Abstract
The invention relates to a liquid spray bottle with combined drive, equipped with a liquid propulsion member (50) that has a main axis of translation (X′X) coupled, on the one hand, to a spray member (9) comprising a nozzle (11) having an axis of diffusion (Y′Y) and, on the other hand, to a container (3) containing the liquid. The spray bottle comprises a rigid casing (1a, 1b; 20a, 20b) which partially surrounds the container (3) and which extends roughly in a main plane (P) containing the axis of translation (X′X), a connecting member (13) connecting the spray head (9) and the casing, and a region (7, 10d) of sliding between the container and the casing, so that manual thrust ({right arrow over (F)}1) exerted laterally on the container in the main plane (P) of the casing causes, through a combination of the action of the sliding ramp (10d) and of the connecting member (13), actuation of the propulsion member (50) to spray the liquid and a movement of the bottle, with respect to the casing, in a pendular movement about an axis of pivoting located near the propulsion member (50) and which, by converting the movement, generates translation along said axis of translation (X′X) to actu…
