Description

L'invention concerne les articles de cosmétique.The invention relates to cosmetic articles.

Dans le domaine du maquillage notamment, on connaît de nombreux articles permettant d'appliquer un produit sur une partie du visage. Ces articles comprennent généralement un réservoir de produit. L'obturateur porte un applicateur de produit, qui est plongé dans le réservoir lorsqu'on ferme l'article en vissant l'obturateur sur le réservoir. Pour appliquer le produit sur une partie du visage, on dévisse l'obturateur du réservoir, afin de libérer l'applicateur.In the field of makeup in particular, there are many articles known to apply a product on a part of the face. These items usually include a product tank. The shutter carries a product applicator, which is immersed in the reservoir when closing the article by screwing the shutter on the reservoir. To apply the product on a part of the face, unscrew the shutter of the reservoir, in order to release the applicator.

Un des inconvénients de ces articles est que lors des ouvertures et fermetures, du produit résiduel se dépose à l'intérieur et sur le sommet du col du réservoir. Ces restes s'assèchent et ne sont jamais enlevés, à moins d'un nettoyage manuel de la part de l'utilisateur. Ils peuvent se mélanger au produit à appliquer, gêner la fermeture et l'ouverture de l'article, et lui donnent un aspect déplaisant pour l'utilisateur.One of the disadvantages of these articles is that during openings and closings, residual product is deposited inside and on the top of the neck of the tank. These remains dry up and are never removed unless manual cleaning by the user. They can mix with the product to be applied, hinder the closure and opening of the article, and give it an unpleasant appearance for the user.

JP S60 134404 U décrit un article de cosmétique avec un obturateur. JP S60 134404 U describes a cosmetic article with a shutter.

Un but de l'invention est de préserver la propreté de l'article au cours de son utilisation.An object of the invention is to preserve the cleanliness of the article during its use.

On prévoit à cet effet un article de cosmétique, qui comporte:

  • un réservoir de produit de maquillage comprenant un col présentant un orifice ; et
  • un obturateur présentant au moins un filet de vis et apte à être vissé au réservoir pour en réaliser une fermeture, et présentant en outre au moins un racleur apte à nettoyer le col du réservoir pendant la fermeture de ce dernier.
For this purpose, a cosmetic article is provided, which comprises:
  • a makeup product reservoir comprising a neck having an orifice; and
  • a shutter having at least one thread of screw and adapted to be screwed to the reservoir to achieve a closure, and further having at least one scraper able to clean the neck of the reservoir during the closing thereof.

Ainsi, l'article est autonettoyant. L'utilisateur n'a aucune action particulière à faire par rapport à son utilisation habituelle du produit pour nettoyer le col, car ce nettoyage s'effectue pendant une action classique de fermeture du produit.Thus, the article is self-cleaning. The user has no particular action to make compared to its usual use of the product to clean the neck, because this cleaning is done during a conventional action of closing the product.

Avantageusement, le ou chaque racleur est apte à nettoyer le col en outre pendant une ouverture du réservoir.Advantageously, the or each scraper is able to clean the neck further during an opening of the reservoir.

Ainsi, le nettoyage a lieu à la fois pendant la fermeture et l'ouverture de l'article.Thus, cleaning takes place both during closing and opening of the article.

De préférence, le ou chaque racleur est apte à nettoyer un sommet du col.Preferably, the or each scraper is able to clean a top of the neck.

Ainsi, c'est la partie supérieure du col, c'est-à-dire celle visible par l'utilisateur, qui est nettoyée.Thus, it is the upper part of the neck, that is to say that visible to the user, which is cleaned.

Avantageusement, le ou chaque racleur comprend deux parties, l'une des parties présentant un bord d'extrémité libre du racleur et étant réalisée dans un matériau plus souple que l'autre partie.Advantageously, the or each scraper comprises two parts, one of the parts having a free end edge of the scraper and being made of a softer material than the other part.

Ainsi, le ou chaque racleur se déforme s'il vient en appui contre le réservoir et on assure un bon contact entre le racleur et le réservoir pour un meilleur nettoyage.Thus, the or each scraper deforms if it bears against the reservoir and ensures good contact between the scraper and the reservoir for better cleaning.

