Definitions

  • the invention relates more particularly to applicators comprising a core and application elements supported by the core, such applicators being also called brushes or combs.
  • the most commonly used brushes for the application of mascara on eyelashes have a generally elongated envelope surface and are aimed at making up the largest number of eyelashes at a time.
  • the European patent application EP 1 649 777 discloses relatively short brushes whose bristles define a biconical envelope surface.
  • the angle defined by the slopes of the envelope surface on either side of the apex edge is relatively acute, being less than 120 °.
  • the outer diameter of the rod is for example between 2.5 and 3 mm when the core is molded and in the case of a twisted core brush, the rod diameter is for example between 2 and 4.5 mm.
  • the makeup of the eyelashes can be performed for example at least with the application elements of the applicator located axially on the web between the top and the distal end of the applicator.
  • the rod 4 is rectilinear and of circular cross section, but in non-illustrated variants, the rod may be non-rectilinear and / or of non-circular section.
  • the radius r increases, reaches the maximum r max , then decreases. It is the same in the longitudinal section plane containing the axis X2.
  • the longitudinal sectional planes containing the axes X1 and X2 respectively may be planes of symmetry for the envelope surface.
  • the two facets 110 and 111 may be symmetrical to each other or not, and planar or not.
  • the shape of the envelope surface E, in the invention, makes it possible to use the applicator for the makeup of the eyelashes, in multiple orientations, as illustrated in FIGS. Figures 6A and 6B .
  • bristles located on the core between the transverse plane where the cross section is the largest and the free end of the applicator for example by orienting the latter with the distal end of the applicator. the rod 4 which is directed towards the eyelash fringe.
  • bristles of the brush which are located further in recess, the longitudinal axis of the rod being in this case for example oriented substantially parallel to the eyelash fringe, as illustrated in FIG. Figure 6A .
  • the diameter of the envelope surface E, in this example or in other examples, at the distal end is, for example, greater than or equal to 4 mm.
  • the envelope surface E especially in the plane where the cross section is maximum, may have a shape that is not revolution.
  • the rod 4 may comprise, as illustrated in FIG. figure 13 , a portion 70 of increased flexibility, which can bend when the applicator is brought into contact with the eyelashes and / or when the applicator passes through the wiper member 8 while being withdrawn from the receptacle 2.
  • the figure 16 thus represents an alternative embodiment of the packaging and application device, in which the applicator comprises an injected brush 5 at the end of the rod 4.
  • the application elements can be relatively thin and behave similarly to the bristles reported on a twisted core.
  • the application members may be relatively rigid and form teeth.
  • the applicator elements each extend rectilinearly, some of which are directed towards the distal end of the applicator, the applicator thus having applicator elements connecting to the core in a direction not perpendicular to the applicator.
  • longitudinal axis Y of the soul
  • the envelope surface may, as illustrated, be spherical to within 20%, at least on its portion extending from a plane where the transverse dimension delimited by the envelope surface E is maximum, to the distal end 21.
  • the applicator may comprise, as illustrated, application elements oriented towards the proximal end of the applicator.
  • These application elements 12 may be arranged in rows extending along the core and angularly equidistributed around the axis of the core.
  • the core 10 is full in the illustrated example but could, in a variant not shown, be hollow.
  • the application elements have a variable height so that their free ends define the desired profile for the envelope surface E.
  • the core 10 is for example of elongate shape, for example cylindrical, as illustrated.
  • the core 10 may be attached to the rod 4 or, in a variant not shown, be molded with the rod.
  • the hairs can be of any kind and present any section.
  • the bristles may be natural or synthetic and for example be made of a material selected from: PE, PA, in particular PA6, PA6 / 6, PA 6/10 or PA-6/12, HYTREL ®, PEBAX ®, silicone, PU, this list n not being limiting.
  • the applicator may comprise a mixture of bristles, the applicator elements whether they are formed of bristles or teeth, may cross when the applicator is observed perpendicularly to the Y axis, as illustrated in FIG. figure 24 .
  • flocked application elements or application elements made by extrusion or injection of a plastic material comprising a charge of particles, for example particles of a moisture-absorbing material, in order to impart a microrelief. on the surface of the application elements or give them magnetic or other properties.
  • the soul can still be a double soul, formed by two elementary souls twisted together.
  • Each elementary soul may comprise two strands twisted together and enclosing hairs.
  • the two elementary cores can each be constituted by a branch of a single twisted core folded U-shaped, the two branches being twisted together.
  • the application elements can be treated by contact with a hot surface and / or by stamping, so as to break the coil effect or orient them in a circumferential direction around the core.
  • the application elements can be aligned or arranged in staggered rows, as shown in FIG. figure 26 .
