Abstract

The device has an adjusting unit (4) movable relative to a spinning unit (20) and arranged for acquiring two positions without constraining a deformable portion (36) of the spinning unit at rest. The deformation of the deformable portion is limited by a limiting element (18) of the adjusting unit during passage of an application element e.g. mascara brush, through the deformable portion and the deformation is not or less limited, when the adjusting unit is in corresponding position.

Description

La présente invention se rapporte aux dispositifs de conditionnement et d'application comportant un récipient contenant le produit à appliquer et un applicateur comportant une tige munie à une première extrémité d'un élément d'application et à une deuxième extrémité, opposée à la première, d'un organe de préhension qui peut également servir à fermer le récipient.The present invention relates to packaging and application devices comprising a container containing the product to be applied and an applicator comprising a rod provided at one end with an applicator element and at a second end, opposite to the first, a gripping member which can also be used to close the container.

L'invention concerne plus particulièrement mais non exclusivement les dispositifs dans lesquels l'élément d'application est une brosse ou un peigne pour appliquer un produit de maquillage et/ou de soin sur les fibres kératiniques, notamment les cils et/ou les sourcils.The invention relates more particularly, but not exclusively, to devices in which the applicator element is a brush or a comb for applying a make-up and / or care product to the keratinous fibers, in particular the eyelashes and / or the eyebrows.

Le brevet EP 2 301 divulgue un dispositif dans lequel le récipient comporte un organe d'essorage et un moyen de réglage permettant d'agir sur la dimension de l'orifice de l'organe d'essorage traversé par l'élément d'application.The patent EP 2,301 discloses a device in which the container comprises a wiper member and adjusting means for acting on the size of the orifice of the wiper member traversed by the applicator element.

Dans certains exemples de réalisation, l'organe d'essorage est déformé plus ou moins selon la dimension de l'orifice recherchée pour l'essorage.In some embodiments, the wiper member is deformed more or less depending on the size of the orifice desired for the spin.

L'organe d'essorage étant réalisé dans une matière élastiquement déformable, il risque de perdre en élasticité en étant maintenu sous contrainte pendant le stockage.The wiper member being made of an elastically deformable material, it may lose elasticity being kept under stress during storage.

Le brevet EP 2 301 divulgue également des exemples de réalisation dans lesquels les moyens de réglage comportent un orifice non centré et/ou non circulaire, de sorte qu'en tournant les moyens de réglage, la section de passage offerte à l'élément d'application puisse être modifiée.The patent EP 2,301 also discloses embodiments in which the adjustment means comprise a non-centered and / or non-circular orifice, so that by turning the adjustment means, the passage section offered to the application element can be modified.

Un avantage est que l'organe d'essorage n'est jamais contraint quelle que soit la position des moyens de réglage. Un inconvénient est que la section de passage n'est pas circulaire, ce qui peut conduire à un essorage non homogène de l'élément d'application.One advantage is that the wiper member is never forced regardless of the position of the adjustment means. A disadvantage is that the passage section is not circular, which can lead to non-homogeneous spinning of the application element.

La demande FR 2 605 198 décrit un dispositif dans lequel une bague de réglage tournant sur le récipient peut contraindre ou non l'organe d'essorage, selon le degré d'essorage recherché. Il existe le risque, comme pour certains dispositifs décrits dans EP 2 301 , d'une diminution des performances de l'organe d'essorage en cas de stockage prolongé sous contrainte.Requirement FR 2,605,198 describes a device in which an adjusting ring rotating on the container may or may not constrain the wiper member, depending on the desired degree of spinning. There is the risk, as for some devices described in EP 2,301 , a decrease in performance of the wiper member in the event of prolonged storage under stress.

Le brevet EP 1 046 358 divulgue un dispositif comportant un organe d'essorage adapté à l'essorage d'une tige plate, sans moyens de réglage de l'essorage.The patent EP 1 046 358 discloses a device comprising a wiper member adapted to the spinning of a flat rod, without means for adjusting the spin.

Un dispositif comportant deux organes d'essorage dont l'un est amovible est également connu.A device comprising two dewatering members, one of which is removable, is also known.

Il existe un besoin pour bénéficier d'un dispositif de conditionnement et d'application disposant de moyens de réglage de l'essorage et permettant de préserver les performances de l'organe d'essorage sur le long terme.There is a need for a conditioning and application device having means for adjusting the spin and to preserve the performance of the wiper member in the long term.

L'invention vise notamment à répondre à ce besoin.The invention aims in particular to meet this need.

L'invention a ainsi pour objet, selon l'un de ses aspects, un dispositif de conditionnement et d'application comportant :

  • un récipient contenant le produit à appliquer,
  • un applicateur comportant une tige se raccordant à une première extrémité à un organe de préhension et à une deuxième extrémité, opposée à la première, à un élément d'application,
  • un organe d'essorage disposé dans le récipient et comportant une portion déformable pour essorer l'élément d'application lorsque celui-ci est extrait du récipient,
  • un organe de réglage, mobile relativement à l'organe d'essorage, et agencé pour, sans jamais contraindre sensiblement la portion déformable de l'organe d'essorage au repos, quelle que soit sa position, prendre au moins une première position dans laquelle la déformation de la portion déformable est limitée par l'organe de réglage lors du passage à travers elle de l'élément d'application et au moins une deuxième position dans laquelle cette déformation n'est pas ou est moins limitée.
The invention thus has, according to one of its aspects, a packaging and application device comprising:
  • a container containing the product to be applied,
  • an applicator comprising a rod connected at one end to a gripping member and at a second end, opposite the first end, to an applicator element,
  • a wiper member disposed in the container and having a deformable portion for dewatering the applicator element when it is extracted from the container,
  • an adjustment member, movable relative to the wiper member, and arranged to, without ever substantially constraining the deformable portion of the wiper member at rest, whatever its position, take at least a first position in which the deformation of the deformable portion is limited by the adjusting member during the passage therethrough of the application element and at least a second position in which this deformation is not or is less limited.

