Definitions
- the subject of the invention is a new product applicator, liquid to pasty, in particular mascara, for keratin fibers, as well as a transportable packaging assembly for this product, in particular mascara, provided with this new applicator.
- the “bread” mascara for example, as shown in the appended FIG. 1a, are used with a brush 3 of the shoe-brush type, the bristles of which are rubbed 6 on a moist mascara bar.
- the application surface of the mascara is the surface formed by the tips of the bristles of the brush.
- we see the brush 3 loading an eyelash 2 the bristles 6 being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the eyelash.
- the charge variation is proportional to the viscosity of the dough formed by the moist bread.
- the use of such a device is tedious: in fact, on the one hand it requires the preparation and the prior dosage of the paste and on the other hand, the gesture of the makeup is very imprecise.
- Numerous mascara application and conditioning devices comprising a rigid tubular body open at one end, containing the mascara, and an applicator capable of being housed in this body, immersed in the mascara and provided with a brush. An element housed in the body wipes the brush when the applicator is removed from the body.
- a device is described for example in US 4, 403, 624.
- FIG. 1b represents an applicator referenced 1 as a whole, in accordance with these applicators of the prior art, and an eyelash 2.
- the applicator 1 is provided with a brush 3 comprising a central core 4 formed of twisted wires 5 enclosing bristles 6. These bristles 6 form a spiral, the axis of which is the core 4.
- the makeup of the keratin fibers, in particular of the eyelashes 2 is done by rotating the applicator 1 along the core 4.
- the smoothing of the eyelashes 2 is therefore done with bristles 6 oriented perpendicular to the eyelashes.
- the formula of mascara is very often sheared and it loses the qualities due to its particular viscosity: the formula can form lumps, this phenomenon causing poor eyelash straightening.
- This requires the use of shear insensitive compositions and limits the number of mascara compositions that can be used. This is particularly the case for mascara with a high pigment load.
- the element housed in the body for wringing the brush causes, when the latter is withdrawn, an unpleasant suction noise due to the depression created inside the body.
- FR-A-2 620 603 describes an assembly making it possible to transport several instruments from a make-up box. There is however no question of mascara applicator.
- the present invention aims to satisfy such a need.
- the object of the invention is therefore a new product applicator, liquid to pasty, in particular mascara, comprising a flat handle and at least one tuft of hairs implanted parallel to the plane of the handle, the width of the free end of the tuft of hairs, measured in a first direction parallel to this plane, being at least equal to a quarter of an arc of eyelashes, the hairs being able to load this product, in particular mascara, on keratin fibers along an axis longitudinal of these.
- the product intended to be applied by the applicator according to the invention can be any liquid to pasty product, such as fluids comprising pigments and / or fillers, and in particular hair dye or mascara.
- the keratin fibers can be in particular the eyelashes, the eyebrows, the hair, the body hair.
- tuft of hairs is meant according to the present invention, a hair or a set of several hairs.
- Document FR-A-2 564 712 discloses an applicator for cosmetic products comprising an elongated handle and bristles extending axially over one of the ends of the handle.
- this applicator is intended for making up confined areas such as the eyelashes at the corners of the eyes and the width of its hairy part is ill-suited to making up the whole of an arc of eyelashes.
- the applicator according to the invention has many advantages.
- the handle is flat and can be easily taken between the thumb and the index finger.
- the handle can also be substantially curved so as to follow the shape of the fingers, in particular the thumb.
- the application of the product is no longer done in an uncertain way by rotating the applicator along its axis as in known applicators, but by smoothing the keratin fibers, and in particular the eyelashes, over their entire length, by their base towards their end, the hairs tangling the eyelashes.
- the gesture is much simpler than with known applicators. It is also possible to tilt the applicator at will and thus curl the eyelashes according to the desired curvature.
- FIG. 2 attached shows an applicator 1 according to the invention, comprising a handle 8 and bristles 6. With this type of applicator, the bristles 6 are used over their entire length. Optimal loading of the eyelashes is obtained 2.
- the bristles have an effective length to allow the eyelashes to load along the axis of the bristles. They can be of different shapes and lengths, have capillary grooves or asperities, these various configurations ensuring both better loading of the product on the eyelashes and better separation of the latter.
- the bristles are shaped in tufts arranged in parallel lines or in staggered rows.
- the set of hairs can thus make one think of whalebone.
- the bristles can also be rigid or semi-rigid, this rigidity ensuring a more effective smoothing of the eyelashes and a very good curl of the latter.
- the bristles can be of elastically deformable material, metal, glass, wood.
- the applicator handle may be made of plastic. It is thus possible to produce an applicator comprising only organic materials.
