L'invention concerne applicateur pour produit cosmétique, notamment pour mascara et un ensemble applicateur associé. The invention relates to an applicator for a cosmetic product, in particular for mascara and an associated applicator assembly.
Lesdits applicateurs sont communément appelés « brosses mascara ».  Said applicators are commonly called "mascara brushes".
Ils peuvent être obtenus à partir d'éléments fibreux maintenus entre les parties longitudinales d'une broche métallique torsadée ; ils sont alors communément appelés « brosses torsadées ». Ils peuvent aussi être moulés par injection de matière plastique, ils sont alors communément appelés « brosses plastiques ».  They can be obtained from fibrous elements held between the longitudinal parts of a twisted metal pin; they are then commonly called "twisted brushes". They can also be injection molded plastic, they are then commonly called "plastic brushes".
L'invention propose de réaliser une brosse plastique dont les protubérances, par leurs extrémités, forment une enveloppe complexe, présentant des caractéristiques avantageuses en terme de maquillage. The invention proposes to make a plastic brush whose protuberances, at their ends, form a complex envelope, having advantageous characteristics in terms of makeup.
Ainsi l'invention concerne un applicateur pour produit cosmétique, notamment pour mascara, comprenant une âme s'étendant suivant une direction principale d'extension longitudinale, dit axe d'extension, et des protubérances faisant saillie de ladite âme suivant des directions sensiblement radiales à l'axe d'extension, les protubérances étant moulées avec l'âme. Thus, the invention relates to an applicator for a cosmetic product, in particular for mascara, comprising a core extending in a main direction of longitudinal extension, called the extension axis, and protuberances protruding from said core in substantially radial directions to the axis of extension, the protuberances being molded with the soul.
Selon l'invention, les extrémités libres des protubérances forment au moins deux enveloppes imbriquées le long de l'axe d'extension, une première enveloppe hélicoïdale formée par une première pluralité de protubérances, et une seconde enveloppe formée par une seconde pluralité de protubérances, la seconde enveloppe présentant, à partir de l'axe d'extension, une extension radiale qui est plus faible que l'extension radiale de la première enveloppe.  According to the invention, the free ends of the protuberances form at least two envelopes nested along the extension axis, a first helical envelope formed by a first plurality of protuberances, and a second envelope formed by a second plurality of protuberances, the second envelope having, from the axis of extension, a radial extension which is smaller than the radial extension of the first envelope.
La brosse plastique de l'invention propose ainsi un arrangement particulier de protubérances qui offre des avantages spécifiques pour la distribution de mascara, tout le long de la brosse, par exemple concernant des fonctions telles que le chargement ou le peignage. Cet arrangement améliore les effets d'épaississement des cils, d'allongement des cils et/ou de séparation des cils induits par l'application de mascara à l'aide de la brosse de l'invention. Λ The plastic brush of the invention thus proposes a particular arrangement of protuberances which offers specific advantages for the distribution of mascara, all along the brush, for example concerning functions such as loading or combing. This arrangement enhances the effects of eyelash thickening, eyelash lengthening and / or eyelash separation induced by the application of mascara using the brush of the invention. Λ

Dans la suite, on entendra par rangée radiale de protubérances 30 une rangée de protubérances 30 disposées autour de l'âme 12, dans un même plan orthogonal à l'âme, ledit plan coupant l'âme selon une direction qui est ici sensiblement circulaire. In the embodiment illustrated by the figures, some of the protuberances 31 which form the envelope E1 have a radial extension L31 substantially equal, for example, to 4.75 mm. Some of the protuberances 32 which form the envelope E2 have, for their part, a radial extension L32 substantially equal, for example, to 3.3 mm. We note here, in each of the envelopes E1, E2, the presence of protuberances 31 ', 32' of intermediate radial extension (see Figure 2). In the following, will be understood by radial row of protuberances 30 a row of protuberances 30 disposed around the core 12, in the same plane orthogonal to the core, said plane cutting the core in a direction which is here substantially circular.
On entendra par rangée parallèle de protubérances 30, une rangée de protubérances 30 disposées le long de l'âme 12, sur une même ligne, ladite ligne étant sensiblement parallèle à l'axe d'extension X. Ainsi, les enveloppes hélicoïdales E1 , E2 sont imbriquées l'une dans l'autre. Dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré ici, elles sont définies par le décalage angulaire des protubérances 31 , 32 qui les forment. Autrement dit, une rangée radiale de protubérances 30 comporte à la fois des protubérances appartenant à la pluralité de protubérances 31 formant l'enveloppe E1 et à la pluralité de protubérances 32 formant l'enveloppe E2. A parallel row of protuberances 30 will be understood to mean a row of protuberances 30 disposed along the core 12, on the same line, said line being substantially parallel to the axis of extension X. Thus, the helical envelopes E1, E2 are nested one inside the other. In the exemplary embodiment illustrated here, they are defined by the angular offset of the protuberances 31, 32 which form them. In other words, a radial row of protuberances 30 includes both protrusions belonging to the plurality of protuberances 31 forming the envelope E1 and to the plurality of protuberances 32 forming the envelope E2.
