Definitions
- the present Patent of Invention relates to an improved massage-like application device for a fluid product on the skin.
- the known devices generally consist of an enclosure containing a fluid, for instance a lotion, eau-de-Cologne or the like, and a dispensing head including layered fluid spreading means.
- a fluid for instance a lotion, eau-de-Cologne or the like
- a dispensing head including layered fluid spreading means.
- the said fluid product spreading means consist of a roller ball which on sliding upon the skin surface transfers the fluid from the head, which is kept constantly communicated with the enclosure, onto the skin, spreading it evenly.
- roller ball replaces the roller ball with a roller or cylinder turning freely about its longitudinal axis.
- the applicator's function is merely to spread the fluid product, carrying out no other action beneficial for the skin, namely, for instance, a massage action concurrently with an exfoliation of dead skin cells.
- a device has been conceived of the kind comprising a case containing a fluid, preferably a liquid product in the form of a lotion, and a head dispensing said liquid evenly onto the skin in layer-like fashion, the liquid dispensing means including second means specifically devised to provide a massage on the skin, concurrently upon the liquid being dispensed.
- the device subject hereof carries out the dispensing function of the liquid product, a lotion or the like, and exerts friction on the skin, providing a revitalising effect with a view to improving the flow and penetration of the lotion in the skin, concurrently descaling and eliminating the dead skin cells.
- the device comprises a liquid product container, which container has conventional means on its top base to be associated to a specific head, that is in turn provided with conjugated means to such end, and which includes means for dispensing the liquid contents and second means capable of carrying out a massage or friction on the skin, in the actual liquid dispensing operation.
- Figure 1 is a front elevation view of the liquid product dispensing head generating friction on the skin.
- Figure 2 is a cross-section of said head, along II-II.
- Figure 3 illustrates a cross-sectional exploded view of the elements constituting the head, base and application and friction roller, the base connected to the container of the liquid product to be dispensed.
- Figure 4 is a semi-sectional front elevation view of the entire device, comprising the liquid product case or container and the dispensing and massage-generating head.
- Figure 5 is a perspective of the device when in use.
- the embodiment therein is a massage-like application device for a fluid product on the skin consisting of a dispensing head, generally designated -1-, and a case, generally designated -2-, containing the fluid product, such as a lotion, eau-de-Cologne or the like.
- Both elements -1- and -2- have conjugated connection means, respectively comprising a cylindrical wall -3- with a screw thread -4-, and a cylindrical neck -5- projecting centrally from the top base -6- of the case-2-, externally provided with a screw thread -7-.
- Said connecting means have openings leading into the interior -8- of the case -2- and the head -1- dispensing means.
- Said dispensing means comprise a prism-shaped box, rectangular in plan and open at the top, constituted on roughly the top middle portion of the head -1-.
- At the base of this box -9- there is a circular opening -10- leading into the interior of the case -2-.
- the shorter walls -9a- of said box -9- each include circular recesses -11- provided with guides -12- for the ends -13- of a roller -15- axis -14-, the recesses -11- serving as supports for said ends -13- for the purpose of enabling the roller -15- to rotate as it slides on a surface, namely the skin.
- the longitudinal sides of the box -9- each have rectangular recessed incuts -16- which provide a greater contact surface between the roller -15- and the skin.
- a primary characteristic of the invention lies in providing on the surface of the roller -15- a plurality of evenly distributed drop- or tear-shaped embossments-17-, preferably adopting a quincuncial arrangement, which embossments exert a specific and successive friction- or massage-like pressure on the skin, dead skin cells being exfoliated concurrently upon the fluid being spread in sheet-like fashion.
