Definitions

  • the present invention relates to packaging and application devices comprising a composition to be applied to the nails, the skin, including that of the eyelids, or the lips.
  • EP 1 407 685 a device comprising a container containing a nail polish and an applicator comprising a rod provided at one end with a housing receiving an application element consisting of a tuft of bristles.
  • the rod has opposed longitudinal grooves each channeling the flow of the composition to a median region of the applicator element.
  • US 6,033,143 discloses an applicator having a shaft having a flexible portion formed of two flexible branches. Such an applicator does not have a large autonomy.
  • US 4,841,996 describes an applicator having a sheath extending around the shaft so as to form a capillary reserve and increase the autonomy of the applicator. The presence of such a sheath increases the manufacturing cost of the applicator.
  • Another applicator comprising a hollow rod carrying at its lower end an applicator element and whose side wall has a cavity enabling a reserve of composition to be retained by capillarity is described in the document EP 1 050 235 .
  • the invention aims to meet this need.
  • This portion is for example disposed in a container in the closed position of the device, such that the portion and the container are configured so that a flow of air is maintained around the portion during the transition from the closed position to an open position wherein the applicator element is out of the container.
  • the portion may be substantially non-deformable when applying the composition.
  • the portion may be substantially non-deformable when moving from the closed position to the open position.
  • a maximum cross section of the portion may be circumscribed to the inner cross section of the smallest of the cross-sections of the container through which the portion passes during the transition from the closed position to the open position.
  • the cross section of the cavity may in particular have a narrowed portion.
  • the cavity or cavities make it possible to retain, by capillarity, a reserve of composition and to feed the applicator element externally with the composition.
  • the autonomy of the applicator is thus increased and the cavity or cavities are for example made to contain a quantity of composition for makeup five or even ten nails without having to reload the applicator, which facilitates the treatment of nails and can reduce solvent losses by evaporation, if any.
  • the applicator can make it possible to deposit a thick monolayer of composition, which can bring more shine, depth, color and / or better adhesion to the nail, for example.
  • the cavity or cavities are preferably through, in order to increase the amount of composition that can be retained by capillarity, and also allow, where appropriate, the user to more easily view the level of the composition in the cavity or cavities.
  • the rod may comprise at one end a housing in which the applicator element is engaged.
  • the applicator element can be molded at least partially with the rod.
  • the rod may have a cross section, along the aforementioned portion, of generally oblong shape, for example elongated along a median plane.
  • the cavity or cavities may extend for example over more than 10 mm, especially over more than half the length of the rod.
  • the cavity or cavities may extend at a distance from a distal portion of the stem, for example more than 10 mm from this distal portion.
  • the cavity or cavities may comprise at least one slot extending for example over more than 10 mm, especially over more than half the length of the rod.
  • the slot or slits can emerge superiorly in at least one hole wider than the slot, this hole having for example a substantially circular shape when the stem is viewed from the front.
  • the applicator may have two slots, in particular lateral, meeting at the end.
  • the rod may comprise, between the cavity or cavities and the application element, at least one longitudinal groove. This groove may extend along a distal portion of the rod which further defines the housing receiving the application element.
  • the slot or one of the slots can lead to several longitudinal grooves.
  • the slot or slots can still lead to the outer surface of a distal portion of the rod devoid of longitudinal groove, for example of flattened outer shape.
  • the cavity can be is unique.
  • the cavity or cavities may extend over at least part of their length, only one side of the rod.
  • the slot or slots may open only on one side of the rod.
  • the applicator can have only two branches.
  • the branches may have facing surfaces that are not entirely flat.
  • the distance between the facing surfaces may pass through a minimum in a median plane of symmetry for the rod.
  • the distance between the opposite faces, along the slot is for example less than or equal to 2 mm, better still 1.5 mm, for example between 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm, for example from order of 1 mm.
  • the rod may have, along the aforementioned portion, a greater transverse dimension greater than or equal to 5 mm, better still 6 mm, more preferably 7 mm. This can make it possible to make a cavity with relatively large dimensions and can increase the amount of product that is deposited on the stem when for example it is immersed in a container containing the composition.
  • the cavity or cavities are delimited below by at least one inclined surface extending outwardly and downwardly.
  • the cavity or cavities may be delimited below by two inclined surfaces symmetrical with respect to a median plane.
  • the inclined surface or surfaces can facilitate the flow of the composition contained in the cavity or cavities towards the application element, by bringing the composition towards the surface of the rod.
