Description

L'invention est relative à une brosse pour appliquer un produit cosmétique sur les fibres kératiniques, notamment pour appliquer du mascara sur les cils ou une teinture sur les cheveux, ainsi qu'à un dispositif de maquillage comportant cette brosse. Cette dernière comprend le plus souvent une âme allongée formée par l'enroulement en hélice de deux branches d'un fil métallique, des poils implantés radialement dans ladite âme et serrés entre lesdites branches enroulées, la brosse comprenant au moins une encoche concave, qui emmagasine du produit à l'essorage.The invention relates to a brush for applying a cosmetic product on keratin fibers, especially to apply mascara to the eyelashes or a dye on the hair, as well as a device makeup with this brush. This last usually includes an elongated core formed by the helical winding of two branches of a metal wire, bristles implanted radially in said core and clamped between said coiled branches, the brush comprising at least one concave notch, which stores product by spin.

Le document FR-A-2 605 505 montre une brosse de ce type qui permet de prendre correctement en charge le produit à appliquer, lequel produit se trouve dans un réservoir dont la sortie, traversée par la brosse, est munie d'un organe essoreur destiné à limiter la charge de produit prise par les poils. Selon ce document antérieur, les arêtes ou bords délimitant ladite encoche sont sensiblement rectilignes. Une brosse conforme à cet art antérieur permet de réaliser des maquillages relativement différents selon les zones de la brosse et des arêtes utilisées et selon le mouvement imparti à la brosse ; par exemple, l'utilisatrice peut obtenir un maquillage relativement chargé si elle ne fait pas tourner la brosse sur elle-même au moment de l'application mais alors les cils ne sont pas parfaitement séparés. Par ailleurs, elle peut obtenir un maquillage léger si elle fait tourner la brosse sur elle-même, mettant ainsi en jeu les arêtes bordant ladite encoche. Dans tous les modes d'utilisation, on observe une différence de maquillage entre les cils situés à la périphérie de la paupière et ceux du milieu de la paupière, qui sont mieux chargés mieux recourbés et/ou mieux séparés que les précédents.Document FR-A-2 605 505 shows a brush of this type which allows to take correctly in loads the product to be applied, which product is in a tank whose outlet, crossed by the brush, is provided with a wringer intended to limit the load of product taken up by the bristles. According to this document anterior, the edges or edges delimiting said notch are substantially straight. A brush in accordance with this prior art makes it possible to produce relatively different make-up depending on the areas of the brush and edges used and according to the movement imparted to the brush; for example, the user can obtain relatively heavy makeup if it doesn't turn the brush on itself at the time of application but then the eyelashes are not perfectly separated. In addition, she can get light makeup if it turns the brush on itself, thus putting in play the edges bordering said notch. In all the modes of use, there is a difference of makeup between the eyelashes located on the periphery of the eyelid and those in the middle of the eyelid, which are better loaded better curved and / or better separated than precedents.

Le document FR-2715038 décrit des brosses à encoche permettant d'une part, de mieux répartir le produit à l'endroit où on le souhaite et d'obtenir des variations d'essorage importantes sur la brosse et de conférer plus d'ergonomie au maquillage et, d'autre part de n'utiliser qu'un seul type d'essoreur et un seul diamètre de tige tout en ayant la possibilité de faire varier la charge sur les cils de manière importante, sans modifier fondamentalement l'élégance de la brosse. Ce résultat est obtenu, d'une part par la forme générale de la brosse qui est un double tronc de cônes coaxiaux, accolés par leur grande base de même diamètre, d'autre part par le fait que les arêtes ou bords limitant l'encoche sont non rectilignes. Le maquillage obtenu avec ce type de brosse se caractérise habituellement par une charge importante de la base des cils et un faible recourbement des cils.Document FR-2715038 describes brushes for notch allowing on the one hand, to better distribute the product wherever you want and get variations important spin on the brush and give makeup more ergonomics and, on the other hand to use only one type of wringer and one diameter rod while having the possibility of varying the load on the eyelashes significantly, without modifying basically the elegance of the brush. This result is obtained, on the one hand by the general form of the brush which is a double trunk of coaxial cones, joined by their large base of the same diameter, on the other hand by the fact that the edges or edges limiting the notch are not straight. The makeup obtained with this type of brush is usually characterized by a heavy load on the base of the eyelashes and a weak curling of the eyelashes.

