Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an applicator assembly, intended in particular for making up the eyelashes, comprising an applicator element fixed to a rod.
  • the applicator assemblies used up to now, in particular for applying mascara to the eyelashes comprise a reservoir intended to contain the product to be applied, in particular the mascara, in liquid or pasty form and an applicator constituted by a removable cap.
  • an applicator constituted by a removable cap.
  • Said applicator element is often a brush but it can also be formed by a "feather", a brush or an element made of plastic foam or felt.
  • the opening of the reservoir is generally bordered by a wiping lip made of flexible material which plunges into the reservoir. In the rest or storage position, that is to say when the cap is fixed to the reservoir, the applicator element and at least part of the rod are immersed in the reservoir.
  • the cap When it is desired to apply the product, the cap is separated from the reservoir and, at the same time, the rod and the applicator element are removed from the reservoir. A certain quantity of product is thus taken from the applicator element and the wiping lip, during the withdrawal movement of the reservoir rod, eliminates the excess product withdrawn by the applicator element inside of the tank.
  • the rod carrying the applicator element which is in contact with the product to be applied, when the applicator is in closed position, carries after a certain time of use traces of product, which are not eliminated by the spinning lip.
  • the rod thus has, after a certain time of use, an unkempt appearance.
  • the user risks getting his fingers dirty if he wishes to hold the applicator by the rod, at a location closer to the applicator element, so as to improve the precision of the application.
  • the user does not risk getting his fingers dirty, but the application is not precise.
  • the present invention relates to an applicator assembly which allows the applicator to be grasped at a point close to the applicator element without dirtying the fingers and prevents traces of product remaining on the rod.
  • a tubular device which is contained in the cap in the rest position and which slides on the rod under the action of an elastic element when passing from the rest position to the application position and covers at least partially the rod in the application position.
  • the present invention relates to an applicator assembly, intended in particular for making up the eyelashes, comprising an applicator element fixed on a rod, which applicator assembly comprises a reservoir containing the product to be applied in liquid or pasty form and an applicator constituted by a removable cap and a rod carrying the applicator element fixed to the cap, the reservoir comprising an orifice bordered by a wiping lip plunging into said reservoir, the cap being on the one hand, in the rest position, fixed on the reservoir, the applicator element then plunging into said reservoir, and on the other hand, an application position, separated from the reservoir, the applicator element then being entirely extended of said reservoir, characterized in that a tubular device having the same axis as the rod is mounted inside the cap and is subjected to the action of an elastic means, said tubular device comprising, at least at its end furthest from the cap, a scraper element with an inside diameter equal to the operating clearance, to the outside diameter of the rod, so that it can slide thereon, the
  • any quantity of product to be applied which is deposited on the rod of the applicator is cleaned by the scraping element, during its movement on the rod.
  • the rod is covered, over at least part of its length, by the tubular device. The latter never crossing the wiping lip, is never in direct contact with the product packaged in the tank and therefore cannot be soiled by traces of product to be applied. The user therefore does not risk getting their fingers dirty when he grasps the applicator by the tubular device.
  • the tubular device consists of a single piece.
  • it is preferably formed at its end furthest from the bottom of the cap of a scraper element with an internal diameter equal, apart from the operating clearance, to the external diameter of the rod and, at its end closest to the bottom of the cap of a tubular element with a diameter greater than that of the scraper element, the two elements being connected by a shoulder which abuts with the opening of the reservoir when the applicator element is in the rest position, and the element of larger diameter comprising, at its end closest to the cap, an annular collar on which the spring bears and which abuts against an internal shoulder of the cap in the application position.
  • the tubular device consists of two telescopic parts.
  • a first of the two telescopic parts constitutes the scraper element, said scraper element being subjected to the action of the elastic means and comprising an annular lug turned outwards which abuts on the edge of the reservoir in rest position
  • the second telescopic part which has a larger diameter than the scraper element, carries at its end on the cap side, a flange which, in the application position, comes to bear on a corresponding stop of the cap, l end closest to the cap of the scraper element and the end furthest from the cap of the second telescopic part being provided with annular flanges cooperating when the assembly is in the application position.
  • the elastic means is preferably a helical spring.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 represent a set of mascara applicators which is generally designated by the reference 1. It consists of a reservoir 2, the opening of which is bordered by a wiping lip 8 and a cap 3. A brush 4 is fixed by means of a rod 5 to the cap 3. Inside the cap is placed a tubular device 6 which is subjected to the action of a helical spring 7. These different parts have a longitudinal axis, which coincides with the axis of the rod when the applicator assembly is in the rest position.
  • the cap 3 comprises an outer casing 31 of cylindrical shape provided with a bottom 31 a .
  • a cylindrical sleeve 32 having the same length as the external envelope 31.
  • This sleeve 32 is internally provided, at its part near the free edge of the external envelope 31, with a pitch of internal screw 32 a , of a circular shoulder 32 b located above above the thread 32 a and at its part close to the bottom of the outer casing 31 of an annular groove 32 c .
  • the rod 5 carries, at its end opposite the brush 4, a flat disc 51 perpendicular to the axis of the rod and having an outside diameter just less than the inside diameter of the sleeve 32.
  • Said disc 51 carries a cylindrical skirt 52 directed towards the bottom of the cap, also having an outside diameter just smaller than the inside diameter of the sleeve 32, and provided with an annular bead 52 a cooperating with the annular groove 32 c for fixing the rod 5 in the sleeve 32.
  • the disc 51 carries another cylindrical skirt 53 directed towards the opening of the cap 3, having a diameter less than the diameter of the flat part 51, so as to provide an annular shoulder 54, on which the helical spring 7 is supported.
  • the reservoir 2 consists of a bottle having generally cylindrical side walls 21, a bottom 22 and a neck 23 provided with an external screw thread 24 capable of cooperating with the internal screw thread 32 a of the sleeve 32.
  • On the edge 23 has the neck 23 is fixed the wiping lip 8 using an annular flange 81, said wiping lip plunging into the tank 2. In the rest position the edge 82 of the wiping lip is in contact with the rod 5.
  • the tubular device 6 is formed by a cylindrical scraper element 61 with an inside diameter equal, apart from the operating clearance, to the outside diameter of the rod 5 and by a larger diameter element 62.
  • the two elements are connected by a shoulder annular 63.
  • the element 62 of larger diameter is provided, at its end situated towards the bottom of the cap, with a collar 64 on which the spring 7 is supported. The latter is therefore compressed between on the one hand the annular shoulder 54 which is fixed as described above to the cap and on the other hand the flange 64 of the tubular device 6.
  • the cap 3 in the rest position, the cap 3 is screwed onto the neck 23 of the reservoir 2.
  • the brush 4 and part of the rod 5 are immersed in the reservoir 2.
  • the tubular device 6 is maintained in the cap 3 because the annular shoulder 63 located between the scraper member 61 and the larger diameter member 62 abuts the flange 81 of the wiper lip which is fixed to the edge 23 a of the neck 23 of the reservoir 2.
  • the free edge of the scraper element 61 is located in the interior volume defined by the wiping lip 8. Consequently in the rest position the scraper element is not in contact with the mascara contained in The reservoir.
