Description

La présente invention est relative à un dispositif de maquillage et plus précisément un dispositif de maquillage pour l'application d'un produit de maquillage visqueux ou pâteux tel que du mascara.The present invention relates to a makeup device and more specifically a makeup device for applying a viscous or pasty makeup product such as mascara.

Les dispositifs pour distribuer et appliquer un produit de maquillage tel que du mascara comportent habituellement un corps formant réservoir de produit et comportant à une extrémité ouverte une partie de col sur laquelle vient se fixer, notamment par vissage, un bouchon muni d'un applicateur formé d'une tige portant une brosse à son extrémité.The devices for dispensing and applying a makeup product such as mascara usually comprise a body forming a reservoir of product and comprising at an open end a neck portion on which is fixed, in particular by screwing, a stopper provided with a formed applicator. a rod carrying a brush at its end.

L'applicateur plonge donc, en position fermée du dispositif, dans le produit contenu dans le réservoir.The applicator therefore plunges, in the closed position of the device, into the product contained in the reservoir.

Lorsque l'on désire appliquer le produit, on dégage l'applicateur en enlevant le bouchon dont il est solidaire et l'on procède au maquillage des cils en appliquant le produit se trouvant sur la brosse.When it is desired to apply the product, the applicator is released by removing the stopper of which it is integral and the make-up of the eyelashes is carried out by applying the product being on the brush.

Pendant toute l'opération de maquillage, qui peut être relativement longue, le produit se trouvant dans le réservoir est en contact avec l'air au travers de l'extrémité ouverte du réservoir.During the entire makeup operation, which can be relatively long, the product in the tank is in contact with air through the open end of the tank.

Or, la plupart des produits de maquillage, et en particulier les mascaras, ont tendance à perdre de leurs propriétés cosmétiques au contact de l'air et en particulier ont tendance à sécher.However, most makeup products, and in particular mascaras, tend to lose their cosmetic properties on contact with air and in particular tend to dry.

Après un certain nombre d'utilisations, une partie du produit se trouvant encore dans le réservoir devient inutilisable.After a certain number of uses, part of the product still in the tank becomes unusable.

De plus, le produit risque, au contact de l'air, d'être contaminé par des micro-organismes.In addition, the product may, on contact with air, be contaminated by microorganisms.

De EP-A-0 045 690, on connaît un dispositif de maquillage comportant un corps cylindrique apte à loger un réservoir étanche, des moyens associés audit réservoir pour réaliser une distribution dosée du produit contenu dans le réservoir au travers d'un ajutage de sortie frontale de celui-ci sur un applicateur monté à demeure sur ledit corps cylindrique au voisinage de l'extrémité frontale de celui-ci, ledit applicateur comprenant une tige à l'extrémité de laquelle est monté un organe d'application, ladite tige étant pourvue d'un conduit intérieur en communication avec l'ajutage de sortie du réservoir d'une part et avec l'organe d'application d'autre part, et un capuchon apte à coiffer ledit applicateur et muni à son extrémité ouverte de moyens pour sa fixation séparable sur ledit corps, au voisinage de ladite extrémité frontale de celui-ci.EP-A-0 045 690 discloses a make-up device comprising a cylindrical body capable of accommodating a sealed reservoir, means associated with said reservoir for achieving metered distribution of the product contained in the reservoir through an outlet nozzle front thereof on an applicator permanently mounted on said cylindrical body in the vicinity of the front end thereof, said applicator comprising a rod at the end of which is mounted an applicator member, said rod being provided an inner conduit in communication with the outlet nozzle of the reservoir on the one hand and with the applicator member on the other hand, and a cap capable of covering said applicator and provided at its open end with means for its separable attachment on said body, in the vicinity of said front end thereof.

La présente invention se propose de réaliser un dispositif de maquillage comportant un réservoir dans lequel le produit de maquillage contenu reste en permanence à l'abri de l'air, en particulier pendant les phases d'utilisation du dispositif pour le maquillage.The present invention proposes to produce a makeup device comprising a reservoir in which the makeup product contents remain permanently protected from air, in particular during the phases of use of the device for make-up.

La présente invention se propose également de fournir un dispositif de maquillage qui permet de distribuer des quantités dosées du produit contenu dans le réservoir.The present invention also proposes to provide a makeup device which makes it possible to dispense metered quantities of the product contained in the reservoir.

