Description

La présente invention concerne les dispositifs pour l'application d'un produit, notamment un produit cosmétique, comportant un corps définissant un logement et un applicateur agencé pour être reçu dans le logement en l'absence d'utilisation.The present invention relates to devices for applying a product, in particular a cosmetic product, comprising a body defining a housing and an applicator arranged to be received in the housing in the absence of use.

Le brevet US 4 579 133 divulgue un boîtier comportant une partie amovible définissant un logement dans lequel est mobile en translation un applicateur. L'applicateur peut être sorti de son logement par le déplacement d'un taquet dans une fente. L'applicateur repose sur le fond de la partie amovible.The U.S. Patent 4,579,133 discloses a housing having a removable portion defining a housing in which is movable in translation an applicator. The applicator can be removed from its housing by moving a cleat in a slot. The applicator rests on the bottom of the removable part.

Le brevet US 5 836 319 décrit un poudrier qui comporte un corps et un tiroir mobile par rapport au corps, destiné à contenir un applicateur constitué par une houppette. Ce tiroir comporte en son fond un miroir sur lequel repose l'applicateur. Un tel dispositif présente notamment l'inconvénient que l'applicateur est susceptible de laisser de la poudre sur le miroir. En outre, le tiroir peut être complètement séparé du corps du poudrier, ce qui peut gêner l'utilisation de celui-ci dans certaines circonstances.The U.S. Patent 5,836,319 discloses a powder compact comprising a body and a drawer movable relative to the body, for containing an applicator constituted by a powder puff. This drawer has in its bottom a mirror on which rests the applicator. Such a device has the particular disadvantage that the applicator is likely to leave powder on the mirror. In addition, the drawer can be completely separated from the body of the compact, which can hinder the use of it in certain circumstances.

On connaît par la demande de brevet européen EP 1 277 418 un dispositif de conditionnement et de distribution comportant un tamis au travers duquel s'effectue le prélèvement du produit. L'applicateur est logé, dans un exemple, au-dessus du tamis et se trouve ainsi stocké dans un environnement hermétique, ce qui peut l'empêcher de sécher entre deux applications.We know by the request of European patent EP 1 277 418 a packaging and dispensing device comprising a sieve through which the product is taken. The applicator is housed, in one example, above the sieve and is thus stored in a sealed environment, which can prevent it from drying between two applications.

On connaît par le brevet britannique 1 212 209 un dispositif comportant plusieurs compartiments articulés les uns par rapport aux autres, mais qui n'est pas prévu pour loger un applicateur.We know by British patent 1,212,209 a device comprising several compartments articulated with respect to each other, but which is not intended to house an applicator.

Le brevet US 6 540 083 décrit un dispositif qui, tout comme celui objet du brevet britannique précité, est dépourvu d'applicateur.The US Patent 6,540,083 discloses a device which, like that object of the aforementioned British patent, is devoid of applicator.

Le brevet US 6 378 533 se rapporte à un poudrier comportant un tiroir pivotant dans lequel est logé un applicateur. Un miroir est porté par un couvercle de fermeture d'un logement contenant le produit.The US Patent 6,378,533 refers to a compact having a pivoting drawer in which is housed an applicator. A mirror is carried by a closure lid of a housing containing the product.

L'invention vise à proposer un nouveau dispositif qui notamment soit pratique à utiliser, de faible encombrement, de fonctionnement fiable, et relativement simple et peu coûteux à fabriquer.The invention aims to provide a new device which is particularly practical to use, small footprint, reliable operation, and relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture.

Selon l'un de ses aspects, l'invention a ainsi pour objet un dispositif pour l'application d'un produit, comportant :

