This invention relates to a cosmetic product applicator, including: an application member () comprising an application element (); and a gripping member () hinged to the application member, with the gripping member being mobile with respect to the application member around an axis of rotation (), between a first and a second stable configurations. The application member and the gripping member respectively comprise first and second () guiding elements, configured to slide against one another during a rotation of the gripping member with respect to the application member, with each one of the first and second stable configurations corresponding to a minimum of elastic stress between said first and second guiding elements, said elastic stress being considered in the radial direction with respect to the axis of rotation ().

Hinged applicator for a cosmetic product and associated packaging and application assembly

The present invention relates to a cosmetic product applicator (), of (lie type comprising: an application member () extending along a first longitudinal axis (), a first end of said application member comprising an application element (); and a gripping member () extending along a second longitudinal axis () and connected by a hinge () to a second end () of the application member. The applicator timber comprises a removable locking element () forming a first stop between the gripping member and the application member, so as to lock the hinge and keep the first and second longitudinal axes substantially parallel.

A packaging and applicator device for applying at least one cosmetic, makeup, or care product composition, the device comprising: a container containing the composition; and an applicator member that is secured to the container and that defines an application surface, the applicator member being made, at least in part, out of an inorganic material, and having at least one channel passing therethrough so as to enable the composition to pass from the container to the application surface; the application surface having a surface area lying in the range 50 mmto 200 mm, better in the range 70 mmto 150 mm, better still in the range 80 mmto 100 mm, and the applicator member having a weight that is greater than 4 g.

Packaging and applicator device including an applicator member

An assembly for a bottle which includes a neck with a vertical axis, which neck has a shoulder. The assembly includes a ring which is capable of being engaged around the neck and which includes profiles for retention on the neck which are capable of co-operating with the shoulder. The assembly further includes a fixed insert which is capable of being fitted to the bottle and which delimits a housing for receiving the ring. Opposing surfaces of the ring and the housing include complementary protruding and recessed fastening profiles for resilient engagement of the complementary profiles, at least two successive profiles on the ring or the housing allowing the ring to be fastened in at least two positions which are axially offset relative to the housing.
