Abstract
A device for dispensing a cosmetic and/or care product includes a container having a free edge defining a product dispensing aperture. According to an example, the container has a longitudinal axis intersecting the dispensing aperture, a cap to be mounted on the container between closed and open positions, a sensory stimulation member or device fixed in relation to the container or the cap housing it. A power supply switch is inaccessible in the closed position, and capable of making the sensory stimulation member change state. A switch actuator selectively connects the power supply to the sensory stimulation member during movement of the cap from the closed position to the open position.
Claims17
A device for dispensing a cosmetic and/or care product comprising:
- a container that is configured to contain the product, the container including a free edge defining a product dispensing aperture, said container having an axis intersecting the dispensing aperture;
- a cap that is configured to be mounted on the container and that is movable between a closed position, which closes the aperture, and an open position, which allows access to said aperture;
- a sensory stimulation member fixed in relation to one of the container or the cap housing it;
- a power supply for the sensory stimulation member;
- a switch, which is inaccessible in the closed position, and which causes the sensory stimulation member to change state;
- switch actuation means which selectively connects said power supply to said sensory stimulation member in response to movement of the cap from the closed position,
- wherein, in the closed position of the cap, said free edge and said actuation means are disposed at distinct respective axial heights, such that the free edge is axially closer to the power supply than is the actuation means, and
- wherein said actuation means is axially offset from said dispensing aperture.
