Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un applicateur de maquillage ou de produit de soin ; un tel applicateur est utilisé par exemple pour appliquer sur les cils un renforçateur, encore appelé mascara, ou pour appliquer un eye-liner, une ombre à paupières, une crème de soin pour les ongles, un vernis à ongles, un rouge à lèvres ou autre.The present invention relates to a makeup or care product applicator; a such an applicator is used for example to apply a reinforcer to the eyelashes, again called mascara, or to apply an eyeliner, an eye shadow, a cream of care for nails, nail polish, lipstick or other.
Un applicateur de maquillage ou de produit capillaire comporte en général un réservoir contenant le produit à appliquer et un capuchon amovible qui est destiné à fermer le réservoir ; une tige est solidaire du capuchon par l'une de ses extrémités et porte à son autre extrémité un organe d'application du produit, comme une brosse ou un pinceau ; en position de fermeture du réservoir par le capuchon, l'organe d'application plonge dans le réservoir ; lorsque l'on ôte le capuchon et la tige du réservoir, on prélève sur la brosse ou le pinceau une certaine quantité de produit que l'on peut alors appliquer.A makeup or hair product applicator generally comprises a reservoir containing the product to be applied and a removable cap which is intended to close the tank ; a rod is integral with the cap by one of its ends and carries to its at the other end, a product applicator, such as a brush or a paint brush; in the closed position of the reservoir by the cap, the applicator member plunges into The reservoir ; when the cap and the stem of the tank are removed, the brush is removed or the brush a certain amount of product that can then be applied.
De façon habituelle, l'organe d'application du produit est monté dans l'alignement de la tige, qui est elle-même dans l'alignement du capuchon. Cette configuration rigide rend l'ensemble parfois difficile à manipuler: en particulier le maquillage du coin de l'oeil et de la paupière, le maquillage de l'oeil gauche pour un droitier et de la lèvre supérieure nécessitent, de la part de l'utilisateur, d'opérer des torsions du poignet peu confortables. En outre, cette manipulation dans des conditions peu ergonomiques est propice aux débordements et aux ratures.Usually, the product application member is mounted in alignment with the rod, which is itself aligned with the cap. This rigid configuration makes the whole sometimes difficult to handle: in particular the makeup of the corner of the eye and eyelid, make-up of the left eye for a right-handed person and the upper lip require the user to perform uncomfortable wrist twists. In addition, this manipulation in poorly ergonomic conditions is conducive to overflows and erasures.
On a constaté que, lors de l'ouverture des applicateurs de maquillage, les utilisateurs décrivent avec leurs mains un mouvement circulaire et non linéaire. Ce geste naturel a pour conséquence le fait que la tige portant l'organe d'application sort du réservoir en formant un angle non nul avec l'axe du réservoir. Ces observations sont décrites sur la figure 3A.It has been found that, when opening the makeup applicators, the users describe with their hands a circular and non-linear movement. This natural gesture has as a consequence the fact that the rod carrying the applicator member leaves the reservoir in forming a non-zero angle with the axis of the tank. These observations are described on the Figure 3A.
On constate alors qu'au passage à travers l'essoreur, l'organe d'application n'est pas essoré de la même façon sous toutes ses faces. Ceci est particulièrement critique pour les organes d'application comportant des contours convexes, dont l'essorage est naturellement moins efficace.We then observe that when passing through the wringer, the applicator member is not wrung in the same way on all sides. This is particularly critical for the applicator members comprising convex contours, the wringing of which is naturally less effective.
Enfin, à la sortie du réservoir, on constate que l'organe d'application, incliné, salit le rebord du réservoir.Finally, at the outlet of the reservoir, it can be seen that the inclined application member dirty the tank rim.
