Abstract

The device has an opening (20) surrounded by a concave support surface (30) which is supported on an eyelid and is delimited by an upper edge (16) of a neck (15). The edge has a tangent, at the level of a hollow portion, making an angle greater than 45 degrees with a longitudinal axis of the neck. The neck emerges through the opening to apply an eyeliner composition in the form of a line determined by the shape of the opening. An independent claim is also included for a method for make-up of an eyelid.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de conditionnement et d'application d'un produit configuré pour appliquer un produit cosmétique sur la peau.The present invention relates to a device for packaging and applying a product configured to apply a cosmetic product to the skin.

Par produit cosmétique, on entend un produit tel que défini dans la directive 93/ 35/ CEE du Conseil du 14 juin 1993, modifiant pour la sixième fois la directive 76/ 768/ CEE."Cosmetic product" means a product as defined in Council Directive 93/35 / EEC of 14 June 1993, amending for the sixth time Directive 76/768 / EEC.

Le produit appliqué grâce au dispositif de l'invention est de préférence fluide, et notamment liquide ou pâteux.The product applied by the device of the invention is preferably fluid, and in particular liquid or pasty.

En particulier, l'invention concerne un dispositif pour appliquer un produit de maquillage sous forme d'un motif tel qu'un trait, notamment sur le bord des paupières, le produit pouvant être une composition cosmétique d'eye-liner. De telles compositions sont appliquées sur le bord des paupières sous forme de couche mince conduisant à la formation d'un film après séchage.In particular, the invention relates to a device for applying a makeup product in the form of a pattern such as a line, in particular on the edge of the eyelids, the product possibly being a cosmetic eyeliner composition. Such compositions are applied to the edge of the eyelids as a thin layer leading to the formation of a film after drying.

Pour tracer un trait sur le bord des paupières, il est connu d'utiliser des crayons de maquillage. Il est également connu d'utiliser des dispositifs qui comportent un réservoir contenant un produit liquide et un applicateur équipé d'un élément d'application souple pour appliquer le produit. De tels dispositifs sont par exemple décrits dans les demandes de brevet FR-A-2 633 256, FR-A-2 412 287 ou encore US4370989. Dans ce type de dispositif, l'élément d'application est formé d'une pointe qui peut être floquée ou en feutre de manière à retenir du produit, ou encore d'une pointe qui comporte des rainures capillaires permettant également de retenir du produit. L'élément d'application peut également être sous la forme d'un pinceau. En position de fermeture du dispositif, les applicateurs sont plongés dans le réservoir afin de se charger en produit. La pointe peut encore être alimentée par le produit provenant du récipient en comprimant les parois du récipient. Pour tracer un trait sur sa paupière, l'utilisatrice applique la pointe chargée en produit d'un côté de la paupière en la déplaçant jusqu'à l'autre extrémité de manière à tracer un trait de la même manière qu'avec un crayon.To draw a line on the edge of the eyelids, it is known to use make-up pencils. It is also known to use devices which comprise a reservoir containing a liquid product and an applicator equipped with a flexible application element for applying the product. Such devices are for example described in patent applications FR-A-2,633,256, FR-A-2,412,287 or US Pat. In this type of device, the application element is formed of a tip that can be flocked or felt so as to retain product, or a tip that has capillary grooves also for retaining product. The application element can also be in the form of a brush. In the closed position of the device, the applicators are immersed in the reservoir in order to load product. The tip can still be fed by the product from the container by compressing the walls of the container. To draw a line on her eyelid, the user applies the tip loaded product on one side of the eyelid by moving it to the other end so as to draw a line in the same way as with a pencil.

Toutefois, avec de tels éléments d'application, il est très difficile de tracer un trait régulier, notamment d'une épaisseur constante sur toute la longueur du trait. En effet, l'utilisatrice a tendance à appuyer plus ou moins fort sur la pointe lorsqu'elle dessine le trait de sorte que la pointe s'écrase plus ou moins sur la paupière. Par conséquent, la largeur de la pointe appliquée sur la paupière, et donc celle du trait tracé, varient. Dans le cas d'un pinceau, il est également très difficile d'obtenir un trait fin qui soit régulier.However, with such application elements, it is very difficult to draw a regular line, including a constant thickness along the entire length of the line. Indeed, the user tends to press more or less strongly on the tip when drawing the line so that the tip crashes more or less on the eyelid. Consequently, the width of the point applied on the eyelid, and therefore that of the drawn line, vary. In the case of a brush, it is also very difficult to obtain a fine line that is regular.

En outre, il est également très difficile de tracer un trait identique sur les deux paupières car l'utilisatrice n'effectue pas tout à fait le même geste pour tracer un trait sur les deux paupières. Elle est en effet obligée, soit de changer de main pour chaque paupière ce qui la conduit à utiliser l'une des mains avec laquelle elle est moins habile, soit d'utiliser la même main pour les deux paupières et d'effectuer deux mouvements différents. Là encore, en effectuant un geste différent pour chaque paupière, l'utilisatrice aura tendance à ne pas appuyer de la même façon sur la pointe ou sur le pinceau pour les deux paupières.In addition, it is also very difficult to draw an identical line on both eyelids because the user does not quite the same gesture to draw a line on both eyelids. She is forced to change hands for each eyelid which leads her to use one of the hands with which she is less skilled, or to use the same hand for both eyelids and perform two different movements . Again, by performing a different gesture for each eyelid, the user will tend not to press the same way on the tip or the brush for both eyelids.

