Definitions
- the invention relates to a brush for applying a makeup product, in particular for applying a mascara to the eyelashes or a dye to the hair, a brush of the kind which includes a multitude of bristles trapped in the turns of at least two branches of a metallic wire twisted in a helix, which form the soul of the brush.
- a product tank which comprises, in the upper part, a wringing device.
- the wringing causes the product to be released onto the area of the bristles located radially beyond a given diameter, which depends in particular on the diameter of the passage of the wiper and the rigidity of this wringer.
- the bristles generally form a substantially helical sheet and the ends of the bristles are arranged in the form of a whorl, so that the eyelashes or the hair cannot easily penetrate inside the sheet formed by the bristles of the brush. .
- the makeup is not always carried out in good conditions and may require a relatively long time if it is desired to attenuate the defects caused by the brush itself and the manner in which it has been wrung.
- the object of the invention is, above all, to provide a brush, for applying a makeup product, of the kind defined above which no longer exhibits or to a lesser degree the drawbacks mentioned above and which, in particular, after wringing retains bristles, the ends of which remain loaded with makeup products, and, when in use, allow spread the product well.
- a brush for applying a make-up product in particular for applying a mascara to the eyelashes or a dye to the hair, of the kind defined above, is characterized in that the bristles of the brush have a flat cross section , that is to say a section whose large dimension is at least equal to twice the small dimension, and at most equal to five times this small dimension, and that the hairs are twisted.
- the twist of the bristles is obtained during tightening and helical twisting of the branches of the metal wire forming the core of the brush.
- the bristles may have a rectangular section, in particular with rounded corners.
- the short side of the rectangular section may have a dimension of the order of eight hundredths of a millimeter (0.08 mm), while the long side may have a dimension of the order of twenty hundredths of a millimeter (0.20 mm) ).
- the bristles with a rectangular section may comprise, on at least one of their large faces corresponding to the long side of the section, at least one rib oriented substantially in the longitudinal direction of the bristle; the rib (s) are not taken into account for the small dimension of the cross section of the hair.
- the bristles have an oval cross section.
- the major axis of the sections of the bristle is oriented differently along the entire length; this results in a different flexibility from one pile to another in a given direction, due to the different orientation of each pile.
- the ends of these hairs are no longer arranged in the form of a whorl but diverge from each other.
- the wiping of the flat bristles depends on their orientation so that on the brush, after wringing, it is possible to find bristles more or less loaded with product, in particular towards their end remote from the core.
- a mascara applicator assembly 1 comprising a reservoir 2 which contains a product of liquid to pasty consistency. This reservoir is surmounted by a cap 3 to which is connected a rod 4 carrying a brush 5 for applying the makeup product.
- a circular wiping lip 6, made of flexible material, is provided in the vicinity of an introduction chimney 7.
- the brush 5 comprises a multitude of bristles 8 wedged in the turns of two branches 9, 10 of a metal wire, twisted in a helix and forming the core of the brush.
- the branches 9 and 10 are, at the beginning, formed by parallel rectilinear branches of a U obtained by bending at 180 ° a metal wire, in particular an iron wire.
- the bristles 8 are placed between the rectilinear branches along a sheet situated in a plane substantially orthogonal to the plane of these branches; the latter are then twisted as shown in FIG. 1 so as to trap the bristles 8 between them, the middle part of which is wedged between the turns of the two branches 9 and 10.
- the bristles 8 of the brush according to the invention have a flat cross section, that is to say that the large dimension 1 of this section is at least twice the small dimension e , and at most equal to five times this small dimension e . So we have the relation: 2 e ⁇ 1 ⁇ 5 e .
- each bristle 8 undergoes a twist around its longitudinal axis, that is to say that its cross section progressively rotates in the direction of the length of the hair, as has been shown briefly in Figures 2 to 4. Therefore, the major axis of a cross section of the hair is oriented differently along the entire length of this hair. The flexibilities of the bristles in a given direction will be different due to the different orientations of the cross sections.
- the cross section of the bristles 8 can be rectangular as shown in FIG. 2. Preferably, the angles are rounded.
