Abstract

The make-up item including an applicator having application head defining an envelope surface, and a make-up product dispenser, which includes a site for receiving the applicator, and having an outer valve provided with at least one dispensing opening which faces a portion of the envelope surface when the applicator is received in the site, the valve being able to assume a closed position and an open position wherein the valve releases product directly against the head of the applicator.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. Make-up item, comprising:
an applicator whose application head defines an envelope surface;
a dispenser for make-up product, comprising a site for receiving the applicator, and having at least one outer valve provided with at least one dispensing opening which faces a portion of the envelope surface when the applicator is received in the site, the at least one outer valve being able to assume a closed position and an open position wherein the at least one outer valve releases product directly against the application head of the applicator; and
a channel adapted to be filled with the make-up product, wherein the at least one outer valve is formed by at least two upper and lower elastic walls, superimposed but spaced apart, an upper elastic wall of the at least two upper and lower elastic walls having the dispensing opening and a lower wall of the at least two upper and lower elastic walls having at least one internal opening and at least one blocking relief arranged so that the at least one blocking relief blocks the dispensing opening when the at least one outer valve is in the closed position.

2. Make-up item according to claim 1 , arranged so that the at least one outer valve opens and closes at the dispensing opening(s).

3. Make-up item according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one outer valve is arranged so that when in the closed position, the at least one outer valve is located away from the applicator received in the site.

4. Make-up item according to claim 1 , wherein the dispenser further comprises a flexible pouch for storing the make-up product, this flexible pouch being housed in a rigid container mounted movably relative to the at least one outer valve.

5. Make-up item according to claim 1 , wherein the dispenser further comprises a pump, without air intake, for supplying the at least one outer valve with the make-up product.

6. Make-up item according to claim 1 , wherein the dispenser further comprises an outer member for controlling the at least one outer valve, this control member being associated with a stop for controlling a supply of the at least one outer valve with the make-up product.

7. Make-up item according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two upper and lower elastic walls are arranged so that they deform to open the at least one outer valve under a sole pressure of the make-up product filling the channel.

8. Method for depositing make-up product on a make-up applicator of a make-up item using a product dispenser, wherein:
make-up product is released directly against an application head of the make-up applicator, the release of the make-up product including
filling a channel of the make-up item with the make-up product,
opening at least one outer valve of the product dispenser under an effect of a pressure of the make-up product filling the channel, wherein the at least one outer valve is provided with at least one dispensing opening, and wherein the at least one outer valve is formed by at least two upper and lower elastic walls, superimposed but spaced apart, an upper elastic wall of the at least two upper and lower elastic walls having the dispensing opening and a lower elastic wall of the at least two upper and lower elastic walls having at least one internal opening and at least one blocking relief arranged so that it blocks the dispensing opening when the at least one outer valve is in a closed position,
releasing make-up product directly against the application head of the make-up applicator, and
closing the at least one outer valve.
