Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'application d'un produit, notamment un produit de coloration ou éclaircissant, sur des mèches de cheveux.The present invention relates to a device for applying a product, especially a coloring or lightening product, on locks of hair.

Pour appliquer des produits sur des mèches de cheveux, il est courant d'isoler dans un premier temps, des mèches de cheveux avant de leur appliquer un produit. Actuellement, sont utilisées diverses techniques pour isoler les mèches de cheveux.To apply products on locks of hair, it is common to isolate first, locks of hair before applying a product. Currently, are used various techniques to isolate wicks hair.

Selon une première méthode, un bonnet perforé est placé sur la tête de la consommatrice. A l'aide d'un outil dont une extrémité est configurée sous forme d'un crochet, les mèches en regard des perforations, sont extraites du bonnet. Le produit est alors appliqué uniformément sur ces mèches, notamment au moyen d'un pinceau. Après un temps de pose adéquat, le bonnet est retiré. L'action du produit colorant est ensuite neutralisée par un shampooing. Une telle méthode est décrite par exemple dans le brevet US-A-4 961 439. Les inconvénients de cette méthode sont nombreux : elle est douloureuse pour la consommatrice lorsque les mèches sont extraites du bonnet et lorsque le bonnet est retiré ; elle est longue et fastidieuse à mettre en oeuvre.According to a first method, a perforated cup is placed on the head of the consumer. Using a tool with one end configured in form a hook, the locks opposite perforations, are extracted from the cap. The product is then applied uniformly to these locks, particularly at with a brush. After a suitable exposure time, the cap is removed. The action of the coloring product is then neutralized by a shampoo. A Such a method is described, for example, in US-A-4,961,439. disadvantages of this method are numerous: it is painful for the consumer when the locks are removed from the cup and when the cap is removed; it is long and tedious to implement.

Selon une autre méthode, la mèche est placée sur une palette. Le produit est appliqué sur la mèche au moyen d'un pinceau. Les mèches sont laissées à l'air libre et séparées du reste de la chevelure par des mèches de coton placées à la racine des cheveux. Après le temps de pose adéquat, les cheveux sont lavés de manière conventionnelle. A nouveau, la méthode est longue et fastidieuse.According to another method, the wick is placed on a pallet. The product is applied to the wick by means of a brush. The wicks are left in the air free and separated from the rest of the hair by wicks of cotton placed at the hairline. After the proper exposure time, the hair is washed in a conventional way. Again, the method is long and tedious.

Il est également connu d'utiliser des peignes permettant de séparer des mèches de cheveux du reste d'une chevelure. Les brevets US 4,993,438, US 5,152,306 ou encore US 5,694,953 décrivent par exemple des peignes permettant d'isoler des mèches de cheveux. Toutefois, tous ces dispositifs nécessitent de maintenir les mèches isolées d'une main et d'appliquer le produit avec l'autre main ce qui n'est pas très commode.It is also known to use combs to separate wicks hair from the rest of a hair. U.S. Patents 4,993,438, US 5,152,306 or US 5,694,953 describe for example combs for isolating locks of hair. However, all these devices require keep the wicks isolated with one hand and apply the product with the other hand which is not very convenient.

Le brevet US 4 516 591 décrit un peigne pour appliquer du produit qui comporte une rangée de dents espacées deux à deux d'un même écartement constant tout au long de la rangée.US Patent 4,516,591 discloses a comb for applying product which comprises a row of teeth spaced two by two from the same constant spacing throughout the row.

Il existe un besoin pour faciliter encore la réalisation de mèches colorées ou éclaircies, par une personne seule notamment.There is a need to further facilitate the creation of colored locks or thinning, by a single person in particular.

Il existe également un besoin pour pouvoir colorer ou éclaircir des mèches d'une manière reproductible sur l'ensemble de la chevelure.There is also a need to be able to color or lighten wicks in a reproducible way on the whole of the hair.

Il existe encore un besoin pour pouvoir colorer ou éclaircir des mèches relativement rapidement.There is still a need to be able to color or lighten wicks relatively quickly.

