Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de conditionnement et d'application d'un produit, notamment un produit cosmétique.The present invention relates to a packaging device and of application of a product, in particular a cosmetic product.

L'invention a plus particulièrement pour objet un dispositif de conditionnement et d'application comportant un récipient pour contenir le produit et un applicateur comprenant un élément d'application, le récipient étant muni d'un organe d'essorage pour essorer l'élément d'application lorsque l'applicateur est extrait du récipient au moment de l'utilisation.The invention more particularly relates to a packaging device and application comprising a container for containing the product and an applicator comprising an applicator element, the container being provided with a wiping member to wring out the application element when the applicator is removed from the container at time of use.

On connaít de nombreux dispositifs de conditionnement et d'application de ce type.We know many devices for packaging and applying this type.

On connaít par la demande WO 91/01097 un dispositif comportant un récipient et un élément d'application de section transversale circulaire, constitué par une brosse. Un tel dispositif comporte un organe d'essorage constitué par une membrane fendue, pourvue d'un orifice central dont la section correspond sensiblement à celle de la tige de l'applicateur. En raison notamment de la présence de l'orifice précité, l'extrémité de l'élément d'application ne peut être essorée de manière satisfaisante.WO 91/01097 discloses a device comprising a container and an application element of circular cross section, constituted by a brush. Such a device comprises a wiping member constituted by a split membrane, provided with a central orifice whose section corresponds substantially to that of the rod the applicator. Due in particular to the presence of the abovementioned orifice, the end of the applicator element cannot be wrung out satisfactorily.

On connaít par le brevet britannique 452 640 un dispositif comportant un récipient pourvu d'un organe d'essorage fendu destiné à essorer un peigne introduit au travers d'une fente du récipient. Rien dans un tel dispositif n'empêche le peigne d'atteindre les extrémités de la fente de l'organe d'essorage lors du retrait du peigne.British device 452 640 discloses a device comprising a container provided with a split wiping member intended to wring a comb introduced into the through a slot in the container. Nothing in such a device prevents the comb reach the ends of the slot of the wiper member when removing the comb.

On connaít encore par la demande de brevet européen EP-A-0 761 123 un dispositif comportant un élément d'application de section transversale allongée. Un tel dispositif ne permet pas d'essorer de manière totalement satisfaisante l'extrémité de l'élément d'application sur toute sa longueur.We also know from European patent application EP-A-0 761 123 a device comprising an application element of elongated cross section. Such device does not allow completely satisfactory wringing of the end of the applicator element over its entire length.

Il existe un besoin pour améliorer la qualité de l'essorage de l'élément d'application lorsque celui-ci présente une section transversale de forme allongée, la qualité du maquillage dépendant dans une large mesure de celle de l'essorage.There is a need to improve the quality of the wringing of the element application when it has an elongated cross section, the quality of makeup depends to a large extent on that of spin.

Le nouveau dispositif de conditionnement et d'application selon l'invention se caractérise d'une part par le fait que l'organe d'essorage comporte une fente dont les bords sont sensiblement jointifs au repos en l'absence d'applicateur et d'autre part par le fait que le dispositif comporte un organe de guidage pour guider l'applicateur lors de sa sortie du récipient et maintenir l'élément d'application éloigné des extrémités axiales de ladite fente, lors de son passage à travers l'organe d'essorage au moment du retrait de l'applicateur.The new packaging and application device according to the invention is characterized on the one hand by the fact that the wiper member has a slot whose edges are substantially contiguous at rest in the absence of an applicator and on the other hand by the fact that the device comprises a guide member for guiding the applicator during its exit the container and keep the applicator element away from the axial ends of said slot, during its passage through the wiper member when removing the applicator.

Dans une mise en oeuvre préférée de l'invention, l'organe de guidage est agencé pour maintenir l'élément d'application suffisamment éloigné des extrémités axiales de la fente pour que les bords de celle-ci, au voisinage desdites extrémités axiales, restent sensiblement jointifs au passage de l'élément d'application.In a preferred implementation of the invention, the guide member is arranged to keep the applicator element sufficiently far from the ends axial of the slot so that the edges thereof, in the vicinity of said ends axial, remain substantially contiguous with the passage of the application element.

