Description

La présente invention concerne les applicateurs pour appliquer un produit cosmétique, de maquillage ou de soin, sur les cils et/ou les sourcils.The present invention relates to applicators for applying a cosmetic, make-up or care product to the eyelashes and/or the eyebrows.

L'invention concerne plus particulièrement les applicateurs comportant un organe d'application réalisé par moulage de matière, notamment thermoplastique, disposé à l'extrémité d'une tige reliée à l'autre extrémité à un organe de préhension pouvant constituer également un organe de fermeture d'un récipient contenant le produit à appliquer.The invention relates more particularly to applicators comprising an applicator member produced by molding material, in particular thermoplastic, arranged at the end of a rod connected at the other end to a gripping member which can also constitute a closing member. a container containing the product to be applied.

Les demandes FR 2 968 519 et FR 2 983 689 divulguent des applicateurs comportant une âme et des picots portés par l'âme.Requests FR 2 968 519 And FR 2 983 689 disclose applicators comprising a core and spikes carried by the core.

Il existe un besoin pour améliorer encore les performances de tels applicateurs, notamment en termes de confort à l'application, de charge et de séparation des cils.There is a need to further improve the performance of such applicators, in particular in terms of comfort on application, load and separation of the eyelashes.

L'invention concerne un applicateur selon la revendication 1. Des caractéristiques préférées de l'invention sont exposées dans les revendications dépendantes.The invention relates to an applicator according to claim 1. Preferred features of the invention are set out in the dependent claims.

L'invention a pour objet, selon l'un de ses aspects, un applicateur pour appliquer un produit sur les cils et/ou les sourcils, comportant un organe d'application réalisé par moulage de matière, cet organe d'application comportant :

  • une âme, s'étendant selon un axe longitudinal,
  • des picots portés par l'âme, présentant une section transversale polygonale convexe, avec au moins six côtés, dont deux côtés opposés orientés sensiblement perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal de l'âme.
The subject of the invention, according to one of its aspects, is an applicator for applying a product to the eyelashes and/or the eyebrows, comprising an applicator member produced by molding material, this applicator member comprising:
  • a core, extending along a longitudinal axis,
  • barbs carried by the core, having a convex polygonal cross section, with at least six sides, including two opposite sides oriented substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the core.

La section transversale des picots est de préférence hexagonale, et de préférence encore hexagonale régulière.The cross section of the spikes is preferably hexagonal, and more preferably regular hexagonal.

Les picots peuvent avantageusement présenter une section transversale hexagonale sur plus de la moitié de leur hauteur, mieux sur sensiblement toute leur hauteur.The spikes can advantageously have a hexagonal cross-section over more than half their height, better still over substantially their entire height.

Les picots peuvent être tronqués à leur sommet.The pimples may be truncated at their top.

L'utilisation dans l'invention de picots de section transversale polygonale orientée de façon à avoir des côtés sensiblement perpendiculaires à l'axe longitudinal de l'âme, présente l'avantage d'offrir une surface de contact avec les cils plus grande, car les cils engagés entre les picots dans une direction transversale à l'axe longitudinal de l'âme peuvent contacter ces côtés qui leurs sont sensiblement parallèles. De préférence, les picots présentent des arêtes latérales opposées qui sont situées dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal de l'âme. Ces arêtes latérales tendent à faciliter l'engagement des cils entre les picots et peuvent améliorer l'action de peignage exercée par l'organe d'application sur les cils.The use in the invention of spikes of polygonal cross-section oriented so as to have sides substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the core, has the advantage of offering a larger contact surface with the eyelashes, because the eyelashes engaged between the barbs in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the core can contact these sides which are substantially parallel to them. Preferably, the barbs have opposite lateral edges which are located in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the core. These side ridges tend to facilitate lash engagement between the spikes and can improve the combing action exerted by the applicator member on the eyelashes.

De préférence, les picots sont répartis sur l'âme selon des alignements de picots s'étendant dans le sens longitudinal de l'âme.Preferably, the spikes are distributed over the core according to rows of spikes extending in the longitudinal direction of the core.