- the particular length of the bristles, as well as their different shapes ensure a load on the eyelashes adapted to the user's wishes: thus, it is possible to mix fine hairs, thick hairs, short, longer, flocked hairs, hairs comprising roughness, bristles of different stiffness depending on the desired load. Thick, flocked hairs will load more mascara onto the lashes. Bristles with capillary grooves or asperities will better separate the eyelashes. More rigid bristles, as well as a particular inclination of the handle, will ensure an ideal curl of the eyelashes.
- the hairs may also include slip agents such as molybdenum disulphide, bactericidal agents such as the product “Microban” sold by the company Microban Product Company, or even moisture-absorbing agents which soften the hairs and change their surface tension.
- slip agents such as molybdenum disulphide, bactericidal agents such as the product “Microban” sold by the company Microban Product Company, or even moisture-absorbing agents which soften the hairs and change their surface tension.
- the invention also relates to a packaging assembly comprising the applicator defined above and a product reservoir, liquid to pasty, in particular mascara, provided with a wringer.
- the wringer has a window whose largest dimension is oriented in the first direction defined above.
- the assembly thus defined ensures that the hairs are wrung out parallel to their longitudinal axis and avoids the unpleasant suction noise when the applicator is withdrawn.
- the product formula is not broken and the shearing phenomenon does not take place. This therefore authorizes the use of mascara formulas which are generally sensitive to shear and opens the door to new mascara formulations.
- the configuration of the bristles, advantageously in tufts parallel to the plane of the handle, and not in a spiral as in known mascara, also prevents the projection of the product.
- the applicator referenced 1 as a whole essentially comprises a handle 8 and tufts 9 of bristles 6.
- the handle 8 comprises two flat parts, a first part 10 in which the tufts 9 of bristles 6, and a second part 11 inclined with respect to the first part 10.
- the two parts are integral and made in one piece but they could be articulated.
- a first direction X is defined, contained in the plane of the part 10 of the handle 8 and directed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A of this handle, a second direction Y, perpendicular to the plane of the part 10 of the handle 8 and a third direction Z perpendicular to X and Y.
- the tufts 9 of bristles 6 are planted in the part 10 parallel to the plane of the latter and in a direction substantially parallel to Z.
- the handle has a length, measured along Z, ranging from 1 to 4 cm.
- the tufts of hair are indifferently planted, glued, stapled or over-injected in part 10. They are arranged in rows 7, two different hairs 6 being at most 3 mm apart, measured at their base 15 and in the direction X, and d 'at most 2 mm, measured at their free end 17 and always in the direction X. In Figure 3, the tufts of hair are arranged in two rows 7 parallel and aligned opposite one another.
- the width of all the tufts 9 of bristles 6, measured at the free end of the bristles in the direction X, is at least equal to a quarter of an arc of eyelashes and in particular greater than 0.75 cm, of preferably ranging from 0.75 to 3 cm.
- the thickness of all the tufts 9 of bristles 6, also measured at the free end of the bristles and in the direction Y, is at most equal to the thickness of the handle, in particular of the part 10, also measured according to the Y direction. In practice, this thickness is chosen from 0.5 mm to 5 mm.
- the length of the bristles 6, measured in the direction Z, is sufficient to allow the eyelashes to load along the axis of the bristles. This length is preferably greater than 5 mm and can go up to 60 mm. It is preferably between 5 and 40 mm, and even more preferably between 10 and 30 mm. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the bristles have a length ranging from 15 to 20 mm.
- the hairs of the applicator according to the invention generally have a diameter ranging from 0.04 to 0.7 mm, preferably from 0.05 to 0.6 mm, and even more preferably from 0.06 to 0.4 mm. Their hardness can range from 10 shore A to 60 shore D.
- the bristles can have identical or different natures, shapes, lengths.
- the bristles 6 of the applicator 1 according to the invention can be natural or synthetic. They can be made of vegetable or natural fibers, metal, such as steel, glass, wood, or elastically deformable materials such as vulcanized elastomers, thermoplastic materials. In particular, they can be made of thermoplastic over-injected into the handle, as shown in FIG. 7. Preferably, the bristles are synthetic.
- the bristles may include balls 24 obtained by carding, as shown in FIG. 4c. These balls can be located at different pile heights.
- the hairs may have been bombarded with gamma or beta rays to change their surface state. They may have been ground for tapering. Their free end may be in the form of a nail 25, as shown in Figure 4d, or a fork 26, as shown in Figure 4e.
- the bristles may include one or more capillary grooves of different sections such as the grooves 12 shown in FIG. 4a; the tufts of bristles can be cut in a bevel shape 27, or in a concave 28 or convex 29 shape, as shown in FIG. 4b; they may have asperities 14, such as the hair shown in Figure 8; they can be curved, or have undulations over their entire length, like the pile 30 shown in FIG. 4f.
