Definitions

• the invention relates to improvements to distributors of cosmetic products, fluid or pasty, intended for make-up, especially at mascara distributors, the kind of those which include a distributor body with a housing for an applicator member, and a gripping element comprising a capsule provided with a rod carrying the applicator member at one end protruding from the capsule, which can be assembled from removable way to the distributor body and can be grasped by a user to apply the product, a reservoir of cosmetic product being further provided as well as means for supplying product to dispense the product from the tank.
• a cosmetic product distributor of this kind is known in particular from FR-B-2 685 858.
• FIG. 2a and 2b shows a dispenser in which the body and the gripping element form a whole.
• Housing for the organ applicator provided at one end of the grip assembly is closed by a lid.
• the supply of organ product applicator takes place on a complicated path from a housed tank in the body / gripping element assembly.
• the object of the invention is, above all, to provide a distributor cosmetic product of the kind defined above which allows a supply of the applicator organ with product as direct as possible while keeping the product away from air to avoid its pollution. It is desirable that the distributor is of a manufacturing simple and economical, and reliable to use. The element of gripping should be easy to handle.
• a cosmetic product distributor of genre defined above is characterized by the fact that the reservoir of product and its associated supply means are located in the capsule and that the rod carrying the applicator member comprises a conduit internal which extends from the base of the rod, where it communicates with the output of supply means to the applicator member.
• the means for supplying product may include a pump, in particular a pump without air inlet (pump "airless”).
• the internal duct preferably coaxial with the rod, opens at the level of the applicator member by holes oriented radially and regularly distributed along the periphery. For example four holes angularly offset by 90 ° are provided for this purpose.
• the cosmetic product outlet holes are provided towards the end of the applicator member which first passes through a wringer when separating the gripping element from the body, so that when the rod exits through the wringer, the latter ensures the distribution of the product over the entire applicator member.
• the holes of outlet are provided at the head of the applicator member, that is to say towards the end of this applicator member located on the side of the base of the rod.
• the applicator member is constituted by a cylinder, for example made of plastic, externally fluted.
• the invention also relates to a gripping element, dispenser of cosmetic product, comprising a capsule provided a rod carrying an applicator member at a projecting end outside the capsule, which can be dismantled to a dispenser body and can be entered by a user to applying the product, a reservoir of cosmetic product also being provided as well as means for supplying product to send successive doses of product on the applicator member from tank, characterized in that the product tank is located in the capsule and that the rod carrying the applicator member comprises a internal duct which extends from the base of the rod, where it communicates with the outlet of the product supply means also arranged in the capsule, up to the applicator member.
• the invention consists, apart from the provisions set out above, in a number of other provisions which will be more explicit question below about an example particular described with reference to the accompanying drawing, but which is not in no way limitative.
• a distributor D of fluid or pasty cosmetic product intended for make-up, in particular mascara includes a body of dispenser C schematically shown and a gripping element E comprising a capsule 1 provided with a rod 2 carrying a member applicator 3 at one end projecting from the capsule 1.
• the applicator member 3 is constituted by a plastic cylinder fluted externally. It is to highlight that the expression "applicator organ” must be understood in a very broad sense general as encompassing not only the organ described but all applicator member of different structure, for example a block in sponge or foam, or an external flocking element.
• the rod 2 has an internal conduit 4, coaxial, extending from a base 5 of the rod to the applicator member 3.
• the channel 4 opens, at this applicator member, by holes 6 oriented radially and angularly distributed over the entire periphery of the applicator member. According to the example in the drawing, four holes 6 spaced angularly from each other by 90 ° are provided; their number can of course be different.
• the diameter of the holes 6 is adapted to the viscosity of the product.
• the holes 6 are placed at the head of the applicator member 3, that is to say towards the end of this member located on the side of the rod 2 and of the base 5 so that during a wring produced by removing the rod 2 by a pulling movement, the product delivered by the holes 6 is distributed over the entire length of the applicator member 3.
• the base 5 is fixed to the end of an envelope cylindrical 7 of the capsule.
• a reservoir 8 of cosmetic product is arranged in the envelope 7.
• Supply means P for product, suitable for supplying successive doses, are placed in the tank and include a pump 9, the outlet of which is connected to the conduit 4.
• This pump 9 can be of type without air intake (“airless”) or a different type.
• the user before makeup, controls the ejection a dose of product which flows through line 4 and passes through the holes 6 to reach the applicator member 3.
• the makeup is then carried out with the element of grip E, held by the capsule 1 in which the reservoir is located 8 of product.
• Feeding the applicator member 3 in doses of product is therefore provided by the inside of the rod 2 through the holes 6, which allows the exit of a dose which has been bacteriologically protected until it is ejected onto the applicator member 3. This can avoid putting preservatives in the compositions of product or reduce its proportion.
• the rod 2 and the applicator member 3 are not stressed by the effort required to eject a dose. Furthermore, the element of grip E remains easy to handle, since the body C in which is the housing of the applicator member is separated from element E during makeup.
