Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un organe et à un ensemble d'application d'un produit pâteux ou pulvérulent comprenant un embout d'application souple et flexible. Plus particulièrement, cet ensemble est destiné au stockage et à l'application d'un produit visqueux, notamment cosmétique tel qu'une crème de maquillage, un fard à joue, à lèvres ou à paupières, ou encore une pâte de rouge à lèvres ou de traitement des lèvres (lip-gloss en terminologie anglo-saxonne).The present invention relates to a member and to an assembly for applying a pasty or pulverulent product comprising a flexible and flexible application nozzle. More particularly, this set is intended for the storage and application of a viscous product, in particular a cosmetic product such as a makeup cream, a blush, a lip or an eye shadow, or a lipstick paste or lip treatment (lip-gloss in English terminology).

Les produits de consistance pâteuse destinés en particulier à l'application sur les lèvres sont généralement conditionnés dans des réservoirs de forme allongée et de faible dimension, pourvus d'un applicateur ou organe d'application ; l'ensemble réservoir-applicateur-produit est généralement appelé ensemble d'application.Products of pasty consistency intended in particular for application to the lips are generally packaged in tanks of elongated shape and of small size, provided with an applicator or applicator member; the tank-applicator-product assembly is generally called the application assembly.

Les documents FR-A-2 127 644 et US-A-3 002 517, décrivent un ensemble d'application d'une pâte de rouge à lèvres, muni d'un organe d'application en forme de pinceau creux. Cet ensemble ne permet pas un étalement aisé de la pâte sur les lèvres. En outre, il conduit à l'obtention, sur les lèvres, d'une couche de produit mate et inhomogène. Enfin, cet ensemble-applicateur n'assure pas un maquillage suffisamment précis notamment du contours des lèvres. Ces inconvénients sont généralement mal acceptés par la consommatrice.Documents FR-A-2 127 644 and US-A-3 002 517 describe an assembly for applying a lipstick paste, provided with an application member in the form of a hollow brush. This set does not allow easy spreading of the dough on the lips. In addition, it leads to the obtaining, on the lips, of a layer of mat and inhomogeneous product. Finally, this applicator assembly does not ensure sufficiently precise makeup, in particular of the lip contours. These drawbacks are generally poorly accepted by the consumer.

Par ailleurs, on connaît dans le commerce des ensembles d'application de produits pâteux, comportant comme organe d'application un élément cylindrique creux pourvu d'un canal central d'alimentation en produit ; l'extrémité de cet embout est réalisée en matériau rigide recouvert d'un flocage et est coupée en biais. La surface en biais est imprégnée de produit grâce au canal central et constitue la surface d'étalement.Furthermore, it is known in the trade for assemblies for applying pasty products, comprising as an application member a hollow cylindrical element provided with a central product supply channel; the end of this tip is made of rigid material covered with a flocking and is cut at an angle. The oblique surface is impregnated with product through the central channel and constitutes the spreading surface.

Cet organe d'application ne permet pas non plus un maquillage précis des lèvres. En outre, malgré le flocage, la consommatrice ressent une raideur désagréable, lors de l'application du produit. Cette raideur entraîne notamment le dépôt d'une couche de produit trop mince et peu couvrante, plus spécialement au milieu des lèvres. En outre, cette couche présente des stries inesthétiques aux bords des lèvres. Enfin, cette dernière présente un aspect inhomogène et peu brillant.This applicator member also does not allow precise makeup of the lips. In addition, despite the flocking, the consumer feels an unpleasant stiffness when applying the product. This stiffness results in particular in the deposition of a layer of product which is too thin and not very covering, more especially in the middle of the lips. In addition, this layer has unsightly streaks at the edges of the lips. Finally, the latter has an inhomogeneous and not very shiny appearance.