  • un corps définissant un logement ayant un fond,
  • un applicateur agencé pour être reçu dans le logement et reposer au moins partiellement sur le fond de celui-ci,
  • un organe de fermeture du logement, mobile par rapport au corps entre une position ouverte permettant d'accéder à l'applicateur et une position fermée empêchant l'accès à l'applicateur, cet organe de fermeture comportant une partie agencée pour pousser l'applicateur au moins partiellement hors du logement, lorsque l'organe de fermeture passe de la position fermée à la position ouverte. L'applicateur est poussé hors du logement par ladite partie de l'organe de fermeture, qui se déplace dans le logement quand l'organe de fermeture passe de la position fermée à la position ouverte.
According to one of its aspects, the invention thus relates to a device for applying a product, comprising:
  • a body defining a housing having a bottom,
  • an applicator arranged to be received in the housing and rest at least partially on the bottom thereof,
  • a closure member of the housing, movable relative to the body between an open position allowing access to the applicator and a closed position preventing access to the applicator, this closure member comprising a portion arranged to push the applicator at least partially out of the housing, when the closure member moves from the closed position to the open position. The applicator is pushed out of the housing by said part of the closing member, which moves in the housing when the closure member moves from the closed position to the open position.

L'invention telle que définie ci-dessus facilite la préhension de l'applicateur lorsque l'organe de fermeture est dans la position ouverte.The invention as defined above facilitates the gripping of the applicator when the closure member is in the open position.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, celle-ci a pour objet un dispositif pour l'application d'un produit, comportant :

  • un corps définissant un logement,
  • un applicateur agencé pour être reçu dans le logement,
  • un miroir mobile par rapport au corps, agencé pour rentrer dans le logement, ce miroir ayant une face réfléchissante dirigée du côté opposé à l'applicateur quand le miroir est rentré dans le logement.
According to another aspect of the invention, the subject of the invention is a device for applying a product, comprising:
  • a body defining a dwelling,
  • an applicator arranged to be received in the housing,
  • a mirror movable relative to the body, arranged to enter the housing, the mirror having a reflecting face directed away from the applicator when the mirror is returned to the housing.

Ainsi, la face réfléchissante du miroir ne vient pas au contact de l'applicateur et n'est donc pas susceptible d'être salie par l'applicateur.Thus, the reflecting face of the mirror does not come into contact with the applicator and is therefore not likely to be soiled by the applicator.

Le miroir peut être porté par un organe de fermeture du logement contenant l'applicateur.The mirror may be carried by a closure member of the housing containing the applicator.

Il est en outre possible de réduire le risque de projection de produit sur le miroir du fait que ce dernier peut être escamoté dans un logement qui n'est pas destiné à recevoir le produit, contrairement aux dispositifs dans lesquels le miroir est fixé sur une face intérieure d'un couvercle de fermeture du poudrier, faisant face à la réserve de produit.It is also possible to reduce the risk of product projection on the mirror because the latter can be retracted into a housing that is not intended to receive the product, unlike devices in which the mirror is fixed on one side inside a compacting lid of the compact, facing the reserve of product.

L'organe de fermeture est avantageusement articulé sur le corps, ce qui permet de le rendre imperdable.The closure member is advantageously articulated on the body, which makes it captive.

Le miroir peut être fixé sur l'organe de fermeture, la face réfléchissante du miroir étant dirigée vers le haut lorsque le dispositif est en position d'utilisation. L'organe de fermeture peut comporter un renfoncement, ayant par exemple une forme cylindrique de révolution, dans lequel est fixé le miroir.The mirror can be fixed on the closure member, the reflecting face of the mirror being directed upwards when the device is in the use position. The closure member may comprise a recess, for example having a cylindrical shape of revolution, in which the mirror is fixed.

Dans un exemple de réalisation, l'organe de fermeture comporte une paroi latérale qui est agencée de manière à définir une portion de la surface extérieure du dispositif, lorsque l'organe de fermeture est en position fermée. Cette paroi latérale ne s'étend que sur une partie seulement de la circonférence de l'organe de fermeture, ménageant un passage que peut franchir au moins partiellement l'applicateur lorsque l'organe de fermeture est déplacé de sa position ouverte à sa position fermée.In an exemplary embodiment, the closure member comprises a side wall which is arranged to define a portion of the outer surface of the device, when the closure member is in the closed position. This side wall extends only over a portion of the circumference of the closure member, providing a passage that can at least partially pass the applicator when the closure member is moved from its open position to its closed position .

