Description

DOMAINE TECHNIQUE DE L'INVENTIONTECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

L'invention se rapporte au domaine des applicateurs pour appliquer un produit fluide ou pâteux sur des fibres kératiniques telles que des cils ou des sourcils. De façon particulière les applicateurs visés par l'invention permettent d'appliquer un produit cosmétique, de maquillage ou de soin sur les poils, cils ou sourcils.The invention relates to the field of applicators for applying a fluid or pasty product to keratin fibers such as eyelashes or eyebrows. In particular, the applicators targeted by the invention make it possible to apply a cosmetic, make-up or care product to the hair, eyelashes or eyebrows.

Ces applicateurs comprennent essentiellement deux éléments : une âme de forme allongée sur laquelle est disposée au moins une rangée de dents ou picots.These applicators essentially comprise two elements: an elongated core on which is arranged at least one row of teeth or pins.

ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUE ANTERIEURESTATE OF THE PRIOR ART

On connaît de nombreux documents qui divulguent des produits de ce type qui visent avant tout à permettre de charger puis d'appliquer le produit idoine d'une manière aisée, simple et fiable, avec un résultat harmonieux. Dans le domaine considéré, on parle de fonction de charge, de fonction de séparation, de fonction de définition ou encore de fonction de recourbement qui doivent être réalisées par un tel applicateur.Numerous documents are known which disclose products of this type which aim above all to allow loading and then applying the suitable product in an easy, simple and reliable manner, with a harmonious result. In the field under consideration, we speak of a load function, a separation function, a definition function or even a bending function which must be performed by such an applicator.

Depuis un certain temps déjà on connait, par exemple par l'enseignement du document FR 2 505 633 , une brosse de maquillage présentant un support sur lequel sont individuellement et régulièrement implantés des poils. Selon une caractéristique de cette invention, le support et les poils viennent d'injection d'un matériau moulable.For some time now we have known, for example by teaching the document FR 2 505 633 , a makeup brush having a support on which hairs are individually and regularly implanted. According to a characteristic of this invention, the support and the bristles come from injection of a moldable material.

A titre illustratif, le document FR 2 850 549 divulgue une brosse applicatrice d'un produit sur des fibres kératiniques, comportant une âme supportant des poils dont une partie au moins s'étendent de manière incurvée.As an illustration, the document FR 2 850 549 discloses an applicator brush of a product on keratin fibers, comprising a core supporting bristles at least part of which extend in a curved manner.

On connaît encore par le document FR 2 902 984 un applicateur comportant une âme et au moins deux rangées de dents chacune orientées différemment vis-à-vis d'une face extérieure de l'âme. Ce type d'applicateur vise à améliorer l'application d'un produit notamment en termes de pénétration des dents entre les cils ou autres, de lissage du produit sur les cils et de séparation de ceux-ci.We still know by the document FR 2 902 984 an applicator comprising a core and at least two rows of teeth each oriented differently from an outer face of the core. This type of applicator aims to improve the application of a product in particular in terms of penetration of the teeth between the eyelashes or the like, of smoothing of the product on the eyelashes and of separation thereof.

On connaît encore le document EP1 593 320 qui décrit un applicateur de mascara constitué de plusieurs pièces mobiles les unes par rapport aux autres et notamment un élément de support dans lequel peut coulisser axialement un élément de réglage. Cette mobilité permet d'agir sur la distance entre les deux extrémités d'une portion déformable de l'élément support. C'est l'utilisateur lui-même qui modifie la distance entre les deux extrémités et donc le volume extérieur de l'applicateur qui comprend des parties radialement déformables sous l'action de l'élément de réglage.We still know the document EP1,593,320 which describes a mascara applicator made up of several moving parts with respect to each other and in particular a support element in which an adjustment element can slide axially. This mobility makes it possible to act on the distance between the two ends of a deformable portion of the support element. It is the user himself who modifies the distance between the two ends and therefore the external volume of the applicator which comprises radially deformable parts under the action of the adjusting element.

