- the cartridge may comprise, if necessary, in addition to the reservoir 20, the associated valve 40, and the applicator head 2 may be arranged to allow the valve to protrude into the housing 32 receiving the application element 70, after assembly of the cartridge.
- the user passes the hair between the branches 10 so as to subject them to the heat of the heating surfaces.
- the hair also passes between the reliefs 23 and 25 and comes into contact with the surface 72 of the porous applicator element 70 extending between the ends 71, where they load product.
- An assembly for the application of a product, in particular an applicator head, produced in accordance with the invention can find applications independently of the combination with an electric appliance for treating the hair.
- the applicator head 2 may comprise a portion arranged to be mounted on a bottle serving as a reservoir, for example by screwing onto the neck of the bottle or by attaching it to the latter with a hoop provided with means for snap.
- the reservoir can then, if necessary, serve as a gripping member.
- the applicator head can still be mounted on an aerosol can
- the applicator head may be made, if necessary, without portion from covering the application element other than that used for its maintenance on the applicator head.
- FIG. 5 there is shown such an example of an applicator head, which comprises only the end reliefs 25.
- the valve 40 may be made in various ways, and for example may extend for less than half the length of the porous applicator element 70, as shown in FIG.
- the applicator element 70 may be completely stationary relative to the receiving zone 32 during use of the head to apply product.
- the application member 70 may be mounted with a possibility of movement relative to the receiving zone 32, in order to drive the valve 40 to cause the arrival of product, when pressure is exerted on it.
- the applicator element comprises a part 70a fixed relative to the receiving zone 32 and a deformable part 70b that connects the fixed part 70a to a central portion 70c of the element 70 application and allows it to sink to actuate the valve 40 during use.
- the application element 70 is rotatably mounted with respect to the reception zone 32.
- the applicator head body comprises in the example described two wings 80 which longitudinally delimit the treating portion of the applicator head 2, each of the wings 80 being provided with an opening.
- the application element 70 comprises in the example described at each of its longitudinal ends a pin 84 engaged in a corresponding opening.
- the pins 84 can be made in one piece with the application member 70. Alternatively, the pins 84 are replaced by the two longitudinal ends of a traversing shaft whose application member 70 is secured.
