  • the member shutter is connected to the applicator member by a rod which, in the first position, is located inside the loop portion, so that upon removal of the applicator member by a movement substantially in the axis of the neck, in pivoting from the first position to
  • This wiping member allows the excess product removed from the application member, when wiping on the edge of the loop, to flow into the tank without defile the neck.
  • the loop is not bulky and, thanks to the flexible connection means, can be accommodated in the opening of the neck without obstructing this one.
  • the arrangement of the loop allows the user to see and control the wiping operation, and therefore to dose the quantity of product in front stay on the applicator after wiping, to obtain an application precise without burrs.
  • the wiping member in the second position when the application assembly according to the invention is open (i.e. the applicator member has been removed from the tank and the wiping member is in the rest position), is located substantially in an inclined plane, so that an angle is formed between said plane and the normal of the axis of the neck, advantageously ranging from 10 ° to 60 °, and preferably from 30 ° to 50 °.
  • the elastically deformable connection can allow a spring effect to the organ wiping, then oscillates between a closed position and an open position.
  • This elastic connection also allows automatic wiping of the applicator member loaded with product during the extraction of said applicator member from the neck. he it should be noted that when the applicator member has come out of the neck with a single gesture by said substantially axial movement, the wiping of the rod and the organ application is carried out so that it is not necessary to carry out a separate wiping gesture from extraction gesture.
  • the wiping member can be a ring or a portion of Ring. This shape allows for a small wiping member and easily fit into the opening of the neck, while occupying a low space.
  • the neck is provided with an edge upper part and at least part of the wiping member is located above the upper edge of the neck.
  • the user will preferably wipe the organ of application on the highest part of the wiping member, which makes the easier and more precise wiping operation, advantageously, said part the highest being located near the longitudinal axis of the assembly.
  • This arrangement allows easy wiping under good ergonomic conditions.
  • the wiping operation is carried out without appreciable modification of the movement of extraction of the applicator member.
  • the wiping member When the application assembly is closed, that is to say when the organ application is maintained on the tank, the wiping member is then located in a plane perpendicular to the X axis.
  • the wiping member can be linked, by the connecting means elastically deformable, to holding means fixed on the neck.
  • the holding means in the form of a tube, can be produced by winding of a rigid wire.
  • the wiping member can be formed by a loop of said rigid wire, in continuity with the winding forming the tube.
  • the means for holding the wiping member may comprise, on its part upper, a rim intended to bear on the upper edge of the neck, thus ensuring good fixing of the holding means and of the wiping member in the opening of the neck.
  • the applicator member can be a brush, a foam, a feather, a plastic flocked or molded plastic.
  • the applicator member is a brush
  • this consists of a tuft of bristles, the bristles being capable of being made of any known material and in any known form of the skilled person.
