Definitions

  • the present invention relates to packaging devices and application of a cosmetic product, including care, and more particularly but not exclusively those intended for the application of a nail polish.
  • a device according to the preamble of claim 1 is known DE-A-10 104 042.
  • Associated applicators include a stem with a brush at one end and a closure cap having a threaded portion.
  • the height of the body of the bottle makes it possible to use a relatively long rod.
  • the height of the body of the bottle is lesser and the stem should be shorter, except to shorten the length of the bristles of the brush and lose flexibility and quality of application or increase the length of the cervix, which is embarrassing for the aesthetics.
  • the invention aims in particular to meet this need.
  • the invention it is possible to benefit from an apparent length of stem more element of relatively important application, without compromising the aesthetics of the bottle, thanks to the ring at the base of the neck.
  • the establishment of the ring can be done in a relatively easy and economical way, after the filling of the bottle.
  • thread part must be understood in a broad sense as corresponding to the part of the closure cap which carries at least one thread, this last can be made if necessary on an insert fixed in an overcap.
  • the ring can be removably connected to the insert or the overcap.
  • the ring may or may not have a thread.
  • the ring comprises at least one first relief allowing its fastening by snapping on at least one second relief made on the neck.
  • This second relief may for example comprise an annular bead and the first relief have an annular bead or teeth protruding radially on the surface inside the ring.
  • the ring may also comprise at least one relief arranged to retain by friction the ring on the collar.
  • the ring may include ribs on its inner surface.
  • the ring and the threaded portion may be made monolithically or no.
  • the ring may advantageously be made at least partially by molding of plastic material with the threaded part, in particular with the overcap when the threaded portion has an insert and an overcap.
  • the ring can be connected by bridges of breakable material at the threaded part.
  • the ring can still be arranged on the threaded part by being attached to this, the threaded portion and the ring being for example made in different molds.
  • the ring may comprise for example a relief allowing it to cooperate by interlocking with the threaded part.
  • the ring can thus not be connected to the threaded portion by bridges of breakable material.
  • the ring and the threaded part are not monolithic, they can be assembled by snapping, friction, bonding or welding for example.
  • the ring and the threaded part can still be connected to each other by other fastening means.
  • the neck may comprise at least a first anti-rotation relief and the ring at least a second anti-rotation relief arranged to cooperate with the first relief of to prevent the ring from rotating relative to the neck when unscrewing the capsule closure leading to the separation of the threaded portion and the ring.
  • This first relief made on the bottle, can be arranged to allow its crossing by the second relief during initial screwing of the closure cap on vial. At least one of the first and second reliefs may comprise a ramp facilitating this crossing.
  • the immobilization in rotation of the ring on the neck can still be obtained by tightening of the ring on the neck, especially when the ring has ribs on its inner surface.
  • the neck may have at its base a cylindrical surface or a surface frustoconical widening towards the body of the bottle, on which can come in support with a some tightening the ring.
  • the ring can be decorated.
  • the bottle can be made with various shapes and in particular with a shoulder at the base of the collar.
  • the bottle may be made of glass or plastic, and in particular be in a transparent material.
  • the capacity of the bottle may be less than or equal to 10 ml, in particular less than or equal to 8 ml, for example between about 7 ml and about 5 ml.
  • the apparent length of the rod and the applicator element may for example be greater than or equal to 25 mm.
  • the apparent length of the free part of the bristles is for example greater than or equal to 12 mm.
  • the bottle may contain, for example, a product to be applied to the nails, especially a nail polish.
  • the bottle may still contain a product to be applied on the face, especially on the lips.
  • the bottle may in particular include a wringing member.
  • the application element can be flocked, especially for an application on skin or lips.
  • the length of the stem may be substantially equal to the height of the neck, the length of the stem being for example equal to 30% near the height of the neck.
  • the length of the application element may be substantially equal to the height of the body of the bottle, on which connects the neck; the length of the element application can be equal, for example, to 30% near the height of the body.
  • the collar and the ring may in particular cooperate by snapping or by friction.
  • the packaging and application device 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 comprises a bottle 2, made for example of glass or plastic, and a applicator 3 comprising a rod 4, provided at its lower end with an element application 5 such as for example a brush, and connected at its upper end to a closure cap 6, which has a threaded portion 7 and a ring 8 in part lower.
  • the rod 4 is for example a hollow rod inside which the tuft of bristles of the brush is inserted, the apparent length l of the bristles being for example 12 mm or more.
  • the rod 4 can be fixed inside the closure cap 6 so that conventionally by means of an insert which may serve to further ensure tight closure of the bottle.
  • the threaded portion 7 is intended to be screwed onto the neck 10 of the bottle 2, this neck 10 being provided with a thread 11.
