Definitions

  • Such brushes require the user to adapt the gesture because they do not allow it to comb the eyelashes or eyebrows as with a conventional brush whose soul is not inclined relative to the longitudinal axis of the rod .
  • the inclination of the core can also improve the quality of the spin, the latter being relatively homogeneous, and can reduce the risk of fouling of the brush.
  • the substantially rectilinear portion of the core of the brush may form an angle with the longitudinal axis of the lower rod at 20 °, for example between 0.2 and 15 °, preferably between 1 and 10 °, better between 5 and 10 °. and 10 °. Alternatively, the angle may be greater than 20 °.
  • the envelope surface may be of non-constant cross section over most of the length of the brush.
  • the applicator may comprise at least two bristles of different diameters.
  • the bristles may have a larger transverse dimension of between 6.5 / 100 and 40/100 mm, for example.
  • the applicator may comprise at least one bristle made of an elastically deformable material.
  • the applicator may comprise a mixture of bristles.
  • the applicator may comprise bristles made otherwise than by injection molding with the core, and the brush may comprise at least one portion having curved bristles extending in a direction directed from the core, for example as described in Requirement US 2004/0168698 , whose contents are incorporated by reference.
  • extending in an oriented manner it is to be understood that the curved hairs extend with an orientation general that is defined during the manufacture of the brush and not with a totally random orientation.
  • the bristles may in particular be oriented in the same circumferential direction around the core.
  • the bristles of the brush may be curved by contact with a hot surface, including a surface in relative motion relative to the brush.
  • the brush may comprise for example between 5 and 80 hairs per turn, or between 15 and 40, in particular between 10 and 50 hairs per turn.
  • the brush may also have between 5 and 20 hairs per turn only.
  • the number of hairs per turn corresponds to the number of hair ends counted by a fixed observer during a rotation of 180 ° of the brush around his soul.
  • the applicator may comprise twisted bristles, for example as described in the patent US 6,390,708 , whose contents are incorporated by reference.
  • the rod can be connected to a gripping member.
  • the gripping member may be arranged to seal a container containing the product to be applied.
  • the gripping member 6 is arranged to seal the container 2 at the end of its screwing on the neck 8, in a manner known per se.
  • the brush 5 comprises a core 10 formed by two twisted metal strands, this core 10 having a proximal portion fixed in a housing of the rod 4, for example being forcibly inserted into this housing.

  • the rectilinear portion 10a is connected to the proximal portion engaged in the rod 4 forming a bend.
  • the latter is, in this example, in the vicinity of the distal end 4a of the rod, but could also be located at a greater distance from the rod.
  • the substantially rectilinear portion 10a of the core 10 carries bristles 11 held by clamping between the twisted strands of the core 10 and extending substantially radially from blade.
  • FIG. 2 shows the envelope surface E defined by the free ends of the bristles 11 of the brush 5.
  • the distance d between the X axis and the Y axis at the free end 5 a of the brush is, for example, less than or equal to 4.5 mm, being for example close to 3 mm.
  • the distance d depends on the length of the brush and may be greater than 4.5 mm without departing from the scope of the present invention.
  • the envelope surface E defines at least one substantially planar face 12 having a generatrix extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis X of the rod 4, as can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the brush 5 comprises, as illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6, three other flat faces 16 that are not parallel to the axis X, one of which opposite the face 12 mentioned above has a decreasing width towards the free end of the brush and the other two have increasing widths in the same direction.
  • the envelope surface E may have a distal portion in the form of a truncated pyramid, as illustrated in FIG. 2. It could be the same in the vicinity of the rod 4, to facilitate the passage through the wiper 7.
  • the flat face 12 extends for example along the axis X over a distance w which represents more than half of the total length k of the apparent part of the core, better more than two thirds of this length k, as illustrated in FIG.
  • This blank is machined in order to give it an eccentric shape in section with respect to the Y axis.
  • the cut blank may for example be one of the brushes described in the application FR-A1-2 811 525 .
  • the face 16 opposite to the face 12 may for example be machined so as to approach the core in the direction of the rod 4.
  • the other two faces 16, opposite, can be machined so as to approach the soul away from the rod 4.
  • the blank can be cut while the soul is already attached to the rod.
  • the core 10 is bent at its exit from the rod 4 by an angle ⁇ to orient the flat face 12 substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis X of the rod 4.
  • the brush is machined and / or bent before being fixed on the rod.
  • the user unscrews the applicator and extracts the brush 5 from the container 2.
  • the user can easily use the applicator 3 without having to first identify the orientation of the core 10 around the X axis during the application of the product and the combing of the eyelashes.
  • the user can also, if necessary, rotate the brush 5 on itself around the axis X.
  • the inclination of the core can promote the combing and bending of the eyelashes by allowing better penetration of the bristles of the brush within the eyelash fringe.
  • the envelope surface E of the brush may have in cross section, in at least one point of its length, another shape, for example triangular as illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 15.
  • the brush defines three longitudinal ridges 15 and three substantially planar faces extending between the crests, one face 12 of which extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rod and two other faces 16.
  • the cross section of the envelope surface E of the brush is substantially triangular and constant over the entire length of the brush.
  • the core 10 occupies within the cross section a position that varies when moving longitudinally.
  • the core 10 is closer to the face 12 of the side of the rod than the opposite side.
  • the cross section may not be constant, as shown in Figure 16.
  • the cross section of the brush is triangular ends and hexagonal uneven between the two ends.
  • the flat face 12 is of generally isosceles triangular shape, being delimited by ridges 15.

  • the cross section of the brush is square.
  • the brush may also, for example, comprise a circular cross-sectional envelope surface with at least one flat, as illustrated in FIG. 11. This flattened surface may define the generatrix face 12 parallel to the longitudinal axis X of the rod 4.
  • the face 12 is flat, but it is not beyond the scope of the present invention when the face 12 is defined by a generator moving parallel to the longitudinal axis X in a non-directional path. straight.
  • FIG. 12 illustrates a brush comprising at least one concave face 12 of generatrix parallel to the X axis and in FIG. 13 a brush with at least one convex face 12.
