Description

La présente invention concerne un applicateur de maquillage ou de produit capillaire ; un tel applicateur est utilisé par exemple pour appliquer sur les cils un renforçateur, encore appelé mascara, ou pour appliquer un eye-liner, une ombre à paupières, un vernis à ongles ou autre.The present invention relates to a makeup or hair product applicator; such an applicator is used for example to apply to the eyelashes a enhancer, also called mascara, or to apply an eyeliner, an eye shadow, a nail varnish or the like.

Un applicateur de maquillage ou de produit capillaire comporte en général un réservoir contenant le produit à appliquer et un capuchon amovible qui est destiné à fermer le réservoir ; une tige est solidaire du capuchon par l'une de ses extrémités et porte à son autre extrémité un organe d'application du produit, comme une brosse ou un pinceau ; en position de fermeture du réservoir par le capuchon, l'organe d'application plonge dans le réservoir ; lorsque l'on retire le capuchon et la tige du réservoir, on prélève sur la brosse ou le pinceau une certaine quantité de produit que l'on peut alors appliquer.A makeup or hair product applicator generally comprises a reservoir containing the product to be applied and a removable cap which is intended to close the reservoir; a rod is integral with the cap by one of its ends and carries at its other end a member for applying the product, such as a brush or a paint brush; in the closed position of the reservoir by the cap, the application member plunges into the reservoir; when the cap and the stem of the reservoir are removed, a certain amount of product is taken from the brush or the paintbrush which can then be applied.

Un applicateur de maquillage, prenant en général place dans un sac à main ou une trousse de maquillage, doit être d'un encombrement aussi réduit que possible, y compris sa longueur. De plus, il doit être d'utilisation pratique, tant au point de vue de son ouverture que pendant l'application du produit de maquillage. De même, chez le coiffeur, un organe d'application de produit capillaire de toute sorte peut présenter des dimensions réduites.A make-up applicator, generally taking place in a handbag or a make-up case, must be as small as possible, including its length. In addition, it must be of practical use, both from the point of view of its opening and during the application of the makeup product. Similarly, at the hairdresser, a hair product application member of any kind may have reduced dimensions.

La présente invention a pour objet un applicateur de maquillage ou de produit capillaire qui remplit parfaitement les impératifs décrits ci-dessus, mieux que les applicateurs connus jusqu'ici.The present invention relates to a makeup applicator or hair product which perfectly meets the requirements described above, better than the applicators known hitherto.

Ainsi, selon l'invention, un applicateur de maquillage ou de produit capillaire, comportant un réservoir contenant le produit à appliquer, un capuchon amovible destiné à fermer le réservoir, un organe d'application porté par l'extrémité d'une tige solidaire du capuchon, ledit capuchon présentant une portée de fermeture destinée à coopérer avec un siège ménagé au droit de l'embouchure du réservoir, est caractérisé par le fait qu'une poignée est articulée autour d'un axe porté par le capuchon, ladite poignée étant constituée d'au moins un arceau dont les dimensions sont telles que dans la position complètement repliée de la poignée ledit arceau entoure ledit réservoir, ledit arceau étant muni d'une butée de verrouillage coopérant avec le fond dudit réservoir, dans cette position complètement repliée de la poignée, cette coopération appliquant à étanchéité ladite portée de fermeture dudit capuchon sur ledit siège ménagé au droit de l'embouchure dudit réservoir.Thus, according to the invention, a makeup or hair product applicator, comprising a reservoir containing the product to be applied, a removable cap intended to close the reservoir, an application member carried by the end of a rod integral with the cap, said cap having a closing surface intended to cooperate with a seat arranged in line with the mouth of the reservoir, is characterized in that a handle is articulated around an axis carried by the cap, said handle being constituted at least one hoop whose dimensions are such that in the position completely folded away from the handle, said hoop surrounds said tank, said hoop being provided with a locking stop cooperating with the bottom of said tank, in this fully folded position of the handle, this cooperation applying said sealing face to said cap on said seal seat provided at the mouth of said reservoir.

