Definitions
- the present invention relates to an assembly for the massage and or dispensing of a cosmetic product contained in a container retained on a body of said assembly.
- the massage is obtained by rotating the massage member of this assembly.
- Cosmetic product means a product as defined in Council Directive 93/35 / EEC of 14 June 1993.
- a massage device comprising a rotary massage unit rotated by a motor and carrying a plurality of freely mounted balls thereon.
- the massage device is mounted on a body also receiving a container containing a product that can be dispensed to said beads via a channel.
- the container has a unidirectional duckbill valve, the opening of which can only be obtained in response to a depression created in a chamber of the body adjacent to this valve. Such depression can be obtained in the chamber because of the relative sizes and shapes of the chamber and of said channel in communication with this chamber, in particular during the return of the container from a position partially depressed in said chamber to its initial position.
- the patent application WO97 / 22326 describes a massage device comprising a handle at one end of which is mounted a rotatable piece relative to the handle.
- the moving part comprises a product reservoir whose wall forms a massage surface.
- the wall includes rotatably mounted balls that communicate with both the interior of the reservoir and the massage surface to bring the product from the reservoir to the surface.
- the reservoir is thus coupled to the massage surface so that when the massage surface is rotated, the reservoir containing the product also rotates.
- the product is carried by the beads on the skin. This device does not allow to massage only without applying a product.
- a problem posed by massage devices of the state of the art is that they are not easy to grip, and also that it is not easy to selectively dispense product or to control the rotational drive of the massage member.
- the device described in the patent application WO97 / 22326 does not allow to independently change the product reservoir and the massage member.
- the container is configured for packaging and dispensing a product under pressure, the conduit being connected to an outlet of a dispensing valve of the container.
- the container may be arranged relative to the body so as to form a gripping member of the assembly.
- a closed bottom of said container, opposite the dispensing valve, can then form a gripping member.
- An actuating member of the valve may protrude from the outer periphery of the body.
- This actuating member may comprise a lever arm.
- the actuation of the valve can be obtained by depressing the valve stem.
- the actuation of the valve can be obtained by tilting or tilting of the valve stem.
- the duct may comprise a section parallel to the axis of rotation, and in particular a section of axis substantially coincident with the axis of rotation.
- This duct section remains fixed which limits the problems of dynamic sealing.
- the container may comprise a main axis of elongation parallel to the axis of rotation of the massage member.
- the container may be mounted on the body at a first axially opposite end, relative to the axis of rotation of the massage member, at a second end of said body where the massage member is retained.
- the container can be removably mounted on the body.
- the container may be snap-retained in a body cavity.
- the container may comprise a wall delimiting inside it a compartment containing a product to be sprayed and a gas under pressure mixed at least in part.
- the container may comprise two compartments of variable volume, a first compartment in communication with the valve and containing the product to be sprayed and a second compartment containing a propellant, the wall being impermeable to the product and the propellant.
- the massage member may be removably mounted on the body.
- the massage member may have an application surface provided with at least one relief, in particular an eccentric relief, or a plurality of reliefs of different shapes and different heights
- the massage member may comprise a removable tip having said application surface.
- the massage member may comprise a foam tip when the massage has for example a slimming sight, or a tuft of hair when the massage is for example intended to replace the badger necessary to spread the shaving foam, or for cleaning the skin, or an abrasive application surface, for example obtained by inclusion of alumina particles in a resin or foam, when a micro dermabrasion of the upper layers of the epidermis or "peeling" is sought.
- the massage member may comprise a structure retaining free balls in rotation in the housing of the massage member.
- the massage member may comprise an elastically deformable portion, for example made in a closed-cell foam or in an elastomeric material, to tolerate the surface differences of the areas of the body to be massaged.
- the application surface of the massage member may have a substantially rotational symmetry about an axis of symmetry, the application surface being rotated by the drive means about said axis of symmetry.
- the drive means may comprise a motor, for example powered by a battery, for example a battery housed in the body or by the sector, controlled by a control member.
- the motor can drive the application member in rotation directly or indirectly, for example by means of movement transmission members, for example to reduce the speed of rotation and increase the torque.
- the invention also relates to a massage member for rotatably and removably mounted on a body of an assembly according to the invention.
- the invention also relates to a kit comprising an assembly according to the invention and a plurality of containers, the latter being arranged to be mounted selectively and removably on the body of this assembly.
- the containers preferably contain different products.
- the kit may comprise a plurality of massage members, the latter being arranged to be mounted selectively and removably on the body of this assembly.
- the massage members preferably comprise different reliefs.
- the user selects a massage member to be mounted on the body of the assembly as a function of the selected container.
- FIG 1 shows an assembly 1 according to the invention in which a massage member 2 is detached from a body 3 on which is mounted a container 4 adapted to distribute the product P it contains through the massage member 2 via at least one duct 5 opening at an application surface 6 of this massage member 2 by at least one outlet orifice 7 of said massage member 2.