De plus, deux rangées radiales successives comprennent le même nombre de protubérances et sont décalées angulairement, l'une par rapport à l'autre, le long de l'axe d'extension X. C'est ce décalage angulaire qui permet ici la formation des enveloppes hélicoïdales E1 , E2. Avantageusement, deux rangées radiales successives sont l'image l'une de l'autre par rotation autour de l'axe d'extension X. Ceci est le cas soit sur la totalité de l'âme 12 entre son extrémité proximale 13 et son extrémité distale 1 6, soit sur une portion seulement de l'âme 12, en particulier une portion s'étendant à partir de l'extrémité proximale 13 jusqu'à une partie intermédiaire de l'âme 12, située entre l'extrémité proximale 13 et l'extrémité distale 1 6, l'enveloppe formée par les protubérances présentes sur le reste de l'âme 12 présentant alors éventuellement une forme de chanfrein ou tronconique.  In addition, two successive radial rows comprise the same number of protuberances and are angularly offset, relative to one another, along the extension axis X. It is this angular offset that allows here the formation helical envelopes E1, E2. Advantageously, two successive radial rows are the image of one another by rotation around the axis of extension X. This is the case either on the whole of the core 12 between its proximal end 13 and its end. distal 1 6, or on only a portion of the core 12, in particular a portion extending from the proximal end 13 to an intermediate portion of the core 12, located between the proximal end 13 and the distal end 1 6, the casing formed by the protuberances present on the remainder of the core 12 then optionally having a shape of chamfer or frustoconical.
En particulier, dans l'exemple illustré sur la figure 1 , on constate, le long de l'axe d'extension X, la succession suivante : deux rangées radiales présentant le même calage angulaire autour de l'âme 12, puis deux autres rangées radiales callées angulairement entre elles mais décalées par rapport aux deux premières rangées radiales, puis encore deux autres rangées radiales callées angulairement entre elles et décalées angulairement par rapport aux deux précédentes et aux deux premières, les protubérances 30 des deux dernières rangées étant ici alignées, dans la direction de l'âme, avec les protubérances 30 des deux premières rangées.  In particular, in the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the following succession is observed along the extension axis X: two radial rows presenting the same angular setting around the core 12, then two other rows radial radial calluses angularly to each other but offset from the first two radial rows, then two other radial rows angularly angularly interposed and angularly offset from the two previous and the first two, the protuberances 30 of the last two rows being here aligned, in the direction of the soul, with the protuberances 30 of the first two rows.
Le nombre de deux rangées radiales callées ensembles mais décalées par rapport aux rangées directement adjacentes peut varier ; ainsi, selon d'autres exemples de réalisation non illustrés, les successions suivantes sont possibles, le long de l'axe d'extension X : χ rangées radiales présentant le même calage angulaire autour de l'âme 12, puis y autres rangées radiales callées angulairement entre elles mais décalées par rapport aux χ premières rangées radiales, puis encore x autres rangées radiales callées angulairement entre elles, décalées angulairement par rapport aux y précédentes et par rapport aux x premières, avec un éventuel alignement dans la direction de l'âme ; x et y respectant la formule : 1 ≤ x> y ≤ 5 . The number of two radial rows called together but offset from the directly adjacent rows may vary; thus, according to other non-illustrated exemplary embodiments, the following successions are possible along the extension axis X: χ radial rows having the same angular setting around the core 12, then other radial squared rows angularly to each other but offset from the χ first radial rows, then again x other radial rows angularly angularly interposed, angularly offset relative to the previous y and with respect to the first x , with a possible alignment in the direction of the soul; x and y respecting the formula: 1 ≤ x > y ≤ 5 .
Cela signifie qu'une rangée parallèle de protubérances 30 comporte, elle aussi, à la fois des protubérances appartenant à la pluralité de protubérances 31 formant l'enveloppe E1 et à la pluralité de protubérances 32 formant l'enveloppe E2. This means that a parallel row of protuberances 30 also includes both protrusions belonging to the plurality of protuberances 31 forming the envelope E1 and to the plurality of protuberances 32 forming the envelope E2.
On appellera rangée mixte une rangée radiale qui comprend des protubérances 30 de chacune des enveloppes E1 , E2. La coupe représentée sur la figure 2 illustre une telle rangée mixte.  The term mixed row will be called a radial row which comprises protuberances 30 of each of the envelopes E1, E2. The section shown in FIG. 2 illustrates such a mixed row.
