  • Publication number: 20090065018
    Abstract: The applicator tip comprises: a) an application means comprising a rigid core and a plurality of flexible projections, b) an axial handle member having an axial direction and comprising an upper end adapted to be fixedly connected to a rod, and operatively associated with the rigid core through its lower end, and characterized in that: 1) the applicator tip has, along the axial direction, a length L0 ranging from 10 mm to 30 mm, application means having a length L1 which ranges from 6 mm to 15 mm, wherein Lo=L1+L2, 2) the application means having a transverse width T, taken in a transverse plane, which is variable as a function of the axial distance L which varies from 0 to L1, the function T=f(L) having a maximum value of T1 for the transverse width when L is between 0.3. L1 and 0.7. L1.

  • Publication number: 20070098484
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention disclose an applicator distributor of a pasty product that flows by gravity, the applicator distributor comprising a body comprising a main reservoir for said product, a distribution head comprising at least one orifice and a removable cap. The cap forms a means for vertically placing the applicator distributor, and wherein the applicator distributor is a downward-facing applicator distributor, so that the product can flow by gravity to the head, and wherein, the head comprises: a peripheral member forming a means of attachment to said reservoir, a central member comprising a central arch obstructing said main opening and comprising a portion forming an application surface of said product, and at least one flexible element that can be deformed under an axial strain, and can form a secondary reservoir that can house a dose of said product, and that can be filled when said applicator distributor is facing downwards.