D'autre part, la paupière étant une surface très souple, elle a tendance à se plisser lorsque l'on déplace la pointe de l'applicateur avec suffisamment de pression pour déposer le produit. Il est alors très difficile de faire un trait continu sur une surface plissée.On the other hand, the eyelid is a very flexible surface, it tends to crease when moving the tip of the applicator with enough pressure to deposit the product. It is then very difficult to make a continuous line on a pleated surface.

D'autres types d'applicateurs ont été décrits pour appliquer des compositions d'eye-liner sur les paupières selon une autre gestuelle.Other types of applicators have been described for applying eyeliner compositions on the eyelids according to another gesture.

Le document US 6,508,255 décrit par exemple un applicateur cosmétique apte à déposer du produit disponible sur un élément d'application sur une surface à enduire, et notamment sur une paupière. L'élément d'application est flexible et s'étend entre deux bras portés par un manche. L'élément d'application définit une surface d'application qui s'applique directement sur la paupière en se déformant de manière à dessiner l'ensemble du trait lors d'une seule application.US 6,508,255 describes for example a cosmetic applicator capable of depositing the product available on an applicator element on a surface to be coated, and in particular on an eyelid. The applicator element is flexible and extends between two arms carried by a handle. The application element defines an application surface that applies directly on the eyelid by deforming to draw the entire line in a single application.

Le document US 5,937,873 décrit un applicateur d'un produit cosmétique destiné à appliquer le produit sur une surface à enduire à la manière d'un tampon. La surface d'application de l'applicateur est de forme convexe. La surface d'application est alimentée en produit, soit en prélevant le produit dans une réserve de produit, soit par des canaux d'alimentation qui débouchent sur la surface d'application et qui proviennent d'une réserve de produit connectée à l'applicateur. La surface d'application enduite s'applique sur la surface à enduire en faisant pivoter l'applicateur sur la surface à enduire.US 5,937,873 discloses an applicator of a cosmetic product for applying the product to a surface to be coated in the manner of a tampon. The application surface of the applicator is of convex shape. The application surface is supplied with product, either by taking the product from a supply of product, or by supply channels that open onto the application surface and come from a supply of product connected to the applicator . The coated application surface is applied to the surface to be coated by rotating the applicator on the surface to be coated.

Le document US 6,601,591 décrit un applicateur d'un produit cosmétique qui applique un produit, après l'avoir prélevé, à la manière d'un tampon. L'applicateur comporte plusieurs surfaces d'application de forme différente de façon à s'adapter à différentes surfaces à enduire.US 6,601,591 discloses an applicator of a cosmetic product that applies a product, after having taken, in the manner of a buffer. The applicator has several application surfaces of different shape so as to adapt to different surfaces to be coated.

D'autre part, le document US2002/0007839 décrit un applicateur pour appliquer un surface de produit sur par exemple les lèvres ou les paupières. L'applicateur comporte un embout dont la surface d'extrémité est floquée et dans laquelle débouche un conduit d'amenée du produit de forme circulaire. Un tel applicateur n'est pas configuré pour appliquer un motif précis sur le bord d'une paupière.On the other hand, the document US2002 / 0007839 describes an applicator for applying a product surface to, for example, the lips or the eyelids. The applicator comprises a tip whose end surface is flocked and in which opens a conduit for supplying the product of circular shape. Such an applicator is not configured to apply a precise pattern on the edge of an eyelid.

Le document EP1 440 629 décrit aussi un applicateur de produit cosmétique dans lequel le produit est retenu par capillarité entre deux parois formant entre elles une cavité. La cavité débouche par deux fentes, l'une étant prévue pour permettre au produit de rentrer dans la cavité et l'autre, moins large, étant prévue pour distribuer le produit. L'applicateur est alimenté en produit, soit en prélevant le produit dans une réserve de produit, soit par un canal d'alimentation qui débouche à une extrémité des parois, et donc des fentes, et qui provient d'une réserve de produit connectée à l'applicateur. La cavité est ainsi chargée progressivement entre ses deux extrémités de sorte que le produit arrive progressivement le long de la fente d'application. Là encore, un tel applicateur n'est pas configuré pour appliquer un motif précis sur le bord d'une paupière.The document EP 1 440 629 also describes a cosmetic product applicator in which the product is retained by capillarity between two walls forming between them a cavity. The cavity opens with two slots, one being provided to allow the product to enter the cavity and the other, less wide, being provided to distribute the product. The applicator is supplied with product, either by taking the product from a supply of product, or by a feed channel which opens at one end of the walls, and therefore of the slits, and which comes from a supply of product connected to the applicator. The cavity is thus gradually loaded between its two ends so that the product arrives gradually along the application slot. The again, such an applicator is not configured to apply a precise pattern on the edge of an eyelid.

Aussi, est-ce un des objets de l'invention que de réaliser un dispositif d'application d'un produit de maquillage qui permette de dessiner un motif sur une paupière de façon rapide avec beaucoup de précision et avec un geste simple.Also, is it an object of the invention to provide a device for applying a makeup product that allows to draw a pattern on an eyelid quickly with great precision and with a simple gesture.

C'est également un autre objet de l'invention que de réaliser un tel dispositif permettant de dessiner un trait relativement fin qui soit régulier sur toute sa longueur.It is also another object of the invention to provide such a device for drawing a relatively thin line that is regular over its entire length.

C'est encore un objet de l'invention que de réaliser un dispositif qui permette de facilement dessiner des motifs de formes variées.It is another object of the invention to provide a device which makes it possible to easily draw patterns of various shapes.