L'invention a pour objet un dispositif d'application d'un produit fluide sur une chevelure comprenant :

  • un réservoir de produit ;
  • un peigne comportant au moins deux groupes de dents comprenant chacun au moins deux dents, l'écartement entre les deux groupes étant supérieur à l'écartement entre au moins deux dents adjacentes de chacun des groupes, chaque groupe de dents étant alimenté en produit par au moins un orifice de sortie du produit communiquant avec l'intérieur du réservoir, l'espace entre deux groupes étant essentiellement exempt de dents ou comportant des reliefs dont la longueur moyenne est inférieure à la longueur moyenne des dents des groupes de dents.
The subject of the invention is a device for applying a fluid product to a hair comprising:
  • a product tank;
  • a comb comprising at least two groups of teeth each comprising at least two teeth, the spacing between the two groups being greater than the spacing between at least two adjacent teeth of each of the groups, each group of teeth being supplied with product by means of at least one outlet of the product communicating with the interior of the tank, the space between two groups being essentially free of teeth or having reliefs whose average length is less than the average length of the teeth of the groups of teeth.

En particulier, si on trace une ligne passant par les extrémités libres de chacune des dents, les extrémités libres des reliefs sont situées en retrait de cette ligne.In particular, if we draw a line through the free ends of each teeth, the free ends of the reliefs are located behind this line.

Seuls les groupes de dents peuvent être alimentés en produit, les reliefs servant uniquement à peigner la chevelure. Only groups of teeth can be supplied with product, the reliefs used only to comb the hair.

Le traitement, notamment la coloration de ces mèches, s'en trouve facilité, puisque le produit est appliqué sur des mèches d'une chevelure en un seul geste.The treatment, in particular the coloring of these locks, is facilitated, since the product is applied to locks of a hair in one gesture.

De plus, l'invention permet de disposer d'un dispositif d'application de produit sur des mèches relativement peu coûteux à réaliser, commercialisé avec un récipient contenant une dose de produit pour une application sur une chevelure, le dispositif pouvant être accompagné de plusieurs récipients sous forme de recharge.In addition, the invention makes it possible to have a product application device on wicks relatively inexpensive to produce, marketed with a container containing a dose of product for application on a head of hair, the device may be accompanied by several containers in the form of refill.

En outre, les groupes de dents étant suffisamment séparés, l'utilisateur peut parfaitement identifier les parties du peigne qui permettent d'appliquer le produit et donc peut facilement positionner le peigne sur sa chevelure de manière à colorer ou décolorer les mèches qu'il souhaite.In addition, the groups of teeth being sufficiently separated, the user can perfectly identify the parts of the comb that make it possible to apply the product and therefore can easily position the comb on his hair so as to color or bleach the wicks he wants.

L'écartement entre les deux groupes peut être supérieur à l'écartement entre deux dents d'extrémité d'un groupe.The distance between the two groups may be greater than the distance between two end teeth of a group.

L'orifice de sortie du produit peut être situé entre deux dents d'un même groupe, de préférence à la base d'une dent. Alternativement, les dents peuvent être creuses et l'orifice peut être formé à une extrémité de la dent ou entre la base et l'extrémité de la dent. De préférence, on prévoit un orifice de sortie du produit entre chaque dent d'un même groupe.The outlet of the product can be located between two teeth of the same group, preferably at the base of a tooth. Alternatively, the teeth can be hollow and the orifice can be formed at one end of the tooth or between the base and the end of the tooth. Preferably, an outlet opening of the produced between each tooth of the same group.

Les dents comportent des extrémités qui peuvent se situer sensiblement sur une ligne concave vers l'extérieur, ayant de préférence une courbure sensiblement adaptée à celle du crâne.The teeth have ends that can be located substantially on a concave line towards the outside, preferably having a curvature substantially adapted to that of the skull.

Le peigne peut être fixé de manière amovible sur le récipient, notamment par vissage. On peut ainsi réutiliser un même peigne sur un nouveau flacon sous forme de recharge.The comb can be removably attached to the container, in particular by screwing. We can thus reuse the same comb on a new bottle under form of refill.

Le récipient peut comporter un axe longitudinal X parallèle à un plan contenant les dents et constituer un organe de préhension du peigne. The container may have a longitudinal axis X parallel to a plane containing the teeth and constitute a gripping member of the comb.

Le récipient peut comporter des parois élastiquement déformables. Cela facilite ainsi l'application du produit puisqu'il suffit à l'utilisateur d'appuyer plus ou moins fort sur les parois du flacon de manière à distribuer le produit.The container may comprise elastically deformable walls. It facilitates the application of the product since it is sufficient for the user to support more or less on the walls of the bottle to distribute the product.