L'invention permet de réaliser d'une manière simple un dispositif offrant au moins deux degrés d'essorage de l'élément d'application, par exemple un essorage fort et un essorage faible ou un essorage moyen et un essorage fort ou faible.The invention makes it possible to produce in a simple manner a device offering at least two degrees of spinning of the application element, for example a strong spin and a small spin or a medium spin and a strong spin or weak.

L'organe d'essorage peut être agencé pour se déployer sans s'étirer circonférentiellement.The wiper member may be arranged to deploy without circumferentially stretching.

Dans un exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, l'organe de réglage comporte un élément limiteur pouvant être positionné à proximité ou au contact de la portion déformable, de façon à limiter la déformation de celle-ci au passage à travers elle de l'élément d'application.In an exemplary implementation of the invention, the adjusting member comprises a limiting element that can be positioned near or in contact with the deformable portion, so as to limit the deformation thereof to the passage through it. the application element.

Cet élément limiteur présente par exemple une forme tubulaire de façon à être traversé par la tige et l'élément d'application.This limiter element has for example a tubular shape so as to be traversed by the rod and the applicator element.

L'élément limiteur peut présenter une section transversale circulaire.The limiter element may have a circular cross section.

L'élément limiteur peut être agencé pour essorer, le cas échéant, la tige et/ou l'élément d'application.The limiter element may be arranged to spin, if necessary, the rod and / or the application element.

L'organe de réglage peut avoir une section offerte au passage de l'élément d'application supérieure à celle définie par l'organe d'essorage, notamment un diamètre intérieur supérieur à celui de l'organe d'essorage, ou inférieure à celle définie par l'organe d'essorage, notamment un diamètre intérieur inférieur à celui de l'organe d'essorage.The regulating member may have a section provided for the passage of the applicator element greater than that defined by the wiper member, in particular an internal diameter greater than that of the wiper member, or less than that defined by the wiper member, in particular an internal diameter smaller than that of the wiper member.

L'élément d'application peut être agencé pour déformer la portion déformable de l'organe d'essorage lors de son passage à travers elle.The applicator element may be arranged to deform the deformable portion of the wiper member as it passes therethrough.

La portion déformable peut être agencée pour se déployer sans s'étirer.The deformable portion can be arranged to unfold without stretching.

La portion déformable peut définir une section de passage pour l'élément d'application de diamètre inférieur à celui de la tige hors rétreint éventuel.The deformable portion may define a passage section for the application element of diameter less than that of the stem, excluding any necking.

L'organe de réglage peut comporter une lèvre d'essorage, qui est par exemple réalisée d'une seule pièce avec le reste de l'organe de réglage.The adjustment member may comprise a squeezing lip, which is for example made in one piece with the rest of the adjusting member.

Cette lèvre d'essorage peut présenter un bord libre circulaire.This spin lip may have a circular free edge.

L'organe de réglage peut être configuré, dans un exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, pour se fixer de façon amovible sur le récipient.The adjustment member may be configured, in an exemplary implementation of the invention, to be fixed removably on the container.

L'organe de réglage peut également être configuré pour se fixer de façon amovible sur l'organe de préhension, ce qui peut permettre de fixer l'applicateur sur le récipient par l'intermédiaire de l'organe de réglage.The adjustment member may also be configured to be fixed removably on the gripping member, which may allow to fix the applicator on the container via the adjusting member.

L'organe de réglage peut éventuellement contribuer à l'esthétique du dispositif, par exemple en étant réalisé avec une couleur différente de celle de l'organe de préhension ou du récipient.The adjustment member may possibly contribute to the aesthetics of the device, for example by being made with a color different from that of the gripping member or the container.

L'organe de réglage peut comporter une jupe de montage filetée intérieurement, agencée pour être vissée sur le récipient, et un col fileté extérieurement, sur lequel peut se visser l'organe de préhension.The adjusting member may comprise an internally threaded mounting skirt, arranged to be screwed onto the container, and an externally threaded collar on which the gripping member can be screwed.

La tige peut présenter un rétreint venant se positionner de manière adjacente à la portion déformable, lorsque l'applicateur est en place sur l'organe de réglage et que ce dernier est fixé sur le récipient.The rod may have a constriction coming to be positioned adjacent to the deformable portion, when the applicator is in place on the adjustment member and the latter is fixed on the container.

L'organe de réglage peut encore, selon un autre exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, être fixé à demeure sur le récipient en étant par exemple mobile axialement et en rotation relativement au récipient.The adjustment member may also, according to another embodiment of the invention, be fixed permanently on the container being for example movable axially and in rotation relative to the container.

Le dispositif peut comporter une bague d'essorage surmontant l'organe de réglage. Ladite bague d'essorage peut définir intérieurement un canal présentant un diamètre inférieur ou égal à celui de la portion déformable.The device may comprise a wringing ring surmounting the adjusting member. Said spin ring may define internally a channel having a diameter less than or equal to that of the deformable portion.

