Dans un exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, l'organe d'application est non rotatif dans le logement.In an exemplary implementation of the invention, the application member is non-rotating in the housing.

En variante, l'organe d'application peut être mobile en rotation dans le logement, par exemple autour d'un point, notamment un centre de symétrie. En variante, l'organe d'application peut être mobile en rotation autour d'un axe géométrique dans le logement. Cet axe de rotation peut notamment être perpendiculaire à un axe longitudinal du dispositifIn a variant, the applicator member may be rotatable in the housing, for example around a point, including a center of symmetry. In a variant, the applicator member can be rotatable about a geometric axis in the housing. This axis of rotation may in particular be perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the device

L'organe d'application peut présenter diverses formes, par exemple une forme sensiblement sphérique, cylindrique, ovoïde, discoïde, annulaire ou en forme de cacahuète. Il peut être symétrique de révolution, le cas échéant. La surface extérieure de l'organe d'application peut être lisse ou non, être floquée ou non, et présenter entièrement ou non le même aspect de surface.The application member may have various forms, for example a shape substantially spherical, cylindrical, ovoid, discoid, ring-shaped or peanut-shaped. It can be symmetrical of revolution, if necessary. The outer surface of the organ application may be smooth or not, be flocked or not, and fully or same surface appearance.

Le produit peut circuler dans un espace formé entre l'organe d'application et le support, dans lequel règne un champ magnétique.The product can circulate in a space formed between the application member and the support, in which reigns a magnetic field.

L'organe d'application peut comporter au moins une cavité visible à l'oeil nu, laquelle peut permettre par exemple d'augmenter la surface d'échange avec le produit, constituer des réserves de produit et/ou faciliter la traversée du logement contenant l'organe d'application. L'organe d'application peut comporter au moins une ailette. La ou les cavités de l'organe d'application peuvent être réalisées de diverses manières. Au moins une cavité peut être traversante ou borgne.

Les dimensions de l'organe d'application peuvent être choisies en fonction des dimensions du récipient, de la nature du produit et/ou de la nature de la région à traiter. Une plus grande dimension de l'organe d'application peut être comprise par exemple entre 5 mm et 65 mm, notamment entre 7 mm et 50 mm, bornes incluses.The dimensions of the application member can be chosen according to the dimensions of the container, the nature of the product and / or the nature of the area to be treated. A larger dimension of the application member can be understood for example between 5 mm and 65 mm, in particular between 7 mm and 50 mm, terminals included.

L'organe d'application peut être sensiblement non déformable lors de l'application.

Les particules peuvent présenter par exemple l'une au moins des formes suivantes : sphérique, allongée, aplatie.When the particles are coated particles, they may comprise for example a core made of a first material and an envelope made in a second material, different from the first, the envelope extending at least partially around the nucleus. The material of the core and / or the envelope may be magnetic. The For example, particles may have at least one of the following forms: spherical, elongated, flattened.

Le dispositif peut être configuré de manière à créer un champ magnétique variable lors de l'application, ce qui peut être le cas notamment lorsque l'organe d'application est magnétique et mobile.The device can be configured to create a magnetic field variable during the application, which may be the case especially when the Application is magnetic and mobile.

L'organe d'application peut encore être agencé pour générer un champ magnétique d'orientation différente de celle du champ magnétique généré par le support.The application member can be further arranged to generate a field magnetic orientation different from that of the magnetic field generated by the support.

L'invention a encore pour objet, indépendamment ou en combinaison avec ce qui précède, un dispositif de conditionnement et d'application d'un produit, comportant :

  • un support magnétique définissant un logement,

  • a magnetic medium defining a housing,
  • an application member of the product contained in the housing of the support during application and mobile in rotation in the housing of the support.

Un espace peut être défini entre le support et l'organe d'application pour permettre la circulation du produit destiné à être appliqué. Un champ magnétique peut régner dans cet espace.A space can be defined between the support and the application member for allow the circulation of the product to be applied. A magnetic field can to reign in this space.

L'invention a encore pour objet, indépendamment ou en combinaison avec ce qui précède, un dispositif de conditionnement et d'application d'un produit, comportant :

  • fournir un ensemble comportant un support définissant un logement destiné à être traversé par le produit et un organe d'application retenu dans le logement du support, ce dernier comportant des particules magnétiques dispersées,

Dans ce cas, le support et l'organe d'application pourront être magnétisés simultanément.The application member may also comprise magnetic particles. In this case, the support and the application member can be magnetized simultaneously.