- the container 4 is a device adapted to contain and distribute under pressure a product P, in liquid or pasty form.
- the container 4 is called "aerosol". Such a container 4 allows the product P to be propelled into the duct or channel 5 through the massage member 2.
- the container 4 comprises a rigid outer enclosure 8, preferably of metal or plastic. It also comprises a dispensing valve 9 mounted generally on a cup 10 retained, for example by swelling, on the outer enclosure 8.
- the container 4 allows the continuous dispensing of the product P, with a continuous flow, during the phase where the valve 9 is kept open.
- the enclosure 8 may contain the product and the propellant.
- the valve 9 is continuously supplied with product, for example by means of a dip tube, if the density of the product to be distribute is greater than that of the propellant and if the container is presented "head up", namely with the valve 9 above the enclosure 8.
- FIG. container 4 can then be of the type of those taught in the document FR-2841159 .
- the product can be packaged in a pouch 12 with flexible walls, in communication with the dispensing valve 9.
- a propellant G2 is packaged in a volume formed between the outer surface of the bag 12 and the inner wall of the outer enclosure 8.
- the inner volume of the pocket 12 defines a first compartment 14 and the volume of the enclosure 8 on the outside of the pocket 12 defines a second compartment 15.
- the product P is kept separate from the propellant gas G2 by means of a piston 13 able to slide in a sealed abutment against the inner surface of the outer enclosure 8 so that the container 4 is separated into two compartments, a first compartment 14, in communication with the dispensing valve 9, containing the product P and a second compartment 15, between the piston 13 and the bottom of the container, containing the propellant gas G2.
- the dispensing valve 9 causes the opening of the dispensing valve 9, by depression and or tilting of the rod 11 protruding from the body 16 of the valve 9.
- the body 16 of the valve 9 is in position fixed axial relative to the outer enclosure 8 insofar as it is retained in the cup 10, for example by crimping, the cup 10 also being fixed axial position relative to the enclosure 8.
- the product P can then be distributed in the form of a paste, in particular cream or gel, liquid, spray or in the form of foam.
- the product P to be sprayed can be mixed with a first propellant G1 or a solvent with a high vapor pressure, while the second compartment contains the second thruster G2, the wall of the pocket 12 or the piston 13 being impermeable to the product and the thrusters.
- the first propellant G1 is chosen for example from hydrocarbons or dimethyl ether, alone or mixed.
- the second propellant G2 is for example a compressed or liquefied gas, for example a mixture of propane, butane and isobutane, or compressed air.
- the pocket 12 may be made of a metalloplastic complex, in particular an alumino-plastic complex comprising an aluminum layer and at least one layer of a thermoplastic material, in particular a polyamide, a polyethylene, a polyethylene terephthalate or a polypropylene.
- a metalloplastic complex in particular an alumino-plastic complex comprising an aluminum layer and at least one layer of a thermoplastic material, in particular a polyamide, a polyethylene, a polyethylene terephthalate or a polypropylene.
- the container 4 is designed to be removably mounted in the body 3. It is for example provided to be retained by clamping or snap-fastening with complementary means provided on the inner periphery of a cavity 17 formed in the body 3. In particular, these means cooperate with an annular bead formed by the junction between the cup 10 and the external enclosure 8.
- the massage member 2 forms a tip 40 having the application surface 6, this tip 40 being retained on a support 41.
- the tip 40 may be removable relative to the support 41, and for example retained by means of type to bayonet on this support 41. Alternatively the tip 40 can be retained by snapping on the support 41.
- Figure 1 the tip 40 is secured, for example glued or heat-sealed, to the support 41.
- the massage member 2 is provided to be rotated relative to the body 3 by drive means provided inside the body 3.
- the drive means comprise a motor 19 powered by a battery 20, the battery 20 being connected to a control member 21 making it possible selectively to authorize or not powering the motor 19, and consequently driving the massage member 2 into rotation or not.
- the battery 20 is formed by at least one battery, even several batteries, housed in the body 3. Alternatively, the motor 19 may be powered by the sector.
- the control member 21 can make it possible to select different rotational speeds of the motor 19.
- the control member 21 can form an electrical switch provided with a rotary selector protruding from the body 3 so as to be able to be respectively placed in three positions: a first off position, a second position corresponding to a first rotational speed, and a third position corresponding to a second rotational speed.
- the control member 21 may comprise a continuous variator of the speed of rotation of the motor 19 for a finer adjustment of the desired massage, and in particular according to the massage member 2 set up and / or the surface of skin to massage.
- the motor 19 rotates a toothed wheel 22 cooperating with a set of gears 23 transmitting the movement to the massage member 2.
- the massage member 2, and more particularly the support 41 has a toothed surface (not shown) cooperating with one of the gears of the gear system 23.
- the gear assembly 23 forms a means for reducing the speed of rotation of the massage member, the gear 23 for increasing the torque.
- the toothed surface is annular and traversed at its center by the channel 5.
