  • a cosmetic product for example mascara, a nail polish or a liquid lipstick.
  • the invention relates more particularly to a device comprising a receptacle containing the product, an applicator comprising an applicator element, a gripping member, a rod connecting the applicator element to the gripping member, and an applicator member. squeezing arranged to at least partially wring the applicator element when it is removed from the container.
  • the gripping member may also be in the form of a cap for closing the device, in particular by screwing onto the neck of the container.
  • Such devices can also be closed in a sealed manner by a conical sealing system, for example using a rod which has a conical section sealingly against a corresponding cone present in the upper internal part of the wringing member. .
  • the product deposited by the applicator element on the wiper member, and therefore partly on the cone is driven at least partially upwards when the sealing contact with the rod as the contact surface is relatively large and extends to the upper end of the wiper member. After several successive uses, this product deposit overflows the upper end of the wiper member to finally soil the thread of the neck of the container. The screwing of the cap on the neck of the container becomes difficult or even impossible thus preventing the closure of the container.
  • the zone of greater deformability is an area of the wiper member which deforms more than the rest of the wiper member located above the sealing zone.
  • the zone of greater deformability may for example stretch 50% of its length, measured along the axis of the rod.
  • the zone of greater deformability of the wiper member makes it possible to axially move the sealing zone on which the seal is made so that the device is more tolerant.
  • the development and production conditions are thus facilitated which facilitates the industrialization of the device.
  • the wiper member may comprise a wiping zone formed at a distance from the sealing zone.
  • the sealing zone is located at a sufficient distance from the wiping zone so as not to cause the wiping zone to deform when the rod bears tightly against the sealing zone.
  • the spin function and the sealing function of the wiper member are furthermore perfectly separated.
  • the sealing zone may be formed at a distance from the upper end of the wiper member.
  • the zone of greater deformability of the wiper member may comprise a smaller thickness than the rest of the wiper member situated above the sealing zone.
  • the zone of greater deformability of the wiper member has for example a thickness of less than 1 mm and preferably less than 0.6 mm.
  • the zone of greater deformability may be made of a material different from the material constituting the remainder of the wiper member, the material of the zone of greater deformability having a greater deformability than the material constituting the rest of the wiper.
  • the sealing zone of the wiper member may be delimited by a shoulder.
  • the shoulder may extend radially inwardly of the wiper member by delimiting an annular surface perpendicular to the axis X of the rod.
  • the shoulder may delimit a frustoconical surface converging towards the opening of the container.
  • the rod may comprise a shoulder intended to bear against the sealing zone of the wiper member.
  • the container may comprise a neck in which is engaged at least partially the wiper member.
  • the wiper member may be made of an elastomeric material or a polyolefin, especially polyethylene.
  • the spinning zone can define a circular orifice of diameter adapted to that of the squeezing rod.
  • the diameter of the orifice defined by the wiping zone may be less than or equal to the diameter of the rod portion on contact when the device is closed.
  • the spinning zone can be a lip.
  • the application element may be a brush, a comb or may comprise a foam tip.
  • the container may contain a cosmetic product, including mascara.
  • FIG. 1 shows a device 10 for packaging and applying a product P, for example a cosmetic product such as mascara.
  • a product P for example a cosmetic product such as mascara.
  • This device 10 comprises a container 20, for example of elongate shape, an applicator 30 and a wiper member 40 fixedly attached to the container 20.
  • the container 20 comprises a body 21 containing the product, provided in the example considered in the upper part of a neck 22, threaded externally in the example illustrated.
  • the upper end of the neck defines an opening in which is engaged the wiper member 40.
  • the applicator 30 comprises a rod 31 of axis X, of circular section over substantially its entire length in the example considered, provided at its lower end with an applicator element 32 constituted in the example illustrated by a brush with twisted soul.
  • the rod 31 is connected at its upper end to a gripping member 50 also constituting a closure member of the container 20.
  • the closure member comprises an outer cover 51 formed by a cylindrical wall 52 which is connected superiorly to a transverse wall 53, perpendicular to the axis X.
  • a tubular skirt 54 made in one piece with the rod 31 in the illustrated example, is housed inside the cover in which it is held by retaining means comprising for example a relief such as an annular bead 55 arranged to be housed in a corresponding groove 57 of the skirt 54.