Grâce à l'invention, on peut essorer de manière particulièrement satisfaisante l'élément d'application, notamment lorsque ce dernier est sensiblement plat tel qu'un pinceau, une brosse, une mousse ou un corps floqué, dont le plan s'étend sensiblement parallèlement à la fente de l'organe d'essorage.Thanks to the invention, it can be wrung in a particularly satisfactory manner the application element, in particular when the latter is substantially flat such as a paintbrush, brush, foam or flocked body, the plane of which extends substantially parallel to the slot of the wiper member.

L'élément d'application peut comporter des poils ou dents orientés sensiblement dans l'axe de l'applicateur.The application element may include oriented bristles or teeth substantially in the axis of the applicator.

L'élément d'application peut en particulier être constitué par un peigne comprenant des dents orientées sensiblement dans l'axe de l'applicateur, leurs bases étant disposées de préférence le long d'une ligne convexe vers l'extérieur.The application element can in particular consist of a comb comprising teeth oriented substantially in the axis of the applicator, their bases preferably being arranged along a convex line outward.

De préférence, l'organe d'essorage est agencé de telle sorte que la fente s'ouvre plus facilement au moment de l'introduction de l'applicateur dans le récipient qu'au moment de son retrait.Preferably, the wiping member is arranged so that the slot opens more easily when the applicator is introduced into the container than when time of its withdrawal.

Ainsi, on peut diminuer le risque que l'élément d'application soit endommagé au moment de la rentrée de l'applicateur, tout en conservant un essorage satisfaisant de l'élément d'application lors du retrait de l'applicateur.This can reduce the risk of the application element being damaged at the time of the retraction of the applicator, while retaining a satisfactory spin of the application element when removing the applicator.

Dans une réalisation particulière, le récipient comporte un corps et l'organe d'essorage comporte une membrane élastique pincée entre une paroi du corps du récipient, parallèle à l'axe de l'applicateur, et un insert fixé sur le corps du récipient.In a particular embodiment, the container comprises a body and the organ wringing system has an elastic membrane pinched between a wall of the body of the container, parallel to the axis of the applicator, and an insert fixed to the body of the container.

L'insert précité comporte avantageusement en partie supérieure une jupe destinée à coopérer de manière étanche avec l'applicateur lorsque celui-ci est en place sur le récipient, et en partie inférieure une partie de guidage convergeant vers l'intérieur du récipient.The aforementioned insert advantageously includes a skirt in the upper part. intended to cooperate tightly with the applicator when the latter is in place on the container, and in the lower part a guide part converging inwards of the container.

Cette partie de guidage peut être constituée par exemple par une paroi inclinée se raccordant à son extrémité supérieure à une paroi de l'insert contre laquelle est pincée ladite membrane.This guide part can be constituted for example by an inclined wall connecting at its upper end to a wall of the insert which is pinched against said membrane.

Dans une réalisation particulière, l'organe de guidage est constitué par le col du récipient et les extrémités axiales de la fente se situent à l'extérieur de la plus petite section intérieure du col lorsque le dispositif est observé dans l'axe du récipient.In a particular embodiment, the guide member is constituted by the neck of the container and the axial ends of the slot lie outside the smallest inner section of the neck when the device is observed in the axis of the container.

Le col peut être conique de manière à permettre d'incliner l'applicateur par rapport à l'axe du récipient.The neck can be tapered to allow the applicator to be tilted by relative to the axis of the container.

Toujours dans une réalisation particulière, l'applicateur comporte une tige plate munie à une extrémité de l'élément d'application.Still in a particular embodiment, the applicator comprises a flat rod provided at one end of the applicator element.

L'organe de guidage peut être agencé de telle sorte que les côtés de la tige soient empêchés de venir au contact des extrémités de la fente.The guide member can be arranged so that the sides of the rod are prevented from coming into contact with the ends of the slot.

Avantageusement, la tige de l'applicateur est munie à l'autre extrémité d'un élément de préhension qui constitue également un capuchon de fermeture du récipient.Advantageously, the rod of the applicator is provided at the other end with a gripping element which also constitutes a closure cap for the container.