- the channel 5 is partly formed inside a tube 25 disposed in the body 3, a first end 26 is connected to the end of the valve stem 11 through which the product P is dispensed.
- the tube 25 is in engagement with a mounting skirt (not shown) of the massage member 2, and more particularly of the support 41.
- This mounting skirt is internal and concentric with the toothed surface, it is in fluid communication with the outlet port 7.
- the mounting skirt opens into an interior space 29 of the massage member 2, this interior space 29 being formed for example between the support 41 and the tip 40 , so that the application surface 6 is traversed by at least one supply channel 30 connecting the internal space 29 to the outlet port 7.
- the application surface 6 is traversed by a plurality of feed channels such as part in the inner space 29 and on the other hand by as many outlets as 7.
- the axis X around which the massage member 2 is rotated corresponds preferably to the axis of symmetry of revolution of the inner periphery of the mounting skirt and the outer periphery of the portion of the tube 25 located between the ends 26. and 27. Between the ends 26 and 27, the channel 5 forms a first section elongating along the axis of rotation X.
- the mounting skirt When the massage member 2 is driven in rotation, the mounting skirt is rotated relative to the tube 25 which remains stationary in rotation relative to the body 3. For this purpose, it is possible to provide an annular ring between the tube 25 and the mounting skirt to maintain the tightness of this connection even when one is rotated relative to the other.
- the tube 25 may be flexible so as to bypass if necessary the parts provided in the body 3.
- the assembly 1 is provided so that the product distribution P can be obtained independently of the rotational drive of the massage member 2.
- the X and Y axes are parallel to each other .
- the container 4 is then retained at one end of the body 3 axially opposite the end at which the massage member 2 is mounted.
- the actuation of the valve 9 is obtained by depressing, and this depression is in particular obtained by relative displacement of the container 4 relative to the body 3, insofar as the tube 25 is here in fixed axial position inside the body 3.
- the user grasps with one hand the outer periphery of the body 3 and with his other hand the outer periphery of the container 4 to bring them closer together.
- the user can apply the application surface 6 against a skin area to be treated, and then depending on the gripping area he chooses, he can selectively distribute the product or not. Indeed, if the user grasps the outer periphery of the body 3 when the application surface 6 is applied against the skin, then the container 4 remains in fixed axial position relative to the body 3, and the valve 9 remains closed. There is no product distribution.
- the receptacle 4 may be partially seated in the cavity 17 of the body 3, and the valve 9 may be made to open and then allow dispensing of product, depending on the force with which the application surface 6 of the assembly 1 is applied against the skin.
- the container 4 When the user grasps the container 4 at its outer periphery protruding from the body 3, and to ensure that only a translation movement of the container 4 relative to the body 3 is allowed, the container 4 is provided with a flange 36 to guide and possibly limit the displacement of the container 4 relative to the body 3. This collar 36 cooperates with the side wall 35.
- the side wall 35 of the container 4 is preferably cylindrical, the container 4 having a bottom 37 axially opposite, relative to the Y axis, to the cup 10 carrying the valve 9.
- the bottom 37 is closed. It optionally comprises a plug 38 to allow the second compartment 15 to be pressurized when the thruster G2 is to be injected via a syringe through this plug 38, FIGS. 2 and 3.
- the bottom 37 and at least a portion of the side wall 35 protrude from the body 3.
- the portion of the side wall 35 projecting from this body 3 represents more than half of this area.
- the bottom 37 and the portion of the side wall 35 form a gripping means of the assembly 1.
- a method of implementing this assembly 1 is useful to know when the assembly 1 is not completely assembled and ready for use, in particular when it is supplied in the form of a kit 100, FIG. possibly several massage members such as 2 having different application surfaces selectively and removably mounted on the body 3, and with several containers such as 4 having different products, these containers being selectively and removably mountable on the body 3.
- the method for applying a product to a surface of the body to be treated by means of this set 1 may consist of selecting a massage member such as 2 depending on the product contained in the container 4 which has been selected, to mount this massage member on the body 3, and bring the valve 9 in the open position so that the product is dispensed at the application surface 6 to be applied to the body.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention a pour objet un ensemble pour le massage et ou la distribution d'un produit cosmétique contenu dans un récipient retenu sur un corps dudit ensemble. De préférence, le massage est obtenu par entraînement en rotation de l'organe de massage de cet ensemble.The present invention relates to an assembly for the massage and or dispensing of a cosmetic product contained in a container retained on a body of said assembly. Preferably, the massage is obtained by rotating the massage member of this assembly.
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.
On connaît par le brevet
La demande de brevet
Un problème posé par les dispositifs de massage de l'état de la technique tient au fait qu'ils ne sont pas faciles de préhension, et par ailleurs qu'il n'est pas facile de sélectivement distribuer du produit ou de commander l'entraînement en rotation de l'organe de massage.A problem posed by massage devices of the state of the art is that they are not easy to grip, and also that it is not easy to selectively dispense product or to control the rotational drive of the massage member.
