  • the lid 308 may be provided with a sealing lip 312.
  • the housing can be supplied with product by other means than a piston, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
  • the housing in which the applicator element is received may have a recess, as is the case for example of the device 400 shown in FIG. figure 27 .
  • This device 400 comprises a housing 401 having a bottom wall 402 arranged to form a recess 403.
  • At least one port 404 may open into the recess 403, as shown.
  • the applicator member 408 may be attached to a cover 406, such cover may include a sealing lip 407, and screwable to the container 410, as shown in FIG. figure 28 .
  • the applicator element can engage in the recess 403, as can be seen on the figure 28 .
  • the front face 425 of the applicator element may come into contact with the bottom of the recess or not.
  • Such a pumping effect can facilitate the loading of the application element into product. It can also allow the applicator element to use small holes 404, while having enough product delivered through the pumping effect. The fact that the holes 404 are small can reduce the risk of product leakage.
  • the invention makes it possible to provide the user with the same container, in the form given to the application element, different sensations, these sensations depending in particular on the amount of product accumulating locally on the element d 'application.
  • the wall of the housing may be in a fixed axial position relative to the container, as is the case of many embodiments described above, or not.
  • the wall of the container may be rigid or flexible.
  • the wall of the housing may be at least partially porous, for example comprising a porous material.
  • the applicator element is preferably compressible but may be non-compressible, particularly when the wall of the housing is flexible.
  • the application element can be flocked to the surface, especially when it is non-compressible.