Dans une réalisation particulière, le col présente une section intérieure oblongue dont la plus petite dimension longitudinale n'est que légèrement supérieure à la largeur de la tige plate de l'applicateur.In a particular embodiment, the collar has an interior section oblong whose smallest longitudinal dimension is only slightly greater than the width of the flat rod of the applicator.

Avantageusement, la longueur de la fente est supérieure ou égale à 1,2 fois la plus grande dimension transversale de l'élément d'application.Advantageously, the length of the slot is greater than or equal to 1.2 times the greater transverse dimension of the applicator element.

Dans une réalisation particulière, l'organe d'essorage comporte une membrane en un matériau élastomère.In a particular embodiment, the wiping member comprises a membrane made of an elastomeric material.

Cette membrane comporte avantageusement au moins une zone de déformation préférentielle favorisant l'ouverture de la fente au passage de l'applicateur.This membrane advantageously comprises at least one deformation zone preferential favoring the opening of the slot in the passage of the applicator.

Dans une réalisation particulière, la zone de déformation préférentielle précitée est réalisée au moyen d'au moins une zone d'épaisseur plus faible, se présentant par exemple sous la forme d'une ou plusieurs gorges ménagées sur la face extérieure et/ou intérieure de ladite membrane, entourant la fente précitée.In a particular embodiment, the aforementioned preferential deformation zone is carried out by means of at least one zone of smaller thickness, presenting by example in the form of one or more grooves made on the outer face and / or interior of said membrane, surrounding the aforementioned slot.

Dans une réalisation particulière, la fente est prolongée à ses extrémités axiales par des découpes visant à conférer plus de mobilité à ses bords longitudinaux. Ces découpes forment avantageusement un angle avec les bords longitudinaux de la fente.In a particular embodiment, the slot is extended at its axial ends by cutouts to give more mobility to its longitudinal edges. These cutouts advantageously form an angle with the longitudinal edges of the slot.

De préférence, la membrane est fixée sur une paroi du récipient de manière à ce que les bords longitudinaux de la fente puissent pivoter vers l'intérieur du récipient, en éloignement de ladite paroi, lors de la rentrée de l'applicateur, et viennent en appui contre ladite paroi au moment du retrait de l'applicateur. Ainsi, les bords de la fente s'appliquent plus fortement sur l'élément d'application lors du retrait de l'applicateur que lors de sa rentrée dans le récipient, ce qui est avantageux comme expliqué plus haut.Preferably, the membrane is fixed to a wall of the container so as to the longitudinal edges of the slot can pivot towards the inside of the container, away from said wall, during the retraction of the applicator, and come to bear against said wall when removing the applicator. So the edges of the slit apply more strongly to the application element when removing the applicator than when it re-enters the container, which is advantageous as explained above.

La membrane peut être fixée par exemple sur un cône d'introduction du récipient, destiné à faciliter l'insertion de l'applicateur dans le récipient.The membrane can be fixed for example on a cone for introducing the container, intended to facilitate the insertion of the applicator into the container.

Dans une réalisation particulière, le récipient comporte un corps et un couvercle destiné à être fixé sur le corps, ce couvercle portant l'organe de guidage et l'organe d'essorage.In a particular embodiment, the container comprises a body and a cover intended to be fixed on the body, this cover carrying the guide member and the wringing member.

De préférence, la forme de l'applicateur est choisie de manière à favoriser son introduction au travers de l'organe d'essorage.Preferably, the shape of the applicator is chosen so as to favor its introduction through the wiper member.

L'organe d'essorage peut être fixé sur l'organe de guidage.The wiper member can be fixed on the guide member.

L'organe d'essorage peut fermer de manière étanche le récipient lorsque l'applicateur est sorti.The wiper member can seal the container when the applicator is out.

L'organe d'essorage peut s'appliquer de manière sensiblement étanche sur l'applicateur lorsque ce dernier est en place dans le récipient.The wiper member can be applied in a substantially sealed manner on the applicator when the latter is in place in the container.

Le dispositif 1 de conditionnement et d'application représenté sur les figures 1 à 3 comporte un récipient 2 d'axe X, comprenant un corps 3 muni à sa partie supérieure d'un couvercle 4, et un applicateur 5.The packaging and application device 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 comprises a container 2 of axis X, comprising a body 3 provided at its upper part a cover 4, and an applicator 5.

