Definitions

  • the invention relates to an applicator for a cosmetic product and an associated applicator assembly.
  • Applicator assemblies are known for a cosmetic product, in particular for a cosmetic product intended to be applied to the eyelashes such as mascara, comprising a container containing the cosmetic product and an applicator adapted to be removably attached to the container.
  • the container generally comprises a body, the body comprising walls delimiting a reservoir in which the cosmetic product is contained, and a neck defining an opening through which the cosmetic product can be extracted.
  • the applicator assembly generally includes a stopper adapted to be attached to the neck, a rod extending from the stopper, and an applicator attached to a free end of the rod.
  • the applicator includes a core and a plurality of protrusions or bristles extending from the core.
  • the rod and the applicator extend inside the reservoir.
  • the applicator is immersed in the cosmetic product contained in the reservoir.
  • the user detaches the stopper from the neck and extracts the applicator from the container.
  • the container generally comprises a wringer, fixed inside the neck.
  • the applicator slides inside the wringer.
  • the wringer scrapes the excess cosmetic product off the rod and the applicator.
  • the wiper thus makes it possible to adjust the quantity of product present on the applicator and avoids excessive application of cosmetic product to the eyelashes.
  • the wringer limits, in particular, the quantity of product present on the protuberances.
  • Two parameters interact for this purpose.
  • the quantity of product desired on the protuberances at the outlet of the wiper results from the compromise between the internal diameter of the wiper and the radial extension of the protuberances.
  • zones having protuberances of smaller radial extension promote the loading of the applicator while the zones having protuberances of longer radial extension promote combing of the eyelashes for a given wringer.
  • the document FR 2 983 690 discloses an applicator for combing and / or applying a product to the eyelashes and / or the eyebrows, comprising a molded applicator member, comprising an elongated core extending along a longitudinal axis, at least three rows of teeth connecting to the 'core, the rows extending along the longitudinal axis of the core, including at least one row of large teeth and at least one row of small teeth, rows of teeth possibly being arranged according to at least a group of closely spaced rows, the implantation of the rows of teeth and / or of the groups of closely spaced rows on the core being substantially constant around the core, over at least a portion of the length of the applicator member and , in the case where the applicator member comprises at least one group of closely spaced rows, the teeth of the cluster of closely spaced rows being mutually parallel within the group.
  • An aim of the present invention is to provide an applicator which allows strong overlapping of the load zones and the combing zones.
  • the invention relates to an applicator for a cosmetic product comprising a core having a first end, called the proximal end, and a second free end, called the distal end, and a plurality of protuberances projecting from the core.
  • said protuberances are molded with the core and are arranged in a plurality of rows extending in the direction of extension of the core, the protrusions of at least one of said rows, called the first row, decreasing progressively in length from said distal end towards a central part of the applicator and then gradually increasing in length from said central part towards said proximal end, while an opposite variation in the length of the protuberances occurs in each of the two rows, called second rows , adjacent to said first row or rows.
  • the proposed applicator has the advantage of having discretely distributed load zones, located staggered, which alternate with combing zones, to simultaneously allow the eyelashes to be loaded with cosmetic product, and their combing.
  • This applicator is all the more advantageous in that it allows this simultaneity of functions over its entire periphery, on the one hand, and over its entire length, on the other hand.
  • the invention also relates to an applicator assembly for a cosmetic product, comprising a container comprising a body forming a reservoir intended to contain the cosmetic product, and an applicator as described above, adapted to be attached to the container, so that the applicator is housed inside the reservoir.
  • the invention relates to an applicator 10 for a cosmetic product
  • a core 12 having a first end, called the proximal end 13 capable of being fixed to an applicator rod by a sleeve 14 extending said core 12, and a second free end, called the distal end 16.
  • Said sleeve 14 allows the attachment of the applicator 10.
  • Applicator 10 further comprises a plurality of protrusions 30 which project from core 12.
  • the protuberances 30 are molded with the core 12.
  • the protuberances 30 can be made from material with the core 12 or else molded onto the core 12.
  • the protrusions 30 are arranged in a plurality of rows R1-R12 extending in the direction of extension of the core 12.
  • the rows R1-R12 are all parallel to an axis of the core 12, in particular its axis d 'longitudinal extension referenced X on the figure 1 .
  • the protuberances 30 of at least one of said rows gradually decrease in length from said distal end 16 towards a central part 15 of the applicator 12 then gradually increase in length from said central part 15 towards said proximal end 13
  • the length of the protuberances 30 may change linearly, or according to other variation profiles, from one protuberance 30 to another, for example by successive steps of at least two protuberances 30 of the same length.
  • the figure 1 gives an overall view of the alternation between the first rows R1, R3, R5, R7, R9, R11 and the second rows R2, R4, R6, R8, R10, R12 all around the core 12.
  • the rows R1- R12 are marked on the figure 4 which is, as a reminder, a top view of the figure 1 .
  • the applicator exclusively comprises rows of the first and of the second type alternating with one another.
