Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a nozzle for applying a product, of liquid to pasty consistency on a support, as well as to a dispenser provided with this application nozzle.
  • This dispenser is intended, in particular, for applying a cosmetic product to the skin or the mucous membranes, but it is also usable for dispensing a viscous product in other fields of technology, for example an adhesive.
  • the invention relates to the distribution and application of a composition of red or lip balm of creamy consistency or of a skin treatment cream.
  • the invention aims, in particular, the conservation of this composition in good conditions, without risk of deterioration thereof by ambient air.
  • such a dispenser comprises a reservoir for the product to be applied and a member for applying said product.
  • an applicator for liquid products comprising a cylindrical reservoir separated into two compartments by a partition, a front compartment and a rear compartment.

  • the rear compartment includes means for driving the piston, in order to cause the expulsion of the product.
  • This applicator further comprises a dispensing orifice which ends in a hollow application brush.
  • this type of brush applicator does not allow precise makeup of the lips, due to the flexibility of the bristles. brush. This results in a feeling of discomfort for the user. Furthermore, with a brush-shaped applicator, it is not possible to apply compositions having a high viscosity. In addition, when a colored make-up cream is applied to the lips using a brush, the intensity of the pigments contained in the composition is blurred and a matte and low-covering make-up is thus obtained.
  • a liquid lipstick applicator provided with a flexible tip.
  • This applicator has the following drawbacks: on the one hand, when the product to be applied is very fluid, it may run off and thus contaminate the environment, especially when the applicator is in a horizontal position or upside down , for example during transport or storage, on the other hand, when the product is sensitive to oxidation or to microbial contamination, the ambient air coming into contact with the product risks damaging the latter.
  • the Applicant has sought to avoid the drawbacks of previous distributors and to ensure, in particular, a metered distribution of a product of creamy consistency, in particular of a product for the lips.
  • the Applicant has sought, in particular to create an applicator having great application comfort with good product spreading properties, while allowing precise makeup of the lips.
  • this product can be stored in good conditions without risk of leakage and at shelter from ambient air without risking contaminating or degrading the product, in particular in the case of a product sensitive to oxidation or microbial contamination.
  • the invention relates to an application nozzle for dispensing and applying a product of liquid to pasty consistency, comprising an application surface provided with at least one dispensing orifice, characterized in that 'it includes a unidirectional closing system allowing the distribution of the product and preventing ambient air from coming into contact with the product.
  • product of liquid to pasty consistency means any composition capable of flowing under the action of a distribution means exerting a push on this product, capable of causing the expulsion of the product through the dispensing orifice.

  • this valve is located near the orifice and more particularly at the end of the supply channel.
  • the valve is part of the nozzle, the nozzle and the valve thus being made in one piece. This valve can be in elastic abutment against a seat formed by a rigid part, for example an attached part, provided with said passage for supplying the product.
  • the application surface of the end piece comprises at least one cavity or at least one groove, the orifice being located in this cavity or in this groove.
  • the cavity or the groove into which the orifice opens is extended, parallel to the application surface, by passages so as to create spreading channels for the product when it is applied to the support.
