Definitions

  • the fixing skirt comes from its radially outer and inner faces in contact respectively with an outer skirt of the support and a product feed chimney.
  • the increase in the internal diameter of the feed pipe accompanying the increase in the size of the applicator member may lead to an excessive arrival of product during use. Furthermore, if only the diameter of the fixing skirt is increased, it is maintained only by the outer skirt of the support, which may in certain cases involve a risk of separation of the application member and from support to use.
  • a supply duct of too small diameter is likely to cause a poor distribution of the product in the applicator member, especially when it is a powder.
  • the invention aims in particular to meet this need.
  • the object of the invention is, according to one of its aspects, a device for packaging and applying a product, according to claim 1.
  • the applicator member can be held by clamping, for example, between two walls of the support while allowing the applicator member to be fed in a suitable manner, in particular by choosing the section offered by the support to the flow of the product to the application member.
  • the radially inner face of the fixing skirt may be symmetrical about the aforementioned axis, but other forms are possible, alternatively.

These chimneys are non-concentric. These chimneys may have a circular cross section or not, for example reniform, continuous or not.
  • the support comprises an outer skirt at least partly in contact with a radially outer face of the fixing skirt.
  • the support may be constituted by an insert on the body of the container.
  • the support may in particular be made to be fixed by snapping or screwing for example on a neck of the container.
  • the support is made in one piece, by molding, with the body of the container.

  • the applicator member may in particular comprise a wall whose first face defines an application surface and the support may be arranged to bear rest against a second face of the wall, opposite to the first. The support can thus oppose the depression of the applicator member when it is pressed against the surface to be treated.
  • the applicator member may be symmetrical with revolution, with an outside diameter of, for example, between 12 and 100 mm.
  • the applicator member may comprise at least one annular groove open radially outwards. This can give it more flexibility.

  • the applicator member may in particular be deformed in the axial direction, for example during the manual application of the surface used for the application against the surface to be coated with product and / or during the manual closing of the device.
  • the applicator member may be elastically compressible in any direction.
  • the application member may or may not include flocking.
  • the application member may contain, where appropriate, a bactericidal or antifungal agent.

  • the thickness of the skirt may be measured in the absence of radial compression thereof, for example before mounting on the device.
  • the applicator member may or may not rest against the first chimney in the absence of use or when the device is not used. When the device is used, the applicator member may or may not bear against the first chimney.

  • the variant illustrated in figure 8 differs from that of figure 6 by the absence of the walls 53 connecting the uprights 52 to the feed pipe 50.
  • FIG. 9 and 10 differs from that shown in Figures 5 and 6 by the presence of slots 67 on the feed pipe 50, these slots 67 extending over a portion of the height of the chimney 50 from its free end.
  • the slots 67 are for example arranged to open, as illustrated, in the spaces 66 delimited by two adjacent walls 53, between the chimney 50 and the fixing skirt 22.

  • the valves 93 and 96 may for example be made of elastomer and overmolded.
  • the outer wall 83 of the container 3 is preferably an elastically deformable flexible wall. When the user presses on it, this reduces the volume of the internal space 91, which generates an overpressure on the pocket 90 and the product flow through the outlet valve 96. When the user releases the wall 83, and a depression is created due to the decrease in the internal volume of the pocket 90, the inlet valve 93 can open to allow a rebalancing of the pressures.
