Abstract

The packaging which comprises an applicator which includes an application part (25) and a container able to be closed. The container defines a first housing (2) for the product (P) and a second housing for receiving the application part. The two housings communicate through an opening which enables the application part to be put in contact with the product. The second housing defines a bearing surface (7) around one part of the opening so as to limit the pressure able to be exerted by the application part on the product when the container is closed.

Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine des dispositifs de conditionnement et d'application d'un produit, notamment un produit cosmétique ou de soin.The present invention relates to the field of packaging devices and application of a product, in particular a cosmetic or care product.

On connaít par le brevet US 1 362 808 un dispositif comportant un applicateur comprenant une partie d'application, un récipient pouvant être fermé et logeant une réserve de produit, le corps du récipient définissant en outre un logement pour recevoir la partie d'application de l'applicateur lorsque le récipient est fermé. Des moyens sont prévus pour presser la réserve de produit contre la partie d'application afin de charger celle-ci en produit. Ces moyens sont constitués, dans ce dispositif connu, par un ressort travaillant en compression, ce ressort prenant appui à une extrémité contre le fond du corps du récipient et repoussant par l'autre extrémité la réserve de produit en direction de la partie d'application de l'applicateur. Un disque ajouré s'interpose entre la réserve de produit et la partie d'application, ce disque étant simplement posé sur la réserve de produit et par conséquent mobile par rapport au corps du récipient.Known from US Patent 1,362,808 a device comprising a applicator comprising an application part, a container which can be closed and housing a reserve of product, the container body further defining a housing to receive the application portion of the applicator when the container is closed. Of means are provided for pressing the reserve of product against the application portion so to load it with product. These means are constituted, in this known device, by a spring working in compression, this spring bearing at one end against the bottom of the container body and pushing the reserve of product at the other end direction of the application part of the applicator. An openwork disc is interposed between the reserve of product and the application part, this disc being simply placed on the reserve of product and therefore movable relative to the body of the container.

Un tel dispositif convient pour le conditionnement et l'application d'un produit relativement compact mais convient mal au conditionnement d'un produit de consistance plus fluide, car ce dernier pourrait, sous la pression exercée par le ressort précité, fluer au contact de la partie d'application et charger de manière non satisfaisante celle-ci.Such a device is suitable for packaging and applying a relatively compact product but unsuitable for packaging a product of more fluid consistency, because the latter could, under the pressure exerted by the spring above, creep in contact with the application part and load in an unsatisfactory manner this one.

La présente invention vise notamment à améliorer les dispositifs du type comportant un applicateur comprenant une partie d'application et un récipient définissant un premier logement pour le produit et un second logement pour, en position fermée du récipient, recevoir la partie d'application de l'applicateur, les premier et second logements communiquant au travers d'une ouverture de section transversale sensiblement identique à celle du premier logement, cette ouverture permettant à la partie d'application d'être mise en contact avec le produit.The present invention aims in particular to improve devices of the type comprising an applicator comprising an application part and a container defining a first housing for the product and a second housing for, in the closed position of the container, receive the application part of the applicator, the first and second housings communicating through a substantially cross-sectional opening identical to that of the first housing, this opening allowing the application part to be brought into contact with the product.

L'invention vise en particulier à permettre l'application et le conditionnement d'un produit délitable de consistance relativement fluide.The invention aims in particular to allow application and packaging a crumbly product of relatively fluid consistency.

L'invention y parvient grâce au fait que le second logement précité définit une portée autour d'une partie au moins de ladite ouverture, de manière à limiter la pression pouvant être exercée par la partie d'application sur le produit lorsque le récipient est fermé. The invention achieves this by virtue of the fact that the aforementioned second housing defines a carried around at least part of said opening, so as to limit the pressure can be exerted by the application part on the product when the container is closed.

Ainsi, grâce à l'invention, on limite l'enfoncement de la partie d'application dans la réserve de produit en l'absence d'utilisation du dispositif, lorsque le récipient est fermé et qu'il existe une pression de contact entre le produit et la partie d'application.Thus, thanks to the invention, the penetration of the application part is limited in the product reserve in the absence of use of the device, when the container is closed and there is contact pressure between the product and the application part.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif, notamment la qualité du chargement de la partie d'application en produit, s'en trouve amélioré.The operation of the device, in particular the quality of the loading of the part of the product application is improved.

De plus, l'invention permet le conditionnement d'une variété plus grande de produits puisque la partie d'application exerce un effort sur la réserve de produit lorsque le récipient est fermé, cet effort est limité grâce à la portée précitée et l'on a moins à craindre une déformation de la réserve de produit sous l'effet de la pression de contact avec la partie d'application.In addition, the invention allows the packaging of a larger variety of products since the application part exerts an effort on the reserve of product when the container is closed, this effort is limited thanks to the aforementioned scope and there is less to fear a deformation of the product reserve under the effect of contact pressure with the application part.

