Definitions

  • the present invention relates to devices for the application of a cosmetic product, including care, and more particularly but not exclusively, those for the application of a nail polish or an eyeliner.
  • the patent US 6,033,143 discloses nail polish applicators having a shaft having a flexible portion. The flexible portion of the rod does not extend around the applicator member.
  • the bottles of nail polish found on the market with various capacities, most often between 7 and 14 ml.
  • the associated applicators comprise a rod with an applicator member, in particular a brush, at one end.
  • the height of the body of the bottle allows to use a relatively long rod.
  • the height of the body of the bottle is generally less and the stem must then be shorter if one wants to keep the brush hairs long enough not to lose in flexibility and quality. 'application.
  • a short stem can affect comfort during application and aesthetics.
  • the length of the bristles of the brush can not be shortened except to make the brush stiffer and risk forming streaks on the nail at the time of application.
  • the invention aims in particular to meet this need.
  • the aforesaid first portion being capable of deforming substantially in response to bending of the applicator member, the apparent length thereof may be less without loss of flexibility or comfort or accuracy of application.
  • This first portion may be made in a distal portion of the rod that can be connected to a proximal portion, which may be substantially non-deformable to the application.
  • the bristles may for example have an apparent length of 10 mm while offering the performance and comfort to the application of a conventional applicator whose apparent length of hair would be larger, for example from 10% to 300%, for example equal to 17 mm.
  • the first portion can contribute to imposing the manner in which the application member deforms on application, so that the user can gain in precision, for example to follow the outline of the nails.
  • the distal portion can also be reported on the proximal portion, the proximal and distal portions being able to be assembled in particular by snap-fitting, insertion force, gluing or welding.
  • the proximal and distal portions may be made of the same material, or at least partially in two different respective materials.
  • the first portion can be made at least partially in an elastomeric material.
  • the first portion can be made at least partially in one of the following materials: silicone, EPDM, PU, SIS, SEBS, SBS, EVA, polyether block, polyester, this list not being limiting.
  • the rod may comprise a second portion, the first and second portions being able to form the rod, this second portion being able to be made at least partially in one of the following materials: HDPE, LDPE, PP, POM, PA, PET, PBT, this list not being limiting.
  • the stem may include at least one slot extending over at least a portion of the length of the first portion. Such a slot can promote the deformability of the first portion, and allow for example the use of a less flexible material.
  • the first portion may extend around the applicator member in a continuous or discontinuous manner, and in particular circumferentially completely or partially surround the applicator member.
  • the first portion may or may not be in contact with the application member.
  • the rod may have two opposing openings extending over at least a portion of the length of the first portion from the free end thereof. These openings may improve the deformability of the first portion and / or allow the applicator member to deform in a certain way to the application, especially when the applicator member is a brush.
  • the applicator member extends at least partially out of the first portion, and may for example extend predominantly or not outside the first portion.
  • the length of the portion of the applicator member engaged inside the first portion may, for example, correspond to at least a quarter, or even at least one third, of the total length of the applicator member, in particular when the applicator member is a bundle of bristles.
  • the applicator member may be attached to the proximal portion or the distal portion.
  • the first portion may be more easily deformable in at least one direction of preferential deformation.
  • the first portion may have, in the absence of application, a non-constant outer cross section, for example defined by a wall tapering towards the free end of the rod.
  • An inner or outer transverse section of the first portion may have a shape selected from the following: circular, non-circular, in particular oblong, oval, elliptical, polygonal, in particular square, rectangular, kidney-shaped, crenellated, star-shaped, with a shape or several throats, if any.
  • the first portion may comprise a wall whose thickness may be between 0.3 and 0.8 mm, for example. Whatever its value, the thickness may be constant or variable, especially in the longitudinal direction, in particular decreasing closer to the free end of the first portion.
  • the length of the first portion may be for example between 1 and 12 mm, in particular between 2 and 8 mm.
  • the rod may comprise, over at least a portion of its length, at least one groove, in particular two grooves located opposite one another. At least one groove may extend over a major part of the length of the first portion of the rod, in particular over substantially its entire length.
  • the apparent length of the applicator member may be between 2 and 7 mm for example, and in particular may be of the order of about 5 mm.
  • the applicator member may comprise at least one of the following elements: a bundle of bristles, a felt, a flocking coating, a foam.
  • the applicator member may comprise a bundle of bristles forming a brush, whose cross section may be flat or round.
  • the applicator member may comprise at least one tip, possibly flocked.
  • the applicator member may comprise natural or synthetic bristles, hollow or solid, with a capillary groove, of polygonal or non-circular section, circular or not, or a mixture of bristles of different natures and / or shapes.
  • the proximal portion may be connected, on a side opposite the distal portion, to a gripping member.
  • the latter may comprise fixing means on a container, in particular a thread.
  • the applicator may be arranged to be removably attached to the container.
  • the container may include a wiper.
  • the product may be a product to be applied to the nails, especially a nail polish.