- the applicator can also be provided with a flock 13, that is to say with a capillary or impregnable foam taken between two rows 7 of bristles 6, as shown in FIG. 5. Such a flock ensures better loading mascara hair.
- FIG. 5 is further distinguished from FIG. 3 by the fact that the handle is made in a single flat piece whose mean plane is contained in the plane defined by the directions X and Z.
- FIG. 11 differs from FIG. 3 by the fact that the set of bristles forms a curve, that the handle 8 is articulated around a hinge 31 and that it has two stop notches 32 for blocking the handle either parallel to the bristles, either in an inclined position.
- the hinge can be a film hinge.
- FIG. 11 The characteristics shown in FIG. 11 can be adapted to the applicators of FIGS. 2 to 10.
- FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of the applicator according to the invention, the handle 8 of which is flexible.
- the handle 8 here has three parts: a part 10 similar to that of FIG. 3, a central part 19 of which the thickness is less than that of part 10, and a third part 20, located in the extension of parts 10 and 19, and whose thickness is substantially equal to that of part 10. Thanks to part 19, the handle 8 is flexible and the applicator can thus be tilted relative to the eyelashes as desired by the user. Such a flexible handle also gives more softness to the makeup when the application of the product is made using rigid or semi-rigid bristles.
- FIG. 7 represents an applicator whose bristles 6 have different lengths and are over-injected into the handle 8.
- the tufts 9 of bristles 6 are staggered.
- FIG. 10 represents a packaging assembly 16 for mascara comprising the applicator 1 and a reservoir 18 of mascara 21.
- the assembly 16 is shown closed, the applicator 1 playing the role of plug.
- the reservoir 18 includes a wringer 22.
- the bristles 6 plunge into the mascara 21.
- the bristles 6 are then wrung out by the wringer 22, by simply smoothing the bristles, without any modification of their orientation.
- This set is relatively compact and can be easily transported.
- such an applicator is used in a very simple manner, in combination with a reservoir of mascara as described above or even with a “bread” mascara by rubbing the applicator of the invention on the moistened bread.
- the mascara is applied to the eyelashes in an extremely simple manner, the gesture for smoothing the eyelashes being done from bottom to top, from the base from the eyelashes towards their ends, the hairs of the applicator being parallel to the eyelashes.
- the gesture is also much more precise than that of the prior art (cf. Fig. 1a and 1b). Indeed, the flat handle and the particular configuration of this applicator allow on the one hand, to hold it easily during use, and on the other hand, to make a better calculated makeup, facing the eyelashes, thanks to a gesture more ample and freer. Such an applicator allows the user to truly accompany the hairs along the eyelashes and to load them very precisely.
- the user can finish their gesture by tilting the applicator so as to bring the hairs perpendicular to the eyelashes. It can thus perfectly separate and curl them thanks to the extreme tip of the bristles.
- the handle may for example be molded plastic, wood or any other material usually used in the manufacture of applicators.
- the applicator according to the invention has the advantage of not having a central metallic core. It can therefore be entirely made of organic materials and be recyclable.

Abstract
Description
L'invention a pour objet un nouvel applicateur de produit, liquide à pâteux, en particulier du mascara, pour fibres kératiniques, ainsi qu'un ensemble de conditionnement transportable pour ce produit, en particulier du mascara, muni de ce nouvel applicateur.The subject of the invention is a new product applicator, liquid to pasty, in particular mascara, for keratin fibers, as well as a transportable packaging assembly for this product, in particular mascara, provided with this new applicator.
Il a été proposé de nombreux dispositifs d'application et de conditionnement de mascara. Les mascara « pain » par exemple, comme représenté sur la figure 1a annexée, sont utilisés avec une brosse 3 de type brosse à cirage, dont on frotte le bout des poils 6 sur un pain de mascara humecté. La surface d'application du mascara est la surface constituée par le bout des poils de la brosse. Sur cette figure, on voit la brosse 3 chargeant un cil 2, les poils 6 étant perpendiculaires à l'axe longitudinal du cil. La variation de charge est proportionnelle à la viscosité de la pâte constituée par le pain humecté. L'utilisation d'un tel dispositif est fastidieuse: en effet, d'une part elle demande la préparation et le dosage préalable de la pâte et d'autre part, le geste du maquillage est très peu précis.Numerous mascara application and conditioning devices have been proposed. The “bread” mascara, for example, as shown in the appended FIG. 1a, are used with a
Il a également été proposé de nombreux dispositifs d'application et de conditionnement de mascara comportant un corps rigide tubulaire ouvert à une extrémité, contenant le mascara, et un applicateur apte à être logé dans ce corps, plongeant dans le mascara et muni d'une brosse. Un élément logé dans le corps assure l'essorage de la brosse lorsque l'on retire l'applicateur du corps. Un tel dispositif est décrit par exemple dans US 4, 403, 624.Numerous mascara application and conditioning devices have also been proposed comprising a rigid tubular body open at one end, containing the mascara, and an applicator capable of being housed in this body, immersed in the mascara and provided with a brush. An element housed in the body wipes the brush when the applicator is removed from the body. Such a device is described for example in US 4, 403, 624.