L'invention permet encore un contrôle plus précis de la pression de contact entre la partie d'application et le produit pour prélever ce dernier, car une pression importante peut être générée seulement au moment de l'utilisation, si l'utilisateur le souhaite.The invention also allows more precise control of the contact pressure between the application part and the product to withdraw the latter, because pressure important can only be generated at the time of use, if the user wish.

Avantageusement, la partie d'application est élastiquement déformable.Advantageously, the application part is elastically deformable.

Dans une réalisation particulière, la portée précitée présente une forme annulaire, entourant l'ouverture faisant communiquer les deux logements.In a particular embodiment, the above-mentioned scope has a shape annular, surrounding the opening connecting the two housings.

Une portée annulaire telle que précitée permet alors d'obtenir une surface d'appui relativement étendue avec la partie d'application, afin d'éviter par exemple de comprimer localement la partie d'application au point de lui faire perdre sa capacité à reprendre sa forme initiale lorsqu'elle est extraite du récipient.An annular bearing as mentioned above then makes it possible to obtain a surface relatively wide support with the application part, in order to avoid for example locally compress the application part to the point of making it lose its ability to return to its original shape when it is removed from the container.

Dans une réalisation particulière, la portée en question est réalisée d'un seul tenant avec le corps du récipient, ce qui permet d'en simplifier la fabrication.In a particular embodiment, the scope in question is produced from a single holding with the body of the container, which simplifies manufacture.

La portée présente avantageusement une forme concave vers la partie d'application, laquelle est de préférence convexe vers l'extérieur.The bearing advantageously has a concave shape towards the part of application, which is preferably convex towards the outside.

La portée peut ainsi épouser sensiblement la forme d'une portion de la partie d'application lorsque l'applicateur est en place sur le corps du récipient.The litter can thus closely match the shape of a portion of the part application when the applicator is in place on the body of the container.

Avantageusement, la partie d'application est solidaire d'un organe de préhension qui constitue également un couvercle de fermeture du récipient.Advantageously, the application part is integral with a member for grip which also constitutes a cover for closing the container.

Un tel couvercle peut comporter par exemple un filetage intérieur destiné à se visser sur un filetage extérieur du corps du récipient.Such a cover may for example have an internal thread intended to be screw on an external thread of the container body.

La pression de contact entre le produit et la partie d'application, au moins pour charger cette dernière au moment de l'utilisation, peut être exercée de diverses manières.The contact pressure between the product and the application part, at least to charge the latter at the time of use, can be exercised in various manners.

Avantageusement, le dispositif comporte un organe mobile de manière à provoquer un déplacement relatif entre le produit et la partie d'application.Advantageously, the device comprises a movable member so as to cause a relative displacement between the product and the application part.

Dans une réalisation particulière, l'organe en question est mobile par rapport au corps du récipient, pour entraíner le produit en direction de la partie d'application.In a particular embodiment, the organ in question is movable relative to to the body of the container, to drive the product towards the application part.

En variante, cet organe est mobile par rapport au couvercle pour entraíner la partie d'application en direction du produit.Alternatively, this member is movable relative to the cover to cause the part of application towards the product.

L'organe mobile peut être solidaire d'un organe d'entraínement, mobile par rapport au corps du récipient et coopérant par vissage avec celui-ci, de telle sorte qu'une rotation de l'organe d'entraínement s'accompagne d'un déplacement axial de l'organe mobile dans le corps du récipient.The movable member may be integral with a drive member, movable by relative to the body of the container and cooperating by screwing therewith, so that a rotation of the drive member is accompanied by an axial displacement of the member movable in the body of the container.

Dans une réalisation particulière, l'organe d'entraínement précité est directement accessible depuis l'extérieur du récipient par l'utilisateur et peut se présenter, par exemple, sous la forme d'un bouton présentant sur une face apparente au moins un relief permettant de l'entraíner en rotation.In a particular embodiment, the aforementioned drive member is directly accessible from the outside of the container by the user and can be presented, for example, in the form of a button having on one visible face at least one relief allowing it to rotate.

L'organe mobile peut également être entraíné en déplacement axial par un mécanisme d'entraínement plus complexe.The movable member can also be driven in axial displacement by a more complex drive mechanism.

Un tel mécanisme d'entraínement comporte, par exemple, une première partie et une deuxième partie, mobiles l'une par rapport à l'autre, la première partie comportant des fentes axiales dans lesquelles peuvent coulisser des ergots solidaires de l'organe mobile, la deuxième partie comportant au moins un filetage dans lequel viennent en prise lesdits ergots, de telle sorte qu'un mouvement relatif des deux parties s'accompagne d'un déplacement axial de l'organe mobile.Such a drive mechanism comprises, for example, a first part and a second part, movable relative to each other, the first part comprising axial slots in which can slide pins integral with the member mobile, the second part comprising at least one thread in which engage said pins, so that a relative movement of the two parts is accompanied by a axial movement of the movable member.

