Definitions

  • the present invention relates to packaging devices and application of a product, in particular a cosmetic product, including a care product, of the type comprising a container containing a supply of product, a closure member of the container and a applicator made of a porous material, in particular made of foam, arranged in a housing of container in fluid communication with the product supply.
  • EP 1,312,280-A1 describes a device of this type, in which the applicator is carried by a support part snapped onto the neck of the container.
  • the applicator may be insufficiently loaded in product at first use if the product is relatively viscous and if the user does not think to shake the container sufficiently beforehand. So the user may be led to believe that the autonomy of the applicator is weak and consider it as not satisfying.
  • This European patent application also describes a container formed of a flexible tube whose end carries the applicator.
  • the possible insufficiency of the initial loading of the applicator in product does not pose problem because the user is naturally brought by the shape of the container to squeeze its wall to remove the product for impregnating the applicator.
  • French patent application FR 2 812 277 describes a device in which the product can be driven into the housing containing the applicator through a piston driven in displacement by the rotation of a wheel.
  • Such a device has a structure relatively complex.
  • the user is Naturally brought to exercise, at the first use, an action to load the applicator produces, namely to turn the wheel, so that the problem mentioned above does not arise either.
  • French patent application FR 2,800,041 describes a device in which the container body is provided with an elastomer bottom having a bulging portion towards the outside, on which the user can press to create an overpressure.
  • the device again includes means specifically designed to facilitate the loading of the applicator in product, that the user can operate at the first use.
  • the presence of the elastomer bottom can lead to constraints on the aesthetics of the device, especially if it is desired to lead the user to naturally this one.
  • the domed part of the bottom, movable relative to the body of the container may be carried out so as to protrude from it at rest, to incite the user to press on it.
  • European Patent Application EP 1 086 904 discloses devices in which the support of the applicator is constituted by an insert on the body of the container.
  • US Pat. No. 6,305,863 describes a device comprising a first space containing a reserve of product and a second space in which at least partially an applicator.
  • the present invention aims in particular, according to one of its aspects, with remedy the problem of product loading of the applicator at the first use, which is likely to arise especially when the device is devoid of means specific actions that can be operated by the user to cause the supply of the space containing the applicator at the first use, such as for example a wheel driving a piston, a piston, an elastomer bottom, a bellows or a wall flexible.
  • rigid body should be understood to mean that the body does not deform significantly during normal use of the device by the user.
  • the rigid body does not have an area on which the user presses or acts to deform the body during use, such as by example a bellows.
  • the invention may notably make it possible to increase the quantity of product contained in the applicator during the first use and thereby improve the comfort to application, without unduly complicating the manufacture of the device impose on the user a specific prior action on the container.
  • the device comprises a tubular skirt delimiting at least partially the second space.
  • the manufacture of the container is relatively inexpensive because the body of it is made in one piece with at least the aforementioned partition, and preferably also the tubular skirt.
  • the first closure member and the body of the container are advantageously arranged in such a way that the introduction of the first closure member generates in the first space, the second closure member already in place and the first space filled with product while the container is upside down, an overpressure forcing product to flow into the second space to impregnate the applicator.
  • the rigid body may not be substantially distorted by the deletion thus created.
  • the first closure member may in particular comprise an organ seal, in particular an annular sealing lip, applied to a surface inside the body of the container.
  • this sealing member in particular this sealing lip, is arranged to apply sealingly, during assembly of the first closure member on the inner surface of the container body while the first closing device has not yet reached its final position.
  • the contact can be create the entire height of the sealing lip from the beginning of the assembly, or only part of the height of the sealing lip.
  • the first closure member is fixed in a non-removable manner on the container body, without the possibility of displacement relative to the body of the container.
  • the expression “without the possibility of displacement relative to the container body” means that the first closure member is not intended to be moved by the user to cause the product loading of the applicator.
  • the first closure member may in particular be fixed by snapping on the body of the container.
  • the first closure member can be fixed by gluing or by welding, especially ultrasound, on the body of the container.
  • the first closure is removably attached to the container body.
