Abstract:
A device for dispensing a fluid product, the device comprising:a reservoir configured to contain a fluid product, the reservoir comprising at least one actuating wall having a predetermined threshold resistance to deformation; and a spray orifice associated with the reservoir, wherein the actuating wall is configured to deform in response to pressure exerted on the actuating wall so as to cause the product to be sprayed out from the orifice, wherein the actuating wall is configured so that when pressure exerted on the actuating wall is less than a threshold pressure Ps sufficient to overcome the predetermined threshold resistance to deformation of the actuating wall, substantially no portion of the product is sprayed from the spray orifice, and wherein the device is configured so that, at least upon a first use of the device, continuous exerting of the threshold pressure Ps on the actuating wall causes spraying of the product from the spray orifice for a spray duration that is capable of being altered.
