Description

L'invention concerne le domaine du maquillage, plus particulièrement celui des yeux, par adjonction aux cils naturels de cils artificiels, plus couramment appelés « faux-cils ».The invention relates to the field of makeup, more particularly that of the eyes, by adding natural eyelashes to artificial eyelashes, more commonly called "false eyelashes".

L'invention concerne plus précisément un dispositif de distribution de cils artificiels. Un tel dispositif de distribution de cils est connu par le document US2012/000957 . L'emploi de cils artificiels a généralement pour but d'augmenter le volume, la longueur, ou l'éclat de cils naturels, ou d'apporter au visage un élément esthétique et décoratif au même titre qu'un bijou, par exemple.The invention relates more specifically to a device for dispensing artificial eyelashes. Such an eyelash dispensing device is known from the document US2012 / 000957 . The use of artificial eyelashes is generally intended to increase the volume, the length, or the brightness of natural eyelashes, or to bring to the face an aesthetic and decorative element in the same way as a jewel, for example.

Les cils artificiels sont généralement commercialisés sous forme d'unités, chaque unité comprenant une frange de cils et une bande de liaison maintenant les cils entre eux au niveau de leur base, l'autre extrémité des cils étant libre. Ces unités peuvent être vendues par paires, dans des boitiers classiques qui n'ont que très peu évolué depuis leurs premières apparitions.The artificial eyelashes are generally marketed in the form of units, each unit comprising an eyelash fringe and a binding strip holding the eyelashes together at their base, the other end of the eyelashes being free. These units can be sold in pairs, in classic cases that have evolved very little since their first appearances.

Ces boitiers ne présentent pas d'aspect esthétique ou ludique particulier pour le consommateur, qui puisse l'attirer vers un produit plutôt qu'un autre. En effet, les sociétés commercialisant ces boitiers ne peuvent se distinguer des autres produits que par des variations de couleurs, mais ne peuvent pas conférer à des boitiers de cils artificiels des caractères originaux dans le design ou dans le fonctionnement qui soient véritablement identitaires de la marque des cils.These boxes do not have a particular aesthetic or playful aspect for the consumer, which can attract one product rather than another. Indeed, the companies marketing these boxes can be distinguished from other products by color variations, but can not confer on artificial eyelash cases original characters in the design or operation that are truly brand identity Eyelash.

En outre, ces boitiers sont peu pratiques puisqu'ils ne fournissent qu'un stock limité d'unités de cils artificiels, typiquement une seule paire, ce qui tend à augmenter le volume occupé par un tel boitier, ainsi que le prix de la paire d'unités de cils vendue. Ces deux facteurs tendent à limiter l'achat de quantités importantes de cils artificiels.In addition, these boxes are impractical since they only provide a limited stock of artificial eyelash units, typically a single pair, which tends to increase the volume occupied by such a case, as well as the price of the pair of eyelash units sold. These two factors tend to limit the purchase of significant quantities of artificial eyelashes.

Par ailleurs, la pose des unités de cils sur les paupières est une opération délicate. En effet, l'utilisateur doit d'abord encoller la bande de liaison. Il doit ensuite appliquer la bande de liaison encollée le long du bord de la paupière où sont implantés les cils naturels.Moreover, the installation of eyelash units on the eyelids is a delicate operation. Indeed, the user must first glue the bonding strip. He must then Apply the bonded tape along the edge of the eyelid where the natural eyelashes are implanted.

Il existe donc un besoin de proposer des boîtiers qui permettent de stocker un grand nombre de cils artificiels dans un encombrement limité.There is therefore a need to provide housings that can store a large number of artificial eyelashes in a limited space.

Il existe en outre un besoin de proposer des boitiers de cils artificiels permettant une manipulation simple et rapide des cils artificiels, selon une gestuelle qui doit éviter de paraître agressive pour l'oeil et qui permette à l'utilisateur de contrôler les opérations de pose, notamment en se regardant dans un miroir.There is also a need to provide artificial eyelash cases for easy and quick manipulation of artificial eyelashes, according to a gesture that must avoid appearing aggressive to the eye and allows the user to control the operations of installation, especially by looking in a mirror.

L'invention telle qu'elle est caractérisée dans les revendications a pour objectif de pallier les difficultés mentionnées plus haut et propose à cette fin un dispositif de distribution de cils artificiels, comprenant un boîtier muni d'une zone de distribution, un support sur lequel est fixée une pluralité de cils artificiels, et un mécanisme de déplacement apte à être actionné pour provoquer un déplacement du support afin d'acheminer les cils artificiels vers la zone de distribution et permettre la sortie des cils artificiels à travers ladite zone de distribution, lesdits cils étant orientés transversalement, en particulier orthogonalement, à un axe d'extension du support, au moins lors de leur passage au niveau de ladite zone de distribution, voire tout le long dudit support.The invention as characterized in the claims aims to overcome the difficulties mentioned above and proposes for this purpose an artificial eyelash dispensing device, comprising a housing provided with a dispensing zone, a support on which a plurality of artificial eyelashes is attached, and a movement mechanism operable to cause movement of the carrier to route the artificial eyelashes to the dispensing area and allow artificial eyelashes to exit through said dispensing area, eyelashes being oriented transversely, in particular orthogonally, to an axis of extension of the support, at least during their passage at said distribution zone, or all along said support.