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de maquillage tel que défini par la revendication 1.The subject of the present invention is a makeup device as defined by claim 1.

De préférence, l'organe d'application est constitué par une brosse, en particulier du type à âme métallique sur laquelle sont fixés des poils de brosse.Preferably, the applicator member is constituted by a brush, in particular of the type with a metallic core on which brush bristles are fixed.

L'organe d'application peut également être constitué par une vis, un ressort, un embout, notamment en mousse thermoplastique ou en feutre, ou une plume, éventuellement floqués.The applicator member can also be constituted by a screw, a spring, a tip, in particular made of thermoplastic foam or felt, or a feather, possibly flocked.

Comme indiqué ci-dessus, selon l'invention, l'applicateur est monté à demeure sur le corps, c'est-à-dire qu'il reste solidaire de celui-ci aussi bien en position d'utilisation du dispositif qu'en position fermée. A cet effet, la tige de l'applicateur peut être montée fixe dans ledit corps en étant notamment réalisée d'un seul tenant avec lui ou mobile longitudinalement dans celui-ci.As indicated above, according to the invention, the applicator is permanently mounted on the body, that is to say that it remains integral with the latter both in the position of use of the device and in closed position. To this end, the rod of the applicator can be fixedly mounted in said body, in particular being produced integrally with it or movable longitudinally therein.

Pour procéder à la phase de maquillage, il suffit avec le dispositif selon l'invention de retirer le capuchon pour faire apparaître l'applicateur.To proceed to the make-up phase, it is sufficient with the device according to the invention to remove the cap to reveal the applicator.

Grâce à la structure du dispositif selon l'invention, le produit contenu dans le réservoir n'est jamais en contact avec l'air même lors de la phase de maquillage après enlèvement du capuchon.Thanks to the structure of the device according to the invention, the product contained in the reservoir is never in contact with air even during the makeup phase after removing the cap.

Le corps cylindrique du dispositif selon l'invention comporte avantageusement des extrémités ouvertes et le réservoir étanche de produit est avantageusement un réservoir rigide monté coulissant à l'intérieur dudit corps entre une position dans laquelle sa partie d'extrémité arrière fait saillie de l'extrémité arrière ouverte du corps, et une position dans laquelle la partie d'extrémité arrière du réservoir se trouve enfoncée à l'intérieur du corps.The cylindrical body of the device according to the invention advantageously has open ends and the sealed product reservoir is advantageously a rigid reservoir mounted sliding inside said body between a position in which its rear end portion projects from the end open rear of the body, and a position in which the rear end portion of the tank is pressed inside the body.

Cette partie d'extrémité arrière du réservoir constitue un poussoir d'actionnement pour l'expulsion d'une quantité dosée du produit contenu à l'intérieur du réservoir.This rear end portion of the tank constitutes an actuating pusher for the expulsion of a metered quantity of the product contained inside the tank.

A cet effet, le réservoir comporte à son extrémité frontale un mécanisme de pompe actionnable par suite du déplacement du réservoir dans le corps pour réaliser une dépression à l'intérieur du volume du réservoir.For this purpose, the reservoir comprises at its front end a pump mechanism which can be actuated as a result of the displacement of the reservoir in the body to produce a vacuum inside the volume of the reservoir.

Le mécanisme de pompe peut être monté directement sur le réservoir et solidarisé à lui. En variante, le mécanisme de pompe peut être monté sur une pièce-transfert servant d'adaptateur pour connecter, le façon séparable, le mécanisme de pompe au réservoir. Dans ce cas, un même mécanisme de pompe peut être successivement monté sur plusieurs réservoirs constituant des cartouches interchangeables.The pump mechanism can be mounted directly on the tank and secured to it. Alternatively, the pump mechanism can be mounted on a transfer piece serving as an adapter to connect, in a separable way, the pump mechanism to the reservoir. In this case, the same pump mechanism can be successively mounted on several reservoirs constituting interchangeable cartridges.