Le récipient peut contenir un produit cosmétique. Le produit peut être un produit capillaire, notamment un produit de coloration ou de décoloration.The container may contain a cosmetic product. The product can be a product capillary, in particular a coloring or discoloration product.

L'invention consiste, mis à part les dispositions exposées ci-dessus, en un certain nombre d'autres dispositions qui seront explicitées ci-après, à propos d'exemples de réalisation non limitatifs, décrits en référence aux figures annexées, parmi lesquelles :

  • la figure 1 illustre une vue en perspective d'un dispositif d'application selon l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 représente la coupe II-II du dispositif d'application illustré à la figure 1 ;
  • la figure 3 illustre le dispositif d'application de la figure 1 en cours d'utilisation ; et
  • les figures 4 et 5 représentent des variantes du dispositif d'application selon l'invention.
The invention consists, apart from the arrangements set out above, in a certain number of other arrangements which will be explained below, with reference to nonlimiting exemplary embodiments, described with reference to the appended figures, among which:
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of an application device according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 shows the section II-II of the application device illustrated in Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 illustrates the application device of Figure 1 in use; and
  • Figures 4 and 5 show variants of the application device according to the invention.

Le dispositif représenté sur les figures 1 à 3 est destiné à appliquer un produit capillaire sur des mèches de cheveux, et en particulier un produit de coloration ou de décoloration. Le dispositif 10 comporte un réservoir de produit 20 sur lequel est fixé un peigne 30.The device shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is intended to apply a product capillary on locks of hair, and in particular a coloring product or discoloration. The device 10 comprises a product reservoir 20 on which is attached a comb 30.

Le réservoir de produit 20 est sous forme de flacon qui comporte un axe longitudinal X. Le flacon 20 comporte un corps 21 à parois flexibles surmonté d'un col 22 délimitant une ouverture 23. Le col 22 est fileté sur sa surface externe de manière à coopérer avec un filetage complémentaire prévu sur le peigne de manière à fixer le peigne sur le flacon. The product reservoir 20 is in the form of a bottle which comprises an axis longitudinal X. The bottle 20 comprises a body 21 with flexible walls topped a neck 22 defining an opening 23. The neck 22 is threaded on its surface to cooperate with a complementary thread provided on the comb so as to fix the comb on the bottle.

Le flacon 20 contient le produit à appliquer. Il fait également office de manche pour le peigne. Il a donc de préférence une forme ergonomique qui lui permet d'être facilement tenu dans une main.The bottle 20 contains the product to be applied. It also acts as a leg for the comb. It therefore preferably has an ergonomic shape that allows it to be easily held in one hand.

Le peigne 30 comporte un support 31 de forme générale allongée, avec une légère courbure formée dans un plan P. Le peigne comporte une rangée de dents 32 qui s'étendent depuis le côté concave du support 31 et qui sont contenues dans le plan P. Selon une variante non représentée, on peut prévoir que le peigne comporte deux ou plusieurs rangées de dents, les différentes rangées étant contenues dans des plans parallèles au plan P.The comb 30 comprises a support 31 of generally elongated shape, with a slight curvature formed in a plane P. The comb comprises a row of teeth 32 which extend from the concave side of the support 31 and which are contained in the plane P. According to a variant not shown, it is possible to provide that the comb has two or more rows of teeth, the different rows being contained in planes parallel to plane P.

Le support 31 comporte une première extrémité destinée à être fixée sur le flacon au moyen d'une bague 33, et une extrémité distale, opposée à la première. La bague 33 est munie d'un filetage 34 sur sa surface interne de manière à coopérer avec le col fileté du flacon pour fixer le peigne sur le flacon.The support 31 has a first end intended to be fixed on the bottle by means of a ring 33, and a distal end, opposite to the first. The ring 33 is provided with a thread 34 on its inner surface of in order to cooperate with the threaded neck of the bottle to fix the comb on the bottle.

Pour améliorer encore l'ergonomie du dispositif, le support 31 peut comporter un coude 31 a entre la bague 33 et la partie du support depuis laquelle s'étendent les dents, comme on l'a représenté à la figure 4.To further improve the ergonomics of the device, the support 31 may comprise a bend 31a between the ring 33 and the part of the support from which extend the teeth, as shown in Figure 4.

Le support 31 est traversé par un canal 35 qui débouche, d'une part, au niveau de la bague de fixation 33 de manière à communiquer avec l'intérieur du flacon et, d'autre part, à proximité des dents 32, par des orifices 36, afin d'alimenter les dents en produit.The support 31 is crossed by a channel 35 which leads, on the one hand, to the level of the fixing ring 33 so as to communicate with the inside of the bottle and, on the other hand, near the teeth 32, by orifices 36, in order to feed the teeth produce.

