Definitions

  • the invention relates to applicators intended for applying a product, such as mascara, to the eyelashes and/or the eyebrows.
  • Such applicators have been known for many years. Applicators of various shapes and configurations have been proposed without, however, always giving full satisfaction to users. In fact, it is usually expected that the applicator fulfills several functions as well as possible.
  • the first is an elongation function. In other words, the eyelashes once made up must give the impression of being relatively long.
  • the second function aims to give volume: The application of the product makes it possible to give the eyelashes an apparent volume greater than their volume in the bare state.
  • the third function is a curling function which aims to curl the eyelashes as much as possible.
  • a fourth function is the separation function: the eyelashes must be made up by being suitably separated from each other, without forming a bundle.
  • Applicators have been proposed which include a bottle brush.
  • the advantage of the brush is that it can easily be loaded with a large quantity of product, which avoids the user having to replace the applicator frequently in the reservoir of product during the make-up operation to reload it .
  • Applicators comprising a comb have also been proposed. These make it possible to separate the eyelashes from each other.
  • An object of the invention is to provide an even more efficient applicator, in particular an applicator making it possible to obtain a good result in terms of lengthening, curling and volume by means of a make-up gesture which is particularly simple and easy. to implement.
  • an applicator according to claim 1 is provided.
  • the helical configuration of such a brush makes it possible to obtain a very satisfactory makeup result by means of a particularly simple gesture that is easy for the user to perform.
  • This gesture allows to apply a substantial amount of product to the eyelashes.
  • the applicator catches all the eyelashes coming in contact with it.
  • the eyelashes are caught in particular in the teeth of the comb and undergo a homogeneous treatment.
  • this applicator implements the four eyelash treatment functions (volume, separation, lengthening and curling) simultaneously on each eyelash, and this over the entire length of the eyelash from its base to its free end.
  • Each brush sector of the applicator according to the invention makes it possible to attach the eyelashes and to apply the product gently to each of them. It distributes the product well on the eyelashes and quickly gives each eyelash a certain volume, as well as shine, while giving it a curvature.
  • the or each comb makes it possible to treat the eyelashes individually by separating them from each other and by producing a lengthening effect.
  • the comb draws the product along each lash and also promotes good distribution.
  • the eyelash is made up from the root to the tip and suitably curved.
  • the invention more generally makes it possible to obtain a better result in terms of make-up than in the case of an applicator of the bottle brush type. Indeed, it gives volume to the eyelashes without forming clumps on them. And the eyelashes are not glued together. Compared with an applicator consisting only of a comb, the invention here again makes it possible to avoid the formation of clumps.
  • the applicator according to the invention also makes it possible to increase the reproducibility of the result formed by the makeup. Indeed, the application taking place by means of a simple and rapid gesture, the result is obtained immediately. The user therefore refills the applicator less often than with a conventional applicator. Air movement in the product tank is reduced. The properties, in particular rheological properties, of the product contained in the reservoir are therefore preserved longer. The make-up result to which they lead is therefore also reproducible for longer.
  • the eyelashes can in particular be given the classic fan configuration.
  • This applicator thus has the particular advantage of making it possible to obtain two makeup results of different configurations depending on the type of gesture performed, and this in both cases in a very simple manner for the user.
  • the eyelashes are in simultaneous contact with at least one brush sector and at least a comb, thus providing a particularly clean result in terms of volume and separation of the eyelashes.
  • the fibers of each brush sector may be bristles or filaments.
  • the row of fibers may be a row of individual fibers or a row of fiber tufts.
  • At least one of the brush sectors may comprise at least two rows of fibers.
  • the teeth of the or of each comb are locally arranged one after the other in a zigzag or following an undulation.
  • the comb or at least one of the combs comprises at least two rows of teeth, the teeth of each row being locally aligned with each other and being offset or inclined with respect to the teeth of the other row or of one of the others rows.
  • the teeth of one of the rows diverge from their bases with respect to the teeth of the other row or of one of the other rows.
