Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a nozzle for applying a product, liquid to pasty consistency on a support, as well as to a dispenser provided with this application tip.
  • This dispenser is intended, in particular, for the application of a cosmetic product on the skin or mucous membranes, but it is also usable to distribute a viscous product in other areas of the technique, for example an adhesive.
  • the invention relates to the distribution and application of a composition of lipstick or lip balm creamy consistency or skin treatment cream.
  • the invention aims, in particular, the conservation of this composition in good conditions, without risk of deterioration thereof by the ambient air.

  • This applicator further comprises a hole for distribution which ends with a hollow application brush.
  • a cosmetic composition for example example a composition of lipstick with a creamy consistency
  • this type of brush applicator does not allow precise makeup of lips, due to the flexibility of the bristles of the brush. This results in a feeling discomfort for the user.
  • a brush-shaped applicator it is not possible to apply compositions having a high viscosity.
  • the intensity of the pigments contained in the composition is faded and you get a matte makeup with little coverage.
  • An application nozzle having the characteristics of the preamble of claim 1 is known from FR-A-1,573,465.
  • the Applicant sought, in particular to create an applicator having a high application comfort with good product spreading properties, while allowing precise makeup of the lips.

  • viscosity of this product varies between 0.6 and 17 Pa ⁇ s.
  • the distribution orifice communicates with a supply channel completely crossing the nozzle and in communication with the product contained in a reservoir.
  • This unidirectional closing system consists of a valve capable of closing the passage and opening under the pressure of the product during the distribution thereof, and preventing ambient air from entering the tank when dispensing ceases, stopping product flow instantly after distribution.
  • this valve is located near the orifice and especially at the end of the inlet channel.
  • the valve makes part of the nozzle, the nozzle and the valve being thus made in one piece.
  • This valve can be in elastic support against a seat formed by a rigid part, by example an attached part, provided with said product supply passage.
  • the application surface of the nozzle comprises at least a cavity or at least one groove, the orifice being located in this cavity or in this throat.
  • the cavity or the groove into which the orifice opens is extended, parallel to the application surface, by passages so as to create spreading channels for the product when it is applied to the support.
