Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging device and application of a product by means of an application organ, the organ application being presented by a rod connected to a cap, and the cap being adapted to be mounted on the container in a closed position for which the applicator member extends inside the container.
  • make-up or skincare products such as example of mascara, an eyeliner, an eye shadow, a nail polish, or lipstick.
  • the user pulls on the cap so as to bring the organ just below the wiper. Then the user exercises a pivoting of the cap relative to the container, the rod then comes to lock in stop across the neck. Continuing the pivoting, we obtain the displacement of the ball in its housing until the rod has an angular position searched for the hood. Finally, the user performs one last pulling to disengage the applicator member from the container. During this last traction, the user risks losing the angular position he had obtained, especially because of the crossing of the wiper.
  • the hinge area is presented by the application member.
  • it can also be defined at the junction between the stem and the organ application, or even on the stem.
  • the axis portion longitudinal axis of the rod is disposed on a first side of the articulation zone, the rod having a second portion, disposed on a second relatively to this area of articulation, to carry the application member.
  • the guide and the cap can form a second housing to receive the elastic return means, this second housing being in communication with the first dwelling.
  • both The housings are preferably molded from a single piece.
  • the guide has a closure means capable of cooperating with a complementary closure means provided on the container.
  • the hinge area can be arranged inside the first housing, thus only the second portion of rod, downstream of the zone articulation, protrudes from this first housing.
  • the second rod portion at least partially emerging from the guide comprises a ring for cooperating with spans presented at a periphery inside the guide so that this second stem portion comes out of the guide extending along an axis forming an angle with the main axis of elongation of the guide.
  • the articulation zone tolerates the formation of this angle which is obtained by forcing the ring against offset staves, this stress being provided by the elastic return means.
  • One of the interests of the present invention is to be able to reduce the space generated by such devices when they are in the closed position, especially by designing the retractable rod inside the device.
  • Another advantage of the invention is to propose a tight closure of the container, directly obtained by cooperation between the hood and the opening of the container, regardless of the movement of the rod relative to this cap. For this purpose, we first put the rod in the hood before coming seal the closure between the cap and the container. when inserts the applicator into the container, the latter is lowered into the container. And during a movement of bringing the cap closer to the container, the applicator member is pressed against an inner wall of the container, such so that the elastic return means is gradually compressed.

  • the rod 2 is here centered inside the cap 1, it comprises at least one portion extending along a longitudinal axis of principal elongation X which is superimposed here with the axis of revolution Y of cap.
  • the cap 1 may have any other type of shape that is aesthetic or ergonomic for the subsequent grip of this cap.
  • the applicator member 3 is an element attached to the rod 2.
  • the applicator member 3 is a tuft of bristles held between two threads metal twisted together so that ends of these wires, sometimes called “tails of the brush", serve to fix the organ application on the stem.
  • the rod 2 comprises at least one portion on which the application member 3 is retained, this portion then being able to form a core of the application member 3. It is for example molded in one piece with the stem.
  • the applicator member 3 comprises an application surface 5 and an axis A longitudinal axis around which this application surface is defined. 5.
  • the case the application member 3 is mounted so that the axis around which the strands of the brush are twisted substantially corresponds to this longitudinal axis AT.

  • This collar 10 has an opening 11 through which the rod 2.
  • the rod 2 can slide, through this opening 11, inside the guide 6.
  • the application member 3 is in an initial rest position ready to work.
  • the spring 7 pushes the rod 2 so that it exceeds a maximum of an outlet port 12 of the guide 6.
  • the organ 3 is then removed to the maximum of the cap 1 also serving of grasping organ.
  • the guide 6 defines a first tubular housing 13, also called a portion tubular 13, extending along an axis Z.
  • the Z axis is superimposed on the axis of revolution Y of the cap 1.
  • a second housing 18 is formed inside which will be arranged the spring 7.
  • walls 14 erected orthogonally to this collar 10 participate in the definition of second dwelling 18.

  • This bottom 24 comprises at least one part defined transversely to the axis of the neck 21.
  • the spring 7 is according to the invention with a compressibility greater than that of the application member 3, which means that when the application member 3 is in bearing against the bottom 24 of the container 22, the force of approximation exerted between the container 22 and the cap 1, this force being in particular exerted along the axis Z, first leads to a compression of the spring 7, even before the organ application 3 is compressed. Compression of the application member 3 may occur when the compression capacity of the spring 7 is reached.
  • the compression ratio of the spring 7 in its housing 18 is chosen in taking into account the dimensional tolerances of the manufacture of the rod 2, the applicator member 3, the container 22 and the mounting tolerances of the applicator member 3 on the rod 2 and mounting the guide 6 in the cap 1, so that the user has to provide a controlled and reproducible effort manually to engage the cap 1 on the container 22. From preferably, it is expected that the spring 7 does not have to be brought beyond a level given compression, lower than its maximum compression level.
