  • the coupling member may comprise two housings arranged opposite one the other.
  • the coupling member may include at least one housing configured to be able to accept and frictionally hold the capsule of one of the containers. So he is when this closure capsule carries an applicator member, it is possible to use the coupling member as a gripping member, which can allow handling of the applicator member easier than with the closure cap only, in particular when the axial dimension of the latter is not very large.
  • the coupling member may include at least one housing configured to be able to accept and frictionally hold the body of one of the containers.
  • the coupling member may be able to combine two containers of types and / or different shapes, which offers many aesthetic possibilities and can allow the use of a single coupling member for a whole range of containers with different shapes or containing different products, for example.
  • the coupling member may have an elasticity allowing it to adapt to the shape of the body or the capsule of the receptacles it accommodates.
  • the coupling member can be formed, in a particular implementation of the invention, by a single piece molded from an elastically material deformable, for example an elastomer.
  • the coupling member may also include a foam.
  • the coupling member may have a non-slip outer surface, for example example due to the choice of a flexible and / or rough material and / or the presence of reliefs on its surface.
  • the coupling member can have a substantially cylindrical outer surface, of revolution or not.
  • the form of the coupling member may still be different.
  • the coupling member in the absence of a container engaged inside, may have an outer surface having a cross section passing through a minimum between its two axial ends.
  • the organ coupling may have an external diabolo shape, for example.
  • the coupling member may include a bellows-shaped part.
  • One of the housings may have a larger opening than the other housing, for example to accommodate two containers of different dimensions.
  • One of the dwellings may have an internal layout allowing to evacuate the air during the introduction of the corresponding container into this housing.
  • Such an arrangement can make it possible, for example, to prevent air from being trapped in the corresponding housing when a container is engaged inside of this one.
  • the housing can for example comprise at least one groove parallel to the direction of introduction of the container.
  • the coupling member may for example include a thread and / or at least one lateral orifice opening into one of the housings.
  • the coupling member can comprise at least one stop against which can come to bear at least one of the containers, at the end of its introduction into the coupling.
  • At least one of the containers can come, whether such a stop exists or not, in support against the coupling member by a shoulder of the capsule or of the body, by example.
  • a wall can separate the two housings of the coupling member. This wall may, if necessary, make the accommodation non-communicating.
  • At least one of the receptacles can accommodate an application member integral with the corresponding closure cap.
  • At least one of the containers may include a wringer, for example a wringer with a foam block.
  • At least one of the housings may have a rough interior surface, suitable for frictionally retaining the body or the capsule of a container, in particular a surface interior with bumps or streaks.
  • the coupling member can be transparent or translucent.
  • the organ of coupling can be configured to produce optically variable effects, for example goniochromatic, visible from the outside.
  • the products contained in the two containers assembled using the coupling may be different.
  • Another object of the invention is a coupling comprising a tubular body defining at its opposite axial ends two dwellings each configured to allow at least partially to engage a container and retain it by friction, the housings being non-communicating and / or the coupling comprising at least one end of introduction stop for at least one of the receptacles, arranged between the housings, this stop being produced otherwise than by a relief in the body, and / or the coupling member being made of elastomer.
  • the coupling member can constitute a gripping member for the user when applying the product.
  • FIG. 1 There is shown in Figures 1 and 2 a device 1 comprising two containers 2 and 3 joined by a coupling piece 4.
  • Each container 2 or 3 comprises, as can be seen in particular on the FIG. 2, a body 5 containing a product P.
  • Each body 5 comprises, in the example illustrated, a base part 6 surmounted by an added part 7 defining the neck 8 of the container and which can if necessary serve as a support for a wringer 9, constituted for example by a block of foam.
  • Each container 2 or 3 also includes a closure capsule 10, comprising a mounting skirt 11 configured to be screwed onto the neck 8.
  • Each closure capsule 10 serves as a gripping member to an organ application 12 immersing in the product P inside the base part 6 when the container is closed, the applicator member being connected by a rod 15 to the capsule of closure 10.
  • Each closure capsule 10 has an outer surface having a general shape of a flattened dome at the top.

  • the coupling member 4 comprises two housings 20 and 21 leading to opposite ends, to accommodate receptacles 2 and 3 respectively.
  • the housings 20 and 21 are configured to be able to accommodate the closure capsules 10 of the containers 2 and 3.
  • the housings 20 and 21 are defined by a wall 22 of the coupling member 4, of general tubular shape with axis X and are non-communicating, being separated by a wall 23 transverse extending perpendicular to the X axis.
  • the coupling member 4 is made in one piece in the example considered, in an elastomeric material, for example by injection molding.
  • the tubular wall 22 is thus able to expand elastically when the capsules are introduced. closure 10 in housings 20 and 21.
  • the dimensions of the housings 20 and 21 are chosen so that the closure capsules 10 are retained by friction inside the coupling member 4 with sufficient force to avoid unwanted separation of one of the containers and of the coupling member, in particular during the transport of the device 1, in a handbag for example.
  • the user unscrews one of the closure capsules 10, without removing the latter from the corresponding housing of the member coupling 4, and can then use the coupling member 4 and, if necessary, also of the body 5 of the remaining container as a gripping member during application of the product, as illustrated in Figure 3.
  • the coupling member 4 can allow, thanks to its size, a good grip.
  • its outer surface may have non-slip properties.
  • the coupling member can have other forms still, without that sort of the scope of the present invention, as will now be described with reference in Figures 4 to 16.
  • the two housings 20 and 21 can in particular be communicating, as illustrated in Figure 4, this communication can be obtained for example by deletion of the transverse wall 23 from the example of FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the coupling member can have, in the absence of containers, a generally tubular shape, with a cylindrical outer surface of revolution.
  • the housings 20 and 21 can be communicating but with, for example, at least one stop 26 made between them, against which the containers can come to bear at the end of their introduction into the coupling member 4.
  • This stop 26 can for example be in the form of an annular rib projecting from the inner surface of the tubular wall 22. It can be seen in FIG. 5 that the stop 26 is not produced by a relief hollow of the tubular wall 22.
  • FIG. 6 represents the coupling member 4 of FIG. 5 in which there is inserted a closure capsule 10. The latter bears against the stop 26 and the coupling member 4, elastically deformable, is slightly deformed to match the shape of the closure cap 10.
  • the housings 20 and 21 can have different shapes, such as illustrated in Figure 7.
  • the housings 20 and 21 may have different depths and / or dimensions, measured transversely to the X axis.
  • the thickness of the wall which laterally delimits each housing 20 and 21 can be constant or not when moving along the X axis and / or around the X axis, and be the same or not for housing 20 and 21.
  • FIG. 8 shows a coupling member 4 whose external surface has a general shape of a diabolo, concave outwards
  • FIG. 9 a coupling member 4 whose external surface has a general shape of a rugby ball, being convex towards the outside.
  • At least one of the housings 20 and 21 may have reliefs, in particular bosses or ribs intended to increase friction between the container and the coupling or give increased flexibility to accommodate containers of very shaped varied.