Aussi, la présente invention a pour objet un organe d'application d'un produit visqueux ou pulvérulent permettant notamment d'éviter les inconvénients ci-dessus et en particulier d'assurer un maquillage esthétique, tout en douceur. Cet organe peut être utilisé pour l'application de tout produit visqueux ou pulvérulent sur un support quelconque en vue d'obtenir le dépôt d'une couche de produit homogène sur le support. Outre, le maquillage, l'organe de l'invention peut être utilisé pour l'enduction d'un film de colle sur un support.Also, the subject of the present invention is a member for applying a viscous or pulverulent product making it possible in particular to avoid the above drawbacks and in particular to ensure an aesthetic make-up, while gently. This member can be used for the application of any viscous or pulverulent product on any support in order to obtain the deposition of a layer of homogeneous product on the support. Besides, make-up, the organ of the invention can be used for coating a film of adhesive on a support.

De façon surprenante, la demanderesse a constaté qu'en utilisant un embout souple ou semi-rigide, de faible diamètre et comportant un flocage de propriété déterminée, on pouvait obtenir un maquillage des lèvres, précis et homogène, d'un aspect esthétique et brillant.Surprisingly, the Applicant has found that by using a flexible or semi-rigid tip, of small diameter and comprising a flocking of determined property, one could obtain a make-up of the lips, precise and homogeneous, of an esthetic and brilliant aspect.

En outre, l'organe d'application selon l'invention comportant un tel embout permet l'utilisation de pâtes de rouge à lèvres très chargées en pigments, dont l'application sur les lèvres donne un résultat très satisfaisant, contrairement aux organes d'application de l'art antérieur. En effet, ces derniers sont nullement appropriés à ce genre de produit.In addition, the applicator member according to the invention comprising such a tip allows the use of lipstick pastes heavily loaded with pigments, the application of which on the lips gives a very satisfactory result, unlike the application of the prior art. Indeed, these are in no way suitable for this kind of product.

Ainsi, l'invention a pour objet un organe d'application d'un produit de consistance pâteuse ou pulvérulente, comprenant un élément de préhension et une tige ayant une première extrémité libre solidaire d'un embout d'application, destiné au prélèvement du produit et à l'application de ce produit sur une surface à traiter, une seconde extrémité de la tige étant solidaire de l'élément de préhension, l'embout d'application présentant une âme centrale flexible ayant, au moins dans une portion proche de sa partie terminale, un diamètre de 0,2 mm à 2 mm, et cette âme étant couverte sur toute ou partie de sa périphérie d'un revêtement capable d'accrocher ledit produit, caractérisé en ce que le diamètre de l'embout d'application, au moins dans une portion proche de sa partie terminale, mesuré jusqu'en surface du revêtement, est au moins trois fois supérieur au diamètre de l'âme.Thus, the subject of the invention is a member for applying a product of pasty or pulverulent consistency, comprising a gripping element and a rod having a first free end secured to an application tip, intended for removing the product. and when applying this product to a surface to be treated, a second end of the rod being integral with the gripping element, the application nozzle having a flexible central core having, at least in a portion close to its terminal part, a diameter of 0.2 mm to 2 mm, and this core being covered over all or part of its periphery with a coating capable of catching said product, characterized in that the diameter of the application tip , at least in a portion close to its terminal part, measured up to the surface of the coating, is at least three times greater than the diameter of the core.

Ainsi, le diamètre de l'embout d'application chargé en produit, au moins dans une portion proche de sa partie terminale, est de préférence au moins quatre fois supérieur au diamètre de l'âme de l'applicateur.Thus, the diameter of the application nozzle loaded with product, at least in a portion close to its terminal part, is preferably at least four times greater than the diameter of the core of the applicator.

