Definitions
- the present invention relates to an applicator for hair product, in particular in the form of foam, gel or cream.
- the invention is everything particularly suitable for the application of coloring products.
- a major current trend in the hair sector is to create in the hair, more or less visible, and more or less subtle color effects whose purpose is either to make up the hair with bright colors, such whether yellow, green, blue or red, is to give the hair a particularity that is as natural as possible.
- This defect consists of the appearance of colored “bars”, located towards the hairline, which come from the even trains applicators.
- This bar is the result of the starting point of the application, when it is carried out with an applicator with "attack zones” substantially straight or with a large radius of curvature.
- the area of attack means the starting area of the application.
- FIGS. 1A and 1B representing the application of a hair coloring product on the hair using a brush elongated shape (shaped like a rugby ball).
- the major axis of the brush is substantially perpendicular to the axis of the handle.
- the major axis of the brush is parallel to the axis of the handle.
- experience shows that the user always uses one of the large faces 1 of the brush as an attack zone. In both cases, it causes the brush up and down, pulling the brush perpendicularly to its major axis. Due to the large radius of curvature of this face, the application generates the appearance of a "bar" 2 (in the form of a straight line, or a curve with large radius of curvature) whose effect is not at all natural, and therefore perceived very negatively.
- a "bar" 2 in the form of a straight line, or a curve with large radius of curvature
- a product applicator capillary in particular in the form of foam, paste, gel or cream, comprising a handle, one end of which is integral with a brush consisting of a set of teeth or bristles implanted on a support, the section of the brush parallel to a plane of the support having at least three corners or outgrowths, two of which are oriented opposite each other, substantially perpendicular to an axis of the handle, the third being oriented opposite the handle, substantially parallel to said axis, said section having no edge substantially parallel to the axis of the handle.
- the area always consists of an angular area or a small radius of curvature, which avoids the "bar" phenomenon discussed above.
- it can be used in the same way by a left-handed or a right-handed person.
- Such a configuration also makes it possible to maintain an application surface. large enough to allow application under conditions of acceptable speed and efficiency.
- the two corners or protrusions oriented opposite one of the other are aligned substantially along the same axis perpendicular to the axis of the handle, the third being arranged substantially on the axis of the handle.
- a perfectly symmetrical brush is thus produced, which has the same application characteristics when used by a left or right handed.
- the applicator comprises a fourth corner or protrusion, located opposite the third, substantially in the axis of the handle, said section not having an edge substantially perpendicular to the axis of the handle. This further increases the surface effective application, the application being always free of "bars" such that mentioned above.
- said corners or protrusions are separated by concave curve portions.
- the support can itself consist of a concave surface.
- the surface defined by the free ends of the bristles or teeth is concave, the concavity of said surface being oriented opposite the concavity of the support.
- the corners or protuberances are of shape rounded and have a radius of curvature between 1 mm and 15 mm, and preferably between 2 mm and 10 mm. More generally, the radius of curvature of the rounding formed by the corners is at least equal to the radius of the circle circumscribed by a tooth or by a tuft of hairs. As for the upper limit, in the case of a brush whose section is circumscribed by a circle, it is strictly less than the radius of said circle. This characteristic is necessary when you want an applicator with sufficient surface, of the type to growths connected by concave edges, which corresponds to a preferred configuration of the applicator according to the invention.
- Such an applicator can be obtained by molding a thermoplastic material, in particular polypropylene or polyethylene. Being able to use these industrial molding techniques, allows the realization of an applicator very low cost.
- the packaging device consists of a device mixer, bowl, or pressurized container.
- the applicator 10 illustrated in FIGS. 2A-2C comprises a handle 11, one of which end is integral with a brush 12 consisting of a support 30, on which a plurality of teeth 13 are implanted, perpendicular to the support 30. Instead of the teeth, hairs arranged in particular could be used in the form of tufts.
- the profile of the applicator handle is chosen from so as to allow the best ergonomics, in order to optimize the application. As it appears in Figures 2A and 2C as well as in Figure 5, the handle is integral with the brush 12 at a junction zone 31 located on the face of the support 30 opposite to that carrying the teeth.
- Applicator 10 is obtained from molding of a thermoplastic material, such as polyethylene or polypropylene.
- the support 30 substantially forms a rhombus comprising 4 corners 14, 15, 16, 17. Two of the corners, 14, 16 are oriented opposite each other, and aligned along an axis perpendicular to the axis X of the handle 11. The other two corners 15, 17 are also oriented opposite one another and arranged on the X axis of the handle.
- the corners 14-17 are rounded.
- the radius of curvature formed by the corners 14-17 is of the order of 5 mm.
- the edges of the support 18, 19, 20, 21 connecting the corners in pairs, are slightly concave in shape, so as to give the application even more naturalness, by creating an area of attack without any straight portion.
- the use of the brush of Figures 2A-2C is illustrated in Figures 3A and 3B.
- the product is a coloring product in the form of a cream or a paste, prepared in a bowl or in an automatic mixing device.
- the product is deposited on the face of the support 30 carrying the teeth 13.
- the user deposits the product on the hair, from the root to the ends, by a movement from top to bottom (arrow F), holding the handle substantially horizontally.
- the attack zone consists of the corner 16, and the two edges 19, 20 adjoining this corner. Due to the shape of this applicator, the attack zone is gradually varying in width, before to reach the maximum application width delimited by the two corners 15 and 17.
- the user deposits the product on the hair, from the root towards the ends, by a movement from top to bottom (arrow F), holding the handle substantially vertical.
- the attack zone consists of corner 15, and the two edges 18, 19 adjoining this corner.
- the result is identical to that obtained with the mode of application of FIG. 3A.
- the result would be similar by applying the product by a back and forth movement on the hair, the corners 14 or 16 forming then the attack areas of the application. It should be noted that due to the shape symmetrical of the applicator, the application characteristics are identical, whether the brush is used by a left-handed or a right-handed person.
- the support 30 substantially forms a three leaf clover.
- the support 12 has three protuberances or projections 14, 15, 16, two of which 14, 16 are aligned in a axis perpendicular to the X axis of the handle 11.
- the third 15 is located on the X axis, opposite the handle 11.
- the protuberances 14, 15, 16 are connected by strongly concave edges 18, 19.
- the application surface is slightly less than that of the applicator of FIGS. 2A-2C.
- FIG. 5 represents an application kit consisting of an applicator 10 of the type of that described with reference to FIGS. 2A-2C, in combination with a packaging device, in the form of a pressurized container 40, intended to deliver a foam to be applied to the hair, by means of the applicator 10.
- the packaging device may consist of a bowl, in which the preparation of the composition would be carried out manually to be applied (typically by mixing a dye and an oxidant) or a mixing device capable of automatically mixing the constituents entering into the coloring composition.
- Such devices mixers have been the subject of numerous descriptions in the patent literature and therefore do not require further description.
