Abstract
Disclosed is a pair of capsules assembled together and respectively including two different phases to be mixed in order to obtain a personalized cosmetic product, including: two pouches respectively containing the two different phases and respectively included in the two capsules and interconnected by a communication channel including at least one portion of narrow cross-section relative to the two pouches, this portion of narrow cross-section of the communication channel including two right-angle bends.
Claims25
A pair of capsules assembled together, the pair of capsules comprising:
- two pouches respectively containing two different phases respectively included in a respective capsule of the pair of capsules, the two different phases to be mixed in order to obtain a personalized cosmetic product, the two pouches being interconnected by a communication channel comprising at least one portion of narrow cross-section relative to the two pouches, the at least one portion of narrow cross-section of the communication channel comprising two right-angle bends, a first of the two right-angle bends being formed by a segment of the communication channel and a male connector fitted into a female connector, a second of the two right-angle bends being formed by the male connector fitted into the female connector and another segment of the communication channel,
- wherein the male connector and the female connector are respectively part of the two capsules and fit one inside the other, and
- wherein one of said bends is disposed at an inner end of the male connector which is opposite an outer end of the male connector configured to fit first into an outer end of the female connector, and the other of said bends is disposed at an inner end of the female connector which is opposite the outer end of the female connector configured to fit first into the outer end of the male connector.
A pair of capsules assembled together, the pair of capsules comprising:
- two pouches respectively containing two different phases respectively included in a respective capsule of the pair of capsules, the two different phases to be mixed to obtain a personalized cosmetic product, the two pouches being interconnected by a communication channel comprising at least one portion of narrow cross-section relative to the two pouches, the at least one portion of narrow cross-section of the communication channel comprising at least two portions parallel to each other and a connection between the at least two portions, at least one portion of the at least two portions comprising two right-angle bends, a first of the two right-angle bends being formed by a segment of the communication channel and a male connector fitted into a female connector, a second of the two right-angle bends being formed by the male connector fitted into the female connector and another segment of the communication channel,
- wherein the male connector and the female connector are respectively part of the two capsules and fit one inside the other, and
- wherein one of said bends is disposed at an inner end of the male connector which is opposite an outer end of the male connector configured to fit first into an outer end of the female connector, and the other of said bends is disposed at an inner end of the female connector which is opposite the outer end of the female connector configured to fit first into the outer end of the male connector.
A capsule comprising:
- a pouch containing a phase of two phases that when mixed form a personalized cosmetic product, the phase being included in the capsule;
- and
- a communication channel comprising at least one portion of narrow cross-section relative to the pouch, the communication channel being configured to connect the capsule to another capsule having a pouch containing the other of the two phases of said mixture, a part of the at least one portion of narrow cross-section of the communication channel comprising a right-angle bend formed by a segment of the communication channel and a male connector fitted into a female connector, the portion of narrow cross-section of the communication channel comprises either a male connector part or a female connector part which is part of one of the two capsules and which fits into either a female connector part or a male connector part which is part of the other one of the two capsules,
- wherein the right-angle bend is disposed at an inner end of the male connector which is opposite an outer end of the male connector configured to fit first into an outer end of the female connector, or the right-angle bend is disposed at an inner end of the female connector which is opposite the outer end of the female connector configured to fit first into the outer end of the male connector.