Cet applicateur 5 comprend un élément d'application 6 situé à l'extrémité inférieure 7 d'une tige plate 8, de faible épaisseur, laquelle est munie à son extrémité supérieure d'une poignée 9 constituant également un capuchon de fermeture pour le récipient 2.This applicator 5 comprises an application element 6 located at the end lower 7 of a flat rod 8, of small thickness, which is provided at its end top of a handle 9 also constituting a closure cap for the container 2.

L'applicateur peut comporter un élément d'étanchéité destiné à assurer la fermeture étanche du récipient.The applicator may include a sealing element intended to ensure the tight closure of the container.

Dans l'exemple décrit la tige 8 fait 1 mm d'épaisseur et 23 mm de large.In the example described, the rod 8 is 1 mm thick and 23 mm wide.

Le récipient 2 est destiné à contenir tout produit liquide, pâteux ou pulvérulent, notamment un produit cosmétique tel que du mascara.The container 2 is intended to contain any liquid, pasty or powdery product, in particular a cosmetic product such as mascara.

Le corps 3 et le couvercle 4 sont réalisés dans l'exemple décrit par moulage de matière plastique.The body 3 and the cover 4 are produced in the example described by molding of plastic material.

Le corps 3 présente un épaulement extérieur 10 et le couvercle 4 comporte une jupe 14 conformée pour s'emboíter sur la partie supérieure du corps 3, comme illustré sur la figure 1.The body 3 has an outer shoulder 10 and the cover 4 has a skirt 14 shaped to fit onto the upper part of the body 3, as illustrated in figure 1.

Dans l'exemple décrit, le dispositif 1 est symétrique par rapport à l'axe X.In the example described, the device 1 is symmetrical with respect to the axis X.

Le couvercle 4 comporte à sa partie supérieure un col 12, de section transversale oblongue, qui se raccorde à la jupe 14 par une paroi transversale annulaire 15.The cover 4 has at its upper part a neck 12, of section transverse oblong, which is connected to the skirt 14 by an annular transverse wall 15.

Un organe d'essorage constitué dans l'exemple de réalisation décrit par une membrane 16 est rapporté sur la face inférieure de la paroi transversale 15 pour essorer l'élément d'application 6 à sa sortie du récipient 2.A wiper member constituted in the embodiment described by a membrane 16 is attached to the underside of the transverse wall 15 to wring the application element 6 on leaving the container 2.

Comme on peut le voir plus particulièrement sur les figures 4 et 5, la membrane 16 est traversée par une fente 17 dont les bords longitudinaux 18, rectilignes, sont sensiblement jointifs au repos lorsque l'applicateur n'est pas engagé dans le récipient.As can be seen more particularly in FIGS. 4 and 5, the membrane 16 is crossed by a slot 17 whose longitudinal edges 18, rectilinear, are substantially contiguous at rest when the applicator is not engaged in the container.

La longueur a de la fente 17 est supérieure à la plus grande dimension b de la section intérieure du col 12, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 4, de préférence d'au moins 20 %.The length a of the slot 17 is greater than the largest dimension b of the inner section of the neck 12, as can be seen in FIG. 4, preferably at least minus 20%.

La membrane 16 comporte une gorge 19 réalisée sur sa face inférieure, cette gorge 19 présentant deux portions rectilignes 20 parallèles aux bords longitudinaux 18 et deux portions en arc de cercle 21 réunissant lesdites portions rectilignes 20.The membrane 16 has a groove 19 made on its underside, this groove 19 having two rectilinear portions 20 parallel to the longitudinal edges 18 and two portions in an arc 21 joining said rectilinear portions 20.

La membrane 16 est fixée à sa périphérie sur la paroi transversale 15, à l'extérieur de la gorge 19, par tout moyen approprié, par exemple par collage ou par fusion locale de matière.The membrane 16 is fixed at its periphery to the transverse wall 15, at outside the groove 19, by any suitable means, for example by gluing or by local fusion of matter.

La membrane 16 pourrait encore être agencée de manière à être fixée par encliquetage ou par pincement, en étant prise en sandwich entre deux éléments du récipient.The membrane 16 could also be arranged so as to be fixed by snap or pinch, sandwiched between two elements of the container.

