Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will appear on reading the detailed description which follows, and on examining the appended drawing in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view of a first embodiment of a device according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional view of a second embodiment of a device according to the invention,

On a représenté sur la figure 1 un dispositif de conditionnement et d'application 1 conforme à un premier exemple de réalisation de l'invention.FIG. 1 shows a device for packaging and application 1 in accordance with a first example of realization of the invention.

Ce dispositif 1 comporte un boítier 2 renfermant un produit cosmétique 3. Ce dernier est contenu dans une cavité 4 formée en partie inférieure du boítier 2. Une fenêtre 5 en matière plastique transparente donne accès visuellement à l'intérieur de la cavité 4 et permet à l'utilisateur de contrôler l'état de remplissage et/ou la couleur du produit. La fenêtre 5 obture avantageusement une ouverture servant également au remplissage de la cavité 4. Cette dernière débouche supérieurement, par une ouverture 6, dans une cavité 7 à l'intérieur de laquelle peut tourner un rouleau d'enduction 8 autour d'un axe géométrique de rotation X. Le rouleau d'enduction 8 est solidaire d'un arbre 9, reçu à une extrémité axiale dans un évidement 10 du boítier 2. L'arbre 9 traverse à l'autre extrémité axiale le boítier 2 à la faveur d'un perçage 11 pour être muni à l'extérieur du boítier 2 d'une molette d'entraínement 12.This device 1 comprises a housing 2 containing a product cosmetic 3. The latter is contained in a cavity 4 formed in lower part of the housing 2. A plastic window 5 transparent gives visual access to the interior of the cavity 4 and allows the user to control the filling status and / or the product color. Window 5 advantageously closes an opening also used to fill the cavity 4. The latter opens outwardly, through an opening 6, into a cavity 7 to inside which a coating roller 8 can rotate around of a geometric axis of rotation X. The coating roller 8 is integral with a shaft 9, received at an axial end in a recess 10 of the housing 2. The shaft 9 crosses at the other axial end the case 2 by means of a bore 11 to be fitted outside the case 2 of a drive wheel 12.

Le rouleau d'enduction 8 occupe la quasi totalité de la cavité 7, seul un léger jeu 13 étant ménagé pour sa rotation.The coating roller 8 occupies almost the entire cavity 7, only a slight clearance 13 being provided for its rotation.

Une ouverture 14 est pratiquée en partie supérieure du boítier 2 pour le passage d'un élément d'application constitué dans l'exemple décrit par une bille 15. Cette ouverture 14 est délimitée extérieurement par un bord circulaire dont le diamètre est inférieur à celui de la bille 15 de manière à la retenir dans le boítier 2.An opening 14 is made in the upper part of the housing 2 for the passage of an application element constituted in the example described by a ball 15. This opening 14 is delimited externally by a circular edge whose diameter is less than that of the ball 15 so as to retain it in the housing 2.

La bille 15 présente une région 16 de sa surface située à l'extérieur du boítier et à appliquer sur la peau lors de l'utilisation du dispositif, et une région 17 au contact du rouleau d'enduction 8. Les régions 16 et 17 sont diamétralement opposées et le rouleau d'enduction 8 maintient la bille 15 en place dans l'ouverture 14.The ball 15 has a region 16 of its surface located at outside of the case and apply to the skin when the use of the device, and a region 17 in contact with the roller 8. The regions 16 and 17 are diametrically opposite and the coating roller 8 keeps the ball 15 in place in the opening 14.