Lorsque l'applicateur est observé de côté, on a une alternance de couronnes des picots s'étendant circonférentiellement, avec un nombre de picots différent d'une couronne à l'autre. On a de préférence une alternance de couronnes dans le sens longitudinal avec des couronnes de n1 picots qui alternent avec des couronnes de n2 picots, avec n2 > n1, et de préférence n2 = 2 n1. Les picots d'une couronne donnée, notamment celle comportant le nombre n1 de picots sont situés entre ceux de la couronne suivante comportant n2 picots, quand l'organe d'application est observé selon son axe.When the applicator is observed from the side, there is an alternation of crowns of barbs extending circumferentially, with a different number of barbs from one crown to another. There is preferably an alternation of rings in the longitudinal direction with rings of n 1 pins which alternate with rings of n 2 pins, with n 2 >n 1 , and preferably n 2 =2 n 1 . The spikes of a given crown, in particular that comprising the number n 1 of spikes, are located between those of the following crown comprising n 2 spikes, when the applicator member is observed along its axis.

Les picots peuvent être disposés par groupes de trois alignements dans le sens longitudinal, avec un groupe par face de l'âme.The pins can be arranged in groups of three alignments in the longitudinal direction, with one group per face of the core.

Un tel organe d'application présente une bonne capacité à peigner les cils et à les séparer en utilisant les groupes d'alignements de picots. Les espaces formés entre les couronnes de picots peuvent contenir des réserves de produit, utiles pour charger les cils. L'orientation des picots permet ensuite de bien les séparer.Such an applicator member has a good ability to comb the eyelashes and to separate them using the alignment groups of spikes. The spaces formed between the crowns of spikes can contain product reserves, useful for loading the eyelashes. The orientation of the pins then makes it possible to separate them well.

Par « côtés orientés sensiblement perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal de l'âme », il faut comprendre que les côtés font avec l'axe longitudinal de l'âme un angle de 90° ± 10°.By “sides oriented substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the core”, it should be understood that the sides form an angle of 90° ± 10° with the longitudinal axis of the core.

De préférence, chaque groupe d'alignements de picots comporte trois alignements de picots, comme mentionné ci-dessus.Preferably, each group of rows of pins has three rows of pins, as mentioned above.

Chaque groupe d'alignements de picots comporte de préférence deux alignements de picots avec des picots de mêmes rangs ayant une même hauteur, au moins pour une partie des picots de ces alignements.Each group of rows of pins preferably comprises two rows of pins with pins of the same rows having the same height, at least for some of the pins of these rows.

Le rang d'un picot est compté à partir du premier picot, le plus proche, au sein d'un alignement de picots, de l'extrémité distale de l'organe d'application.The rank of a spike is counted from the first spike, the closest, within an alignment of spikes, to the distal end of the applicator member.

Au moins un groupe d'alignements de picots, mieux chaque groupe, peut comporter deux alignements de picots identiques. Les alignements de picots peuvent être images l'un de l'autre par une rotation autour de l'axe longitudinal de l'âme.At least one group of rows of pins, better still each group, can comprise two rows of identical pins. The alignments of pins can be images of each other by a rotation around the longitudinal axis of the core.

Chaque alignement de picots peut présenter des picots de même hauteur, pour une plage de valeurs de rangs au sein de cet alignement. Au sein d'un groupe d'alignements de picots, le ratio hmax/hmin entre le picot le plus haut et le plus court de même rang d'un alignement différent, peut être compris entre 1 et 1,5, mieux 1 et 1,35. La surface enveloppe définie par les extrémités libres des picots peut présenter, sur au moins une portion de la longueur de l'organe d'application, des formes diverses, notamment conique, cylindrique ou cylindroconique, de section circulaire ou non, ogivale, ovoïde, en forme de cacahouète, de poisson, de vrille, ...Each row of pins can have pins of the same height, for a range of rank values within this row. Within a group of rows of pins, the h max /h min ratio between the highest and the shortest pin of the same rank of a different row, can be between 1 and 1.5, better still 1 and 1.35. The envelope surface defined by the free ends of the spikes may have, over at least a portion of the length of the applicator member, various shapes, in particular conical, cylindrical or cylindroconical, of circular section or not, ogival, ovoid, in the shape of a peanut, a fish, a tendril, ...

L'âme peut être creuse ou pleine.The core can be hollow or solid.

De préférence, les picots s'étendent radialement.Preferably, the spikes extend radially.

Le nombre de picots portés par l'âme peut être supérieur ou égal à 300, avec par exemple entre 10 et 30 picots par alignement de picots, mieux entre 15 et 20 picots.The number of pins carried by the core can be greater than or equal to 300, with for example between 10 and 30 pins per row of pins, better still between 15 and 20 pins.

