Description

Applicateur pour produit cosmétique et ensemble applicateur associé  Applicator for cosmetic product and associated applicator assembly
L'invention concerne un applicateur pour produit cosmétique et un ensemble applicateur associé. The invention relates to an applicator for a cosmetic product and an associated applicator assembly.
On connaît des ensembles applicateur pour produit cosmétique, notamment pour produit cosmétique destiné à être appliqué sur les cils tel que du mascara, comprenant un récipient contenant le produit cosmétique et un applicateur adapté pour être fixé de manière amovible sur le récipient. Cosmetic product applicator assemblies are known, in particular for a cosmetic product intended to be applied to eyelashes such as mascara, comprising a container containing the cosmetic product and an applicator adapted to be removably attached to the container.
Le récipient comprend généralement un corps, le corps comprenant des parois délimitant un réservoir dans lequel est contenu le produit cosmétique, et un goulot définissant une ouverture par laquelle le produit cosmétique peut être extrait.  The container generally comprises a body, the body comprising walls defining a reservoir in which the cosmetic product is contained, and a neck defining an opening through which the cosmetic product can be extracted.
L'ensemble applicateur comprend généralement un bouchon adapté pour être fixé sur le goulot, une tige s'étendant à partir du bouchon et un applicateur fixé à une extrémité libre de la tige. L'applicateur comprend une âme et une pluralité de protubérances ou de poils s'étendant à partir de l'âme.  The applicator assembly generally includes a cap adapted to be attached to the neck, a stem extending from the plug and an applicator attached to a free end of the stem. The applicator comprises a core and a plurality of protuberances or bristles extending from the core.
Lorsque le bouchon est fixé sur le goulot, la tige et l'applicateur s'étendent à l'intérieur du réservoir. L'applicateur est immergé dans le produit cosmétique contenu dans le réservoir.  When the cap is fixed on the neck, the rod and the applicator extend inside the tank. The applicator is immersed in the cosmetic product contained in the reservoir.
Pour utiliser l'applicateur, l'utilisateur détache le bouchon du goulot et extrait l'applicateur du récipient.  To use the applicator, the user detaches the neck cap and extracts the applicator from the container.
Pour éviter que l'applicateur ne soit trop chargé en produit cosmétique, le récipient comprend généralement un essoreur, fixé à l'intérieur du goulot. Lorsque l'utilisateur extrait l'applicateur du récipient, l'applicateur coulisse à l'intérieur de l'essoreur. L'essoreur racle le produit cosmétique en excès sur la tige et sur l'applicateur.  To prevent the applicator from being overloaded with cosmetic product, the container generally comprises a wiper, fixed inside the neck. When the user extracts the applicator from the container, the applicator slides inside the wiper. The wiper scrapes the cosmetic product in excess on the stem and the applicator.
L'essoreur permet ainsi de régler la quantité de produit présent sur l'applicateur et évite une application excessive de produit cosmétique sur les cils.  The wiper thus makes it possible to regulate the quantity of product present on the applicator and avoids an excessive application of cosmetic product on the eyelashes.
L'essoreur limite, en particulier, la quantité de produit présent sur les protubérances. Deux paramètres interagissent à cette fin. Le diamètre interne de l'essoreur et l'extension radiale des protubérances. Par extension radiale d'une protubérance, on entend la distance entre l'axe d'extension longitudinale de l'âme et l'extrémité libre de la protubérance. Ainsi, la quantité de produit désiré sur les protubérances en sortie de l'essoreur résulte du compromis entre le diamètre interne de l'essoreur et l'extension radiale des protubérances. The wiper limits, in particular, the amount of product present on the protuberances. Two parameters interact for this purpose. The inner diameter of the wiper and the radial extension of the protuberances. By radial extension of a protuberance is meant the distance between the longitudinal axis of extension of the core and the free end of the protuberance. Thus, the amount of desired product 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.
