Patent ID: 7455468

Claim:
A device for packaging and application of a cosmetic, comprising: a container containing a product; an applicator including a rod connected at a first end to a gripping member and connected at a second end, opposite the first end, to an application element; a first wiping member disposed in the container and including a deformable portion configured to wipe the application element during extraction of the application element from the container; and an adjustment member, movable in relation to the first wiping member between at least first and second positions and arranged proximate to the deformable portion of the first wiping member in the first position such that deformation of the deformable portion is limited by the adjustment member during passage of the application element through the deformable portion, deformation of the deformable portion is less limited by the adjustment member when the adjustment member is in the second position than when the adjustment member is in the first position, and the adjustment member limits deformation of the deformable portion without substantially constraining the deformable portion when the deformable portion is un-deformed by either the application element or rod, irrespective of a position of the adjustment member.