Le rouleau d'enduction 8 présente, dans sa région médiane, une gorge annulaire 18 symétrique de révolution autour de l'axe X et dont le profil est, observé dans un plan de coupe contenant l'axe X, un arc de cercle de rayon adapté à celui de la bille 15. La gorge 18 épouse ainsi la forme de la bille 15 pour le transfert par contact d'une charge de produit recouvrant la surface externe du rouleau d'enduction 8 sur la surface de la bille 15 située dans la région 17.The coating roller 8 has, in its central region, a annular groove 18 symmetrical in revolution about the X axis and of which the profile is, observed in a section plane containing the axis X, an arc of circle of radius adapted to that of the ball 15. The groove 18 marries thus the shape of the ball 15 for the transfer by contact of a load of product covering the external surface of the coating roller 8 on the surface of ball 15 located in region 17.

Avant l'utilisation du dispositif 1 pour l'application du produit, l'utilisateur tourne la molette 12 et amène la portion de la surface du rouleau d'enduction 8 initialement située dans l'ouverture 6, donc chargée en produit 3, au contact de la bille 15. La charge de produit 3 transportée par le rouleau d'enduction 8 est transférée par la pression de contact sur la bille 15. Le frottement entre le rouleau d'enduction 8 et la bille 15 assure également l'entraínement en rotation par le rouleau d'enduction 8 de cette dernière lorsque la molette 12 est tournée. Cette rotation de la bille 15 assure le renouvellement de la surface située dans la région 16 par une surface précédemment située au contact du rouleau d'enduction 8 et chargée en produit 3.Before using device 1 for the application of product, the user turns the wheel 12 and brings the portion of the surface of the coating roller 8 initially located in the opening 6, therefore loaded with product 3, in contact with the ball 15. The charge of product 3 transported by the coating roller 8 is transferred by the contact pressure on the ball 15. The friction between the roller coating 8 and ball 15 also ensures the drive in rotation by the coating roller 8 of the latter when the wheel 12 is turned. This rotation of the ball 15 ensures the renewal of the surface located in region 16 by a surface previously located in contact with the coating roller 8 and loaded with product 3.

Avantageusement, le rouleau d'enduction est réalisé dans une matière souple et la distance entre l'axe de rotation de la bille et celui du rouleau d'enduction est choisie suffisamment petite pour que la surface du rouleau d'enduction se déforme au contact de la bille, ce qui permet d'assurer un bon contact entre eux et un bon transfert du produit sur la bille.Advantageously, the coating roller is produced in a flexible material and the distance between the axis of rotation of the ball and that of the coating roller is chosen small enough so that the surface of the coating roller deforms in contact with the ball, which ensures good contact between them and a good transfer of product on the ball.

Pour utiliser le dispositif 1, l'utilisateur déplace la bille 15 au contact de la peau. Le frottement entre la région 16 de la bille 15 et la peau provoque le transfert sur cette dernière du produit.To use device 1, the user moves the ball 15 in contact with the skin. The friction between region 16 of the ball 15 and the skin causes the transfer to the latter of the product.

Pour permettre un transfert efficace du produit sur la peau, la bille 15 ne tourne pas pendant l'application. Pour ce faire, on veille par exemple à ce que le rouleau d'enduction 8 tourne avec un frottement important dans le boítier 2 et l'on maintient une pression de contact suffisante entre la bille 15 et le rouleau d'enduction 8 pour que ce dernier s'oppose à une rotation de la bille 15 lors de l'utilisation.To allow effective transfer of the product to the skin, the ball 15 does not rotate during application. To do this, we make sure for example that the coating roller 8 rotates with a significant friction in the housing 2 and one maintains a pressure sufficient contact between the ball 15 and the coating roller 8 so that the latter opposes a rotation of the ball 15 during use.

Le boítier 2 peut être constitué par la réunion de deux demi-coques, assemblées après montage dans l'une de la bille 15 et du rouleau d'enduction 8 solidaire de l'arbre 9.Box 2 can be formed by the combination of two half-shells, assembled after assembly in one of the ball 15 and the coating roller 8 secured to the shaft 9.

On a représenté sur les figures 2 et 3 un dispositif 19 conforme à un deuxième exemple de réalisation de l'invention.FIGS. 2 and 3 show a device 19 according to a second embodiment of the invention.

