  • Patent number: 10864539
    Abstract: A device for packaging and dispensing a generally fluid product includes a dispensing head placed on top of an external body into which is inserted an internal container that forms a reservoir and is suitable for rigid attachment to a metering assembly of the head. The metering assembly, of the airless type, includes a metering pump that is surrounded and supported by a closing element in direct contact with the upper end of the container in a leaktight annular connection area. A ring which surrounds the connection area covers an internal peripheral volume defined between the body and the container. A wall that is movable towards the pump inlet provides a leaktight separation and maintains an identical pressure between the product in the reservoir and the air in the peripheral volume.

  • Patent number: 10595614
    Abstract: A device to distribute a product which includes a sheath, a cup and a spiral body having at least one helical groove for guiding. The sheath is rotatable with respect to the spiral body and fitted into the spiral body. The sheath includes at least one opening having at least two portions non-parallel to the generatrix of the inner cylinder of the sheath and forming between them an obtuse angle strictly less than one hundred eighty degrees. The cup includes at least one guiding pin inserted into the helical guiding groove and into the opening. The guiding pin being displaced simultaneously along the helical groove and the opening when the sheath is set into rotation with respect to the spiral body.

  • Patent number: 10264076
    Abstract: The invention concerns the field of communicating objects intended to promote a smart environment. The invention more particularly concerns a communication system comprising: —a recipient 1 for a cosmetic or pharmaceutical product or a wine or a spirit as the communicating object and —at least two mobile telecommunication devices 110, 120. The invention also concerns an associated communication method. The recipient is incorporated into the communication system in such way as to adapt at least to the presence of the first mobile telecommunication device in the coverage area of the communication means of same. The recipient is therefore advantageously an actor of the communication system. The recipient promotes the smart environment defined by the communication system.