Grâce au support et à son mécanisme de déplacement, l'utilisateur peut disposer d'un grand nombre de cils, facilement distribuables à partir du boîtier. En outre, l'orientation des cils permet d'approcher le boîtier transversalement à l'oeil, ce qui sera perçu comme une gestuelle moins agressive par rapport à un mouvement de pose dans l'axe du regard. Il est encore à noter qu'une telle configuration permet de tenir le boîtier pendant la pose des cils en laissant à l'utilisateur la possibilité de se voir dans un miroir car le boîtier qui est alors proche de l'oeil n'est cependant pas ou peu dans son champ de vision.Thanks to the support and its movement mechanism, the user can have a large number of eyelashes, easily distributable from the housing. In addition, the orientation of the eyelashes makes it possible to approach the casing transversely to the eye, which will be perceived as a gesture less aggressive compared to a pose movement in the axis of the gaze. It should also be noted that such a configuration makes it possible to hold the casing during the installation of the eyelashes, leaving the user the possibility of seeing himself in a mirror because the casing which is then close to the eye is not, however, or little in his field of vision.

Les cils sont groupés par unités de cils, notamment à l'aide d'une bande de liaison.The eyelashes are grouped in eyelash units, in particular using a connecting strip.

Avantageusement, ladite bande de liaison est positionnée latéralement au-delà dudit support de sorte que ledit support ne fasse pas obstacle à la pose des unités de cils sur la paupière.Advantageously, said connecting strip is positioned laterally beyond said support so that said support does not hinder the installation of the eyelash units on the eyelid.

Selon l'invention, les cils d'une desdites unités de cils présentent une orientation opposée aux cils de l'unité de cils précédente et/ou suivante le long du support.According to the invention, the eyelashes of one of said eyelash units have an opposite orientation to the eyelashes of the preceding and / or subsequent eyelash unit along the support.

Une telle caractéristique permet de disposer de première et de seconde catégories d'unités de cils, correspondant à chacune des deux orientations données auxdites unités de cils, la première catégorie permettant une pose facilité des cils sur l'oeil droit et la seconde une pose facilité des cils sur l'oeil gauche, en tenant le boîtier de la main correspondante et avec une gestuelle symétrique.Such a characteristic makes it possible to have first and second categories of eyelash units, corresponding to each of the two orientations given to said eyelash units, the first category allowing an easy installation of the eyelashes on the right eye and the second an easier pose. eyelashes on the left eye, holding the case of the corresponding hand and with a symmetrical gesture.

Lesdites unités de cils sont avantageusement disposées dans chacune desdites orientations de façon alternée, ceci afin de permettre le maquillage de l'un des yeux puis de l'autre, à chaque utilisation.Said eyelash units are advantageously arranged in each of said orientations alternately, in order to allow the makeup of one of the eyes and then the other, with each use.

Comme illustré à la figure 1, l'invention concerne un dispositif de distribution de cils artificiels.As illustrated in figure 1 the invention relates to a device for dispensing artificial eyelashes.

Ce dispositif 1 comprend un boitier 10, de préférence en matière plastique telle que du polypropylène (PP), polyéthylène (PE), acrylonitrile butadiène styrène (ABS), styrène acrylonitrile (SAN), ou polyéthylène téréphtalate (PET), polyéthylène téréphtalate glycolisé (PETG), en résine Surlyn®, polyoxyméthylène (POM). Le boitier peut également être réalisé en métal, comme l'aluminium, le Zamak, etc.This device 1 comprises a housing 10, preferably of plastic such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), styrene acrylonitrile (SAN), or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene glycolized terephthalate (PETG), in Surlyn® resin, polyoxymethylene (POM). The case can also be made of metal, such as aluminum, Zamak, etc.

Ce boitier 10 peut être opaque ou au contraire transparent, pour laisser apparaitre les éléments qu'il contient.This case 10 may be opaque or otherwise transparent, to reveal the elements it contains.

