Filling system for filling a travel dispenser

Abstract

A filling system for filling a travel dispenser comprising: a base ( 1 ); a fluid supply ( 2 ) that is mounted on the base ( 1 ); and a travel dispenser ( 3 ) including a reservoir ( 31 ) that is provided with a filling orifice ( 32 ), the reservoir defining a determined maximum volume, the travel dispenser ( 3 ) being received in removable manner in a filling housing ( 13 ) that is defined by the base ( 1 ); wherein the base ( 1 ) comprises: a manual pump ( 4 ) for taking fluid from the supply ( 2 ) and delivering it through the filling orifice ( 32 ) into the reservoir ( 31 ) of the travel dispenser ( 3 ); and an actuator member ( 43; 42 ) for actuating the manual pump ( 4 ), said system being characterized in that the manual pump ( 4 ) defines a pump chamber ( 40 ) having a maximum volume that is substantially equal to the determined maximum volume of the reservoir ( 31 ) of the travel dispenser ( 3 ), such that, from a completely empty state, the reservoir of the travel dispenser ( 3 ) is filled by pressing once on the pusher ( 43 ).

1 . A filling system for filling a travel dispenser comprising:
 a base ( 1 );   a fluid supply ( 2 ) that is mounted on the base ( 1 ); and   a travel dispenser ( 3 ) including a reservoir ( 31 ) that is provided with a filling orifice ( 32 ), the reservoir defining a determined maximum volume, the travel dispenser ( 3 ) being received in removable manner in a filling housing ( 13 ) that is defined by the base ( 1 );   wherein the base ( 1 ) comprises:
 a manual pump ( 4 )for taking fluid from the supply ( 2 ) and delivering it through the filling orifice ( 32 ) into the reservoir ( 31 ) of the travel dispenser ( 3 ); and 
 an actuator member ( 43 ;  42 ) for actuating the manual pump ( 4 ), 
   said system being characterized in that the manual pump ( 4 ) defines a pump chamber ( 40 ) having a maximum volume that is substantially equal to the determined maximum volume of the reservoir ( 31 ) of the travel dispenser ( 3 ), such that, from a completely empty state, the reservoir of the travel dispenser ( 3 ) is filled by pressing once on the pusher ( 43 ).   
     
     
         2 . A filling system according to  claim 1 , wherein the base ( 1 ) includes delivery ducts ( 15 ,  16 ) between the supply ( 2 ) and the pump ( 4 ) and/or between the pump( 4 ) and the filling housing ( 13 ). 
     
     
         3 . A filling system according to  claim 1 , wherein the filling orifice ( 32 ) is provided with a check valve ( 33 ), the filling housing ( 13 ) including an element ( 17 ) that is suitable for opening the check valve ( 33 ). 
     
     
         4 . A filling system according to  claim 1 , wherein the supply ( 2 ) is disposed upside-down on the base ( 1 ), with its opening ( 22 ) situated in its bottom portion. 
     
     
         5 . A filling system according to  claim 1 , wherein the supply ( 2 ), the filling housing ( 13 ) and the actuator member ( 43 ,  42 ) are situated on a common face of the base ( 1 ). 
     
     
         6 . A filling system according to  claim 1 , wherein the actuator member is a pusher ( 43 ) that is axially movable down and up. 
     
     
         7 . A filling system according to  claim 1 , wherein the actuator member is an actuator rod ( 42 ) of the pump ( 4 ) located in the filling housing ( 13 ) and adapted to be actuated by the travel dispenser ( 3 ).