On connaít déjà des applicateurs de maquillage dont la tige portant l'organe d'application est constituée de deux demi-tiges reliées entre elles par une charnière afin de réduire la distance entre le capuchon et l'organe d'application. Celui-ci présente plusieurs inconvénients :We already know makeup applicators whose rod carrying the applicator member consists of two half-rods connected to each other by a hinge to reduce the distance between the cap and the applicator member. This one presents several disadvantages:
Lorsque la demi-tige qui porte l'organe d'application est inclinée, par actionnement de la charnière, par rapport à la demi-tige portant le capuchon, la distance entre la main de l'utilisateur, qui tient le capuchon, et l'organe d'application est plus courte que lorsque l'on utilise un applicateur sans charnière. Ceci a pour conséquence de réduire l'ampleur du geste de maquillage et de contribuer à la maladresse de ce dernier.When the half-rod which carries the applicator member is inclined, by actuation of the hinge, with respect to the half-rod carrying the cap, the distance between the hand of the user, who holds the cap, and the applicator member is shorter than when uses a hinged applicator. This has the effect of reducing the extent of the gesture of makeup and contribute to the awkwardness of the latter.
En outre, il est peu aisé de réintroduire la tige dans le réservoir lorsque celle-ci est en position inclinée autour de sa charnière centrale, la tige ayant tendance à se dérober sous la pression. In addition, it is not easy to reintroduce the rod into the tank when it is in inclined position around its central hinge, the rod tending to slip away under pressure.
Par ailleurs, lorsque le réservoir comporte un essoreur, la charnière, positionnée entre les deux demi-tiges, gêne le passage de la tige au travers de l'essoreur et du produit s'accumule dans les interstices de la charnière, ce qui est source de salissures. En outre, une telle charnière confère à l'ensemble de l'applicateur une certaine fragilité.Furthermore, when the tank has a wringer, the hinge, positioned between the two half-rods, hinders the passage of the rod through the wringer and the product accumulates in the interstices of the hinge, which is a source of dirt. In addition, such a hinge gives the entire applicator a certain fragility.
Enfin, la fabrication d'applicateurs de maquillage de dimensions réduites comportant une charnière au milieu de la tige n'est pas envisageable en raison de l'encombrement que représente obligatoirement une telle charnière. Or les applicateurs de petites dimensions sont très appréciés des utilisateurs, car ils sont facilement transportables et prennent peu de place dans un sac.Finally, the manufacture of reduced-size makeup applicators comprising a hinge in the middle of the rod is not possible due to the size that necessarily represents such a hinge. Or small-sized applicators are very popular with users because they are easily transportable and take little place in a bag.
On connaít, par le document FR-A-2 701 196 un applicateur de maquillage comprenant un réservoir, un capuchon amovible destiné à fermer le réservoir, un organe d'application porté par l'extrémité d'une tige solidaire du capuchon et une poignée articulée autour d'un axe porté par le capuchon, cette poignée étant constituée d'un arceau dont les dimensions sont telles que, dans la position repliée de la poignée, l'arceau entoure le réservoir.Document FR-A-2 701 196 discloses a makeup applicator comprising a reservoir, a removable cap intended to close the reservoir, an applicator member carried by the end of a rod secured to the cap and a handle hinged around an axis carried by the cap, this handle consisting of a hoop whose dimensions are such that, in the folded position of the handle, the hoop surrounds the tank.
Un tel applicateur présente les mêmes inconvénients : réduction de l'ampleur du geste de maquillage, difficultés d'introduction dans le réservoir, que ceux décrits ci-dessus pour les applicateurs comportant deux demi-tiges reliées entre elles par une charnière.Such an applicator has the same drawbacks: reduction in the size of the gesture make-up, difficulties of introduction into the reservoir, than those described above for applicators comprising two half-rods connected to each other by a hinge.