De préférence, l'obturateur comprend en outre au moins un logement apte à recueillir le produit enlevé du col par le ou les racleurs.Preferably, the shutter further comprises at least one housing adapted to collect the product removed from the neck by the scraper or scrapers.

Ainsi, le produit est envoyé dans l'obturateur où il ne gêne pas et n'est pas visible par l'utilisateur.Thus, the product is sent into the shutter where it does not interfere and is not visible to the user.

Avantageusement, le ou chaque logement est contigu au(x) racleur(s).Advantageously, the or each housing is adjacent to the scraper (s).

Ainsi, le produit est facilement envoyé dans le ou les logements par le ou les racleurs.Thus, the product is easily sent into the housing (s) by the scraper (s).

De préférence, les racleurs sont au moins au nombre de deux.Preferably, the scrapers are at least two in number.

Avantageusement, l'obturateur comprend un nombre pair de filets de vis et un nombre impair de racleurs, de préférence trois, voire cinq.Advantageously, the shutter comprises an even number of screw threads and an odd number of scrapers, preferably three or even five.

Ainsi, en fonction de la position à laquelle l'utilisateur débute la fermeture de l'obturateur sur le réservoir, l'entrée de filet que l'obturateur emprunte change, et la position des racleurs est modifiée. On améliore ainsi la qualité du raclage car les racleurs se positionnent à des endroits différents dans le temps pour débuter le nettoyage.Thus, depending on the position at which the user starts closing the shutter on the tank, the thread entry that the shutter takes changes, and the position of the scrapers is changed. This improves the quality of scraping because the scrapers are positioned at different places in time to start cleaning.

De préférence, l'article comprend en outre un essoreur disposé au sein du réservoir et dont l'extrémité la plus proche de l'orifice est en retrait de ce dernier.Preferably, the article further comprises a wiper disposed within the reservoir and whose end closest to the orifice is set back from the latter.

Ainsi, l'essoreur n'interfère pas avec l'action de nettoyage des racleurs. De plus, lorsque du produit résiduel est remonté lors de l'ouverture de l'article par l'applicateur, il vient d'abord se loger au-dessus de l'essoreur tout en restant dans le col. Il est alors dissimulé à la vue. Lors de l'ouverture suivante, la sortie de l'applicateur emporte ce produit et le dépose sur le sommet du col. Enfin, lors de la fermeture suivante, les racleurs l'emportent.Thus, the wiper does not interfere with the cleaning action of the scrapers. In addition, when the residual product is raised when the article is opened by the applicator, it is first housed above the wiper while remaining in the neck. It is then hidden from view. At the next opening, the exit of the applicator carries this product and deposits it on the top of the neck. Finally, during the next closing, the scrapers win.

Avantageusement, l'obturateur porte une tige d'applicateur de produit de maquillage, la tige présentant au moins une rainure non perpendiculaire à une direction longitudinale de la tige.Advantageously, the shutter carries a makeup applicator rod, the rod having at least one groove not perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the rod.

Ainsi, on facilite l'évacuation du produit car il peut fluer par les rainures vers l'intérieur du réservoir ou vers le sommet du col.Thus, it facilitates the evacuation of the product because it can flow through the grooves in the tank or to the top of the neck.

On prévoit également selon l'invention un procédé de nettoyage d'un réservoir d'un article de cosmétique selon la revendication 1, comprenant une étape où on ferme l'article en vissant un obturateur sur le réservoir, de sorte qu'au moins un racleur de l'obturateur nettoie un col du réservoir.There is also provided according to the invention a method of cleaning a reservoir of a cosmetic article according to claim 1, comprising a step of closing the article by screwing a shutter on the reservoir, so that at least one Shutter wiper cleans a neck of the tank.

