  • the chimney 14" can be used as a gripping member 205 “during the rotation of the wheel 23". A hand of the user can thus come into engagement with the wheel 23 "and his other hand can come into contact with the chimney 14" to hold it fixed during the rotation imposed on said wheel.
  • the knob 23 may be integral with a threaded rod or screw, which rod is engaged with the product and may also form a projecting element 26 'thus extending through the dispensing opening 15". It can then occupy a protruding position relative to the free edge 25 "as well as relative to the free outer surface 100" of the product.
  • This projecting element can thus be integral, in particular in rotation, with the wheel 23 ", and projecting elements 26" can also be raised from the chimney 14 "of the base 2".
  • the product support 35 may comprise a plate carrying a stick of product P. These elements then pass through the apertures 40" of the plate 35 "and the product P.
  • a connecting member 39 "supporting the plate 35” may also be provided.
  • this member can connect the rod 26 "and the plate 35".
  • This member may comprise a sleeve 390 "internally coated with a thread adapted to cooperate with the complementary thread of the rod 26". Such a member is then adapted to transform a rotational movement of the rod 26 "imposed on the wheel 23" in an axial displacement of the plate 35 ", and thus the product P relative to the chimney 14".
  • the structure and mode of operation of such device are further described in the document FR-2 750 022 , the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
  • the figure 41 represents an alternative embodiment of the third embodiment of the packaging and application device according to the present invention.
  • the device may comprise two distinct product housings receiving identical or different products P1 and P2.

  • the knob 23 may comprise a product outlet 231".
  • the projecting elements 26 can in turn be traversed internally by a product distribution channel 262".
  • This channel may extend along an axis of elongation of the projecting elements. In other words, this channel may extend from the base 260 "of the projecting elements to the free end 261" of these projecting elements.
  • the base 260 “then comprises a product supply port 2600", adapted to be placed in fluid communication with the outlet orifice 231 "of the wheel while the free end 261” comprises a product dispensing orifice 2610 ". ".

  • this shutter 41 may include protrusions capable of covering or to be inserted into the respective dispensing orifices 2610". Such prominences can again serve as positioning means for the projecting elements 26 "during the pouring of the product In this nonlimiting embodiment, these protrusions extend from an insert element in the cover 3".
  • Locating means may be provided, for example on the wheel 23 "and / or on the chimney 14", to indicate to the user what degree of rotation it must impose on the wheel 23 "in order to place the outlet orifice product 231 "of the wheel vis-à-vis the supply port 2600" of at least one of the projecting elements.
  • These tracking means may include visual indications, such as lines or pictograms, respectively provided on the wheel 23 "and the chimney 14", to be placed vis-à-vis (not shown).
  • these means of identification may include nipples 232 ", for example provided on a wall of the wheel facing the chimney, adapted to cooperate with corresponding recesses formed on said chimney, or vice versa.
  • these locating means may be related to the configuration of the device.
  • the device may have a cross section of elongated shape, such as oval or elliptical.
  • the product outlet ports 231 "and the product supply ports 2600" can fluidly communicate when the wheel 23 "and the chimney 14" have a similar orientation so that their outer walls extend. in the continuity of one another.
  • the device can go from a position of communication of the orifices to a non-communication position of said orifices when the wheel 23 "is rotated 180 ° relative to the chimney 14", and vice versa.
  • the dispensing aperture 15 "extends over a surface strictly greater than that defined by the dispensing orifice 2610", in particular at least twice as much, five times, ten times, a hundred times, or more.
  • the wheel 23 may comprise a flexible wall that can be compressed by the user in order to raise the product P2 through the dispensing channel 262".
  • a piston type drive means may be implemented (not shown).
  • This drive means may comprise a plate forming a bottom wall of the product housing 230. Such a plate may be mounted in sealed friction contact in the wheel 23 ". With each movement of this plate towards the product outlet orifices 231 ", by sliding or screwing for example, the product P2 can be distributed through the dispensing orifices 2610".
  • the product P2 can be distributed by gravity effect by returning the device 1 ".
