  • Patent number: 11623814
    Abstract: A disposable deformable capsule includes: a pouch containing a cosmetic product whose periphery is two sheets pressed against and fixed to one another; a channel connecting the pouch to the outside, forming a section of narrower cross-sectional area; a frangible wall separating the pouch and channel, shapes as an inward-pointing angular recess within the otherwise convex shape of the periphery of the pouch, the rupture of which occurs by peeling apart, at the recess, the two sheets, placing the pouch in communication with the channel so the product flows to the channel; a connector, able to be coupled with another connector of another capsule, with rigidity sufficient to seal the connection between the capsules once coupled, located at one end of the channel opposite the end next to pouch or at an opening distinct from the end of the channel located next to pouch, opening to outside the capsule.

  • Patent number: 11589664
    Abstract: The manufacturing apparatus comprises a first capsule containing a predetermined amount of a first formulation, the first capsule including a first connection portion and an outlet passage provided with an outlet orifice; a second capsule containing a predetermined amount of a second formulation, and including a second connection portion configured to be connected to the first connection portion; and a mixing machine configured to receive the first and second capsules, and to mix the first and second formulations contained in the first and second capsules so as to obtain the cosmetic product. The manufacturing apparatus is configured to automatically close the outlet passage when the first and second capsules are received in the mixing machine, and to automatically clear the outlet passage when the first and second capsules are removed out of the mixing machine.

  • Patent number: 11284697
    Abstract: Disclosed is a disposable deformable capsule including: a pouch containing a predetermined amount of only one of two phases which when mixed form a ready-to-use cosmetic product, a narrowing which forms a channel leading from one side to the pouch and from the other side to outside the capsule, the pouch being flattened, one of its two faces being flat, the other of its two faces being at least partly convex and flexible to allow expelling the contents of the pouch by mechanical pressure on the pouch.

  • Patent number: 10967342
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for production of a cosmetic product including: at least one first single-use packaging unit including a preset quantity of a first phase of a cosmetic product, at least one second single-use packaging unit including a preset quantity of a second phase of a cosmetic product, a machine including a mixer inside of which the mixture of the preset quantity of the first phase and the preset quantity of the second phase is done automatically in order to end up with a cosmetic product directly consumable by the end consumer. The mixing is done in a manner such that neither the first phase nor the second phase are in direct contact with any part of the mixer which is not single use, thus avoiding dirtying the mixer.
