La presente invention concerne un applicateur de produit fluide pour appliquer un produit fluide sur une surface d'application, telle que par exemple la peau. Par produit fluide, on entend tout d'abord les liquides plus ou moins visqueux, mais egalement les poudres ou plus generalement les produits s pulverulents. Un tel applicateur peut etre utilise dans les domaines de la The present invention relates to a fluid product applicator for applying a fluid product to an application surface, such as for example the skin. By fluid product is meant first of all more or less viscous liquids, but also powders or more generally powdery products. Such an applicator can be used in the fields of
parfumerie, de la cosmetique ou encore de la pharmacie. perfumery, cosmetics or even pharmacy.
En effet, il est tres frequent, particulierement en cosmetique et en pharmacie, d'utiliser des tampons applicateurs pour appliquer une poudre ou un liquide sur la peau, les ongles ou les cheveux. Le produit fluide, liquide ou o pulverulent, est stocke dans un recipient ou conteneur separe, et lton vient tremper ou impregner le tampon applicateur dans le produit fluide afin de ['imbiber de liquide ou de le recouvrir de produit pulverulent. Ensuite, on Indeed, it is very common, especially in cosmetics and in pharmacies, to use applicator pads to apply a powder or a liquid to the skin, nails or hair. The fluid, liquid or o pulverulent product is stored in a separate container or container, and the applicator pad is soaked or impregnated in the fluid product in order to [imbibe liquid or cover it with pulverulent product. Then we
applique ce tampon impregne ou revetu sur la surface d' application souhaitee. apply this impregnated or coated pad to the desired application surface.
L'application du produit fluide steffectue done en deux etapes: la premiere etape s consistent a prelever le produit fluide dans le recipient ou il est stocke, et la seconde etape consistent a appuyer ou appliquer le tampon applicateur charge The application of the fluid product therefore takes place in two stages: the first stage consists in withdrawing the fluid product in the container where it is stored, and the second stage consists in pressing or applying the loaded applicator pad
sur la surface d' application souhaitee. on the desired application surface.
Etant donne que le recipient ou est stocke le produit fluide et le tampon applicateur vent deux elements parfaitement separes et distincts, ltoperation o d/impregnation ou de revetement steffectue a l' air libre, ce qui peut non seulement provoquer des pertes de produit fluide, mais encore le produit fluide est au contact de l' air ce qui peut contribuer a sa deterioration, par dessechement Since the container where the fluid is stored and the applicator pad has two perfectly separate and distinct elements, the odor / impregnation or coating operation takes place in the open air, which can not only cause losses of fluid product, but also the fluid product is in contact with air which can contribute to its deterioration, by drying
ou oxydation.or oxidation.
La presente invention a pour but de remedier, ou au moins d'attenuer, les s inconvenients precites de l' art anterieur en definissant un applicateur de produit fluide dans lequel ['impregnation du tampon applicateur steffectue sans risque de perte de produit fluide et sans risque de deterioration ou d' alteration du produit fluide. Pour atteindre ce but, la presente invention propose un applicateur de so produit fluide pour appliquer un produit fluide sur une surface d' application, l'applicateur comprenant une coque comprenant un corps et un capuchon The present invention aims to remedy, or at least mitigate, the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art by defining a fluid applicator in which the impregnation of the applicator pad is carried out without risk of loss of fluid product and without risk of deterioration or alteration of the fluid product. To achieve this object, the present invention provides an applicator for its fluid product for applying a fluid product to an application surface, the applicator comprising a shell comprising a body and a cap.

