Abstract
The present invention relates to a packaging and applicator device comprising a compartment for receiving a receptacle containing a substance; a applicator capable of being releasably fixed to the device; a first opening through which the applicator can take the substance; a shutter associated with the first opening and capable of taking a closed position and an opened position; a transmission member capable of being driven in displacement by the applicator to move the shutter into at least one of the open and closed positions; and a second opening distinct from the first and through which the receptacle can be inserted in said compartment, by being moved relative to the transmission member.
Claims54
A packaging and applicator device comprising:
- a case for receiving a receptacle containing a substance;
- an applicator releasably fixed to the case;
- a first opening in the case through which the applicator can take the substance;
- a shutter associated with the first opening and capable of taking a closed position and an opened position;
- a transmission member capable of being driven in displacement by the applicator to move the shutter into at least one of the open and closed positions;
- and
- a second opening in the case through which the receptacle can be inserted into the case by being moved relative to the transmission member.
A method of assembling a substance packaging and applicator device comprising a case and an applicator, the case comprising a first opening through which the substance is taken by the applicator, the method comprising inserting a supply of substance into the case through a second opening in the case that is different from the opening through which the substance is taken by the applicator, the case and the applicator being secured to each other while the supply of substance is being inserted into the case.
A device for applying a substance comprising:
- a case having an opening through which the substance can be taken;
- and
- an applicator releasably fixable to the case, said applicator having four studs engageable with a multiple threading of the case.
A device for applying at least one substance, the device comprising:
- a case having an axis and at least one side opening;
- an applicator that is releasably fixed to the case;
- a shutter that is movable relative to the case at least between a first position allowing the substance to be taken through the side opening and a second position preventing access to the substance through the side opening;
- a transmission member for transmitting movement of the applicator relative to the case so as to cause the shutter to move relative to the case, said movement taking place between said first and second positions;
- and
- a receptacle containing the substance and insertable into the case along the axis of the case with the transmission member inside the case.
A device comprising:
- a case comprising a first opening and a second opening;
- a receptacle disposed in the case relative to a transmission member, the receptacle comprising a third opening and containing a substance;
- an applicator releasably fixed to the case, the applicator configured for displacing the transmission member,
- wherein the displacing of the transmission member adjusts the device between an open position and a closed position, the first opening and third opening being aligned in the open position to provide access to the substance.
