Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de conditionnement d'un produit, notamment un produit cosmétique solide, sous forme d'échantillon.The present invention relates to a device for packaging a product, in particular a solid cosmetic product, in the form of a sample.

Il est fréquent de distribuer des échantillons de produit cosmétique dans des magazines, en les associant par exemple à une page publicitaire. Pour conditionner les produits cosmétiques sous forme d'échantillon, on utilise notamment des tubes ou des flacons de dimensions réduites. Cependant, de tels conditionnements peuvent difficilement être distribués dans des magazines à des fins publicitaires du fait de leur taille. D'autres conditionnements, comme par exemple les sachets qui contiennent notamment des produits liquides ou crémeux ou encore des lingettes imprégnées de produits liquides peuvent plus facilement être insérés dans des magazines. Néanmoins, les sachets peuvent difficilement contenir des produits solides, comme par exemple des poudres compactées.It is common to distribute cosmetic product samples in magazines, for example by associating them with an advertising page. For condition cosmetic products as a sample, we use in particular tubes or bottles of reduced dimensions. However, from such packaging can hardly be distributed in magazines for advertising purposes due to their size. Other packaging, such as for example sachets which contain in particular liquid products or cream or wipes impregnated with liquid products can more easily be inserted into magazines. However, the sachets can hardly contain solid products, such as powders compacted.

Les documents FR 2 740 013, US 2,061,139, FR 2 821 061 et US 5,161,688 décrivent des conditionnements pour un échantillon de produit cosmétique solide ou pâteux qui peuvent être insérés dans une publication. Les conditionnements sont constitués d'une plaque qui comporte une cavité centrale dans laquelle est contenu le produit, via une coupelle ou directement dans la cavité. Aucun de ces documents ne décrit un conditionnement muni d'un applicateur. Or, il peut être intéressant de fournir avec l'échantillon de produit un applicateur permettant à l'utilisatrice d'appliquer le produit.The documents FR 2 740 013, US 2,061,139, FR 2 821 061 and US 5,161,688 describe packaging for a sample of cosmetic product solid or pasty which can be inserted in a publication. The packaging consists of a plate which has a cavity central in which the product is contained, via a cup or directly in the cavity. None of these documents describes a packaging with an applicator. However, it may be interesting to provide with the sample of produces an applicator allowing the user to apply the product.

La demande de brevet WO88/07825 décrit ce type de conditionnement. En particulier, le conditionnement est constitué par deux plaques de type carte bancaire articulées entre elles, l'une d'entre elles étant traversée par plusieurs cavités qui contiennent un produit cosmétique. Cette plaque contient également un logement sous forme de fente allongée qui comporte un fond et qui est prévu pour recevoir un applicateur. L'applicateur est logé à l'intérieur de la fente dans laquelle il est inséré en force. Il est alors nécessaire de prévoir des moyens pour maintenir l'applicateur à l'intérieur de la plaque. En outre, il est relativement difficile d'utiliser une plaque peu épaisse sans que l'applicateur n'augmente l'épaisseur totale du conditionnement une fois logé dans la fente. De plus, l'applicateur doit être réalisé séparément du reste de la plaque, puis introduit dans la fente ce qui complique les étapes du procédé de fabrication qui nécessite un approvisionnement séparé en applicateur. Or, il est préférable pour les conditionnements du type échantillon de limiter le nombre d'étapes dans la réalisation du conditionnement afin de réduire au maximum le coût de fabrication.Patent application WO88 / 07825 describes this type of packaging. In particular, the packaging consists of two card-type plates articulated between them, one of them being crossed by several cavities which contain a cosmetic product. This plate also contains a housing in the form of an elongated slot which has a bottom and which is designed to receive an applicator. The applicator is housed inside the slot in which it is inserted by force. It is then necessary to provide means for holding the applicator inside the plate. In addition, it is relatively difficult to use a thin plate without the applicator does not increase the total thickness of the packaging once housed in the slot. In addition, the applicator must be produced separately from the rest of the plate, then introduced into the slot which complicates the stages of the manufacturing process which requires separate supply of applicator. Now it is better for sample type packaging, limit the number of steps in carrying out the packaging in order to minimize the cost of manufacturing.