  • the ring 8 is initially secured of the threaded portion 7 when the applicator 3 is put in place for the first time on the bottle 2.
  • the ring 8 can for example be made, as seen in FIG. integrally by molding plastic material with the threaded portion 7, both being connected by one or more bridges of breakable material 13. It is seen in this figure that the material bridges 13 are set back from the radially outer surface 19 of the ring 8, so as not to harm the aesthetics of the capsule.
  • the ring 8 moreover comprises in the example considered at least one first relief 15, for example a bead or teeth protruding on its surface radially inner 16, and the neck 10 of the bottle 2 comprises at its base at least a second relief 18 arranged to allow snapping on the neck of the ring 8 at the end of the screwing initial of the closure cap 6 on the bottle 2.
  • At least one anti-rotation relief 20 is made on the radially inner surface 16 of the ring 8, so as to cooperate with at least one complementary relief 21 made on the neck 10.
  • the reliefs 20 and 21 are arranged so to allow the relief 20 to cross the relief 21 during the initial screwing of the capsule of closure 6 and the reliefs 20 and 21 comprise for example for this purpose ramps 23 and 24. The latter are inclined so as to assist the relief 20 to cross the relief 21 in the screwing direction of the closure cap, the reliefs 20 and 21 preventing a new crossing in the opposite direction.
  • the threaded portion 7 separates from the ring 8, which remains permanently on the neck 10 and the user can benefit from an apparent length of rod 4 sufficient to allow a application in good conditions of the product, on the nails for example.
  • the closure cap can be made with a threaded portion 7 and a ring 8 which are connected by material bridges 13 directed substantially radially, as seen in FIG. 7, and no longer substantially axially it is represented in FIG.
  • the ring 8 and the threaded portion 7 can still be connected otherwise than by bridges of breakable material before mounting the closure cap 6 on the bottle 2.
  • FIG. 8 shows a variant embodiment which the threaded portion 7 and the ring 8 are arranged to cooperate by interlocking, the ring 8 being for example provided with an annular rib 33 adapted to engage in a shoulder housing 24 formed at the lower end of the threaded portion 7.
  • closure cap comprises an insert 40 and an overcap 41 inside which the insert 40 can be fixed.
  • the insert 40 internally comprises a thread 42 intended to allow its screwing on the neck 10 and a housing 43 for fixing on the insert 40 of the end upper 44 of the rod 4.
  • the latter comprises a collar 45 intended to bear on the slice of the neck 10 at the end of the screwing of the insert 40, in order to seal the bottle 2.
  • Overcap 41 has on its radially inner surface ribs axial means 48 intended to allow clamping of the overcap 41 on the insert 40, the two pieces being then immobile with respect to each other.
  • the ring 8 is made in the example considered in one piece with the overcap 41, being connected thereto by material bridges 13 located in the extension of ribs 48.
  • the ring 8 has on its inner surface axial ribs 50 located in the extension of the ribs 48, intended to bear on an enlarged portion 56 at the base of the neck 10, with sufficient tightening so that the ring 8 is then immobilized in rotation relative to the bottle 2.
  • the insert 40 and the stem 4 can be put in place. to close the bottle, as illustrated in Figure 10, and then the assembly constituted by the over-capsule 41 and the ring 8 can be attached to the insert 40, until the insert 40 bears against the bottom of the top wall of the overcap 41, the ribs 48 applying tightly to the insert 40.
  • the bottle 2 provided with the closure cap has been shown in FIG.
  • the user unscrews the threaded portion 7 made up of the overcap 41 and of the insert 40, the ring 8 remaining on the neck 10 of the bottle by tightening the ribs 50 on the enlarged part 56, as can be seen in Figure 12. It is understood on examination of this figure that thanks to the fact that the ring 8 remains on the neck 10 of the bottle 2, it is possible to gain in apparent length of rod the equivalent of the height h of the ring 8.
  • the application element 5 can be constituted by something other than a brush and, by way of illustration, FIG. 14 shows a flocked application element intended to for example to the application on the lips.
  • the bottle 2 can be made by assembling one or more pieces and include in particular a wiper member 60 as illustrated in FIG. this figure that the bottle 2 may comprise a body 61 on which is reported a room 62 defining the neck 10 of the bottle and for supporting the wiper member 60, which can be constituted for example by a foam block split axially to allow the passage of the application element 5.
  • the bottle 2 can be filled with a product P intended for example to be applied to the lips.
  • the closure cap 6 can be made with various shapes, as can see it in Figures 16 to 18, its outer section being circular or not, especially prismatic.
  • FIG. 19 shows an overcap 41 having a substantially square outer cross section.
  • This overcap can be realized with internally a cylindrical wall 63 of revolution, intended to allow the fixation of a insert bearing the thread of the closure cap and the stem.
