Abstract

A fluid dispenser device comprising: a body ( 10 ); a reservoir ( 20 ); a dispenser member ( 30 ), such as a pump or a valve, that is mounted on the reservoir ( 20 ); and a lateral actuator system ( 40 ) that is secured to said body ( 10 ); the device further comprising a ring ( 50 ) that is mounted on or secured to the reservoir ( 20 ), said ring ( 50 ) including at least one radial projection ( 55 ) that is adapted to co-operate with a movable element ( 45 ) of said lateral actuator system ( 40 ), the device being characterized in that said at least one projection ( 55 ) is beveled with a sloping radial end surface ( 56 ).

Claims (10)

1 . A fluid dispenser device comprising: a body ( 10 ); a reservoir ( 20 ); a dispenser member ( 30 ), such as a pump or a valve, that is mounted on the reservoir ( 20 ); and a lateral actuator system ( 40 ) that is secured to said body ( 10 ); the device further comprising a ring ( 50 ) that is mounted on or secured to the reservoir ( 20 ), said ring ( 50 ) including at least one radial projection ( 55 ) that is adapted to co-operate with a movable element ( 45 ) of said lateral actuator system ( 40 ), the device being characterized in that said at least one projection ( 55 ) is beveled with a sloping radial end surface ( 56 ).

2 . A device according to claim 1 , wherein said ring ( 50 ) includes two radial projections ( 55 ) that are on a common axis and symmetrical, respectively extending on either side of said ring ( 50 ).

3 . A device according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one projection ( 55 ) has a section that is round, in particular circular.

4 . A device according to claim 1 , wherein said movable element ( 45 ) of said lateral actuator system ( 40 ) includes an eyelet ( 46 ) for each radial projection ( 55 ) of the ring ( 50 ), said eyelet ( 46 ) surrounding said radial projection ( 55 ).

5 . A device according to claim 4 , wherein said eyelet ( 46 ) has an inner outline that is round, in particular oblong.

6 . A device according to claim 1 , wherein the dispenser member ( 30 ) is a pump including a piston ( 31 ) that slides in a pump body ( 32 ), said ring ( 50 ) including an axial sleeve ( 500 ) having a first axial end ( 510 ) that forms a ferrule defining the rest position of the piston ( 31 ), and having a second axial end ( 520 ) that is formed on a tubular guide portion ( 530 ) that is adapted to guide the piston ( 31 ) while it is sliding.

7 . A device according to claim 6 , wherein a pusher is assembled on said pump ( 30 ), said pusher including a portion that comes to be assembled inside said second axial end ( 520 ).

8 . A device according to claim 7 , wherein said axial sleeve ( 530 ) extends as far as the axial end of said piston ( 31 ).

9 . A device according to claim 7 , wherein the second axial end ( 520 ) is beveled so as to make it easier to assemble said pusher.

10 . A device according to claim 1 , wherein said ring ( 50 ) is the fastener ring for fastening said dispenser member ( 30 ) on said reservoir ( 20 ).