En plus des avantages mentionnés précédemment, l'organe d'application présente, de façon surprenante, une autonomie en produit chargé suffisante pour assurer, lorsque le produit est une pâte de rouge à lèvres, un maquillage convenable des deux lèvres. En effet, en tournant légèrement l'organe d'application sur les lèvres, la consommatrice utilise la totalité du produit accroché sur l'embout. En appliquant, ensuite, cet embout perpendiculairement aux lèvres, on obtient un étalement homogène du produit sur les lèvres, car les zones de souplesse de l'embout permettent d'éviter la formation de stries. En appliquant enfin cet organe d'application sur le contour des lèvres, à la manière d'un pinceau, il est possible de dessiner, avec une grande exactitude, le contour des lèvres. L'organe d'application de l'invention permet donc de dessiner le pourtour des lèvres et de colorer les lèvres avec un seul appareil contrairement à l'art antérieur. Il remplace avantageusement, le crayon à lèvres et le bâton de rouge à lèvres.In addition to the advantages mentioned above, the applicator member has, surprisingly, sufficient autonomy in loaded product sufficient to ensure, when the product is a lipstick paste, suitable makeup of the two lips. In fact, by slightly turning the applicator member on the lips, the consumer uses all of the product attached to the nozzle. By applying, then, this tip perpendicular to the lips, a uniform spreading of the product is obtained on the lips, since the flexibility zones of the tip make it possible to avoid the formation of streaks. By finally applying this applicator member to the contour of the lips, in the manner of a brush, it is possible to draw, with great accuracy, the contour of the lips. The applicator of the invention therefore makes it possible to draw the periphery of the lips and to color the lips with a single device, unlike the prior art. It replaces advantageously, the lip pencil and the lipstick stick.

De préférence, le diamètre de cet embout est d'environ 0,2 mm à 1,5 mm, et plus particulièrement de 0,4 mm à 0,6 mm, au moins dans une portion proche de sa partie terminale.Preferably, the diameter of this tip is approximately 0.2 mm to 1.5 mm, and more particularly from 0.4 mm to 0.6 mm, at least in a portion close to its terminal part.

Avantageusement, l'embout d'application est réalisé en un matériau élastomérique souple ou semi-rigide. De préférence, ce matériau peut être constitué par un élastomère dont la dureté Shore A est de l'ordre de 25 à 40, choisi dans le groupe des thermoplastiques, des élastomères thermoplastiques, des caoutchoucs naturels et synthétiques. Le cas échéant, cet embout d'application peut être en mousse alvéolée à cellules ouvertes ou fermées.Advantageously, the application tip is made of a flexible or semi-rigid elastomeric material. Preferably, this material may consist of an elastomer whose Shore A hardness is of the order of 25 to 40, chosen from the group of thermoplastics, thermoplastic elastomers, natural and synthetic rubbers. If necessary, this application tip can be of cellular foam with open or closed cells.

La souplesse de l'embout peut être obtenue soit par le choix du matériau le constituant soit par la forme dudit embout. Il est aussi possible de jouer sur les deux aspects, ce qui permet l'emploi de matériaux flexibles ou semi-rigides.The flexibility of the tip can be obtained either by the choice of the material constituting it or by the shape of said tip. It is also possible to play on both aspects, which allows the use of flexible or semi-rigid materials.

De préférence, le revêtement de l'embout d'application est constitué d'un revêtement de flocage obtenu par des fibres naturelles ou synthétiques, telles que des fibres de coton, de polyamide, de polyester etc... Généralement, ces fibres ont un diamètre d'environ 50 µm à 250 µm. Avantageusement, leur longueur est d'environ 0,3 mm à 2 mm.Preferably, the coating of the application tip consists of a flock coating obtained by natural or synthetic fibers, such as cotton, polyamide, polyester fibers, etc. Generally, these fibers have a diameter from about 50 µm to 250 µm. Advantageously, their length is approximately 0.3 mm to 2 mm.

De préférence, l'embout d'application a une section choisie parmi les sections circulaire, triangulaire et ovale. En outre, pour obtenir une plus grande surface de portée sur le support à enduire, l'embout peut être courbé et présenté ainsi la forme d'une poulaine. Cette forme facilite encore le maquillage des lèvres supérieures, en favorisant aussi la précision du tracé.Preferably, the application tip has a section chosen from among the circular, triangular and oval sections. In addition, to obtain a greater bearing surface on the support to be coated, the end piece can be curved and thus presented the shape of a foal. This shape further facilitates makeup of the upper lips, also favoring the precision of the outline.

