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 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 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.
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:
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.
