Description

La présente invention concerne les dispositifs de conditionnement et d'application d'un produit, notamment un produit cosmétique, par exemple du mascara, un vernis à ongles ou un rouge à lèvres liquide.The present invention relates to packaging devices and application of a product, in particular a cosmetic product, for example mascara, a nail polish or a liquid lipstick.

L'invention a trait plus particulièrement à un dispositif comportant un récipient contenant le produit, un applicateur comportant un élément d'application, un organe de préhension, une tige reliant l'élément d'application à l'organe de préhension et un organe d'essorage agencé pour essorer au moins partiellement l'élément d'application lorsque celui-ci est retiré du récipient.The invention relates more particularly to a device comprising a container containing the product, an applicator comprising an applicator element, an applicator prehension, a rod connecting the applicator element to the gripping member and an organ wiper arranged to at least partially wring the applicator element when it is removed from the container.

Pour assurer une fermeture étanche d'un tel dispositif, il est connu par la demande de brevet européen EP 0 740 913, la demande internationale WO 94/14357, le brevet US 4 761 088 ou la demande de brevet FR 2 646 066 de réaliser l'organe d'essorage avec une collerette contre laquelle l'organe de préhension vient axialement en appui.To ensure a tight closure of such a device, it is known by the European Patent Application EP 0 740 913, the international application WO 94/14357, the US Patent 4,761,088 or the patent application FR 2,646,066 to realize the wringing member with a flange against which the gripping member comes axially in support.

Les demandes EP 1 275 322 et FR 2 831 033 décrivent d'autres dispositifs dans lesquels un tel appui axial est recherché.Applications EP 1 275 322 and FR 2 831 033 describe other devices in which such axial support is sought.

La demande de brevet FR 2 824 244 divulgue un dispositif de conditionnement et d'application de mascara dont l'applicateur comporte un organe de préhension et une tige, réalisés d'une seule pièce, l'étanchéité de la fermeture du dispositif étant assurée par le contact de l'organe de préhension directement sur le récipient.Patent Application FR 2 824 244 discloses a packaging device and application of mascara whose applicator comprises a gripping member and a stem, made in one piece, the sealing of the closure of the device being ensured by the contact of the gripping member directly on the container.

Il existe un besoin pour simplifier la fabrication du dispositif sans compromettre l'étanchéité de la fermeture.There is a need to simplify the manufacture of the device without compromise the tightness of the closure.

L'invention répond à ce besoin grâce à un dispositif de conditionnement et d'application d'un produit, comportant :

  • un récipient pour contenir le produit, ce récipient présentant une ouverture à son extrémité supérieure,
  • un organe d'essorage engagé partiellement dans l'ouverture et comportant une collerette dépassant de l'extrémité supérieure du récipient, cette collerette ayant une surface périphérique extérieure,
  • un applicateur comportant :
    • un élément d'application,
    • un organe de préhension,
    • une tige reliant l'élément d'application à l'organe de préhension,
l'organe de préhension comportant une jupe de montage tubulaire, agencée pour permettre la fixation de l'applicateur sur le récipient et la fermeture de celui-ci, la jupe de montage et la tige étant réalisées de manière monolithique, la jupe de montage venant, une fois l'applicateur en position de fermeture du récipient, en contact étanche avec la surface périphérique de la collerette.The invention meets this need by means of a device for packaging and applying a product, comprising:
  • a container for containing the product, which container has an opening at its upper end,
  • a wiper member partially engaged in the opening and having a collar projecting from the upper end of the container, this collar having an outer peripheral surface,
  • an applicator comprising:
    • an application element,
    • a grasping organ,
    • a rod connecting the applicator element to the gripping member,
the gripping member comprising a tubular mounting skirt, arranged to allow the attachment of the applicator to the container and the closure thereof, the mounting skirt and the rod being made monolithically, the mounting skirt coming from once the applicator in the closed position of the container, in sealing contact with the peripheral surface of the collar.