Selon l'invention, ces objets peuvent être atteints en réalisant un dispositif de conditionnement et d'application d'un produit cosmétique, notamment un produit de maquillage des paupières, comportant un récipient contenant ledit produit, le récipient débouchant, via un passage d'amenée du produit, par au moins une ouverture entourée par une surface concave vers l'extérieur apte à venir en appui sur une surface à traiter, ladite surface d'appui étant délimitée par un bord extérieur continu de forme allongée, dont la tangente au niveau de la portion la plus creuse fait un angle supérieur à 45° avec l'axe longitudinal du passage d'amenée du produit, ladite ou lesdites ouverture(s) permettant l'application du produit sur une surface à traiter, sous forme d'au moins un motif déterminé.According to the invention, these objects can be achieved by providing a device for packaging and applying a cosmetic product, in particular an eyelid makeup product, comprising a container containing said product, the opening container, via a passage of supplied product, by at least one opening surrounded by a concave surface outwardly adapted to bear on a surface to be treated, said bearing surface being delimited by a continuous outer edge of elongated shape, whose tangent at the the most hollow portion is at an angle greater than 45 ° with the longitudinal axis of the feed passage of the product, said opening (s) allowing the application of the product on a surface to be treated, in the form of less a definite motive.

La concavité de la surface d'appui permet de stabiliser le dispositif sur la paupière avant de faire sortir le produit de sorte que l'utilisateur peut facilement faire sortir le produit sans faire bouger la surface d'appui sur la paupière. L'utilisateur peut en outre s'y prendre à plusieurs reprises pour correctement placer le dispositif sur la paupière avant de faire sortir du produit sans que du produit ne soit déposé sur la paupière.The concavity of the bearing surface makes it possible to stabilize the device on the eyelid before bringing out the product so that the user can easily pull the product out without moving the bearing surface on the eyelid. The user can also go several times to correctly place the device on the eyelid before leaving the product without the product is placed on the eyelid.

La tangente au bord extérieur, au niveau de la portion la plus creuse, faisant un angle supérieur à 45° avec l'axe longitudinal du passage d'amenée du produit, voire supérieur à 60° ou égal à 90°, le produit provenant du récipient via le passage d'amenée arrive sensiblement en même temps tout au long de l'ouverture entourée par le bord extérieur. On peut ainsi appliquer une quantité sensiblement uniforme tout au long de l'ouverture.The tangent to the outer edge, at the level of the hollowest portion, making an angle greater than 45 ° with the longitudinal axis of the feed passage of the product, or even greater than 60 ° or equal to 90 °, the product from the container via the feed passage arrives substantially at the same time throughout the opening surrounded by the outer edge. It is thus possible to apply a substantially uniform quantity throughout the opening.

Le motif peut être déterminé par la forme de l'ouverture. Le motif peut ainsi facilement être dessiné sur une paupière en un geste simple, à savoir en disposant la surface d'appui sur la paupière sans que l'utilisateur ait besoin de déplacer la surface d'appui relativement à la paupière puisque l'ouverture a la forme du motif à dessiner.The pattern can be determined by the shape of the opening. The pattern can easily be drawn on an eyelid in a simple gesture, namely by placing the bearing surface on the eyelid without the user having to move the bearing surface relative to the eyelid since the opening has the shape of the pattern to draw.

L'ouverture peut avoir une forme générale allongée. L'ouverture peut par exemple être sous forme d'une fente droite ou courbe, sous forme de vague ou sous forme de zigzag.The opening may have a generally elongated shape. The opening may for example be in the form of a straight or curved slot, in the form of a wave or in the form of a zigzag.

L'ouverture peut comporter une largeur constante sur toute sa longueur ou une largeur variable.The opening may have a constant width along its entire length or a variable width.

Le récipient peut déboucher par deux ouvertures allongées parallèles entre elles, les deux ouvertures pouvant être de forme identique ou différente.The container may open by two elongated openings parallel to each other, the two openings may be of identical or different shape.

Le récipient peut aussi déboucher par plusieurs ouvertures formées consécutivement selon une ligne qui peut être droite ou courbe. Les ouvertures peuvent avoir une section choisie parmi les sections circulaires, ovales, triangulaires, polygonales, en forme d'étoile. Toutes les ouvertures peuvent avoir une section identique. Alternativement, au moins deux des ouvertures peuvent avoir une section différente.The container may also lead through several openings formed consecutively along a line that may be straight or curved. The openings may have a section selected from circular, oval, triangular, polygonal, star-shaped sections. All openings may have an identical section. Alternatively, at least two of the openings may have a different section.

Le récipient peut être allongé selon un axe longitudinal X, l'(les)ouverture(s) étant formée(s) à une extrémité axiale du récipient. La surface d'appui peut être allongée selon un axe Y sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe X du récipient.The container may be elongate along a longitudinal axis X, the opening (s) being formed at an axial end of the container. The bearing surface may be elongated along an axis Y substantially perpendicular to the axis X of the container.

Le récipient peut comporter un corps à paroi déformable, notamment élastiquement déformable, de manière à réduire le volume interne du récipient afin de faire sortir le produit au travers de l'ouverture.The container may comprise a deformable wall body, in particular elastically deformable, so as to reduce the internal volume of the container in order to get the product out through the opening.

Le dispositif peut en outre comporter un organe d'application comportant une surface d'application, notamment concave, apte à traverser l'(les)ouverture(s) de manière à appliquer le produit sur la surface à traiter par contact, le(s) motif(s) étant déterminé(s) par le relief de la surface d'application. Là encore, le motif peut facilement être dessiné sur une paupière en un geste simple puisque la surface d'application de l'organe d'application a la forme du motif à dessiner.The device may further comprise an applicator member comprising an application surface, in particular a concave surface, capable of passing through the opening (s) so as to apply the product to the surface to be treated by contact, the ) pattern (s) being determined by the relief of the application surface. Again, the pattern can easily be drawn on an eyelid in a simple gesture since the application surface of the applicator member has the shape of the pattern to be drawn.

