Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for applying a thixotropic product using a brush.
  • the invention relates to a make-up assembly, intended in particular for making up the eyelashes by means of an eyelash enhancer product also called mascara.
  • an eyelash enhancer product also called mascara.
  • a thixotropic dye to the hair using a device of the same type.
  • a conventional mascara applicator comprises a mascara reservoir and a removable cap, which is intended to close the reservoir and which constitutes a handle making it possible to handle a brush carried by the end of a rod secured to the cap.
  • the rod and the associated brush plunge into the reservoir.
  • a certain amount of mascara is taken from the brush which can then be applied to the eyelashes.
  • the brush generally enters the interior of the reservoir through an orifice of circular cross section, which is formed in a wringing member disposed at the inlet of the reservoir; the edge of said orifice constitutes a wiping lip, which has the role of exerting a wiping action on the bristles of the brush, with the aim of removing the excess makeup product removed by the brush with the inside the tank.
  • the diameter of this orifice is less than the minimum diameter of the brush measured at the top of the bristles, so that the edge of said orifice can exert its wiping action on the brush when the latter is extracted from the reservoir.
  • the brushes usually fitted to these make-up sets generally include relatively long hairs arranged in a helix around a core constituted by a twisted metal wire.
  • the makeup product contained in the reservoir is generally in the form of a thick, even pasty liquid; this results in a defect in the distribution of the makeup product taken from the brush at the outlet of the mascara reservoir, the product being too little fluid to regularly cover the bristles of the brush; it is a fact that the makeup product is thixotropic, but the simple displacement of the bristles of the brush in the product during the extraction of the brush is insufficient to reduce the viscosity of said product significantly.
  • a winding is advantageously helical, substantially in the axis of the wringing zone, immediately upstream thereof when the brush is extracted, the turns of this winding being sufficiently spaced to allow the free passage of the product between the inside and the outside of the winding, and the inside diameter of said winding being less than the largest diameter of the brush.
  • the present invention therefore relates to the new industrial product that constitutes a device for applying a thixotropic product using a brush, in particular a mascara for the eyelashes, comprising a reservoir of said thixotropic product, a removable cap. '' assembling on the reservoir, a rod integral with the cap, disposed substantially along its axis and projecting with respect to said cap, and a brush comprising bristles carried by the end of the rod which is opposite to the cap, in the extension of said rod, the brush penetrating inside the tank by a wringing zone, characterized in that inside said tank, is arranged a winding of which at least a main part (P) comprises a plurality of coils not contiguous, the axis of said part (P) of the winding being substantially coincident with the axis of the wringing zone, the non-contiguous turns of said part (P) of the winding defining int laughingly a cylindrical volume, the cross section of which is homothetic with the largest cross
  • main part (P) of the winding must include a plurality of non-contiguous turns, it can nevertheless also include some contiguous turns, in particular in its central zone.
  • the device comprises, to form the wringing zone, a wringing member inserted in the neck of the reservoir, said member serving for fixing the winding inside the reservoir;
  • the orifice for passage of the wiper member may constitute a wiping zone substantially coaxial with the reservoir, the cross section of the internal volume defined by the part (P) of the winding being circular and coaxial with the wiping zone , the brush having a shape of revolution around its soul.
  • the wiper member can be constituted by a sleeve which fits into the mouth of the tank, delimiting said introduction chimney and extending into the tank by a cylindrical skirt, the inner free edge of which forms the wiping zone and around which is engaged the upper part of the winding, retaining means being carried by said skirt to allow the attachment of said winding by its aforementioned upper part.
  • the wringing zone is constituted by a zone of small diameter of the winding itself; this zone is advantageously disposed between the main part (P) of the winding and a zone of the same winding used for fixing the latter in the tank.
  • the winding can be constituted by a filiform element shaped helically, in particular by a helical spring.
  • the winding is advantageously chosen to be deformable enough to accompany such movements of said rod.
  • the internal diameter of the part (P) of the winding is preferably greater than the diameter of the wringing zone; in addition, the part (P) of the winding can extend, from the wiper member, over a distance between a quarter and a half of the height of the reservoir.
  • the internal diameter of the part (P) of the winding is between approximately 0.9 times the largest external diameter of the brush and approximately 2 times the diameter of the brush core.
  • the turns of part (P) of the winding are advantageously spaced from each other by a distance allowing the thixotropic product to pass freely between them and the bristles of the brush to return to their normal position between two successive turns. during the passage of the brush inside said winding, when the user extracts the brush-holding rod from the reservoir.
