Definitions

  • the present invention relates to devices for packaging and applying eyeliner.
  • some comprise a container provided with a threaded neck on which can be fixed a closure cap which carries a rod provided at the end with an applicator tip, generally made by injection of thermoplastic material, and with a flocking coating.
  • a wringing member is usually placed in the neck to wipe the shank and reduce the amount of product removed upon removal of the applicator.
  • the application EP 1 336 353 describes an eyeliner applicator having a rod and an applicator tip carried by the rod, comprising at least two applicator tips for drawing lines of different thicknesses.
  • the application FR 2 979 207 discloses an eyeliner applicator whose application surface is non-planar.
  • the invention aims to meet this need and it achieves this by proposing a device for packaging and applying eyeliner, comprising:
  • an applicator tip defining an application surface for applying the eyeliner contained in the container, having at least one cavity emerging on the application surface and of elongate shape along a longitudinal axis;
  • the cavity being bordered laterally by two walls whose free edges on the side of the application surface are of convex shape about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cavity.
  • the region of the application surface of the applicator tip, having the cavity, is advantageously convex towards the outside.
  • the cavity opens on an outwardly curved application surface. Thanks to the presence of the cavity, the user can easily draw a line splitting during the application.
  • the user can begin by bringing into contact with the eyelid the curved portion of the applicator tip, extending out of the cavity, to draw a solid line.
  • the user can move the tip on the skin by changing the inclination of the tip relative to the skin, so as to bring into contact with fear the two aforementioned walls located on either side of the cavity. This allows to split the line. It is thus possible to draw, for example, a single line inside the eye splitting evenly and equidistantly on the rest of the eyelid.
  • the cavity can be through or not.
  • the cavity may extend over only a portion of the length of the region of the application surface on which it opens. Alternatively, the cavity extends over the entire length of the region of the application surface on which it opens.
  • the longitudinal axis of the cavity is different from the longitudinal axis of the body and / or the applicator tip.
  • the cavity may extend along a longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the applicator tip.
  • the cavity extends along a non-parallel longitudinal axis, in particular perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the applicator tip.
  • the cavity When the cavity is not through, its axis may be substantially parallel to, or even coincident with, the longitudinal axis of the applicator tip. When the cavity is through, its axis may be non-parallel to the longitudinal axis of the applicator tip. In particular, the axis of the cavity may be transverse to the longitudinal axis of the applicator tip, being for example perpendicular to it.
  • the applicator tip may have at least two lateral facets located on either side of a facet presenting the cavity, these different facets being delimited by edges.
  • the cavity may open into a region at the distal end of the applicator tip.
  • the applicator tip may have only convex surfaces towards the outside, at the applicator portion engaging with the skin during makeup.
  • the applicator tip may have a general ball shape.
  • the cavity may result in a region of the application surface of variable or constant width measured perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the applicator tip.
  • the width of the cavity is preferably variable, this width increasing from one of its ends towards its other end, through a maximum, for example halfway through about length, then decreasing towards the other end.
  • the width of the cavity may increase towards the distal end of the applicator tip, pass through a maximum, then decrease from this maximum towards the distal end.
  • the cavity can thus have a form of drop.
  • the width of the cavity decreases continuously towards the distal end of the applicator tip.
  • the cavity may in this case in particular have a triangular shape.
  • the width of the cavity is constant.
  • the cavity can be defined by two oblique sides diverging outwards and joining at the bottom of the cavity.
  • the width of the cavity may be between 1 mm and 6 mm, better between 2 mm and 4 mm.
  • the largest transverse dimension of the cavity may be between 1 mm and 10 mm, better between 3 mm and 6 mm.
  • the length of the cavity measured between its ends along its longitudinal axis, may be between 1 mm and 10 mm, better still between 3 mm and 6 mm.
  • the depth of the cavity measured between its bottom and its apex, perpendicular to its longitudinal axis, may be between 1 mm and 10 mm, better still between 3 mm and 6 mm.
  • the cavity can lead to a region having, in longitudinal section, a radius of curvature greater than 1 mm, more preferably 10 mm.
  • the applicator tip may be symmetrical with respect to a first median plane of symmetry, passing through the longitudinal axis of the cavity.
  • the applicator tip may be symmetrical with respect to a second plane of symmetry, cutting the cavity transversely at mid-length
  • a symmetrical form of applicator tip makes it possible to make up identically the right eye or the left eye.
  • the applicator tip is preferably of felt, that is to say that it comprises longitudinally oriented fibers and bonded together.
  • the product can then diffuse by capillarity into the applicator tip, because of its porosity, and the applicator tip can be fixed permanently on a container containing the eyeliner.
  • the fibers may be fibers made of thermoplastic material, in particular acrylic polymer, polyester or polyamide.
  • the fibers may be of less than 1 denier, preferably between 0.5 and 0.9 denier, in particular 0.7 denier (about 9 microns).
  • the fibers may be nylon ® .
  • the cavity may be made by machining, including milling, or punching a blank.
  • the applicator tip can be without opening or recess on its surface for application.
  • the applicator tip may thus have no concave edge outwards at its end, nor any groove or groove.
  • the applicator tip may have a narrowing of its cross-section, between an applicator portion defining the application surface and a fitting tip of the applicator tip in the body of an applicator pen or in an applicator shaft.
  • the distal end of the applicator tip is preferably located on the longitudinal axis of the applicator tip, the latter being preferably also rectilinear.
  • the invention further relates to a process for making up the eyelid, comprising the step of applying, using a device according to the invention, a line of eyeliner splitting on the eyelid, during the application.
  • the line may be simple on the side of the inner corner of the eye, towards the nose, and split outward.

  • the region 30 of the application surface 25 on which the cavity 31 opens outwardly is curved.
  • the cavity 31 is through, opening on the region 40 of the application surface 25 opposite to the aforementioned region 30.
  • the cavity 31 is non-traversing.