L'organe mobile peut encore être déplacé par rapport au corps du récipient par une simple pression exercée sur l'organe élévateur par l'utilisateur.The movable member can still be moved relative to the body of the container by a simple pressure exerted on the lifting member by the user.

Dans ce cas, l'organe mobile est avantageusement rappelé dans une position initiale par des moyens de rappel élastiques.In this case, the movable member is advantageously returned to a position initial by elastic return means.

La pression de contact de la partie d'application sur le produit peut également être obtenue grâce à l'applicateur.The contact pressure of the application part on the product can also be obtained with the applicator.

On peut ainsi réaliser la partie d'application dans un matériau élastiquement déformable de telle sorte que lorsqu'elle est en place sur le corps du récipient et que celui-ci est fermé, elle exerce une certaine pression de contact sur le produit.We can thus realize the application part in an elastically material deformable so that when it is in place on the body of the container and that it is closed, it exerts a certain contact pressure on the product.

On peut également réaliser la partie d'application avec une surface d'application relativement rigide et prévoir sur l'applicateur des moyens élastiquement déformables permettant de solliciter en déplacement la partie d'application vers le produit.You can also make the application part with a surface relatively rigid application and provide elastic means on the applicator deformable enabling the application part to be moved on the move product.

On peut aussi prévoir un ressort sur l'applicateur entre le couvercle et la partie d'application ou fixer la partie d'application sur un organe élastiquement déformable tel qu'une mousse.It is also possible to provide a spring on the applicator between the cover and the part application or fix the application part on an elastically deformable member such than a foam.

Avantageusement, le corps du récipient est agencé de manière à permettre de recharger le dispositif.Advantageously, the body of the container is arranged so as to allow recharge the device.

Lorsque le récipient comporte un organe mobile permettant de déplacer le produit en direction de la partie d'application, cet organe mobile est avantageusement disposé de manière amovible sur le corps du récipient.When the container has a movable member for moving the produced in the direction of the application part, this movable member is advantageously removably arranged on the body of the container.

Ainsi, dans une réalisation particulière, l'organe mobile est solidaire d'au moins un organe de fixation pouvant être déplacé par l'utilisateur pour désolidariser l'organe mobile du corps du récipient et permettre la mise en place d'une nouvelle réserve de produit.Thus, in a particular embodiment, the movable member is integral with at least least one fixing member that can be moved by the user to separate the movable member of the container body and allow the establishment of a new reserve of product.

Le dispositif peut comporter des pattes élastiques venant en prise sur un filetage intérieur du corps du récipient, pouvant être sollicitées en déplacement par l'utilisateur lorsqu'il est nécessaire de désolidariser l'organe mobile du corps du récipient.The device may include elastic tabs engaging on a internal thread of the container body, which can be moved during movement by the user when it is necessary to separate the movable member from the body of the container.

Le corps du récipient peut également comporter un fond amovible ou articulé, permettant la mise en place et le remplacement d'une recharge, une telle recharge comportant par exemple une réserve de produit et un ensemble porte-produit, cet ensemble porte-produit comportant éventuellement un mécanisme distributeur permettant de déplacer le produit en direction de la partie d'application.The body of the container can also have a removable or articulated bottom, allowing the installation and replacement of a refill, such a refill comprising for example a reserve of product and a product holder assembly, this product holder assembly possibly including a dispensing mechanism allowing to move the product towards the application part.

Le fond amovible ou pivotant peut comporter une ouverture centrale permettant par exemple à l'utilisateur d'actionner l'ensemble porte-produit pour charger la partie d'application en produit ou de laisser apparaítre un miroir, du produit, un échantillon de produit ou une indication concernant, par exemple, la couleur du produit.The removable or pivoting bottom may have a central opening allowing for example the user to actuate the product holder assembly to charge the part of product application or to let appear a mirror, product, a product sample or an indication of, for example, the color of the product.

L'invention s'applique au conditionnement et à l'application de tout type de produit délitable pâteux, gélifié, crémeux ou pulvérulent.The invention applies to the packaging and application of all types of Delitable pasty, gelled, creamy or powdery product.

La réserve de produit peut, en particulier, se présenter sous la forme d'un stick coulé ou compacté, rapporté dans le corps du récipient ou formé dans celui-ci.The reserve of product may, in particular, be in the form of a stick poured or compacted, added to or formed in the body of the container.

De préférence, le récipient ferme de manière étanche.Preferably, the container closes tightly.

La partie d'application peut avantageusement contribuer à l'étanchéité de la fermeture du récipient.The application part can advantageously contribute to the sealing of the container closure.

