Selon une réalisation, la coque est caractérisée par une partie médiane ouverte comprenant une partie élargie constitutive d'un réservoir double apte à recevoir le produit à appliquer et deux organes d'application faisant partie de deux applicateurs et, de chaque côté, une partie rétrécie constitutive d'un orifice de passage, de distribution et d'essoreur, une partie constitutive du logement de maintien dans lequel est placée une partie interne de manipulation de chacun des deux applicateurs, une ligne ou une zone transversale frangible, et une gouttière.According to one embodiment, the shell is characterized by an open middle portion comprising an enlarged portion constituting a double container adapted to receive the product to be applied and two application members forming part of two applicators and, on each side, a narrowed portion constitutive of a passage opening, distribution and wiper, a constituent part of the holding housing in which is placed an internal handling part of each of the two applicators, a line or a frangible transverse area, and a gutter.
Selon une réalisation, il est prévu plusieurs parties médianes ouvertes conformées en creux, reliées par leurs bordures périphériques de solidarisation, notamment par des lignes ou des zones de plus faible résistance.According to one embodiment, there are provided several open median hollow shaped parts, connected by their peripheral fastening edges, in particular by lines or areas of lower strength.
Selon une caractéristique, le conditionnement ne comporte aucune autre pièce que la coque, la pièce de fermeture et leurs moyens de solidarisation.According to one characteristic, the packaging comprises no other part than the shell, the closure piece and their securing means.
Selon deux réalisations différentes, la pièce de fermeture se présente sous la forme d'un feuil ou sous la forme d'une coque.According to two different embodiments, the closure piece is in the form of a film or in the form of a shell.
Selon une réalisation, la seconde partie de fermeture en forme de feuil est un complexe comportant un matériau barrière pour le produit à appliquer, tel que l'aluminium.In one embodiment, the second film-like closure portion is a complex comprising a barrier material for the product to be applied, such as aluminum.
Selon un deuxième aspect, l'invention vise un ensemble prévu pour une utilisation unique afin d'appliquer un produit tel qu'un produit cosmétique, d'hygiène, de soin ou de médicament, le dit ensemble comprenant un conditionnement tel qu'il vient d'être décrit, et, placés dans le conditionnement, un applicateur et un produit à appliquer, l'applicateur comprenant, d'un côté, l'organe d'application logé avec le produit à appliquer dans le réservoir, de l'autre côté, la partie interne de manipulation placée dans le logement de maintien sans possibilité de rotation relative substantielle, et, entre eux, une partie en forme de tige allongée, logée dans le conduit, suffisamment rigide pour ne pas rompre lors d'un pliage transversal du conditionnement en vue de sa rupture d'ouverture, l'ensemble comprenant deux zones de maintien en vue du pliage de rupture dans la ligne ou la zone frangible de plus faible résistance, à savoir une zone de saisie du conditionnement formée par la face externe de la gouttière, la face externe de la partie de fermeture en regard de la pièce de fermeture et les parties attenantes des bordures et une zone de saisie de l'applicateur formée par la face externe du logement de maintien, la face externe de la partie de fermeture en regard de la pièce de fermeture et les parties attenantes des bordures.According to a second aspect, the invention relates to a set intended for a single use in order to apply a product such as a cosmetic, hygiene, care or medication product, said assembly comprising a packaging such as it comes to be described, and placed in the packaging, an applicator and a product to be applied, the applicator comprising, on one side, the applicator member housed with the product to be applied in the reservoir, on the other side, the internal handling part placed in the holding housing without the possibility of substantial relative rotation, and, between them, an elongated rod-shaped part, housed in the conduit, sufficiently rigid not to break during a transverse folding of the packaging with a view to breaking the opening, the assembly comprising two retention zones with a view to folding the rupture in the line or the frangible zone of lower resistance, namely a gripping zone conditioning formed by the outer face of the gutter, the outer face of the closure portion facing the closure part and the adjacent parts of the borders and a gripping area of the applicator formed by the face outer of the holding housing, the outer face of the closure portion facing the closure part and the adjacent parts of the borders.
