Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging assembly and application of a fluid product, in particular with a liquid consistency or in the form powder.
  • the invention is particularly intended for packaging and to the application of cosmetic or care products such as foundations liquids, nail polish, lipsticks, creams, oils, hair treatments, etc. Applications in other fields can also be considered, for example in the field of adhesives, correctors of writing, household stain removers, polishes, etc ...
  • detaching buffers consisting of a product surmounted by a neck at the top of which is placed an applicator under form of a foam pad which is applied to a surface to be treated, by example on the skin or on a fabric.
  • the applicator pad being confined in the upper part of the neck. Loading the product with it requires turn and press its application surface several times on the support to treat in order to "pump” and load it with product before proceeding to its application, the pressure exerted on the applicator, causing the opening of a valve which, in the closed position, isolates the applicator from the product.
  • these applicators usually containing volatile formulas, dry out often quickly during the storage period causing formation a crust on the applicator.
  • the applicator pad is isolated from the product by means of a valve, which further accelerates the drying of the applicator, sometimes rendering it unusable after a long period during which it has not been used or requiring cleaning operations prior to any new use.
  • Patent application EP-A-0 872 193 in the name of the applicant, describes a set for applying a liquid product comprising a reservoir for product. It has a neck with a free edge defining an opening, means removable for sealingly sealing said opening being provided.
  • the application surface is axially movable between a first position in which the application surface emerges outside the neck through said opening, for the application of the product, and a second position in which said application surface is contained at inside the tank. Moving from the first position to the second position of the application surface is effected by an elastic push to against a sealing means, a displacement of the application surface from the second position to the first being effected by removal of said sealing means.
  • the applicator is configured in such a way that the product is distributed throughout the applicator, before reaching the application surface.
  • the applicator can thus be saturated with product before the product reaches the application surface. So when the user applies the applicator to the area to be treated, a relatively small amount significant amount of product tends to flow over the area to be treated.
  • the product is pushed towards the applicator by pressing the flexible walls of the tank. The user can permanently press the tank walls, the product can flow with a very high flow rate.
  • Patent application EP-A-1 125 517 also describes a device application in which the applicator is configured in such a way that the product is distributed throughout the applicator, before reaching the surface application. The applicator can thus be saturated with product before the product does not reach the application surface.
  • Patent application EP-A-0 155 350 describes a device for applying a perfume or deodorant that includes a container topped with an applicator made of rigid porous material.
  • the product from the container is transported by gravity to the upper portion of the applicator, turning the device over, through a cylindrical wall on which the applicator is in axial abutment.
  • the product then reaches the application surface by flowing through applicator pores, by capillary action.
  • the product cannot be kept close to the application surface and it is necessary to turn over the device, before each use, so that the product flows by gravity at across the cylindrical wall.
  • Patent application EP-A-0 875 465 describes a device for applying a shoe polish to apply a predetermined dose of shoe polish.
  • These measures includes a product reservoir on which an applicator is mounted, via a intermediate piece which has a movable part between two positions.
  • the intermediate piece delimits a chamber which, in one of the two positions communicates only with the interior of the tank and, in the other of the two positions, communicates only with the applicator.
  • the chamber can be filled with product by gravity, turning the upside down device, the moving part being held in this position by a spring.
  • the user must hold the device upside down and apply the applicator to the area to be waxed, so as to push the part mobile in the second position so that the product reaches the applicator.
  • the spring resiliently returns the moving part to its first position when the application stops.
  • Such a device can only be used upside down which is not always practical, especially when you want to apply a product on the body, for example on an area of the face.
  • the term "closed end of the member" of application constituting the application surface" an application surface such only when we return the set and no axial stress is exerted on the application surface, the product does not flow outside the assembly through said application surface. This avoids that product does not flow without being desired so that the risks of untimely soiling is limited.
  • the assembly can be configured so that it is stored upside down without any product leakage.
  • the product from the tank flows in the cavity, for example by shaking the packaging assembly and of application, then it flows into the application member, permeable to the product, to the application surface.
  • the thickness between the cavity and the surface measured along the X axis being less than the wall thickness side of the applicator member measured perpendicular to the X axis, the product reaches the application surface before reaching the rest of the surface end of the nozzle.
  • the product when the area of the applicator member located between the cavity and the application surface is saturated, the product can flow into the side wall so as to regulate the flow of product arriving at the application surface.
  • the presence of chimney also makes it possible to use a relatively thick applicator member, in other words having a relatively large axial height, while the portion of said applicator member, located above the cavity either thickness along the X axis, less than the thickness of said side wall measured perpendicular to the X axis.
  • the cavity being of variable volume, in particular in response to a pressure exerted axially on the application surface, the volume of this when pressure is applied to the application surface, in particular when applying the application surface to the area to be treated.
  • the volume of the cavity increases so that product from the tank is drawn into the cavity. We can thus fill the cavity each time the application surface is applied to the area to be treat. In addition, we can thus measure the amount of product that is applied, coming from the cavity, by playing on the pressure exerted on the surface application.
  • the cavity is configured so as to maintain by capillarity of the product from the reservoir.
  • the area of the largest cross section of the cavity can be less than that of the application surface.
  • the product being brought to the surface from the cavity the product reaches the surface in a portion of the surface of application substantially equal to the cross section of the cavity and therefore in a relatively limited area.

Another reserve of product is thus formed which makes it possible to supply the cavity.

We thus start the whole application automatically.
  • the application surface is axially movable between a first position in which said surface application emerges from the reservoir through an opening defined by an edge tank free, and a second position in which the application surface is contained inside the tank.
