Definitions
- the present invention relates to applicators comprising a gripping, a rod connected by a joint to the gripping member and an element application disposed at one end of the rod.
- FR 1 395 217 describes an applicator for deformable capsule nail polish.
- This capsule has a flexible part and a rigid part, the latter comprising a thread allowing it to be screwed onto the neck of a bottle.
- the flexible part which can be spherical or bellows-shaped, is integral with a brush and allows the user, by pressing on it, to insert the brush for him allow to reach the bottom of the bottle, scrape it and effectively stir the pigments deposited there to resuspend them.
- Applicators comprising a non-longitudinal axis application element are also known, in particular for applying a product to the eyelashes and / or eyebrows.
- Given the shape of the application element difficulties may arise occur when the application element is loaded with product by being introduced into a container through a wringer. In order not to interfere with this introduction, the angle formed by the application element with the rod which supports it must not be too large. But he it may be desirable to have an application element which is more inclined with respect to the rod for ergonomic reasons and / or allow, for example, greater diversity of makeup results.
- the object of the invention is in particular to propose a new applicator, especially for lips, eyelids, eyebrows, eyelashes or hair, more ergonomic and / or allowing new makeup effects.
- Such an applicator can make it possible to modify the orientation of the element of application relative to the gripping member during use, to have an angle not zero between an axis of the applicator element and an axis of the rod, without, however cause difficulty in introducing the applicator into a container containing the product to be applied and provided with a wringer, since this introduction can be carried out by example while the rod is substantially in the axis of the gripping member.
- the application element has a non-rectilinear shape, it can the incidence of the application element relative to the gripping member at the time of use without having to give the application element a tilt as it would be likely to interfere with its introduction into the container. Tilting the rod relative to the gripping member also makes it possible to move the gripping member away of the face, in the case of eyelash or eyebrow makeup, therefore facilitates makeup eyelashes or eyebrows with the axis of the rod oriented substantially vertically.
- the gripping member may comprise a body provided with an internal thread.
- the gripping member may comprise a body crossed at one end by the maneuverable portion.
- the body may have, at this end, an end wall provided with an opening traversed by the maneuverable portion.
- This end wall may have a generally convex outward shape.
- the aforementioned opening may include at least one slot, which can be used to guide the movement of the maneuverable portion.
- This slot may extend, if where appropriate, on at least part of the lateral surface of the gripping member.
- the opening may for example comprise at least two slots, the longitudinal axes of these two slots may be substantially perpendicular to each other, for example.
- the slots may have edges defining, for example thanks to at least one boss, at least one hard point when moving the maneuverable portion. Point hard can facilitate, if necessary, maintaining the maneuverable portion in a position predetermined.
- the applicator for example the end wall, can comprise at least one marker, for example graduations, making it easier for the user to locate the orientation of the rod relative to the gripping member.
- the maneuverable portion may include a cover configured to come to the less partially covering the gripping member.
- This cache can present, for example, a generally concave face towards the gripping member.
- the maneuverable portion can be covered at least partially by a sheath, comprising for example at least one flexible region.
- This flexible region can in particular include a bellows.
- the maneuverable portion can be completely covered by the sheath.
- the sheath can be entirely flexible, being produced for example in a elastomer, for example butyl nitrile, EPDM, silicone or latex, this list not being limiting.
- the sheath can be attached to the gripping member or, alternatively, produced in one piece by molding with the gripping member, for example by over-injection.
- the sheath can have an external shape having an axial symmetry and present, for example, over at least part of its length, a cross section circular.
- the sheath can have an external shape favoring its deformability in one or more directions.
- the sheath can thus present, for example, on at at least part of its length an oblong cross section.
- the sheath can have a wall which can be more or less thick.
- the sheath can for example have a wall whose thickness, at least in places, is the order of magnitude of that of a wall of the gripping member.
- the sheath can also have a relatively thick wall, in particular when made of a cellular material.
- the sheath can comprise, for example, a block of foam, provided with a recess or at least one slot in which the rod is engaged at its second end.
- a block can for example be fixed by welding or gluing to one end of the body of the gripping organ.
- the sheath can contribute to sealing the closure of a container on which the applicator is reported when not in use.
- the articulation can comprise a brake to brake the movement of the rod by relation to the gripping organ.
- the brake can exert a braking action whatever or the position of the rod relative to the gripping member.