On considère que l'utilisateur peut ainsi agir sur la quantité de produit dont se charge l'applicateur. Cet applicateur est différent, complexe à réaliser puisque formé de plusieurs pièces. Il nécessite un réglage par l'utilisateur avant son emploi. De plus, la géométrie divulguée comprend une circonférence continue autour de l'axe longitudinal ce qui n'est nullement l'objet de la présente demande de brevet. Par ailleurs cet art antérieur ne révèle pas au moins une tige souple faisant bloc avec l'âme longitudinale et encastrée en au moins deux points sur cette âme longitudinale.It is considered that the user can thus act on the quantity of product which the applicator takes care of. This applicator is different, complex to produce since it consists of several parts. It requires adjustment by the user before use. In addition, the disclosed geometry includes a continuous circumference around the longitudinal axis which is not at all the subject of the present patent application. Furthermore, this prior art does not reveal at least one flexible rod forming a block with the longitudinal core and embedded at at least two points on this longitudinal core.

Par ailleurs, la demande de brevet FR 2 895 218 A1 divulgue un applicateur de conception proche de celle décrite dans le document EP1 593 320 ; en effet cet applicateur est complexe, constitué de plusieurs éléments distincts dont notamment une tige centrale d'actionnement et plusieurs éléments dits axiaux solidarisés à chacune de leurs extrémités par des bagues. L'utilisateur peut tendre plus ou moins les éléments axiaux, en agissant par exemple sur une molette qui coopère avec les bagues.Furthermore, the patent application FR 2 895 218 A1 discloses an applicator of design close to that described in the document EP1,593,320 ; in fact this applicator is complex, consisting of several distinct elements including in particular a central actuating rod and several so-called axial elements secured to each of their ends by rings. The user can more or less tension the axial elements, by acting for example on a wheel which cooperates with the rings.

Par ailleurs l'objectif de l'applicateur décrit dans ce document est de modifier l'espace intérieur de manière à agir sur la quantité de produit cosmétique retenue dans l'applicateur.Furthermore, the objective of the applicator described in this document is to modify the interior space so as to act on the quantity of cosmetic product retained in the applicator.

En outre la demande de brevet FR 2 506 581 A1 montre une brosse de maquillage du même type que celles divulguées ci-dessus, constituée de plusieurs parties mobiles les unes par rapport aux autres.Additionally the patent application FR 2 506 581 A1 shows a makeup brush of the same type as those disclosed above, consisting of several parts movable relative to each other.

On connait également par la demande de brevet française EN 1052316 un dispositif applicateur permettant de régler et/ou de contrôler la souplesse des dents qui le constituent ; ce dispositif est ainsi constitué d'une âme et de plusieurs rangées de picots ; une première série de picots s'étend depuis l'âme jusqu'à une tige longitudinale tandis qu'une deuxième série de picots présente une première extrémité liée à la tige et une deuxième extrémité libre. Ce type d'applicateur permet de régler et/ou de contrôler la souplesse des dents (ou picots). Cependant un tel applicateur manque de souplesse radiale ; il est très peu déformable radialement ce qui est un inconvénient lorsqu'il s'agit de le faire traverser un élément annulaire appelé essoreur placé en sortie du conteneur du produit à appliquer. En effet la « charge « c'est-à-dire la quantité de produit en prise sur le dispositif n'est pas optimale et peut être insuffisante pour une bonne application sur les cils, avec un tel dispositif connu.We also know by the French patent application EN 1052316 an applicator device for adjusting and / or controlling the flexibility of the teeth which constitute it; this device thus consists of a core and several rows of pins; a first series of pins extends from the core to a longitudinal rod while a second series of pins has a first end linked to the rod and a second free end. This type of applicator makes it possible to adjust and / or control the flexibility of the teeth (or pins). However, such an applicator lacks radial flexibility; it is very slightly radially deformable, which is a drawback when it comes to passing it through an annular element called a wiper placed at the outlet of the container of the product to be applied. In fact, the "charge", that is to say the amount of product taken up on the device is not optimal and may be insufficient for proper application to the eyelashes, with such a known device.