En outre, le dispositif décrit dans la demande de brevet
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un ensemble de massage et ou de distribution d'un produit comportant
- un récipient contenant ledit produit, notamment un produit cosmétique,
- un corps sur lequel est monté le récipient,
- un organe de massage monté sur ce corps,
- un moyen d'entraînement en rotation autour d'un axe de rotation dudit organe de massage relativement au corps et au récipient, et
- un conduit en communication fluidique entre une sortie du récipient et l'organe de massage,
- a container containing said product, in particular a cosmetic product,
- a body on which the container is mounted,
- a massage member mounted on this body,
- means for driving in rotation about an axis of rotation of said massage member relative to the body and the container, and
- a conduit in fluid communication between an outlet of the container and the massage member,
Un autre problème posé par les dispositifs de massage de l'état de la technique tient au fait qu'ils ne fournissent pas de solutions fiables et faciles à mettre en oeuvre pour la distribution d'un produit simultanément ou indépendamment du massage. De plus, avec les dispositifs de l'état de la technique la distribution de produit est aléatoire dès lors que le récipient n'est plus totalement plein.Another problem posed by massage devices of the state of the art is that they do not provide reliable and easy to implement solutions for the distribution of a product simultaneously or independently massage. In addition, with the devices of the state of the art product distribution is random when the container is no longer completely full.
Avantageusement, le récipient est configuré pour le conditionnement et la distribution d'un produit sous pression, le conduit étant relié à une sortie d'une valve de distribution du récipient.Advantageously, the container is configured for packaging and dispensing a product under pressure, the conduit being connected to an outlet of a dispensing valve of the container.
Le récipient peut être agencé relativement au corps de manière à former un organe de préhension de l'ensemble. Un fond fermé dudit récipient, à l'opposé de la valve de distribution, peut alors former un organe de préhension.The container may be arranged relative to the body so as to form a gripping member of the assembly. A closed bottom of said container, opposite the dispensing valve, can then form a gripping member.
Un organe d'actionnement de la valve peut dépasser du pourtour extérieur du corps. Cet organe d'actionnement peut comporter un bras de levier. Notamment, l'actionnement de la valve peut être obtenu par enfoncement de la tige de valve. Alternativement et ou en complément, l'actionnement de la valve peut être obtenu par inclinaison ou basculement de la tige de valve.An actuating member of the valve may protrude from the outer periphery of the body. This actuating member may comprise a lever arm. In particular, the actuation of the valve can be obtained by depressing the valve stem. Alternatively and or in addition, the actuation of the valve can be obtained by tilting or tilting of the valve stem.
Par exemple, le conduit peut comporter une section parallèle à l'axe de rotation, et en particulier une section d'axe sensiblement confondu avec l'axe de rotation. Lors de la rotation de l'organe de massage, cette section de conduit reste fixe ce qui limite les problèmes d'étanchéité dynamique. Le récipient peut comporter un axe d'allongement principal parallèle à l'axe de rotation de l'organe de massage. Notamment le récipient peut être monté sur le corps au niveau d'une première extrémité axialement opposée, relativement à l'axe de rotation de l'organe de massage, à une seconde extrémité dudit corps où est retenu l'organe de massage.For example, the duct may comprise a section parallel to the axis of rotation, and in particular a section of axis substantially coincident with the axis of rotation. During the rotation of the massage member, this duct section remains fixed which limits the problems of dynamic sealing. The container may comprise a main axis of elongation parallel to the axis of rotation of the massage member. In particular, the container may be mounted on the body at a first axially opposite end, relative to the axis of rotation of the massage member, at a second end of said body where the massage member is retained.
Avantageusement, le récipient peut être monté de manière amovible sur le corps. Le récipient peut être retenu par encliquetage dans une cavité du corps.Advantageously, the container can be removably mounted on the body. The container may be snap-retained in a body cavity.
Le récipient peut comporter une paroi délimitant à l'intérieur de celui-ci un compartiment contenant un produit à pulvériser et un gaz sous pression mélangés au moins en partie.The container may comprise a wall delimiting inside it a compartment containing a product to be sprayed and a gas under pressure mixed at least in part.
Alternativement, le récipient peut comporter deux compartiments de volume variable, un premier compartiment en communication avec la valve et contenant le produit à pulvériser et un second compartiment contenant un propulseur, la paroi étant imperméable au produit et au propulseur.Alternatively, the container may comprise two compartments of variable volume, a first compartment in communication with the valve and containing the product to be sprayed and a second compartment containing a propellant, the wall being impermeable to the product and the propellant.
