Definitions
- the invention relates to an applicator for a cosmetic product and an associated applicator assembly.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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, which protuberances may be molded with the core.
- the rod and the applicator extend inside the tank.
- the applicator is immersed in the cosmetic product contained in the reservoir.
- the user detaches the neck cap and extracts the applicator from the container.
- the container generally comprises a wiper, fixed inside the neck.
- the applicator slides inside the wiper.
- the wiper scrapes the cosmetic product in excess on the stem and the applicator.
- 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.
- the wiper particularly limits the amount of product on the protuberances that extend a great length from the core. The Applicators comprising such protuberances are then used for combing the eyelashes.
- the structures for scraping the side walls of the reservoir have either an articulation between the rod and the applicator, or an articulation at the level of the rod itself.
- the applicators (brushes) of these structures are not adapted to come into contact with the rigid walls of the tank. Indeed, the mechanical stresses exerted between the applicator and the rigid wall cause deterioration of the applicator, for example the deformation of the metal core of a brush carrying the fibers of the brush.
- these structures are expensive because they require a high number of parts and additional manufacturing steps.
- an object of the present invention is therefore to provide an applicator allowing the recovery of a maximum of cosmetic product without damaging the applicator.
- the invention relates to an applicator for a cosmetic product comprising a core having a longitudinal axis (X) and having a first end, said proximal end, and a second free end, said distal end, and a plurality of protuberances, said core comprising at least one bending zone between its distal end and its proximal end, said bending zone having a minimum diameter in a portion of the brush located at more than half of the total length of the brush, along the axis longitudinal (X), starting from the proximal end.
- the applicator according to the invention comprises at least one bending zone intrinsic to the core.
- the applicator according to the invention is particularly advantageous because it is better adapted to recover the cosmetic product left on the walls of the reservoir and at the level of the wiper. It also has an economic interest related to the fact that the applicator as such can be stored / used longer without being damaged and that a greater amount of cosmetic product is finally available to the user, before having to buy a new applicator set of the cosmetic product in question. Finally, such an applicator according to the invention does not require a complex system of ball or articulation increasing the number of parts of the applicator assembly, the cost of manufacture and the assembly time.
- the core comprises a flexion zone
- the soul comprises more than one flexion zone
- the flexion zone allows the distal part of the core to pivot, when applying a stress on the applicator, thus defining at least one pivot axis (Y) with respect to the longitudinal axis ( X) of the soul,
- the bending zone makes it possible to bend the distal portion of the core from a rest position substantially aligned with the longitudinal axis (X) of the core to a bending position of between 1 ° and 45 ° relative to the X axis, when applying a constraint on the applicator,
- the flexion zone allows the distal portion to return to a rest position substantially aligned with the longitudinal axis (X) of the core after stopping a stress applied to the applicator
- the flexion zone is adjacent to the proximal portion and the distal portion; the flexion zone is situated equidistantly between the proximal end and the distal end of the core,
- the flexion zone has a minimum diameter in a portion of the brush located at more than half of the total length of the brush, along the longitudinal axis (X), starting from the proximal end,
- the protuberances are molded with the soul, - the core is made of plastic material,
- the protuberances are made of plastic material
- the core and the protuberances are molded in the same material
- the cross section of said core is circular
- the diameter of said circular cross section of the core varies with the longitudinal axis (X), knowing that this diameter is greater in the center of the proximal portion than in the center of the distal portion of said core and that the diameter the smallest is at the center of the flexion zone,
- the protuberances are arranged in a plurality of rows R1-R12 which extend parallel to the axis of longitudinal extension (X) of the core, the number of rows being smaller or greater than 12,
- the adjacent rows (for example, R1 and R2) are offset with respect to each other,
- the length of the protuberances, from their base located at the level of the core to their free end, is the same, or on the contrary is not the same, for all the protuberances that the applicator comprises.
- the applicator forms a brush.
- the invention also relates to an applicator assembly (not shown) for a cosmetic product, comprising a container comprising a body forming a reservoir (60) intended to contain the cosmetic product, and an applicator (10) according to the invention, adapted to be fixed on the container, so that the applicator (10) is housed inside the reservoir (60).
- FIG. 1 is an elevational view of an exemplary embodiment of an applicator according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a view of the applicator in the rest position (solid lines) and in the flexion position during the application of a stress on the applicator (dashed lines),
- FIG. 3 represents a view of the applicator in the bending position in the reservoir
- FIG. 4 shows a view of the applicator in the bending position at the wiper.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of an applicator (10) for a cosmetic product according to the invention, which comprises a core (12) extending along a longitudinal axis X and a plurality of protuberances (40) molded with the soul, said protuberances extending protruding from the core and having a base located at the soul and a free end.
- the core (12) has a cross section, that is to say a section made in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal extension axis (X) of said core (12), of circular shape.
- the core also has a first end, said proximal end (22) and a second end, said distal end (32), said core comprising at least one bending zone (50) between its distal end (32) and its proximal end (22).
- the flexion zone (50) makes it possible to flex the part of the web situated between the flexion zone (50) and the distal end (32), so-called distal portion (35), without changing the orientation of the portion of the web between the proximal portion (22) and the flexion area (50), said proximal portion (25), relative to the longitudinal axis ( X), as shown in dashed lines in FIG.
- FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of an applicator (10) for a cosmetic product according to the invention when the applicator (10) is flexed at the level of the bending zone (50) in the reservoir (60), the part distal (35) of the core (12) can thus scrape the walls of the reservoir (60) by means of the protuberances (40) associated with this portion of the core.
