  • Publication number: 20140199003
    Abstract: The sachet (1) for a metered quantity of a fluid product comprises a first part (4a) and a second part (4b) in the form of sealed flexible layers having an annular attachment sector (8), a gripping region (13), and a sealed cavity (14), and, in a part of the gripping region (13), the layer portion of the first part (4a) and/or the second part (4b) is folded on itself from the edge (3) in a folded flap (18a, 8b), so as to form a thicker region (18) having a thickness at least twice the thickness of the layer portion of this part (4a, 4b), which makes up for at least part, or equalizes, or exceeds the overthickness in the region of the cavity (14), on account of the presence of the metered quantity of fluid product (P) located therein, so as to reduce or eliminate the risk of damage to the sachet (1) filled with the metered quantity of fluid product (P) when it is inserted into a magazine.

  • Patent number: 8235617
    Abstract: The unit (1) includes a packaging (2), an applicator (3), and a product P to be applied. The applicator (3) includes an application element (12) that is housed with the product P in a reservoir (8), an internal handling part (13) that is placed in a holding housing (11) which substantial relative rotation cannot occur. A part in the shape of a rod (14) is housed in a pipe (10) that the rod is rigid enough not to break when the packaging (2) is folded crosswise for the purpose of opening break. The unit (1) also includes two holding zones for the purpose of the break fold in a fragile transverse zone (16) with lower strength.

  • Publication number: 20100032452
    Abstract: The invention concerns a device for dispensing at least one dose of fluid product sample, comprising: a device for dispensing said dose of product contained in a reservoir, two thin walls enclosing said device, each of said walls having an outer surface forming a support for being fixed on a flat document, or constituting an advertising medium, and a member for fixing the thin walls on the dispensing device. The member has a thickness not less than that of the dispensing device, such that said member prevents any direct pressure on said device. The member also has a generally flattened shape having a lateral surface with two opposite main parts, said lateral surface being inscribed substantially entirely between two parallel planes located proximate each other.

  • Publication number: 20090279937
    Abstract: The unit (1) includes a packaging (2), an applicator (3), and a product P to be applied, whereby the applicator (3) includes an application element (12) that is housed with the product P in a reservoir (8), an internal handling part (13) that is placed in a holding housing (11), whereby substantial relative rotation cannot occur, and, between them, a part in the shape of an elongated rod (4), housed in a pipe (10), whereby this rod is rigid enough not to break when the packaging (2) is folded crosswise for the purpose of its opening break, whereby the unit (1) includes two holding zones for the purpose of the break fold in a line or fragile zone of lower strength (16), namely a zone (19) for gripping the packaging (2) formed by the outside face of a trough (10a), the outside face of a closing part opposite a closing piece (5), and the adjacent parts of the edges (6, 7) of a shell and the closing piece, and a zone (20) for gripping the applicator (3) that is formed by the outside face of the holding housing (1

  • Patent number: 6095689
    Abstract: A bag (1) which includes at least two flexible but tearable walls (2, 3) placed opposite to one another, and a margin (4) for rigidly joining the two walls (2, 3) one against the other, disposed so as to delimit, on the one hand, the outer periphery (6 to 9) of the bag (1), and on the other hand, the outer contour (10 to 13) of a central volume (5) intended to contain a product which can be liquid, pasty or pulverulent, for example. There is a line (18) of weakest resistance which extends on the joining margin (4) and which is intended to allow the bag (1) to be opened by tearing the walls (2, 3). A first end (19) of the line of weakest resistance (18) is located at a peripheral edge (7) of the joining margin (4).
