The first support surface is located on the nozzle so that the user can dispense the product by holding the packaging in one hand and bring the product onto the application surface.

Description

La présente invention concerne les dispositifs de conditionnement et d'application d'un produit cosmétique et/ou de soin, et plus particulièrement mais non exclusivement ceux destinés à l'application d'un produit sur les cheveux et/ou le cuir chevelu.The present invention relates to packaging devices and of applying a cosmetic and / or care product, and more particularly but not exclusively those intended for the application of a product to hair and / or leather Scalp.

On connaít de nombreux dispositifs pour le conditionnement séparé de deux produits et la distribution du mélange obtenu.We know many devices for the separate packaging of two products and distribution of the resulting mixture.

Ces dispositifs connus comportent un récipient ayant une partie compressible et un embout de distribution ayant un canal de sortie débouchant à l'extérieur dans l'axe du récipient.These known devices include a container having a compressible part and a dispensing nozzle having an outlet channel opening to the outside in the axis of the container.

Pour des raisons de coût, la tendance actuelle est d'utiliser des embouts comportant une partie sécable, à rompre lors de la première utilisation.For cost reasons, the current trend is to use end caps with a breakable part, to be broken during the first use.

La société demanderesse a constaté que l'application du produit à la base des cheveux, avec venue de l'embout au contact du cuir chevelu, pouvait s'avérer inconfortable car l'embout est susceptible de présenter, après enlèvement de la partie sécable, un bord anguleux pouvant griffer le cuir chevelu ou accrocher les cheveux.The applicant company has found that the application of the product on the basis of hair, with the tip coming into contact with the scalp, could be uncomfortable because the tip is likely to present, after removal of the part breakable, an angular edge which can scratch the scalp or catch the hair.

En outre, il est relativement difficile pour l'utilisateur de contrôler précisément la pression exercée par l'embout sur le cuir chevelu et de suivre un trajet prédéterminé, par exemple une raie formée dans les cheveux.In addition, it is relatively difficult for the user to control precisely the pressure exerted by the tip on the scalp and to follow a path predetermined, for example a part formed in the hair.

La présente invention a pour objet un nouveau dispositif de conditionnement et d'application permettant d'améliorer le confort à l'application du produit et/ou de faciliter son application suivant un trajet prédéterminé.The present invention relates to a new packaging device and application to improve comfort when applying the product and / or facilitate its application along a predetermined route.

Le dispositif selon l'invention comporte, de façon connue en soi, un récipient ayant une partie compressible et un embout de distribution, et se caractérise par le fait qu'il comporte des première et deuxième surfaces d'appui situées respectivement de part et d'autre de la partie compressible, afin de permettre à un utilisateur d'exercer une pression dans l'axe du récipient pour rapprocher lesdites surfaces d'appui et comprimer la partie compressible, la première surface d'appui se situant sur l'embout ou à proximité, de telle sorte que l'utilisateur puisse distribuer le produit en tenant le dispositif d'une main et amener cette dernière au contact de la surface sur laquelle le produit doit être appliqué.The device according to the invention comprises, in a manner known per se, a container having a compressible part and a dispensing nozzle, and is characterized by the fact that it has first and second bearing surfaces located respectively on the side and on the other side of the compressible part, in order to allow a user to exercise a pressure in the axis of the container to bring said bearing surfaces together and compress the compressible part, the first bearing surface being located on or near the end piece, so that the user can distribute the product by holding the device with one hand and bring the latter into contact with the surface on which the product is to be applied.

Grâce à l'invention, l'utilisateur peut contrôler aisément avec sa main la pression avec laquelle l'embout est appliqué sur la surface à traiter.Thanks to the invention, the user can easily control with his hand the pressure with which the nozzle is applied to the surface to be treated.

L'utilisateur peut également plus facilement déplacer d'une manière précise l'embout le long de la surface à traiter sans qu'il y ait de contact de l'embout avec celle-ci, en s'aidant de sa main.The user can also more easily move precisely the end piece along the surface to be treated without there being any contact of the end piece with it, with the help of his hand.

Ainsi, en cas d'utilisation d'un embout sécable, il est plus aisé d'éviter un contact entre l'embout et la surface à traiter.Thus, when using a breakable tip, it is easier to avoid a contact between the nozzle and the surface to be treated.