La partie d'application peut être solidaire d'un organe de préhension constituant également un couvercle de fermeture du récipient ou, en variante, être mobile ou amovible par rapport au couvercle.The application part can be integral with a gripping member also constituting a lid for closing the container or, as a variant, being movable or removable from the cover.

D'une manière générale, l'étanchéité à la fermeture du récipient peut être obtenue par tous moyens connus, par exemple au moyen de lèvres d'étanchéité présentes sur l'applicateur et/ou sur le corps du récipient, ou au moyen d'un joint élastomère.In general, the seal upon closure of the container can be obtained by any known means, for example by means of sealing lips present on the applicator and / or on the container body, or by means of an elastomeric seal.

Le produit étant amené au contact de la partie d'application par l'ouverture faisant communiquer les deux logements précités, la partie d'application présente avantageusement une forme de dôme, dont la section à la base est supérieure à celle de ladite ouverture.The product being brought into contact with the application part through the opening making the two aforementioned housings communicate, the application part presents advantageously a dome shape, the cross section of which at the base is greater than that of said opening.

Dans une réalisation particulière, le produit est distribué vers la partie d'application au travers d'un tamis disposé dans l'ouverture précitée, mobile par rapport au corps du récipient.In a particular embodiment, the product is distributed to the part application through a sieve disposed in the aforementioned opening, movable relative to the container body.

La partie d'application peut comporter une mousse à cellules ouvertes ou fermées.The application portion may include open cell foam or closed.

La partie d'application peut être floquée, être recouverte par un filet, un tissu ou un non tissé.The application part can be flocked, covered with a net, a fabric or a nonwoven.

La partie d'application peut comporter plusieurs éléments de nature et/ou de structures différentes, par exemple des mousses ayant différentes duretés, densités et/ou porosités.The application part may include several elements of nature and / or different structures, for example foams having different hardnesses, densities and / or porosities.

La partie d'application peut être lavable à l'eau et au savon, ce qui est avantageux lorsque le dispositif est utilisé avec des recharges contenant différents produits.The application part can be washable with soap and water, which is advantageous when the device is used with refills containing different products.

La partie d'application peut être hydrophile ou hydrophobe.The application part can be hydrophilic or hydrophobic.

Le dispositif 1, représenté sur les figures 1 à 4, comporte un récipient comprenant un corps 2 et un couvercle 3.The device 1, shown in Figures 1 to 4, comprises a container comprising a body 2 and a cover 3.

Le corps 2 loge une réserve de produit P, constitué par un stick de fond de teint dans l'exemple décrit.The body 2 houses a reserve of product P, constituted by a bottom stick of dyed in the example described.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 3, la réserve de produit P est contenue dans une cheminée 5 du corps 2, sensiblement cylindrique d'axe X, constituant un premier logement au sens de l'invention.As can be seen in FIG. 3, the reserve of product P is contained in a chimney 5 of the body 2, substantially cylindrical with axis X, constituting a first housing within the meaning of the invention.

La cheminée 5 est réalisée d'un seul tenant par moulage de matière plastique avec une jupe extérieure 4 et débouche à son extrémité supérieure dans un logement 6 défini par une portée annulaire 7 du corps 2, d'axe X, généralement concave vers l'intérieur du logement 6.The chimney 5 is made in one piece by plastic molding with an outer skirt 4 and opens at its upper end into a housing 6 defined by an annular bearing 7 of the body 2, of axis X, generally concave towards inside the housing 6.

Le logement 6 constitue un deuxième logement au sens de l'invention.The housing 6 constitutes a second housing within the meaning of the invention.

L'ouverture par laquelle la cheminée 5 communique avec le logement 6 est ici dépourvue de tout organe annexe et présente une section transversale qui correspond sensiblement à celle de la cheminée 5.The opening through which the chimney 5 communicates with the housing 6 is here devoid of any annexed organ and has a cross section which corresponds substantially like that of the chimney 5.

La réserve de produit P est apte à être déplacée selon l'axe X en direction du logement 6 par un organe mobile 8, ce dernier étant solidaire dans l'exemple de réalisation décrit d'une embase 9 de forme discoïde, pourvue de deux pattes élastiques 11 diamétralement opposées.The product reserve P is capable of being displaced along the axis X in the direction of the housing 6 by a movable member 8, the latter being integral in the example of described embodiment of a base 9 of discoid shape, provided with two elastic tabs 11 diametrically opposite.

Chacune de ces pattes 11 comporte de son côté radialement extérieur un ergot 12 apte à venir en prise dans un filet hélicoïdal 13 formé en creux sur la surface radialement intérieure 14 de la jupe extérieure 4.Each of these legs 11 has on its radially outer side a lug 12 able to engage in a helical thread 13 formed hollow on the surface radially inner 14 of the outer skirt 4.

