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.
  • 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 limits, in particular, the amount of product present on the protuberances.
  • Two parameters interact for this purpose.
  • 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.
  • the protuberances used as comb teeth must have a certain rigidity. Therefore, the free end of this type of protuberances may have a peak effect that should be avoided; the peak effect is understood here as a stinging sensation on the eyelash or eyelid of a user.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an applicator which gives the user a feeling of softness.
  • the invention relates to an applicator for a cosmetic product comprising a core having a principal longitudinal extension direction, said principal direction, and a plurality of protuberances projecting from said core in a direction normal to said main direction.
  • At least one of said protuberances comprises a first portion having a proximal end in contact with the core and an opposite distal end along said normal direction, and a second portion having a proximal end at the distal end of said first portion and a free distal end, said second portion being angularly offset from said first portion so that said first and second portions are on either side of a plane containing said main direction.
  • the applicator of the invention is particularly advantageous because it makes it possible to provide an applicator whose protuberances can be used for combing the eyelashes, for example with the aid of said first portion, without said protuberances being too rigid, for example in providing a second portion angularly offset from said first portion.
  • the combination of these two portions gives the protuberance a dual function, that of combing via the first portion which is rigid, and that of charging a cosmetic product, via the second portion, which provides flexibility to the protuberance and thus promotes the deposition. of cosmetic product on the eyelashes. Therefore, the combination of two protrusion portions makes it possible to make the product application on the eyelashes of the user both effective and pleasant.
  • 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 fixed on the container, so that the applicator is housed inside the tank.
  • the invention relates to an applicator 10 for a cosmetic product comprising a core 12 having a principal longitudinal extension direction, called the main direction, and marked X in the figures.
  • the core 12 may be straight or curved, this without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • said main direction X is defined by the main longitudinal extension direction of the core, namely a median direction to the curve drawn by said curved core.
  • the applicator 10 of the invention also comprises a plurality of protuberances 20 projecting from said core 12 in a direction normal to said main direction X. Said normal direction is marked Y in the figures.
  • a plan P, as illustrated in figure 4 contains said main direction X and said normal direction Y.
  • a plurality of protuberances 20 protruding from said core 12 in a direction normal to said main direction X does not exclude protuberances inclined with respect to said main direction, for example towards the front or towards the back of the applicator 10 (examples not shown here).
  • a plurality of protuberances protruding from said soul in one direction normal to said main direction X means: a plurality of projections protruding, in particular in a plane containing said main direction X.
  • At least one of said protuberances 20 comprises a first portion 21 having a proximal end 23 in contact with the core 12 and an opposite distal end 24 along said normal direction Y (see figures 3 and 4 ), and a second portion 22 having a proximal end 25 at the distal end 24 of said first portion 21 and a free distal end 26 along said normal direction Y (see FIG. figures 3 and 4 ).
  • Portion is understood to mean a protuberance portion 20 extending over a portion of the radial extension of said protuberance, in particular along said normal direction Y.
  • the first portion 21 extends over a portion length of the order of 1.25mm between its proximal end 23 and its distal end 24, while the second portion 22 extends over a length of about 1.5mm from its proximal end 25.
  • This difference radial extension between said first and second portions 21, 22 makes it possible to define envelopes E1, E2, distinct, the distal ends 24, 26 of said first and second portions 21, 22 forming said envelopes E1, E2.
  • a second portion 22 having a proximal end 25 at the distal end 24 of said first portion 21 means that the distal end 24 of the first portion 21 and the proximal end 25 of the second portion 22 are offset relative to each other while sharing a common area, which area is not limited to a point.
  • the plurality of protuberances 20 consists, here, of protuberances 20 comprising a said first portion 21 and a second portion 22.
  • said plurality of protuberances 20 is arranged in rows substantially parallel to said main direction X.
  • the applicator 10 advantageously comprises 12 rows of protuberances 20 angularly offset around the main direction X, for example a constant angle of the order of 30 °.
  • the applicator 10 of the invention may comprise a number of different rows, for example between 6 and 24 rows, without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the adjacent rows of protuberances 20 are here represented in staggered rows, which explains why the Figure 3 has only 6 protuberances 20.
  • the succession of protuberances 20 along said rows makes it possible to form envelopes E1, E2 with original shapes, such as those illustrated on FIG. figure 1 , in particular a core-shaped envelope E1 and a cylinder-shaped envelope E2, advantageously imbricated inside the envelope E2.
  • envelopes E1, E2 are formed by varying the radial extension of the first and second portions relative to one another.
  • the protuberances 20 succeeding along the main direction X may have first portions 21 having radial extensions, between their proximal end 23 and their distal end 24, which evolve between 1mm and 2mm, for example.
  • the envelope E1 formed here by the distal ends 24 of the first portions 21 of the protuberances 20 makes it possible to curve the eyelashes thanks to its concave shape.
  • This concave shape is obtained by the evolution of the radial extension of the first portions 21 of the successive protuberances 20, vis-à-vis the second portion 22 of the same protuberances 20.
  • the envelope E2 allows it to load the eyelashes because it is formed by the distal ends 26 of the second portions 22, provided more flexible than the first portions 21.
  • Said envelopes E1, E2 are perceptible to the eye and to the touch, for a user, in particular because said first and second portions 21, 22 of each protuberance 20 are angularly offset.
