Description

La présente invention a trait à une capsule applicatrice destinée à être utilisée dans le contexte d'une application séparée et/ou combinée de deux produits qui, contiennent des actifs ou composés conditionnés séparément.The present invention relates to an applicator capsule intended to be used in the context of a separate and / or combined application of two products which, contain active ingredients or compounds packaged separately.

Ainsi, par exemple dans le cadre du maquillage, du corps ou des cheveux, il est souhaitable de pouvoir disposer d'une base de maquillage sous forme d'une crème, d'un gel ou d'un lait, et que l'utilisatrice peut associer avec un produit séparé, notamment sous forme d'une poudre compactée ou libre, et comportant des charges ou pigments colorés, ledit produit séparé pouvant être choisi parmi une pluralité de poudres contenant des pigments de différentes couleurs, de manière à pouvoir choisir la couleur et/ou l'aspect de son maquillage.So, for example in the context of makeup, body or hair, it is desirable to have a makeup base in the form of a cream, gel or milk, which the user can associate with a product separated, in particular in the form of a compacted or loose powder, and comprising colored fillers or pigments, said separate product being able to be chosen from a plurality of powders containing pigments of different colors, so that you can choose the color and / or appearance of your makeup.

De même, dans le domaine de la protection solaire, il peut être souhaitable de pouvoir disposer d'une base hydratante ou apaisante, sous forme d'un lait ou d'une crème, et que l'utilisatrice peut associer avec un produit séparé, sous forme notamment d'une poudre ou crème, contenant un filtre de protection contre les rayonnements UV, et pouvant être choisi parmi une pluralité de poudres contenant des filtres à indices de protection différents, de manière à pouvoir adapter la protection de sa peau à ses besoins. Ainsi, pour les premiers jours d'exposition au soleil, il est souhaitable d'utiliser un produit à fort indice de protection, puis, au fil des jours, il est possible d'utiliser des produits à indice de protection plus faible.Likewise, in the field of sun protection, it may be desirable to be able to have a moisturizing or soothing base, in the form of a milk or a cream, which the user can combine with a separate product, in the form in particular of a powder or cream, containing a filter for protection against UV radiation, and which can be chosen from a plurality of powders containing filters with different degrees of protection, so that adapt the protection of your skin to your needs. So for the first few days exposure to the sun, it is desirable to use a product with a high index of protection, then, over the days, it is possible to use products with an index of weaker protection.

Aussi, est-ce un des objets de l'invention que de fournir une capsule applicatrice formant une unité d'application d'un produit spécifique, apte à être utilisée en combinaison avec un récipient auxiliaire contenant un produit à action complémentaire de l'action du produit spécifique contenu dans la capsule applicatrice. Also, is it an object of the invention to provide an applicator capsule forming a unit for applying a specific product, suitable for use in combination with an auxiliary container containing an action product complementary to the action of the specific product contained in the capsule applicator.

C'est un autre objet de l'invention que de fournir une unité d'application autonome contenant un produit spécifique, un organe d'application, et un organe de montage sur un récipient contenant le produit à utiliser en combinaison avec ledit produit spécifique.It is another object of the invention to provide an autonomous application unit containing a specific product, an applicator, and a mounting on a container containing the product to be used in combination with said specific product.

D'autres objets encore apparaítront dans la description détaillée qui suit.Still other objects will appear in the detailed description which follows.

Selon l'invention, ces objets sont atteints en réalisant une capsule applicatrice, comportant un support, présentant des moyens aptes à permettre la fixation de la capsule de manière amovible sur un récipient, contenant un premier produit, un organe d'application, notamment sous forme d'un élément compressible élastiquement, étant monté sur le support et étant apte à acheminer ledit premier produit, depuis un orifice, ménagé dans le support, jusqu'à une face d'application dudit organe d'application, ledit organe d'application étant recouvert de façon amovible par un capuchon monté sur le support, et dans le fond duquel est disposé un second produit, notamment sous forme d'un pain solide ou d'une poudre, ladite surface d'application étant apte, en position montée du capuchon, à être mise en appui élastique sur ledit second produit.According to the invention, these objects are achieved by producing an applicator capsule, comprising a support, having means capable of allowing the fixing of the capsule removably on a container, containing a first product, a applicator member, in particular in the form of a compressible element elastically, being mounted on the support and being able to convey said first product from an orifice in the support to an application face of said applicator member, said applicator member being so covered removable by a cap mounted on the support, and in the bottom of which is placed a second product, in particular in the form of a solid bread or a powder, said application surface being suitable, in the mounted position of the cap, for be placed in elastic support on said second product.

On réalise ainsi par exemple, une unité qui contient un produit spécifique, notamment délitable, et qui peut être montée sur un récipient contenant un produit apte à favoriser le délitage du produit spécifique, les deux produits étant maintenus séparés l'un de l'autre, et étant, en vue d'une application combinée, amenés de façon dosée sur la face d'application de l'organe d'application. Le produit contenu dans le capuchon ne vient pas souiller le produit contenu dans le récipient. Un organe d'application d'une capsule donnée n'est jamais mis en contact avec un second produit autre que celui contenu dans la capsule auquel il est dédié. De préférence, le produit contenu dans le récipient est destiné à être distribué sous pression, notamment au moyen d'une pompe, d'un piston, ou d'un gaz propulseur. We thus realize for example, a unit which contains a specific product, especially disintegrable, and which can be mounted on a container containing a product suitable for promoting disintegration of the specific product, the two products being kept separate from each other, and being, for a combined application, brought in metered manner on the application face of the application member. The product contained in the cap does not contaminate the product contained in the container. An applicator of a given capsule is never used contact with a second product other than that contained in the capsule to which it is dedicated. Preferably, the product contained in the container is intended to be distributed under pressure, in particular by means of a pump, a piston, or a propellant gas.

