La partie applicatrice de la pointe applicatrice peut ĆŖtre de toute forme, Ć©tant notamment de forme effilĆ©e vers son extrĆ©mitĆ© distale, par exemple d'enveloppe conique. Ā The applicator portion of the applicator tip may be of any shape, in particular having a tapered shape towards its distal end, for example a conical envelope.
La pointe applicatrice peut ĆŖtre symĆ©trique par rapport Ć  un plan mĆ©dian de symĆ©trie, passant par son axe longitudinal. Une forme symĆ©trique peut permettre de maquiller plus facilement de faƧon identique l'œil droit et l'œil gauche. Ā The applicator tip may be symmetrical about a median plane of symmetry, passing through its longitudinal axis. A symmetrical shape can make it easier to make up the right eye and the left eye more easily.
La pointe applicatrice est rĆ©alisĆ©e en feutre, c'est-Ć -dire qu'elle comporte des fibres synthĆ©tiques ou naturelles orientĆ©es toutes sensiblement dans la mĆŖme direction, notamment selon l'axe longitudinal de la pointe, et liĆ©es entre elles. Ā The applicator tip is made of felt, that is to say that it comprises synthetic or natural fibers all oriented substantially in the same direction, in particular along the longitudinal axis of the tip, and linked together.
Il peut s'agir de fibres en matiĆØre thermoplastique, notamment en polymĆØre acrylique, en polyester ou polyamide, ou en polyurĆ©thane poreux. Les fibres peuvent ĆŖtre de titre infĆ©rieur Ć  1 denier, de prĆ©fĆ©rence compris entre 0,5 et 0,9 denier, notamment 0,7 denier (soit 9 microns environ). Les fibres peuvent ĆŖtre en NylonĀ®. It may be fibers made of thermoplastic material, in particular acrylic polymer, polyester or polyamide, or porous polyurethane. The fibers may be 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 Ā® .
Les rainures obliques coupent certaines fibres et modifient ainsi la diffusion du produit par capillaritĆ© au sein de la pointe applicatrice. En particulier, il est possible en jouant sur la disposition de la ou des rainures d'influer sur la rĆ©partition du produit sur la surface d'application. On peut notamment favoriser une diffusion jusqu'Ć  la pointe au sein des fibres non interrompues par la ou les rainures, et ralentir la diffusion du produit en surface, dans les fibres interrompues par la ou les rainures. Cela peut permettre de gagner en prĆ©cision en permettant de tracer un trait fin sans bavure avec la pointe, si on le souhaite. Ā The oblique grooves cut some fibers and thus modify the diffusion of the product by capillarity within the applicator tip. In particular, it is possible by varying the arrangement of the groove or grooves to influence the distribution of the product on the application surface. In particular, it is possible to promote diffusion to the tip within the uninterrupted fibers by the groove or grooves, and to slow down the diffusion of the surface product into the fibers interrupted by the groove or grooves. This can increase accuracy by allowing to draw a thin line without burr with the tip, if desired.
La pointe applicatrice est, de prƩfƩrence, rƩalisƩe par dƩcoupe d'une Ʃbauche cylindrique monobloc, notamment Ơ l'aide d'un outil de coupe mobile et orientable selon toutes les directions de l'espace. The applicator tip is preferably made by cutting a one-piece cylindrical blank, in particular by means of a mobile and orientable cutting tool according to all directions in space.
La pointe applicatrice est, de prĆ©fĆ©rence, imbibĆ©e du produit cosmĆ©tique Ć  appliquer, notamment d'eyeliner. Ceci peut permettre au produit de diffuser facilement par capillaritĆ©. Les fibres permettent de transporter le produit le long de la pointe applicatrice. Ā The applicator tip is preferably soaked with the cosmetic product to be applied, in particular eyeliner. This may allow the product to easily diffuse by capillarity. The fibers are used to transport the product along the applicator tip.
