Abstract

The present invention relates to a dispensing system ( 10 ) comprising an assembly having a dispenser ( 11 ) of at least one cosmetic product, in particular makeup, and having at least two outlet interfaces ( 110 ), each of which can be mounted removably on the dispenser, the dispenser having at least two different base products and allowing these to be delivered in variable proportions, the outlet interfaces being able to receive the one or more products delivered by the dispenser.

Claims (33)

1. A dispensing system comprising:

an assembly having a dispenser of at least one cosmetic product and having at least two different types of outlet interfaces, each of which can be mounted removably on the dispenser, the dispenser having at least two different base products and allowing these to be delivered in variable proportions, the outlet interfaces being able to receive the one or more products delivered by the dispenser, the different types of outlet interfaces being chosen from among the following:

an outlet interface having a container allowing the product to be picked up using a finger or with the aid of an applicator,

an outlet interface allowing the product to be delivered to a spray system, the spray system being an airbrush,

an outlet interface comprising several regions for receiving the product, which can move relative to the dispenser, and

an outlet interface that allows the product to be delivered to a dispensing endpiece.

2. The system according to claim 1 , the assembly having at least three of the different types of outlet interfaces.

3. The system according to claim 2 , the assembly having four of the different types of outlet interfaces.

4. The system according to claim 1 , the dispenser having three of the different base products and allowing these to be delivered in variable proportions.

5. The system according to claim 1 , each outlet interface among the outlet interfaces having a base allowing the outlet interface to be fixed to the dispenser.

6. The system according to claim 1 , at least one of (i) an outlet interface among the outlet interfaces and (ii) the dispenser having a seal allowing sealed communication between the dispenser and the at least one outlet interface.

7. The system according to claim 1 , a user of the system initially being offered several outlet interfaces with a common dispenser within one and the same package.

8. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the package is a case or a cardboard box.

9. The system according to claim 1 , the outlet interfaces being single-use interfaces.

10. The system according to claim 1 , at least one of the outlet interfaces being provided with a removable cover.

11. The system according to claim 1 , wherein:

the dispenser has outlet channels for the base products, and

at least one outlet interface among the outlet interfaces has a static mixer.

12. The system according to claim 11 , the static mixer delivering a mixture to a cavity from which it can be picked up.

13. The system according to claim 12 , the static mixer being situated under the cavity.

14. The system according to claim 11 , the at least one outlet interface having a cup.

15. The system according to claim 11 , the at clast least one outlet interface being a single-use outlet interface.

16. The system according to claim 11 , the static mixer having a central chamber communicating with base product admission channels, the central chamber communicating with a peripheral chamber having a series of partitions which act as deflectors for a mixture and create shearing therein.

17. The system according to claim 16 , the peripheral chamber having a perforated annular partition defining perforations through which the mixture passes as the mixture circulates in the peripheral chamber.

18. The system according to claim 16 , an end wall of the peripheral chamber being of helical shape and of a height that decreases with closeness towards the outlet.

19. The system according to claim 16 , the central and peripheral chambers being closed at the top by a wall which defines an end wall of the cavity receiving the mixture.

20. The system according to claim 16 , the peripheral chamber having radial partitions that force the mixture to circulate alternately between upper and lower regions of the peripheral chamber and between radially inner and outer regions.

21. The system according to claim 16 , the mixer having an outer body in which a component forming a heart of the mixer is housed, the body radially closing the peripheral chamber on the outside and comprising an upright that separates the central and peripheral chambers.

22. The system according to the claim 21 , the outer body of the mixer and the heart of the mixer each being produced as a single piece by injection moulding.

23. The system according to claim 1 , the dispenser being designed to deliver at least three of the base products in variable proportions.

24. A method for applying makeup with the aid of the system according to claim 1 , the method comprising steps of selecting an outlet interface, mounting it on the dispenser, and delivering the one or more products contained in the dispenser to the outlet interface.

25. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the cosmetic product is makeup.

26. The system according to claim 1 , the container being a cup.