L'organe d'application peut être un organe poreux ou fibreux apte à absorber du produit et à le restituer au travers de l'(des) ouverture(s) sur la surface à traiter. L'organe d'application peut notamment être constitué d'un matériau choisi parmi les matériaux alvéolaires, notamment les mousses ou les frittés, et les fibres textiles.The applicator member may be a porous or fibrous member capable of absorbing product and returning it through the opening (s) on the surface to be treated. The application member may in particular be made of a material chosen from cellular materials, in particular foams or sintered, and textile fibers.

L'ensemble du produit peut être contenu dans l'organe d'application de sorte que l'on peut appliquer un produit relativement liquide sans risque de fuite du produit.The entire product may be contained in the applicator member so that a relatively liquid product can be applied without risk of leakage of the product.

L'organe d'application peut être fixé à l'intérieur du récipient.The applicator member may be attached to the interior of the container.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, la partie du récipient munie de la surface d'appui peut être mobile par rapport au reste du récipient, la partie mobile étant apte à coulisser relativement au reste du récipient en réponse à une contrainte exercée sur la surface d'appui de manière à s'enfoncer jusqu'à ce que la surface d'application de l'organe d'application traverse l'(les) ouverture(s). Le dispositif peut comporter des moyens de rappel élastique prévus pour ramener la partie mobile du récipient dans sa position initiale lorsque cesse la contrainte exercée sur la surface d'appui.According to a particular embodiment, the part of the container provided with the bearing surface may be movable relative to the remainder of the container, the movable part being able to slide relative to the remainder of the container in response to a stress exerted on the surface of the container. support so as to sink until the application surface of the applicator member passes through the (the) opening (s). The device may comprise resilient return means provided to return the movable portion of the container to its initial position when the stress exerted on the bearing surface ceases.

L'invention concerne également un procédé de maquillage de la peau qui comporte les étapes suivantes :

  • fournir un dispositif tel qu'il vient d'être décrit,
  • placer la surface d'appui sur la peau, notamment sur la paupière et en particulier sur le bord de la paupière,
  • faire sortir le produit au travers de l'ouverture afin de déposer le produit sur la peau sous forme d'un motif déterminé, notamment en déformant la paroi du corps du récipient pour faire sortir le produit ou en faisant coulisser la partie mobile du récipient relativement au reste du récipient pour que la surface d'application de l'organe d'application traverse l'(les) ouverture(s).
The invention also relates to a method for making up the skin which comprises the following steps:
  • provide a device as just described,
  • place the bearing surface on the skin, especially on the eyelid and in particular on the edge of the eyelid,
  • pushing the product through the opening in order to deposit the product on the skin in the form of a determined pattern, in particular by deforming the wall of the body of the container in order to release the product or by sliding the mobile part of the container relatively to the rest of the container so that the application surface of the applicator member passes through the opening (s).

On a représenté sur les figures 1 et 2 un exemple d'un dispositif de conditionnement et d'application 1 comportant un récipient 10 qui contient un produit cosmétique et en particulier un produit de maquillage, tel que par exemple une composition d'eye-liner, destinée à être appliquée sur le bord d'une paupière. La composition d'eye-liner peut être relativement pâteuse dans cet exemple.FIGS. 1 and 2 show an example of a packaging and application device 1 comprising a container 10 which contains a cosmetic product and in particular a makeup product, such as, for example, an eyeliner composition. , intended to be applied on the edge of an eyelid. The eyeliner composition may be relatively pasty in this example.

Selon ce premier mode de réalisation, le récipient 10 est sous la forme d'un tube qui comporte un corps 11, à paroi élastiquement déformable, allongé selon un axe longitudinal X dont la section transversale est sensiblement ovale. Le corps 11 est muni à une première extrémité axiale d'une tête de distribution 12. Le corps 11 est fermé à une deuxième extrémité axiale, opposée à la première, selon une ligne de fermeture 13 s'étendant sensiblement perpendiculairement à l'axe X. Le corps 11 est par exemple fermé à l'extrémité opposée à la tête de distribution 12 le long d'une ligne de fermeture 13.According to this first embodiment, the container 10 is in the form of a tube which comprises a body 11, with an elastically deformable wall, elongate along a longitudinal axis X whose cross section is substantially oval. The body 11 is provided at a first axial end with a dispensing head 12. The body 11 is closed at a second axial end, opposite the first, along a closure line 13 extending substantially perpendicular to the X axis The body 11 is for example closed at the end opposite to the dispensing head 12 along a closure line 13.

On ne sort pas du cadre de l'invention en réalisant un tube dont le corps peut avoir une section autre qu'ovale, notamment ronde, elliptique, polygonale, par exemple triangulaire ou carrée.It is not beyond the scope of the invention to provide a tube whose body may have a section other than oval, in particular round, elliptical, polygonal, for example triangular or square.

