Patent number: 7845874Abstract: A packaging and dispenser device for a composition may include: a casing containing a reserve of composition; a composition-dispenser mechanism including a rotary member, which, when turned in a first direction, is accompanied by the composition being dispensed; and an actuator system configured to turn on the rotary member of the composition dispenser mechanism. The actuator system may include: a first pushbutton configured to turn the rotary member in the first direction; and a second pushbutton configured to turn the rotary member in a second direction, opposite to the first direction. The rotary member being turned in the first direction may be independent of the rotary member being turned in the second direction.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2006Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignee: L'OrealInventors: Daniel Crosnier, Christiane Léonice Léone Boyer, legal representative, Marc Ramet, Nicolas Albisetti

Patent number: 7178701Abstract: The invention relates to a metering pump comprising a pump barrel (1) housing a dose chamber (32) and control means that can be moved between a discharge position and a rest position. The inventive metering pump is characterised in that the control means comprise: a push rod (2); a piston (3) that can slide in relation to the push rod (2) and in relation to the pump barrel (1) all the while remaining in permanent contact with said two elements; and an elastically-deformable annular valve (4) that rests permanently against the push rod (2). The control means are moved between the rest position and the discharge position in two steps; the push rod (2) slides in relation to the piston (3) in the pump barrel; and subsequently the push rod (2) and the piston (3) slide jointly in the pump barrel (1) and discharge opening (42) is released.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2002Date of Patent: February 20, 2007Inventors: Daniel Crosnier, Jean-Marie Dulery

Patent number: 6948639Abstract: A device for packaging and dispensing of a cosmetic product which includes a container to hold the product, with the container being delineated by a body. A movable element moves relative to the container body and is capable, in response to an action exerted manually on a surface of an actuating element, of moving from a first position to a second position. The movable element incorporates a first lip intended to engage with an inner wall of the body, during at least part of its movement, thereby isolating a dose of product inside the container in a manner to cause its expulsion through at least one dispensing aperture. The movable element also includes an upper lip capable of being applied in a leaktight manner against the inner wall during at least part of its movement from the first position to the second.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2004Date of Patent: September 27, 2005Assignee: L'OrealInventors: Nicolas Albisetti, Mathilde Winckels, Daniel Crosnier

Patent number: 6932246Abstract: An assembly for packaging and dispensing a product, especially a cosmetic product. The assembly includes a container containing the product and delimited by a body, one end of which is closed by a bottom. A movable component is movable relative to the body of the container and is capable, in response to an action exerted manually on a surface of an actuation component, of passing from a first position in which the volume delimited between the movable component and the bottom of the container is a maximum, to a second position in which the volume is a minimum, so as to pressurize the product contained in the volume and deliver the product through at least one dispensing orifice. When the movable component returns from the second position towards the first, air passes into the volume through at least one passage formed between the movable component and an internal surface of the container.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2003Date of Patent: August 23, 2005Assignee: L'OrealInventors: Daniel Crosnier, Florent Duqueroie, Nicolas Albisetti