Selon une caractéristique de l'ensemble, pour sa mise en oeuvre on saisit l'ensemble par la zone de saisie du conditionnement et par la zone de saisie de l'applicateur, on plie transversalement le conditionnement sans rompre la tige de l'applicateur, de sorte à obtenir deux sous-ensembles pouvant être dissociés l'un de l'autre, l'un comprenant la partie de la coque et de la pièce de fermeture incluant le réservoir, l'orifice de passage, de distribution et d'essoreur et le conduit allongé de dosage et de répartition, l'autre sous-ensemble comprenant l'applicateur et la partie de la coque et de la pièce de fermeture incluant logement de maintien.According to one characteristic of the assembly, for its implementation, the assembly is grasped by the gripping zone of the packaging and by the gripping zone of the applicator, the packaging is folded transversely without breaking the rod of the applicator, so as to obtain two subassemblies that can be dissociated from one another, one comprising the part of the shell and the closure part including the reservoir, the passage opening, distribution and wiper and the elongate dosing and distribution conduit, the other subassembly including the applicator and the portion of the shell and closure member including a holding housing.
Selon une réalisation, l'organe d'application présente une certaine souplesse en direction radiale, le diamètre extérieur maximal de l'organe d'application étant légèrement plus grand que le diamètre intérieur du conduit de dosage et de répartition.According to one embodiment, the applicator member has a certain flexibility in the radial direction, the maximum outside diameter of the applicator member being slightly greater than the inside diameter of the metering and distribution duct.
Selon une réalisation, la tige de l'applicateur a une longueur axiale identique ou voisine de celle de la gouttière.In one embodiment, the rod of the applicator has an axial length identical to or close to that of the gutter.
Selon une réalisation, il est prévu une partie rétrécie de l'applicateur située entre l'organe d'application et la tige allongée, cette partie rétrécie étant logée dans l'orifice de passage, de distribution et d'essoreur.According to one embodiment, there is provided a narrowed portion of the applicator located between the applicator member and the elongated rod, this narrowed portion being housed in the passage opening, dispensing and wiper.
Selon une réalisation, la partie interne de manipulation est placée dans le logement de maintien sans possibilité de rotation relative substantielle, sans soudure entre eux.According to one embodiment, the internal handling part is placed in the holding housing without the possibility of substantial relative rotation, without welding between them.
Selon une réalisation dans le cas où la coque comprend une partie élargie constitutive d'un réservoir double, l'ensemble comporte un réservoir double et deux applicateurs.According to one embodiment in the case where the shell comprises an enlarged portion constituting a double tank, the assembly comprises a double tank and two applicators.

On se réfère à la première réalisation d'un ensemble 1 selon l'invention, objet des
Cet ensemble 1 est prévu pour une utilisation unique afin d'appliquer un produit P tel qu'un produit cosmétique, d'hygiène, de soin ou de médicament.This
Le produit P à appliquer est donc en faible quantité, telle que celle correspondant à la dose convenable pour une application ou une utilisation unique à des fins fonctionnelles ou esthétiques ou comme échantillon. Par exemple, dans une réalisation typique, il peut être prévu de l'ordre de 0.1 à plus de 10ml de produit P.The product P to be applied is therefore in a small quantity, such as that corresponding to the dose suitable for an application or a single use for functional or aesthetic purposes or as a sample. For example, in a typical embodiment, it can be provided on the order of 0.1 to more than 10 ml of product P.
