Abstract

This device comprises a reservoir and a dispensing head, equipped with at least one row of application teeth, this head being connected to the reservoir by at least one channel for conveying the product to the base of the teeth. According to the invention, the head comprises at least one row of retention teeth extending along each row of application teeth and located at a distance from the latter, these teeth being shorter than the teeth; the space between one row of application teeth and an adjacent row of retention teeth, and the spaces between the teeth in these two rows, are such that they permit the product to be retained in them so that said space located between one row of application teeth and an adjacent row of retention teeth forms an intermediate product reservoir capable of receiving and temporarily retaining this product.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant l'application d'un produit plus ou moins visqueux sur des cheveux, notamment un produit colorant.The present invention relates to a device allowing the application of a more or less viscous product to hair, in particular a coloring product.

Actuellement, les produits colorants pour cheveux sont appliqués sur une chevelure à l'aide de pinceaux. Cette manière classique de procéder a pour inconvénient de mettre le produit colorant en contact avec le cuir chevelu, ce qui peut provoquer certaines réactions cutanées, en particulier allergiques.Currently, hair coloring products are applied to hair using brushes. This classic way the disadvantage of putting the coloring product in contact with the scalp, which can cause certain skin reactions, especially allergic.

En outre, la réalisation d'effets spéciaux de coloration, par exemple sur des mèches, est difficile à réaliser par la technique actuelle à défaut de dispositifs d'application appropriés.In addition, the realization of special coloring effects, by example on wicks, is difficult to achieve by the current technique to lack of appropriate application devices.

Il existe un dispositif permettant l'application d'un produit sur des cheveux, comprenant un réservoir de produit et une tête d'application munie de dents. Le réservoir présente des parois souples et la tête comprend des conduits débouchant dans ce réservoir d'une part et entre les dents d'autre part. Les dents peuvent ainsi être alimentées en produit lorsqu'une pression est exercée sur le réservoir et permettent de répartir ce produit sur les cheveux lors du passage de ces derniers entre elles.There is a device allowing the application of a product on hair, comprising a product reservoir and an application head fitted with teeth. The tank has flexible walls and the head includes conduits opening into this tank on the one hand and between teeth on the other hand. The teeth can thus be supplied with product when pressure is exerted on the tank and allow to distribute this product on the hair when it passes between them.

Les dispositifs de ce type ne donnent toutefois pas satisfaction en pratique. Il est en effet difficile d'exercer une pression sensiblement constante sur le réservoir afin de contrôler l'émission de la quantité appropriée de produit au fur et à mesure de son application sur les cheveux. L'émission irrégulière du produit entraíne des coulures intempestives et donc une mise en contact de ce produit avec le cuir chevelu. Ces coulures entraínent également une répartition aléatoire du produit sur les cheveux, ne permettant pas l'obtention des effets de coloration précités, notamment sur des mèches.Devices of this type, however, are not satisfactory in practice. It is indeed difficult to exert a pressure substantially constant on the tank in order to control the emission of the quantity appropriate product as it is applied to the hair. The irregular emission of the product leads to drips untimely and therefore bringing this product into contact with the leather Scalp. These drips also cause a random distribution of the product on the hair, not allowing the effects of aforementioned coloring, in particular on locks.

La présente invention vise à remédier à l'ensemble de ces inconvénients.The present invention aims to remedy all of these disadvantages.

Un dispositif comportant les caractéristiques du préambule de la revendication 1 est connu per US-A-2 672 875.A device comprising the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known to US-A-2,672,875.

Le dispositif qu'elle concerne comprend, de manière connue en soi, un réservoir contenant le produit à appliquer et une tête de distribution de ce produit, munie d'au moins une rangée de dents d'application, cette tête étant reliée au réservoir par au moins un conduit débouchant dans le réservoir d'une part et à proximité de la base des dents d'autre part pour permettre l'écoulement du produit depuis ce réservoir vers cette base des dents. The device which it relates comprises, in a manner known in itself, a reservoir containing the product to be applied and a dispensing head of this product, provided with at least one row of application teeth, this head being connected to the reservoir by at least one conduit opening into the reservoir on the one hand and close to the base of the teeth on the other hand for allow the product to flow from this reservoir to this base of teeth.