L'écart entre les axes des picots, mesuré au sein d'un même alignement, peut être compris entre 1,3 et 1,6 mm, mieux entre 1,4 et 1,5 mm. L'écart entre deux couronnes successives, mesuré entre les plans contenant les axes des picots, perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal de l'âme, peut être compris entre 0,6 et 0,9 mm, mieux entre 0,7 et 0,8 mm. L'écart angulaire β entre deux groupes adjacents d'alignements de picots peut être compris entre 25° et 35°, et l'écart angulaire α entre deux alignements de picots au sein d'un groupe d'alignements de picots peut être compris entre 12,5 et 17,5°. L'écart angulaire est mesuré entre les plans radiaux qui contiennent les sommets des picots des alignements concernés. Si les sommets des picots d'un même alignement sont non coplanaires, par exemple car disposé légèrement en quinconce, le plan qui est pris comme référence pour mesurer l'écart angulaire est un plan médian longitudinal pour cet alignement.The difference between the axes of the pins, measured within the same alignment, can be between 1.3 and 1.6 mm, better still between 1.4 and 1.5 mm. The gap between two successive crowns, measured between the planes containing the axes of the pins, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the core, can be between 0.6 and 0.9 mm, better still between 0.7 and 0, 8mm. The angular difference β between two adjacent groups of rows of pins can be between 25° and 35°, and the angular difference α between two rows of pins within a group of rows of pins can be between 12.5 and 17.5°. The angular difference is measured between the radial planes which contain the vertices of the pins of the alignments concerned. If the tops of the pins of the same alignment are non-coplanar, for example because arranged slightly staggered, the plane which is taken as a reference to measure the angular difference is a longitudinal median plane for this alignment.

The latter comprises a body 7 provided on the top with a threaded neck 5, on which the gripping member 9 can be screwed to close the container 2 in a sealed manner. Alternatively, the fixing of the applicator 3 on the container 2 can be done otherwise.

Le col 5 peut accueillir, comme illustré, un organe d'essorage 6 qui est par exemple rapporté dans le col 5. Cet organe d'essorage 6 comporte par exemple une lèvre définissant un orifice d'essorage de diamètre adapté à celui de la tige 8. L'organe d'essorage 6 peut être de tout type, rapporté sur le récipient 2 ou moulé avec celui-ci. L'organe d'essorage 6 peut encore être réglable. Le col 5 du récipient 2 peut être rapporté, en variante.The neck 5 can accommodate, as shown, a wiping member 6 which is for example attached to the neck 5. This wiping member 6 comprises for example a lip defining a wiper orifice with a diameter adapted to that of the rod 8. The wiper member 6 can be of any type, attached to the container 2 or molded therewith. Wiping member 6 can still be adjustable. The neck 5 of the container 2 can be attached, as a variant.

Dans l'exemple illustré, la tige 8 est d'axe longitudinal Y rectiligne, mais on ne sort pas du cadre de la présente invention lorsque la tige 8 est non rectiligne.In the example illustrated, the rod 8 has a rectilinear longitudinal axis Y, but this does not depart from the scope of the present invention when the rod 8 is not rectilinear.

La tige 8 peut comporter, comme illustré, un rétreint annulaire 20 qui vient se positionner en regard de la lèvre de l'organe d'essorage 6 lorsque l'applicateur 3 est fixé sur le récipient 2.The rod 8 may comprise, as shown, an annular constriction 20 which is positioned opposite the lip of the wiping member 6 when the applicator 3 is fixed on the container 2.

Le produit P est destiné à l'application sur les cils et/ou les sourcils. Il peut comporter de l'oxyde de fer, entre autres pigments, et un solvant aqueux ou organique, selon les formulations.The product P is intended for application to the eyelashes and/or the eyebrows. It may include iron oxide, among other pigments, and an aqueous or organic solvent, depending on the formulations.

On a représenté isolément l'organe d'application 10 aux figures 2 à 9. Celui-ci comporte une âme 11 d'axe longitudinal X, portant des éléments d'application 12 constitués par des picots.The applicator member 10 has been shown in isolation figures 2 to 9 . This comprises a core 11 with a longitudinal axis X, carrying application elements 12 constituted by spikes.

L'âme 11 est prolongée par un embout 13 qui vient dans le prolongement de la tige 8.The core 11 is extended by a tip 13 which comes in the extension of the rod 8.

Dans l'exemple considéré, l'âme 11 est creuse, et la tige 8 peut comporter un axe en bout qui est engagé dans l'âme 11 jusqu'à son extrémité distale. Cela permet de rigidifier l'âme, notamment lorsque l'organe d'application 10 est réalisé dans une matière particulièrement souple.In the example considered, the core 11 is hollow, and the stem 8 may comprise an end pin which is engaged in the core 11 as far as its distal end. This makes it possible to stiffen the core, in particular when the applicator member 10 is made of a particularly flexible material.