Comme illustré aux figures 2 et 3, le boitier 10 est pourvu d'une zone 11 de distribution, formé ici par une ouverture du boîtier, par laquelle les cils 41 sortent pour être utilisés par un individu. Ledit dispositif comprend également, à l'intérieur du boîtier 10, un support 30, illustré en pointillée, et configuré ici sous la forme d'une bande sur laquelle les cils 41 sont fixés. Toujours à l'intérieur du boîtier 10, ledit dispositif comprend encore un mécanisme de déplacement apte à être actionné pour provoquer un déplacement de la bande 30 afin d'acheminer les cils 41 vers l'ouverture de distribution 11. Ledit dispositif est ainsi configuré pour permettre la sortie des cils artificiels 41 à travers l'ouverture de distribution 11, sous l'action du déplacement de la bande 30.As illustrated in figures 2 and 3 , the housing 10 is provided with a distribution zone 11, formed here by an opening of the housing, by which the eyelashes 41 come out for use by an individual. Said device also comprises, inside the housing 10, a support 30, illustrated in dashed line, and configured here in the form of a band on which the eyelashes 41 are fixed. Still inside the housing 10, said device further comprises a displacement mechanism operable to cause a displacement of the band 30 in order to convey the eyelashes 41 to the dispensing opening 11. Said device is thus configured to allow the artificial lashes 41 to exit through the dispensing opening 11, under the action of the displacement of the band 30.

Selon l'invention, lesdits cils 41 sont orientés transversalement à un axe d'extension du support 30, au moins lors de leur passage au niveau de ladite zone de distribution 11. Ils sont ici plus particulièrement orientés orthogonalement à l'axe d'extension de ladite bande 30, ceci de préférence tout le long dudit support. Une telle orientation des cils permet une manipulation des cils pour leur encollage et/ou leur pose selon une gestuelle simple et intuitive.According to the invention, said eyelashes 41 are oriented transversely to an axis of extension of the support 30, at least during their passage at said distribution zone 11. They are here more particularly oriented orthogonally to the extension axis of said strip 30, this preferably all along said support. Such an orientation of the eyelashes allows manipulation of the eyelashes for their gluing and / or their installation according to a simple and intuitive gestures.

Sur la bande 30, les cils sont avantageusement regroupés sous forme d'unités 40 de cils.On the band 30, the eyelashes are advantageously grouped together as eyelash units 40.

La fixation des unités sur la bande 30 est de préférence assurée par un revêtement adhésif de la bande, le revêtement présentant des propriétés adaptées pour autoriser un décollement des unités 40 de distribution, sans dégrader les cils 41.Fixing the units on the strip 30 is preferably provided by an adhesive coating of the strip, the coating having properties adapted to allow detachment of the dispensing units 40, without degrading the eyelashes 41.

Chaque unité 40 de cils pourra comprendre une frange de cils 41 et une bande de liaison 42. Les cils sont liés entre eux en une extrémité, de préférence leur base, par la bande de liaison 42, l'autre extrémité étant libre.Each unit 40 of eyelashes may comprise an eyelash fringe 41 and a connecting strip 42. The eyelashes are linked together at one end, preferably their base, by the connecting strip 42, the other end being free.

Les cils artificiels 41 et la bande de liaison 42 sont réalisés en fibres synthétiques, typiquement en poly téréphtalate de butylène (PBT), et sont solidarisés à la bande de liaison 42 par toute méthode connue, par exemple ils peuvent être collés ou venus de matière avec la bande de liaison. Ils peuvent également être cousus à la bande de liaison ou soudés à celle-ci.The artificial eyelashes 41 and the connecting strip 42 are made of synthetic fibers, typically polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and are secured to the connecting strip 42 by any known method, for example they can be glued or come from material with the connecting strip. They can also be sewn to the bonding strip or welded to it.

Avantageusement, ladite bande de liaison 42 est positionnée latéralement au-delà dudit support 30. Cela permet de faciliter son encollage et/ou sa pose sur les paupières.Advantageously, said connecting strip 42 is positioned laterally beyond said support 30. This facilitates its sizing and / or laying on the eyelids.

Selon un aspect préféré de l'invention, mieux visible figure 7, les cils d'une desdites unités 40 de cils présentent une orientation opposée aux cils de l'unité 40 de cils précédente et/ou suivante le long du support. Un tel changement d'orientation a avantageusement lieu à chaque unité 40 de cils de sorte que lesdites unités 40 de cils sont alternativement orientées dans un sens et dans l'autre.According to a preferred aspect of the invention, better visible figure 7 , the eyelashes of one of said eyelash units 40 have an opposite orientation to the eyelashes of the previous and / or subsequent eyelash unit 40 along the support. Such a change of orientation advantageously takes place at each unit 40 of eyelashes so that said eyelash units 40 are alternately oriented in one direction and the other.

