Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for packaging and applying a cosmetic product.
  • the device is of the type to an applicator comprising an applicator element integral with a gripping portion, the applicator being able to be housed in a container.
  • Such applicators make it possible, for example, to apply to the skin, the mucous membranes or superficial body growths, blushes, foundations, eye shadows, dermatological compositions, wrinkle treatment compositions, skincare compositions and the like. body, etc., presented as a powder, cream, gel or lotion.
  • a set of packaging and application of a product in powder form which comprises a container containing the product and an applicator in the form of a brush formed of a handle carrying a tuft of bristles.
  • the assembly also comprises a wiper member made in one piece with the container, the wiper member being in the form of a thimble split at its end to let the brush to be housed in the wiper. In this position, the brush is simply placed in the wiper. An additional cover is then screwed on the container to close it by surrounding the handle.
  • the gesture is not very simple since you have to shake the assembly in the closed position, unscrew the hood, then remove the brush.
  • the document FR-A1-2 298 292 shows a device for packaging and applying a product in free powder form according to the technical features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the documents FR 2,506,580 and FR 2,521,842 also describe a set of packaging and application of a product which this time is liquid.
  • the assembly comprises a container provided with a wiper in the form of a thimble split in its bottom and an applicator, adapted to be fixed on the container, in particular by snapping.
  • the applicator When the applicator is attached to the container, the lower end of the rod of the applicator comes into tight abutment, along the axis of the rod, on a portion of the wiper.
  • such a configuration requires very strict manufacturing tolerances, since the slightest variation of the position of the applicator on the container when it is snapped that the rod is no longer in tight contact on the wiper.
  • the sealing zone is relatively large. This ensures a tight seal to the product, even with greater manufacturing tolerance of the device. The development and production conditions are thus facilitated which facilitates the industrialization of the device.
  • the rod may comprise at least one bead bearing sealingly against the inner surface of the wiper member when the applicator is fixed on the container.
  • the rod may have several beads.
  • the inner surface of the wiper member comprises one or more bead (s) sealing in place of the rod, on which the rod is adapted to come into sealing engagement.
  • the bead (s) may be replaced by a sealing lip.
  • the wiper member may have a cross section which gradually decreases towards its lower end.
  • the stem can be flat.
  • the term "flat" reflects the fact that the rod defines a thin structure, relative to its other dimensions, and in particular with respect to its length.
  • the applicator may overflow the wiper member within the container for only part of its length. In particular, the applicator may overflow the wiper member inside the container for less than half of its length.
  • the applicator can be a brush.
  • the applicator may be a foam tip that can be flocked or not, or a felt.
  • the lower end of the applicator may be close to the bottom of the container when the applicator is attached to the container.
  • the applicator may comprise two hooking tabs provided with a hook adapted to be fixed by snapping on the container, the two hooking lugs being parallel to each other.
  • the hooking lugs may be able to tilt about an axis perpendicular to the axis of the rod, moving closer to the rod.
  • the two attachment tabs can be located on either side of the rod.
  • the gripping portion may comprise two bearing surfaces.
  • the container may have an attached bottom, the bottom being welded or snapped onto the container.
  • the container may comprise a skirt defining an opening of the container, the skirt extending inside the container, the wiper member being able to be fixed around the skirt.
  • the container may contain a cosmetic product, such as an eye shadow, a blusher, a blush or a foundation.
  • a cosmetic product such as an eye shadow, a blusher, a blush or a foundation.
  • the packaging and application device 100 described on the Figures 1 to 5 is provided for the application of a cosmetic product including a blush to eyelid, blush, blush, foundation, etc ...
  • the product is preferably in the form of loose powder.
  • the device 100 comprises a container 10 containing the product, an applicator 20, designed to be housed in the container in the closed position and a wiper member 30 which can be traversed by the applicator.
  • the container 10 is elongate along an axis X. It comprises a lateral wall 11 of circular cross-section which progressively decreases between a bottom 12 and an upper edge 13. In its upper part, the container comprises two arms 14, diametrically opposed, which are extend along the X axis. The arms 14 are connected to each other by a concave portion so that the container 10 has a U-shaped notch in its upper part. Each arm 14 has a shoulder 15 on its inner surface, serving as a stop for the gripping member.
  • the upper edge 13 of the container is connected to a circular skirt 16 which extends axially inside the container.
  • the circular skirt defines the opening 17 of the container.
  • the skirt 16 has a detent bead 16a on its outer surface, the bead 16a being provided to receive a wiper member 30 which will be described later.
  • the skirt 16 further comprises, in its upper part, two flanges 18, diametrically opposed, whose function will be explained later in the description.
  • the container 10 has a bottom 12 attached, which is for example ultrasonically welded at its periphery to the side wall 11, and in particular on its inner surface.
  • the bottom 12 could alternatively be snapped onto the side wall 11.
  • the container 10 is obtained by injection molding a thermoplastic material, in particular made of plastic material. It is for example made in PCTA or SAN.