Avantageusement, l'organe de massage peut être monté de manière amovible sur le corps. L'organe de massage peut présenter une surface d'application munie d'au moins un relief, notamment un relief excentré, ou encore une pluralité de reliefs de différentes formes et de différentes hauteursAdvantageously, the massage member may be removably mounted on the body. The massage member may have an application surface provided with at least one relief, in particular an eccentric relief, or a plurality of reliefs of different shapes and different heights
L'organe de massage peut comporter un embout amovible présentant ladite surface d'application. L'utilisateur peut ainsi obtenir différentes applications en fonction de l'organe de massage choisi. Par exemple, l'organe de massage peut comporter un embout en mousse lorsque le massage a par exemple une visée amincissante, ou une touffe de poils lorsque le massage a par exemple pour objet de remplacer le blaireau nécessaire pour étaler la mousse à raser, ou pour nettoyer la peau, ou encore une surface d'application abrasive, par exemple obtenu par inclusion de particules d'alumine dans une résine ou mousse, lorsqu'une micro dermabrasion des couches supérieures de l'épiderme ou « peeling » est recherché.The massage member may comprise a removable tip having said application surface. The user can thus obtain different applications depending on the chosen massage member. For example, the massage member may comprise a foam tip when the massage has for example a slimming sight, or a tuft of hair when the massage is for example intended to replace the badger necessary to spread the shaving foam, or for cleaning the skin, or an abrasive application surface, for example obtained by inclusion of alumina particles in a resin or foam, when a micro dermabrasion of the upper layers of the epidermis or "peeling" is sought.
L'organe de massage peut comporter une structure retenant des billes libres en rotation dans des logements de l'organe de massage.The massage member may comprise a structure retaining free balls in rotation in the housing of the massage member.
L'organe de massage peut comporter une portion élastiquement déformable, par exemple réalisée dans une mousse à cellules fermées ou dans un matériau élastomère, pour tolérer les différences de surface des zones du corps à masser.The massage member may comprise an elastically deformable portion, for example made in a closed-cell foam or in an elastomeric material, to tolerate the surface differences of the areas of the body to be massaged.
La surface d'application de l'organe de massage peut présenter une symétrie sensiblement de révolution autour d'un axe de symétrie, la surface d'application étant entraînée en rotation par le moyen d'entraînement autour dudit axe de symétrie.The application surface of the massage member may have a substantially rotational symmetry about an axis of symmetry, the application surface being rotated by the drive means about said axis of symmetry.
Le moyen d'entraînement peut comporter un moteur, par exemple alimenté par une batterie, par exemple une pile logée dans le corps ou par le secteur, commandé par un organe de commande. Le moteur peut entraîner l'organe d'application en rotation directement ou indirectement, par exemple par l'intermédiaire d'organes de transmission de mouvement, afin par exemple de réduire la vitesse de rotation et augmenter le couple.The drive means may comprise a motor, for example powered by a battery, for example a battery housed in the body or by the sector, controlled by a control member. The motor can drive the application member in rotation directly or indirectly, for example by means of movement transmission members, for example to reduce the speed of rotation and increase the torque.
L'invention a également pour objet un organe de massage destiné à être monté de manière rotative et amovible sur un corps d'un ensemble selon l'invention.The invention also relates to a massage member for rotatably and removably mounted on a body of an assembly according to the invention.
L'invention a encore pour objet un kit comportant un ensemble selon l'invention et une pluralité de récipients, ces derniers étant agencés pour être montés sélectivement et de manière amovible sur le corps de cet ensemble. Dans un tel kit, les récipients contiennent de préférence des produits différents.The invention also relates to a kit comprising an assembly according to the invention and a plurality of containers, the latter being arranged to be mounted selectively and removably on the body of this assembly. In such a kit, the containers preferably contain different products.
Le kit peut comporter une pluralité d'organes de massage, ces derniers étant agencés pour être montés sélectivement et de manière amovible sur le corps de cet ensemble. Ainsi, selon par exemple l'effet de massage souhaité, l'utilisateur sélectionne l'organe de massage comportant des reliefs adaptés à obtenir cet effet de massage. Dans un tel kit, les organes de massage, comportent de préférence des reliefs différents.The kit may comprise a plurality of massage members, the latter being arranged to be mounted selectively and removably on the body of this assembly. Thus, according to for example the desired massage effect, the user selects the massage member comprising reliefs adapted to obtain this massage effect. In such a kit, the massage members preferably comprise different reliefs.
L'invention a de fait aussi pour objet un procédé cosmétique et non thérapeutique pour appliquer un produit sur une surface du corps, caractérisé en ce qu'il consiste à:
- fournir un kit comme enseigné ci-dessus,
- sélectionner un récipient,
- monter le récipient sélectionné sur le corps de l'ensemble,
- appliquer du produit sur le corps
- masser la zone du corps où le produit a été appliqué avec l'organe de massage entraîné en rotation.
- provide a kit as taught above,
- select a container,
- mount the selected container on the body of the assembly,
- apply product on the body
- massage the area of the body where the product has been applied with the massage member rotated.
