Description

La présente invention concerne un distributeur élastiquement compressible d'un produit fluide, en particulier un produit fluide cosmétique tel qu'une crème et notamment un baume à lèvres.The present invention relates to an elastically compressible dispenser of a fluid product, in particular a cosmetic fluid product such as a cream and in particular a lip balm.

Les distributeurs du type compressible sont typiquement ceux aptes à délivrer un produit fluide sous l'action d'une pression manuelle opérée sur leurs parois.Compressible type dispensers are typically those capable of delivering a fluid product under the action of manual pressure applied to their walls.

On connaît du document US 2019038001 A1 un distributeur compressible de produit fluide. Ce distributeur comprend un corps élastiquement compressible, un organe de distribution du produit liquide présentant un orifice de sortie du fluide, et un capuchon se fixant sur le corps permettant de recouvrir et protéger l'organe de distribution. Le distributeur comprend une poche souple qui est disposée à l'intérieur du corps et qui contient le produit fluide. L'organe de distribution se présente sous la forme d'un tube plongeur dont une extrémité s'étend vers le fond de la poche souple et son autre extrémité comporte une tétine pourvue d'une fente aménageant l'orifice de sortie.We know about the document US 2019038001 A1 a compressible fluid product dispenser. This dispenser comprises an elastically compressible body, a liquid product dispensing member having a fluid outlet orifice, and a cap fixed to the body for covering and protecting the dispensing member. The dispenser comprises a flexible bag which is arranged inside the body and which contains the fluid product. The dispensing member is in the form of a dip tube, one end of which extends towards the bottom of the flexible bag and its other end comprises a nipple provided with a slot forming the outlet orifice.

Ce distributeur a toutefois pour inconvénient qu'il n'est pas conçu pour la distribution d'un produit cosmétique sur les lèvres.However, this dispenser has the disadvantage that it is not designed for dispensing cosmetic products onto the lips.

On connaît également du document JP 2012213469 A un applicateur compact pour les lèvres. L'applicateur de forme large et plate, en étant pris en sandwich entre les deux lèvres, permet d'appliquer une formule cosmétique simultanément sur les deux lèvres. Un orifice de sortie de la formule est présent sur chaque face de l'applicateur.We also know of the document JP 2012213469 A a compact lip applicator. The wide and flat applicator, by being sandwiched between the two lips, allows a cosmetic formula to be applied simultaneously to both lips. A formula outlet orifice is present on each side of the applicator.

Cet applicateur est toutefois peu ergonomique et l'application de la formule cométique sur les lèvres est peu aisée.However, this applicator is not very ergonomic and applying the cosmetic formula to the lips is not easy.

La présente invention se propose de remédier à ces inconvénients.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks.

L'invention a ainsi pour objet un distributeur compressible de produit fluide, d'axe longitudinal et du type comprenant un corps élastiquement compressible destiné à accueillir le produit fluide, un applicateur monté sur le corps élastiquement compressible et le prolongeant longitudinalement, et un organe de distribution longitudinal dudit produit fluide destiné à acheminer le produit fluide depuis l'intérieur du corps élastiquement compressible en direction de l'applicateur, l'applicateur étant muni de deux orifices de sortie débouchant à une surface extérieure de l'applicateur et permettant la distribution du produit fluide.The invention thus relates to a compressible dispenser of fluid product, with a longitudinal axis and of the type comprising an elastically compressible body intended to receive the fluid product, an applicator mounted on the elastically compressible body and extending it longitudinally, and a longitudinal dispensing member for said fluid product intended to convey the fluid product from the inside of the elastically compressible body towards the applicator, the applicator being provided with two outlet orifices opening onto an external surface of the applicator and allowing the dispensing of the fluid product.

Conformément à l'invention, chaque orifice de sortie présente, au niveau de la surface extérieure de l'applicateur, une forme allongée selon un axe, les axes des deux orifices de sortie appartenant à un même plan parallèle à l'axe longitudinal, de préférence un plan passant par l'axe longitudinal.According to the invention, each outlet orifice has, at the level of the external surface of the applicator, an elongated shape along an axis, the axes of the two outlet orifices belonging to the same plane parallel to the longitudinal axis, preferably a plane passing through the longitudinal axis.

Alternativement, ou en combinaison, le distributeur est configuré pour que, au niveau de chaque orifice, le trajet du produit fluide débouche à la surface extérieure de l'applicateur selon une direction longitudinale.Alternatively, or in combination, the dispenser is configured so that, at each orifice, the path of the fluid product opens onto the exterior surface of the applicator in a longitudinal direction.

Ainsi, grâce à la structure spécifique du distributeur, il est possible d'appliquer le produit fluide sur les deux lèvres en même temps, en un geste latéral simple et efficace.Thus, thanks to the specific structure of the dispenser, it is possible to apply the fluid product to both lips at the same time, in a simple and effective lateral gesture.

