- This device is characterized by the fact that the basics of said consecutive teeth are substantially aligned and by the fact that the portions extending from the bases of said consecutive teeth are offset alternately on either side of a geometric separation surface.
- the applicator according to the invention preferably comprises a rod, with at least one row of a succession of consecutive teeth arranged at one end of the stem.
- the teeth can be produced by plastic molding.
- substantially aligned bases it should be understood that a portion of each of the bases of the consecutive teeth is arranged on a first side of a line passing through the bases of consecutive teeth, and another portion of each of the bases consecutive teeth is arranged on a second side of the aforementioned line, opposite on the first side, this line being substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of a base on which the teeth are arranged.
- the consecutive teeth are arranged so that a straight line passes through the centers of each of the bases of consecutive teeth. So the centers of the bases of three consecutive teeth may lie on the same straight line.
- the teeth can be made with a small gap at their base, of so that the eyelashes can be effectively gripped between two consecutive teeth, while having a greater spacing between their free ends, favoring the engagement of the eyelashes between the teeth and the constitution of product reserves on the application element.
- the geometrical arrangement of the teeth also allows fibers to small dimensions, possibly contained in the product, to align so to be substantially parallel to each other when the product is applied, or when the teeth are engaged through a wiping member, or both. This alignment results from a funneling effect between two consecutive teeth.
- the spacing between the bases of two consecutive teeth is preferably less than or equal to 0.4 mm.
- the geometric separation surface passes through the centers of the bases of the teeth.
- the application element comprises a base.
- the teeth are produced by plastic molding in one piece with the base.
- the base can be attached to the applicator rod and the base can have its axis parallel or not to that of the applicator rod.
- the base can be removably attached to the stem of the applicator.
- the geometric separation surface can be a plane, preferably a plane of symmetry for the base.
- the geometric separation surface is a joint plane for molding the teeth and / or the application element.
- the geometric separation surface can be non-planar, for example twisted.
- the geometric separation surface can thus be a helical surface or a curved surface, for example.
- the height of the base of the teeth can be greater than or equal to 0.2 mm, for example.
- the applicator stem may be flat or substantially cylindrical or present yet other configurations, depending on the desired effects and the desired ergonomics.

- the base can also be produced by plastic molding in one piece with the applicator rod.
- the application element can be produced by plastic molding in one piece with the applicator rod and with a sealing member intended to ensure a tight closure of the container in the absence of use, this sealing member which may have a shaped surface to adjust so waterproof in a container neck.
- the container comprises a wiping member arranged to remove excess product from the teeth when the applicator is removed from the container.
- This wiper member is preferably deformable.
- a closure cap is disposed at one end of the applicator opposite the end comprising the teeth, this closure cap being intended to close the container containing the product to be applied.
- This closure cap may be provided with a sealing means for seal the container.
- At least two teeth consecutive may have free ends that diverge, converge, intersect or are substantially parallel.

- This housing can accommodate an element for interior application such as a brush of the twisted core type.
- the applicator element may have only one row of teeth and make up a comb.
- the applicator element can also have several rows of teeth arranged at different angular positions around the applicator and constitute a brush.
- the application element can comprise for example a second row of teeth opposite the first.
- the application element can also include, for example, a base of polygonal cross section or not. At least one row of teeth extends from preferably substantially in the extension of one side of the base in the case of a polygonal section. In the case of a non-polygonal section, for example circular or elliptical, the bases preferably connect substantially tangentially at the base.
- An application element having such a configuration allows use the base to apply the product and the contact of the eyelashes with the teeth can be done gradually. An application element with this structure can still allow to lengthen and curl the eyelashes.
- the application element can be more flexible than the rod.
- the application element can be made, for example, from a plastic material softer than that used to make the applicator stem. We can thus get more comfort in use.
- the applicator rod can be made of a plastic material less hard than that used to make the application element. We can thus use for manufacturing reasons for example a relatively hard material to make the application element and compensate for the element's hardness of application at the time of application by the flexibility of the rod.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne l'application d'un produit, notamment cosmétique, sur les cils ou les sourcils.The present invention relates to the application of a product, in particular cosmetic, on eyelashes or eyebrows.
L'invention a notamment pour objet un nouveau dispositif pour appliquer un produit sur les cils ou les sourcils, comprenant un récipient pour contenir une réserve de produit et un applicateur comprenant un élément d'application ayant au moins une rangée de dents, cette dernière comportant une succession de dents consécutives, chaque dent de cette succession de dents comprenant une base et une portion s'étendant à partir de la base. Ce dispositif est caractérisé par le fait que les bases desdites dents consécutives sont sensiblement alignées et par le fait que les portions s'étendant à partir des bases desdites dents consécutives sont décalées alternativement de part et d'autre d'une surface géométrique de séparation.The invention particularly relates to a new device for applying a product on the eyelashes or the eyebrows, comprising a container for containing a reserve of product and an applicator comprising an application element having at at least one row of teeth, the latter comprising a succession of consecutive teeth, each tooth of this succession of teeth comprising a base and a portion extending from the base. This device is characterized by the fact that the basics of said consecutive teeth are substantially aligned and by the fact that the portions extending from the bases of said consecutive teeth are offset alternately on either side of a geometric separation surface.
L'applicateur selon l'invention comporte de préférence une tige, avec au moins une rangée d'une succession de dents consécutives disposée à une extrémité de la tige. Les dents peuvent être réalisées par moulage de matière plastique.The applicator according to the invention preferably comprises a rod, with at least one row of a succession of consecutive teeth arranged at one end of the stem. The teeth can be produced by plastic molding.
Par « bases sensiblement alignées », il faut comprendre qu'une portion de chacune des bases des dents consécutives est disposée d'un premier côté d'une ligne passant par les bases des dents consécutives, et une autre portion de chacune des bases des dents consécutives est disposée d'un second côté de la ligne précitée, opposé au premier côté, cette ligne étant sensiblement parallèle à un axe longitudinal d'une embase sur laquelle les dents sont disposées. Dans une réalisation particulière, non limitative de l'invention, avec des dents dont les bases sont sensiblement alignées, les dents consécutives sont disposées de telle sorte qu'une ligne droite passe par les centres de chacune des bases des dents consécutives. Ainsi, les centres des bases de trois dents consécutives peuvent se situer sur une même droite.By “substantially aligned bases”, it should be understood that a portion of each of the bases of the consecutive teeth is arranged on a first side of a line passing through the bases of consecutive teeth, and another portion of each of the bases consecutive teeth is arranged on a second side of the aforementioned line, opposite on the first side, this line being substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of a base on which the teeth are arranged. In a particular realization, not limitation of the invention, with teeth whose bases are substantially aligned, the consecutive teeth are arranged so that a straight line passes through the centers of each of the bases of consecutive teeth. So the centers of the bases of three consecutive teeth may lie on the same straight line.
Le fait d'avoir des bases sensiblement alignées et des parties s'étendant à partir des hases alternativement décalées procure des avantages.Having substantially aligned bases and portions extending Using alternately offset hases provides advantages.
En particulier, en jouant sur la géométrie des dents et leur écartement il est possible de constituer des cavités plus ou moins importantes entre les dents, cavités qui peuvent se charger de produit au moment de l'application.In particular, by playing on the geometry of the teeth and their spacing it it is possible to form more or less large cavities between the teeth, cavities who can load the product at the time of application.