L'embase 9 comporte sur sa face inférieure, apparente pour l'utilisateur, une nervure diamétrale 16 permettant à l'utilisateur de l'entraíner en rotation autour de l'axe X pour faire avancer l'organe mobile 8 en direction du logement 6.The base 9 has on its underside, visible to the user, a diametral rib 16 allowing the user to rotate it about the X axis to advance the movable member 8 towards the housing 6.

Une jupe d'étanchéité 17 entoure l'organe mobile 8, en ménageant une gorge annulaire dans laquelle peut s'engager la cheminée 5.A sealing skirt 17 surrounds the movable member 8, providing a groove ring in which the chimney can engage 5.

La jupe d'étanchéité 17 se raccorde sur l'embase 9 et s'applique de manière étanche sur la cheminée 5.The sealing skirt 17 is connected to the base 9 and is applied so waterproof on the chimney 5.

Le corps 2 comporte un filetage 20 à sa partie supérieure et le couvercle 3 comporte une jupe de montage 21 agencée pour se visser sur le corps 2 et fermer de manière étanche le récipient à sa partie supérieure.The body 2 has a thread 20 at its upper part and the cover 3 has a mounting skirt 21 arranged to be screwed onto the body 2 and to close sealing the container at its upper part.

Le dispositif 1 comporte un applicateur comprenant dans l'exemple décrit une partie d'application 25, constituée ici par une mousse à cellules ouvertes.The device 1 comprises an applicator comprising in the example described a application part 25, constituted here by an open cell foam.

La partie d'application 25 présente une forme générale de dôme, dont le diamètre à la base est supérieur à celui de la cheminée 5 du corps 2.The application part 25 has a general shape of a dome, the diameter at the base is greater than that of the chimney 5 of the body 2.

Lorsque le couvercle 3 est vissé sur le corps 2, la partie d'application 25 vient en appui contre la portée 7 de sorte que la pression exercée par la zone centrale 25a de la partie d'application 25 sur le produit P est réduite par rapport à la pression qui s'exercerait sur celui-ci en l'absence de portée 7.When the cover 3 is screwed onto the body 2, the application part 25 comes pressing against the bearing 7 so that the pressure exerted by the central zone 25a of the application part 25 on the product P is reduced compared to the pressure which would be exerted on it in the absence of scope 7.

Lorsque le récipient est fermé, la partie d'application peut ne pas être en contact avec le produit, si l'organe mobile 8 est dans une position reculée. When the container is closed, the application part may not be in contact with the product, if the movable member 8 is in a remote position.

On remarquera que la portée 7 comporte en partie inférieure une zone annulaire 7a dont la normale fait un angle relativement faible avec l'axe X, inférieur à 45°.It will be noted that the litter 7 comprises in the lower part an area annular 7a whose normal makes a relatively small angle with the X axis, less than 45 °.

Cette zone annulaire 7a, qui borde l'ouverture définie par la cheminée 5, est pressée axialement par la partie d'application 25.This annular zone 7a, which borders the opening defined by the chimney 5, is axially pressed by the application part 25.

La zone 7b de la portée 7, qui se situe au-dessus de la zone 7a précitée, présente une forme correspondant sensiblement à celle de la partie d'application 25b au voisinage de la base du dôme. De cette façon, cette partie 25b n'est pas comprimée radialement par ladite zone 7b.Zone 7b of the scope 7, which is located above the aforementioned zone 7a, has a shape substantially corresponding to that of the application part 25b at near the base of the dome. In this way, this part 25b is not compressed radially through said zone 7b.

Pour utiliser le dispositif 1, l'utilisateur dévisse le couvercle 3, puis en faisant tourner l'embase 9 au moyen de la nervure 16, fait remonter le produit P à l'intérieur du logement 6.To use the device 1, the user unscrews the cover 3, then making turn the base 9 by means of the rib 16, makes the product P rise inside the housing 6.

L'utilisateur peut alors charger la partie d'application 25 en produit en la faisant, par exemple, tourner légèrement au contact du produit P.The user can then load the application portion 25 with product by for example, turning slightly in contact with product P.

Lorsqu'il est nécessaire de désolidariser l'organe mobile 8 du corps 2 du récipient, l'utilisateur peut, après avoir amené l'organe mobile 8 en position basse, rapprocher les pattes flexibles 11 pour dégager les ergots 12 du filet hélicoïdal 13.When it is necessary to separate the movable member 8 from the body 2 of the container, the user can, after having brought the movable member 8 in the low position, bring the flexible tabs 11 together to disengage the lugs 12 from the helical thread 13.

