Abstract

The strip has a convex cut part (3) forming a gripping tab at an end (2) of a rectangular part (4) for stripping the strip. A rectangular active zone (A) contacts with a wax layer previously placed on skin or on the strip, and a neutral zone (N) constituted by the tab. The tab has a width lower than that of the strip and symmetrically formed on both sides of a longitudinal axis (XX`). The strip is made of polyester or polypropylene. An independent claim is also included for utilization of a cutting tool for obtaining several depilatory strips.

Description

La présente invention concerne une bande pour l'épilation d'une partie du corps avec de la cire à épiler.The present invention relates to a band for depilating a body part with depilatory wax.

Ce type de bande connu est destiné à être appliqué puis ôté par arrachement sur une zone de peau recouverte préalablement d'une couche de cire à épiler.This type of known band is intended to be applied and removed by tearing on a skin area previously covered with a layer of wax depilatory.

L'invention se rapporte également à un autre type de bande sur une face de laquelle a été préalablement déposée une cire à épiler.The invention also relates to another type of strip on one side of which has previously been deposited a wax depilatory.

De manière connue, les bandes du premier type précité sont destinées à être appliquées sur une cire préalablement appliquée sur la peau à l'état fondue, puis une fois la cire durdie et après refroidissement, les bandes sont arrachées avec les poils.In known manner, the strips of the aforementioned first type are intended to be applied to a wax previously applied to the skin in the molten state, then once the wax is hardened and after cooling, the strips are torn off with the bristles.

Les bandes de ce type, mais également celles du second type sur lesquelles est prélablement appliquée la cire, sont généralement de forme rectangulaire.The bands of this type, but also those of the second type on which the wax is first applied, are generally of rectangular shape.

L'expérience a toujours démontré que cela présentait un inconvénient incontournable au moment de l'arrachement.Experience has always shown that this has an unavoidable drawback at the time of tearing.

En effet, on comprend aisément que l'adhésion de la surface complète de la bande sur la cire ne permet pas une préhension aisée de ladite bande en vue de son arrachement.Indeed, it is easy to understand that the adhesion of the entire surface of the strip on the wax does not allow easy gripping of said strip for tearing.

De plus, du fait de la forme quadrangulaire de la bande, il n'est pas aisé de soulever une de ses parties latérales en vue de l'arrachement.In addition, because of the quadrangular shape of the strip, it is not easy to lift one of its lateral parts for tearing.

Le travail de l'esthéticienne n'est donc pas facilité car elle doit procéder par tatonnements et souvent s'y reprendre à plusieurs reprises pour bien saisir la bande.The work of the beautician is therefore not easy because it must proceed by saring and often take it several times to seize the band.

De plus, si la préhension de la bande s'effectue par l'un de ses angles, il n'est pas obtenu un arrachement selon des forces équilibrées, ce qui peut provoquer des douleurs au sujet en cours d'épilation.In addition, if the gripping of the band is effected by one of its angles, it is not obtained tearing according to balanced forces, which can cause pain to the subject during epilation.

Un autre type de bande est connu par le document FR-A-805243 .Another type of tape is known from the document FR-A-805 243 .

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients et concerne à cet effet une bande dépilatoire du type destinée à être appliquée puis arrachée sur une zone de peau recouverte d'une couche de cire à épiler préalablement déposée sur la peau ou sur la bande, caractérisée en ce qu'elle comporte à l'une au moins de ses extrémités, une partie découpée convexe formant une languette de préhension.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and concerns for this purpose a depilatory band of the type intended to be applied and then torn off a skin area covered with a layer of wax depilatory previously deposited on the skin or on the strip , characterized in that it comprises at least one of its ends, a convex cut portion forming a gripping tab.

Ceci permet d'obtenir un arrachement plus aisé et équilibré de la bande dépilatoire.This makes it possible to obtain an easier and balanced tearing of the depilatory band.

La présente invention concerne également les caractéristiques qui ressortiront au cours de la description qui va suivre, et qui devront être considérées isolément ou selon toutes leurs combinaisons techniques possibles.The present invention also relates to features that will emerge during the course of the description which will follow, and which will have to be considered in isolation or in all their possible technical combinations.

Cette description donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, fera mieux comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

  • La figure 1 représente une vue en plan d'une bande d'épilation selon un premier exemple de réalisation de l'invention.
  • La figure 2 représente une vue en plan d'une bande d'épilation selon un second exemple de réalisation de l'invention.
  • La figure 3 représente un outil de découpe de bandes d'épilation selon l'exemple de la figure 2.
This description given by way of nonlimiting example, will better understand how the invention can be made with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 represents a plan view of an epilation strip according to a first embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 2 represents a plan view of an epilation strip according to a second exemplary embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 3 represents a tool for cutting epilation strips according to the example of FIG. 2.

La bande d'épilation 1 désignée globalement sur la figure 1 peut être du type destinée à être appliquée puis arrachée sur une zone de peau recouverte d'une couche de cire à épiler, mais elle peut également être destinée à recevoir elle-même une couche de cire, préalablement à sa pose.The epilation strip 1 generally designated in FIG. 1 may be of the type intended to be applied and then torn off from a skin zone covered with a layer of depilatory wax, but it may also be intended to receive a layer itself. of wax, prior to its installation.

D'une manière générale, elle comporte selon l'invention, à l'une de ses extrémités 2, une partie découpée convexe 3 formant une languette de préhension.In general, it comprises according to the invention, at one of its ends 2, a convex cut portion 3 forming a gripping tab.