Selon l'invention, la tête comprend au moins une rangée de dents, dites ci-après "dents de rétention", s'étendant le long de chaque rangée de dents d'application et située à distance de celle-ci, ces dents de rétention ayant une plus faible hauteur que les dents d'application ; l'espace entre une rangée de dents d'application et une rangée de dents de rétention adjacente, ainsi que les espaces entre les dents de ces deux rangées, sont tels qu'il permettent le passage des cheveux entre les dents de ces rangées mais qu'ils permettent de retenir le produit en eux, de sorte que ledit espace situé entre une rangée de dents d'application et une rangée de dents de rétention adjacente constitue un réservoir intermédiaire de produit, apte à recevoir et à retenir temporairement ce produit.According to the invention, the head comprises at least one row of teeth, hereinafter called "retention teeth", extending along each row of application teeth and located at a distance therefrom, these retention having a lower height than the application teeth; the space between a row of application teeth and a row of teeth of adjacent retention, as well as the spaces between the teeth of these two rows, are such that they allow the passage of hair between the teeth of these rows but that they allow the product to be retained in them, so that said space between a row of application teeth and a adjacent row of retention teeth forms an intermediate reservoir product, able to receive and temporarily retain this product.

Ce réservoir, au niveau duquel débouchent le ou les conduits d'acheminement du produit, est situé à la base des dents d'application et permet le passage des cheveux à travers lui afin que ces derniers puissent se charger de produit. Ce réservoir intermédiaire peut être alimenté périodiquement en produit selon les besoins, de sorte qu'il permet une régulation et un contrôle de l'émission de produit, et donc l'application régulière de celui-ci sur les cheveux.This reservoir, at which the duct (s) open product routing, is located at the base of the application teeth and allows hair to pass through it so that it can take care of product. This intermediate tank can be supplied periodically in product as needed, so that it allows a regulation and control of the product emission, and therefore the application regular of it on the hair.

Ainsi, grâce à l'invention, le produit n'est à aucun moment mis en contact avec le cuir chevelu, et ne risque pas de l'être.Thus, thanks to the invention, the product is at no time put in contact with the scalp, and is not likely to be.

Le ou lesdits conduits d'acheminement du produit peuvent déboucher entre les dents de l'une ou de l'autre des rangées mais, de préférence, débouchent entre deux rangées adjacentes de dents d'application et de rétention.The one or more product delivery conduits may lead between the teeth of one or the other of the rows but, from preferably open between two adjacent rows of teeth of application and retention.

Le dispositif selon l'invention peut être à usage unique et présenter des dents d'application ayant une forme adaptée à la viscosité du produit qu'il est spécifiquement destiné à appliquer. Ainsi, dans le cas d'un produit présentant une viscosité relativement élevée, c'est-à-dire ayant une consistance de crème, chaque dent d'application présente une base de forme cylindrique s'étendant sensiblement jusqu'au sommet des dents de rétention tandis que chacune de ces dernières présente une forme sensiblement conique. Dans le cas d'un produit présentant une viscosité moyenne ou faible, c'est-à-dire ayant respectivement une consistance de gel ou d'huile, chaque dent d'application présente une section de forme ovale s'étendant sensiblement jusqu'au sommet des dents de rétention tandis que chacune de ces dernières présente une forme sensiblement conique.The device according to the invention can be for single use and have application teeth having a shape adapted to the viscosity of the product that it is specifically intended to apply. So in the case of a product having a relatively high viscosity, that is to say having a consistency of cream, each application tooth has a cylindrical base extending substantially to the top of the retention teeth while each of these has a substantially conical shape. In the case of a product with a medium or low viscosity, i.e. having respectively a consistency of gel or oil, each application tooth has a oval section extending substantially to the top of the retention teeth while each of these has a substantially conical shape.