Pour l'expulsion d'une quantité dosée du produit, au travers de l'ajutage de sortie frontal du réservoir vers l'applicateur, il est prévu, dans le réservoir, un piston coulissant dont une face est en communication avec l'atmosphère, par exemple par un orifice de sortie prévu dans la paroi de fond arrière du réservoir, le piston étant déplacé dans le réservoir par suite de la dépression créée par le mécanisme de pompe.For the expulsion of a metered quantity of the product, through the front outlet nozzle from the reservoir to the applicator, there is provided, in the reservoir, a sliding piston, one face of which is in communication with the atmosphere, for example by an outlet orifice provided in the rear bottom wall of the tank, the piston being moved in the tank as a result of the vacuum created by the pump mechanism.

En variante, le produit peut être contenu dans une poche à paroi déformable logée dans le réservoir soumise extérieurement à la pression atmosphérique par exemple, également par un orifice ménagé dans la paroi de fond arrière du réservoir, la quantité dosée de produit étant expulsée de la poche par suite de la dépression créée par l'actionnement du mécanisme de pompe.As a variant, the product may be contained in a pocket with a deformable wall housed in the tank subjected externally to atmospheric pressure, for example, also through an orifice in the rear bottom wall of the tank, the metered amount of product being expelled from the bag as a result of the vacuum created by the actuation of the pump mechanism.

Dans un mode particulier de réalisation, le dispositif est agencé pour ne permettre l'actionnement des moyens de distribution dosée du produit que lorsque le dispositif est en position fermée, c'est-à-dire lorsque le capuchon est monté sur l'extrémité frontale du corps.In a particular embodiment, the device is arranged to allow actuation of the metered dispensing means of the product only when the device is in the closed position, that is to say when the cap is mounted on the front end from the body.

A cet effet, il est prévu des moyens pour solidariser temporairement, pendant le dévissage et le vissage du capuchon sur le corps, l'embout du capuchon avec la tige de l'applicateur. L'embout comporte pour cela dans un mode de mise en oeuvre particulier une portée intérieure de section correspondant à la section de la partie d'extrémité la tige de l'applicateur assurant un montage serré dur de l'embout sur la tige.To this end, means are provided for temporarily securing, during the unscrewing and screwing of the cap on the body, the tip of the cap with the rod of the applicator. The tip comprises for this in a particular embodiment an inner section bearing corresponding to the section of the end part the rod of the applicator ensuring a tight tight mounting of the nozzle on the rod.

De préférence, le capuchon présente une forme intérieure lui permettant d'entourer à faible jeu l'applicateur de manière à ne ménager qu'un volume faible susceptible de contenir de l'air entre l'applicateur et le capuchon.Preferably, the cap has an internal shape allowing it to surround the applicator at low clearance so as to provide only a small volume capable of containing air between the applicator and the cap.

Le capuchon est avantageusement réalisé en un matériau bactériostatique ou comporte un revêtement intérieur en un matériau bactériostatique afin d'inhiber le développement de bactéries.The cap is advantageously made of a bacteriostatic material or has an inner coating of a bacteriostatic material in order to inhibit the development of bacteria.

La surface intérieure du capuchon peut ainsi être en métal argenté ou cuivré ou comporter un revêtement d'or ou de zinc. Le capuchon peut également être une pièce moulée en matière thermoplastique comportant des charges d'ions cuivreux, d'ions argent, d'ions or, ou d'ions zinc ou encore des particules d'acide citrique, d'acide salicylique, d'acide benzoïque, ou d'acétophénone.The inner surface of the cap can thus be made of silver or copper metal or have a coating of gold or zinc. The cap may also be a molded part made of thermoplastic material comprising charges of copper ions, silver ions, gold ions, or zinc ions or else particles of citric acid, salicylic acid, benzoic acid, or acetophenone.

Pour des raisons essentiellement d'esthétique, le capuchon peut être recouvert par un capot extérieur susceptible d'être enlevé et mis en place séparément du capuchon ou en en même temps que lui.For essentially aesthetic reasons, the cap can be covered by an outer cover which can be removed and put in place separately from the cap or at the same time as it.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description qui suit de deux exemples de mises en oeuvre de l'invention nullement limitatifs en se référant au dessin annexé dans lequel :

  • Les figures 1 à 4 sont des vues schématiques, en coupe longitudinale, d'un premier mode de réalisation de dispositif selon l'invention dans différentes positions en cours de fonctionnement, et
  • les figures 5 et 6 sont des vues analogues d'un second mode de réalisation de dispositif selon l'invention en position fermée et respectivement ouverte d'utilisation.
Other advantages and characteristics of the invention will appear on reading the following description of two examples of implementation of the invention which are in no way limiting, with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 are schematic views, in longitudinal section, of a first embodiment of the device according to the invention in different positions during operation, and
  • Figures 5 and 6 are similar views of a second embodiment of the device according to the invention in the closed position and respectively open use.