Avantageusement, la partie compressible comporte un soufflet, ce qui permet à l'utilisateur de doser d'une manière relativement aisée et précise la quantité de produit distribuée au cours de l'application.Advantageously, the compressible part comprises a bellows, which allows the user to dose the quantity of product relatively easily and precisely distributed during application.

Dans ce cas, la deuxième surface d'appui est de préférence définie par une paroi transversale sur laquelle se raccorde le soufflet.In this case, the second bearing surface is preferably defined by a transverse wall on which the bellows is connected.

Cette deuxième surface d'appui peut être formée autour d'une partie étranglée du récipient, définissant une gorge annulaire dans laquelle peuvent être placés le majeur et l'index lors de l'utilisation.This second bearing surface can be formed around a throttled part of the container, defining an annular groove in which the middle finger can be placed and index during use.

Une telle partie étranglée sert avantageusement à recevoir un obturateur amovible, de manière à former deux compartiments contenant des composants à mélanger extemporanément, par exemple deux réactifs d'une teinture capillaire.Such a choked part advantageously serves to receive a shutter removable, so as to form two compartments containing components to mix extemporaneously, for example two reagents of a hair dye.

D'une manière générale, lorsque deux composants sont utilisés, l'obturateur est disposé de manière à former deux compartiments contenant chacun un composant.Generally, when two components are used, the shutter is arranged to form two compartments each containing a component.

Avantageusement, le dispositif comporte des moyens d'activation permettant de déplacer l'obturateur au moment de la première utilisation afin de permettre aux composants de se mélanger.Advantageously, the device includes activation means allowing move the shutter when using it for the first time to allow components to mix.

Ces moyens d'activation peuvent être réalisés de diverses manières.These activation means can be produced in various ways.

Dans une réalisation particulière, les moyens d'activation comportent une tige solidaire de l'embout de distribution.In a particular embodiment, the activation means comprise a rod secured to the dispensing nozzle.

Cette tige peut être agencée pour exercer une poussée sur l'obturateur, ce dernier étant disposé dans la partie étranglée du récipient de manière à être délogé par une pression exercée par la tige.This rod can be arranged to exert a thrust on the shutter, this the latter being disposed in the constricted part of the container so as to be dislodged by a pressure exerted by the rod.

La tige peut également être munie de moyens d'accrochage aptes à s'encliqueter sur un relief de l'obturateur lorsque la tige est rapprochée de ce dernier.The rod can also be provided with hooking means suitable for snap onto a relief of the shutter when the rod is close to the latter.

L'obturateur est alors disposé dans l'étranglement de manière à être délogé par une traction exercée par la tige. The shutter is then placed in the constriction so as to be dislodged by traction exerted by the rod.

Dans une réalisation particulière, le récipient est formé par l'assemblage de deux contenants, l'un comportant une cheminée et l'autre comportant un col apte à s'engager dans cette cheminée, l'obturateur étant positionné dans cette dernière de manière être éjecté lors de l'assemblage des deux contenants et permettre aux composants de se mélanger.In a particular embodiment, the container is formed by the assembly of two containers, one with a chimney and the other with a neck suitable for engage in this chimney, the shutter being positioned in the latter of way to be ejected when assembling the two containers and allow the components to mix.

Le récipient peut encore être formé par deux contenants assemblés de manière à pouvoir tourner l'un par rapport à l'autre et le dispositif être agencé de manière à ce que l'entraínement en rotation de l'un des contenants par rapport à l'autre provoque le déplacement de l'obturateur et la mise en communication des contenants.The container can also be formed by two containers assembled so to be able to rotate relative to each other and the device to be arranged so that the rotational drive of one of the containers relative to the other causes the moving the shutter and placing the containers in communication.

L'obturateur peut encore être disposé dans l'étranglement précité de manière à être éjecté par une surpression créée à l'intérieur du récipient par une déformation de la partie compressible.The shutter can also be arranged in the aforementioned constriction so as to be ejected by an overpressure created inside the container by a deformation of the compressible part.

L'embout peut comporter un canal de sortie excentré et la première surface d'appui se situer dans l'axe du récipient.The tip may have an eccentric outlet channel and the first surface support is located in the axis of the container.

L'embout peut comporter un canal de sortie excentré et la première surface sensiblement parallèle à l'axe du récipient ou en variante dans une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire à celui-ci.The tip may have an eccentric outlet channel and the first surface substantially parallel to the axis of the container or alternatively in a direction substantially perpendicular to it.

