Fluid Product Spraying Device
A fluid product spray device comprising a fluid product distribution pump ( 10 ) and a spray head ( 20 ) for manually actuating the pump ( 10 ). The device comprises distribution detection means ( 30 ) which are used to detect the distribution of a dose of product, said detection means ( 30 ) being adapted in such a way as to be able to provide a signal informing the user that a dose of product has been distributed by said pump.
1 . Fluid product spraying device comprising a fluid product dispensing pump ( 10 ) operating without propellant gas and without active spraying means, such as piezoelectric or electrostatic spraying means, and a spray head ( 20 ) to actuate the said pump ( 10 ) manually, characterised in that the said device comprises dispensing detection means ( 30 ) to detect that a product dose has been dispensed, the said detection means ( 30 ) being adapted to output a signal to inform the user that a dose of product has actually been dispensed by the said pump.
2 . Device according to claim 1 , in which the dispensing pump ( 10 ) is connected to a spraying orifice ( 40 ) through an expulsion channel ( 50 ), the said detection means ( 30 ) being provided in the said expulsion channel ( 50 ).
3 . Device according to claim 2 , in which the said detection means ( 30 ) comprise an expulsion detector ( 30 ) adapted to detect the passage of the product in the said expulsion channel ( 50 ).
4 . Device according to claim 3 , in which the said expulsion detector ( 30 ) comprises a pressure sensor adapted to detect the pressure difference at the time that a product dose is sprayed.
5 . Device according to claim 1 , in which the said detection means ( 30 ) are connected to electronic means to process signals output by the said detection means ( 30 ).
6 . Device according to claim 1 , in which the said detection means ( 30 ) are also adapted to increment and decrement a dose counter.
7 . Device according to claim 1 , in which the said device is a nasal spraying device, the said pump ( 10 ) being adapted to dispense the product so finely sprayed that this spraying is undetectable by the user, the said detection means ( 30 ) informing the user each time that a product dose has been dispensed.