La longueur L de l'organe d'application 10 est par exemple comprise entre 30 et 35 mm. Le diamètre extérieur D de l'âme 11 est par exemple compris entre 2,5 et 3 mm, pour un diamètre intérieur d compris par exemple entre 1,4 et 1,6 mm.The length L of the applicator member 10 is for example between 30 and 35 mm. The outer diameter D of the core 11 is for example between 2.5 and 3 mm, for an inner diameter d of for example between 1.4 and 1.6 mm.

Conformément à l'invention, les picots 12 sont de section transversale hexagonale, avec des côtés opposés 12a orientés sensiblement perpendiculairement à l'axe X, comme on peut le voir notamment sur la figure 3A. La section transversale du picot est une coupe dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe d'élongation de ce picot.In accordance with the invention, the pins 12 are of hexagonal cross-section, with opposite sides 12a oriented substantially perpendicular to the axis X, as can be seen in particular on the Figure 3A . The cross section of the pimple is a section in a plane perpendicular to the elongation axis of this pimple.

Ainsi, en section transversale, les côtés 12a peuvent être contenus chacun dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe X.Thus, in cross section, the sides 12a can each be contained in a plane perpendicular to the axis X.

De préférence, la section est hexagonale régulière, et chaque picot 12 présente des arêtes latérales 12b situées dans un plan médian M pour la dent 12, perpendiculaire à l'axe X.Preferably, the section is regular hexagonal, and each pin 12 has side edges 12b located in a median plane M for tooth 12, perpendicular to axis X.

Lorsqu'un cil C est engagé entre les picots 12, comme illustré, il peut contacter un côté 12a sur sensiblement toute la longueur de ce côté, et la surface de contact entre la dent et le cil est ainsi relativement importante, ce qui peut améliorer le dépôt et l'action de lissage du produit à la surface du cil. De par la disposition des arêtes 12b, les côtés 12c adjacents aux arêtes 12b peuvent dévier les cils vers les espaces entre les picots 12, ce qui facilite la pénétration des cils entre les picots 12.When an eyelash C is engaged between the pins 12, as illustrated, it can contact a side 12a over substantially the entire length of this side, and the contact surface between the tooth and the eyelash is thus relatively large, which can improve the deposition and smoothing action of the product on the surface of the eyelash. Due to the arrangement of the ridges 12b, the sides 12c adjacent to the ridges 12b can deviate the eyelashes towards the spaces between the spikes 12, which facilitates the penetration of the eyelashes between the spikes 12.

Les picots 12 peuvent être, comme illustré notamment aux figures 5 et 11, organisés selon des alignements de picots dans le sens longitudinal, regroupés par groupes 30 de trois, comme visible à la figure 5.The pins 12 can be, as illustrated in particular in figure 5 And 11 , organized according to alignments of pins in the longitudinal direction, grouped in groups 30 of three, as visible in the figure 5 .

Chaque groupe 30 comporte deux alignements de picots 31 d'un premier type A et un alignement de picots 32 d'un second type B.Each group 30 comprises two alignments of pins 31 of a first type A and an alignment of pins 32 of a second type B.

L'écart angulaire α entre deux alignements de picots au sein d'un groupe 30, mesuré entre les plans contenant les axes des picots, orientés radialement, est inférieur à l'écart angulaire β entre deux groupes 30 adjacents, mesuré entre les plans contenant les axes des picots des alignements les plus proches l'un de l'autre, appartenant à ces deux groupes.The angular difference α between two alignments of pins within a group 30, measured between the planes containing the axes of the pins, oriented radially, is less than the angular difference β between two adjacent groups 30, measured between the planes containing the axes of the pins of the alignments closest to each other, belonging to these two groups.

On a par exemple α = 15° et β = 30°.We have for example α = 15° and β = 30°.

Au sein d'un alignement de picots 31 ou 32, selon le rang du picot, la hauteur du picot peut varier.Within an alignment of pins 31 or 32, depending on the rank of the pin, the height of the pin can vary.

A titre d'exemple, on a indiqué dans le tableau de la figure 10 les hauteurs h et H des picots pour les alignements 31 et 32 respectivement de types A et B, à partir du premier picot situé du côté de l'extrémité distale de l'organe d'application. Les valeurs sont exprimées en mm.By way of example, we have indicated in the table of the figure 10 the heights h and H of the spikes for alignments 31 and 32 respectively of types A and B, from the first spike located on the side of the distal end of the applicator member. The values are expressed in mm.