Une telle caractéristique permet de manipuler une unité 40 de cils, destinée à oeil droit, puis l'unité 40 de cils suivante, destinée à un oeil gauche (ou inversement) selon des gestes symétriques, par chacune des mains correspondantes. On évite ainsi à l'utilisateur d'avoir à contourner l'obstacle que constituerait le nez dans au moins un des cas.Such a characteristic makes it possible to manipulate a unit 40 of eyelashes, intended for right eye, then the following unit 40 of eyelashes, intended for a left eye (or vice versa) according to symmetrical gestures, by each of the corresponding hands. This avoids the user having to circumvent the obstacle that would be the nose in at least one case.

La bande 30 pourra présenter une pluralité de zones adhésives disjointes, lesdites zones étant par exemple couvertes d'un revêtement adhésif, le reste de la bande n'étant pas adhésif.The strip 30 may have a plurality of disjoint adhesive areas, said areas being for example covered with an adhesive coating, the rest of the strip not being adhesive.

Comme cela est illustré aux figures 6a et 6b, chacune desdites zones adhésives est formée, par exemple, d'une bande adhésive 200 positionnée le long du support.As illustrated in Figures 6a and 6b each of said adhesive zones is formed, for example, of an adhesive tape 200 positioned along the support.

A la figure 6a lesdites bandes adhésives 200, prévues au nombre de deux, sont situées le long de deux bords longitudinaux 202, 204 de ladite bande.To the figure 6a said adhesive strips 200, two of which are provided, are located along two longitudinal edges 202, 204 of said strip.

A la figure 6b, ladite bande adhésive 200, prévue unique, est située sensiblement le long d'un axe médian de ladite bande 30 du support.To the figure 6b said single adhesive strip 200 is located substantially along a median axis of said strip 30 of the support.

Lesdites bandes adhésives 200 sont, par exemple, continue, comme ici, ou sous la forme de succession de points adhésifs (variante non illustrée).Said adhesive tapes 200 are, for example, continuous, as here, or in the form of a succession of adhesive dots (variant not shown).

Les unités 40 de distribution sont avantageusement collées sur lesdites zones adhésives, au niveau du milieu des cils dans le sens de leur longueur, afin de ne coller ni les extrémités des cils ni la bande de liaison, les cils artificiels présentant ici, comme les cils naturels, une courbure intrinsèque. Par exemple, si les cils présentent une longueur de 10 mm, les unités de cils peuvent être encollées sur une bande de 5 mm centrée sur la moitié de la longueur des cils.The dispensing units 40 are advantageously bonded to said adhesive zones, at the level of the middle of the eyelashes in the direction of their length, so as to not stick either the ends of the eyelashes or the binding strip, the artificial eyelashes presenting here, such as the eyelashes. natural, an intrinsic curvature. For example, if the eyelashes have a length of 10 mm, the eyelash units can be glued on a 5 mm strip centered on half the length of the eyelashes.

Ceci présente plusieurs avantages : les extrémités des cils sont maintenues séparées les uns des autres pour ne pas altérer l'aspect des cils une fois en place sur un utilisateur. En effet, le résidu de colle sur les unités de cils est réduit par rapport à un encollage complet des cils, et notamment, chaque extrémité libre de cil n'est pas collée au cil adjacent. L'esthétique des unités de cils est donc conservée.This has several advantages: the ends of the eyelashes are kept separate from one another so as not to alter the appearance of the eyelashes once in place on a user. Indeed, the glue residue on the eyelash units is reduced compared to a complete gluing of the eyelashes, and in particular, each free end of eyelash is not glued to the adjacent eyelash. The aesthetics of the eyelash units are therefore preserved.

Enfin, les cils étant maintenus par le milieu de leur longueur sur la bande, leurs extrémités sont moins protubérantes que ne le serait une extrémité si les cils étaient fixés sur la bande par l'autre extrémité.Finally, the eyelashes being held by the middle of their length on the band, their ends are less protruding than would be an end if the eyelashes were fixed on the band by the other end.

Autrement dit, il existe une hauteur H entre l'extrémité des cils d'une unité et la bande 30 qui est réduite par rapport à la même hauteur H' si les unités de cils étaient collées à la bande 30 au niveau de la bande de liaison.In other words, there is a height H between the end of the eyelashes of a unit and the band 30 which is reduced with respect to the same height H 'if the eyelash units were glued to the band 30 at the level of the band of link.

De ce fait, les extrémités des cils ne sont pas en contact avec une paroi du boitier 10 lorsque les cils sont déplacés dans le distributeur, et ceux-ci peuvent donc être déplacés librement dans le distributeur.As a result, the ends of the eyelashes are not in contact with a wall of the housing 10 when the eyelashes are moved in the dispenser, and these can therefore be moved freely in the dispenser.