  • said first and second portions 21, 22 belong to a protuberance which extends in said normal direction Y.
  • Said second portion 22 is advantageously angularly offset with respect to said first portion 21 so that said first portion 22 and second portions 21, 22 are on either side of a plane P containing said principal direction X and said normal direction Y (see in particular the figure 4 ).
  • the plane P is that which contains said main direction X and said normal direction Y.
  • said second portion 22 is advantageously angularly offset with respect to said first portion 21", a second portion 22 which overlaps the first portion 21, at least over a portion of its length of radial extension, for example, on a 0.5mm length (see reference I on the figure 3 ).
  • the second portion 22 is added at the distal end 24 of the first portion 21, an end here being a dot area and not a single point.
  • the second portion 22 originates at the distal end 24 of the first portion 21.
  • the protrusion 20 has an extra thickness along its radial extension, at the distal end 24 of said first portion 21 and the proximal end 25 of the second portion 22.
  • This extra thickness results from the addition of the thicknesses e24 and e25, measured in a transverse plane which is substantially orthogonal to the main direction X, at the distal end 24 of the first portion 21 for e24, and at the level of the proximal end 25 of the second portion 22 for e25 (see figure 2 ).
  • Predicting the angular offset of the second portion 22 relative to said first portion 21 on either side of a plane P containing said main direction X and said normal direction Y makes it possible to avoid any deterioration of the protuberance 20, in particular during its passage through a wringer.
  • the extra thickness generated by said angular offset forms a step, or a bead of material in a given plane, so as not to collide with said wiper.
  • said excess thickness is provided in a particular orientation, so as to form relief in a transverse plane, orthogonal to the main direction X (for example the plane of the section AA, or the plane of the sheet for the figure 3 ) and not in the plane P.
  • the protrusion 20 forms at least one stall between the distal end 24 of the first portion 21 and the proximal end 25 of the second portion 22, said stall being observable only in a transverse plane and substantially orthogonal to the direction main X.
  • the spinning of an applicator 10 according to the invention being by displacement of the applicator 10 along said main direction X, the second portion 22 of the protrusion 20 will not be torn off during its passage from the applicator 10 through the wiper because not creating a hard point in this direction of spinning.
  • the protrusion 20 is oriented so that the second portion 22 is not deformed during the spin, or so that the second portion 22 is only slightly deformed during the spin; here, the second portion 22 is not arranged in the spin direction X.
  • the applicator 10 of the invention may also include a plurality of protuberances 30 which have only one portion, this without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • Said protuberances 30, referred to as single-portion protuberances, are here provided at said proximal ends 13 and distal ends 14 of the core 12. These protuberances 30 create a precise makeup area for the user, in particular at the level of the distal end 14 of the core 12.
  • said first and second portions 21, 22 each have a planar face, respectively F1, F2.
  • Said flat faces F1, F2 are advantageously coincident with the plane P containing said main direction X and said normal direction Y; this explains why the extra thickness, the step, the off-hook, or the relief, existing along the radial extension of said protuberance 20, is not visible in said plane P.
  • the section of each of said first and second portions 21, 22 is substantially semicircular (see figure 2 ).
  • Said first and second portions 21, 22 may, in addition, be of constant section along the radial direction Y, or have a section of constant shape but with dimensions that change.
  • the section of each of said first and second portions 21, 22 is substantially semicircular, and has dimensions which decrease along the normal direction Y, from the core 12 to the distal end 26, so as to forming portions 21, 22 of frustoconical protuberances.
  • first and second portions 21, 22, both in terms of their diameter and their length, may be different.
  • the seconds portions 22 will have dimensions smaller than those of the first portions 21. They will then be less rigid, or even more flexible than the first portions 21.
  • said first and second portions 21, 22 will have a different flexibility.
  • the applicator 10 of the invention gives a feeling of softness to the user with said second portion 22 which is at the distal end of said protuberance 20.
  • the core 12 will be provided with plastic material, preferably obtained by injection molding.
  • the protuberances 20, 30 will advantageously be molded with the core 12.
  • the protuberances 20, 30 may be of material with the core 12 or molded onto the core 12.
  • the core 12 and the protuberances 20, 30 will be molded of plastic material.
  • the core 12 and the protuberances 20, 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.
  • This arrangement protects the storage area or zones Z24, Z25 during spinning, in particular because the spin direction coincides with said main direction X.
  • the protuberances 20 are positioned so that the flat faces F1, F2 of two adjacent protuberances 20 are oriented in the same direction of rotation.
  • the applicator 10 advantageously forms a brush.
  • the invention further relates to an applicator assembly for a cosmetic product, comprising a container (not shown here) comprising a body forming a reservoir for containing the cosmetic product, and an applicator 10 as described above, adapted to be fixed on the container, so that the applicator 10 is housed inside the tank.
  • the performance of the applicator 10 of the invention will be optimized if it is used with a particularly fluid cosmetic product formula.
  • envelopes E1, E2 differ from those described above, for example the envelope E1 formed by the distal ends 24 of the first portions 21 may be of any other shape, for example of cylindrical shape, while that of the envelope E2 formed by the distal ends 26 of the second portions 22 will be in the form of a core when said applicator 10 is viewed from the front.