Aussi, est-ce un des objets de l'invention que de réaliser un dispositif de conditionnement d'un produit, notamment cosmétique, qui ne présente pas les inconvénients de la technique antérieure.Also, is it an object of the invention to provide a device for packaging of a product, in particular cosmetic, which does not have the disadvantages of the prior art.

C'est en particulier un objet de l'invention que de réaliser un dispositif qui soit peu encombrant tout en se rapprochant d'un boítier de maquillage par exemple.It is in particular an object of the invention to produce a device which is space-saving while approaching a makeup case for example.

C'est aussi un autre objet de l'invention que de réaliser un tel dispositif qui soit simple à réaliser et à faible coût.It is also another object of the invention to produce such a device which is simple to make and low cost.

Selon l'invention, ces objets peuvent être atteints en réalisant un dispositif de conditionnement d'un produit, notamment de maquillage, comprenant un support de forme généralement plane sous forme de plaque comportant deux faces, ledit support comportant au moins une cavité dont la profondeur est inférieure ou égale à l'épaisseur de la plaque, ladite cavité débouchant sur au moins une des faces du support par une première ouverture, ladite cavité contenant le produit. Le dispositif peut se caractériser en ce qu'il comporte un organe d'application du produit, relié au support par une zone de jonction apte à se rompre afin de désolidariser l'organe d'application du support.According to the invention, these objects can be achieved by producing a device for packaging of a product, in particular make-up, comprising a generally planar support in the form of a plate comprising two faces, said support comprising at least one cavity whose depth is less than or equal to the thickness of the plate, said cavity opening onto at at least one of the faces of the support by a first opening, said cavity containing the product. The device can be characterized in that it includes a product application member, connected to the support by a junction zone suitable for break in order to separate the application member from the support.

Ainsi, le dispositif contenant un produit cosmétique étant associé à un organe d'application, l'utilisatrice n'est pas obligée d'utiliser ses doigts pour se maquiller, ou bien de prévoir un organe d'application séparé. En outre, l'organe d'application étant solidaire du support, on limite le risque de le perdre car il peut difficilement se séparer du support sans que l'utilisatrice ne le sépare volontairement. En outre, l'organe d'application peut être réalisé avec le support à partir d'une seule pièce, par exemple par moulage ou par découpage, de sorte que le procédé de fabrication est relativement simple. On s'affranchit notamment de toute étape de mise en place de l'organe d'application dans le support, étape nécessaire dans le procédé de fabrication du conditionnement décrit dans la demande de brevet WO88/07825. On peut ainsi réaliser un dispositif bon marché.Thus, the device containing a cosmetic product being associated with an organ application, the user is not obliged to use her fingers to make up, or else provide a separate application body. In addition, the organ of application being integral with the support, we limit the risk of losing it because it can hardly separate from the support without the user separating it voluntarily. In addition, the applicator member can be produced with the support. from a single piece, for example by molding or cutting, so the manufacturing process is relatively simple. We break free in particular of any step of setting up the application member in the support, necessary step in the packaging manufacturing process described in patent application WO88 / 07825. We can thus achieve a cheap device.

L'organe d'application peut être formé dans le prolongement du support et présenter une épaisseur inférieure ou égale à celle du support. On limite ainsi au maximum l'épaisseur du dispositif de sorte qu'il peut être inséré dans un magazine par exemple.The applicator member can be formed in the extension of the support and have a thickness less than or equal to that of the support. We thus limit maximum thickness of the device so that it can be inserted into a magazine for example.