L'organe d'application peut être constitué par une brosse, un pinceau, ou un embout en mousse, éventuellement floqué.The applicator member may consist of a brush, a paint brush, or a foam tip, possibly flocked.

Avantageusement, ledit fond dudit réservoir coopère avec ladite butée de verrouillage dudit arceau par l'intermédiaire d'une contre-butée de positionnement.Advantageously, said bottom of said tank cooperates with said locking stop of said hoop by means of a positioning counter-stop.

Selon une forme de réalisation, la section transversale du réservoir et l'arceau ont la forme d'un rectangle ; l'axe d'articulation de la poignée est parallèle au petit côté du rectangle ; en variante, l'axe d'articulation de la poignée est parallèle au grand côté du rectangle.According to one embodiment, the cross section of the tank and the hoop have the shape of a rectangle; the axis of articulation of the handle is parallel to the short side of the rectangle; alternatively, the hinge axis of the handle is parallel to the long side of the rectangle.

Selon une autre forme de réalisation, la section longitudinale du réservoir a la forme d'un trapèze et l'arceau épouse cette forme trapézoïdale ; l'arceau est une plaque rectangulaire dans laquelle a été ménagée une ouverture de forme trapézoïdale.According to another embodiment, the longitudinal section of the tank has the shape of a trapezoid and the arch hugs this trapezoidal shape; the arch is a rectangular plate in which an opening of trapezoidal shape has been made.

Selon une autre forme de réalisation, le réservoir présente à sa périphérie des décrochements dans lesquels l'arceau est adapté à prendre place ; l'arceau est fermé d'un côté par une paroi.According to another embodiment, the reservoir has at its periphery recesses in which the arch is adapted to take place; the arch is closed on one side by a wall.

De préférence, quelle que soit la variante, l'articulation de la poignée est agencée de manière à définir des positions stables d'orientation de la poignée par rapport au capuchon.Preferably, whatever the variant, the articulation of the handle is arranged so as to define stable orientation positions of the handle relative to the cap.

Pour mieux faire comprendre l'objet de l'invention, on va en décrire, maintenant, à titre d'exemple purement illustratif et non limitatif, un mode de réalisation représenté sur les dessins annexés.To better understand the object of the invention, we will now describe, by way of purely illustrative and nonlimiting example, an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

Les figures 1 à 3 représentent une première variante d'applicateur selon l'invention. Selon ces figures, un applicateur 1 comporte un réservoir 10 de forme parallélépipédique à section de forme rectangulaire ; un capuchon 20 permet de fermer le réservoir 10 qui contient le produit de maquillage.Figures 1 to 3 show a first variant of applicator according to the invention. According to these figures, an applicator 1 comprises a tank 10 of rectangular shape with a rectangular section; a cap 20 makes it possible to close the reservoir 10 which contains the makeup product.

Le capuchon 20 porte une tige 22 munie à son extrémité d'une brosse d'application 21, et présente une portée 23 de fermeture, ici en creux, coopérant avec un siège (non représenté) ménagé au droit de l'embouchure du réservoir 10.The cap 20 carries a rod 22 provided at its end with an application brush 21, and has a closing surface 23, here hollow, cooperating with a seat (not shown) formed in line with the mouth of the reservoir 10 .

Sur le capuchon 20 est articulée, autour d'un axe 33, une poignée 30 ; la poignée 30 est constituée d'un arceau 31 en forme générale de U droit s'étendant selon un plan passant par l'axe 33 ; l'épaisseur de l'arceau 31 est plus petite que sa largeur.On the cap 20 is articulated, around an axis 33, a handle 30; the handle 30 consists of a hoop 31 in the general shape of a straight U extending along a plane passing through the axis 33; the thickness of the arch 31 is smaller than its width.