EXPOSE DE L'INVENTIONSTATEMENT OF THE INVENTION

L'invention vise à remédier aux inconvénients de l'état de la technique et notamment à proposer un dispositif applicateur de produits liquides ou pâteux dans le domaine de la cosmétique ou du soin capillaire, qui permet de conserver une charge optimale de produit après avoir traversé un essoreur de petit diamètre.The invention aims to remedy the drawbacks of the prior art and in particular to propose a device for applying liquid or pasty products in the field of cosmetics or hair care, which makes it possible to maintain an optimal charge of product after having crossed a wringer of small diameter.

Pour ce faire est proposé selon l'invention un dispositif applicateur d'un produit fluide ou pâteux sur des fibres kératiniques, selon la revendication 1.To do this, there is proposed according to the invention a device for applying a fluid or pasty product to keratin fibers, according to claim 1.

Par « axe longitudinal » on entend la ligne qui joint les barycentres des sections transversales de l'âme. L'axe longitudinal peut être un axe principal voire un axe de symétrie pour l'âme.By “longitudinal axis” is meant the line which joins the barycenters of the cross sections of the core. The longitudinal axis can be a main axis or even an axis of symmetry for the core.

« encastré « s'entend au sens d'un encastrement mécanique et peut comprendre une fixation, une fusion ou tout autre façon de lier ensemble les extrémités d'au moins une tige et l'âme du dispositif. Plus spécifiquement une liaison sur la paroi extérieure de l'âme est prévue."Recessed" has the meaning of a mechanical recess and may include a fixing, a fusion or any other way of joining together the ends of at least one rod and the core of the device. More specifically a connection on the outer wall of the core is provided.

Le fait que l'applicateur selon l'invention soit réalisé en une seule pièce, c'est-à-dire monolithique constitue une simplification de fabrication ; de plus la forme caractéristique du dispositif selon l'invention offre à l'utilisateur une qualité d'application tout à fait remarquable.The fact that the applicator according to the invention is produced in one piece, that is to say monolithic, constitutes a simplification of manufacture; moreover, the characteristic shape of the device according to the invention offers the user a quite remarkable quality of application.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, au moins une tige est encastrée à chacune de ses extrémités sensiblement confondues avec chaque extrémité de ladite âme allongée.According to a characteristic of the invention, at least one rod is embedded at each of its ends substantially coincident with each end of said elongated core.

Selon une particularité de l'invention, ladite au moins une tige présente une surface extérieure non lisse (avec des creux). Il est ici possible d'imaginer une surface extérieure bosselée, munie de trous et/ou de protubérances qui peuvent présenter diverses fonctionnalités en eux-mêmes.According to a feature of the invention, said at least one rod has a non-smooth outer surface (with hollows). It is here possible to imagine a bumpy outer surface, provided with holes and / or protrusions which can have various functions in themselves.

Additionellement le dispositif peut comprendre des picots qui peuvent être liés à l'une au moins desdites tiges, et/ou qui peuvent être liés à la paroi extérieure de l'âme.Additionally, the device may include pins which can be linked to at least one of said rods, and / or which can be linked to the external wall of the core.

De façon préférée lesdits picots sont orientés sensiblement radialement vis-à-vis de l'axe longitudinal XX.Preferably, said pins are oriented substantially radially with respect to the longitudinal axis XX.

En outre ladite au moins une tige présente une section transversale de valeur inférieure à la section transversale de l'âme. Ainsi la rigidité du dispositif est essentiellement assurée par l'âme tandis que la ou les tiges restent plus souples que l'âme, en supposant bien entendu que l'âme et la ou les tiges sont constituées d'un unique et même matériau ou tout au moins d'un matériau présentant des caractéristiques de rigidité proches.In addition, said at least one rod has a cross section of value less than the cross section of the core. Thus the rigidity of the device is essentially ensured by the core while the rod (s) remain more flexible than the soul, assuming of course that the soul and the rod (s) are made of a single and same material or any at least one material having similar stiffness characteristics.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le dispositif comprend au moins trois tiges longitudinales régulièrement angulairement réparties sur une section transversale de l'âme.According to one embodiment of the invention, the device comprises at least three longitudinal rods regularly angularly distributed over a cross section of the core.