Les unités 40 de cils sont de préférence régulièrement réparties sur la bande de support 30, de sorte qu'elles soient espacées d'un intervalle constant entre deux unités consécutives. Typiquement, cet intervalle peut être compris entre 5 et 20 mm.The eyelash units 40 are preferably uniformly distributed over the support band 30, so that they are spaced a constant interval between two consecutive units. Typically, this interval may be between 5 and 20 mm.

Typiquement, les cils 41 présentent une longueur L comprise entre 8 et 15 mm, de préférence égale à 10 mm.Typically, the eyelashes 41 have a length L of between 8 and 15 mm, preferably equal to 10 mm.

La largeur du boîtier pourra d'ailleurs avantageusement être adaptée de manière à ce que les cils ne viennent pas en contact avec les flancs 300 du boîtier. Autrement dit, les parois intérieurs desdits flancs sont écartées l'une de l'autre d'une distance supérieure à la longueur des cils 41 pris ensemble avec leur bande de liaison 42.The width of the housing may also advantageously be adapted so that the eyelashes do not come into contact with the sidewalls 300 of the housing. In other words, the inner walls of said flanks are separated from each other by a distance greater than the length of the eyelashes 41 taken together with their connecting strip 42.

Les unités 40 de cils, quant à elles, présentent une largeur I dépendant du nombre de cils. Elles sont de préférence toutes de même largeur.The eyelash units 40, in turn, have a width I depending on the number of eyelashes. They are preferably all of the same width.

L'ouverture de distribution 11 est située, par exemple, sur les flancs latéraux 300 du boîtier. Ladite ouverture de distribution s'étend, notamment, parallèlement à ladite bande 30 du support, sur au moins la longueur de la plus longue desdites unité de cils, par exemple sur une longueur permettant à plusieurs unité de cils d'apparaître à travers ladite ouverture 11.The dispensing opening 11 is located, for example, on the lateral flanks 300 of the housing. Said dispensing aperture extends, in particular, parallel to said band 30 of the support, over at least the length of the longest of said eyelash unit, for example over a length allowing several units of eyelashes to appear through said opening 11.

Aux figures 1 et 2, une seule unité 40 de cils a été représentée tandis qu'à la figure 3, trois unités 40 de cils ont été illustrés. Aux figures 1 et 3, on constate que les cils 41 débordent latéralement du boîtier 10.To the Figures 1 and 2 , a single unit 40 of eyelashes was represented while at the figure 3 three eyelash units 40 have been illustrated. To the figures 1 and 3 it is found that the eyelashes 41 project laterally from the casing 10.

Ce dernier présente pour cela, par exemple, une épaisseur réduite au droit de ladite zone de distribution 10, correspondant ici sensiblement à la largeur de la bande support 30. Autrement dit, lesdits flancs latéraux présentent un épaulement 302 donnant à l'extrémité distale du boîtier 10 la forme d'une sorte de bec.The latter has for this, for example, a reduced thickness in line with said distribution zone 10, here corresponding substantially to the width of the support band 30. In other words, said lateral flanks have a shoulder 302 giving the distal end of the casing 10 the shape of a kind of beak.

Comme visible à la figure 2, le mécanisme de déplacement comprend un dévidoir 20, monté rotatif par rapport au boitier 10. Une première extrémité longitudinale de la bande de support 30 est fixée au dévidoir, et une partie 31 de la bande, sur laquelle sont fixées les unités de cils artificiels à distribuer, est enroulée autour du dévidoir 20. Le dévidoir 20 est donc positionné en amont de l'ouverture de distribution 11, et peut même constituer l'origine du trajet de la bande.As visible at figure 2 , the displacement mechanism comprises a reel 20, rotatably mounted relative to the housing 10. A first longitudinal end of the support strip 30 is fixed to the reel, and a portion 31 of the strip, on which are fixed the units of artificial eyelashes to distribute, is wound around the reel 20. The reel 20 is positioned upstream of the dispensing opening 11, and may even be the origin of the path of the strip.

La partie 31 de bande enroulée autour du dévidoir constitue une réserve d'unités de cils 40. Plus particulièrement, le dimensionnement du dispositif 1 peut permettre d'enrouler plusieurs mètres de bande de support 30, par exemple entre 0.5 et 2 mètres de bandes, ce qui permet de stocker entre 60 et 180 unités de cils artificiels. Ceci permet à un utilisateur de disposer d'environ 10 à 30 jours de cils artificiels. Le dispositif de distribution 1 permet donc de stocker un nombre considérable d'unités de cils artificiels, contrairement aux boitiers classiques, et ce avec une grande compacité, grâce l'enroulement de la bande autour du dévidoir.The portion 31 of tape wrapped around the reel constitutes a reserve of eyelash units 40. More particularly, the dimensioning of the device 1 can make it possible to wind several meters of support band 30, for example between 0.5 and 2 meters of strips, which makes it possible to store between 60 and 180 units of artificial eyelashes. This allows a user to have about 10 to 30 days of artificial eyelashes. The dispensing device 1 thus makes it possible to store a considerable number of artificial eyelash units, unlike conventional boxes, and this with great compactness, thanks to the winding of the band around the reel.

