Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an applicator assembly as used in particular in the field of cosmetics, for the conditioning and application of certain make-up or care products, such as eyeshadows, blushes, lipsticks, mascaras or foundations.
  • make-up products are applied, either by means of an applicator, either directly with your fingers.
  • the applicator due to its relatively small dimensions, is sometimes difficult to find, especially in a handbag. In addition, it must be protected from dust or other dirt present in the handbag. Conversely, the applicator, on which it always remains of the residual product, must not soil the contents of the handbag. For all these reasons, the applicator is often protected inside a compartment, i.e. separate, either as part of a product packaging unit to apply, in particular from a box. In the latter case, in order not to increase disproportionately the size of the case, the applicator is often of dimensions very small, which makes handling very difficult.
  • US Patent 3,760,820 describes an applicator assembly for a makeup product comprising a first part delimiting a first housing for receiving a product to apply.
  • the first housing has an opening, opposite to a bottom, and extending substantially in one plane.
  • the first part includes also a second housing for, in the assembled position of said first and second parts, receive an application body.
  • the applicator assembly further comprises a second part comprising, at the end of a handle, said enforcement body. In the assembled position, the handle covers the opening of the first housing, and the applicator member is disposed in the second housing on the same side of the plan as the first dwelling.
  • the user Upon opening, the user must first separate the parts forming one from the other. the outer case so as to be able to access the handle of the brush arranged at inside the case. Then, by the handle of the brush, the user extracts this last of its housing so as to release a pivoting cover covering the housing containing the eyeshadow. Finally, she opens the lid and takes the product out using the brush applicator. Again, the gestures are complicated. The risks, so that the part of the case to be removed for application is lost, are not negligible.
  • the configuration according to the invention makes it possible to realize a set for which, at least in its simplest version, of a single and same gesture, it is possible on the one hand to take in hand the applicator, and on the other hand to have access to the product contained in the housing formed by the first part.
  • the number of pieces required is limited compared to the sets conventional, in particular compared to that described in patent FR 1 020 647 mentioned above. Therefore, the device is more economical to produce, and more robust, while maintaining an aesthetic compatible with the requirements fields such as cosmetics, and in particular make-up.
  • a section of the handle along a plane parallel to the plane of the first opening is greater than or equal to the section of the latter, so the handle can be superimposed on the first opening over the entire section of the latter.
  • the handle can protect from the outside, either the product when it directly covers the first opening, a mirror interposed between the first opening and the handle, so as to protect it the entire reflective surface against any stains not to deposit there if it was not protected, or both in case the mirror and opening are not superimposed.
  • Such a mirror greatly facilitates the operations of applying products such as makeup products.
  • the mirror may be able to occupy a position in which it covers at least partly the first opening and is movable relative to the first part, in particular according to a sliding movement, or around an axis perpendicular to the plane of the opening or parallel to it.
  • the mirror in the assembled position of said first and second parts, covers the entire first opening.
  • it can participate, in combination with the handle, in ensuring better closure quality of the housing containing the product to be applied, and therefore better protection of the latter.
  • the mirror is fixedly mounted on the first part, next to said first opening, in particular around all or part of the first opening.
  • the handle sealingly seals said first opening, a mirror being, if necessary, placed next to the first opening.
  • sealing means in particular of the lip (s) or seal (s) type, can be used in combination with the handle to improve the water resistance closing.
  • the applicator assembly is of longitudinal axis X, said first and second housing extending offset, preferably integrally, with respect to said X axis.
  • This characteristic makes it possible to confer on the applicator a size, in particular a length, sufficient to obtain handling thereof easy and precise.
  • the first part can be formed from a single piece obtained from molding, in particular by gas injection. This is also the case for the second part.
  • the material used can be ABS (Acrylobutadiene Styrene), SAN (acrylonitrile polystyrene), a PS (polystyrene). Still other materials can be used according to the invention.
  • the applicator member is preferably fixed axially relative to the handle. Thus, the applicator is immediately ready to apply the product, without requiring prior maneuver.
  • Means in particular of slide type (s), can provide guidance according to a relative sliding movement of one of the parts with respect to the other.
  • Such means can facilitate the assembly operation of said first and second parts.
  • all or part of the edge of the housing intended for receive the applicator can participate in guiding the latter in its sliding movement.
  • the guide means can also provide reversible locking, in particular by tightening, of said first and second parts in assembled position.
  • the reversible locking of the first and second parts can be ensured by snap-fastening or clamping.
  • the whole in the assembled position of the two parts, the whole forms a cylinder whose section is notably circular, hexagonal, square, oval or rectangular.