Dans le cas où l'organe d'application est mobile, par exemple en rotation, par rapport au support, notamment lors de l'application, les orientations des champs magnétiques générés respectivement par les particules du support et par celles de l'organe d'application pourront évoluer différemment. Les champs magnétiques respectifs du support et de l'organe d'application pourront par exemple être alternativement orientés dans le même sens et en sens contraire. Lesdits champs magnétiques pourront encore être orientés perpendiculairement entre eux.In the case where the applicator member is mobile, for example in rotation, by relation to the support, especially during the application, the orientations of the fields generated respectively by the particles of the support and those of the organ application may evolve differently. The respective magnetic fields of the the support and the application unit may for example be alternately oriented in the same direction and in the opposite direction. Said magnetic fields may still be oriented perpendicularly to each other.

On a représenté sur la figure 1 un dispositif 1 de conditionnement et d'application d'un produit P cosmétique, par exemple de maquillage ou de soin, comportant un récipient 2 contenant le produit P et un organe d'application 3 permettant de le distribuer.FIG. 1 shows a device 1 for packaging and application of a cosmetic product P, for example makeup or care, comprising a container 2 containing the product P and an applicator member 3 making it possible to distribute it.

L'organe d'application 3 est reçu dans un logement 4 défini par un support 5 fixé dans l'exemple décrit par encliquetage sur le col 6 du récipient 2. Le logement 4 est traversé par le produit provenant du récipient 2, ce dernier pouvant circuler dans un espace 80 formé entre l'organe d'application 3 et le support 5, comme illustré schématiquement à la figure 14. L'organe d'application 3 peut venir au contact du support 5 par endroits.The application member 3 is received in a housing 4 defined by a support 5 fixed in the example described by snapping on the neck 6 of the container 2. The housing 4 is crossed by the product from the container 2, the latter being able to circulate in a space 80 formed between the applicator member 3 and the support 5, as illustrated schematically in Figure 14. The application member 3 can come into contact with the support 5 in places.

Le support 5 est dans l'exemple décrit entièrement moulé d'une seule pièce en matière plastique, mais on ne sort pas du cadre de la présente invention si une partie seulement du support 5 est moulée d'une seule pièce en matière plastique. Au moins la partie du support moulée d'une seule pièce en matière plastique peut comporter des particules magnétiques 10 dispersées dans la matière plastique. Ainsi, un champ magnétique peut régner dans l'espace 80 précité.The support 5 is in the example described entirely molded in one piece in plastic material, but it is not beyond the scope of the present invention if a part only the support 5 is molded in one piece of plastics material. At least part of the integrally molded plastic support may magnetic particles dispersed in the plastics material. So a field magnetic can reign in the aforementioned space 80.

Les particules 10 peuvent présenter une aimantation permanente ou être magnétisables. Il peut s'agir par exemple de ferrites ou d'autres oxydes magnétiques.The particles 10 may have permanent magnetization or be magnetizable. It may be for example ferrites or other magnetic oxides.

Dans l'exemple décrit, l'organe d'application 3 présente une forme sensiblement sphérique, étant sensiblement non déformable lors de l'application. Il peut par exemple être réalisé dans un fritté, notamment un fritté d'un matériau thermoplastique.In the example described, the application member 3 has a shape substantially spherical, being substantially non-deformable during application. he can for example be made in a sintered, in particular a sintered thermoplastic material.

La plus grande dimension de l'organe d'application est par exemple comprise entre 5 mm et 65 mm, notamment entre 7 mm et 50 mm.The largest dimension of the application member is, for example, between 5 mm and 65 mm, in particular between 7 mm and 50 mm.

L'organe d'application 3 est par exemple encliqueté dans le logement 4, étant ainsi retenu sur le support 5 autrement que par une attraction magnétique, mais conserve dans l'exemple considéré une mobilité en rotation dans le logement 4 autour de son centre O, sa rotation pouvant contribuer à amener le produit P à traverser plus facilement le logement 4. On ne sort pas du cadre de la présente invention lorsque l'organe d'application 3 est non rotatif, étant par exemple serré dans le logement 4.The applicator member 3 is for example snapped into the housing 4, being thus retained on the support 5 other than by a magnetic attraction, but retains in the example considered a rotation mobility in the housing 4 around its center O, its rotation being able to contribute to make the product P to cross more easily the housing 4. It is not beyond the scope of the present invention when the application member 3 is non-rotating, being for example tight in the housing 4.

