Abstract
A fluid application device including a reservoir intended to contain a free fluid and a fluid delivery device, wherein the reservoir is sealed by a valve having a self-healing material. The fluid application device includes a tubular means for piercing the valve and for simultaneously placing fluid from the reservoir in communication with the fluid delivery device.
Claims18
A fluid application device comprising:
- a reservoir intended to contain a free fluid and a fluid delivery device,
- wherein the reservoir is sealed by a valve comprising a self-healing material;
- a tubular means for piercing the valve and for simultaneously placing fluid from the reservoir in communication with the fluid delivery device;
- and
- a displacement means for the relative displacement of the valve towards the tubular piercing means, the displacement means for the relative displacement of the valve towards the tubular piercing means being actionable by external forces applied to an actuator, whereby the tubular piercing means enables release of the fluid from the reservoir to the fluid application device at each use of the fluid-applying device;
- and
- a means, performed by a spring element, enabling the valve to be withdrawn from the tubular piercing means in the absence of the external forces.

A fluid application device comprising
- a reservoir intended to contain a free fluid and a fluid delivery device,
- wherein the reservoir is sealed by a valve comprising a self-healing material, the self-healing material is selected from the group consisting of multifunctional fatty acids, acrylic monomers or polymers, polyurethanes, and polyether-based copolymers,
- a tubular means for piercing the valve and for simultaneously placing fluid from the reservoir in communication with the fluid delivery device;
- and
- a displacement means for the relative displacement of the valve towards the tubular piercing means, the displacement means for the relative displacement of the valve towards the tubular piercing means being actionable by external forces applied to an actuator, whereby the tubular piercing means enables release of the fluid from the reservoir to the fluid application device at each use of the fluid-applying device;
- and
- a means enabling the valve to be withdrawn from the tubular piercing means in the absence of the external forces.

- and
- a means enabling the valve to be withdrawn from the tubular piercing means in the absence of the external forces,
- wherein the valve comprises at least one part made of a self-healing material and at least one part made of a non-self-healing material, the non-self-healing material is selected from the group consisting of elastomers, polyolefins, polymethacrylates and styrenic polymers, the part consisting of a self-healing material being more specially arranged in order to be perforated by the tubular piercing means.
