Description

La présente invention concerne les ensembles pour le conditionnement et la distribution séparée d'au moins deux produits, notamment deux produits cosmétiques ou de soin.The present invention relates to sets for packaging and separate distribution of at least two products, including two cosmetic or care products.

Par « produit cosmétique », on entend un produit tel que défini dans la Directive 93/35/CEE du Conseil du 14 juin 1993."Cosmetic product" means a product as defined in Council Directive 93/35 / EEC of 14 June 1993.

De l'enseignement du document EP-1378188 on connaît un organe de couplage permettant d'assembler deux dispositifs autonomes de conditionnement et d'application séparé de produits cosmétiques.From the teaching of the document EP-1378188 there is known a coupling member for assembling two autonomous devices for packaging and separate application of cosmetic products.

On connaît par ailleurs du document US-2004-190974 un ensemble comportant deux récipients assemblés. Le premier récipient présente une première ouverture obturée par des moyens présentés par le fond du second récipient. Le second récipient comporte par ailleurs une seconde ouverture obturée par une capsule de fermeture. Les deux récipients sont empilés l'un sur l'autre. De fait, lorsque cet ensemble repose par le fond du premier récipient sur un support plan, les produits respectivement contenus dans le premier et le second récipient restent, du fait de la gravité, respectivement dans le fond de chacun de ces récipients.It is also known from the document US-2004-190974 an assembly comprising two assembled containers. The first container has a first opening closed by means provided by the bottom of the second container. The second container further comprises a second opening closed by a closure cap. The two containers are stacked on top of each other. In fact, when this set rests by the bottom of the first container on a plane support, the products respectively contained in the first and the second container remain, because of gravity, respectively in the bottom of each of these containers.

De la demande de brevet européen EP-A-1382541 , on connaît par ailleurs un ensemble pour le conditionnement séparé de deux produits comportant un récipient contenant un premier produit et obturé par une capsule de fermeture, cette capsule de fermeture comportant une partie de base présentant d'une part des moyens de fixation pour permettre l'obturation du récipient, et d'autre part un logement contenant un deuxième produit. Ce logement est obturé par une partie de la capsule mobile relativement à la partie de base. Dans ce cas également, les produits respectivement contenus dans le récipient et ledit logement stagnent au niveau du fond de leur contenant respectif.From the patent application European EP-A-1382541 , there is also known a set for the separate packaging of two products comprising a container containing a first product and closed by a closure cap, this closure cap having a base portion having on the one hand fixing means to allow the closing the container, and secondly a housing containing a second product. This housing is closed by a portion of the movable capsule relative to the base portion. In this case also, the products respectively contained in the container and said housing stagnate at the bottom of their respective container.

Il existe un besoin de fournir un moyen simple permettant de générer un flux de produit dans l'un au moins du récipient et ou du logement prévu dans la capsule de fermeture de tels ensembles, sans pour autant modifier sensiblement la gestuelle de mise en oeuvre de ces ensembles lors de l'application successive des produits qui y sont respectivement contenus.There is a need to provide a simple means for generating a flow of product in at least one of the container and or the housing provided in the closure cap of such assemblies, without substantially changing the gesture of implementation of these sets during the successive application of the products contained therein respectively.

Du document EP-1000607 , on connaît d'ailleurs un procédé de maquillage des cils consistant en l'application successive de deux produits, le premier produit appliqué étant une composition filmogène et le second produit appliqué consistant en des particules solides saupoudrées sur une couche de cette composition filmogène avant que cette dernière ne sèche.Of the document EP-1000607 there is moreover known a process for making the eyelashes consisting of the successive application of two products, the first product applied being a film-forming composition and the second applied product consisting of solid particles sprinkled on a layer of this film-forming composition before the latter does not dry.

La figure 1 montre un ensemble 1 selon l'invention. L'ensemble 1 comporte un récipient 2 contenant un premier produit P1 et présentant une ouverture 3 pour la distribution de ce premier produit P1. Figure 1, l'ouverture 3 est obturée par une capsule de fermeture 4.Figure 1 shows an assembly 1 according to the invention. The assembly 1 comprises a container 2 containing a first product P1 and having an opening 3 for dispensing this first product P1. Figure 1, the opening 3 is closed by a closure cap 4.

Le récipient 2 peut être réalisé en verre ou dans un matériau thermoplastique. Il peut présenter des parois transparentes permettant de vérifier le niveau de produit P1 restant dans le récipient 2.The container 2 may be made of glass or a thermoplastic material. It may have transparent walls for checking the level of product P1 remaining in the container 2.

Le récipient 2 comporte un axe longitudinal X. Dans les exemples représentés et notamment Figure 1, l'axe X s'étend perpendiculairement à un fond 5 sur lequel le récipient 2 peut reposer sur une surface plane. L'ouverture 3 peut se définir dans un plan parallèle au fond 5.The container 2 has a longitudinal axis X. In the examples shown and in particular Figure 1, the X axis extends perpendicularly to a bottom 5 on which the container 2 can rest on a flat surface. The opening 3 can be defined in a plane parallel to the bottom 5.

La capsule de fermeture 4 comporte une partie de base 6 présentant des moyens de fixation 7 complémentaires de moyens de fixation 8 présentés sur le pourtour extérieur du récipient 2. La partie de base 6 peut notamment être configurée pour se fixer par vissage, encliquetage ou friction sur le récipient 2. Les moyens de fixation 7 et 8 peuvent respectivement comporter un filetage, un relief destiné à permettre l'encliquetage, notamment une gorge ou un bourrelet annulaire, ou encore une partie destinée à coopérer par friction avec le récipient 2.The closure cap 4 comprises a base portion 6 having complementary securing means 7 of fastening means 8 presented on the outer periphery of the container 2. The base portion 6 may in particular be configured to be fixed by screwing, snapping or friction on the container 2. The fastening means 7 and 8 may respectively comprise a thread, a relief intended to allow snapping, in particular an annular groove or bead, or a part intended to cooperate by friction with the container 2.