L'organe d'application peut comporter une portion de préhension de forme allongée et au moins une portion applicatrice formée à une extrémité de la portion de préhension. On peut également prévoir deux portions applicatrices, chacune étant formée à une extrémité de la portion de préhension. La portion applicatrice est par exemple constituée d'une mousse, d'un matériau tissé ou non-tissé, d'un matériau floqué ou de poils. La portion applicatrice est par exemple collée sur l'organe d'application. Elle peut être emmanchée sur l'extrémité de l'organe d'application. Lorsque la portion de préhension est de forme plane et qu'elle comporte deux faces, la portion applicatrice peut être sous forme de pastille, fixée par exemple sur une seule face, ou encore sur les deux.The applicator member may include a shape-gripping portion elongated and at least one applicator portion formed at one end of the grip portion. We can also provide two applicator portions, each being formed at one end of the gripping portion. The part applicator is for example made of a foam, a woven material or nonwoven, flocked material or pile. The applicator portion is by example pasted on the applicator member. It can be fitted on the end of the applicator member. When the gripping portion is flat shape and that it has two faces, the applicator portion can be in the form of a tablet, fixed for example on one side only, or on the of them.

La zone de jonction peut être constituée d'une zone d'épaisseur inférieure à l'épaisseur du support. Elle peut s'étendre de façon continue le long de l'organe d'application. La zone de jonction peut également être constituée de plusieurs pattes, espacées le long de l'organe d'application, les pattes pouvant être de même épaisseur que le support ou d'épaisseur inférieure. The junction zone can consist of a zone of thickness less than the thickness of the support. It can extend continuously along the organ application. The junction area can also be made up of several legs, spaced along the applicator member, the legs may be same thickness as the support or less.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, la cavité peut également déboucher sur la seconde face du support, une feuille adhésive étant fixée sur ladite face de manière à obturer la seconde ouverture afin de former le fond de la cavité.According to a particular embodiment, the cavity can also open out on the second face of the support, an adhesive sheet being fixed on said face so as to close the second opening in order to form the bottom of the cavity.

La feuille adhésive peut être collée de manière telle qu'elle délimite, au moins en partie, un logement prévu pour recevoir un organe d'application. La feuille adhésive constituant le fond le la cavité est utilisée pour délimiter un logement apte à recevoir un organe d'application. On limite ainsi le nombre d'éléments constitutifs du conditionnement et donc les étapes de réalisation du dispositif tout en réalisant un dispositif pouvant assurer les mêmes fonctions qu'un boítier de maquillage classique. On obtient ainsi un dispositif de conditionnement peu onéreux.The adhesive sheet can be glued in such a way that it delimits, at least in part, a housing designed to receive an application member. Leaf adhesive constituting the bottom the cavity is used to delimit a housing able to receive an application device. This limits the number of elements components of the packaging and therefore the steps for producing the device while creating a device that can perform the same functions as a box of classic makeup. This gives a little conditioning device expensive.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation, le logement peut être délimité par une portion d'extrémité de la feuille qui est enroulée sur elle-même de manière à former un logement. La portion d'extrémité enroulée sur elle-même a un bord qui peut être collé sur la feuille, le reste de la portion n'étant pas recouvert de colle.According to a first embodiment, the housing can be delimited by a end portion of the sheet which is rolled up on itself so as to form accommodation. The end portion rolled up on itself has an edge which can be stuck on the sheet, the rest of the portion not being covered with glue.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le logement peut être délimité en partie par une portion de la feuille qui n'est pas collée sur le support, et en partie par une zone du support située en regard de la portion de la feuille non collée. La zone du support délimitant en partie le logement peut être une portion d'une face du support ou alternativement la tranche du support.According to another embodiment, the housing can be delimited in part by a portion of the sheet which is not glued to the support, and partly by a area of the support located opposite the portion of the sheet that is not glued. The area of the support partially delimiting the housing can be a portion of a face of the support or alternatively the edge of the support.

La feuille adhésive peut être formée d'une ou plusieurs couches d'un matériau choisi parmi les matériaux thermoplastiques, notamment les polyoléfines ou les polyesters, et l'aluminium. La feuille adhésive peut être recouverte d'une impression, par exemple une inscription relative au produit, ou encore un motif décoratif.The adhesive sheet may be formed from one or more layers of a material chosen from thermoplastic materials, in particular polyolefins or polyesters, and aluminum.

