Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022210448A1] The present invention relates to an apparatus (10) for storing and applying a product (P). The apparatus (10) comprises (i) an applicator (100) for applying the product (P), comprising: a shank (110) having a longitudinal center axis (X1); and an applicator tip (120) that is mounted on a distal end (110a) of the shank (110). The apparatus (10) also comprises (ii) a container (200) for storing the product (P), comprising: a longitudinal center axis (X2); a top opening (210) orthogonal to the longitudinal center axis (X2); a tubular peripheral wall (220) that defines the top opening (210); and a bottom (230) that faces the top opening (210) and closes a lower end of the tubular peripheral wall (220). The tubular peripheral wall (220) and the bottom (230) cooperatively define a space (V) for storing the product (P). The applicator (100) and the container (200) are configured: (i) to be able to couple with each other such that the applicator tip (120) is located in the space (V) of the container (200) and the applicator (100) seals off the container (200); and (ii) to be separable from each other such that the applicator (100) can be used for application of the product (P) with the applicator tip (120). The container (200) further comprises a wiper (240) protruding inward from the tubular peripheral wall (220) towards the longitudinal center axis (X2) of the container (200).