L'invention a aussi pour objet un ensemble d'application d'un produit de consistance pâteuse, comportant un réservoir de produit, muni d'un col et un organe d'application, caractérisé en ce que l'organe d'application est tel de décrit précédemment, l'élément de préhension dudit organe d'application étant, alors, monté sur le col du réservoir.The invention also relates to an assembly for applying a product of pasty consistency, comprising a product reservoir, provided with a neck and an application member, characterized in that the application member is such described above, the gripping element of said applicator member being then mounted on the neck of the reservoir.

Cet ensemble d'application peut comporter, en outre, un organe d'essorage annulaire fixé sur le col du réservoir et traversé par la tige, cet organe étant apte à essorer cette tige et/ou l'embout d'application. Avantageusement, cet organe d'essorage a la forme d'un doigt de gant pourvu d'un orifice de passage central, cet orifice ou la partie essorante de l'essoreur (cas d'un double essoreur) pouvant également avoir reçu un flocage.This application assembly may further comprise an annular wiping member fixed to the neck of the reservoir and crossed by the rod, this member being capable of wringing this rod and / or the application nozzle. Advantageously, this wiping member has the shape of a thermowell provided with a central passage orifice, this orifice or the wringing part of the wringer (in the case of a double wringer) may also have received flocking.

Dans l'ensemble d'application, l'embout d'application se trouve immergé dans le produit. Lors de l'utilisation, l'applicateur est retiré du réservoir, après avoir traversé l'organe d'essorage ; ce dernier assure ainsi une répartition homogène du produit sur l'embout d'application.In the application assembly, the application tip is immersed in the product. In use, the applicator is removed from the reservoir, after having passed through the wiping member; the latter thus ensures a homogeneous distribution of the product on the application nozzle.

L'organe et l'ensemble d'application ainsi constitués peuvent être utilisés pour l'application de produits ayant une viscosité allant de 5 cp à 80 cp (5.10-3 Pa.s à 80.10-3 Pa.s). Ce produit est, de préférence, une pâte de rouge à lèvres ou un fard à paupières pulvérulent.The member and the application assembly thus formed can be used for the application of products having a viscosity ranging from 5 cp to 80 cp (5.10 -3 Pa.s to 80.10 -3 Pa.s). This product is preferably a lipstick paste or a powdery eyeshadow.

Aussi, l'invention a aussi pour objet un ensemble d'application d'un pâte de rouge à lèvres, comportant un réservoir de pâte, muni d'un col et un organe d'application, caractérisé en ce que l'organe d'application est tel de décrit précédemment, l'élément de préhension dudit organe étant, alors, monté sur le col du réservoir.Also, the invention also relates to an assembly for applying a lipstick paste, comprising a reservoir of paste, provided with a neck and an applicator member, characterized in that the member for application is as described previously, the gripping element of said member then being mounted on the neck of the reservoir.

Pour mieux faire comprendre la présente invention, on va décrire ci-après, à titre d'exemples purement illustratifs et nullement limitatifs, plusieurs modes de réalisation d'applicateurs et d'ensemble d'application, conformes à l'invention, représentés sur les dessins annexés.To better understand the present invention, we will describe below, by way of purely illustrative and in no way limitative, several embodiments of applicators and set of applications, in accordance with the invention, represented on the attached drawings.

La figure 1 représente une coupe axiale d'un ensemble d'application, conforme à l'invention, en position de stockage.Figure 1 shows an axial section of an application assembly, according to the invention, in the storage position.

Les figures 2 à 4 montrent, à plus grande échelle, trois formes de réalisation de l'embout d'application.Figures 2 to 4 show, on a larger scale, three embodiments of the application tip.

La figure 5 représente une coupe axiale agrandie de la figure 1 montrant l'organe d'essorage et l'embout d'application en phase d'extraction.5 shows an enlarged axial section of Figure 1 showing the wiper member and the application nozzle in the extraction phase.

