Abstract
A packaging and applicator device which is particularly advantageous for a cosmetic product. The arrangement includes a container incorporating an aperture and a cap intended to close the container aperture. The cap is connected to an applicator by a rod and a resilient means of return. The rod incorporates a first portion having a lengthwise axis. In one example, the applicator is connected by a pivot zone to the first portion, and the resilient means of return is arranged so as to constrain the pivot zone such that the applicator is caused to form a non-zero angle relative to the lengthwise axis.