On se réfère tout d'abord aux figures 1 à 4.We first refer to Figures 1 to 4.

Le dispositif selon l'invention comporte un corps cylindrique rigide 1 ouvert à son extrémité frontale 1a et à son extrémité arrière 1b, et à l'intérieur duquel est monté coulissant un conteneur cylindrique rigide 2, par exemple métallique, formant réservoir pour un produit de maquillage (non représenté) tel que du mascara. Le réservoir 2 peut le cas échéant être une cartouche interchangeable.The device according to the invention comprises a rigid cylindrical body 1 open at its front end 1a and at its rear end 1b, and inside which is slidably mounted a rigid cylindrical container 2, for example metallic, forming a reservoir for a product of makeup (not shown) such as mascara. The tank 2 can optionally be an interchangeable cartridge.

Un mécanisme de pompe désigné globalement par 3 est monté sur l'extrémité frontale 2a du réservoir 2.A pump mechanism generally designated by 3 is mounted on the front end 2a of the tank 2.

Le mécanisme de pompe 3 n'est pas illustré en détail sur le dessin et peut être de tout type conventionnel apte, lorsqu'il est actionné, à réaliser une dépression à l'intérieur du volume du réservoir.The pump mechanism 3 is not illustrated in detail in the drawing and can be of any conventional type capable, when actuated, of producing a vacuum inside the volume of the tank.

Le mécanisme de pompe 3 est mis en place sur le réservoir 2 après remplissage de celui-ci en produit de maquillage et ce, par tout moyen de solidarisation conventionnel, notamment par sertissage ou par vissage. Dans une variante, non représentée, notamment lorsque le réservoir est une cartouche interchangeable, le mécanisme de pompe 3 peut être monté sur une pièce-transfert apte à être fixée, de manière séparable, au réservoir 2.The pump mechanism 3 is put in place on the reservoir 2 after filling of the latter with makeup product and this, by any conventional attachment means, in particular by crimping or by screwing. In a variant, not shown, in particular when the reservoir is an interchangeable cartridge, the pump mechanism 3 can be mounted on a transfer part capable of being fixed, in a separable manner, to the reservoir 2.

Un ajutage de distribution de produit 4 est monté en saillie de l'extrémité frontale du réservoir et, de manière conventionnelle, est mis en communication avec l'intérieur du réservoir lors de l'actionnement du mécanisme de pompe.A product distribution nozzle 4 is mounted projecting from the front end of the reservoir and, in a conventional manner, is placed in communication with the interior of the reservoir when the pump mechanism is actuated.

La partie arrière 2b du réservoir se termine par un fond fermé 2c muni d'au moins un orifice 2d pour mettre en communication avec l'atmosphère extérieure un piston 5 monté libre dans le réservoir et qui peut ainsi se déplacer par pas successifs, vers la gauche sur le dessin, lors de chaque actionnement du mécanisme de pompe 3 du fait du différentiel de pression résultant de la dépression provoquée dans le réservoir par l'actionnement du mécanisme de pompe et la pression atmosphérique qui s'exerce sur la face arrière du piston 5.The rear part 2b of the tank ends in a closed bottom 2c provided with at least one orifice 2d to put in communication with the external atmosphere a piston 5 mounted freely in the tank and which can thus move in successive steps towards the left in the drawing, each time the actuation mechanism is actuated pump 3 due to the pressure differential resulting from the depression caused in the tank by the actuation of the pump mechanism and the atmospheric pressure exerted on the rear face of the piston 5.

Au lieu d'un piston 5, on peut prévoir à l'intérieur du réservoir 2 une poche en matériau déformable contenant le produit.Instead of a piston 5, one can provide inside the tank 2 a pocket of deformable material containing the product.