Sur la figure 1 on a désigné par la référence 1, un ensemble d'application conforme à l'invention. Il comprend un réservoir 2 de forme cylindrique fermé par un fond 3. De son côté opposé au fond 3, le réservoir se prolonge par un col 4 de diamètre plus faible que celui du réservoir. Le col 4 porte un filetage externe coopérant avec un filetage interne d'un manchon cylindrique 6 qui sert d'élément de préhension d'un applicateur 10, plongeant en permanence dans le produit P, lorsque le manchon 6 est fixé sur le col 4 du réservoir. Ce produit est, par exemple, une crème colorée pour les lèvres de consistance visqueuse.In Figure 1 we have designated by reference 1, an application assembly according to the invention. It comprises a tank 2 of cylindrical shape closed by a bottom 3. On its side opposite to the bottom 3, the tank is extended by a neck 4 of smaller diameter than that of the tank. The neck 4 carries an external thread cooperating with an internal thread of a cylindrical sleeve 6 which serves as a gripping element of an applicator 10, plunging permanently into the product P, when the sleeve 6 is fixed on the neck 4 of the tank. This product is, for example, a colored lip cream with a viscous consistency.

Dans le manchon 6 est fixée une tige 12, portant une extension radiale 18 située à l'intérieur du manchon, sensiblement de même diamètre que le col 4. L'applicateur supporté par une des extrémités de la tige peut être moulé avec celle-ci puis floqué. L'applicateur peut aussi être claqué, collé ou soudé dans la tige.In the sleeve 6 is fixed a rod 12, carrying a radial extension 18 located inside the sleeve, substantially of the same diameter as the neck 4. The applicator supported by one end of the rod can be molded therewith. then flocked. The applicator can also be slammed, glued or welded into the rod.

Dans le col est inséré un organe d'essorage 8 en forme de doigt de gant présentant, du côté du réservoir, une lèvre d'essorage circulaire 9. Du côté opposé, ce doigt de gant 8 présente une collerette 11 s'étendant radialement vers l'extérieur, cette collerette reposant ainsi sur le col 4 du réservoir. En position assemblée de l'ensemble 1, la collerette 11 vient en appui contre l'extension radiale 18 de la tige, faisant ainsi fonction de joint d'étanchéité. L'organe d'essorage 8 est constitué d'un matériau élastomérique, pouvant être choisi parmi les élastomères thermoplastiques et les caoutchoucs naturels ou synthétiques.In the neck is inserted a wiping member 8 in the form of a glove finger having, on the side of the reservoir, a circular wiping lip 9. On the opposite side, this glove finger 8 has a flange 11 extending radially towards outside, this collar thus resting on the neck 4 of the reservoir. In the assembled position of the assembly 1, the flange 11 bears against the radial extension 18 of the rod, thus acting as a seal. The wiper member 8 is made of an elastomeric material, which can be chosen from thermoplastic elastomers and natural or synthetic rubbers.

La tige a un diamètre d'environ 3 mm. Son extrémité libre porte un embout d'application conique allongé 16, qui a une partie terminale en forme de pointe 17. Cet embout 16 est moulé en matériau thermoplastique, par exemple en polyuréthanne. Il est fixé sur la tige par thermosoudage, collage ou tout autre moyen adapté. La surface de l'embout est partiellement voire totalement couverte d'un flocage constitué de fibres de polyamide, de rayonne, de coton ayant un diamètre d'environ 70 µm et une longueur d'environ 1,2 mm.The rod has a diameter of about 3 mm. Its free end carries an elongated conical application tip 16, which has a terminal part in the form of tip 17. This tip 16 is molded from a thermoplastic material, for example from polyurethane. It is fixed to the rod by heat sealing, gluing or any other suitable means. The surface of the tip is partially or even completely covered with a flocking made of polyamide, rayon, cotton fibers having a diameter of approximately 70 μm and a length of approximately 1.2 mm.

