Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the make-up and care of the skin or nails and more particularly, but not exclusively, the so-called "French manicure” which consists of depositing a white product at the end of nail varnish to imitate the white nails.
  • Felt tip applicators generally allow a product of regular intensity to be deposited, but it is difficult with these applicators to deposit compositions rich in pigments, which are retained by the fibers of the felt.
  • Brushes are more suitable for the application of pigmented compositions.
  • tapered central tip brushes certainly have a finer drop end but the viscosity of the product often makes the drop is still too thick to obtain a completely satisfactory result.
  • EP 0 556 081, EP 0 651 955, EP 0 746 992 and EP 1 462 023 thus describe nail varnish applicators which are not particularly suitable for depositing a line of regular intensity of product.
  • patents GB 1 083 891 and US Pat. No. 4,998,315 describe nail varnish applicators having an elongated cross-section along an axis of greater length and a bevelled face when observed along this axis.
  • the application DE 1 0043930 discloses a nail polish applicator having a cross section of circular shape, which can be beveled at an angle of 55 °.
  • the present invention aims in particular to facilitate the making of a makeup "French manicure” by means of a brush and more generally to allow the deposit of a product line of regular intensity on the skin or nails, that the width this trait is constant or not.
  • the bundle of bristles may have an elongated cross section along an axis X of greater length and, when observed perpendicular to the X axis of greater length, has the beveled end.
  • the drop of product that forms at the end of the brush after spinning of the tip is sufficiently far from this point, given the relatively high slope of the bevel, so that the tip can be used without arrival excessive product during the application.
  • the invention makes it possible to create a capillary rupture at the end of the brush.
  • the user can achieve easier control of the deposited product thickness and the formation of a layer of continuous thickness is favored.
  • the product tending to accumulate at the end of the brush may nevertheless feed the tip during application, especially when the beam is deformed by pressing on the nail or the skin.
  • the thickness of the beam tip measured in the direction of the X axis, may be less than 1/3 of the maximum width of the pile bundle along the X axis, or less than 1/4 of the maximum width of the hair bundle along the X axis.
  • the bundle of bristles has, in a cross section, a generally flattened shape, being for example of substantially oval or rectangular section.
  • the cross section of the pile bundle may not be circular.
  • the bundle of bristles when observed perpendicular to the X axis of greater length, may be devoid of rim or recess.
  • the rod comprises at least one groove opening substantially half-width of the bundle of bristles, for example a longitudinal groove, which may extend for example over a major part of the length of the rod.
  • the rod comprises two longitudinal grooves opening substantially at half the width of the bundle of bristles and disposed opposite one another on the rod.
  • the rod may comprise a housing having an oblong, in particular rectangular or oval, cross section in which the bundle of bristles is received, which may facilitate the formation of a generally flattened beam.
  • the rod may have a constant cross section.
  • the bundle of bristles comprises for example at least one tuft of bristles stapled in the housing.
  • the attachment of the bristles can still be done otherwise than by stapling, for example by stamping the rod, gluing, welding or overmolding.
  • the bundle of bristles is advantageously starched before the first use, which may especially facilitate the mechanized placement of the applicator on a corresponding container and also to prevent damage to the bristles during handling prior to assembly of the applicator on the container.
  • the rod may comprise a tip for fixing in the closure element, this nozzle being for example tubular.
  • the rod can still be connected differently to the closure element, being for example made in one piece with it.
  • the closure member may be arranged to be screwed to the container, but alternatively the attachment may be effected otherwise, for example by snapping or friction, or with the aid of an auxiliary holding piece.
  • a wiper may be disposed in the neck of the bottle, if any.
  • the rod may be rigid or flexible, and may or may not include a joint or region of greater deformability.
  • a stiff rod can help improve makeup accuracy.
  • the beam tip is shifted laterally relative to the longitudinal axis of the rod.
  • the apparent length of the beam is for example between 10 mm and 20 mm.
  • the bristles can be tapered by grinding.
  • the bristles used have, for example, a section with a diameter of between 6/100 and 20/100 mm, for example of the order of 8/100 mm.
  • the bristles may be of sections and / or forms identical or not, hollow or solid, grooved or not, tapered end or not, and mixed if necessary.
  • the beam may comprise a mixture of hairs of different natures.
  • the bristles can be made for example in one of the following materials: PA, PET, PTFE, PBT, PP, PS, POM, this list is not limiting.