La face d'application de l'organe d'application est, au moins avant utilisation, contrainte élastiquement en appui contre la surface libre du produit contenu dans le capuchon, ce qui, avec certains produits, est suffisant pour assurer un bon chargement de ladite face d'application avec ledit produit. Toutefois, le chargement de la face d'application avec le second produit peut être favorisé en entraínant en rotation la face d'application en appui contre ladite surface libre du produit contenu dans le capuchon.The application face of the application member is, at least before use, elastically constrained in abutment against the free surface of the product contained in the cap, which with some products is sufficient to ensure good loading of said application face with said product. However, the loading the application side with the second product can be favored by causing the application face to rotate in abutment against said free surface of the product contained in the cap.

Le produit peut être coulé, à chaud ou à froid, ou compacté, directement dans le fond du capuchon, ou dans une cupule montée dans ledit fond. Des moyens, notamment sous forme d'ailettes ou autres moyens d'accrochage, peuvent être prévus pour, dans l'hypothèse où le produit est coulé dans le capuchon, permettre au produit, lorsqu'il se solidifie, de s'accrocher dans le fond du capuchon.The product can be poured, hot or cold, or compacted, directly in the bottom of the cap, or in a cup mounted in said bottom. Means, in particular in the form of fins or other means of attachment, can be provided for, in the event that the product is poured into the cap, allow the product, when it solidifies, to catch on the bottom of the cap.

Dans le cas d'un produit sous forme d'une poudre libre ou d'une crème, des moyens, notamment sous forme d'une grille ou d'une trame ajourée, peuvent être prévus pour maintenir ledit second produit dans le fond dudit capuchon.In the case of a product in the form of a loose powder or a cream, means, in particular in the form of a grid or an openwork frame, can be designed to hold said second product in the bottom of said cap.

Le second produit (P2) peut être séparé du fond du capuchon (11) par un organe élastiquement déformable, notamment un bloc de mousse ou un ressort. Un tel organe permet au moins de participer la mise en appui élastique de la surface d'application sur le second produit, en particulier, lorsque l'organe d'application est réalisé en un matériau faiblement , voire pas du tout, compressible élastiquement. Dans le cas où l'élément intermédiaire est une mousse, en particulier à cellules ouvertes, celle ci permet l'ancrage du produit dans le fond du capuchon, lorsque le produit est coulé sous forme liquide.The second product (P2) can be separated from the bottom of the cap (11) by a member elastically deformable, in particular a block of foam or a spring. Such organ allows at least to participate the elastic bearing of the surface of application on the second product, in particular, when the applicator member is made of a material which is weakly, if not at all, elastically compressible. In the case where the intermediate element is a foam, in particular with cells open, this allows the product to be anchored in the bottom of the cap, when the product is poured in liquid form.

Le fond du capuchon peut être mobile axialement, notamment par déformation élastique. Cette caractéristique permet de pouvoir recharger l'applicateur avec le second produit sans avoir à complètement remonter le capuchon sur le support, notamment dans le cas où le capuchon est vissé sur le support. La mobilité du fond peut résulter d'une déformation élastique dudit fond, notamment lorsque celui-ci est configuré sous forme d'une membrane en matériau élastiquement déformable. Alternativement, une telle mobilité peut résulter d'un simple montage à coulisse du fond, celui-ci étant contraint en position haute, sous l'effet de la compression élastique de l'organe d'application lorsque le capuchon est monté sur son support. Le capuchon pourra éventuellement être monté de façon étanche sur le support de la capsule.The bottom of the cap can be moved axially, in particular by deformation elastic. This feature allows you to recharge the applicator with the second product without having to completely reassemble the cap on the support, especially in the case where the cap is screwed onto the support. The mobility of bottom may result from elastic deformation of said bottom, especially when this is configured in the form of a membrane of elastically material deformable. Alternatively, such mobility can result from a simple assembly sliding the bottom, the latter being constrained in the high position, under the effect of the elastic compression of the applicator member when the cap is mounted on its support. The cap can optionally be mounted in a leaktight manner on the capsule holder.

Avantageusement, ledit organe d'application est constitué d'un bloc d'un matériau poreux, apte à absorber ledit premier produit et à l'acheminer depuis ledit orifice jusqu'à ladite face d'application. Il peut notamment être constitué d'une mousse à cellules ouvertes ou semi ouvertes, ou d'un feutre. La face d'application de l'organe d'application peut être recouverte d'un flocage. Dans le cas d'un tel produit absorbant, notamment dans le cas d'un feutre ou d'une mousse à cellules ouvertes ou semi ouvertes, l'organe d'application comprend une pluralité de passages "naturels" formés entre les fibres, ou par les pores du matériau, lesquels communiquent entre eux. De tels passages naturels sont particulièrement adaptés lorsque le produit contenu dans le récipient est liquide. Dans le cas d'un produit plus visqueux, ou dans le cas d'un matériau non poreux, on peut réaliser au moins un passage "artificiel" sous forme d'un ou plusieurs canaux s'étendant, notamment axialement, depuis le support jusqu'à la face d'application, de manière à transporter le produit contenu dans le récipient jusqu'à la face d'application.Advantageously, said applicator member consists of a block of material porous, capable of absorbing said first product and conveying it from said orifice up to said application face. It can in particular consist of a foam open or semi-open cells, or a felt. The application side of the applicator member may be covered with a flocking. In the case of such absorbent product, especially in the case of a felt or cell foam open or semi open, the applicator member comprises a plurality of "natural" passages formed between the fibers, or through the pores of the material, which communicate with each other. Such natural passages are particularly suitable when the product contained in the container is liquid. In the case of a more viscous product, or in the case of a non-porous material, at least one "artificial" passage can be made in the form of one or more channels extending, in particular axially, from the support to the face application, so as to transport the product contained in the container to the application side.

L'organe d'application peut être constitué d'un élément compressible élastiquement, notamment sous forme d'un soufflet, et sur lequel est monté une surface d'application, notamment sous forme d'une mousse, d'un tissé ou d'un non tissé, laquelle surface peut éventuellement être floquée ou non. La surface d'application peut être relativement lisse ou présenter des reliefs aptes à avoir une action de massage lorsqu'ils sont appliqués sur la peau.The applicator member may consist of a compressible element elastically, in particular in the form of a bellows, and on which a application surface, in particular in the form of a foam, a woven or a nonwoven, which surface may or may not be flocked. The surface application may be relatively smooth or have reliefs capable of having a massage action when applied to the skin.