Comme il sera décrit plus en détail ci-après divers mode de réalisation de l'invention peuvent être envisagés sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.As will be described in more detail below, various embodiments of the invention can be envisaged without departing from the scope of the invention.

Il s'agit de proposer un dispositif applicateur encore appelé »brosse « dans la suite de ce texte et de façon courante.It is a question of proposing an applicator device also called “brush” in the rest of this text and in a current manner.

Le dispositif selon l'invention comprend une âme 1 qui s'étend longitudinalement selon un axe XX. L'âme peut présenter une section transversale constante ou non selon sa longueur. Les réalisations les plus courantes montrent soit une section transversale constante, soit une section transversale qui diminue depuis son extrémité en prise avec un tube et/ou un manche de préhension jusque vers son extrémité libre, distale.The device according to the invention comprises a core 1 which extends longitudinally along an axis XX. The core may have a cross section which may or may not be constant depending on its length. The most common designs show either a constant cross-section or a cross-section transverse which decreases from its end in engagement with a tube and / or a grip handle until towards its free end, distal.

La section transversale de l'âme 1 peut présenter une forme circulaire, polygonale, ovale ou autre ; elle est axisymétrique. L'âme peut être pleine de matière, ou creuse. La figure 4A illustre une âme 1 cylindrique et creuse. L'homme de métier choisira en fonction de contraintes économiques et/ou techniques le type d'âme le plus approprié.The cross section of the core 1 can have a circular, polygonal, oval or other shape; it is axisymmetric. The soul can be full of matter, or hollow. The figure 4A illustrates a cylindrical and hollow core 1. The skilled person will choose according to economic and / or technical constraints the most appropriate type of soul.

Selon l'invention au moins une tige 2 est prévue et s'étend selon la longueur ou l'axe XX. La tige 2 est souple et flexible selon sa longueur ; elle présente avantageusement une élasticité autorisant une variation du diamètre extérieur du dispositif, comme explicité ci-après.According to the invention at least one rod 2 is provided and extends along the length or the axis XX. The rod 2 is flexible and flexible along its length; it advantageously has an elasticity allowing a variation in the outside diameter of the device, as explained below.

La tige 2 est avantageusement encastrée en au moins un premier et un deuxième point sur l'âme longitudinale, de façon à ménager au moins une zone de flexion radiale c'est-à-dire perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal XX.The rod 2 is advantageously embedded in at least a first and a second point on the longitudinal core, so as to provide at least one zone of radial flexion, that is to say perpendicular to the longitudinal axis XX.

La tige 2 peut, comme visible sur les figures illustratives, être encastrée à chacune de ses extrémités qui coïncident avec les extrémités de l'âme allongée 1. Ceci n'est cependant pas obligatoire et il est envisageable une tige 2 encastrée sur l'âme 1 au niveau d'autres points ou zones ; dans ces configurations la tige présente plus d'une courbureThe rod 2 can, as visible in the illustrative figures, be embedded at each of its ends which coincide with the ends of the elongated core 1. This is however not compulsory and it is possible to envisage a rod 2 embedded in the core 1 at other points or areas; in these configurations the rod has more than one curvature

Préférentiellement la tige 2 présentera une unique courbure selon la longueur de l'âme 1 ; l'ensemble des figures montrent cette caractéristique. Sur les figures 1, et 4 à 9 la courbure de la tige 2 présente une convexité vis-à-vis de l'âme ; sur les figures 3 et 10 la ou les tiges 2 présentent une concavité vis-à-vis de l'âme 1.Preferably the rod 2 will have a single curvature along the length of the core 1; all the figures show this characteristic. On the figures 1 , and 4 to 9 the curvature of the rod 2 has a convexity with respect to the core; on the figures 3 and 10 the rod (s) 2 have a concavity with respect to the core 1.