Bien que ces brosses de l'art antérieur donnent des résultats globalement satisfaisants, il est apparu souhaitable de disposer de brosses permettant d'obtenir un maquillage très recourbant, parce que bien séparé en bout de cil et très chargé, ce que ne permettaient pas de faire les brosses de l'art antérieur. L'invention a pour but, également, de fournir une brosse qui reste d'une fabrication simple et économique, et d'une utilisation pratique.Although these prior art brushes give generally satisfactory results, it appeared desirable to have brushes to obtain a very curling makeup, because well separated in eyelash tip and very loaded, which did not allow to make the brushes of the prior art. The invention has for purpose, also, to provide a brush which remains of a simple and economical to manufacture convenient.

L'invention a pour objet une brosse telle que définie dans la revendication 1.The subject of the invention is a brush as defined in claim 1.

Ainsi l'utilisatrice dispose d'une brosse comportant des poils plus courts compris dans l'encoche, ces poils étant plus chargés en mascara. L'intersection de l'enveloppe cylindrique avec l'encoche définit une face de forme concave, qui épouse la forme de l'ensemble des cils d'une paupière, contrairement aux brosses de l'art antérieur. Ainsi lorsque l'utilisatrice applique la brosse sur les cils au niveau de l'encoche, elle charge la base des cils en mascara sur toute la largeur de la paupière, puis en faisant tourner la brosse autour de son axe central elle étale le mascara sur toute la longueur de chaque cil tout en les peignant et en séparant la totalité des cils sur toute leur longueur. Une telle brosse permet d'obtenir un maquillage à la fois chargé, régulier, allongeant et recourbant.So the user has a brush with shorter hairs included in the notch, these hairs being more loaded with mascara. The intersection of the envelope cylindrical with the notch defines a face of concave shape, which matches the shape of all eyelashes of an eyelid, unlike art brushes prior. So when the user applies the brush on the eyelashes at the level of the notch, it loads the base eyelashes in mascara over the entire width of the eyelid, then by rotating the brush around its central axis she spreads the mascara over the entire length of each while painting them and separating all of the eyelashes along their entire length. Such a brush allows obtain a makeup that is both charged, regular, lengthening and bending.

Cette brosse est tout à fait appropriée au maquillage des cils, aussi l'invention a également pour objet un dispositif de maquillage comprenant un réservoir à mascara et un applicateur de mascara caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une telle brosse.This brush is perfectly suitable for eyelash makeup, also the invention also has object a makeup device comprising a reservoir mascara and a characterized mascara applicator in that it includes such a brush.

De préférence, l'âme est formée par l'enroulement en hélice de deux branches d'un fil métallique et les poils sont serrés entre les branches enroulées de l'âme.Preferably, the core is formed by the winding in helix of two branches of a metallic wire and the hairs are clamped between the coiled branches of the core.

Préférentiellement, la ou les encoches sont formées par la tonte de la brosse.Preferably, the notch (s) are formed by mowing the brush.

L'axe du cylindre enveloppant les poils de plus grande dimension est défini comme l'axe central de la brosse.The cylinder axis enveloping the bristles more large dimension is defined as the central axis of the brush.

Avantageusement le contour de l'encoche comporte au moins un bord de forme sensiblement arrondie, qui est de préférence sensiblement parallèle à l'axe central de la brosse.Advantageously, the contour of the notch comprises at least one edge of substantially rounded shape, which is preferably substantially parallel to the axis center of the brush.