Le dévidoir 20 prend la forme d'un cylindre de section transversale circulaire, le cylindre étant mobile en rotation autour de son axe de révolution, et de longueur supérieure ou égale à la largeur de la bande de support 30. Ceci permet que la bande de support 30 prenne bien appui sur la surface externe du cylindre 20.The reel 20 takes the form of a cylinder of circular cross section, the cylinder being rotatable about its axis of revolution, and of length greater than or equal to the width of the support strip 30. This allows the strip of support 30 take good support on the outer surface of the cylinder 20.

Le dévidoir peut être constitué du même matériau que le boitier 10.The reel may be made of the same material as the housing 10.

Comme cela est plus particulièrement visible à la figure 7, ledit dévidoir 20 pourra présenter une surface d'enroulement 220, destiné à accueillir lesdits cils, ladite surface d'enroulement étant munie d'une courbure, ici concave, sensiblement identique à la courbure des cils. Ladite surface d'enroulement pourra en variante être convexe. On évite de la sorte un écrasement des cils dans le dévidoir.As this is particularly visible in the figure 7 , said reel 20 may have a winding surface 220 for accommodating said eyelashes, said winding surface being provided with a curvature, here concave, substantially identical to the curvature of the eyelashes. Said winding surface may alternatively be convex. This avoids crushing the eyelashes in the reel.

Si l'on se reporte de nouveau à la figure 2, on constate que le mécanisme de déplacement de la bande de support 30 comprend en outre une bobine 21, montée rotative par rapport au boitier 10. La bobine 21 se trouve en aval par rapport à l'ouverture de distribution 11 sur le trajet de la bande.If we go back to the figure 2 , it is found that the mechanism of displacement of the support strip 30 further comprises a coil 21, rotatably mounted relative to the housing 10. The coil 21 is downstream relative to the distribution opening 11 in the path of the bandaged.

La deuxième extrémité longitudinale de la bande de support 30 non fixée au dévidoir est fixée à la bobine 21, et une partie 33 de la bande, de laquelle les unités de cils ont été prélevées, est enroulée autour de la bobine.The second longitudinal end of the support strip 30 not attached to the reel is attached to the reel 21, and a portion 33 of the web, from which the eyelash units have been removed, is wrapped around the reel.

De façon analogue au dévidoir 20, la bobine 21 prend la forme d'un cylindre de section transversale circulaire, le cylindre étant mobile en rotation autour de son axe de révolution, et de longueur supérieure ou égale à la largeur de la bande de support 30. Ceci permet que la bande de support 30 prenne bien appui sur la surface externe de la bobine 21.In a similar manner to the reel 20, the reel 21 takes the form of a cylinder of circular cross section, the cylinder being rotatable about its axis of revolution, and of length greater than or equal to the width of the support strip 30 This allows the support strip 30 to bear firmly on the outer surface of the coil 21.

La bobine 21 peut être constituée du même matériau que le boitier 10.The coil 21 may be made of the same material as the housing 10.

Le dévidoir 20 et/ou la bobine 21 pourront comprendre des flasques latéraux permettant guider ladite bande 30.The reel 20 and / or the reel 21 may comprise lateral flanges for guiding said strip 30.

Une partie intermédiaire 32 de la bande de support 30, située entre la partie 31 enroulée autour du dévidoir 20, et la partie 33 enroulée autour de la bobine 21, passe à proximité de l'ouverture de distribution 11.An intermediate portion 32 of the support strip 30, located between the portion 31 wound around the reel 20, and the portion 33 wound around the reel 21, passes close to the dispensing opening 11.

Cette partie 32 prend appui sur un élément de renvoi 24, ici sous la forme d'une extrémité d'une nervure 25 de guidage de ladite bande 30. Cet élément de renvoi 24 est disposé à proximité de l'ouverture de distribution 11, c'est-à-dire à une distance de l'ouverture de distribution inférieure à la largeur des unités 40 de cils.This portion 32 is supported on a deflection element 24, here in the form of an end of a guide rib 25 of said strip 30. This deflection element 24 is disposed near the dispensing opening 11, c that is, at a distance from the dispensing opening less than the width of the eyelash units 40.

La bande de support 30 est tendue par l'élément de renvoi, et le contourne en changeant de direction, dans son trajet entre le dévidoir 20 et la bobine 21.The support strip 30 is stretched by the deflection element and bypasses it by changing direction in its path between the reel 20 and the reel 21.

