Abstract
A fluid dispenser device a body (), a fluid reservoir (), a dispensing member, such as a pump or a metering valve having a piston or a valve member that is mounted to move axially, which dispensing member is fitted to the reservoir (), and an actuating element () mounted to move between a rest position and an actuating position, for actuating the dispensing member and thus for selectively dispensing the fluid contained in the reservoir (), fluid dispenser device being characterized in that the direction in which actuating element () moves is different from, and in particular perpendicular to, the axial direction in which the piston or the valve member of the dispensing member moves, the actuating element () having an end portion provided with the cam surface () which co-operates with the reservoir () or a fixing ring () adapted to fix the dispensing member to the reservoir () so that the actuating element () being moved substantially radially into its actuating position causes the reservoir () to be moved axially relative to the piston or to the valve member of the dispensing member so as to dispense a dose of fluid.