  • the skirt tubular 54 and the rod 31 are interconnected by an annular wall 56 extending transversely with respect to the axis X.
  • the tubular skirt 54 is threaded on its inner surface to allow screwing of the closure member on the neck of the bottle.
  • the skirt 54 and the neck 22 further comprise under their respective threading a relief, not shown, the two reliefs being provided to cooperate with each other to mark the end of the screwing.
  • the relief provided on the skirt is provided to come into contact with the relief provided on the neck during screwing of the cap on the container and to cross it by deforming it elastically so as to produce a sound signal at the end of screwing.
  • the wiper member 40 comprises a body 41 which is applied to the inner surface of the neck 22.
  • This body 41 may comprise retaining means on the container 20 , these retaining means comprising for example as illustrated a relief such an annular bead 42 arranged to fit in a corresponding groove of the inner surface of the neck 22.
  • the wiper member 40 comprises a flange 43 bearing on the upper end 23 of the neck 22.
  • the wiper member 40 comprises in the lower part an annular wringing lip 44, defining an orifice of circular section, this lip 44 being arranged to be applied on the rod 31 and / or the applicator element 32 during removal of the applicator 30 from the container.
  • the lip 44 defines a circular orifice of diameter substantially equal to that of the portion of the rod on which it is in contact when the device is closed.
  • the wiper member 40 may be made for example of an elastomeric material or a polyolefin, especially polyethylene or any other plastic material. In the example illustrated, the wiper member 40 is made of a single material.
  • the rod comprises an annular shoulder 33 intended to bear against an annular shoulder 45 formed in the wiper member when the closure member is screwed onto the container.
  • the shoulder 33 formed in the rod defines an annular surface facing the brush 32, which extends in a plane perpendicular to the axis X of the rod.
  • the shoulder 45 formed in the wiper member also defines an annular surface, facing the upper end of the wiper member, which also extends in a plane perpendicular to the axis X of the rod .
  • the shoulders 33 and 45 define, not an annular surface perpendicular to the axis X, but a frustoconical surface which converges towards the axis X.
  • a godron 34 on the shoulder 33 of the rod, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the godron 34 is intended to to come substantially crush the shoulder 45 of the wiper member.
  • the wiper member 40 advantageously comprises a deformable zone 46 which can stretch along the axis of the rod so as to substantially vary the axial position of the zone where the seal is made.
  • the relative position of the shoulders can thus be determined with greater tolerance.
  • it can be provided that the two shoulders come into contact with each other substantially before the end of the screwing of the closure member. Once the shoulders are in contact with each other, the tightening of the closure member is still possible thanks to the stretching of the deformable zone of the wiper member which allows the rod to move. the shoulder 45 of the wiper member downwards.
  • the deformable zone 46 is constituted by a wall of thinner thickness, situated above the shoulder 45.
  • the wall 46 is stretched along the axis of the rod, as illustrated in Figure 2A.
  • the wall 46 retracts, as illustrated in Figure 2B.
  • the wall 46 has a thickness of 0.4 mm, while the body 41 of the wiper member has a thickness of 1.2 mm and that the thickness of the wiper member at level of the shoulder 45 is approximately equal to 1.5 mm.
  • the wall 46 has for example a length, measured along the axis X, approximately equal to 2 mm.
  • the stretched wall 46 has a length of about 3 mm.
  • the deformable zone of the wiper member may alternatively be constituted by a wall of the same thickness as the rest of the wiper member, but of more deformable material than that in which the rest of the wiper is made. wiper member, as illustrated in Figure 4.
  • the deformable zone may for example be made of thermoplastic elastomer, especially PP / SBS, PP / SEBS, very low density polyethylene such as metallocenes elastomeric PET such as Arnitel® or NBR. According to another variant, it can also be provided that the deformable zone is constituted by a wall of smaller thickness and in a material different from the rest of the wiper member.
  • the deformable zone of the wiper member may also comprise reinforcements on its outer wall which prevent any deformation other than along the X axis of the deformable zone.
  • reinforcements on its outer wall which prevent any deformation other than along the X axis of the deformable zone.
  • the applicator element 32 may consist of something other than a brush, and in particular, as illustrated in FIG. 5, by a tip which may or may not be flocked and may or may not comprise a foam or, as illustrated in FIG. 6, by a comb.
