Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for applying a product to keratinous fibers, in particular eyelashes, eyebrows, mustaches or hair.
  • a device for applying a product of make-up on such fibers, in particular mascara on the eyelashes or eyebrows, and / or a care product.
  • the present invention is directed in particular to brushes commonly referred to "twisted brushes" and which are obtained by arranging a sheet of hair between the two branches of a wire configured as a hairpin, then twisted the two branches of the wire around its axis.
  • the twisted wire thus forms a helix (actually, one for each strand of wire) whose turns, in depending on the direction of twisting of the wire, rise from left to right (when the brush is viewed from the front in a vertical position) or from the right to the left.
  • the first type of twisting makes it possible to obtain a qualified brush sometimes "left brush".
  • Such a brush is described in particular in the patent EP 0 611 170 in the name of the applicant.
  • the second type of twisting provides a brush called "straight brush".
  • Such twisted brushes comprise a "empoilée” part defining a application portion, extending by an "unstripped” part of the wire, sometimes called “tail” of the brush, and used in particular for fixing the device on a rod connected in particular to an organ for gripping the device.
  • the present invention also relates to application devices obtained by molding of thermoplastic materials such as polyethylenes or polypropylenes. Such molded devices also include a "tail" for fixing the device on a rod. Such devices can also be obtained by machining, casting, stamping. Materials other than Thermoplastic materials can be used.
  • the patent application FR-A-2 715 038 describes a structure with one or more faces cut.
  • the structure comprises a single cut face, parallel or not to the axis of the tail of the brush.
  • Such a face cut can extend over a major part of the brush, which brushes ends with a truncated cone end portion, not defining no face delimited by two longitudinal edges.
  • the brush comprises two cut faces parallel to the axis of the tail of the brush.
  • the resulting structure is relatively symmetrical around the axis of the tail of the brush, which, therefore, does not solve the difficulties mentioned above.
  • the patent application FR 2 605 505 describes a twisted brush, which has been the subject of a series of cutting operations so as to delimit a plurality of faces, which are either parallel to the axis of the tail of the brush, or all inclined in the same direction, especially towards a free end of the brush.
  • the structure thus formed is symmetrical around the axis of the tail of the brush.
  • the brush described in this document comprises a row of teeth whose free end forms a beveled edge, and intended for combing the eyelashes, the other teeth being oriented radially around a portion of the axis of the brush, and used for the application of the product.
  • the charge profile in product because of of the brush configuration, is relatively binary, and by no means progressive. Only teeth oriented radially on an angular portion of the brush, can be used effectively for the application of the product.
