Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a brush for applying a cosmetic or care product to keratinous fibers, in particular for applying mascara to the eyelashes.
  • the invention also relates to a makeup device comprising such a brush.
  • brushes formed by the helically winding of two branches of a wire around tufts of bristles extending radially from the core, these branches being fixed in a rod made of plastic, integral with a closure cap of the container containing the product to be applied.
  • the free ends of the bristles define an envelope surface, which may have multiple shapes.
  • a brush having a non-rectilinear core, extending in a plane of curvature.
  • the envelope surface of the brush has on at least part of its length a cross section of elongated shape along an axis of greater length, parallel to the plane of curvature.
  • the two halves of the envelope surface of the brush located on either side of the plane of curvature are symmetrical with respect to the latter.
  • the U.S. Patent 5,937,870 discloses a brush having a cross section defined by the bristles, having an elongated shape over at least a part of its length. This brush has an envelope surface having two halves symmetrical with respect to the curvature plane of the core.
  • the U.S. Patent 5,876,138 describes a rectilinear soul brush having a general shape of fish.
  • FR-A-2 798 276 which is an intercalated document, describes a device comprising a curved core brush whose free end is not in alignment with the rod, in order to improve the sampling of the product.
  • the brush has a cross section that varies monotonically from the end of the brush connected to the rod towards its free end.
  • the present invention aims to further improve the existing brushes and the quality of the makeup obtained, especially in terms of product loading, elongation, bending, penetration of the hairs in the eyelashes and separation of the latter.
  • the cross-section defined by the bristles of the brush may vary non-monotonically from one end of the brush to the other.
  • non-monotonically varying cross-section it should be understood that the cross-section of the brush is not constant over the entire length of the brush and does not vary in a strictly increasing or strictly decreasing manner at one end of the brush. brush to another.
  • the fact that, in a brush according to the invention, the cross section defined by the bristles varies in a non-monotonic manner may be due for example to the shape of the blank from which the brush is made, this blank being able for example have an extreme diameter distance from each end of the brush, or the presence of one or more notches, among others.
  • the brush is made from a rectilinear blank, the emptied portion having a non-symmetrical envelope surface with respect to a median plane perpendicular to the core, the blank having a non-rectilinear edge when it is observed in profile in a direction perpendicular to the core, this edge having been at least partially rectified by the curvature given to the core of the blank during the manufacture of the brush.
  • the new brush according to the invention makes it possible to obtain a very satisfactory makeup quality, thanks to the fact that the core is curved and that it has, when viewed from the side in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the rod, a profile that varies when it is rotated about the axis of the rod.
  • the brush makes it possible to obtain good care of the eyelashes and also makes it possible to obtain a non-uniform wringing, leading to areas that are unequally laden with product.
  • the user may have on the brush a larger amount of product for adding locally on the eyelashes of the product if it is necessary during makeup, without having to plunge the brush into the container, and d on the other hand hairs little loaded product, can advantageously be used to separate the eyelashes, including small eyelashes at the end of the eyelid.
  • the curvature is non-constant.
  • the fact that the curvature is non-constant over the length of the brush means that the radius of curvature (which may be infinite) is not the same at least at two different points along the brush.
  • the brush may thus comprise a greater curvature on the side of its free end than on the side of the rod for example, or may comprise a rectilinear or substantially rectilinear portion and a curved portion, which is particularly the case when the core of the brush has a rectilinear portion engaged in the rod and the bristles are supported by a curvilinear portion, of constant curvature or not.
  • the cross section of the brush according to the invention passes through at least one extremum between its two axial ends.
  • This extremum may be a maximum or a minimum and the cross section of the brush may in particular pass through a maximum and a minimum between its two axial ends, which is the case especially when the blank from which the brush is made presents a general form of fish.
  • the blank has an envelope surface having a symmetrical shape of revolution.
  • the blank used to make the brush according to the invention may also not have an envelope surface having a symmetrical shape of revolution but simply an axial symmetry with respect to the axis of the core, for example.
  • the cross section of the envelope surface of the blank may have a shape varying over at least a part of the length of the brush, for example over third of its length, homothetically.
  • one of the sections is an enlargement of the other, that is to say that the ratio dimensions from one section to the other is constant regardless of the orientation around the axis of the soul.
  • the core of the blank may be bent at least about an axis extending out of the median plane of the blank.
  • An edge of the blank which is made more rectilinear due to the curvature given to the core may be located in the distal or proximal portion of the brush, that is to say in the first or second half of the length of the brush from its free end.
  • the aforementioned non-rectilinear edge of the blank may be located substantially in the first or the last third of the brush, from its free end.
  • This non-rectilinear edge may be concave outwardly or alternatively convex outwardly. When the non-rectilinear edge is concave towards the outside, it is for example substantially in the last third of the brush. This is particularly the case when the blank has a general shape of fish. When the non-rectilinear edge is convex outwards, it is for example in the first third of the brush. This is particularly the case when the blank has a general shape of shell or buoy.
  • the non-rectilinear edge of the blank is at least partially defined by a distal end portion of ogival shape of the brush, the body of the brush having a frustoconical shape with a cross section decreasing from this part of the brush. distal end, over at least a portion of the length of the brush, towards the rod to which the core is connected.
  • the non-rectilinear edge of the blank is defined by the area surrounding the junction between a distal end portion of the brush, frustoconical in shape, converging towards the free end of the brush and the body of the brush.

  • the brush being made from a blank having the shape of a diabolo, the non-rectilinear edge of the blank is defined by the angle entering at the junction of the two truncated cones.
  • the non-rectilinear edge of the blank is advantageously deformed, following the curvature given to the core, so as to be located at least partially and substantially in the axis of the adjacent edge of the body of the brush, when the latter is observed in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the rod.
  • the soul can be a twisted soul, stepping left or right, especially left footstep as described in the application for French patent FR-A-2 701 198 .
  • the branches of the core are twisted by turning to the left to form turns which, viewed along the axis of the core from the end fixed in the stem, rotate clockwise when we move from the stem to the free end of the brush.
  • the core is advantageously curved, when the brush is stepping to the left, so as to reduce the inclination of the helical layers formed by the bristles relative to the axis of the rod as and when it is away from the stem, which improves the separation of the eyelashes at the ends of the eyelid, increasing the angle between the eyelashes and said plies.
  • the core may be made other than by twisting two branches of a wire, the bristles may be implanted or molded on other supports.
  • the hairs can be natural or synthetic, and their ends can undergo any type of known treatment, for example to form rounded heads or forks.
