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 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 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, which protrusions can be molded with 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 shaft and the applicator.
  • the wiper thus makes it possible to adjust the quantity of product present on the applicator and prevents excessive application of cosmetic product to the eyelashes.
  • the wiper in particular limits the amount of product on the protuberances which extend over a great length from the core. The applicators comprising such protuberances are then used for combing the eyelashes.
  • the structures making it possible to scrape 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 suitable for coming into contact with the rigid walls of the reservoir.
  • 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 large number of parts and additional manufacturing steps.
  • An aim of the present invention therefore consists in providing an applicator allowing the recovery of a maximum of cosmetic product without damaging the applicator.
  • the applicator according to the invention comprises at least one flexion zone intrinsic to the core.
  • the applicator according to the invention is particularly advantageous because it is better suited to recovering the cosmetic product left on the walls of the reservoir and at the level of the wiper. It also has an economic interest linked to the fact that the applicator as such can be stored / used longer without being damaged and also that a greater quantity of cosmetic product is ultimately 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 ball or joint system increasing the number of parts of the applicator assembly, the manufacturing cost and the assembly time.
  • the invention also relates to an applicator assembly (not illustrated) 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).
  • the figure 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 core, said protrusions projecting from the core and having a base located at the level of the core 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, called the proximal end (22) and a second end, called the distal end (32), said core comprising at least one flexion zone (50) between its distal end (32) and its proximal end. (22).
  • the flexion zone (50) during the application of a stress on the applicator, makes it possible to flex the part of the core located between the flexion zone (50) and the distal end (32), called distal part (35), without modifying the orientation of the part of the core located between the proximal part (22) and the flexion zone (50), called the proximal part (25), with respect to the longitudinal axis ( X), as shown in dotted lines on the figure 2 .
  • the figure 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 flexion zone (50) in the reservoir (60), the distal part (35 ) of the core (12) thus being able to scrape the walls of the reservoir (60) using the protuberances (40) associated with this part of the core.
  • the figure 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 flexion zone (50) at the level of the wiper (70), the part distal (35) of the core (12) can thus be used to clean the wiper (70) using the protuberances (40) associated with this part of the core.
  • a so-called “ rest ” position is understood to mean a position in which no stress is applied to the applicator and therefore that the distal part (35) and the proximal part (25) of the applicator (10) are aligned along the longitudinal axis X.
  • a so-called " bending” position means a position in which the applicator is subjected to the application of a stress, thus creating an angle between the part. distal (35) and the proximal part (25) of the applicator (10).
  • the distal part (35) of the core (via its associated protuberances) allows the user, during the application of a stress on the applicator, to recover a maximum cosmetic product both at the level of the internal walls of the reservoir and at the level of the wiper, without damaging the applicator.
  • the proximal part (25) of the core (via its associated protuberances) can also contribute to the recovery of said product.
  • the applicator (10) for a cosmetic product comprises a core (12) having a longitudinal axis (X) and having a first end, called the proximal end (22), and a second free end, called the distal end. (32), as well as a plurality of protuberances (40), said core comprising at least one flexion zone (50) between its distal end (32) and its proximal end (22).
  • the flexion zone (50) is adjacent to the proximal part (25) and to the distal part (35).
  • each of the ends of the flexion zone (50) coincides either at one end of the distal part (35) or at one end of the proximal part (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 greater at the center of the proximal part (25) than at the center of the distal part (35) of said core and that the smallest diameter is at the level of the center of the zone flexion (50).
  • said bending zone (50) is the longitudinal portion of the core whose cross section with respect to the longitudinal axis (X) is minimal.
  • This larger cross-sectional diameter of the proximal part (25) of the core allows better stability of the applicator (10) and contributes in particular to the fact that the distal part (35) can return to a basic position which is substantially aligned. 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. Furthermore, the fact that the smallest section diameter is located at the flexion zone precisely makes it possible to obtain the desired flexibility and the “elastic” return of the distal part of the applicator to a rest position, contributing thus to the resolution of the technical problem that the present invention seeks to solve.
  • proximal part (25) unlike the distal part (35) or the flexion zone (50), combines the greatest length along the longitudinal axis (X) and the greatest diameter of section, makes it possible to reinforce the stability of the applicator (10) as well as the return to a basic position of the distal part (35), as described in the previous paragraph.
  • the shape of the cross section of the core is not limiting in itself. Although it is described here as being circular, it could also be elliptical, square, rectangular, triangular or any other polygonal shape, for example.
  • all the diameters are extremes for the section diameter of the zone or of the part concerned.
  • the section diameter located at 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 the other of these parts, along the longitudinal axis (X) is the maximum diameter.
  • the flex zone (50) intrinsic to the core allows the distal portion (35) of the core (12) to pivot, upon application of stress to the applicator, thereby defining at least one axis of pivoting (Y) with respect to the longitudinal axis (X) of the web (12) (see figure 2 ).
  • This pivoting of the distal part of the applicator contributes in particular to the protection of the structure of the applicator during the recovery of the cosmetic product at the level of the internal walls of the reservoir as well as at the level of the wiper.
  • the flexion zone (50) also allows the distal portion (35) of the core (12) to be flexed from a rest position substantially aligned with the longitudinal axis (X) of the core (12) to a flexion position of between 1 ° and 45 ° relative to the X axis, during the application of a stress on the applicator.
  • the flexion zone (50) also allows the distal part 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 the use of said applicator).
  • the flexion zone (50) intrinsic to the core is one in number. However, it is also conceivable, in an additional exemplary embodiment, for the number of flexion zones to be greater than one.
  • the flexion zone (50) is located equidistant between the proximal end (22) and the distal end (32) of the core (12). However, it is also conceivable, in a further exemplary embodiment, for the flexion zone to be located elsewhere at the level of the core, either more towards the proximal end (22) or more towards the distal end (32). According to a preferred embodiment, 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).
  • Table 1 which follows, presents four particular embodiments according to the invention: TABLE 1: Proximal part (25) Flex zone (50) Distal part (35) Total brush length Length * (L p ) Diameter * at center (D p ) Length * (L f ) Diameter * at center (D f ) Distance * between center diameter and proximal end (22) Length * (L d ) Diameter * at center (D d ) L t * L t / 2 * 1 13.0 4.5 2.0 1.5 14.0 12.0 3.0 27.0 13.5 2 16.0 5.0 2.0 1.6 17.0 12.0 4.0 30.5 15.3 3 14.0 4.0 2.0 1.6 15.0 12.0 2.5 27.5 13.8 4 15.0 5.0 3.0 1.6 16.5 12.0 3.0 30.5 15.3 * All measurements are in millimeters (mm).