Il est ainsi possible de réaliser un élément d'application capable de se charger avec une quantité substantielle de produit, sans pour autant que l'élément d'application perde sa capacité à agripper les cils.It is thus possible to produce an application element capable of load with a substantial amount of product, without the element application loses its ability to grip the eyelashes.
Les dents peuvent être réalisées avec un faible écartement à leur base, de manière à ce que les cils puissent être saisis efficacement entre deux dents consécutives, tout en ayant un écartement plus important entre leurs extrémités libres, favorisant l'engagement des cils entre les dents et la constitution de réserves de produit sur l'élément d'application.The teeth can be made with a small gap at their base, of so that the eyelashes can be effectively gripped between two consecutive teeth, while having a greater spacing between their free ends, favoring the engagement of the eyelashes between the teeth and the constitution of product reserves on the application element.
La disposition géométrique des dents permet également à des fibres de petites dimensions, éventuellement contenues dans le produit, de s'aligner de manière à être sensiblement parallèles les unes aux autres lorsque le produit est appliqué, ou lorsque les dents sont engagées à travers un organe d'essorage, ou les deux. Cet alignement résulte d'un effet d'entonnoir entre deux dents consécutives.The geometrical arrangement of the teeth also allows fibers to small dimensions, possibly contained in the product, to align so to be substantially parallel to each other when the product is applied, or when the teeth are engaged through a wiping member, or both. This alignment results from a funneling effect between two consecutive teeth.
L'écartement entre les bases de deux dents consécutives est de préférence inférieur ou égal à 0,4 mm.The spacing between the bases of two consecutive teeth is preferably less than or equal to 0.4 mm.
De préférence, la surface géométrique de séparation passe par les centres des bases des dents.Preferably, the geometric separation surface passes through the centers of the bases of the teeth.
De préférence encore, l'élément d'application comporte une embase.More preferably, the application element comprises a base.
Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, les dents sont réalisées par moulage de matière plastique d'un seul tenant avec l'embase.In a particular embodiment, the teeth are produced by plastic molding in one piece with the base.
L'embase peut être fixée sur la tige de l'applicateur et l'embase peut avoir son axe parallèle ou non à celui de la tige de l'applicateur.The base can be attached to the applicator rod and the base can have its axis parallel or not to that of the applicator rod.
L'embase peut être fixée de manière amovible sur la tige de l'applicateur.The base can be removably attached to the stem of the applicator.
La surface géométrique de séparation peut être un plan, de préférence un plan de symétrie pour l'embase.The geometric separation surface can be a plane, preferably a plane of symmetry for the base.
De préférence, la surface géométrique de séparation est un plan de joint pour le moulage des dents et/ou de l'élément d'application.Preferably, the geometric separation surface is a joint plane for molding the teeth and / or the application element.
La surface géométrique de séparation peut être non plane, par exemple vrillée.The geometric separation surface can be non-planar, for example twisted.
La surface géométrique de séparation peut ainsi être une surface hélicoïdale ou une surface courbe, par exemple.The geometric separation surface can thus be a helical surface or a curved surface, for example.
La hauteur de la base des dents peut être supérieure ou égale à 0,2 mm, par exemple.The height of the base of the teeth can be greater than or equal to 0.2 mm, for example.
La tige de l'applicateur peut être plate ou sensiblement cylindrique ou présenter d'autres configurations encore, selon les effets désirés et l'ergonomie recherchée.The applicator stem may be flat or substantially cylindrical or present yet other configurations, depending on the desired effects and the desired ergonomics.
La tige peut comporter à son extrémité distale un connecteur dans lequel l'embase peut être engagée de manière amovible.The rod may have a connector at its distal end in which the base can be engaged in a removable manner.
Dans une réalisation préférée, le connecteur comporte un logement définissant une fente agencée pour recevoir l'embase.In a preferred embodiment, the connector comprises a housing defining a slot arranged to receive the base.
Le logement peut avoir un axe longitudinal qui est parallèle à l'axe de la tige ou faire un angle avec celui-ci, l'axe longitudinal du logement étant par exemple sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal de la tige.The housing may have a longitudinal axis which is parallel to the axis of the rod or make an angle with it, the longitudinal axis of the housing being for example substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rod.
Dans une réalisation particulière, la fente qui reçoit l'embase reçoit également les bases des dents, et la fente peut venir en prise sur les bases des dents.In a particular embodiment, the slot which receives the base also receives the bases of the teeth, and the slot may engage the bases of the teeth.
L'embase peut également être réalisée par moulage de matière plastique d'un seul tenant avec la tige de l'applicateur.The base can also be produced by plastic molding in one piece with the applicator rod.
L'élément d'application peut être réalisé par moulage de matière plastique d'un seul tenant avec la tige de l'applicateur et avec un organe d'étanchéité destiné à assurer une fermeture étanche du récipient en l'absence d'utilisation, cet organe d'étanchéité pouvant présenter une surface conformée pour s'ajuster de manière étanche dans un col du récipient.The application element can be produced by plastic molding in one piece with the applicator rod and with a sealing member intended to ensure a tight closure of the container in the absence of use, this sealing member which may have a shaped surface to adjust so waterproof in a container neck.
Dans une réalisation particulière, le récipient comporte un organe d'essorage agencé pour retirer l'excès de produit des dents lorsque l'applicateur est retiré du récipient.In a particular embodiment, the container comprises a wiping member arranged to remove excess product from the teeth when the applicator is removed from the container.
Cet organe d'essorage est de préférence déformable.This wiper member is preferably deformable.
De préférence, un capuchon de fermeture est disposé à une extrémité de l'applicateur opposée à l'extrémité comprenant les dents, ce capuchon de fermeture étant destiné à femer le récipient contenant le produit à appliquer.Preferably, a closure cap is disposed at one end of the applicator opposite the end comprising the teeth, this closure cap being intended to close the container containing the product to be applied.
Ce capuchon de fermeture peut être muni d'un moyen d'étanchéité pour fermer de manière étanche le récipient. This closure cap may be provided with a sealing means for seal the container.
Lorsque l'applicateur est observé dans l'axe longitudinal d'une portion de l'élément d'application sur laquelle sont disposées les dents, au moins deux dents consécutives peuvent avoir des extrémités libres qui divergent, convergent, se croisent ou sont sensiblement parallèles.When the applicator is observed in the longitudinal axis of a portion of the application element on which the teeth are arranged, at least two teeth consecutive may have free ends that diverge, converge, intersect or are substantially parallel.
Lorsque l'applicateur est observé selon l'axe longitudinal d'une portion de l'élément d'application sur laquelle sont disposées les dents, une dent sur au moins deux dents consécutives peut avoir une extrémité libre qui diverge en s'écartant de l'extrémité libre de l'autre dent, cette autre dent pouvant avoir une extrémité libre qui est sensiblement rectiligne.When the applicator is observed along the longitudinal axis of a portion of the application element on which the teeth are arranged, one tooth on at least two consecutive teeth may have a free end which diverges away from the free end of the other tooth, this other tooth possibly having a free end which is substantially straight.
