Definitions

  • the present invention relates to skin cleaning devices having a cleaning surface to be moved in contact therewith.
  • film-forming cosmetic compositions may require mechanical removal for their removal, which must as far as possible be carried out without irritating the skin.
  • the patent US 5,671,498 describes a cleaning device in which the cleaning surface is defined by a foam. It can be relatively difficult to obtain with a foam the desired abrasion characteristics.
  • WO 2004/057999 discloses a cleaning device comprising a flexible brush formed projections made of silicone. This device comprises all the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the subject of the invention is a device for cleaning the skin, comprising a cleaning member having a cleaning surface to be moved in contact with the skin.
  • the cleaning member comprises an elastically deformable synthetic material other than a foam defining the cleaning surface and the latter comprises cavities having undercuts.
  • the cleaning surface may also include cavities without undercut.
  • the user benefits from a hygienic cleaning device, by the use of a synthetic material that is washable.
  • the cavities can be made by molding, which ensures reproducibility of the cleaning surface.
  • the use of the elastically deformable material makes it possible not to make the cleaning surface too aggressive vis-à-vis the skin.
  • undercut surfaces in the cavities is also made possible by the use of the elastically deformable material, which advantageously makes it possible to reproduce the imprint of an abrasive surface.
  • the cavities may be inhomogeneously distributed over the cleaning surface and / or may have different shapes.
  • a larger dimension of the cavities may be less than or equal to 5 mm, for example less than or equal to 2 mm.
  • the cleaning surface can be defined by an elastically deformable membrane of the cleaning member, which can provide even more comfort to the use and increase the processing possibilities, thanks to the increased deformability of the cleaning surface.
  • the cleaning member for example the membrane
  • the cleaning member can be fixed on the frame of a handle at its periphery. This may allow the user to exert pressure on the cleaning member by pressing on it, through the frame for example, the side opposite the cleaning surface.
  • the cleaning member for example the membrane, may comprise a finger on the opposite side to the cleaning surface, on which the user can press to deform the cleaning surface.
  • the device may include an angled handle, which can improve the ergonomics.
  • the cleaning member may be removable, which may facilitate its cleaning and / or allow the user to use the same gripping member of the cleaning device in connection with several cleaning members having different characteristics, for example different surface states and / or different shapes.
  • the cleaning device may comprise a gripping member, for example a handle, and the cleaning member may comprise a support piece of the elastically deformable material defining the cleaning surface, this support piece being detachably fixed on the grasping organ.
  • the cleaning member can be overmoulded on the handle.
  • the support piece may be in a more rigid material than that defining the cleaning surface.
  • the support piece is for example a ring.
  • the cleaning surface may have at rest a curved shape.
  • the cleaning device may further comprise a massage member.
  • the cleaning member and the massage member may be located at opposite ends of a handle, for example.
  • the cleaning member is secured to a closure lid of a container.
  • the latter may contain, where appropriate, a cosmetic or dermatological composition, especially film-forming, requiring for its removal a mechanical action exerted by means of the cleaning member.
  • the lid can serve as a gripping member to an applicator member, if necessary.
  • an abrasive surface A as defined for example by a sandpaper or by the surface of a material comprising grains bonded by a binder, for example a cement.
  • An impression E is made of this abrasive surface A, as illustrated in FIG. figure 2 by means of, for example, an elastomer, such as, for example, a silicone polymer.
  • This impression is used to then make a mold M, as illustrated in FIG. figure 3 .
  • This mold M has a surface that substantially reproduces the roughness of the abrasive surface A, as illustrated in FIG. figure 4 .
  • An elastically deformable synthetic material of a cleaning member is molded in contact with the mold M, as illustrated in FIG. figure 5 and after demolding, this an elastically deformable material has cavities C which have undercut surfaces S, as illustrated in FIG. figure 6 .