Il est envisageable selon l'invention telle qu'illustrée sur les figures 2, 2A et 2B de prévoir au moins une tige 2 non courbe mais formée d'au moins une première 23 et une deuxième 24 partie rectiligne dont l'une des extrémités est encastrée et coïncide avec l'une des extrémités de l'âme 1, et dont l'autre extrémité 25 coïncide entre elle.It is conceivable according to the invention as illustrated on the Figures 2, 2A and 2B to provide at least one rod 2 which is not curved but formed by at least a first 23 and a second 24 rectilinear part, one of the ends of which is embedded and coincides with one of the ends of the core 1, and the another end 25 coincides with it.

Dans tous les cas il s'agit de ménager au moins une zone de flexion de la ou des tiges 2 de telle sorte que la brosse puisse aisément passer à travers un élément de type essoreur tel que défini plus haut, faisant partie d'un conteneur de mascara. La brosse selon l'invention peut être radialement comprimée au passage à travers d'un essoreur, puis s'expanser radialement en dehors du conteneur de mascara. Ceci permet de conserver une charge de produit fluide ou pâteux tel que du mascara à l'intérieur des zones de la brosse, contrairement à l'art antérieur où ledit produit est peu retenu par la brosse après son passage à travers l'essoreur.In all cases, this involves providing at least one bending zone for the rod (s) 2 so that the brush can easily pass through a wringer-type element as defined above, forming part of a container. of mascara. The brush according to the invention can be radially compressed when passing through a wringer, then expand radially outside the container of mascara. This keeps a load of fluid or pasty product such as mascara inside the brush areas, unlike the prior art where said product is little retained by the brush after it has passed through the wiper.

En outre la brosse selon l'invention peut être munie de picots 3 qui peuvent être fixés sur la ou les tiges 2 ; l'ensemble des figures montrent cette caractéristique excepté les figures 5, 5A et 5B où les tiges ne sont pas munies de picots. Les picots 3 peuvent en outre être fixés directement sur l'âme 1 de la brosse ; les figures 6, 6A, 6B, 10 et 10A illustrent ces modes de réalisation de l'invention. Les picots peuvent être droits ou courbés, orientés radialement ou non.In addition, the brush according to the invention can be provided with pins 3 which can be fixed on the rod (s) 2; all the figures show this characteristic except for the Figures 5, 5A and 5B where the stems are not provided with pins. The pins 3 can also be fixed directly to the core 1 of the brush; the Figures 6, 6A, 6B, 10 and 10A illustrate these embodiments of the invention. The pins can be straight or curved, oriented radially or not.

Par ailleurs la ou les tiges 2 peuvent présenter une surface extérieure non lisse, plus particulièrement munie de creux dans lesquels des picots 3 peuvent être implantés.Furthermore, the rod (s) 2 may have a non-smooth external surface, more particularly provided with recesses in which pins 3 can be implanted.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention le dispositif est réalisé en une matière plastique, obtenu par injection en une seule pièce.According to one embodiment of the invention, the device is made of a plastic material, obtained by injection in one piece.

De façon avantageuse la ou les tiges 2 constitutives de la brosse présentent une section transversale de valeur inférieure à celle de la section transversale moyenne de l'âme 1. Ainsi l'essentiel de la rigidité du dispositif est réalisé par l'âme 1, en supposant bien entendu que l'âme et les tiges sont constitués du même matériau.Advantageously, the rod (s) 2 constituting the brush have a cross section of value less than that of the average cross section of the core 1. Thus most of the rigidity of the device is produced by the core 1, in of course assuming that the core and the rods are made of the same material.

Un dispositif selon l'invention comprend au moins une tige 2, de préférence de plusieurs poutres; leur nombre peut s'élever jusqu'à 16 environ, pour des brosses de type mascara ayant une longueur de 2 à 3 cm, et dont le diamètre extérieur maximal est de l'ordre de 1 cm. L'élasticité de la ou des tiges 2 est telle qu'elle permet une variation du diamètre extérieur du dispositif de l'ordre de 10% de sa longueur.A device according to the invention comprises at least one rod 2, preferably of several beams; their number can be up to about 16, for mascara type brushes having a length of 2 to 3 cm, and whose maximum outside diameter is of the order of 1 cm. The elasticity of the rod (s) 2 is such that it allows a variation of the external diameter of the device of the order of 10% of its length.