La partie de l'organe de fermeture qui sert à pousser l'applicateur hors du logement lorsque l'organe de fermeture est déplacé de la position fermée à la position ouverte est par exemple constituée par une extrémité de la paroi latérale précitée, cette extrémité pouvant se situer par exemple sensiblement à l'opposé, relativement à un axe géométrique autour duquel l'organe de fermeture peut pivoter, d'une surface d'appui pour l'utilisateur, permettant à celui-ci d'entraîner en déplacement l'organe de fermeture de la position fermée à la position ouverte. Cette surface d'appui peut par exemple être définie par au moins un décrochement de la paroi latérale.The part of the closure member which serves to push the applicator out of the housing when the closure member is moved from the closed position to the open position is for example constituted by an end of the aforementioned lateral wall, this end being able to for example to be located substantially opposite, relative to a geometric axis around which the closure member can rotate, a bearing surface for the user, allowing it to drive the organ in displacement closing the closed position to the open position. This bearing surface may for example be defined by at least one recess of the side wall.

L'organe de fermeture comporte avantageusement au moins un relief agencé pour s'encliqueter sur le corps lorsque l'organe de fermeture est dans sa position fermée. Ce relief peut par exemple être constitué par un bossage de la paroi latérale.The closure member advantageously comprises at least one relief arranged to snap on the body when the closure member is in its closed position. This relief may for example be constituted by a boss of the side wall.

Dans une réalisation particulière, l'organe de fermeture comporte une cloison intérieure agencée pour réduire la possibilité de déplacement de l'applicateur dans le logement lorsque l'organe de fermeture est en position fermée. Cette cloison intérieure peut par exemple présenter une forme épousant sensiblement celle d'une portion du contour de l'applicateur lorsque l'organe de fermeture est en position fermée, notamment une forme sensiblement en arc de cercle dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe géométrique de rotation de l'organe de fermeture.In a particular embodiment, the closure member comprises an inner partition arranged to reduce the possibility of displacement of the applicator in the housing when the closure member is in the closed position. This inner partition may for example have a shape substantially matching that of a portion of the contour of the applicator when the closure member is in the closed position, in particular a substantially circular arc in a plane perpendicular to the geometric axis rotation of the closure member.

Dans une réalisation particulière, la paroi latérale de l'organe de fermeture se raccorde à une paroi supérieure, laquelle peut supporter le cas échéant le miroir précité, cette paroi supérieure pouvant s'étendre généralement perpendiculairement à l'axe géométrique de rotation de l'organe de fermeture lorsque celui-ci est articulé sur le corps du dispositif. La paroi latérale et la paroi supérieure peuvent être réalisées d'un seul tenant par moulage de matière plastique, notamment avec des bossages destinés à servir de pivot à l'organe de fermeture lorsque celui-ci est fixé de manière articulée sur le corps du dispositif.In a particular embodiment, the lateral wall of the closure member is connected to an upper wall, which can support, if appropriate, the aforementioned mirror, this upper wall being able to extend generally perpendicular to the geometric axis of rotation of the closure member when it is hinged to the body of the device. The side wall and the upper wall may be made in one piece by molding plastic material, in particular with bosses intended to serve as a pivot for the closure member when the latter is hingedly attached to the body of the device .

L'organe de fermeture peut être dépourvu de paroi inférieure faisant face à la paroi supérieure, de manière à ce que l'applicateur puisse reposer sur le fond du logement. Le corps du dispositif d'application peut comporter, par exemple en partie supérieure, un relief permettant son assemblage sur un dispositif de conditionnement d'un produit, celui-ci étant par exemple un produit cosmétique, notamment un fond de teint ou un fard, pour former un ensemble de conditionnement et d'application.The closure member may have no lower wall facing the upper wall, so that the applicator can rest on the bottom of the housing. The body of the application device may comprise, for example in the upper part, a relief for its assembly on a device for packaging a product, the latter being for example a cosmetic product, especially a foundation or a make-up, to form a package of packaging and application.

Le dispositif d'application peut notamment se fixer sur une pièce du dispositif de conditionnement qui définit le fond d'un logement contenant le produit, ce dernier étant contenu directement dans le logement ou étant contenu dans une coupelle disposée dans le logement.The application device can in particular be fixed on a part of the packaging device which defines the bottom of a housing containing the product, the latter being contained directly in the housing or being contained in a cup disposed in the housing.