Il convient de remarquer qu'en raison du contact qui peut exister entre la zone centrale 25a de la partie d'application 25 et le produit P lorsque le couvercle 3 est vissé sur le corps 2, l'action de dévissage du couvercle 3 peut suffire, à elle seule, à charger la partie d'application 25 en produit.It should be noted that due to the contact that may exist between the area central 25a of the application part 25 and the product P when the cover 3 is screwed on the body 2, the action of unscrewing the cover 3 may be sufficient, by itself, to load the application part 25 in product.

On peut, sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention, modifier la façon dont le couvercle 3 est fixé sur le corps 2 du récipient, en remplaçant par exemple le filetage 20 par un simple jonc annulaire sur lequel viendrait s'encliqueter le couvercle 3.Without departing from the scope of the present invention, it is possible to modify the way in which the cover 3 is fixed to the body 2 of the container, replacing for example the thread 20 by a simple annular ring on which the cover 3 would snap.

On peut encore prévoir tout autre moyen de fixation connu, par exemple une fixation de type baïonnette.It is also possible to provide any other known fixing means, for example a bayonet type fixing.

On a représenté sur la figure 5 un dispositif 30 comportant un corps 31 et un couvercle 32.FIG. 5 shows a device 30 comprising a body 31 and a cover 32.

Le corps 31 comporte une partie supérieure 33 et une partie inférieure 34 pouvant tourner l'une par rapport à l'autre autour de l'axe X.The body 31 has an upper part 33 and a lower part 34 can rotate with respect to each other around the X axis.

La partie supérieure 33 définit un logement 36 pour recevoir une partie d'application 37 d'un applicateur. The upper part 33 defines a housing 36 for receiving a part Application 37 of an applicator.

Dans l'exemple décrit, la partie d'application 37 est solidaire du couvercle 32 qui sert d'organe de préhension.In the example described, the application part 37 is integral with the cover 32 which serves as a gripping organ.

Le logement 36 est délimité par une portée annulaire 39 concave vers l'intérieur du logement 36 et dont la normale, à proximité de son bord radialement intérieur, fait un angle relativement faible avec l'axe X, à l'instar de la portée 7 précédemment décrite.The housing 36 is delimited by an annular bearing 39 concave towards inside the housing 36 and of which the normal, close to its edge radially interior, makes a relatively small angle with the X axis, like the scope 7 previously described.

Le produit P est porté par un organe élévateur 40 pourvu à sa périphérie de deux ergots 41, diamétralement opposés, venant en prise dans un filetage 42 réalisé sur la surface radialement intérieure d'une cheminée 43.The product P is carried by an elevating member 40 provided at its periphery with two lugs 41, diametrically opposite, engaging in a thread 42 produced on the radially inner surface of a chimney 43.

La cheminée 43 est réalisée d'un seul tenant avec une jupe extérieure 51.The chimney 43 is made in one piece with an outer skirt 51.

La partie supérieure 33 comporte un fourreau 45 qui s'étend à l'intérieur de la cheminée 43.The upper part 33 comprises a sheath 45 which extends inside the fireplace 43.

Ce fourreau 45 est pourvu d'un godron 46 encliqueté dans une gorge annulaire 47 de la cheminée 43, de manière à permettre une rotation relative des parties supérieure 33 et inférieure 34 sans déplacement axial entre elles.This sheath 45 is provided with a godron 46 snapped into a groove annular 47 of the chimney 43, so as to allow relative rotation of the parts upper 33 and lower 34 without axial displacement between them.

Le fourreau 45 comporte en outre deux fentes axiales 48 dans lesquelles peuvent coulisser parallèlement à l'axe X les ergots 41.The sheath 45 further comprises two axial slots 48 in which can slide parallel to the X axis, the lugs 41.

Lorsque l'utilisateur tourne la partie supérieure 33 par rapport à la partie inférieure 34, le fourreau 45 entraíne en rotation l'organe élévateur 40 et provoque un déplacement axial de celui-ci, les ergots 41 coulissant dans les fentes 48.When the user turns the upper part 33 relative to the part lower 34, the sleeve 45 rotates the lifting member 40 and causes a axial displacement of the latter, the pins 41 sliding in the slots 48.

L'homme de métier pourra constater que le mécanisme d'entraínement de l'organe élévateur 40 est assez similaire à celui d'un étui de rouge à lèvres.Those skilled in the art will be able to see that the drive mechanism of the lifting member 40 is quite similar to that of a lipstick case.

La partie inférieure 34 est fermée par un fond 50, encliqueté sur la jupe extérieure 51.The lower part 34 is closed by a bottom 50, snapped onto the skirt exterior 51.

Pour utiliser le dispositif 30, l'utilisateur dévisse le couvercle 32, puis en faisant tourner la partie supérieure 33 par rapport à la partie inférieure 34, déplace le produit P vers l'intérieur du logement 36.To use the device 30, the user unscrews the cover 32, then rotating the upper part 33 relative to the lower part 34, moves the product P towards the interior of the housing 36.