Lorsque l'élément d'application est observé dans son axe, au moins deux dents consécutives, de préférence trois, peuvent avoir des extrémités libres qui sont sensiblement alignées.When the application element is observed in its axis, at least two consecutive teeth, preferably three, may have free ends which are substantially aligned.
L'élément d'application peut comporter des dents ayant des extrémités libres orientées vers une extrémité proximale de l'applicateur, disposées en alternance avec des dents ayant des extrémités libres orientées vers une extrémité distale de l'applicateur.The applicator element may include teeth having free ends oriented towards a proximal end of the applicator, arranged alternately with teeth having free ends oriented towards a distal end of the applicator.
Les dents peuvent ménager entre elles un logement d'axe sensiblement parallèle à celui de l'embase. Ce logement peut permettre de recevoir un élément d'application intérieur tel qu'une brosse du type à âme torsadée.The teeth can form between them a housing of substantially axis parallel to that of the base. This housing can accommodate an element for interior application such as a brush of the twisted core type.
L'élément d'application peut ne comporter qu'une seule rangée de dents et constituer un peigne.The applicator element may have only one row of teeth and make up a comb.
L'élément d'application peut aussi comporter plusieurs rangées de dents disposées à des positions angulaires différentes autour de l'applicateur et constituer une brosse.The applicator element can also have several rows of teeth arranged at different angular positions around the applicator and constitute a brush.
L'élément d'application peut comporter par exemple une deuxième rangée de dents à l'opposé de la première.The application element can comprise for example a second row of teeth opposite the first.
L'élément d'application peut aussi comporter, par exemple, une embase de section transversale polygonale ou non. Au moins une rangée de dents s'étend de préférence sensiblement dans le prolongement d'un côté de l'embase dans le cas d'une section polygonale. Dans le cas d'une section non polygonale, par exemple circulaire ou elliptique, les bases se raccordent de préférence sensiblement tangentiellement à l'embase. Un élément d'application ayant une telle configuration permet d'utiliser l'embase pour appliquer le produit et le contact des cils avec les dents peut s'effectuer de manière progressive. Un élément d'application ayant cette structure peut permettre encore de bien allonger et recourber les cils.The application element can also include, for example, a base of polygonal cross section or not. At least one row of teeth extends from preferably substantially in the extension of one side of the base in the case of a polygonal section. In the case of a non-polygonal section, for example circular or elliptical, the bases preferably connect substantially tangentially at the base. An application element having such a configuration allows use the base to apply the product and the contact of the eyelashes with the teeth can be done gradually. An application element with this structure can still allow to lengthen and curl the eyelashes.
L'élément d'application peut être plus flexible que la tige.The application element can be more flexible than the rod.
L'élément d'application peut être réalisé par exemple dans une matière plastique plus souple que celle utilisée pour fabriquer la tige de l'applicateur. On peut ainsi obtenir plus de confort à l'utilisation.The application element can be made, for example, from a plastic material softer than that used to make the applicator stem. We can thus get more comfort in use.
En variante, la tige de l'applicateur peut être réalisée dans une matière plastique moins dure que celle servant à réaliser l'élément d'application. On peut ainsi utiliser pour des raisons de fabrication par exemple un matériau relativement dur pour réaliser l'élément d'application et compenser la dureté de l'élément d'application au moment de l'application par la souplesse de la tige.Alternatively, the applicator rod can be made of a plastic material less hard than that used to make the application element. We can thus use for manufacturing reasons for example a relatively hard material to make the application element and compensate for the element's hardness of application at the time of application by the flexibility of the rod.
Les dents peuvent également être réalisées dans une matière différente de celle utilisée pour réaliser l'embase.The teeth can also be made of a material different from that used to make the base.
La hauteur des dents peut être variable.The height of the teeth can be variable.
De préférence, la hauteur des dents est comprise entre 0,5 et 15 mm environ, et de préférence encore entre 7 et 13 mm environ.Preferably, the height of the teeth is between 0.5 and 15 mm approximately, and more preferably between 7 and 13 mm approximately.
L'invention a encore pour objet un applicateur pour appliquer un produit sur les cils ou les sourcils comprenant une tige et une embase disposée à une extrémité de la tige. Cet applicateur comporte en outre au moins une rangée de dents ayant des bases disposées sur l'embase et des portions s'étendant à partir des bases. Les bases de dents consécutives sont sensiblement alignées et les portions s'étendant à partir des bases des dents consécutives sont disposées de part et d'autre d'une surface géométrique de séparation.The invention also relates to an applicator for applying a product to eyelashes or eyebrows comprising a rod and a base disposed at one end of the stem. This applicator further comprises at least one row of teeth having bases arranged on the base and portions extending from the bases. The basics of consecutive teeth are substantially aligned and the portions extending from bases of consecutive teeth are arranged on either side of a geometric surface of seperation.
La largeur de l'embase est de préférence supérieure à la largeur des bases.The width of the base is preferably greater than the width of the bases.
Une seconde rangée de dents peut également être disposée sur l'embase. Cette seconde rangée de dents peut être disposée de telle sorte que les rangées soient dirigées dans des directions sensiblement opposées.A second row of teeth can also be arranged on the base. This second row of teeth can be arranged so that the rows are directed in substantially opposite directions.
Les portions s'étendant à partir des bases de dents consécutives peuvent diverger en s'écartant l'une de l'autre. Ces portions divergentes peuvent se trouver à proximité des bases des dents.The portions extending from the bases of consecutive teeth may diverge moving away from each other. These divergent portions can be found at near the bases of the teeth.
Les dents peuvent avoir différentes longueurs et les bases des dents peuvent être soit en contact, soit espacées les unes des autres.The teeth can have different lengths and the bases of the teeth can be either in contact or spaced from each other.
Les dents peuvent être disposées sur l'embase de manière non symétrique
par rapport à une ligne selon laquelle les bases sont alignées.The teeth may be arranged on the base in an asymmetrical manner
relative to a line along which the bases are aligned.
L'embase peut comporter deux extrémités, l'une desquelles peut être fixée à une partie d'extrémité distale de la tige.The base can have two ends, one of which can be fixed to a distal end portion of the stem.
En variante, l'embase peut être fixée à une portion d'extrémité distale de la tige le long d'une partie située entre ses extrémités.Alternatively, the base can be fixed to a distal end portion of the rod along a part located between its ends.
Au moins l'une des dents peut comporter une portion creuse, s'étendant de préférence suivant la longueur de la dent. De préférence, au moins un côté de la dent présente alors une ouverture donnant accès à cette portion creuse.At least one of the teeth may have a hollow portion, extending preferably according to the length of the tooth. Preferably, at least one side of the tooth then has an opening giving access to this hollow portion.
L'une au moins des dents peut être floquée.At least one of the teeth can be flocked.
L'applicateur peut faire partie d'un système comprenant un récipient.The applicator can be part of a system comprising a container.
Ce récipient peut avoir un organe d'essorage.This container may have a wringing member.
De préférence, l'organe d'essorage est déformable, et celui-ci peut comporter un bloc d'une mousse à cellules ouvertes ou une lèvre en élastomère, ou d'autres organes similaires appropriés.Preferably, the wiping member is deformable, and this may include a block of open cell foam or an elastomer lip, or others similar appropriate bodies.
