TWO-CHANNEL DISPENSING DEVICE INTENDED TO CLOSE A BOTTLE
The invention relates to a two-channel dispensing device intended to close a bottle. The device is provided with two reservoirs (13, 14), two channels of which the first end, referred to as the inlet end, opens into one of the reservoirs and of which the second end, referred to as the outlet end, opens out of said reservoir. First open/close means are provided in each channel and can pass from a closed position, in which a product contained in the corresponding reservoir cannot exit said reservoir, to an open position, in which a product contained in the corresponding reservoir can exit said reservoir. The two channels are isolated from one another at least between their inlet ends and their respective open/close means. The inlet ends of the two channels are separated and at a distance from one another. In accordance with the invention, the reservoirs are formed by a single flexible pouch that is separated into a first and a second compartment (13, 14) by a central separator (12), the first compartment (13) fulfilling the function of the first reservoir and the second compartment (14) that of the second reservoir. The inlet end of the first channel opens into the first compartment (13) and the inlet end of the second channel opens into the second compartment (14) such that the two compartments are isolated from one another. Thus, a single pouch can form two reservoirs. Thus, all that is necessary is to position a single pouch and fix it, for example by welding, at the inner ends of each channel.

The invention relates to an apparatus for dispensing a product under pressure, having a flexible bag with an outlet opening, wherein elastic means are arranged around the bag and subject the latter to a pressure in the direction of its centre. In order to provide an apparatus which is intended for dispensing a product under pressure, and allows for the apparatus to be emptied at least substantially in its entirety at a uniform dispensing rate, it is proposed, within the context of the invention, that the elastic means comprise at least one elastic band arranged at least in certain sub-regions around the bag. It has surprisingly been found, within the context of the invention, that an elastic band wound around the flexible bag makes it possible for the bag to be subjected to pressure loading corresponding substantially to the pressure loading which takes place in a pressure vessel. It is possible here both to achieve a uniform dispensing rate from the first application to the last application and for the bag contents to be emptied virtually in their entirety.

The invention relates to a trigger diffuser to be attached to the neck of a vial provided with an outlet valve. The diffuser comprises fixation means for attaching the same to the vial, actuation means for actuating the vial valve, a trigger (200) that can be moved between a neutral position, in which the actuation means do not actuate the valve, and a diffusion position in which the actuation means are moved towards the valve while actuating the same, and an outlet channel for conveying outside the diffuser the product exiting the valve when the latter is actuated. The purpose of the invention is to provide a diffuser according to the preamble, which can be stored without the trigger being accidentally operated. The aim of the invention is reached because the receiver further comprises blocking means (304) that can be moved between a blocking position, in which said blocking means block the movement of the trigger (200) and prevent the same from reaching the diffusion position, and an unblocking position in which the trigger can be moved from the neutral position to the diffusion position. Such means make it possible to block the trigger (200) even after a first use.