L'utilisateur peut alors prélever le produit P au moyen de la partie d'application 37.The user can then withdraw the product P by means of the part of application 37.

On a représenté partiellement sur la figure 6 un dispositif 60 conforme à un troisième exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention.Partially shown in FIG. 6 is a device 60 conforming to a third example of implementation of the invention.

Le dispositif 60 comporte, à l'instar des dispositifs 1 et 30 précédemment décrits, un corps 63 comprenant une jupe extérieure 61 et une cheminée 62, laquelle loge un stick de produit P.The device 60 comprises, like the devices 1 and 30 previously described, a body 63 comprising an outer skirt 61 and a chimney 62, which houses a stick of product P.

Le corps 63 du dispositif 60 comporte un logement 64 défini par une portée 65 apte à limiter la pression pouvant être exercée par l'élément d'application, non représenté, sur le produit P, lorsque le récipient est fermé, en l'absence d'utilisation.The body 63 of the device 60 comprises a housing 64 defined by a scope 65 able to limit the pressure that can be exerted by the application element, not shown, on product P, when the container is closed, when not in use.

Le dispositif 60 comporte un organe élévateur 70 permettant de déplacer le produit P vers l'intérieur du logement 64.The device 60 comprises an elevator member 70 making it possible to move the product P towards the interior of the housing 64.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation décrit, l'organe élévateur 70 comporte une partie centrale 71 formant piston, apte à coulisser dans la cheminée 62, autour de cette partie centrale 71 une jupe d'étanchéité 74 apte à s'appliquer de manière étanche sur la surface radialement extérieure de la cheminée 62 et une embase 75 retenue à l'intérieur de la jupe extérieure 61 par une butée annulaire 76 formée à l'extrémité inférieure de la jupe extérieure 61 de son côté radialement intérieur.In the embodiment described, the lifting member 70 includes a central part 71 forming a piston, capable of sliding in the chimney 62, around this central part 71 a sealing skirt 74 capable of being applied sealingly to the radially outer surface of the chimney 62 and a base 75 retained inside the outer skirt 61 by an annular stop 76 formed at the lower end of the skirt outer 61 on its radially inner side.

Un ressort travaillant en compression 78 est logé entre la jupe extérieure 61 et la cheminée 62, prend appui à son extrémité supérieure dans le fond de la gorge formée entre la jupe extérieure 61 et la cheminée 62 et prend appui à son extrémité inférieure contre l'embase 75.A spring working in compression 78 is housed between the outer skirt 61 and the chimney 62, bears at its upper end in the bottom of the groove formed between the outer skirt 61 and the chimney 62 and is supported at its lower end against base 75.

Ainsi, au repos, l'embase 75 est rappelée contre la butée annulaire 76 par le ressort 78.Thus, at rest, the base 75 is biased against the annular stop 76 by the spring 78.

Pour déplacer le produit P en direction de l'intérieur du logement 64, l'utilisateur appuie sur la face extérieure de la partie centrale 71.To move the product P towards the interior of the housing 64, the user presses on the outside of the central part 71.

On a représenté sur la figure 7 un dispositif 60' qui diffère essentiellement du dispositif 60 précédemment décrit par l'absence de ressort 78.FIG. 7 shows a device 60 ′ which differs essentially from the device 60 previously described by the absence of spring 78.

On a porté sur la figure 7 les mêmes chiffres de référence que pour la figure 6, simplement affectés d'un ', pour désigner des éléments identiques ou fonctionnellement analogues.The same reference numbers have been shown in FIG. 7 as in FIG. 6, simply assigned a ', to designate identical elements or functionally analogous.

On peut placer dans l'ouverture par laquelle la cheminée communique avec le logement contenant la partie d'application un tamis 90 mobile comme illustré sur la figure 8, ce tamis 90 pouvant être déplacé en direction de la réserve de produit par rapport au corps du récipient.It can be placed in the opening through which the chimney communicates with the housing containing the application part a movable screen 90 as illustrated in the figure 8, this screen 90 being able to be moved in the direction of the reserve of product relative to the container body.

La réserve de produit P peut être contenue dans une recharge 100, qu'on a représenté schématiquement sur la figure 9, cette recharge comportant, outre la réserve de produit P, un ensemble porte-produit 101, comprenant éventuellement un mécanisme d'entraínement pour déplacer le produit P en direction de la partie d'application de l'applicateur.The reserve of product P can be contained in a refill 100, which we have shown schematically in Figure 9, this refill comprising, in addition to the reserve of product P, a product holder assembly 101, possibly including a mechanism drive to move the product P towards the application part of the applicator.

La recharge 100 se place dans un corps de récipient 102, dans lequel peut se loger un applicateur 103 comprenant une partie d'application 104 et un couvercle 108 servant également d'organe de préhension.The refill 100 is placed in a container body 102, in which can be housing an applicator 103 comprising an application portion 104 and a cover 108 also serving as a grip.