Nous allons maintenant décrire un mode de réalisation de l'invention à titre d'exemple non limitatif et à l'appui des dessins annexés sur lesquels :

  • les figures 1 à 3 illustrent un article de maquillage en perspective selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, l'article étant respectivement fermé, ouvert, et en éclaté ;
  • la figure 4 illustre une vue en coupe axiale de l'article fermé ;
  • la figure 5 illustre une vue à plus grande échelle d'un détail D de la figure 4;
  • les figures 6, 7, 8 et 9 illustrent un corps de l'obturateur de l'article, respectivement de face, en coupe axiale, en perspective centrée sur la partie haute, et de dessus ; et
  • la figure 10 illustre une vue en perspective d'une frette de l'article présentant le col du réservoir ;
  • les figures 11 et 12 illustrent des vues du corps de l'obturateur selon une variante respectivement en coupe axiale et de dessus.
We will now describe an embodiment of the invention by way of non-limiting example and in support of the accompanying drawings in which:
  • the Figures 1 to 3 illustrate a perspective makeup article according to one embodiment of the invention, the article being respectively closed, open, and exploded;
  • the figure 4 illustrates an axial sectional view of the closed article;
  • the figure 5 illustrates a larger-scale view of a detail D of the figure 4 ;
  • the Figures 6, 7 , 8 and 9 illustrate a body of the shutter of the article, respectively of face, in axial section, in perspective centered on the upper part, and from above; and
  • the figure 10 illustrates a perspective view of a hoop of the article having the neck of the reservoir;
  • the Figures 11 and 12 illustrate views of the body of the shutter according to a variant respectively in axial section and from above.

L'article de maquillage 10 illustré à la figure 1 comprend un réservoir 2 de produit 30 et un obturateur 1. L'article présente un axe général 31, référencé à la figure 4, correspondant à sa direction longitudinale. Une fois fermé, l'article 10 présente une forme générale cylindrique à section carré, le carré ayant ses quatre côtés légèrement arrondies. Au milieu de sa longueur, le réservoir présente une base de frette 3 dont l'extérieur est visible. Celle-ci correspond au sommet du réservoir dont elle forme un col 4 visible aux figures 2 et 3. Elle est visible de manière plus détaillée à la figure 10. Le col a une forme générale annulaire et présente un sommet circulaire 14. Le réservoir pourrait avoir une autre forme en section, notamment une forme circulaire, ou toute autre forme géométrique ou non.The makeup article 10 illustrated at figure 1 comprises a reservoir 2 of product 30 and a shutter 1. The article has a general axis 31, referenced to the figure 4 , corresponding to its longitudinal direction. Once closed, article 10 has a generally cylindrical shape with a square section, the square having its four slightly rounded sides. In the middle of its length, the reservoir has a base ring 3 whose outside is visible. This corresponds to the top of the tank which it forms a neck 4 visible to Figures 2 and 3 . It is visible in more detail in the figure 10 . The neck has a generally annular shape and has a circular apex 14. The reservoir could have another shape in section, in particular a circular shape, or any other geometrical shape or not.

La figure 2 illustre l'article en position ouverte. En effet, l'obturateur est dévissé du réservoir, qui présente en l'espèce deux filets 5 au niveau du col 4. L'obturateur porte un applicateur 6 de produit via une tige 7, cylindrique de révolution. L'applicateur 6 est ici une brosse qui est fixée à la tige 7 par enfoncement et serrage.The figure 2 illustrates the article in open position. Indeed, the shutter is unscrewed from the reservoir, which in this case has two threads 5 at the neck 4. The shutter carries a product applicator 6 via a rod 7, cylindrical of revolution. The applicator 6 is here a brush which is fixed to the rod 7 by pressing and tightening.

La brosse 6 est principalement de forme cylindrique de révolution, son rayon étant plus large que celui de la tige 7, et son extrémité libre 8 de forme conique.The brush 6 is mainly cylindrical in shape, its radius being wider than that of the rod 7, and its free end 8 of conical shape.

La brosse peut être d'un type quelconque. Il s'agit en l'espèce d'une brosse de type goupillon comprenant des poils emprisonnés entre deux fils métalliques torsadés. Mais il pourrait aussi s'agir d'une brosse injectée au moyen d'un ou plusieurs matériaux synthétiques et portant des poils et/ou des dents d'une seule pièce avec la tige. L'applicateur pourrait également former un peigne plutôt qu'une brosse. De telles brosses conviennent particulièrement bien lorsque l'article comprend du mascara et sert pour le maquillage des cils ou des sourcils comme c'est le cas en l'espèce.The brush can be of any type. It is in this case a brush-type brush comprising bristles trapped between two twisted metal son. But it could also be a brush injected with one or more synthetic materials and bearing bristles and / or teeth in one piece with the rod. The applicator could also form a comb rather than a brush. Such brushes are particularly suitable when the article includes mascara and is used for makeup eyelashes or eyebrows as is the case here.