L'un au moins du récipient et de l'organe de réglage peut comporter une rampe et l'autre au moins un relief coopérant avec cette rampe de façon à transformer un mouvement de rotation de l'organe de réglage en un déplacement axial de celui-ci relativement à l'organe d'essorage.At least one of the container and the control member may comprise a ramp and the other at least one relief cooperating with this ramp so as to transform a rotational movement of the adjustment member into an axial displacement of that relative to the wiper member.

La rampe peut comporter par exemple une rainure ou fente réalisée sur l'organe de réglage et le relief peut être un ergot ou une portion de filet engagé dans cette rainure ou fente.The ramp may comprise for example a groove or slot made on the adjustment member and the relief may be a lug or a portion of thread engaged in this groove or slot.

Dans un exemple de mise en oeuvre, l'organe de réglage comporte une fente et le récipient un ergot engagé dans cette fente et visible de l'extérieur, de façon à servir d'indicateur de réglage.In an exemplary implementation, the adjustment member comprises a slot and the container a lug engaged in this slot and visible from the outside, so as to serve as an adjustment indicator.

La portion déformable peut s'étendre sensiblement perpendiculairement à l'axe de la tige au repos, ou vers le haut ou vers le bas dans des variantes.The deformable portion may extend substantially perpendicular to the axis of the rod at rest, or upwards or downwards in variants.

La portion déformable de l'organe d'essorage peut être réalisée de façon à pouvoir se déformer relativement aisément, par exemple se déployer sans s'étirer.The deformable portion of the wiper member can be made to be able to deform relatively easily, for example unfold without stretching.

La portion déformable de l'organe d'essorage peut ainsi comporter par exemple au moins une fente, ce qui peut faciliter sa déformation au passage de l'élément d'application.The deformable portion of the wiper member may thus comprise for example at least one slot, which may facilitate its deformation at the passage of the application element.

La portion déformable peut comporter notamment une pluralité d'ailettes.The deformable portion may comprise in particular a plurality of fins.

La portion déformable peut encore comporter une lèvre ondulée.The deformable portion may further comprise a corrugated lip.

La présence d'au moins une fente, d'ailettes ou d'une lèvre ondulée peut permettre d'essorer de manière satisfaisante une grande variété d'organes d'application, notamment des organes d'application ayant une section transversale relativement grande par rapport à la section transversale de la tige et/ou relativement fragiles, car comportant par exemple des poils ou un flocage.The presence of at least one slit, fins or corrugated lip can enable a wide variety of application members to be satisfactorily squeezed out, especially application members having a relatively large cross-section relative to each other. at the cross section of the rod and / or relatively fragile, because for example comprising bristles or flocking.

La portion déformable de l'organe d'essorage peut comporter au moins une lèvre d'essorage ayant un bord libre radialement intérieur définissant un orifice de passage de l'élément d'application, le périmètre du bord libre étant strictement supérieur à celui de l'orifice observé en projection de dessus, par exemple grâce à la présence d'ondulations.The deformable portion of the wiper member may comprise at least one wiper lip having a radially inner free edge defining a passage orifice of the applicator element, the perimeter of the free edge being strictly greater than that of the wiper member. orifice observed in projection from above, for example due to the presence of corrugations.

Le périmètre du bord libre est par exemple supérieur à celui de la tige destinée à être essorée.The perimeter of the free edge is for example greater than that of the rod to be dewatered.

La présence des ondulations permet à la lèvre d'essorage de se déformer plus facilement au passage de l'élément d'application, lorsque celui-ci est inséré dans le récipient et/ou extrait de celui-ci, sans pour autant perdre sa capacité à essorer de manière satisfaisante l'élément d'application, et peut réduire le cas échéant l'effet de piston tout en essorant la tige.The presence of the corrugations allows the wiper lip to deform more easily to the passage of the application element, when it is inserted into the container and / or extracted from it, without losing its capacity to wring the applicator element satisfactorily, and can reduce the piston effect if necessary while squeezing the rod.

L'organe d'essorage peut être capable grâce à la présence d'au moins une fente, d'ailettes ou d'une lèvre ondulée, de s'adapter à un élément d'application ayant une variation relativement importante de sa section transversale, tout en assurant l'essorage de la tige supportant cet élément d'application.The wiper member may be capable, thanks to the presence of at least one slot, fins or corrugated lip, to adapt to an applicator element having a relatively large variation in its cross section, while ensuring the spinning rod supporting this application element.

L'organe d'essorage peut avoir au repos un diamètre intérieur proche de celui de la tige et lorsque l'élément d'application est introduit au travers de l'organe d'essorage, les ondulations de la lèvre d'essorage facilitent en se déployant l'élargissement de l'orifice défini par la lèvre d'essorage pour laisser passer l'élément d'application, sans provoquer de pression excessive susceptible de l'endommager. L'essorage peut rester doux alors qu'une lèvre d'essorage conventionnelle tend à se rigidifier en s'élargissant.The wiper member may have at rest an inner diameter close to that of the rod and when the applicator element is introduced through the wiper member, the corrugations of the wiper lip facilitate Deploying the enlargement of the orifice defined by the wiper lip to let the applicator element pass, without causing excessive pressure likely to damage it. The spin may remain soft while a conventional wiper lip tends to stiffen as it widens.

