• the invention relates to a device for applying a cosmetic product, in particular mascara, comprising an applicator and a screen, said applicator comprising a plurality of fibers forming an applicator zone.
• the applicator is able to be moved relative to the screen, said screen defining a mesh intended to be traversed by said fibers, said device being configured to vary the deployment of said fibers, from said screen, when applicator is moved relative to the screen.
• the device of the invention makes it possible to vary the deployment, and therefore the rigidity, of the fibers by means of which a user applies a cosmetic product.
• the device of the invention is able to provide makeup effects that can vary. According to various embodiments of the invention, which may be taken together or separately:
• said screen is in the form of a strip
• said strip is substantially flat
• said strip is made of plastic
• said screen is capable of wringing said fibers
• the applicator comprises a core from which said applicator zone extends
• said core has a principal direction of longitudinal extension, called principal direction,
• the applicator is able to be moved relative to the sieve in a translation movement along said main direction
• said fibers extend in said main direction in a retracted position with respect to the screen
• said fibers extend in a fan in an unfolded position with respect to the screen
• the applicator core has, in addition, a proximal end and a distal end opposite said proximal end along said main direction,
• said fibers project from said distal end
• said fibers are divided into a plurality of bundles of fibers by said sieve,
• said translational movement is able to vary the deployment, from said sieve, of said plurality of beams,
• the device of the invention further comprises a body carrying said sieve, in particular at one of the distal ends of said body,
• said applicator is mobile in said body
• said body is a flexible envelope
• the mesh defined by the shapes of the sieve comprises housings for said fibers, said housings being spaced from 300 to 600 microns.
• FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an example of an application device according to the invention comprising an applicator and a screen
• FIG. 2 is a partial view of FIG. 1, the applicator occupying a first position relative to the screen,
• Figure 3 is also a partial view of Figure 1, the applicator occupying a second position relative to the screen.
• the invention relates to a device for applying a cosmetic product, in particular mascara, comprising an applicator 10 and a screen 20.
• the applicator 10 comprises a plurality of fibers 12 forming an applicator zone marked Z in FIGS. 1 to 3.
• the applicator 10 comprises, here, a core 11 from which said applicator zone Z extends.
• Said core 1 1 has a main direction of longitudinal extension, said main direction, and X in Figures 1 to 3.
• the core 1 1 of the applicator 10 has one end proximal 1 6 and a distal end 14 opposite said proximal end 1 6 along said main direction X.
• the applicator 10 may advantageously be a brush, or a comb.
• the fibers 12, taken individually are flexible fibers.
• each fiber 12 is easily deformable, in particular when a user exerts two opposing forces, each at one end of said fiber 12.
• said fibers 12 will form bundles of fibers that have less flexibility compared to that of the fibers 12 taken alone.
• the bundles of fibers will be flexible, while having sufficient rigidity allowing them not to bend under the action of a force, especially when this force is transverse to the X direction.
• By “bend” we mean to form an elbow.
• the bundles of fibers will have a rigidity allowing them to bend, without bending, when they come into contact with a surface to make up.
• Said application zone Z is defined by said bundles of fibers. These form what will be called a fan later, especially using the free ends of said fibers 12.
• said fibers 12 pass through the screen 20. This is permitted because said screen 20 forms a mesh, or a succession of housings 22, for said fibers 12.
• said screen 20 is preferably in the form of a strip, marked B in Figure 1 and that the strip B is substantially flat, that is to say, flat or slightly curved.
• the applicator 10 is able to be moved relative to the screen 20.
• the arrows marked F1, F2 in Figure 1 illustrate this displacement. More specifically, the displacement of the applicator 10 relative to the screen 20 is a translational movement along said main direction X.
• the arrow F1 indicates a direction in which the distal end 14 of the core 1 1 of the applicator 10 is remote from the sieve 20; while the arrow F2 indicates the opposite direction.
• the displacement of the applicator 10 relative to the screen 20 causes the variation of the deployment of said fibers 12, from said screen 20.
• the application zone Z formed by the range of fibers 12 varies according to the position of the applicator 10 with respect to the screen 20.