En particulier, Figure 1, la partie de base 6 comporte un support 9 duquel dépasse une jupe 10 présentant lesdits moyens de fixation 7 pour coopérer avec les moyens de fixation 8 présentés au niveau du col 11 du récipient 2. Le support 9 peut être prévu pour venir en contact étanche avec un pourtour de l'ouverture 3.In particular, Figure 1, the base portion 6 comprises a support 9 which protrudes a skirt 10 having said fastening means 7 to cooperate with the fastening means 8 presented at the neck 11 of the container 2. The support 9 may be provided to come into sealing contact with a periphery of the opening 3.

Selon le mode de réalisation représenté Figure 1, la partie de base 6 comporte un premier organe d'application 12 dépassant du support 9, et s'étendant au moins en partie à l'intérieur du récipient 2 lorsque la capsule de fermeture 4 obture l'ouverture 3. En particulier, ce premier organe d'application 12 est monté à l'extrémité d'une tige 13 dressée perpendiculairement au support 9.According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the base portion 6 comprises a first applicator member 12 protruding from the support 9, and extending at least partly inside the receptacle 2 when the closure cap 4 closes the receptacle. In particular, this first applicator member 12 is mounted at the end of a rod 13 erected perpendicularly to the support 9.

Comme représenté Figure 1, la tige 13 dépasse d'un porte-tige 14 rapporté et retenu par coopération avec la jupe 10, ce porte tige 14 présentant lesdits moyens de fixation 7. Ce porte tige 14 peut être prévu pour venir en contact étanche avec un pourtour de l'ouverture 3, le cas échéant. Toujours selon ce mode de réalisation, le premier produit P1 est une composition cosmétique, telle qu'un mascara, destinée à être appliquée sur les fibres kératiniques, le premier organe d'application 12 est alors configuré pour une telle application et se présente sous la forme d'une brosse empoilée. A cet effet, le col 11 est muni d'un essoreur 15 destiné à coopérer avec la brosse de manière à calibrer la quantité de produit présenté sur la brosse lors de chaque application.As shown in Figure 1, the rod 13 protrudes from a rod holder 14 attached and retained by cooperation with the skirt 10, the rod holder 14 having said fastening means 7. This rod holder 14 may be provided to come into sealing contact with a periphery of the opening 3, if any. Still according to this embodiment, the first product P1 is a cosmetic composition, such as a mascara, intended to be applied to keratinous fibers, the first application member 12 is then configured for such an application and is in the form of a pasted brush. For this purpose, the neck 11 is provided with a wiper 15 intended to cooperate with the brush so as to calibrate the amount of product presented on the brush during each application.

L'ensemble 1 selon l'invention permet un maquillage visant dans un premier temps à appliquer le premier produit P1, et dans un second temps à appliquer un second produit P2. A cet effet, la capsule de fermeture 4 comporte un logement 16 défini dans une partie mobile 17 de cette capsule 4. Cette partie 17 est dite mobile car elle peut être déplacée relativement à la partie de base 6 de cette même capsule.The assembly 1 according to the invention allows a makeup aiming at first to apply the first product P1, and in a second time to apply a second product P2. For this purpose, the closure cap 4 has a housing 16 defined in a movable portion 17 of the capsule 4. This portion 17 is said to be mobile because it can be moved relative to the base portion 6 of the same capsule.

Dans l'exemple représenté Figure 1, la partie mobile 17 est reliée à la partie de base 6 d'un côté opposé à celui duquel dépasse la jupe de fixation 10. Elle est notamment montée sur cette partie de base 6 de telle sorte que la partie de base 6 soit apte à masquer une ouverture 18 d'accès au logement 16. La partie 17 étant mobile, elle est configurée pour pouvoir passer de cette première position dite « fermée » dans laquelle l'accès au logement 16 est masqué à une deuxième position dite « ouverte » dans laquelle l'ouverture 18 du logement 16 est accessible.In the example shown in FIG. 1, the mobile part 17 is connected to the base part 6 on a side opposite to that of which the fixing skirt 10 projects. It is in particular mounted on this base part 6 so that the base part 6 is able to mask an opening 18 for access to the housing 16. The part 17 being mobile, it is configured to be able to pass from this first so-called "closed" position in which the access to the housing 16 is masked to a second "open" position in which the opening 18 of the housing 16 is accessible.

Pour maintenir la position fermée, la partie mobile 17 peut être configurée pour être retenue par vissage, encliquetage ou friction sur la partie de base 6. Dans l'exemple représenté Figure 2, la partie mobile 17 présente une languette élastiquement déformable 19 apte à coopérer par encliquetage avec une gorge complémentaire 20 présentée au niveau du pourtour intérieur d'une seconde jupe 21 dépassant du support 9 dans une direction opposée à celle de la première jupe 10.To maintain the closed position, the movable portion 17 can be configured to be retained by screwing, snapping or friction on the base portion 6. In the example shown in Figure 2, the movable portion 17 has an elastically deformable tongue 19 adapted to cooperate snap-fastening with a complementary groove 20 presented at the inner periphery of a second skirt 21 protruding from the support 9 in a direction opposite to that of the first skirt 10.

Lorsque l'utilisatrice souhaite appliquer le premier produit P1, la partie de base 6 et la partie mobile 17 sont de préférence maintenues en position fermée pour former un organe de préhension et de manipulation du premier organe d'application 12.When the user wishes to apply the first product P1, the base portion 6 and the movable portion 17 are preferably held in closed position to form a member for gripping and handling the first applicator member 12.