Ladite rangée mixte comprend une alternance de protubérances 31 du premier type avec des protubérances 32 du second type. Plus précisément, on constate que trois protubérances 31 , 31 ' du premier type alternent, ici, avec trois protubérances 32, 32' du second type et que cette alternance est séquentielle.  Said mixed row comprises an alternation of protuberances 31 of the first type with protuberances 32 of the second type. More precisely, it can be seen that three protuberances 31, 31 'of the first type alternate, here, with three protuberances 32, 32' of the second type and that this alternation is sequential.
Encore plus précisément, chaque groupe de trois protubérances 31 , 32 comprend une protubérance 31 ', 32' d'extension radiale intermédiaire, ladite protubérance 31 ', 32' étant encadrée par deux protubérances 31 , 32 d'un même type. Ces protubérances 31 ', 32', dites intermédiaires, forment des réservoirs superficiels de produit cosmétique au sein même de leur enveloppe E1 , E2 ; ces réservoirs superficiels s'étendant le long de l'axe principal X.  Still more specifically, each group of three protuberances 31, 32 comprises a protrusion 31 ', 32' of intermediate radial extension, said protuberance 31 ', 32' being flanked by two protuberances 31, 32 of the same type. These protuberances 31 ', 32', said intermediate, form surface tanks of cosmetic product within their envelope E1, E2; these shallow reservoirs extending along the main axis X.
Autrement dit, l'enveloppe E2 forme un sillon hélicoïdal à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe E1 , hélicoïdale elle aussi. Encore autrement dit, les enveloppes E1 , E2 comprennent chacune un sillon central, hélicoïdal, formé par les protubérances 31 ', 32' d'extension radiale intermédiaire. Ledit sillon central est moins visible par rapport à son enveloppe E1 , E2 que peut l'être le sillon formé par la seconde enveloppe E2 par rapport à la première enveloppe E1 .  In other words, the envelope E2 forms a helical groove inside the envelope E1, helical too. In other words, the envelopes E1, E2 each comprise a central groove, helical, formed by the protuberances 31 ', 32' of intermediate radial extension. Said central groove is less visible relative to its envelope E1, E2 than can be the groove formed by the second envelope E2 relative to the first envelope E1.
Alternativement, un applicateur 10 selon l'invention pourra être formé par une succession axiale de rangées mixtes, chacune desdites rangées mixtes comprenant un nombre plus élevé de protubérances 31 définissant la première enveloppe hélicoïdale E1 que de protubérances 32 définissant la seconde enveloppe hélicoïdale E2, ceci sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. D'autre part, l'ensemble applicateur associé comprend un récipient. Ledit récipient, conforme à l'invention, comprend généralement un essoreur fixé à l'intérieur de son goulot pour limiter la quantité de produit sur les protubérances 30, en particulier sur celles d'extensions radiales les plus longues, à savoir les protubérances 31 . Ces dernières servent alors au peignage des cils, tandis que les protubérances 32, de plus faible extension radiale, qui ne seront que peu essorées, servent à charger les cils en produit cosmétique. Alternatively, an applicator 10 according to the invention may be formed by an axial succession of mixed rows, each of said mixed rows comprising a higher number of protuberances 31 defining the first helical envelope E1 than of protuberances 32 defining the second helical envelope E2, this without departing from the scope of the invention. On the other hand, the associated applicator assembly includes a container. Said container, according to the invention, generally comprises a wiper fixed inside its neck to limit the amount of product on the protuberances 30, in particular those of the longest radial extensions, namely the protuberances 31. The latter then serve to comb the eyelashes, while the protuberances 32, of smaller radial extension, which will be only spun, serve to load the eyelashes cosmetic product.
De plus, lesdites enveloppes E1 , E2 présentent une forme de vis, autour de l'axe d'extension X. Autrement dit, les enveloppes E1 , E2 présentent une forme en hélice, de section transversale circulaire, avec un pas qui monte à droite, ou à gauche, notamment de l'extrémité proximale 13 à l'extrémité distale 1 6. Cela présente l'avantage d'ajouter un effet de guidage au peignage des cils.  In addition, said envelopes E1, E2 have a screw shape, around the extension axis X. In other words, the envelopes E1, E2 have a helical shape, of circular cross section, with a step which goes to the right , or left, in particular from the proximal end 13 to the distal end 1 6. This has the advantage of adding a guiding effect to the combing of the eyelashes.
Ainsi, l'effet associé à l'alternance de deux type d'enveloppes E1 , E2 autour d'une âme 12 est particulièrement avantageux. Il permet à l'utilisateur de bénéficier, en un simple geste de rotation de l'applicateur 10 autour de son axe d'extension X, de zones de charges, à savoir les zones créées par l'enveloppe E2, et de zones de peignage des cils, à savoir les zones créées par l'enveloppe E1 . Thus, the effect associated with the alternation of two types of envelopes E1, E2 around a core 12 is particularly advantageous. It allows the user to benefit, in a simple gesture of rotation of the applicator 10 around its axis of extension X, areas of loads, namely the zones created by the envelope E2, and combing zones eyelashes, namely the zones created by the envelope E1.