La fente 17 est prolongée de part et d'autre de ses extrémités axiales 23 par des découpes 24 formant chacune un angle avec les bords longitudinaux 18.The slot 17 is extended on either side of its axial ends 23 by cutouts 24 each forming an angle with the longitudinal edges 18.

Ces découpes 24 peuvent présenter diverses formes, par exemple, comme représenté, une forme de V dont les branches divergent en éloignement de la fente 17.These cutouts 24 can have various shapes, for example, as shown, a shape of V whose branches diverge away from the slot 17.

Les découpes 24 pourraient encore présenter une forme de V dont les branches divergent en rapprochement de l'axe X, ou encore s'étendre perpendiculairement aux bords longitudinaux 18.The cutouts 24 could still have a V shape whose branches diverge closer to the X axis, or even extend perpendicular to the longitudinal edges 18.

Les portions 30 de la membrane 16 respectivement adjacentes aux bords longitudinaux 18 et situées entre les découpes 24 se comportent à la manière de volets lors de la rentrée de l'applicateur, en pivotant vers l'intérieur du récipient, comme représenté sur la figure 8 autour des portions rectilignes 20 de la gorge 19 formant des charnières.The portions 30 of the membrane 16 respectively adjacent to the edges longitudinal 18 and located between the cutouts 24 behave like flaps when retracting the applicator, pivoting towards the inside of the container, as shown in Figure 8 around the straight portions 20 of the groove 19 forming hinges.

Lorsque l'applicateur 5 est retiré du récipient 2, la surface intérieure du col 12 peut guider la tige plate 8 dans son déplacement et maintient l'élément d'application 6 éloigné des extrémités axiales 23 de la fente 17, d'une distance suffisante pour que les bords de la fente 17 au voisinage de ses extrémités axiales 23 restent jointifs, comme illustré sur la figure 6.When the applicator 5 is removed from the container 2, the interior surface of the neck 12 can guide the flat rod 8 in its movement and maintains the application element 6 distant from the axial ends 23 of the slot 17, by a distance sufficient for the edges of the slot 17 in the vicinity of its axial ends 23 remain contiguous, as illustrated in figure 6.

Ainsi, la fente 17 n'est pas ouverte en totalité au passage de l'élément d'application 6, ce qui est favorable à un essorage de grande qualité de celui-ci, notamment de ses parties latérales 32.Thus, the slot 17 is not entirely open to the passage of the element application 6, which is favorable for a high-quality spin of the latter, in particular of its lateral parts 32.

Lorsque l'applicateur est un peigne, par exemple réalisé par moulage dans une matière thermoplastique, la fente 17 permet de laisser entre les dents du peigne du produit qui est retenu par capillarité.When the applicator is a comb, for example produced by molding in a thermoplastic material, the slot 17 allows to leave between the teeth of the comb of the product which is retained by capillary action.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation décrit, les volets 30 peuvent pivoter librement vers le bas lors de la rentrée de l'applicateur, ce qui est avantageux puisque l'on évite ainsi que l'élément d'application 6 soit endommagé, ce qui pourrait être le cas par exemple si une contrainte axiale trop importante était exercée sur l'élément d'application au moment de la rentrée de l'applicateur.In the embodiment described, the flaps 30 can pivot freely down when the applicator retracts, which is advantageous since it avoids as well as the application element 6 is damaged, which could be the case by example if too much axial stress was exerted on the application element when the applicator retracts.

Par contre, les volets 30 sont gênés dans leur pivotement vers l'extérieur au moment du retrait de l'applicateur par la paroi transversale 15 du couvercle 4.On the other hand, the flaps 30 are hampered in their pivoting outwards at when the applicator is withdrawn through the transverse wall 15 of the cover 4.

Plus précisément, les volets 30 viennent en appui à leurs extrémités longitudinales contre la paroi transversale 15, de sorte que seule la portion centrale des volets 30 peut se déformer vers l'extérieur au passage de l'élément d'application 6 au moment du retrait de l'applicateur.More specifically, the flaps 30 come to bear at their ends longitudinal against the transverse wall 15, so that only the central portion of the flaps 30 can deform outwards when the application element 6 passes through the when removing the applicator.