Les axes des deux orifices de sortie peuvent être non parallèles, et peuvent en outre être symétriques par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du distributeur. En particulier, l'applicateur peut être muni de deux uniques axes de sortie débouchant à une surface extérieure de l'applicateur et permettant la distribution du produit fluide, les axes des deux orifices de sortie étant non parallèles et appartenant à un même plan parallèle à l'axe longitudinal.The axes of the two outlet orifices may be non-parallel, and may further be symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis of the dispenser. In particular, the applicator may be provided with two single outlet axes opening onto an external surface of the applicator and allowing the fluid product to be dispensed, the axes of the two outlet orifices being non-parallel and belonging to the same plane parallel to the longitudinal axis.

L'angle entre les axes des deux orifices de sortie, dans ledit même plan parallèle à l'axe longitudinal, et vu depuis l'intérieur du distributeur, peut être compris entre 93° et 170°, et notamment entre 93° et 160°, entre 93° et 150°, entre 103° et 170°, entre 103° et 160°, entre 103° et 150°, entre 113° et 170°, entre 113° et 160°, ou entre 113° et 150°.The angle between the axes of the two outlet orifices, in said same plane parallel to the longitudinal axis, and seen from inside the distributor, may be between 93° and 170°, and in particular between 93° and 160°, between 93° and 150°, between 103° and 170°, between 103° and 160°, between 103° and 150°, between 113° and 170°, between 113° and 160°, or between 113° and 150°.

Le distributeur peut présenter transversalement une grande dimension et une petite dimension, et ledit plan peut être orienté dans le sens de la grande dimension ou dans le sens de la petite dimension. Dans ce cas, l'angle entre les axes des deux orifices de sortie, dans ledit même plan parallèle à l'axe longitudinal, et vu depuis l'intérieur du distributeur, peut être compris entre 150° et 170°, de préférence entre 155° et 165°, et encore de préférence être égal à 160° (par exemple le mode de réalisation de la figure 7).The distributor may have transversely a large dimension and a small dimension, and said plane may be oriented in the direction of the large dimension or in the direction of the small dimension. In this case, the angle between the axes of the two outlet orifices, in said same plane parallel to the longitudinal axis, and seen from the inside of the distributor, may be between 150° and 170°, preferably between 155° and 165°, and more preferably be equal to 160° (for example the embodiment of the figure 7 ).

Le distributeur peut en particulier être en forme d'ellipsoïde.The distributor may in particular be ellipsoidal in shape.

Le distributeur peut comprendre une poche souple disposée à l'intérieur du corps élastiquement compressible et qui comprend le produit fluide à distribuer. L'utilisation d'une poche souple couplée à un système de clapets empêche l'air de sortir du corps élastiquement compressible et permet ainsi un meilleur taux de restitution du produit fluide, en faisant monter la pression pour appuyer sur la poche. En outre, l'utilisation d'une poche souple couplée à un système de clapets est plus hygiénique, avec d'une part un applicateur plus facile à nettoyer et d'autre part un système sans air évitant toute contamination du produit fluide dans le corps élastiquement compressible. On peut en outre envisager la limitation voire la suppression d'agents conservateurs dans le produit si la poche est remplie dans des conditions de stérilité.The dispenser may comprise a flexible pouch disposed within the elastically compressible body and which comprises the fluid product to be dispensed. The use of a flexible pouch coupled with a valve system prevents air from escaping from the elastically compressible body and thus allows a better rate of restitution of the fluid product, by increasing the pressure to press on the pouch. In addition, the use of a flexible pouch coupled with a valve system is more hygienic, with on the one hand an applicator that is easier to clean and on the other hand an airless system. avoiding any contamination of the fluid product in the elastically compressible body. It is also possible to consider limiting or even eliminating preservatives in the product if the bag is filled under sterile conditions.

Le distributeur peut comprendre successivement entre l'organe de distribution et l'applicateur un raccord et un répartiteur.The distributor may successively comprise between the dispensing member and the applicator a connector and a distributor.

Le raccord peut être configuré pour diriger le produit fluide depuis le corps élastiquement compressible (qu'il soit muni ou non d'une poche souple) vers le répartiteur, et le raccord peut comprendre un orifice permettant d'acheminer de l'air vers l'intérieur du corps élastiquement compressible, ainsi qu'une rondelle faisant office de clapet prévue sur ledit orifice de manière à fermer ledit orifice lorsqu'un utilisateur exerce une pression manuelle sur le corps élastiquement compressible.The connector may be configured to direct the fluid product from the elastically compressible body (whether or not provided with a flexible bag) to the distributor, and the connector may include an orifice for directing air into the interior of the elastically compressible body, as well as a washer acting as a valve provided on said orifice so as to close said orifice when a user exerts manual pressure on the elastically compressible body.

Le répartiteur peut être configuré pour acheminer vers les deux orifices de sortie le produit issu de l'organe de distribution et ayant traversé le premier raccord, le répartiteur comprenant deux tubes longitudinaux qui débouchent chacun sur un orifice de sortie.The distributor can be configured to route the product from the distribution member and having passed through the first connector to the two outlet ports, the distributor comprising two longitudinal tubes which each open onto an outlet port.

