  • the invention proposes an applicator unit for a cosmetic product comprising a receptacle for said product and an applicator device comprising a stem surmounted by an one piece applicator body, said body comprising a proximal part associated with the stem and a distal part opposite from said proximal part in a longitudinal direction, said distal and proximal parts being linked by a bridge formed in recess in the applicator body, wherein the distal part comprises a rounded geometry having an outer diameter, the proximal part comprising at least a protruding zone having an outer dimension which is bigger than the outer diameter of the distal part, wherein the applicator device is removably mounted onto the receptacle to put the applicator body in contact with the product into said receptacle, the applicator unit further comprising a wiper to wipe off excess product when removing the applicator device from the receptacle, said wiper having a soft wiping
  • Figure 1 represents an applicator unit 1 for a lip product 2 comprising a receptacle 3 for said product, notably for a cosmetic for the lips such as a more or less viscous lip colored pasty product.
  • the receptacle 3 comprises a neck 4 on which an applicator device 5 is removably mounted.
  • the applicator device 5 comprises a stem 6 carrying on both sides an applicator body 7 and a cap 8 for the receptacle 3 which is disposed opposite to said applicator body. Both the cap 8 and the neck 4 are threaded in order to permit the mounting of the applicator device 5 onto the receptacle 3 to put the applicator body 7 in contact with the product 2 into said receptacle.
  • the applicator unit 1 further comprises a wiper 9 which is mounted in the neck 4, said wiper being able to wipe off excess product when removing the applicator device 5 from the receptacle 3.
  • the wiper 9 has a body 10 presenting a outer surface fitted in the neck 4, said body being surmounted by a annular exterior edge 11 adjacent to a sealing ring 12 which cooperates within the neck 4 for the mounting of said wiper onto the recipient 3.
  • the wiper 9 has a soft wiping rim 13 extending inwardly, said rim defining therein a central opening 14 in which the applicator device 5 is able to slide upon removing.
  • the wiper 9 is manufactured by molding of a soft plastic material such silicon, butyl or nitrile rubber material.
  • the applicator body 7 can be manufactured by molding of a soft plastic material. According to embodiments, at least a portion of the outer surface of the applicator body 7 can be coated with fibers and/or longitudinal ribs can be formed on at least a portion of said outer surface.
  • the stem 6 is surmounted by a one piece applicator body 7 comprising a proximal part associated with the stem 6 and a distal part 15 opposite from said proximal part in a longitudinal direction.
  • Each one of the distal 15 and proximal part presents an outer surface to brush on the lips in order to apply the sample.
  • the proximal part presents a base 16 which is inserted in the stem 6 to associate the applicator body 7 to said stem.
  • the distal 15 and proximal parts are linked by a bridge 17 formed in recess in said applicator body, the outer dimension of said bridge being then smaller than both the outer dimensions of the distal 15 and proximal parts.
  • the bridge 17 forms a groove around it, said groove being disposed between the distal 15 and the proximal part.
  • the distal part 15 comprises a rounded geometry having an outer diameter, notably the geometry of said distal part can be spherical, eventually slightly deformed.
  • the proximal part comprises at least a protruding zone having an outer diameter which is bigger than the outer diameter of the distal part 15.
  • the dimension of the central opening 14 of the wiper 9 is comprised between the outer diameter of the distal part 15 and the outer dimension of the protruding zone in order to wipe off said protruding zone but not said distal part.
  • the rounded distal part 15 permits to provide a great precision for the application of the sample disposed on it and the difference between the outer dimensions of the distal 15 and proximal parts permits to improve the volume of the sample. It is then possible to combine the disposition of a great quantity of product on the lips with the finesse of the outlines of the application of said product onto the lips.
  • the bridge 17 permits elastic displacements of the distal part 15 as regards the proximal part to improve the comfort and provide a very satisfactory massage effect of the lips.
  • the elastic displacements provide a bending of the distal part 15 upon leaning it on the lips.
