  • Patent number: 10206479
    Abstract: An application head for a product includes a body that is substantially of revolution and has at its front axial end a hollow spherical surface forming a housing that receives a magnetizable applicator ball with a tight fit, said applicator ball being held by a magnet, this body being intended to hold the product on its inside, wherein the body comprises a chamber located along the passage of the product coming from the inside of this body so as to lead into the housing, this chamber containing a magnetized or non-magnetized valve held on its inside, which can slide through a short axial travel while remaining stuck to the applicator ball, so as to close the passage in the rear position and to open this passage in the front position.

  • Patent number: 9155372
    Abstract: An applicator for a fluid product offers a thermal effect by creating a cold sensation upon application to a surface. The applicator comprises a reservoir containing a fluid product; an end-piece with a dispensing face having an orifice for dispensing the fluid product onto the surface to be treated; and a thermal storage end-piece that includes an application face. The thermal storage end-piece is made from a material having a thermal effusivity that is higher than that of the product dispensing end-piece so as to provide thermal sensations upon contact with the surface to be treated. The application head is shaped so that, by orienting the applicator selectively relative to the surface to be treated, one can place the latter in contact with the dispensing face of the dispensing end-piece while avoiding contact with the application face of the thermal storage end-piece.

  • Patent number: 8342764
    Abstract: A device for packaging and/or applying a cosmetic or care product includes a hollow body forming a housing for the product, a base adapted to support the product and a driving arrangement or means for moving the base in translation so as to vary the volume of the housing. In a disclosed example, the driving arrangement or means includes an actuating member mounted movably in rotation about a shaft and able to be moved along the hollow body that is fixedly attached to the base. The actuating member includes at least one portion forming alternatively a stress surface configured to be put under stress by manual contact and an actuating surface configured to be in engagement along the hollow body.

  • Patent number: 8316863
    Abstract: An applicator nozzle may comprise an attachment portion configured to attach the nozzle to a receptacle configured to contain a product and an arrangement of at least two teeth disposed so as to form at least one row comprising first and second end teeth. At least one of the teeth of the arrangement may define a channel configured to be placed in flow communication with product contained in the receptacle. The channel may open on an exterior of the at least one tooth via at least one outlet aperture facing substantially in a direction of at least one adjacent tooth. The nozzle may further define at least one groove and the outlet aperture may open into the groove. The groove may extend from the outlet aperture substantially to a free extremity of the at least one tooth. The arrangement may be formed by a single molded piece and may be configured so as to present an obstacle to product flowing from the at least one outlet aperture beyond the first and second end teeth.

  • Patent number: 8088085
    Abstract: An appliance or device for massaging and/or dispensing a product. A preferred example includes a container holding the product, preferably a cosmetic product, a housing to which the container is mounted, and a massage element mounted on this housing. A rotary driving arrangement drives the massage element about an axis of rotation of the massaging element relative to the housing. A conduit is in fluid communication between an outlet from the container and the massage element. The container is configured for the packaging and dispensing of the product under pressure, with the conduit being connected to an outlet of a dispensing valve on the container.

  • Patent number: 8066443
    Abstract: A packaging and application device for a cosmetic product. The device may include a platform, a tube forming a housing for the product and a driving mechanism for translational movement of the platform in the tube. The movement of the platform allows dispensing of product via a dispensing opening in the tube. A side wall of the tube includes an inner cross-section having an inwards-concave portion and an inwards-convex portion. The tube is arranged in a base having an outwards-convex outer cross-section.

  • Patent number: 7758525
    Abstract: An appliance or device for massaging and/or dispensing a product. The device includes a container holding the product, preferably a cosmetic product, a housing to which the container is mounted, and a massage element mounted on the housing. A rotary drive arrangement rotates the massage elements about an axis of rotation relative to the housing. In addition, a conduit is in fluid communication between an outlet from the container and the massaging element. The container has an axis between the outlet and a bottom of the container, with this axis is parallel to the axis of rotation.

  • Publication number: 20080125682
    Abstract: A head for applying a product includes a removable member. The member may be used to dispense a product or for massage. The head includes a body that rotates the removable member about an axis of rotation, the removable member being removably coupled to the body; and a part including a movement restriction tab that restricts movement of the removable member along the axis of rotation, the rotation of the removable member being relative to this part. The removable member is configured to be secured to the part independently of its orientation relative to the restriction tab and to be detached from the part by being moved through two movements including a rotational movement and a translational movement. Additionally, the head can be connected to a container and drive mechanism to dispense and massage a product, such as a cosmetic product, into the user's skin.

  • Publication number: 20050067432
    Abstract: A packaging device for a product, particularly a cosmetic product. The device includes a bottle and an internal pocket disposed inside the bottle and capable of containing the product. The pocket is freely deformable inside the bottle. In addition, in a preferred form, the pocket is formed by an extrusion blow molding process, and includes either: i) at least two layers made of the same material; or ii) at least first and second layers made of at least two different physically and chemically compatible materials, with the first layer in contact with the product, and the second layer in contact with a space defined between the pocket and an internal wall of the bottle. By way of example, the bottle can be made of polyethylene and the internal pocket can include two bonded layers of polyamide. The device better ensures the absence of micro-holes in the internal pocket.