La jupe de montage peut se raccorder à une paroi transversale de l'organe de préhension. Cette paroi transversale peut se situer à distance de la collerette de l'organe d'essorage lorsque l'applicateur est en position de fermeture du récipient. La paroi transversale peut encore définir une surface supérieure de l'organe de préhension.The mounting skirt can be connected to a transverse wall of the body of gripping. This transverse wall can be located at a distance from the collar of the organ when the applicator is in the closed position of the container. Wall transverse can still define an upper surface of the gripping member.

Grâce à l'invention, il est possible de réaliser au moins la tige et la jupe de montage de l'organe de préhension d'une seule pièce, par exemple par injection de matière plastique, tout en assurant une étanchéité satisfaisante quand le dispositif est fermé. L'élément d'application peut être réalisé d'une seule pièce avec la tige et l'organe de préhension lors du moulage par exemple ou être rapporté sur la tige, après le moulage de la tige et de l'organe de préhension par exemple.Thanks to the invention, it is possible to produce at least the rod and the skirt of mounting the gripping member in one piece, for example by injecting material plastic, while ensuring a satisfactory seal when the device is closed. The application element can be made in one piece with the stem and the during the molding, for example, or to be attached to the rod, after the molding of the rod and gripping member for example.

L'invention permet également de réaliser un organe de préhension avec une taille suffisante pour permettre une préhension aisée, par exemple avec une taille comparable à celle des organes de préhension des dispositifs connus. L'organe de préhension peut par exemple présenter une longueur au moins égale au double de celle du col, lorsque le récipient comporte un col.The invention also makes it possible to produce a gripping member with a sufficient size to allow easy gripping, for example with a size comparable to that of the gripping members of known devices. The organ of for example, may have a length at least equal to twice that of the neck, when the container has a collar.

En outre, l'invention permet de réaliser l'organe de préhension avec une longueur relativement importante sans que cela nuise à l'esthétique de l'organe de préhension. En particulier, l'organe de préhension peut être réalisé avec une partie supérieure dépourvue de jupe défmissant un logement ouvert vers le haut, lorsque le dispositif est disposé avec l'élément d'application en bas.In addition, the invention makes it possible to produce the gripping member with a relatively large length without affecting the aesthetics of the body of gripping. In particular, the gripping member can be made with a part upper without skirt defining a housing open upwards, when the device is arranged with the application element at the bottom.

Le cas échéant, la jupe de montage, la tige et l'élément d'application peuvent être tous trois réalisés d'une manière monolithique.Where appropriate, the mounting skirt, rod and applicator may to be all three realized in a monolithic way.

Le récipient peut comporter un col dans lequel est engagé au moins partiellement l'organe d'essorage.The container may comprise a neck in which is engaged at least partially the wringing member.

Dans un exemple de réalisation avantageux, la collerette comporte un rebord venant recouvrir au moins partiellement le récipient extérieurement. La présence d'un tel rebord peut permettre un meilleur maintien de l'organe d'essorage sur le récipient, notamment sur son col. En présence de ce rebord, le récipient peut présenter extérieurement en partie supérieure un décrochement annulaire, agencé pour loger au moins en partie le rebord de la collerette.In an advantageous embodiment, the flange comprises a flange at least partially covering the container externally. The presence of such rim may allow a better hold of the wiper member on the container, especially on his collar. In the presence of this rim, the container may have externally in the upper part an annular recess, arranged to lodge at the less in part the rim of the collar.

Dans un autre exemple de réalisation, la collerette est dépourvue de rebord venant recouvrir au moins partiellement extérieurement le récipient, notamment son col.In another embodiment, the flange is devoid of flange covering at least partially externally the container, in particular its neck.

Le contact entre l'organe d'essorage et la jupe de montage peut s'effectuer uniquement ou non à la surface périphérique de la collerette.The contact between the wiper member and the mounting skirt can be effected only or not to the peripheral surface of the collar.