Néanmoins l'invention est également applicable à d'autres articles de maquillage tels que du vernis à ongles ou du gloss pour les lèvres. L'applicateur pourra alors être formé par un pinceau utilisé pour les vernis à ongle ou encore par un embout nu ou présentant des poils déposés par flocage.Nevertheless, the invention is also applicable to other make-up articles such as nail polish or lip gloss. The applicator can then be formed by a brush used for nail polish or by a naked tip or having bristles deposited by flocking.

La figure 3 illustre l'article de manière éclatée. On distingue un capuchon 28 formant la partie externe de l'obturateur 1 lorsque l'article est fermé et un corps 9 d'une seule pièce, rigidement fixé au capuchon 28 et dont la partie basse forme la tige 7. Ce corps 9 présente en partie haute une cavité annulaire 11 visible à la figure 7, ouverte vers le bas et présentant sur sa face externe un filetage intérieur 32 muni lui aussi de deux filets et permettant de visser l'obturateur sur le filetage 5 du col 4. Ainsi, le corps 9 a également pour fonction de placer et maintenir une extrémité de la tige 7 dans le capuchon 28.The figure 3 illustrates the article in an exploded way. There is a cap 28 forming the outer part of the shutter 1 when the article is closed and a body 9 in one piece, rigidly fixed to the cap 28 and whose lower part forms the rod 7. This body 9 has upper part an annular cavity 11 visible at the figure 7 , open downwards and having on its outer face an internal thread 32 also provided with two threads and allowing to screw the shutter on the thread 5 of the neck 4. Thus, the body 9 also has the function of placing and holding one end of the rod 7 in the cap 28.

Sur la figure 3 on distingue également un essoreur 12 qui est placé dans le réservoir comme décrit ci-après. Sur les figures 4 et 5, on distingue l'essoreur 12, situé dans le col 4, entre ce dernier et la tige 7. Une extrémité supérieure libre 13 de l'essoreur 12 est située en retrait de l'extrémité supérieure libre 14 du col 4 suivant la direction axiale, comme cela est visible à la figure 5.On the figure 3 there is also a wiper 12 which is placed in the reservoir as described below. On the Figures 4 and 5 , there is the wiper 12, located in the neck 4, between the latter and the rod 7. A free upper end 13 of the wiper 12 is set back from the free upper end 14 of the neck 4 in the axial direction , as can be seen in figure 5 .

L'essoreur effectue l'essorage de l'applicateur lors de sa sortie du réservoir, avant qu'il n'atteigne le col, grâce à un tronçon inférieur tronconique de l'essoreur. Un bord inférieur de ce tronçon assure une fonction d'étanchéité annulaire sur la tige 7 dans sa partie supérieure 15 lorsque l'article est fermé.The wiper wrings the applicator when it leaves the reservoir, before it reaches the neck, thanks to a frustoconical lower section of the wiper. A lower edge of this section provides an annular sealing function on the rod 7 in its upper part 15 when the article is closed.

De plus, lors d'une ouverture, la tige ou l'applicateur dépose du produit 30, référencé à la figure 4, entre l'extrémité 13 de l'essoreur et le sommet 14 du col 4. Lors d'une ouverture suivante, ce produit résiduel est à nouveau emporté par la tige ou l'applicateur et déposé cette fois sur le sommet 14 du col. Ainsi, en deux ouvertures, du produit est amené du réservoir jusqu'au sommet du col. Ce mode de construction donne de bons résultats, néanmoins l'invention s'applique également à un essoreur de type classique, qui est monté dans le col, et qui réalise une étanchéité par une portion tronconique qui reçoit une portion tronconique de la tige. Il peut également se trouver en appui sur le sommet du col. Il se pourrait également que le col du réservoir ne présente aucun essoreur.In addition, during an opening, the rod or the applicator deposits product 30, referenced to the figure 4 between the end 13 of the wiper and the top 14 of the neck 4. At a subsequent opening, this residual product is again carried by the rod or the applicator and this time deposited on the top 14 of the neck. Thus, in two openings, the product is brought from the reservoir to the top of the neck. This method of construction gives good results, nevertheless the invention also applies to a conventional type of wiper, which is mounted in the neck, and which seals by a frustoconical portion which receives a frustoconical portion of the rod. It can also be in support on the top of the pass. It is also possible that the neck of the tank has no wiper.