Par ailleurs, on sait que les zones présentant des protubérances d'extension radiale plus faible favorisent le chargement de l'applicateur tandis que les zones présentant des protubérances d'extension radiale plus longue favorisent le peignage des cils.  Furthermore, it is known that the zones having protuberances of lower radial extension favor the loading of the applicator while the zones having protuberances of longer radial extension favor the combing of the eyelashes.
Cependant, les applicateurs comprenant des protubérances destinées à renforcer un effet de peignage des cils sont aujourd'hui utilisés avec des âmes de diamètre important. L'essoreur associé présente alors un diamètre élevé et, par conséquent, le récipient destiné à la recevoir aussi. Dès lors, l'ensemble applicateur associé a un diamètre externe trop élevé par rapport à l'esthétique recherché pour ce type de produit.  However, the applicators comprising protuberances intended to reinforce the combing effect of the eyelashes are today used with large diameter cores. The associated wiper then has a large diameter and, consequently, the receptacle intended to receive it too. Therefore, the associated applicator assembly has an external diameter too high compared to the desired aesthetics for this type of product.
Une possibilité pour atténuer cet inconvénient consiste à réduire le diamètre de l'âme de l'applicateur. Cela induit un autre inconvénient, celui de diminuer la rigidité de l'âme de l'applicateur.  One possibility to mitigate this disadvantage is to reduce the diameter of the applicator core. This induces another disadvantage, that of reducing the rigidity of the applicator core.
Un but de la présente invention consiste à proposer un applicateur qui comprend des protubérances permettant un effet de peignage des cils, qui a une âme suffisamment rigide et qui n'induit pas l'utilisation de récipients trop encombrants. An object of the present invention is to provide an applicator which comprises protrusions allowing a combing effect of the eyelashes, which has a sufficiently rigid core and which does not induce the use of too bulky containers.
Ainsi, l'invention concerne un applicateur pour produit cosmétique comprenant une âme présentant une première extrémité, dite extrémité proximale, et une deuxième extrémité libre, dite extrémité distale, et une pluralité de protubérances s'étendant en saillie à partir de l'âme, lesdites protubérances étant moulées avec l'âme. Thus, the invention relates to an applicator for a cosmetic product comprising a core having a first end, said proximal end, and a second free end, said distal end, and a plurality of protuberances projecting from the core, said protuberances being molded with the core.
Selon l'invention l'âme présente un cœur et des nervures s'étendant entre son extrémité proximale et son extrémité distale, depuis le cœur. According to the invention the core has a heart and ribs extending between its proximal end and its distal end, from the heart.
L'applicateur de l'invention résout le problème posé en proposant une âme qui peut être relativement fine tout en assurant la rigidité attendue pour la fonction qu'elle doit remplir, à savoir supporter des protubérances permettant un effet de peignage des cils sans fléchir lors de l'application du produit cosmétique sur les cils d'une utilisatrice. The applicator of the invention solves the problem by proposing a soul which can be relatively thin while providing the expected rigidity for the function it has to fulfill, namely to support protrusions allowing a combing effect eyelashes without sagging when applying the cosmetic product to the eyelashes of a user.

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 previously described, adapted to be fixed on the container, so that the applicator is housed inside the tank.
L'invention sera mieux comprise, et d'autres buts, détails, caractéristiques et avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront plus clairement au cours de la description explicative détaillée qui va suivre, d'au moins un mode de réalisation de l'invention donné à titre d'exemple purement illustratif et non limitatif, en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés. The invention will be better understood, and other objects, details, features and advantages thereof will become more clearly apparent in the following detailed explanatory description of at least one embodiment of the invention given to As a purely illustrative and non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying schematic drawings.

- la figure 2 est une vue de dessus de l'exemple de réalisation illustré à la figure 1 ,  FIG. 2 is a view from above of the exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1;
- la figure 3 est une vue en coupe selon l'axe A-A référencé sur la figure 1 .  - Figure 3 is a sectional view along the axis A-A referenced in Figure 1.