Par ailleurs, afin de faciliter la manipulation de l'unité 40 de cils aux fins de son encollage et de sa pose, les bords de l'ouverture de distribution 11 aménagée dans le boitier 10 présentent de préférence une forme de pince, comme cela sera développé plus bas.Moreover, in order to facilitate the handling of the eyelash unit 40 for the purposes of its gluing and its laying, the edges of the dispensing opening 11 arranged in the housing 10 preferably have a form of clamp, as will be developed below.

En outre, la position du dévidoir 20 par rapport à l'ouverture de distribution 11 peut de façon non limitative être définie de sorte que la longueur de bande de support 30 entre le dévidoir 20 et l'ouverture de distribution 11 comporte suffisamment d'unités de cils 40 pour couvrir un oeil ou les deux yeux, et ce, afin que les unités de cils 40 posées sur un même oeil, ou les deux, présentent une courbure identique.In addition, the position of the reel 20 with respect to the dispensing aperture 11 may be non-limitatively defined such that the length of the support strip 30 between the reel 20 and the dispensing aperture 11 has sufficient units. eyelashes 40 to cover one eye or both eyes, so that the units of eyelashes 40 placed on the same eye, or both, have an identical curvature.

A titre d'exemple non limitatif, on considère les paramètres suivants :

  • sur la bande de support 30, il existe un espacement de 5 mm entre deux unités de cils 40 consécutives,
  • les unités de cils 40 présentent une largeur I de 5 mm, de sorte qu'il faut trois unités de cils artificiels pour couvrir une paupière,
  • les cils présentent une longueur L égale à 10 mm.
By way of non-limiting example, the following parameters are considered:
  • on the support strip 30 there is a spacing of 5 mm between two consecutive eyelash units 40,
  • the eyelash units 40 have a width I of 5 mm, so that three units of artificial eyelashes are required to cover an eyelid,
  • the eyelashes have a length L equal to 10 mm.

En fonctionnement, la partie de la bande de support 30 située en aval de l'élément de renvoi 24 ne supporte plus d'unités de cils car celles-ci ont été prélevées par l'ouverture de distribution. Cette partie de bande de support est acheminée jusqu'à la bobine 33.In operation, the portion of the support strip 30 located downstream of the deflection member 24 no longer supports eyelash units because they were removed by the dispensing aperture. This portion of the support strip is conveyed to the reel 33.

Ici, le mécanisme de déplacement de la bande de support 30 comprend en outre un moyen d'actionnement 23 en rotation de la bobine 21, permettant l'enroulement de la bande de support 30 autour de la bobine 21, l'enroulement de la bande de support 30 autour de la bobine 21 provoquant, comme déjà dit, le déplacement de la bande de support 30 en vue de la distribution des cils 41.Here, the mechanism of displacement of the support strip 30 further comprises an actuating means 23 for rotating the coil 21, allowing the winding of the support strip 30 around the coil 21, the winding of the strip of support 30 around the coil 21 causing, as already said, the displacement of the support band 30 for the distribution of the eyelashes 41.

Avantageusement, le boîtier 10 comprend une ouverture 12 et le moyen d'actionnement 23 comprend une molette 23 manoeuvrable à travers l'ouverture 12.Advantageously, the housing 10 comprises an opening 12 and the actuating means 23 comprises a wheel 23 operable through the opening 12.

La molette 23 peut comprendre une roue moleté qui dépasse du boîtier 10 par l'ouverture 12. La bobine 21 est, par exemple, coaxiale à et solidaire de ladite molette 23. On peut de la sorte faire avancer la bande 30 par l'actionnement de la molette en rotation.The wheel 23 may comprise a knurled wheel which protrudes from the housing 10 through the opening 12. The coil 21 is, for example, coaxial with and integral with said wheel 23. It is thus possible to advance the belt 30 by actuation rotating wheel.

Plus précisément, la rotation de la molette 23 provoque la rotation de la bobine 21, et l'enroulement de la bande de support 30 autour de la bobine. Cet enroulement provoque le déplacement de la partie de bande 30 de support s'étendant entre le dévidoir 20 et la bobine 21, et par conséquent l'acheminement des unités de cils 40 vers l'ouverture de distribution, accompagné du phénomène de décollement des cils au niveau de l'ouverture de distribution décrit ci-avant. Ce déplacement provoque le déroulement de la bande de support du dévidoir 20.More specifically, the rotation of the wheel 23 causes the rotation of the coil 21, and the winding of the support strip 30 around the coil. This winding causes the portion of the support strip 30 extending between the reel 20 and the reel 21 to move, and consequently the lash units 40 to be moved towards the dispensing aperture, accompanied by the phenomenon of detachment of the eyelashes. at the level of the dispensing aperture described above. This movement causes the unwinding of the support strip of the reel 20.

