In a packaging container (1a) provided with a distribution valve (7), a chamber is provided enclosing the starting components of a system (9) for the anaerobic fermentation of sugars using yeasts, which produce the carbon gas forming said propulsive product. The chamber is composed either of a flexible, gas-tight, hermetically closed pocket (8) or of a small rigid reservoir, which is normally closed by a valve calibrated to open only when the pressure which is established in said reservoir exceeds by a given value the pressure reigning in the interior space of the packing container.

In a packing container (1a) provided with a distribution valve (7), a chamber is provided enclosing the starting components of a system (9) for the anaerobic fermentation of sugars using yeasts, which produce the carbon gas forming said propulsive product. The chamber is composed either of a flexible, gas-tight, hermetically closed pocket (8) or of a small rigid reservoir, which is normally closed by a valve calibrated to open only when the pressure which is established in said reservoir exceeds by a given value the pressure reigning in the interior space of the packing container.

The present invention relates to a nozzle for dispensing a product, in particular a foaming product, contained in a pressurized container. The nozzle comprises three elements: an element (6) for fixation onto the container; a dispensing element (5); and a lateral element (7) for coupling the first two elements. The coupling element (7) has an elasticity such that its height varies between the operating position and the position of repose by a value equal to the sum of the distance between the upper edge of the emergent stem in the position of repose and the projection of the hole when the nozzle is in the position of repose, and the distance corresponding to the course of driving in of the emergent stem between its position of repose and the position of complete opening of the valve. The emergent stem of the valve, in the position of repose, is completely outside the hole.

A container for nail polish includes a stopper (1) to which a brush (4) is affixed, and a bottle (2). The container has an elongated shape, similar to that of a fountain pen, and the bottle (2) is divided into two compartments (5, 6) by a valve (7), in particular a ball valve. The valve (7) is open when the stopper (1) of the container is in a lowered position with respect to the bottle (2).

A flexible gas-tight, hermetically sealed pouch (11), in which a likewise closed cartridge (8) filled with a propellant in the liquid phase is disposed, is introduced into the outer envelope (1) of a container (1a), and the container (1a), which includes a valve (7) for distributing fluid (13) contained in it or introduced via the valve (7) is plugged. The cartridge (8) used has a wall capable of degrading at least partially from simple contact with the propellant, until the cartridge opens, within a period of time at least equal to that necessary to assure the packaging and closure of the container (1a ). The propellant then spreads within the pouch (11), changing at least in part to the gaseous phase, at a pressure suitable to assure the dispensing of the fluid (13). By the judicious choice of the characteristics (type, thickness) of the degradable zone of the cartridge (8), heating or other more complicated or expensive means proposed heretofore for putting the container under pressure are avoided.

Products having a viscous or pasty consistency, or those dispensed as foams from a container (1) provided with a pushbutton (13) the actuation of which causes the ejection of a dose of product, are never, in practice, completely evacuated from the ejection conduit (14) made in a movable portion (9) bearing the pushbutton (13) and adapted to the outlet of the container (1). Hence they often threaten to escape from this conduit (14) and soil the container (1). To overcome this disadvantage, the invention proposes that the conduit (14) discharge into a chamber (40) defined by a fixed portion (10) attached to the container (1) and with the movable portion (9) comprising a dispensing cap (8); the chamber (40) opens to the outside via an opening (38), and the movable portion (9) includes a needle (27) capable of closing this opening (38) in the position of repose of the pushbutton (13) and of freeing it upon actuation of the pushbutton.

The device (1) includes an applicator brush (4) including a rod (5) provided with applicator means (A) such as bristles (6). The rod (5) is carried by a cap (7) intended to close the neck, and this cap is integrally joined to a sheath (9) capable of surrounding the rod (5). The rod (5) is mounted displaceably in the sheath (9) with respect to the cap (7), and at its end remote from the cap, the sheath (9) includes a restriction (11), through which the applicator means (A) of the brush can pass. The rod (5) of the brush includes an enlargement (12) arranged to come into contact with the restriction (11) by gravity, when the brush (4) is oriented downward, so as to retain the rod and close the restriction. Toward the cap, the sheath (9) includes at least one opening (14, 15) allowing liquid to enter the sheath when the bottle, closed by the cap, is inverted, and a free space (16) exists between the inside surface of the sheath and the outer surface of the rod to form a reservoir for the liquid. The length (L) of the sheath is greater than that (1) of the rod, such that the rod (5) can retract inside the sheath (9), which assures the opening of the restriction.

A container is provided with a dispensing device including a bent delivery tube directable in relation to a valve-actuating element which is displaceable in relation to a mounting skirt for fixing the device on the container; dispensing of the product from the containers by way of a duct having a first portion arranged in the delivery tube and a second portion in the actuating element which includes an oblique surface in relation to the axis of the skirt; a delivery tube includes a swiveling mount for moving it about an axis normal to the oblique surface and an abutment means for bearing on the oblique surface so that in one position the delivery tube is substantially parallel to the axis of the skirt.

The container comprises a distribution valve having disposed on its outlet orifice, a push button (14) cooperating with the valve to produce discharge of the mousse. The discharge channel (24) opens in a mousse accumulation chamber (28), in which the entering flow of the mousse is deflected by a deflector (36) before escaping towards the exterior through a grill (27) constituting the end wall of the said chamber (28), substantially opposite to said ejection channel (24). This arrangement permits the control of the discharge of the mousse, which leaves in a compact manner, presenting a much greater fineness of texture, with a much greater ability to be applied.

A container comprises a bottle for a liquid product and having at the end of its neck a leakproof envelope enclosing an additional product to be stored separately from the liquid in the bottle. A cap on the neck includes a slidable push button carrying a perforator to open the envelope in a central region of the envelope to allow the additional product to mix with the liquid and then to be discharged through an eccentric duct in the cap rather than having to pass through the center of the cap where the perforator is positioned.

A make-up applicator comprises a wallet in the shape of a book of matches, having an array of tear off sticks with tips coated with eye shadow or lip rouge, and a closure flap adapted to fold over the sticks to close the wallet. A relief formation prevents the closure flap from contacting the coated tips of the sticks when the wallet is closed.

An ageing indicator compares a closed sachet of one or more closed tubes of a material which is slightly permeable to a fluid contained in the sachet or tube. The rate of permeation of the fluid through the sachet-like assembly tube wall depends upon temperature and time of exposure to that temperature so the quantity of fluid loss is indicative of temperature and time; the ageing capable of then being detected either by measuring a column of the liquid in a tube or by observing the appearance or disappearance of printed indicia in the sachet.

A closure device for the neck of a pressurized container comprises a dispensing nozzle provided with a skirt adapted to be secured to the neck of the container. A closing member within the nozzle comprises an actuating rod extending lengthwise towards the tip of the nozzle and an obturator having an annular wall normally sealingly engageable with a cylindrical internal wall portion of the nozzle. The cylindrical wall portion is connected to the portion of the nozzle containing the actuating rod by an elastically deformable portion whereby the nozzle can be tilted to tilt said rod and release the seal between the obturator and the cylindrical internal wall portion of the nozzle.
