Abstract

Applicator tube for cosmetic products, particularly mascara, having a tubular outer body. A cap fitted on one end of the tubular body has a rod attached to it, and an applicator is attached at the other end or the rod. The applicator is disposed inside the tubular body, in a longitudinally moveable part, and is removable therefrom to apply the cosmetic product. A removable container is at the lower end of the tubular body. A deformable part is disposed above the container whereby pressing down and releasing the cap causes mascara to be drawn into the applicator tube from the removable container to impregnate the applicator, which can then be withdrawn from the tubular body to apply the mascara. In another embodiment, the applicator moves between a retracted position inside the tubular body and an extended position when the removable container is pushed into the tubular body and thereafter withdrawn.

Description

TUBE APPLICATEUR POUR PRODUITS COSMETIQUES LIQUIDES OU SEMI- APPLICATOR TUBE FOR LIQUID OR SEMI-COSMETIC PRODUCTS
LIQUIDES, NOTAMMENT POUR MASCARALIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY FOR MASCARA
La présente invention a pour objet un tube applicateu pour produits cosmétigues liguides ou semi-liguides, notammen pour mascara.The subject of the present invention is an applicator tube for liquid or semi-liquid cosmetic products, in particular for mascara.
Actuellement un tube de mascara comporte une parti flacon contenant le mascara, obturable par une capsule laguelle est solidarisée une tige comportant à son extrémité un brosse en spirale permettant l'application dudit mascara sur les cils.Currently a mascara tube has a bottle part containing the mascara, which can be closed off by a laguelle capsule, a rod is secured to its end, having a spiral brush allowing the application of said mascara to the eyelashes.
Quand le tube est fermé, la tige et la brosse baignen dans le mascara, et lorsgue l'utilisatrice extrait la brosse d tube, cette dernière passe par un étranglement servan d'essoreur gui élimine le surplus de produit, ledit étranglemen étant généralement constitué d'un rétrécissement de l'embouchure de la partie flacon. De tels tubes présentent toutefois un certain nombre d'inconvénients. En effet, d'une part l'utilisatrice n'utilise pas tout le produit gui imprègne la brosse mais en général seulement un tiers, ce qui pose le problème de la souillure de l'ensemble du contenu du flacon par les bactéries ramenées par la brosse lors de sa réintroduction, ce gui nécessiteWhen the tube is closed, the rod and the brush are bathed in mascara, and when the user extracts the tube brush, the latter passes through a servo-wringing throttle which eliminates the excess product, said strangling generally consisting of '' a narrowing of the mouth of the bottle part. Such tubes however have a number of drawbacks. Indeed, on the one hand the user does not use all the product which impregnates the brush but in general only a third, which poses the problem of soiling of the entire contents of the bottle by the bacteria brought back by the brush when reintroduced, this mistletoe requires
1'adjonction au produit d'une grande guantité de conservateurs.The addition to the product of a large quantity of preservatives.
D'autre part, la totalité du produit contenu dans le flacon ne peut être utilisée, compte tenu de la longueur de la tige et du diamètre de la brosse, d'où une perte pour le consommateur.On the other hand, the entire product contained in the bottle cannot be used, given the length of the rod and the diameter of the brush, resulting in a loss for the consumer.
D'autre part encore, au fur et à mesure de so utilisation, la guantité d'air contenue dans le flacon augmente et le produit sèche.On the other hand, as it is used, the amount of air contained in the bottle increases and the product dries.
Enfin, la tige est toujours souillée par le produit, ce gui entraîne un encrassement progressif de la capsule et u risque d'empâtement de l'extrémité de la brosse.Finally, the stem is always soiled by the product, this mistletoe causes progressive fouling of the capsule and u risk of impingement of the end of the brush.
La présente invention vise à remédier à ces divers inconvénients en proposant un tube applicateur gui s caractérise essentiellement en ce gu'il comporte, dans un corps externe tubulaire, un dispositif de distribution doseur adapt sur un contenant amovible indépendant dudit corps externe. Le tube applicateur selon l'invention comporte en outr un applicateur du produit cosmétigue adapté à l'extrémité d'un tige et pouvant consister en une brosse en spirale, pou l'application d'un mascara ou en une petite éponge pou l'application d'un produit du type rouge à lèvres liquide, di "lip gloss", ledit applicateur étant disposé, lorsgue le tub est fermé, dans un logement communiguant avec l'embouchure d'u dispositif de distribution doseur.The present invention aims to remedy these various drawbacks by proposing an applicator tube which is essentially characterized in that it comprises, in a tubular external body, a metering distribution device adapted to a removable container independent of said external body. The applicator tube according to the invention further comprises an applicator of the cosmetic product adapted to the end of a rod and which may consist of a spiral brush, for the application of a mascara or a small sponge for the application. of a product of the liquid lipstick type, di "lip gloss", said applicator being disposed, when the tub is closed, in a housing communicating with the mouth of a metering dispensing device.