Le dispositif selon l'invention représenté sur les figures 1 et 2 comporte un support 20 rectangulaire, de format type carte bancaire, qui comporte dans son épaisseur une cavité 21 prévue pour recevoir le produit 10. Il est bien évident que le support peut présenter toute autre forme, il peut par exemple être carré, rond, ovale, etc...The device according to the invention shown in Figures 1 and 2 includes a support 20 rectangular, of the bank card type, which includes in its thickness a cavity 21 provided for receiving the product 10. It is quite obvious that the support can have any other shape, it can for example be square, round, oval, etc ...

Le support 20 a deux faces planes et parallèles 22 et 23 de longueur L et de largeur l. La cavité 21 débouche sur une des faces 22 du support 20 par une ouverture 210. Le support 20 présente une faible épaisseur e de l'ordre du millimètre, par exemple entre 0,5 et 2 mm. Selon un exemple particulier, le support a une épaisseur de 0,8 mm. La cavité 21 a une section circulaire mais elle peut aussi être de section carrée, rectangulaire, ovale, ou de toute autre forme. La cavité est prévue pour recevoir une faible quantité de produit, par exemple 0,15 g.The support 20 has two flat and parallel faces 22 and 23 of length L and of width l. The cavity 21 opens onto one of the faces 22 of the support 20 by a opening 210. The support 20 has a small thickness e of the order of millimeter, for example between 0.5 and 2 mm. According to a particular example, the support has a thickness of 0.8 mm. The cavity 21 has a circular section but it can also be square, rectangular, oval, or any other section form. The cavity is designed to receive a small amount of product, for example example 0.15 g.

Un opercule amovible 40 est fixé sur la face 22 du support, de manière à obturer l'ouverture 210 de la cavité par laquelle l'utilisateur pourra accéder au produit. Il s'agit par exemple d'une étiquette glacée de type polyester que l'on colle sur la face supérieure du support. On choisira de préférence une étiquette transparente de façon à permettre à l'utilisateur de voir le produit présent dans le conditionnement. L'étiquette est recouverte d'un adhésif semi-permanent permettant de la maintenir correctement en contact avec la face de façon à fermer l'ouverture tout en étant facilement retirable de la face. Avantageusement, on choisira un adhésif permettant de recoller au moins une fois l'étiquette sur le support après une première ouverture. L'opercule amovible comporte une zone de préhension 41 située à la périphérie de l'étiquette de manière à former une languette facilement saisissable par l'utilisateur pour retirer l'étiquette du support.A removable cover 40 is fixed on the face 22 of the support, so as to close the opening 210 of the cavity through which the user can access the product. It is for example a glossy polyester type label which is glue on the upper side of the support. We will preferably choose a label transparent so that the user can see the product in the conditioning. The label is covered with a semi-permanent adhesive allowing it to be kept properly in contact with the face so as to close the opening while being easily removable from the face. Advantageously, we will choose an adhesive allowing to stick at least one once the label on the support after a first opening. The removable cover comprises a gripping zone 41 situated at the periphery of the label of so as to form a tongue that can be easily grasped by the user to remove the label from the support.

