Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a brush for applying a product. cosmetic or care on keratin fibers, in particular for applying mascara on the eyelashes.
  • the invention also relates to a makeup device comprising such a brush.
  • the free ends of the bristles define an envelope surface, which can take many forms.
  • EP-A-0 663 161 describes a brush having a straight core and on its lateral faces notches concave towards the outside. Edges of these notches belong to an envelope surface having the general shape of two trunks of cone joined by their base.
  • a brush having a non-rectilinear core, extending in a plane of curvature.
  • the surface brush envelope has at least part of its length a section transverse of elongated shape along an axis of greater length, parallel to the plane of curvature.
  • the two halves of the brush located on either side of the plane of curvature are symmetrical with respect to the latter.
  • US Patent 5,937,870 describes a brush which has a cross section transverse elongated over at least part of its length. This brush has two halves symmetrical about the plane of curvature of the core.
  • US Patent 5,876,138 describes a brush with a rectilinear core having a shape general fish.
  • Patent application DE-A-42 05935 describes a brush with a curved core, of constant, circular cross-section.
  • the object of the present invention is to further improve the existing brushes and the quality of the makeup obtained, in particular in terms of product loading, elongation, bending, penetration of the hairs into the eyelashes and separation of these latter.
  • this brush is characterized in that it has a cross section which varies over at least a portion of the length of the brush non-homothetic manner, said section being, at at least one point of the core, not symmetrical about a plane perpendicular to the plane of curvature of the core in this point.
  • the cross section of the core may be non-symmetrical with respect to the plane perpendicular to the plane of curvature of the core at any point of a portion of the core extending along the part of the brush whose cross section varies so not homothetic.
  • the new brush according to the invention makes it possible to obtain a quality of very satisfactory makeup, thanks to the fact that it has faces having shapes different, which, combined with the fact that the core is curved, allows when the brush is rotated on itself around the axis of the rod, to get a good grip in charge of eyelashes.
  • the geometry of the brush also makes it possible to obtain a non-wringing uniform, leading to areas unevenly loaded with product.
  • the area defined by the free ends of the bristles of the brush, if the core is straightened and made straight for the purposes of observation, is not symmetrical revolution.
  • the axis of the core and the axis of the rod always form an angle of less than 90 °.
  • the brush has at least three faces side having different shapes from each other.
  • a brush according to the invention makes it possible to multiply the effects exerted by the hairs on the eyelashes, the action of a given face of the brush being different from the action of a face of different shape.
  • the brush may present, if the core is straightened and made straight for the needs of observation, a portion for example cylindrical or frustoconical, generally of the same axis as the core and provided with at least one notch whose width for example goes through a maximum when we move along the soul. So the brush may have a cross section over at least a portion of its length which varies, due to the presence of the notch, in a relatively non-homothetic manner to the soul.
  • the brush may in particular present, if the core is straightened and rendered straight for the purposes of observation, a concave notch, of directed concavity in a direction substantially perpendicular to the core.
  • a concave notch can be cylindrical, generatrix perpendicular to the axis of the straightened core.
  • the brush shell surface at the notch is a cylindrical surface, i.e. generated by the displacement parallel to itself of a director following the direction of a generator.
  • This director can be a portion of a circle, ellipse or any other curved line.
  • curve is meant “not straight”, so that a broken line is a curved line within the meaning of the present invention.
  • the notch can still present, when observed in a plane of cross section to the core, a concave outward shape.
  • the number of notches on the brush after straightening the core in order to making rectilinear for the purposes of observation is for example odd, being equal to three, five or seven for example.
  • the brush presents, once the core is straightened and made straight for observation purposes, at least four sides lateral, two of which are substantially planar and adjacent and two others are non-planar.
  • the brush may in particular include, in a particular embodiment, a substantially square or rectangular cross section with, after straightening the soul to make it rectilinear for the needs of observation, two flat faces adjacent and two other adjacent faces concave outward.
  • the brush may still have, in another embodiment, after that the soul has been straightened and made straight for the purposes of observation, a general shape of peanut with at least one substantially planar facet on one side of the brush.
  • the brush can thus present, in a particular embodiment, when the core has been straightened and straightened for the purposes of observation, a general form peanut with at least three substantially planar facets arranged in a triangle around the axis of the soul.