- FIG. 4 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of an applicator (10) for a cosmetic product according to the invention when the applicator (10) is flexed at the level of the bending zone (50) at the level of the wiper (70) , the distal portion (35) of the core (12) can thus serve to clean the wiper (70) using the protuberances (40) associated with this part of the soul.
- a position called “rest” means a position in which no stress is applied to the applicator and therefore that the distal portion (35) and the proximal portion (25) of the applicator (10) are aligned along the longitudinal axis X.
- a so-called “bending” position refers to a position in which the applicator is subjected to the application of a constraint, thus creating an angle between the part distal portion (35) and the proximal portion (25) of the applicator (10).
- the distal portion (35) of the core (via its associated protuberances) allows the user, when applying a constraint on the applicator, to recover a maximum of cosmetic product both at the inner walls of the reservoir and at the wiper, without damaging the applicator.
- the proximal portion (25) of the core (via its associated protuberances) can also contribute to the recovery of said product.
- the applicator (10) for cosmetic product comprises a core (12) having a longitudinal axis (X) and having a first end, said proximal end (22), and a second free end, said distal end (32), as well as a plurality of protuberances (40), said core including at least one bending zone (50) between its distal end (32) and its proximal end (22).
- the flexion zone (50) is adjacent to the proximal portion (25) and the distal portion (35). Thus, each of the ends of the flexion zone (50) merges with either one end of the distal portion (35) or one end of the proximal portion (25).
- the core of the applicator has a circular cross section.
- the diameter of this cross section varies with the longitudinal axis (X), knowing that this diameter is higher in the center of the proximal portion (25) than in the center of the distal portion (35). of said soul and that the smallest diameter is at the center of the zone flexion (50).
- said bending zone (50) is the longitudinal portion of the core whose cross section relative to the longitudinal axis (X) is minimal.
- This larger diameter section of the proximal portion (25) of the core allows a better stability of the applicator (10) and contributes in particular that the distal portion (35) can return to a substantially aligned base position in the longitudinal axis (X) of the core (12) after stopping the stress applied to the applicator, in other words after the use of said applicator.
- the fact that the smallest diameter of section is at the level of the bending zone makes it possible precisely to obtain the desired flexibility and the "elastic" return of the distal portion of the applicator to a rest position, contributing thus solving the technical problem that the present invention seeks to solve.
- the shape of the cross section of the core is not limiting in itself. Although described here as circular, it may also be elliptical, square, rectangular, triangular or any other polygonal shape for example. As shown in FIG. 1, the core (12) extends along a longitudinal axis
- this distal portion located between the distal end (32) and the flexion zone (50), this distal portion having a generally oval shape and a length (L d ) along the longitudinal axis (X) between 5 and 20 mm, with a cross section (or diameter, D d ) measured at the longitudinal center of said distal portion (35) between 1 and 5 mm, more preferably between 2 and 4 mm and even more preferably 3 mm in diameter, and
- a bending zone (50) situated between the proximal end (22) and the distal end (32) of the core, this bending zone having a length (L f ) along the longitudinal axis (X) , between 1 and 3 mm, with a cross section (or diameter, D f ) measured at the longitudinal center of said bending zone (50) between 0.6 and 2.6 mm, more preferably between 1 and 2 mm and even more preferably 1 .6 mm in diameter.
- all the diameters are extremums for the section diameter of the zone or part concerned.
- the section diameter located in the center of this zone, along the longitudinal axis (X) is the minimum diameter.
- the cross-sectional diameter located at the center of one or other of these portions, along the longitudinal axis (X) is the maximum diameter.
- the bending zone (50) intrinsic to the core allows the distal portion (35) of the core (12) to pivot, when applying a stress on the applicator, thus defining at least one axis of pivoting (Y) relative to the longitudinal axis (X) of the core (12) (see Figure 2).
- This pivoting of the distal portion of the applicator in particular participates in the protection of the structure of the applicator during the recovery of the cosmetic product at the inner walls of the reservoir and the level of the wiper.
- the bending zone (50) also allows the distal portion (35) of the web (12) to be bent from a rest position substantially aligned with the longitudinal axis (X) of the web (12) to a bending position between 1 ° and 45 ° with respect to the X axis, when applying a stress on the applicator.
- the flexion zone (50) also allows the distal portion to return to a rest position substantially aligned with the longitudinal axis (X) of the core (12) after stopping a stress applied to the applicator (after using said applicator).
- the bending zone (50) intrinsic to the soul is one. However, it is also conceivable, in a further embodiment, that the number of flexion zones is greater than one.
- the flexion zone (50) is located equidistantly between the proximal end
- said bending zone (50) has a minimum diameter in a portion of the brush located at more than half of the total length (L t ) of the brush, along the longitudinal axis (X) starting from the proximal end (22).
- the protuberances (40) are molded with the core (12).
- the protuberances may be derived from material with the core (12) or molded onto the core (12).
- the core (12) and the protuberances (40) will be molded of plastic material.
- the core (12) and the protuberances (40) may be molded from a material based on LDPE (low density polyethylene).
- 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. This allows for a soul and protuberances with original shapes. It is thus possible to produce, directly and by a single molding operation, the complex shape that will give its characteristics to the core (12).
- the protuberances (40) are preferably arranged in a plurality of rows R1-R12 which extend parallel to the longitudinal extension axis (X) of the core (12). However, it is also conceivable, in a further embodiment, that the number of rows is less than or greater than 12.
- said adjacent rows e.g., R1 and R2 are shifted with respect to each other.
- the protuberances (40) of one row (R1) angularly apart from the protuberances (40) of another row (R2) at least at their base.
- the length of the protuberances (40), from their base located at the core (12) to their free end, is the same, or on the contrary is not not the same, for all the protuberances that includes the applicator.
- 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.
