Lors de l'utilisation, l'utilisateur insuffle de l'air sous la poudre grâce au fond perforé. Celle-ci est projetée dans l'espace intérieur et atteint au travers de la paroi perméable l'élément d'application.British device GB 403 219 discloses a device of this type, in which the product is a powder, which is contained inside the container between the permeable wall and a perforated bottom. During use, the user infuses the air under the powder thanks to the perforated bottom. This is projected into the interior space and reaches the application element through the permeable wall.
Un tel dispositif n'est utilisable qu'avec une poudre et présente une structure relativement complexe.Such a device can only be used with a powder and has a structure relatively complex.
On connaít par la demande de brevet européen EP-A-0 612 488 un dispositif dans lequel l'élément d'application est déformable et le logement présente un embout capillaire percé d'au moins un orifice, contre lequel l'élément d'application est appliqué et déformé lorsque le récipient est fermé. Lorsque le récipient est ouvert, l'élément d'application reprend sa forme initiale et crée un effet de ventouse qui aspire du produit.We know from European patent application EP-A-0 612 488 a device in which the application element is deformable and the housing has a tip capillary pierced with at least one orifice, against which the application element is applied and deformed when the container is closed. When the container is opened, the element application returns to its original shape and creates a suction cup effect which sucks in product.

Le produit remplit entièrement l'espace intérieur, à l'état compacté.We know from the European patent application EP-A-0 416 185 a lipstick applicator having an interior space containing product and means for extruding this product into a housing containing the application element. The product completely fills the interior space, in the compacted state.
On connaít par les brevets GB 1 158 412 et DE 938 658 des dispositifs
comprenant un tube malléable sans mémoire de forme, définissant un espace intérieur
dont le volume correspond à celui du produit et diminue à chaque utilisation.
Il existe un besoin pour disposer d'un nouveau dispositif de conditionnement et d'application, de structure relativement simple, permettant de charger facilement en produit un élément d'application, ce produit pouvant être une poudre, un liquide, un gel ou une crème. There is a need to have a new device for relatively simple structure and application, allowing easily load a product with an application element, this product can be a powder, liquid, gel or cream.
Le dispositif de conditionnement et d'application selon l'invention est du type comportant un récipient ayant un espace intérieur dans lequel le produit est contenu, un élément d'application, un logement pour recevoir l'élément d'application et une paroi perméable disposée entre ledit logement et l'espace intérieur contenant le produit.The packaging and application device according to the invention is of the type comprising a container having an interior space in which the product is content, an application element, a housing for receiving the application element and a permeable wall disposed between said housing and the interior space containing the product.
Ce dispositif se caractérise par le fait que l'élément d'application et le logement sont agencés de telle sorte que l'élément d'application présente, lorsqu'il est dans ledit logement, au moins une portion de surface située, sans compression axiale sensible, en regard d'une ouverture de la paroi perméable et par le fait que l'espace intérieur est à volume variable, des moyens de compression étant prévus pour faire passer sélectivement ledit volume intérieur d'un premier volume, supérieur au volume de produit, à un second volume, inférieur au premier, cette réduction de volume s'accompagnant d'une surpression, laquelle est apte à favoriser le transfert de produit à travers ladite paroi perméable vers l'élément d'application.This device is characterized by the fact that the application element and the housing are arranged so that the applicator element presents, when it is in said housing, at least a portion of surface located, without axial compression sensitive, compared to an opening of the permeable wall and by the fact that the space interior is of variable volume, compression means being provided to make selectively switching said interior volume from a first volume, greater than the volume of product, at a second volume, less than the first, this reduction in volume accompanied by an overpressure, which is capable of promoting the transfer of product to through said permeable wall towards the application element.
Avantageusement, les moyens de compression sont agencés de manière à ce que l'espace intérieur reprenne son premier volume sous l'action d'une force de rappel élastique.Advantageously, the compression means are arranged so that let the interior space resume its first volume under the action of a restoring force elastic.
La force de rappel élastique peut être obtenue grâce au fait que le récipient est à mémoire de forme, étant réalisé de préférence en matière plastique.The elastic restoring force can be obtained thanks to the fact that the container is shape memory, preferably being made of plastic.