Ces agencements s'avèrent permettre d'assurer la parfaite imprégnation des cheveux en produit, selon la viscosité de ce dernier, sans que les dents de rétention ne fassent obstacle au passage des cheveux sur elles.These arrangements are found to ensure perfect impregnation of the hair with product, according to the viscosity of the latter, without the retention teeth do not obstruct the passage of hair on they.

A leur partie supérieure, les dents d'application peuvent présenter une forme conique ou une forme en obus.At their upper part, the application teeth can have a conical shape or a shell shape.

Selon une forme de réalisation préférée de l'invention, la tête comprend deux rangées latérales de dents d'application et une rangée centrale de dents de rétention, ainsi qu'une pluralité de conduits d'acheminement du produit, débouchant entre deux rangées adjacentes.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the head includes two lateral rows of application teeth and one row retention tooth center, as well as a plurality of conduits conveying the product, emerging between two adjacent rows.

Pour sa bonne compréhension, l'invention est à nouveau décrite ci-dessous en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme de réalisation préférée du dispositif qu'elle concerne.

  • La figure 1 est une vue en perspective de la tête de distribution qu'il comprend ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue de côté du dispositif ;
  • la figure 3 en est une vue de profil, et
  • la figure 4 en est une vue de dessus.
    • For a good understanding, the invention is again described below with reference to the appended diagrammatic drawing representing, by way of nonlimiting example, a preferred embodiment of the device which it relates to.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of the dispensing head it comprises;
  • Figure 2 is a side view of the device;
  • FIG. 3 is a side view thereof, and
  • Figure 4 is a top view.

    • Les figures 2 à 4 représentent, sous différents angles, un dispositif 1 permettant l'application d'un produit plus ou moins visqueux sur des cheveux, notamment d'un produit colorant.Figures 2 to 4 show, from different angles, a device 1 allowing the application of a more or less viscous product on hair, in particular with a coloring product.

    Le dispositif 1 comprend un réservoir 2 pour contenir le produit et une tête d'application 3 de ce produit sur les cheveux.The device 1 comprises a reservoir 2 for containing the product and a head 3 for applying this product to the hair.

    Dans l'exemple représenté, le réservoir 2 présente des parois latérales souples pour permettre l'expulsion du produit par pression sur ces parois. Ce réservoir 2 et la tête 3 peuvent être réalisés en matière synthétique, et le montage de cette tête 3 sur le réservoir 2 peut être réalisé par vissage ou encliquetage de la tête sur un goulot aménagé dans la partie supérieure du réservoir 2.In the example shown, the tank 2 has walls flexible side to allow the expulsion of the product by pressure on these walls. This reservoir 2 and the head 3 can be made of material synthetic, and the mounting of this head 3 on the tank 2 can be made by screwing or snapping the head onto a neck fitted in the upper part of the tank 2.

    Comme le montrent plus particulièrement les figures 1, 3 et 4, la tête 3 comprend trois rangées de dents 5, 6 et des conduits 7 d'acheminement du produit du réservoir vers la base de ces dents 5, 6. As shown more particularly in Figures 1, 3 and 4, the head 3 comprises three rows of teeth 5, 6 and conduits 7 conveying the product from the reservoir to the base of these teeth 5, 6.

    Les deux rangées latérales de dents 5 servent à l'application du produit sur les cheveux. Chaque dent 5 de ces rangées présente une base 5a de forme cylindrique, s'étendant jusqu'à la hauteur des dents 6 de la rangée centrale, et une partie supérieure 5b pouvant présenter soit une forme en obus telle que montrée à la figure 1, soit une forme conique et effilée telle que montrée aux figures 2 à 4.The two lateral rows of teeth 5 are used for applying the product on the hair. Each tooth 5 of these rows has a base 5a of cylindrical shape, extending to the height of the teeth 6 of the central row, and an upper part 5b which may have either a shell shape as shown in Figure 1, a conical shape and tapered as shown in Figures 2 to 4.