Dans le cadre d'un tel procédé, de préférence, l'utilisateur sélectionne un organe de massage à monter sur le corps de l'ensemble en fonction du récipient sélectionné.In the context of such a method, preferably, the user selects a massage member to be mounted on the body of the assembly as a function of the selected container.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui suit et à l'examen des figures qui l'accompagnent. Celles ci ne sont présentées qu'à titre indicatif et nullement limitatif de l'invention. Les figures montrent :

La Figure 1 montre un ensemble 1 selon l'invention dans lequel un organe de massage 2 est détaché d'un corps 3 sur lequel est monté un récipient 4 apte à distribuer le produit P qu'il contient au travers de l'organe de massage 2 via au moins un conduit 5 débouchant au niveau d'une surface d'application 6 de cet organe de massage 2 par au moins un orifice de sortie 7 dudit organe de massage 2.Figure 1 shows an
Le récipient 4 est un dispositif propre à contenir et à distribuer sous pression un produit P, sous forme liquide ou pâteuse. Le récipient 4 est dit « aérosol ». Un tel récipient 4 permet la propulsion du produit P dans le conduit ou canal 5 jusqu'au travers de l'organe de massage 2.The
Le récipient 4 comporte une enceinte externe rigide 8, de préférence en métal ou en matière plastique. Il comporte également une valve de distribution 9 montée généralement sur une coupelle 10 retenue, par exemple par dudgeonnage, sur l'enceinte externe 8. Le récipient 4 permet la distribution en continu du produit P, avec un débit continu, pendant la phase où la valve 9 est maintenue ouverte.The
L'enceinte 8 peut contenir le produit et le gaz propulseur. Pour distribuer le produit, lors de l'actionnement de la tige 11 de la valve de distribution 9, il faut que la valve 9 soit alimentée en continu en produit, par exemple au moyen d'un tube plongeur, si la densité du produit à distribuer est supérieure à celle du gaz propulseur et si le récipient est présenté « tête en haut », à savoir avec la valve 9 au dessus de l'enceinte 8.The
Par exemple pour pouvoir distribuer le produit dans n'importe quelle position, le produit P à distribuer et le gaz propulseur sont conditionnés de façon séparée dans l'enceinte 8 comme cela est représenté sur les figures 2 et 3, le récipient 4 peut alors être du type de ceux enseignés dans le document
Pour ce faire, comme représenté Figure 2, le produit peut être conditionné dans une poche 12 à parois souples, en communication avec la valve de distribution 9. Un propulseur G2 est conditionné dans un volume formé entre la surface extérieure de la poche 12 et la paroi intérieure de l'enceinte externe 8. Le volume intérieur de la poche 12 définit un premier compartiment 14 et le volume de l'enceinte 8 à l'extérieur de la poche 12 définit un second compartiment 15.To do this, as shown in Figure 2, the product can be packaged in a
Alternativement, Figure 3, le produit P est maintenu séparé du gaz propulseur G2 au moyen d'un piston 13 apte à coulisser en appui étanche contre la surface intérieure de l'enceinte externe 8 de sorte que le récipient 4 est séparé en deux compartiments, un premier compartiment 14, en communication avec la valve de distribution 9, contenant le produit P et un second compartiment 15, entre le piston 13 et le fond du récipient, contenant le gaz propulseur G2.Alternatively, FIG. 3, the product P is kept separate from the propellant gas G2 by means of a
Pour distribuer du produit avec de tels dispositifs, on provoque l'ouverture de la valve de distribution 9, par enfoncement et ou par basculement de la tige 11 dépassant du corps 16 de la valve 9. Le corps 16 de la valve 9 est à position axiale fixe relativement à l'enceinte externe 8 dans la mesure où il est retenu dans la coupelle 10, par exemple par sertissage, la coupelle 10 étant elle aussi à position axiale fixe relativement à l'enceinte 8.To dispense the product with such devices, it causes the opening of the dispensing
Lorsque la valve de distribution 9 est ouverte, la pression exercée par l'agent propulseur G2 sur la poche 12 ou le piston 13 agit et presse le produit P par la valve de distribution 9 hors de la poche ou du premier compartiment.When the dispensing
Le produit P peut ensuite être distribué sous forme de pâte, notamment de crème ou de gel, de liquide, de spray ou encore sous forme de mousse.The product P can then be distributed in the form of a paste, in particular cream or gel, liquid, spray or in the form of foam.
Dans le premier compartiment 14 ou volume intérieur de la poche 12, le produit P à pulvériser peut être mélangé avec un premier propulseur G1 ou un solvant à forte tension de vapeur, tandis que le second compartiment 15 contient le second propulseur G2, la paroi de la poche 12 ou du piston 13 étant imperméable au produit et aux propulseurs.In the
Le premier propulseur G1 est choisi par exemple parmi les hydrocarbures ou le diméthyléther, seuls ou mélangés. Le second propulseur G2 est par exemple un gaz comprimé ou liquéfié, par exemple un mélange de propane, de butane et d'isobutane, ou de l'air comprimé.The first propellant G1 is chosen for example from hydrocarbons or dimethyl ether, alone or mixed. The second propellant G2 is for example a compressed or liquefied gas, for example a mixture of propane, butane and isobutane, or compressed air.