Cette surface périphérique peut comporter le cas échéant au moins une lèvre annulaire agencée pour s'appliquer de manière étanche sur la jupe de montage. La collerette peut par exemple comporter deux lèvres annulaires agencées pour s'appliquer de manière étanche sur la jupe de montage. Dans ce cas, la collerette peut comporter une gorge annulaire entre les deux lèvres précitées.This peripheral surface may comprise, where appropriate, at least one lip annular arranged to apply sealingly on the mounting skirt. The collar may for example comprise two annular lips arranged to apply from waterproof way on the mounting skirt. In this case, the collar may comprise a annular groove between the two aforementioned lips.

La collerette peut encore présenter un bord périphérique arrondi, convexe vers l'extérieur.The collar may still have a rounded, convex peripheral edge towards outside.

La jupe de montage peut être agencée pour se visser sur le col du récipient, s'encliqueter sur le récipient ou se fixer autrement encore, par exemple par friction ou par une fixation de type baïonnette.The mounting skirt can be arranged to screw on the neck of the container, snap into the container or otherwise attach, for example by friction or a bayonet type fixing.

La collerette peut présenter un diamètre extérieur maximal supérieur ou égal au diamètre extérieur de l'extrémité supérieure du récipient, afin de faire saillie vers l'extérieur.The flange may have a maximum outside diameter greater than or equal to outer diameter of the upper end of the container, so as to protrude outside.

La jupe de montage peut présenter une surface intérieure ayant au moins une portion venant au contact de la surface périphérique de la collerette lorsque l'applicateur est en position de fermeture sur le récipient, et présentant un diamètre inférieur ou égal au diamètre extérieur maximal de la collerette.The mounting skirt may have an interior surface having at least one portion engaging the peripheral surface of the collar when the applicator is in the closed position on the container, and having a diameter less than or equal to maximum outside diameter of the flange.

La jupe de montage peut présenter une surface intérieure ayant au moins une portion, par exemple sensiblement conique, divergeant en direction du récipient et venant au contact de l'organe d'essorage. Une telle portion peut faciliter la mise en place de l'organe de préhension sur le récipient tout en assurant une fermeture étanche.The mounting skirt may have an interior surface having at least one portion, for example substantially conical, diverging towards the container and coming in contact with the wiper member. Such a portion may facilitate the establishment of the gripping member on the container while ensuring a tight seal.

La jupe de montage peut être configurée de manière à ce que le serrage entre la jupe de montage et l'organe d'essorage augmente au cours de la fixation de l'applicateur sur le récipient. The mounting skirt can be configured so that the clamping between the mounting skirt and the wiper member increases during attachment of the applicator on the container.

L'organe d'essorage peut présenter un rayon extérieur maximal supérieur de 0,1 mm ou plus au rayon intérieur d'une portion de la jupe de montage venant au contact avec l'organe d'essorage, lorsque ce dernier est en position de fermeture sur le récipient. La jupe de montage peut comprimer radialement vers l'intérieur la collerette de l'organe d'essorage lorsque le dispositif est fermé.The wiper member may have a maximum outer radius greater than 0.1 mm or more at the inside radius of a portion of the mounting skirt coming into contact with the wiper member, when the latter is in the closed position on the container. The mounting skirt can compress radially inwards the collar of the body when the device is closed.

La jupe de montage peut comporter, sur sa surface intérieure, une nervure agencée pour venir au contact de la surface périphérique de la collerette en position de fermeture de l'applicateur.The mounting skirt may comprise, on its inner surface, a rib arranged to come into contact with the peripheral surface of the collar in the position of closing the applicator.

La tige peut présenter une section transversale circulaire de diamètre sensiblement constant.The stem may have a circular cross section of diameter substantially constant.

L'organe d'essorage peut comporter une lèvre d'essorage définissant un orifice de section adaptée à celle de la tige à essorer, par exemple un orifice circulaire de diamètre inférieur ou égal au diamètre de la tige, de manière à éviter l'écoulement de produit vers l'intérieur de l'organe de préhension lorsque le dispositif est fermé.The wiper member may comprise a wiper lip defining an orifice of section adapted to that of the squeezing rod, for example a circular orifice of diameter less than or equal to the diameter of the stem, so as to prevent the flow of product to inside the gripping member when the device is closed.