  • the spring can be made of a metal or of a plastic material, flocked or not.
  • the brush is advantageously constituted by a central core formed from a twisted metal wire, trapping a helical row of radial bristles.
  • the brush can be inscribed, in its entirety, in a cylinder of axis coincident with that of the core, or else in an elongated truncated cone tapering towards its free end, of axis confused with that of the soul.
  • FIG. 1 a set of make-up used for applying mascara to the eyelashes.
  • the assembly 1 as can be seen in FIG. 1 in the closed position, is in the form of a cylindrical stick, the lower part of which is constituted by a cylindrical reservoir 2 of mascara and the upper part of which is formed by a cap 3 also cylindrical. In the closed position, the cylindrical wall of the cap 3 is in line with that of the reservoir 2.
  • the cylindrical lateral wall 4 of the reservoir 2 has an annular shoulder 5, directed inwards, separating the actual body of the reservoir 2 from its neck 6.
  • the neck 6 externally carries a thread 8, the function of which is also indicated below.
  • a wringing member 9 semi-rigid, which simultaneously defines a chimney 10 for introducing a brush holder rod which will be described below.
  • the wringer 9 consists of a cylindrical sleeve 11 intended to be placed in the mouth of the neck 6 and to hang thereon; for this purpose, its wall has two annular grooves 12 a , 12 b , intended to cooperate with the peripheral rods respectively 7 a , 7 b , of the reservoir 2.
  • the cylindrical sleeve 11 is, at one of its ends, folded back square to the outside, to form a flange 13 intended to rest on the free edge of the neck 6 in the mounting position of the wiper member 9.
  • the sleeve 11 tapers along a frusto-conical part 14, to extend towards the reservoir by a cylindrical skirt 15.
  • the free edge of the internal wall of skirt 15 forms the wiping zone 16 of the brush of assembly 1.
  • the skirt 15 has externally, on its external free edge, a peripheral bead 17 which serves as a hooking means on the wringer 9 of a metal helical spring 18.
  • the spring 18 is, in the mounting position, arranged in such a way so that its axis is located substantially in the extension of the axis of the wiping zone 16.
  • the turns of the spring 18 are closer together in each of the end zones of said spring 18; the spring surrounds the skirt 15 by its upper end zone with more closely spaced turns, the lower turn of this zone coming to bear on the bead 17; between the two end zones of the spring 18 is the main part (P) of said spring, in which the turns are non-contiguous.
  • the part (P) of the spring 18 has a length covering substantially one third of the height of the reservoir 2.
  • the cap 3 has a cylindrical side wall 19, connected to a bottom 20 and provided internally with a thread 21, intended to cooperate with the external thread 8 carried by the neck 6.
  • the internal surface of the wall 19 comprises a annular recess 22, so that said wall 19 is thicker in the region near the bottom 20.
  • a capsule 23 is forced into the mouth of said cap 3.
  • This capsule 23 comprises a main body 24, of generally cylindrical shape, by which the capsule 23 is pressed into the region of the bottom 20 of the cap 3.
  • the cylindrical body 24 has a side flange 25 abutting against the annular recess 22 in the mounting position.
  • the body 24 of the capsule 23 tapers along a frustoconical zone 26, intended to come into abutment against the upper internal edge of the wringer 9, in the closed position of the assembly 1 , so as to ensure watertightness.
  • a rod 27 integral with said capsule 23.
  • This rod 27 projects outside of the cap 3 and it ends in a brush 28, of cylindrical envelope, which , in the closed position of the makeup assembly 1, plunges into the tank 2, the end of the brush 28 opposite to that connected to the rod 27 arriving, in this position, in the vicinity of the bottom of the tank 2.
  • the envelope of the brush 28 is of revolution around the rod 27. It can be seen that the protective cap 3 forms a handle allowing the brush 28 to be easily manipulated.
  • the straight section of the rod 27 is slightly smaller than the section of the area of spin 16.
  • the brush 28 has a core 29, which is arranged in the axis of the rod 27; the core 29 is formed by folding a metal wire over itself, then by twisting this wire thus doubled, so as to block, around the core 29, a helical row of radial bristles 30.
  • the minimum diameter of the brush 28 in the rest state, measured at the top of the bristles 30, is greater than the internal diameter of the wringing zone 16 and also greater than the internal diameter of the part (P) of the helical spring 18.