- the brake can also, in variant, only exert a braking action in at least one predetermined position of the rod relative to the gripping member.
- the articulation can be carried out in various ways, and allow for example a displacement of the rod around a geometric axis, of two geometric axes or of an infinity of geometric axes.
- the articulation can for example comprise a ball joint, which can have a rigid or flexible seat.
- a rigid seat can possibly provide a better sealing of the closure of the container thanks to better contact between a sealing member of the rod and the container, for example.
- the articulation can, as a variant, comprise a pin, for example metallic, around which the rod can pivot.
- the rod may also have a cylindrical part serving as a pivot.
- the joint can also include at least one flexible wall, for example a disk, crossed by the rod, this wall extending between the rod and the gripping.
- the articulation comprises at least one block of an elastically deformable material, for example a foam, crossed by the rod.
- the applicator can be configured in such a way that the rod retains the orientation given by the user once the user releases the portion manoeuvrable.
- the applicator may also include an elastic return member suitable for return the rod to a predetermined orientation, when the user releases it, by example to align its axis with that of the gripping member.
- This reminder body may be constituted for example by a constituent element of the joint.
- the organ of reminder can be constituted by a sheath as mentioned above.
- the rod may include a sealing member configured to be applied from substantially sealed against a surface of a container to which is attached the applicator when not in use.
- This sealing member may include, for example example, a disc and / or a frustoconical part.
- the application element may have a longitudinal axis, rectilinear or not.
- the applicator element may have a longitudinal axis which forms an angle not zero with an axis of the rod.
- This non-zero angle can be formed between the axis of a part end of the rod, adjacent to the applicator element, and the axis of a proximal part of the application element, adjacent to the rod.
- the non-zero angle can also be formed between the axis of an end portion of the rod, adjacent to the application element, and the axis of a distal part of the application element, distant from the rod.
- the application element may be non-straight or the rod and the element application may not extend entirely along the same rectilinear axis.
- the application element and the rod can for example extend, in this case, in a plane and the rod may pivot only in this same plane.
- the longitudinal axis of the element application may still extend outside the pivot plane of the rod.
- the applicator element may include bristles and / or oriented teeth transversely, for example perpendicularly, to the longitudinal axis of the element application.
- the application element may include a mascara brush, in particular a brush comprising a core formed by two branches of a twisted metal wire, the bristles extending substantially radially from the core.
- the application element may also include a comb configured to apply a product to the keratin fibers, for example the eyelashes or the eyebrows.
- the application element can be produced with notches for example.
- the application element can be produced by injection of plastic material, by example.
- the application element may, in an alternative embodiment, include a brush, in particular a brush for applying nail polish.
- the application element may also include a foam, a sponge, a felt or flocked tip, being configured for example to apply a product on the lips or eyelids.
- the application element can be flocked.
- the application element may be able to retain product by capillary action.
- the invention also relates to a packaging device and application of a cosmetic product, comprising a container containing the product and a applicator as defined above.
- the applicator can be configured to close the container.
- the container may include a wringer.
- the wringer can allow to bring back the rod in a zero tilt position when the applicator is returned to the container.
- the container and the applicator can be configured in such a way that the rod the applicator is prevented from rotating relative to the container when the applicator is in place on this one.
- a tight closure of the container can be obtained by means seal located above the joint, around the joint or below the joint, when one moves along the axis of the rod.
- the device 1 represented in FIG. 1 is intended for the application of a product P on eyelashes or eyebrows, for example mascara, and includes an applicator 2, shown separately in Figures 2 and 3 and a container 3 containing the product P and on which can attach the applicator 2 in a substantially waterproof manner in the absence use.
- the container 3 may comprise, in a conventional manner, as illustrated in Figure 1, a threaded neck 4 inside which is fixed a wringer 5, made for example in elastomer and may include a flexible lip of generally conical shape.
- the applicator 2 comprises a rod 6, rectilinear with axis X in the example illustrated and a gripping member 7 of axis Y also constituting a closure cap of the container 3, being provided for this purpose with an internal thread 8 configured to be screwed onto the neck 4.
- the rod 6 comprises a sealing member 9 configured to cooperate with the opening of the container 3 when the applicator 2 is in place thereon, as can be see in Figure 1.