Pour appliquer le second produit P2, la partie de base 6 est de préférence montée sur le récipient 2 de manière à faciliter la manutention, et la partie mobile 17 est amenée de la position « fermée » à la position « ouverte » de manière à rendre l'ouverture 18 accessible. En effet, cette ouverture 18 est obturée par un couvercle 22, tel que dans la position « fermée », le couvercle 22 est inaccessible, masqué par la partie de base 6, entre la partie de base 6 et la partie mobile 17, alors que dans la position ouverte, le couvercle 22 est accessible de manière à pouvoir être dégagé de l'ouverture 18. L'utilisatrice retire alors ledit couvercle 22 et prélève une quantité de ce second produit P2. Le second produit P2 peut être appliqué au même endroit, par-dessus le premier produit P1, ou bien être appliqué sur une zone distincte de celle où a déjà été appliqué le premier produit P1.To apply the second product P2, the base portion 6 is preferably mounted on the container 2 so as to facilitate handling, and the movable portion 17 is brought from the "closed" position to the "open" position so as to render the opening 18 accessible. Indeed, this opening 18 is closed by a cover 22, such that in the "closed" position, the cover 22 is inaccessible, hidden by the base portion 6, between the base portion 6 and the movable portion 17, while in the open position, the cover 22 is accessible so as to be clear of the opening 18. The user then removes said cover 22 and takes a quantity of this second product P2. The second product P2 can be applied at the same place, over the first product P1, or be applied on a separate area from that where the first product P1 has already been applied.

Le couvercle 22 est configuré pour être retenu par vissage, encliquetage ou friction sur la partie mobile 17 de manière à obturer l'ouverture 18 dudit logement dans les positions respectivement « ouverte » et « fermée ».The cover 22 is configured to be retained by screwing, snapping or friction on the movable portion 17 so as to close the opening 18 of said housing in the "open" and "closed" positions respectively.

Pour faciliter l'application de ce second produit P2, l'ensemble 1 peut comporter un second organe d'application 23 dédié pour l'application du second produit P2.To facilitate the application of this second product P2, the assembly 1 may comprise a second dedicated application member 23 for the application of the second product P2.

En particulier, ce second organe d'application 23 peut être configuré pour s'étendre dans le logement 16. II peut aussi être retenu sur le couvercle 22 de manière à ce que ce dernier forme un moyen de préhension dudit organe d'application 23.In particular, this second applicator member 23 can be configured to extend into the housing 16. It can also be retained on the cover 22 so that the latter forms a means for gripping said applicator member 23.

Dans l'exemple représenté Figures 1 et 2, le second produit P2 est pulvérulent et comporte des corps solides tels que des paillettes et/ou des pigments, par exemple de la nacre, et le second organe d'application 23 se présente sous la forme d'un organe élastiquement déformable par exemple réalisé à partir d'une mousse floquée. Cet organe 23 est en particulier présenté à l'extrémité d'une seconde tige 24 dépassant d'une face 25 du couvercle 22, la face 25 étant disposée en regard de l'intérieur du logement 16 lorsque le couvercle 22 obture ce logement 16.In the example shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the second product P2 is pulverulent and comprises solid bodies such as flakes and / or pigments, for example nacre, and the second applicator member 23 is in the form of an elastically deformable member, for example made from a flocked foam. This member 23 is in particular presented at the end of a second rod 24 protruding from a face 25 of the cover 22, the face 25 being disposed facing the interior of the housing 16 when the cover 22 closes the housing 16.

Avec un ensemble selon le mode de réalisation des Figures 1 et 2, l'utilisatrice peut effectuer un maquillage de ses cils commençant par l'application du premier produit P1 au moyen du premier organe d'application 12, et avant que le produit P1 étalé n'ait totalement séché sur ses cils, elle applique le second produit P2 de telle sorte qu'il soit retenu sur ses cils par ce premier produit.With an assembly according to the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2, the user can make a makeup of her eyelashes starting with the application of the first product P1 by means of the first applicator member 12, and before the product P1 spread has fully dried on her eyelashes, she applies the second product P2 so that it is retained on her eyelashes by this first product.

En particulier lorsque le second produit P2 est fluide et notamment pulvérulent, il a tendance, pendant son stockage, à s'agglomérer et à former des paquets de taille nettement supérieure à celle des particules que l'utilisatrice cherche à s'appliquer. Il devient alors difficile pour l'utilisatrice de doser correctement la quantité de ce deuxième produit à appliquer. Du fait que le logement 16 est prévu dans la partie mobile 17 de la capsule de fermeture 4, lorsque l'utilisatrice amène ladite capsule dans la position ouverte, elle tient dans une main le récipient 2 obturé par la partie de base 6, et la partie mobile 17 est entraînée en rotation relativement à cette partie de base 6. Le passage de la position fermée à la position ouverte génère donc un flux de produit dans le logement 16 du fait du mouvement imposé à la partie mobile 17 et de la gravité.In particular, when the second product P2 is fluid and in particular powdery, it tends, during its storage, to agglomerate and form packets much larger in size than the particles that the user seeks to apply. It then becomes difficult for the user to correctly dose the amount of this second product to be applied. Because the housing 16 is provided in the movable portion 17 of the closure cap 4, when the user brings said capsule into the open position, it holds in one hand the container 2 closed by the base portion 6, and the moving part 17 is rotated relative to this base portion 6. The passage from the closed position to the open position therefore generates a product flow in the housing 16 due to the movement imposed on the moving part 17 and gravity.