La tête de distribution 12 comporte un col 15 relié à la première extrémité axiale du corps par un épaulement 14, le col débouchant par une ouverture 20 permettant l'application du produit sur une paupière sous forme d'un motif déterminé par la forme de l'ouverture 20. Le col 15 forme ainsi un passage d'amenée du produit provenant du récipient vers l'ouverture 20. Le bord supérieur 16 du col qui entoure l'ouverture délimite en outre une surface d'appui 30 concave dont la fonction sera expliquée dans la suite de la description.The dispensing head 12 has a neck 15 connected to the first axial end of the body by a shoulder 14, the neck opening through an opening 20 for the application of the product on an eyelid in the form of a pattern determined by the shape of the 20. The neck 15 thus forms a feed passage for the product coming from the container towards the opening 20. The upper edge 16 of the neck which surrounds the opening delimits furthermore a concave bearing surface 30 whose function will be explained in the following description.

Selon l'exemple illustré à la figure 1, le col 15 comporte une paroi latérale qui s'étend de façon parallèle à l'axe X du récipient et dont la section transversale est allongée selon un axe Y, perpendiculaire à l'axe X. En particulier, la section transversale du col a deux grands côtés rectilignes, parallèles à l'axe Y, qui se rejoignent à leurs extrémités 17 par des bords arrondis. En variante, les deux grands côtés peuvent être incurvés comme on l'a illustré à la figure 9. En variante encore, le col 15 peut avoir une section transversale en forme d'amande ou encore en forme de demi lune comme on l'a illustré sur les figures 4 et 12. Il est bien évident que le col peut avoir une section transversale de toute autre forme.According to the example illustrated in Figure 1, the neck 15 has a side wall extending parallel to the axis X of the container and whose cross section is elongated along an axis Y, perpendicular to the axis X. In particular, the cross section of the neck has two large straight sides, parallel to the Y axis, which meet at their ends 17 by rounded edges. Alternatively, the two long sides may be curved as illustrated in Figure 9. Alternatively again, the neck 15 may have an almond-shaped cross section or a half moon shape as it has been illustrated in Figures 4 and 12. It is obvious that the neck may have a cross section of any other shape.

La hauteur du col 15 mesurée selon l'axe X varie entre deux maxima situés à chaque extrémité 17 des grands côtés de la paroi latérale du col en passant par un minimum situé au milieu des deux maxima de manière à former la surface d'appui 30 concave.The height of the neck 15 measured along the X axis varies between two maxima located at each end 17 of the long sides of the side wall of the neck. passing through a minimum located in the middle of the two maxima so as to form the concave bearing surface 30.

Dans l'exemple illustré à la figure 1, le col débouche par une ouverture unique 20, de forme allongée selon l'axe Y de manière à former une fente droite configurée pour dessiner un motif sous forme d'un trait droit. En particulier, la fente s'étend entre chaque extrémité 17 des grands côtés du col de manière à pouvoir dessiner un trait sur tout le bord d'une paupière. La fente 20 a par exemple une longueur comprise entre 25 et 35 mm. Alternativement, la fente peut s'étendre uniquement sur une partie de la section transversale du col, par exemple sur la moitié de sa section transversale comme on l'a illustré à la figure 8. Une telle fente permet de dessiner un trait sur la moitié de la paupière.In the example illustrated in Figure 1, the neck opens through a single opening 20, elongated along the Y axis to form a straight slot configured to draw a pattern in the form of a straight line. In particular, the slot extends between each end 17 of the long sides of the neck so as to draw a line on the entire edge of an eyelid. The slot 20 has for example a length of between 25 and 35 mm. Alternatively, the slot may extend only over a portion of the cross section of the neck, for example over half of its cross-section as illustrated in FIG. 8. Such a slot makes it possible to draw a line on the half of the eyelid.

Dans l'exemple illustré sur les figures 1 et 2, la fente comporte une largeur constante sur toute sa longueur. En variante, l'ouverture allongée peut comporter une largeur variable le long de sa longueur comme on l'a illustré à la figure 4.In the example illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, the slot has a constant width over its entire length. Alternatively, the elongated opening may have a variable width along its length as illustrated in FIG.

Selon d'autres variantes illustrées respectivement sur les figures 9, 10 et 11, l'ouverture allongée peut être sous forme d'une fente incurvée, sous forme de vague ou encore de zigzag.According to other variants illustrated respectively in Figures 9, 10 and 11, the elongate opening may be in the form of a curved slot in the form of wave or zigzag.

On peut aussi prévoir que le récipient débouche par plusieurs ouvertures. Il peut notamment déboucher par deux ouvertures allongées parallèles entre elles, par exemple par deux fentes droites comme on l'a représenté sur la figure 6. De telles ouvertures permettent de dessiner deux traits superposés sur la paupière. Selon l'exemple illustré, les deux fentes sont de forme identique mais elles pourraient également être de forme différente.It is also possible that the container opens through several openings. It may in particular lead to two elongated openings parallel to each other, for example by two straight slots as shown in FIG. 6. Such openings make it possible to draw two superimposed lines on the eyelid. According to the illustrated example, the two slots are of identical shape but they could also be of different shape.

Selon une autre variante, le récipient peut déboucher par plusieurs ouvertures s'étendant de façon consécutive selon une ligne. On peut par exemple prévoir une pluralité d'ouvertures de forme carrée alignées selon une ligne droite comme on l'a représenté sur la figure 5. On peut aussi prévoir une pluralité d'ouvertures en forme d'étoile comme on l'a illustré à la figure 7, alignées selon une ligne droite.According to another variant, the container may open by several openings extending consecutively along a line. For example, a plurality of square shaped openings aligned along a straight line may be provided as shown in FIG. a plurality of star-shaped openings as illustrated in Figure 7 aligned in a straight line.