  • the or one of the combs extends radially with reference to an axis of the applicator beyond an envelope surface defined by the brush sectors.
  • At least one of the brush sectors has a color different from the color of the comb or of at least one of the combs.
  • This color difference makes it possible to better control the state of the product charge of the applicator during use.
  • the applicator leaves the reservoir, it is loaded with product and fully presents the color of the latter, most often black for mascara.
  • the product gradually disappears and the color difference between brush sector(s) and comb(s) gradually appears.
  • the user can thus decide to recharge the applicator by replacing it in the reservoir.
  • the applicator comprises at least one separator extending in a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the applicator while being contiguous to one of the rows.
  • each brush sector is in one piece.
  • the brush sectors may form a single piece.
  • an assembly for applying a product to the eyelashes and/or the eyebrows comprising a reservoir of product and an applicator according to the invention, the assembly preferably further comprising a wiper.
  • the invention also relates to a method for making up the eyelashes and/or the eyebrows in which a product is applied to the eyelashes and/or the eyebrows by means of an applicator according to the invention.
  • the applicator is moved in translation along the eyelashes or eyebrows in a direction parallel thereto.
  • the applicator is moved along the eyelashes or the eyebrows following a movement comprising a rotation, the movement possibly also comprising a translation.
  • the applicator is moved along the eyelashes or eyebrows in a direction opposite to the nose of the person whose eyelashes or eyebrows are being made up.
  • FIG. 1 a set 2 for making up the eyelashes according to the invention.
  • This assembly comprises a reservoir 4 comprising the product 6 (here a mascara) intended to be applied to the eyelashes.
  • the reservoir 4 is extended in the upper part by a neck 8.
  • the assembly comprises an applicator 160 comprising a gripping part 12 comprising a skirt 10.
  • the neck 8 has on its external face a thread (not shown) cooperating with an internal thread of the skirt 10.
  • the applicator 160 comprises a rod 14 connected by its proximal end to the gripping part 12 and by its distal end to a tip 161 intended to sometimes come into contact with the mascara located in the reservoir as illustrated on the figure 1 and sometimes with the eyelashes.
  • the rod here is straight elongated with a circular section.
  • the assembly comprises a wiper 18 whose upper edge is fixed to the neck 8 and the lower edge is in contact with the rod 14 when it is received in the reservoir in order to wring the latter as well as the tip 161 to eliminate these the excess product when the applicator 160 leaves the tank 4.
  • the endpiece of the first embodiment comprises three brush sectors 162a, 162b and 162c each extending from one longitudinal end to the other of the endpiece.
  • the three sectors are evenly distributed around the longitudinal axis 164 of the endpiece which is the longitudinal axis of the rod 14.
  • the tip also includes three combs 166a, 166b and 166c also regularly distributed around the axis 164 and each extending from one end of the tip to the other.
  • the combs are arranged in spatial alternation with the brush sectors around the axis 164.
  • Each brush sector is equidistant from the two adjacent combs and vice versa.
  • the brush sectors 162a, 162b and 162c are separated from each other by a third of a turn around the axis 164, that is to say by 120°.
  • each brush sector has with each adjacent comb an angular spacing of 60°.
  • the brush sectors are fixedly positioned relative to the combs.
  • the brush sectors and the combs are arranged so that they are able to extend on the same side of the eyelashes to come into contact with them, as illustrated for example in figures 24 and 25 .
  • Each brush sector 162a, 162b, 162c is formed by a row of tufts 167 of fibers or bristles while each comb 166a, 166b, 166c is formed by a row of teeth 169.
  • the fibers of each sector of brush have a radial orientation with reference to the axis 164. It is the same for the teeth of each comb.
  • the brush sectors and the combs in this case each have a helical shape having the axis of the helix as the axis 164.
  • the inclination of the helix is here constant from one longitudinal end to the other of the end piece. (It is therefore the same for its pitch.)
  • the length of the tip here is approximately 25 millimeters.
  • the inclination of each helix can be measured here by the angular spacing around the axis 164 between the first and the last element of each comb or of each brush sector.