De même lorsque le second produit P2 est fluide et notamment liquide, il peut être prévu de l'appliquer au moyen du second organe d'application 23. Or, après plusieurs applications, le niveau restant de produit dans le logement ne garantit pas forcément que le second organe d'application soit immergé dans ledit second produit. Le fait d'entraîner la partie mobile 17 en mouvement relativement à la partie de base 6 génère un flux de produit dans le logement, ce qui améliore la mise en contact du second produit avec le second organe d'application.Similarly, when the second product P2 is fluid and in particular liquid, it can be provided to apply it by means of the second application member 23. However, after several applications, the remaining level of product in the housing does not necessarily guarantee that the second applicator member is immersed in said second product. Driving the movable portion 17 in motion relative to the base portion 6 generates a flow of product into the housing, which improves the contacting of the second product with the second applicator member.

En effet, la partie mobile 17 est dans le mode de réalisation présenté Figures 1 et 2 reliée par une charnière 26 à la partie de base 6. En particulier cette charnière 26 est du type charnière film comme représenté Figure 3, la partie de base 6 et la partie mobile 17 pouvant alors être obtenue d'une seule pièce de moulage. La partie mobile 17 peut être entraînée en rotation autour d'un axe Y passant par cette charnière.Indeed, the movable portion 17 is in the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2 connected by a hinge 26 to the base portion 6. In particular this hinge 26 is of the film hinge type as shown in Figure 3, the base portion 6 and the movable portion 17 can then be obtained from a single molding piece. The movable portion 17 can be rotated about an axis Y passing through this hinge.

L'axe de rotation Y est de préférence orthogonal à l'axe longitudinal X. Ainsi dans la position fermée, la partie mobile 17 est disposée sur la partie de base 6 de telle sorte que l'ouverture 18 soit perpendiculaire à cet axe longitudinal X, et qu'un axe longitudinal de la capsule de fermeture 4 se superpose sensiblement à l'axe longitudinal X. Du passage de la position fermée à la position ouverte, la partie mobile 17 est conduite à effectuer une rotation de 180°, la partie de base 6 et le récipient 2 étant maintenu de telle sorte que l'axe X soit dressé perpendiculairement à l'horizontale. Dans la position ouverte, la partie mobile 17 est amenée à être disposée à côté de la partie de base 6 de telle sorte qu'une bordure délimitant la partie mobile s'étend dans un même plan que la bordure délimitant la seconde jupe 21.The axis of rotation Y is preferably orthogonal to the longitudinal axis X. Thus in the closed position, the movable portion 17 is disposed on the base portion 6 so that the opening 18 is perpendicular to this longitudinal axis X , and that a longitudinal axis of the closure cap 4 is substantially superimposed on the longitudinal axis X. From the closed position to the open position, the movable portion 17 is caused to rotate 180 °, the portion base 6 and the container 2 being held so that the X axis is erected perpendicular to the horizontal. In the open position, the movable portion 17 is made to be disposed next to the base portion 6 so that a border delimiting the movable portion extends in the same plane as the border delimiting the second skirt 21.

Dans la position ouverte, l'ouverture 18 du logement est présentée vers le haut, et le second produit ne risque pas de s'écouler par gravité hors de ce logement 16, même si le couvercle 22 est retiré.In the open position, the opening 18 of the housing is presented upwards, and the second product is not likely to flow by gravity out of this housing 16, even if the cover 22 is removed.

Dans la position fermée, l'ouverture 18 est présentée vers le bas, si l'ouverture 3 du récipient 2 est orientée vers le haut.In the closed position, the opening 18 is presented downwards, if the opening 3 of the container 2 is oriented upwards.

La charnière film 26 peut être une charnière à effet ressort pour faciliter et accélérer le passage de la position fermée à la position ouverte, et réciproquement. Dans ce cas, la charnière film 26 comporte alors au moins une bande de liaison 27 reliant la partie de base 6 à la partie mobile 17 telle que cette bande de liaison 27 passe par un optimum de tension ou de compression lorsque la partie mobile 17 est déplacée relativement à la partie de base 6.The film hinge 26 may be a spring hinge for facilitating and accelerating the passage from the closed position to the open position, and vice versa. In this case, the film hinge 26 then comprises at least one connecting strip 27 connecting the base portion 6 to the mobile part 17 such that this connecting strip 27 passes through an optimum of tension or compression when the moving part 17 is displaced relative to the base portion 6.

Le couvercle 22 peut être prévu amovible relativement la partie mobile 17. Alternativement, il pourrait également être lié via une charnière du type charnière film à cette partie mobile 17.The cover 22 can be removably provided relative to the movable portion 17. Alternatively, it could also be linked via a hinge of the film hinge type to this movable part 17.

Pour faciliter la mise en place et le retrait du couvercle 22 relativement à la partie mobile, le couvercle 22 comporte un moyen de préhension 28. Le moyen de préhension dépasse d'une face 29 de ce couvercle opposée à la face 25 disposée en regard du logement 16. Le moyen de préhension peut se présenter sous la forme d'un picot dressé perpendiculairement à la face 29. En position fermée, le moyen de préhension 28 s'étend dans une espace situé entre le couvercle 22 et le support 9, cet espace est au moins en partie délimité latéralement par la seconde jupe 21 de la partie de base 6.To facilitate the introduction and removal of the cover 22 relative to the movable portion, the cover 22 comprises a gripping means 28. The gripping means protrudes from a face 29 of this cover opposite to the face 25 disposed opposite the 16. The gripping means may be under the in the closed position, the gripping means 28 extends in a space between the cover 22 and the support 9, this space is at least partially delimited laterally by the second skirt 21 of the base part 6.