- the small dimension e can be of the order of eight hundredths of millimeter (0.08 mm) while the large dimension 1 of the cross section can be of the order of twenty hundredths of a millimeter (0.20 mm).
- the flat bristles of rectangular section may comprise, on at least one of their large faces, corresponding to the long side of the section, at least one rib such as 12 (FIG. 3).
- This rib 12 may have a substantially semi-circular section, convex towards the outside.
- a rib 12 is provided in the middle of each large face of the hair. It is important to note that in the definition of a flat pile the dimension or thickness of the rib is not to be taken into account to determine the small dimension of the cross section; for this reason, the dimension e in FIG. 3 corresponds to the thickness of the hair outside the ribs 12.
- FIG. 4 corresponds to bristles 8 admitting an oval cross section, the small dimension e and the large dimension 1 of which satisfy the definition of the flat section given above.
- FIG. 5 there is shown two ends 11a, 11b of two bristles oriented differently.
- the end 11a has a section whose large dimension is substantially parallel to the axis of the brush and the rod 4, while the end 11b has a section whose large dimension is substantially orthogonal to the axis of the rod 4.
- Spinning occurs when the brush is removed from the reservoir, that is to say for a displacement of the brush and the bristles, relative to the wiper 6, in the direction of the arrow E substantially parallel to the stem axis 4.
- the bristles 8 are loaded with product in a substantially uniform manner along their entire length.
- the friction of the wiper 6 will occur essentially according to the zone 13, that is to say along a large face of the section; zones such as 14 corresponding to the short sides of the section will hardly be spun. In other words, on the face 13 a lot of product will be removed during the spin, while on the faces 14, the spin is weak and the product remains on the hair.
- the bristles 8b undergo greater dewatering because these bristles, in the direction E, have a relatively high flexibility.
- the brush will have bristles more or less loaded according to their twist, and according to the orientations of the end sections.
- the bristles such as 8 b are presented in the hard direction, since they offer a higher flexural strength in the direction M than the bristles 8 a . These hairs 8B essentially contribute to comb eyelashes spreading and smoothing the product deposited by the bristles 8a.
- FIG. 5 is a simplified diagram, and that in reality one can find a range of orientation of the bristles varying between the two extreme orientations represented in FIG. 5.
- the explanations provided remain valid, by introducing a modulation depending on the orientation of the section of the hair considered.
- the brush according to the invention makes it possible to obtain a make-up with a new appearance, and makes it possible to avoid the drawbacks mentioned at the beginning of the description encountered in particular with brushes whose bristles have circular sections.
- a flat section includes sections whose faces are not necessarily planar, as is the case for the variants of FIGS. 3 and 4.
- Another variant, not shown in the drawing, can be constituted by a flat section in the shape of a slight "V", that is to say one side of which forms a convex dihedral with a large opening, and the other side of which forms the corresponding concave dihedral.

Abstract
Description
L'invention est relative à une brosse pour appliquer un produit de maquillage, en particulier pour appliquer un mascara sur les cils ou une teinture sur les cheveux, brosse du genre de celles qui comprennent une multitude de poils coincés dans les spires d'au moins deux branches d'un fil métallique torsadées en hélice, qui forment l'âme de la brosse.The invention relates to a brush for applying a makeup product, in particular for applying a mascara to the eyelashes or a dye to the hair, a brush of the kind which includes a multitude of bristles trapped in the turns of at least two branches of a metallic wire twisted in a helix, which form the soul of the brush.