La poche 12 peut être réalisée en un complexe métallo-plastique, notamment un complexe alumino-plastique comprenant une couche d'aluminium et au moins une couche d'un matériau thermoplastique, notamment un polyamide, un polyéthylène, un polyéthylène téréphtalate ou un polypropylène.The
Le récipient 4 est prévu pour être monté de manière amovible dans le corps 3. Il est par exemple prévu d'être retenu par serrage ou encliquetage avec des moyens complémentaires prévus sur le pourtour intérieur d'une cavité 17 formée dans le corps 3. En particulier, ces moyens coopèrent avec un bourrelet annulaire formé par la jonction entre la coupelle 10 et l'enceinte externe 8.The
L'organe de massage 2 forme un embout 40 présentant la surface d'application 6, cet embout 40 étant retenu sur un support 41. L'embout 40 peut être amovible relativement au support 41, et par exemple retenu par des moyens de type à baïonnette sur ce support 41. Alternativement l'embout 40 peut être retenu par encliquetage sur le support 41. Figure 1, l'embout 40 est solidaire, par exemple collé ou thermosoudé, au support 41.The
L'organe de massage 2 est prévu pour être entraîné en rotation relativement au corps 3 par des moyens d'entraînement prévus à l'intérieur du corps 3. Les moyens d'entraînement comportent un moteur 19 alimenté par une batterie 20, la batterie 20 étant relié à un organe de commande 21 permettant de sélectivement autoriser ou non l'alimentation du moteur 19, et par conséquent l'entraînement en rotation ou non de l'organe de massage 2. La batterie 20 est formée par au moins une pile, voire plusieurs piles, logée dans le corps 3. Alternativement, le moteur 19 peut être alimenté par le secteur.The
L'organe de commande 21 peut permettre de sélectionner différentes vitesses de rotation du moteur 19. L'organe de commande 21 peut former un commutateur électrique muni d'un sélecteur rotatif dépassant du corps 3 de manière à par exemple pouvoir être placé dans respectivement trois positions : une première position éteinte, une seconde position correspondant à une première vitesse de rotation, et un troisième position correspondant à une seconde vitesse de rotation. Notamment, l'organe de commande 21 peut comporter un variateur continu de la vitesse de rotation du moteur 19 pour un ajustage plus fin du massage désiré, et ce notamment en fonction de l'organe de massage 2 mis en place et ou de la surface de peau à masser.The
Le moteur 19 entraîne en rotation une roue dentée 22 coopérant avec un ensemble d'engrenages 23 transmettant le mouvement à l'organe de massage 2. En effet, l'organe de massage 2, et plus particulièrement le support 41 comporte une surface dentée (non représentée) coopérant avec l'un des engrenages du système d'engrenages 23. L'ensemble d'engrenages 23 forme un moyen réducteur de la vitesse de rotation de l'organe de massage, ce réducteur 23 permettant d'augmenter le couple.The
La surface dentée est annulaire et traversée en son centre par le canal 5. Le canal 5 est en partie formé à l'intérieur d'un tube 25, disposé dans le corps 3, dont une première extrémité 26 est raccordée à l'extrémité de la tige de valve 11 par laquelle le produit P est distribué. A une seconde extrémité 27, le tube 25 est en engagement avec une jupe de montage (non représentée) de l'organe de massage 2, et plus particulièrement du support 41. Cette jupe de montage est intérieure et concentrique à la surface dentée, elle est en communication fluidique avec l'orifice de sortie 7. En effet, la jupe de montage débouche dans un espace intérieur 29 de l'organe de massage 2, cet espace intérieur 29 étant par exemple formé entre le support 41 et l'embout 40, de telle sorte que la surface d'application 6 est traversée par au moins un canal d'alimentation 30 reliant l'espace intérieur 29 à l'orifice de sortie 7. Comme représenté Figure 1, la surface d'application 6 est traversée par une pluralité de canaux d'alimentation tels que 30 débouchant d'une part dans l'espace intérieur 29 et d'autre part par autant d'orifices de sortie tels que 7.The toothed surface is annular and traversed at its center by the
L'axe X autour duquel l'organe de massage 2 est entraîné en rotation correspond de préférence à l'axe de symétrie de révolution du pourtour intérieur de la jupe de montage et du pourtour extérieur de la portion du tube 25 située entre les extrémités 26 et 27. Entre les extrémités 26 et 27, le canal 5 forme une première section s'allongeant selon l'axe de rotation X.The axis X around which the
Lorsque l'organe de massage 2 est entraîné en rotation, la jupe de montage est entraînée en rotation relativement au tube 25 qui reste immobile en rotation relativement au corps 3. A cet effet, il peut être prévu un jonc annulaire entre le tube 25 et la jupe de montage pour maintenir l'étanchéité de cette connexion même lorsque l'un est entraîné en rotation relativement à l'autre.When the
