Definitions
- the main subject of the present invention is a applicator device rechargeable of a product more or less viscous liquid such as nail polish for example.
- applicator devices comprising essentially a body containing a reservoir and fitted with a brush which can be impregnated with the product contained in the tank to allow the application of this product.
- the present invention aims to remedy this disadvantage and generally resolve issues with devices of the prior art, and in particular that of the environmental pollution by harmful elements such as the magnets used in this kind of device.
- the invention relates to a device refillable applicator of a liquid product more or less viscous, such as nail polish for example, and of the type comprising a body containing a reservoir provided with a brush or the like which allows the application of the product contained in the tank and whose operation is carried out by a button operating one of two magnetic elements mounted sliding respectively outside and inside said tank characterized in that the tank and its associated brush provided with said magnetic element the interior of said tank form a cartridge can be extracted from the body.
- This device is further characterized by a means mechanical forming gear consisting of at least one sprocket with double teeth mounted mad on the body and meshing on the one hand with at least a first arm integral with the button and with at least a second arm integral with the sliding sliding magnetic element in said body.
- This magnetic element will therefore not be polluting for the environment, since the body that contains it and which can receive a removable cartridge forming tank, is not disposable.
- the magnetic element in question is a ring-shaped magnet from which protrude two diametrically opposite arms forming a rack and each meshing with an aforementioned pinion.
- the aforementioned magnet is slidably mounted in a chamber formed by a sleeve constituting the front part of the body, and by a tube which extends the tank proper and in which a piece slides carrying the brush and surrounded by a ferromagnetic ring cooperating with said magnet.
- the applicator device of this invention is still characterized by the fact that it includes a socket mounted in the body and carrying the aforementioned pinions, while the button is pivotally mounted on this socket or on an envelope surrounding the tank well said.
- the button is constantly pressed by a spring interposed between said button and the aforementioned socket.
- a ring On the front part of the sleeve-shaped body, is mounted a ring defining with this front part a housing for a plug.
- the aforementioned magnet is surrounded by a wall forming a shield vis-à-vis the outside of the body, and provided with lugs which pass radially through the sleeve forming the front part of the body to allow actuation of this magnet and therefore of the brush by cooperation with the cap.
- This device is further characterized in that the magnet consists of two axially superimposed rings, separated and magnetized radially so that the polarity of a ring be inverse of the polarity of the other ring.
- Figure 1 is a schematic view in axial section an applicator device according to this invention, illustrated in active position, i.e. brush got out.
- Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1, but showing the device in the inactive position or storage.
- Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view and partial view of the device, showing the elements essentials for controlling the applicator brush.
- Figure 4 is a very schematic view in section axial, illustrating the magnetic means of the device.
- an applicator device conforming to this invention basically includes a body 1 in which can be removably mounted, a cartridge 2 forming a reservoir for liquid product plus or less viscous and with which an applicator brush is associated 3.
- the body 1 has a front part 4 in the form of sleeve, and on this front part is mounted, by screwing for example, a ring 5 defining with said part before a space 6 allowing reception of a plug visible at 7 in FIG. 2.
- a cover or the like mounted on the end of the envelope 9 and to which is associated a spring 11 to hold the removable cartridge 2 in the body 1.
- a cover or the like mounted on the end of the envelope 9 and to which is associated a spring 11 to hold the removable cartridge 2 in the body 1.
- a socket 12 is mounted and retained carrying the mechanical control part of the brush 3, and which will be described in detail later.
- the cartridge 2 comprises a rear part 13 constituting the tank itself, and part front having the shape of a tube 14 to which is associated with the applicator brush 3 which, with the tube 14 and the reservoir 13, form a unitary assembly and can be easily removed from the body 1.
- the teeth 19b of the two pinions 19 mesh, respectively, with two arms 20 carried by the push button lateral 15.
- the two teeth 19a of larger diameter they mesh respectively with two other arms 21 diametrically projecting from a magnetic element 22 in the form of a cylinder clearly visible in FIG. 3 and slidably mounted in a chamber 23 formed on the front part or sleeve 4 of the body 1, said element 22 sliding between the sleeve 4 and the tube 14 of the cartridge 2, as can be seen in Figures 1 and 2.
- the two arms 21 each form a rack meshing with the teeth 19b of the pinions 19, likewise that the arms 20 of the push button 15 each form also, as seen in Figure 3, a rack 20a meshing with the teeth 19a of the sprockets 19.
- the magnetic element 22 is consisting of a like proper 24 housed at inside a plastic cylinder 25 which itself carries the arms forming rack 21.
- the cylinder 25 forms a wall surrounding the magnet 24 and advantageously plays the role of a shielding wall vis-à-vis the outside of the body 1, in particular when the device is contained in a bag also containing objects such as for example magnetic cards.
- the part magnetic of the disposable part namely the cartridge 2 either consisting of a ferro-magnetic element 29 not polluting, when we know that magnets are in general made up of several metals, some of which are considered harmful to the environment, and which here constitute an element of the non-disposable part of the device.
- the applicator brush 3 is carried by a piece of plastic material 28 sliding mounted the interior of the tube 14 constituting with the reservoir 13 cartridge 2.
- a ring of ferro-magnetic material 29 surrounds externally part 28 and is therefore located directly opposite the wall of the tube 14, as the sees well in Figures 1 and 2, so power cooperate with the moving magnet 24.
- a joint forming surface 30 will be provided at the root of the bristles of brush 3, to seal between cartridge 2 and the outside of the device when it is in the position of use visible in Figure 1.
- plug 7 When you want to stop using the device, you can close it with plug 7, as is clearly visible in Figure 2. Specifically, by inserting the plug in the space 6 between the sleeve 4 and the ring 5, push the pins 26 and therefore the element magnetic 22 consisting of cylinder 25 and magnet 24, to the left of Figure 2, which will simultaneously cause the brush 3 to the left of said figure. It is to highlight that during this movement, the arms forming rack 21 will rotate the pinions 19, which will bring the push button 15 in the retracted position.
- the cartridge 2 comprises internally a sleeve 40, clearly visible on the Figures 1 and 2, and forming a stop at the back of the part 28 in the tube 14 constituting the active end of said cartridge.
- the removable cartridge of the device can easily be replaced by a another cartridge containing another color product different for example. Also, when the cartridge will be empty and discarded, the ferro-magnetic element 29 associated with the sliding part 28 supporting the brush 3 will not risk polluting the environment.
- the invention is in no way limited to described and illustrated embodiment which has not been given as an example. This is how the number and the material of the elements constituting the body of the device can be any, as well as the structure and constitution of magnetic elements cooperants, especially those of the ring magnet associated with the body of the device and controlled by the side push button.