En variante, comme représenté aux Figures 4 à 15, les différents éléments de l'ensemble selon l'invention sont numérotés avec le préfixe de la centaine relativement aux éléments identiques du premier mode de réalisation.Alternatively, as shown in Figures 4 to 15, the various elements of the assembly according to the invention are numbered with the prefix of one hundred relative to the identical elements of the first embodiment.

En particulier l'ensemble 101 de la figure 4 comporte un récipient 102 pouvant se présenter sous la forme d'un tube à paroi souple, tel qu'une pression exercée sur le pourtour extérieur de ces parois conduit à les déformer et à diminuer le volume interne de ce tube. Le premier produit P1 contenu dans ce tube peut alors être poussé hors de l'ouverture 103 délimitée par ce tube et être prélevé par exemple directement au doigt par l'utilisatrice. Dans le mode de réalisation présenté Figure 4, l'ensemble 101 ne comporte pas de premier applicateur. L'ouverture et la fermeture de la capsule de fermeture 104 sur le tube est en particulier obtenu par vissage des moyens de fixation respectivement 107 et 108 prévus.In particular, the assembly 101 of FIG. 4 comprises a container 102 which may be in the form of a tube with a flexible wall, such that a pressure exerted on the outer periphery of these walls leads to deforming them and reducing the volume. internal of this tube. The first product P1 contained in this tube can then be pushed out of the opening 103 defined by this tube and be taken for example directly to the finger by the user. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the assembly 101 does not include a first applicator. The opening and closing of the closure cap 104 on the tube is in particular obtained by screwing the fastening means respectively 107 and 108 provided.

Par ailleurs, dans ce mode de réalisation, la partie mobile 117 est vissée de manière amovible sur la partie de base 106, de telle sorte que le passage de la position fermée à la position ouverte est obtenu au moins en entraînant en rotation la partie mobile 117 relativement à la partie de base 106 autour de l'axe longitudinal X. Lors de ce dévissage, le flux créé dans le logement 116 est centrifuge. De plus, lorsque la partie mobile 117 a été dévissée, elle doit être retournée pour permettre à l'utilisatrice d'accéder aux moyens de préhension 128 afin de retirer le couvercle 122. En retournant la partie mobile 117, un flux de produit P2 est également généré dans le logement 116.Furthermore, in this embodiment, the movable portion 117 is removably screwed onto the base portion 106, so that the transition from the closed position to the open position is achieved at least by rotating the moving part. 117 relative to the base portion 106 about the longitudinal axis X. During this unscrewing, the flow created in the housing 116 is centrifuged. In addition, when the movable portion 117 has been unscrewed, it must be turned over to allow the user to access the gripping means 128 in order to remove the cover 122. By turning over the moving part 117, a flow of product P2 is also generated in dwelling 116.

Dans un mode de réalisation selon l'invention notamment représenté Figure 4, l'ensemble peut ne pas présenter de second applicateur pour le second produit. Le second produit peut également être prélevé au doigt directement dans le logement 116 dès lors que le couvercle 122 a été retiré. Selon la figure 4, le couvercle 122 est maintenu par friction contre un pourtour intérieur de la partie mobile 117 délimitant le logement 116. Dans la position fermée, le moyen de préhension 128 est amené en butée contre une face du support 109.In one embodiment according to the invention, in particular shown in FIG. 4, the assembly may not have a second applicator for the second product. The second product can also be sampled directly in the housing 116 when the cover 122 has been removed. According to Figure 4, the cover 122 is held by friction against an inner periphery of the movable portion 117 delimiting the housing 116. In the closed position, the gripping means 128 is brought into abutment against a face of the support 109.

Le ou les organes d'application prévus dans un ensemble tel que 1 selon l'invention peuvent présenter un état de surface et des formes diverses et la surface d'application de ces organes peut, par exemple, avoir une forme généralement convexe vers l'extérieur.The application member or members provided in an assembly such as 1 according to the invention may have a surface state and various shapes and the application surface of these members may, for example, have a generally convex shape towards the outside.

Selon d'autres variantes de réalisation, ces organes d'application tels que 12 et ou 23 peuvent être poreux. Ils peuvent comporter par exemple une mousse à cellules ouvertes ou fermées. Ils peuvent être compressibles, comportant par exemple un matériau élastiquement déformable tel qu'une mousse de polyuréthane, de polyester, de polyéther, de PVC, de NBR ou un feutre. Ils peuvent aussi être réalisés dans un matériau non compressible, tel qu'un fritté, par exemple un fritté de polyéthylène, de PVC, d'EVA, de polyamide, de laiton. Notamment lorsque l'organe d'application comporte un matériau non poreux, déformable ou non, il peut être percé d'au moins un orifice permettant le passage du produit.According to other embodiments, these application members such as 12 and 23 may be porous. They may comprise for example an open cell foam or closed. They may be compressible, comprising for example an elastically deformable material such as a polyurethane foam, polyester, polyether, PVC, NBR or felt. They can also be made of a non-compressible material, such as a sintered material, for example sintered from polyethylene, PVC, EVA, polyamide or brass. In particular when the applicator member comprises a non-porous material, deformable or not, it can be pierced with at least one orifice allowing the passage of the product.

Les organes d'application selon l'invention peuvent comporter, extérieurement, une peau réalisée dans un matériau imperméable et traversée par au moins un orifice permettant le passage du premier produit. La surface d'application dudit organe d'application peut aussi être définie, par exemple, par un tissé, un non-tissé, un tamis ou un cuir. Les organes d'application 12 et ou 23 peuvent comporter plusieurs couches de natures différentes.The application members according to the invention may comprise, externally, a skin made of an impermeable material and traversed by at least one orifice allowing the passage of the first product. The application surface of said applicator member may also be defined, for example, by a woven fabric, a nonwoven, a screen or a leather. The application members 12 and 23 may comprise several layers of different natures.