De préférence, au voisinage dudit orifice, des moyens d'ouverture/fermeture, de type à clapet ou à valve, sont prévus pour, sélectivement, dégager, respectivement, obturer ledit orifice, apte à être mis en communication avec le récipient contenant le premier produit. Ainsi, on évite que du liquide contenu dans l'organe d'application (formé notamment d'un mélange du premier et du second produit) ne puisse redescendre, via ledit orifice, dans le récipient contenant le premier produit. En outre, la capsule applicatrice, notamment lorsque l'organe d'application est constitué d'un matériau absorbant, peut contenir une quantité suffisante dudit premier produit, pour constituer une unité d'application autonome, qui peut être utilisée de manière indépendante du récipient contenant le premier produit, tout au long de la journée.Preferably, in the vicinity of said orifice, opening / closing means, valve or valve type, are designed to selectively release, respectively, seal said orifice, capable of being placed in communication with the container containing the first product. This avoids that the liquid contained in the applicator member (formed in particular of a mixture of the first and the second product) cannot descend, via the said orifice, into the container containing the first product. In addition, the applicator capsule, especially when the organ application material consists of an absorbent material, may contain a quantity sufficient of said first product, to constitute an autonomous application unit, which can be used independently of the container containing the first product, all day long.

Selon un mode de réalisation spécifique, lesdits moyens d'ouverture/fermeture sont montés de manière à dégager ledit orifice en réponse à une pression suffisante exercée sur ladite face d'application, des moyens de rappel élastique étant prévus, pour, en l'absence de pression suffisante sur ladite face d'application, contraindre les moyens d'ouverture/fermeture en position fermée. Ainsi, le transport du premier produit sur la face d'application, en vue d'y être mélangé avec le second produit, ne se fait qu'en position d'application, lorsque la face d'application est mise en appui sur la surface à traiter. Ainsi, on améliore encore la séparation entre le premier produit contenu dans le récipient, et le second produit contenu dans la capsule.According to a specific embodiment, said opening / closing means are mounted so as to release said orifice in response to pressure sufficient exerted on said application face, elastic return means being provided, for, in the absence of sufficient pressure on said face application, constrain the opening / closing means in the closed position. Thus, the transport of the first product on the application face, in order to be there mixed with the second product, is only done in the application position, when the application side is supported on the surface to be treated. So we improve still the separation between the first product contained in the container, and the second product contained in the capsule.

Alternativement, lesdits moyens d'ouverture/fermeture sont montés de manière à dégager ledit orifice en réponse à une pression suffisante exercée du côté du support opposé à l'organe d'application, lesdits moyens d'ouverture/fermeture étant rappelés en position de fermeture lorsque cesse ladite pression. Une telle pression peut être exercée sur les parois souples ou déformables du récipient, ou sur un fond formant piston, et sur lequel l'utilisatrice peut appuyer pour provoquer la sortie d'une dose dudit premier produit.Alternatively, said opening / closing means are mounted so as to release said orifice in response to sufficient pressure exerted on the side of the support opposite the applicator member, said opening / closing means being recalled to the closed position when said pressure ceases. Such a pressure can be exerted on the flexible or deformable walls of the container, or on a bottom forming a piston, and on which the user can press to cause the output of a dose of said first product.

Lesdits moyens de fixation de la capsule au récipient peuvent être notamment du type à encliquetage, vissage, ou montage auto-serrant, notamment sur une tige de pompe ou de valve. Said means for fixing the capsule to the container may in particular be snap-on, screwing, or self-tightening type, especially on a rod pump or valve.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, on réalise également un ensemble d'application combinée, notamment sur la peau, d'un premier et d'un second produit, ledit ensemble d'application comportant un récipient contenant un premier produit, et apte à en permettre la distribution sous pression, et au moins une capsule selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes, chacune des capsules contenant un second produit.According to another aspect of the invention, an assembly is also produced of combined application, in particular on the skin, of a first and a second product, said application set comprising a container containing a first product, and capable of allowing distribution under pressure, and at least one capsule according to any one of the preceding claims, each of capsules containing a second product.

Le récipient peut être sous forme notamment d'un récipient surmonté d'une pompe, notamment sans reprise d'air, ou d'une valve, d'un tube ou d'un flacon à parois déformables, ou d'un flacon à fond formant piston.The container may in particular be in the form of a container surmounted by a pump, in particular without return air, or a valve, a tube or a vial deformable walls, or a bottle with a bottom forming a piston.

A titre d'exemple avantageux, le second produit est un produit de maquillage, chacune des capsules contenant un second produit différent, et notamment, de couleur et/ou d'aspect différents.As an advantageous example, the second product is a makeup product, each of the capsules containing a second different product, and in particular of different color and / or appearance.

A titre d'exemple encore, le second produit est un produit de protection contre les rayonnements UV, chacune des capsules contenant un second produit à indice de protection différent.As another example, the second product is a product for protection against UV radiation, each of the capsules containing a second index product different protection.

Selon une autre alternative, chacune des capsules comprend un organe d'application différent, permettant notamment des caractéristiques d'application différentes. On peut à cet effet, utiliser, notamment en fonction de la surface à traiter, des mousses ayant des duretés, ou capacités d'absorption différentes.According to another alternative, each of the capsules comprises an organ application, allowing in particular application characteristics different. For this purpose, it is possible to use, in particular depending on the surface to be treat, foams having different hardnesses, or absorption capacities.

Le premier produit peut être sous forme d'un liquide, d'une crème, ou d'un gel.The first product can be in the form of a liquid, a cream, or a gel.

