  • Patent number: 8579531
    Abstract: This device comprises a container (12), a head (14) which is for dispensing cosmetic product and which is provided with a rotary application member (44) and a retention cap (42). It comprises a blocking cover (16) which can be moved between a position for blocking the container (12) and a position for dispensing the product. The container (12) is shaped so as to prevent the device (10) from being retained in a stable manner on a horizontal support with the head (14) in an upward position. The cover (16) comprises a member (86) for urging the rotary application member (40) against a sealing seat (60) delimited by the cap (42) in the blocking position of the cover. The urging member (86) can be resiliently deformed relative to the cover (16) between an idle configuration and a resiliently deformed configuration.

  • Patent number: 7611032
    Abstract: A dispensing head, intended for actuating a dispensing element mounted on a container and for dispensing a product contained in the container, includes: a) a mechanism for fastening the head to the container; b) a dispensing duct able to communicate with the product inside the container; and c) an actuating mechanism for actuating the dispensing element. The actuating mechanism can be provided with a dispensing orifice and is able to move with respect to the duct between a first position in which the product can be dispensed and a second position in which the product cannot be dispensed and in which the dispensing element cannot be actuated. The actuating mechanism is able, in the second position, to butt against an integral portion of the fastening mechanism that prevents displacement of the actuating mechanism from the first to the second position.

  • Patent number: 5368231
    Abstract: Dispenser for foam under pressure, containing a foaming liquid pressurized by a non-liquefied compressed gas, equipped with a dispensing valve (7) having additional gas take-off (8), such that the gas/liquid ratio of the mixture dispensed lies between 95/5 and 99/1 (vol/vol), the dispenser being fitted with a pushbutton (30) which includes a spraying member and an endpiece, the end-piece comprising a case (34) defining an accumulation chamber (40) into which the spraying member sprays the product to be dispensed through a spray nozzle (39) emerging into the accumulation chamber (40), the nozzle (39) having a diameter lying between 0.7 and 2 mm, the chamber (40) being closed by a porous frit (36) constituting, at least in part, a wall of the accumulation chamber (40) opposite that in which the spray nozzle (39) is arranged and located at a distance from the latter lying between 0.5 and 5 mm.