L'ajutage 4 est solidaire d'une tige 6 munie d'un conduit intérieur 7 débouchant par des orifices 8 à la périphérie de la tige.The nozzle 4 is integral with a rod 6 provided with an inner conduit 7 opening out through orifices 8 at the periphery of the rod.

Sur l'extrémité avant 6a de la tige, est montée une brosse 9 de configuration traditionnelle pour l'application d'un produit de maquillage tel que du mascara.On the front end 6a of the rod, is mounted a brush 9 of traditional configuration for the application of a makeup product such as mascara.

Le corps 1 comporte, au voisinage de son extrémité frontale 1a, un tronçon de paroi muni d'un filetage intérieur 10.The body 1 comprises, near its front end 1a, a wall section provided with an internal thread 10.

La tige 6 comporte à son extrémité arrière, un tronçon de paroi muni d'un filetage extérieur 11. Le corps 1 comporte en outre une portée annulaire 12 dont la face avant constitue une butée vers l'arrière pour le tronçon fileté 11 de la tige 6 dont la face arrière constitue une surface de butée vers l'avant pour le mécanisme de pompe 3.The rod 6 has, at its rear end, a wall section provided with an external thread 11. The body 1 also has an annular bearing 12 the front face of which constitutes a rearward stop for the threaded section 11 of the rod 6, the rear face of which constitutes a forward abutment surface for the pump mechanism 3.

La tige 6 est mise en place dans le corps 1 par vissage jusqu'à ce que son tronçon fileté 11 passe au-delà, vers la droite, du tronçon fileté 10 de la paroi intérieure du corps 1.The rod 6 is put into place in the body 1 by screwing until its threaded section 11 passes beyond, to the right, the threaded section 10 of the interior wall of the body 1.

On comprend que la tige 6 est ainsi déplaçable par rapport au corps 1 dans la zone définie entre le tronçon fileté intérieurement 10 et la butée 12 tout en restant montée à demeure sur le corps 1.It is understood that the rod 6 is thus movable relative to the body 1 in the zone defined between the internally threaded section 10 and the stop 12 while remaining permanently mounted on the body 1.

La tige 6 est agencée à son extrémité arrière pour s'engager autour de l'ajutage 4, comme illustré sur la figure 1.The rod 6 is arranged at its rear end to engage around the nozzle 4, as illustrated in FIG. 1.

L'ensemble des composants qui ont été décrits jusqu'à présent constitue un ensemble unitaire comme on peut le voir sur la figure 4.The set of components which have been described so far constitutes a unitary set as can be seen in FIG. 4.

Le dispositif de maquillage selon l'invention comprend un second ensemble unitaire que l'on voit également le mieux sur la figure 4 et qui comprend un capuchon 13, réalisé de préférence en un matériau bactériostatique ou comportant un revêtement intérieur en matériau bactériostatique, apte à coiffer avec un jeu faible la brosse 9 et la partie avant de la tige 6a comportant le ou les orifices 8 débouchant à la périphérie de la tige.The makeup device according to the invention comprises a second unitary assembly which is also best seen in FIG. 4 and which comprises a cap 13, preferably made of a bacteriostatic material or comprising an inner coating of bacteriostatic material, suitable for styling with weak play the brush 9 and the front part of the rod 6a comprising the orifice (s) 8 opening at the periphery of the rod.

Le capuchon 13 est solidarisé à sa partie d'extrémité ouverte évasée 13a d'un embout désigné globalement par 14 et qui, dans l'exemple illustré, comporte deux parties tubulaires 14a, 14b, encastrées l'une dans l'autre. La partie d'extrémité 14a comporte sur une portée cylindrique 15 un tronçon fileté extérieurement 16 apte à coopérer avec le tronçon fileté 10 du corps 1 pour le vissage et le dévissage du capuchon 13 muni de l'embout 14 sur le corps 1.The cap 13 is secured to its flared open end part 13a of a nozzle generally designated by 14 and which, in the example illustrated, comprises two tubular parts 14a, 14b, embedded in one another. The end part 14a comprises on a cylindrical surface 15 an externally threaded section 16 capable of cooperating with the threaded section 10 of the body 1 for screwing and unscrewing the cap 13 provided with the end piece 14 on the body 1.

