Definitions
- the present invention relates to applicators and electrical appliances for applying a composition to the skin, for example a cosmetic composition, including makeup.
- It may be for example a care composition, slimming or tightening effect, which can be used in massage on the stomach, bust or thighs.
- Such a composition may contain plant extracts, among other compounds.
- the mode of application of the composition can play an important role in obtaining a satisfactory result.
- Apparatuses for applying compositions while exerting a massage action are known, for example patents US 3,754,548 , US 4,858,600 or US 4,291,685 . These devices include a reservoir containing the composition and are of relatively complex and expensive construction.
- the patent application French FR 2811 872 discloses a device for applying a composition, comprising a film which is perforated by an opening member when fixing a refill. Moving the application element to the region to be processed is done manually.
- the patent application French FR 2 853 820 describes an applicator to be positioned on the finger, comprising a reservoir delimited by a deformable bottom wall and a lid.
- the bottom wall is provided with a trocar for perforating the lid when a thrust is exerted on the bottom wall by the user. Once the operculum is perforated, the product can flow to an application element.
- movement is not to be understood restrictively and includes unidirectional or alternating motions to produce abrasion and / or massage and / or smearing or smoothing action of the composition.
- movement includes vibrations transmitted to the applicator.
- the opening member may be arranged to exert an opening action on the closure member when sufficient pressure is exerted on the applicator member. This simplifies the commissioning of the applicator, which can be done in a simple and fast way.
- the invention makes it possible to ensure a tight preservation of the composition before the first use while facilitating the distribution of the composition by means of the application element.
- the invention allows a hygienic application, the composition not having to be taken or applied with the hand.
- the invention can also allow, thanks to the application element, to use a very fluid composition, if necessary.
- the opening of the reservoir can be effected by a pressure exerted with the applicator element on the region to be treated, for example.

- the reservoir may be defined before the first use by a pod, for example in the form of a pocket, disposed within the support.
- the shutter member may comprise a film fixed on the support, for example a heat-sealed film on the support. This allows to define in a simple and economical way the tank.
- the opening element may advantageously be made with the support, being for example molded in one piece with it.
- the opening element may be central, and may be unique where appropriate.
- the opening member may be arranged to perforate the closure member when the latter comprises a film. It is necessary to understand the term "perforate” broadly, as also encompassing a tearing of the shutter element.
- the applicator may advantageously comprise an intermediate element between the applicator element and the closure element.
- This intermediate element may for example prevent the opening element from exerting excessive pressure on the applicator element when the latter is compressed during use, which contributes to the comfort of the application. .
- the intermediate element can be made, for example, in a more rigid material than the application element.
- the presence of the intermediate element can make it possible to use, if desired, a very flexible material for producing the applicator element, which makes it possible, for example, to marry more easily the relief of the region to be treated.
- the intermediate element may be fixed on the support with or without interposition of the closure member, possibly via a material bridge which can in one example be breakable.
- the intermediate element may be integral with the closure element, especially when the latter comprises a film fixed on the support.

- the displacement of the intermediate element may be a partial displacement, for example when the intermediate element is axially fixed at its periphery relative to the support, in which case only a central portion of the intermediate element can move substantially relative to the support.
- the displacement of the intermediate element can also be global, for example when the intermediate element is not fixed directly to the support and can be slidably displaced at its periphery relative to the support during use, for example at the same time. opening of the tank.
- the support comprises a peripheral skirt and the intermediate element is attached to the end of the peripheral skirt.
- the intermediate element may come axially in abutment on the end of the skirt, possibly via the closure element.
- the intermediate element can move along the axis of this peripheral skirt being guided by it. There may possibly be no sealed cooperation between the intermediate element and the support, and the product flowing through a gap between the two may be absorbed by the applicator element.
- the outer section of the intermediate member and / or the application member may correspond substantially to the inner section of the peripheral skirt of the support.
- the intermediate element may in particular have an outer diameter substantially corresponding to the inner diameter of the peripheral skirt, or it is slightly greater.