L'élément d'application peut être une brosse, un peigne, un embout, par exemple un embout en mousse ou un embout floqué, cette liste n'étant pas limitative.The application element can be a brush, a comb, a mouthpiece, by example a foam tip or a flocked tip, this list is not limiting.

Le récipient peut contenir un produit cosmétique tel que du mascara, un vernis à ongles ou un rouge à lèvres liquide, par exemple.The container may contain a cosmetic product such as mascara, a varnish nail or liquid lipstick, for example.

On a représenté sur la figure 1 un dispositif 1 de conditionnement et d'application d'un produit P, par exemple un produit cosmétique tel que du mascara.FIG. 1 shows a device 1 for packaging and application of a product P, for example a cosmetic product such as mascara.

Ce dispositif 1 comporte un récipient 2, par exemple de forme allongée, un applicateur 3 ainsi qu'un organe d'essorage 4 fixé à demeure sur le récipient 2.This device 1 comprises a container 2, for example of elongated shape, a applicator 3 and a dewatering member 4 permanently fixed on the container 2.

Ce dernier comporte un corps 10 contenant le produit P, muni dans l'exemple considéré en partie supérieure d'un col 11 d'axe X, fileté extérieurement dans l'exemple illustré, dont l'extrémité supérieure définit une ouverture dans laquelle est engagé l'organe d'essorage 4.The latter comprises a body 10 containing the product P, provided in the example considered in the upper part of an X-axis neck 11, threaded externally in the example illustrated, whose upper end defines an opening in which the organ is engaged spin 4.

Le col 11 présente à son extrémité supérieure un décrochement 57 annulaire, dans l'exemple illustré.The neck 11 has at its upper end a recess 57 annular, in the example shown.

L'applicateur 3 comporte une tige 20, de section circulaire sur sensiblement toute sa longueur dans l'exemple considéré, munie à son extrémité inférieure d'un élément d'application 21 constitué dans l'exemple illustré par une brosse à âme torsadée. La tige 20 se raccorde à son extrémité supérieure à un organe de préhension 22 constituant également un capuchon de fermeture du récipient 2.The applicator 3 comprises a rod 20, of circular section on substantially its entire length in the example considered, provided at its lower end with an element application 21 constituted in the example illustrated by a twisted core brush. The stem 20 is connected at its upper end to a gripping member 22 also constituting a closing cap of the container 2.

La tige 20 et l'organe de préhension 22 sont réalisés d'une seule pièce, par exemple par moulage par injection d'une matière plastique, sur laquelle est ensuite rapporté l'élément d'application 21.The rod 20 and the gripping member 22 are made in one piece, for example by injection molding of a plastic material, on which is then reported the application element 21.

L'organe d'essorage 4 peut être réalisé par exemple dans un matériau élastomère ou dans une polyoléfme, notamment du polyéthylène ou toute autre matière plastique.The wiper member 4 may be made for example of a material elastomer or in a polyolefin, especially polyethylene or any other material plastic.

La jupe de montage peut être réalisée dans une polyoléfine, notamment du polypropylène, dans du POM ou une autre matière plastique. The mounting skirt may be made of a polyolefin, in particular polypropylene, in POM or other plastics material.

L'organe de préhension 22 comporte une jupe de montage 23 tubulaire, de surface extérieure sensiblement cylindrique sur toute sa hauteur dans l'exemple illustré. La jupe de montage 23 se raccorde supérieurement à une paroi transversale 24 qui s'étend sensiblement perpendiculairement à l'axe X dans l'exemple considéré pour relier la tige 20 à la jupe de montage 23 et qui définit une surface supérieure de l'organe de préhension. Cette dernière est filetée intérieurement, de manière à se visser sur le col 11.The gripping member 22 comprises a tubular mounting skirt 23, substantially cylindrical outer surface over its entire height in the example shown. The mounting skirt 23 is connected superiorly to a transverse wall 24 which extends substantially perpendicular to the X axis in the example considered for connecting the rod 20 to the mounting skirt 23 and which defines an upper surface of the gripping member. The latter is threaded internally, so as to screw on the neck 11.