La partie tubulaire 14b est agencée avec une portée tronconique 17 pour constituer, de manière en soi connue, un mécanisme essoreur-étaleur du produit se trouvant sur et autour de la tige dans le capuchon pour l'amener sur la brosse 9 lors de la séparation du capuchon d'avec le corps muni de l'applicateur constitué de la tige et de la brosse.The tubular part 14b is arranged with a frustoconical bearing 17 to constitute, in a manner known per se, a wiper-spreader mechanism of the product located on and around the rod in the cap to bring it onto the brush 9 during separation of the cap with the body provided with the applicator consisting of the rod and the brush.

La portée tronconique 17 se termine par une portée cylindrique 18 dont le diamètre intérieur correspond au diamètre de la partie avant 6a de la tige pour un contact serré dur de l'embout 14 sur la tige 6 permettant de solidariser ces éléments pendant les phases de dévissage et respectivement de vissage du capuchon 13 sur le corps 1.The frustoconical bearing 17 ends with a cylindrical bearing 18 whose internal diameter corresponds to the diameter of the front part 6a of the rod for a hard tight contact of the end piece 14 on the rod 6 allowing these elements to be secured during the unscrewing phases and respectively for screwing the cap 13 onto the body 1.

Pour obtenir une expulsion dosée du produit contenu dans le réservoir 2, on repousse le réservoir 2 vers la gauche sur le dessin, par appui sur le fond 2d; jusqu'à la position illustrée dans la figure 2. Ce déplacement provoque l'actionnement du mécanisme de pompe 3 et le déplacement du piston 5 de la position représentée en traits pleins sur la figure 2 jusqu'à la position représentée en traits interrompus sur cette figure. Le mouvement du piston provoque l'expulsion d'une quantité dosée de produit au travers de l'ajutage 4 du conduit 7, et du ou des orifices 8, jusque dans le volume délimité autour de la tige par le capuchon 13.To obtain a metered expulsion of the product contained in the tank 2, the tank 2 is pushed to the left in the drawing, by pressing on the bottom 2d; to the position illustrated in FIG. 2. This displacement causes the actuation of the pump mechanism 3 and the displacement of the piston 5 from the position shown in solid lines in FIG. 2 to the position represented in broken lines on this figure. The movement of the piston causes the expulsion of a metered amount of product through the nozzle 4 of the conduit 7, and of the orifice (s) 8, as far as the volume delimited around the rod by the cap 13.

Lorsque l'on relache l'appui sur le fond du réservoir, celui-ci revient à sa position illustrée sur la figure 1 avec, pour différence, que le piston 5 se trouve avancé vers la gauche dans une position correspondant à la position illustrée en traits interrompus sur la figure 2, du fait de la communication avec l'atmosphère de la face arrière du piston au travers de l'orifice 2d.When the support is released on the bottom of the tank, it returns to its position illustrated in FIG. 1 with the difference that the piston 5 is advanced to the left in a position corresponding to the position illustrated in broken lines in Figure 2, due to communication with the atmosphere of the rear face of the piston through the orifice 2d.

Si une plus grande quantité de produit est souhaitée, on procède à plusieurs actionnements du mécanisme de distribution dosée en appuyant à plusieurs reprises sur le fond du réservoir.If a larger quantity of product is desired, several actuations of the metered dispensing mechanism are carried out by pressing the bottom of the reservoir several times.

On procède alors à l'enlèvement du capuchon 13 par dévissage.The cap 13 is then removed by unscrewing.

Du fait du contact serré dur mentionné ci-dessus entre l'embout 14 et la tige 6, celle-ci se trouve entraînée lors du dévissage du capuchon vers la gauche du dessin entraînant le réservoir 2.Due to the above-mentioned hard tight contact between the end-piece 14 and the rod 6, the latter is driven when the cap is unscrewed to the left of the drawing driving the reservoir 2.

La figure 3 illustre une position intermédiaire au cours de ce déplacement et la figure 4 représente la position finale après séparation totale du capuchon, le dispositif se trouvant alors en position d'utilisation.FIG. 3 illustrates an intermediate position during this movement and FIG. 4 represents the final position after complete separation of the cap, the device then being in the position of use.

