Definitions

  • the present invention relates to devices for packaging and applying a product, in particular a cosmetic, including a care product, of the type comprising a container containing a reserve of product, a closure member of the container and an applicator made of a porous material, in particular foam, disposed in a housing of the container in fluid communication with the product reserve.
  • a product in particular a cosmetic, including a care product, of the type comprising a container containing a reserve of product, a closure member of the container and an applicator made of a porous material, in particular foam, disposed in a housing of the container in fluid communication with the product reserve.
  • the applicator may be insufficiently loaded product at the first use if the product is relatively viscous and if the user does not think to shake the container sufficiently beforehand. Thus, the user may be led to believe that the autonomy of the applicator is low and consider it unsatisfactory.
  • This European patent application also describes a container formed of a flexible tube whose one end carries the applicator.
  • the possible insufficiency of the initial loading of the applicator product poses no problem, because the user is naturally brought by the shape of the container to press its wall to get out the product intended to impregnate the applicator.
  • French patent FR 2 812 277 describes a device in which the product can be driven into the housing containing the applicator with a piston driven in displacement by the rotation of a wheel.
  • Such a device has a relatively complex structure.
  • the user is naturally led to exercise, at the first use, an action for charging the applicator product, namely to turn the wheel, so that the problem mentioned above does not arise either.
  • French patent FR 2,800,041 describes a device in which the body of the container is provided with an elastomeric bottom having an outwardly curved portion, on which the user can press to create an overpressure.
  • the device also comprises means specially designed to facilitate the loading of the applicator product, the user can operate the first use.
  • the presence of the elastomer bottom may cause constraints on the aesthetics of the device, especially if it is desired to cause the user to naturally press on it.
  • the domed portion of the bottom, movable relative to the body of the container can be made to protrude from it at rest, to encourage the user to press it.
  • This application further describes a device in which the body of the container has a bellows, which spontaneously causes the user to compress to load the applicator product, so that the problem mentioned above does not arise. In addition, the presence of the bellows complicates the construction of the container.
  • the US Patent 6,305,863 discloses a device having a first space containing a supply of product and a second space in which at least an applicator is at least partially received.
  • the US Patent 6,305,863 describes a piston going back on its own during the distribution of the product and the demand US 2003/0086742 describes a piston driven in displacement by a wheel.
  • Such pistons are capable of axial displacement over more than one third, or even more than half the length of the reservoir, along its longitudinal axis.
  • the present invention aims in particular, according to a first aspect, to 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 specific means operable by the user to cause the supply of product from the space containing the applicator at the first use, such as for example a drive wheel of a piston, a piston, an elastomer bottom, a bellows or a flexible wall.
  • the invention achieves this through a device for packaging and applying a product, in particular a cosmetic product, comprising the features of claim 1.
  • rigid body should be understood to mean that the body does not deform substantially during normal use of the device by the user.
  • the rigid body has no area on which the user presses or acts to deform the body during use, such as for example a bellows.
  • the invention may in particular make it possible to increase the quantity of product contained in the applicator during the first use and thus to improve the comfort of the application, without complicating the manufacture of the device or imposing on the device. user a specific prior action on the container.
  • the device comprises a tubular skirt defining at least partially the second space.
  • the manufacture of the container is relatively inexpensive because the body thereof 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 being already in place and the first space filled with product while the container is upside down, an overpressure forcing the product to flow into the second space to impregnate the applicator. It is thus possible to increase the quantity of product present on the applicator at the first use, independently of any action exerted by the user.
  • the rigid body may not be substantially deformed by the deletion thus created.
  • the first closure member comprises a sealing member, in particular an annular sealing lip, applied on an inner surface of the body of the container.
  • This sealing member in particular this sealing lip, is arranged to apply sealingly, during the assembly of the first closure member, to the inner surface of the container body while the first closure member has no effect. not yet reached its final position.

  • the first closure member is fixed non-releasably on the container body, without the possibility of movement relative to the body of the container.
  • the term "without the possibility of displacement relative to the container body” should be understood to mean that the first closure member is not intended to be moved by the user to cause 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 welding, especially ultrasound, on the body of the container.

  • the first closure member may be attached to the container body so as to be in contact with the product.
  • the body of the container may have, over a major part of its length, a cross section widening towards the opening. This forms a draft facilitating its demolding.
  • the body of the container may for example present over a major part of its length a constant cross section.