  • Another aspect of the invention is an applicator comprising a rod carrying a bundle of bristles, preferably of substantially flattened cross-section, the bundle having on one side long bristles and on the other side short hairs, the difference in length between long hairs and short hairs exceeding preferably 6 mm.
  • the length of the long hairs is for example greater than 10 mm and that of the short hairs less than 6 mm.
  • the free ends of the bristles of the beam may form a bevel, whose angle is for example between 10 ° and 35 °.
  • the invention further relates, in another of its aspects, a packaging device and application comprising an applicator as defined above and a container on which the applicator can be fixed.
  • This container contains for example a composition to be applied to the nails or the skin, which may include pigments, including a white nail polish.
  • the container may be of glass or any other material adapted to contain the composition.
  • the invention further relates, in another of its aspects, a makeup process in which is deposited using the tip of an applicator as defined above a product line on the skin or nails.
  • This method includes, for example, the step of drawing the white of the nails using the tip of the applicator.
  • the device 1 of packaging and application shown in Figures 1 and 2 comprises firstly a container 3 containing a cosmetic composition V to apply on the nails, for example a white pigmented varnish, and secondly an applicator 2 for the application of the product V and can be fixed on the container 3 in the absence of use to close tightly this one.
  • a cosmetic composition V to apply on the nails, for example a white pigmented varnish
  • an applicator 2 for the application of the product V and can be fixed on the container 3 in the absence of use to close tightly this one.
  • the container 3 comprises in the embodiment described a body 4 made of glass, provided superiorly with an externally threaded neck 5, on which can be screwed a closure element 6.
  • the applicator 2 comprises an overcap 7 in which is inserted the closure member 6 and a rod 8 of longitudinal axis Y, having at its upper end a tubular nozzle 9 inserted into a correspondingly shaped housing 10 of the element of closure 6.
  • the rod 8 also comprises a frustoconical portion 12 connected to a plate 13 extended by the end cap 9.
  • the plate 13 comes to rest axially against the upper end 15 of the neck 5 when the container 1 is closed, as can be seen in Figure 2, and can thus contribute to the sealing of the closure of the container.
  • the container 3 may contain a ball 17 for homogenizing the product V before use.
  • the rod 8 has at its lower end a housing 20 which receives a bundle of bristles 21.
  • the housing 20 has, in cross section, an oblong shape, for example rectangular, elongated along a major axis X perpendicular to the axis Y.
  • the hair bundle when observed along the X axis, for example has a substantially straight end.
  • the bundle of bristles 21 is constituted by a tuft of bristles folded in two and fixed to the bottom of the housing 20 by a staple 23, which is for example oriented parallel to the axis X.
  • the rod 8 has a cross sectional shape also oblong, elongate along the same major axis X, with two opposite major faces grooves 25.
  • the rod 8 may have, around the housing 1, a thickness of material e variable, as illustrated.
  • the rod may have a solid cross section, as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the oblong shape of the housing 20 confers on the bundle of bristles 21 a generally flattened shape in cross-section, for example substantially rectangular or oval, as can be seen in FIG.
  • each groove 25 opens out below substantially half-width of the bundle of bristles 21, as illustrated in FIG. 7.
  • the angle ⁇ at the apex of the bevel is for example between 10 ° and 35 °, being for example close to 20 ° in the example in question.
  • the beam 21 has a contour which, in FIG. 7, widens from the rod 8 and the tip 27 is offset laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis Y.
  • the distance m measured along the longitudinal axis Y, separating the apex of the bevel defined by the longer hairs and the rod 8, is for example between 10 and 20 mm, being for example close to 17 mm.
  • the distance n also measured parallel to the Y axis, between the rod 8 and the upper corner 30 of the end face 29 defined by the ends of the shortest hairs, is for example between 5 and 10 mm, for example less than 8 mm, the difference min being preferably greater than or equal to 6 mm.
  • the length t of the end face 29 substantially flat in the illustrated example is for example greater than 6 mm.
  • the width ⁇ at the base of the bevel, that is to say at the height of the wedge 30, is for example between 2 and 4 mm approximately.
  • the bundle of bristles 21 is starched by means of a substance which then dissolves in the product V. This makes it possible to prevent the bristles from being damaged and also facilitates the insertion of the beam 21 through the neck 5 of the container.
  • the applicator 2 can be used as follows.
  • the applicator 2 After mixing the product V for example by shaking the device 1, the applicator 2 is separated from the container 3 and the user can wring the brush on the edge of the neck 5.