Comme on le voit sur la figure 4 dans cette position d'utilisation, la partie d'extrémité arrière 2b du réservoir est contenue à l'intérieur du corps 1 de telle sorte que l'on ne peut procéder dans cette position à une expulsion de produit.As can be seen in FIG. 4 in this position of use, the rear end part 2b of the reservoir is contained inside the body 1 so that it is not possible to carry out in this position an expulsion of product.

Cela est avantageux car du produit expulsé dans cette position se retrouverait sur la tige au voisinage du ou des orifices 8 et ne serait donc pas convenablement étalé sur la brosse 9.This is advantageous because of the product expelled in this position would be found on the rod in the vicinity of the orifice (s) 8 and would therefore not be properly spread over the brush 9.

Lors du revissage du capuchon 13, la tige et le réservoir sont amenés à se déplacer en sens inverse, vers la droite sur le dessin, jusqu'à la position illustrée à la figure 1.When the cap 13 is screwed on again, the rod and the reservoir are made to move in the opposite direction, to the right in the drawing, to the position illustrated in FIG. 1.

Le second mode de réalisation illustré aux figures 5 et 6, diffère essentiellement du mode de réalisation de la figure 1 par le fait que la tige 6' est réalisée d'un seul tenant avec la paroi annulaire 12' de butée prévue à l'intérieur du corps 1'.The second embodiment illustrated in Figures 5 and 6, differs essentially from the embodiment of Figure 1 in that the rod 6 'is made in one piece with the annular wall 12' of stop provided inside of the body 1 '.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, la tige 6' n'est donc pas mobile par rapport au corps lors du vissage et du dévissage du capuchon 13', muni de son embout 14', par rapport au corps.In this embodiment, the rod 6 ′ is therefore not movable relative to the body when screwing on and unscrewing the cap 13 ′, provided with its end piece 14 ′, relative to the body.

La portée cylindrique 18' de l'embout n'est plus montée à contact serré dur autour de la tige mais à faible jeu autour de celle-ci.The cylindrical surface 18 ′ of the endpiece is no longer mounted with hard tight contact around the rod but with little play around the latter.

Comme autres différences par rapport au premier mode de réalisation, on peut également noter les caractéristiques suivantes qui n'interviennent pas dans le fonctionnement :

  • le capuchon 13' présente une partie évasée 13'a, de forme cylindrique, définissant un volume annulaire plus important autour du ou des orifices 8' de la tige.
As other differences compared to the first embodiment, one can also note the following characteristics which do not intervene in the operation:
  • the cap 13 ′ has a flared part 13 ′ a, of cylindrical shape, defining a greater annular volume around the orifice (s) 8 ′ of the rod.

Le fond 2'c du réservoir 2' est constitué sous forme de pièce rapportée.The bottom 2 ′ c of the reservoir 2 ′ is constituted in the form of an attached part.

Pour l'expulsion dosée du produit, le fonctionnement du dispositif du second mode de réalisation est le même que celui du premier mode de réalisation, l'expulsion du produit étant de préférence réalisée lorsque le dispositif est dans la position assemblée de la figure 5.For the metered expulsion of the product, the operation of the device of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, the expulsion of the product preferably being carried out when the device is in the assembled position of FIG. 5.

La différence fonctionnelle essentielle par rapport au premier mode de réalisation est que, dans le second mode de réalisation, un appui sur la partie d'extrémité 2'c du réservoir est possible lorsque le dispositif est dans la position désassemblée illustrée à la figure 6, dans la mesure où dans ce cas la partie arrière 2'b du réservoir fait saillie de l'extrémité arrière du corps 1'.The essential functional difference compared to the first embodiment is that, in the second embodiment, pressing on the end portion 2 ′ c of the reservoir is possible when the device is in the disassembled position illustrated in FIG. 6, insofar as in this case the rear part 2'b of the reservoir projects from the rear end of the body 1 '.

Dans ce mode de réalisation on a illustré un capot de protection 19 qui n'a pas de caractéristiques fonctionnelles propres mais contribue à l'esthétique d'ensemble en prolongeant la paroi du corps.In this embodiment, a protective cover 19 has been illustrated which does not have its own functional characteristics but contributes to the overall aesthetic by extending the wall of the body.

Un tel capot peut bien entendu être également prévu dans le premier mode de réalisation des figures 1 à 4.Such a cover can of course also be provided in the first embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 4.