La figure 1b annexée représente un applicateur référencé 1 dans son ensemble, conforme à ces applicateurs de l'art antérieur, et un cil 2. L'applicateur 1 est muni d'une brosse 3 comportant une âme centrale 4 formée de fils 5 torsadés enserrant des poils 6. Ces poils 6 forment une spirale dont l'axe est l'âme 4. Le maquillage des fibres kératiniques, en particulier des cils 2, se fait en faisant pivoter l'applicateur 1 selon l'âme 4. Le lissage des cils 2 se fait donc avec des poils 6 orientés perpendiculairement aux cils.The appended FIG. 1b represents an applicator referenced 1 as a whole, in accordance with these applicators of the prior art, and an
Ces applicateurs présentent de nombreux inconvénients. En effet, ils ne permettent pas toujours une charge optimale des fibres kératiniques, et en particulier des cils : les poils de la brosse, disposés en spirale perpendiculairement à l'âme centrale de celle-ci, sont courts et il est très difficile de lisser les cils sur toute leur longueur. Le geste, qui consiste à faire pivoter l'applicateur selon son axe longitudinal, est également malaisé et très imprécis. Les cils ne sont pas toujours bien séparés.These applicators have many drawbacks. Indeed, they do not always allow optimal loading of keratin fibers, and in particular of the eyelashes: the bristles of the brush, arranged in a spiral perpendicular to the central core thereof, are short and it is very difficult to smooth eyelashes along their entire length. The gesture, which consists in rotating the applicator along its longitudinal axis, is also difficult and very imprecise. The eyelashes are not always well separated.
De plus, l'essorage de la brosse se faisant perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal de ces poils, la formule du mascara se trouve très souvent cisaillée et elle perd les qualités dues à sa viscosité particulière : la formule peut former des grumeaux, ce phénomène entraînant un mauvais lissage des cils. Ceci nécessite d'utiliser des compositions insensibles au cisaillement et limite le nombre de compositions de mascara utilisables. C'est en particulier le cas pour les mascara à forte charge pigmentaire. Enfin, l'élément logé dans le corps pour l'essorage de la brosse provoque, lors du retrait de cette dernière, un bruit de succion désagréable dû à la dépression créée à l'intérieur du corps.In addition, the wringing of the brush being done perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of these bristles, the formula of mascara is very often sheared and it loses the qualities due to its particular viscosity: the formula can form lumps, this phenomenon causing poor eyelash straightening. This requires the use of shear insensitive compositions and limits the number of mascara compositions that can be used. This is particularly the case for mascara with a high pigment load. Finally, the element housed in the body for wringing the brush causes, when the latter is withdrawn, an unpleasant suction noise due to the depression created inside the body.
FR-A-2 620 603 décrit un ensemble permettant de transporter plusieurs instruments d'une boîte à fard. Il n'y est cependant pas question d'applicateur de mascara.FR-A-2 620 603 describes an assembly making it possible to transport several instruments from a make-up box. There is however no question of mascara applicator.
Il subsiste donc le besoin d'un applicateur de produit, en particulier du mascara, qui assurerait une meilleure charge des fibres kératiniques, en particulier des cils, ainsi qu'une séparation optimale de ces derniers, tout en étant extrêmement simple d'utilisation.There therefore remains the need for a product applicator, in particular mascara, which would ensure better loading of the keratin fibers, in particular of the eyelashes, as well as an optimal separation of the latter, while being extremely simple to use.
La présente invention vise à la satisfaction d'un tel besoin.The present invention aims to satisfy such a need.
L'objet de l'invention est donc un nouvel applicateur de produit, liquide à pâteux, en particulier de mascara, comportant un manche plat et au moins une touffe de poils implantée parallèlement au plan du manche, la largeur de l'extrémité libre de la touffe de poils, mesurée selon une première direction parallèle à ce plan, étant au moins égale à un quart d'un arc de cils, les poils étant aptes à charger ce produit, en particulier du mascara, sur des fibres kératiniques selon un axe longitudinal de ces dernières.The object of the invention is therefore a new product applicator, liquid to pasty, in particular mascara, comprising a flat handle and at least one tuft of hairs implanted parallel to the plane of the handle, the width of the free end of the tuft of hairs, measured in a first direction parallel to this plane, being at least equal to a quarter of an arc of eyelashes, the hairs being able to load this product, in particular mascara, on keratin fibers along an axis longitudinal of these.