Chaque tube longitudinal est avantageusement recouvert d'un clapet anti-retour, empêchant ainsi l'air de rentrer dans le distributeur.Each longitudinal tube is advantageously covered with a non-return valve, thus preventing air from entering the distributor.

L'applicateur peut être de forme convexe et le profil des orifices de sortie à la surface extérieure de l'applicateur peut être également convexe.The applicator may be convex in shape and the profile of the outlet ports on the outer surface of the applicator may also be convex.

Le distributeur peut être globalement convexe et le corps élastiquement compressible peut comprendre un méplat.The distributor may be generally convex and the elastically compressible body may include a flat.

Une partie de l'applicateur comprenant un premier orifice de sortie peut être convexe, tandis qu'une partie de l'applicateur comprenant un deuxième orifice de sortie peut être concave. Dans ce cas, l'angle entre les axes des deux orifices de sortie, dans ledit même plan parallèle à l'axe longitudinal, et vu depuis l'intérieur du distributeur, peut être compris entre 107° et 134°, et notamment entre 117° et 124°. Il peut en particulier être comprise entre 114° et 134°, de préférence entre 119° et 129°, et encore de préférence être égal à 124° (par exemple le mode de réalisation de la figure 16), ou il peut être compris entre 107° et 127°, de préférence entre 112° et 122°, et encore de préférence être égal à 117° (par exemple le mode de réalisation de la figure 18).A portion of the applicator comprising a first outlet orifice may be convex, while a portion of the applicator comprising a second outlet orifice may be concave. In this case, the angle between the axes of the two outlet orifices, in said same plane parallel to the longitudinal axis, and seen from the inside of the dispenser, may be between 107° and 134°, and in particular between 117° and 124°. It may in particular be between 114° and 134°, preferably between 119° and 129°, and more preferably be equal to 124° (for example the embodiment of the figure 16 ), or it may be between 107° and 127°, preferably between 112° and 122°, and more preferably be equal to 117° (for example the embodiment of the figure 18 ).

L'applicateur peut avoir une forme convexe et les orifices de sortie peuvent être situés chacun à l'intérieur d'un méplat de l'applicateur. Dans ce cas, l'angle entre les axes des deux orifices de sortie, dans ledit même plan parallèle à l'axe longitudinal, et vu depuis l'intérieur du distributeur, peut être compris entre 93° et 113°, de préférence entre 98° et 108°, et encore de préférence être égal à 103°.The applicator may have a convex shape and the outlet orifices may each be located inside a flat of the applicator. In this case, the angle between the axes of the two outlet orifices, in said same plane parallel to the longitudinal axis, and seen from the inside of the dispenser, may be between 93° and 113°, preferably between 98° and 108°, and more preferably be equal to 103°.

Chaque orifice de sortie peut être entouré d'un marquage de dosage du produit fluide, par exemple un marquage par sérigraphie, une rainure ou une nervure.Each outlet port can be surrounded by a fluid product dosage marking, for example a screen printing marking, a groove or a rib.

Tel qu'illustré aux figures 1 à 3, un distributeur compressible 1 de produit fluide selon l'invention, du type produit cosmétique fluide tel qu'une crème, en particulier un baume à lèvres, est d'axe longitudinal X et comprend un corps élastiquement compressible 2 destiné à accueillir le produit fluide, un applicateur 3 monté sur le corps élastiquement compressible 2 et le prolongeant longitudinalement, ainsi qu'un organe de distribution 4 du produit fluide destiné à acheminer le produit fluide depuis l'intérieur du corps 2 et en direction de l'applicateur 3. Le distributeur 1 peut également comprendre un capot, non représenté. Le capot protège l'applicateur 3 lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé.As illustrated in Figures 1 to 3 , a compressible dispenser 1 of fluid product according to the invention, of the fluid cosmetic product type such as a cream, in particular a lip balm, has a longitudinal axis X and comprises an elastically compressible body 2 intended to receive the fluid product, an applicator 3 mounted on the elastically compressible body 2 and extending it longitudinally, as well as a dispensing member 4 of the fluid product intended to convey the fluid product from the inside of the body 2 and towards the applicator 3. The dispenser 1 may also comprise a cover, not shown. The cover protects the applicator 3 when it is not in use.

Le corps élastiquement compressible 2, l'applicateur 3 et l'organe de distribution 4 présentent avantageusement chacun une symétrie de révolution autour de l'axe longitudinal X.The elastically compressible body 2, the applicator 3 and the dispensing member 4 each advantageously have a symmetry of revolution around the longitudinal axis X.

Le corps élastiquement compressible 2 est destiné à être déformé par pression manuelle. Il est réalisé en un matériau élastiquement déformable et ses parois peuvent être comprimées tout en étant suffisamment élastiques pour reprendre leur forme initiale quand la pression cesse. A cet effet, le corps élastiquement compressible 2 peut être réalise en matériau caoutchouc, élastomère ou thermoplastique. Il présente un orifice supérieur 2a.The elastically compressible body 2 is intended to be deformed by manual pressure. It is made of an elastically deformable material and its walls can be compressed while being sufficiently elastic to return to their original shape when the pressure is removed. For this purpose, the elastically compressible body 2 can be made of rubber, elastomer or thermoplastic material. It has an upper orifice 2a.