Par « ondulations », il faut comprendre une suite de dépressions et/ou de saillies formées par la lèvre d'essorage lorsque l'on se déplace dans le sens circonférentiel. Il peut s'agir d'incurvations ou de plis alternativement concaves et convexes dans le sens circonférentiel. Chaque ondulation de la lèvre d'essorage peut s'étendre, lorsque la lèvre d'essorage est observée de dessus, le long d'un axe orienté radialement. Tous les axes des ondulations peuvent se couper sensiblement au centre de l'orifice défini par la lèvre d'essorage.By "corrugations" is meant a succession of depressions and / or projections formed by the wiper lip when moving in the circumferential direction. It may be curvatures or alternately concave and convex folds in the circumferential direction. Each waving of the wiper lip may extend, when the wiper lip is observed from above, along a radially oriented axis. All the axes of the corrugations can be cut substantially in the center of the orifice defined by the spin lip.

Les axes des ondulations peuvent être orientés sensiblement perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal du dispositif ou se situer sensiblement sur un cône, lequel peut être convergent ou divergent vers le fond du récipient.The axes of the corrugations may be oriented substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the device or be located substantially on a cone, which may be convergent or divergent towards the bottom of the container.

L'élément limiteur peut avoir une extrémité positionnée en regard de la portion déformable et/ou à son contact, sans la contraindre sensiblement, c'est-à-dire sans entraîner de diminution des performances de l'organe d'essorage en raison de contraintes exercées par l'élément limiteur sur la portion déformable. L'élément limiteur peut ne pas venir au contact de la portion déformable lorsque l'organe de réglage est en place, au repos.The limiting element may have an end positioned facing the deformable portion and / or in contact with it, without substantially constraining it, that is to say without reducing the performance of the wiper member due to constraints exerted by the limiter element on the deformable portion. The limiter element may not come into contact with the deformable portion when the adjustment member is in place, at rest.

L'élément d'application peut comporter une brosse, et le produit est destiné par exemple à être appliqué sur les cils et/ou les sourcils.The applicator element may comprise a brush, and the product is intended for example to be applied to the eyelashes and / or the eyebrows.

L'élément d'application peut présenter, sur au moins une portion de sa longueur, une section transversale non circulaire.The applicator element may have, on at least a portion of its length, a non-circular cross section.

L'élément d'application peut comporter, le cas échéant, une âme excentrée et/ou faisant un angle avec l'axe longitudinal de la tige.The application element may comprise, where appropriate, an eccentric core and / or at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the rod.

L'élément d'application peut être évidé intérieurement et être élastiquement déformable ou non.The application element can be hollowed out internally and be elastically deformable or not.

L'élément d'application est encore, par exemple, destiné à l'application sur les lèvres ou la peau, notamment les paupières.The application element is still, for example, intended for application to the lips or the skin, especially the eyelids.

L'invention a encore pour objet un procédé de maquillage au moyen d'un dispositif tel que défini plus haut, dans lequel on maquille les matières kératiniques une première fois avec l'organe de réglage dans une première position puis une deuxième fois avec l'organe de réglage dans une deuxième position, différente de la première.The subject of the invention is also a process for making up by means of a device as defined above, in which the keratin materials are makeup first time with the adjusting member in a first position and then a second time with the adjusting member in a second position, different from the first.

On peut par exemple, lorsque l'organe de réglage est séparable du récipient, séparer l'organe de réglage avec l'organe de préhension du récipient, traiter les matières kératiniques, puis replacer l'organe de réglage et l'organe de préhension sur le récipient. Ensuite, on peut séparer l'applicateur en laissant l'organe de réglage sur le récipient et procéder à un nouveau traitement des matières kératiniques.For example, when the adjusting member is separable from the container, separating the adjustment member with the gripping member of the container, treating the keratin materials, then replacing the adjusting member and the gripping member on the recipient. Then, the applicator can be separated by leaving the adjustment member on the container and proceed to a new treatment of the keratin materials.

On a représenté à la figure 1 un dispositif de conditionnement et d'application comportant un récipient 2 d'axe longitudinal X et un applicateur 3 pouvant être séparé du récipient 2.FIG. 1 shows a packaging and applicator device comprising a container 2 having a longitudinal axis X and an applicator 3 that can be separated from the container 2.

Le dispositif 1 comporte un organe de réglage 4, amovible, qui permet la fixation de l'applicateur 3 sur le récipient 2.The device 1 comprises a detachable adjusting member 4 which allows the applicator 3 to be fixed to the receptacle 2.

L'applicateur 3 comporte une tige 7 qui se raccorde à une extrémité à un organe de préhension 8 et à l'autre extrémité à un élément d'application 10, lequel est par exemple une brosse à mascara.The applicator 3 comprises a rod 7 which is connected at one end to a gripping member 8 and at the other end to an applicator element 10, which is for example a mascara brush.

Le récipient 2 comporte dans l'exemple considéré un col 11, fileté extérieurement, et l'organe de réglage 4 comporte, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 5, une jupe de montage 13, filetée intérieurement, agencée pour se visser sur le col 11.The container 2 comprises in the example in question an externally threaded neck 11, and the adjusting member 4 comprises, as can be seen in FIG. 5, a mounting skirt 13, threaded internally, arranged to be screwed onto the Col 11.

L'organe de réglage 4 comporte également un col 14 fileté extérieurement, sur lequel peut se visser une jupe de montage 15 de l'organe de préhension 8, filetée intérieurement.The adjusting member 4 also comprises an externally threaded neck 14, on which can be screwed a mounting skirt 15 of the gripping member 8, threaded internally.