Le contour de l'encoche définit une arrête qui est le plus souvent aigüe, mais que l'on peut tailler pour lui donner une forme arrondie.The contour of the notch defines a stop which is the more often acute, but which can be cut for him give a rounded shape.

L'encoche comprend une plus grande profondeur (d) qui est choisie préférentiellement inférieure ou égale à sa plus grande largeur (L); et qui est située sensiblement au milieu de l'encoche, afin de mieux épouser la forme de la paupière.The notch includes a greater depth (d) which is preferably chosen to be less than or equal at its widest point (L); and which is located substantially in the middle of the notch, to better fit the shape of the eyelid.

Avantageusement, l'axe de plus grande longueur (de longueur λ) est sensiblement parallèle à l'axe de la brosse.Advantageously, the axis of greatest length (of length λ) is substantially parallel to the axis of the brush.

De préférence l'axe de plus grande largeur (L) de l'encoche est sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe de la brosse et (L) est inférieure ou égale à la plus grande longueur (λ) de l'encoche, afin de mieux épouser la forme de la paupière.Preferably the axis of greatest width (L) of the notch is substantially perpendicular to the axis of the brush and (L) is less than or equal to the largest length (λ) of the notch, in order to better fit the shape of the eyelid.

Préférentiellement, l'encoche présente une symétrie par rapport au plan passant par le maximum (L) et perpendiculaire à l'axe central.Preferably, the notch has a symmetry with respect to the plane passing through the maximum (L) and perpendicular to the central axis.

Les extrémités de la brosse sont de forme quelconque, elles peuvent par exemple être une section droite, perpendiculaire à l'axe central, une calotte sphérique ou un tronc de cône dont l'axe coïncide avec l'axe central de la brosse et dont la base est de même diamètre que la base du cylindre enveloppe.The ends of the brush are of any shape, they can for example be a cross section, perpendicular to the central axis, a spherical cap or a truncated cone whose axis coincides with the central axis of the brush and whose base is the same diameter as the base of the envelope cylinder.

La brosse peut comporter plusieurs encoches situées suivant des plans ou des surfaces différentes, deux encoches voisines déterminant entre elles, par leurs contours, au moins une zone de crête de largeur variable (la largeur d'une zone de crête est mesurée selon une direction perpendiculaire à l'axe central de la brosse).The brush can have several notches located on different planes or surfaces, two neighboring notches determining between them, by their contours, at least one width ridge area variable (the width of a peak area is measured in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the brush).

En outre, les poils des brosses selon l'invention peuvent être de toute espèce : à extrémités effilées, en forme de fourchette ou de tête d'épingle, ou avoir subi toute sorte de traitement connu de l'homme du métier.In addition, the bristles of the brushes according to the invention can be of any kind: with tapered ends, fork or pinhead shape, or have undergone any kind of treatment known to those skilled in the art.

D'autres modes particuliers de réalisation selon l'invention sont indiqués dans les revendications dependantesOther particular embodiments according to the invention are indicated in the dependent claims

L'invention consiste, mises à part les dispositions exposées ci-dessus, en un certain nombre d'autres dispositions dont il sera plus explicitement question ci-après à propos d'exemples de réalisation décrits avec référence aux dessins ci-annexés, mais qui ne sont nullement limitatifs.The invention consists, apart from the provisions set out above, in a number of other provisions which will be more explicitly discussed below about exemplary embodiments described with reference to the attached drawings, but which are in no way limiting.

Les figures 1 à 3 représentent une brosse selon l'invention en vue latérale. La figure 2 est une vue de la brosse de la figure 1 après rotation d'environ 90° autour de l'axe central I-I. La figure 3 est issue d'une seconde rotation d'environ 90° autour du même axe.Figures 1 to 3 show a brush according to the invention in side view. Figure 2 is a view of the brush of figure 1 after rotation of about 90 ° around from the central axis I-I. Figure 3 is from a second rotation of approximately 90 ° around the same axis.