  • the aforesaid portion may have a generally decreasing cross section towards the distal end of the shaft.
  • the rod can be made in one piece by molding a thermoplastic material.
  • the stem may comprise three branches forming between them or the cavities.
  • the applicator element may comprise a bundle of bristles, a flocking, a felt, a foam, a sinter or a textile.
  • the applicator element may be fixed other than in a housing of the rod and may for example partially externally cover the rod.
  • the application member may be further molded at least partially in one piece with the rod.
  • Such an applicator element can be flocked or covered with a fabric or foam.
  • the application element may have various shapes and may have for example a longitudinal axis forming a non-zero angle with that of the rod.
  • the application element may also extend not entirely in alignment with the rod, in particular by being curved and / or at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the rod.
  • the applicator may include a hinge, which can provide more flexibility to the application, including a hinge-film.
  • the housing receiving the application element may not communicate with the cavity or cavities, the supply of the application element being effected by the outside of the rod.
  • the applicator may comprise a sheath surrounding the rod, for example to increase the amount of product which the rod is loaded.
  • the bundle of bristles may have, in cross section, a generally flattened, rectangular, square, oval, circular, wavy or curved shape.
  • the bundle may comprise a mixture of bristles and / or corrugated bristles.
  • the beam may comprise in particular straight hairs and wavy bristles and / or corrugated bristles having different waving frequencies.
  • the composition may be contained in a container.
  • the applicator may be fixed removably on this container and the applicator may in particular be configured to seal the container.
  • the container may or may not be provided with a wringing member.
  • a second container can still be secured to the applicator during application.
  • the second container may then comprise, for example, a dispensing device such as a pump or valve.
  • the second container may further comprise at least one flexible wall on which the user can press to distribute the composition.
  • the container forms a cover which can be fixed on the applicator around the applicator element in the closed position.
  • the composition can be applied to nails, for example.
  • figure 1 a packaging and application device comprising a container 2 and an applicator 3 that can be separated from the container 2 during use.
  • the container 2 contains a composition P which is for example a product intended for application to the nails, for example a nail polish.
  • composition P may for example be a product intended to be applied to other keratin materials, for example the skin or the lips.
  • the container 2 may contain one or more balls 4 for homogenizing the composition P before application.
  • the applicator 3 comprises a rod 5 of X axis which has been shown separately in the figure 2 , carrying at one end an applicator element 6 and connected at its other end to a gripping member 9 which is also, in the example in question, a closure member of the container 2.
  • the applicator 3 can be fixed in various ways to the container 2 and in the example illustrated, the container 2 has an externally threaded neck 10 and the gripping member 9 has an internally threaded mounting skirt 11 arranged to be screwed onto the neck 10.
  • the sealing of the closure of the container 2 is for example ensured by the rod 5, but alternatively, this sealing can be obtained otherwise, for example by a sealed application of the gripping member 9 on the container 2.
  • the rod 5 can be fixed in various ways on the gripping member 9, for example being engaged by force and / or snap-fastened.
  • the gripping member 9 and the rod 5 are made in one piece by molding plastic material.
  • the applicator 3 may further comprise a sub-capsule between the rod 5 and the gripping member 9, in a variant that is not illustrated.
  • the rod 5 comprises a distal portion 13 internally provided with a housing 14 that can be seen on the figures 5 and 6 and a proximal portion 16 having a tubular skirt 18 which serves for fixing in the gripping member 9.
  • the skirt 18 is connected at its base to a plate 20 which can be supported by a lower face 21 against the upper edge 100 of the neck 10 of the container 2 when the applicator 3 is in place thereon.
  • the neck 10 can be made with at its upper end a tapered lip on the underside 21, which provides an improved seal.
  • the rod 5 comprises, between the proximal portions 16 and distal 13, an intermediate portion 22 which has two branches 30 defining between them a cavity 24 elongated along the axis X.
  • the cross-sections of the intermediate portion 22 are all circumscribed to the smallest of the cross-sections of the container 2, in this case the cross-section of the neck 10 at the level of the upper edge 100.
  • transverse sections are identified perpendicularly to a principal elongation axis of the intermediate portion 22 when the applicator is mounted on the container 2.
  • the cavity 24 comprises in the upper part a hole 34 with an axis perpendicular to a median plane M for the rod 5, this hole 34 being extended inferiorly by a slot 36 extending for example over more than half the length of the rod 5.