L'invention concerne un applicateur 10 pour produit cosmétique comprenant une âme 12 présentant une première extrémité, dite extrémité proximale 13, et une deuxième extrémité libre, dite extrémité distale 16, et une pluralité de protubérances 30 s'étendant en saillie à partir de l'âme 12. L'âme 12 est en outre prolongée ici par un manchon 14 de fixation de l'applicateur 10, s'étendant à partir de l'extrémité proximale 13 de l'âme 12. The invention relates to an applicator 10 for a cosmetic product comprising a core 12 having a first end, said proximal end 13, and a second free end, said distal end 16, and a plurality of protuberances 30 projecting from the end 12. The core 12 is further extended here by a sleeve 14 for fixing the applicator 10, extending from the proximal end 13 of the core 12.
Lesdites protubérances 30 sont moulées avec l'âme 12. Autrement dit, les protubérances 30 peuvent être issues de matière avec l'âme 12 ou bien surmoulées sur l'âme 12.  Said protuberances 30 are molded with the core 12. In other words, the protuberances 30 may be made of material with the core 12 or molded onto the core 12.
Dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré ici, l'âme 12 présente un cœur 1 1 et des nervures 17. Ces nervures 17 s'étendent depuis le cœur 1 1 de l'âme 12, entre l'extrémité proximale 13 et l'extrémité distale 15 de ladite âme 12 (voir figure 1 ).  In the embodiment illustrated here, the core 12 has a heart 1 1 and ribs 17. These ribs 17 extend from the heart 1 1 of the core 12, between the proximal end 13 and the end distal 15 of said core 12 (see Figure 1).
Les protubérances 30 s'étendent, de préférence, depuis les nervures 17 (voir figure 2). Elles pourront aussi s'étendre directement depuis le cœur 1 1 de ladite âme 12. De plus, les protubérances 30 sont réparties en différentes rangées, orientées longitudinalement. The protuberances 30 preferably extend from the ribs 17 (see FIG. 2). They may also extend directly from the heart 1 1 of said core 12. In addition, the protuberances 30 are divided into different rows, oriented longitudinally.
En effet, les protubérances 30 sont agencées en une pluralité de rangées R1 - R12 s'étendant selon la direction d'extension de l'âme 12, repérée X sur la figure 1 . Les rangées R1 -R12, visibles sur la figure 2, sont toutes parallèles à un axe de l'âme 12, en particulier son axe d'extension longitudinal X. Indeed, the protuberances 30 are arranged in a plurality of rows R1 - R12 extending in the extension direction of the core 12, marked X in Figure 1. The rows R1 -R12, visible in FIG. 2, are all parallel to an axis of the core 12, in particular its longitudinal extension axis X.
Les rangées R1 -R12 sont espacées radialement autour de la périphérie de l'âme 12 selon une distance angulaire constante. Cette distance angulaire peut varier d'un exemple de réalisation à l'autre. Dans le mode de réalisation illustré ici, la distance angulaire est de 30°. Autrement dit, les rangées R1 -R12 sont au nombre de douze.  The rows R1-R12 are spaced radially around the periphery of the core 12 at a constant angular distance. This angular distance may 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.
Dans l'exemple de réalisation décrit ici, les nervures 17 sont parallèles à l'axe d'extension longitudinal X de l'âme 12. In the embodiment described here, the ribs 17 are parallel to the longitudinal extension axis X of the core 12.
Les figures 2 et 3 représentent en détail ces nervures 17. Ainsi, il est possible de constater, ici, qu'elles présentent une section arrondie. Plus précisément, la section transversale desdites nervures 17 est sensiblement en forme d'oméga (Ω). Figures 2 and 3 show in detail these ribs 17. Thus, it is possible to note here that they have a rounded section. More specifically, the cross section of said ribs 17 is substantially in the shape of omega (Ω).
On entend par section transversale, toute section transversale réalisée dans un plan orthogonal à l'axe longitudinal X de l'âme 12.  By transverse section is meant any transverse section made in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis X of the core 12.
