  • Patent number: 6286518
    Abstract: This device comprises a reservoir and a dispensing head, equipped with at least one row of application teeth, this head being connected to the reservoir by at least one channel for conveying the product to the base of the teeth. According to the invention, the head comprises at least one row of retention teeth extending along each row of application teeth and located at a distance from the latter, these teeth being shorter than the teeth; the space between one row of application teeth and an adjacent row of retention teeth, and the spaces between the teeth in these two rows, are such that they permit the product to be retained in them so that said space located between one row of application teeth and an adjacent row of retention teeth forms an intermediate product reservoir capable of receiving and temporarily retaining this product.