  • the capacity of the container may be between 2 and 12 ml, in particular between 5 and 9 ml, or even be about 7 ml.
  • the invention is not limited to a nail polish applicator, and may especially apply to an eyeliner applicator.
  • the application member may be for example a brush or something other than a brush, including a felt tip, a flocked plastic tip or a foam tip.
  • the presence of the first deformable portion can reduce the sensation of hardness on application to the eye.
  • At least a portion of the sleeve may be arranged to be able to deform at least partially in response to a deformation of the applicator member during application.
  • the sleeve may be arranged to stop on the rod by snapping or friction at the end of its sliding towards the end of the rod.
  • the packaging and application device 1 shown in FIG. 1 comprises a container 2 and an applicator 3 removably attached to the container 2.
  • the container 2 comprises in the upper part an externally threaded neck 4, on which can be screwed a closure cap 5 which also serves as a gripping member for the applicator 3.
  • the container 2 contains a nail varnish V in the example described, but it is not beyond the scope of the present invention when the product contained in the container is other.
  • the applicator 3 comprises a rod 6 which has been shown in isolation in FIG. 2 and which has at one end an endpiece 8 intended to fix it in the closure cap 5 and at the opposite end a bundle 10 of bristles 11 , so as to constitute a brush.
  • the rod 6 comprises a distal portion 6a and a proximal portion 6b made of different materials, the proximal portion 6b having a cylindrical portion of revolution about the X axis, this cylindrical portion being connected at the end 8 by a frustoconical portion 14.
  • the end of the proximal portion 6b adjacent to the distal portion 6a comprises a housing 16 at the bottom of which is fixed, for example stapling, the bundle 10 of bristles, the latter being for example folded in half and fixed at mid-length by a staple placed in the bottom of the housing 16.
  • the distal portion 6a defines an X-axis housing 17, open at its two axial ends, through which the beam 10 passes.
  • the first portion 12 is defined by the portion of the rod 6 which extends around the applicator member 10 and which can deform at least partially in response to a deformation of the applicator member during the application. In the example shown, the first portion 12 extends over the entire length of the distal portion 6a. The rest of the rod defines the second portion 13.
  • This second portion 13 may be entirely non-deformable or partly non-deformable.
  • the bristles may be fixed in the second portion 13 non-deformable, as is the case in the example.
  • the wall of the first portion 12 tapers toward the free end 19 of the rod 6 and the first portion 12 has both inner and outer circular cross sections, as can be seen on Figure 6. Other forms of sections are possible, as will be illustrated below.
  • the distal portion 6a is made of a softer plastic material than that in which the proximal portion 6b is made.
  • the distal portion 6a is for example made in an elastomer, which may be overmoulded at the end of the proximal portion 6b, in particular a thermoplastic elastomer.
  • the applicator 3 may for example be manufactured in the following manner.
  • the rod 6 is molded by first molding the proximal portion 6b and then overmolding on the proximal portion 6b the distal portion 6a. The bristles are then attached to the proximal portion 6b.
  • the bundle 10 can bend in contact with the surface on which the product is to be applied, for example the fingernail, and the first portion 12 can accompany to a certain extent the deformation.
  • beam 10 thanks to its deformability, while the second portion 13 has a substantially unchanged shape.
  • the first portion 12 thus contributes to the comfort of the application and makes it possible to have an apparent length of rod 6, extending out of the closure cap 5 when the applicator is observed from the side, long enough to be pleasant on the aesthetic plan.
  • This apparent length also facilitates the precise application of the product by avoiding that the closure cap interferes with the observation, when applying the surface on which the product is to be applied.
  • the first portion 12 also allows the beam 10 to behave as if it were longer than it appears, thanks to the fact that the first portion 12 can accompany to a certain extent the deformation of the portion of the beam 10 which extends into the housing 17.
  • the first portion 12 can be deformed by bending, that is to say by deforming so that its longitudinal axis becomes curvilinear and no longer coincides with the X axis.
  • the first portion 12 can also be deformed by changing the section, including taking a flattening section, which can promote the spreading of the bristles of the beam 10, including a fan spacing.
  • the first portion 12 can resume shape memory, thanks to its own elasticity, its original shape, and in particular have its longitudinal axis again rectilinear and coincident with the X axis.
  • the beam 10 may be fully implanted in the distal portion 6a, as seen in FIG. 4.
  • the first portion 12 extends only over a portion of the length of the distal portion 6a, which is made entirely of elastomeric material.
  • the second portion 13 then extends at least partially over the distal portion 6a made of elastomer.
  • the distal and proximal parts when they are made of different materials, can be assembled in various other ways than by overmoulding of material, and in particular can be assembled by complementarity of shape as illustrated in FIG. 5, for example by realizing one end of the distal portion 6a has a male shape 20 configured to engage a housing 21 of complementary shape to the proximal portion 6b.
  • the first portion 12 has a circular cross-section wall that surrounds the bundle 10.