Dans une réalisation particulière, le dispositif comporte un organe de réglage permettant de modifier la course de compression de la partie compressible selon la quantité de produit devant être distribuée.In a particular embodiment, the device comprises an adjustment member allowing to modify the compression stroke of the compressible part according to the amount of product to be dispensed.

L'embout de distribution est alors avantageusement porté par l'organe de réglage.The dispensing nozzle is then advantageously carried by the setting.

L'embout peut comporter plusieurs canaux de sortie.The nozzle can have several output channels.

Dans ce cas, l'embout comporte avantageusement une paroi définissant la première surface d'appui située dans l'axe du récipient.In this case, the end piece advantageously comprises a wall defining the first support surface located in the axis of the container.

L'embout de distribution peut encore être articulé sur l'organe de réglage et ce dernier comporter une paroi permettant de masquer l'orifice de sortie de l'embout lorsque ce dernier est dans une première position relativement à l'organe de réglage, l'embout pouvant prendre, lorsque l'utilisateur appuie sur la première surface d'appui, une deuxième position dans laquelle l'orifice de sortie n'est plus masqué par ladite paroi.The dispensing nozzle can also be articulated on the adjusting member and this the latter include a wall making it possible to hide the outlet orifice of the nozzle when the latter is in a first position relative to the adjustment member, the end piece may take, when the user presses on the first bearing surface, a second position in which the outlet orifice is no longer masked by said wall.

L'organe de réglage comporte, dans une réalisation particulière, un orifice de sortie entouré par une lèvre annulaire s'engageant dans un logement de l'embout. The adjustment member comprises, in a particular embodiment, an orifice outlet surrounded by an annular lip engaging in a housing of the nozzle.

De préférence, l'organe de réglage est fixé de manière réglable sur un col du récipient.Preferably, the adjusting member is fixed in an adjustable manner on a neck of the container.

L'invention a encore pour objet l'utilisation d'un dispositif tel que précité, tête en bas, c'est-à-dire avec l'embout dirigé vers le bas.The invention also relates to the use of a device as mentioned above, head at the bottom, that is to say with the tip facing down.

La pièce de réglage 150 comporte une jupe extérieure 151 agencée pour se visser sur le filetage 132 et munie à son extrémité inférieure d'un bossage 152 apte à franchir par déformation élastique le bossage 134 précité et à empêcher ensuite à la jupe extérieure 151 d'être complètement dévissée, le bossage 152 venant en appui sur le bossage 134.The adjustment piece 150 comprises an outer skirt 151 arranged to be screw on the thread 132 and provided at its lower end with a boss 152 suitable for cross the above-mentioned boss 134 by elastic deformation and then prevent the skirt 151 to be completely unscrewed, the boss 152 coming to bear on the boss 134.

La pièce de réglage 150 comporte également une jupe intérieure 160 comprenant une partie supérieure 161 agencée pour s'appliquer de manière étanche sur la surface radialement intérieure du col 131 et une partie inférieure 163 ajourée longitudinalement, dont l'extrémité inférieure 164 peut venir en appui contre la paroi transversale 126 lorsque le soufflet 125 est comprimé.The adjustment piece 150 also includes an inner skirt 160 comprising an upper part 161 arranged to be applied in a sealed manner on the radially inner surface of the neck 131 and a perforated lower part 163 longitudinally, the lower end 164 of which can bear against the wall transverse 126 when the bellows 125 is compressed.

Les jupes extérieure 151 et intérieure 160 se raccordent à une paroi transversale 170 qui comporte un orifice 171 pour la sortie du produit, entouré par une lèvre annulaire 172, d'axe parallèle à l'axe X du récipient.The outer 151 and inner 160 skirts are connected to a wall transverse 170 which has an orifice 171 for the outlet of the product, surrounded by a annular lip 172, of axis parallel to the axis X of the container.

L'embout 140 comporte un logement 141 dans lequel s'engage la lèvre annulaire 172, ce logement 141 communiquant avec un canal de sortie 142 permettant de distribuer le produit.The tip 140 includes a housing 141 in which the lip engages annular 172, this housing 141 communicating with an outlet channel 142 making it possible to distribute the product.

Ce canal de sortie 142 débouche sur la surface latérale de l'embout 140.This outlet channel 142 opens onto the lateral surface of the nozzle 140.