  • each comb thus stretches over approximately 76° around the axis 164 in the present example.
  • the pitch of each propeller is therefore here 118 mm.
  • any one of the following angular spacing values may be provided for example in the present embodiment and the following ones, with the corresponding pitch values: Angular sector in degrees 26.5 30 52.8 54 55 60 76 80 90 105.8 120 Pitch in mm 340 300 170 167 164 150 118 113 100 85 75
  • the helices of the six rows respectively forming the combs and the brush sectors are here all oriented in the same direction, giving a general impression of torsion to the tip.
  • the direction of the helices is such that the brush sectors and the combs located on the side of the observer rise along the axis from the left bottom right top.
  • the fibers all have the same length over the greater part of the tip, except in the distal portion 165 farthest from the gripping part 12 which corresponds to approximately 20% of the length of the sector. On this portion, the length of the fibers is gradually reduced. The same goes for the distribution of the length of the teeth of each comb, so that the length of the teeth is also reduced at the level of the distal portion 165 of the tip. These reduced lengths near the free end of the applicator make it possible to better treat the small eyelashes located at the two corners of each eye.
  • the length of the teeth 169 is greater than the length of the fibers 167 forming the brush sectors.
  • the teeth are approximately 5 millimeters long over the greater part of the tip, while over the same part the fibers of the brush sectors have a length of 4 millimeters.
  • the combs extend radially beyond the envelope surface of the brush sectors, this surface being cylindrical over the greatest length of the tip and conical on the portion 165. This protrusion of the combs makes it possible to increase the separation effect and of elongation provided by the combs as well as the regularity of the application of the product on the eyelashes.
  • a bottle brush may be provided comprising a rod formed by two twisted metal wires 171 trapping between them fibers or bundles of fibers, as is known per se.
  • the delimitation of three sectors on the brush can be obtained either by cutting sections of brush leaving free spaces between them, or by locally crushing the brush.
  • the metal rod of the brush is fixed to the end of the rod 14, for example by being force-fitted into the latter.
  • Each comb comprises a base 168 or bar, with a cross section for example of rectangular or even square shape.
  • the teeth extend projecting from the same side of this base opposite the side facing the twisted rod of the brush.
  • the combs are for example formed by being connected to each other at their distal longitudinal ends by a connection 170 common to the three combs, their proximal longitudinal ends 172 being free from each other at the origin.
  • the three combs thus form the three parts of a cage.
  • the combs can be installed on the brush by bringing the link 170 to the distal end of the brush and folding the three combs around the brush sectors, between them, to bring their ends 172 into contact.
  • the fibers of the brush sectors are made in this case of plastic material, for example of polyamide such as that marketed under the trademark Nylon.
  • the combs can also be made of plastic.
  • it is an elastomeric PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) marketed by the company Dupont de Nemours under the Hytrel brand.
  • the fibers may be given a diameter of 3 to 4 mils, or even 5 mils for example.
  • the fibers may be solid or hollow fibers, or even form a mixture of solid and hollow fibers.
  • the teeth of the combs may have, for some of them, a polished surface condition and, for others, a frosted condition to better grip the eyelashes.
  • This endpiece with three brush sectors and three combs equidistant from each other around the axis 164 and each having a helix shape gives a particularly good result in terms of makeup.
  • the tip makes it possible to deposit enough product on each eyelash without overloading and without this product being removed by the combs.
  • the combs here originally have a color, for example white, different from that of the brush sectors, here black.
  • This color difference allows the user to better control the product load of the applicator.
  • the tip comes out of the wiper and of the collar, it is loaded with product and fully presents the color of the latter, most often black for mascara.
  • the product gradually disappears from the tip and the combs thus gradually regain their white color.
  • the user can thus detect that the load of the tip with product is reduced too much and decide to refill the tip by replacing it in the reservoir.
  • black combs and white brush sectors it is possible to provide black combs and white brush sectors.
  • colors other than black and white can be used for the different parts of the tip.
  • FIG. 4 A variant of this first embodiment is illustrated in figures 4 and 5 .
