FLUID DISPENSING DEVICE
The present invention relates to a fluid dispensing device ( 1 ) comprising a container ( 2 ) suitable for holding the fluid, such as a perfume, a decorative body ( 5 ) located inside the container ( 2 ) and destined to be located in the fluid, wherein the decorative body ( 5 ) includes light emitting means ( 13 ), and activation means ( 14 ) for activating the light emitting means ( 13 ). The fluid dispensing device further includes a passive label ( 23 ) arranged externally to the container ( 2 ) and adapted to cooperate with an LCR circuit ( 22 ) to control activation of the light emitting means ( 13 ).
1 . A fluid dispensing device comprising:
(a) a container suitable for holding fluid, wherein the container is a sealed liquid-tight container;
(b) a decorative body located inside the container and positioned to be located in fluid held by the container, wherein;
the decorative body includes light emitting means, and activation means connected to activate the light emitting means,
wherein
the activation means includes a motion detector disposed to detect movement of the fluid dispensing device, and
wherein the decorative body further comprises energy saving means operable to prevent operation of the activation means, and
wherein the energy saving means includes an LCR circuit; and
(c) a passive label arranged externally to the container and adapted to cooperate with the LCR circuit to control activation of the light emitting means, wherein the
passive label is an iron ribbon or an RF tag and the LCR circuit is adapted to detect the presence of the passive label.
2 . The fluid dispensing device according to claim 1 , wherein the motion detector comprises a mass, a spring, and an annular contact surrounding the mass and spring.
3 . The fluid dispensing device according to claim 1 , wherein said activation means further comprises a controller operably connected to control activation of the light emitting means.
4 . The fluid dispensing device according to claim 1 , wherein the light emitting means comprises a white light emitting diode.
5 . The fluid dispensing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
(d) a spray cap and a protective cap arranged to cover the spray cap in order to avoid unintentional activation of the fluid dispenser.
6 . The fluid dispensing device according to claim 5 , wherein the passive label is fixed to the protective cap and is adapted to cooperate with the LCR circuit.
7 . The fluid dispensing device according to claim 1 , wherein the decorative body is translucent.
8 . The fluid dispensing device according to claim 1 , wherein the fluid held by the container is perfume.
9 . The fluid dispensing device according to claim 2 , wherein said activation means further comprises a controller operably connected to control activation of the light emitting means.
10 . The fluid dispensing device according to claim 2 , wherein the light emitting means comprises a white light emitting diode.
11 . The fluid dispensing device according to claim 3 , wherein the light emitting means comprises a white light emitting diode.
12 . The fluid dispensing device according to claim 9 , wherein the light emitting means comprises a white light emitting diode.
13 . The fluid dispensing device according to claim 2 , further comprising:
(d) a spray cap and a protective cap arranged to cover the spray cap in order to avoid unintentional activation of the fluid dispenser.
14 . The fluid dispensing device according to claim 3 , further comprising:
(d) a spray cap and a protective cap arranged to cover the spray cap in order to avoid unintentional activation of the fluid dispenser.
15 . The fluid dispensing device according to claim 4 , further comprising:
(d) a spray cap and a protective cap arranged to cover the spray cap in order to avoid unintentional activation of the fluid dispenser.
16 . The fluid dispensing device according to claim 9 , further comprising:
(d) a spray cap and a protective cap arranged to cover the spray cap in order to avoid unintentional activation of the fluid dispenser.
17 . The fluid dispensing device according to claim 10 , further comprising:
(d) a spray cap and a protective cap arranged to cover the spray cap in order to avoid unintentional activation of the fluid dispenser.
18 . The fluid dispensing device according to claim 11 , further comprising:
(d) a spray cap and a protective cap arranged to cover the spray cap in order to avoid unintentional activation of the fluid dispenser.