Dans l'exemple illustré à la figure 1, l'organe d'application 3 est dépourvu de particules magnétiques, mais on ne sort pas du cadre de la présente invention si l'organe d'application 3 comporte, comme le support 5, des particules magnétiques 10 dispersées, ce que l'on a illustré à la figure 2.In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the application member 3 is devoid of magnetic particles, but it is not beyond the scope of the present invention if the organ 3 comprises, like the support 5, dispersed magnetic particles 10, what has been illustrated in Figure 2.

Le champ magnétique généré par les particules 10 de l'organe d'application 3 peut changer d'orientation, notamment par rapport au champ magnétique généré par les particules 10 du support 5, lorsque l'on entraíne en rotation l'organe d'application 3 par rapport au support 5 pour appliquer le produit sur la surface à traiter, comme illustré à la figure 13. De nouveaux effets sur le produit et/ou à l'application peuvent être ainsi obtenus.The magnetic field generated by the particles 10 of the application member 3 can change orientation, particularly with respect to the magnetic field generated by the particles 10 of the support 5, when the application member 3 is rotated by relative to the support 5 to apply the product to the surface to be treated, as illustrated in FIG. Figure 13. New effects on the product and / or application may be obtained.

Les particules 10 peuvent être, dans le support 5 et/ou dans l'organe d'application 3, toutes de même nature ou non. Le support 5 et/ou l'organe d'application 3 peuvent notamment comporter un mélange de particules 10 réalisées dans différents matériaux.The particles 10 can be in the support 5 and / or in the organ application 3, all of the same nature or not. The support 5 and / or the application member 3 may in particular comprise a mixture of particles 10 made in different materials.

Les particules 10 peuvent présenter des structures diverses. En particulier, on peut utiliser des particules présentant une structure composite, c'est-à-dire comportant au moins un noyau réalisé dans un premier matériau et entouré au moins partiellement par une enveloppe d'un deuxième matériau, différent du premier. Le matériau du noyau et/ou de l'enveloppe peut être magnétique. Les particules peuvent être sensiblement sphériques, ou présenter une forme autre, par exemple sensiblement allongée ou aplatie. Les particules peuvent également présenter une structure à plus de deux couches, par exemple une structure à trois couches. Les particules peuvent encore présenter une enveloppe entourant partiellement un noyau. La taille moyenne des particules peut par exemple être comprise entre 0,1 et 400 µm, notamment entre 0,1 et 150 µm.The particles 10 may have various structures. In particular, can use particles having a composite structure, that is to say comprising least one core made of a first material and at least partially surrounded by a envelope of a second material, different from the first. The core material and / or the envelope can be magnetic. The particles may be substantially spherical, or have a different shape, for example substantially elongated or flattened. The particles may also have a structure with more than two layers, for example a three layer structure. Particles can still present an envelope surrounding partially a nucleus. The average size of the particles can for example be understood between 0.1 and 400 μm, in particular between 0.1 and 150 μm.

Le support 5 et/ou l'organe d'application 3 peut contenir de 5 à 90 % en masse des particules 10, notamment de 7 à 75 %, mieux de 15 à 70 %.The support 5 and / or the application member 3 may contain from 5 to 90% by weight particles 10, especially from 7 to 75%, more preferably from 15 to 70%.

Dans les exemples des figures 1 et 2, le support 5 est fixé par encliquetage sur le col 6 du récipient 2, mais on ne sort pas du cadre de la présente invention lorsque le support 5 est réalisé d'un seul tenant avec le récipient 2, par exemple par moulage, comme illustré sur la figure 3.In the examples of Figures 1 and 2, the support 5 is fixed by snapping on the neck 6 of the container 2, but it is not beyond the scope of the present invention when the support 5 is made in one piece with the container 2, for example by molding, as illustrated in Figure 3.

Le logement 4 du support 5 peut ou non communiquer directement avec un espace intérieur contenant le produit. Dans les exemples des figures 1 à 3, la communication est directe. Dans l'exemple de la figure 4, la communication est indirecte.The housing 4 of the support 5 may or may not communicate directly with a interior space containing the product. In the examples of Figures 1 to 3, the communication is direct. In the example of Figure 4, the communication is indirect.

Dans l'exemple de cette figure, l'organe d'application 3 et le support 5 sont fixés sur la tige 20 d'une pompe 21.In the example of this figure, the application member 3 and the support 5 are fixed on the rod 20 of a pump 21.