La barre de liaison des deux ailes du U de l'arceau 31 présente, du côté intérieur à l'arceau 31, une butée 32 de verrouillage réalisée sous forme d'un téton. Le corps 11 du réservoir 10 a un fond 12 au centre duquel est prévue une contre-butée 14, ici un logement avec lequel la butée 32 va coopérer ; cette coopération assure, d'une part, un positionnement relatif correct de la poignée 30 lorsqu'elle est repliée dans la position de fermeture, telle que représentée à la figure 1, et, d'autre part, dans cette même position de fermeture, un serrage à étanchéité de la portée 23 sur le siège ménagé au droit de l'embouchure du réservoir 10 ; ce serrage est obtenu grâce aux dimensions respectives de l'arceau 31 et du corps 11, et à l'élasticité de la pièce 31 en forme d'arceau selon l'axe longitudinal.The connecting bar of the two wings of the U of the arch 31 has, on the inner side of the arch 31, a locking stop 32 produced in the form of a stud. The body 11 of the reservoir 10 has a bottom 12 in the center of which a counter-stop 14 is provided, here a housing with which the stop 32 will cooperate; this cooperation ensures, on the one hand, correct relative positioning of the handle 30 when it is folded back in the closed position, as shown in FIG. 1, and, on the other hand, in this same closed position, a tight sealing of the bearing surface 23 on the seat arranged in line with the mouth of the reservoir 10; this tightening is obtained thanks to the respective dimensions of the arch 31 and of the body 11, and to the elasticity of the part 31 in the form of an arch along the longitudinal axis.

Ces dispositions conduisent à un applicateur peu encombrant et d'utilisation aisée ; lorsque l'on a déplié la poignée 30, d'un angle tel que la butée 32 n'est plus au droit du fond 12 du réservoir 10, la figure 2 montrant la position maximum où la poignée a tourné de 180° par rapport au capuchon 20, il est facile d'ouvrir l'applicateur en séparant par translation le capuchon 20 du réservoir 10 ; il n'est par exemple pas nécessaire d'effectuer de mouvement de rotation comme c'est le cas, le plus fréquent, lorsque le capuchon 20 est vissé sur le réservoir 10. En outre, l'articulation de la poignée 30 sur le capuchon 20 peut être prévue de manière à assurer diverses positions stables de la poignée 30 par rapport au capuchon 20, donc de la tige 22 et de la brosse 21, l'une d'elles étant représentée à la figure 3 : ceci permet à l'utilisateur d'adapter l'applicateur selon ses besoins, ses habitudes et la nature du maquillage.These arrangements lead to a space-saving and easy-to-use applicator; when the handle 30 has been unfolded, at an angle such that the stop 32 is no longer in line with the bottom 12 of the reservoir 10, FIG. 2 showing the maximum position where the handle has rotated 180 ° by relative to the cap 20, it is easy to open the applicator by separating the cap 20 from the reservoir 10 by translation; for example, it is not necessary to perform a rotational movement as is the most common case, when the cap 20 is screwed onto the reservoir 10. In addition, the articulation of the handle 30 on the cap 20 may be provided so as to ensure various stable positions of the handle 30 relative to the cap 20, therefore of the rod 22 and of the brush 21, one of them being shown in FIG. 3: this allows the user to adapt the applicator according to his needs, habits and the nature of the makeup.

Les figures 4 à 8, respectivement 4 et 5 - 6 et 7 - 8, représentent trois autres variantes d'applicateurs selon l'invention ; sur ces figures, les éléments analogues à ceux de la variante des figures 1 à 3, qui vient d'être décrite, portent les mêmes références augmentées de 100 et de multiples de 100, respectivement 100, 200 et 300.Figures 4 to 8, respectively 4 and 5 - 6 and 7 - 8, show three other variants of applicators according to the invention; in these figures, elements similar to those of the variant of Figures 1 to 3, which has just been described, bear the same references increased by 100 and multiples of 100, respectively 100, 200 and 300.

