Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a make-up set, more particularly intended for making up the eyelashes by means of an eyelash enhancer product, also called mascara, this make-up set making it possible to remove an amount of make-up product that the user can choose, for each application, according to their needs.

  • a certain amount of mascara is taken from the brush, which can then be applied to the eyelashes.

  • the diameter of this circular orifice must be less than the minimum diameter of the brush measured at the top of the bristles, so that the flexible lip which borders the orifice can exert a wringing action of the brush during the extraction of the latter. out of the container.
  • the quantity of mascara retained by the brush on each extraction of the rod from the container is substantially always the same.
  • the fact that the user cannot control the quantity of mascara retained each time by the brush often represents discomfort for him.
  • the makeup of the lower eyelashes generally requires less mascara than that of the upper eyelashes; moreover, the quantity of mascara applied during a make-up operation depends on the nature of the eyelashes to be made up as well as on the type of make-up desired.
  • the eyelashes to be made up can be more or less long, more or less thick and more or less close together, and, on the other hand, the user may wish to obtain a thick or light makeup with more separation. or less fine eyelashes.

  • the tubular sheath 222 comprises, between its free edge and the bottom 223, a cylindrical part 222a whose external diameter is slightly less than the internal diameter of the body 204, then, in its lower region, a cylindrical part 222b of smaller diameter, so as to be able to compensate for the thickness of the lateral wall of the sleeve 264, the parts 222a and 222b being joined by a shoulder 222c of frustoconical shape, widening towards the free opening of the reservoir 206.
  • the internal wall of the part 222a of the reservoir 206 comprises an annular bead 229, above which it has an annular recess 230 towards the outside.
  • the wiper 207, the ring 208, the cover 203, the rod 245 and the brush 244 are strictly identical to those of the first embodiment described. Their elements bear reference numbers 200 greater than those of similar elements of this first embodiment.
  • the assembly of the makeup assembly 201 is carried out like that of the assembly 101. If the screwing is carried out thoroughly, as is the case shown in FIG. 8, the rib 267 is in abutment against the edge of the the counterbore 268 which is close to the bottom 261 of the ring 205, and the free edge of the latter comes close to the rib 274 of the sleeve 264.
  • the adjustment ring 205 has, in this position, by the free end of the projection 277, completely pushed the reservoir 206 inside the body d 'covering 204 by causing it to translate towards the wiper member 207, and consequently the maximum compression of the ring 232 b dudft wiper member 207.
  • a movement of unscrewing the adjustment ring 205 causes the reverse translation movement of the reservoir 206 which remains constantly pressed against the free end of the projection 277 by the elastic force exerted on it by the wiping member 207 .
  • the orifice 280 of average diameter then the orifice 281 of larger diameter come successively opposite the lug 275, which indicates that the wiper member 207 is respectively in a position of medium axial compression, then in a minimum axial compression position.
  • the container 202 which has just been made up is filled with mascara and then the cap 203 is fixed, from which the rod 244 carrying the brush 245 has been made integral, by screwing onto the neck 210 of the body 204.
  • the wiping lip 232 When the brush 245 is extracted from the reservoir 206 while the adjustment ring 205 is in a position such that the orifice 281 is located in line with the lug 275, the wiping lip 232 is in a position where it will ensure a minimal force spin, which means that the amount of mascara collected by the brush will be maximum.
  • the user therefore associates the idea of an opening 281 of larger diameter with a maximum opening of the wiping lip 232, therefore with makeup with a large amount of mascara.
