EP2583758A1 — Manually operable fluid dispensing device

USPTO Abstract

Manually operable fluid dispensing device, comprising: a housing (10a, 10b; 110; 210), an actuation member (30; 130; 230) attached to the housing (10a, 10b; 110; 210) so that it can be manually actuated in an actuation direction, a movable member (20; 120; 220) being movable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the actuation direction of the actuation member (30; 130; 230) in order to enable a discharge of fluid from the fluid dispensing device, a conversion mechanism for converting a movement of the actuation member (30; 130; 230) into a movement of the moveable member, wherein the conversion mechanism includes a flexible member (40; 140; 240) being elastically deformable, the flexible member (40; 140; 240) being in engagement with the movable member (20; 120; 220) and supported by the actuation member (30; 130; 230) such that it is able to elastically deform in connection with an actuation of the actuation member (30; 130; 230), the flexible member (40; 140; 240) applying a force onto the movable member (20; 120; 220) for moving the movable member (20; 120; 220).