L'organe de réglage 4 comporte un élément limiteur 18, de forme tubulaire, qui se raccorde supérieurement à une paroi transversale 19 réunissant la jupe de montage 13 et le col 14.The adjusting member 4 comprises a limiting element 18, of tubular shape, which is connected superiorly to a transverse wall 19 joining the mounting skirt 13 and the neck 14.

Dans des variantes non illustrées, l'organe de réglage 4 peut comporter d'autres moyens de fixation amovible sur le récipient 2 et l'organe de préhension 8, par exemple des reliefs agencés pour s'encliqueter sur le récipient ou l'organe de préhension. La fixation peut encore s'effectuer par friction.In non-illustrated variants, the adjustment member 4 may comprise other means of removable attachment on the container 2 and the gripping member 8, for example reliefs arranged to snap on the container or the organ of gripping. Fixing can still be done by friction.

Le récipient 2 loge, dans l'exemple considéré, un organe d'essorage 20 qui comporte un corps tubulaire 21 muni à son extrémité supérieure d'un rebord 22 prenant appui sur l'extrémité supérieure 24 du col 11.The container 2 houses, in the example under consideration, a wiper member 20 which comprises a tubular body 21 provided at its upper end with a flange 22 bearing on the upper end 24 of the neck 11.

L'organe d'essorage 20 comporte également, dans l'exemple illustré, une collerette 26 inclinée vers le haut, qui est agencée pour pouvoir franchir le col 11 lors de son montage et qui s'applique sur un épaulement 30 à la base du col 11.The wiper member 20 also comprises, in the example illustrated, an upwardly inclined flange 26, which is arranged to be able to cross the neck 11 during its assembly and which is applied to a shoulder 30 at the base of the Col 11.

Dans l'exemple illustré, l'organe d'essorage 20 comporte un bossage annulaire 32 venant s'encliqueter dans une gorge 33 prévue sur la surface radialement intérieure du col 11.In the example illustrated, the wiper member 20 comprises an annular boss 32 which snaps into a groove 33 provided on the radially inner surface of the neck 11.

L'organe d'essorage 20 comporte une portion déformable 36 qui, dans l'exemple considéré et comme on peut le voir sur la figure 6, comporte une pluralité d'ailettes 38 s'étendant radialement vers l'intérieur et définissant un orifice 40 pour le passage de la tige 7 et de l'élément d'application 10.The wiper member 20 comprises a deformable portion 36 which, in the example in question and as can be seen in FIG. 6, comprises a plurality of fins 38 extending radially inwards and defining an orifice 40 for the passage of the rod 7 and the application element 10.

Les ailettes 38 sont séparées par des fentes radiales 39.The fins 38 are separated by radial slots 39.

Le diamètre D du cercle passant par le sommet des ailettes 38 est par exemple légèrement inférieur au diamètre de la tige 7. Cette dernière présente avantageusement, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2, un rétreint annulaire 44 qui vient se positionner de manière adjacente aux ailettes 38 lorsque le dispositif 1 est fermé, de sorte que celles-ci ne sont pas contraintes par la tige 7 lors du stockage. Le diamètre minimum de la tige 7 au niveau du rétreint est par exemple de 2,5 mm, et le diamètre hors rétreint est par exemple de 4 mm.The diameter D of the circle passing through the apex of the fins 38 is, for example, slightly less than the diameter of the rod 7. The latter advantageously has, as can be seen in FIG. 2, an annular necking 44 which is positioned adjacently to the fins 38 when the device 1 is closed, so that they are not constrained by the rod 7 during storage. The minimum diameter of the rod 7 at the necking is for example 2.5 mm, and the non-shrinking diameter is for example 4 mm.

Lorsque l'organe de réglage 4 est en place sur le col 11, l'extrémité inférieure de l'élément limiteur 18 se positionne à proximité ou au contact de la portion déformable 36, sans toutefois contraindre outre mesure les ailettes 38 pour ne pas que la portion déformable 36 perde sa capacité à se déformer.When the adjusting member 4 is in place on the neck 11, the lower end of the limiter member 18 is positioned near or in contact with the deformable portion 36, without however unduly forcing the fins 38 to not only the deformable portion 36 loses its ability to deform.

Le dispositif 1 peut s'utiliser de la façon suivante.The device 1 can be used as follows.

L'utilisateur peut dévisser l'applicateur 3 en laissant l'organe de réglage 4 soit sur le récipient 2 comme représenté à la figure 2, soit sur l'applicateur 3 comme illustré à la figure 3, selon qu'il souhaite respectivement un essorage plus poussé ou moins poussé de l'élément d'application 10.The user can unscrew the applicator 3 leaving the adjustment member 4 either on the container 2 as shown in FIG. 2, or on the applicator 3 as illustrated in FIG. 3, depending on whether it desires respectively a spin further or less pushed from the application element 10.

En l'absence de l'organe de réglage 4, les ailettes 38 peuvent, comme illustré à la figure 7, fléchir librement vers le haut au passage de l'élément d'application 10, ce qui peut permettre d'obtenir un élément d'application 10 moins essoré et plus chargé en produit.In the absence of the adjusting member 4, the fins 38 may, as illustrated in FIG. 7, flex freely upwards as the applicator element 10 passes, which may make it possible to obtain an element d application 10 less wrung and more loaded product.