Le produit destiné à être appliqué par l'applicateur selon l'invention peut être tout produit liquide à pâteux, tels que des fluides comprenant des pigments et/ou des charges, et en particulier de la teinture pour cheveux ou du mascara. Les fibres kératiniques peuvent être en particulier les cils, les sourcils, les cheveux, les poils.The product intended to be applied by the applicator according to the invention can be any liquid to pasty product, such as fluids comprising pigments and / or fillers, and in particular hair dye or mascara. The keratin fibers can be in particular the eyelashes, the eyebrows, the hair, the body hair.
Par touffe de poils, on entend selon la présente invention, un poil ou un ensemble de plusieurs poils.By tuft of hairs is meant according to the present invention, a hair or a set of several hairs.
Il est connu du document FR-A-2 564 712 un applicateur de produits cosmétiques comportant un manche allongé et des poils s'étendant axialement sur l'une des extrémités du manche. Toutefois, cet applicateur est destiné à maquiller des zones confinées telles que les cils aux coins des yeux et la largeur de sa partie poilue est mal adaptée au maquillage de l'ensemble d'un arc de cils.Document FR-A-2 564 712 discloses an applicator for cosmetic products comprising an elongated handle and bristles extending axially over one of the ends of the handle. However, this applicator is intended for making up confined areas such as the eyelashes at the corners of the eyes and the width of its hairy part is ill-suited to making up the whole of an arc of eyelashes.
L'applicateur selon l'invention présente de nombreux avantages.The applicator according to the invention has many advantages.
En particulier, son utilisation est facilitée par rapport aux applicateurs de mascara déjà connus. En effet, le manche est plat et peut être aisément pris entre le pouce et l'index. Pour une prise encore plus facilitée de l'applicateur, le manche peut également être sensiblement incurvé de façon à épouser la forme des doigts, en particulier du pouce. Ainsi, l'application du produit ne se fait plus de façon incertaine en faisant pivoter l'applicateur le long de son axe comme dans les applicateurs connus, mais en lissant les fibres kératiniques, et en particulier les cils, sur toute leur longueur, de leur base vers leur extrémité, les poils tangentant les cils. Le geste est beaucoup plus simple qu'avec les applicateurs connus. Il est de plus possible d'incliner l'applicateur à volonté et de recourber ainsi les cils selon la courbure désirée.In particular, its use is facilitated compared to already known mascara applicators. Indeed, the handle is flat and can be easily taken between the thumb and the index finger. For an even easier grip of the applicator, the handle can also be substantially curved so as to follow the shape of the fingers, in particular the thumb. Thus, the application of the product is no longer done in an uncertain way by rotating the applicator along its axis as in known applicators, but by smoothing the keratin fibers, and in particular the eyelashes, over their entire length, by their base towards their end, the hairs tangling the eyelashes. The gesture is much simpler than with known applicators. It is also possible to tilt the applicator at will and thus curl the eyelashes according to the desired curvature.
La figure 2 annexée représente un applicateur 1 conforme à l'invention, comportant un manche 8 et des poils 6. Avec ce type d'applicateur, les poils 6 sont utilisés sur toute leur longueur. On obtient un chargement optimal des cils 2.Figure 2 attached shows an
De façon avantageuse, les poils ont une longueur efficace pour permettre aux cils de se charger selon l'axe des poils. Ils peuvent être de formes et de longueurs différentes, comporter des rainures capillaires ou des aspérités, ces diverses configurations assurant à la fois une meilleure charge du produit sur les cils et une meilleure séparation de ces derniers.Advantageously, the bristles have an effective length to allow the eyelashes to load along the axis of the bristles. They can be of different shapes and lengths, have capillary grooves or asperities, these various configurations ensuring both better loading of the product on the eyelashes and better separation of the latter.
De façon avantageuse, les poils sont conformés en touffes disposées en lignes parallèles ou en quinconce. L'ensemble des poils peut ainsi faire penser à des fanons de baleine.Advantageously, the bristles are shaped in tufts arranged in parallel lines or in staggered rows. The set of hairs can thus make one think of whalebone.
Les poils peuvent de plus être rigides ou semi-rigides, cette rigidité assurant un lissage des cils plus efficace et une très bonne recourbure de ces derniers.The bristles can also be rigid or semi-rigid, this rigidity ensuring a more effective smoothing of the eyelashes and a very good curl of the latter.
Les poils peuvent être en matériau élastiquement déformable, en métal, en verre, en bois. Le manche de l'applicateur peut être en matière plastique. On peut ainsi réaliser un applicateur ne comprenant que des matières organiques.The bristles can be of elastically deformable material, metal, glass, wood. The applicator handle may be made of plastic. It is thus possible to produce an applicator comprising only organic materials.
