  • the invention is particularly suitable for packaging cosmetic, pharmaceutical or dermato -pharmaceutical products.
  • Such products can, for example, be dispensed in an aqueous form, in the form of an oil, a milk, a cream, a gel, a foam, a powder, an emulsion, etc.
  • product compositions are generally prepared by the manufacturer in accordance with the shared needs of a plurality of users.
  • the latter is equipped with a metering mechanism interposed between the reservoir provided for this second product and the associated dispensing orifice.
  • the metering mechanism comprises a shut-off means which is mounted so as to be able to move in translation between a shut-off position shutting off the dispensing orifice for the second product, and a dispensing position.
  • the user can actuate the shut-off means from the outside via an actuating button which protrudes from the reservoir in the dispensing head.

  • the dispensing head described in that patent application thus has the advantage of allowing the user to bring about the mixing of the separately stored first and second products just before application.
  • the fact that the two types of products are separated in different reservoirs also has advantages for manufacturing. Specifically, if the second product is in the form of abrasive particles, for example exfoliating particles, and is mixed with the first product by the manufacturer during the preparation of the cosmetic formulation, these particles tend to abrade the manufacturing tank for this formulation and the pipes connected to this tank which are used for filling the packaging containers.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une tête de distribution à réservoir intégré destinée à un récipient de stockage. La tête de distribution destinée à un récipient comprend une base de montage (22) qui délimite sur l'intérieur au moins un réservoir (24), un conduit d'alimentation (32) qui s'étend au moins en partie à l'intérieur dudit réservoir (24) et qui est apte à être en communication avec le récipient, un premier orifice de distribution de produit (44) en communication avec le conduit d'alimentation (32), au moins un deuxième orifice de distribution (46) en communication avec ledit réservoir (24), et un élément d'obturation mobile (26). La base (22) est pourvue dudit second orifice (46). L'élément d'obturation (26) est monté sur la base (22) de manière à pouvoir tourner afin de recouvrir, sur le côté extérieur dudit réservoir (24), ledit second orifice (46) dans une position d'obturation et de laisser ledit second orifice au moins partiellement libre dans une position ouverte, ledit second orifice (46) étant en communication permanente avec ledit réservoir (24).