Selon l'exemple représenté, la rangée de dents est formée de trois groupes 37 de quatre dents 32, réparties le long du support 31. Les orifices 36 de sortie du produit sont situés entre deux dents 32 consécutives d'un même groupe 37, à proximité de la base de chaque dent. En variante, on peut prévoir que chaque groupe 37 n'est muni que d'un seul orifice 36. L'orifice 36 est alors situé par exemple entre les deux dents centrales du groupe.According to the example shown, the row of teeth is formed of three groups 37 of four teeth 32, distributed along the support 31. The orifices 36 of the outlet of the product are located between two consecutive teeth 32 of the same group 37, to near the base of each tooth. Alternatively, it can be expected that each group 37 is provided with only one orifice 36. The orifice 36 is then located by example between the two central teeth of the group.

Les dents 32 de chaque groupe 37 sont, dans l'exemple considéré, chacune d'axe longitudinal sensiblement rectiligne. Ces dents 32 présentent, lorsqu'elles sont observées dans le plan P contenant la rangée de dents, des côtés opposés 32a et 32b sensiblement parallèles ou convergeant légèrement en direction de l'extrémité libre 32c des dents correspondantes.The teeth 32 of each group 37 are, in the example under consideration, each longitudinal axis substantially rectilinear. These teeth 32 have, when they are observed in the plane P containing the row of teeth, sides opposed 32a and 32b substantially parallel or converging slightly in direction of the free end 32c of the corresponding teeth.

Toutes les dents 32 ayant une longueur sensiblement identique, leurs extrémités libres 32c se situent sensiblement le long d'une ligne A, parallèle au support 31, la ligne étant concave vers l'extérieur, de courbure adaptée à celle du crâne.All the teeth 32 having a substantially identical length, their free ends 32c are located substantially along a line A parallel to the support 31, the line being concave towards the outside, of curvature adapted to that of the skull.

Dans l'exemple illustré, deux groupes 37 de dents sont séparés d'un premier espace e1, mesuré entre deux dents adjacentes 32, c'est-à-dire consécutives, appartenant respectivement à deux groupes 37 adjacents. Cet espace e1 est exempt de tout relief. En outre, aucun orifice de sortie n'est prévu dans cet espace, à savoir entre les deux groupes de dents.In the illustrated example, two groups 37 of teeth are separated from a first space e 1 , measured between two adjacent teeth 32, that is to say consecutive, respectively belonging to two adjacent groups 37. This space e 1 is free of any relief. In addition, no outlet is provided in this space, namely between the two groups of teeth.

Au sein d'un même groupe 37, deux dents 32 adjacentes sont séparées d'un second espace e2.Within the same group 37, two adjacent teeth 32 are separated from a second space e 2 .

L'écartement e1 entre deux groupes 37 de dents est supérieur à l'écartement e2 entre deux dents adjacentes d'un même groupe, et de préférence, supérieur à l'écartement e3 entre deux dents d'extrémité d'un même groupe 37.The spacing e 1 between two groups 37 of teeth is greater than the spacing e 2 between two adjacent teeth of the same group, and preferably greater than the spacing e 3 between two end teeth of the same group 37.

L'écartement e1 entre deux groupes 37 de dents est choisi en fonction de la largeur que l'on veut obtenir entre deux mèches, ainsi éventuellement que de la nature des cheveux.The spacing e 1 between two groups 37 of teeth is chosen according to the width that is to be obtained between two locks, and possibly the nature of the hair.

Les groupes 37 de dents étant suffisamment séparés, l'utilisateur peut parfaitement identifier les parties du peigne qui permettent d'appliquer le produit et donc peut facilement positionner le peigne sur sa chevelure de manière à colorer ou décolorer les mèches qu'il souhaite.The groups 37 of teeth being sufficiently separated, the user can perfectly identify the parts of the comb that make it possible to apply the product and therefore can easily position the comb on his hair so as to color or bleach the wicks he wants.

Le dispositif 10 peut s'utiliser de la manière suivante, avec un produit, par exemple pour éclaircir ou colorer les cheveux. The device 10 can be used as follows, with a product, by example to lighten or color the hair.