  • the elastically deformable synthetic material is, for example, a thermoplastic or vulcanizable elastomer, for example a silicone polymer, EPDM, a latex, a polyurethane elastomer, polyethylene, polyether, polystyrene, PVA, PVC, SES or SEBS. , this list not being limiting.
  • a thermoplastic or vulcanizable elastomer for example a silicone polymer, EPDM, a latex, a polyurethane elastomer, polyethylene, polyether, polystyrene, PVA, PVC, SES or SEBS.
  • This elastomeric material is different from an open cell foam, semi-closed or closed.
  • the size of the cavities C depends on those of the abrasive surface of origin A, as well as the distribution of these cavities, which may be inhomogeneous or not.
  • a larger dimension d max of the cavities C is for example less than or equal to 5 mm, or even 2 mm.
  • FIG. 7 and 8 a skin cleaning device 1 having a handle 2 having a head 3 provided with a cleaning member 4 of the skin.
  • This cleaning member 4 has a surface 5 which serves to clean the skin and which has been molded in contact with a mold M reproducing the relief of an abrasive surface A, as described previously.
  • the cavities C of the cleaning surface 5 thus have undercut surfaces S, as schematically illustrated in FIG. figure 7 .
  • the cleaning member 4 is solid and fixed on a face 8 of the head 3 forming an angle ⁇ with the longitudinal axis X of the handle body 9 of the handle 2.
  • the cleaning surface 5 is in the example considered the side of the X axis, which can improve ergonomics for facial cleansing in particular.
  • the cleaning member 4 is for example glued on the face 8 but could, alternatively, be fixed differently, for example by welding or overmolding or by a mechanical fastening such as screwing, snapping or hooks and loops type Velcro®.
  • the elastomeric material of the cleaning member 4, which defines the cleaning surface 5, is advantageously chosen so as to have sufficient flexibility to allow the user to deform the cleaning surface 5 by exerting a moderate pressure with his finger as shown in figure 8 .
  • the cleaning surface 5 may have a generally domed shape, for example substantially spherical or ellipsoidal.
  • the cleaning surface 5 may also have facets 11, as illustrated in FIG. figure 9 .
  • the entire cleaning surface 5 may have substantially the same roughness or, alternatively, the cleaning surface 5 may have regions having different properties, for example different roughness.
  • the facets 11 in the example of the figure 9 may have the same roughness or not. This may allow the user, if necessary, to choose the region of the cleaning surface which has the roughness and / or the relief corresponding to the treatment to be performed, for example the removal of a composition deposit or the exfoliation.
  • the head 3 of the handle is not perforated.
  • the head 3 may be perforated and form a frame, as shown in the Figures 10 to 13 especially.
  • the cleaning member 4 may then be in the form of a membrane fixed at its periphery to the frame 3 and the user may optionally press the face 13 of the membrane located on the opposite side to the cleaning surface 5 for deforming the membrane and, for example, stretching it so as to modify the extent of contact of the cleaning surface with the skin or to apply a greater pressure thereto, as illustrated in FIG. figure 13 .
  • the flexibility of the membrane 4 may advantageously allow it to deform in contact with the regions of the body or the face to be treated, as illustrated in FIG. figure 12 .
  • the cleaning member 4 When the cleaning member 4 is snap-fastened to the handle 2, as illustrated in FIG. figure 14 , the cleaning member 4 may comprise at its periphery an annular groove 15 arranged to snap on an annular bead 16 of the frame 3.
  • the cleaning member 4 is made with a recess 17 on the opposite side to the cleaning surface.
  • the cleaning member 4 can be made without such a recess, as illustrated in FIG. figure 15 .
  • the cleaning member 4 may be made in one piece from an elastomeric material or, alternatively, may comprise a support piece of this elastomeric material made of a more rigid material, as illustrated in FIG. figure 16 .
  • the cleaning surface 5 is for example defined by a membrane which is made in one piece by bi-injection of material with a support ring 19 which is arranged to attach to the frame 3, detachably if necessary.
  • this support ring 19 can bear against a flange 20 of the frame.
