Abstract: A hair comb may include a succession of teeth having at least one tooth that bears a hook, and at least two teeth without hooks. The hook may extend at least in part beyond a plane that is defined by at least two teeth in the succession.

Abstract: A device for applying a fluid product to hair. The device includes a product reservoir, and a comb having at least two groups of teeth. The two groups of teeth each include at least two teeth, and the distance between the two groups of teeth is greater than the distance between at least two adjacent teeth in each group of teeth. In addition each group of teeth is supplied with product from at least one product exit opening communicating with the interior of the reservoir. The space between the two groups of teeth is substantially free of teeth or has projections whose average length is smaller than the average length of the teeth in the groups of teeth.

Abstract: A comb for the hair includes a first side having a first series of teeth and a second side having a series of notches. At least one tooth is provided in the base of one or more of the notches. The tooth or teeth in the notch or notches have an end set back or recessed from the opening of the notch. The first and second sides extend on either side or in different directions from a lengthwise axis of the comb.

Abstract: A comb for the hair including a body having a lengthwise axis (X). At least one first gap is defined between two teeth of a first pair of teeth, with this first gap having a first height. At least one second gap is defined between two teeth of a second pair of teeth, with this second gap having a second height lower than the first height. In a preferred form of the teeth defining the first and second gaps, only the teeth defining the second gap are arranged to hold a lock of hair between them. At least one of the teeth defining the second gap includes a projection extending into this second gap. In a preferred form, all of the teeth defining the first and second gaps are located on the same side of the body of the comb.

Abstract: The present invention provides a receptacle (1) comprising a tubular body (2) formed by a sheet comprising at least a first layer of plastics material and an outer, second layer that is fibrous, said sheet being assembled into a tube along at least two of its edges.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a receptacle configured to contain a substance, such as a cosmetic, the method including: disposing a preform, at least in part, inside a hollow covering piece having an outside surface that is one of fibrous and rough textured, the preform having a single opening; and deforming the preform by exerting internal pressure, so as to make the preform substantially match a shape of an inside surface of the covering piece.

Abstract: An applicator device includes a grasping element, two arms mounted on the grasping element and an applicator between the two arms. The applicator can apply a product in the form of a line onto a surface. The device can additionally include a reservoir containing the product such that the grasping element incorporates a mechanism to hold the reservoir in a position preventing the applicator from being charged when the latter is applied against the application surface.

Abstract: A packaging and dispensing device for a product, such as a cosmetic product. The device includes a reservoir containing the product, a cap which is removably mountable on the reservoir, and an applicator capable of being loaded with a quantity of product. A first end of the applicator is connected to the cap, and a second end of the applicator is coupled to the reservoir. The applicator can thus be suspended between the cap and the reservoir to direct the applicator against a surface to apply the product to the surface.

Abstract: A pump for fixing on a receptacle includes: a stationary portion including a pump body; a moving assembly movable relative to the pump body and co-operating therewith to define a variable-volume pump chamber; an opening in the pump body that enables the pump chamber to communicate with the inside of the receptacle and enables the pump to operate in a head-down position; an air intake passage, distinct from the opening, between the stationary portion and the moving assembly; a first lip configured to press in a leaktight manner against the pump body and to prevent communication via the opening between the inside of the receptacle and the pump chamber; and a second lip arranged, at least when the moving assembly is in an end-of-stroke position, to prevent communication through the inside of the pump body and via the opening between the inside of the receptacle and the outside.

Abstract: An applicator device in which a product is held within a recess at least partially defined by a support and a lateral enclosure which is slidably mounted on the support. The lateral enclosure includes at least one opening at an end opposite to the support such that as the lateral enclosure is moved relative to the support the product is progressively exposed. Where the product is a solid or stick form, the opening of the lateral enclosure can be provided across the entire cross-section of the lateral enclosure. Where the product is a semi-solid or a viscous liquid, such as a gel, a plurality of openings can be provided, with the product urged through the plurality of openings as the lateral enclosure is moved relative to the support.

Abstract: A packaging arrangement for a product and a sample associated with the product. The packaging includes a flexible tube having a first end which delimits an outlet hole a second end opposite the first which is closed at an end closure zone formed by fastening an end edge portion of the tube onto itself, for example, by welding or adhesive bonding. The tube further includes at least one intermediate closure zone which is formed between the first and second ends, and which is formed by fastening a wall of the tube onto itself along at least one transverse line so as to define at least two compartments which are isolated from one another. One of the compartments communicates with the outlet hole. The two compartments can be separated from one other by breaking (e.g., tearing) an arrangement for facilitating separation, with the separation facilitating arrangement provided in the region of the intermediate closure zone. The product and the sample can be the same or different products.