Un organe d'application 90 est formé dans le prolongement du support 20, le long de sa largeur l, auquel il est relié par une zone de jonction 80. L'organe d'application s'étend par exemple sur toute la largeur l du support. L'organe d'application 90 présente une faible épaisseur, identique à celle du support, et comporte deux faces planes formées chacune respectivement dans le même plan que les deux faces 22 et 23 du support. L'organe d'application comporte une portion de préhension 91 relativement allongée et de faible largeur de manière à être facilement saisie par l'utilisateur et facilement manipulable lors de l'application du produit. Une portion applicatrice 92 est formée à une extrémité 910 de la portion de préhension qui présente, par exemple, une forme circulaire. La portion applicatrice est constituée d'une pastille de mousse collée sur une face de l'extrémité 910 de la portion de préhension. On pourrait bien entendu prévoir de coller une deuxième pastille de mousse sur la deuxième face de l'extrémité 910.An applicator member 90 is formed in the extension of the support 20, the along its width l, to which it is connected by a junction zone 80. The organ application extends for example over the entire width l of the support. The organ 90 has a small thickness, identical to that of the support, and has two planar faces each formed respectively in the same plane as the two faces 22 and 23 of the support. The enforcement body includes a relatively elongated gripping portion 91 of small width so as to be easily entered by the user and easily manipulated during of product application. An applicator portion 92 is formed at a end 910 of the gripping portion which has, for example, a shape circular. The applicator portion consists of a glued foam tablet on one face of the end 910 of the gripping portion. We could well heard plan to stick a second foam pad on the second face of the end 910.

La zone de jonction 80 est destinée à être rompue afin de désolidariser de manière irréversible l'organe d'application du support. Elle est réalisée par des pattes 81, par exemple au nombre de trois, ayant la même épaisseur e que le support et l'organe d'application. Les pattes 81 ont une forme triangulaire, leur base étant reliée au support et leur sommet à l'organe d'application. La longueur des pattes, mesurée le long de la longueur L du support, est relativement faible, par exemple d'environ 2 mm, de manière à réaliser un ensemble relativement compact. Elles sont en outre espacées les unes des autres le long de la portion de préhension de manière à correctement maintenir l'organe d'application solidaire du support. Les pattes 81 ont une largeur, mesurée à leur base le long de la largeur l du support, relativement faible également, par exemple d'environ 2 mm, de sorte qu'elles peuvent facilement se rompre lorsque l'utilisatrice les plient autour d'un axe parallèle à la largeur du support. The junction zone 80 is intended to be broken in order to separate from irreversibly the support application member. It is carried out by legs 81, for example three in number, having the same thickness e as the support and application body. The legs 81 have a triangular shape, their base being connected to the support and their top to the application member. The length of the legs, measured along the length L of the support, is relatively small, for example about 2 mm, so as to achieve a relatively compact set. They are further apart from each other others along the grip portion so as to properly maintain the application member secured to the support. The legs 81 have a width, measured at their base along the width l of the support, relatively small also, for example about 2 mm, so that they can easily break when the user folds them around an axis parallel to the width of the support.

L'ensemble du dispositif est par exemple obtenu de moulage d'un matériau thermoplastique à partir d'une seule pièce, la pastille de mousse étant collée après formation de l'ensemble. Alternativement, le dispositif peut être réalisé par découpage d'une plaque d'un matériau thermoplastique. Le matériau thermoplastique peut par exemple être un chlorure de polyvinyle (PVC), un polypropylène ou un polyéthylène téréphtalate (PET).The entire device is for example obtained by molding a material thermoplastic from a single piece, the foam pad being glued after formation of the whole. Alternatively, the device can be produced by cutting a plate from a thermoplastic material. The material thermoplastic can for example be a polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a polypropylene or polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

Le dispositif représenté sur la figure 3 diffère de celui qui vient d'être décrit en ce que la zone de jonction 80 est cette fois formée par une portion 82 dont l'épaisseur est inférieure à l'épaisseur e du support. La portion 82 a par exemple une épaisseur d'environ 0,5 mm. Cette portion 82 s'étend de façon continue tout au long de la portion de préhension 91 de l'organe d'application. En outre, la portion applicatrice est cette fois formée par une touffe de poils 93 collée à l'extrémité 910 de la portion de préhension.The device shown in Figure 3 differs from that just described in what the junction area 80 is this time formed by a portion 82 of which the thickness is less than the thickness e of the support. Portion 82 a by example a thickness of about 0.5 mm. This portion 82 extends so continues throughout the gripping portion 91 of the application member. In addition, the applicator portion is this time formed by a tuft of hairs 93 glued to the end 910 of the gripping portion.