Les figures 8 et 9 illustrent la partie supérieure du corps 9, logée dans le capuchon 28. Au-dessus de la cavité 11, on distingue quatre éléments de raclage 15, 16, 17 et 18 situés entre un tronçon tronconique central 19 et la paroi externe 27 du corps 9. Ces éléments de raclage présentent chacun une partie centrale 24 dont la largeur augmente entre le tronçon central 19 et la paroi 27. De chaque côté de cette partie centrale, l'élément comprend deux racleurs 25 et 25' inclinés vers la cavité 11. Entre la partie centrale 24 et les racleurs 25 et 25' se trouve un chanfrein 26. Le chanfrein est toutefois facultatif. Il y a donc ici huit racleurs. Quatre racleurs 25 sont orientés dans le sens horaire, les quatre autres référencés 25', sont orientés dans le sens antihoraire. Chaque racleur présente une lèvre formant son extrémité libre et orientée en direction de la cavité 11.The Figures 8 and 9 illustrate the upper part of the body 9, housed in the cap 28. Above the cavity 11, there are four scraping elements 15, 16, 17 and 18 located between a central frustoconical section 19 and the outer wall 27 of the body 9 These scraping elements each have a central portion 24 whose width increases between the central section 19 and the wall 27. On each side of this central portion, the element comprises two scrapers 25 and 25 'inclined towards the cavity 11. Between the central portion 24 and the scrapers 25 and 25 'is a chamfer 26. However, the chamfer is optional. So there are eight scrapers here. Four scrapers 25 are oriented clockwise, the other four referenced 25 'are oriented counterclockwise. Each scraper has a lip forming its free end and oriented toward the cavity 11.

Entre les racleurs et la paroi d'extrémité du capuchon, l'obturateur comprend un logement 33, référencé aux figures 4, 5, 7 et 8, délimité par ces éléments et communiquant avec la cavité 11 par des ouvertures 20, 21, 22, et 23 situées entre les racleurs en direction circonférentielle.Between the scrapers and the end wall of the cap, the shutter comprises a housing 33, referenced to Figures 4, 5 , 7 and 8 delimited by these elements and communicating with the cavity 11 through openings 20, 21, 22, and 23 located between the scrapers in the circumferential direction.

Lors d'une fermeture de l'article, le filetage 32 de l'obturateur coopère avec celui du col 4 pour donner au corps 9 un mouvement hélicoïdal le long de l'axe 31 de l'article. Ainsi, les racleurs 25 et 25' progressent en direction du sommet 14 du col 4 jusqu'à se retrouver sur celui-ci. Lorsque du produit se trouve sur le sommet 14 du col 4, les racleurs 25 ou 25' captent le produit qui est amené à travers les ouvertures 20, 21, 22, et 23 grâce à l'inclinaison des racleurs et déposé dans le logement 33. Ainsi, en vissant dans le sens horaire, les quatre racleurs 25 captent le produit et l'amènent dans le logement 33. En position fermée de l'article, les racleurs demeurent en contact avec le col 4.When closing the article, the thread 32 of the shutter cooperates with that of the neck 4 to give the body 9 a helical movement along the axis 31 of the article. Thus, the scrapers 25 and 25 'progress towards the top 14 of the neck 4 until they end up thereon. When the product is on the top 14 of the neck 4, the scrapers 25 or 25 'capture the product which is passed through the openings 20, 21, 22, and 23 by the inclination of the scrapers and deposited in the housing 33 Thus, by turning clockwise, the four scrapers 25 pick up the product and bring it into the housing 33. In the closed position of the article, the scrapers remain in contact with the neck 4.