La fente 20 peut être obturée de manière étanche par un capot 60 agencé pour se fixer par serrage sur la paroi externe du col 15.The slot 20 can be closed in a sealed manner by a cap 60 arranged to be fixed by clamping on the outer wall of the neck 15.

Pour réaliser le dispositif qui vient d'être décrit, on soude la tête 12 qui a par exemple été réalisée par injection de matière plastique à l'extrémité supérieure du corps 11 du tube qui lui, a été formé à partir d'une jupe cylindrique de matière plastique. Après avoir rempli le corps du récipient de la composition d'eye liner, on pince à chaud au moyen d'une mâchoire l'extrémité de la jupe opposée à la tête de distribution, de manière à souder la surface intérieure de la jupe sur elle-même pour réaliser la ligne de fermeture 13. De préférence, le tube est réalisé en polyéthylène ou un autre matériau thermoplastique similaire. De façon plus classique, il peut être réalisé en aluminium ou en étain. Dans ce dernier cas, le fond rectiligne est obtenu par pliage. Le corps 11, le cas échéant, peut être réalisé par une structure multicouche, par exemple, plastique/métal/plastique.To produce the device which has just been described, it welds the head 12 which has for example been made by injection of plastic material at the upper end of the body 11 of the tube which has been formed from a cylindrical skirt of plastic material. After having filled the body of the container with the eyeliner composition, the end of the skirt opposite the dispensing head is heat-clamped by means of a jaw, so as to weld the inner surface of the skirt on it. -Even to achieve the closure line 13. Preferably, the tube is made of polyethylene or other similar thermoplastic material. More conventionally, it can be made of aluminum or tin. In the latter case, the rectilinear bottom is obtained by folding. The body 11, if appropriate, can be made by a multilayer structure, for example plastic / metal / plastic.

Pour appliquer le produit sur la paupière, on place la surface d'appui concave 30 sur la paupière, comme on l'a illustré à la figure 2, à l'endroit où l'on souhaite dessiner un trait d'eye-liner. Le dispositif peut ainsi être stabilisé sur la paupière avant de faire sortir le produit. Dans cette position stable, on peut facilement faire sortir le produit. A cet effet, on appuie sur la paroi élastiquement déformable du corps 11 du tube afin de diminuer le volume de l'espace intérieur du corps 11 du tube et amener la composition d'eye-liner pâteuse contenue dans le tube 10 dans la fente et donc sur la paupière. La composition d'eye-liner sort ainsi du récipient sur toute la longueur de la fente de sorte qu'un trait est directement dessiné sur la paupière.To apply the product on the eyelid, the concave bearing surface 30 is placed on the eyelid, as illustrated in FIG. 2, where it is desired to draw a line of eyeliner. The device can thus be stabilized on the eyelid before bringing out the product. In this stable position, the product can easily be removed. For this purpose, the resiliently deformable wall of the body 11 of the tube is pressed in order to reduce the volume of the internal space of the body 11 of the tube and to bring the pasty eyeliner composition contained in the tube 10 into the slot and therefore on the eyelid. The eyeliner composition thus exits the container over the entire length of the slot so that a line is drawn directly on the eyelid.

Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation illustré à la figure 13, le dispositif 100 comporte un récipient 110 sous forme d'un flacon. Le récipient peut comporter un corps tubulaire 111 qui comporte, à une première extrémité, une paroi transversale 114 depuis laquelle s'étend un col 112 ouvert de section transversale circulaire. Le corps tubulaire est fermé à une seconde extrémité opposée à la première, par une paroi transversale formant un fond 113.According to a second embodiment illustrated in FIG. 13, the device 100 comprises a container 110 in the form of a bottle. The container may comprise a tubular body 111 which comprises, at a first end, a transverse wall 114 from which extends an open neck 112 of section circular cross. The tubular body is closed at a second end opposite the first, by a transverse wall forming a bottom 113.

Un embout 170 est prévu pour se fixer sur le col du flacon, par exemple par vissage ou encliquetage. A cet effet, l'embout comporte une jupe de fixation 171 prévue pour se fixer sur le col. L'embout comporte une paroi transversale 130 de forme concave dans laquelle est ménagée une ouverture sous forme d'une fente 120. La paroi transversale 130 forme une surface d'appui destinée à épouser la forme d'une paupière.A tip 170 is provided to attach to the neck of the bottle, for example by screwing or snapping. For this purpose, the tip has a fixing skirt 171 provided to be fixed on the neck. The tip comprises a transverse wall 130 of concave shape in which is formed an opening in the form of a slot 120. The transverse wall 130 forms a bearing surface designed to conform to the shape of an eyelid.

Comme dans le mode de réalisation précédent, l'embout peut avoir une section transversale de différentes sections. En outre, une ou plusieurs ouvertures telles que celles représentées sur les figures 3 à 12 peuvent être ménagées dans la paroi transversale 130.As in the previous embodiment, the tip may have a cross section of different sections. In addition, one or more openings such as those shown in Figures 3 to 12 may be formed in the transverse wall 130.

Un capuchon 160 peut en outre être prévu pour se fixer par encliquetage ou serrage sur l'embout afin d'obturer la fente. En variante, on peut prévoir d'utiliser un couvercle articulé sur l'embout par exemple par une charnière film ou par une charnière genouillère à effet ressort.A cap 160 may further be provided for snap-fitting or clamping on the mouthpiece to close the slot. Alternatively, one can provide to use a hinged lid on the tip for example by a film hinge or a hinge knee spring effect.