Les organes d'application selon l'invention peuvent aussi se présenter sous la forme d'une brosse, d'un peigne, d'un pinceau, d'un tampon, ou d'un embout élastiquement déformable, éventuellement floqué.The application members according to the invention may also be in the form of a brush, a comb, a brush, a buffer, or an elastically deformable tip, optionally flocked.

En particulier, dans le mode de réalisation de l'ensemble 201 selon l'invention présenté Figure 5, variante du mode de réalisation de la Figure 1, le premier organe applicateur 212 se présente sous la forme d'un embout poreux floqué, le premier produit P1 étant de préférence liquide, et l'ensemble 201 selon cette variante ne comporte pas de second organe applicateur.In particular, in the embodiment of the assembly 201 according to the invention shown in Figure 5, variant of the embodiment of Figure 1, the first applicator member 212 is in the form of a porous tip flocked, the first product P1 being preferably liquid, and the assembly 201 according to this variant does not include a second applicator member.

Dans le mode de réalisation de l'ensemble 301 selon l'invention présenté Figure 6, le premier produit P1 est un vernis à ongles, et le second produit P2 se présente sous la forme de paillettes. Dans ce cas, le premier organe d'application se présente sous la forme d'un pinceau 312, et le second organe d'application se présente sous la forme d'un tampon 323. Le tampon comporte un motif apte à se charger en surface d'une fine pellicule de paillettes. Figure 7 différents motifs pouvant notamment être présentés par le tampon 323 sont présentés. Un tel ensemble permet en particulier d'appliquer une couche de vernis sur les ongles et de tamponner ensuite un motif pailleté sur la couche de vernis en train de sécher de manière à retenir les paillettes dans le vernis et créer un effet esthétique.In the embodiment of the assembly 301 according to the invention shown in FIG. 6, the first product P1 is a nail polish, and the second product P2 is in the form of flakes. In this case, the first applicator member is in the form of a brush 312, and the second applicator member is in the form of a buffer 323. The stamp comprises a pattern capable of being loaded on the surface a thin film of glitter. 7 different patterns that can be presented by the buffer 323 are presented. Such an assembly allows in particular to apply a layer of varnish on the nails and then stamp a glittery pattern on the varnish layer being dried so as to retain the flakes in the varnish and create an aesthetic effect.

Dans le mode de réalisation de l'ensemble 401 selon l'invention présenté Figure 8, le récipient 402 est un récipient aérosol, le premier produit P1 y est contenu sous pression, et sa distribution peut être obtenue via une valve 450 débouchant dans un corps poreux 412 disposé en regard d'un orifice de sortie 451 de la valve 450 et servant de premier organe d'application. Le premier organe d'application 412 est masqué par la partie de base 406 de la capsule de fermeture qui est retenue par encliquetage sur le support 452 du corps poreux monté sur le corps de valve 450. Dans ce cas, la face 425 du couvercle 422 orientée vers l'intérieur du logement 416 est recouverte d'un film, par exemple non tissé, destiné à former le second organe d'application 423.In the embodiment of the assembly 401 according to the invention shown in FIG. 8, the container 402 is an aerosol container, the first product P1 is contained under pressure, and its distribution can be obtained via a valve 450 opening into a body porous 412 disposed opposite an outlet 451 of the valve 450 and serving as the first application member. The first applicator member 412 is masked by the base portion 406 of the closure cap which is snapped onto the support 452 of the porous body mounted on the valve body 450. In this case, the face 425 of the cover 422 oriented towards the interior of the housing 416 is covered with a film, for example non-woven, intended to form the second applicator member 423.

Dans le mode de réalisation de l'ensemble 501 selon l'invention présenté Figure 9, le premier produit se présente sous la forme d'un pain monté sur un organe mobile de manière à pouvoir être présenté hors du récipient 502, ce premier produit prenant par exemple la forme d'un pain de rouge à lèvres. La capsule de fermeture 504 est prévue pour être montée sur le récipient 502 lorsque le pain de produit est ramené à l'intérieur du récipient. Le second produit contenu dans la partie mobile 517 peut être destiné à être appliqué sur les lèvres, il s'agit par exemple d'un gloss.In the embodiment of the assembly 501 according to the invention shown in FIG. 9, the first product is in the form of a roll mounted on a movable member so that it can be presented outside the container 502, this first product taking for example the shape of a lipstick bread. The closure cap 504 is provided to be mounted on the container 502 when the product bread is returned to the interior of the container. The second product contained in the movable portion 517 may be intended to be applied to the lips, it is for example a gloss.

Dans le mode de réalisation de l'ensemble 601 représenté à la Figure 10, le récipient 602 est sous forme d'un flacon contenant un premier produit P1. Il est fermé par une capsule 604 qui comporte une partie de base 606, et cette fois deux logements délimités respectivement par deux parties mobiles 617a et 617b contenant respectivement un deuxième et un troisième produit P2 et P3.In the embodiment of the assembly 601 shown in Figure 10, the container 602 is in the form of a vial containing a first product P1. It is closed by a capsule 604 which comprises a base portion 606, and this time two housings delimited respectively by two moving parts 617a and 617b respectively containing a second and a third product P2 and P3.

La partie de base 606 vient se visser sur le col du récipient 602. Elle porte un organe d'application 612 à l'extrémité d'une tige 613, par exemple sous forme d'un pinceau, qui est contenu dans le récipient 602 lorsque la partie de base est vissée sur le col.The base portion 606 is screwed onto the neck of the container 602. It carries an applicator member 612 at the end of a stem 613, for example in the form of a brush, which is contained in the container 602 when the base part is screwed on the neck.

