  • Patent number: 10232394
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8899856
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8777505
    Abstract: A product dispenser for dispensing an elongate product strip includes, in one embodiment, a product container for storing the product to be dispensed, the container defining an opening through which the product can exit the container, a product flow regulator and a dispensing cover that overlies the product flow regulator. The product flow regulator is positioned proximate the container opening and comprises a flow passage that is in communication with the product container, the flow passage accommodating the product exiting the container. The product flow regulator terminates in at least one distribution aperture for allowing the product within the flow passage to exit the product flow regulator, the product flow regulator further comprising a reservoir for accommodating the product exiting the product flow regulator. The dispensing cover defines an elongate distribution slit proximate the reservoir of the product flow regulator, for allowing an elongate product strip to be dispensed.