  • the slot 36 is delimited below by two inclined surfaces 38 that can be seen on the figure 5 in particular, which are for example symmetrical to each other with respect to the median plane M.
  • the inclined surfaces 38 are each extended below each by a longitudinal groove 39 extending from one side of the distal portion 13 to substantially the lower end 40 of the rod 5, as can be seen in FIG. figure 3 especially.
  • the distal end 40 may comprise a notch 41, for example V, formed in the extension of the longitudinal groove 39.
  • this notch 41 may not be in the extension of the cavity 24 or of the longitudinal groove 39.
  • the notch 41 makes it possible to conduct the flow of product flowing from the cavity 24 towards the application element 6.
  • the facing surfaces 44 of the branches 30 are separated by a distance d which is minimal in the median plane M, being for example of the order of 1 mm, and the surfaces 44 deviate from each other towards the the outside from the median plane M as can be seen on the figure 7 .
  • the length of the slot 36 is for example greater than or equal to 10 mm.
  • the application element 6 is for example a bundle of bristles which is folded on itself and stapled at mid-length in the bottom of the housing 14.
  • the largest transverse dimension D of the rod 5 at the top of the intermediate portion 22 is for example greater than or equal to 5 mm, being for example of the order of 7 mm in the example in question.
  • the largest transverse dimension D is strictly smaller than the smallest inside diameter of the neck.
  • the rod 5 may have, in a plane perpendicular to the median plane M, a decreasing width towards its distal end 40.
  • the intermediate portion 22 is relatively rigid, not substantially deforming during use of the applicator 3.
  • the rod 5 When it is in place on the container 2, as shown in FIG. figure 1 , the rod 5 may be immersed or not in the composition P.
  • the user can shake the device 1 before use.
  • the composition is retained at least temporarily by capillarity in the cavity 24 and can gain the application element 6 as it is displaced on the region to be treated, for example the nails.
  • the intermediate portion 22 does not deform substantially during its removal from the container 2, and in particular during the passage of the neck 10. Thus the amount of product that can be retained in the cavity 24 is not decreased because of the extraction of the applicator from the container.
  • composition leaving the cavity 24 can easily flow, thanks to the inclined surfaces 38, on the grooves 39 and reach the applicator element 6 from the outside.
  • the level of composition in the cavity 24 can decrease as and when the application, and the user can possibly by observing the rod 5 know whether it is necessary to recharge it by bringing it into the container 2.
  • the cavity 24 is open over more than half of its height along the rod, and opens at two opposite outer faces of the outer surface of the rod.
  • the cavity 24 allows the applicator 3 to carry a sufficient amount of composition to treat several nails, for example all the nails of one hand, even both hands, without the user have to re-dip the applicator 3 in the container 2.
  • the applicator element 6 may have a generally flattened shape in cross section and the grooves 39 then make it possible to bring the composition into a median region of the applicator element, which allows the composition to be well distributed over the application element 6 and facilitates obtaining a quality makeup.
  • the two inclined surfaces 38 of the figure 5 can be replaced by a single inclined surface 38, as shown in FIG. figure 8 .
  • the rod 5 may comprise more than two branches, for example three branches 30 as shown in FIG. figure 9 , the cavity 24 being formed between these branches 30 in a central region of the applicator, as can be seen in FIG. figure 10 .

  • the applicator 6 may comprise at least two bundles of bristles 6a and 6b, for example divergent. These two bundles of bristles can be obtained by mounting two tufts in the housing 14 or be due to a particular interior configuration of the housing 14.
  • the application element 6 may be other than a bundle of bristles and may have a flocking as illustrated in FIG. figure 22 , a foam as illustrated in figure 23 , a sintered 52 as shown in FIG. figure 24 or felt as shown in figure 25 .
  • the application element 6 may extend along a longitudinal axis Z which forms a non-zero angle ⁇ with the axis X, as illustrated in FIG. figure 26 .
  • the distal portion 13 of the rod 5 may in particular be bent for this purpose.
  • the application element 6 can be further curved, as illustrated in FIG. figure 27 .
  • the distal portion 13 of the rod 5 may be stamped to give the housing 14 a particular shape, for example a shape difficult to obtain by molding or making it difficult to staple, as illustrated in FIG. figure 28 .
  • the application element 6 can also be made in one piece, by molding with the rod 5, as illustrated in FIG. figure 29 .
  • This figure also illustrates the possibility for the applicator element to be perforated and the possibility for the rod to comprise more than one slot 36, for example two slots 36, which can meet at the end.