  • a set including the aesthetic is relatively different from that authorized by the boxes classic powders or eyeshadows, and is closer to that meeting for product application sets such as mascaras, lipsticks or eyeliners.
  • the applicator member may consist of a block of open cell foam, semi-open, or closed, felt, sintered, especially ceramic or thermoplastic, or an arrangement of bristles, in particular in the form of a tuft substantially parallel to the axis of the handle.
  • the product can be contained inside a dish placed inside the first accommodation.
  • the cup can be removable so as to make the whole rechargeable.
  • the cup can be removable, and fixed by example by gluing or welding.
  • the product can be placed directly in the accommodation reserved for it.
  • each housing being intended for example to receive a product of a color which is clean.
  • the surface of the product may coincide with the plan of the opening.
  • the free surface of the product can be curved, so as to facilitate removal.
  • the surface corresponding handle can be hollowed out appropriately to accommodate such a "bulge”.
  • the applicator assembly according to the invention may further comprise a second applicator, in particular a makeup pencil.
  • a second organ application may be integral with the first part, and be arranged so to, in the assembled position of said first and second parts, be housed in a housing formed by the second part.
  • the product contained in the housing (s) may be in the form of a solid loaf or semi solid.
  • a solid block can be installed in the housing directly in its solid form.
  • the product can be poured hot or cold in the housing, and take its solid form after solidification or freezing of the composition.
  • Products packaged in the form of such solid bread may be an eyeshadow, a foundation, a blush, or a mascara.
  • the product may be in the form of a paste.
  • the device 1 according to the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2A-2C comprises a bottom 2 and a cover 20.
  • the two parts are made of ABS.
  • the bottom 2 has a first portion, extending over about half the length axial of the device 1, and forming a half cylinder in which is formed a compartment 4.
  • a cup 5 is arranged in plastic, containing a solid block of eyeshadow.
  • Housing 4 opens in the cut plane 6 of the half-cylinder via a first opening 7 of section substantially identical to the section of compartment 4.
  • the cup 5 can be held by snap inside compartment 4.
  • a mirror 9 of dimensions slightly larger than the dimensions of the cup 5 so as to substantially coincide with the opening 7.
  • the bottom 2 ends in a axial hook 10 able to cooperate by reversible snap-fastening with a housing 21 of corresponding shape formed in a cylindrical end portion 22 of the cover 20.
  • the other axial half of the bottom 2 forms above the cut plane 6 a housing hemispherical 11 extending over substantially the entire length of said other axial half of the bottom 2.
  • the housing 11 is closed at its end opposite to the housing 4, and open at its other end, the opening 12 of the housing 11 being oriented in a plane substantially perpendicular to the cut plane 6 in which opens the housing 4.
  • the cover 20 comprises a portion 26, adjacent to the end portion 22, and forming a half-cylinder complementary to the half-cylinder formed by the bottom 2.
  • the half-cylinder 26 ends with a portion of smaller section 23, opposite the end portion 22, so as to be inserted slightly tightly at inside the edge delimiting the opening 12 of the housing 11 formed by the bottom 2.
  • the cover 20 carries a member application 24, in the form of a block of foam, formed at the end of a rod 25.
  • the applicator member 24 and the rod 25 are intended, in position assembly of the bottom 2 and the cover 20, as shown in FIG. 2A, at fit into the housing 11 at the bottom 2.
  • the application member 24 is in the housing 11 of the bottom 2, above the cut plane 6.
  • the applicator assembly 1 substantially forms a cylinder of revolution one end of which ends in a rounded portion.
  • the user exerts a relative pulling movement of the cover 20 relative to the bottom 2, so as to cause disengagement by sliding along the X axis mutual attachment means 10 and 21.
  • the application member 24 is extracted from the housing 11, and the mirror 9 covering the housing 4, released.
  • the consumer then rotates the mirror 9 around the axis 8 so as to release the free surface of the product contained in the housing 4.
  • the portion 26 of the cover 20 used in the manner of a handle, the consumer draws product from cup 5 by means of the applicator member 24. She applies it to the surface to be treated so conventional.
  • FIG. 3 differs from the embodiment previous in that the lateral edges of the bottom 2 form a slide 16 in which is guided in translation a corresponding part 29 formed by the side edges of the handle 26.
  • the sliding movement is guided sufficiently tightly by the sliding arrangement 16, 29, so that it is not necessary to provide other additional locking means.
  • the operation of the applicator assembly according to this embodiment is similar to that of the previous embodiments, except that the application by means of the applicator member 24 can be replaced or supplemented by a application on the same or different surface, using the second applicator 13.
