Definitions
- the present invention relates to applicators for applying a cosmetic composition to the eyelashes or the eyebrows, said applicators also being known as mascara brushes.
- a mascara brush should enable the eyelashes to be loaded with composition, without however clumping the eyelashes together.
- the brush should thus also be capable of separating the eyelashes.
- Brushes have been made available with a wide variety of shapes, with the purpose of obtaining both loading and separating properties that are satisfactory.
- brushes are known having facets that are machined on a brush blank as described in EP
- the brush should be able to be made easily, and to be used by the user without any special precautions.
- the above- mentioned flattening problem is reduced, or even
- Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide packaging and applicator device for applying a composition to the eyelashes or the eyebrows, said device comprising :
- bristles that are connected to the core, the free ends of the bristles defining an envelope surface, the brush having a varying portion of cross-section that varies along the longitudinal axis and that passes through at least one extremum at a non-zero distance from its axial ends;
- the envelope surface not having a plane surface along the varying portion, and defining at least one facet that is not plane and that is not parallel to the longitudinal axis of the core, the facet being defined by at least one edge that is never rectilinear and that is contained in a plane that passes through the core, the edge presenting a distance to the longitudinal axis of the core that passes through a maximum wherever the cross-section of the varying portion also passes through a maximum, and through a minimum wherever the cross- section of the varying portion also passes through a minimum.
- the invention makes it possible to satisfy the above-mentioned need.
- the shape of the brush enables wiping to be progressive.
- the brush defines at least three facets around the longitudinal axis of the core, at least two of which are not plane, are of the same shape, and are not parallel to the longitudinal axis.
- At least one longitudinal strip of the envelope surface may extend between two adjacent facets when said facets are at a distance from each other, or one
- longitudinal edge may be formed at the junction of two facets when said facets are contiguous.
- the strip or the edge presents a distance to the axis of the core that varies along the axis of the core.
- the longitudinal strip presents a shape that is not plane between its axial ends.
- distance to the core of the envelope surface at a point along the core should be understood to mean the shortest distance to the core within a cross- section of the envelope surface of the brush that passes through said point. Said shortest distance is designated by the magnitude d m i n .
- d max designates the greatest distance from the envelope surface to the longitudinal axis of the core, within the same cross- section .
- Each facet has a distance to the core that varies along the varying portion.
- the variation includes an extremum.
- a tangent to the facet has a slope that varies along the facet.
- the slope formed by the tangent relative to the longitudinal axis of the core varies in monotonic manner.
- the slope decreases continuously, passes through zero, and then increases continuously.
- the slope is zero at the point at which the cross-section of the envelope surface is at its maximum or its minimum, e.g. substantially mid-way along the bristled portion of the brush.
- the brush need not have any facet of a shape that is cylindrical around an axis that is at a constant angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the core.
- the brush need not have any rectilinear edge parallel to the longitudinal axis of the core.
- a tangent to the longitudinal strip that extends between two adjacent facets may have a slope that likewise varies along the longitudinal strip, e.g. increasing then decreasing, or vice versa, from one end of the
- the brush presents zones having different properties without the relative differences in the lengths of the bristles within a single cross-section being very substantial; it is thus easier to avoid having zones with bristles that are too short and thus load too much composition on the eyelashes, which could make the operation of applying makeup more difficult and/or generate a problem of the brush and/or the wiper member being flattened.
- all of the facets are of the same shape, and the portion of the envelope surface that corresponds to a facet becomes superposed on the portion of the envelope surface that corresponds to another facet of identical shape, on turning the brush about the
- the distance d m i n may be greater than or equal to 3.5 mm at the point at which the cross-section of the brush is at its greatest, e.g. approximately mid-way along the bristled portion of the brush for a brush that is generally egg shaped.
- the distance d max may be greater than or equal to 5 mm, or greater than or equal to 14 mm, at the point at which the cross-section of the brush is at its greatest.
- the envelope surface may present axial symmetry about the longitudinal axis of the core.
- At least one facet may present a profile that is concave or convex when the brush is observed in at least one direction of observation that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the core. All of the facets are preferably non-plane. Also preferably, when the brush is observed perpendicularly to its longitudinal axis, the facets are either convex or concave, without any points of inflection and without any undulating shapes.
- the facets may present a profile that is rectilinear, concave, or convex.
- Two adjacent facets may be contiguous in a given cross-section.
- two adjacent facets may be at a non zero distance from each other in a given cross- section, thus being separated by a longitudinal strip as defined above.