Lorsque l'organe de réglage 4 est présent sur le récipient 2, comme illustré à la figure 8, l'élément limiteur 18 s'oppose à la déformation vers le haut des ailettes 38 au passage de l'élément d'application 10, de sorte que ce dernier est plus fortement essoré et moins chargé en produit.When the adjusting member 4 is present on the container 2, as illustrated in FIG. 8, the limiter element 18 opposes the upward deformation of the fins 38 when the application element 10 passes, so that it is more strongly wrung out and less loaded product.

L'organe d'essorage 20 peut être réalisé différemment et l'orifice 40 pour le passage de la tige 7 et de l'élément d'application 10 peut encore être défini par une lèvre ondulée 60, comme illustré aux figures 9 et 10.The wiper member 20 may be made differently and the orifice 40 for the passage of the rod 7 and the application element 10 may be further defined by a corrugated lip 60, as illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10.

La lèvre 60 comporte par exemple plusieurs ondulations 61 dans le sens circonférentiel.The lip 60 comprises for example several corrugations 61 in the circumferential direction.

Les ondulations 61 de l'organe d'essorage 20 peuvent varier en amplitude et en nombre.The corrugations 61 of the wiper member 20 may vary in amplitude and in number.

L'organe d'essorage 20 peut par exemple en comporter entre 2 et 12, voire entre 4 et 10. Elles peuvent être régulièrement ou irrégulièrement réparties. Elles peuvent toutes avoir la même amplitude, ou en variante être différentes. Deux ondulations adjacentes peuvent présenter des profils différents, le cas échéant.The wiper member 20 may for example comprise between 2 and 12, or between 4 and 10. They may be regularly or irregularly distributed. They can all have the same amplitude, or alternatively be different. Two adjacent corrugations may have different profiles, if any.

Avantageusement, le bord libre 62 de la lèvre d'essorage ne s'étend pas entièrement dans un plan, en l'absence de contraintes.Advantageously, the free edge 62 of the spin lip does not extend entirely in a plane, in the absence of constraints.

La lèvre d'essorage 60 peut s'étendre selon un plan médian sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du dispositif ou s'étendre généralement selon un cône, soit convergeant en direction du fond du récipient comme illustré à la figure 9, soit en direction de la sortie du récipient.The wiper lip 60 may extend along a median plane substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the device or may extend generally in a cone, or converge towards the bottom of the container as shown in FIG. 9, or in the direction from the outlet of the container.

La lèvre d'essorage 60 peut avoir une épaisseur constante, ou en variante, une épaisseur variable. Elle peut par exemple être plus mince en un point proche de son bord libre 62 et plus épaisse en un point plus éloigné de son bord libre.The wiper lip 60 may have a constant thickness, or alternatively, a variable thickness. It may for example be thinner at a point near its free edge 62 and thicker at a point farther from its free edge.

La lèvre d'essorage peut présenter, dans le sens circonférentiel, à une distance donnée de l'axe longitudinal X du dispositif, une épaisseur sensiblement constante, par exemple variant de moins de 10 % sur un tour complet. Par contre, cette épaisseur peut varier lorsque l'on se rapproche de l'axe longitudinal X.The wiper lip may have, in the circumferential direction, at a given distance from the longitudinal axis X of the device, a substantially constant thickness, for example varying by less than 10% over a complete revolution. On the other hand, this thickness can vary when one approaches the longitudinal axis X.

L'épaisseur de la lèvre d'essorage peut par exemple être comprise entre 0,1 et 0,8 mm. Elle peut par exemple être d'environ 0,2 mm au niveau du bord libre et de 0,5 mm environ en un point de la lèvre d'essorage plus éloigné du bord libre 62, par exemple à la périphérie de la lèvre d'essorage.The thickness of the wiper lip may for example be between 0.1 and 0.8 mm. It may for example be about 0.2 mm at the free edge and about 0.5 mm at a point of the wiper lip further from the free edge 62, for example at the periphery of the lip of spinning.

La lèvre d'essorage 60 peut se déployer sous la poussée de l'élément d'application 10 avant éventuellement de s'étirer de manière élastique. Lors du déploiement de la lèvre d'essorage 60, les ondulations 61 peuvent avoir tendance à s'aplanir, la lèvre d'essorage étant observée depuis le centre de l'orifice 40 défini par celle-ci.The wiper lip 60 can be deployed under the pressure of the applicator element 10 before possibly stretching elastically. When deploying the wiper lip 60, the corrugations 61 may tend to flatten, the wiper lip being observed from the center of the orifice 40 defined by it.

L'orifice 40 de l'organe d'essorage peut être configuré pour avoir une aptitude à passer d'un diamètre réduit permettant l'essorage de la tige 7 à un plus grand diamètre permettant l'essorage de l'élément d'application 10, sans faire nécessairement appel à un allongement important de la matière de la lèvre d'essorage.The orifice 40 of the wiper member may be configured to have an ability to pass from a reduced diameter allowing the squeezing of the rod 7 to a larger diameter allowing the spinning of the application element 10 , without necessarily requiring a significant elongation of the material of the squeezing lip.

Lorsque l'organe de réglage 4 est en place, l'élément limiteur 18 n'appuie pas ou peu sur la lèvre 60, de sorte que celle-ci peut conserver ses caractéristiques d'essorage dans le temps.When the adjusting member 4 is in place, the limiting member 18 does not press or slightly on the lip 60, so that it can maintain its spin characteristics over time.