La longueur particulière des poils, ainsi que leurs formes différentes assurent une charge sur les cils adaptée aux désirs de l'utilisatrice : ainsi, on peut mélanger des poils fins, des poils épais, des poils courts, plus longs, floqués, des poils comportant des aspérités, des poils de rigidités différentes selon la charge voulue. Des poils épais et floqués chargeront davantage de mascara sur les cils. Des poils comportant des rainures capillaires ou des aspérités sépareront mieux les cils. Des poils plus rigides, ainsi qu'une inclinaison particulière du manche, assureront une recourbure des cils idéale. Enfin, les poils peuvent également comporter des agents glissants comme le bisulfure de molybdène, des agents bactéricides comme le produit «Microban» vendu par la société Microban Product Company, ou encore des agents absorbeurs d'humidité qui ramollissent les poils et changent leur tension superficielle.The particular length of the bristles, as well as their different shapes ensure a load on the eyelashes adapted to the user's wishes: thus, it is possible to mix fine hairs, thick hairs, short, longer, flocked hairs, hairs comprising roughness, bristles of different stiffness depending on the desired load. Thick, flocked hairs will load more mascara onto the lashes. Bristles with capillary grooves or asperities will better separate the eyelashes. More rigid bristles, as well as a particular inclination of the handle, will ensure an ideal curl of the eyelashes. Finally, the hairs may also include slip agents such as molybdenum disulphide, bactericidal agents such as the product “Microban” sold by the company Microban Product Company, or even moisture-absorbing agents which soften the hairs and change their surface tension. .
L'invention concerne également un ensemble de conditionnement comprenant l'applicateur défini ci-dessus et un réservoir de produit, liquide à pâteux, en particulier du mascara, muni d'un essoreur. De façon avantageuse, l'essoreur comporte une fenêtre dont la plus grande dimension est orientée selon la première direction définie ci-dessus.The invention also relates to a packaging assembly comprising the applicator defined above and a product reservoir, liquid to pasty, in particular mascara, provided with a wringer. Advantageously, the wringer has a window whose largest dimension is oriented in the first direction defined above.
L'ensemble ainsi défini assure un essorage des poils parallèlement à leur axe longitudinal et évite le désagréable bruit de succion lors du retrait de l'applicateur. De plus, la formule du produit n'est pas cassée et le phénomène de cisaillement n'a pas lieu. Ceci autorise donc l'emploi de formules de mascara qui sont généralement sensibles au cisaillement et ouvre la porte à de nouvelles formulations de mascara. La configuration des poils, avantageusement en touffes parallèles au plan du manche, et non en spirale comme dans les mascara connus, empêche également la projection du produit.The assembly thus defined ensures that the hairs are wrung out parallel to their longitudinal axis and avoids the unpleasant suction noise when the applicator is withdrawn. In addition, the product formula is not broken and the shearing phenomenon does not take place. This therefore authorizes the use of mascara formulas which are generally sensitive to shear and opens the door to new mascara formulations. The configuration of the bristles, advantageously in tufts parallel to the plane of the handle, and not in a spiral as in known mascara, also prevents the projection of the product.

Selon le mode de réalisation illustré sur la figure 3, l'applicateur référencé 1 dans son ensemble comporte essentiellement un manche 8 et des touffes 9 de poils 6. Le manche 8 comporte deux parties plates, une première partie 10 dans laquelle sont directement plantées les touffes 9 de poils 6, et une deuxième partie 11 inclinée par rapport à la première partie 10. Sur cette figure, les deux parties sont solidaires et réalisées en une seule pièce mais elles pourraient être articulées.According to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, the applicator referenced 1 as a whole essentially comprises a
On définit une première direction X, contenue dans le plan de la partie 10 du manche 8 et dirigée perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal A de ce manche, une deuxième direction Y, perpendiculaire au plan de la partie 10 du manche 8 et une troisième direction Z perpendiculaire à X et Y. Ainsi, les touffes 9 de poils 6 sont plantées dans la partie 10 parallèlement au plan de cette dernière et selon une direction sensiblement parallèle à Z.A first direction X is defined, contained in the plane of the
A titre indicatif, le manche a une longueur, mesurée selon Z, allant de 1 à 4 cm.As an indication, the handle has a length, measured along Z, ranging from 1 to 4 cm.