On connaít, par le document US-4,370,989, un applicateur de maquillage comprenant un réservoir, un capuchon amovible destiné à fermer le réservoir, un organe d'application porté par l'extrémité d'une tige solidaire du capuchon, la tige étant reliée au capuchon par l'intermédiaire d'une articulation autour d'un axe. Une telle articulation n'autorise pas une orientation libre de la tige par rapport au capuchon et ne permet pas un essorage homogène de l'organe d'application. On observe également avec un tel applicateur le dépôt de produit sur le rebord du réservoir à chaque utilisation.We know, from document US-4,370,989, a makeup applicator comprising a reservoir, a removable cap intended to close the reservoir, an applicator member carried by the end of a rod integral with the cap, the rod being connected to the cap by means of an articulation around an axis. Such an articulation does not authorize free orientation of the rod relative to the cap and does not allow wringing homogeneous application body. We also observe with such an applicator the deposit of product on the rim of the tank each time it is used.
De façon surprenante, la demanderesse a surmonté les inconvénients de l'art antérieur par la découverte d'un nouvel applicateur de maquillage ou de produit de soin comprenant un réservoir susceptible de contenir un produit, un capuchon amovible destiné à fermer le réservoir, le capuchon définissant un axe, une tige comportant une première et une seconde extrémités, un organe d'application porté par la première extrémité de la tige, cette tige étant solidaire du capuchon par sa seconde extrémité, caractérisé en ce que la fixation de la tige sur le capuchon comporte une articulation autour d'un point autorisant un déplacement angulaire de la tige par rapport à l'axe du capuchon, ce déplacement angulaire étant d'une amplitude maximale inférieure ou égale à 90°.Surprisingly, the applicant has overcome the drawbacks of the prior art by the discovery of a new makeup applicator or skincare product comprising a reservoir capable of containing a product, a removable cap intended to close the reservoir, the cap defining an axis, a rod comprising a first and second ends, an applicator member carried by the first end of the rod, this rod being secured to the cap by its second end, characterized in that the attachment of the rod to the cap comprises a hinge around a point allowing angular displacement of the rod relative to the axis of the cap, this angular displacement being of a maximum amplitude less than or equal at 90 °.
De préférence, cette articulation est située à l'intérieur du capuchon.Preferably, this articulation is located inside the cap.
On peut prévoir que le déplacement angulaire de la tige par rapport au capuchon soit limité par les rebords du capuchon ou par un système de retenue à l'intérieur du capuchon.Provision may be made for the angular displacement of the rod relative to the cap to be limited by the edges of the cap or by a retaining system inside the cap.
L'articulation autour d'un point peut consister par exemple en un système de rotule sphérique. L'articulation permet d'orienter la tige par rapport au capuchon dans les 3 dimensions ce qui donne plus de flexibilité et de souplesse à l'ensemble, en particulier cette articulation permet à l'utilisateur d'atteindre plus facilement et sans contrainte des parties du visage difficiles à maquiller. Elle autorise une orientation libre de la tige par rapport au capuchon. Ainsi, l'organe d'application peut sortir droit du réservoir, il est donc essoré de façon homogène et ne salit pas le rebord du réservoir.The articulation around a point can consist for example of a ball joint system spherical. The articulation makes it possible to orient the rod relative to the cap in the 3 dimensions which gives more flexibility and suppleness to the whole, in particular this articulation allows the user to reach more easily and without constraint parts of the face difficult to make up. It allows free orientation of the rod by compared to the cap. Thus, the applicator member can exit straight from the reservoir, it is therefore evenly wrung out and does not soil the tank rim.
Les rebords du capuchon et/ou le système de rotule limitent l'inclinaison de la tige par rapport au capuchon. Ainsi, l'utilisateur peut exercer une pression importante sur le dispositif constitué de l'organe d'application, de la tige et du capuchon sans que la tige ne se dérobe sous cette pression, ce qui est fréquemment observé avec les dispositifs de l'art antérieur comportant deux demi-tiges reliées par une charnière ou une tige et une poignée articulées autour d'un axe.The rims of the cap and / or the ball joint system limit the inclination of the rod by compared to the cap. Thus, the user can exert significant pressure on the device consisting of the applicator member, the rod and the cap without the rod does not slip away under this pressure, which is frequently seen with devices of the prior art comprising two half-rods connected by a hinge or a rod and a handle articulated around an axis.