La capsule 604 comporte deux parties mobiles 617a et 617b de part et d'autre de la partie de base 606, les deux parties mobiles étant sensiblement symétrique par rapport à un plan médian passant par l'axe X du récipient. Les parties mobiles 617a et 617b sont reliées à la partie de base 606 par des charnières 626a et 626b, notamment des charnières film, situées à l'extrémité supérieure des parties mobiles. Les parties mobiles 617a et 617b peuvent être entraînées en rotation autour d'un axe passant par ces charnières et perpendiculaires à l'axe X. Elles peuvent être maintenues en position fermée sur la partie de base 606 par exemple par encliquetage.The capsule 604 has two moving parts 617a and 617b on either side of the base portion 606, the two moving parts being substantially symmetrical with respect to a median plane passing through the axis X of the container. The movable portions 617a and 617b are connected to the base portion 606 by hinges 626a and 626b, including film hinges, located at the upper end of the movable portions. The movable parts 617a and 617b can be rotated about an axis passing through these hinges and perpendicular to the axis X. They can be held in the closed position on the base portion 606 for example by snapping.

Chaque partie mobile 617a et 617b a une ouverture 618a et 618b formée à son extrémité inférieure. Chaque ouverture 618a et 618b est fermée par un couvercle 622a et 622b configuré pour être retenu par exemple par encliquetage sur la partie mobile 617a et 617b de manière à obturer l'ouverture 618a et 618b du logement dans les positions « ouverte » et « fermée ».Each movable portion 617a and 617b has an opening 618a and 618b formed at its lower end. Each opening 618a and 618b is closed by a cover 622a and 622b configured to be retained for example by snapping on the movable part 617a and 617b so as to close the opening 618a and 618b of the housing in the "open" and "closed" positions .

Lorsque les parties mobiles 617a et 617b sont encliquetées sur la partie de base 606, comme on le voit à la figure 10, les couvercles 622 sont fermés et ils se trouvent en regard de l'épaule du flacon. L'accès aux logements 616a et 616b est ainsi masqué en partie par la partie de base 606 mais aussi par le flacon.When the movable portions 617a and 617b are snapped onto the base portion 606, as shown in FIG. 10, the covers 622 are closed and facing the shoulder of the vial. Access to the housing 616a and 616b is thus masked in part by the base portion 606 but also by the bottle.

Lorsque l'utilisatrice souhaite appliquer le deuxième ou le troisième produit P2 ou P3, elle fait pivoter l'une ou l'autre des parties mobiles 617a ou 617b autour des charnières 626a ou 626b de manière à dégager les couvercles 622a ou 622b et les rendre accessibles. Il lui suffit ensuite de retirer le couvercle pour accéder au produit.When the user wishes to apply the second or third product P2 or P3, she rotates one or other of the moving parts 617a or 617b around hinges 626a or 626b so as to disengage the covers 622a or 622b and make them accessible. It then suffices to remove the cover to access the product.

Selon ce mode de réalisation, chaque couvercle 622a et 622b porte un organe d'application 623a et 623b.According to this embodiment, each cover 622a and 622b carries an applicator member 623a and 623b.

Au lieu d'être reliées à la partie de base 706 par des charnières, les parties mobiles 717a et 717b peuvent être fixées de manière amovible sur la partie de base 706 grâce à une nervure venant se loger dans une gorge. Selon un mode de réalisation illustré à la figure 11, chaque partie mobile 717a et 717b peut comporter une nervure 730 s'étendant sur une partie de sa hauteur, parallèlement à l'axe X lorsque la capsule est en position fermée. La nervure 730 a une section transversale en forme de T. Elle est configurée pour venir coulisser dans une gorge 731 de forme complémentaire prévue sur la partie de base 706 comme on le voit à la figure 13. Les parties mobiles peuvent ainsi coulisser dans les gorges 731 jusqu'à se désolidariser complètement de la partie de base 706. On choisira les dimensions des nervures et des gorges de manière à ce qu'il y ait suffisamment de frottements entre les deux pièces pour éviter que les parties mobiles ne se désolidarisent de la partie de base sous l'effet de la simple gravité, tout en permettant le coulissement des parties mobiles lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite les retirer.Instead of being connected to the base portion 706 by hinges, the movable portions 717a and 717b can be removably attached to the base portion 706 by means of a rib which is received in a groove. According to an embodiment illustrated in Figure 11, each movable portion 717a and 717b may comprise a rib 730 extending over a portion of its height, parallel to the axis X when the capsule is in the closed position. The rib 730 has a T-shaped cross-section. It is configured to slide in a complementary shaped groove 731 provided on the base portion 706 as seen in FIG. 13. The movable portions can thus slide in the grooves. 731 to completely separate from the base portion 706. The dimensions of the ribs and grooves will be chosen so that there is sufficient friction between the two parts to prevent the moving parts from dissociating from the basic part under the effect of the simple gravity, while allowing the sliding of the moving parts when the user wishes to remove them.

Selon ce mode de réalisation, l'une des parties mobiles 717b peut être identique à celle illustrée à la figure 10, c'est-à-dire comporter une ouverture 718b à son extrémité inférieure fermée par un couvercle 722b, le couvercle portant un organe d'application 723b.According to this embodiment, one of the moving parts 717b may be identical to that illustrated in FIG. 10, that is to say include an opening 718b at its lower end closed by a cover 722b, the cover carrying an organ 723b.

Lorsque l'on fait coulisser la partie de base 717b dans la gorge 731 en l'écartant du flacon, l'épaule du flacon ne masque plus le couvercle 722b qui devient accessible de manière à pouvoir être dégagé de l'ouverture 718b.When the base portion 717b is slid into the groove 731 away from the vial, the shoulder of the vial no longer masks the cover 722b which becomes accessible so that it can be released from the opening 718b.