- This sealing member 9 may comprise, for example, a part frustoconical 9a provided at its upper end with a flange 9b configured to come resting on the upper edge of the wiper 5.
- the latter defines inside the container a wiping orifice 5a which can be circular when the portion of the rod to be wrung is circular section, being adapted to the diameter thereof.
- the sealing member could for example include only the frustoconical part or that a disc or have a yet another form, and include for example a sealing skirt.
- the sealing member may include, in particular when it includes a disc, a string of material elastomer.
- the gripping member 7 comprises a generally tubular body 14, produced for example in a rigid plastic material, having a symmetrical external shape of revolution of axis Y in the example illustrated, this body 14 defining at an axial end an opening 15 allowing its engagement on the neck 4 of the container 3 and at the end opposite an opening 16 allowing the passage of a maneuverable portion 18 of the rod 6, used to orient the latter relative to the gripping member 7.
- the rod 6 is hingedly connected to the gripping member 2, such so that the angle ii formed between the axis X of the rod 6 and the axis Y of the gripping member 7 can be changed by the user while using applicator 2, as illustrated in figure 2.
- the applicator 2 may include a hinge which is presented for example in the form of a ball joint, comprising a generally spherical part 10 formed on the rod 6 and a housing or seat 11 of corresponding shape inside the member gripping 7.
- a ball joint may possibly allow rotation of the rod 6 on itself, around its axis X, relative to the gripping member 7, and prevent a sensitive axial and lateral displacement of the rod 6 at the joint, relative to the gripping member 7.
- the housing 11 is defined by a wall 12 of the member gripper which is connected at an upper end to a return 13 directed radially inward 14.
- the rod 6 is provided, at its end opposite to the maneuverable portion 18, an application element 20 which may or may not come into contact with the bottom of the container when the applicator is in place and which is constituted for example by a mascara brush.
- the brush may comprise, in a conventional manner, a core formed by two branches of twisted wire, from which the hairs extend substantially radially.
- the change in orientation of the rod 6 relative to the gripping member 7 can be done without grasping the portion of the rod which is introduced into the container when the applicator is in place on it, so there is no risk for the user to get dirty fingers.
- maneuverable portion 18 of the rod 6 can allow the user to view a change in direction of the application item relative to the gripping member, during makeup, by acting on the portion maneuverable 18.
- the rod can be operated with one hand, during makeup.
- the brush may have a non-straight core, as is the case in the example of FIGS. 1 to 3, or rectilinear, as illustrated in FIG. 7.
- the applicator element 20 and the rod 6 do not extend not both on the same line and, in particular, that the application element has a curvilinear longitudinal axis.
- the brush 20 has a curved core, the proximal portion 21a of the core 21, adjacent to the rod, connecting to the latter substantially along the axis X and the distal portion 21b of the core 21 pointing in a direction Z forming an angle i with the axis X.
- the angle formed between the direction Z and the axis Y of the gripping member 7 can correspond to the cumulative value of the angles i and ii, which can make it possible for example to apply the product to the eyelashes with the rod of the applicator facing upwards, as illustrated in Figure 3.
- the angle formed between the rod and the gripping member can be relatively high, in order to separate the face grip and facilitate makeup.
- the orientation of the rod may for example be substantially zero relative to the axis of the gripping member, as illustrated in FIG. 4.
- the applicator can be configured so that the rod retains the orientation which is given to it once the maneuverable portion 18 is released, so the user doesn't have to push on the maneuverable portion to keep the rod inclined relative to the axis of the gripping member.
- the applicator can be configured to return the rod to a predetermined orientation relative to the axis of the gripping member once the maneuverable portion 18 is released.
- the cooperation of the rod and the if necessary of the sealing member 9 with the container and in particular with the member spin 5 may have the effect of preventing a significant tilting of the maneuverable portion 18 relative to the gripping member, unlike what is the case for example for the device described in French patent 1 395 217.
- the core 21 is, for each of these examples, entirely straight before implantation in the stem.
- the blank has a bitronconical envelope surface around its longitudinal axis.
- the total length of the portion 20a of the brush which carries the bristles is example of the order of 26 mm.
- the larger diameter of the blank may be slightly greater than 7 mm while the end diameters can be close to 4 mm.
- the total length of the core 21 may be slightly greater than 35 mm, for example.