On sait que de telles brosses sont destinées à être placées dans un réservoir de produit, qui comporte, en partie haute, un dispositif d'essorage. Dans les brosses actuelles, munies de poils à section circulaire, l'essorage provoque le largage du produit sur la zone des poils située radialement au-delà d'un diamètre donné, qui dépend notamment du diamètre du passage de l'essoreur et de la rigidité de cet essoreur. En outre, les poils forment généralement une nappe sensiblement hélicoïdale et les extrémités des poils sont arrangées en forme de spire, de sorte que les cils ou les cheveux ne peuvent pas pénétrer facilement à l'intérieur de la nappe formée par les poils de la brosse.We know that such brushes are intended to be placed in a product tank, which comprises, in the upper part, a wringing device. In current brushes, provided with bristles of circular section, the wringing causes the product to be released onto the area of the bristles located radially beyond a given diameter, which depends in particular on the diameter of the passage of the wiper and the rigidity of this wringer. In addition, the bristles generally form a substantially helical sheet and the ends of the bristles are arranged in the form of a whorl, so that the eyelashes or the hair cannot easily penetrate inside the sheet formed by the bristles of the brush. .
Il en résulte que le maquillage ne s'effectue pas toujours dans de bonnes conditions et peut nécessiter un temps relativement élevé si l'on veut atténuer les défauts engendrés par la brosse elle-même et la manière dont elle a été essorée.As a result, the makeup is not always carried out in good conditions and may require a relatively long time if it is desired to attenuate the defects caused by the brush itself and the manner in which it has been wrung.
L'invention a pour but, surtout, de fournir une brosse, pour appliquer un produit de maquillage, du genre défini précédemment qui ne présente plus ou à un degré moindre les inconvénients rappelés ci-dessus et qui, en particulier, après essorage conserve des poils dont les extrémités restent chargées en produits de maquillage, et, lors de l'utilisation, permette de bien étaler le produit.The object of the invention is, above all, to provide a brush, for applying a makeup product, of the kind defined above which no longer exhibits or to a lesser degree the drawbacks mentioned above and which, in particular, after wringing retains bristles, the ends of which remain loaded with makeup products, and, when in use, allow spread the product well.
Selon l'invention, une brosse pour appliquer un produit de maquillage, notamment pour appliquer un mascara sur les cils ou une teinture sur les cheveux, du genre défini précédemment, est caractérisée par le fait que les poils de la brosse ont une section transversale plate, c'est-à-dire une section dont la grande dimension est au moins égale au double de la petite dimension, et au plus égale à cinq fois cette petite dimension, et que les poils sont vrillés.According to the invention, a brush for applying a make-up product, in particular for applying a mascara to the eyelashes or a dye to the hair, of the kind defined above, is characterized in that the bristles of the brush have a flat cross section , that is to say a section whose large dimension is at least equal to twice the small dimension, and at most equal to five times this small dimension, and that the hairs are twisted.
De préférence, le vrillage des poils est obtenu lors du serrage et de la torsion en hélice des branches du fil métallique formant l'âme de la brosse.Preferably, the twist of the bristles is obtained during tightening and helical twisting of the branches of the metal wire forming the core of the brush.
Les poils peuvent avoir une section rectangulaire, notamment avec des angles arrondis. Le petit côté de la section rectangulaire peut avoir une dimension de l'ordre de huit centièmes de millimètre (0,08 mm), tandis que le grand côté peut avoir une dimension de l'ordre de vingt centièmes de millimètre (0,20 mm).The bristles may have a rectangular section, in particular with rounded corners. The short side of the rectangular section may have a dimension of the order of eight hundredths of a millimeter (0.08 mm), while the long side may have a dimension of the order of twenty hundredths of a millimeter (0.20 mm) ).
En variante, les poils à section rectangulaire peuvent comporter sur au moins une de leurs grandes faces correspondant au grand côté de la section, au moins une nervure orientée sensiblement suivant la direction longitudinale du poil ; la ou les nervures ne sont pas prises en considération pour la petite dimension de la section transversale du poil.As a variant, the bristles with a rectangular section may comprise, on at least one of their large faces corresponding to the long side of the section, at least one rib oriented substantially in the longitudinal direction of the bristle; the rib (s) are not taken into account for the small dimension of the cross section of the hair.
Selon une autre variante, les poils ont une section transversale ovale.According to another variant, the bristles have an oval cross section.