L'organe de distribution 4, d'orientation longitudinale, comprend une partie inférieure comprenant une pluralité de pattes longitudinales 4a, la partie inférieure étant disposée à l'intérieur du corps 2. L'organe de distribution 4 comprend également une partie supérieure cylindrique 4b qui est entourée d'un rebord annulaire 4c formant une collerette et destiné à prendre appui sur une bordure annulaire supérieure 2b du corps élastiquement compressible 2 délimitant l'orifice supérieur 2a. La collerette 4c est avantageusement munie d'orifices 4d (figure 8) permettant une entrée d'air à l'intérieur du corps 2.The dispensing member 4, of longitudinal orientation, comprises a lower part comprising a plurality of longitudinal legs 4a, the lower part being arranged inside the body 2. The dispensing member 4 also comprises a cylindrical upper part 4b which is surrounded by an annular rim 4c forming a collar and intended to bear on an upper annular edge 2b of the elastically compressible body 2 delimiting the upper orifice 2a. The collar 4c is advantageously provided with orifices 4d ( figure 8 ) allowing air to enter the body 2.

L'applicateur 3 est la partie du distributeur 1 permettant l'application du produit cosmétique fluide, en particulier sur des lèvres d'un utilisateur. Il a avantageusement une forme adaptée aux lèvres qui peut être dans un cas convexe et symétrique ou asymétrique dans le but de délivrer plus de formule sur la lèvre inférieure qui est plus charnue. L'applicateur 3 est monté sur la bordure supérieure 2b du corps 2, par exemple par vissage autour de ladite bordure supérieure 2b. L'applicateur 3 comprend, approximativement à mi-chemin entre son extrémité inférieure et son extrémité supérieure, un orifice mené dans une paroi transversale 3a de l'applicateur 3. L'orifice accueille et guide longitudinalement l'extrémité supérieure de la partie cylindrique 4b de l'organe de distribution.The applicator 3 is the part of the dispenser 1 allowing the application of the fluid cosmetic product, in particular on the lips of a user. It advantageously has a shape adapted to the lips which can be in a case convex and symmetrical or asymmetrical in order to deliver more formula on the lower lip which is more fleshy. The applicator 3 is mounted on the upper edge 2b of the body 2, for example by screwing around said upper edge 2b. The applicator 3 comprises, approximately halfway between its lower end and its upper end, an orifice made in a transverse wall 3a of the applicator 3. The orifice receives and longitudinally guides the upper end of the cylindrical part 4b of the dispensing member.

L'applicateur 3 est muni dans sa partie supérieure de deux orifices de sortie 3c, 3d. Chaque orifice de sortie 3c, 3d se présente avantageusement sous la forme d'une fente, c'est-à-dire d'une ouverture étroite et allongée. Les axes A et A' des orifices 3c et 3d respectivement à la surface extérieure S de l'applicateur 3 sont non parallèles et appartiennent avantageusement à un plan longitudinal B parallèle à l'axe longitudinal X du distributeur 1. De préférence, l'axe longitudinal X appartient au plan longitudinal B. Les axes A et A' peuvent être symétriques ou non par rapport à l'axe longitudinal X.The applicator 3 is provided in its upper part with two outlet orifices 3c, 3d. Each outlet orifice 3c, 3d is advantageously in the form of a slot, that is to say a narrow and elongated opening. The axes A and A' of the orifices 3c and 3d respectively on the external surface S of the applicator 3 are non-parallel and advantageously belong to a longitudinal plane B parallel to the longitudinal axis X of the dispenser 1. Preferably, the longitudinal axis X belongs to the longitudinal plane B. The axes A and A' may or may not be symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis X.

Le profil S1, S2 des orifices 3c, 3d à la surface de l'applicateur 3 peut être un profil rectiligne, contenu dans un plan, et peut être par exemple rectangulaire ou oblong. On peut également envisager que le profil S1, S2 des orifices 3c, 3d à la surface de l'applicateur 3 soit non rectiligne, par exemple courbe (et notamment concave ou convexe). Dans ce cas, l'axe de l'orifice à la surface extérieure de l'applicateur sera l'axe passant par les deux extrémités de l'orifice, dans le sens de sa longueur, situées à la surface extérieure de l'applicateur.The profile S1, S2 of the orifices 3c, 3d on the surface of the applicator 3 may be a rectilinear profile, contained in a plane, and may be for example rectangular or oblong. It may also be envisaged that the profile S1, S2 of the orifices 3c, 3d on the surface of the applicator 3 is non-rectilinear, for example curved (and in particular concave or convex). In this case, the axis of the orifice on the outer surface of the applicator will be the axis passing through the two ends of the orifice, in the direction of its length, located on the outer surface of the applicator.