  • a bridge 17 presenting a longitudinal dimension which is bigger than 10% of the outer diameter of the distal part 15 and/or an outer dimension which is smaller than 60% of said outer diameter.
  • the bridge 17 can presents an elliptical transversal section to provide a differential effort to bend the distal part 15 in function of the position of the support of said distal part on the lips.
  • the user can rotate the applicator device, by means of the cap 8, to obtain the desired bending effect, without changing the application surface since the distal part 15 is rounded.
  • the softness of the material of the applicator body 7 can be chosen according to the bending effect desired, as well as to conserve a sufficient longitudinal rigidity of said applicator body in order to keep the precision of the application, notably of the outlines by means of the distal part 15.
  • thermoplastic polyester-polyurethane or thermoplastic ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer are suitable to manufacture the applicator body 7.
  • the proximal part can comprise geometries, notably rounded geometries, linked by bridges formed in recess in the applicator body 7, the outer dimension of said geometries decreasing from the stem to the distal part.
  • each bridge forms a reservoir for the sample and a flexibility area between the geometries.
  • the application of the sample can then be done by either one of said geometries according to the wishes of the user.
  • the proximal part comprises two ovoid shaped geometries 18a, 18b linked by a bridge 19 formed in recess in the applicator body 7.
  • each bridge 17, 22 presents an elliptical transversal section, the dimension of the proximal bridge 22 being bigger than the dimension of the distal bridge 17.
  • the main dimensions of the represented application body can be:
  • This applicator body 7 can be used in combination with a wiper 9 as represented on figures 3 , wherein the wiping rim 13 has a serrated geometry comprising teeth 23 spaced by holes 24.
  • the central opening 14 comprises two dimensions for the wiping: the outer dimension D of the teeth 23 and the inner dimension d of said teeth, said outer dimension being comprised between the outer diameter of the distal part 15 and the outer diameter of the proximal geometry 21 in order to wipe off said proximal geometry.
  • the outer diameter D can be 4.4 mm and the inner diameter d 3.7 mm.
  • the applicator body 7 first gets out the product 2 with a quantity of product around it ( figure 4a ).
  • the dimension of the central opening 14 is smaller than the outer dimension of the stem 6 in order to completely wipe off the product 2 from said stem ( figure 5g ).
  • the outer dimension of the stem 6 is bigger than the outer diameter of the distal part 15 and similar to the outer dimension of the proximal geometry 21.
  • the proximal geometry 21 has been completely wiped off ( figure 5f ) since its outer diameter is greater than the outer dimension D of the teeth 23, notably said outer dimension and said outer diameter can be similar, that is to say different for less than 10%.
  • a sample of product is not wiped off around the proximal bridge 22 ( figure 5e ) in order to provide a serrated layer 25 of product to apply on the lips.
  • the inner dimension d of the teeth 23 is similar to the outer diameter of the central geometry 20 in order to wipe off partially said central geometry ( figure 5d ).
  • ribs 26 of product are disposed around the central geometry 20 through the spaces 24 formed between the teeth 23.
  • a serrated layer 27 of product is disposed around the distal bridge 17 ( figure 5c ) and around the distal geometry 15 which is not wiped since its diameter is smaller than the inner diameter d of the teeth 23 ( figure 5b ).
  • a sample of product is disposed around the applicator body 7 in order to be applied onto the lips.
  • the application body 7 can have a proximal part comprising, from the stem 6 to the bridge 17, a diverging zone, a central zone and a converging zone, the protruding zone being formed on the central zone.
  • a proximal part comprising, from the stem 6 to the bridge 17, a diverging zone, a central zone and a converging zone, the protruding zone being formed on the central zone.
  • the proximal part presents an ovoid shaped geometry 28.
  • the outer surface of this geometry can present edges as shown on figure 6b , can be slick as shown on figure 6e or can present longitudinal ribs as shown on figure 6c .