La distance de la main de l'utilisateur à l'organe d'application n'est réduite que de façon peu sensible par l'inclinaison, aussi le geste de maquillage peut conserver la même ampleur qu'avec un dispositif à tige non articulée.The distance from the user's hand to the applicator is only reduced so not very sensitive by the inclination, so the gesture of makeup can keep the same extent than with a non-articulated rod device.
La tige peut être réintroduite dans le réservoir sans difficultés, elle n'entraíne pas de salissures au travers de l'essoreur et n'accroche pas au passage à travers celui-ci. Chaque fois que la tige est réintroduite dans le réservoir, elle se replace dans l'axe du capuchon.The rod can be reintroduced into the tank without difficulty, it does not cause dirt through the wringer and does not catch on passing through it. Each time the rod is reintroduced into the tank, it is replaced in the axis of the cap.
L'articulation étant placée entre les doigts du manipulateur, celui-ci exerce un meilleur contrôle sur cette articulation.The articulation being placed between the fingers of the manipulator, this one exerts a better control over this joint.
De préférence, l'articulation est munie d'au moins un frein.Preferably, the joint is provided with at least one brake.
En outre, on constate qu'une telle articulation compense le mouvement circulaire d'ouverture de l'applicateur. Ainsi le capuchon s'incline par rapport à la tige qui reste droite en sortant du réservoir.In addition, it can be seen that such an articulation compensates for the circular movement. the applicator. Thus the cap tilts relative to the rod which remains right out of the tank.
L'organe d'application peut être de tout type connu de l'homme du métier comme par exemple une brosse, un pinceau, ou un embout en mousse, éventuellement floqué, une spatule, une tige capillaire.The applicator member can be of any type known to those skilled in the art, such as example a brush, a paint brush, or a foam tip, possibly flocked, a spatula, a capillary rod.

dispositif d'application 11 comprenant un capuchon 11.1, une tige 11.2 et une brosse
11.3.The mascara applicator shown in FIG. 1 comprises a
Le réservoir est constitué de façon connue d'un corps cylindrique 12.1, mais il peut être de toute autre forme en fonction du produit à appliquer. Il est surmonté d'un goulot 12.2 portant un filetage 12.2.1 et se terminant par un siège 12.2.2. The reservoir consists in a known manner of a cylindrical body 12.1, but it can be any other form depending on the product to be applied. It is surmounted by a neck 12.2 bearing a thread 12.2.1 and ending with a seat 12.2.2.
A l'intérieur du réservoir se trouve un organe d'essorage 12.3 qui est fixé au goulot 12.2 grâce à un bourrelet 12.3.1 qui coopère avec une rainure annulaire ménagée dans le goulot.Inside the tank is a wiping member 12.3 which is fixed to the neck 12.2 thanks to a bead 12.3.1 which cooperates with an annular groove formed in the neck.
Une brosse 11.3 est fixée à une première extrémité de la tige 11.2.1.A brush 11.3 is fixed to a first end of the rod 11.2.1.
La tige 11.2 est constituée d'une tige proprement dite 11.2.1, d'un organe d'étanchéité 11.2.2 et d'une rotule sensiblement sphérique 11.2.3 fixée à une seconde extrémité de la tige 11.2.1. La rotule comporte une cavité circulaire 11.2.4 de petite taille.The rod 11.2 consists of a rod proper 11.2.1, a sealing member 11.2.2 and a substantially spherical ball joint 11.2.3 fixed to a second end of the rod 11.2.1. The ball joint has a small circular cavity 11.2.4.
L'organe d'étanchéité 11.2.2 est constitué d'un joint annulaire ayant la forme d'un disque traversé par la tige 11.2.1. Le joint est placé près de la rotule 11.2.3.The sealing member 11.2.2 consists of an annular seal in the form of a disc crossed by the rod 11.2.1. The seal is placed near the ball joint 11.2.3.