Pour utiliser le dispositif qui vient d'être décrit selon les deux modes de réalisation, l'utilisatrice saisit l'organe d'application 90 et le fait pivoter autour d'un axe parallèle à la largeur du support de manière à rompre la zone de jonction 80. Elle peut alors prélever du produit avec la portion applicatrice 92 ou 93, après avoir retiré l'opercule 40. Elle applique ensuite le produit prélevé sur la zone du visage souhaitée.To use the device which has just been described according to the two modes of embodiment, the user grasps the applicator member 90 and rotates it around an axis parallel to the width of the support so as to break the area of junction 80. It can then take product with the applicator portion 92 or 93, after having removed the cover 40. It then applies the product taken from the desired facial area.

Le dispositif représenté sur les figures 4 et 5 comporte un support identique à celui qui vient d'être décrit si ce n'est que la cavité 21 débouche sur chaque face 22 et 23 par respectivement deux ouvertures 210 et 211. Un film adhésif 50 est collé sur la face 23 de manière à obturer la seconde ouverture 211 de la cavité 21. Ce film adhésif a un pouvoir collant plus important que l'opercule amovible 40 car il est destiné à ne pas être retiré du support. Il constitue ainsi le fond du conditionnement. A l'opposé de la face adhésive du film adhésif 50, on peut prévoir une impression, notamment un motif décoratif, ou encore une inscription relative au produit contenu dans la cavité. The device shown in Figures 4 and 5 has a support identical to the one which has just been described except that the cavity 21 leads to each face 22 and 23 by two openings 210 and 211 respectively. An adhesive film 50 is bonded to the face 23 so as to close the second opening 211 of the cavity 21. This adhesive film has a greater adhesive power than the seal. removable 40 because it is intended not to be removed from the support. It thus constitutes the background of the packaging. Opposite the adhesive face of the adhesive film 50, we may include a print, in particular a decorative pattern, or even a inscription relating to the product contained in the cavity.

Le dispositif comporte en outre cette fois un couvercle 30 également rectangulaire et qui a deux faces planes 31 et 32 parallèles, une première face 31 étant destinée à venir reposer sur la face 22 du support. Le couvercle 30 présente également une faible épaisseur, de l'ordre d'environ 0,8 mm par exemple. La face 31 peut être recouverte d'une étiquette miroir 70. Le couvercle 30 est articulé au support 20 au moyen du film adhésif 50 qui recouvre en partie la face 32 du couvercle sur laquelle il est collé de sorte qu'il constitue une charnière entre le support 20 et le couvercle 30.The device further comprises this time a cover 30 also rectangular and which has two plane faces 31 and 32 parallel, a first face 31 being intended to come to rest on the face 22 of the support. The cover 30 also has a small thickness, of the order of about 0.8 mm per example. The face 31 can be covered with a mirror label 70. The cover 30 is articulated to the support 20 by means of the adhesive film 50 which partially covers the face 32 of the cover on which it is glued so that it constitutes a hinge between the support 20 and the cover 30.

L'organe d'application 90 est formé dans le prolongement du support 20, mais cette fois le long de sa longueur L. En outre, la portion de préhension 91 est cette fois formée par une tige de section circulaire et la portion applicatrice a la forme d'un manchon 94. Ce manchon est enfilé à l'extrémité 910 de la portion de préhension sur laquelle il est collé. Le manchon est par exemple réalisé en une couche de mousse floquée. La zone de jonction 80 est identique à celle du dispositif de la figure 3, à savoir une zone d'épaisseur inférieure à l'épaisseur du support et de l'organe d'application.The applicator member 90 is formed in the extension of the support 20, but this time along its length L. In addition, the gripping portion 91 is this time formed by a rod of circular section and the applicator portion has the shape of a sleeve 94. This sleeve is threaded at the end 910 of the portion grip on which it is stuck. The sleeve is for example made of a layer of flocked foam. The junction area 80 is identical to that of the device of FIG. 3, namely an area of thickness less than the thickness of the support and of the application member.