Des exemples illustratifs de l'invention sont représentés sur les figures annexées sur lesquelles :
Les figures 1, 1A et 1B montrent une brosse pourvue d'une tige 2 encastrée à chacune de ses extrémités 20, 21 sur l'âme 1 ; la tige est courbe, bombée vers l'extérieur, avec une convexité tournée vers l'âme. Des picots 3 sont prévus, attachés sur la tige 2, orientés radialement. De façon spécifique les picots 3 sont ici alignés selon deux rangées et ils sont décalés selon la longueur de la tige de sorte que l'on trouve alternativement un picot de la première rangée et un picot de la deuxième rangée selon la longueur de la tige 2.Illustrative examples of the invention are shown in the appended figures in which:
The Figures 1, 1A and 1B show a brush provided with a rod 2 embedded at each of its ends 20, 21 on the core 1; the stem is curved, curved outwards, with a convexity turned towards the core. Pins 3 are provided, attached to the rod 2, oriented radially. Specifically, the pins 3 are here aligned in two rows and they are offset along the length of the rod so that there is alternately a spike in the first row and a spike in the second row along the length of the rod 2 .

Les figures 2, 2A et 2B illustrent un mode de réalisation qui diffère de celui des figures 1, 1A et 1B par la forme de la tige 2 qui est ici constituée de deux parties 23, 24 rectilignes qui se rejoignent à l'une de leurs extrémités et dont les autres extrémités sont chacune encastrée à une extrémité de l'âme 1The Figures 2, 2A and 2B illustrate an embodiment which differs from that of Figures 1, 1A and 1B by the shape of the rod 2 which here consists of two straight parts 23, 24 which meet at one of their ends and whose other ends are each embedded at one end of the core 1

Les figures 3, 3A et 3B montrent un mode de réalisation où la (ou les) tige 2 est courbe, de concavité tournée vers l'extérieur de la brosse.The Figures 3, 3A and 3B show an embodiment where the rod (s) 2 is curved, of concavity turned towards the outside of the brush.

Les figures 4, 4A et 4B concernent une brosse qui diffère de celle de la figure 1 par la forme des picots 3 qui, ici, forment une seule rangée et dont la largeur correspond sensiblement à celle de la tige 2. A noter que selon ce mode de réalisation, l'âme 1 est creuse, cylindrique.The Figures 4, 4A and 4B relate to a brush that differs from that of the figure 1 by the shape of the pins 3 which, here, form a single row and whose width corresponds substantially to that of the rod 2. Note that according to this embodiment, the core 1 is hollow, cylindrical.

Les figures 5, 5A et 5B ont trait à une brosse pourvue de plusieurs tiges 2 non munies de picots 3. Les tiges 2, ici au nombre de six, sont régulièrement réparties autour de l'âme 1.The Figures 5, 5A and 5B relate to a brush provided with several rods 2 not provided with pins 3.

Les figures 9, 9A représentent une brosse où neuf tiges 2 sont fixées sur l'âme 1. Les tiges 2 présentent une surface extérieure non lisse, avec des évidements qui peuvent subsister tel quel ou bien qui peuvent servir d'encastrement pour des picots.The Figures 9, 9A represent a brush where nine rods 2 are fixed on the core 1. The rods 2 have a non-smooth outer surface, with recesses which may remain as such or which may serve as embedding for pins.

Les figures 10, 10A concernent une brosse « mixte » comportant une pluralité de tiges courbes telles que montrées sur la figure 3, et une pluralité de tiges en deux parties telles que représentées sur la figure 2. Comme le montre clairement la figure 10A, une telle brosse comprend trois tiges courbes entre lesquelles sont radialement intercalées trois tiges en deux parties.The figures 10, 10A relate to a “mixed” brush comprising a plurality of curved rods as shown on the figure 3 , and a plurality of rods in two parts as shown on the figure 2 .
