Patent ID: 7798368

Claim:
A fluid dispensing device for spraying a fluid into a body cavity comprising a housing, a nozzle for insertion into a body cavity, a fluid discharge device moveably housed within the housing, the fluid discharge device comprising a container for storing the fluid to be dispensed and a compression pump having a suction inlet located within the container and a discharge outlet for transferring fluid from the pump to the nozzle and finger operable means to apply a force to the container to move the container towards the nozzle so as to actuate the pump wherein the finger operable means comprises of two opposing levers each of which is pivotally connected to part of the housing and is arranged to act upon the container so as to urge the container towards the nozzle when the two levers are squeezed together by a user; in which the fluid discharge device has a longitudinal axis and at least part of the surface of a base portion of the container is inclined at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the fluid discharge device so as to form an inclined surface, the or each inclined surface being arranged to be acted upon by the levers so as to convert a force applied to the levers substantially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the fluid discharge device into a force along the longitudinal axis of the fluid discharge device.