La figure 4 représente une brosse selon l'invention en coupe transversale selon le plan IV-IV de la figure 1, perpendiculaire à l'axe I-I.FIG. 4 represents a brush according to the invention in cross section along plane IV-IV of FIG. 1, perpendicular to the I-I axis.

Les figures 5 à 7 représentent une brosse selon l'invention en cours d'utilisation pour l'application d'un mascara sur les cils d'une paupière.Figures 5 to 7 show a brush according to the invention in use for the application of a mascara on the eyelashes of an eyelid.

La figure 8 représente une brosse selon l'invention dont la densité de poils varie le long de l'âme.FIG. 8 represents a brush according to the invention whose density of hairs varies along the core.

La figure 9 représente un dispositif pour le maquillage des yeux en coupe longitudinale.Figure 9 shows a device for eye makeup in longitudinal section.

En se reportant aux figures 1 à 4, on peut voir une brosse 1 pour l'application d'un produit cosmétique, notamment pour l'application de mascara sur les cils, comprenant une âme 2 allongée formée par l'enroulement en hélice de deux branches d'un fil métallique 3 qui a été replié en U avant que les branches ne soient torsadées. L'âme 2 est fixée par emmanchement à force en bout d'une tige t. Des poils 4 sont implantés radialement entre les branches du fil 3. Lorsque les branches du fil 3 sont torsadées, les poils sont serrés et maintenus entre les spires en hélice de l'âme 2. L'âme 2 peut être centrale, c'est-à-dire, l'âme 2 définit un axe confondu avec l'axe central de la brosse I-I, comme sur les figures, mais elle pourrait également être excentrée. Les poils 4 peuvent être en fibres naturelles ou synthétiques et éventuellement floqués ; la brosse 1 peut comporter un mélange de poils de différents types (différents diamètres, formes, sections).Referring to Figures 1 to 4, we can see a brush 1 for applying a cosmetic product, especially for applying mascara to the eyelashes, comprising an elongated core 2 formed by the winding in helix of two branches of a metallic wire 3 which was folded into a U before the branches were Twisted. The core 2 is fixed by fitting to force at the end of a rod t. 4 hairs are implanted radially between the branches of the wire 3. When the branches of wire 3 are twisted, the hairs are tight and held between the helical turns of the core 2. The core 2 can be central, that is to say, the core 2 defines an axis confused with the central axis of the brush I-I, as on the figures, but it could also be offset. The bristles 4 can be made of natural or synthetic fibers and possibly flocked; brush 1 may include a mixture of hairs of different types (different diameters, shapes, sections).

La surface enveloppe de la brosse est un cylindre d'axe central I-I. La brosse 1 comporte une extrémité arrière 6 plane, perpendiculaire à l'axe I-I, et une extrémité avant 5 qui a la forme d'un tronc de cône d'axe I-I et dont la base, de même diamètre que le cylindre enveloppant la brosse, est accolée à la section plane 10 du cylindre, perpendiculaire à l'axe I-I.The envelope surface of the brush is a cylinder with central axis I-I. Brush 1 has one end rear 6 flat, perpendicular to the axis I-I, and one end before 5 which has the shape of a truncated cone of axis I-I and whose base, of the same diameter as the enveloping cylinder the brush is attached to the flat section 10 of the cylinder, perpendicular to the axis I-I.

La brosse comporte à sa périphérie trois encoches 7, concaves, délimitées par des contours ovales 8, de profondeur d, de longueur λ et de plus grande largeur L avec λ>L>d. Les contours 8 des encoches comprennent deux bords 8a et 8b arrondis et sensiblement parallèles à l'axe I-I. Les contours des encoches définissent des surfaces de crête 9 appartenant au cylindre enveloppe de la brosse.The brush has at its periphery three notches 7, concave, delimited by oval contours 8, of depth d, length λ and greater width L with λ> L> d. Contours 8 of the notches include two edges 8a and 8b rounded and substantially parallel to the I-I axis. The contours of the notches define peak surfaces 9 belonging to the cylinder brush cover.

