Abstract: A device for packaging and applying a substance, in particular a cosmetic or a care product, the device comprising a receptacle for containing the substance, said receptacle being provided at the top with an applicator that is permeable to the substance and that has an inside face fed with the substance coming from the receptacle. In the vicinity of the bottom face of the applicator, the device comprises an element that forms an intermediate reservoir that is in permanent communication with the receptacle and that is suitable for retaining a certain quantity of the substance when the device is turned upside-down from a head-up position and is then returned to the head-up position, said intermediate reservoir-forming element also being arranged to enable the substance retained in this way to feed the applicator, at least in certain conditions of use of the device.

Abstract: An applicator includes a handle member, a retainer secured to the handle member, an applicator ball rotably mounted in the retainer, and at least one elastically-deformable link element connecting the retainer to the handle member so that the retainer is moveable relative to the member. The handle member may be configured to be capable of closing a receptacle in a leaktight manner.

Abstract: A device for packaging and distributing a substance, for example, a liquid. The device includes a housing for the substance, a piston movable in the housing, and a piston-driving mechanism. The piston-driving mechanism includes a first element turnable relative to a second element to cause axial displacement of the piston in the housing, after at least one of the elements has turned an amount relative to the other. The device can include a ring for transforming relative rotation of the two elements over a first angular path in a substance-dispensing direction into relative axial displacement of the two elements. The ring can be arranged to turn firstly with the first element over the first angular path and to co-operate with the second element to cause the axial displacement. Secondly, the ring can turn when relative rotation of the two elements is continued beyond the first angular path, relative to the sleeve element by being driven in rotation by the second element.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an assembly for packaging and distribution of a liquid product comprising:

Abstract: A device for packaging and dispensing a substance having a housing containing the substance and a screen through which the substance is dispensed. The packaging device includes first and second elements capable, in a first state of the device prior to the filling with the substance, of enabling one of the elements to be positioned on a predetermined position relative to the other After filling, in a subsequent state of the device, one of the elements slides relative to the other element, to provide a corresponding decrease in the volume of the housing as the substance is used.

Abstract: An elastically deformable shutter has a first portion attached to a fixed wall of a dispenser head, a second portion attached to a drive member, and a third portion between said first and second portions. The deformable shutter in an open configuration enables substance in a receptacle to flow towards the dispenser orifice. In a closed configuration, the substance is prevented from flowing towards the dispenser orifice. A third portion bears against a wall of the dispenser head in the closed configuration. Passage from one configuration to the other is induced by an action other than pressure from substance in the receptacle.

Abstract: A dispensing head for a container holding a product of liquid-to-pasty consistency includes a body in which a product outlet orifice and a closure member for selectively closing off the orifice are provided. The closure member includes of a member made of an elastically deformable material covering the orifice and is configured to move away under the pressure of the product in order to expose the orifice and allow the product to pass through it, and is configured to return to the closed position when the pressure is released. The closure member includes a sleeve, a first end of which is fastened to the body and a second end of which forms a free edge, said sleeve surrounds the body and is positioned over the orifice when said free edge has been turned up over the body. The body is rigid or semi-rigid.
