  • the latter is in the example considered a radially outer boss 120 adjacent to the helical thread 21 serving screwing on the closure cap 4.
  • the radially inner boss 121 is located on the path of the stop 81 when the ring 3 rotates, so that when the closure cap is in place on the head 6, the deformation radially outwardly of the tab 31 is sufficiently prevented so that the stop 81 can not cross the boss 121.
  • the operation of the device 1 is as follows.
  • the applicator 8 substantially closes the chimney 70, which reduces the risk of a large product flow after the closure cap 4 has been removed, if the opening 71 is directed downwards.
  • the diameter inside the chimney 70 and the outside diameter of the portion of the rod 51 next to the opening 71 in the output position of the applicator 8 are determined according to the rheology of the product, in order to obtain the desired product flow rate.

  • the applicator 8 comes out already soaked with product, which allows an application immediate.
  • the user can compress with thumb and forefinger the flexible body 9 of the reservoir, in pressing on its flattened faces 10, which causes an additional supply of product P on the applicator 8, the product circulating through the peripheral openings 42 as well as by the existing clearance between the ribs 55 and the transverse wall 40, then by the existing gap between the reliefs 64 of the ring 52 and the ring 3 and the channels 130 formed between the crown and the stem, the product also flowing in the existing space 96 around the rod 51 inside the ring 3.
  • the user can turn the ring 3 in the opposite direction, which causes the retraction of the applicator 8, and put back the closing cap 4 in place.
  • the transverse wall 40 no longer carries the guide fingers 48 and includes only the central opening 41, which reduces the section open to the circulation of the product between the inside of the tank 9 and the inside of the ring 3. This increases the pressure drop opposite the circulation of the product from the reservoir to applicator 8 during application.
  • Such an arrangement may be preferable especially when the product is particularly fluid.
  • FIG. 9 also illustrates the possibility for the support 50 of not have channels between the ring 52 and the rod 51, to make even more difficult the circulation of the product from the inside of the tank towards the opening 71, the produced to circulate to win the applicator 8 by the existing clearance between the reliefs 64 and the corresponding helical grooves 62.
  • FIG. 10 illustrates the possibility of producing on crown 52 reliefs capable of closing the peripheral openings 42 of the transverse wall 40, by example when the applicator is in the retracted position, to reduce the section offered to the circulation of the product between the ring 3 and the inside of the tank 9 when the applicator is returned, while benefiting from an additional section when the applicator is in exit position, thanks to the release of the peripheral openings 42.
