Abstract:
A device for packaging and applying a solid product in the form of a stick, comprising:a case having a longitudinal axis and a first end, wherein said first end includes a free edge delimiting an exit orifice for said product, a cup supporting said stick inside the case, and a drive part capable of causing said cup to slide axially in said case;a removable cap configured to close off said exit orifice, said cap being closed at one of its ends, wherein said cap includes a first seal element provided in the closed end of the cap, said first seal element having a sealed face which is substantially leaktight to the product, and which rests against said free edge of the case when said cap is provided on said case;wherein said first seal element comprises at least one block of a cellular material which is elastically compressible in a plurality of directions, and an annular space between said block of cellular material and an internal surface of said removable cap, so as to allow said block to deform in at least a direction transverse to said longitudinal axis, whereby said sealed face creates a seal with said free edge of the case, said annular space extending from said sealed face towards the closed end of said cap on at least part of the height of said block.