Sur cette figure, l'organe d'étanchéité est un disque en matériau souple qui vient en application contre le bord libre 12.2.2 du goulot 12.2. Mais on peut prévoir que l'organe d'étanchéité soit constituée de tout autre moyen connu de l'homme du métier comme par exemple un cône en matériau déformable enfilé autour de la tige 11.2.1.In this figure, the sealing member is a disk made of flexible material which comes in application against the free edge 12.2.2 of the neck 12.2. But we can predict that the organ sealing is made up of any other means known to those skilled in the art such as example a cone of deformable material threaded around the rod 11.2.1.
On peut également prévoir que l'organe d'étanchéité soit fixé de façon connue sur le capuchon 11.1.It is also possible to provide that the sealing member is fixed in a known manner to the cap 11.1.

11.1.2 comporte un organe de retenue 11.1.4, complémentaire de la cavité 11.2.4.The cap 11.1 consists of a cylindrical body 11.1.1 comprising a housing
hollow 11.1.2 complementary to the ball joint 11.2.3 and a thread 11.1.3
complementary to the thread 12.2.1 of the neck 12.2 of the
L'organe de retenue 11.1.4 et la cavité 11.2.4 forment ensemble un frein au mouvement de la tige 11.2.1 autour du point d'articulation I.The retainer 11.1.4 and the cavity 11.2.4 together form a brake on movement of the rod 11.2.1 around the point of articulation I.
En position fermée de l'applicateur tel que représenté sur la figure 1, la brosse 11.3, la
tige 11.2.1 et le capuchon 11.1 sont alignés le long d'un axe central X-X. La brosse 11.3
et la partie y attenant de la tige 11.2.1 se trouvent à l'intérieur du réservoir. Le joint
11.2.2 repose contre le bord libre 12.2.2 du goulot 12.2. Le capuchon 11.1 est vissé de
façon étanche sur le goulot 12.2 du réservoir 12.In the closed position of the applicator as shown in FIG. 1, the brush 11.3, the
rod 11.2.1 and the cap 11.1 are aligned along a central axis X-X. The brush 11.3
and the adjoining part of the rod 11.2.1 are inside the tank. Gasket
11.2.2 rests against the free edge 12.2.2 of the neck 12.2. The cap 11.1 is screwed
sealingly on the neck 12.2 of the
Lorsque l'on extrait l'organe d'application 11.3 du réservoir, la brosse traverse l'essoreur 12.3 et est prête à être utilisée pour le maquillage des cils en position droite ou en utilisant le basculement de la tige 11.2.1 autour de la rotule 11.2.3.When the applicator member 11.3 is extracted from the reservoir, the brush passes through the wiper 12.3 and is ready to be used for making up the eyelashes in an upright position or in using the tilting of the rod 11.2.1 around the ball 11.2.3.
Le basculement de la rotule est freiné par l'organe de retenue 11.1.4 qui est logé dans la cavité 11.2.4 dans la configuration représentée à la figure 1.The tilting of the ball joint is braked by the retaining member 11.1.4 which is housed in the cavity 11.2.4 in the configuration shown in Figure 1.
Le dispositif d'application 21 représenté la figure 2 sans son réservoir associé se
distingue de celui représenté à la figure 1 par la présence d'un pinceau 21.3 à la place de
la brosse 11.3.The
Sur cette figure, la rotule 21.2.3 a pivoté dans le logement creux 21.1.2 autour de son point central I, la tige 21.2.1 et le pinceau 21.3 étant alignés suivant un axe Y-Y faisant un angle α avec l'axe X-X central du capuchon. In this figure, the ball joint 21.2.3 has pivoted in the hollow housing 21.1.2 around its central point I, the rod 21.2.1 and the brush 21.3 being aligned along an axis Y-Y making an angle α with the central X-X axis of the cap.
Le logement creux 21.1.2 comporte un rebord circulaire 21.1.2.1 qui limite les déplacements angulaires de la tige 21.2.1.The hollow housing 21.1.2 has a circular flange 21.1.2.1 which limits the angular displacements of the rod 21.2.1.