Pour réaliser le dispositif, le couvercle 30 peut être réalisé avec le support et l'organe d'application à partir d'une seule pièce, par exemple par moulage d'un matériau thermoplastique, le support et le couvercle étant séparés par une rainure. On obture ensuite de manière amovible la première ouverture 210 au moyen de l'opercule amovible 40 que l'on colle sur la face 22 du support 20 et on colle l'étiquette miroir 70 sur la face 31 du couvercle. On introduit ensuite le produit cosmétique 10 sous forme de poudre, par la seconde ouverture 211, dans la cavité 21 que l'on compacte de manière à former une pastille de produit. Selon une variante, on peut également couler un produit semi-liquide ou visqueux dans la cavité. On ferme la seconde ouverture 211 par le film adhésif 50 en le pressant sur la face 22 du support de manière à former le fond du conditionnement. Au moment de coller le film adhésif 50 sur la face 32 du couvercle, on plie la plaque le long de la rainure de manière à désolidariser le support 20 et le couvercle 30 qui sont aussitôt resolidarisés par le film adhésif 50. To make the device, the cover 30 can be made with the support and the applicator member from a single piece, for example by molding a thermoplastic material, the support and the cover being separated by a groove. The first opening 210 is then removably closed at means of the removable cover 40 which is glued to the face 22 of the support 20 and we stick the mirror label 70 on the face 31 of the cover. Then we introduce the cosmetic product 10 in powder form, through the second opening 211, in the cavity 21 which is compacted so as to form a pellet of product. Alternatively, a semi-liquid product can also be poured or viscous in the cavity. We close the second opening 211 with the film adhesive 50 by pressing it on the face 22 of the support so as to form the bottom conditioning. When gluing the adhesive film 50 on the face 32 of the cover, the plate is folded along the groove so as to separate the support 20 and cover 30 which are immediately re-attached by the adhesive film 50.

Le dispositif représenté sur les figures 6 à 8 diffère de celui de la figure 4 en ce qu'il ne comporte pas de couvercle et que le film adhésif 50 comporte une portion d'extrémité 51 qui est enroulée sur elle-même de manière à former un logement tubulaire 100. Cette portion d'extrémité a une largeur inférieure à la largeur du reste du film. Elle doit être suffisamment large pour pouvoir correctement maintenir l'organe d'application qu'elle est destinée à recevoir. En outre, cette portion est en partie désadhésivée et ne comporte qu'un bord 510 enduit d'adhésif qui est collé sur le verso du film adhésif de manière à fixer le logement 100.The device shown in Figures 6 to 8 differs from that of Figure 4 in that that it has no cover and that the adhesive film 50 has a end portion 51 which is wound on itself so as to form a tubular housing 100. This end portion has a width less than the width of the rest of the film. It must be wide enough to be able to correctly maintain the application member that it is intended to receive. In in addition, this portion is partially loosened and has only one edge 510 coated with adhesive which is glued to the back of the adhesive film so as to fix the housing 100.

Pour utiliser le dispositif, l'utilisatrice doit rompre la zone de jonction 80 afin de désolidariser l'organe d'application du support et enlever l'opercule 40 afin de pouvoir prélever le produit au moyen de la portion applicatrice 94. Elle peut ensuite appliquer le produit, par exemple sur son visage. Après utilisation, l'organe d'application peut être logé dans le logement tubulaire 100, comme on l'a représenté à la figure 8.To use the device, the user must break the junction zone 80 in order to detach the applicator member from the support and remove the cover 40 in order to be able to take the product by means of the applicator portion 94. It can then apply the product, for example on his face. After use, the applicator member can be housed in the tubular housing 100, as is represented it in figure 8.