L'invention a encore pour objet un applicateur comprenant une tige et une embase à une extrémité de la tige. Au moins une rangée de dents comprenant des bases est disposée sur l'embase et les bases de dents consécutives de cette rangée sont sensiblement alignées le long d'un plan passant par les bases des dents consécutives, ces dernières comprenant des portions s'étendant à partir de leur base alternativement décalées de chaque côté du plan d'alignement.The invention also relates to an applicator comprising a rod and a base at one end of the rod. At least one row of teeth comprising bases is arranged on the base and the bases of consecutive teeth of this row are substantially aligned along a plane passing through the bases of consecutive teeth, the latter comprising portions extending alternately from their base offset on each side of the alignment plane.
L'invention a encore pour objet un procédé pour appliquer un produit sur les cils au moyen d'un applicateur tel que défini plus haut. Ce procédé comporte les étapes consistant à charger avec du produit au moins une partie des dents et à amener au moins une partie des dents au contact des cils ou des sourcils, de telle sorte que le produit se dépose sur les cils ou les sourcils. Le chargement en produit peut se faire en insérant l'applicateur ou une portion de celui-ci dans un récipient contenant le produit puis en retirant l'applicateur du récipient et en essuyant l'excès de produit qui s'est déposé sur les dents. Le chargement en produit peut également se faire en distribuant le produit à partir du récipient sur les dents ou en amenant ces dernières au contact d'un pain de produit solide, éventuellement humidifié.The invention also relates to a method for applying a product to the eyelashes by means of an applicator as defined above. This process includes the steps of loading with product at least part of the teeth and bringing at least part of the teeth in contact with the eyelashes or eyebrows, so that the product is deposited on the eyelashes or eyebrows. Product loading can be done by inserting the applicator or a portion of it into a container containing the product then removing the applicator from the container and wiping off the excess product that settled on the teeth. Product loading can also be done by distributing the product from the container on the teeth or by bringing them to the contact with a solid product, possibly moistened.
Dans ce dernier cas, le produit peut être humidifié avant d'amener les dents à son contact ou en variante le produit peut être déposé sur les dents et humidifié ensuite.In the latter case, the product can be moistened before bringing the teeth on contact or alternatively the product can be placed on the teeth and moistened then.
De préférence, le produit qui est appliqué est du mascara. Si ce mascara comprend des fibres, le procédé comprend en outre l'étape consistant à orienter les fibres avec les dents, de telle sorte que les fibres soient sensiblement parallèles aux cils lorsque le produit est appliqué.Preferably, the product which is applied is mascara. If this mascara comprises fibers, the method further comprises the step of orienting the fibers with the teeth, so that the fibers are substantially parallel to the eyelashes when the product is applied.
Lorsque l'applicateur comporte une embase sur laquelle les dents sont disposées et une tige, et que l'embase peut être fixée de manière amovible sur la tige, le procédé peut aussi comporter l'étape consistant à fixer l'embase sur la tige. Cela permet à l'applicateur de recevoir des embases interchangeables ayant différentes configurations de dents.When the applicator has a base on which the teeth are arranged and a rod, and that the base can be removably attached to the rod, the method can also include the step of fixing the base on the rod. That allows the applicator to receive interchangeable bases having different tooth configurations.
Ainsi, l'utilisateur peut choisir parmi plusieurs configurations de dents celle permettant d'obtenir l'effet souhaité.So the user can choose from several tooth configurations that allowing to obtain the desired effect.
L'applicateur peut être utilisé pour appliquer un produit cosmétique, de préférence du mascara, sur les cils ou les sourcils. Cependant, d'autres produits peuvent être appliqués et l'applicateur selon la présente invention peut également être utilisé pour peigner les cils ou les sourcils, par exemple.The applicator can be used to apply a cosmetic product, preferably mascara, on eyelashes or eyebrows. However, other products may be applied and the applicator according to the present invention can also be used to comb eyelashes or eyebrows, for example.

Le dispositif 10 représenté sur les figures 1 à 4 comporte un récipient 11
contenant une réserve de produit cosmétique tel que du mascara et un applicateur 12
comportant une tige 13 d'axe X, munie à une extrémité d'un élément d'application 14
et à l'autre extrémité d'un élément de préhension 15 qui constitue également un capuchon
de fermeture de récipient 11.The
Le récipient 11 comporte dans l'exemple décrit un organe d'essorage 16
constitué ici par un bloc de mousse à cellules ouvertes. The
D'autres types d'organes d'essorage peuvent être utilisés, par exemple une
lèvre souple 16A comme illustré sur la figure 2A, floquée ou non.Other types of wipers can be used, for example a
L'organe d'essorage est agencé de telle sorte qu'il fléchit ou se déforme pour prendre la forme de l'élément d'application lorsque celui-ci le traverse.The wiper member is arranged so that it flexes or deforms to take the form of the application element when the latter passes through it.
Le récipient est fermé de façon étanche en l'absence d'utilisation, en prévoyant
par exemple une surface d'étanchéité sur l'organe de préhension 15 ou la tige
de l'applicateur.The container is tightly closed when not in use, providing
for example a sealing surface on the gripping
Dans l'exemple représenté, l'élément d'application se présente sous la
forme d'un peigne 14 qui comporte une seule rangée de dents réalisées d'un seul tenant
par moulage de matière plastique avec une embase 17 relativement large, d'axe
Z s'étendant dans le prolongement de la tige 13 de l'applicateur.In the example shown, the application element appears under the
shape of a
La tige 13 présente sur une partie de sa longueur un moindre diamètre
que le peigne 14, notamment afin de ne pas déformer de manière permanente
l'organe d'essorage 16 (ou 16A).The
Le peigne 14 comporte dans l'exemple décrit deux séries de dents 18a et
18b disposées en alternance, dont les bases 19 sont non jointives et sensiblement alignées
suivant l'axe Z de l'embase 17.The
Les parties supérieures des dents sont orientées alternativement respectivement
de part et d'autre d'une surface géométrique de séparation S, constituée ici
par un plan s'étendant parallèlement aux bases 19 des dents et contenant l'axe Z de
l'embase 17.The upper parts of the teeth are oriented alternately respectively
on either side of a geometric separation surface S, constituted here
by a plane extending parallel to the
L'axe Z de l'embase 17 peut être confondu avec l'axe X de la tige 13 ou
former un angle avec celui-ci, permettant d'améliorer l'ergonomie de l'applicateur.The axis Z of the base 17 can be merged with the axis X of the
La hauteur totale des dents est de préférence comprise entre 0,5 mm et 15 mm et de préférence encore est comprise entre 7 et 13 mm environ.The total height of the teeth is preferably between 0.5 mm and 15 mm and more preferably is between 7 and 13 mm approximately.
Les hauteurs des dents ne sont pas nécessairement égales et la hauteur peut varier d'une dent à l'autre.The heights of the teeth are not necessarily equal and the height may vary from tooth to tooth.
Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 4, les dents 18a ont leur extrémité libre
inclinée vers la gauche tandis que les dents 18b, situées chacune à mi-distance
entre deux dents 18a, ont leur extrémité libre inclinée vers la droite.As can be seen in Figure 4, the
Grâce à cette disposition des dents 18a et 18b sur le peigne 14, on peut
avoir un espacement entre les bases 19 des dents nul ou très faible, par exemple inférieur
ou égal à 0,4 mm.Thanks to this arrangement of the
La longueur totale d'une rangée de dents consécutives est comprise de préférence entre 10 mm et 45 mm environ, voire entre 15 et 28 mm et de préférence encore entre 20 mm et 26 mm.The total length of a row of consecutive teeth is from preferably between 10 mm and 45 mm approximately, or even between 15 and 28 mm and preferably still between 20 mm and 26 mm.
Le nombre de dents par rangée est compris de préférence entre 6 et 50 environ, voire entre 10 et 35 environ, et de préférence encore entre 15 et 32 environ.The number of teeth per row is preferably between 6 and 50 approximately, or even between 10 and 35 approximately, and more preferably between 15 and 32 approximately.
Deux dents successives forment entre elles des échancrures permettant à l'élément d'application d'agripper les cils durant l'application du produit sur ces derniers.Two successive teeth form notches between them allowing the application element to grip the eyelashes during the application of the product to the latter.
Cela peut entrainer une amélioration dans l'allongement et le recourbement des cils.This can lead to improvement in lengthening and bending Eyelash.
Les parties supérieures décalées des dents peuvent former entre elles des cavités permettant de constituer des réserves de produit sur l'élément d'application.The offset upper parts of the teeth can form cavities allowing to build up product reserves on the application element.
Cela peut améliorer la manière dont l'élément d'application se charge en produit, de sorte que d'avantage de produit peut être appliqué avant qu'il soit nécessaire de recharger l'applicateur.This can improve the way the application element loads by product, so more product can be applied before it is needed to recharge the applicator.
Chacun de ces effets, à savoir l'effet d'agripement des cils et l'effet de chargement en produit, contribue à l'obtention d'un maquillage de qualité.Each of these effects, namely the eyelash grip effect and the loading of product, contributes to obtaining quality makeup.
L'embase peut présenter diverses formes de réalisation.The base can have various embodiments.
A titre d'exemple, on a représenté sur la figure 5 un élément d'application
20 comportant une embase 22 plus étroite et deux séries de dents 28a et 28b formant
une rangée de dents consécutives.By way of example, FIG. 5 shows an
Les dents 28a et 28b consécutives ont des bases 29 sensiblement alignées
suivant l'axe Z de l'embase 22 et des parties supérieures, s'étendant à partir des bases
et allant jusqu'à l'extrémité libre des dents, disposées alternativement de part et d'autre
d'une surface géométrique de séparation S, constituée ici par un plan médian de
symétrie pour l'embase 22.
Autrement dit, la portion supérieure de la dent 28a se situe d'un côté de
la surface de géométrique de séparation S et la portion supérieure de la dent 28b se
situe du côté opposé de la surface S. In other words, the upper portion of
La largeur de l'embase 22 représentée sur la figure 5 est à peine supérieure
à la largeur des bases 29 des dents.The width of the base 22 shown in Figure 5 is barely greater
the width of the
L'embase 22 supportant les dents du peigne peut être rectiligne d'axe Z comme cela vient d'être décrit.The base 22 supporting the teeth of the comb may be rectilinear with a Z axis as just described.
L'embase peut aussi être courbe ou s'étendre suivant une ligne brisée, par exemple une ligne en zigzag.The base can also be curved or extend along a broken line, for example a zigzag line.
En particulier, l'embase peut être incurvée autour d'un axe K sensiblement
perpendiculaire aux bases des dents, comme c'est le cas du peigne 30 représenté
sur la figure 6.In particular, the base can be curved around an axis K substantially
perpendicular to the bases of the teeth, as in the case of the
En outre, sur cette figure 6, les dents sont alternativement orientées à leur partie supérieure vers l'avant, c'est à dire l'extrémité distale du peigne, et vers l'arrière, c'est à dire vers la tige de l'applicateur, en plus d'être décalées alternativement vers la droite et vers la gauche.In addition, in this figure 6, the teeth are alternately oriented at their upper part towards the front, i.e. the distal end of the comb, and towards the rear, that is to say towards the applicator rod, in addition to being offset alternately to the right and to the left.
L'embase peut ainsi être incurvée autour d'un axe non perpendiculaire aux bases des dents.The base can thus be curved around a non-perpendicular axis at the bases of the teeth.
L'embase peut également être incurvée autour d'un axe sensiblement parallèle
aux bases des dents, comme c'est le cas du peigne 40 représenté sur la figure
7.The base can also be curved around a substantially parallel axis
at the bases of the teeth, as is the case with the
Sur cette figure, la surface géométrique de séparation de part et d'autre de laquelle s'étendent alternativement les parties supérieures des dents est une surface cylindrique de directrice constituée par l'axe de l'embase, cette directrice étant ici une ligne courbe, et de génératrice parallèle aux bases des dents, cette génératrice étant ici perpendiculaire au plan de la figure 7.In this figure, the geometric area of separation on either side of which extend alternately the upper parts of the teeth is a surface cylindrical director consisting of the axis of the base, this director here being a curved line, and of generator parallel to the bases of the teeth, this generator being here perpendicular to the plane of Figure 7.
Lorsque la surface géométrique de séparation est cylindrique, la directrice peut d'une manière générale être une courbe ou une ligne brisée, par exemple une ligne en zigzag.When the geometric separation surface is cylindrical, the director can generally be a curve or a broken line, for example a zigzag line.
La géométrie de l'embase est choisie en fonction du type de maquillage et de la nature du produit à appliquer sur les cils.The geometry of the base is chosen according to the type of makeup and the nature of the product to be applied to the eyelashes.
Les dents du peigne peuvent être réalisées de multiples manières sans que l'on sorte du cadre de la présente invention.The teeth of the comb can be produced in multiple ways without this is beyond the scope of the present invention.
En particulier, les deux séries de dents alternées peuvent comporter chacune des dents ayant une base symétrique de révolution ou non.In particular, the two sets of alternating teeth may each have teeth having a symmetrical base of revolution or not.
La base des dents peut présenter une section transversale circulaire, polygonale ou autre.The base of the teeth may have a circular, polygonal cross section Or other.
Les parties supérieures des dents peuvent comporter une tête arrondie ou un crochet.The upper parts of the teeth may have a rounded head or a hook.
D'une manière générale, la géométrie des dents sera choisie en fonction de la nature du produit à appliquer sur les cils et du type de maquillage recherché.In general, the geometry of the teeth will be chosen according to the nature of the product to be applied to the eyelashes and the type of makeup sought.
On a représenté sur les figures 8 à 11, 17 et 18, diverses configurations de dents, l'élément d'application étant observé selon l'axe longitudinal de l'embase.FIGS. 8 to 11, 17 and 18 show various configurations teeth, the application element being observed along the longitudinal axis of the base.
On a représenté sur la figure 8 en vue de face selon l'axe de l'embase un
élément d'application 50 essentiellement en forme de peigne ayant deux séries de
dents alternées 51a et 51b, dont les bases 52 sont sensiblement alignées sur l'embase
53.There is shown in Figure 8 in front view along the axis of the base a
Les dents 51a et 51b présentent des formes générales incurvées, essentiellement
concaves vers l'intérieur et définissent un logement 55 entre elles.