Le produit P est distribué au moyen de la pompe 21 en étant prélevé par exemple dans une poche souple 22. Pour actionner la pompe, le support 5 est enfoncé, étant mobile par rapport à la poche 22 et au récipient 2 qui la contient.The product P is dispensed by means of the pump 21 by being withdrawn by example in a flexible pouch 22. To actuate the pump, the support 5 is depressed, being movable relative to the pocket 22 and the container 2 which contains it.

L'organe d'application 3 peut comporter des cavités 30, lesquelles peuvent être formées par exemple par des gorges annulaires s'étendant entre des ailettes 31 de forme discoïde réunies par un noyau central 32, comme illustré à la figure 5. Ces cavités peuvent le cas échéant faciliter la circulation du produit autour de l'organe d'application 3 dans le logement 4.The applicator member 3 may comprise cavities 30, which may be formed for example by annular grooves extending between fins 31 of shape discoid joined by a central core 32, as shown in Figure 5. These cavities can if necessary facilitate the circulation of the product around the application member 3 in the housing 4.

L'organe d'application 3 peut présenter des cavités réalisées de nombreuses autres manières encore.The application member 3 may have numerous cavities made other ways again.

A titre d'exemple, on a représenté sur la figure 6 un organe d'application 3 comportant un passage 35, s'étendant par exemple selon un diamètre. Le passage traversant 35 peut par exemple être réalisé dans le noyau 32 de l'organe d'application illustré à la figure 5. By way of example, FIG. 6 shows an application member 3 having a passage 35, extending for example according to a diameter. The passage through 35 may for example be made in the core 32 of the application member illustrated in Figure 5.

En variante, l'organe d'application peut comporter une enveloppe de forme générale sphérique et des cavités 30 définies par des ailettes 31 s'étendant parallèlement à des méridiennes, comme illustré à la figure 7.In a variant, the applicator member may comprise a shape envelope generally spherical and cavities 30 defined by fins 31 extending parallel to meridians, as shown in Figure 7.

En variante encore, on a représenté à la figure 8 un organe d'application 3 de surface enveloppe sphérique également, comportant des cavités 30 occupant chacune environ un quart d'hémisphère, séparées par des cloisons 36 en forme de quart de disque.In another variant, FIG. 8 shows an application member 3 of FIG. spherical envelope surface also, having cavities 30 occupying each about a quarter of a hemisphere, separated by partitions 36 in the form of quarter disc.

On ne sort pas du cadre de la présente invention lorsque l'organe d'application présente une forme sensiblement cylindrique, annulaire, ovoïde ou une forme de cacahouète.It is not beyond the scope of the present invention when the application member has a substantially cylindrical, annular, ovoid shape or a shape of peanut.

Dans les exemples qui viennent d'être décrits, l'organe d'application est mobile en rotation autour d'un point, mais on ne sort pas du cadre de la présente invention lorsque l'organe d'application est mobile en rotation autour d'un axe dans le logement du support.In the examples which have just been described, the application member is mobile rotation around a point, but it is not beyond the scope of the present invention when the applicator member is rotatable about an axis in the housing of the support.

A titre d'exemple, on a représenté sur les figures 9 et 10 un dispositif dont la structure générale est connue par le brevet US 5 401 113, auquel on pourra se rapporter pour plus de détails.By way of example, FIGS. 9 and 10 show a device whose general structure is known from US Patent 5,401,113, to which reference may be made for more details.

La région inférieure du disque rotatif traverse un logement 53 du support 5 débouchant à l'intérieur du récipient 2. La région supérieure du disque dépasse au-dessus du support 5 et peut servir à l'application du produit.This device comprises a container 2 and an application member 3 under the shape of a rotating disk around a geometric axis of rotation X perpendicular to the longitudinal axis Y of the device The rotary disk is carried by a support 5 fixed on the container 2 and having dispersed magnetic particles. The lower region of rotating disk passes through a housing 53 of the support 5 opening into the interior of the container 2. The upper region of the disc protrudes above the support 5 and can be used for application of the product.

Le disque rotatif est solidaire d'un moyeu 55 dont les extrémités axiales sont accessibles à l'utilisateur depuis l'extérieur, ce qui lui permet de l'entraíner en rotation.The rotating disk is secured to a hub 55 whose axial ends are accessible to the user from the outside, which allows him to drive it in rotation.

On a représenté à la figure 11 un dispositif dont la structure générale est connue par le brevet US 5 836 320, auquel on pourra se reporter pour plus de détails.FIG. 11 shows a device whose general structure is known from US Pat. No. 5,836,320, to which reference may be made for more details.