L'invention consiste, mises à part les dispositions exposées ci-dessus, en un certain nombre d'autres dispositions qui seront explicitées ci-après, à propos d'exemples de réalisation non limitatifs, décrits en référence aux figures annexées, parmi lesquelles :

  • les figures 1A-1F illustrent de façon schématique six modes de réalisation de la capsule applicatrice selon l'invention; et
  • les figures 2A-2C illustrent trois modes de réalisation d'un ensemble d'application monté selon la présente invention.
The invention consists, apart from the arrangements set out above, of a certain number of other arrangements which will be explained below, with reference to nonlimiting exemplary embodiments, described with reference to the appended figures, among which:
  • Figures 1A-1F schematically illustrate six embodiments of the applicator capsule according to the invention; and
  • Figures 2A-2C illustrate three embodiments of an application assembly mounted according to the present invention.

La capsule applicatrice 1 représentée dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 1A, comprend un support 2, en un matériau thermoplastique, tel qu'un polypropylène ou polyéthylène. Le support 2 comporte une jupe latérale cylindrique 3 d'axe X, dont la surface interne est pourvue d'un filetage 4 apte à coopérer avec un filetage correspondant prévu sur un récipient sur lequel la capsule 1 est destinée à être montée. La jupe latérale 3 a l'une de ses extrémités fermée par une paroi transversale 5, percée en son centre d'un orifice 6. Du côté de la paroi tournée vers la. jupe cylindrique 3, l'orifice 6 est bordé d'une collerette 7 présentant un profil tronconique, et qui, comme on le verra par la suite, réalise une jupe destinée à former étanchéité lorsque la capsule 1 est montée sur un récipient.The applicator capsule 1 shown in the embodiment of FIG. 1A, comprises a support 2, made of a thermoplastic material, such as polypropylene or polyethylene. The support 2 comprises a cylindrical side skirt 3 of axis X, the internal surface of which is provided with a thread 4 capable of cooperating with a thread correspondent provided on a container on which the capsule 1 is intended to be climb. The side skirt 3 has one of its ends closed by a wall transverse 5, pierced in its center with an orifice 6. On the side of the turned wall around the. cylindrical skirt 3, the orifice 6 is bordered by a collar 7 having a tapered profile, and which, as will be seen later, makes a skirt intended to form a seal when the capsule 1 is mounted on a container.

Du côté opposé à la jupe latérale cylindrique 3, la paroi transversale 5 porte une jupe 8 dont la surface extérieure forme une nervure 9 apte à coopérer par claquage avec une gorge 10 formée sur la surface interne d'un capuchon 11, de manière à permettre le montage réversible du capuchon 11 sur le support 2. Selon une variante, le capuchon 11 pourrait être vissé sur la jupe 8. Sur la paroi transversale 5, du côté opposé à la jupe 3, est monté un organe d'application 20, sous forme d'un bloc de mousse à cellules ouvertes, notamment en polyuréthanne, polyester, polyéther, NBR, SBR, PVC, ou PVA. Le bloc de mousse 20 est monté par collage, encliquetage ou par soudure sur le support 2. Une face 21 de l'organe d'application 20, opposée au support 2, forme une face d'application. Le bloc de mousse 20, est percé en son centre d'un canal axial 24 débouchant d'une part sur l'orifice 6 du support 2 et, d'autre part sur la face d'application 21. L'organe d'application 20 peut être formé d'un empilement de plusieurs blocs de mousse, ayant notamment des caractéristiques de dureté différentes, en fonction des caractéristiques d'application recherchées. De même l'organe d'application peut être formé de plusieurs anneaux de mousse concentriques, des passages artificiels, pour le produit à acheminer sur la surface d'application 21, pouvant être aménagés à l'interface annulaire entre les blocs de mousse. Le bloc de mousse 20, et notamment la face d'application 21, peut être recouvert d'un flocage (non représenté).On the side opposite to the cylindrical side skirt 3, the transverse wall 5 carries a skirt 8 whose outer surface forms a rib 9 able to cooperate by snap with a groove 10 formed on the internal surface of a cap 11, of so as to allow the reversible mounting of the cap 11 on the support 2. According to a variant, the cap 11 could be screwed onto the skirt 8. On the wall transverse 5, on the side opposite the skirt 3, an applicator member 20 is mounted, in the form of a block of open-cell foam, in particular in polyurethane, polyester, polyether, NBR, SBR, PVC, or PVA. The foam block 20 is mounted by gluing, snapping or welding on the support 2. One side 21 of the applicator member 20, opposite the support 2, forms a face of application. The foam block 20 is pierced in its center with an axial channel 24 opening on the one hand on the orifice 6 of the support 2 and, on the other hand on the face applicator 21. The applicator member 20 may be formed of a stack of several foam blocks, having in particular hardness characteristics different, depending on the desired application characteristics. Likewise the applicator member may be formed from several rings of foam concentric, artificial passages, for the product to be conveyed on the surface 21, which can be fitted at the annular interface between the blocks of foam. The foam block 20, and in particular the application face 21, can be covered with a flocking (not shown).

Dans le fond du capuchon 11, est disposée une poudre libre P2, notamment une poudre de maquillage comportant des pigments d'une couleur donnée, laquelle poudre est maintenue dans le fond via un tamis ou une grille 23. La grille 23 peut être maintenue par claquage dans le capuchon, notamment en appui sur un épaulement. En position montée du capuchon 11 sur le support 2, la mousse 20 est comprimée, de sorte que la face d'application 21 soit en appui élastique contre la grille 23. Dans cette position montée du capuchon, la face d'application 21 se charge naturellement en poudre, notamment par capillarité, via les trous de la grille 23. La quantité de poudre transférée sur la face d'application 21 peut encore être améliorée en faisant tourner le capuchon 11 par rapport au support 2.At the bottom of the cap 11, there is a loose powder P2, in particular a makeup powder comprising pigments of a given color, which powder is held in the bottom via a sieve or a grid 23. The grid 23 can be held by snapping into the cap, in particular by pressing on a shoulder. In the mounted position of the cap 11 on the support 2, the foam 20 is compressed, so that the application face 21 is in elastic abutment against the grid 23. In this mounted position of the cap, the application face 21 is naturally filler in powder, in particular by capillarity, via the holes in the grid 23. The quantity of powder transferred to the application face 21 can still be improved by rotating the cap 11 relative to the support 2.