La force de rappel élastique peut également être obtenue au moyen d'un ressort, notamment un ressort hélicoïdal.The elastic restoring force can also be obtained by means of a spring, in particular a helical spring.
Le dispositif selon l'invention présente de nombreux avantages.The device according to the invention has many advantages.
Tout d'abord, la présence d'air dans le récipient permet d'éviter le compactage de la réserve de produit lorsque l'espace intérieur occupe son second volume, à la différence du dispositif décrit dans la demande EP-A-0 416 185 par exemple.First of all, the presence of air in the container avoids the compaction of the product reserve when the interior space occupies its second volume, unlike the device described in application EP-A-0 416 185 by example.
Par ailleurs, le dispositif selon l'invention peut être de construction plus simple que celui décrit dans le brevet britannique GB 403 219 précité, car le produit peut être contenu dans l'espace intérieur du récipient sans qu'il y ait à prévoir un fond perforé permettant d'insuffler de l'air.Furthermore, the device according to the invention can be of more construction simple than that described in the aforementioned British patent GB 403,219, because the product can be contained in the interior space of the container without having to provide a bottom perforated for blowing air.
L'absence de compression axiale de la portion de surface de l'élément d'application située en regard de la paroi perméable permet au produit de pouvoir traverser facilement cette dernière, lorsque la surpression est créée.The absence of axial compression of the surface portion of the element located next to the permeable wall allows the product to be able to easily cross the latter, when the overpressure is created.
Avantageusement, le dispositif comporte des moyens de retenue sur et/ou adjacents à la paroi perméable, du côté de l'espace intérieur contenant le produit, ces moyens de retenue étant propres à favoriser, notamment par capillarité ou par attraction électrostatique, la rétention de produit dans ladite ouverture ou dans son voisinage, en vue de son transfert dans ledit logement lors de la compression d'un volume d'air présent dans l'espace intérieur, entre la paroi perméable et la réserve de produit.Advantageously, the device comprises means for retaining on and / or adjacent to the permeable wall, on the side of the interior space containing the product, these retaining means being able to favor, in particular by capillarity or by attraction electrostatic, the retention of product in said opening or in its vicinity, in view of its transfer into said housing during compression of a volume of air present in the interior space, between the permeable wall and the product reserve.
Ainsi, le dispositif peut être disposé tête en haut au moment où la surpression est créée et/ou celui où l'élément d'application est extrait de son logement, ce qui va dans le sens d'une utilisation aisée.Thus, the device can be placed head up when the overpressure is created and / or one where the application element is extracted from its housing, which goes in the direction of easy use.
De plus, il est possible d'agencer les moyens de retenue de manière à contrôler la distribution du produit en évitant notamment qu'un excès de produit n'atteigne le logement de l'élément d'application lors de l'utilisation.In addition, it is possible to arrange the retaining means so as to control the distribution of the product, in particular by avoiding excess product does not reach the housing of the application element during use.
Dans une réalisation particulière, le récipient comporte une paroi mobile permettant de générer ladite surpression.In a particular embodiment, the container has a movable wall allowing to generate said overpressure.
Cette paroi mobile peut comprendre une paroi flexible du récipient, par exemple une paroi flexible en forme de soufflet, relativement peu coûteuse à réaliser.This movable wall may include a flexible wall of the container, by example a flexible wall in the form of a bellows, relatively inexpensive to produce.
En variante, la paroi mobile peut comprendre une paroi rigide d'un piston.Alternatively, the movable wall may include a rigid wall of a piston.
Les moyens de compression permettant de créer la surpression peuvent être agencés pour concourir à la distribution d'une quantité prédéterminée de produit à chaque utilisation, en permettant à l'utilisateur d'exercer à chaque fois une surpression prédéterminée dans l'espace intérieur du récipient.The compression means for creating the overpressure can be arranged to assist in the distribution of a predetermined quantity of product to each use, allowing the user to exert an overpressure each time predetermined in the interior space of the container.
Dans une réalisation particulière, la paroi perméable présente une pluralité d'orifices traversants.In a particular embodiment, the permeable wall has a plurality through holes.
Les moyens de retenue précités peuvent comporter des cloisons entre lesquelles du produit peut être retenu.The aforementioned retaining means may include partitions between which of the product can be retained.