Dans la description qui suit, certains éléments fonctionnellement analogues à ceux de la réalisation précédente porteront des signes de références identiques et ne seront pas décrits à nouveau dans le détail.In the description which follows, certain elements functionally analogous to those of the previous embodiment will bear identical reference signs and will not be described again in detail.

Le dispositif 19 diffère essentiellement du précédent par le fait que l'élément d'application peut être désolidarisé du boitier lors de l'utilisation.The device 19 essentially differs from the previous one by the fact that the application element can be detached from the housing when using.

Plus précisément, l'élément d'application, constitué dans l'exemple décrit par une bille 20, est porté par un support 21 muni d'une poignée 22. Le support 21 comporte un logement sphérique 23 dans lequel la bille 20 est logée et dans lequel elle peut tourner.More specifically, the application element, constituted in the example described by a ball 20, is carried by a support 21 provided a handle 22. The support 21 includes a spherical housing 23 in which the ball 20 is housed and in which it can rotate.

La bille 20 présente une région 24 située à l'extérieur du logement 23 et destinée à venir au contact de la peau lors de l'utilisation du dispositif.The ball 20 has a region 24 located outside the housing 23 and intended to come into contact with the skin during use of the device.

Le support 21 et le boítier contenant le produit cosmétique, référencé 25, sont conformés pour s'assembler comme représenté sur la figure 3.The support 21 and the case containing the cosmetic product, referenced 25, are shaped to assemble as shown in the figure 3.

Plus précisément, le support 21 est rapporté par le dessus sur le boítier 25 et la bille 20 pénètre dans un logement 26 formé en partie supérieure de ce dernier. Le rouleau d'enduction 8 débouche par une région 27 de sa surface dans le fond du logement 26. Lorsque le support 21 est en place sur le boítier 25, les régions 24 de la bille 20 et 27 du rouleau d'enduction 8 viennent en contact.More specifically, the support 21 is attached from above on the housing 25 and the ball 20 enters a housing 26 formed in upper part of the latter. The coating roller 8 opens out through a region 27 of its surface in the bottom of the housing 26. When the support 21 is in place on the housing 25, the regions 24 of the ball 20 and 27 of the coating roller 8 come into contact.

Le rouleau d'enduction 8 est solidaire d'un axe 28 dont les extrémités forment saillie à l'extérieur du boítier 25 et tournent avec un couvercle en forme d'arceau 29 pouvant se rabattre sur le support 21 pour le maintenir en place sur le boítier 25. Avantageusement, comme représenté, l'arceau 29 comporte à son sommet un bossage 30. Ce dernier forme saillie dans la concavité de l'arceau 29 et peut s'encliqueter dans un évidement 31 de la poignée 22 pour immobiliser en rotation l'arceau 29 dans sa position de maintien du support 21 sur le boítier 25. Le basculement de l'arceau 29 entraíne en rotation le rouleau d'enduction 8. Grâce au contact des régions 24 et 27, la bille 20 est entraínée en rotation par le rouleau d'enduction 8 et se charge en produit 3 à son contact.The coating roller 8 is integral with an axis 28 whose ends protrude outside the housing 25 and rotate with a hoop-shaped cover 29 which can be folded over the support 21 to hold it in place on the housing 25. Advantageously, as shown, the arch 29 has at its top a boss 30. The latter protrudes into the concavity of the arch 29 and can be snapped into a recess 31 in the handle 22 to immobilize in rotation the arch 29 in its position for maintaining the support 21 on the housing 25. The tilting of the arch 29 causes in rotation the coating roller 8. Thanks to the contact of the regions 24 and 27, the ball 20 is rotated by the roller coating 8 and loads with product 3 on contact.