Dans l'exemple représenté le contour de l'encoche est ovale, mais il pourrait également être elliptique, ou être constitué de deux portions de cercles sécants dont les concavités sont en regard.In the example shown the outline of the notch is oval, but it could also be elliptical, or consist of two portions of intersecting circles whose concavities are opposite.

Les contours 8 des encoches 7 définissent avec les surfaces de crêtes 9 des arêtes aigues 11.The contours 8 of the notches 7 define with the ridges 9 of sharp edges 11.

Les encoches 7 sont obtenues en tondant la brosse 1, c'est-à-dire en coupant les poils 4 de cette brosse avec une tondeuse. Chacune des encoches 7 est située d'un même côté de la brosse, elles ne sont donc pas coupées par l'âme 2.The notches 7 are obtained by mowing the brush 1, i.e. by cutting the bristles 4 of this brush with a mower. Each of the notches 7 is located on the same side of the brush, so they are not cut by the core 2.

Sur les figures, les contours 8 des encoches 7 n'atteignent pas les plans d'extrémité 6, 10 du cylindre mais dans une variante on pourrait prévoir que les encoches soient tangentes ou sécantes de ces plans d'extrémité.In the figures, the contours 8 of the notches 7 do not reach the end planes 6, 10 of the cylinder but in a variant it could be foreseen that the notches are tangent or secant of these planes end.

Dans les figures 5 à 7 qui illustrent le procédé d'utilisation des brosses selon l'invention, les éléments identiques ou jouant des rôles analogues à des éléments décrits précédemment, seront désignés par les mêmes références numériques. Leur description ne sera pas reprise ou ne sera effectuée que succinctement. Pour simplifier, on a représenté sur ces figures des brosses comportant une seule encoche, mais le fonctionnement serait le même si la brosse comprenait plusieurs encoches.In Figures 5 to 7 which illustrate the method of use brushes according to the invention, identical elements or playing roles analogous to elements described above, will be designated by the same digital references. Their description will not be resumption or will be carried out only succinctly. For simplify, these figures show brushes with only one notch, but the operation would be the same if the brush included several notches.

Sur la figure 5 on voit l'ensemble des cils de la paupière C pris en charge par les poils les plus courts de la brosse, situés au creux de l'encoche 7 concave, fortement chargés en mascara. A leur contact, la base des cils C se charge elle-même fortement en mascara. Lorsque l'utilisatrice fait toumer la brosse 1 sur elle-même (figure 6), la forme de l'encoche fait que les cils continuent à être en contact avec la brosse sur toute leur longueur et continuent à se charger tout en se courbant. Les poils plus longs de l'arrête 11 commencent à peigner le cil. Lorsque l'utilisatrice continue de faire tourner la brosse sur elle-même (figure 7), les cils sont pris en charge par les poils les plus longs de la zone de crête 9, dont l'enveloppe est cylindrique et qui répartissent le produit sur toute la longueur de chaque cil tout en le peignant.In Figure 5 we see all the eyelashes of the eyelid C supported by the shortest hairs of the brush, located in the hollow of the concave notch 7, strongly loaded with mascara. On contact with them, the base of eyelashes C loads itself strongly with mascara. When the user brushes brush 1 on itself (figure 6), the shape of the notch means that the eyelashes continue to be in contact with the brush throughout their length and continue to load while bending. The longer hairs of edge 11 begin to comb the eyelash. When the user continues to do turn the brush on itself (figure 7), the eyelashes are supported by the longest hairs in the area ridge 9, whose envelope is cylindrical and which distribute the product along the entire length of each lash all by painting it.

Si la brosse comprend plusieurs encoches, ces opérations de chargement et d'étalement-peignage sont répétées plusieurs fois au cours d'une rotation complète de la brosse.If the brush has more than one notch, these loading and spreading-combing operations are repeated several times during a rotation brush complete.