Une telle capsule peut, ainsi que représentée à la figure 2B, être vissée sur un flacon 101, constitué d'un corps 102 de faible hauteur, et dont une extrémité forme un col pourvu d'un filetage 103. Le col se termine par une paroi transversale 104, percée d'un orifice 105, de profil adapté pour recevoir la jupe d'étanchéité tronconique 7 de la capsule 1. A l'intérieur du corps 102, est disposé un fond mobile formant piston 106, et apte à coulisser de façon étanche en appui contre les parois intérieures du corps 102. Le piston 106 délimite avec le corps 102, un volume variable contenant un produit P1 sous forme d'une crème, notamment une base de maquillage incolore. Ainsi montée, la capsule 1 forme avec le flacon 101, un ensemble d'application 100 dont le fonctionnement va maintenant être discuté. Un tel ensemble 100 peut comprendre en outre une pluralité de capsules 1, identiques à la capsule discutée en référence à la figure 1A, et contenant chacune une poudre P2 d'une couleur différente.Such a capsule can, as shown in FIG. 2B, be screwed onto a bottle 101, consisting of a body 102 of low height, and one end of which forms a neck provided with a thread 103. The neck ends in a wall transverse 104, pierced with an orifice 105, of profile adapted to receive the skirt frustoconical sealing 7 of the capsule 1. Inside the body 102, is disposed a movable bottom forming a piston 106, and capable of sliding in sealed manner in support against the interior walls of the body 102. The piston 106 delimits with the body 102, a variable volume containing a product P1 in the form of a cream, including a colorless makeup base. Thus mounted, the capsule 1 forms with the bottle 101, an application set 100 whose operation will now be discussed. Such an assembly 100 may further comprise a plurality of capsules 1, identical to the capsule discussed with reference to the figure 1A, and each containing a powder P2 of a different color.

L'utilisatrice choisit en premier lieu la capsule 1 contenant la poudre de la couleur qu'elle désire. Elle monte la capsule sur le flacon 101. Préalablement à l'ouverture du capuchon 11, ou postérieurement à cette ouverture, l'utilisatrice appuie sur le piston 106 de manière à faire monter une certaine quantité de crème P1 dans le canal axial 24 de l'organe d'application 20, lequel est ainsi chargé à la fois en crème P1, notamment à l'intérieur du canal 24, et en poudre colorée P2 sur la face d'application 21. Avec le mode de réalisation de la capsule selon la figure 1A, il est à noter que, en fonction de la viscosité du produit P1, et de la compression de la mousse formant l'organe d'application 20, la montée du produit P1 dans le canal 24, peut résulter de la simple dépression provoquée par l'expansion de la mousse de l'organe d'application 20, à l'ouverture du capuchon 11.The user first chooses the capsule 1 containing the powder of the color she wants. She mounts the capsule on the bottle 101. Before opening of the cap 11, or after this opening, the user presses the piston 106 so as to raise a certain quantity of cream P1 in the axial channel 24 of the applicator member 20, which is thus loaded both with cream P1, in particular inside the channel 24, and colored powder P2 on the application face 21. With the embodiment of the capsule according to FIG. 1A, it should be noted that, as a function of the viscosity of the product P1, and of the compression of the foam forming the applicator member 20, the rise of the product P1 in the channel 24, can result from the simple depression caused by the expansion of the foam of the applicator member 20, at the opening of the cap 11.

L'utilisatrice applique alors la face d'application 21 sur la surface à traiter, notamment le visage, et la déplace en appui léger sur la peau, notamment, par des petits mouvements circulaires. L'estompage réalisé par l'organe d'application 20 provoque le mélange homogène de la poudre et de la crème, à l'interface entre la face d'application 21 et la peau. Le cas échéant, l'utilisatrice peut rajouter de la crème P1 au mélange, en appuyant à nouveau sur le piston 106. De la même manière, elle peut également enrichir le mélange en poudre colorée, en remettant la face d'application 21 en contact avec la grille 23. Après application, elle remonte le capuchon 11 sur le support 2.The user then applies the application face 21 to the surface to be treated, especially the face, and moves it lightly against the skin, in particular, by small circular movements. The blurring performed by the application body 20 causes the powder and cream to mix homogeneously, at the interface between the application face 21 and the skin. If necessary, the user can add more cream P1 to the mixture, by pressing the piston 106 again. Similarly way, it can also enrich the colored powder mixture, by handing the application face 21 in contact with the grid 23. After application, it remount the cap 11 on the support 2.

Pour maquiller une autre partie du corps ou du visage en une autre couleur, elle dévisse la capsule 1 du flacon 101, et remonte sur le récipient 101, une capsule 1 contenant une poudre P2 ayant la couleur désirée. Elle procède à nouveau de la manière indiquée précédemment. Ainsi, la face d'application 21 d'un organe d'application donné 20 est en contact avec une seule poudre d'une seule couleur, ce qui permet d'éviter d'avoir à nettoyer l'organe d'application entre deux applications de deux couleurs différentes. La crème P1 à l'intérieur du récipient 101 n'est jamais souillée par la poudre P2 contenue dans le fond des capsules applicatrice 1.To make up another part of the body or face in another color, it unscrews the capsule 1 from the bottle 101, and goes back to the container 101, a capsule 1 containing a powder P2 having the desired color. She proceeds again from the as previously indicated. Thus, the application face 21 of a member application given 20 is in contact with a single powder of a single color, which avoids having to clean the applicator member between two applications of two different colors. P1 cream inside the container 101 is never soiled by the powder P2 contained in the bottom of the capsules applicator 1.

