Abstract
A fluid dispenser comprising: a fluid reservoir (12) defining at least one actuating wall (21) suitable for being displaced; a dispensing orifice (41); and spring means (7) suitable for loading the actuating wall into a state in which the volume of the reservoir is at its maximum; said fluid dispenser being characterized in that the spring means (7) co-operate with cocking means (11) suitable for bringing the spring means to a state loading the actuating wall from an initial state in which the spring means do not load the actuating wall.
Claims14
A fluid dispenser comprising:
- a fluid reservoir (30) defining at least one actuating wall suitable for being displaced;
- a dispensing orifice (321);
- and
- spring means (1;
- 2;
- 42) suitable for loading the actuating wall into a state in which the volume of the reservoir is at its maximum;
- said fluid dispenser being characterized in that the spring means co-operate with cocking means (42) suitable for bringing the spring means to a state loading the actuating wall from an initial state in which the spring means do not load the actuating wall, the spring means comprising a front plate (1) and a back plate (2), the reservoir (30) being situated between and secured to the front and back plates, the cocking means comprising spacer means (42) that can be displaced selectively between an inoperative position in which the two plates extend substantially parallel to each other and corresponding to a state in which the volume of the reservoir is at its minimum, and an operative position in which the plates are spaced apart from each other at least locally, the front plate being movable relative to the back plate so as to compress the reservoir situated between them, actuating means (4) being provided for positioning the spacer means between the two plates so as to space them apart, the actuating means comprising a traction member (43, 44) provided with a fixing end (433) connected to the spacer means (42) and with a traction end (442), the traction end being situated in the vicinity of the dispensing orifice (321).