Dans les trots modes de realisation illustres sur les dessins, l'applicateur In the three embodiments illustrated on the drawings, the applicator
de produit fluide de ['invention comprend une coque comprenant un corps 1 et un capuchon amovible 2, une capsule 4 contenant du produit fluide et un tampon applicateur 3 destine a recueillir le pro duit fluide pour ensuite l' appliquer sur une surface d' application par exemple la peau. Le corps presente ici une forme sensiblement arrondie, oblongue, ovode ou elliptique, vue de dessus comme sur la figure 1, avec une configuration sensiblement plate lorsque vue de cBte ou de profil, comme representee sur la figure 2. On peut bien entendu imaginer d'autres formes pour la coque. Le corps o 1 et le capuchon 2 definissent tous deux un volume interieur creux qui va servir d'espace de reception pour la capsule 4 et le tampon applicateur 3. Le capuchon 2 est monte de maniere amovible sur le corps 1. Une fois rapporte l'un sur l'auke, les volumes de reception definis respectivement par la capsule et le corps communiquent directement et vent isoles de ltexterieur. Le corps 1 definit un bord exterieur 12 destine a venir en prise a l'interieur d'un bord interieur 21 forme par le capuchon 2. Pour le maintien du capuchon 2 sur le corps 1, il peut etre prevu un profil de maintien ou d'encliquetage au niveau du bord exterieur 12 du corps 1 et un profil complementaire au niveau du bord interieur 21 du capuchon 2. Ainsi, le capuchon 2 peut etre rapporte et fixe sur le corps 1 de o maniere amovible. D'autre part, le corps 1 forme au niveau de sa paroi interne a proximite du bord 12 une rainure d'encliquetage 13 qui s'etend ici en forme de boucle aplatie sur toute la peripherie interne. La fonction de cette rainure fluid product of the invention comprises a shell comprising a body 1 and a removable cap 2, a capsule 4 containing fluid product and an applicator pad 3 intended to collect the fluid product in order then to apply it to an application surface for example the skin. The body here has a substantially rounded, oblong, ovoid or elliptical shape, seen from above as in FIG. 1, with a substantially flat configuration when viewed from the side or in profile, as represented in FIG. 2. One can of course imagine d 'other shapes for the hull. The body o 1 and the cap 2 both define a hollow interior volume which will serve as a reception space for the capsule 4 and the applicator pad 3. The cap 2 is removably mounted on the body 1. Once the 'on the auke, the reception volumes defined respectively by the capsule and the body communicate directly and are isolated from the outside. The body 1 defines an outer edge 12 intended to come into engagement inside an inner edge 21 formed by the cap 2. For the maintenance of the cap 2 on the body 1, it can be provided with a holding profile or d 'snap at the outer edge 12 of the body 1 and a complementary profile at the inner edge 21 of the cap 2. Thus, the cap 2 can be attached and fixed to the body 1 o o removable manner. On the other hand, the body 1 forms at its internal wall near the edge 12 a latching groove 13 which here extends in the form of a flattened loop over the entire internal periphery. The function of this groove
d'encliquetage sera donnee ci-apres. will be given below.
Selon ['invention, le corps 1 forme, au niveau d'une de ses faces, une paroi d'actionnement 10 qui presente une caracteristique de deformabilite avantageusement elastique. En d'autre terme, lorsque l'on appuie sur la paroi d'actionnement 10 celle-ci a tendance a se deformer par enforcement, puis a revenir a sa forme d'origine de repos des que lton relache la pression sur elle. La face 11 opposee a la paroi d'actionnement 10 peut elle etre parfaitement rigide et so meme pourvue d'une ou de plusieurs bride(s) de renforcement 14 qui defnissent According to the invention, the body 1 forms, at one of its faces, an actuating wall 10 which has a characteristic of advantageously elastic deformability. In other words, when the actuating wall 10 is pressed, it tends to deform by enforcement, then to return to its original form of rest as soon as the pressure is released on it. The face 11 opposite the actuating wall 10 can be perfectly rigid and even provided with one or more reinforcement flange (s) 14 which define
un plan d'appui stable pour la capsule 4, comme on le verra ci-apres. a stable support plane for the capsule 4, as will be seen below.
28371742837174
La capsule 4 est initialement scellee et definit un reservoir 40 contenant du produit fluide, liquide ou pulverulent. Cette capsule 4 est adaptee a s'ouvrir au niveau d'un endroit predetermine lorsque l' on applique une pression sur son reservoir au niveau d'une paroi appropriee. Selon une forme de realisation s pratique, la capsule 4 peut etre realisee a partir d'une coque 41, par exemple thermoformee, et d'une feuille operculaire 46. La coque 41 definit un dome 42 et un pourtour sensiblement plat 44. La feuille operculaire 46 est fixee a la coque 41 au niveau du pourtour sensiblement plat 44. Un volume interne ou reservoir 40 est ainsi forme entre la feuille operculaire 46 et la coque 41 au niveau de son o dome 42. Le dome 42 est deformable ou enfoncable lorsque lton appui sur lui, ce qui a pour effet d'ouvrir la capsule scellee au niveau d'un endroit predetermine The capsule 4 is initially sealed and defines a reservoir 40 containing fluid, liquid or pulverulent product. This capsule 4 is adapted to open at a predetermined location when pressure is applied to its reservoir at an appropriate wall. According to one practical embodiment, the capsule 4 can be produced from a shell 41, for example thermoformed, and from an opercular sheet 46. The shell 41 defines a dome 42 and a substantially flat periphery 44. The sheet opercular 46 is fixed to the shell 41 at the substantially flat periphery 44. An internal volume or reservoir 40 is thus formed between the opercular sheet 46 and the shell 41 at its o dome 42. The dome 42 is deformable or inserted when You press on it, which has the effect of opening the sealed capsule at a predetermined location.