Il est particulièrement visible, sur la figure 3, que ces nervures 17 sont réparties autour du cœur 1 1 de l'âme 12. Plus précisément, les nervures 17 sont espacées radialement autour de la périphérie du cœur 1 1 selon une distance angulaire constante. Dans l'exemple illustré ici, la distance angulaire est de 90°. Autrement dit, lesdites nervures 17 sont au nombre de quatre. It is particularly visible, in Figure 3, that these ribs 17 are distributed around the core 1 1 of the core 12. More specifically, the ribs 17 are spaced radially around the periphery of the core 1 1 at a constant angular distance. In the example shown here, the angular distance is 90 °. In other words, said ribs 17 are four in number.
Il est tout à fait possible de prévoir un espacement angulaire différent entre lesdites nervures, ce qui aurait pour conséquence d'en limiter le nombre, voire de l'augmenter. Ladite distance angulaire restera cependant comprise dans l'intervalle [0 ;180°].  It is quite possible to provide a different angular spacing between said ribs, which would have the effect of limiting the number, or even increase it. Said angular distance will however remain in the range [0; 180 °].
L'âme 12 présentera alors une rigidité suffisante à sa fonction grâce aux nervures longitudinales 17 régulièrement espacées autour du cœur 1 1 de l'âme 12. Une section transversale du cœur 1 1 présente une forme sensiblement circulaire dont le diamètre d1 1 sera dans l'intervalle [0.5 ; 2,5mm], de préférence égal à 1 ,5mm (voir figure 3). Cette même section transversale présentera un encombrement maximal occupé par les nervures 17 sous la forme d'un cercle de diamètre d17 qui sera compris dans l'intervalle [1 ,5 ; 3,5mm], de préférence égal à 2,8mm. De façon avantageuse le ratio— est compris entre 0,4 et 0,7, d1 1 et d17 étant mesurés dans la même unité. The core 12 will then have a sufficient rigidity to its function thanks to the longitudinal ribs 17 regularly spaced around the core 1 1 of the core 12. A cross section of the core 1 1 has a substantially circular shape whose diameter d1 1 will be in the interval [0.5; 2.5mm], preferably equal to 1.5mm (see FIG. 3). This same cross section will have a maximum space occupied by the ribs 17 in the form of a circle of diameter d17 which will be in the range [1, 5; 3.5mm], preferably equal to 2.8mm. Advantageously, the ratio is between 0.4 and 0.7, d 1 and d 17 being measured in the same unit.
Dans l'exemple de réalisation ici décrit, l'âme présente une section constante de son extrémité proximale 13 à son extrémité distale 16. In the exemplary embodiment described here, the core has a constant section from its proximal end 13 to its distal end 16.
D'autre part, l'âme 12 sera moulée en matériau plastique, comme les protubérances 30 qui seront, de préférence, moulées avec le même plastique que l'âme 12, voire issue de matière de l'âme 12. On the other hand, the core 12 will be molded in plastic material, as the protuberances 30 which will preferably be molded with the same plastic as the core 12, or even the material of the core 12.
Par exemple, l'âme 12 et les protubérances 30, pourront être moulées en un matériau à base de LDPE (polyéthylène basse densité). D'autres matériaux pourront être encore utilisés, à savoir la matière « EXACT » d'ExxonMobil ou la matière « HYTREL » de Dupont ou un mélange de ces matériaux. L'âme 12 sera prévue pleine. Il est aussi possible, dans un autre mode de réalisation non illustré, que l'âme 12 soit creuse.  For example, the core 12 and the protuberances 30 may be molded from a material based on LDPE (low density polyethylene). Other materials may still be used, namely ExxonMobil's "EXACT" material or Dupont's "HYTREL" material or a mixture of these materials. Soul 12 will be scheduled full. It is also possible, in another embodiment not illustrated, that the core 12 is hollow.