Ce logement 55 peut recevoir une brosse de type à âme torsadée 56,
comme illustré sur la figure 9.This
Les extrémités libres 54 des dents sont dirigées vers l'intérieur mais ne se
croisent pas lorsque le peigne est observé selon l'axe longitudinal de l'embase 53.The free ends 54 of the teeth are directed inward but do not
not cross when the comb is observed along the longitudinal axis of the
En variante, les extrémités libres des dents peuvent se croiser, lorsque le peigne est observé selon l'axe longitudinal de l'embase.Alternatively, the free ends of the teeth may cross, when the comb is observed along the longitudinal axis of the base.
A titre d'exemple, on a représenté sur la figure 10 un peigne 60 dans lequel
les extrémités libres 67 des deux séries de dents alternées 61a et 61b se croisent
lorsque le peigne est observé selon l'axe de l'embase.By way of example, FIG. 10 shows a
Les extrémités libres des dents consécutives peuvent également diverger lorsque le peigne est observé selon l'axe de l'embase.The free ends of consecutive teeth may also diverge when the comb is observed along the axis of the base.
A titre d'exemple, on a représenté sur la figure 11 un peigne 70 dans lequel
les extrémités libres 77 des deux séries de dents alternées 71a et 71b divergent.By way of example, FIG. 11 shows a
L'inclinaison des dents peut tendre à réaliser un contact tangentiel avec les cils au moment de l'application.The inclination of the teeth may tend to make tangential contact with eyelashes at the time of application.
L'élément d'application 120 représenté sur la figure 17 comporte des
dents alternées 121a et 121b dont les extrémités libres 122 sont sensiblement alignées.The
Cet alignement se fait dans l'exemple décrit selon une ligne parallèle à celle selon laquelle les bases des dents sont sensiblement alignées.This alignment is done in the example described along a line parallel to that according to which the bases of the teeth are substantially aligned.
Dans la variante représentée sur la figure 18, l'élément d'application 13()
comporte des dents consécutives 131a et 131b dont les extrémités libres 132 sont
sensiblement parallèles. Ainsi, elles pointent dans la même direction.In the variant shown in Figure 18, the applicator element 13 ()
has
On a représenté sur la figure 26 un élément d'application 260 comportant
deux séries de dents 261a et 261b formant une rangée de dents consécutives.FIG. 26 shows an
Les bases des dents consécutives 261a, 261b sont sensiblement alignées.
Les extrémités libres des dents sont disposées de telle sorte que les dents consécutives
ont alternativement une extrémité libre sensiblement rectiligne et une extrémité
libre qui diverge en s'écartant des extrémités libres sensiblement rectilignes, c'est-à-dire
les extrémités des dents 261a représentées sur la figure 26. L'élément
d'application peut également comporter une combinaison de dents consécutives
comprenant des dents ayant des extrémités libres divergentes et/ou des extrémités libres
convergentes et/ou des extrémités libres alignées et/ou des extrémités libres se
croisant et/ou des extrémités libres parallèles, et toutes combinaisons de telles dents
comme représenté par exemple sur la figure 27.The bases of
Sur cette figure, on voit des dents 271a, 271b ayant des extrémités libres
sensiblement alignées au niveau de l'extrémité distale de l'élément d'application,
puis divergeant alternativement et ayant à nouveau des extrémités libres sensiblement
alignées au voisinage de l'extrémité proximale de l'élément d'application.In this figure, we see
L'invention n'est pas limitée à un élément d'application comportant une seule rangée de dents et s'applique également à des éléments d'application comportant plusieurs rangées de dents, formant essentiellement une brosse, par exemple.The invention is not limited to an application element comprising a single row of teeth and also applies to application elements comprising several rows of teeth, essentially forming a brush, for example.
Dans de telles brosses, au moins une des rangées de dents comporte des bases sensiblement alignées et des portions de la longueur des dents s'étendant depuis la hase décalées alternativement de part et d'autre d'une surface géométrique de séparation.In such brushes, at least one of the rows of teeth has substantially aligned bases and portions of the length of the teeth extending from the hase offset alternately on either side of a geometric separation surface.
L'élément d'application peut comporter par exemple une deuxième rangée
de dents 91c et 91d à l'opposé d'une première rangée de dents 91a et 91b, comme
illustré par la brosse 110 très schématiquement représentée sur la figure 12.The application element can comprise for example a second row
of
L'embase peut présenter une section transversale polygonale, par exemple triangulaire, avec une rangée de dents s'étendant sensiblement dans le prolongement de chaque côté. Cela permet aux cils de venir au contact de l'embase pour se charger en produit au moment de l'application.The base may have a polygonal cross section, for example triangular, with a row of teeth extending substantially in the extension on each side. This allows the eyelashes to come into contact with the base to load in product at the time of application.
A titre d'exemple, on a représenté sur la figure 15 une rangée de dents
93a, 93b, dont les bases 90 s'étendent sensiblement dans le prolongement d'un côté
91 de l'embase, de section triangulaire.By way of example, FIG. 15 shows a row of
En variante, les bases des rangées de dents peuvent s'étendre radialement depuis l'embase.Alternatively, the bases of the rows of teeth may extend radially from the base.
A titre d'exemple, on a représenté sur la figure 16 une brosse 100 ayant
une embase de section triangulaire et trois rangées 101 à 103 de dents dont les bases
sont alignées et dont les portions des dents s'étendant à partir de la base sont alternativement
décalées de chaque côté des bases des dents.By way of example, FIG. 16 shows a
Dans cet exemple, les dents partent des sommets de l'embase, les bases des dents des différentes rangées étant orientées radialement.In this example, the teeth start from the tops of the base, the bases teeth of the different rows being oriented radially.
L'embase peut présenter des arêtes sur lesquelles se raccordent les dents, qui s'étendent hélicoïdalement, avec un pas constant ou variable.The base may have edges on which the teeth are connected, which extend helically, with a constant or variable pitch.
Dans nombre d'exemples de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits, l'embase s'étend sensiblement dans le prolongement de la tige de l'applicateur.In a number of embodiments which have just been described, the base extends substantially in the extension of the applicator rod.
Autrement dit, une extrémité proximale de l'embase est fixée à une partie d'extrémité distale de la tige, et une extrémité distale de l'embase constitue une extrémité libre de l'applicateur.In other words, a proximal end of the base is fixed to a part distal end of the rod, and a distal end of the base constitutes one end free from the applicator.
On a représenté sur les figures 13, 14 et 24 un élément d'application essentiellement en forme de peigne 80 (fig. 13, 14), 240 (fig. 24) dans lequel l'axe longitudinal Z de l'élément d'application s'étend sensiblement perpendiculairement à l'axe X de la tige 84 (fig. 13, 14), 244 (fig. 24) de l'applicateur, laquelle est plate dans les exemples illustrés, et pourrait éventuellement être ajourée en son centre.FIGS. 13, 14 and 24 show an element of application essentially comb-shaped 80 (fig. 13, 14), 240 (fig. 24) in which the longitudinal axis Z of the applicator element extends substantially perpendicular to the axis X of the rod 84 (fig. 13, 14), 244 (fig. 24) of the applicator, which is flat in the examples illustrated, and could possibly be perforated in its center.
