  • the present invention relates to a refillable device for dispensing single-use water-soluble doses containing a product, in particular a cosmetic product.
  • a water-soluble dose comprises a membrane containing the product, which becomes soluble on contact with water.
  • a “cosmetic product” is understood to be a product as defined in Directive 93/35/EEC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 relating to cosmetic products.
  • a cleansing product for the hair for example a shampoo, a lotion, a powder, or a product for maintaining the head of hair, for example a lotion, a cream, an oil, or a body hygiene product, for example a soap or a gel.

  • a soap or a gel for example a soap or a gel.
  • the document DE 20 2017 105 136 describes a dispenser comprising a cylindrical body inside which the cosmetic articles are stacked and having a lateral outlet opening allowing a user to grasp the article at the bottom of the stack.
  • the patent US 6 279 776 discloses a dispenser of similar design, also comprising on the inside an inclined wall which is situated below the lateral outlet opening in order to guide the article at the bottom of the stack in the direction of this opening.
  • Such dispensers are not suitable for dispensing single-use water-soluble doses, however.
  • the present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.
  • the invention relates to a device for dispensing single-use water-soluble doses containing at least one product, in particular a cosmetic product.
  • the device comprises a longitudinal container provided with an interior compartment for storing a stack of water-soluble doses and with at least one dose dispensing opening.
  • the device also comprises an inclined wall integral with the container, which extends towards the dispensing opening and which extends at least partially inside the container. The inclined wall partially delimits the compartment.
  • inclined wall integral with the container means that the inclined wall is fixed with respect to the container taken as a whole, or with respect to one of the parts forming the container.
  • the inclined wall may be made in one piece with the container, for example by moulding, or with one of the parts forming the container. Alternatively, the inclined wall may be a part attached to the container.
  • a free end edge of the inclined wall leaves a lateral space between itself and an interior surface of the container.
  • the inclined wall leaves the lateral space between itself and an interior surface of the container, or an interior portion of the container.
  • the dispensing opening opens onto a frontal end face of the container, being at least partially situated in the axial continuation of the lateral space.
  • at least a part of the dispensing opening is situated in the axial alignment of the lateral space.
  • the device also comprises a closure cap that is at least partially movable with respect to the container between a position closing the dispensing opening of said container in a sealed manner and a position opening said dispensing opening.
  • the user can take hold of the water-soluble dose at the bottom of the stack, which is in contact with the inclined wall, via the bottom of the container by passing their fingers through the dispensing opening as far as the lateral space between the inclined wall and the container.
  • the lateral space makes it possible to grasp the water-soluble dose at the bottom of the stack in order to withdraw it.
  • a part of the water-soluble dose at the bottom of the stack extends through the lateral space between the inclined wall and the container.
  • the fact of making the dispensing opening open onto a frontal end face of the container makes it possible to close this opening using the closure cap, which is perfectly sealed with respect to water and moisture.
  • the closure cap comprises a peripheral skirt which fits in a sealed manner in the dispensing opening of the container.
  • the closure cap may comprise a base that is fixed to the container and provided with a through-orifice, and a cover rotationally hinged to the base between a position closing off the through-orifice and a position opening said through-orifice, allowing access to the dispensing opening and to the lateral space.

  • the cover may comprise a flat end wall.
  • the free end edge of the inclined wall is situated inside the container and axially at a distance from the frontal end face of said container onto which the dispensing opening opens. This facilitates axial compactness of the device.
  • the expression “situated axially at a distance” means that the free end edge of the inclined wall is situated at a non-zero axial distance from the frontal end face of the container. In other words, the free end edge is spaced apart axially from the frontal end face of the container.
  • the device also comprises a retaining wall integral with the container and axially disposed at least partially between the free end edge of the inclined wall and the frontal end face of the container onto which the dispensing opening opens.

  • the tabs may be arranged so as to form two groups of tabs that are symmetric with respect to a longitudinal median plane of the container.
  • the retaining wall is continued at each circumferential end by an oblique flange. This makes it even easier to dispense the doses.
  • the free end edge of the inclined wall may have an indentation.
  • the free end edge of the retaining wall may have an indentation.
  • the inclined wall extends transversely beyond a longitudinal median plane of the container.
  • the container is also provided with an opening for filling the compartment.

  • the retaining wall 64 extends from the internal wall 90 in this case.
  • the exemplary embodiment illustrated in Figures 10 and 11, in which identical elements bear the same references, differs from the previous embodiment mainly by the design of the container of the end piece 74.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de distribution de doses hydrosolubles à usage unique contenant au moins un produit, en particulier un produit cosmétique, qui comprend un contenant longitudinal (12) ayant un compartiment intérieur (22) pour stocker un empilement de doses hydrosolubles et une ouverture de distribution (26), et une paroi inclinée (20) solidaire du contenant (12), qui s'étend jusqu'à l'ouverture de distribution (26) et au moins partiellement à l'intérieur du contenant. La paroi inclinée (20) délimite partiellement le compartiment (22). La paroi inclinée (20) laisse un espace latéral (60) à l'intérieur du contenant (12). L'ouverture de distribution (26) débouche sur une face d'extrémité frontale (12c) du contenant, qui est au moins partiellement située dans la continuité axiale de l'espace latéral (60).
