  • Patent number: 7845874
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 7824121
    Abstract: A packaging and applicator device may include a receptacle for containing a composition to be applied and an applicator including an applicator element that is configured to be inserted into the receptacle for taking the composition. The receptacle may include a body and a movable system that is movable inside the body. The movable system may include a wiper member that includes only one opening through which the applicator element passes while the applicator element is being inserted into the receptacle, the movable system being configured so as to move in a generally unidirectional manner toward a bottom of the receptacle under an effect of a force exerted by the applicator while the applicator is being inserted into the receptacle.

  • Patent number: 7717302
    Abstract: The present invention provides a pump (1; 60; 90) for mounting on a receptacle (3), the pump including: an air intake passage formed between the pump body and the moving assembly and capable of communicating with the opening (18) of the pump body; a first lip (40) arranged, after the moving assembly has moved away from a rest position in the substance-dispensing direction, to press in leaktight manner against the pump body and prevent communication between the inside of the receptacle and the pump chamber (6) via the opening (18); and a second lip situated above the first lip when the pump is observed in the head-up position, said second lip being arranged to close the air intake passage when the moving assembly is in its rest position and to release said passage when the moving assembly (5) is displaced in the substance-dispensing direction.

  • Patent number: 7665635
    Abstract: An assembly for packaging and dispensing liquid may include a receptacle for containing a supply of liquid and a refillable unit arranged to be placed in a separable manner on the receptacle. The refillable unit may include a body and a piston that is movable relative to the body and that co-operates therewith to define a storage chamber of variable volume for containing the liquid. The storage chamber may be put into fluid communication with the receptacle to be filled therefrom when the refillable unit is placed on the receptacle. The refillable unit may also include a pump arranged to take liquid from the receptacle when the refillable unit is placed thereon, and to take liquid from the storage chamber when the refillable unit is separate from the receptacle. The pump may include a pump chamber that is distinct from the storage chamber.

  • Patent number: 7178701
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 6978913
    Abstract: A pump may comprise a body, and a member movable relative to the body substantially along an axis of the pump. A pumping chamber may be defined by at least the body and the member. The pumping chamber may comprise a peripheral wall. The pump may further comprise an elastically deformable membrane comprising a first portion and a second portion. The first portion may be axially fixed relative to the peripheral wall, as well as being in contact with an inner surface of the peripheral wall at least in the presence of overpressure in the pumping chamber, and configured to place the pumping chamber in selective communication with at least one inlet passage. The second portion may be configured to place the pumping chamber in selective communication with at least one outlet passage.

  • Patent number: 6948639
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 6932246
    Abstract: 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.