La paroi transversale 24 est située dans l'exemple illustré à distance de l'organe d'essorage 4 lorsque l'applicateur 3 est en position de fermeture du récipient 2, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 1.The transverse wall 24 is situated in the example shown at a distance of the wiper member 4 when the applicator 3 is in the closed position of the container 2, as can be seen in Figure 1.

En se reportant maintenant aux figures 2 et 3, on peut voir que l'organe d'essorage 4 comporte en partie inférieure une lèvre annulaire d'essorage 30, définissant un orifice 37 de section circulaire, cette lèvre 30 étant agencée pour s'appliquer sur la tige 20 et/ou l'élément d'application 21 lors du retrait de l'applicateur 3 hors du récipient. Le diamètre de l'orifice 37 est de préférence inférieur ou égal à celui de la portion de la tige 20 à son contact, de manière à empêcher le produit P de s'échapper du récipient 2 pour aller dans l'espace 27 défini autour de la tige 20 par la jupe de montage 23, lorsque le dispositif 1 est fermé.Referring now to Figures 2 and 3, it can be seen that the organ 4 is at the bottom part of an annular spinning lip 30, defining an orifice 37 of circular section, this lip 30 being arranged to be applied on the stem And / or the applicator element 21 when removing the applicator 3 from the container. The diameter of the orifice 37 is preferably less than or equal to that of the portion of the stem 20 to prevent the product P from escaping from the container 2 to go into the space 27 defined around the rod 20 by the mounting skirt 23, when the device 1 is closed.

L'organe d'essorage 4 comporte un corps 31 venant s'appliquer sur la surface intérieure du col 11. Ce corps 31 peut comporter des moyens de retenue sur le récipient 2, ces moyens de retenue comportant par exemple comme illustré un relief tel qu'un bourrelet annulaire 32 agencé pour se loger dans une gorge correspondante de la surface intérieure du col 11.The wiper member 4 comprises a body 31 which is applied to the surface This body 31 may comprise retaining means on the container 2, these retaining means comprising for example as illustrated a relief such as a bead ring 32 arranged to be housed in a corresponding groove of the inner surface of collar 11.

En partie supérieure, l'organe d'essorage 4 comporte une collerette 35 venant en appui sur l'extrémité supérieure 12 du col 11.In the upper part, the wiper member 4 comprises a flange 35 from resting on the upper end 12 of the neck 11.

La collerette 35 présente sur son pourtour extérieur une surface périphérique 36, contre laquelle s'applique une portion correspondante 25 de la surface intérieure 28 de la jupe de montage 23.The flange 35 has on its outer periphery a peripheral surface 36, against which a corresponding portion 25 of the inner surface 28 of the mounting skirt 23.

Le contact entre la surface périphérique 36 de la collerette 35 de l'organe d'essorage 4 et la portion 25 de la surface intérieure 28 permet d'assurer l'étanchéité de la fermeture du dispositif lorsque l'applicateur est en position de stockage sur le récipient. The contact between the peripheral surface 36 of the collar 35 of the organ 4 and the portion 25 of the inner surface 28 ensures the sealing of the closure of the device when the applicator is in storage position on the container.

Dans l'exemple illustré sur les figures 1 à 3, la collerette 35 comporte un rebord 40 venant recouvrir partiellement, extérieurement, le col 11, le rebord 40 étant logé au moins partiellement dans le décrochement 57 du col 11.In the example illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, the flange 35 comprises a flange 40 from partially covering, externally, the neck 11, the flange 40 being housed at least partially in the recess 57 of the neck 11.

Le diamètre de la portion 25 peut par exemple être légèrement inférieur au diamètre extérieur de la collerette 35. Ainsi, lorsque le dispositif est en position fermée, le rebord 40 est légèrement comprimé radialement et peut le cas échéant se déformer de manière élastique.The diameter of the portion 25 may for example be slightly less than outer diameter of the flange 35. Thus, when the device is in the closed position, the flange 40 is slightly compressed radially and may if necessary deform elastic way.

