Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for packaging and application comprising an applicator, this applicator being both secured to a container and a cover of the device.
  • the cover for closing the container is, through this means of the applicator, integral with the container.
  • Handling of this applicator is done by simultaneously holding the hood and the container, preferably with both hands, one in each hand.
  • a device according to the invention is mainly suitable for the makeup of the eyes in the context of the application of a line highlighting the edge of an eyelid, and or highlighting the lip contour.
  • eyeliners are known such that the tip-shaped applicator is mounted at the end of a rod fixed in a hood, and this hood is designed to be mounted on a tank of produced so that the applicator is immersed in the product in an assembled position of the cap on the reservoir. Then, the user who wants to draw a line at the edge of her eyelid must regularly move the tip of the applicator along the surface to be coated. This makeup operation is difficult to perform without erasures. The resulting line often has unwanted recesses.
  • the invention proposes for this purpose to stretch a flexible applicator and elongate form between two points so as to obtain a line between these two points.
  • the user controlling the positioning of these two points may consider making this feature without a mirror.
  • a first end of this applicator, at a first point, is linked to the cover of the packaging and application device, while a second end of the applicator, at a second point, is related to the reservoir of this device.
  • the make-up gesture necessary for the use of such an applicator preferably requires both hands, a first hand holding the reservoir, and a second hand holding the hood, and the applicator can be stretched between the two points.
  • the user applies the second point of the applicator to the skin and extends the applicator down the first point of this applicator towards the skin so as to form a line on the skin between these two points.
  • the cosmetic product applied thanks to the device of the invention is preferably fluid, and more particularly liquid or semi-liquid.
  • Cosmetic Directive 76/768 / EEC "cosmetic product” means any substance or preparation intended to be placed in contact with various superficial parts of the human body (epidermis, hair and hair systems, nails, lips) in view, exclusively or mainly to clean, perfume, modify the appearance, or protect them, and or maintain them in good condition.
  • the applicator is kept connected to the first means and to the second means, even during its use. It is inseparable.
  • the first means are integral with the hood.
  • the second means comprise a support mounted to move inside the reservoir to be secured to the reservoir, this support being also connected to the second end of the applicator.
  • said support comprises a retention means for cooperating with a device complementary to the reservoir.
  • the complementary device prevents the mobile support from leaving the tank.
  • this cooperation is obtained by proposing the support provided with a bead on an outer side wall, the complementary device being formed of a wiper mounted at the opening of the tank. The bead can then bear against a periphery of this wiper.
  • the cover is mounted on the reservoir so as to close the opening, and the applicator is hidden inside the reservoir.
  • the cover is screwed on an outer periphery of the reservoir.
  • the applicator is, in this presentation "closed”, at least partly immersed in the product.
  • the applicator When the hood is clear of the opening of the tank, the applicator is driven by the hood outside the tank. The applicator progressively leaves the opening of the reservoir.
  • the inner wall of the reservoir is preferably provided at the opening with a wiper. This wiper makes it possible to scrape the surplus of product presented at the periphery of the applicator.
  • the portion of the applicator leaving the reservoir has a reproducible amount of product, this amount corresponding to a dose necessary for an application.
  • the applicator is flexible, so it can be applied against curved surfaces.
  • the applicator may be flexible and may be elastically deformed to cover a full length of a surface to be coated, this surface length to be coated may be greater than a rest length of the applicator, defined between the first end and the second end, in which case the applicator is elastically elongated.
  • the applicator is able to be flexed elastically.
  • At least one of the first and second means is rigid. This rigidity makes it possible to point at least one of the ends towards the surface to be coated, and to maintain a point of contact between this surface and this end of the applicator.
  • the second means are rigid, they are then able to lock obliquely through the opening of the reservoir, and thus provide a fixed position of the second end of the applicator relative to the reservoir, even if outside of this blocking, the second means are movable and retractable inside the tank. In this fixed position, the second means are preferably blocked through the wiper and prevent any product flow out of the reservoir in this position.
  • the first means cooperate with the second means.
  • the user can use the first means to push the second means to the bottom of the tank.
  • the applicator is flexible, it is optionally wrapped around one of the means, it is thus directly reinserted into the receptacle at the same time as the means on which it is wound.
  • the first and second means are rigid to allow good presentation of the applicator, during use, and also to facilitate closure of the device after use.
  • FIG. 1 shows a packaging and application device 1 according to the invention.
  • This device 1 comprises a reservoir 2 inside which is stored a quantity of product, especially cosmetic product.
  • This reservoir 2 comprises an opening 3 from which an applicator 4 can exit.
  • the applicator In a "closed” position of the device 1, the applicator is inside the reservoir 2.
  • the applicator 4 is out of the opening 3.
  • the applicator 4 preferably has an elongate shape delimited on either side by a first end 7 and a second end 6, these ends 6 and 7 being preferably opposite each other relative to an axis of main elongation 8 of the applicator 4. At least one of these two ends may for example comprise a boss constituting an excrescent element, sensitive during its application, and thus forming a tactile element helping positioning the first point relative to the surface to coated.