Les touffes de poils sont indifféremment plantées, collées, agraffées ou surinjectées dans la partie 10. Elles sont disposées en rangées 7, deux poils 6 différents étant au plus éloignés de 3 mm, mesurés à leur base 15 et selon la direction X, et d'au plus 2 mm, mesurés à leur extrémité libre 17 et toujours selon la direction X. Sur la figure 3, les touffes de poils sont disposées en deux rangées 7 parallèles et alignées en regard l'une de l'autre.The tufts of hair are indifferently planted, glued, stapled or over-injected in
La largeur de l'ensemble des touffes 9 de poils 6, mesurée à l'extrémité libre des poils selon la direction X, est au moins égale à un quart d'un arc de cils et en particulier supérieure à 0,75 cm, de préférence allant de 0,75 à 3 cm. L'épaisseur de l'ensemble des touffes 9 de poils 6, mesurée également à l'extrémité libre des poils et selon la direction Y, est au plus égale à l'épaisseur du manche, en particulier de la partie 10, mesurée également selon la direction Y. En pratique, cette épaisseur est choisie de 0,5 mm à 5 mm.The width of all the
La longueur des poils 6, mesurée selon la direction Z, est suffisante pour permettre aux cils de se charger le long de l'axe des poils. Cette longueur est de préférence supérieure à 5 mm et peut aller jusqu'à 60 mm. Elle est comprise, de préférence, entre 5 et 40 mm, et encore plus préférentiellement, entre 10 et 30 mm. Dans une forme préférée de réalisation de l'invention, les poils ont une longueur allant de 15 à 20 mm.The length of the
Les poils de l'applicateur selon l'invention ont généralement un diamètre allant de 0,04 à 0,7 mm, de préférence de 0,05 à 0,6 mm, et encore plus préférentiellement de 0,06 à 0,4 mm. Leur dureté peut aller de 10 shore A à 60 shore D.The hairs of the applicator according to the invention generally have a diameter ranging from 0.04 to 0.7 mm, preferably from 0.05 to 0.6 mm, and even more preferably from 0.06 to 0.4 mm. Their hardness can range from 10 shore A to 60 shore D.
Les poils peuvent présenter des natures, des formes, des longueurs identiques ou différentes.The bristles can have identical or different natures, shapes, lengths.
Ainsi, les poils 6 de l'applicateur 1 selon l'invention peuvent être naturels ou synthétiques. Ils peuvent être en fibres végétales ou naturelles, en métal, tel que l'acier, en verre, en bois, ou en matériaux élastiquement déformables tels que les élastomères vulcanisés, les matériaux thermoplastiques. En particulier, ils peuvent être en thermoplastique surinjecté dans le manche, comme représenté sur la figure 7. De préférence, les poils sont synthétiques.Thus, the
Ils peuvent avoir subi un flocage et comporter à leur extrémité des poils plus courts 23 comme représenté sur la figure 4g; leurs aspérités et leurs différences de longueurs peuvent être obtenues par meulage perpendiculaire ou tangent aux poils, par modelage à chaud. Les poils peuvent comporter des boules 24 obtenues par cardage, comme représenté sur la figure 4c. Ces boules peuvent être situées à des hauteurs de poil différentes. Les poils peuvent avoir été bombardés par des rayons gamma ou bêta pour changer leur état de surface. Ils peuvent avoir été meulés pour effilage. Leur extrémité libre peut avoir la forme d'un clou 25, comme représenté sur la figure 4d, ou d'une fourchette 26, comme représenté sur la figure 4e.They may have been flocked and have at their end shorter bristles 23 as shown in Figure 4g; their roughness and differences in length can be obtained by grinding perpendicular or tangent to the bristles, by hot modeling. The bristles may include
Les poils peuvent comporter une ou plusieurs rainures capillaires de sections différentes telles que les rainures 12 représentées sur la figure 4a; les touffes de poils peuvent être taillées selon une forme en biseau 27, ou selon une forme concave 28 ou convexe 29, comme représenté sur la figure 4b; ils peuvent comporter des aspérités 14, comme le poil représenté sur la figure 8; ils peuvent être courbés, ou comporter des ondulations sur toute leur longueur, comme le poil 30 représenté sur la figure 4f. L'applicateur peut également être muni d'un floc 13, c'est-à-dire d'une mousse capillaire ou imprégnable prise entre deux rangées 7 de poils 6, comme représenté sur la figure 5. Un tel floc assure une meilleure charge des poils en mascara. Cette figure 5 se distingue en outre de la figure 3 par le fait que le manche est réalisé d'une seule pièce plate dont le plan moyen est contenu dans le plan défini par les directions X et Z.The bristles may include one or more capillary grooves of different sections such as the
La figure 11 se distingue de la figure 3 par le fait que l'ensemble des poils forme une courbe, que le manche 8 est articulé autour d'une charnière 31 et qu'il comporte deux crans d'arrêt 32 pour bloquer le manche soit parallèlement aux poils, soit dans une position inclinée. La charnière peut être une charnière film.FIG. 11 differs from FIG. 3 by the fact that the set of bristles forms a curve, that the
Les caractéristiques représentées sur la figure 11 peuvent être adaptées aux applicateurs des figures 2 à 10.The characteristics shown in FIG. 11 can be adapted to the applicators of FIGS. 2 to 10.