Ainsi, les bords longitudinaux 18 de la fente s'appliquent plus fortement sur l'élément d'application 6 lorsque l'applicateur est retiré du récipient qu'au moment de son introduction.Thus, the longitudinal edges 18 of the slot are applied more strongly to the applicator element 6 when the applicator is removed from the container only when its introduction.

Dans l'exemple qui vient d'être décrit, les bords longitudinaux 18 de la fente 17 sont droits mais pourraient, en variante, comme illustré sur la figure 12, être arrondis, la membrane 16 pouvant également ne pas comporter de gorge 19 comme illustré sur cette même figure.In the example which has just been described, the longitudinal edges 18 of the slot 17 are straight but could, as a variant, as illustrated in FIG. 12, be rounded, the membrane 16 which may also not have a groove 19 as illustrated in this same figure.

Dans la variante de réalisation des figures 9 et 10, une zone de déformation préférentielle est réalisée sur la membrane 16 au moyen d'une gorge 35 qui s'étend suivant le même trajet que la gorge 19 précédemment décrite mais du côté de la face supérieure de la membrane 16.In the alternative embodiment of FIGS. 9 and 10, a deformation zone preferential is produced on the membrane 16 by means of a groove 35 which extends following the same path as the groove 19 previously described but on the side of the face membrane 16.

Dans la variante de réalisation illustrée sur la figure 11, une zone de déformation préférentielle est obtenue en réalisant des gorges 36 et 37 sur les faces inférieure et supérieure de la membrane 16, ces gorges définissant entre elles une zone d'épaisseur réduite s'étendant selon le même trajet que les gorges 19 ou 35 précédemment décrites.In the alternative embodiment illustrated in FIG. 11, an area of preferential deformation is obtained by making grooves 36 and 37 on the faces lower and upper of the membrane 16, these grooves defining between them an area of reduced thickness extending along the same path as the grooves 19 or 35 previously described.

On notera que selon la manière de réaliser les zones de déformation préférentielle et le choix de leur emplacement, on peut faire en sorte que la fente s'ouvre plus ou moins facilement au moment de l'introduction de l'applicateur dans le récipient ainsi qu'au moment de sa sortie.It will be noted that according to the manner of producing the deformation zones preferential and the choice of their location, we can make the slot open more or less easily when introducing the applicator into the container as well as at the time of its release.

On a représenté sur les figures 14 à 16 un dispositif 1' conforme à une variante de mise en oeuvre de l'invention.There is shown in Figures 14 to 16 a device 1 'according to a variant for implementing the invention.

Ce dispositif 1' comporte un récipient 2' comprenant un corps 3' ouvert à son extrémité supérieure et un insert 4' engagé dans l'ouverture du corps 3'.This device 1 'comprises a container 2' comprising a body 3 'open to its upper end and an insert 4 'engaged in the opening of the body 3'.

Le dispositif 1' comporte également un applicateur 5' comprenant un élément d'application 6', une tige plate 8' et une partie de préhension 9'.The device 1 'also includes an applicator 5' comprising an element application 6 ', a flat rod 8' and a gripping part 9 '.

Le récipient 2' comporte un organe d'essorage 16' constitué dans l'exemple décrit par une membrane traversée par une fente 17' parallèle au plan de coupe de la figure 14, sur toute la largeur du corps 3' du récipient 2'.The container 2 'comprises a wiping member 16' formed in the example described by a membrane traversed by a slot 17 'parallel to the cutting plane of the Figure 14, over the entire width of the body 3 'of the container 2'.

La membrane 16' peut se déformer de manière élastique.The membrane 16 'can deform elastically.

La tige 8' est plate, son plan étant parallèle à la fente 17'.The rod 8 'is flat, its plane being parallel to the slot 17'.

L'applicateur 5' est formé, comme on peut le voir plus particulièrement sur la figure 15, par l'assemblage de deux éléments, à savoir d'une part un premier élément comprenant la tige 8', l'élément d'application 6' et une partie de fixation 50 réalisée d'un seul tenant par moulage de matière plastique à l'extrémité de la tige 8' opposée à l'élément d'application 6' et d'autre part un capot constituant la partie de préhension 9'.The applicator 5 ′ is formed, as can be seen more particularly on the Figure 15, by the assembly of two elements, namely on the one hand a first element comprising the rod 8 ', the applicator element 6' and a fixing part 50 made of a integral with plastic molding at the end of the rod 8 'opposite the application element 6 'and on the other hand a cover constituting the gripping part 9'.