Les nervures 17 appartenant à l'âme 12 seront moulées lors d'une même opération. The ribs 17 belonging to the core 12 will be molded during the same operation.
D'autre part, pour faciliter les opérations de fabrication d'un tel applicateur 10, les protubérances 30 pourront présenter une section demi-circulaire. Elles présentent de la sorte, de préférence, chacune une surface plane (voir figure 2). Lesdites protubérances 30 sont ici positionnées de sorte que les surfaces planes de deux protubérances adjacentes sont orientées selon le même sens giratoire autour de l'âme 12. De plus, toujours pour faciliter les opérations de fabrication, les protubérances 30 seront de préférence rectilignes et s'étendront, chacune, selon une normale à l'axe X de l'âme 12. II est à noter que l'applicateur 10 forme, avantageusement, une brosse. On the other hand, to facilitate the manufacturing operations of such an applicator 10, the protuberances 30 may have a semicircular section. In this way, they preferably each have a flat surface (see FIG. 2). Said protrusions 30 are here positioned so that the flat surfaces of two adjacent protuberances are oriented in the same direction of rotation around the core 12. In addition, still to facilitate manufacturing operations, the protuberances 30 will preferably rectilinear and s Each of them will extend along a normal axis X of the core 12. It should be noted that the applicator 10 advantageously forms a brush.
Il est aussi à noter que les nervures 17 de l'âme 12 selon l'invention ne permettent pas l'application de produit cosmétique sur les cils. L'invention concerne aussi un ensemble applicateur pour produit cosmétique, comprenant un récipient comprenant un corps formant un réservoir contenant le produit cosmétique, et un applicateur tel que précédemment décrit, adapté pour être fixé sur le récipient, de sorte que l'applicateur est logé à l'intérieur du réservoir. Ledit applicateur 10 est fixé, par exemple, à l'extrémité d'une tige, elle-même fixée à un bouchon avantageusement vissé au récipient. Après montage, le manchon 14 est situé dans la tige et l'extrémité proximale 13 de l'âme forme l'extrémité proximale visible de l'applicateur. It should also be noted that the ribs 17 of the core 12 according to the invention do not allow the application of cosmetic product to the eyelashes. The invention also relates to an applicator assembly for a cosmetic product, comprising a container comprising a body forming a reservoir containing the cosmetic product, and an applicator as previously described, adapted to be fixed on the container, so that the applicator is housed inside the tank. Said applicator 10 is fixed, for example, to the end of a rod, itself attached to a cap advantageously screwed to the container. After assembly, the sleeve 14 is located in the rod and the proximal end 13 of the core forms the visible proximal end of the applicator.
Ainsi, l'âme nervurée selon l'invention, notamment âme en croix, présente l'avantage de proposer, à encombrement constant, une rigidité supérieure à celle d'une âme cylindrique. Thus, the ribbed core according to the invention, in particular cross-core, has the advantage of providing, at constant bulk, a rigidity greater than that of a cylindrical core.
Le récipient présente un col dont le diamètre, notamment le diamètre interne, est limité. Cela empêche l'utilisation d'applicateurs volumineux et justifie l'utilisation d'un applicateur avec une âme nervurée, notamment en croix, car habituellement la rigidité est obtenue en augmentant le diamètre d'âmes cylindriques, au détriment de la longueur de l'extension radiale des protubérances. II est aussi à noter que des variantes de réalisation sont bien sûr possibles. The container has a neck whose diameter, including the internal diameter, is limited. This prevents the use of large applicators and justifies the use of an applicator with a ribbed core, especially cross, because usually the stiffness is obtained by increasing the diameter of cylindrical cores, at the expense of the length of the radial extension of the protuberances. It should also be noted that alternative embodiments are of course possible.
Notamment il est aussi envisageable, dans un exemple de réalisation supplémentaire, que l'applicateur de l'invention comprenne une âme courbée. In particular, it is also conceivable, in a further exemplary embodiment, that the applicator of the invention comprises a curved core.