En raison du vrillage des poils plats, selon l'invention, le grand axe des sections du poil est orienté différemment suivant toute la longueur ; il en résulte une flexibilité différente d'un poil à l'autre dans une direction donnée, en raison de l'orientation différente de chaque poil. Les extrémités de ces poils ne sont plus arrangées en forme de spire mais divergent les unes des autres. En outre l'essorage des poils plats dépend de leur orientation de telle sorte que sur la brosse, après essorage, on pourra trouver des poils plus ou moins chargés en produit, notamment vers leur extrémité éloignée de l'âme.Due to the twisting of flat bristles, according to the invention, the major axis of the sections of the bristle is oriented differently along the entire length; this results in a different flexibility from one pile to another in a given direction, due to the different orientation of each pile. The ends of these hairs are no longer arranged in the form of a whorl but diverge from each other. In addition, the wiping of the flat bristles depends on their orientation so that on the brush, after wringing, it is possible to find bristles more or less loaded with product, in particular towards their end remote from the core.
L'invention consiste, mises à part les dispositions exposées ci-dessus, en un certain nombre d'autres dispositions dont il sera plus explicitement question ci-après à propos de modes de réalisation particuliers décrits avec référence au dessin ci-annexé, mais qui ne sont nullement limitatifs.
- La figure 1, de ce dessin, est une vue en coupe axiale d'une brosse pour appliquer un produit de maquillage, conforme à l'invention, montée dans un réservoir de produit.
- Les figures 2 à 4 représentent diverses formes de section transversale de poils plats.
- La figure 5, enfin est un schéma simplifié, en coupe de poils orientés différemment dans la brosse, destiné à faciliter les explications relatives à l'essorage et à l'utilisation.
- Figure 1 of this drawing is an axial sectional view of a brush for applying a makeup product, according to the invention, mounted in a product reservoir.
- Figures 2 to 4 show various cross-sectional shapes of flat bristles.
- Figure 5, finally, is a simplified diagram, in section of bristles oriented differently in the brush, intended to facilitate explanations relating to spinning and use.
En se reportant à la figure 1 du dessin, on peut voir un ensemble applicateur de mascara 1 comprenant un réservoir 2 qui contient un produit de consistance liquide à pâteuse. Ce réservoir est surmonté d'un capuchon 3 auquel est liée une tige 4 portant une brosse 5 d'application du produit de maquillage. Une lèvre d'essorage 6 circulaire, en matériau souple, est prévue au voisinage d'une cheminée d'introduction 7.Referring to Figure 1 of the drawing, one can see a
La brosse 5 comprend une multitude de poils 8 coincés dans les spires de deux branches 9, 10 d'un fil métallique, torsadées en hélice et formant l'âme de la brosse.The
Généralement, pour la fabrication de la brosse, les branches 9 et 10 sont, au début, formées par des branches rectilignes parallèles d'un U obtenu en recourbant à 180° un fil métallique, notamment un fil de fer. Les poils 8 sont placés entre les branches rectilignes suivant une nappe située dans un plan sensiblement orthogonal au plan de ces branches ; ces dernières sont ensuite torsadées comme représenté sur la figure 1 de manière à emprisonner entre elles les poils 8 dont la partie médiane est coincée entre les spires des deux branches 9 et 10.Generally, for the manufacture of the brush, the
Comme visible sur les figures 2 à 4, les poils 8 de la brosse selon l'invention ont une section transversale plate, c'est-à-dire que la grande dimension 1 de cette section est au moins égale au double de la petite dimension e, et au plus égale à cinq fois cette petite dimension e. On a donc la relation : 2e ≦ 1 ≦ 5e.As can be seen in FIGS. 2 to 4, the
Avec des poils 8 ayant une telle section plate, lors du serrage et de la torsion en hélice des branches 9 et 10, chaque poil 8 subit un vrillage autour de son axe longitudinal, c'est-à-dire que sa section transversale tourne progressivement suivant la direction de la longueur du poil, comme cela a été réprésenté sommairement sur les figures 2 à 4. De ce fait, le grand axe d'une section transversale du poil est orienté différemment suivant toute la longueur de ce poil. Les flexibilités des poils dans une direction donnée seront différentes en raison des orientations différentes des sections transversales.With