La ou les rainures longitudinales ou obliques peuvent ĆŖtre rĆ©alisĆ©es par usinage de l'Ć©bauche, par dĆ©formation ou par chauffage. Ā The longitudinal groove or grooves may be made by machining the blank, by deformation or by heating.
En dehors de la ou des rainures, la pointe applicatrice peut ĆŖtre sans ajour ni renfoncement sur sa surface servant Ć  l'application. La pointe applicatrice peut ainsi ne prĆ©senter aucune arĆŖte concave vers l'extĆ©rieur Ć  son extrĆ©mitĆ© distale. La pointe applicatrice peut prĆ©senter un rĆ©trĆ©cissement de sa section transversale, entre la partie applicatrice dĆ©finissant la surface d'application et un embout de montage de la pointe applicatrice dans le corps d'un stylo applicateur ou dans une tige d'un applicateur. Apart from the groove or grooves, the applicator tip may be without opening or recess on its surface for the application. The applicator tip may thus have no concave edge outwardly at its distal end. The applicator tip may have a narrowing of its cross-section, between the applicator portion defining the application surface and a fitting tip of the applicator tip in the body of an applicator pen or in a rod of an applicator.
L'extrĆ©mitĆ© distale de la pointe applicatrice est de prĆ©fĆ©rence situĆ©e sur l'axe longitudinal de la pointe applicatrice, ce dernier Ć©tant de prĆ©fĆ©rence rectiligne. Ā The distal end of the applicator tip is preferably located on the longitudinal axis of the applicator tip, the latter preferably being rectilinear.

Ā The body 11 carries an applicator tip 20 according to the invention, examples of which are shown in isolation in FIGS. 2 to 14, which can be fixed by any means adapted to the body 11 and which is for example forced into a corresponding housing. provided at the upper end of the body 11, communicating with the reservoir.
Cette pointe applicatrice 20 est de prĆ©fĆ©rence rĆ©alisĆ©e entiĆØrement en feutre, notamment en fibres synthĆ©tiques ou naturelles orientĆ©es toutes sensiblement dans la mĆŖme direction, notamment selon l'axe longitudinal X de la pointe 20, et assemblĆ©es pour former un feutre. Ā This applicator tip 20 is preferably made entirely of felt, especially synthetic or natural fibers all oriented substantially in the same direction, in particular along the longitudinal axis X of the tip 20, and assembled to form a felt.
La pointe applicatrice 20 prĆ©sente un embout de montage 21 qui sert Ć  sa fixation dans le corps 11 et une partie applicatrice 22 qui sert Ć  l'application, en venant au contact de la peau pour y dĆ©poser de l'eyeliner qui imprĆØgne le feutre. Ā The applicator tip 20 has a mounting tip 21 which serves to fix it in the body 11 and an applicator portion 22 which serves for application, coming into contact with the skin to deposit eyeliner which impregnates the felt.
L'embout 21 peut prƩsenter une partie proximale 70 chanfreinƩe, comme reprƩsentƩ aux figures 9 Ơ 11. La pointe applicatrice 20 s'Ʃtend selon un axe longitudinal Y qui est, dans les exemples dƩcrits, confondu avec l'axe longitudinal X du corps 11 du dispositif 10. The tip 21 may have a chamfered proximal portion 70, as shown in FIGS. 9-11. The applicator tip 20 extends along a longitudinal axis Y which is, in the examples described, coincident with the longitudinal axis X of the body 11 of the device 10.
La pointe applicatrice 20 est alimentĆ©e en produit par son extrĆ©mitĆ© proximale 23 et le produit peut diffuser longitudinalement dans celle-ci, selon l'axe Y, jusqu'Ć  atteindre la partie applicatrice 22 destinĆ©e Ć  venir en contact avec la peau. Ā The applicator tip 20 is supplied with product by its proximal end 23 and the product can diffuse longitudinally therein along the Y axis until it reaches the applicator portion 22 intended to come into contact with the skin.