Le fonctionnement du distributeur 1 est le suivant. En premier lieu, on retire le capot de protection et d'obturation de l'applicateur 3. Ensuite, on presse le corps compressible 2 de manière à délivrer le produit P au niveau des orifices 3c, 3d de l'applicateur 3. Le trajet du produit P depuis l'intérieur du corps compressible 2 jusqu'aux orifices 3c, 3d de l'applicateur 3 et en passant par l'organe de distribution 4 est illustré aux figures 1 et 2 par les flèches F. Un utilisateur 5 pose alors ses lèvres sur l'applicateur 3 (figure 1). Le distributeur 1 est utilisé horizontalement (l'axe longitudinal X du distributeur 1 est disposé par l'utilisateur 5 sensiblement horizontalement), de manière à ce que les orifices 3c, 3d de sortie du produit P soient alignés verticalement, l'un au-dessus de l'autre. Les lèvres de l'utilisateur 5 peuvent ainsi s'apposer naturellement sur l'applicateur 3, une lèvre étant placée en vis-à-vis d'une fente 3c, 3d. La lèvre inférieure peut être en contact avec la fente 3c, tandis que la lèvre supérieure peut être en contact avec la fente 3d. Grâce aux deux orifices 3c, 3d qui permettent une double distribution, l'utilisateur 5 va pouvoir étaler le produit simultanément sur sa lèvre inférieure et sur sa lèvre supérieure, en un geste latéral d'un bord à l'autre.The operation of the dispenser 1 is as follows. First, the protective and sealing cover of the applicator 3 is removed. Then, the compressible body 2 is pressed so as to deliver the product P at the orifices 3c, 3d of the applicator 3. The path of the product P from the inside of the compressible body 2 to the orifices 3c, 3d of the applicator 3 and passing through the dispensing member 4 is illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 by the arrows F. A user 5 then places his lips on the applicator 3 ( figure 1 ). The dispenser 1 is used horizontally (the longitudinal axis X of the dispenser 1 is arranged by the user 5 substantially horizontally), so that the outlet orifices 3c, 3d of the product P are aligned vertically, one above the other. The lips of the user 5 can thus be placed naturally on the applicator 3, one lip being placed opposite a slot 3c, 3d. The lower lip can be in contact with the slot 3c, while the upper lip can be in contact with the slot 3d. Thanks to the two orifices 3c, 3d which allow a double distribution, the user 5 will be able to spread the product simultaneously on his lower lip and on his upper lip, in a lateral gesture from one edge to the other.

Le produit P est poussé dans l'applicateur 3 par simple pression sur le corps compressible 2. Le dosage de la quantité de produit peut se faire au libre choix de l'utilisateur 5 ou via des témoins de dosage placés sur l'applicateur 3.The product P is pushed into the applicator 3 by simple pressure on the compressible body 2. The dosage of the quantity of product can be done at the user's discretion 5 or via dosage indicators placed on the applicator 3.

Dans le mode de réalisation illustré aux figures 4 à 8, le distributeur 1 comprend une poche souple 9 qui est disposée à l'intérieur du corps élastiquement compressible 2 et qui contient le produit fluide P à distribuer. Toutefois, dans l'ensemble des modes de réalisation décrits dans la présente demande, le distributeur peut ou non comprendre une poche souple.In the embodiment illustrated in Figures 4 to 8 , the dispenser 1 comprises a flexible pouch 9 which is arranged inside the elastically compressible body 2 and which contains the fluid product P to be dispensed. However, in all of the embodiments described in the present application, the dispenser may or may not comprise a flexible pouch.

La poche souple 9 peut être fixée à une encolure de l'organe de distribution 4, par exemple par soudure.The flexible pocket 9 can be fixed to a neck of the dispensing member 4, for example by welding.

L'espace E entre le corps élastiquement compressible 2 et la poche souple 9 se remplit d'air au fur et à mesure que la poche 9 se vide du produit qu'elle contient. Les orifices 4d présents sur la collerette 4c de l'organe de distribution 4 permettent une entrée d'air dans l'espace E compris entre le corps élastiquement compressible 2 et la poche souple 9.The space E between the elastically compressible body 2 and the flexible pouch 9 fills with air as the pouch 9 empties of the product it contains. The orifices 4d present on the collar 4c of the dispensing member 4 allow air to enter the space E between the elastically compressible body 2 and the flexible pouch 9.

Le distributeur 1 peut comprendre, entre l'organe de distribution 4 et l'applicateur 3, un raccord 6 et un répartiteur 7. Le raccord 6 permet de diriger le produit P depuis le corps 2 vers le répartiteur 7.The distributor 1 may comprise, between the dispensing member 4 and the applicator 3, a connector 6 and a distributor 7. The connector 6 makes it possible to direct the product P from the body 2 to the distributor 7.

Le raccord 6 recouvre l'orifice supérieur 2a du corps compressible 2 et la partie supérieure cylindrique 4b de l'organe de distribution 4. La collerette 4c de l'organe de distribution 4 repose sur la bordure annulaire supérieure 2b du corps 2 qui entoure et délimite l'orifice 2a du corps 2. La collerette 4c est bordée par une nervure annulaire longitudinale 2c du corps 2.The connector 6 covers the upper orifice 2a of the compressible body 2 and the cylindrical upper part 4b of the distribution member 4. The collar 4c of the distribution member 4 rests on the upper annular edge 2b of the body 2 which surrounds and delimits the orifice 2a of the body 2. The collar 4c is bordered by a longitudinal annular rib 2c of the body 2.

