Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cosmetic product applicator, including a product such as a nail polish, and a packaging and application comprising such an applicator.
  • Many applicators comprise an application member, in particular a bundle of bristles, attached to the end of a stem for application of the product to a surface of the human body, especially the skin or the keratinous fibers.
  • the flexibility of the stem can affect the accuracy of the makeup in some conditions of application.
  • Patent FR 2 705 876 discloses a rod carrying the organ application and having a necking which is positioned at the level of a wiper flocked during storage. The presence of the necking prevents the stem from flocking of the wiper. The rod is not intended to deform during application.
  • Patent US 2 173 959 discloses an applicator comprising a fixed rod at one end via a compressible sleeve in the body of gripping. The stem remains completely straight when its orientation relative to the grasping organ changes.
  • the present invention aims in particular to meet this need.
  • “Lower half” means the part of the stem extending between its first end connected to the applicator member and the middle of the rod.
  • the middle of the rod is located equidistant, when one moves along the stem, between his first end and its second end.
  • the invention allows more precision to the application while conferring the flexibility to the applicator.
  • the rod When the stem begins to bend in a plane, during application, essentially thanks to the deformation of the flexible shape memory part, the rod is not inclined to deform out of this plane when the angle formed between the parts of the stem located on either side of the flexible part increases. This helps to give the accuracy to the applicator.
  • the presence of the flexible part still allows the user to change more easily the angle that the application member makes with the surface on which the product is because this change can be made without significantly changing the orientation of the the grasping organ.
  • the distance measured along the axis of the rod between the middle of the flexible part and the first end of the rod is larger than the distance between the middle of the flexible portion and the second end of the rod.
  • the shaft has a distal portion extending from the first end and a proximal portion extending from the second end, the proximal portions and distal being connected by the flexible portion.
  • the length of the proximal portion may be less than the length of the portion distal.
  • the flexible part may deform during application to allow the distal portion to tilt substantially relative to the proximal portion.
  • the applicator according to the invention can allow a precise application of the produced on the nail, but nevertheless soft thanks to the presence of the flexible part.
  • the fact that the flexible part is closer to the second end than to the the first end of the stem can, if necessary, make the distal part with sufficient length for the flow of the product along the stem to direction of the applicator member, when the applicator is removed from the container containing the product, is not disturbed by the flexible part.
  • Such positioning of the flexible part can still make it possible to arrange the distal portion of the stem so as to channel product flow to a region predefined application member, for example by providing one or more grooves parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rod, these grooves may lead for example to mid-width of the enforcement body.
  • the softness obtained with the application thanks to the invention can also be accompanied by a lower risk of streaking and less risk of disturbing the balance between the product's compounds, which may lead to a faster drying and, if necessary, allow the user to iron a second layer of product without waiting for the end of the drying of the first layer.
  • the material or materials constituting the distal and proximal parts and the shape of the these can be chosen so that the distal and proximal parts noticeably deform during application.
  • the distal and proximal portions may each be substantially rectilinear during the application.
  • the length of the distal part may be greater than that of the part proximal by a factor of 1.5, better 1.7, or even at least 2.
  • the flexible portion can be configured so that the distal portion of the rod can be tilted reversibly when applying more than 30 °, better more than 45 °, or even 60 °, with respect to an initial position in which the distal portion and the proximal portion are substantially aligned.
  • the length of the flexible part may be less than that of at least one distal and proximal parts.
  • the flexible part can in particular extend over less than third of the total length of the stem, better less than a quarter.
  • the flexible part of the rod may have a larger cross-section large dimension, for example between 0.2 and 1.5 mm, in particular between 0.5 and 0.8 mm.
  • the flexible part of the rod can be symmetrical of revolution.
  • the flexible portion of the rod is diabolo-shaped.
  • the flexible part of the rod can still be non-symmetrical of revolution.
  • a such shape can make it possible to obtain a rigidity of the variable stem according to the direction of inclination of the distal portion with respect to its initial position, during the application of the product.

  • the gripping member may have a non-symmetrical shape of revolution favoring the grip of the applicator with a predefined orientation.