- the longitudinal strip may be of zero width over at least a fraction of the length of the brush, the facets thus locally touching.
- the core may be twisted, in particular it may have a right-hand twist or a left-hand twist.
- the bristles may be of diameter lying in the range 6/100 mm to 35/100 mm.
- the strands of the core may be of diameter lying in the range 0.35 mm to 1.5 mm.
- the cross-section of the envelope surface may pass through an extremum, preferably a maximum, between one third and two thirds of the way along the portion of the core carrying bristles.
- the varying portion may extend over the entire length of the portion of the core that carries the bristles. In a variant, the varying portion extends over a fraction only of the portion of the core that carries the bristles.
- the brush may include distal and proximal envelope-surface portions that are prismatic in shape, the distal portion being longer than the proximal
- the varying portion may be
- the facets may extend axially as far as the distal and/or proximal end(s) of said portion carrying the bristles.
- the brush presents an
- proximal and distal portions that have their own facets, e.g. that are plane and oriented obliquely relative to the longitudinal axis of the core, and that are preferably situated to extend the facets of the
- the container is fitted with a wiper member .
- the invention also provides a method of applying makeup to the eyelashes or the eyebrows, in which method the composition is applied to the eyelashes or to the eyebrows by means of a device of the invention.
- said brush is a twisted-core brush
- in order to manufacture said brush it is possible to start from a blank of shape that is circularly cylindrical, which blank is then machined so as to impart thereto a shape that is circularly symmetrical, with a longitudinal profile that is not rectilinear.
- the envelope surface of the brush is thus in the shape of an American football, an hourglass, a fish, or a peanut, for example.
- the facets are trimmed. It is also possible to pass directly from a circularly-cylindrical blank to the final shape by machining the brush.

- Figure 19 shows a variant embodiment of the container .
- Figure 1 comprises: a container 2 containing the
- composition P for application and an applicator 3 comprising a stem 4 of longitudinal axis X, provided at one end with a brush 5 and at the other end with a handle 6 that also constitutes a closure cap for closing the container 2.
- composition P is for application to the
- eyelashes and/or the eyebrows may include iron oxide, amongst others pigments, and an aqueous or organic solvent, depending on the formulation.
- the container 2 comprises a body 2b that is provided with a neck 7 in which there is engaged a wiper member 8 presenting a lip 9 that is adapted to wipe the stem 4 while it is being removed from the container.
- the lip 9 defines an orifice of section that is circular, and of diameter that is slightly greater than the diameter of the stem 4.
- the stem may be provided at its distal end with an intermediate element 10 that is elastically deformable, and in which the brush 5 is fastened, the intermediate element 10 itself being engaged in a housing of a rigid portion of the stem.
- the intermediate element 10 may be as described in US application No. 2008/0107470.
- the wiper member 8 may be of any kind, and, in particular, it may be conventional or as described in US applications Nos. 2009/0028627 or 2009/0052969.
- FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the brush 5 in
- the brush 5 includes a core 11 that extends along a rectilinear longitudinal axis Y that coincides with the longitudinal axis of the stem 4.
- the core 11 is preferably constituted by two metal strands that are twisted together so as to trap bristles having free ends that define an envelope surface E.
- the core 11 is formed by folding a wire into a U-shape, then twisting said wire about its own axis after the bristles have been inserted between the strands.
- the core 11 presents a proximal portion 11a that does not have bristles, and a bristled portion lib of rectilinear longitudinal axis that carries the
- the portion 11a is received in a housing of the stem 4, possibly provided with an intermediate element 10 as shown.
- the bristled portion lib is of total length L max , measured along the longitudinal axis of the core 11.
- the varying portion of the brush extends over the entire bristled portion lib of the core.
- the envelope surface E presents a cross-section that varies along the bristled portion, and that, at at least one point along its length, passes through at least one extremum that is situated at a non-zero distance from the distal and proximal ends 13a and 13b of the bristled portion.
- a greatest transverse dimension D of the envelope surface E lies in the range 10 mm to 35 mm, or in the range 10 mm to 28 mm, for example .
- the cross-section of the envelope surface E of the brush passes through a maximum in a middle region, the envelope surface E having a general bulbous shape, like an American football with facets .
- the envelope surface E defines a plurality of facets 20 of identical shape, and which, by way of example, are separated by longitudinal strips 21, each extending between two adjacent facets 20, as shown.
- the facets 20 may extend axially as far as the distal and proximal ends 13a and 13b of the bristled portion of the brush 5.