Le raccord 6 comprend une partie inférieure cylindrique et une partie supérieure sensiblement tronconique. Il comprend deux parois annulaire extérieures 6a qui viennent se positionner autour de la nervure 2c du corps 2, ainsi que deux parois annulaires intérieures 6b délimitant un espace annulaire dans lequel vient s'insérer l'extrémité supérieure de la partie cylindrique 4b de l'organe de distribution 4.The connector 6 comprises a cylindrical lower part and a substantially truncated upper part. It comprises two outer annular walls 6a which are positioned around the rib 2c of the body 2, as well as two inner annular walls 6b delimiting an annular space in which the upper end of the cylindrical part 4b of the distribution member 4 is inserted.

Le raccord 6 comprend en outre un orifice latéral 6c permettant d'acheminer l'air vers l'intérieur du corps 2 en passant par les orifices 4d de l'organe de distribution. En regard de l'orifice 6c se trouve une rondelle déformable 6d apte à jouer le rôle d'un clapet et ainsi à fermer l'orifice 6c lorsque l'utilisateur exerce une pression manuelle sur le corps 2.The connector 6 further comprises a lateral orifice 6c for conveying air towards the inside of the body 2 via the orifices 4d of the distribution member. Opposite the orifice 6c is a deformable washer 6d capable of acting as a valve and thus closing the orifice 6c when the user exerts manual pressure on the body 2.

Le répartiteur 7 est destiné à acheminer le produit P issu de l'organe de distribution 4 et ayant traversé le premier raccord 6 vers les deux orifices de sortie 3c, 3d. Le répartiteur 7 comprend une base cylindrique 7a en appui sur la bordure annulaire supérieure 6e du raccord 6. La base cylindrique 7a est prolongée par deux tubes longitudinaux 7b qui débouchent chacun sur un orifice de sortie 3c, 3d. Chacun des deux tubes longitudinaux 7b est avantageusement recouvert d'un clapet anti-retour 8. Les clapets anti-retour 8 peuvent être des clapets anti-retour de type à bec de canard. Les clapets anti-retour à bec de canard permettent au flux de s'écouler à travers un tube souple dont l'extrémité a une forme aplatie naturelle. Cette forme aplatie ressemble à un bec de canard, d'où le nom du clapet. Le flux ouvre l'extrémité aplatie du bec de canard, ce qui permet au fluide de passer. Lorsque la pression est supprimée du côté de l'entrée, l'extrémité du bec de canard revient à son état aplati, coupant le flux.The distributor 7 is intended to convey the product P coming from the distribution member 4 and having passed through the first connector 6 to the two outlet orifices 3c, 3d. The distributor 7 comprises a cylindrical base 7a resting on the upper annular edge 6e of the connector 6. The cylindrical base 7a is extended by two longitudinal tubes 7b which each open onto an outlet orifice 3c, 3d. Each of the two longitudinal tubes 7b is advantageously covered by a non-return valve 8. The non-return valves 8 may be duckbill type non-return valves. Duckbill non-return valves allow the flow to flow through a flexible tube whose end has a naturally flattened shape. This flattened shape resembles a duckbill, hence the name of the valve. The flow opens the flattened end of the duckbill, allowing fluid to pass through. When pressure is removed from the inlet side, the duckbill end returns to its flattened state, cutting off the flow.

Lors de l'utilisation du distributeur 1, la pression manuelle exercée sur le corps élastiquement déformable 2 est transmise à la poche souple 9 qui contient le produit fluide P. Celui-ci s'écoule alors dans l'organe de distribution 4, puis dans le premier raccord 6 et dans le répartiteur 7 jusqu'aux clapets anti-retour 8, ce qui va provoquer l'ouverture des clapets 8 et ainsi l'éjection du produit P au travers des orifices de sortie 3c, 3d de l'applicateur 3. Aucune entrée d'air dans la poche souple 9 n'est autorisée au travers de l'extrémité des clapets 8. Cette caractéristique garantit la stabilité et la conservation de la formulation du produit fluide. La compression exercée sur le corps élastiquement déformable 2 a également pour effet de plaquer la rondelle déformable 6d contre l'orifice 6c et d'empêcher l'air de sortir de l'espace E par l'orifice 6c.When using the dispenser 1, the manual pressure exerted on the elastically deformable body 2 is transmitted to the flexible bag 9 which contains the fluid product P. The latter then flows into the dispensing member 4, then into the first connector 6 and into the distributor 7 to the non-return valves 8, which will cause the valves 8 to open and thus the ejection of the product P through the outlet orifices 3c, 3d of the applicator 3. No air is allowed to enter the flexible bag 9 through the end of the valves 8. This feature guarantees the stability and preservation of the formulation of the fluid product. The compression exerted on the elastically deformable body 2 also has the effect of pressing the deformable washer 6d against the orifice 6c and preventing air from escaping from the space E through the orifice 6c.