Les moyens de retenue peuvent comporter aussi un organe de retenue disposé en regard de la paroi perméable, cet organe de retenue présentant des ouvertures latérales permettant au produit de gagner un intervalle de rétention de produit ménagé entre l'organe de retenue et la paroi perméable.The retaining means may also include a retaining member disposed opposite the permeable wall, this retaining member having openings lateral allowing the product to gain a period of retention of spared product between the retaining member and the permeable wall.
Cet organe de retenue peut aussi constituer un déflecteur agencé pour canaliser un courant d'air et/ou de produit lorsque la surpression est créée, en vue de favoriser le transfert du produit à travers la paroi perméable.This retaining member can also constitute a deflector arranged to channel a stream of air and / or product when the overpressure is created, in order to favor the transfer of the product through the permeable wall.
Les moyens de retenue peuvent être réalisés par moulage ou en variante être constitués par une pièce rapportée, telle qu'un bloc de mousse par exemple.The retaining means can be produced by molding or alternatively be constituted by an insert, such as a block of foam for example.
On choisira la nature des moyens de retenue en fonction de celle du produit et de la quantité à distribuer.We will choose the nature of the retaining means according to that of the product and the quantity to be distributed.
Dans une réalisation particulière, l'élément d'application et le logement sont agencés de telle sorte que la surface de l'élément d'application servant à l'application du produit soit écartée de la paroi perméable, lorsque l'élément d'application est en place dans ledit logement.In a particular embodiment, the application element and the housing are arranged in such a way that the surface of the application element used for applying the product is moved away from the permeable wall, when the applicator element is in place in said accommodation.
Du produit peut ainsi s'accumuler plus facilement dans l'espace formé entre la paroi perméable et l'élément d'application.Product can thus accumulate more easily in the space formed between the permeable wall and the application element.
De manière à faciliter la création d'un tel espace, la paroi perméable peut comporter au moins une nervure du côté de l'élément d'application, contre laquelle l'élément d'application est apte à venir en appui.In order to facilitate the creation of such a space, the permeable wall can have at least one rib on the side of the application element, against which the application element is capable of coming to bear.
La paroi perméable peut également se raccorder au récipient par un décrochement formant une cuvette du côté de l'élément d'application.The permeable wall can also be connected to the container by a recess forming a bowl on the side of the application element.
En variante, l'élément d'application et le logement sont agencés de telle sorte que la surface de l'élément d'application servant à l'application du produit soit au contact de la paroi perméable, lorsque l'élément d'application est en place dans ledit logement.As a variant, the application element and the housing are arranged in such a way the surface of the application element used for applying the product is in contact of the permeable wall, when the application element is in place in said housing.
L'élément d'application peut être agencé de telle sorte que la surface de l'élément d'application située, lorsque l'élément d'application est en place dans ledit logement, en regard de la paroi perméable, puisse reculer sous l'effet de la surpression dans le récipient.The applicator element can be arranged in such a way that the surface of the application element located, when the application element is in place in said housing, opposite the permeable wall, can retreat under the effect of overpressure in the container.
Ainsi, cette surface peut se charger aisément en produit.Thus, this surface can be easily loaded with product.
Dans une réalisation particulière, le logement est délimité par une paroi latérale, de préférence pleine, contre laquelle s'applique l'élément d'application par sa périphérie.In a particular embodiment, the housing is delimited by a wall lateral, preferably full, against which the application element is applied by its periphery.
De préférence, l'élément d'application s'applique de manière étanche sur ladite paroi latérale.Preferably, the application element is applied in a sealed manner to said side wall.
L'élément d'application peut se comporter comme un piston lors de son retrait, par exemple sur une course de 4 mm, créant une dépression dans son logement.The applicator element can behave like a piston during its shrinkage, for example over a 4 mm stroke, creating a depression in its housing.
Toujours dans une réalisation particulière, le récipient est agencé de telle sorte que lorsque l'espace intérieur occupe son second volume, le niveau du produit dans le récipient n'atteigne pas la paroi perméable.Still in a particular embodiment, the container is arranged in such a way so that when the interior space occupies its second volume, the level of the product in the container does not reach the permeable wall.
On évite ainsi tout risque de débordement de produit, si celui-ci est liquide.This avoids any risk of product overflow, if it is liquid.