On a représenté aux figures 11 à 13 un dispositif 1 selon une variante de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, dans laquelle l'organe de réglage 4 est monté à demeure sur le récipient 2.FIGS. 11 to 13 show a device 1 according to an alternative embodiment of the invention, in which the adjusting member 4 is permanently mounted on the container 2.

L'organe de réglage 4 comporte un col fileté 14, permettant la fixation de l'organe de préhension 8 de l'applicateur 3.The adjusting member 4 comprises a threaded neck 14, allowing the attachment of the gripping member 8 of the applicator 3.

Dans l'exemple considéré, l'organe de réglage 4 est monté sur le récipient 2 de façon à se déplacer axialement lorsqu'en entraîné en rotation.In the example, the adjusting member 4 is mounted on the container 2 so as to move axially when driven in rotation.

L'organe de réglage 4 comporte par exemple une jupe 70 qui remplace la jupe 13 filetée intérieurement de l'exemple de la figure 5 et qui peut tourner autour d'une portion supérieure 71 du récipient 2, pourvue d'au moins un relief 72 tel que par exemple un ergot.The adjusting member 4 comprises for example a skirt 70 which replaces the internally threaded skirt 13 of the example of FIG. 5 and which can rotate around an upper portion 71 of the container 2, provided with at least one relief 72 such as for example a lug.

Cet ergot 72 peut être engagé dans une fente 74 de la jupe 70 et peut se déplacer dans celle-ci de sorte qu'une rotation de l'organe de réglage 4 s'accompagne de son déplacement selon l'axe X.This lug 72 can be engaged in a slot 74 of the skirt 70 and can move in it so that a rotation of the adjusting member 4 is accompanied by its displacement along the axis X.

Dans l'exemple illustré, l'ergot 72 est visible à travers la fente 74 et peut servir d'indicateur de réglage.In the illustrated example, the lug 72 is visible through the slot 74 and can serve as an adjustment indicator.

Dans une variante non illustrée, le ou les reliefs du récipient servant à retenir l'organe de réglage peuvent être non apparents et le récipient et l'organe de réglage peuvent comporter des indications renseignant l'utilisateur sur la position prise par l'organe de réglage.In a non-illustrated variant, the relief or reliefs of the container used to hold the adjustment member may be non-apparent and the container and the adjustment member may comprise indications informing the user of the position taken by the control member. setting.

Selon la position angulaire de l'organe de réglage 4, l'élément limiteur 18 peut se rapprocher ou s'éloigner de la portion déformable 36 de l'organe d'essorage 20, comme illustré à la figure 13, la distance d entre les deux étant par exemple sensiblement nulle lorsque l'organe de réglage 4 est dans la position de la figure 11, correspondant à un essorage poussé, et maximale lorsque l'organe de réglage 4 est dans la position de la figure 12, correspondant à un essorage moins fort.Depending on the angular position of the adjusting member 4, the limiter element 18 can move towards or away from the deformable portion 36 of the wiper member 20, as shown in FIG. 13, the distance d between the two being for example substantially zero when the adjusting member 4 is in the position of Figure 11, corresponding to a spin, and maximum when the adjusting member 4 is in the position of Figure 12, corresponding to a spin less strong.

L'organe de réglage 4 pourrait encore être réalisé différemment et s'étendre par exemple sensiblement sur toute la longueur du récipient.The adjusting member 4 could be made differently and extend for example substantially over the entire length of the container.

Dans les exemples illustrés, c'est l'élément limiteur 18 qui se déplace relativement au récipient 2.In the examples illustrated, it is the limiting element 18 which moves relative to the container 2.

Dans une variante non illustrée, l'élément limiteur est fixe relativement au récipient et c'est l'organe d'essorage qui se déplace axialement relativement à l'élément limiteur et au récipient 2, étant dans ce cas solidaire d'un organe de réglage qui permet d'effectuer ce déplacement.In a non-illustrated variant, the limiter element is fixed relative to the container and it is the wiper member that moves axially relative to the limiter member and the container 2, being in this case secured to a body member. setting that allows this move.

Selon une variante de réalisation représentée sur la figure 17, l'organe de réglage 4 peut être surmonté d'une bague d'essorage 5. Cette bague d'essorage comporte dans cet exemple une douille 51, une bride radiale 52 et une cheminée 53.According to an alternative embodiment shown in FIG. 17, the adjustment member 4 may be surmounted by a spin ring 5. This spinning ring comprises in this example a bushing 51, a radial flange 52 and a chimney 53 .

La douille 51 peut être intérieurement revêtue d'un filetage adapté à coopérer avec le col fileté 14 de l'organe de réglage 4.The bushing 51 may be internally coated with a thread adapted to cooperate with the threaded neck 14 of the adjusting member 4.

En position montée finale de la bague d'essorage 5 sur l'organe de réglage 4, la bride radiale 52 peut venir en butée sur le col 14.In the final mounted position of the spin ring 5 on the adjusting member 4, the radial flange 52 can abut on the neck 14.

La cheminée 53 peut comporter une partie s'étendant dans l'élément limiteur 18 et une partie faisant saillie vers l'extérieur. Dans cet exemple, la partie faisant saillie vers l'extérieur peut comprendre un filetage externe adapté à assurer la fixation par vissage de l'organe de préhension 8.The chimney 53 may include a portion extending into the limiter member 18 and an outwardly protruding portion. In this example, the outwardly protruding portion may comprise an external thread adapted to ensure the fastening by screwing of the gripping member 8.