Lorsque la pression manuelle exercée sur les parois du corps élastiquement compressible 2 cesse, le corps 2 se détend, l'extrémité des clapets anti-retour 8 se ferme et la rondelle déformable 6d se déforme pour ne plus obstruer l'orifice 6c. De l'air pénètre dans l'espace E entre le corps élastiquement compressible 2 et la poche souple 9 par l'intermédiaire de l'orifice 6c. Le volume d'air qui pénètre alors ainsi dans l'espace E compense alors le volume de produit éjecté hors de la poche souple 9. De ce fait, le corps élastiquement compressible 2 reprend sa forme initiale.When the manual pressure exerted on the walls of the elastically compressible body 2 ceases, the body 2 relaxes, the end of the non-return valves 8 closes and the deformable washer 6d deforms so as to no longer obstruct the orifice 6c. Air enters the space E between the elastically compressible body 2 and the flexible bag 9 via the orifice 6c. The volume of air which then enters the space E thus compensates for the volume of product ejected from the flexible bag 9. As a result, the elastically compressible body 2 returns to its initial shape.

Une bride 10 vient avantageusement renforcer la stabilité et l'étanchéité du distributeur 1. La bride 10 est encliquetée ou clippée sur le corps élastiquement compressible à l'aide deux pinces 10a disposés de part et d'autre de l'axe X du répartiteur 1. Chaque pince 10a vient s'insérer dans une zone de réception 2d disposée sur la bordure annulaire supérieure 2b du corps élastiquement compressible 2. La bride 10 est globalement en forme de segment sphérique, la partie supérieure de la bride 10 venant en contact avec l'applicateur 3. La bride 10 entoure ainsi le raccord 6 et le répartiteur 7 et la partie supérieure de la bride 10 est muni d'une ouverture entourant les clapets anti-retour 8.A flange 10 advantageously reinforces the stability and sealing of the distributor 1. The flange 10 is snapped or clipped onto the elastically compressible body using two clamps 10a arranged on either side of the axis X of the distributor 1. Each clamp 10a is inserted into a receiving zone 2d arranged on the upper annular edge 2b of the elastically compressible body 2. The flange 10 is generally in the form of a spherical segment, the upper part of the flange 10 coming into contact with the applicator 3. The flange 10 thus surrounds the connector 6 and the distributor 7 and the upper part of the flange 10 is provided with an opening surrounding the non-return valves 8.

Enfin, un capot 11 de protection et d'obturation vient recouvrir l'applicateur 3.Finally, a protective and sealing cover 11 covers the applicator 3.

Dans le mode de réalisation illustré aux figures 4 à 8, le distributeur 1 est continûment convexe, c'est-à-dire que le distributeur 1 est vu arrondi depuis un référentiel extérieur. En particulier, l'applicateur 3 est de forme convexe et le profil S1, S2 des orifices de sortie 3c, 3d à la surface de l'applicateur 3 est également convexe. En particulier, le profil S1, S2 des orifices de sortie 3c, 3d à la surface de l'applicateur 3 peut être une ellipse convexe.In the embodiment illustrated in Figures 4 to 8 , the distributor 1 is continuously convex, that is to say that the distributor 1 is seen rounded from an external reference frame. In particular, the applicator 3 is convex in shape and the profile S1, S2 of the outlet orifices 3c, 3d on the surface of the applicator 3 is also convex. In particular, the profile S1, S2 of the outlet orifices 3c, 3d on the surface of the applicator 3 may be a convex ellipse.

Le distributeur 1 peut présenter transversalement une grande dimension et une petite dimension, et le plan B des axes A, A' des orifices de sortie 3c, 3d peut être orienté dans le sens de la grande dimension (figure 7) ou dans le sens de la petite dimension. Le distributeur 1 peut en particulier être en forme d'ellipsoïde.The distributor 1 may have a large dimension and a small dimension transversely, and the plane B of the axes A, A' of the outlet ports 3c, 3d may be oriented in the direction of the large dimension ( figure 7 ) or in the direction of the small dimension. The distributor 1 may in particular be in the shape of an ellipsoid.

Dans le mode de réalisation illustré aux figures 9 à 14, le corps élastiquement compressible 2 du distributeur 1 globalement convexe peut comprendre une zone plate ou méplat 2e. Le méplat 2e crée une zone d'appui pour le pouce, améliorant ainsi l'adhérence et facilitant la pression sur le contenant pour faire sortir le produit fluide. On obtient également une meilleure préhension du distributeur 1 lors de l'application du produit fluide sur les lèvres. Enfin, le méplat 2e peut faire office de socle lorsque le distributeur 1 est posé.In the embodiment illustrated in Figures 9 to 14 , the elastically compressible body 2 of the generally convex dispenser 1 may comprise a flat area or flat part 2e. The flat part 2e creates a support area for the thumb, thus improving grip and facilitating pressure on the container to release the fluid product. A better grip of the dispenser 1 is also obtained when applying the fluid product to the lips. Finally, the flat part 2e can act as a base when the dispenser 1 is placed.