L'écart e entre les axes des picots, au sein d'un alignement, peut être compris entre 1,3 et 1,6 mm, étant par exemple de 1,5 mm environ.The difference e between the axes of the pins, within an alignment, can be between 1.3 and 1.6 mm, being for example approximately 1.5 mm.

Les picots 12 forment, lorsque l'organe d'application 10 est observé de côté comme sur les figures 6 et 7, des couronnes 40 et 41 s'étendant dans le sens circonférentiel autour de l'axe longitudinal X de l'âme 11.The spikes 12 form, when the applicator member 10 is observed from the side as on the figures 6 and 7 , crowns 40 and 41 extending in the circumferential direction around the longitudinal axis X of the core 11.

Le nombre de picots par couronne prend des valeurs plus élevées pour les couronnes 40, par exemple 12 picots, qui alternent avec des valeurs plus faibles, par exemple 6 picots, pour les couronnes 41.The number of pins per crown takes higher values for crowns 40, for example 12 pins, which alternate with lower values, for example 6 pins, for crowns 41.

L'âme 11 peut présenter des faces longitudinales planes.Core 11 may have flat longitudinal faces.

L'organe d'application est avantageusement réalisé dans une matière thermoplastique, notamment élastomère, par exemple du SEBS, un silicone, du latex, du butyle, de l'EPDM, un nitrile, un élastomère thermoplastique, un élastomère de polyester, de polyamide, de polyéthylène ou de vinyle, une polyoléfine telle que du PE ou PP, du PVC, de l'EVA, du PS, du PET, du POM, du PA ou du PMMA. On peut notamment utiliser les matériaux connus sous les marques Hytrel®, Cariflex®, Alixine®, Santoprène®, Pebax®, cette liste n'étant pas limitative.The applicator member is advantageously made of a thermoplastic material, in particular an elastomer, for example SEBS, a silicone, latex, butyl, EPDM, a nitrile, a thermoplastic elastomer, a polyester or polyamide elastomer , polyethylene or vinyl, a polyolefin such as PE or PP, PVC, EVA, PS, PET, POM, PA or PMMA. The materials known under the Hytrel ® , Cariflex ® , Alixine ® , Santoprene ® , Pebax ® brands can in particular be used, this list not being exhaustive.

Les picots 12 peuvent comporter un matériau aux propriétés bactériostatiques et/ou favorisant le glissement et/ou magnétique.The spikes 12 may comprise a material with bacteriostatic and/or sliding and/or magnetic properties.

L'applicateur 3 peut être soumis à des vibrations lors de l'utilisation, et/ou être chauffant, c'est-à-dire comporter un élément chauffant, et/ou être rotatif. Il est aussi possible que l'organe d'application 10 soit vibrant et chauffant ou uniquement vibrant ou uniquement chauffant ou uniquement rotatif. Dans le cas où l'applicateur est rotatif, l'organe de préhension 9 peut loger un moteur électrique pour entraîner la tige en rotation.The applicator 3 can be subjected to vibrations during use, and/or be heated, that is to say include a heating element, and/or be rotatable. It is also possible for the applicator member 10 to be vibrating and heating or only vibrating or only heating or only rotating. In the case where the applicator is rotatable, the gripping member 9 can house an electric motor to drive the rod in rotation.

Les picots 12 peuvent être agencés selon d'autres dispositions de picots que ceux illustrée sur les figures.The pins 12 can be arranged according to other pin arrangements than those illustrated in the figures.

L'organe d'application 10 peut ne comporter que des picots de section transversale hexagonale ou, en variante, comporter à la fois des picots de section transversale hexagonale et des picots de section transversale autre qu'hexagonale, par exemple non polygonale, notamment circulaire.The applicator member 10 may comprise only studs of hexagonal cross-section or, as a variant, comprise both studs of hexagonal cross-section and studs of cross-section other than hexagonal, for example non-polygonal, in particular circular .

La section polygonale des picots 12 peut être non régulière. De préférence, dans ce cas, les côtés 12a sont plus grands que les autres côtés, ce qui permet d'accroître la surface de contact avec les cils.The polygonal section of the pins 12 may be irregular. Preferably, in this case, the sides 12a are larger than the other sides, which makes it possible to increase the contact surface with the eyelashes.

L'expression « comportant un » doit être comprise comme étant synonyme de « comportant au moins un ».The expression "comprising a" must be understood as being synonymous with "comprising at least one".