Un ergot 141a fait saillie dans le fond du logement 141 pour obturer le passage défini par la lèvre annulaire 172 lorsque l'embout est dans sa position de fermeture.A lug 141a projects into the bottom of the housing 141 to close off the passage defined by the annular lip 172 when the endpiece is in its position closing.

La pièce de réglage 150 comporte, au-dessus de la paroi transversale 170, une paroi périphérique 173 d'axe X, pourvue d'une ouverture 180 du côté opposé au canal de sortie 142, afin de permettre à l'utilisateur d'appuyer avec son pouce sur une surface d'appui 175 définie par l'embout 140 du côté de cette ouverture.The adjustment piece 150 comprises, above the transverse wall 170, a peripheral wall 173 of axis X, provided with an opening 180 on the side opposite the channel of outlet 142, to allow the user to press their thumb on a surface support 175 defined by the end piece 140 on the side of this opening.

L'embout 140 est articulé sur la paroi périphérique 173 de sorte que lorsque l'utilisateur appuie sur la surface 175, laquelle constitue une première surface d'appui au sens de l'invention, l'embout 140 bascule et le canal de sortie 142 se positionne au-dessus de la paroi périphérique 173, comme illustré sur la figure 12.The end piece 140 is articulated on the peripheral wall 173 so that when the user presses on the surface 175, which constitutes a first bearing surface on the sense of the invention, the tip 140 rocks and the outlet channel 142 is positioned above of the peripheral wall 173, as illustrated in FIG. 12.

On comprend qu'en vissant plus ou moins la pièce de réglage 150 sur le col 131, on agit sur la distance d séparant l'extrémité inférieure 164 de la jupe intérieure 163 de la paroi transversale 126 et l'on peut modifier la course de compression axiale du soufflet 125.We understand that by screwing more or less the adjustment piece 150 on the neck 131, the distance d between the lower end 164 and the inner skirt 163 is acted on of the transverse wall 126 and the axial compression stroke of the bellows 125.

Le col 131 peut être gradué extérieurement, afin de permettre à l'utilisateur de positionner précisément la pièce de réglage 150 par rapport au col 131.The collar 131 can be graduated externally, in order to allow the user to precisely position the adjustment piece 150 relative to the neck 131.

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.

Le dispositif peut en particulier contenir plus de deux composants.The device may in particular contain more than two components.

La partie compressible du récipient pourrait être formée par une paroi déformable conformée autrement qu'en soufflet.The compressible part of the container could be formed by a wall deformable conformed other than by bellows.

Le dispositif selon l'invention pourrait comporter en outre des moyens de compression permettant de transformer une pression exercée dans l'axe du récipient dans deux directions opposées en une pression dans une direction différente sur le récipient.The device according to the invention could also include means for compression allowing to transform a pressure exerted in the axis of the container in two opposite directions by pressing in a different direction on the container.

On peut donner à l'embout de distribution d'autres formes encore que celles qui ont été représentées sur le dessin.We can give the dispensing nozzle other shapes than those which have been shown in the drawing.

A titre d'exemple, on a représenté en coupe axiale, sur la figure 13, un dispositif 140 qui diffère de celui représenté à la figure 1 par le fait que l'embout 17 est remplacé par un embout 141 qui comporte deux canaux de distribution 142, définis par des parties coniques 143.By way of example, there is shown in axial section, in FIG. 13, a device 140 which differs from that shown in FIG. 1 in that the end piece 17 is replaced by a nozzle 141 which has two distribution channels 142, defined by conical parts 143.

L'embout 141 comporte une tige 26 et des pattes 27.The endpiece 141 comprises a rod 26 and lugs 27.

La région de paroi 146 de l'embout située dans l'axe X du récipient entre les deux parties coniques 143 sert de première surface d'appui 145.The wall region 146 of the nozzle situated in the axis X of the container between the two conical parts 143 serve as the first bearing surface 145.

L'écartement entre les deux parties coniques 143 est suffisant pour permettre à l'utilisateur d'appuyer avec son pouce sur l'embout 141.The spacing between the two conical parts 143 is sufficient to allow the user to press the tip 141 with his thumb.

Les deux parties coniques 143 peuvent agir à la manière d'un peigne lorsque l'embout est amené au contact ou à proximité du cuir chevelu.The two conical parts 143 can act like a comb when the tip is brought into contact with or near the scalp.