- the core 21 can be curved while keeping the portion implanted in the rod 6 straight, to give the free portion a radius of curvature close to 60 mm per example.
- the free end of the core may be offset from the axis of the rectilinear part implanted in the rod with a distance d which can be of the order of 4.5 mm for example.
- the blank of Figure 6 has, before the curvature of the core, a general shape fish with a substantially frustoconical front part 20b and a symmetrical body 20c of revolution, delimited in longitudinal section by two opposite circular edges 20d and 20th, outwardly concave, each having a radius of curvature of the order of 52 mm.
- the diameter of the brush, at the rear end plane 20f may be of the order of 7.5 mm for example and that at the front end plane 20g of the order of 5 mm for example.
- the end of the portion of the brush carrying the bristles, adjacent to the portion implanted in the rod, may form a slight angle, as illustrated in FIG. 6, with the axis of the portion implanted in the rod 6.
- the distance d from which the free end of the core is offset, can be of the order of 2.4 mm for example.
- a comb 60 as shown in FIG. 11.
- Other examples of combs, which are not limiting, are described in applications EP 1 169 941, EP 1070465, EP 1 070 468, EP 1 070 467 in particular.
- the rod 6 may not be entirely straight and include for example a bent portion 6a.
- the application element may include notches, when observed in section transverse, as can be seen in FIG. 12A, and be produced by injection of plastic material.
- the maneuverable portion 18 of the rod 6 is made in one piece with the rest of the rod, for example by molding of material plastic.
- portion maneuverable 18 is constituted by an insert on the rest of the rod 6, being by example inserted at one end into a housing 61 of the spherical part 10, as illustrated in figure 13.
- the articulation connecting the rod 6 to the gripping member 7 can be formed at by means of an insert on the rest of the gripping member 7, as illustrated in Figure 14.
- the housing 11 is formed in a part 63 fixed by example by snapping onto the rest 64 of the gripping member.
- the wall 12 which defines the housing 11 of the ball joint can extend, for example, at least partially outside the gripping member 7, as illustrated in the figure 15.
- the maneuverable portion 18 can be provided with a cover 66 which covers at least partially with little play or zero play the wall 12 of the housing 11, this cover 66 which can have, as in the example illustrated, a concave face 67 directed towards the wall 12.
- the gripping member 7 may have a wall at an axial end end 69, as illustrated in FIG. 16, crossed by one or more slots allowing passage of the maneuverable portion 18.
- the end wall 69 is crossed by two slots 70 and 71, with respective axes F 1 and F 2 perpendicular to each other, and the width of which corresponds substantially to the diameter of the maneuverable portion 18 , the latter being able to move in the slots when the rod 6 is inclined relative to the gripping member 7.
- the presence of the slots 70 and 71 can make it possible to limit the possibilities of displacement of the rod 6 relative to the gripping member 7 in the directions of the axes F 1 and F 2 .
- the end wall 69 has, in the example illustrated, a shape generally convex outward.
- At least one of the aforementioned slots may include at least one boss 73, for example two bosses 73 facing each other, in order to create a hard point at the crossing by the maneuverable portion 18, which can make it possible to participate in maintaining the maneuverable portion 18 in a predetermined position, for example in abutment against an axial end of one of the slots.
- the user can thus bring the portion maneuverable 18 in one of the five predefined positions, namely a central position in which the portion 18 is at the intersection of the slots 70 and 71 and the inclination of the rod 6 relatively to the substantially zero Y axis, and four extreme positions in each which the maneuverable portion 18 abuts against an axial end of the slot corresponding.
- the transition from the central position to one of the extreme positions takes place with crossing of a hard point linked to the presence of bosses 73.
- the gripping member 7 may have only one slot 70, as shown in figure 19.
- the applicator element can have a curved longitudinal axis which extends in this plane.
- the gripping member may include at least one reference 77 allowing the user to identify the position of the maneuverable portion 18 relative to the gripping.
- the gripping member may for example comprise a plurality of graduations.
- the maneuverable portion 18 can be covered by a sheath, which can be achieved in various ways.
- the sheath can contribute, for example, to sealing of the container.
- FIG. 20 shows a sheath 80 produced by overmolding a elastomer on a part 81 of the body of the gripping member 7.
- the sheath can be produced for example with pleats 82, as illustrated in the Figure 21, the folds 82 constituting for example a bellows giving it flexibility in all directions, to allow maneuvering the rod 6.
