  • the teeth are relatively wide apart, the spacing between two successive teeth being clearly greater than the diameter of an eyelash.
  • EP-A-0 474 934 discloses a brush comprising several rows of radially oriented elements, said rows being offset axially with respect to each other.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a new device for conditioning and application of a product on the eyelashes or the eyebrows which is capable to grip the eyelashes satisfactorily, while making it possible to constitute relatively large product reserves.
  • the application element comprises at least a row of teeth arranged alternately on both sides, turned in directions substantially opposite, of a soul.
  • the core can be used in some kind of framework and hold the teeth on the application element.
  • the application element according to the invention can make it possible to constitute reserves of product between the teeth while allowing to smooth the product deposited on the eyelashes and to separate and / or lengthen them.
  • the geometrical configuration of the teeth, and in particular the spacing between consecutive teeth, also allows for possibly contained fibers in the product to align substantially, so as to become substantially parallel to the eyelashes when the product is applied.
  • a gap may be formed between the upper parts of at least two consecutive teeth.
  • This gap can be arranged to prevent the eyelashes from reaching the soul.
  • the bottom of such a gap may be located at a distance from the upper core or equal to 0.2 mm for example.
  • the gap can be arranged to allow the eyelashes to reach blade.
  • the gap has the form of a notch and in one embodiment particular, the upper parts of the teeth form notches between them.
  • At least two consecutive teeth may have portions, in particular bases, substantially contiguous.
  • substantially contiguous should be understood as meaning that the portions in question of the consecutive teeth do not necessarily overlap when viewed from one side of the application element, but are close enough to each other to prevent the free movement of an inserted eyelash between consecutive teeth in a plane substantially perpendicular to the axis longitudinal of the application element.
  • the substantially contiguous portions in particular the bases, can be close enough to prevent an eyelash from passing through them.
  • the teeth extend over substantially the entire height of the application element.

  • the cross section of the core can represent less than about half of the total cross section of the application element.
  • the device comprises first and second consecutive teeth having bases arranged such that a portion of the base of the first tooth has the same axial position along the applicator element than a portion of the base of the second tooth.

  • the teeth then have good mechanical strength. against the forces exerted by the eyelashes during application.
  • the ratio b / e is for example higher or equal to 1.2, or even greater than or equal to approximately 1.4, b being the depth of the base of a tooth and its width.
  • the teeth can have a depth which varies according to the positioning axial along the axis of the base.
  • the teeth can thus have an increasing, decreasing depth, increasing then decreasing or vice versa, from front to back.
  • the application element can be produced at a relatively low cost, by molding, in particular of plastic.
  • the teeth are advantageously produced by molding in one piece with the core, preferably plastic.
  • the application element may consist of an insert on the applicator rod.
  • the application element can in particular be detachably attached on the applicator rod.
  • the application element may alternatively be produced by molding, in particular of plastic, in one piece with the stem of the applicator.
  • 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 member sealing may have a shaped surface to adjust so waterproof in a container neck.
  • the consecutive teeth are advantageously arranged alternately on either side of a geometric separation surface, which can be a plane, advantageously a median plane for the soul.
  • This geometric separation surface is advantageously a plane of joint for molding the application element.
  • the geometric separation surface can also be a cylindrical surface whose directrix is a curve or a broken line.

  • the geometric separation surface can thus be a helical surface, for example.
  • the teeth may have an upper part which extends without contact with the adjacent teeth at a relatively low height from their top, for example on a height less than half their total height.
  • the ratio b / c is for example greater than or equal to 1.2, or even greater than or equal to 1.4, b being the depth of the base of a tooth and c the interval between two successive teeth offset on the same side of said geometric separation surface.
  • the ratio of the spacing between adjacent teeth of the same side of the web the width of a tooth, both measured at the level of the teeth above of the upper surface of the core (preferably mid-length of the teeth) is for example between 0.2 and 2 approximately.
  • the applicator element can be made of a plastic material more flexible than that used to make the applicator rod, for example an elastomer, which provides more comfort in use.
  • the rod of the applicator can be made of a material plastic less hard than that used to make the application element.
  • a material plastic less hard 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.

  • a flexible applicator is shown in Figure 32.
  • the applicator element 321 in FIG. 32 has a base 323 which has a curved longitudinal axis with a convex surface on which the teeth 322 are arranged.
  • This convex surface causes the teeth to diverge, thus allowing a relatively large amount of product getting lodged between adjacent teeth and consecutive.
  • the applicator shown in Figure 32 can provide improved loading of the teeth with the product when the application element is removed through a wiper member because the force exerted by the wiper member on the application element tends to make it rectilinear and causes the teeth to approach, especially towards a middle portion (mid-length) of the application element.
