Definitions

  • the present invention relates to packaging and application assemblies for applying a product to the nails.
  • Nail polish and nail care products are usually applied using brushes made by stapling a tuft of hair at the end of a stem.
  • French patent 1,409,201 discloses an applicator whose handle is curved and made of an elastically deformable material, so as to allow the user to exert a slight pressure on the sides of the handle to tighten or enlarge the opening of the bundle of bristles, in order to to adapt to the width of the treated nail.
  • This applicator has the disadvantage mentioned above.
  • the European patent application EP 0 916 282 A1 thus discloses an applicator having an applicator element having a curved shape, intended to be housed in a container provided with a wiper member formed at least in part by a porous material elastically deformable. The presence of the wiper makes it difficult for the user to dose the amount of product removed by the applicator.
  • French patent 2,836,029 describes devices for making a makeup called “french manicure ", which consists of depositing a white product at the end of nail varnish to mimic the white of the nails.
  • the applicators disclosed in this patent are not intended to completely treat nails.
  • French patent 1,174,544 discloses an applicator comprising a rod provided at one end with a flat blade whose distal edge is rectilinear. In the absence of use, the stem is inserted into a narrow-necked container.
  • the publication WO 2006/068857 discloses a device for making up the nails, comprising several blades of different sizes joined by a central portion.
  • the invention thus relates to a packaging and application assembly according to claim 1 and an applicator according to claim 26.
  • the flexible blade is curved so as to define an applicator face generally concave and may have a convex distal edge when observed from above.
  • the invention also relates to an applicator for taking a product contained in a container and applying it to the nails, comprising a curved flexible blade having an applicator face defining a developable surface, for example cylindrical.
  • the invention thus also relates to an applicator for taking a product contained in a container and applying it to the nails, comprising a curved flexible blade defining a generally concave applicator face and having a convex distal edge when observed from above.
  • the invention can allow the user to accurately measure the amount of product removed by the applicator, given the consistency of the product and / or the manner in which the product is taken.
  • the curved shape of the flexible blade can in particular facilitate the removal of the product.
  • the absence of hair bundle avoids the formation of streaks during the deposit of the product on the nail.
  • the shape of the blade can facilitate application to the nails and can quickly achieve quality makeup.
  • the viscosity of the product is measured at 25 ° C. using a RHEOMAT 180 viscometer (LAMY company) equipped with a mobile MS-R1, MS-R2, MS-R3, MS-R4 or MS-R5, chosen depending on the consistency of the product, running at 200 rpm -1 . The measurement is performed after 10 minutes of rotation.
  • the flexible blade has a completely smooth applicator face.
  • the flexible blade may comprise reliefs on the longitudinal sides of the applicator face, for example ribs. These reliefs can, by pressing on the finger and / or on the sides of the nail, allow to remove at least a portion of the applicator face from a predefined distance of the nail, which can facilitate the formation of a product deposit of controlled thickness.
  • the flexible blade defines opposed bearing surfaces for the fingers, so as to allow the user to modify as desired the curvature of the applicator face by tightening more or less the soft blade between his fingers.
  • bearing surfaces may be defined, for example, by wings extending on either side of an upper wall of the blade, which defines the back.
  • the flexible blade may have a non-constant thickness, for example to allow increased flexibility during use. This can reduce the pressure exerted by the blade on the nail and improve the comfort of the makeup and the quality of it.
  • the flexible blade When the flexible blade has an upper wall defining the back with wings disposed on either side of the upper wall, the latter may have a thickness of material smaller than the wings. When applied, the top wall can bend more easily. In a variant, the wings have a thicker wall than the back. This can make it easier to deform the distal edge of the blade by pressing the wings, transmitting the effect better. The user can more easily control the deformation of the distal edge. This can further help to move the finger support area further away from the one carrying the product.
  • the flexible blade can be connected to a handle, for example via a thicker portion which can be full and of circular cross section or other.
  • the flexible blade can be made in one piece with the handle.
  • the flexible blade may be made of an elastomeric thermoplastic or in any other material that can give the blade a certain flexibility and is compatible with the possible solvent (s) contained in the product.
  • the flexible blade may be made of an elastically deformable material having a hardness of 25 to 60 Shore A, for example.
  • the flexible blade may be made optionally in a flexible metal or in a complex comprising several layers of different materials, laminated together or joined by overinjection.
  • the flexibility of the blade can, in an exemplary implementation of the invention, be such that the blade is flattened substantially when pressed against a flat surface.
  • the blade may comprise in at least some parts reinforcement for reinforcing and / or a load of fibers.
  • the flexible blade advantageously has a convex distal edge, when observed from above.
  • the distal edge has, for example, at its apex, a radius of curvature of between 4 and 20 mm.
  • the flexible blade may have a generally symmetrical shape with respect to a longitudinal median plane.
  • the flexible blade can be flocked, if necessary.
  • the applicator may comprise a handle on which the blade is fixed.
  • the flexible blade can be made with a gripping portion formed by molding and / or cutting with it.
  • the longitudinal axis of the blade can be confused with the longitudinal axis of the handle or the gripping portion or make a non-zero angle therewith.
  • the flexible blade can be fixed immovably on the handle, removably or not.
  • the applicator may comprise, where appropriate, a device for adjusting the curvature of the applicator face, which may or may not be configured to serve as a gripping member.
  • the flexible blade can be adjustably attached to the aforementioned handle.
  • the handle and the flexible blade can cooperate to allow the user to vary the shape of the applicator face, for example to adapt to the shape of the treated nail and / or the consistency of the product.
  • the applicator When the applicator has a handle and the blade is movable relative to the handle, it can be arranged to constrain the blade more or less according to its position on the handle.
  • At least one of the blade and the handle may comprise reliefs allowing adjustment in increments of the curvature of the applicator face. Alternatively, the adjustment can be made continuously.
  • the handle may optionally comprise a movable adjustment member whose displacement is accompanied by a modification of the curvature.
  • the modification of the curvature of the applicator face may result from a stress exerted laterally on two opposite outer sides of the blade, for example, and / or a more or less significant stretching thereof.
  • the stress can be exerted on the blade by the handle or by another adjusting member, for example a ring engaged on the blade and movable axially relative thereto. By moving the ring on the blade, it can be more or less tight and curvature correspondingly.