Ceci a pour conséquence que l'angle a est limité à des valeurs de préférence inférieures à 20°, l'amplitude du déplacement angulaire de la tige par rapport à l'axe (X-X) étant par conséquent limitée à des valeurs inférieures ou égales à 40°.This has the consequence that the angle a is limited to lower preference values at 20 °, the amplitude of the angular displacement of the rod relative to the axis (X-X) being by therefore limited to values less than or equal to 40 °.
On peut aussi prévoir que le déplacement angulaire soit limité par le rebord 21.1.3 situé à l'ouverture du capuchon 21.1, l'articulation étant située à l'intérieur du capuchon.We can also provide that the angular displacement is limited by the flange 21.1.3 located at the opening of the cap 21.1, the articulation being located inside the cap.
Ce dispositif est plus particulièrement destiné à l'application d'une composition de vernis à ongles.This device is more particularly intended for the application of a varnish composition nail.
Lorsque l'utilisateur met en oeuvre le dispositif d'application selon l'invention il peut l'utiliser en position droite : organe d'application, tige et capuchon alignés, ou en position inclinée. Lorsqu'il a fait basculer la tige par rapport au capuchon, il dispose d'une multitude de possibilités d'application en faisant tourner le capuchon autour de son axe central.When the user implements the application device according to the invention, he can use it in an upright position: applicator, rod and cap aligned, or in position tilted. When it has tilted the rod relative to the cap, it has a multitude of application possibilities by rotating the cap around its axis central.
De façon à mettre en évidence les caractéristiques du mouvement d'ouverture, on a limité la représentation des dispositifs d'application des figures 2 et 3 à leurs éléments essentiels.In order to highlight the characteristics of the opening movement, we have limited representation of the application devices of Figures 2 and 3 to their elements essentials.
La figure 3A représente l'ouverture d'un dispositif d'application de maquillage selon l'art antérieur.FIG. 3A represents the opening of a makeup application device according to the art prior.
Le dispositif de maquillage comporte un réservoir 32, comportant un essoreur 32.3 à
l'extrémité interne du goulot 32.2 et un dispositif d'application 31.The makeup device comprises a
L'utilisateur tient entre ses doigts le capuchon 31.1 sur lequel est fixé par emmanchement à force une tige 31.2 par une première extrémité. Un organe d'application, ici une brosse, 31.3 est fixée à la seconde extrémité de la tige. Le capuchon, la tige et l'organe d'application sont alignés sur un même axe X-X.The user holds between his fingers the cap 31.1 to which is fixed by force fitting a rod 31.2 through a first end. An organ application, here a brush, 31.3 is attached to the second end of the rod. The cap, rod and applicator member are aligned on the same axis X-X.
Lorsque l'utilisateur ôte le dispositif d'application 31 du réservoir 32, il décrit avec le
capuchon un mouvement circulaire représenté par la courbe (C). On constate que le
dispositif d'application et le réservoir font un angle β, qui varie au cours du mouvement.
La brosse est très essorée d'un côté et peu ou pas du tout de l'autre. On constate
également qu'elle va frotter sur le rebord 32.2 du goulot et donc le salir.When the user removes the
Au contraire, on constate qu'à l'ouverture du dispositif représenté à la figure 3B, le capuchon 31.1' pivote mais la tige 31.2' et la brosse 31.3' restent dans l'axe du réservoir 32'. Ainsi la brosse est essorée de façon homogène par l'essoreur 32.3' et elle ne dépose pas de salissures sur le rebord du goulot 32.2'.On the contrary, we note that when the device shown in FIG. 3B is opened, the cap 31.1 'pivots but the rod 31.2' and the brush 31.3 'remain in the axis of the tank 32 '. Thus the brush is wiped homogeneously by the wiper 32.3 'and it does not do not deposit dirt on the edge of the neck 32.2 '.
