Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new applicator device for nail polish and other similar liquid products.
  • Nail varnish is most often applied using a brush fixed inside the closure cap of the bottle containing the varnish.
  • This arrangement has a number of drawbacks.
  • Vials containing varnish are often unstable and there is therefore a risk that they may be accidentally spilled when opened.
  • the bottle is open to the atmosphere, which causes the highly volatile solvent to evaporate, which keeps the varnish in an acceptable state of fluidity to be spread.
  • the nail varnish even sufficiently liquid to be able to circulate by capillarity in the wick, forms successive layers on the valve which quickly ceases to be waterproof.
  • the varnish is also deposited on the spring and are seat, which has the effect of modifying the characteristics and thus further harm the sealing of the valve.
  • the wick is moreover deformed by the pressure necessary to lift the valve.
  • the invention eliminates the drawbacks mentioned above.
  • the applicator device for nail varnish and similar liquid products arranged in a container provided with a wick applicator is characterized in that the neck of the container is provided with a support piece in the form of a socket having near its bottom at least one lumen, the opening of which is controlled by a sliding sleeve containing a wick protruding above the upper end of this sleeve.
  • the device comprises a container 1 of any shape which is provided with a charge of the product to be applied, for example a nail varnish in diluted form.
  • a mixing member 2, for example a ball, is advantageously placed in the container 1 to ensure, by shaking, the mixing of the constituents of the product to be applied, in particular the homogenization of the pigments.
  • the container 1 forms at its upper part a neck 3 which can come from molding when the container 1 is made of plastic.
  • the neck 3 is advantageously made by shrinking.
  • the neck forms external protrusions 4, for example rings, and it is advantageous that corresponding grooves 5 are formed from the internal wall of the neck.
  • the neck 3 is used for fixing a support piece 6 in the form of a socket which has a shoulder 7 which comes to bear on the top of the neck.
  • the part or socket 6 is immobilized in the neck by projecting parts engaged by force or otherwise fixed in the grooves 5 to prevent relative movements of said part 6 relative to the container 1.
  • the lower part of the part 6 projects inside the container 1 and has lateral openings 8 as well as a drain hole 9 formed at its lowest part.
  • the part 6 delimits an internal cavity 10, preferably cylindrical, but which could be of polygonal section.
  • the cavity 10 is of cylindrical section it has at least one longitudinal groove 11.
  • the internal cavity 10 of the part 6 is used for housing the lower part of a sleeve 12 forming a cartridge.
  • the sleeve 12 is engaged in the piece 6 with gentle friction and advantageously comprises, at its lower part, segments or reclous lips 13 whose function is explained in the following.
  • the lower part of the sleeve 12 is open and defines a bearing surface 14 forming a retaining element for a wick 15 of porous material, for example synthetic resin foam with open cells or fibers or any other material having capillary properties for the products contained in container 1.
  • a wick 15 of porous material for example synthetic resin foam with open cells or fibers or any other material having capillary properties for the products contained in container 1.
  • the part 6 in the form of a socket delimits, at its upper part disposed above the neck 3, a retaining groove 16 for a sheath 17 having a ring 18 forcibly engaged in the groove 16.
  • the sheath 17 has, internally, a collar 19 disposed on the top of the part 6, this collar closing the upper part of the groove (s) 11 and serving of abutment to one or more keys or ribs 20 that comprises the sleeve 12.
  • the inner wall of the sheath 17 has above the collar 19, a thread 21, for example with square threads.
  • a finger 22 capable of forming a segment of the thread is formed from the external wall of the sleeve 12 is engaged with the internal thread 21 which extends to an internal shoulder 23 of the sleeve 17.
  • the external wall of the sheath 17 is smooth and is guided with gentle friction in a nozzle 24 of the sheath 17, a nozzle which is extended by a flared mouth 25.
  • the device also comprises a cap 26 the bottom of the skirt 27 of which forms protuberances 28 corresponding to the protuberances 4 on which they can be snapped on by elastic deformation of the skirt 27.
  • the top 29 of the cap has internally a conical end piece 30 intended to be applied in a sealed manner between the wall of the flared mouth 25.
  • Fig. 1 shows that the wick 15 has a greater length than that of the sleeve 12 forming the cartridge which contains it so that it protrudes notably above this sleeve.
  • Fig. 1 shows the device in the rest position for which the sleeve 12 forming a cartridge closes both the side lights 8 and the drain holes 9. It follows that the liquid product which is in the container is isolated from wick 15 and is kept away from atmospheric air.
  • the cap 26 When the cap 26 is in place, it completely covers the neck, the sheath 17 and the upper end of the wick 15.
  • the conical tip 30 being applied against the wall of the flared mouth 25, this ensures a sufficient seal for that the wick 15 is completely isolated from atmospheric air and, therefore, the solution which can impregnate it cannot evaporate. Isolation from the atmosphere is still perfect by the connection existing between the bottom of the skirt 27 of the cap 26 and the neck 3.
  • the operator When it is desired to use the applicator device, for example to spread nail varnish, the operator exerts traction on the cap 26 to remove it in the manner of a plug. The operator then rotates the sheath 17, the ring 18 of which is held and guided in the retaining groove 16.
  • the rotation of the sheath 17 has the effect of moving the finger 22 in the thread 21 and, consequently, of lifting the sleeve 12.
  • the movement of the sleeve 12 is linear because it is prevented from rotating due to the existence of the or keys 20 in the groove or grooves 11.
  • the same result is obtained if the sleeve 12 has, in section, the shape of a polygon and if the internal cavity 10 of the support part 6 has a complementary shape.
  • the displacement of the sleeve or cartridge 12 has the effect of causing that of the wick 15 which comes to occupy the position illustrated in FIG. 3 for which the light 8 and the drain hole 9 are discovered.
  • the liquid product which it contains passes through the openings 8 and enters the interior of the cavity 10 of the part 6, which allows it to impregnate the wick 15 since the sleeve 12 is open at its base.
  • the liquid product is thus brought by capillarity to the protruding end of the wick 15 and it can therefore be applied at any desired location.
  • the wick 15 is returned to its initial position by rotating the sheath 17 in the opposite direction.
  • the rotation of the sheath 17 causes the sleeve 12 to slide, which has the effect of pushing back the liquid product which may still be in the internal cavity 10 after the container 1 has been brought back to a substantially vertical position.
  • the scraper segments or lips 13 with which the sleeve 12 is provided completely clean the internal wall of the cavity 10.