modes de realisation, est disposee a l'interieur du corps 1 en prenant appui avec embodiments, is arranged inside the body 1 by taking support with
sa face inferieure, ici constituee par la feuille operculaire 46, sur les brides i5 d'appui 14 formees au niveau de la face 11 du corps 1. La capsule 4 est ainsi positionnee de telle sorte que son dome deformable 42 soit situe juste en dessous de la paroi d'actionnement 10 du corps 1, de sorte qutun enforcement de la paroi its lower face, here constituted by the opercular sheet 46, on the support i5 flanges 14 formed at the face 11 of the body 1. The capsule 4 is thus positioned so that its deformable dome 42 is located just below of the actuating wall 10 of the body 1, so that an enforcement of the wall
d'actionnement 10 a pour effet de deformer le dome 42 de la capsule 4. actuation 10 has the effect of deforming the dome 42 of the capsule 4.
Dans le mode de realisation des figures 1 a 3, ltouverture de la capsule o scellee 4 est effectuee au moyen d'un pointeau de percement 43, avantageusement forme par le dome 42, qui est oriente de maniere a venir en contact et perce le film operculaire 46 lorsque le dome 42 est deforme ou enforce. Le film operculaire 46 constitue ainsi un element de paroi percable par lequel le produit fluide stocke dans le reservoir 40 peut stecouler une fois le In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3, the opening of the sealed capsule 4 is carried out by means of a piercing needle 43, advantageously formed by the dome 42, which is oriented so as to come into contact and pierce the film opercular 46 when the dome 42 is deformed or reinforced. The opercular film 46 thus constitutes a pierceable wall element by which the fluid stored in the reservoir 40 can stecouler once the
s percement realise.s drilling carried out.
Dans le mode de realisation des figures 4 a 6, et meme 7, la capsule 4 forme un canal 47 qui fait partie ou qui debouche dans le reservoir 40. Ce canal 47 est ferme a son exkemite par une soudure faible 48 adaptee a se defaire lorsqu'une pression suffisante est appliquee sur le dome deformable 42. Une o ouverture ou orifice de sortie est ainsi cree(e) pour permettre au produit fluide In the embodiment of FIGS. 4 to 6, and even 7, the capsule 4 forms a channel 47 which forms part or which opens into the reservoir 40. This channel 47 is closed at its end by a weak weld 48 adapted to undo when sufficient pressure is applied to the deformable dome 42. An opening or outlet orifice is thus created to allow the fluid product
stocke dans le reservoir 40 de stecouler hors de la capsule 4. stored in the tank 40 to steak out of the capsule 4.

entendu imaginer d'autres techniques utilisant le coupage ou le dechirement d'une partie de la capsule scellee 4. Le tampon applicateur 3 comprend une tete d'application 31 qui definit au niveau de sa surface externe la surface applicatrice destinee a venir en contact d' une surface cible d' application telle que la peau, les ongles ou encore le. s heard imagining other techniques using cutting or tearing a part of the sealed capsule 4. The applicator pad 3 includes an application head 31 which defines at its external surface the applicator surface intended to come into contact with 'a target application surface such as skin, nails or. s
cheveux. La tete d'application 31, dans tous les modes de realisation, est hair. The application head 31, in all embodiments, is
to solidaire du corps 1. On peut toutefois imaginer des modes de realisation dans to solidary with the body 1. One can however imagine embodiments in
lesquels le tampon applicateur 3 est solidaire du capuchon 2. Dans les deux which the applicator pad 3 is integral with the cap 2. In the two
modes de realisation des figures 1 a 6, le tampon applicateur 3 est pourvu d'une embodiments of Figures 1 to 6, the applicator pad 3 is provided with a
platine de fixation 34 sur laquelle la tete d'application 31 est fixee, par exemple par collage ou soudage. Cette platine de fixation 34 comprend un bord is peripherique externe 36 destine a venir en prise dans la rainure d'encliquetage 13 formee a l'interieur du corps 1. Avantageusement, l'encliquetage du bord 36 de la platine 34 realise une etancheite de sorte que le produit fluide provenant de la capsule 4 ne peut pas fuir au niveau du bord peripherique de la platine. La platine de fixation 34 comprend en outre une fenetre 35 qui fait communiquer la o capsule 4 avec la tete d'application 31 du tampon applicateur 3. Dans les deux fixing plate 34 on which the application head 31 is fixed, for example by gluing or welding. This fixing plate 34 comprises an outer peripheral edge 36 intended to engage in the latching groove 13 formed inside the body 1. Advantageously, the latching of the edge 36 of the plate 34 provides a seal so that the fluid product coming from the capsule 4 cannot leak at the peripheral edge of the plate. The fixing plate 34 further comprises a window 35 which communicates the capsule 4 with the application head 31 of the applicator pad 3. In the two