Le mode de réalisation de la figure 1B se distingue du mode de réalisation de la figure 1A en ce que :

  • le produit P2, est sous forme d'un pain solide, obtenu par coulage à chaud ou à froid, dans le fond du capuchon 11, d'une composition liquide, notamment à base de plâtre, et qui va se solidifier en refroidissant. Des moyens d'accrochage (non représentés) assurent l'ancrage du produit P2 dans le fond du capuchon 11. Ainsi, la face d'application 21 de l'organe d'application 20 est directement en appui élastique sur la surface libre du produit P2.
  • l'organe d'application 20 est constitué d'un bloc de mousse à cellules ouvertes, ne présentant pas un canal axial du type de celui 24 présent dans le bloc de mousse du mode de réalisation précédent. La porosité du matériau est suffisante pour assurer le transport d'un liquide depuis l'orifice 6 jusqu'à la face d'application 21.
  • la paroi transversale 5 du support 2 forme du côté opposé à l'organe d'application 20, un manchon 30 apte à permettre un montage auto serrant sur la tige émergeante 31 d'une valve 32 équipant un récipient pressurisé 33, contenant une composition liquide P1 apte à permettre le délitage du produit P2. La composition P1 remonte sur la surface d'application via les pores du bloc de mousse à cellules ouvertes formant l'organe d'application 20.
The embodiment of FIG. 1B differs from the embodiment of FIG. 1A in that:
  • the product P2, is in the form of a solid bread, obtained by hot or cold casting, in the bottom of the cap 11, of a liquid composition, in particular based on plaster, and which will solidify on cooling. Attachment means (not shown) anchor the product P2 in the bottom of the cap 11. Thus, the application face 21 of the application member 20 is directly in elastic support on the free surface of the product P2.
  • the applicator member 20 consists of a block of open-cell foam, not having an axial channel of the type of that present in the block of foam of the previous embodiment. The porosity of the material is sufficient to ensure the transport of a liquid from the orifice 6 to the application face 21.
  • the transverse wall 5 of the support 2 forms on the side opposite to the application member 20, a sleeve 30 capable of allowing self-tightening mounting on the emerging rod 31 of a valve 32 fitted to a pressurized container 33, containing a liquid composition P1 able to allow disintegration of product P2. Composition P1 rises to the application surface via the pores of the block of open-cell foam forming the application member 20.

A l'utilisation, la capsule applicatrice 1 est montée sur la tige de valve d'un récipient pressurisé 33, via le manchon auto serrant 30. L'extrémité libre de la jupe latérale 3 du support 2 est à distance du récipient 33 de manière à pouvoir permettre l'actionnement de la valve 32, en réponse à une force d'appui axiale exercée sur le capuchon 11, lequel actionnement provoque la sortie d'une dose du liquide P1 contenu dans le récipient pressurisé. Le produit P1 remonte dans l'organe d'application via les pores de l'organe d'application 20, et ce jusqu'à la face d'application 21, laquelle est en appui élastique sur la surface libre du produit P2. Le produit P2 se délite en surface et est transféré sur la face d'application 21 de l'organe 20. Après ouverture du capuchon 11, la face d'application 20 est déplacée sur la peau de manière à appliquer le produit qu'elle porte en surface. Le récipient pressurisé est utilisé à la manière d'un manche pour l'organe d'application 20. In use, the applicator capsule 1 is mounted on the valve stem of a pressurized container 33, via the self-tightening sleeve 30. The free end of the side skirt 3 of the support 2 is at a distance from the container 33 so as to be able allow the actuation of the valve 32, in response to an axial pressing force exerted on the cap 11, which actuation causes the output of a dose liquid P1 contained in the pressurized container. Product P1 goes back in the applicator member via the pores of the applicator member 20, until the application face 21, which is in elastic support on the free surface of the product P2. Product P2 disintegrates on the surface and is transferred to the application face 21 of the member 20. After opening the cap 11, the application face 20 is displaced on the skin so as to apply the product which it carries on the surface. The pressurized container is used in the manner of a handle for the organ of application 20.

Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 1C, le support 2 porte sur sa face opposée à l'organe d'application 20 une jupe latérale extérieure 3, formant habillage extérieur, et une jupe interne 40 dont la surface intérieure comporte un filetage 41, apte à coopérer avec un filetage ménagé sur la col d'un tube à parois souples. L'organe d'application 20 est constitué d'un bloc d'un matériau élastomérique mou, percé en son centre d'un canal axial 24 identique à celui du mode de réalisation de la figure 1A. A titre d'exemples de matériaux pouvant être utilisés pour former l'organe d'application, on peut citer les élastomères de silicone, de nitrile, de butyle, de latex, de polyéthylène de polypropylène, ou de polyuréthanne. Le produit P2 contenu dans le capuchon 11 est du même type que celui du mode de réalisation de la figure 1B, et est constitué d'une poudre compactée contenant des pigments colorés.In the embodiment of FIG. 1C, the support 2 bears on its face opposite the applicator member 20 an outer side skirt 3, forming external covering, and an internal skirt 40, the internal surface of which includes a thread 41, able to cooperate with a thread formed on the neck of a tube with walls flexible. The applicator member 20 consists of a block of material soft elastomer, pierced in its center with an axial channel 24 identical to that of embodiment of FIG. 1A. As examples of materials that can be used to form the applicator member, mention may be made of the elastomers of silicone, nitrile, butyl, latex, polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyurethane. The product P2 contained in the cap 11 is of the same type as that of the embodiment of FIG. 1B, and consists of a powder compacted containing colored pigments.

La capsule applicatrice 1 selon ce mode de réalisation est représentée, à la figure 2A, dans sa position montée sur ensemble d'application 100 formé d'un tube à parois souples 111, contenant en particulier un lait cosmétique. De préférence, le capuchon 11 est de couleur transparente, de manière à ce que l'utilisatrice puisse voir depuis l'extérieur, la couleur du produit P2 contenu dans la capsule applicatrice 1. Le tube peut être réalisé en polypropylène ou polyéthylène. Le lait contenu dans le tube sert de base de maquillage et facilite également le délitage de la poudre compactée contenue dans le capuchon 11 de la capsule applicatrice.The applicator capsule 1 according to this embodiment is shown in the figure 2A, in its position mounted on application assembly 100 formed of a tube flexible walls 111, containing in particular a cosmetic milk. Preferably, the cap 11 is transparent in color, so that the user can see from the outside, the color of the product P2 contained in the capsule applicator 1. The tube can be made of polypropylene or polyethylene. Milk contained in the tube serves as a makeup base and also facilitates disintegration compacted powder contained in the cap 11 of the applicator capsule.