  • this wall may, in a variant, have a non-circular cross-section, for example substantially oval as shown in Figure 7.
  • the first portion 12 may also have a cross-section of polygonal shape, for example square or rectangular as illustrated in Figures 8 and 9, reniform as illustrated in Figure 10, starred as illustrated in Figure 11 or crenellated, as shown in FIG. figure 12.
  • the rod 6 may be made with for example a longitudinal groove 23, which may extend over all or part of the length of the rod and in particular on a fraction of the length thereof from its free end 19.
  • the groove 23 may in particular extend only on the first portion 12, for example on a major part thereof, or on at least part of the distal part 6a.
  • the rod 6, in particular its first portion 12, may have internal and external transverse sections that do not have the same shape.
  • the rod 6 can be made, in particular over a certain part of its length from its free end 19, with an outer cross section of generally oblong shape and with two opposite grooves 23, as can be seen in FIG. 14.
  • the inner cross section may for example be rectangular, so that the wall of the first portion 12 has variations in thickness around the housing 17 through which the bundle 10 of bristles.
  • the grooves 23 may serve to channel the product which flows, after removal of the applicator from the container, on the rod 6 towards its free end 19 towards one or more predefined zones of the bundle 10, in particular in a central region of this one, to improve the comfort to the application and in particular the precision of the make-up.
  • FIGS. 15 and 16 illustrate the possibility for the rod 6 to comprise, from its free end 19, two diametrically opposed lateral openings 25, which extend for example over a major part of the first portion 12. These openings 25 may allow the bristles 11 of the bundle 10 to fan away during application, by passing through the openings 25.
  • the shape of the cross section of the first portion 12 may define at least one preferential direction in which the first portion 12 can deform.
  • an oblong cross-section may flex more easily about an axis that is parallel to the major axis of the oblong section.
  • a reniform cross-section can give the beam 10 a general shape of tile and allow it to marry more easily the convex shape of the nail.
  • the rod 6 can be made with at least one slot intended to improve the deformability of at least a fraction of the length of the rod and in particular the deformability of its first portion 12.
  • FIG. 17 shows a rod 6 which has a plurality of longitudinal slots 27 with contiguous edges, which are distributed uniformly over the circumference of the first portion 12, and pass through the entire thickness of its wall in the example considered.
  • the slots 27 could extend only over a portion of the wall thickness, especially from its outer surface. They could also not be contiguous.
  • the rod 6 can be made, as can be seen in FIG. 18, with at least one bellows-shaped portion 30 extending between regions 31 and 32, capable for example of flexing around at least one perpendicular axis to the longitudinal axis X.
  • the distal portion 6a of the rod 6 may also be in the form of a duckbill, as shown schematically in FIG. 30.
  • the end of the distal portion 6a which connects to the proximal portion 6b of the rod 6 is substantially circular in shape and the free end 19 of the distal portion 6a is of flattened shape.
  • the rod 6 has a distal portion 6a consists of a sleeve 40 slidable along the proximal portion 6b of the rod.
  • Figure 32 shows the sleeve 40 in a waiting position on the proximal portion 6b of the rod 6, thus allowing easy access to the housing 16 for fixing the bundle 10 of bristles 11 therein.
  • the sleeve 40 After placement of the bundle 10 of bristles 11, the sleeve 40 is moved relative to the proximal portion 6b of the rod 6 to surround a portion of the bundle 10.
  • the sleeve 40 is held in its final position on the proximal portion 6b of the rod 6 for example by snapping, thanks to an annular bead 41 engaging in an annular groove 42 formed at the end of the proximal portion 6b of the rod 6.
  • the deformability of the first portion 12 may be obtained thanks to the presence of the openings 25, slots 27 or the bellows 30, and the first portion 12 may have sufficient deformability without the need to make it in an elastomeric material, the first portion 12 can be made, if necessary, in the same material as the rest of the rod. However, it is preferable, to benefit from further deformability, to make the first portion 12 at least partially in an elastomeric material.
  • the invention finds application not only in the field of the application of nail polish but more generally in the field of makeup and for example for the application of a product on the eyelids, including an eyeliner.
  • This product may be contained for example in a container provided with a wiper member 33 as illustrated in FIGS. 19 and 33, which makes it possible to wring the applicator member out of the container.
  • the wiper member 33 may be formed of a pierced foam, as illustrated in FIG. 19, or by an elastomer sleeve, as illustrated in FIG. 33.
  • the applicator member may consist, in the case of an eyeliner, by a brush as illustrated in FIG. 20 or by any other applicator member, for example a point 34 made of felt, foam or other materials, for example a solid plastic material, optionally elastomeric.
  • the applicator member may comprise a flocked tip 35, as can be seen in FIG.
  • the applicator may be made differently still and in particular the rod 6 may be made in one piece with the closure cap 5, as shown in FIG. 22.
  • the applicator member comprises a bundle 10 of bristles 11, the latter may have various cross sections, for example one of those illustrated in FIGS. 24 to 29.
