  • Patent number: 10206479
    Abstract: An application head for a product includes a body that is substantially of revolution and has at its front axial end a hollow spherical surface forming a housing that receives a magnetizable applicator ball with a tight fit, said applicator ball being held by a magnet, this body being intended to hold the product on its inside, wherein the body comprises a chamber located along the passage of the product coming from the inside of this body so as to lead into the housing, this chamber containing a magnetized or non-magnetized valve held on its inside, which can slide through a short axial travel while remaining stuck to the applicator ball, so as to close the passage in the rear position and to open this passage in the front position.

  • Patent number: 9155372
    Abstract: An applicator for a fluid product offers a thermal effect by creating a cold sensation upon application to a surface. The applicator comprises a reservoir containing a fluid product; an end-piece with a dispensing face having an orifice for dispensing the fluid product onto the surface to be treated; and a thermal storage end-piece that includes an application face. The thermal storage end-piece is made from a material having a thermal effusivity that is higher than that of the product dispensing end-piece so as to provide thermal sensations upon contact with the surface to be treated. The application head is shaped so that, by orienting the applicator selectively relative to the surface to be treated, one can place the latter in contact with the dispensing face of the dispensing end-piece while avoiding contact with the application face of the thermal storage end-piece.

  • Patent number: 8573875
    Abstract: The invention relates to an applicator for a fluid product such as a cosmetic product, of the type including: a container (101) having an outlet, a control ring (133) which is mounted to the container such that it can move between a closed position in which it seals the outlet and an open position in which it opens the outlet, and an application member (155) which is mounted to the control ring such as to communicate with the outlet when the ring is in the open position. The control ring is rotatably mounted to the container, abutment means (129, 135) being provided in order to stop the travel of the ring towards the closed position thereof.

  • Publication number: 20090317166
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for dispensing a product, comprising a container (1) for a product, on which there is mounted an application head (3) and a removable protective cap (5) which covers the head (3), the cap (5) comprising a lateral skirt (7) which is substantially in alignment with the walls of the container (1) when the cap (5) covers the application head and which has, at the free end thereof, means for fixing to the container. The device according to the invention is distinguished in that the application head (3) comprises at least one active portion (11) which is fixed to a support and which is orientated in a direction which is inclined relative to the axis of the container and whose dimensions are such that it is completely received in the cap when the cap is fixed to the container.