Les extrémités telles que 11, des poils 8, situées radialement vers l'extérieur ne suivent plus exactement la forme d'une spire mais divergent les unes par rapport aux autres.The ends such as 11, of the
La section transversale des poils 8 peut être rectangulaire comme représenté sur la figure 2. De préférence, les angles sont arrondis. La petite dimension e peut être de l'ordre de huit centièmes de millimètre (0,08 mm) tandis que la grande dimension 1 de la section transversale peut être de l'ordre de vingt centièmes de millimètre (0,20 mm).The cross section of the
En variante, les poils plats de section rectangulaire peuvent comporter, sur au moins une de leurs grandes faces, correspondant au grand côté de la section, au moins une nervure telle que 12 (figure 3). Cette nervure 12 peut avoir une section sensiblement semi-circulaire, convexe vers l'extérieur. De préférence, une nervure 12 est prévue au milieu de chaque grande face du poil. Il importe de noter que dans la définition d'un poil plat la dimension ou épaisseur de la nervure n'est pas à prendre en considération pour déterminer la petite dimension de la section transversale ; pour cette raison, la dimension e sur la figure 3 correspond à l'épaisseur du poil en dehors des nervures 12.As a variant, the flat bristles of rectangular section may comprise, on at least one of their large faces, corresponding to the long side of the section, at least one rib such as 12 (FIG. 3). This
La variante de la figure 4 correspond à des poils 8 admettant une section transversale ovale, dont la petite dimension e et la grande dimension 1 satisfont à la définition de la section plate donnée précédemment.The variant of FIG. 4 corresponds to bristles 8 admitting an oval cross section, the small dimension e and the
On va comparer, maintenant, l'essorage d'une brosse classique comportant des poils à section transversale circulaire et l'essorage d'une brosse conforme à l'invention.We will now compare the spin of a conventional brush with bristles of circular cross section and the spin of a brush according to the invention.
Dans une brosse classique ayant des poils à section transversale circulaire, l'essorage se produit suivant une surface tangente aux poils inclinés, spire par spire, une spire poussant la suivante. Le produit dont s'était chargée la brosse dans le réservoir 2 reste au voisinage de l'âme formée par les branches 9 et 10 ; au-delà d'un diamètre donné, dépendant du diamètre de l'essoreur 6 et de sa flexibilité, les poils sont pratiquement tous déchargés de produit.In a conventional brush having bristles with a circular cross section, the wringing takes place along a surface tangent to the inclined bristles, turn by turn, one turn pushing the next. The product with which the brush had taken charge in the
Avec une brosse conforme à l'invention comportant des poils 8, plats et vrillés, lors de l'essorage, les poils qui ne forment plus véritablement des spires ne se rabattent pas les uns sur les autres. Du fait des orientations différentes des sections transversales des poils, les effets de l'essorage seront différents.With a brush according to the
On se reportera à la figure 5 pour des explications plus détaillées. Sur cette figure, on a représenté deux extrémités 11a, 11b de deux poils orientées différemment. L'extrémité 11a présente une section dont la grande dimension est sensiblement parallèle à l'axe de la brosse et de la tige 4, tandis que l'extrémité 11b présente une section dont la grande dimension est sensiblement orthogonale à l'axe de la tige 4.Refer to Figure 5 for more detailed explanations. In this figure, there is shown two
L'essorage se produit lors du retrait de la brosse du réservoir, c'est-à-dire pour un déplacement de la brosse et des poils, par rapport à l'essoreur 6, suivant la direction de la flèche E sensiblement parallèle à l'axe de la tige 4.Spinning occurs when the brush is removed from the reservoir, that is to say for a displacement of the brush and the bristles, relative to the wiper 6, in the direction of the arrow E substantially parallel to the stem axis 4.
Par contre, lors de l'utilisation et du maquillage, le déplacement de la brosse et des poils par rapport aux cils s'effectue sensiblement suivant la direction de la double flèche M orthogonale à l'axe de la tige 4.On the other hand, during use and make-up, the displacement of the brush and of the bristles relative to the eyelashes takes place substantially in the direction of the double arrow M orthogonal to the axis of the rod 4.
