Patent number: 10232394Abstract: A device for distributing a liquid. The device includes a bottle including a reservoir designed to store liquid, and a distribution element, and a concealment assembly. The distribution element allows the liquid to be distributed from the inside to the outside of the reservoir. The concealment assembly includes a base and a concealment ring that is movable along a main displacement axis from a first, operating position, to a second, locking position. The displacement of the concealment ring occurs through a helical movement of the concealment ring relative to the base in relation to the main displacement axis. As well, the displacement of the concealment ring from the operating position to the locking position allows at least part of the distribution element to be concealed. Finally, the concealment element further includes a ballast rigidly connected to the concealment ring.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2017Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: Albea ServicesInventors: Gael Thorez, Laurent Pesqueux, Jean-Pierre Rousseau, Quentin Maunoury

Patent number: 8899856Abstract: An applicator (10) for applying a cosmetic product onto a person's skin, the applicator (10) comprising a first handle component (12) and an application arrangement (14) connected to the first handle component (12). The application arrangement (14) comprises at least two application elements (16.1, 16.2) that can be loaded with cosmetic product, each of which can be brought selectively into contact with the person's skin to apply the cosmetic product. In an embodiment, the application arrangement (14) is rotatably fitted to a distal end (18) of the first handle component, (12) thereby allowing a user to select which application element (16.1, 16.2) is to be loaded with cosmetic product for application to the person's skin. In an embodiment, each application element (16.1, 16.2) is rotatably fitted to a support, which in turn is rotatably fitted to the distal end (18) of the first handle component (12), the rotating application element facilitating the loading and application of the cosmetic product.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2010Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: Albea ServicesInventors: Michel Limongi, Gaël Thorez, Benoît Kellal