La mise en oeuvre du dispositif selon l'invention se fait en exerçant une pression sur le tube, par exemple sur l'une de ses extrémités, ce gui provogue la libération d'une dose de mascara, gui sort du contenant et se répand dans le logement de l'applicateur en l'imprégnant, après guoi on extrait ledit applicateur, gui passe par un essoreur. Les inconvénients des dispositifs connus sont ainsi écartés : d'une part la réintroduction de la brosse ne peut contaminer le mascara contenu dans la partie flacon, d'autre part tout le produit peut être utilisé, d'autre part encore ledit produit n'est jamais au contact de l'air et donc ne sèche pas, enfin la tige de l'applicateur nra plus à être longue pour aller chercher le produit dans le fond du flacon, ce gui permet de mettre en oeuvre des tiges assez courtes permettant une plus grande précision d'application.The implementation of the device according to the invention is done by exerting a pressure on the tube, for example on one of its ends, this mistletoe causes the release of a dose of mascara, mistletoe leaves the container and spreads in the housing of the applicator by impregnating it, after which said applicator is extracted, which passes through a wringer. The drawbacks of the known devices are thus eliminated: on the one hand the reintroduction of the brush cannot contaminate the mascara contained in the bottle part, on the other hand all the product can be used, on the other hand said product is not never in contact with air and therefore does not dry, then the stem of the applicator n r is more to be long to get the product into the bottom of the bottle, it allows mistletoe implement fairly short stems to greater application precision.
Avantageusement le dispositif doseur utilisé peut être celui décrit dans la demande de brevet français 91/03079 déposée par les demandeurs, dispositif gui outre son efficacité, sa fiabilité et son faible coût, est réalisable en petites dimensions donc intégrable dans un corps externe de la taille d'un crayon. Plusieurs modes de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention sont possibles, notamment un tube avec une tige extractible sous l'effet d'une pression exercée à l'arrière dudit tube, pression gui dans un premier temps crée la dose et imprègne la brosse de mascara, et dans un second temps extrait la brosse dudit tube.Advantageously, the metering device used can be that described in French patent application 91/03079 filed by the applicants, which device, in addition to its efficiency, reliability and low cost, can be produced in small dimensions and therefore can be integrated into an external body of the size with a pencil. Several embodiments of the device according to the invention are possible, in particular a tube with an extractable rod under the effect of a pressure exerted on the back of said tube, pressure which initially creates the dose and permeates the brush. mascara, and then extract the brush from the tube.
Les avantages et les caractéristigues de la présente invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description gui suit et gui se rapporte au dessin annexé, leguel en représente un mode de réalisation non limitatif. Dans le dessin annexé : - la figure 1 représente une vue en coupe longitudinale d'un premier mode de réalisation d'un tube applicateur selon 1'invention.The advantages and the characteristics of the present invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and which relates to the appended drawing, which is shown in a non-limiting embodiment. In the attached drawing: - Figure 1 shows a longitudinal sectional view of a first embodiment of an applicator tube according to the invention.
- la figure la représente une vue en coupe selon 1'axe XX' porté sur la figure 1. la figure 2a représente une vue en coupe longitudinale d'un second mode de réalisation d'un tube applicateur selon l'invention, en position de fermeture. la figure 2b représente une vue en coupe longitudinale du même tube applicateur lorsgue la tige est sortie.- Figure la shows a sectional view along the axis XX 'shown in Figure 1. Figure 2a shows a longitudinal sectional view of a second embodiment of an applicator tube according to the invention, in the position of closing. FIG. 2b represents a view in longitudinal section of the same applicator tube when the rod is extended.
Si on se réfère à la figure 1 on peut voir gu'un tube applicateur selon l'invention comporte un corps externe tubulaire 1 dont une extrémité est ouverte et permet l'introduction d'un contenant 2 amovible et dont l'autre extrémité comporte un rétrécissement 10 de forme tronconigue constituant un essoreur.If we refer to Figure 1 we can see that an applicator tube according to the invention comprises a tubular external body 1 one end of which is open and allows the introduction of a removable container 2 and the other end of which has a narrowing 10 of frustoconical shape constituting a wringer.
Sur le corps externe 1 est adaptée une capsule 3 solidaire d'une tige 30 dont l'extrémité est munie d'une brosse en spirale 31.On the external body 1 is adapted a capsule 3 secured to a rod 30, the end of which is provided with a spiral brush 31.