Ainsi, une surface latérale de l'élément d'application ou de l'embase entre ses deux extrémités se raccorde a la partie d'extrémité distale de la tige de l'applicateur. Thus, a lateral surface of the application element or of the base between its two ends connect to the distal end part of the applicator rod.
Le peigne 80 comporte deux séries de dents alternées 85a et 85b ayant
des bases 86 sensiblement alignées, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 14.The
Ces dents peuvent être réalisées par moulage de matière plastique d'un
seul tenant avec l'embase 87 puis celle-ci peut être insérée dans un connecteur se présentant
sous la forme d'un logement 81 formé à l'extrémité distale de la tige 84 de
l'applicateur.These teeth can be produced by molding plastic material of a
in one piece with the base 87 then it can be inserted into a connector presenting
in the form of a
On a illustré sur la figure 14 la mise en place du peigne 8() dans le logement
81, qui s'effectue par coulissement selon l'axe Z.Illustrated in Figure 14 the placement of the comb 8 () in the
Le logement 81 définit une fente 82, à l'avant, pour permettre le passage
des bases 86 des dents 85a et 85b.The
Avantageusement, la largeur de cette fente 82 correspond sensiblement à
l'épaisseur des bases 86 des dents, de sorte que le peigne 80 est retenu dans le logement
81 par serrage des bases 86 entre les bords opposés de la fente 82.Advantageously, the width of this
Ce montage permet de réaliser aisément le peigne dans une matière plastique
élastomère et la tige 84 dans une matière plastique rigide ou semi-rigide.This assembly allows the comb to be easily made from a plastic material
elastomer and the
Les figures 19 et 20 représentent diverses configurations de dents de l'élément d'application qui peuvent aider à obtenir des effets d'application recherchés.Figures 19 and 20 show various configurations of the application element that can help achieve desired application effects.
Comme représenté sur la figure 19, les dents 191a, 191b peuvent être
floquées. Ce flocage peut provenir de la matière plastique utilisée pour réaliser les
dents. En outre, bien que non illustré, l'embase peut aussi recevoir un flocage.As shown in FIG. 19, the
Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 20, les dents 201a, 201b peuvent
présenter des portions creuses 202. Ces portions creuses s'étendent de préférence sur
au moins une partie de la longueur des dents et au moins une ouverture 202' sur le
côté des dents permet d'accéder à cette partie creuse. Ces parties creuses peuvent
contenir du produit et donc contribuer au chargement en produit de l'applicateur ainsi
qu'à augmenter la quantité de produit se déposant sur les cils lors de l'application.As can be seen in FIG. 20, the
On a représenté sur les figures 21 et 22 des variantes de mise en oeuvre de l'invention.Figures 21 and 22 show alternative embodiments of the invention.
La figure 21 représente un ensemble d'application dans lequel le produit
est contenu dans un récipient 210 en forme de tube. Ce tube est de préférence réalisé
dans un matériau flexible qui permet de distribuer le produit sur l'élément d'application
lorsqu'il est comprimé.FIG. 21 represents a set of applications in which the product
is contained in a
D'autres distributeurs peuvent aussi être utilisés pour distribuer le produit
sur l'élément d'application, par exemple un distributeur à pompe, sans que l'on sorte
du cadre de la présente invention. L'ensemble d'application représenté sur la figure
22 comporte un récipient 220 contenant un pain solide de produit 225. Ce pain solide
peut être humidifié et l'élément d'application déplacé au contact de la partie humidifiée
du produit pour se charger de produit.Other distributors can also be used to distribute the product
on the application element, for example a pump dispenser, without leaving
of the scope of the present invention. The application set shown in the figure
22 includes a
En variante, l'élément d'application peut être humidifié et déplacé au contact d'une partie non humidifiée.Alternatively, the application element can be moistened and moved to the contact with a non-humidified part.
Dans les exemples de réalisations représentés sur les figures 21 et 22, il n'est pas nécessaire de munir l'extrémité proximale de l'applicateur d'une poignée ou d'un capuchon de fermeture, puisque l'applicateur n'est pas stocké dans le récipient contenant le produit et n'a pas à fermer un tel récipient. En outre, dans ces réalisations, la tige elle-même peut être utilisée comme poignée.In the exemplary embodiments represented in FIGS. 21 and 22, it it is not necessary to provide the proximal end of the applicator with a handle or a closure cap, since the applicator is not stored in the container containing the product and does not have to close such a container. Furthermore, in these realizations, the rod itself can be used as a handle.
La figure 23 représente un applicateur conforme à une variante de mise
en oeuvre de l'invention. L'applicateur représenté sur cette figure comporte une pointe
235 s'étendant à partir de l'embase 233 de l'élément d'application 231.Figure 23 shows an applicator according to a variant of setting
of the invention. The applicator shown in this figure has a
Lorsque l'élément d'application 231 est chargé de produit, la pointe 235
peut également se charger de produit et servir d'eye-liner ou d'élément à insérer entre
des cils isolés.When the application element 231 is loaded with product, the
La figure 24 représente un applicateur similaire à celui décrit en référence
à la figure 13. Cependant, dans l'exemple représenté, l'embase 243 est formée
d'une seule pièce avec la structure réalisée par moulage avec la tige. Les dents 241
peuvent également être réalisées d'un seul tenant avec l'embase 243 et la tige 244.FIG. 24 represents an applicator similar to that described with reference
in Figure 13. However, in the example shown, the
La figure 25 représente un autre exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention
dans lequel l'embase de l'élément d'application est fixée de manière amovible dans un
logement formant connecteur 257, réalisé dans une partie d'extrémité distale de la
tige.FIG. 25 represents another example of implementation of the invention
wherein the base of the application element is removably fixed in a
Ce logement définit une fente dans laquelle l'embase de l'élément d'application peut être engagée. This housing defines a slot in which the base of the application element can be engaged.
A la différence de l'exemple représenté aux figures 13 et 14, une seule
extrémité de l'élément d'application 250 est reliée à l'extrémité distale de la tige.Unlike the example shown in Figures 13 and 14, only one
end of the
Sur la figure 25, l'axe longitudinal de l'élément d'application 251, une
fois ceiui-ci fixé dans le connecteur 257, s'étend à partir de la tige sensiblement dans
la même direction que l'axe longitudinal de la tige.In FIG. 25, the longitudinal axis of the application element 251, a
once fixed in
Les figures 28 et 28A représentent un exemple de dents consécutives sur
un élément d'application 281, dans lequel les bases 289a et 289b sont sensiblement
alignées au sens de la présente invention.Figures 28 and 28A show an example of consecutive teeth on
an
Ainsi, comme on peut le voir plus clairement sur la figure 28A, les bases
289a et 289b se chevauchent légèrement d'une distance r lorsque l'élément d'application
est observé selon son axe longitudinal et sont considérées comme étant sensiblement
alignées.Thus, as can be seen more clearly in Figure 28A, the
La figure 29 représente un exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention dans
lequel les dents 292a et 292b ont des bases 299 ayant des parties élargies s'étendant
dans des directions sensiblement perpendiculaires à l'axe longitudinal des parties des
dents s'étendant à partir des bases.FIG. 29 represents an example of implementation of the invention in
which
Ainsi, des dents consécutives ont des parties s'étendant à partir des bases des dents s'étendant alternativement depuis des côtés opposés des bases des dents, c'est-à-dire alternativement depuis un côté gauche des bases et un côté droit des bases lorsque l'élément d'application est observé selon son axe longitudinal.So, consecutive teeth have parts extending from the bases teeth extending alternately from opposite sides of the bases of the teeth, that is to say alternately from a left side of the bases and a right side of the bases when the application element is observed along its longitudinal axis.