  • the rows R1-R12 are spaced radially around the periphery of the core 12 at a constant angular distance. This angular distance can vary from one embodiment to another. In the embodiment illustrated here, the angular distance is 30 °. In other words, the rows R1-R12 are twelve in number.
  • each of the first rows R1, R3, R5, R7, R9, R11 has protuberances, or teeth 31, the length of which gradually decreases from the distal end 16 towards the central part 15 of the applicator 12. then gradually increases from the central part 15 towards the proximal end 13.
  • the free end of the teeth 31 defines a first envelope, or first wave V1, first convex in the vicinity of the distal end 16, then concave at the neighborhood of the central part 15 and again convex in the vicinity of the proximal end 13.
  • the first wave V1 is substantially identical to all the first rows R1, R3, R5, R7, R9, R11.
  • the maximum size D31 occupied by this first wave V1 is located in the vicinity of the distal end 16 and in the vicinity of the proximal end 13. This first wave V1 occupies a minimum space d31 in the vicinity of the central part 15 of the core 12.
  • the maximum dimensions D31 and minimum d31 will respect the following formula: 1 ⁇ D 31 d 31 ⁇ 4 .
  • maximum or minimum bulk is meant the distance between the axis of longitudinal extension of the core X and the free end of a protuberance, in other words, the radial extension of the protuberances.
  • each of the second rows R2, R4, R6, R8, R10, R12 has protuberances, or teeth 32, the length of which increases progressively from the distal end 16 towards the central part 15 of the applicator 12 then gradually decreases from the part central 15 towards the proximal end 13.
  • the free end of the teeth 32 defines a second envelope, or second wave V2, first concave in the vicinity of the distal end 16, then convex in the vicinity of the central part 15 and again concave in the vicinity of the proximal end 13.
  • the second wave V2 is substantially identical to all the second rows R2, R4, R6, R8, R10, R12.
  • the maximum size D32 occupied by this second wave V2 is located in the vicinity of the central part 15 of the core 12 while the minimum size d32 occupied by this second wave V2 is located in the vicinity of the distal end 16 and at the bottom. near the proximal end 13.
  • the maximum dimensions D32 and minimum d32 will respect the following formula: 1 ⁇ D 32 d 32 ⁇ 4 .
  • each of said first and second rows is here of wavy or sinusoidal shape, in phase shift, advantageously in phase opposition.
  • each of the rows R1-R12 has a wave-shaped profile V1, V2 with the following particularity: the waves V1 formed by the first rows R1, R3, R5, R7, R9, R11 are in phase opposition with respect to to wave V2 formed by the second rows R2, R4, R6, R8, R10, R12.
  • the applicator 10 does not present here rows of teeth which would define, by their free end, a wave different from the two waves V1, V2 which have just been described.
  • the protuberances 30 of two adjacent rows have different radial extensions.
  • the container of the applicator assembly generally comprises a wringer fixed inside its neck to limit the quantity of product on the protuberances 30, in particular on those of extensions. longest radials. The latter are then used for combing the eyelashes, while the teeth of weaker radial extension, which will be only slightly wrung out, are used to load the eyelashes with product.
  • the effect associated with the alternation of two types of waves V1, V2 around a core 12 of the type of the invention is particularly advantageous. It allows the user to benefit, in a simple gesture of rotation of the applicator around its longitudinal axis, from load zones, namely congestion zones minimum d31, d32, and eyelash combing zones, namely the zones of maximum bulk D31, D32.
  • the loading and combing zones follow one another around the core 12 of the applicator 10 in the form of waves V1, V2 in phase opposition, and this over its entire length.
  • the loading and combing zones follow one another, staggered, axially and angularly, along and around the X axis of the applicator 10.
  • the applicator 10 therefore comprises rows R1-R12 of protuberances 30, the size of which D31, D32 can be significant.
  • the core 12 must have a relatively small diameter d12 (see figure 2 ).
  • the core 12 may have a ribbed profile here in the form of longitudinal ribs 17 regularly spaced around a core of the core as illustrated in Figure figure 2 .
  • the core 12 will also have a constant section along its axis of longitudinal extension.
  • the example shown on figure 2 has four longitudinal ribs 17 but this number may vary.
  • the core 12 will have at least one longitudinal rib 17.
  • the cross section of said rib or ribs is substantially in the shape of an omega ( ⁇ ). Said cross section is made in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis X of the core 12.
  • the applicator of the invention has yet another advantage. It allows a remarkable separation of the eyelashes of the user which can be reinforced by the following characteristic: the teeth 31 of the first rows R1, R3, R5, R7, R9, R11 are offset axially with respect to the teeth 32 of the second rows R2, R4, R6, R8, R10, R12.
  • the protuberances 30 may have a semi-circular section. They therefore preferably each have a flat surface (see figure 4 ). Said protuberances 30 are here positioned so that the flat surfaces of two Adjacent protuberances are oriented in the same gyratory direction around the web 12. In addition, still to facilitate the manufacturing operations, the protuberances 30 will preferably be rectilinear and will each extend along a normal to the axis of the web. 'soul 12.
  • the protuberances 30 will preferably be made from material of the core 12.