    La rangée centrale de dents 6 s'étend le long de chaque rangée de dents 5, en étant située à distance de celle-ci, et sert à la rétention du produit dans l'espace 8 délimité par les rangées de dents 5 et 6.The central row of teeth 6 extends along each row teeth 5, being located at a distance therefrom, and serves for the retention of the produced in the space 8 delimited by the rows of teeth 5 and 6.

    Les dents 6 ont une plus faible hauteur que les dents 5 et présentent une forme sensiblement conique.Teeth 6 have a lower height than teeth 5 and have a substantially conical shape.

    Les espaces 8, ainsi que les espaces entre les dents 5, 6 de chaque rangée, sont tels qu'il permettent le passage des cheveux entre les dents 5, 6 mais qu'ils permettent de retenir le produit en eux, compte tenu de la viscosité de ce dernier.The spaces 8, as well as the spaces between the teeth 5, 6 of each row, are such that they allow the passage of hair between the teeth 5, 6 but that they make it possible to retain the product in them, taking into account viscosity of the latter.

    Les conduits 7 débouchent de proche en proche dans le réservoir 2 d'une part et dans le fond des espaces 8 d'autre part pour permettre l'alimentation des dents 5, 6 en produit.The conduits 7 emerge gradually in the tank 2 on the one hand and in the bottom of the spaces 8 on the other hand for allow the teeth 5, 6 to be supplied with product.

    Les formes, dimensions ou espacement de la tête 3, des dents 5, 6, conduits 7 et espaces 8 peuvent varier plus ou moins en fonction de la viscosité du produit à appliquer, pour assurer une rétention et une application optimales de ce dernier.The shapes, dimensions or spacing of the head 3, the teeth 5, 6, ducts 7 and spaces 8 may vary more or less depending on the viscosity of the product to be applied, to ensure retention and optimal application of the latter.

    Ainsi, dans le cas d'un produit présentant une viscosité relativement élevée, c'est-à-dire ayant une consistance de crème, tel que le produit commercialisé sous la dénomination "MAJIREL" par la société L'OREAL, les formes, dimensions ou espacement de la tête 3, des dents 5, 6, conduits 7 et espaces 8 sont de préférence les suivantes :

    • tête 3 : longueur de 40 mm ; largeur de 10 mm ;
    • dents 5 : hauteur de 10 mm ; diamètre de 1 mm, partie 5a de 7 mm de hauteur, partie 5b de forme conique ;
    • espace total entre les rangées de dents 5 : 8 mm ;
    • nombre total de dents 5 : 20 à 22 ;
    • conduits 7 : 2 mm de diamètre ; au nombre de cinq dans chaque espace 8, soit 10 au total ;
    • dents 6 : 6 mm de hauteur ; base de 2 mm de diamètre ;
    • largeur de chaque espace 8 : 3 mm.
    Thus, in the case of a product having a relatively high viscosity, that is to say having a consistency of cream, such as the product marketed under the name "MAJIREL" by the company L'OREAL, the shapes, dimensions or spacing of the head 3, the teeth 5, 6, conduits 7 and spaces 8 are preferably the following:
    • head 3: length 40 mm; width of 10 mm;
    • teeth 5: height 10 mm; diameter of 1 mm, part 5a of 7 mm in height, part 5b of conical shape;
    • total space between rows of teeth 5: 8 mm;
    • total number of teeth 5: 20 to 22;
    • ducts 7: 2 mm in diameter; five in each space 8, 10 in total;
    • teeth 6: 6 mm high; base 2 mm in diameter;
    • width of each space 8: 3 mm.