L'ensemble 1 comprend un conditionnement 2 et, placés dans le conditionnement 2, un applicateur 3 et le produit P à appliquer.The
Le conditionnement 2 comprend deux et seulement deux pièces, à savoir une coque 4 et une seconde pièce de fermeture 5, outre leurs moyens de solidarisation.The
Selon une première réalisation, représentée sur les figures, la seconde partie de fermeture 5 se présente sous la forme d'un feuil souple. Un tel feuil est un complexe comportant un matériau barrière pour le produit P à appliquer, tel que l'aluminium. Cette réalisation a pour avantage de limiter la perte de produit P par migration à travers le conditionnement 2.According to a first embodiment, shown in the figures, the
Selon une seconde réalisation, non représentée, la seconde partie de fermeture 5 se présente sous la forme d'une coque identique ou analogue à la coque 4, placée en regard de la coque 4.According to a second embodiment, not shown, the
Les deux pièces 4, 5 sont solidarisées par soudage, avec entre elles l'étanchéité appropriée, par leurs deux bordures périphériques respectives 6, 7, de forme générale plane, appliquées à plat l'une sur l'autre.The two
Le conditionnement 2 comporte une cavité interne comprenant, se faisant suite et en communication, un réservoir 8, un orifice 9, un conduit 10, et un logement 11.The
L'applicateur 3 comprend, d'un côté, un organe d'application 12, de l'autre côté, une partie interne de manipulation 13, et, entre eux deux, une partie en forme de tige allongée 14.The
On décrit maintenant plus spécialement la coque 4.Now more specifically, the
La coque 4 est réalisée par thermoformage et elle présente une certaine rigidité d'ensemble, apte à protéger efficacement l'applicateur 3 et le produit P, par exemple du risque d'écrasement, de déformation intempestive et même d'ouverture ou de rupture inopinée.The
La coque 4 comprend d'abord la bordure périphérique 6 de solidarisation par soudage avec la pièce de fermeture 5 ayant elle une bordure correspondante 7. Elle comprend ensuite une partie médiane 15, ouverte, conformée en creux, située entièrement du côté du plan de la bordure 6 opposé à la face de la bordure 6 en contact avec la bordure 7. Cette partie 15 est allongée le long d'un axe XX qui définit la longueur de l'ensemble 1.The
Cette partie 15, ouverte et conformée en creux, combinée avec la partie de fermeture correspondante placée en regard de la pièce de fermeture 5 permet de réaliser le réservoir 8, l'orifice 9, le conduit 10, et le logement 11. C'est ainsi qu'il faut comprendre, comme on l'exposera par la suite que telle ou telle partie de la partie 15, ouverte et conformée en creux est « constitutive » du réservoir 8, de l'orifice 9, du conduit 10, et du logement 11.This
La partie 15, ouverte et conformée en creux comporte en premier lieu une partie élargie 8a, constitutive du réservoir 8. Cette partie 8a est élargie afin d'y loger l'organe d'application 13 et de contenir le produit P à appliquer.The
La partie 15, ouverte et conformée en creux comporte en deuxième lieu une partie rétrécie 9a, terminant la partie élargie 8a, constitutive de l'orifice 9. Dans la réalisation considérée, cette partie rétrécie 9a a une extension axiale minimale, étant pratiquement tout entière située dans un plan transversal.The
La partie 15, ouverte et conformée en creux comporte en troisième lieu une gouttière allongée 10a, suivant la partie rétrécie 9a, constitutive par sa face interne du conduit 10.The
La partie 15, ouverte et conformée en creux comporte en quatrième lieu une partie 11 a constitutive du logement de maintien 11.The
Le conditionnement 2 comporte ainsi, se faisant suite et en communication, le réservoir 8 formé par la partie élargie 8a de la coque 4 et une partie de fermeture correspondante de la pièce de fermeture 5, l'orifice 9 formé par la partie rétrécie 9a de la coque 4 et une partie de fermeture correspondante de la pièce de fermeture 5, le conduit 10 allongé formé par la gouttière allongée 10a de la coque 4 et une partie de fermeture correspondante de la pièce de fermeture 5 et, enfin, le logement de maintien 11 formé par la partie constitutive correspondante 11 a de la coque 4 et une partie de fermeture correspondante de la pièce de fermeture 5.The
