  • Patent number: 4720046
    Abstract: The container comprises a distribution valve having disposed on its outlet orifice, a push button (14) cooperating with the valve to produce discharge of the mousse. The discharge channel (24) opens in a mousse accumulation chamber (28), in which the entering flow of the mousse is deflected by a deflector (36) before escaping towards the exterior through a grill (27) constituting the end wall of the said chamber (28), substantially opposite to said ejection channel (24). This arrangement permits the control of the discharge of the mousse, which leaves in a compact manner, presenting a much greater fineness of texture, with a much greater ability to be applied.

  • Patent number: 4638927
    Abstract: A container comprises a bottle for a liquid product and having at the end of its neck a leakproof envelope enclosing an additional product to be stored separately from the liquid in the bottle. A cap on the neck includes a slidable push button carrying a perforator to open the envelope in a central region of the envelope to allow the additional product to mix with the liquid and then to be discharged through an eccentric duct in the cap rather than having to pass through the center of the cap where the perforator is positioned.

  • Patent number: 4404922
    Abstract: An ageing indicator compares a closed sachet of one or more closed tubes of a material which is slightly permeable to a fluid contained in the sachet or tube. The rate of permeation of the fluid through the sachet-like assembly tube wall depends upon temperature and time of exposure to that temperature so the quantity of fluid loss is indicative of temperature and time; the ageing capable of then being detected either by measuring a column of the liquid in a tube or by observing the appearance or disappearance of printed indicia in the sachet.
