Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an applicator for applying a product to nails, for example a nail polish.
  • European patent EP 0 651 955 discloses a varnish applicator for nails having a shaft and bristles secured in a shaft housing, said housing being oblong cross section.
  • the opening of the housing has in cross section a homothetic contour of that of the stem, in bean-shaped or with two main sides slightly concave towards the outside, of so that the thickness of the wall surrounding the housing is constant.
  • JP-4-28812 a nail polish applicator whose the rod comprises a plurality of longitudinal grooves distributed substantially uniform on all its periphery.
  • the applicator according to the invention comprises a stem and bristles fixed in a housing an end portion of the shaft, said housing having a sectional opening transverse oblong along an X axis of greater length, the rod having a wall of varying thickness around the housing.
  • This applicator can be characterized, according to one aspect of the invention, by the fact that the rod has, in the end portion which comprises the housing which receives the bristles of the brush, a cross-section having an outer contour with no concavity, with the exception of a groove or two grooves located opposite one of the other, this or these grooves extending along at least a portion of the rod and being located substantially when the stem is observed in cross-section at mid-length along the X axis of the dwelling.
  • the outer contour having no concavity can be convex and have, where appropriate, at least one flat side.
  • the product thickness surrounding the rod is greater in the groove or grooves on the sides.
  • the product that flows along the stem when the applicator is extracted from the container thus gains the bundle of hairs preferentially in a substantially central region thereof, so that the product can be spread in good conditions.
  • the amount of product gaining the sides of the brush is reduced.
  • the rod may have a second groove opposite to the first, and the applicator may be symmetrical with respect to a median plane.
  • the two grooves can thus be symmetrical with respect to a median plane parallel to the X axis but it is not beyond the scope of the present invention when the grooves have different shapes.
  • the opening of the housing can advantageously have a section substantially rectangular transverse, which allows to obtain a distribution of hair substantially homogeneous, but other forms are possible, for example a section oval cross section, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
  • the end portion of the rod may have, in cross-section, two opposite sides convex towards the outside, for example in the shape of an arc of a circle, connecting each one having a groove and the opposite side.
  • the or each groove can present in cross section an outline in an arc, for example.
  • the housing may have a cross section decreasing in closer to its bottom, this reduction being possible according to the divergence desired for the hair.
  • the bottom of the housing may include a recess in which the bristles are fixed and which opens into a part of the housing flaring in the direction of the opening thereof, this part allowing the hairs to move away from each other to give the brush an enlarged shape.
  • the housing can be arranged so that the hairs extend outside the housing over a width, measured parallel to the axis X, greater than the width of the rod at the housing. We obtain a brush relatively wide.
  • the length of the portion of the hair extending out of the stem housing may be between 5 and 20 mm, for example.
  • the free ends of the hairs can substantially describe an arc of a circle with a radius of curvature of between 2 and 15 mm example, especially between 4 and 10 mm.
  • the width of the opening of the housing may be less than or equal to 2 mm.
  • the wall of the stem, near the longitudinal ends along the X axis of the housing, can be relatively thin.
  • the rod may have, around the housing, a wall whose thickness, measured from one end longitudinal housing, is less than the thickness measured from the mid-length housing.
  • the thickness of the wall extending around the dwelling goes through a minimum at the portions that are adjacent to the longitudinal ends along the X axis of the housing.
  • the largest transverse dimension of the portion of the stem immersed in the product contained in the container when the applicator is in place on it may be less than or equal to 5 mm.
  • the rod can be arranged to attach to a closure cap of the container; alternatively, the rod can be made in one piece by molding material plastic with a closure cap of the container.
  • FIG. 1 shows a device 1 for applying a product to the nails, for example a nail polish V, this device comprising a container 2 containing varnish V and an applicator 3 comprising a rod 4 made of plastic, provided with at one end of a flat brush 5 and at the other end of a gripping member 10 also constituting a closing cap of the container 2.
  • a device 1 for applying a product to the nails for example a nail polish V
  • this device comprising a container 2 containing varnish V and an applicator 3 comprising a rod 4 made of plastic, provided with at one end of a flat brush 5 and at the other end of a gripping member 10 also constituting a closing cap of the container 2.