Tel qu'illustré aux figures 15 à 20, l'applicateur 3 peut être mi-convexe, mi-concave, de manière à épouser parfaitement la forme des lèvres. Ainsi, une partie de l'applicateur 3 comprenant un premier orifice de sortie 3c peut être convexe, tandis qu'une partie de l'applicateur comprenant un deuxième orifice de sortie 3d peut être concave. Une surface convexe accueille ainsi la lèvre supérieure, et une surface concave plus large est adaptée à la taille de la lèvre inférieure. Les lèvres s'apposent naturellement sur l'applicateur 3 et peuvent ainsi glisser facilement au moment de l'application simultanée du produit sur les deux lèvres.As illustrated in figures 15 to 20 , the applicator 3 may be half-convex, half-concave, so as to perfectly match the shape of the lips. Thus, a portion of the applicator 3 comprising a first outlet orifice 3c may be convex, while a portion of the applicator comprising a second outlet orifice 3d may be concave. A convex surface thus accommodates the upper lip, and a wider concave surface is adapted to the size of the lower lip. The lips naturally rest on the applicator 3 and can thus slide easily when simultaneously applying the product to both lips.

Cet applicateur 3 asymétrique a également pour but de distribuer plus de crème sur la lèvre inférieure qui est plus charnue que la lèvre supérieure.This asymmetrical 3 applicator also aims to distribute more cream on the lower lip which is fuller than the upper lip.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation (figures 21 à 26), l'applicateur 3 a une forme convexe et les orifices de sortie 3c, 3d sont situés chacun à l'intérieur d'une zone plate 3e (méplat). L'applicateur 3 étant utilisé à l'horizontale, les deux méplats 3e qui forment des biseaux servent d'arrêt naturel pour les lèvres afin d'éviter que l'applicateur 3 et donc du produit fluide ne rentre dans la bouche. Les lèvres de l'utilisateur 5 vont s'apposer et s'arrêter naturellement sur les biseaux. Ces biseaux vont également guider les lèvres lors du mouvement de translation effectué pendant l'application du baume.In another embodiment ( Figures 21 to 26 ), the applicator 3 has a convex shape and the outlet orifices 3c, 3d are each located inside a flat area 3e (flat). The applicator 3 being used horizontally, the two flats 3e which form bevels serve as a natural stop for the lips in order to prevent the applicator 3 and therefore the fluid product from entering the mouth. The lips of the user 5 will naturally rest and stop on the bevels. These bevels will also guide the lips during the translational movement carried out during the application of the balm.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, les fentes 3c, 3d sont avantageusement alignées dans une direction correspondant à la petite dimension transversale du distributeur 1. L'utilisateur place ainsi la grande dimension transversale du distributeur horizontalement lors de la distribution du produit sur les lèvres. Dans les modes de réalisation précédents illustrés aux figures 4 à 21, les fentes 3c, 3d étaient avantageusement alignées dans une direction correspondant à la grande dimension transversale du distributeur 1.In this embodiment, the slots 3c, 3d are advantageously aligned in a direction corresponding to the small transverse dimension of the dispenser 1. The user thus places the large transverse dimension of the dispenser horizontally when dispensing the product on the lips. In the previous embodiments illustrated in Figures 4 to 21 , the slots 3c, 3d were advantageously aligned in a direction corresponding to the large transverse dimension of the distributor 1.

Enfin, dans un dernier mode de réalisation, illustré aux figures 27 à 33, et pouvant être combiné avec chacun des modes de réalisation précédents, un système de dosage du produit fluide pour une pression donnée est ajouté, pour améliorer l'utilisation du distributeur 1.Finally, in a last embodiment, illustrated in Figures 27 to 33 , and being able to be combined with each of the preceding embodiments, a fluid product dosing system for a given pressure is added, to improve the use of the dispenser 1.

Pour un dosage unique (figures 27 à 29), les clapets 8 peuvent eux-mêmes servir. En effet, en pressant le corps souple, le produit P va sortir et lorsqu'il va recouvrir les clapets cela signifie que le bon dosage est atteint.For a single dosage ( Figures 27 to 29 ), the valves 8 can themselves be used. Indeed, by pressing the flexible body, the product P will come out and when it covers the valves this means that the correct dosage has been reached.

Pour un double dosage (figures 30 à 33), des marquages 12 encadrant les clapets becs de canard peuvent être sérigraphiés sur l'applicateur 3. Un premier dosage pour des « lèvres sèches » est atteint lorsque les clapets sont recouverts de produit (figure 32), et un deuxième dosage pour des « lèvres très sèches » est atteint lorsque les sérigraphies 12 encadrant les clapets 8 sont recouvertes (figure 33).For a double dosage ( figures 30 to 33 ), markings 12 framing the duckbill flaps can be screen printed on the applicator 3. A first dosage for “dry lips” is reached when the flaps are covered with product ( figure 32 ), and a second dosage for “very dry lips” is reached when the screen prints 12 framing the flaps 8 are covered ( figure 33 ).
