Definitions

  • the present invention relates to applicators for applying a product, in particular a cosmetic product, and packaging and application devices comprising such applicators.
  • the invention relates more particularly to applicators for applying a product to keratinous fibers, in particular eyelashes or eyebrows, for example mascara.
  • the mascara applicators retain a sufficient amount of product so that it is not necessary to recharge them too often during application. Moreover, these applicators must make it possible to grasp the lashes, to separate them, to lengthen them and / or to bend them, according to the type of makeup desired.
  • Patent is known US 3,998,235,235 and US 5,722,436 applicators having application elements whose spacing can be adjusted by the user.
  • the spacing between the application elements is modified by the application of a compressive force along the longitudinal axis of the applicator.
  • the deformable portion deforming radially can cause the deformation of the applicator member.
  • the applicator member is attached to the deformable portion of the support, which can make it easy to manufacture several devices having identical supports but different application members.
  • the user can, thanks to the adjustment element, gradually change the shape and curvature of the application member.
  • the applicator can be adjusted according to the makeup that one wishes to achieve. By adjusting the outer section of the applicator member, it is possible to act on the amount of product that the applicator loads.
  • the applicator member can easily be made if desired so as to substantially prevent the product from reaching the deformable portion.
  • the applicator member can advantageously be made without longitudinal slots.
  • the adjustment element can be rotatable relative to the support.
  • the support and the adjustment element can cooperate by screwing.
  • the adjusting element may in particular comprise a thread capable of cooperating with a complementary thread formed on the support.
  • the support may comprise, for example, an internal threaded surface at the first end or alternatively at a support gripping member.
  • the adjusting element may comprise a control member which projects out of the support.
  • the control member may project out of the support at the second end or alternatively at a support member of the support.
  • the control member may be fixed removably or not on the support member of the support.
  • the control member may be configured to be screwed on the gripping member, or alternatively to be snapped onto the gripping member or to be held by friction.
  • the control member may be rotatable relative to the gripping member and / or movable relative to the gripping member parallel to a longitudinal axis of the applicator.
  • the adjustment element may comprise a rod that is not entirely symmetrical in revolution and is fixed in a corresponding housing of the control member.
  • the rod may for example be of polygonal cross section, square or other. The rotational drive of the control member can thus cause the rotation of the adjusting member.
  • the deformable portion of the support may comprise at least one longitudinally extending lamella, and preferably a plurality of lamellae, the latter being for example equidistributed around the longitudinal axis of the support.
  • the slats can for example be four in number.
  • the slats may have at rest a cylinder portion shape.
  • the deformable portion of the support can thus have at rest a substantially circular outer cross section, but it is not beyond the scope of the present invention if the deformable portion of the support has a cross section of different shape, for example polygonal.
  • the slats may have at rest an outwardly curved shape, promoting their elastic deformation radially outwardly, or alternatively an inwardly curved shape, favoring their elastic deformation radially inwards.
  • the support may comprise a shoulder on which the applicator member can bear when the spacing between the first and second ends decreases.
  • the applicator member may be molded in one piece from an elastically deformable material.
  • the applicator member may be made of elastomer or of any other elastic material allowing compression and radial expansion of the applicator member.
  • the applicator member may for example comprise a cylindrical hollow body, for example elastomer, having externally circular or polygonal ribs, or injected bristles, molded with the body or not.
  • the deformation of the deformable portion may allow to act on the spacing between the ends of the application elements, so as to adjust the amount of product retained on the application member and distributed.
  • the applicator member may have an envelope surface, when undeformed, of cross-section chosen from the following nonlimiting list: polygonal, in particular square or triangular, circular.
  • the applicator member may have an envelope surface passing through an extremum, in particular a maximum, between its axial ends, when it is not deformed.
  • the application member comprises a plurality of application elements engaged on the support, for example a plurality of disks.
  • the plurality of disks may have larger diameter disks alternating with smaller diameter disks.
  • the larger diameter discs may have, when in place on the support, a diameter increasing and decreasing when moving along the longitudinal axis of the support.
  • disk should be understood in a broad sense. “Disk” means any substantially flattened element having a thickness less than its two other dimensions. A disc is not necessarily circular or completely flat.
  • the disks of the plurality of disks may have planar, frustoconical, concave and / or convex faces, the opposite faces of a disk being identical or different.
  • At least one application element for example a disk of the aforesaid plurality of disks, may comprise an elastically deformable spacing means applying against an adjacent applicator element and allowing the application element to be brought together with the adjacent applicator element when the spacing between the first and the second end decreases.
  • the support and the applicator member may be at least partially made of the same material, in particular an elastomeric material. At least one of the support and the applicator member can be made at least partially in a material chosen from thermoplastic resins or metals, such as stainless steel for example.
  • the support may comprise a gripping member at one end of the rod.
  • the gripping member may constitute a closure cap of a container containing the product to be applied.
  • the largest transverse dimension of the applicator member may vary by a certain factor when the deformable portion changes from a state of zero deformation to a state of maximum deformation. This factor must not exceed the limit of irreversibility of deformation of the material. This factor can be for example between 1 and 1.25 for a thermoplastic material.
  • the maximum distance between the first and the second end may be for example between 0 and 35 mm.
  • the minimum distance between the first and the second end may be for example between 0 and 26 mm.
  • the deformable portion may advantageously be made monolithically with the rod, for example by molding.