L'orifice 6 du support 2 est obturé sélectivement par un clapet 42, apte à s'écarter du bord de la paroi transversale 5 délimitant l'orifice 6, sous la pression du produit P1 contenu dans le tube 111, en réponse à une force exercée par l'utilisatrice sur les parois du tube 111, et à revenir en appui sur le siège rigide formé par ledit bord lorsque cesse la pression du produit P1. L'élasticité de l'organe d'application, en combinaison avec la dépression régnant à l'intérieur du tube, favorise le retour en appui sur son siège, du clapet 42 lorsque cesse la pression du produit P1. La présence du clapet 42 est particulièrement avantageuse en ce qu'elle permet à l'utilisatrice, après avoir chargé l'applicateur de produit P1, de démonter la capsule applicatrice, et de la mettre dans son sac à main pour l'utiliser de façon autonome tout au long de la journée, le clapet 42 empêchant tout écoulement de produit via l'orifice 6.The orifice 6 of the support 2 is selectively closed by a valve 42, able to move away from the edge of the transverse wall 5 delimiting the orifice 6, under the pressure of the product P1 contained in the tube 111, in response to a force exerted by the user on the walls of the tube 111, and to come to rest on the rigid seat formed by said edge when product pressure P1 ceases. The elasticity of the application member, in combination with the vacuum prevailing inside the tube, promotes the return resting on its seat, the valve 42 when the pressure of the product P1 ceases. The presence of the valve 42 is particularly advantageous in that it allows the user, after having loaded the product applicator P1, to dismantle the capsule applicator, and put it in his handbag to use it independently throughout the day, the valve 42 preventing any flow of product via orifice 6.

Le mode de réalisation de la figure 1D diffère de la capsule applicatrice de la figure 1A en ce que le produit P1, avec lequel elle est destinée à être utilisée en combinaison, est sous forme liquide, et est acheminé depuis l'orifice 6 jusqu'à la face d'application 21, via les pores de la mousse à cellules ouvertes formant l'organe d'application 20. L'orifice 6 formé dans la paroi transversale 5 du support 2 est obturé par une valve 50 de forme tronconique, et apte à venir sélectivement en appui étanche sur un siège de forme tronconique formé par le bord de la paroi transversale 5, délimitant l'orifice 6. La valve 50 est contrainte en position fermée par un ressort 51 disposé du côté du support, opposé à l'organe d'application 20. Du côté de l'organe d'application 20, la valve 50 présente un ergot 52 faisant saillie à l'intérieur de la mousse formant l'organe d'application 20, de manière à faciliter l'ouverture de la valve 50 en réponse à une pression exercée sur la face d'application 21 lors de sa mise en appui sur une surface à traiter. La force d'appui générée par la compression de l'organe d'application à l'intérieur de la capsule n'est pas suffisante pour provoquer l'ouverture de la valve 50. Le reste de la capsule est conforme à la capsule applicatrice de la figure 1A.The embodiment of FIG. 1D differs from the applicator capsule of the FIG. 1A in that the product P1, with which it is intended to be used in combination, is in liquid form, and is conveyed from port 6 to the application face 21, via the pores of the open cell foam forming the applicator member 20. The orifice 6 formed in the transverse wall 5 of the support 2 is closed by a valve 50 of frustoconical shape, and capable of coming selectively sealingly supported on a frustoconical seat formed by the edge of the wall transverse 5, delimiting the orifice 6. The valve 50 is constrained in the closed position by a spring 51 arranged on the side of the support, opposite the applicator member 20. On the side of the applicator member 20, the valve 50 has a lug 52 forming protrusion inside the foam forming the applicator member 20, so as to facilitate the opening of the valve 50 in response to a pressure exerted on the face of application 21 when it is supported on a surface to be treated. Strength support generated by the compression of the applicator member inside the capsule is not sufficient to cause the valve 50 to open. The rest of the capsule conforms to the applicator capsule of FIG. 1A.

La capsule applicatrice de la figure 1D est représentée à la figure 2C, en position montée sur un ensemble d'application 100, formé d'un flacon à parois souples 121 contenant un lait hydratant, et présentant un orifice 122. Le produit P2 contenu dans la capsule applicatrice 1 est une poudre libre contenant un filtre solaire.The applicator capsule of FIG. 1D is represented in FIG. 2C, in position mounted on an application assembly 100, formed of a flexible-walled bottle 121 containing a moisturizing milk, and having an orifice 122. The product P2 contained in the applicator capsule 1 is a loose powder containing a sunscreen.

Lors de l'application, l'utilisatrice monte sur le flacon la capsule applicatrice 1 contenant la poudre ayant l'indice de protection solaire désiré. Elle retire le capuchon 11 et met la face d'application 21 recouverte de poudre P2, en appui sur la surface à traiter, de manière à provoquer l'ouverture de la valve 50. Elle exerce alors une pression sur les parois du flacon de manière à provoquer la sortie du produit P1 au travers de l'orifice 6, et son transport sur la face d'application 21 via les pores de la mousse formant l'organe d'application. Le mélange est alors étalé en déplaçant la face d'application de manière adéquate sur la surface à traiter. En relâchant la pression de la face d'application 21 sur la surface à traiter, la valve 50 se referme sous la force de rappel du ressort 51. A nouveau, la présence de la valve, permet à la capsule applicatrice, après avoir été alimentée en produit P1, notamment en début de journée, d'être utilisée de manière autonome pendant le reste de la journée.During application, the user mounts the applicator capsule 1 on the bottle. containing the powder with the desired sun protection index. She removes the cap 11 and places the application face 21 covered with powder P2, in abutment on the surface to be treated, so as to cause the valve 50 to open. It then exerts pressure on the walls of the bottle so as to cause the exit of the product P1 through the orifice 6, and its transport on the face application 21 via the pores of the foam forming the application member. The mixture is then spread by moving the application face adequately on the surface to be treated. By releasing the pressure from the application face 21 on the surface to be treated, the valve 50 closes under the return force of the spring 51. A again, the presence of the valve, allows the applicator capsule, after being supplied with product P1, especially at the start of the day, to be used independently during the rest of the day.

