  • This container comprises an applicator device consisting of a cap and a brush mounted on the latter.
  • the cap comprises a cylindrical skirt, which is provided at its lower part with a groove capable of cooperating with a bead of the container in order to be made integral therewith.
  • the upper end of this skirt is open and inclined relative to the axis of the container.
  • An ejection tube which is located inside the volume delimited by the cylindrical skirt, covers at its lower end the valve tube, while its upper end extends obliquely and slightly protrudes from the upper opening of the skirt.
  • This ejection tube comprises a push button connected to the cylindrical skirt, which comprises, at this level, an opening allowing the user to press with a finger on this push button.
  • the brush which is held on the open end of the cylindrical skirt, comprises a plate on the external face of which bristles are arranged; it comprises, on its other face, a cylindrical sleeve, which, on the one hand, covers the upper end of the ejection tube and, on the other hand, opens into an orifice formed in said plate.
  • this product is preferably a detergent.
  • Such a device has, in particular, the drawback of being relatively expensive to make and of not being able to be covered by a protective cover.
  • the present invention aims, in particular, to provide a container comprising an applicator of simple production, adaptable to all types of containers.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide such a container which may include a traditional cover.
  • a container for packaging a product and its controlled distribution said container being provided with an outlet orifice associated with a dispensing head, said head dispenser comprising a cylindrical skirt made integral with this container and connected to a bottom into which an ejection channel opens, said ejection channel being disposed substantially in the extension and in the axis of the outlet orifice, this bottom being surmounted by a base and comprising a tube substantially normal to this base and extending the ejection channel with which it forms an angle, an applicator being disposed at the free end of this tube, container which is characterized, according to the present invention , by the fact that the applicator comprises, on the one hand, a cylindrical sleeve cooperating with the free end of the tubular, and, on the other hand, a plate into which this cylindrical sleeve opens ique and which comprises, on its face opposite to the cylindrical sleeve, bristles distributed around the area where the sleeve opens,
  • the holding device cooperating with the cylindrical sleeve of the applicator is a stud or a recess.
  • This applicator can be made of a plastic material flexible such as an elastomeric copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate.
  • the plate is circular and the cylindrical sleeve opens out substantially in its central zone.

  • the latter comprises a body 2 having a cylindrical side wall, on the upper end edge of which is fixed, by means of a crimping, a valve-holder cup 3.
  • a valve-holder cup 3 In the central zone of this valve-holder cup 3, there is a valve provided with an emerging outlet tube 4. If the outlet tube 4 of the valve is pressed, the contents of the container are brought into the open air, which is then projected out of the latter , under the effect of the propellant gas present in the container, with simultaneous production of foam or an aerosol depending on the products constituting the liquid phase.
  • a dispensing head 5 constituted by a fixed part 6 and by a movable part 7, which is provided with an applicator 8.
  • the fixed part 6 of the dispensing head 5 is constituted by a cylindrical peripheral skirt 9 connected to a bottom 10 having a central opening 11. In the mounting position of the dispensing head 5 on the body 2, the bottom 10 overhangs the edge upper peripheral of the valve-holder cup 3.
  • the skirt 9 has internally, in the vicinity of its free edge, an interrupted annular ring 12 which, in the mounting position of the head 5, snaps inside the peripheral groove resulting from the crimping operation of the valve-holder cup 3 on the side wall of the body 2 of the container 1.
  • the fixed part 6 of the dispensing head 5 comprises several radial fins 13 connected to the skirt 9 and to the bottom 10, these fins 13 coming to bear on the upper peripheral edge of the valve-holder cup 3 when the head 5 has just been fixed on the body 2.
  • the movable part 7, or base, of the dispensing head 5 is constituted by a base 14 in the form of a disc, of diameter slightly smaller than that of the opening 11: this base 14 is articulated at the inner edge of the bottom 10 by a film hinge 15.
  • the base 14 carries externally, at the opposite of the film hinge 15, a push button 16 consisting of a protuberance delimited by an external side wall 16 a frustoconical, two side walls 16 b substantially radial and an upper wall 16 c : the user pressing this upper wall 16 c exerts pressure on the push button 16 to dispense the product contained in the container 1.
  • This upper wall 16 c has a circular recess 17.
  • the walls 16b are extended by walls 18 parallel to each other, the height of which progressively decreases up to the line of the film hinge 15. These walls 18 are joined by an oblique rectangular wall 19 whose base is determined by the hinge -film 15.
  • the wall 16c has, projecting on its lower face, a cylindrical chimney 23.
  • An ejection channel 21 is delimited by the cylindrical chimney 23, the lower edge 24 of which is chamfered; this channel is extended, after an internal annular shoulder 25, by a part of smaller diameter 26, into which opens a channel 27 defined by a tubular 28; the channel 27 passes through the wall 19 in its upper part; the tubing 28 projects outwardly relative to the wall 19.
  • the applicator 8 is constituted by a plate 29 of which one face, facing outwards, comprises bristles 30, while its other face, opposite to that carrying the bristles 30, is extended by a cylindrical sleeve 31.
  • the internal diameter of this cylindrical sleeve is substantially equal to the outside diameter of the tabulation 28, so that this cylindrical sleeve 31 can come to be fitted on the tube 28.
  • the cylindrical sleeve 31 opens into the plate 29 substantially in the center of the latter.
  • This applicator is completely molded from an ethylene / vinyl acetate elastomer copolymer. Fins 33 are provided to support the plate 29: they bear on the cylindrical sleeve 31.
  • this tubing 28 forms an angle with the ejection channel 21-26, located in the axis of the container 1.
  • the applicator 8 In the storage position, the applicator 8 is placed so that its cylindrical sleeve 31 comes to be placed in the recess 17 of the upper wall 16 c of the push button 16, so as to be able to cover the dispensing head. a protective cover 32.
  • the axis of the applicator 8 is parallel to the axis of the container 1 and the applicator 8 in no way projects beyond the container 1, which allows it to be covered by a protective cover 32, the base of which comes to cooperate with a groove 34 provided in the body 2 of the container 1.