  • the applicator 4 is preferably flexible, and optionally elastically deformable.
  • elastically deformable means suitable to be bent or extended. It is for example made of a flexible thermoplastic material, or from a group of synthetic fibers or not, arranged parallel to each other, possibly grouped over their entire length.
  • the applicator 4 has at least one surface intended to be applied against a surface to be coated, this surface is in particular defined on an outer periphery of the applicator, between the two ends 6 and 7.
  • this surface is in particular defined on an outer periphery of the applicator, between the two ends 6 and 7.
  • the applicator may have two surfaces of different width and selectively intended to be applied to the surface to be coated.
  • a cross section of the applicator is considered perpendicular to the axis 8.
  • the applicator 4 has a circular cross section.
  • a support 9 is mounted on the second end 6 of the applicator 4.
  • this support 9 is rigid and is partially retained inside the reservoir 2.
  • the opening 3 of the reservoir 2 is provided with a means 10 to prevent the support 9 from leaving the tank 2.
  • This means 10 can also provide a wiper function of the applicator 4.
  • the means 10 is preferably mounted at the opening 3. There is is for example retained by cooperation between a circular ring 11 provided on an outer periphery of the wiper 10 to cooperate with an inner wall of the reservoir 2.
  • the support 9 comprises for example a bead 12, for example defined over an entire outer periphery of the support 9, to cooperate with a song 13 of the wiper 10, this song 13 corresponding to a the edge of the channel 14 formed in this wiper 10 to let the applicator 4 out of the reservoir 2. At least a portion of the support 9 can also pass through the channel 14.
  • the first end 7 of the applicator is connected to a rod 15 presented by the cover 5.
  • This rod 15 is preferably rigid. It is for example obtained by molding with the cover 5.
  • the rod 15 can also be an insert element inside the cover. She is then fixed there.
  • a method for assembling a device such as 1 comprises, for example, the following steps: the second end 6 in the support 9 is first mounted in a first step, then the wiper means 10 is slid from the first end 7, again free, towards the second end 6, and finally this first end 7 is connected to the rod 15.
  • This subassembly is inserted into the tank 2, in a second time T2, possibly after filling of the tank 2, by first introducing the support 9 from its end having the bead 12 in the opening 3.
  • the wiper means 10 is translated towards the opening 3 so as to mount it fixedly at this opening 3.
  • a collar 16 of the wiper means 10 is mounted in abutment against a ring 17 of the opening 3.
  • the support 9 can cause, under the effect of its weight, the applicator 4 in the reservoir.
  • the rod 15 is further inserted into the opening 17 to drive the applicator 4 therethrough. If the support is not yet fully inserted into the reservoir 2, the regrowth by means of this rod 15, which is for these purposes preferably rigid.
  • the cover is designed to close the opening 3. It may comprise a wall forming a skirt around the rod 15, and having a thread on an inner periphery 18.
  • the outer periphery 19 of the tank 2, in particular at the level of a collar formed under the opening 3, has a complementary relief to cooperate with the inner periphery threaded 18.
  • this skirt can be slammed on the outer periphery of the neck.
  • the cover 5 is pulled apart so that the axis 20 of the rod aligns with the axis 8 of the applicator 4 and remains in the extension of an axis 21 of the support 9.
  • the hood 5 is pulled out until the bead 12 of the support 9 comes into abutment against the wiper means 10, and until the applicator 4 is completely out of the reservoir 2.
  • the applicator 4 is then stretched between the rod 15 and the support 9, it is therefore possible to place the rod 15 and therefore the cover 5 in an angular position 20 not superimposed with the axis 8 of the applicator 4.
  • the support 9 can be oriented in an angular position 21 not superimposed with the axis 8 of the applicator 4, it is then braced in the wiper means 10.
  • the axes 20 and 21 respectively are arranged substantially at 90 ° of the applicator 4 and are erected perpendicularly and opposite the surface intended to be applied against the surface to be coated.
  • an angle 22 is formed between the axis 21 of the support 9 and an output axis 23 of the opening 3 according to the overall geometry of the support 9 and the wiper 10, including their respective diameters and lengths, and is for example between 5 and 20 °.
  • the user who holds the cover 5 in a first hand 24 and the reservoir in a second hand 25 can arrange the ends 6 and 7 where he wishes on the surface to be coated, here the edge of the eyelid 26.
  • the second hand orients the reservoir 2 so as to position the second end 6 at an internal commissure of the eyelid 26, and then the first hand 24 descends towards the eyelid so as to position the first end 7 at an external commissure of the eyelid 26.
  • the length of the applicator 4 is adjustable by possibly winding a portion of this applicator 4 around the rod 15, so as to adapt to the length to be made for get the desired trait. Or conversely, the application can begin by marking the first point at the outer commissure of the eyelid.
  • the applicator 4 since the applicator 4 is flexible, it can form a curvature that can adapt to the morphology of the eyelid 26. In this case, it is not necessarily stretched between the support 9 and the rod 15.
