Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0485247A1] This device comprises a reservoir (2) of viscous product, a cap (31) and a rod (27) ending in a brush (29) which penetrates into the reservoir (2) via an orifice whose edge forms a drying zone (16), an insertion shaft (10) being advantageously arranged at the entry of the reservoir (2). Inside the latter is attached a helical spring (18) whose axis is substantially coincident with the axis of the zone (16), the said spring (18) being located at least in the vicinity of the drying member (9) and its internal diameter being smaller than the largest external diameter of the brush (28). When the latter passes inside the spring (18) filled with product, it is unloaded and reloaded as it passes the turns of the spring and it agitates the product whose thixotropy it disrupts. At the exit from the drying member (9), a ready-to-apply product is available whose texture is uniform and more fluid and which is satisfactorily distributed, without caking. <IMAGE>