Selon la variante des figures 4 et 5, l'applicateur 100 présente un arceau 131 prévu pour s'adapter sur les faces longitudinales les plus larges du corps 111 du réservoir 110 ; ainsi, la section du capuchon 120 ayant la forme d'un rectangle, l'axe 133 s'étend parallèlement à un petit côté dudit rectangle ; l'arceau 131 a la forme d'une bande repliée en U, les extrémités de la bande se faisant face après pliage. Sur la figure 5, on voit que le corps 111 du réservoir 110 présente un col 113 bordant l'embouchure dudit réservoir 110 et formant un siège adapté à coopérer à étanchéité avec un logement dans la capuchon 120 muni d'une portée de fermeture 123. Selon cette variante, l'extrémité du corps 111 est amincie vers le fond du réservoir 110 qui porte la contrebutée 114, laquelle coopère avec la butée de verrouillage 132 de l'arceau 131 constituée d'un téton central prévu sur la barre de liaison des deux ailes du U de l'arceau 131.According to the variant of FIGS. 4 and 5, the applicator 100 has a hoop 131 designed to fit on the widest longitudinal faces of the body 111 of the reservoir 110; thus, the section of the cap 120 having the shape of a rectangle, the axis 133 extends parallel to a short side of said rectangle; the arch 131 has the shape of a band folded into a U, the ends of the band facing each other after folding. In FIG. 5, it can be seen that the body 111 of the reservoir 110 has a neck 113 bordering the mouth of said reservoir 110 and forming a seat adapted to cooperate in sealing with a housing in the cap 120 provided with a closing surface 123. According to this variant, the end of the body 111 is thinned towards the bottom of the tank 110 which carries the butt stop 114, which cooperates with the locking stop 132 of the arch 131 consisting of a central stud provided on the connecting bar of the two wings of the arch U 131.

L'applicateur 200 représenté sur les figures 6 et 7 comporte un réservoir 210 dont deux faces parallèles longitudinales ainsi que le fond 212 présentent des décrochements, respectivement 212B, 212C, 212A dans lesquels l'arceau 231 de la poignée 230 est adapté à prendre place ; pour ce faire, l'arceau 231 est du même genre que l'arceau 131 de l'applicateur 100 mais son plan de symétrie longitudinal ne passe pas par l'axe 233 et est donc décalé par rapport à cet axe ; selon cette variante, l'arceau 231 est fermé d'un côté par une paroi 234.The applicator 200 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 comprises a reservoir 210 of which two longitudinal parallel faces as well as the bottom 212 have notches, respectively 212B, 212C, 212A in which the arch 231 of the handle 230 is adapted to take place ; to do this, the arch 231 is of the same kind as the arch 131 of the applicator 100 but its longitudinal plane of symmetry does not pass not by axis 233 and is therefore offset from this axis; according to this variant, the arch 231 is closed on one side by a wall 234.

Le corps 311 du réservoir de l'applicateur 300 de la figure 8 présente deux larges faces parallèles trapézoïdales 316A, 316B reliées par des faces moins larges 315A, 315B et un fond 312. Sur le capuchon 320, ici de forme générale sphérique, est articulée une poignée 330 dont l'arceau 331 est une plaque de forme rectangulaire dans laquelle a été ménagée une ouverture de forme trapézoïdale correspondant aux faces 316A, 316B du corps 311.The body 311 of the reservoir of the applicator 300 of FIG. 8 has two large parallel trapezoidal faces 316A, 316B connected by narrower faces 315A, 315B and a bottom 312. On the cap 320, here of generally spherical shape, is articulated a handle 330, the arch 331 of which is a plate of rectangular shape in which an opening of trapezoidal shape has been formed corresponding to the faces 316A, 316B of the body 311.

Il est à noter que, selon l'invention, la coopération étroite de la poignée avec le réservoir, dans la position de fermeture de l'applicateur, positionne automatiquement, à des fins d'esthétique, le capuchon par rapport au réservoir, le capuchon et le réservoir pouvant alors avoir des formes non nécessairement de révolution et ne nécessitant donc pas de prévoir des butées d'indexation d'une pièce par rapport à l'autre.It should be noted that, according to the invention, the close cooperation of the handle with the reservoir, in the closed position of the applicator, automatically positions, for aesthetic purposes, the cap relative to the reservoir, the cap and the reservoir may then have forms which are not necessarily of revolution and therefore do not require the provision of indexing stops for one part with respect to the other.