La partie de fixation 50 sert à l'assemblage de la tige 8' avec la partie de préhension 9'.The fixing part 50 is used to assemble the rod 8 'with the part of 9 'grip.

Cette dernière comporte sur sa surface intérieure, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 16, une gorge 51 dans laquelle vient s'encliqueter un godron 52 de la partie de fixation 50, celle-ci comportant en outre une jupe de montage 53 venant s'appliquer sur la surface intérieure de la partie de préhension 9'.The latter has on its inner surface, as can be seen on the FIG. 16, a groove 51 into which a gadroon 52 of the portion of attachment 50, the latter further comprising a mounting skirt 53 which is applied to the inner surface of the gripping part 9 '.

L'applicateur 5' comporte, entre la tige 8' et la partie de fixation 50, une partie d'étanchéité 54 présentant une pluralité de lèvres d'étanchéité 55.The applicator 5 'comprises, between the rod 8' and the fixing part 50, a part sealing 54 having a plurality of sealing lips 55.

L'insert 4' comporte à sa partie supérieure une jupe 60 contre laquelle viennent s'appliquer de manière étanche les lèvres d'étanchéité 55 lorsque l'applicateur 5' est en place dans le récipient 2'.The insert 4 'has at its upper part a skirt 60 against which come sealingly apply the sealing lips 55 when the applicator 5 'is in place in container 2 '.

La jupe 60 est prolongée vers le bas par une partie intermédiaire 61 présentant un épaulement, cette partie intermédiaire 61 venant s'appliquer contre la surface intérieure du corps 3' du récipient 2' ainsi que sur la tranche d'extrémité supérieure de celui-ci.The skirt 60 is extended downwards by an intermediate part 61 having a shoulder, this intermediate part 61 coming to bear against the surface inside the body 3 ′ of the container 2 ′ as well as on the upper end edge of this one.

La partie intermédiaire 61 est prolongée vers le bas par une première paroi 62 qui s'étend parallèlement au corps 3', la membrane 16' se trouvant pincée entre cette paroi 62 et le corps 3', et une deuxième paroi 63.The intermediate part 61 is extended downwards by a first wall 62 which extends parallel to the body 3 ', the membrane 16' being pinched between this wall 62 and the body 3 ', and a second wall 63.

Cette deuxième paroi 63 s'étend en oblique vers l'intérieur du récipient et constitue un moyen de guidage permettant de maintenir l'applicateur à une distance suffisante des extrémités axiales 23' de la fente 17' pour qu'au passage de l'élément d'application, les bords de la fente 17' au voisinage de ces extrémités axiales 23' restent sensiblement jointifs.This second wall 63 extends obliquely towards the interior of the container and constitutes a guiding means enabling the applicator to be kept at a distance sufficient axial ends 23 'of slot 17' for the passage of the element application, the edges of the slot 17 'in the vicinity of these axial ends 23' remain substantially contiguous.

La membrane 16' est au repos au contact du bord inférieur de la deuxième paroi 63, cette dernière constituant une butée limitant la déformation de la membrane 16' lors du retrait de l'applicateur 5'.The membrane 16 'is at rest in contact with the lower edge of the second wall 63, the latter constituting a stop limiting the deformation of the membrane 16 'when removing the applicator 5'.

L'élément d'application 6' est constitué, dans l'exemple de réalisation des figures 14 à 16, par un peigne comprenant une pluralité de dents 70 orientées sensiblement dans l'axe de l'applicateur, les dents 70 situées dans la région médiane du peigne étant pratiquement parallèles à l'axe de l'applicateur tandis que celles qui sont situées aux extrémités du peigne font un angle de l'ordre de 25° avec l'axe de l'applicateur.The application element 6 'is made up, in the embodiment of the Figures 14 to 16, by a comb comprising a plurality of teeth 70 oriented substantially in the axis of the applicator, the teeth 70 located in the middle region of the comb being practically parallel to the axis of the applicator while those which are located at the ends of the comb make an angle of about 25 ° with the axis of the applicator.