Autrement dit, les zones de charge et de peignage se succèdent autour de l'âme 12 de l'applicateur 10 sous la forme d'enveloppes E1 , E2 imbriquées l'une dans l'autre, et ceci sur toute sa longueur.  In other words, the charging and combing areas follow each other around the core 12 of the applicator 10 in the form of envelopes E1, E2 imbricated one in the other, and this over its entire length.
Encore autrement dit, les zones de charge et de peignage se succèdent, axialement et angulairement, le long et autour de l'axe X de l'applicateur 10, tout en guidant les cils d'un utilisateur sans que celui-ci ait à translater l'applicateur parallèlement à la rangée de cils qu'il est en train de maquiller, ceci grâce à la forme hélicoïdale des enveloppes E1 , E2.  In other words, the charging and combing zones succeed each other, axially and angularly, along and around the axis X of the applicator 10, while guiding the eyelashes of a user without the latter having to translate. the applicator parallel to the row of eyelashes he is makeup, this thanks to the helical shape of the envelopes E1, E2.
Il est à noter que les 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. It should be noted that the protuberances 30 are molded with the core 12. In other words, the protuberances 30 may be made from material with the core 12 or molded onto the core 12.
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. 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 de l'âme 12. 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. Said protuberances 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, always to facilitate the manufacturing operations, the protuberances 30 will preferably rectilinear and will extend, each, along a normal to the axis of the soul 12.
Les protubérances 30 seront de préférence issues de matière de l'âme 12. The protuberances 30 will preferably come from material of the core 12.
Ainsi, 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. Thus, 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 the "EXACT" material of ExxonMobil or the "HYTREL" material of Dupont, or a mixture of these materials.
Il est à noter que l'applicateur 10 forme, avantageusement, une brosse. It should be noted that the applicator 10 forms, advantageously, a brush.
Il est à noter, aussi, que l'âme 12 est de préférence de section constante, du moins dans sa forme, dont la section transversale est sensiblement circulaire. Cette forme pourra toutefois être polygonale, voire ellipsoïdale, sans que cela ne sorte du cadre de l'invention.  It should be noted, too, that the core 12 is preferably of constant section, at least in its shape, whose cross section is substantially circular. This form may, however, be polygonal, or even ellipsoidal, without this outside the scope of the invention.
Il est à noter, encore, que l'âme est pleine. Elle pourra toutefois être creuse sans que cela ne sorte du cadre de l'invention.  It is worth noting, again, that the soul is full. It may, however, be hollow without this outside the scope of the invention.
Pour rappel, l'invention concerne aussi un ensemble applicateur pour produit cosmétique, comprenant un récipient (non représenté) comprenant un corps formant un réservoir contenant le produit cosmétique, et un applicateur 10 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 (non représentée), elle-même fixée à un bouchon (non représenté) 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. As a reminder, the invention also relates to an applicator assembly for a cosmetic product, comprising a container (not shown) comprising a body forming a reservoir containing the cosmetic product, and an applicator 10 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 (not shown), itself attached to a plug (not shown) 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.
Il est à noter que les protubérances 31 , 32 desdites première et seconde enveloppes E1 , E2 forment un chanfrein au voisinage de l'extrémité distale 1 6 ; ceci afin de faciliter la réinsertion de l'applicateur 10 selon l'invention, vers l'intérieur du réservoir, après utilisation. Il est aussi à noter que des variantes de réalisation sont bien sûr possibles. Notamment, dans un exemple de réalisation supplémentaire, l'applicateur 10 de l'invention comporte un nombre d'enveloppes différent de deux ; à savoir, un nombre plus faible - par exemple une unique enveloppe hélicoïdale imbriquée avec une enveloppe cylindrique - ou un nombre plus élevé - par exemple trois enveloppes hélicoïdales imbriquées, donc trois pluralités de protubérances définissant chacune une des trois enveloppes hélicoïdales, chacune présentant des protubérances ayant une extension radiale différente des deux autres. It should be noted that the protuberances 31, 32 of said first and second envelopes E1, E2 form a chamfer in the vicinity of the distal end 1 6; this in order to facilitate the reinsertion of the applicator 10 according to the invention, towards the inside of the tank, after use. It should also be noted that variant embodiments are of course possible. In particular, in a further exemplary embodiment, the applicator 10 of the invention comprises a number of envelopes other than two; that is, a smaller number - for example a single helical envelope nested with a cylindrical envelope - or a higher number - for example three interlocked helical envelopes, hence three pluralities of protuberances each defining one of the three helical envelopes, each having protuberances having a radial extension different from the other two.