  • the container 2 also comprises a ball 6, for example metal, allowing to homogenize the varnish V before the application, by shaking the device 1.
  • the rod 4 comprises at its upper end a skirt 8 for fixing in a housing of the cap 10, the latter being configured to screw on the neck 11 of the container 2.
  • a flange 12 is formed at the base of the skirt 8 to bear against the upper edge of the neck 11 when the applicator is in place on the container 2.
  • the rod 4 comprises under the flange 12 a conical portion 13 which can contribute to sealing the closure of the container 2 when the applicator 3 is in place on the latter.
  • the seal could still be obtained by cooperation of surfaces of the cap 10 and the container neck.
  • the rod 4 also comprises a lower end portion 14 which is provided with a housing 15 inside which are fixed the bristles of the brush 5, by example by stapling, gluing, melting or overmolding.
  • a chamfer 20 can be made, as can be see it in figure 4.
  • the rod 4 comprises, in the illustrated example, a major part of its length to its distal end 17, two opposite longitudinal grooves 18.
  • the housing 15 has an opening of rectangular cross-section, of elongate shape along an axis X perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rod 4.
  • the outer contour of the rod 4 and the housing 15 are in the example considered symmetrical with respect to the axis X and with respect to a median axis Y perpendicular to the X axis.
  • the outer contour 16 of the rod 4 is convex. More particularly, in the example considered, the outline of the rod 4 is delimited at the grooves 18 by portions of circle 16a, the latter being joined on the sides by portions of a circle 16b convex outward and smaller radius of curvature than the portions 16a.
  • the housing 15 may have, as can be seen in FIG. cross section decreasing towards the bottom 19 of the housing.
  • the bristles of the brush 5 move apart when the brush is applied to the nail.
  • FIG. 13 shows that by giving housing 15 a cross-section substantially constant, we obtain a brush whose bristles are relatively tight, then that by giving the housing 15 a shape diverging towards the outside, the bristles are allowed to to deviate further from each other to form a relatively large beam.
  • the housing 15 can be made with a recess 15a in its bottom which hairs are attached to the stem; this recess can lead to a part 15b flaring towards the opening of the housing 15, allowing the hairs to move away from each other.
  • the housing 15 can thus be made in such a way that the maximum transverse dimension 1 2 of the brush, measured parallel to the axis X, is greater than the transverse dimension 1 of the rod of the level of the housing 15, as can be seen on FIG. Figure 14.
  • the free ends of the bristles of the brush 5 may be, for example, as seen in Figure 15, along a substantially circular curve C. In alternatively, the free ends of the bristles could be located substantially along a right, for example.
  • the length l of the portion of the bristles which extends out of the housing 15 is for example between 5 and 20 mm.
  • the device 1 is used in the following manner.
  • the product When the applicator 3 is removed from the container 2, the product is present on the rod 4 and the latter flows by gravity towards the brush 5.
  • the thickness of product is greater at the grooves 18, which can retain by capillarity more product.
  • the product flows preferentially into the central region of brush, which allows to spread it more easily and more precisely.
  • FIGS. 6 to 12 show different forms of possible accommodations, among others.
  • the rod may have only one groove 18.
  • the opening of the housing can have a section transverse not rectangular but oblong, for example elliptical.
  • the opening of the housing may have a section having two slight concavities 15c on the long sides, these two concavities, however, being less pronounced than those formed by the grooves 18.
  • the grooves 18 can be relatively narrow, for example to further increase the product retention by capillarity.
  • the grooves 18 may present, in section transversal, a triangular profile.
  • the thickness e 1 of the wall near the longitudinal ends of the housing 15 may be less than the thickness e 2 of the wall substantially at the mid-length of the housing 15.
  • thickness e 1 may, if necessary, correspond to a minimum.
  • a small thickness e 1 makes it possible to make a housing 15 having a larger dimension along the X axis, which makes it possible to obtain a very wide brush or capable of being easily enlarged.
  • FIG. 12 illustrates the possibility of having two grooves 18 having shapes different.
  • the rod 4 can still be made in one piece with the plug of closing the container, as shown in FIG.