- the sheath has a shape generally symmetrical outside of revolution around the Y axis of the grip 7, but it is not going beyond the scope of the present invention by giving the sheath a non-symmetrical form of revolution, possibly with the aim of defining one or several preferred directions of movement of the maneuverable portion.
- FIG. 22 shows a sheath 90 having two opposite surfaces 91 substantially flat, on which the user can press to modify the inclination of the rod 6 relative to the gripping member 7.
- One of these surfaces 91 may possibly include an inscription 92 to prompt the user to press it.
- the flexibility of the sleeve 90 in the direction M movement of the maneuverable portion 18, substantially perpendicular to the surfaces 91 promotes pivoting of the rod around a geometric axis K which is substantially parallel to surfaces 91, while the greater rigidity of the sleeve 90 in the direction of the axis K tends to prevent pivoting of the rod around an axis perpendicular to the axis K.
- the housing of the ball joint can be formed by a wall made in one piece by molding material with the sheath, for example to slow the movements of the rod generating greater friction.
- FIG. 23 shows a sheath 100 comprising a base part 94, fixed by snap-fastening on a return 95 of the gripping member.
- the base part 94 defines the housing 11 in which the spherical part 10 of the rod 6.
- the sheath engaged on the maneuverable portion 18 may possibly not have no fixed part relative to the gripping member.
- the maneuverable portion 18 can be free inside the sheath and allow relative movement, in particular axial, of the maneuverable portion 18 relative to the sheath, when the inclination of the rod is changed.
- the maneuverable portion 18 may also not be free relative to the sheath, in order for example to generate stresses tending to bring the rod back into a rest position where the X axis is substantially coincident with the Y axis.
- the sheath can constitute, if necessary, an elastic return member of the rod in a zero tilt position at rest.
- the sheath may also include a block of cellular material attached to the body of the gripping organ.
- FIG. 24 shows a sheath constituted by a block 102 of an elastically deformable foam, fixed by a face 103 by welding or bonding to an end wall 104 of the gripping member.
- the block 102 includes a recess 105 opening onto the face 103, in which is received the maneuverable portion 18.
- the recess 105 can be replaced by one or more slots 106, for example two cross slits, as illustrated in FIG. 25.
- the sheath can also be made of the same material as the body gripping, being for example connected by a film hinge to the gripping member, as illustrated in figure 26.
- This figure shows a sheath 108 produced integrally by molding of material with the gripping member 7 and connected by a film hinge 107 to the gripping organ.
- the film hinge 107 is interrupted in a central region to allow the passage of the maneuverable portion 18.
- FIGS. 27 and 28 show a joint comprising a pin 110, for example metallic, of axis T on which is engaged the rod 6, the latter comprising for example an enlarged portion 111 having planar faces substantially perpendicular to the axis T and crossed by an opening 112 for passage of pin 110.
- the latter can be fixed in diametrically opposite studs 113 of the gripping organ.
- This may include an exterior covering 114, for example metal, fixed on its body 115 and which also serves to retain the pin 110 in the studs 113.
- FIG. 30 shows a hinge comprising a block 120 of a cellular material, for example an elastically deformable foam, fixed inside the body of the gripping member, for example by welding or gluing.
- the rod 6 passes through an opening 121 of block 120, for example a slot and may include reliefs 123, 124 arranged on either side of the block 120, these reliefs having a dimension sufficient to hold the block 120 together when the rod 6 is manipulated by the user to change its orientation.
- a simple disc 130 for example made of elastomer, can also be used, as illustrated in FIG. 31, this disc being for example welded to a return 131 of the gripping member bordering the opening through which the maneuverable portion 18 leaves.
- the spherical part 10 of the rod, engaged in the housing 11, may include reliefs 135, for example notches as illustrated in FIG. 32, cooperating with complementary reliefs 136 formed on the wall 12 of the housing, in order to brake the movement of the rod and / or allow it to be immobilized more easily in one or more several predetermined angular positions.
- the reliefs 135 and 136 can, as a variant, be replaced by at least one bead of an elastomeric material intended to create friction additional between the rod and the gripping member.
- An applicator produced in accordance with the invention may not be used in connection with a container into which the applicator is introduced when not in use.
- the application element can be loaded with product for example by bringing it into contact a product bread.
