Abstract

The present invention relates to a compressible dispenser of a liquid product, in particular a cosmetic liquid product such as a cream, which includes a resiliently compressible body, a member for dispensing said liquid product having an outlet opening for the liquid, a cap having a wall, attachment means intended for ensuring the removable attachment of said cap on said body, and which includes a cover covering the distribution member. The outer peripheral surface is flush with said outlet opening, and the wall of the cap and the wall of the body have outer surfaces that are flush at the upper edges thereof. The cap and the body are portions that complement one another, with a continuously convex shape, said protection cover having a shape identical to that of the wall of the cap, but reduced by at least the thickness of the wall of said cap.

Claims

1. A resiliently compressible dispenser of a liquid product of the type comprising:

a resiliently compressible body having a wall with upper edges, a dispensing device, of said liquid product having an outlet aperture for the liquid, a cap with a wall having upper edges, and attachment means intended to attach said cap removably to said body, wherein said resiliently compressible dispenser comprises a cover covering the dispensing device, the cover having an outer peripheral surface, in that the wall of the cap and the wall of the body have outer surfaces that are flush at the upper edges thereof, and in that the cap and the body are portions, complementary to one another, and continuously convex in form, said outer peripheral surface of the cover having a convex shape arranged parallel to and inside of a convex shape of the outer surface of the wall of the cap.

2. The dispenser according to claim 1, wherein said dispenser comprises a flexible pouch which is arranged inside said resiliently compressible body and which contains the liquid product, the interior of the flexible pouch being in direct communication with the outlet aperture.

3. The dispenser according to claim 1, wherein the attachment means are such that the cover has on its outer peripheral surface hollow motifs complementary to motifs in relief provided on an inner peripheral surface of the wall of the cap.

4. The dispenser according to claim 1, wherein the upper edges of said cap and the upper edges of said resiliently compressible body are in contact with one another when said cap is attached to said resiliently compressible body.

5. The dispenser according to claim 2, wherein the dispensing device is in the form of a plunger tube, one end of which extends towards the bottom of the flexible pouch and the other end of which comprises a nozzle provided with a slit creating the outlet aperture.

6. The dispenser according to claim 2, wherein the resiliently compressible body has a throat through which one or more openings are arranged which open into a space between the resiliently compressible body and the flexible pouch, a washer acting as a shutter being provided on each opening to prevent the air contained in said space from escaping when the user applies manual pressure to said resiliently compressible body.

7. The dispenser according to claim 1, wherein said dispenser has an ellipsoidal shape, an ovoid shape, a flattened ellipsoidal or a flattened ovoid shape.