La collerette 35 peut, en variante, ne pas comporter de rebord 40, comme c'est le cas dans l'exemple des figures 4 à 6.The flange 35 may, as a variant, not have a flange 40, as it is the case in the example of Figures 4 to 6.

On voit sur la figure 6 que le diamètre extérieur de la collerette 35 de l'organe d'essorage 4 peut être légèrement supérieur au diamètre extérieur du col 11.It can be seen in FIG. 6 that the outside diameter of the flange 35 of the organ 4 may be slightly larger than the outside diameter of the neck 11.

Ainsi, lorsque la surface périphérique 36 de la collerette 35 est au contact de la portion 25 de la surface intérieure 28 pour fermer de manière étanche le dispositif, la collerette 35 est légèrement comprimée radialement comme illustré sur la figure 5.Thus, when the peripheral surface 36 of the flange 35 is in contact with the portion 25 of the inner surface 28 to seal the device, the flange 35 is slightly compressed radially as illustrated in FIG.

La surface périphérique 36, radialement extérieure, peut présenter des formes diverses.The peripheral surface 36, which is radially external, may have shapes variety.

A titre d'exemple, on a représenté sur la figure 7 un organe d'essorage 4 dont la collerette 35 présente un bord arrondi convexe vers l'extérieur, définissant la surface périphérique 36.By way of example, FIG. 7 shows a wiper member 4 of which the flange 35 has a rounded edge convex outwardly, defining the surface device 36.

La collerette 35 peut comporter au moins une lèvre d'étanchéité, voire deux lèvres d'étanchéité comme illustré sur la figure 8. Sur cette figure, la collerette 35 est munie sur sa surface périphérique 36 de deux lèvres d'étanchéité annulaires 45 définissant entre elles une gorge 46. Les deux lèvres d'étanchéité 45 viennent au contact de la portion 25 de la surface intérieure 28 de la jupe de montage 23 lorsque le dispositif est fermé.The flange 35 may comprise at least one sealing lip, or even two sealing lips as shown in FIG. 8. In this figure, the flange 35 is provided on its peripheral surface 36 with two annular sealing lips 45 defining between them a groove 46. The two sealing lips 45 come into contact with the portion 25 of the inner surface 28 of the mounting skirt 23 when the device is closed.

L'organe de préhension 22 peut présenter une forme différente sans pour autant sortir du cadre de la présente invention.The gripping member 22 may have a different shape without depart from the scope of the present invention.

A titre d'exemple, on a représenté à la figure 9 un organe de préhension présentant une jupe de montage 23 légèrement tronconique divergeant vers le récipient, de manière à accroítre la force de serrage exercée par la surface intérieure 28 de la jupe de montage 23 sur l'organe d'essorage 4 au fur et à mesure du vissage de l'organe de préhension 22 sur le récipient 2. By way of example, FIG. 9 shows a gripping member having a slightly frustoconical mounting skirt 23 diverging towards the container, to increase the clamping force exerted by the inner surface 28 of the skirt of mounting 23 on the wiper member 4 as and when screwing the body of gripping 22 on the container 2.

L'organe d'essorage 4 peut présenter un rayon extérieur maximal supérieur de 0,1 mm au moins au rayon intérieur de la portion de la jupe de montage venant au contact de l'organe d'essorage.The wiper member 4 may have a maximum outer radius greater than At least 0,1 mm at the inner radius of the portion of the mounting skirt coming into contact of the wiper member.

La fixation de l'applicateur 3 sur le récipient 2 peut se faire d'une autre manière que par vissage.Fixing the applicator 3 on the container 2 can be done another way that by screwing.