De préférence, la valeur du rapport des développées du rouleau d'enduction 8 et de la bille 20 est choisie de sorte que la bille 20 effectue au moins une révolution lorsque l'arceau 29 effectue un demi-tour, de manière à ce que le basculement de l'arceau 29 pour libérer le support 21 provoque une charge complète de la bille 20.Preferably, the value of the roll development ratio coating 8 and ball 20 is chosen so that ball 20 performs at least one revolution when the arch 29 performs a U-turn, so that the tilting of the arch 29 for releasing the support 21 causes the ball 20 to be fully charged.

A l'instar de la réalisation précédemment décrite, la bille 20 ne tourne pas dans le support 21 au moment de l'application du produit sur la peau. Pour empêcher la bille de tourner lors de l'application, on a prévu des moyens de blocage en rotation de la bille dans le support, par exemple un frottement suffisant entre la bille 20 et le support 21. En variante, on peut munir le support d'un poussoir, non représenté, permettant de bloquer en rotation la bille 20.Like the previously described embodiment, the ball 20 does not rotate in support 21 when applying the product on the skin. To prevent the ball from spinning during application, means are provided for blocking the rotation of the ball in the support, for example sufficient friction between the ball 20 and the support 21. As a variant, the support can be provided with a pusher, not shown, making it possible to block the ball 20 in rotation.

On a représenté sur la figure 4 une variante de réalisation dans laquelle la bille 20 est rappelée par un ressort 21' contre le rouleau d'enduction 8. Le ressort 21' est logé dans un évidement 22' de la poignée 22. La bille 20 peut s'enfoncer dans son logement 23' et comprimer le ressort 21'. Le rouleau d'enduction est avantageusement apte à se déformer au contact de la bille 20 pour en épouser la forme en vue d'un transfert efficace de produit.There is shown in Figure 4 an alternative embodiment in which the ball 20 is returned by a spring 21 'against the coating roller 8. The spring 21 'is housed in a recess 22' of the handle 22. The ball 20 can sink into its housing 23 'and compress the spring 21 '. The coating roller is advantageously able to deform in contact with the ball 20 to match its shape for efficient product transfer.

On a représenté sur la figure 5 un dispositif 32 dans lequel l'élément d'application et le rouleau d'enduction sont portés par un support 33 amovible, à fixer par claquage sur un réservoir 34 contenant le produit. L'élément d'application est dans l'exemple décrit constitué par un rouleau 36 et le rouleau d'enduction 8 est recouvert de poils 35. Il est solidaire à ses extrémités axiales de doigts d'entraínement 37 tournant chacun sur le support 33 et munis de molettes d'entraínement 38 situées à l'extérieur du support 33. Le rouleau 36 est engagé à ses extrémités axiales dans deux logements concaves 39, se faisant face, conformés pour servir de paliers pour le montage à rotation du rouleau 36 sur le support 33.FIG. 5 shows a device 32 in which the applicator element and the coating roller are carried by a removable support 33, to be fixed by snapping onto a reservoir 34 containing the product. The application element is in the example described consisting of a roller 36 and the coating roller 8 is covered with bristles 35. It is integral at its axial ends with drive fingers 37 each rotating on the support 33 and provided with drive wheels 38 located outside of the support 33. The roller 36 is engaged at its axial ends in two housings concave 39, facing each other, shaped to serve as bearings for the rotational mounting of the roller 36 on the support 33.

En variante, le rouleau d'enduction peut être solidaire à ses extrémités d'un arceau servant à maintenir sur le support 33 un couvercle de fermeture, en l'absence d'utilisation du dispositif. A chaque utilisation, l'utilisateur fait effectuer à l'arceau un quart de tour ou plus pour pouvoir enlever ce couvercle, ce qui entraíne en rotation le rouleau d'enduction et charge le rouleau d'application 36 en produit.Alternatively, the coating roller may be integral with its ends of a hoop used to hold on the support 33 a closing cover, if the device is not used. AT each use, the user makes the hoop perform a quarter of turn or more to be able to remove this cover, which results in rotate the coating roller and load the application roller 36 into product.