    Dans le cas d'un produit présentant une viscosité moyenne, c'est-à-dire ayant une consistance de gel, tel que le produit commercialisé sous la dénomination "CRESCENDO" par la société L'OREAL, les formes, dimensions ou espacement de la tête 3, des dents 5, 6, conduits 7 et espaces 8 sont de préférence les suivantes :

    • tête 3 : longueur de 40 mm ; largeur de 10 mm ;
    • dents 5 : hauteur de 10 mm ; section ovale de 1,5 mm de longueur et 1 mm de largeur ; partie 5a de 7 mm de hauteur, partie 5b de forme effilée ;
    • espace total entre les rangées de dents 5 : 7 mm ;
    • nombre total de dents 5 : 22 à 24;
    • conduits 7 1,5 mm de diamètre ; au nombre de six dans chaque espace 8, soit 12 au total ;
    • dents 6 : 6 mm de hauteur ; base de 2 mm de diamètre ;
    • largeur de chaque espace 8 : 2,5 mm.
    In the case of a product having a medium viscosity, that is to say having a gel consistency, such as the product marketed under the name "CRESCENDO" by the company L'OREAL, the shapes, dimensions or spacing of the head 3, teeth 5, 6, conduits 7 and spaces 8 are preferably the following:
    • head 3: length 40 mm; width of 10 mm;
    • teeth 5: height 10 mm; oval section of 1.5 mm in length and 1 mm in width; part 5a of 7 mm in height, part 5b of tapered shape;
    • total space between rows of teeth 5: 7 mm;
    • total number of teeth 5: 22 to 24;

    • teeth 6: 6 mm high; base 2 mm in diameter;
    • width of each space 8: 2.5 mm.

    Dans le cas d'un produit présentant une viscosité plus faible, c'est-à-dire ayant une consistance d'huile, tel que le produit commercialisé sous la dénomination "RENOVATIVE" par la société L'OREAL, les formes, dimensions ou espacement de la tête 3, des dents 5, 6, conduits 7 et espaces 8 sont de préférence les suivantes :

    • tête 3 : longueur de 40 mm ; largeur de 10 mm ;
    • dents 5 : hauteur de 10 mm ; section ovale de 2 mm de longueur et 1 mm de largeur ; partie 5a de 7 mm de hauteur, partie 5b de forme effilée ;
    • espace total entre les rangées de dents 5 : 6 mm ;
    • nombre total de dents 5 : 24 à 26 ;
    • conduits 7 : 1,2 mm de diamètre ; au nombre de sept dans chaque espace 8, soit 14 au total ;
    • dents 6 : 6 mm de hauteur ; base de 2 mm de diamètre ;
    • largeur de chaque espace 8 : 2 mm.
    In the case of a product having a lower viscosity, that is to say having an oil consistency, such as the product sold under the name "RENOVATIVE" by the company L'OREAL, the shapes, dimensions or spacing of the head 3, the teeth 5, 6, conduits 7 and spaces 8 are preferably the following:
    • head 3: length 40 mm; width of 10 mm;
    • teeth 5: height 10 mm; oval section 2 mm long and 1 mm wide; part 5a of 7 mm in height, part 5b of tapered shape;
    • total space between rows of teeth 5: 6 mm;
    • total number of teeth 5: 24 to 26;
    • ducts 7: 1.2 mm in diameter; seven in each space 8, 14 in total;
    • teeth 6: 6 mm high; base 2 mm in diameter;
    • width of each space 8: 2 mm.

    L'invention fournit ainsi un dispositif permettant l'application d'un produit plus ou moins visqueux sur des cheveux, notamment d'un produit colorant, qui remédie aux inconvénients des dispositifs homologues de la technique antérieure. Les réservoirs intermédiaires que constituent les espaces 8 permettent une régulation et un contrôle de l'émission de produit, et donc l'application régulière de celui-ci sur les cheveux. The invention thus provides a device allowing the application a more or less viscous product on hair, in particular a coloring product, which overcomes the disadvantages of homologous devices of the prior art. The intermediate tanks that constitute spaces 8 allow regulation and control of the emission of product, and therefore the regular application of it on the hair.

    Il va de soi que l'invention n'est pas limitée à la forme de réalisation décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple mais qu'elle en embrasse, au contraire, toutes les variantes de réalisation. Ainsi, l'acheminement du produit peut être réalisé autrement qu'en déformant le réservoir 2, notamment par un système à piston.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the form of realization described above by way of example but that it embraces, at on the contrary, all the variant embodiments. Thus, the routing of the product can be produced other than by deforming the reservoir 2, in particular by a piston system.