- the facets 20 may be formed by machining a brush blank having an envelope surface that is a surface of revolution. Machining may be performed by a machine that is numerically controlled. By way of example, machining is performed in such a manner as to give the facets a profile that is generally outwardly convex when the brush is observed in a direction that is perpendicular to its longitudinal axis Y, as shown in Figure 2, and that is outwardly concave when the brush is observed along its longitudinal axis Y, as shown in Figure 3. Machining may also be performed in two stages, namely giving the blank an egg shape starting from a shape this is circularly cylindrical, and then trimming the egg-shaped blank to produce the facets, the facets trimmed in this way not being plane.
- the width ( 2 of the facets 20, measured between the edges 24 via which said facets join the longitudinal strips 21, may vary along the longitudinal axis Y of the brush 5, e.g. passing through a maximum at the point at which the envelope surface E presents a greatest cross- section.
- the edges 24 that border a single facet 20 are two curved lines that are concave towards each other, when the facet is
- the distance from the edges 24 to the core vary along the axis of the core.
- the width ( 1 of the longitudinal strips 21 varies between the ends 13a and 13b of the bristled portion.
- the width ( 1 is at its maximum at the point at which the cross-section of the envelope surface E is at its maximum.
- Each edge 24 extends in a single plane that contains the longitudinal axis of the core. Such a plane K is shown in Figure 4.
- I d max -d m in I /d m in lies in the range 0.1 to 3, or in the range 0.1 to 5, for example.
- d max equals 8
- d m i n equals 3.5 for a brush in which the envelope surface E passes through a cross-section maximum mid-way along the bristled portion.
- the brush presents four facets 20 that are separated by the same number of longitudinal strips 21.
- the brush thus includes three facets 20 that are separated by three longitudinal strips 21.
- the number of facets 20 is six, and said facets are contiguous, being connected together via edges 24.
- the facets 20 have a profile that is outwardly concave in cross-section.
- the greatest transverse dimension of the envelope surface E varies by a factor that is not less than 2, as can be seen in Figures 3, 6, or 8, for example.
- bristled portion may include an intermediate portion 5a that corresponds to the varying portion. Said portion may present a plurality of facets 20, and the envelope surface E of the intermediate portion 5a may define an extremum of the cross-section of the envelope surface E of the bristled portion of the brush, specifically a minimum in the embodiment in these figures.
- the facets 20 are connected to distal and proximal portions 5b and 5c that may present prismatic shapes with respective facets 20b and 20c, as shown.
- Each of the facets 20b and 20c is situated in the prolongation of a facet 20 of the intermediate portion 5a and may be plane, the facets 20 not being plane.
- the cross-section of the envelope surface E of the brush 5 increases over the distal portion 5b, towards the stem 4, while conserving the same shape in cross-section, namely square in the embodiment shown, then decreases, passing through a minimum substantially mid-way along the intermediate portion 5a, and increases once again until it reaches the proximal portion 5c, at which point said cross-section decreases towards the proximal end 13b of the bristled portion.
- the facets 20b and 20 may be connected together forming edges 27 that are arranged as the sides of a polygon, in particular a square, in a common plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the core.
- the facets 20 and 20c may be connected together via edges 28, also arranged as the sides of a polygon, in
- the facets 20 are contiguous, being connected together via edges 24 that present a distance to the axis Y that varies along the axis Y.
- the facets 20 may have a profile that is rectilinear when observed along the axis Y, as shown in Figures 10, 12, or 14.
- Figure 15A shows the possibility of the facets 20 presenting, in cross-section, a profile that is outwardly convex, e.g. with a radius of curvature that is greater than the radius of curvature of the envelope surface Ei of the circularly-cylindrical blank from which the brush is made.
- Figure 15B shows the possibility of the facets 20 presenting, in cross-section, a profile that is
- each of the facets 20 being, for example, such that the edges 24 formed at the junction of the facets 20, form part of the envelope surface Ei of the blank that served to make the brush, at at least one point along the length of the brush.
- Figure 15C shows the possibility of the brush 5 presenting facets 20 that are not all of identical shape, e.g. with alternating facets 20 having, in cross-section, a profile that is rectilinear and a profile that is concave.
- Figure 15C also shows the possibility of the brush 5 presenting at least two facets having an

- the angle a lies in the range 1° to 20°.
- the container 2 can be of various shapes and can be made in such a manner that the brush 5 is situated in the proximity of the inside surface 2a of the container while the brush 5 is being removed from or inserted into the container .
- Figure 19 shows the possibility of making the container 2 with a double sheath, the inner sheath defining the inside surface 2a of the container that is in contact with the composition.