Lorsque la brosse se trouve dans le réservoir 2, les poils 8 se chargent en produit de manière sensiblement uniforme suivant toute leur longueur.When the brush is in the
Lors du retrait de la brosse du réservoir 2, suivant le sens de la flèche E sur la figure 5, l'essorage se produit par frottement de l'essoreur 6 contre les poils.When removing the brush from the
Pour les poils 8a dont les extrémités ont des sections orientées tel que 11a, le frottement de l'essoreur 6 va se produire essentiellement suivant la zone 13, c'est-à-dire suivant une grande face de la section ; les zones telles que 14 correspondant aux petits côtés de la section ne subiront pratiquement pas d'essorage. Autrement dit, sur la face 13 beaucoup de produit sera enlevé lors de l'essorage, tandis que sur les faces 14, l'essorage est faible et le produit demeure sur le poil.For the
Les poils 8b dont les sections d'extrémité sont orientées comme la section 11b de la figure 5 subissent un essorage plus important du fait que ces poils, suivant la direction E, présentent une souplesse relativement élevée.The bristles 8b , the end sections of which are oriented like the
Finalement, après l'essorage, la brosse comportera des poils plus ou moins chargés selon leur vrillage, et selon les orientations des sections d'extrémité.Finally, after spinning, the brush will have bristles more or less loaded according to their twist, and according to the orientations of the end sections.
Lors de l'utilisation de la brosse pour le maquillage, utilisation qui s'effectue avec déplacements sensiblement suivant la direction M, les poils tels que 8a présentent une souplesse relativement grande suivant la direction M. Les zones 14 de ces poils étant chargées en produit, ces poils assureront le dépôt du produit sur les cils, et la souplesse qu'ils présentent est avantageuse pour un tel dépôt.When using the brush for makeup, use that occurs with movement substantially in the direction M, hairs such as 8 to have a relatively large flexibility in direction M. The
Les poils tels que 8b se présentent dans le sens dur, puisqu'ils offrent une résistance à la flexion suivant la direction M plus élevée que les poils 8a. Ces poils 8b contribueront essentiellement à peigner les cils en étalant et en lissant le produit déposé par les poils 8a.The bristles such as 8 b are presented in the hard direction, since they offer a higher flexural strength in the direction M than the
Il est clair que le schéma de la figure 5 est un schéma simplifié, et qu'en réalité on peut trouver une gamme d'orientation des poils variant entre les deux orientations extrêmes représentées sur la figure 5. Les explications fournies restent valables, en introduisant une modulation dépendant de l'orientation de la section du poil considérée.It is clear that the diagram in FIG. 5 is a simplified diagram, and that in reality one can find a range of orientation of the bristles varying between the two extreme orientations represented in FIG. 5. The explanations provided remain valid, by introducing a modulation depending on the orientation of the section of the hair considered.
La brosse conforme à l'invention permet d'obtenir un maquillage d'aspect nouveau, et permet d'éviter les inconvénients rappelés au début de la description rencontrés notamment avec des brosses dont les poils ont des sections circulaires.The brush according to the invention makes it possible to obtain a make-up with a new appearance, and makes it possible to avoid the drawbacks mentioned at the beginning of the description encountered in particular with brushes whose bristles have circular sections.
Il est clair que la définition d'une section plate, selon l'invention, englobe des sections dont les faces ne sont pas nécessairement planes, comme c'est le cas pour les variantes des figures 3 et 4. Une autre variante, non représentée sur le dessin, peut être constituée par une section plate en forme de léger "V", c'est-à-dire dont une face forme un dièdre convexe de grande ouverture, et dont l'autre face forme le dièdre concave correspondant.It is clear that the definition of a flat section according to the invention includes sections whose faces are not necessarily planar, as is the case for the variants of FIGS. 3 and 4. Another variant, not shown in the drawing, can be constituted by a flat section in the shape of a slight "V", that is to say one side of which forms a convex dihedral with a large opening, and the other side of which forms the corresponding concave dihedral.