Le dispositif d'application peut comporter, outre le relief destiné à l'accrochage sur le dispositif de conditionnement, au moins un relief d'anti-rotation destiné à prévenir une rotation du dispositif d'application relativement au dispositif de conditionnement.The application device may comprise, in addition to the relief intended for attachment to the packaging device, at least one anti-rotation relief intended to prevent rotation of the application device relative to the packaging device.

L'applicateur peut être constitué par une houppette par exemple, laquelle peut comporter une mousse, éventuellement floquée.The applicator may be constituted by a puff, for example, which may comprise a foam, possibly flocked.

Le dispositif de conditionnement peut comporter un couvercle de fermeture d'un logement contenant le produit, ce couvercle pouvant par exemple être agencé pour se visser ou pour pivoter grâce à une charnière.The packaging device may comprise a closure cover of a housing containing the product, this cover being able to be arranged, for example, to be screwed on or to pivot by means of a hinge.

L'invention a encore pour objet un ensemble de conditionnement et d'application comportant un dispositif d'application tel que défini plus haut et un dispositif de conditionnement sur lequel le dispositif d'application est fixé, notamment de manière amovible.The invention also relates to a packaging and application assembly comprising an application device as defined above and a packaging device on which the application device is fixed, in particular removably.

L'invention a encore pour objet un procédé de maquillage comportant les étapes consistant à sélectionner un dispositif de conditionnement parmi une pluralité de dispositifs de conditionnement et à l'assembler avec un dispositif d'application tel que défini plus haut.

L'ensemble 10 de conditionnement et d'application représenté aux figures 1 à 4 comporte un dispositif de conditionnement 11 et un dispositif d'application 12 qui sont assemblés l'un à l'autre, cet assemblage pouvant par exemple, comme c'est le cas dans l'exemple considéré, être amovible.The packaging and application assembly 10 shown in FIGS. Figures 1 to 4 comprises a packaging device 11 and an application device 12 which are assembled to one another, this assembly can for example, as is the case in the example, be removable.

Le dispositif de conditionnement 11 est représenté isolément à la figure 5 tandis que le dispositif d'application 12 l'est à la figure 6.The packaging device 11 is shown in isolation figure 5 while the application device 12 is at the figure 6 .

Le dispositif de conditionnement 11 comporte une base 20, un couvercle 21 agencé pour se visser sur la base 20, et un tamis 23 porté par une bague 24 pouvant se déplacer relativement à la base 20 selon un axe Y. Cette bague 24 définit avec une paroi 25 de la base 20 s'étendant transversalement à l'axe Y, un logement 26 pouvant contenir un produit P à appliquer, ce logement 26 étant fermé supérieurement par le tamis 23. La bague 24 peut se déplacer vers le bas au fur et à mesure du prélèvement du produit dans le logement 26. Un dispositif à tamis mobile assez similaire à celui représenté à la figure 5 est décrit dans la demande de brevet européen EP 1 277 418 A1 de la demanderesse, à laquelle on pourra se reporter pour plus de détails, le cas échéant.The packaging device 11 comprises a base 20, a cover 21 arranged to screw on the base 20, and a sieve 23 carried by a ring 24 which can move relative to the base 20 along a Y axis. wall 25 of the base 20 extending transversely to the axis Y, a housing 26 which can contain a product P to be applied, this housing 26 being closed upper by the sieve 23. The ring 24 can move downwards as and when as the product is taken from the housing 26. A mobile screen device quite similar to that shown in FIG. figure 5 is described in the application for European patent EP 1 277 418 A1 Applicant, to which reference may be made for further details, if any.

La base 20 comporte, en partie inférieure et à sa périphérie, une jupe extérieure 27 pourvue sur une face radialement intérieure d'une gorge 28 dont le rôle sera précisé plus loin.The base 20 comprises, in the lower part and at its periphery, an outer skirt 27 provided on a radially inner face of a groove 28 whose role will be specified below.