Selon une variante non représentée, le tube 25 peut être souple de manière à pouvoir contourner si nécessaire les pièces prévues dans le corps 3.According to a variant not shown, the
L'ensemble 1 est prévu pour que la distribution de produit P puisse être obtenue indépendamment de l'entraînement en rotation de l'organe de massage 2. Dans l'ensemble 1 selon l'invention, les axes X et Y sont parallèles entre eux. Le récipient 4 est alors retenu au niveau d'une extrémité du corps 3 axialement opposée à l'extrémité au niveau de laquelle est monté l'organe de massage 2. Dans ce cas, l'actionnement de la valve 9 est obtenu par enfoncement, et cet enfoncement est notamment obtenu par déplacement relatif du récipient 4 relativement au corps 3, dans la mesure où le tube 25 est ici à position axiale fixe à l'intérieur du corps 3.The
Pour obtenir la distribution de produit avec un tel ensemble 1, l'utilisateur saisit d'une main le pourtour extérieur du corps 3 et de son autre main le pourtour extérieur du récipient 4 pour les rapprocher. Alternativement, l'utilisateur peut appliquer la surface d'application 6 contre une zone de peau à traiter, et ensuite en fonction de la zone de préhension qu'il choisit, il peut sélectivement distribuer du produit ou non. En effet, si l'utilisateur saisit le pourtour extérieur du corps 3 lorsque la surface d'application 6 est appliquée contre la peau, alors le récipient 4 reste à position axiale fixe relativement au corps 3, et la valve 9 reste fermée. II n'y a pas de distribution de produit.To obtain the product distribution with such an
Par contre, si l'utilisateur saisit le pourtour extérieur du récipient 4, le récipient 4 peut être amené à s'enfoncer partiellement dans la cavité 17 du corps 3, et la valve 9 être amenée à s'ouvrir et autoriser alors la distribution de produit, en fonction de la force avec laquelle la surface d'application 6 de l'ensemble 1 est appliquée contre la peau.On the other hand, if the user grasps the outer periphery of the
Lorsque l'utilisateur saisit le récipient 4 au niveau de son pourtour extérieur dépassant du corps 3, et pour s'assurer que seul un mouvement de translation du récipient 4 relativement au corps 3 est permis, le récipient 4 est muni d'une collerette 36 pour guider et éventuellement limiter le déplacement du récipient 4 relativement au corps 3. Cette collerette 36 coopère avec la paroi latérale 35.When the user grasps the
La paroi latérale 35 du récipient 4 est de préférence cylindrique, le récipient 4 comportant un fond 37 axialement opposé, relativement à l'axe Y, à la coupelle 10 portant la valve 9. Le fond 37 est fermé. Il comporte éventuellement un bouchon 38 pour permettre la mise sous pression du second compartiment 15 lorsque le propulseur G2 doit être injecté via une seringue au travers de ce bouchon 38, Figures 2 et 3.The
Dans les modes de réalisation de l'invention, le fond 37 et au moins une portion de la paroi latérale 35 dépasse du corps 3. En particulier, la portion de la paroi latérale 35 dépassant de ce corps 3 représente plus de la moitié de cette paroi latérale 35 relativement à l'axe d'allongement principal Y. Ainsi le fond 37 et la portion de la paroi latérale 35 forment un moyen de préhension de l'ensemble 1.In the embodiments of the invention, the bottom 37 and at least a portion of the
De plus, cette portion du récipient 4 visible, non masquée par le corps 3, lorsque le récipient 4 est monté dans le corps 3, permet à l'utilisateur de prendre connaissance des indications relatives au produit et ou aux procédés d'utilisation conseillés qui peuvent être inscrits sur cette paroi latérale 35.In addition, this portion of the
En particulier un procédé de mise en oeuvre de cet ensemble 1 est utile à connaître lorsque l'ensemble 1 n'est pas totalement monté et prêt à l'emploi, notamment lorsqu'il est fourni sous forme de kit 100, Figure 4, avec éventuellement plusieurs organes de massage tels que 2 présentant des surfaces d'application différentes pouvant être montés sélectivement et de manière amovible sur le corps 3, et avec plusieurs récipients tels que 4 comportant des produits différents, ces récipients pouvant être montés sélectivement et de manière amovible sur le corps 3.In particular, a method of implementing this
Le procédé pour appliquer un produit sur une surface du corps à traiter au moyen de cet ensemble 1 peut consister à sélectionner un organe de massage tel que 2 en fonction du produit contenu dans le récipient 4 qui aura été sélectionné, de monter cet organe de massage sur le corps 3, et d'amener la valve 9 en position ouverte de telle sorte que du produit est dispensé au niveau de la surface d'application 6 en vue d'être appliqué sur le corps. Ensuite, simultanément ou non à la distribution de produit, l'utilisateur peut masser la zone du corps où le produit a été appliqué avec l'organe de massage entraîné en rotation.The method for applying a product to a surface of the body to be treated by means of this