  • At least one of the facets may for example have become non-planar due to the curvature given to the soul.
  • the core is offset on at least one part the length of the brush.
  • the brush can be produced from a symmetrical rough outline of revolution or not, having a general form of shell, diabolo, peanut, buoy, fish or rugby ball.
  • the brush can be produced from a blank which has a generally symmetrical shape of revolution with a cross section which passes through at least one extremum between the two axial ends of the brush, this extremum can be located somewhere other than mid-length of the brush and consist of a maximum or a minimum.
  • the brush can be produced from a blank having a symmetrical shape of revolution and a cross section whose diameter goes through a maximum in the first half of the length of the brush from its free end and a minimum in the second half of the length of the brush. This is particularly the case when the blank has a general form of fish.
  • the cross section of the brush may also have notches at its periphery.
  • the core can be a twisted core, with steps to the left or to the right, for example at not to the left as described in French patent application FR-A-2 701 198.
  • the branches of the core are twisted in turning to the left to form turns which, seen along the axis of the soul from the end fixed in the rod, rotate clockwise as you progress from the rod towards the free end of the brush.
  • the core is advantageously curved, when the brush is to the left, so as to reduce the inclination of the helical layers formed by the bristles with respect to to the axis of the rod as one moves away from the rod, which improves separation of the eyelashes at the ends of the eyelid, increasing the angle between the eyelashes and said layers.
  • the curvature of the core can also allow to modify the orientation of the plies of hair in order to obtain the desired result for the makeup.
  • the core can be produced other than by twisting two branches of a wire metallic, the bristles being able to be implanted or molded on other supports.
  • the hairs can be natural or synthetic, and their ends can undergo any known type of treatment, for example to form rounded heads or forks.
  • the brush may include bristles of different lengths, in particular short hairs contained in the volume delimited by the envelope surface defined by the large hairs.
  • the axis of the brush can make an angle close to the rod.
  • the core can be bent in the vicinity of the part implanted in the rod.
  • the invention is not limited to a brush whose core is curved around a single axis.
  • the core can be curved at least around two axes not parallel to each other.
  • the axis of the soul is not entirely contained in a single plane of curvature.
  • the axes around which the soul is curved can extend in directions perpendicular or not, and being intersecting or not.
  • the brush can flex when the wiper passes and from this crossed, resume an initial configuration by performing a transverse movement which may have the effect of shearing any drop of product present at the end of the brush. This reduces the risk of a drop of product at the free end of the brush, such a drop being liable to be troublesome during application.
  • the core of the brush may have a non-constant curvature, with for example example a portion of the straight or substantially straight core and a curved portion.
  • Another object of the invention is a brush. for the application of a product to keratin fibers, comprising a non-core straight supporting bristles over at least part of its length, this brush which can be characterized by the fact that it presents, in at least a first point, a cross section centered on the core and, at least at a second point, a cross section transverse not centered on the core.
  • the first point can correspond for example to the end of the brush adjacent to a rod on which the core is fixed, or to the free end of the brush.
  • the core can thus be curved so as to make a concave or convex initially substantially straight edge or vice versa.
  • the soul can be curved according to a plane of curvature containing said edge.
  • the core can also be curved so as to make it concave or convex an initially flat face.
  • the soul can be curved according to a plane of curvature perpendicular to said initially planar face.
  • the core can also be curved so as to make a face plane initially concave or convex or to invert its concavity.
  • the soul can in particular be curved in a plane of curvature which constitutes a median plane of symmetry for said face and which contains the axis of the core.
  • the blank used to make the starting brush of step a) above can present a cylindrical form of revolution, a form of diabolo, peanut, buoy with two trunks of cone joined by their base, shell, fish or balloon rugby.
  • the core can be bent a second time, around an axis of bending not parallel to the axis around which the core was bent for the first time in step b1) or b2).
  • the invention also relates to a brush obtained by means of such a process.
  • the invention also relates to a makeup device comprising a brush as defined above.
  • Such a makeup device may in particular comprise a container containing a reserve of product, for example mascara, an applicator provided with a end of a gripper and at the other end of the brush, this applicator can preferably be fixed tightly on the container, when screwing the gripping member on the container for example, the brush being able to plunge into the product, preferably liquid, contained in the container, the latter being additionally provided of a wringer.