Le dispositif illustré sur la figure 9 diffère de celui illustré sur les figures 6 à 8 en ce que la portion d'extrémité 51 de la feuille enroulée formant le logement est remplacée par une portion 53 qui n'est pas collée sur le support et qui forme avec la tranche 24 du support, le logement 100. Cette portion 53 peut être désadhésivée. La feuille 50 se prolonge en outre au-delà de la portion 53 par une portion d'extrémité 54 qui est collée sur la face 22 du support. Selon ce mode de réalisation, le logement 100 n'augmente pas l'épaisseur totale du conditionnement.The device illustrated in FIG. 9 differs from that illustrated in FIGS. 6 to 8 in that the end portion 51 of the rolled-up sheet forming the housing is replaced by a portion 53 which is not glued to the support and which forms with the edge 24 of the support, the housing 100. This portion 53 can be désadhésivée. The sheet 50 further extends beyond the portion 53 by an end portion 54 which is glued to the face 22 of the support. According to what embodiment, the housing 100 does not increase the total thickness of the conditioning.

Le dispositif illustré sur les figures 10 et 11 comporte un support 20 sensiblement identique à celui décrit en conformité avec les figures 6 à 8, qui est traversé par une cavité 21 débouchant sur chaque face 22 et 23 du support par, respectivement, les ouvertures 210 et 211. Un opercule amovible 40 obture une première ouverture 210 de manière réversible et un film adhésif 50 obture la seconde ouverture 211. Toutefois, selon ce mode de réalisation, le logement 100 est délimité par une portion 52 du film adhésif 50 qui n'est pas collée sur la face 23 du support et qui est située entre deux portions collées sur la face 23. The device illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11 comprises a support 20 substantially identical to that described in accordance with Figures 6 to 8, which is crossed by a cavity 21 opening on each face 22 and 23 of the support through, respectively, the openings 210 and 211. A removable cover 40 closes a first reversible opening 210 and an adhesive film 50 closes the second opening 211. However, according to this embodiment, the housing 100 is delimited by a portion 52 of the adhesive film 50 which is not stuck on the face 23 of the support and which is located between two portions glued on face 23.

Elle forme ainsi un demi-cylindre qui délimite, avec une portion de la face 23 du support située en regard, un logement 100 pour un organe d'application. De préférence, la portion 52 n'est pas enduite d'adhésif.It thus forms a half-cylinder which delimits, with a portion of the face 23 of the support located opposite, a housing 100 for an application member. Of preferably, the portion 52 is not coated with adhesive.

Selon ce mode de réalisation, le support ne comporte pas d'organe d'application détachable de manière irréversible par rupture d'une zone de jonction. Un organe d'application 90 est logé directement dans le logement 100. Mais il est bien évident que l'on pourrait prévoir un organe d'application solidaire du support comme dans le premier mode de réalisation.According to this embodiment, the support does not include any member irreversibly detachable application by rupture of an area of junction. An applicator member 90 is housed directly in the housing 100. But it is obvious that we could provide a joint application body of the support as in the first embodiment.

Le dispositif comporte en outre cette fois un couvercle 30 également rectangulaire et qui a deux faces planes 31 et 32 parallèles, une première face 31 étant destinée à venir reposer sur la face 22 du support. Le couvercle 30 présente également une faible épaisseur, de l'ordre d'environ 0,8 mm par exemple. Le couvercle 30 est articulé au support 20 au moyen du film adhésif 50 qui se prolonge de manière à recouvrir en partie la face 32 du couvercle sur laquelle il est collé de sorte qu'il constitue une charnière entre le support 20 et le couvercle 30.The device further comprises this time a cover 30 also rectangular and which has two plane faces 31 and 32 parallel, a first face 31 being intended to come to rest on the face 22 of the support. The cover 30 also has a small thickness, of the order of about 0.8 mm per example. The cover 30 is articulated to the support 20 by means of the adhesive film 50 which extends so as to partially cover the face 32 of the cover on which it is glued so that it constitutes a hinge between the support 20 and the cover 30.

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. It is obvious that there are variations be made without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed below.