modes de realisation des figures 1 a 6, la capsule 4 est fixee a la platine de embodiments of Figures 1 to 6, the capsule 4 is fixed to the plate of
fixation 34 au niveau de la fenetre 35. En effet, la capsule 4 forme un appendice de fixation 45 dont les bords vent en prises a l'interieur de la fenetre 35. Dans le mode de realisation des figures 4 a 6, cet appendice 45 forme le conduit 47 et la soudure faible 48, alors que dans le mode de realisation des figures 1 a 3, cet appendice 45 n'est forme que par le pourtour plat 44 de la coque 41. La capsule 4 est ainsi parfaitement stable a l'interieur de la coque 1, puisque supportee sur les brides d'appui 14 et en outre maintenue a la platine de fixation 34 sur laquelle la fixing 34 at the level of the window 35. In fact, the capsule 4 forms a fixing appendage 45 whose wind edges engaged inside the window 35. In the embodiment of FIGS. 4 to 6, this appendix 45 forms the conduit 47 and the weak weld 48, whereas in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3, this appendage 45 is formed only by the flat periphery 44 of the shell 41. The capsule 4 is thus perfectly stable at 'interior of the shell 1, since it is supported on the support flanges 14 and also maintained at the fixing plate 34 on which the
tete d'application 31 est elle meme fixee. application head 31 is itself fixed.
Dans le mode de realisation des figures 1 a 3, dans lequel ltouverture de la capsule scellee 4 est obtenue par percement d'un element de paroi forme par le In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3, in which the opening of the sealed capsule 4 is obtained by piercing a wall element formed by the

film operculaire 46, le tampon applicateur 3 forme une languette d'alimentation 32 qui s'etend en dessous de la capsule 4 jusqu'au niveau du film operculaire 46 au niveau ou il va etre perce par le pointeau 43. Ceci est visible clairement sur la figure 2. Ainsi, apres percement de la capsule, le produit fluide peut s'ecouler dans la languette 32 et ainsi etre achemine jusqu'au niveau de la tete d'application 31. Pour ce faire, la languette d'alimentation 32 passe egalement a travers la fenetre 35 formee par la platine de fixation 34. Ceci contribue encore davantage a la cohesion de ['ensemble forme par la capsule et le tampon applicateur 3. Cette forme de realisation est plus particulierement adaptee au opercular film 46, the applicator pad 3 forms a feed tab 32 which extends below the capsule 4 up to the level of the opercular film 46 at the level where it will be pierced by the needle 43. This is clearly visible on Figure 2. Thus, after piercing the capsule, the fluid can flow into the tongue 32 and thus be routed to the level of the application head 31. To do this, the supply tongue 32 passes also through the window 35 formed by the fixing plate 34. This further contributes to the cohesion of the assembly formed by the capsule and the applicator pad 3. This embodiment is more particularly adapted to the
o produit liquide.o liquid product.
Dans la forme de realisation des figures 4 a 6, dans laquelle l'ouverture de la capsule est obtenue par la rupture d'une soudure faible 48, le produit fluide, qui peut ici etre pulverulent egalement, est directement alimente a l'interieur de la tete d'application 31 a travers la fenetre 35. En effet, comme on peut le voir i5 sur les figures 4 et 5, la soudure faible 48 est en realite disposee a l'interieur de la tete d'application 31 de l'autre cote de la fenetre 35 par rapport au corps de la capsule 4. Cette alimentation directe a l'interieur de la tete du tampon permet In the embodiment of FIGS. 4 to 6, in which the opening of the capsule is obtained by the rupture of a weak weld 48, the fluid product, which can also here be powdery, is directly supplied inside the application head 31 through the window 35. In fact, as can be seen i5 in FIGS. 4 and 5, the weak weld 48 is in reality placed inside the application head 31 of the other side of the window 35 with respect to the body of the capsule 4. This direct supply inside the head of the tampon allows
l'acheminement de liquide mais egalement de poudre. the transport of liquid but also of powder.