  • the characteristics of the applicator 160' are the same as those of the applicator 160 except that the inclination of each helix is more pronounced (relative to a plane perpendicular to the axis) so that the angular offset between the first and last tooth of each reed 166a, 166b, 166c is reduced to 26.5°.
  • a second embodiment of the tip of the applicator according to the invention has been illustrated in figures 10 and 11 .
  • the tip of this 260 applicator has a general configuration very close to that of figures 2 and 3 .
  • the number of brush sectors 262a, 262b, 262c, 262d is this time increased to four, as is the number of combs 266a, 266b, 266c, 266d.
  • the brushes are arranged in spatial alternation with the combs around the axis 264.
  • the pitch of the helix retained here is such that the angular offset between the first and the last tooth of each comb is 90°. Naturally, this angular offset could be modified while keeping the number of brush sectors equal to four, as well as the number of combs equal to four.
  • a third embodiment of the applicator 360 according to the invention is illustrated in figures 16 and 17 .
  • the tip of this applicator differs from that of figures 2 and 3 only by the fact that each of the three combs 366a, 366b, 366c no longer consists of a single row but of two rows 366a1, 366a2, 366b1, 366b2, 366c1, 366c2 of teeth.
  • the teeth are arranged precisely one after the other to form a helix. The distance between the two rows is constant along the comb.
  • the teeth have a radial orientation with reference to the axis 374 of the rod, so that the teeth of one of the rows are closer to those of the other row at their bases than at their peaks.
  • each angular distance between the two rows of each comb is much less than the angular distance separating each comb from the other comb. These distances are for example respectively 20° and about 100°.
  • the presence of two rows of teeth in each comb makes it possible to form reservoirs of product between the two rows in order to increase the load of product carried by the end piece when it is extracted from the reservoir.
  • Each helix here extends over a sector of 60°.
  • a fourth embodiment is illustrated in figures 18 and 19 .
  • each of the three combs 466a, 466b, 466c of the applicator 460 has two rows of teeth 466a1 and 466a2, 466b1 and 466b2, 466c1 and 466c2.
  • the teeth of the two rows are such that their bases are aligned to form a single row.
  • the teeth of one row diverge from those of the other row from this base.
  • the teeth of each row are therefore each inclined, with respect to the direction radial to the axis 474, in the direction opposite to the other row.
  • Each tooth has, in the present example, a triangular shape in end view of the tip as illustrated in the figure 19 .
  • the base of the tooth is the shortest side of the triangle.
  • the production of each comb by means of a double row of teeth makes it possible to constitute a reservoir of product between the two rows of each comb. Knowing that relatively little space is left free for the product in the vicinity of the base of the teeth, the greater part of the reservoir is this time provided at a distance from this base, in the vicinity of the free end of each tooth.
  • Each helix here extends over a sector of 80°.
  • a fifth embodiment of the applicator 560 has been illustrated in figures 20 and 21 .
  • This embodiment differs from that of figures 2 and 3 in that the row of teeth 569 forming each of the three combs 566a, 566b, 566c, although it retains a general helical shape, does not have a helical shape locally. It can in fact be observed that the teeth 569 are arranged locally one after the other to form a zigzag or even an undulation.
  • This arrangement is such that one can also distinguish in fact in the comb three rows of teeth constituted respectively by the teeth forming a first series of ridges located on one side of the undulation, the teeth forming a second series of ridges located on the opposite side of the corrugation and the teeth located halfway between the two crests.
  • This embodiment accentuates the effect of combing the eyelashes provided by the applicator. This effect is particularly pronounced if the number of teeth and/or their dimensions in each comb are so large that this number or these dimensions could not be reproduced in the embodiment of the figures 2 and 3 locally giving the teeth a helical configuration.
  • the teeth can be numerous in each row and/or have large dimensions thanks to the fact that the zigzag or undulating arrangement makes it possible to tighten them.
  • This embodiment of figures 20 and 21 also provides a product reservoir effect at the level of the teeth of each comb.