  • this makeup assembly 1 is extremely simple: the helical spring 18 is made integral with the wiper member 9, as indicated above, and the assembly is introduced into the neck 6 of the reservoir 2, until the rods 7 a , 7 b penetrate into the grooves respectively 12 a , 12 b , the collar 13 then coming to bear on the upper edge of the reservoir 2. The makeup product is then introduced if this had not already been done, then the assembly is closed by the cap 3 with the associated brush-holder rod 27 .
  • the brush 28 When the brush 28 is extracted from the reservoir 2, it arrives, in the position shown in FIG. 2, at the part (P) of the spring 18, where its bristles 30 bend and relax successively by crossing the turns of the main part of the spring 18, which are sufficiently spaced so that the thixotropic mascara product can penetrate and come out of the turns as a result of the depression and the wringing of the bristles when the brush passes, which then remains charged with a fluid product until it arrives in the wringing zone 16.
  • the thixotropy of the mascara is broken as a result of its agitation by the passage of the coils hairs 30.
  • the wringer 9 being made of a semi-rigid material, it is also possible, when desired, to reach, with the brush 28, the side wall 4 of the reservoir 2, in a position such as that shown in figure 3.
  • a make-up set used for applying mascara to the eyelashes has been designated by 100, this set implementing the variant according to which the wringing member is constituted by an extension of the winding with non-contiguous turns which can be crossed by the brush 128 of the device.
  • the assembly 100 is shown in FIG. 1 in the closed position; it comes in the form a cylindrical stick whose lower part is constituted by a cylindrical reservoir 102 containing mascara and whose upper part is formed by a cap 103 also cylindrical. In the closed position, the cylindrical wall of the cap 103 is in line with that of the reservoir 102.
  • the cylindrical side wall 104 of the reservoir 102 has an annular shoulder 105, directed inwards, separating the body itself of the reservoir 102 from its neck 106.
  • the neck 106 externally carries a thread 108 intended for cooperate with a thread 121 carried internally by the cap 103.
  • an annular snap groove 151 At the upper part of the neck 106 is provided an annular snap groove 151, which cooperates with a snap bead carried by a stop ring 152.
  • the constitution of the cap 103 is strictly identical to that of the cap 3 previously described and will therefore not be repeated in detail.
  • the cap 103 carries a rod 127 at the base of which is the brush 128, whose constitution is identical to that of the brush 28 previously described.
  • the first functional area 118 has a cylindrical external shape and is arranged inside the neck 106, its outside diameter corresponding substantially to the inside diameter of the neck 106; the second functional area 118 b also has a cylindrical shape but the outside diameter of this area is much smaller than that of the zone 118 a and its internal diameter is only very slightly greater than the diameter of the rod 127; the third functional zone 118 c is also cylindrical and its external diameter is intermediate between that of zones 118 a and 118 b , said external diameter being equal to the diameter of the central passage defined by the annular shoulder 105.
  • the three functional zones above defined are connected to each other by conical zones.
  • the turns of the spring 118 may or may not be contiguous in the zones 118 a and 118 b and in the intermediate zones; they are preferably tighter in the main area 118 b .
  • the turns of the spring 118 are not contiguous.
  • the introduction of the spring 118 into the reservoir 102 is carried out from the neck 106 and the intermediate zone between the functional zones 118 a and 118 b comes to bear against the upper face of the annular shoulder 105. To maintain in position the spring 118 in the reservoir 102, then the snap ring 152 is placed in place at the top of the neck 106 by snap-fastening.
  • the functional area 118 c of the spring 118 plays exactly the role that the cylindrical part with non-contiguous turns of the spring 18 played in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3.
  • the functional area 118 c has a length covering substantially a third of the height of the tank 102; the passage of the brush 128 through this zone at the time of its extraction from the reservoir 102 therefore causes the thixotropy of the mascara to be broken.
  • the spin function is performed in this variant without the need to instead a wiper member of the wiper of the type member 9 that has been shown and described for the embodiment of Figures 1 to 3.
  • the organ wiper is constituted by the functional area 118 b of the spring 118, this zone having substantially an internal passage diameter corresponding to that of the cylindrical skirt 15 of the wringer 9 defined in the first variant. It can therefore be seen that, in this embodiment, the wringing function is carried out using the spring which, in another of its functional zones, performs the breaking function of the thixotropy of the mascara and which, by its third functional zone ensures its own attachment to the tank 102.