Dans les deux modes de realisation des figures 1 a 6, le tampon In the two embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 6, the buffer
o applicateur 3 est pourvu ou associe a une platine de fixation 34. Toutefois, on peut imaginer que cette platine soit integree au tampon applicateur 3, de sorte que celui-ci forme un bord peripherique saillant semblable au bord 36 de la platine 34, qui est adapte a venir s'encliqueter dans la rainure 13 du corps 1. I1 suffit pour cela que le tampon applicateur 3 presente une certaine rigidite ou o applicator 3 is provided with or associated with a fixing plate 34. However, one can imagine that this plate is integrated into the applicator pad 3, so that the latter forms a projecting peripheral edge similar to the edge 36 of the plate 34, which is adapted to snap into the groove 13 of the body 1. It is sufficient for this that the applicator pad 3 has a certain rigidity or
solidite au niveau de ce bord peripherique de fixation integre. solidity at this peripheral edge of integrated fastening.
Dans le mode de realisation de la figure 7, il nty a pas de platine de fixation 34. En outre, le tampon applicateur 3 stetend a l'interieur du corps 1 de sorte qutil en occupe la majorite du volume. On volt notamment que le tampon applicateur 3 stetend sous la capsule 4 en 38 et entoure en outre la capsule 4 en so 37 et 39. Ainsi, on peut dire que la capsule 4 est pratiquement noyee ou au moins partiellement entouree par le tampon applicateur 3. De plus, on peut In the embodiment of Figure 7, there is no mounting plate 34. In addition, the applicator pad 3 stends inside the body 1 so that it occupies the majority of the volume. In particular, it is felt that the applicator pad 3 stetends under the capsule 4 at 38 and further surrounds the capsule 4 at 37 and 39. Thus, it can be said that the capsule 4 is practically drowned or at least partially surrounded by the applicator pad 3 In addition, we can
8 28371748 2837174
remarquer que le tampon applicateur 3 forme une nervure de fxation 36' qui a la note that the applicator pad 3 forms an attachment rib 36 'which has the
meme fonction que le bord peripherique saillant 36 de la platine de fixation 34. same function as the projecting peripheral edge 36 of the fixing plate 34.
L'utilisation d'un applicateur selon l'une quelconque des formes de realisation ici illustrees est tres simple: il suffit en effet d'appuyer sur.la paroi s d'actionnement 10 de la coque 1 pour deformer ou enforcer le dome 42 ce qui a pour effet d'ouvrir la capsule 4 et permettre ainsi au produit fluide de s'ecouler ou d'etre chasse dans le tampon applicateur 3. Apres un temps relativement court, le produit parvient jusquta la tete d'application 31. I1 suffit alors de retirer le capuchon 2 et de se servir du corps 1 comme organe de prehension pour o appliquer la tete d'application 31 sur la surface souhaitee. I1 faut encore remarquer que le capuchon 2 peut non seulement etre retire du corps 1, mais qutil peut en outre etre tres facilement replace ou fixe sur le corps 1 apres utilisation. Ainsi, meme apres une premiere application de produit fluide, la tete d'application 31 peut etre parfaitement protegee par la remise en place du The use of an applicator according to any of the embodiments illustrated here is very simple: it suffices to press on the actuation wall 10 of the shell 1 to deform or reinforce the dome 42. which has the effect of opening the capsule 4 and thus allowing the fluid to flow or be flushed into the applicator pad 3. After a relatively short time, the product reaches the application head 31. It is sufficient then remove the cap 2 and use the body 1 as a gripping member to apply the application head 31 to the desired surface. It should also be noted that the cap 2 can not only be removed from the body 1, but that it can also be very easily replaced or fixed to the body 1 after use. Thus, even after a first application of fluid, the application head 31 can be perfectly protected by replacing the
is capuchon 2.is cap 2.
Grace a ['invention, on obtient un applicateur de produit fluide sterile et propre qui peut tres aisement etre reutilise plusieurs foist g 2837174 Thanks to the invention, an applicator of sterile and clean fluid product is obtained which can very easily be reused several times. G 2837174