• FIG. 2 illustrates a first example of a position that the device of the invention can occupy. We will say, later, that the applicator 10 occupies a first position with respect to the screen 20.
• This first position is obtained when the distal end 14 of the core of the applicator 10 is particularly close to said screen 20.
• the fibers 12 then form a fan defining a zone Z of particularly extensive application on both sides of the screen. the X axis. It is the cooperation between the root of said fibers 12 and the housings 22 forming the mesh of the sieve 20 which makes it possible to obtain such arrangement of said fibers 12.
• "Root" means the place from which a fiber 12 projects from the core 1 1.
• the bundles of fibers have a rigidity that allows them to deploy from the housings 22, forming a fan, in particular because said housings are close to each other; that is, these housings 22 will be spaced, for example, from 300 to 600 microns.
• FIG. 2 illustrates a position obtained when the applicator 10 is brought closer to the screen 20, in particular in the direction of arrow F1 of FIG.
• a user actuates the applicator 10 by exerting a thrust at the proximal end 1 6 of the core 1 1, preferably with the help of his fingers. It thus drives the applicator 10 in a translation movement towards the screen 20.
• FIG. 3 illustrates a second example of position that the device of the invention can occupy, called second position thereafter. This second position is obtained when the distal end 14 of the core 1 1 of the applicator 10 is moved away from the screen 20.
• the zone of application Z obtained is then little extended around the main direction X, and the fibers 12 form, from the sieve 20, a more rigid arrangement than the fan mentioned in FIG. 2. This arrangement will be called a retracted fan, as opposed to the expanded fan of Figure 2.
• the distance between the free end of said fibers 12 and the screen 20 is here smaller than in the case of FIG. 2.
• the arrow acting at the free end of each of the fibers 12 when the device the invention occupies said second position is lower than when the device occupies said first position.
• arrow is meant the action of gravity exerted on the free end of the fibers 12. It follows that the Z application zone is no longer a deployed fan, but rather a band of relatively rigid fibers 12. Thus, in this second position, the device of the invention allows precise makeup of the eyes of the user.
• the device of the invention when it occupies said first position, offers possibilities of soft touch makeup, to act on larger areas, this from the first application.
• FIG. 3 thus illustrates a position obtained when the applicator 10 is moved away from the screen 20, in particular in the direction of the arrow F2 of FIG. 1.
• the user actuates the applicator 10 by pulling the core 1 1 by its proximal end 1 6, preferably with the help of his fingers. It thus drives the applicator 10 in a translation movement away from the screen 20. This leads to a gathering of said fibers 12, around the main direction X, to form the narrow Z application zone which is illustrated on the figure 3.
• the device of the invention makes it possible to vary the deployment of the fibers 12, and therefore the application zone Z, according to the wishes of the user.
• the user can vary the deployment of said fibers 12, and therefore the application zone Z, by simply moving the applicator 10 relative to the screen 20 and any position between the two extreme positions provided. is possible.
• the fibers 12 will be, for example, plastic fibers, polyamide, especially nylon type.
• said band B will advantageously be made of plastic. It should be noted, again, that said device can be configured so that the screen 20 serves to wring said fibers 12, for example when they have been loaded with mascara. It should also be noted that the screen 20 may also be configured to cooperate with an elongated wiper, said wiper being adapted to the substantially flat strip B formed by the screen 20.
• the device of the invention will advantageously comprise a body 30 carrying said screen 20 (see FIG. 1).
• This body 30 is here a flexible envelope, for example transparent plastic material.
• the applicator 10 will therefore be mobile in the body 30, which will protect it from the outside.
• the body 30 is rigid, that is to say not deformable under the constraint of the fingers of the user.
• An actuating pin not illustrated here, will then be provided to allow the user to move the applicator 10 relative to said body 30. This means that this actuating pin will be accessible from outside said body 30 and that it will be mechanically linked to said applicator 10 which will be inside the body 30.
• Said device may be configured so that said fibers 12 extend, in total, in said main direction X in a fully retracted position relative to the screen 20. They are then advantageously retracted into said body 30.