On a représenté sur les figures 14 à 16 un troisième mode de réalisation d'un dispositif de conditionnement et d'application 200 selon l'invention dans lequel le récipient 210 contient une composition d'eye-liner relativement liquide.FIGS. 14 to 16 show a third embodiment of a packaging and application device 200 according to the invention in which the container 210 contains a relatively liquid eyeliner composition.

Selon ce mode de réalisation, le récipient 210 comporte un corps 211 formé par une paroi rigide. Mais on ne sort pas du cadre de l'invention en réalisant un corps qui comprend une paroi déformable, même si la déformation n'est pas nécessaire pour faire sortir le produit.According to this embodiment, the container 210 comprises a body 211 formed by a rigid wall. But it is not beyond the scope of the invention to provide a body which comprises a deformable wall, even if the deformation is not necessary to remove the product.

Le corps 211 est allongé selon un axe longitudinal X dont la section transversale est sensiblement ovale. Le corps 211 est fermé à une première extrémité axiale par un fond 213 bombé vers l'extérieur. Le corps 211 est ouvert sur toute sa section à sa deuxième extrémité axiale, opposée à la première, de manière à recevoir une tête de distribution 212 qui, cette fois, est mobile par rapport au corps 211.The body 211 is elongate along a longitudinal axis X whose cross section is substantially oval. The body 211 is closed at a first axial end by a bottom 213 bulging outwards. The body 211 is open over its entire section at its second axial end, opposite to the first, of to receive a dispensing head 212 which, this time, is movable relative to the body 211.

La tête de distribution 212 comporte une jupe 215 constituant un passage d'amener du produit, de section sensiblement ovale, avec deux grands côtés rectilignes et parallèles entre eux. Le bord supérieur 216 de la jupe 215 forme une surface d'appui 230 concave, configurée pour épouser la forme d'une paupière. Le bord supérieur 216 délimite en outre une ouverture sous forme de fente 220 de largeur constante sur toute sa longueur.The dispensing head 212 has a skirt 215 constituting a product passage passage, of substantially oval section, with two large straight sides and parallel to each other. The upper edge 216 of the skirt 215 forms a concave bearing surface 230, configured to conform to the shape of an eyelid. The upper edge 216 further delimits an opening in the form of a slot 220 of constant width throughout its length.

Le bord inférieur de la jupe 215 est muni d'une lèvre 217 apte à coulisser le long de la paroi interne du corps 211. La tête de distribution 212 est maintenue à l'intérieur du corps grâce à un relief 218 prévu sur la paroi interne du corps 211, à sa seconde extrémité. L'enfoncement de la tête 212 est également limité par un rebord 219 formant butée, également formé sur la paroi interne du corps 211, à une distance suffisante du relief pour permettre à la tête de distribution de se déplacer de la distance souhaitée, comme on le verra dans la suite de la description.The lower edge of the skirt 215 is provided with a lip 217 slidable along the inner wall of the body 211. The dispensing head 212 is held inside the body by virtue of a relief 218 provided on the inner wall of the body 211, at its second end. The depression of the head 212 is also limited by a lip 219 forming a stop, also formed on the inner wall of the body 211, at a sufficient distance from the relief to allow the dispensing head to move the desired distance, as one will see it later in the description.

Des moyens de rappel élastique 240 sont en outre prévus pour, lorsque aucune contrainte n'est exercée sur la tête d'application, maintenir cette dernière en butée contre le relief 218. Selon l'exemple illustré, les moyens de rappel élastiques sont formés par deux lames élastiques 241 reliées respectivement à la tête de distribution 212 et au corps du récipient 210.Elastic return means 240 are further provided for, when no stress is exerted on the application head, to hold the latter in abutment against the relief 218. According to the illustrated example, the elastic return means are formed by two elastic blades 241 respectively connected to the dispensing head 212 and to the body of the container 210.

Le récipient 210 comporte en outre un organe d'application 250 apte à absorber le produit liquide et à le restituer sur la paupière par contact.The container 210 further comprises an applicator member 250 capable of absorbing the liquid product and restoring it on the eyelid by contact.

En particulier, l'organe d'application est un bloc de mousse à cellules ouvertes. L'organe d'application 250 est imbibé de la composition d'eye-liner liquide. La composition étant absorbée dans la mousse, elle ne peut s'écouler hors du récipient. Alternativement, l'organe d'application 250 peut être constitué par un feutre ou tout autre matériau fibreux apte à absorber du produit.In particular, the applicator member is an open cell foam block. The applicator member 250 is soaked with the liquid eyeliner composition. The composition being absorbed in the foam, it can not flow out of the container. Alternatively, the application member 250 may be constituted by a felt or other fibrous material capable of absorbing the product.

L'organe d'application 250 comporte une surface d'application 251 configurée pour traverser la fente afin de venir au contact de la paupière et d'y dessiner un motif. La surface d'application 251 est de préférence concave de manière à pouvoir épouser la forme d'une paupière afin d'y dessiner un motif sans la déplacer sur la paupière. Selon ce mode de réalisation, le motif est déterminé, non pas par la forme de l'ouverture, mais par le relief de la surface d'application 251. La surface d'application 251 peut être sans relief de manière à former un trait droit. En variante, on peut prévoir différents reliefs le long de la surface d'application 251 afin de dessiner des motifs correspondants aux reliefs.The applicator member 250 has an application surface 251 configured to pass through the slot to contact the eyelid and draw a pattern thereon. The application surface 251 is preferably concave so as to be able to conform to the shape of an eyelid in order to draw a pattern without moving it on the eyelid. According to this embodiment, the pattern is determined, not by the shape of the opening, but by the relief of the application surface 251. The application surface 251 may be without relief so as to form a straight line . Alternatively, it is possible to provide different reliefs along the application surface 251 in order to draw patterns corresponding to the reliefs.