Cette cheminée 53 définit intérieurement un canal 530. Ce canal peut présenter une section transversale de forme circulaire. Un tel canal comporte un diamètre m qui est par exemple sensiblement égal au diamètre D défini par la portion déformable de l'organe d'essorage, voire inférieur ou supérieur. Avec un tel canal, l'élément d'application 10 peut subir un double essorage.This chimney 53 internally defines a channel 530. This channel may have a cross section of circular shape. Such a channel has a diameter m which is for example substantially equal to the diameter D defined by the deformable portion of the wiper member, or even lower or higher. With such a channel, the application element 10 can undergo a double spin.

Un telle bague d'essorage 5 permet ainsi de diminuer davantage la charge de produit sur l'élément d'application 10 ce qui assure un maquillage plus fin.Such spin ring 5 thus further reduces the product load on the applicator element 10 which ensures a finer makeup.

L'invention n'est pas limitée à un type d'élément d'application particulier et l'élément d'application 10 est par exemple autre qu'une brosse à mascara, étant par exemple un peigne, un embout floqué ou non, par exemple en élastomère, un feutre, une mousse ou un pinceau, ou encore un élément d'application évidé, déformable ou non au passage de l'organe d'essorage, tel qu'illustré à la figure 14.The invention is not limited to a particular type of application element and the application element 10 is for example other than a mascara brush, being for example a comb, a tip flocked or not, by example elastomer, a felt, a foam or a brush, or a hollow application member, deformable or not to the passage of the wiper member, as shown in Figure 14.

L'élément d'application 10 peut être de plus grande dimension transversale inférieure ou supérieure au diamètre de la tige 7.The application element 10 may be of greater transverse dimension smaller or larger than the diameter of the rod 7.

L'élément d'application peut être une brosse comportant une âme 80 et des poils 81 s'étendant à partir de l'âme, de surface enveloppe présentant une forme généralement cylindrique de révolution autour de l'axe de l'âme, ou de section non circulaire, comme illustré à la figure 15.The applicator element may be a brush comprising a core 80 and bristles 81 extending from the core, having an envelope surface having a generally cylindrical shape of revolution about the axis of the core, or non-circular section, as shown in Figure 15.

L'âme 80 peut être centrée au sein de la section transversale ou excentrée, comme illustré sur cette même figure.The core 80 may be centered within the cross section or eccentric, as shown in this same figure.

L'organe de réglage 4 peut être réalisé avec au moins une lèvre d'essorage 90 comme illustré à la figure 16, laquelle peut définir une section de passage pour l'élément d'application qui est par exemple supérieure, inférieure ou égale à celle définie par l'organe d'essorage 20.The adjusting member 4 can be made with at least one wiper lip 90 as illustrated in FIG. 16, which can define a passage section for the element for example, which is greater than, less than or equal to that defined by the wiper member 20.

La lèvre 90 présente par exemple un bord libre 91 de forme circulaire centré sur l'axe X et de diamètre n qui est par exemple sensiblement égal au diamètre D défini par la portion déformable de l'organe d'essorage, voire inférieur ou supérieur. En présence de la lèvre d'essorage 90, l'élément d'application 10 peut subir un double essorage. Il est également possible de prévoir un organe de réglage 4 avec une telle lèvre 90 surmonté d'une bague d'essorage 5 (non représenté). Dans ce cas, le diamètre m peut être prévu égal, inférieur ou supérieur au diamètre n. Avec un tel agencement, ledit élément d'application 10 peut ainsi subir un triple essorage.The lip 90 has for example a free edge 91 of circular shape centered on the axis X and of diameter n which is for example substantially equal to the diameter D defined by the deformable portion of the wiper member, or even lower or higher. In the presence of the wiper lip 90, the applicator element 10 can undergo a double spin. It is also possible to provide a control member 4 with such a lip 90 surmounted by a spin ring 5 (not shown). In this case, the diameter m may be provided equal to, smaller than or greater than the diameter n. With such an arrangement, said applicator element 10 can thus undergo a triple spin.

Dans des variantes non illustrées, l'élément limiteur 18 présente un diamètre intérieur qui est par exemple sensiblement égal à celui de l'organe d'essorage 20 ou qui peut encore être inférieur.In non-illustrated variants, the limiter element 18 has an inside diameter which is for example substantially equal to that of the wiper member 20 or which may be lower.

L'organe d'essorage peut être réalisé dans l'un au moins des matériaux de la liste suivante : élastomère, vulcanisé ou non, silicone, nitrile, butyle, EPDM, élastomère thermoplastique, SIS, SEAS, Hytrel®, Pebax®, PE, PP, PET, PA, PVC, PS, cette liste n'étant pas exhaustive.The wiper member may be made of at least one material from the following list: elastomer, vulcanized or not, silicone, nitrile, butyl, EPDM, thermoplastic elastomer, SIS, SEAS, Hytrel ®, Pebax ®, PE , PP, PET, PA, PVC, PS, this list is not exhaustive.

L'organe d'essorage peut être floqué, le cas échéant.The wiper member can be flocked, if necessary.

L'expression « comportant un » doit être comprise comme étant synonyme de « comportant au moins un », sauf si le contraire est spécifié.The expression "having one" shall be understood as being synonymous with "having at least one", unless the opposite is specified.