La figure 30 représente un applicateur dans lequel l'élément d'application
331, incluant une embase 333, est généralement flexible, ce qui lui permet de se déformer
par rapport à la tige lors de l'application du produit.FIG. 30 represents an applicator in which the
On peut voir sur la figure 30 que la surface de l'embase sur laquelle se raccordent les dents est convexe.We can see in Figure 30 that the surface of the base on which connect the teeth is convex.
Cette forme convexe amène les dents adjacentes à diverger, permettant ainsi à une quantité relativement importante de produit de se loger entre les dents.This convex shape causes the adjacent teeth to diverge, allowing thus a relatively large amount of product is lodged between the teeth.
En outre, l'applicateur de la figure 30 peut permettre d'améliorer le chargement en produit lorsque l'applicateur est extrait au travers d'un organe d'essorage, car ce dernier exerce une force tendant à redresser l'élément d'application et à rapprocher les dents vers une région centrale (vers la mi-longueur) de l'élément d'application. In addition, the applicator of Figure 30 can improve the loading in product when the applicator is extracted through a wiping member, because the latter exerts a force tending to straighten the application element and to bring the teeth towards a central region (towards the mid-length) of the application element.
Lorsque les dents se rapprochent, le produit peut être chassé entre les dents vers l'embase, permettant à l'élément d'application de contenir une quantité relativement élevée de produit.When the teeth come together, the product can be chased between the teeth toward the base, allowing the application member to hold a relatively small amount high product.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits.Of course, the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments which have just been described.
On peut notamment réaliser d'autres formes de dents, les dents n'ayant pas toutes à avoir la même forme.It is possible in particular to produce other forms of teeth, the teeth not having not all have the same shape.
D'une manière générale, on peut combiner entre elles les particularités de réalisation de chacun des exemples donnés, en fonction du type de maquillage recherché.In general, we can combine the features of realization of each of the examples given, depending on the type of makeup sought.
En particulier, l'élément d'application peut comporter une succession de dents comportant une première et une deuxième série de dents disposées en alternance, les dents de la première série ayant une forme différente des dents de la deuxième série.In particular, the application element may include a succession of teeth comprising a first and a second series of teeth arranged alternately, the teeth of the first series having a shape different from the teeth of the second series.
L'une des séries de dents peut être composée elle-même de dents ayant des formes différentes, voire des hauteurs différentes.One of the sets of teeth can itself be composed of teeth having different shapes, even different heights.
Les dents peuvent présenter une hauteur qui varie en fonction du positionnement axial sur l'élément d'application, par exemple une hauteur croissante, décroissante, décroissante puis croissante ou croissante puis décroissante, de l'avant vers l'arrière.The teeth may have a height which varies according to the positioning axial on the application element, for example an increasing, decreasing height, decreasing then increasing or increasing then decreasing, from the front rearward.
Les dents peuvent présenter un état de surface permettant d'accroítre la quantité de produit dont se charge l'élément d'application; les dents et/ou l'embase peuvent ainsi comporter des rainures capillaires ou un flocage, sur toute ou partie de leur surface.The teeth may have a surface condition making it possible to increase the quantity of product taken care of by the application element; teeth and / or base may thus include capillary grooves or flocking, on all or part of their surface.
Les dents peuvent être recouvertes d'un revêtement tel qu'un vernis ou du PTFE par exemple, destiné à leur conférer un meilleur glissement sur les cils ou au contraire plus de rugosité.The teeth can be covered with a coating such as varnish or PTFE for example, intended to give them better sliding on the eyelashes or on the contrary, more roughness.
Des agents de glissement peuvent être incorporés à la matière plastique servant à réaliser les dents.Slip agents can be incorporated into the plastic used to make the teeth.
L'élément d'application, et plus particulièrement les dents, peut également comporter des actifs tels que par exemple des conservateurs, des absorbeurs d'humidité, des sels métalliques, notamment des sels de cuivre, des particules magnétiques, et d'autres matériaux similaires appropriés, destinés à être libérés dans le produit lorsque ce dernier est déposé sur l'élément d'application.The application element, and more particularly the teeth, can also contain assets such as, for example, preservatives, absorbers moisture, metal salts, especially copper salts, magnetic particles, and other suitable similar materials intended for release into the produced when the latter is deposited on the application element.
Ces actifs peuvent être soit inclus dans le matériau utilisé pour réaliser l'élément d'application, soit déposés sous la forme d'un revêtement sur l'élément d'application, soit les deux.These assets can either be included in the material used to make the application element, either deposited as a coating on the element application, or both.
En outre, des produits qui modifient la tension de surface de l'élément d'application au contact de l'humidité peuvent être incorporés dans les dents ou revêtir ces dernières.In addition, products which modify the surface tension of the element application in contact with moisture can be incorporated into the teeth or coated these last.
Les dents peuvent subir un traitement de surface par abrasion, pour former par exemple des fourches à leur extrémité libre.Teeth can undergo surface treatment by abrasion, to form for example forks at their free end.
Les dents peuvent subir un traitement à chaud pour arrondir par exemple leur pointe, voire former une boule à leur extrémité libre. Les dents deviennent ainsi moins agressives vis-à-vis des cils.Teeth can undergo a heat treatment to round for example their tip, even forming a ball at their free end. The teeth become so less aggressive towards the eyelashes.
L'élément d'application est réalisé de préférence par injection de matière plastique, mais en variante on peut utiliser des procédés de conformation de matière par compression, estampage ou décolletage.The application element is preferably produced by injecting material plastic, but alternatively we can use material conformation processes by compression, stamping or bar turning.
L'embase peut comporter des gorges ou reliefs permettant par exemple de loger du produit.The base may include grooves or reliefs allowing for example to house product.
Dans chacune des réalisations décrites, la longueur d'une rangée de dents consécutives est comprise de préférence entre environ 10 mm et environ 45 mm, et de préférence encore entre environ 15 mm et environ 28 mm, et de préférence encore entre 20 mm et environ 26 mm.In each of the embodiments described, the length of a row of teeth consecutive is preferably between approximately 10 mm and approximately 45 mm, and more preferably between about 15 mm and about 28 mm, and more preferably between 20 mm and about 26 mm.
La longueur de chaque dent est comprise de préférence entre 0,5 mm et 15 mm environ, et de préférence encore entre environ 7 mm et environ 13 mm.The length of each tooth is preferably between 0.5 mm and Approximately 15 mm, and more preferably between approximately 7 mm and approximately 13 mm.
Le nombre de dents dans une rangée consécutive est compris de préférence entre 6 et 50, et de préférence encore entre 1() et 35, et de préférence encore entre 15 et 32 environ.The number of teeth in a consecutive row is preferably understood between 6 and 50, and more preferably between 1 () and 35, and more preferably between 15 and 32 approximately.