Chaque cil est chargé sur toute sa longueur, il n'y a pas de différence de maquillage entre les cils d'extrémité de la paupière et ceux du milieu, les cils sont parfaitement séparés les uns des autres, allongés et recourbés.Each eyelash is loaded over its entire length, there is no difference in make-up between the end lashes eyelid and those in the middle, the eyelashes are perfectly separated from each other, lying down and curled.

Sur la figure 8 on voit une brosse à mascara qui se différencie de celle représentée aux figures 1 à 4 par la 20 variation de densité de poils: les encoches 107 sont situées dans des zones de faible densité de poils, ce qui leur permet individuellement de charger encore plus de mascara, et les zones d'extrémité 112 et 113 de la brosse ainsi que les zones de crêtes 109, ont une densité de poils plus élevée, ce qui permet de renforcer l'efficacité du peignage et de la séparation des cils.In figure 8 we see a mascara brush which is different from that shown in Figures 1 to 4 by the 20 variation in hair density: the notches 107 are located in areas of low hair density, which allows them individually to charge even more mascara, and the end zones 112 and 113 of the brush as well as the ridges 109, have a density higher hairs, which helps strengthen the effectiveness of combing and separating the eyelashes.

Pour obtenir un maquillage encore plus chargé, on peut selon une autre variante prévoir que les zones de crête comportent une alternance de rangées de poils courts et de poils longs.To get an even more charged makeup, we can according to another variant provide that the areas of crest have alternating rows of hairs short and long haired.

Le dispositif pour le maquillage des yeux représenté sur la figure 9 comprend un réservoir cylindrique 220, qui comporte un goulot 224 fileté surmonté d'un joint d'étanchéité 226 et qui est rempli d'un mascara 215. Le réservoir 220 comporte dans son goulot un essoreur 221, le maintien en position de l'essoreur dans le goulot étant assuré grâce à un bourrelet 226 qui coopère avec l'épaulement séparant le goulot du réservoir 220 proprement dit. L'essoreur 221 est constitué, de façon connue, en une matière souple et élastique. Un applicateur est destiné à coopérer avec le réservoir 220. Cet applicateur est constitué d'un moyen de préhension 223 qui supporte l'organe d'application 230, comprenant une tige 222 et une brosse 201, identiques à celles représentées sur les figures 1 à 4. Le moyen de préhension 223 a la forme d'un capuchon et comporte un filetage 223a qui coopère avec le filetage 224a du goulot du réservoir. L'obturation étanche du réservoir 220 est obtenue en vissant le moyen de préhension 223 sur le goulot 224 du réservoir muni de son joint 226.The device for making up the eyes shown in Figure 9 includes a cylindrical tank 220, which has a threaded neck 224 surmounted by a seal 226 and which is filled with mascara 215. The reservoir 220 has in its neck a wringer 221, holding the wringer in position in the neck being secured by a bead 226 which cooperates with the shoulder separating the neck from the tank 220 proper. The wringer 221 is made up of in known manner, in a flexible and elastic material. A applicator is intended to cooperate with the reservoir 220. This applicator consists of a gripping means 223 which supports the application member 230, comprising a rod 222 and a brush 201, identical to those shown in Figures 1 to 4. The means of grip 223 has the shape of a cap and has a thread 223a which cooperates with the thread 224a of the tank neck. Watertight sealing of the tank 220 is obtained by screwing the gripping means 223 on the neck 224 of the tank provided with its seal 226.

Lorsque l'on extrait l'organe d'application 230 du réservoir, la brosse chargée de mascara passe à travers l'essoreur 221. Celui-ci essore les poils longs des zones de crêtes de façon beaucoup plus importante que les poils courts de l'encoche. L'organe d'application peut ensuite être utilisé conformément à l'invention.When the applicator member 230 is removed from the reservoir, the brush loaded with mascara passes through wringer 221. This wrings the long hairs of much larger ridges than the short hairs of the notch. The enforcement body can then be used according to the invention.
