Disclosed is a diffuser of a volatile liquid substance of the type including a container of the volatile liquid substance, closed by at least one membrane permeable to the vapours of the volatile liquid substance, wherein the container is at least partly flexible and contains a plurality of capsules filled with the volatile liquid substance and made of a pressure-breakable plastic material impermeable to liquid and vapour. The permeable membrane is in direct contact with the external environment.

A gel application system includes an applicator body having a first surface, a second surface and at least one opening extending through the applicator body from the first surface to the second surface. At least one gel packet is attached to the first surface of the applicator and defines an interior volume containing gel. The interior volume of the gel packet is in fluid flow communication with the at least one opening. The at least one gel packet is made of a material that has sufficient flexibility to allow a user to squeeze and compress the interior volume and expel gel through the at least one opening, by applying a compression force on the gel packet.

A gel application system includes a base providing a support structure having a first surface. The base has a central portion separating two side portions. The base is configured to fold across the central portion. One or more containers is supported by the first surface of the base, on one or both of the side portions of the base. Each container encloses a volume of gel. An applicator is supported at the central portion of the base. The base has a second surface facing opposite the first surface, and is configured to fold across the central portion to a pivoted state in which the second surface of the two side portions of the base are pivoted toward each other.

A gel application system comprises a flexible tip member having a first end, a second end and a gel flow channel connecting the first end and the second end. The second end of the flexible tip member has a self-closing outlet tip. A container defines an interior volume containing gel and has one end coupled in gel flow communication with the gel flow channel of the flexible tip member. The self-closing outlet tip is configured to remain in a closed (or sealed) state with sufficient force that gel is not able to pass through the outlet tip, unless an external force above a threshold is applied to the gel in the gel container.

A container (1) with separate sealed compartments for different substances. The container (1) comprises separate and relatively sealed first (A), second (B) and third (C) compartments. The first compartment (A) receives a first substance (such as colorant); the second compartment (B) receives a second substance (such as a developing solution); and the third compartment (C) defines a mixing volume for receiving the first and second substances from the first and second compartments. A rupturable portion adjoins the third compartment (C) and separates the first and second compartments (A, B), from the third compartment so that in use, when the a rupturable portion is ruptured substances from the first and second compartments (A, B) can pass to the third compartment (C). A passage (16) is provided in a wall of the third compartment (C) along an edge not shared with either of the first or second compartments. The passage (16) leads to a first opening that is opened by a first opening means (6) which when opened, permits controlled release of a user defined amount of the first and/or second substances; and the third compartment (C) has a second opening with a second opening means (66) which enables at least one of the sheets to be opened in order to access the third compartment (C) and remove first and/or second substances therefrom.

The present invention is to provide a cosmetic carrier 10 capable of suppressing swelling even when it is impregnated with a cosmetic having flowability, and to provide a cosmetic container 30 housing the same. The cosmetic carrier 10 for impregnating and holding the cosmetic having flowability is formed of a fibrous aggregate having a core-sheath structure.

A method for producing fragrance sample delivery paper capable of housing and delivering a plurality of fragrance sample test strips (scent paper, mouillettes, perfume test paper) to be fragrance samples impregnated with perfumes by folding a single piece of rectangular paper, and such a fragrance sample delivery paper are provided. A sheet configured with a first sheet section (first inner-side face, first outer-side face), a second sheet section (second inner-side face, second outer-side face), and a third sheet section (third inner-side face, third outer-side face) is formed into a tri-fold shape. The third sheet section is folded and bonded to the second inner-side face to configure saclike sections, fragrance test strips are inserted into the saclike sections, and the first inner-side face (first outer-side face) and the second inner-side face (second outer-side face) are bonded to form the fragrance sample delivery paper having a plurality of saclike sections.

There are provided a porous pad for the impregnation of a liquid cosmetic composition and a liquid-cosmetic-composition impregnating method using such a porous pad. The porous pad includes a first porous pad layer and a second porous pad layer. An injection hole is formed in the first porous pad layer for the injection of the liquid cosmetic composition. The second porous pad layer is disposed under the first porous pad layer, and has a dispersion hole for the dispersion of the liquid cosmetic composition that is injected through the injection hole, and one or more main storage holes that are radially arranged around the periphery of the dispersion hole.