  • the container is advantageously transparent so as to allow the consumer to see the product from the outside, and in particular its color.
  • a wiper member 30 is provided around the opening of the container for, as will be seen in detail later, to be traversed by the applicator.
  • the wiper member comprises a cylindrical fixing skirt 31 which has a snap-fitting bead 32 on its inner surface designed to cooperate with the corresponding snap-fitting bead 16a provided on the outer surface of the skirt 16 provided in FIG. container.
  • the wiper member 30 decreases in diameter from the cylindrical skirt 31 to a rectangular portion 35 with the short sides of the rounded rectangle.
  • the rectangular portion gradually decreases to an end 33 which opens through an opening 34.
  • the free edge of the end 33 forms a squeezing lip.
  • the wiper member is made of a relatively flexible material, for example low density polyethylene (LDPE) for, as will be seen later, ensure good sealing of the product of the container.
  • LDPE low density polyethylene
  • the applicator 20 is a flat brush. It comprises a flat shaft 21, of longitudinal axis X, at a first end 22 of which is attached a tuft of bristles 23 via a ferrule 24.
  • the tuft of bristles 23 is trapped in the ferrule which itself same is crimped on the end 22 of the rod, the bristles being oriented along the axis X of the rod.
  • the tuft of hair has substantially the same width and thickness as the stem.
  • a second end 25 of the rod, opposite the first, is connected to an inverted U-shaped grip portion 26, which flares out slightly.
  • the outer surface of the gripping portion comprises, on each leg, a curved surface 27 which facilitates its grip.
  • the gripping portion is intended to be grasped and pinched between the thumb and forefinger.
  • the gripping portion is housed in the notch provided in the upper part of the container forming the extension of the outer surface of the container, as seen in FIG. figure 2 .
  • the two hooking tabs 28 are provided on the gripping portion.
  • the two lugs 28 extend, parallel to the rod and on either side thereof, from each gripping portion, from the inner surface of the gripping portion.
  • the hooking lugs 28 have a rectangular shape and comprise at their free end a hook 29 intended to be fixed by snapping on the container.
  • each hook 29 is housed under each flange 18 provided on the skirt 16.
  • the shape of the hooks, that of the flanges and the materials used to make them are such that the snap of the applicator on the container is accompanied an audible click that warns the user that the applicator is securely attached to the container.
  • a sealing bead 40 is provided on the outer surface of the rod.
  • the sealing bead is intended to come into sealing engagement against the inner surface of the wiper member when the applicator is attached to the container.
  • the bead 40 has for example a radial height approximately equal to 1.3 mm.
  • the axial position of the bead on the rod and its radial height are chosen relative to the wiper member so that the bead 40 can come into sealing engagement at different axial heights of the inner surface of the wiper member. This increases the sealing area so that even if the applicator is snapped onto the container at an axial height different from that initially expected, the bead will come anyway. waterproof support on the wiper. The fact of using a bead that bears radially on the wiper ensures a tight seal to the product, with a fairly high manufacturing tolerance.
  • the bead 40 When the applicator is attached to the container as seen on the Figures 3 and 4 , the bead 40 is in sealing engagement against the inner surface of the wiper member. In this storage position, the powder present in the container can reach the portion of the rod located above the bead and can not leave the container. The risks of product leakage are thus limited.
  • the end of the tuft of bristles 23 projects beyond the opening 34 of the wiper member 30 over only a portion of its axial height so that only this portion can be loaded with product.
  • the tuft of bristles 23 overhang the opening 34 of the wiper member on less than half of its length, and in particular about one-third of its length.
  • the end 33 of the wiper member has an inner section relatively close to the section of the tuft of bristles so as to leave very little free space around the tuft of hair so that a minimum of product can be introduced inside the wiper member.
  • the user shakes the assembly so that the powder is deposited on the end of the brush. It grasps the gripping member by pinching the two gripping portions 26 so as to unhook the applicator from the container as illustrated in FIG. figure 5 , the hooks 29 away from the flanges 18. It can then remove the applicator 20 from the inside of the container by lifting substantially along the axis X. During this removal, the end of the tuft of hair loaded with product is scraped by the end of the wiper member so as to remove the surplus product. The user can then apply the applicator thus loaded product on the area he wants to make up.
  • the user After having applied the product, the user reintroduces the applicator 20 into the container until he hears the "click" which confirms to him that the applicator is well fixed on the receptacle and that the bead 40 is in support sealing against the inner surface of the wiper member 30 so that the container is sealed to the product.
  • the container 10 without its bottom 12, the applicator and the wiper member.
  • the wiper member 30 is fixed to the skirt 16 of the container and, on the other hand, the applicator 20 to the container.
  • the container is filled with product in this configuration, by its lower portion which is not closed by the bottom 12. Once filled, the container is closed by the bottom 12.
  • the applicator can be made of foam, flocked or not, or felt.