L'utilisateur peut commencer à peigner la chevelure pour la lisser au moyen des dents 32 du peigne, sans appuyer sur les parois du flacon. Il peut ensuite appliquer de nouveau le peigne, comme illustré à la figure 3, en positionnant un groupe 37 de dents donné, par exemple celui situé à l'extrémité distale du peigne d'une manière repérée sur la tête.The user can start combing the hair to smooth it by means of teeth 32 of the comb, without pressing the walls of the bottle. He can then Re-apply the comb, as shown in Figure 3, by positioning a group 37 of teeth given, for example that located at the distal end of the comb in a way spotted on the head.

Il peut alors déplacer le dispositif depuis la racine des cheveux jusqu'à la pointe en appuyant en même temps sur les parois du flacon de manière à faire sortir le produit par les orifices 36 situés entre les dents 32 d'un même groupe de dents afin de l'appliquer sur les mèches de cheveux situées entre les dents d'extrémité d'un groupe de dents.He can then move the device from the hairline to the tip by pressing on the walls of the bottle at the same time produced by the orifices 36 located between the teeth 32 of the same group of teeth to apply it to the locks of hair between the teeth end of a group of teeth.

Selon l'exemple considéré, l'utilisateur réalise trois mèches simultanément. Le procédé peut être répété en décalant le peigne de façon à appliquer du produit sur d'autres mèches, l'utilisateur pouvant se repérer par rapport à une mèche déjà traitée. Cela peut permettre par exemple de traiter l'un des côtés gauche et droit de la même manière que l'autre côté.According to the example considered, the user realizes three locks simultaneously. The method can be repeated by shifting the comb so as to apply product on other locks, the user can identify with respect to a wick already treated. This may allow for example to treat one of the left and right in the same way as the other side.

Selon une variante représentée à la figure 5, le peigne comporte des reliefs 39 entre deux groupes 37 de dents consécutifs. Les reliefs ont par exemple la même forme de dents que les dents 32, mais elles sont plus petites, leurs extrémités 39a étant en retrait par rapport aux extrémités 32c des dents 32. Ces dents 39 ont pour unique fonction de peigner la chevelure, aucun orifice n'étant prévu pour alimenter ces dents 39 en produit de manière à ce que le peigne ne puisse appliquer du produit que sur des mèches de cheveux suffisamment espacées. L'écartement entre deux dents 39 adjacentes peut être identique à l'écartement entre deux dents 32 adjacentes, ou peut être différent, les dents 39 pouvant être plus espacées entre elles que les dents 32 comme dans l'exemple illustré à la figure 5.According to a variant shown in FIG. 5, the comb comprises reliefs 39 between two groups 37 of consecutive teeth. The reliefs have for example the same form of teeth as teeth 32, but they are smaller, their ends 39a being recessed with respect to the ends 32c of the teeth 32. These teeth 39 have the sole function of combing the hair, no orifice being provided for feeding these teeth 39 into product so that the comb can apply the product only on locks of hair sufficiently spaced. The spacing between two adjacent teeth 39 can be identical to the spacing between two adjacent teeth 32, or may be different, the teeth 39 being more spaced apart than the teeth 32 as in the example shown in Figure 5.

Là encore, l'utilisateur peut parfaitement identifier les parties du peigne qui permettent d'appliquer le produit et donc peut facilement positionner le peigne sur sa chevelure de manière à colorer ou décolorer les mèches qu'il souhaite. Again, the user can perfectly identify the parts of the comb that allow to apply the product and therefore can easily position the comb on his hair so as to color or discolor the locks he wants.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples qui viennent d'être décrits.Of course, the invention is not limited to the examples that have just been described.

Les dents peuvent notamment présenter des formes autres que celles illustrées, en particulier comporter des reliefs destinés à accrocher davantage les cheveux.In particular, the teeth may have shapes other than those illustrated, in particular with reliefs intended to hang more the hair.

De même, l'écartement entre les dents d'un même groupe peut être constant mais on ne sort pas du cadre de la présente invention lorsque l'écartement varie lorsque l'on se déplace le long du support.Similarly, the spacing between the teeth of the same group can be constant but it is not beyond the scope of the present invention when the spacing varies when moving along the support.

Dans toute la description, y compris les revendications, l'expression « comportant un » devra être comprise comme signifiant « comportant au moins un », sauf si le contraire est spécifié.Throughout the description, including the claims, the expression "Comprising one" shall be understood as meaning "comprising at least a ", unless the opposite is specified.
