  • this applicator is lying down, for example during a travel of the user, product leaks occur, especially when the protective cover is not closed properly, which is detrimental.
  • the present invention makes it possible to avoid the drawbacks mentioned above by proposing the new industrial product which consists of an applicator containing a viscous product, of very gentle application; this application can be carried out easily on all the places of the human body, and more especially on the armpits and the legs, with a regular and homogeneous spreading of the product.
  • This applicator can even be used with a massage movement to promote the penetration of the product into the skin.
  • the present invention relates to an applicator of a product of viscous consistency, characterized in that it comprises a product reservoir and a rigid applicator member comprising pores communicating with each other in all directions, the product having a viscosity chosen so that the passage of the product through the pores by gravity and / or by capillarity is prevented, and in that it further comprises means for compressing the product capable of producing sufficient pressure on the product to push it through the pores, when dispensing a dose of product.
  • the compression means are mechanical in nature and comprise, according to a first alternative embodiment, a piston associated with a means for operating the piston.
  • This operating means can be constituted by a rod movable in rotation, provided with a thread integral with an actuating element such as a knurling wheel, the thread of the rod cooperating with a complementary thread made in the piston.
  • the actuating element of the applicator assembly of the invention advantageously has an oval or elongated shape perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rod, so that this element forms a lever arm facilitating raising the piston during use.
  • the applicator member is advantageously a dome having a continuous application surface, substantially convex or planar, which may include a slight depression.
  • This dispensing dome can be made of a rigid, non-deformable sintered material made of ceramic or plastic, obtained in particular by hot compression of particles of plastic or ceramic material.

This end piece has a passage 128 along its axis, in which the free end of the emerging rod 122 of the valve 120 is engaged, in order to obtain a sealed connection between this rod and the end piece 126.
  • Channels 125 which are substantially radial are formed between the internal face of the support 124 and the underside of the distributor dome 104, said channels being able to be produced in the distributor dome itself and / or in the wall of the support: these channels have the advantage to ensure a good distribution of the product to be distributed.
  • the external face 107 of the dispensing dome 104 uniformly delivers product.
  • a protective cover 129 is provided to protect the application member 104.
  • the user applies the external face 107 of the dome 104 against the surface to be treated, for example the skin to be depilated from one leg. He then moves the applicator laterally. This results in a friction force which results in the deformation of the flexible element 130, and, consequently, a substantially radial displacement of the cup 124, relative to the reservoir 102 and relative to the axis of the valve 120. It a changeover ensues lateral of the rod 122 and therefore an opening of the valve, with simultaneous ejection of the depilation gel conditioned under pressure in the reservoir 102.
  • the gel arrives on the internal face 109 of the dispensing dome 104, then it is distributed over this whole face internal and, under the effect of the distribution pressure, it passes through the frit constituting the dome 104 to come flush with the external face 107 of this dome.
  • the gel is then distributed by friction on the leg; during an excess of product, the friction force decreases, which causes the valve 120 to close under the effect of the elastic return means, provided inside the valve.
  • this applicator is particularly reliable, and there can be no leakage.
  • the approval of a topical application by means of this applicator is very satisfactory, because the user feels a soft and non-greasy application with a freshness effect.
  • the application can be carried out directly without prior turning over of the applicator.
