Definitions

  • This invention relates to a cosmetic product applicator, and in particular to a mascara applicator that can grab, pull and release a user's lashes.
  • an electrically driven applicator to move the applicator vibrationally, translationally or rotationally is supposed to help in this respect in that the movement ought to help the lashes penetrate the applicator brush, so as to locate between the fibres or the bristles of the applicator brush, in order to facilitate the pulling of the lashes by the user.
  • the desired effect relies on the fact that if the lashes penetrate the brush more, then when the brush is pulled there is a greater amount of friction between the lashes and the fibres/bristles. In reality, however, this form of electrically assisted applicator does not provide the desired result.
  • a number of alternate ways of achieving a lash pulling effect have been proposed in which the inventors have attempted to create features that will increase the pull by physically trapping the lashes.
  • One such solution includes providing mascara applicators, typically fibre wire wound brushes, with a distorted or modified fibre geometry, in order to create a series of hooks to provide the desired pulling effect.
  • WO2006/130642 discloses a number of ways in which fiber distribution in mascara applicators may be modified.
  • a cosmetic product applicator head with both flexible protrusions and a combination of flexible and stiff protrusions are provided on an axially moving applicator head. Axial movement of the applicator head is performed at frequencies which aim to enhance distribution of cosmetic material to the ends of the protrusions.
  • the protrusions flex in response to axially downward and upward movement, the axial movement being tuned to produce a harmonic motion of the protrusions, thereby advancing cosmetic material from the base to the tip of each protrusion.
  • all bristles essentially move in the same direction, at the same time, and thus there is no grabbing of the lashes to enable the lashes to be pulled, as described above.
  • the axially moving applicator head will result in movement of some of the protrusions, while others will stay in place, thereby reducing the space between individual protrusions.
  • a first set of protrusions includes more mass at their tips to promote flexibility, while a second set of protrusions are tapered to promote stiffness.
  • the protrusions may be formed of different materials to create the relative differences in stiffness and flexibility.
  • the primary purpose of this prior art arrangement is to enhance distribution of cosmetic material to the ends of the protrusions, and thus does not provide the desired grabbing and pulling of the lashes.
  • a cosmetic product applicator comprising:
  • the peripheral wall of the hollow sleeve is flexible, with the bristles accordingly being fitted to the entire peripheral wall of the hollow sleeve and extending along the length of the hollow sleeve.
  • the peripheral wall of the hollow sleeve comprises a flexible portion to which the bristles are fitted and a rigid, reinforcing portion to which no bristles are fitted, or which contains non-moving bristles, with this combination of flexible and rigid wall portions extending along the length of the hollow sleeve.
  • the rod is continuously moved with respect to the hollow sleeve, with the bristles on the flexible portion of the sleeve accordingly alternating between the lash grab configuration, in which a user's lashes are grabbed to allow them to be pulled, and the lash release configuration, in which the user's lashes are either released from or allowed to penetrate the bristles.
  • the cosmetic product applicator comprises a handle to accommodate driving means to move the rod with respect to the hollow sleeve, the driving means being arranged to move the rod rotationally and/or translationally with respect to the hollow sleeve.
  • a hollow stem extends between the handle and the hollow sleeve of the applicator head, the hollow stem movably accommodating part of the rod, with the handle, stem and sleeve being fixed relative to one another.
  • the cosmetic product applicator comprises a securing pin to keep at least the handle and hollow sleeve fixed relative to each other.
  • the rod is a hollow rod, with the securing pin extending through the hollow rod, the securing pin defining a proximal end that can be secured to the handle and a distal end that can be secured to a distal end tip of the hollow sleeve.
  • the deforming arrangement comprises at least one disc fitted to the distal end of the rod.
  • the deforming arrangement comprises a plurality of discs arranged longitudinally along the length of the rod.
  • the deforming arrangement comprises at least one cam fitted to the distal end of the rod.
  • the deforming arrangement comprises a plurality of cams arranged radially around and/or longitudinally along the length of the distal end of the rod.
  • the deforming arrangement comprises a thread arranged longitudinally along the length of the rod.
  • the driving means comprises a motor.
  • the hollow flexible sleeve is made of a suitable soft plastic material such as, for example, a "Hytrel” thermoplastic polyester elastomer commercially available from DuPont, a “Pellethane” Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer commercially available from Dow, of "T-BLENDTM” compounded thermoplastic material composed primarily of SBS or SEBS, Polyurethane, polyethylene, TPE.
  • the rod may be made of metal, POM, nylon, polypropylene, polyethylene or some alternative rigid material.
  • the fact that the rod is not in direct contact with the mascara formulation means that the choice of material is not limited to materials compatible with the contents of the mascara formula and can be selected from any common material based on price, mechanical performance and ease of manufacturing.
  • an applicator head for a cosmetic product applicator comprising:
  • the bristles on the deformed portion of the hollow sleeve flare open to define a lash release configuration, and simultaneously the bristles on the hollow sleeve adjacent the deformed portion of the hollow sleeve are forced closer together to define a lash grab configuration.
  • the peripheral wall of the hollow sleeve is flexible, with the bristles accordingly being fitted to the entire peripheral wall of the hollow sleeve and extending along the length of the hollow sleeve.
  • the peripheral wall of the hollow sleeve comprises a flexible portion to which the bristles are fitted and a rigid, reinforcing portion to which no bristles are fitted, or which contains non-moving bristles, with this combination of flexible and rigid wall portions extending along the length of the hollow sleeve.
  • the rod can be fitted to driving means of the cosmetic product applicator, the rod being movable rotationally and/or translationally with respect to the hollow sleeve.
  • the applicator head comprises a hollow stem that accommodates part of the rod, the stem and hollow sleeve being fixed relative to each other thereby facilitating movement of the rod relative to the sleeve.
  • the applicator head comprises a securing pin to keep the stem and hollow sleeve fixed relative to each other.
  • the rod is a hollow rod, with the securing pin extending through the hollow rod, the securing pin defining a proximal end that can be secured to a handle of the cosmetic product applicator and a distal end that can be secured to a distal end tip of the hollow sleeve.
  • the deforming arrangement comprises at least one disc fitted to the distal end of the rod.
  • the deforming arrangement comprises a plurality of discs arranged longitudinally along the length of the rod.
  • the deforming arrangement comprises at least one cam fitted to the distal end of the rod.
  • the deforming arrangement comprises a plurality of cams arranged radially around and/or longitudinally along the length of the distal end of the rod.

  • the entire peripheral wall of the hollow sleeve 108, 208, 308 is flexible, with the bristles 104, 204, 304 accordingly being fitted to the entire peripheral wall of the hollow sleeve108, 208, 308, as best shown in Figure 3 , and then extending along the length of the hollow sleeve 108, 208, 308.
  • the peripheral wall of the hollow sleeve 408 is flexible, as indicated by numeral 409.1, to which the bristles 404 are fitted.
  • the remaining portion of the peripheral wall, as indicated by numeral 409.2 is rigid so as to reinforce the hollow sleeve 408.
  • This combination of flexible and rigid wall portions 409.1, 409.2 extends along the length of the hollow sleeve 408.
  • the rigid, reinforcing portion 409.2 is typically plastic injected from a relatively rigid material.