Par exemple, ainsi qu'illustré aux figures 10 et 11, la fermeture du dispositif peut se faire par encliquetage de l'organe de préhension 22 sur le col 11 du récipient, la surface intérieure de la jupe de montage 23 présentant dans l'exemple illustré une gorge annulaire 50 et le col 11 un bourrelet correspondant 51.For example, as illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11, closing the device can be done by snapping the gripping member 22 on the neck 11 of the container, the inner surface of the mounting skirt 23 having in the illustrated example a groove annular 50 and the neck 11 a corresponding bead 51.

On peut voir également sur les figures 10 et 11 que la jupe de montage 23 peut présenter un épaulement annulaire 55 venant en appui axialement sur une portion de la surface supérieure 56 de la collerette 35, lorsque le dispositif est fermé.It can also be seen in Figures 10 and 11 that the mounting skirt 23 can have an annular shoulder 55 bearing axially on a portion of the upper surface 56 of the flange 35, when the device is closed.

Dans cet exemple, l'étanchéité est ainsi réalisée par le contact entre la surface intérieure 28 de la jupe de montage 23 et la surface périphérique 36 de la collerette 35 d'une part, et par le contact entre l'épaulement 55 de la jupe de montage 23 et la surface supérieure 56 de la collerette 35 d'autre part.In this example, the sealing is thus achieved by the contact between the surface inside 28 of the mounting skirt 23 and the peripheral surface 36 of the collar 35 on the one hand, and by the contact between the shoulder 55 of the mounting skirt 23 and the surface upper 56 of the flange 35 on the other hand.

L'élément d'application 21 peut être constitué par autre chose qu'une brosse, et notamment, comme illustré sur la figure 12, par un embout qui peut être floqué ou non et comporter ou non une mousse ou, comme illustré sur la figure 13, par un peigne. Ce dernier peut par exemple être réalisé d'une seule pièce par moulage avec la tige et l'organe de préhension. On ne sort pas du cadre de la présente invention si l'applicateur comporte un élément d'application différent de ceux qui viennent d'être décrits, par exemple un pinceau.The application element 21 may be constituted by something other than a brush, and in particular, as illustrated in FIG. 12, by a tip that can be flocked or not and whether or not to include a foam or, as illustrated in Figure 13, by a comb. This last can for example be made in one piece by molding with the rod and the organ grasping. It is not beyond the scope of the present invention if the applicator comprises an application element different from those just described, for example a brush.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits. On peut par exemple donner au récipient ou à l'organe de préhension d'autres formes encore.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments which have just been described. For example, the container or the organ of grasping other forms yet.

On peut encore par exemple, comme illustré à la figure 14, réaliser sur la surface intérieure 28 de la jupe de montage 23 un relief, par exemple une nervure annulaire 60, agencée pour venir au contact de la collerette 35 de l'organe d'essorage lorsque le dispositif est fermé. Ce relief peut par exemple s'appliquer contre la surface périphérique 36. Dans une telle réalisation, la surface périphérique 36 peut par exemple se situer en retrait de la surface radialement extérieure du col 11, comme illustré. For example, as illustrated in FIG. inner surface 28 of the mounting skirt 23 a relief, for example an annular rib 60, arranged to come into contact with the flange 35 of the wiper member when the device is closed. This relief can for example be applied against the peripheral surface 36. In such an embodiment, the peripheral surface 36 may for example be located in removing the radially outer surface of the neck 11, as illustrated.

On peut également, comme illustré sur la figure 15, réaliser la surface intérieure 28 de la jupe de montage 23 avec un épaulement 61, venant en appui sur l'extrémité supérieure 12 du col 11. La portion 25 de la surface intérieure 28 vient au contact de la surface périphérique 36, cette dernière pouvant par exemple se situer en retrait de la surface radialement extérieure du col 11, comme illustré.It is also possible, as illustrated in FIG. inner 28 of the mounting skirt 23 with a shoulder 61, bearing on the upper end 12 of the neck 11. The portion 25 of the inner surface 28 comes to contact of the peripheral surface 36, the latter being able for example to be in removing the radially outer surface of the neck 11, as illustrated.

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 expression "Comprising one" must be understood as being synonymous with "comprising at least a ", unless the opposite is specified.