La coque 4 comprend, également, une ligne ou une zone transversale frangible de plus faible résistance 16, apte à permettre l'ouverture du conditionnement 2 et la mise en oeuvre de l'ensemble 1.The
Le réservoir 8 est apte à recevoir le produit P à appliquer et l'organe d'application 12 faisant partie de l'applicateur 3.The reservoir 8 is able to receive the product P to be applied and the
L'orifice 9 permet le passage de l'organe d'application 12, la distribution du produit P à appliquer et l'essorage de l'organe d'application 12 chargé en produit P à appliquer.The orifice 9 allows the passage of the
Le conduit allongé 10 assure le dosage et la répartition du produit P à appliquer sur l'organe d'application 12. Il prévient également les projections de produit P à appliquer lors de l'extraction de l'applicateur.The elongate conduit 10 assures the dosage and the distribution of the product P to be applied to the
A cet effet, la gouttière 10a (et le conduit 10), a un diamètre intérieur légèrement plus grand que le diamètre intérieur de la partie rétrécie 9a (et l'orifice 9 de passage, de distribution et d'essorage). Le diamètre intérieur de la gouttière 10a (et du conduit 10) est choisi en outre pour permettre le coulissement axial d'extraction de l'applicateur 3, avec frottement doux de l'organe d'application 12 sur la face interne de la gouttière 10a (et du conduit 10).For this purpose, the gutter 10a (and the conduit 10), has an inner diameter slightly larger than the inner diameter of the narrowed portion 9a (and the orifice 9 for passage, distribution and spin). The inside diameter of the trough 10a (and of the duct 10) is furthermore chosen so as to allow the extraction axial sliding of the
En outre, l'organe d'application 12 présente une certaine souplesse en direction radiale, et son diamètre extérieur maximal est légèrement plus grand que le diamètre intérieur de la gouttière 10a (et du conduit 10 de dosage et de répartition). Par exemple, dans une réalisation typique, l'organe d'application 12 est une brosse à polis déformables, de forme générale cylindrique ou tronconique ou pseudo cylindrique ou pseudo tronconique ou en forme de tonneau ou de pseudo tonneau ou toute autre forme adaptée à la fonction. L'organe d'application 12 peut se présenter également sous la forme d'un tampon.In addition, the
Le logement de maintien 11 permet d'y placer la partie interne de manipulation 13 de l'applicateur 3, sans possibilité de rotation relative substantielle et sans soudure entre eux. Le maintien, qui n'est pas obligatoirement une solidarisation rigide et ferme, résulte des formes complémentaires - et asymétriques - de la partie interne de manipulation 13 et du logement de maintien 11. En l'espèce, ces formes sont plates ou pseudo-plates afin de faciliter la saisie.The holding housing 11 allows to place the
La gouttière 10a est par ailleurs constitutive par sa face externe d'une zone de saisie 19 du conditionnement 2, en vue de son ouverture par l'utilisateur, comme on le verra. Cette zone de saisie 19 est formée, outre par cette face externe de la gouttière 10a, par une face externe de la partie de fermeture en regard de la pièce de fermeture 5 et les parties des bordures attenantes 6, 7.The gutter 10a is also constitutive by its outer face of a gripping
Dans la réalisation représentée, la gouttière 10a (et le conduit 10) et la partie élargie 8a (et le réservoir 8) ont des longueurs axiales identiques ou voisines. Dans une réalisation, cette longueur axiale peut être de l'ordre de 2 centimètres. En outre, cette longueur axiale est de l'ordre de celle de permettant l'application d'un doigt ou le pincement entre deux doigts pour le maintien du conditionnement 2 lors de son ouverture. Par ailleurs, la tige 14 de l'applicateur 3 a une longueur axiale elle-aussi identique ou voisine de celle de la gouttière 10a (et du conduit 10).In the embodiment shown, the trough 10a (and the duct 10) and the widened part 8a (and the tank 8) have identical or similar axial lengths. In one embodiment, this axial length may be of the order of 2 centimeters. In addition, this axial length is of the order of allowing the application of a finger or pinching between two fingers for maintaining the