Les bases des dents 70 sont disposées selon un arc de cercle convexe vers le basThe bases of the teeth 70 are arranged in an arc convex towards the low

En outre, comme on peut le voir sur les figures 15 et 16, les dents 70 du peigne s'étendent sensiblement parallèlement à un plan faisant un angle de quelques degrés avec un plan médian du récipient 2', perpendiculaire au plan de coupe de la figure 15.In addition, as can be seen in Figures 15 and 16, the teeth 70 of the comb extend substantially parallel to a plane at an angle of a few degrees with a median plane of the container 2 ', perpendicular to the section plane of FIG. 15.

L'applicateur 5' ne s'utilise pas de côté mais de face, c'est-à-dire en faisant effectuer à l'élément d'application 6' un mouvement parallèle au plan de la figure 15, par exemple un mouvement de rotation schématisé par la double flèche sur la figure 16.The 5 'applicator is not used from the side but from the front, i.e. by make the application element 6 'a movement parallel to the plane of Figure 15, by example a rotational movement shown diagrammatically by the double arrow in FIG. 16.

Grâce à l'invention, lorsque l'élément d'application 6' est retiré du récipient 2', les extrémités libres des dents 70 peuvent être convenablement essorées, sur toute la longueur de l'élément d'application 6'.Thanks to the invention, when the applicator element 6 ′ is removed from the container 2 ′, the free ends of the teeth 70 can be suitably wrung out, over the entire length of the application element 6 '.

En outre, la membrane 16' permet d'éviter la présence d'un excès de produit entre les dents 70, en particulier aux extrémités du peigne.In addition, the membrane 16 'makes it possible to avoid the presence of an excess of product. between the teeth 70, in particular at the ends of the comb.

Bien entendu, diverses modifications peuvent être apportées aux dispositifs qui viennent d'être décrits, sans que l'on sorte du cadre de la présente invention.Of course, various modifications can be made to the devices which have just been described, without departing from the scope of the present invention.

L'organe de guidage peut ainsi être réalisé sous la forme d'une pièce rapportée dans l'ouverture du récipient, et présentant par exemple une surface de guidage conique destinée à faciliter l'introduction de l'applicateur dans le récipient et à permettre d'incliner l'applicateur par rapport à l'axe du récipient pour charger l'élément d'application avec le produit contenu dans les coins du récipient.The guide member can thus be produced in the form of an insert in the opening of the container, and having for example a conical guide surface intended to facilitate the introduction of the applicator into the container and to allow tilt the applicator relative to the axis of the container to load the element of application with the product contained in the corners of the container.

Le col du récipient peut encore, comme représenté sur la figure 13, être réalisé avec un cône d'introduction 40 divergeant vers l'extérieur, dont la plus petite dimension longitudinale b est inférieure à la longueur a de la fente, de manière à maintenir l'élément d'application éloigné des extrémités axiales de la fente.The container neck can also, as shown in FIG. 13, be made with a cone of introduction 40 diverging towards the outside, of which the smallest dimension longitudinal b is less than the length a of the slot, so as to maintain the applicator element remote from the axial ends of the slot.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur cette figure, la membrane 16 est fixée sur le récipient en étant pincée entre le corps 3 du récipient et une nervure 41 du couvercle.In the embodiment shown in this figure, the membrane 16 is fixed to the container by being pinched between the body 3 of the container and a rib 41 of the lid.

L'organe d'essorage peut comporter un flocage et plus généralement sera choisi en fonction de la nature du produit contenu dans le récipient et du type d'essorage que l'on désire réaliser.The wiper member may include flocking and more generally will be chosen depending on the nature of the product contained in the container and the type of spin that we want to achieve.

L'applicateur n'est pas limité à celui qui vient d'être décrit et l'on peut utiliser d'autres types d'applicateurs, notamment des applicateurs courbes, de forme concave ou convexe, droite ou en forme de guillotine.The applicator is not limited to the one just described and can be used other types of applicators, including curved, concave or convex, straight or guillotine-shaped.

L'applicateur et le récipient peuvent coopérer de nombreuses manières afin d'assurer que l'élément d'application soit maintenu éloigné des extrémités axiales de la fente.The applicator and the container can cooperate in many ways to ensure that the application element is kept away from the axial ends of the slot.