La base 20 comporte également une jupe intérieure 30, concentrique à la jupe extérieure 27, qui se raccorde supérieurement à la paroi transversale 25 et sur la surface radialement intérieure de laquelle est réalisée au moins un bossage 31 dont le rôle sera également précisé plus loin. Dans l'exemple considéré, les bossages 31 sont au nombre de quatre, étant équirépartis angulairement autour de l'axe Y.The base 20 also has an inner skirt 30, concentric to the outer skirt 27, which is connected superiorly to the transverse wall 25 and on the radially inner surface of which is formed at least one boss 31 whose role will also be specified below. In the example considered, the bosses 31 are four in number, being distributed angularly around the Y axis.

Le dispositif d'application 12 comporte un corps 40 définissant un logement 41 destiné à recevoir un applicateur 80 et un organe de fermeture 50 articulé sur le corps 40 autour d'un axe géométrique de rotation X qui, dans l'exemple considéré, est parallèle à l'axe Y du dispositif de conditionnement 11, une fois l'assemblage des dispositifs de conditionnement 11 et d'application 12 effectué.The application device 12 comprises a body 40 defining a housing 41 intended to receive an applicator 80 and a closure member 50 articulated on the body 40 about a geometric axis of rotation X which, in the example in question, is parallel to the Y axis of the packaging device 11, once the assembly of the packaging devices 11 and application 12 made.

Le corps 40 comporte une paroi inférieure 42 dont la face supérieure 43 définit le fond du logement 41, l'applicateur 80 reposant en position de stockage par sa face inférieure entièrement sur cette face 43, dans l'exemple considéré.The body 40 has a bottom wall 42 whose upper face 43 defines the bottom of the housing 41, the applicator 80 resting in the storage position by its lower face entirely on this face 43, in the example.

Le corps 40 comporte également une paroi supérieure 44 qui est parallèle à la paroi inférieure 42 et qui se raccorde à cette dernière par une paroi latérale 45 s'étendant dans l'exemple illustré autour de l'axe Y sur un secteur angulaire légèrement inférieur à 180°, comme on peut le voir notamment sur les figures 8 et 9.The body 40 also has an upper wall 44 which is parallel to the bottom wall 42 and which connects to the latter by a lateral wall 45 extending in the example shown around the Y axis on a slightly smaller angular sector. 180 °, as can be seen in particular in the Figures 8 and 9 .

Une jupe tubulaire 46 se raccorde inférieurement à la paroi supérieure 44. Cette jupe 46 est pourvue à sa périphérie d'un bourrelet 47 agencé pour s'encliqueter dans la gorge 28 du dispositif de conditionnement 11, pour maintenir les dispositifs de conditionnement 11 et d'application 12 assemblés.A tubular skirt 46 is connected below the upper wall 44. This skirt 46 is provided at its periphery with a bead 47 arranged to snap into the groove 28 of the packaging device 11, to maintain the packaging devices 11 and 12 applications assembled.

Une deuxième jupe tubulaire 48, concentrique à la première 46 et disposée à l'intérieur de celle-ci, se raccorde également inférieurement à la paroi supérieure 44. Cette jupe 48 est agencée pour s'engager dans la jupe intérieure 30 du dispositif de conditionnement 11 et comporte des encoches 49 dans lesquelles peuvent s'engager les bossages 31, de telle sorte que le dispositif d'application 12 est empêché de tourner relativement au dispositif de conditionnement 11.A second tubular skirt 48, concentric with the first 46 and disposed inside thereof, is also connected lower than the upper wall 44. This skirt 48 is arranged to engage in the inner skirt 30 of the packaging device 11 and has notches 49 in which the bosses 31 can engage, so that the application device 12 is prevented from rotating relative to the conditioning device 11.

Les parois supérieure 44 et inférieure 42 comportent des évidements 51 et 52 d'axe X, dans lesquels peuvent d'engager des bossages respectifs 53 et 54 portés par un axe 67 de l'organe de fermeture 50, de manière à assurer l'articulation de l'organe de fermeture 50 relativement au corps 40.The upper and lower walls 44 and 44 comprise recesses 51 and 52 of axis X, in which respective bosses 53 and 54 carried by an axis 67 of the closure member 50 can be engaged, so as to ensure the articulation of the closing member 50 relative to the body 40.

