  • Patent number: 10925375
    Abstract: A pot (100) comprising a body (10) presenting a cavity with an opening (11b), and a lid (20) that is movable relative to the body (10). The body (10) has an engagement element (14e) and the lid (20) has a closure tab (70) movable between an engaged position in which, when the lid (20) is in a shut position in which the lid shuts the opening, the closure tab (70) co-operates with the engagement element (14e) and thus holds the lid (20) in the shut position, and a disengaged position in which the closure tab (70) does not co-operate with the engagement element (14e). The pot has a blocking tongue (42) movable between a locked position in which it blocks the closure tab (70) in the engaged position, and an unlocked position in which the closure tab (70) is movable between the engaged position and the disengaged position.

  • Patent number: 10441056
    Abstract: A wiper device (10) for a liquid or paste applicator (30), the wiper device comprising a tubular body (12) having an axis (X), and a plurality of blades (20) that extend from the tubular body (12) and that are arranged around the axis (X), each blade (20) comprising a proximal end (22) that is close to the tubular body, a distal end (26), and an intermediate portion (24), the wiper device being characterized in that the intermediate portion (24) of each blade is closer to the axis (X) of the tubular body (12) than are the proximal and distal ends (22, 26) of said blade (20). A liquid or paste applicator unit including such a wiper device.

  • Patent number: 10399104
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a retractable covering system suitable for covering a handling element protruding from the neck of a product reservoir. In the system, an assembly ring defines a longitudinal axis and an axial direction. A cap is translatable along the longitudinal axis relative to the assembly ring between a deployed position, in which it extends substantially protruding relative to the ring, and a retracted position, in which it is at least partially retracted relative to the ring. An elastic element biasing biases the cap toward the deployed position and a reversible locking device locks the cap in the retracted position.

  • Patent number: 10028568
    Abstract: The device comprises: a casing (10) having an open end (10?); a composition support (12), that is movable in the casing between a retracted position and an extended position; and an actuator (16) that is suitable for being moved so as to cause the support to move. The device further comprises first and second magnetic elements (20, 22) that are secured to the support and to the casing respectively. When the support is in its retracted position, the magnetic elements generate magnetic forces between them, which magnetic forces are suitable for holding said support in its retracted position. When the actuator is moved, it causes the support to move, moving the magnetic elements apart from each other, thereby reducing the magnetic forces in such a manner as to enable the support to move towards its extended position.

  • Patent number: 9861177
    Abstract: A packaging device for packaging a fluid refill, in particular for a cosmetic, the packaging device including a sheath having an open end, and a removable assembly that is suitable for being fastened in removable manner to the open end between a locked position in which the refill is held in the sheath, and an unlocked position in which the refill may be removed from the sheath. The removable assembly includes a retainer interface that co-operates with the open end and that presents an anchor member, and also an actuator member that co-operates with the retainer interface while being suitable for being moved axially relative thereto, so as to be taken into an actuated position in which the actuator member urges the anchor member to be anchored to the open end of the sheath, and a disengaged position in which it releases the anchor member.

  • Patent number: 9861995
    Abstract: A dispenser device for a container containing a product to be dispensed, the device comprising a body for connecting to the container and presenting a chamber that is open at a bottom end of the body and in which a pump is arranged, connected to a top dispenser head. The dispenser device also comprises a driver that is suitable for being moved so as to cause the dispenser head to move between a storage position in which the dispenser head is substantially retracted inside the body, and a dispensing position in which the dispenser head projects beyond a top end of the body. The dispenser device further comprises a sealing diaphragm that defines a top end of the chamber and that presents a movable end that is connected to the pump, and a stationary end that is suitable for being connected to the container.

  • Patent number: 9839277
    Abstract: The device comprises: a casing (10) having an open end (10?); a composition support (12) that is movable in the casing between a retracted position and an extended position; and a control piece (16) that is suitable for being moved so as to cause the support to move. The device further comprises first and second magnetic elements (20, 22) that are secured to the support (12) and to the control piece (16) respectively. When the piece is in its first position and when the support is in its retracted position, the magnetic forces between these elements hold the support. When the control piece is moved, the magnetic forces are reduced and enable the support to move towards its extended position.
