Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an assembly for conditioning and the application of a cosmetic product according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such an assembly is described in US-A-5,636,931.
  • the invention is aimed primarily at the packaging and application of liquid or semi-liquid products, especially in the form of a milk, an emulsion, a serum, a perfume, a toilet water, or a gel.
  • French patent FR 2 701 818 describes an assembly comprising a reservoir containing a product to be applied, a cap for closing the reservoir, and a elastically deformable application element, in particular made of cellular foam open.
  • the product reservoir is limited by a capillary shaped tip glove finger, having a rigid bottom pierced with at least one capillary orifice against the application element is deformed, when the reservoir is closed by the cap.
  • the rigid contact between the applicator and the seat in which is pierced the supply port can cause, during a frictional movement between the applicator and the seat, which is the case for example at the opening of the assembly, more or less damage to the surface of the applicator, especially when flocked. This damage can affect sensitive the characteristics of the application, especially the softness.
  • the product to be applied is very liquid, in particular when it comes to perfume or eau de toilette, the product may, when the assembly is reversed, flow through the product inlet, and from this in fact, pollute the environment in which such a flow occurs. Regardless of the risks associated with such a reversal, product leaks by evaporation, when the product contains relatively volatile solvents, can to be important.
  • the patent application FR-A-2 754 458 describes a set of application comprising an applicator consisting of a product capable of solubilizing or gelling on the surface, in contact with a liquid composition contained in a first housing located below a second housing receiving the applicator. Both housings are separated by a block of foam in contact with which is disposed the applicator.
  • this device can pose certain problems in that, the deleterious applicator is still in contact with a liquid able to disintegrate it. As a result, between two relatively It can not be ruled out that the applicator disintegrates completely, which then makes it totally unusable.
  • non-soluble to qualify the applicator reflects the fact that, unlike document FR-A-2 754 458 mentioned above, the bringing the applicator into contact with the product to be applied does not modify the integrity of the applicator.
  • the applicator does not disintegrate, does not does not disintegrate, dissolve, or gell when in contact with product contained in the first compartment.
  • a such applicator may be in the form of a foam, a felt, a sinter, a elastomer, or any other material, in particular thermoplastic.
  • Her consistency can be rigid or semi-rigid. The material that forms it can be porous or not.
  • the porous organ by its ability to soak up product in depth, form a reserve of product, much larger than that obtained with a rigid seat as described in the patent FR 2 701 818 mentioned above.
  • the surface application of the applicator being in support of this reserve, its loading in produced, especially when the whole is opened when the porous organ is decompresses, is immediate.
  • the applicator when the applicator is rigid, because of its support on a seat flexible member consisting of an elastically compressible member, the latter is deformed and conforms to the shape of the applicator, thus increasing the contact area between the applicator and the porous organ. As a result, the result is a much better product loading of the applicator.
  • the contact between the applicator and the compressible seat is soft. As a result, the state the surface of the applicator is not affected by the friction that may occur produce, especially at the opening, between the applicator and the porous organ.
  • the block of porous material also forms a barrier to the liquid, able to limit appreciably the evaporation of the solvents contained in the product, and to limit the risks of product flow, in the event of a rollover or turnaround of the whole.
  • At least the part of the porous organ with which the applicator is placed contact is elastically compressible.
  • the totality of the porous member is elastically compressible.
  • the compressibility of the organ porous can be uniform, especially in the case of a porous organ formed of the same foam, or variable, especially in the case of a porous organ formed of a stack of several foam blocks having densities different.

  • the reversible fixation of the closure element on the assembly can be provided by snapping, screwing, or by a bayonet system.
  • the elastically compressible porous member may consist of a block of hydrophilic foam, with open or semi-open cells, in particular polyurethane or polyether, a flexible sinter, especially ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVA) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or low density felt.
  • EVA ethylene vinyl alcohol
  • PVC polyvinyl chloride
  • the porosity of the material is such that, even at saturation, the absence of pressure, the product does not flow from the porous organ. Such a ability to retain the product, even at saturation, can be improved by incorporating into the porous material, water-absorbing agents.
  • Such a porous member may be formed of a block, in particular of foam of which the thickness at rest can range from 1 mm to several mm.
  • the porous organ may further contain bacteriostatic agents. We reduce thus the amount of preservative to be incorporated directly into the product even.
  • the applicator is made of a rigid or semi-rigid material, in particular a thermoplastic material, felt or sintered material.
  • the applicator is made of an elastic material compressible, in particular of an open-cell or semi-open-cell foam, or an elastomer.
  • the compressibility of the applicator is preferably lower, similar to that of the elastically compressible porous member.
  • the applicator is made of a material elastomeric.

  • a perforated element forms a rigid support for the porous member, preventing it from sinking towards the container, when the applicator is supported on said porous member.
  • Such a perforated element may also form an element capable of holding, in particular by capillarity or surface tension effect, a certain amount of product directly in contact with the surface of the porous block, further improving, impregnation of the porous block with the product.
  • the configuration of the openwork element including the number, size, and density of holes, depends in a wide measurement of the rheology of the product, the characteristics of the applicator, in particular its compressibility, and features sought after at the application, in particular the quantity of product to be applied to each application.

  • the product can also be brought into the porous member by means of a pump connected to a plunger tube.
  • the first compartment is of variable volume, and is constituted in particular a container with deformable walls, elastically or not. So, one can use a tube whose flexible walls are able to crash in response at a pressure exerted on it. The walls resume their initial position when stop the pressure.
  • the resulting overpressure inside the container may promote the passage of the product retained by capillarity in the vicinity of the organ porous (in particular by a grid supporting the porous organ), or directly on the porous organ.
  • the overpressure inside the container may result from a pressure exerted on a portion of the container configured as a bellows.