On peut en outre prévoir un mécanisme de blocage de la molette 23 dans un sens de rotation, de sorte que l'utilisateur ne puisse l'entrainer en rotation dans le sens de déroulement de la bobine 21.In addition, it is possible to provide a locking mechanism for the wheel 23 in a direction of rotation, so that the user can not drive it in rotation in the unwinding direction of the coil 21.

A ce sujet, comme illustré figure 4, où la bande 30 n'a pas été illustrée, le dispositif conforme à l'invention pourra comprendre une platine amovible 102 par rapport au boîtier 10, ladite platine 102 étant configurée pour empêcher le déplacement de la bande 30 dans une direction opposée à celle du déplacement de la bande permettant une sortie des cils.On this subject, as illustrated figure 4 , where the strip 30 has not been illustrated, the device according to the invention may comprise a removable plate 102 relative to the housing 10, said plate 102 being configured to prevent movement of the strip 30 in a direction opposite to that displacement of the band allowing exit of the eyelashes.

Ladite platine 102 est disposée à l'intérieur du boîtier. Elle est positionnée par rapport à celui-ci, par exemple, à l'aide d'un ou plusieurs pions 104, solidaire du boîtier 10, par exemple issu de matière, coopérant avec des lumières 107 et/ou logement 109 de ladite platine 102.Said platen 102 is disposed inside the housing. It is positioned relative thereto, for example, using one or more pins 104, integral with the housing 10, for example made of material, cooperating with the lights 107 and / or housing 109 of said plate 102 .

Ledit dispositif pourra en outre comprendre un pallier rotatif 106 de guidage de la bande. Ledit pallier 106 est libre en rotation, par exemple, autour d'un doigt solidaire, notamment issu de moulage, de ladite platine 102. Ledit doigt de la platine 102 pourra lui-même être creux pour définir l'un des logements 109 coopérant avec l'un des pions de positionnement 104.Said device may further comprise a rotary bearing 106 for guiding the strip. Said bearing 106 is free in rotation, for example, around a fixed finger, in particular resulting from molding, of said plate 102. Said finger of the plate 102 may itself be hollow to define one of the housing 109 cooperating with one of the positioning pins 104.

Ladite platine présente ici une zone centrale 110 munie de ladite lumière 107 de positionnement. De cette zone centrale 110 est issu latéralement un bras flexible 112 jouant un rôle de cliquet anti-retour par coopération avec une roue dentée 114 coaxiale et solidaire de la bobine 21, ceci permettant à la platine d'assurer la fonction évoquée plus haut de blocage du déplacement de la bande 30 dans une direction non-désirée.Said platen here has a central zone 110 provided with said positioning light 107. From this central zone 110 comes laterally a flexible arm 112 acting as a non-return ratchet by cooperation with a toothed wheel 114 coaxial and secured to the coil 21, this allowing the plate to provide the function mentioned above locking moving the web 30 in an undesired direction.

Comme déjà indiqué des parois 120, 122 du boitier se trouvant de part et d'autre de l'ouverture de distribution 11 pourront être configurées pour permettre un serrage l'une contre l'autre à la manière d'une pince, ceci dans le but de maintenir un ou plusieurs desdits cils 41 entre lesdites parois 120, 122.As already indicated walls 120, 122 of the housing located on either side of the dispensing opening 11 can be configured to allow clamping against one another in the manner of a clamp, this in the aim of maintaining one or more of said eyelashes 41 between said walls 120, 122.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, l'une 120 desdites parois est fixe et l'autre 122, dite branche mobile de la pince, est articulée, notamment en pivotement autour d'un axe 125, par rapport au reste du boîtier 10. Autrement dit, pour bloquer les cils 41, l'utilisateur actionne la branche mobile 122 pour venir coincer les cils contre la paroi fixe 120. Ladite branche mobile 122 pourra comprendre à son extrémité distale une lèvre 123 permettant un contact plan contre plan sur la paroi fixe 120 de sorte à améliorer le maintien des cils 41.According to one aspect of the invention, one 120 of said walls is fixed and the other 122, said movable branch of the clamp, is articulated, in particular pivotally about an axis 125, relative to the rest of the housing 10. In other words, to block the eyelashes 41, the user activates the movable arm 122 to wedge the eyelashes against the fixed wall 120. Said movable arm 122 may comprise at its distal end a lip 123 allowing a planar contact against the wall fixed 120 so as to improve the maintenance of the eyelashes 41.

Pour permettre l'articulation de la branche mobile 122, le dispositif comprend, par exemple, un axe d'articulation solidaire du boîtier. Ledit axe d'articulation comprend ici l'un des pions 104 servant également au positionnement de ladite platine 102.