Comme le montre la figure 1, cette languette de préhension 3 s'inscrit dans un rectangle 4 et forme au moins l'une des extrémités de celui-ci dans le sens de la longueur.As shown in Figure 1, this gripping tongue 3 is in a rectangle 4 and forms at least one end thereof in the direction of the length.

La bande 1 se décompose en une zone active A globalement rectangulaire destinée à être mise en contact avec la cire préalablement déposée sur la peau ou directement sur la bande 1A, et en une zone neutre N constituée par la languette de préhension 3.The strip 1 is broken down into a generally rectangular active area A intended to be brought into contact with the wax previously deposited on the skin or directly on the strip 1A, and in a neutral zone N constituted by the gripping tab 3.

Selon l'exemple de réalisation de la figure 1, la languette de préhension 3 est globalement de forme arrondie, de largeur 1 inférieure à celle L de la bande 1 et réalisée symétriquement de part et d'autre de son axe longitudinal XX'.According to the embodiment of Figure 1, the gripping tongue 3 is generally rounded in shape, of width 1 less than that of the band 1 and made symmetrically on either side of its longitudinal axis XX '.

Bien entendu, toute autre forme de la languette peut être imaginée, comme celle de la languette 3A selon la figure 2 qui est de forme globalement rectangulaire à angles arrondis.Of course, any other form of the tongue can be imagined, such as that of the tongue 3A according to Figure 2 which is of generally rectangular shape with rounded corners.

Quelque soit la forme retenue, du fait du positionnement central de la languette et de sa forme, la préhension de cette languette est immédiate et sûre pour permettre un arrachement équilibré, évitant de plus de s'y prendre à plusieurs reprises.Whatever the shape retained, because of the central positioning of the tongue and its shape, the gripping of this tongue is immediate and safe to allow a balanced tearing, avoiding more to do it repeatedly.

Selon une première possibilité, la bande 1 ou 1A est réalisée dans un matériau non tissé comme par exemple de la viscose, du polyester, du polypropylène, du polyester.According to a first possibility, the strip 1 or 1A is made of a nonwoven material such as, for example, viscose, polyester, polypropylene or polyester.

Selon une seconde possibilité, la bande 1 ou 1A est réalisée dans un matériau tissé pouvant être de toute matière, comme le coton par exemple.According to a second possibility, the strip 1 or 1A is made of a woven material that can be of any material, such as cotton for example.

Selon une autre possibilité encore, la bande 1 ou 1A est réalisée dans un matériau plastique tel que le polypropylène, le polyéthylène, la cellophane.According to another possibility, the band 1 or 1A is made of a plastic material such as polypropylene, polyethylene, cellophane.

Il faut également citer dans les avantages, le fait que la présence de la languette, et surtout sa forme lui permettant de se distinguer du reste de la bande, permet la localisation immédiate de l'endroit à préhender, et tirer d'un seul coup avec un précision du geste et une efficacité certaine.It should also be mentioned in the advantages, the fact that the presence of the tongue, and especially its shape allowing it to distinguish itself from the rest of the band, allows the immediate location of the place to prehend, and shoot at once with a precision of the gesture and a certain efficiency.

La bande d'épilation 1 ou 1A peut être obtenue individuellement par découpe par l'intermédiaire d'un outil de forme correspondante (non représenté).The epilation strip 1 or 1A can be obtained individually by cutting through a corresponding shaped tool (not shown).

Elle peut également être obtenue par l'intermédiaire d'un outil de découpe 5 pour l'obtention simultanée d'une pluralité de bandes 1 ou 1A.It can also be obtained by means of a cutting tool 5 for simultaneously obtaining a plurality of strips 1 or 1A.

Comme le montre la figure 3, l'outil de découpe 5 comporte une ou plusieurs empreintes 6 correspondant à une série I de bandes 1A par exemple, qui peuvent avoir des largeurs et des formes différentes, disposées côte à côte et dirigées dans le même sens S, et à une série II de bandes 1A disposées également côte à côte, mais dirigées dans le sens contraire S1 qui sont décalées d'un demi pas ou d'une demi largeur de bande 1/2P, de manière à ce que les languettes 3A d'une série I soient imbriquées dans celles de l'autre série II, l'une quelconque des languettes 3A d'une série I étant formée par les demi côtés a, b de deux languettes 3A de deux bandes successives 1A de l'autre série II en vis-à-vis.As shown in FIG. 3, the cutting tool 5 comprises one or more impressions 6 corresponding to a series I of strips 1A for example, which may have different widths and shapes, arranged side by side and directed in the same direction. S, and to a series II of strips 1A also arranged side by side, but directed in the opposite direction S1 which are offset by half a step or half of a bandwidth 1 / 2P, so that the tabs 3A of a series I are nested in those of the other series II, any one of the tabs 3A of a series I being formed by the half-sides a, b of two tabs 3A of two successive bands 1A of the other series II vis-à-vis.

Un tel outil permet de réaliser des bandes d'épilation selon l'invention avec une chute minimum, donc avec une économie de matière très importante, d'autant plus que la zone entourant la languette et constitutive d'une chute serait de toute façon une zone inutile car elle ne doit pas être en contact avec la cire afin précisément de permettre une préhension aisée.Such a tool makes it possible to achieve epilation strips according to the invention with a minimum drop, so with a very significant saving of material, especially since the area surrounding the tongue and constituting a fall would be anyway a unnecessary area because it must not be in contact with the wax to precisely allow easy grip.