Selon une variante de l'invention, on peut associer un récipient contenant un produit P1, à une pluralité de capsules applicatrices contenant le même produit P2, mais comportant un organe d'application ayant des caractéristiques, notamment de dureté, de souplesse, ou d'absorption, différentes. Ainsi l'utilisatrice choisit la capsule applicatrice comportant l'organe d'application lui permettant d'obtenir, notamment en fonction de la zone du corps à traiter, les caractéristiques d'application recherchées. La forme de l'organe d'application peut être quelconque, en fonction des surfaces à traiter. La capsule applicatrice peut, en position montée sur un récipient donné, être disposée dans l'axe du récipient, ou dans un axe différent, en fonction de la gestuelle recherchée.According to a variant of the invention, it is possible to associate a container containing a product P1, to a plurality of applicator capsules containing the same product P2, but comprising an application member having characteristics, in particular of hardness, flexibility, or absorption, different. So the user chooses the applicator capsule comprising the applicator member allowing it obtain, in particular depending on the area of the body to be treated, the characteristics application. The shape of the applicator member can be any, depending on the surfaces to be treated. The applicator capsule can, in position mounted on a given container, be arranged in the axis of the container, or in a different axis, depending on the gesture sought.

Le mode de réalisation de la figure 1E diffère du mode de réalisation précédent en ce que le capuchon 11 est vissé sur le support 2 au moyen d'un filetage 60 du capuchon 11, apte à coopérer avec un filetage correspondant 61 réalisé sur la jupe 8 du support 2. Le capuchon 11 est ainsi monté de façon parfaitement étanche sur le support 2. Le fond 63 du capuchon 11 est réalisé sous forme d'une membrane élastiquement déformable 64, laquelle peut être bi-injectée avec le capuchon 11. La membrane 64 porte une cupule 65 dans laquelle est compacté le produit P2. En position de stockage, la surface d'application 21 est maintenue à distance de la surface libre du produit P2. En vue d'une application, l'utilisatrice exerce une pression axiale sur la membrane élastiquement déformable 64 de manière à mettre la surface 21 en contact élastique avec la surface libre du produit P2, permettant ainsi le chargement de ladite surface d'application avec ledit produit P2. En relâchant la pression exercée sur le fond mobile 63, celui-ci revient par rappel élastique dans sa position initiale. L'utilisatrice dévisse alors le capuchon 11, et appuie la surface d'application 21 sur la peau, de manière à provoquer l'ouverture de la valve 50. En exerçant une pression sur les parois du récipient, lequel peut être du type de celui représenté à la figure 2C, elle provoque la sortie du produit P1 qui est acheminé sur la surface d'application 21 au travers des pores du matériau formant l'organe d'application 20. A l'application, le produit P1 est appliqué en mélange avec le produit P2.The embodiment of FIG. 1E differs from the previous embodiment in that the cap 11 is screwed onto the support 2 by means of a thread 60 of the cap 11, capable of cooperating with a corresponding thread 61 produced on the skirt 8 of the support 2. The cap 11 is thus mounted perfectly waterproof on the support 2. The bottom 63 of the cap 11 is produced in the form of a elastically deformable membrane 64, which can be bi-injected with the cap 11. The membrane 64 carries a cup 65 in which is compacted the product P2. In the storage position, the application surface 21 is kept at distance from the free surface of the product P2. For an application, the user exerts axial pressure on the elastically deformable membrane 64 of so as to put the surface 21 in elastic contact with the free surface of the product P2, thus allowing the loading of said application surface with said product P2. By releasing the pressure exerted on the movable bottom 63, the latter returns by elastic return to its initial position. The user then unscrews the cap 11, and presses the application surface 21 on the skin, so as to cause the valve 50 to open. By exerting pressure on the walls of the container, which may be of the type shown in Figure 2C, it causes the outlet of the product P1 which is conveyed to the application surface 21 through pores of the material forming the applicator member 20. On application, the product P1 is applied in mixture with product P2.

Le mode de réalisation de la figure 1F diffère de celui de la figure 1A, principalement en ce que le produit P2 est séparé du fond 73 du capuchon 11 par un bloc de mousse 70, monté, notamment par collage, dans le fond du capuchon. Un tel bloc de mousse permet d'améliorer l'élasticité du contact entre la surface d'application 21 et la surface libre du produit P2, notamment lorsque l'organe d'application 20 présente peu ou pas d'élasticité (feutre). En outre, en utilisant un bloc de mousse à cellules ouvertes 70, cela permet l'ancrage du produit P2 dans les pores de la mousse, lorsque le produit est coulé sous forme liquide. Le fonctionnement de la capsule 1 selon ce mode de réalisation est identique à celui du mode de réalisation de la figure 1A.The embodiment of FIG. 1F differs from that of FIG. 1A, mainly in that the product P2 is separated from the bottom 73 of the cap 11 by a block of foam 70, mounted, in particular by gluing, in the bottom of the cap. Such a foam block improves the elasticity of the contact between the surface 21 and the free surface of the product P2, in particular when the member 20 has little or no elasticity (felt). In addition, using a block of open cell foam 70, this allows the product P2 to be anchored in the pores of the foam, when the product is poured in liquid form. The operation of the capsule 1 according to this embodiment is identical to that of the embodiment of FIG. 1A.

Dans la description détaillée qui précède, il a été fait référence à des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention. Il est évident que des variantes peuvent y être apportées sans s'écarter de l'esprit de l'invention telle que revendiquée ci-après.In the foregoing detailed description, reference has been made to modes of preferred embodiments of the invention. Obviously there may be variations made without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed below.