Finalement, l'invention permet d'alimenter de façon contrôlée un élément d'application en produit de maquillage. Finally, the invention makes it possible to supply in a controlled manner an application element in makeup product.

En choisissant l'étendue des surfaces en contact de l'élément d'application et du rouleau d'enduction, ainsi que la pression de contact, on peut aisément régler la dose distribuée par le dispositif en fonction de la nature du produit.By choosing the extent of the surfaces in contact with the element application and coating roller, as well as the pressure of contact, you can easily adjust the dose dispensed by the device depending on the nature of the product.

Lorsque l'élément d'application et le rouleau d'enduction sont logés dans un même boítier, ce dernier est avantageusement conformé de sorte que le rouleau d'enduction isole l'élément d'application de la cavité du boítier contenant le produit, ce qui améliore l'étanchéité du stockage et la conservation du produit.When the applicator element and the coating roller are housed in the same housing, the latter is advantageously shaped so that the coating roller isolates the application element from the cavity of the case containing the product, which improves sealing storage and preservation of the product.

La présence du rouleau d'enduction fermant la cavité contenant le produit autorise en outre l'amovibilité de l'élément d'application.The presence of the coating roller closing the cavity containing the product also allows the applicability element to be removed.

En fonction de la pression de contact qui est désirée entre le rouleau d'enduction et l'élément d'application et de la nature du produit à distribuer, on choisira de réaliser le rouleau d'enduction dans une matière plastique pleine ou alvéolaire, à cellules ouvertes ou fermées, cette matière plastique pouvant être un élastomère, une mousse d'élastomère, de polyéthylène, ou de polyuréthanne notamment. Le rouleau peut également être réalisé dans un matériau composite, et présenter des régions de duretés différentes.Depending on the contact pressure which is desired between the coating roller and the application element and the nature of the product to be distributed, we will choose to make the coating roller in a solid or cellular plastic, with open cells or closed, this plastic material can be an elastomer, a elastomer, polyethylene or polyurethane foam in particular. The roller can also be made of a composite material, and present regions of different hardness.

La forme du rouleau d'enduction n'est pas limitée aux exemples qui viennent d'être décrits. Ce dernier peut présenter en section axiale, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, un profil de forme concave, convexe ou autre. La surface du rouleau d'enduction peut également être traitée pour la rendre grasse et favoriser sa charge en produit lorsque ce dernier est pulvérulent. Elle peut encore être non lisse, alvéolaire, et présenter un floquage.The shape of the coating roller is not limited to the examples which have just been described. The latter can present in section axial, without departing from the scope of the invention, a shape profile concave, convex or other. The surface of the coating roller can also be treated to make it fatty and promote its load in produced when the latter is powdery. She can still be no smooth, alveolar, and present a flocking.

L'élément d'application peut être rotatif ou non, rigide, partiellement flexible ou entièrement flexible. On peut ainsi utiliser à la place d'une bille ou d'un rouleau, un tampon d'application constitué par un bloc de mousse.The application element can be rotatable or not, rigid, partially flexible or fully flexible. We can thus use instead of a ball or roller, an application pad consisting of a block of foam.

On remarquera enfin que le rouleau d'enduction peut compacter, grâce à la pression de contact sur l'élément d'application, le produit sur celui-ci, ce qui est avantageux lorsque le produit est pulvérulent, car on limite les risques d'envolée du produit lors de l'application. La présence du rouleau d'enduction contribue également à l'homogénéité de la distribution de produit sur l'élément d'application, ce qui permet l'exécution d'un maquillage soigné.Finally, note that the coating roller can compact, thanks to the contact pressure on the application element, the product on it, which is advantageous when the product is powdery, because the risks of the product flying off are limited the application. The presence of the coating roller also contributes the homogeneity of the product distribution on the element of application, which allows the execution of a neat makeup.