Le corps 102 peut comporter un fond 105 articulé, afin de permettre la mise en place de la recharge 100 dans le corps 102.The body 102 may include a hinged bottom 105, in order to allow the setting in place of the refill 100 in the body 102.

Le fond 105 peut comporter une ouverture 106, permettant par exemple à l'utilisateur de manoeuvrer la recharge 100 en vue de déplacer le produit P en direction de la partie d'application 104.The bottom 105 may have an opening 106, allowing for example to the user to maneuver the refill 100 in order to move the product P towards the application part 104.

L'ouverture 106 peut en variante laisser apparaítre un miroir 107 fixé sur la recharge 100, ou tout autre élément tel que par exemple un échantillon de produit ou une pastille colorée.The opening 106 may alternatively reveal a mirror 107 fixed on the refill 100, or any other element such as for example a product sample or a colored pastille.

On a illustré sur les figures 10 à 15 différentes configurations de la partie d'application et/ou de l'applicateur.We illustrated in Figures 10 to 15 different configurations of the part application and / or applicator.

L'applicateur peut comporter, comme illustré sur la figure 10, une partie d'application 110 relativement rigide, fixée sur une mousse 111, cette dernière étant elle-même assujettie à un support en matière plastique rigide 112.The applicator may comprise, as illustrated in FIG. 10, a part of relatively rigid application 110, fixed on a foam 111, the latter being itself secured to a rigid plastic support 112.

La mousse 111 se comporte comme un organe de rappel élastique permettant de solliciter la partie d'application 110 en déplacement vers la réserve de produit lorsque l'applicateur est fixé sur le récipient.The foam 111 behaves like an elastic return member allowing to request the application part 110 moving towards the reserve of product when the applicator is attached to the container.

La partie d'application peut également être montée sur un ensemble mobile comme illustré sur la figure 11.The application part can also be mounted on a mobile assembly as shown in figure 11.

Le ressort 123 permet de solliciter la partie d'application 120 contre la réserve de produit lorsque l'applicateur est en place sur le récipient.The spring 123 makes it possible to urge the application part 120 against the reserve of product when the applicator is in place on the container.

La partie d'application peut comporter des matériaux de nature et/ou de structures différentes.The application part may include materials of a nature and / or different structures.

A titre d'exemple, on a représenté sur la figure 12 une partie d'application 130 qui comprend une partie centrale 131 réalisée dans une mousse relativement souple et une partie périphérique 132, s'étendant autour de la partie centrale 131, réalisée dans une mousse plus rigide.By way of example, FIG. 12 shows an application part 130 which includes a central part 131 made of a relatively flexible foam and a peripheral part 132, extending around the central part 131, produced in a stiffer foam.

La partie d'application peut comporter à sa surface un flocage 140, comme illustré sur la figure 13.The application part may have a flock 140 on its surface, as illustrated in figure 13.

La partie d'application peut aussi, comme illustré sur la figure 14 en vue de dessus, être recouverte d'un filet 150.The application part can also, as illustrated in FIG. 14 for the purpose of above, be covered with a net 150.

La partie d'application peut encore comporter à sa surface une couche d'un non tissé 160, comme illustré sur la figure 15.The application part may also have on its surface a layer of a nonwoven 160, as illustrated in FIG. 15.

On a illustré sur la figure 16 la possibilité pour l'applicateur de comporter un organe 170 mobile à l'intérieur d'un couvercle 171, permettant de déplacer la partie d'application 172 en direction du produit, lorsque le couvercle 171 est fixé sur un corps de récipient tel que le corps 102 de la figure 9, par exemple.Illustrated in Figure 16 the possibility for the applicator to include a member 170 movable inside a cover 171, making it possible to move the part 172 in the direction of the product, when the cover 171 is fixed to a body container such as the body 102 of Figure 9, for example.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits.Of course, the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments which have just been described.

En particulier, l'élément d'application peut présenter des natures, textures ou structures diverses, en fonction du maquillage recherché, et comporter éventuellement des agents biocides, par exemple bactéricides.In particular, the application element may have natures, textures or various structures, depending on the desired makeup, and possibly include biocidal agents, for example bactericides.

Le produit peut être pâteux, crémeux, gélifié ou pulvérulent, se présenter sous la forme d'un stick coulé ou compacté, mis en forme à l'extérieur du récipient ou dans celui-ci.The product can be pasty, creamy, gelled or powdery, come in the shape of a cast or compacted stick, shaped outside the container or in this one.

La partie d'application peut également être amovible par rapport au couvercle permettant de fermer le récipient.The application part can also be removable relative to the cover to close the container.

La partie d'application peut être mouillée avant de prélever du produit.The application part can be wetted before removing the product.