Le bloc de mousse 250 est de forme généralement parallélépipédique. Il est fixé à l'intérieur du corps 210, et en particulier au fond 213 du corps. Il est par coincé entre deux nervures prévues sur la paroi interne du corps 210.The foam block 250 is of generally parallelepipedal shape. It is fixed inside the body 210, and in particular at the bottom 213 of the body. It is wedged between two ribs provided on the inner wall of the body 210.

Le bloc de mousse doit avoir une longueur, mesurée selon l'axe X, suffisamment faible pour que, lorsque la tête de distribution 212 n'est pas enfoncée, la surface d'application 251 de l'organe d'application se trouve à l'intérieur du récipient, en particulier à distance de la fente 220. Le bloc de mousse doit néanmoins avoir une longueur suffisante pour que, lorsque l'on enfonce la tête de distribution, la surface d'application 251 puisse traverser la fente pour venir au moins au niveau de la surface d'appui 230, ou la déborder.The foam block must have a length, measured along the X axis, sufficiently small so that, when the dispensing head 212 is not depressed, the application surface 251 of the applicator member is at least inside the container, in particular at a distance from the slot 220. The foam block must nevertheless be of sufficient length so that, when the dispensing head is pressed, the application surface 251 can pass through the slot to come to the less at the support surface 230, or overflow.

Comme dans les modes de réalisation précédents, la tête d'application peut déboucher par une ou plusieurs ouvertures telles que celles représentées sur les figures 3 à 12. Selon la forme de la ou des ouverture(s), on adaptera la forme de l'extrémité du bloc de mousse formant la surface d'application 251 de manière à ce que cette dernière puisse traverser la ou les ouverture(s).As in the previous embodiments, the application head can lead to one or more openings such as those shown in Figures 3 to 12. Depending on the shape of the opening (s), we will adapt the shape of the end of the foam block forming the application surface 251 so that the latter can pass through the opening (s).

La fente 220 peut être obturée de manière étanche par un capot 260 agencé pour s'accrocher sur le bord ouvert du corps du récipient. Le capot comporte une surface 261 qui s'étend transversalement à l'axe X et qui lui permet de reposer de façon stable sur une surface plane.The slot 220 may be sealed by a cover 260 arranged to catch on the open edge of the container body. The cover has a surface 261 which extends transversely to the X axis and which allows it to rest stably on a flat surface.

Or, le fond 213 du corps du récipient étant bombé, il ne peut reposer de façon stable sur une surface plane. On oblige ainsi l'utilisateur à stocker le dispositif 200 en faisant reposer la surface 261 du capot sur une surface plane de sorte que la fente 220 est tournée vers le bas, comme on l'a illustré sur les figures 14 et 15. Le produit a alors tendance, en particulier lorsqu'il n'en reste plus beaucoup, à imbiber la portion du bloc de mousse située à proximité de la fente, si bien que le dispositif est prêt à l'emploi dès que l'on retire le capot.However, the bottom 213 of the container body being curved, it can not rest stably on a flat surface. This forces the user to store the device 200 by resting the surface 261 of the cover on a flat surface so that the slot 220 is turned downwards, as illustrated in FIGS. 14 and 15. The product then tends, especially when there is not much left, to soak the portion of the foam block located near the slot, so that the device is ready for use as soon as we remove the hood .

Pour appliquer le produit, on place la surface d'appui concave 230 du dispositif sur la paupière en tenant le corps 211 du récipient. Le dispositif peut ainsi être stabilisé sur la paupière avant de faire sortir le produit. Dans cette position stable, on peut ensuite facilement faire sortir le produit du récipient pour le déposer sur la paupière sans faire bouger la surface d'appui sur la paupière. A cet effet, on rapproche le dispositif de la paupière de sorte qu'une contrainte est exercée sur la surface d'appui 230. La tête de distribution 212 coulisse alors à l'intérieur du corps 210 jusqu'à ce que la surface d'application 251 du bloc de mousse traverse la fente et vienne au niveau de la surface d'appui, comme on l'a illustré sur la figure 15. La composition d'eye-liner est ainsi déposée sur la paupière sous forme d'un trait.To apply the product, the concave bearing surface 230 of the device is placed on the eyelid by holding the body 211 of the container. The device can thus be stabilized on the eyelid before bringing out the product. In this stable position, it is then easy to remove the product from the container to deposit it on the eyelid without moving the bearing surface on the eyelid. For this purpose, the device is brought closer to the eyelid so that a stress is exerted on the bearing surface 230. The dispensing head 212 then slides inside the body 210 until the surface of Application 251 of the foam block passes through the slot and comes to the level of the bearing surface, as illustrated in Figure 15. The eyeliner composition is thus deposited on the eyelid in the form of a line. .

On peut ensuite écarter le dispositif de la paupière ce qui fait cesser la contrainte exercée sur la surface d'appui 230. La tête de distribution 212 est alors ramenée dans sa position initiale par rappel élastique des deux lames élastiques 241.The device can then be pushed aside from the eyelid, which stops the stress exerted on the bearing surface 230. The dispensing head 212 is then returned to its initial position by elastic return of the two elastic strips 241.

Dans la description détaillée qui précède, il a été fait référence à des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention. Il est évident que des variantes peuvent y être apportées sans s'écarter de l'invention telle que revendiquée ci-après.In the foregoing detailed description, reference has been made to preferred embodiments of the invention. It is obvious that variations can be made without departing from the invention as claimed hereinafter.