L'organe de fermeture 50 comporte une paroi supérieure 56 qui s'étend perpendiculairement à l'axe X et à laquelle se raccorde le haut d'une paroi latérale 57 qui définit, lorsque l'organe de fermeture 50 est en position fermée comme on peut le voir sur la figure 1, une portion de la surface extérieure d'ensemble 10.The closure member 50 has an upper wall 56 which extends perpendicularly to the axis X and which is connected to the top of a side wall 57 which defines, when the closure member 50 is in the closed position as one can see it on the figure 1 , a portion of the overall exterior surface 10.

Les parois supérieure 56 et latérale 57 sont réalisées dans l'exemple considéré d'un seul tenant par moulage de matière plastique, avec l'axe 67 et les bossages 53 et 54.The upper 56 and lateral walls 57 are made in the example in one piece by molding plastic material, with the axis 67 and the bosses 53 and 54.

La paroi latérale 57 s'étend sensiblement selon un arc de cercle comme on peut le voir sur les figures 8 et 9, avec une première partie d'extrémité 59 et une deuxième partie d'extrémité 61. Cette dernière présente un décrochement 62 et un renfoncement 63 qui permettent à l'utilisateur de déplacer l'organe de fermeture entre les positions fermée et ouverte.The side wall 57 extends substantially in an arc of a circle as can be seen on the Figures 8 and 9 , with a first end portion 59 and a second end portion 61. The latter has a recess 62 and a recess 63 which allow the user to move the closure member between the closed and open positions.

La deuxième partie d'extrémité 61 est terminée par une languette 64 pourvue d'une dent 65 agencée pour s'encliqueter sur un relief correspondant 66 réalisé sur la face intérieure de la paroi latérale 45 du corps 40, lorsque l'organe de fermeture 50 est en position fermée, comme on peut le voir à l'examen de la figure 9.The second end portion 61 is terminated by a tongue 64 provided with a tooth 65 arranged to snap onto a corresponding relief 66 formed on the inner face of the side wall 45 of the body 40, when the closure member 50 is in the closed position, as can be seen from the examination of the figure 9 .

La paroi supérieure 56 comporte un logement 69 qui débouche sur sa face supérieure et qui reçoit un miroir 70 dont la face réfléchissante 71 est dirigée vers le haut, c'est-à-dire du côté opposé à l'applicateur 80. Le miroir 70 vient se positionner juste sous la paroi supérieure 44 du corps 40, quand l'organe de fermeture 50 est en position fermée.The upper wall 56 has a housing 69 which opens on its upper face and which receives a mirror 70 whose reflecting face 71 is directed upwards, that is to say on the opposite side to the applicator 80. The mirror 70 is positioned just below the upper wall 44 of the body 40, when the closure member 50 is in the closed position.

L'organe de fermeture 50 comporte encore une cloison intérieure 73 réalisée, dans l'exemple considéré, d'un seul tenant avec la paroi supérieure 56.The closing member 50 also comprises an internal partition 73 made, in the example in question, in one piece with the upper wall 56.

La cloison intérieure 73 présente une forme générale en arc de cercle, concentrique à la paroi latérale 57, étant agencée pour venir en appui sur l'applicateur 80 lorsque l'organe de fermeture 50 est en position fermée, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 7, de façon à immobiliser l'applicateur 80 dans le logement 41.The inner partition 73 has a generally circular shape, concentric with the side wall 57, being arranged to bear on the applicator 80 when the closure member 50 is in the closed position, as can be seen on the figure 7 , so as to immobilize the applicator 80 in the housing 41.

L'organe de fermeture 50 est dépourvu de paroi de fond, de sorte que l'applicateur 80 peut reposer directement sur la paroi inférieure 42 du corps 40. Un passage 76 est défini entre les parties d'extrémité 59 et 61 de la paroi latérale 57.The closure member 50 has no bottom wall, so that the applicator 80 can rest directly on the bottom wall 42 of the body 40. A passage 76 is defined between the end portions 59 and 61 of the side wall 57.

L'ensemble 10 peut s'utiliser de la manière suivante.The assembly 10 can be used as follows.

On suppose que l'organe de fermeture 50 est en position fermée, comme illustré sur les figures 1 et 7 notamment.It is assumed that the closure member 50 is in the closed position, as illustrated in the figures 1 and 7 especially.