La deuxième partie mobile 717a de la capsule 704, illustrée à la figure 12, comporte cette fois une ouverture 718a délimitée à l'extrémité supérieure de la partie mobile. Elle est fermée par un volet 722 formé sur le côté de la partie mobile qui vient en regard de la partie de base 706 lorsque la partie mobile est montée sur la partie de base, au dessus de la nervure 730. Le volet est configuré pour pivoter autour d'un axe perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal de la nervure, juste au dessus de celle-ci, à la manière d'un verseur. Le produit P2 contenu dans le logement 716a peut ainsi être prélevé sans organe d'application.The second mobile part 717a of the capsule 704, illustrated in FIG. 12, this time comprises an opening 718a delimited at the upper end of the moving part. It is closed by a flap 722 formed on the side of the moving part which faces the base part 706 when the movable part is mounted on the base part, above the rib 730. The flap is configured to rotate around an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rib, just above it, like a pourer. The product P2 contained in the housing 716a can thus be taken without an applicator member.

Lorsque la partie mobile 717a est fixée sur la partie de base 706, comme on le voit à la figure 11, le volet est fermé et il se trouve en regard de la partie de base 706. L'accès au logement 716a est ainsi masqué par la partie haute de la partie de base 706.When the movable part 717a is fixed on the base part 706, as seen in FIG. 11, the shutter is closed and it is opposite the base part 706. The access to the housing 716a is thus masked by the upper part of the base part 706.

Il suffit de faire coulisser la partie de base 717a dans la gorge 731 en l'écartant du flacon pour dégager le volet 722 de manière à pouvoir le faire pivoter afin de verser le produit P2.Just slide the base portion 717a into the groove 731 away from the bottle to release the flap 722 so as to rotate to pour the product P2.

Selon une variante d'une capsule illustrée sur les figures 14 et 15, la partie mobile 817 peut comporter une ouverture latérale 818 formée sur le côté de la partie mobile qui vient en regard de la partie de base 806 lorsque la partie mobile est montée sur la partie de base, au dessus de la nervure 830. L'ouverture 818 est par exemple délimitée par une jupe tubulaire qui peut être fermée par un bouchon 822 vissé sur la jupe. La partie de base 806 de la capsule comporte une extrémité supérieure 807 amincie en regard de laquelle se trouve le bouchon 822 lorsque la partie mobile est montée sur la partie de base. Le bouchon 822 s'ouvre selon un axe perpendiculaire à l'axe de la nervure de sorte que lorsque la partie mobile 817 est montée sur la partie de base, le bouchon ne peut être dévissé puisqu'il est masqué par la portion amincie 807 de la partie de base.According to a variant of a capsule illustrated in FIGS. 14 and 15, the mobile part 817 may comprise a lateral opening 818 formed on the side of the moving part which faces the base part 806 when the moving part is mounted on the base portion, above the rib 830. The opening 818 is for example defined by a tubular skirt which can be closed by a cap 822 screwed onto the skirt. The base portion 806 of the capsule has a thinened upper end 807 opposite which is the plug 822 when the movable portion is mounted on the base portion. The plug 822 opens along an axis perpendicular to the axis of the rib so that when the movable portion 817 is mounted on the base portion, the cap can not be unscrewed since it is masked by the thinned portion 807 of the basic part.

Lorsque la capsule comporte deux parties mobiles, il est bien évident qu'elles peuvent chacune passer de manière indépendante de la position fermée dans laquelle l'accès au logement est masqué à la position ouverte dans laquelle l'ouverture du logement est accessible. Les produits P2 et P3 peuvent être identiques ou différents.When the capsule has two moving parts, it is obvious that they can each pass independently of the closed position in which the access to the housing is hidden in the open position in which the opening of the housing is accessible. The products P2 and P3 may be identical or different.

Les premier et/ou second et/ou troisième produits peuvent être par exemple un produit pulvérulent, compacté ou non, une crème, un gel, et comporter ou non des corps solides tels que des paillettes et/ou des pigments, par exemple de la nacre.The first and / or second and / or third products may be, for example, a powdered product, compacted or not, a cream, a gel, and may or may not include solid bodies such as flakes and / or pigments, for example nacre.

Les premier, second et troisième produits, respectivement contenus dans le récipient et dans le(s) logement(s), peuvent être complémentaires, c'est-à-dire destinés à être déposés simultanément ou successivement sur une même région traitée. La couleur du second et/ou du troisième produit peut être différente de celle du premier produit. L'un des produits peut être un produit de maquillage ou de soin et l'autre un produit destiné à modifier la couleur et/ou la texture du premier produit, de manière à adapter sa couleur à une couleur de peau ou à un maquillage particulier, par exemple.The first, second and third products, respectively contained in the container and in the housing (s), may be complementary, that is to say intended to be deposited simultaneously or successively on the same treated region. The color of the second and / or third product may be different from that of the first product. One of the products may be a makeup or care product and the other a product intended to modify the color and / or the texture of the first product, so as to adapt its color to a particular skin color or make-up. , for example.

Les second et troisième produits peuvent être mis en place dans le logement en étant par exemple coulés dans celui-ci ou en étant présent dans une coupelle rapportée dans ledit logement.The second and third products can be put into place in the housing, for example by being poured into it or by being present in a cup attached to said housing.

Dans toute la description, l'expression « comportant un » doit être considérée comme étant synonyme de « comportant au moins un », sauf si le contraire est spécifié.Throughout the description, the phrase "having one" should be considered synonymous with "having at least one", unless the opposite is specified.