Dans une réalisation particulière, la paroi perméable définit le fond du logement recevant l'élément d'application, ce dernier étant introduit dans ledit logement par une ouverture située dans l'axe du récipient, à l'opposé de ladite paroi perméable.In a particular embodiment, the permeable wall defines the bottom of the housing receiving the application element, the latter being introduced into said housing by an opening located in the axis of the container, opposite said permeable wall.
Toujours dans une réalisation particulière, la paroi perméable comporte des canaux dont la section et la longueur sont choisies de manière à permettre de loger et/ou de laisser passer une quantité prédéterminée de produit.Still in a particular embodiment, the permeable wall includes channels whose cross-section and length are chosen so as to accommodate and / or to pass a predetermined quantity of product.
On peut ainsi doser la quantité de produit parvenant dans ledit logement lorsque la surpression est exercée.It is thus possible to measure the quantity of product arriving in said housing when the overpressure is exerted.
L'élément d'application peut avantageusement être solidaire d'un élément de préhension constituant également un capuchon de fermeture du récipient.The application element can advantageously be integral with an element of grip also constituting a closure cap of the container.
L'élément de préhension peut comporter des moyens d'étanchéité pour assurer une fermeture étanche du logement recevant l'élément d'application.The gripping element may include sealing means for ensure a tight closure of the housing receiving the application element.
La paroi perméable peut être réalisée par moulage avec le récipient ou un élément de celui-ci.The permeable wall can be produced by molding with the container or a element of it.

Dans une réalisation particulière, la paroi perméable est fixée de manière immobile à sa périphérie sur le récipient.In a particular embodiment, the permeable wall is fixed so motionless at its periphery on the container.
Toujours dans une réalisation particulière, l'élément d'application est absorbant, étant réalisé dans un matériau tel qu'une mousse, un feutre ou un matériau fritté.Still in a particular embodiment, the application element is absorbent, being made of a material such as foam, felt or material sintered.
Toujours dans une réalisation particulière, l'élément d'application est compressible de manière élastique. En variante, l'élément d'application peut être sensiblement non compressible.Still in a particular embodiment, the application element is elastic compressible. Alternatively, the application element can be substantially non-compressible.
L'élément d'application peut être intérieurement non poreux.The application element can be internally non-porous.
Dans une réalisation particulière, l'élément d'application est floqué ou comporte un textile à sa surface.In a particular embodiment, the application element is flocked or has a textile on its surface.
Le logement recevant l'élément d'application peut être mobile par rapport à l'espace intérieur du récipient contenant le produit.The housing receiving the application element can be movable relative to the interior space of the container containing the product.
Le dispositif peut comporter un deuxième élément d'application, un deuxième logement et une deuxième paroi perméable.The device may include a second application element, a second housing and a second permeable wall.
Le deuxième élément d'application peut être de même nature que le premier, mais de taille différente.The second application element can be of the same nature as the first, but of different size.
Le premier et le deuxième éléments d'application peuvent aussi ne pas être de même nature.The first and second application elements may also not be of the same nature.
Le récipient peut comporter un col obturé par un bouchon amovible à une extrémité située à l'opposé de l'élément d'application.The container may have a neck closed by a removable cap at a end opposite the applicator element.
Le produit peut être formé au moins en partie de particules contenant au moins un fluide, ce denier étant enfermé par exemple dans des micro-capsules.The product may be formed at least in part of particles containing at least minus a fluid, this denier being enclosed for example in microcapsules.

La paroi 93 sert à la fois de support mécanique pour le tamis 95 et favorise
l'accumulation de produit au contact de ce tamis 95 ou dans son voisinage, de sorte que
lorsque la surpression est créée dans l'espace intérieur contenant le produit, le produit
présent dans les ouvertures 94 est chassé au travers du tamis 95.The

peut s'effectuer au moyen d'un soufflet 142, situé entre les deux logements recevant les
deux éléments d'application 140 et 141.In addition, it can be seen in FIG. 11 that the reduction in volume of the container
can be carried out by means of a
La réduction du volume intérieur du récipient pourrait également s'effectuer autrement qu'au moyen d'un soufflet, comme illustré sur la figure 20.The reduction of the interior volume of the container could also be carried out other than by means of a bellows, as illustrated in Figure 20.