Une zone de jonction 15 de l'embout 16 est prévue, près de l'extrémité 14. Elle présente une section réduite, conférant à l'embout, lors de l'application du produit P sur les lèvres, une grande souplesse.A junction zone 15 of the endpiece 16 is provided, near the end 14. It has a reduced section, giving the endpiece, when applying the product P to the lips, great flexibility.

Les figures 2 à 4 montrent, à une échelle agrandie, trois formes de réalisation de l'embout d'application (16a, 16b, 16c). On voit que chaque embout comporte une âme centrale 20 présentant une partie terminale 17 effilée. Suivant les réalisations des figures 16a et 16b, l'embout a la forme générale d'une carotte ; la réalisation de la figure 3 est, en outre, plus effilée que celle de la figure 2. Sur la figure 4, l'embout a la forme d'un cône allongé dont la pointe 17 est effilée. Une forme en poulaine peut aussi être envisagée.Figures 2 to 4 show, on an enlarged scale, three embodiments of the application nozzle (16a, 16b, 16c). We see that each end piece has a central core 20 having a tapered end portion 17. According to the embodiments of Figures 16a and 16b, the tip has the general shape of a carrot; the embodiment of Figure 3 is, moreover, more tapered than that of Figure 2. In Figure 4, the tip has the shape of an elongated cone whose tip 17 is tapered. A foal shape can also be considered.

La longueur de l'embout 16 est d'environ 8 mm à 22 mm. Cet embout 16 peut avoir une section circulaire, triangulaire ou ovale. Le diamètre de sa partie terminale 17 peut varier entre 0,2 mm et 2 mm ; de préférence, il est compris dans la gamme allant de 0,2 mm à 1,5 mm, et plus particulièrement de 0,4 mm à 0,6 mm.The length of the nozzle 16 is approximately 8 mm to 22 mm. This nozzle 16 may have a circular, triangular or oval section. The diameter of its terminal part 17 can vary between 0.2 mm and 2 mm; preferably, it is included in the range from 0.2 mm to 1.5 mm, and more particularly from 0.4 mm to 0.6 mm.

La figure 5 montre l'organe d'essorage 8 avec l'embout d'application 16 en phase d'extraction. On voit que l'organe 8 comporte un bourrelet interne 13 destiné à essorer la tige 12 de l'applicateur. La lèvre d'essorage 9 est pourvue d'un flocage 26 dont le diamètre interne 24 est dimensionné de sorte que la surface floquée de la lèvre d'essorage 26 effectue, lors de l'extraction de l'embout 16 hors du réservoir 2, un étalement homogène du produit sur cet embout 16.Figure 5 shows the wiper member 8 with the application nozzle 16 in the extraction phase. It can be seen that the member 8 has an internal bead 13 intended to wring the rod 12 of the applicator. The wiping lip 9 is provided with a flocking 26 whose internal diameter 24 is dimensioned so that the flocked surface of the wiping lip 26 performs, during the extraction of the nozzle 16 from the reservoir 2, homogeneous spreading of the product on this nozzle 16.

La figure 6 illustre l'application du produit P sur une surface, par exemple les lèvres. On voit que, grâce à la souplesse de l'embout 16, ce dernier épouse la surface à maquiller. En outre, le maquillage se fait en toute douceur. A l'aide de cet applicateur, l'utilisatrice peut effectuer un maquillage précis et homogène des lèvres, présentant un aspect esthétique et brillant. De plus, l'applicateur 16 peut contenir suffisamment de produit pour effectuer le maquillage des deux lèvres d'un seul trait, sans avoir besoin de replonger l'applicateur dans le réservoir 2. Ceci permet un gain de temps pour le maquillage.FIG. 6 illustrates the application of product P to a surface, for example the lips. It can be seen that, thanks to the flexibility of the endpiece 16, the latter follows the surface to be made up. In addition, makeup is done very gently. Using this applicator, the user can make a precise and homogeneous makeup of the lips, having an aesthetic and shiny appearance. In addition, the applicator 16 can contain sufficient product to make up the two lips at once, without the need to plunge the applicator back into the reservoir 2. This saves time for making up.