C'est pourquoi, lors de l'ouverture de l'article, en dévissant le capuchon dans le sens antihoraire, ce sont les quatre racleurs 25' qui captent cette fois du produit susceptible de se trouver encore sur le col et l'amènent dans le logement 33 de la même façon. Un fonctionnement dans le sens inverse est bien sûr envisageable.Therefore, when opening the article, by unscrewing the cap in the counterclockwise direction, it is the four scrapers 25 'which this time capture the product likely to be still on the neck and bring it into housing 33 in the same way. Operation in the opposite direction is of course conceivable.

Dans une variante illustrée aux figures 11 et 12, le tronçon central 190 présente des stries longitudinales 34 dans sa partie haute. Elles permettent de guider le produit soit vers le col, soit vers le réservoir par fluage ou par écoulement selon la viscosité du produit de maquillage. Elles communiquent ainsi avec le logement 330 afin de recueillir le produit.In a variant illustrated in Figures 11 and 12 , the central section 190 has longitudinal grooves 34 in its upper part. They allow the product to be guided either towards the neck or towards the reservoir by creep or flow depending on the viscosity of the makeup product. They thus communicate with the housing 330 to collect the product.

Dans une variante non illustrée, les racleurs peuvent comprendre une base et une partie d'extrémité libre réalisée en un matériau plus souple que celui de la base, grâce par exemple à un procédé de bi-injection. Ainsi, les racleurs se déforment sensiblement lorsqu'ils viennent en appui contre le sommet 14 du col 4. Le contact entre le racleur et cette partie du réservoir est donc plus important et le raclage est amélioré.In a variant not illustrated, the scrapers may comprise a base and a free end portion made of a softer material than that of the base, for example through a bi-injection process. Thus, the scrapers deform substantially when they bear against the top 14 of the neck 4. The contact between the scraper and this part of the reservoir is greater and scraping is improved.

Enfin, dans une autre variante, l'obturateur comprend un nombre pair de filets de vis, par exemple deux, et un nombre impair de racleurs, par exemple trois. Cela a pour effet d'engendrer un nettoyage différent en fonction de la position à laquelle débute la fermeture de l'obturateur sur le réservoir. En effet, en fonction de la position angulaire de l'obturateur par rapport au réservoir quand l'utilisateur commence à visser, l'un des filets est choisi au lieu des autres, et la position des racleurs au moment où ils entrent en contact avec le produit dépend de ce filet. Si à un autre moment, l'utilisateur débute le vissage à une autre position angulaire, un autre filet est choisi et la position des racleurs est également différente au moment de débuter le nettoyage. Ainsi, le nettoyage est optimisé car tous les racleurs nettoient dans le temps des positions différentes sur le col du réservoir.Finally, in another variant, the shutter comprises an even number of screw threads, for example two, and an odd number of scrapers, for example three. This has the effect of generating a different cleaning depending on the position at which the closure of the shutter on the tank begins. Indeed, depending on the angular position of the shutter relative to the reservoir when the user starts to screw, one of the nets is chosen instead of the others, and the position of the scrapers at the moment they come into contact with the product depends on this net. If at another time, the user starts the screwing to another angular position, another thread is chosen and the position of the scrapers is also different at the time of starting the cleaning. Thus, the cleaning is optimized because all scrapers clean in time different positions on the neck of the tank.

Le corps 9 sera de préférence réalisé dans un matériau synthétique ou plusieurs.The body 9 will preferably be made of a synthetic material or several.

Bien entendu, on pourra apporter à l'invention de nombreuses modifications sans sortir du cadre de celle-ci.Of course, many modifications can be made to the invention without get out of the frame of it.

Le produit correspond à tout type de produit de maquillage. Il peut s'agir d'un gloss ou d'un vernis à ongles.The product corresponds to any type of makeup product. It can be a gloss or a nail polish.

L'invention est également applicable pour un produit de soin, et de façon générale à tout produit de cosmétique.The invention is also applicable for a care product, and in general to any cosmetic product.
