Abstract:
1. A device for packaging and applying a product, comprising: a container suitable for containing the product; an application component including at least one applicator portion suitable for coming in contact with the product in order to take up some of the product; a product holding component contained at least partly inside the container and which is suitable for holding some of the product and releasing it to the at least one applicator portion, said product holding component including at least one of a porous material and a fibrous material; a rotational coupling arranged on at least one side of the applicator portion comprising a lug disposed inside a cavity and allowing the application component to be moved in rotation about an axis Y relative to the container, wherein the application component includes at least one portion separating the applicator portion from the rotational coupling, the at least one portion having a non-constant cross section measured transversely to the axis of rotation Y, and wherein a diameter of the at least one portion continuously decreases from the applicator portion to one of the lug and the cavity, and the at least one portion includes a section, which is a section of the at least one portion with a smallest diameter, immediately adjacent to the one of the lug and the cavity, and said section extends from said coupling by defining an acute angle with a line parallel to the axis of rotation, as measured inside the at least one portion, where the section and the one of the lug and cavity meet.