La brosse 31 est logée à l'intérieur du corps externe 1, en-dessous de l'essoreur 10, dans une pièce 4 mobile longitudinalement dont une partie 40 enveloppe ladite brosse 31. L'extrémité inférieure de la pièce 4 comporte une partie tubulaire 41 gui délimite un espace cylindrigue 42 et gui, associée à une pièce 5 deformable en élastomère, constitue un dispositif doseur tel gue celui décrit dans la demande de brevet français 91/03079. Ainsi la pièce 5, gui est de forme générale cylindrigue, comporte deux parties tubulaires concentrigues 50 et 51 reliées par une paroi annulaire 52, l'ouverture supérieure de la partie tubulaire intérieure 51 étant obturée par une paroi 53 percée d'orifices 54. L'extrémité de la partie tubulaire 41 de la pièce 4 s'insère entre les deux parties tubulaires 50 et 51 et prend appui sur la paroi annulaire 52.The brush 31 is housed inside the external body 1, below the wiper 10, in a longitudinally movable part 4, a part 40 of which surrounds said brush 31. The lower end of the part 4 comprises a tubular part 41 mistletoe delimits a cylindrical space 42 and mistletoe, associated with a deformable piece 5 of elastomer, constitutes a metering device such as that described in French patent application 91/03079. Thus the part 5, which is generally cylindrical in shape, comprises two concentrated tubular parts 50 and 51 connected by an annular wall 52, the upper opening of the internal tubular part 51 being closed by a wall 53 pierced with orifices 54. L the end of the tubular part 41 of the part 4 is inserted between the two tubular parts 50 and 51 and bears on the annular wall 52.
Si on se réfère également à la figure la on peut voir gue la partie 40 de la pièce 4 comporte des fentes longitudinales 44 permettant de faire communiguer le logement de la brosse 31 avec l'espace extérieur 43 de la partie tubulaire 41. L'utilisation du tube applicateur s'effectue, aprè enlèvement du capuchon 11 recouvrant la capsule 3, en exerçan une pression sur la capsule 3, ce gui a pour effet, lors d'un première utilisation, de chasser l'air contenu dans l'espac cylindrigue 42 tout en déformant la pièce en élastomère 5, laquelle, en reprenant sa forme initiale lors du relâchement de la pression, crée un dépression gui aspire le mascara conten dans le contenant 2 et remplit l'espace cylindrigue 42. Lors de pressions suivantes sur la capsule 3, le mascara contenu dans l'espace cylindrigue 42 se répand dans l'espace 43 en passant dans des fentes 45 pratiguees dans la partie tubulaire 41 et en déformant la partie tubulaire extérieure 50, puis, en passant par les fentes 44, imprègne la brosse 31 qui peut être extraite, l'essoreur 10 éliminant le surplus de mascara. Si on se réfère maintenant aux figures 2a et 2b on peut voir gue dans ce mode de réalisation la partie tubulaire 41 qui fait partie du dispositif doseur, associée à la pièce deformable 5 en élastomère, est solidaire de la tige 30 mais à l'extrémité opposée à celle comportant la brosse 31. Lors d'une pression sur le contenant 2, celui-ci dans un premier temps se déplace longitudinalement dans le corps tubulaire 1, repoussant la tige 30 et provoquant l'extraction de la brosse 31 du tube, puis dans un deuxième temps, lorsgue la partie tubulaire 41 arrive en butée sur la pièce 4' dont une partie 40' abrite la brosse 31, le produit contenu dans l'espace cylindrigue 42 se répand dans l'espace intérieur de la partie 40'. Ainsi, lors de la réintroduction de la brosse 31, celle-ci sera imprégnée d'une nouvelle dose de mascara et sera prête à l'emploi. If reference is also made to FIG. 1a, one can see that the part 40 of the part 4 has longitudinal slots 44 making it possible to make the housing of the brush 31 communicate with the external space 43 of the tubular part 41. The use of the applicator tube is carried out, after removal of the cap 11 covering the capsule 3, by exerting a pressure on the capsule 3, this mistletoe has the effect, during a first use, of expelling the air contained in the 'cylindrical space 42 while deforming the elastomer part 5, which, by resuming its initial shape when the pressure is released, creates a depression which sucks the mascara contained in the container 2 and fills the cylindrical space 42. During pressures following on the capsule 3, the mascara contained in the cylindrical space 42 spreads in the space 43 by passing through slots 45 formed in the tubular part 41 and by deforming the external tubular part 50, then, passing through the slots 44, permeates the brush 31 which can be extracted, the wiper 10 eliminating the excess mascara. If we now refer to Figures 2a and 2b we can see that in this embodiment the tubular part 41 which is part of the metering device, associated with the deformable piece 5 of elastomer, is integral with the rod 30 but at the end opposite to that comprising the brush 31. When the container 2 is pressed, it initially moves longitudinally in the tubular body 1, pushing back the rod 30 and causing the brush 31 to be extracted from the tube, then in a second step, when the tubular part 41 comes into abutment on the part 4 ', part 40' of which houses the brush 31, the product contained in the cylindrical space 42 spreads in the interior space of the part 40 ' . Thus, upon reintroduction of the brush 31, it will be impregnated with a new dose of mascara and will be ready for use.