  • Each helix here extends over a sector of 90°.
  • FIG. 22 and 23 A sixth embodiment of the applicator 660 of the invention is illustrated in figures 22 and 23 .
  • the brush sectors as well as the teeth of the combs have been omitted for the clarity of the representation. Only the bases 668 of the combs have been preserved.
  • separators 680 which are unique to this embodiment. These separators are here seven in number, but any number of separators could be provided, or even a single separator.
  • Each separator has a flat shape. It is arranged perpendicular to the axis 674 of the rod so as to extend over a limited angular sector around this rod, for example 120°, as illustrated in the figure 23 .
  • the separators 680 in this case all have the same shape, namely a disk sector shape. They are each fixed to two bases 668 of the combs by forming a bridge thrown from one to the other of these bases.
  • Separators 680 are arranged as follows. Three of the separators 680 are arranged in coincidence in end view of the nozzle. The distance along the axis 674 separating two consecutive separators among these three separators is the same as that separating each end of the tip of the nearest separator. These three separators are located on the right on the figure 22 . Two more dividers are provided in coincidence with each other while being however angularly offset by 120° with respect to the first three and have a longitudinal offset with respect to the latter. Finally, the last two separators located to the right and behind on the figure 22 are in coincidence with each other but angularly offset by 120° with respect to the two preceding groups. They also have a longitudinal shift relative to them. The seven separators follow one another so that one alternately encounters a separator from each of the three groups along the axis. The seven separators are evenly spaced along the length of the tip.
  • each separator has also been provided with a cavity 681 forming a reservoir of product.
  • the separators have here been described as having the same shape and the same dimensions, one could vary the shape and/or the dimensions of the separators between them.
  • the tip (for example the tip 161 of the picture 2 ) is oriented with its longitudinal axis 164 horizontal.
  • the user performs a forward translation gesture in a direction perpendicular to this axis.
  • This direction is located in the plane of each eyelash, which is the plane of the figures 24 and 25 for the eyelashes visible in these figures.
  • This direction is modulated according to whether the upper or lower eyelashes of the eye are made up, and this from above or from below as illustrated in figures 24 and 25 .
  • the translational movement is combined or composed of a rotational movement around the axis 164, in a direction which accentuates the friction between the applicator and the eyelashes.
  • the applicator is manipulated with the same movements except that the axis 164 is inclined and the direction 190 is directed outwards and upwards, in the direction opposite to the nose 192 of the person being made up.
  • the eyelashes are thus directed outwards with a trailing effect or doe's eye.
  • the number of combs on the applicator may be reduced to one or two or, on the contrary, be increased to four or more. The same is true for the number of brush sectors.
  • the brush sectors may have different dimensions or configurations. It is the same for the combs. In particular, the length of the fibers or of the teeth may vary from one brush sector to another or from one comb to another. The different combs may be made of different materials or have different colors from each other. The same is true for the brush sectors.
  • each comb may have at its ends portions in which the teeth are relatively short, while in the middle part the teeth are long and further apart than in the end portions.
  • the short teeth allow you to treat small eyelashes at the corners of the eye, while the long teeth allow you to treat long eyelashes to give them volume.
  • the helices of the different brush sectors could be oriented in different directions. It is the same for the propellers of the combs.
  • the helix of the brush sectors could turn in the opposite direction to the helix of the comb(s). It may be provided that the inclination of the propeller or of at least one of the propellers is not constant. One could thus imagine that this inclination (measured with respect to a plane perpendicular to the axis) increases as one approaches the free end of the tip opposite to the gripping part 12.
  • each brush sector may be made in one piece, for example by being produced by injection of a synthetic material. Similarly, they may form only one piece. We can then bring back the comb(s) on this part. Finally, the entire applicator (brush(es) and comb(s)) can be manufactured in a single injected part.
  • the fibers will be distinguished from the teeth by their arrangement, their shape and/or their dimensions. They can also be differentiated by the fact that the fibers are more flexible than the teeth, that is to say that the teeth are more rigid than the fibers.