La ligne ou la zone transversale frangible 16 est située à l'écart de la partie rétrécie 9a (et de l'orifice 9). Elle est située entre la gouttière 10a (et le conduit 10) et la partie 11a constitutive du logement de maintien (et le logement de maintien 11).The frangible transverse line or
Comme le montrent la réalisation objet des
Cette partie rétrécie 18 est logée dans l'orifice de passage, de distribution et d'essoreur 9.This narrowed
Cette disposition constructive permet d'avoir un orifice 9 de plus petit diamètre que la tige 14, ce qui assure un essorage plus efficace de l'organe d'application 12 chargé en produit P à appliquer. Dans ce contexte, la présence du conduit 10 est d'autant plus justifiée, celui-ci permettant de prévenir les projections de produit P à appliquer en sortie d'essoreur.This constructive arrangement makes it possible to have an orifice 9 of smaller diameter than the
La tige 14 de l'applicateur 3 est suffisamment rigide pour ne pas rompre lors d'un pliage transversal du conditionnement 2 en vue de sa rupture.The
L'ensemble 1 comprend deux zones de maintien en vue d'un tel pliage de rupture dans la ligne ou la zone frangible de plus faible résistance 16.The
Une zone de saisie 19 du conditionnement 2 est formée par la face externe de la gouttière 10a, la face externe de la partie de fermeture en regard de la pièce de fermeture 5 et les parties attenantes des bordures 6, 7.A gripping
Une zone de saisie 20 de l'applicateur 3 est formée par la face externe du logement de maintien 11, la face externe de la partie de fermeture en regard de la pièce de fermeture 5 les parties attenantes des bordures 6, 7. Comme le montrent les figures, cette zone de maintien 20 est plate mais suffisamment étendue, l'asymétrie qui en résulté faisant également moyen d'anti rotation.A gripping
Selon une caractéristique de l'ensemble 1 relative à sa mise en oeuvre, on saisit tout d'abord avec les doigts, l'ensemble 1 par la zone de saisie 19 du conditionnement 2 et la zone de saisie 20 de l'applicateur 3.According to a feature of the
Puis, on plie le conditionnement 2, transversalement, sans rompre la tige 14 de l'applicateur 3. On obtient alors deux sous-ensembles pouvant être dissociés l'un de l'autre.Then, the
Le premier des deux sous-ensembles comprend la partie de la coque 4 et de la pièce de fermeture 5 incluant le réservoir 8, l'orifice 9 de passage, de distribution et d'essoreur et le conduit 10 allongé de dosage et de répartition.The first of the two subassemblies comprises the portion of the
Le second des deux sous-ensembles comprend l'applicateur 3 et la partie de la coque 4 et de la pièce de fermeture 5 incluant logement de maintien 11.The second of the two subassemblies comprises the
Les
Dans ce cas, la coque 4 comporte une partie 15, ouverte et conformée en creux ayant une partie élargie 8a constitutive d'un réservoir 8 double apte à recevoir le produit P à appliquer et deux organes d'application 12 faisant partie de deux applicateurs 3.In this case, the
De chaque côté de ce réservoir 8 double, on trouve une partie rétrécie 9a constitutive d'un orifice 9 de passage, de distribution et d'essoreur, une partie 11a constitutive du logement de maintien 11 dans lequel est placée une partie interne de manipulation 13 de chacun des deux applicateurs 3, une ligne ou une zone transversale frangible 16, et une gouttière 10a.On each side of this double tank 8, there is a narrowed portion 9a constituting an orifice 9 for passage, distribution and wiper, a portion 11a constituting the holding housing 11 in which is placed an
Selon une autre réalisation, il est prévu plusieurs parties 15 ouvertes et conformées en creux, reliées par leurs bordures périphériques de solidarisation 6, 7, de manière à constituer une plaquette de plusieurs ensembles d'application.According to another embodiment, there are provided several open and recessed portions, connected by their