L'utilisateur dévisse le couvercle 21, ce qui libère l'accès au produit P contenu dans le logement 26.The user unscrews the lid 21, which frees access to the product P contained in the housing 26.

Il fait ensuite pivoter l'organe de fermeture 50 vers sa position ouverte, en le déplaçant selon la flèche F des figures 7 et 8. Au cours du pivotement, l'organe de fermeture 50 vient appuyer par le bord de la deuxième partie d'extrémité 59 contre l'applicateur 80 et celui-ci est poussé en direction de l'ouverture du logement selon la flèche S, comme on le voit sur la figure 9, l'applicateur 80 glissant sur le fond 43.It then rotates the closure member 50 towards its open position, by moving it along the arrow F of the Figures 7 and 8 . During the pivoting, the closure member 50 is supported by the edge of the second end portion 59 against the applicator 80 and the latter is pushed towards the opening of the housing according to the arrow S, as one see him on the figure 9 , the applicator 80 sliding on the bottom 43.

Lorsque l'organe de fermeture 50 atteint la position ouverte, l'applicateur 80 déborde légèrement de la paroi inférieure 42, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 3, ce qui facilite sa préhension par l'utilisateur. La face réfléchissante 71 du miroir 70 est dégagée et l'utilisateur peut s'en servir pour suivre l'application du produit P au moyen de l'applicateur 80.When the closing member 50 reaches the open position, the applicator 80 projects slightly from the bottom wall 42, as can be seen on the figure 3 , which facilitates its grip by the user. The reflecting face 71 of the mirror 70 is disengaged and the user can use it to follow the application of the product P by means of the applicator 80.

Après l'utilisation, l'utilisateur peut replacer l'applicateur 80 dans le logement 41 et refermer celui-ci en faisant pivoter l'organe de fermeture 50 dans le sens inverse de la flèche F.After use, the user can replace the applicator 80 in the housing 41 and close it by rotating the closure member 50 in the opposite direction of the arrow F.

Pendant le stockage, la face réfléchissante 71 du miroir 70 est isolée de l'applicateur 80 par la paroi supérieure 56 et n'est donc pas susceptible de se salir.During storage, the reflecting face 71 of the mirror 70 is isolated from the applicator 80 by the upper wall 56 and is therefore not likely to get dirty.

De plus, l'applicateur 80 est stocké dans l'exemple illustré d'une manière non étanche dans le logement 41, la fermeture de ce dernier n'étant pas hermétique. Ainsi, l'applicateur 80 peut sécher si celui-ci a reçu par inadvertance une projection de liquide au cours du maquillage. Cela permet de réduire le risque de prolifération bactérienne.In addition, the applicator 80 is stored in the example shown in an unsealed manner in the housing 41, the closure of the latter being not hermetic. Thus, the applicator 80 can dry if it has inadvertently received a liquid spray during makeup. This reduces the risk of bacterial overgrowth.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple qui vient d'être décrit. On peut par exemple réaliser autrement le dispositif de conditionnement 11 et/ou le dispositif d'application 12.Of course, the invention is not limited to the example just described. For example, the packaging device 11 and / or the application device 12 can be made differently.

Dans l'exemple de la figure 10, le dispositif de conditionnement a été réalisé avec un couvercle 21 qui est relié à la base 20 par une articulation 90, cette articulation étant constituée par exemple par une charnière-film.In the example of the figure 10 , the conditioning device has been made with a cover 21 which is connected to the base 20 by a hinge 90, this hinge being constituted for example by a hinge-film.

Dans l'exemple de la figure 11, le produit P est contenu dans une coupelle 91 et l'accès au produit se fait sans l'intermédiaire d'un tamis.In the example of the figure 11 the product P is contained in a cup 91 and access to the product is done without the aid of a sieve.

Dans toute la description, y compris les revendications, l'expression « comportant un » doit être comprise comme étant synonyme de « comportant au moins un », sauf si le contraire est spécifié.Throughout the description, including the claims, the phrase "having one" should be understood as being synonymous with "having at least one", unless the opposite is specified.