Sur la figure 6 est représentée une forme de réalisation de l'applicateur selon l'invention dont le manche 8 est flexible. Le manche 8 comporte ici trois parties : une partie 10 semblable à celle de la figure 3, une partie centrale 19 dont l'épaisseur est inférieure à celle de la partie 10, et une troisième partie 20, située dans le prolongement des parties 10 et 19, et dont l'épaisseur est sensiblement égale à celle de la partie 10. Grâce à la partie 19, le manche 8 est flexible et l'applicateur peut ainsi être incliné par rapport aux cils selon les désirs de l'utilisatrice. Un tel manche flexible confère également plus de douceur au maquillage lorsque l'application du produit est faite à l'aide de poils rigides ou semi-rigides.FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of the applicator according to the invention, the
La figure 7 représente un applicateur dont les poils 6 ont des longueurs différentes et sont surinjectés dans le manche 8.FIG. 7 represents an applicator whose
Dans une forme préférée de réalisation de l'invention représentée sur la figure 9, les touffes 9 de poils 6 sont disposées en quinconce.In a preferred embodiment of the invention shown in Figure 9, the
La figure 10 représente un ensemble de conditionnement 16 pour mascara comportant l'applicateur 1 et un réservoir 18 de mascara 21. L'ensemble 16 est représenté fermé, l'applicateur 1 jouant le rôle de bouchon. Le réservoir 18 comporte un essoreur 22. En position fermée, les poils 6 plongent dans le mascara 21. Lorsqu'on retire l'applicateur 1, les poils 6 sont alors essorés par l'essoreur 22, par simple lissage des poils, sans aucune modification de leur orientation.FIG. 10 represents a
Cet ensemble est relativement compact et peut être facilement transporté.This set is relatively compact and can be easily transported.
Concrètement, un tel applicateur s'utilise de manière très simple, en association avec un réservoir de mascara tel que décrit ci-dessus ou même avec un mascara « pain » en frottant l'applicateur de l'invention sur le pain humecté.Concretely, such an applicator is used in a very simple manner, in combination with a reservoir of mascara as described above or even with a “bread” mascara by rubbing the applicator of the invention on the moistened bread.
Grâce à cet applicateur, le mascara est appliqué sur les cils d'une façon extrêmement simple, le geste pour lisser les cils se faisant de bas en haut, de la base dès cils vers leur extrémité, les poils de l'applicateur étant parallèles aux cils.Thanks to this applicator, the mascara is applied to the eyelashes in an extremely simple manner, the gesture for smoothing the eyelashes being done from bottom to top, from the base from the eyelashes towards their ends, the hairs of the applicator being parallel to the eyelashes.
Le geste est également beaucoup plus précis que celui de l'art antérieur (cf. Fig. 1a et 1b). En effet, le manche plat et la configuration particulière de cet applicateur permettent d'une part, de le tenir facilement durant l'utilisation, et d'autre part, de réaliser un maquillage mieux calculé, face aux cils, grâce à un geste plus ample et plus libre. Un tel applicateur permet à l'utilisatrice d'accompagner véritablement les poils le long des cils et de charger ces derniers de façon très précise.The gesture is also much more precise than that of the prior art (cf. Fig. 1a and 1b). Indeed, the flat handle and the particular configuration of this applicator allow on the one hand, to hold it easily during use, and on the other hand, to make a better calculated makeup, facing the eyelashes, thanks to a gesture more ample and freer. Such an applicator allows the user to truly accompany the hairs along the eyelashes and to load them very precisely.
Enfin, l'utilisatrice peut terminer son geste en inclinant l'applicateur de façon à amener les poils perpendiculairement aux cils. Elle peut ainsi parfaitement séparer et recourber ces derniers grâce à la pointe extrême des poils.Finally, the user can finish their gesture by tilting the applicator so as to bring the hairs perpendicular to the eyelashes. It can thus perfectly separate and curl them thanks to the extreme tip of the bristles.
Un tel applicateur est de réalisation très simple. Le manche peut par exemple être en plastique moulé, en bois ou en tout autre matériau habituellement utilisé dans la fabrication des applicateurs.Such an applicator is very simple to produce. The handle may for example be molded plastic, wood or any other material usually used in the manufacture of applicators.
L'applicateur selon l'invention présente l'avantage de ne pas comporter d'âme centrale métallique. Il peut donc être entièrement réalisé en matières organiques et être recyclable.The applicator according to the invention has the advantage of not having a central metallic core. It can therefore be entirely made of organic materials and be recyclable.