L'embout de montage 21 prĆ©sente, dans les exemples dĆ©crits, une forme symĆ©trique de rĆ©volution autour de l'axe Y, de section circulaire. Le plus grand diamĆØtre de l'embout de montage 21 est par exemple compris entre 4 et 6 mm et est par exemple Ć©gal Ć  5 mm. Ā The mounting end 21 has, in the examples described, a symmetrical shape of revolution around the axis Y, of circular section. The largest diameter of the mounting tip 21 is for example between 4 and 6 mm and is for example equal to 5 mm.
La partie applicatrice 22 dĆ©finit une surface d'application 25 prĆ©sentant, dans l'exemple des figures 1 et 2, une rainure oblique 31 s'Ć©tendant selon un axe T non perpendiculaire Ć  l'axe longitudinal Y de la pointe applicatrice 20 et non contenu dans un plan contenant l'axe longitudinal Y. Ā The applicator part 22 defines an application surface 25 having, in the example of FIGS. 1 and 2, an oblique groove 31 extending along an axis T not perpendicular to the longitudinal axis Y of the applicator tip 20 and not contained. in a plane containing the longitudinal axis Y.
Dans l'exemple considĆ©rĆ©, la rainure oblique forme une gorge annulaire s'Ć©tendant tout autour de l'axe longitudinal Y de la pointe applicatrice 20. Ā In this example, the oblique groove forms an annular groove extending around the longitudinal axis Y of the applicator tip 20.
Dans la variante de la figure 3, la surface d'application 25 prĆ©sente deux rainures obliques 31 et 32 formant chacune une gorge annulaire. Ā In the variant of Figure 3, the application surface 25 has two oblique grooves 31 and 32 each forming an annular groove.

Dans cet exemple, une tangente Tt Ć  un bord 43 de la rainure 31 ou 32 est orientĆ©e obliquement par rapport Ć  l'axe longitudinal Y de la pointe applicatrice 20, en au moins un point de celle-ci. In the examples of Figures 1 to 4, the edges of the grooves 31 and 32 are parallel to each other. In the variant of Figure 5, the edges of the grooves 31 and 32 follow corrugations, for example regular. In this example, a tangent T t at an edge 43 of the groove 31 or 32 is oriented obliquely with respect to the longitudinal axis Y of the applicator tip 20, at at least one point thereof.
Dans l'exemple de la figure 5, l'embout de montage 21 de la pointe applicatriceĀ In the example of Figure 5, the mounting tip 21 of the applicator tip
20 prĆ©sente Ć©galement une rainure oblique 32. La prĆ©sence d'une ou plusieurs rainures sur l'embout de montage 21 peut avoir comme avantage de donner plus de souplesse Ć  l'applicateur lors de l'application, de faire plier la pointe pour l'incliner, et apporte une esthĆ©tique agrĆ©able grĆ¢ce Ć  la continuitĆ© avec la partie applicatrice 22. 20 also has an oblique groove 32. The presence of one or more grooves on the mounting tip 21 may have the advantage of giving more flexibility to the applicator during application, to bend the tip for the tilting, and brings a pleasant aesthetic through continuity with the applicator portion 22.
Dans la variante reprĆ©sentĆ©e Ć  la figure 6, la rainure oblique 34 suit un trajet hĆ©licoĆÆdal autour de l'axe longitudinal Y, avec un trajet qui dĆ©croit au rapprochement de l'extrĆ©mitĆ© distale. Dans la variante de la figure 9, la surface d'application 25 de la partie applicatrice 22 prĆ©sente deux rainures 34 et 36 suivant le trajet de deux hĆ©lices se croisant autour de l'axe longitudinal Y de la pointe applicatrice 20. In the variant shown in Figure 6, the oblique groove 34 follows a helical path about the longitudinal axis Y, with a path that decreases to the approximation of the distal end. In the variant of Figure 9, the application surface 25 of the applicator portion 22 has two grooves 34 and 36 along the path of two helices crossing around the longitudinal axis Y of the applicator tip 20.

La prĆ©sence de rainures longitudinales peut permettre d'interrompre sur une plus grande longueur les fibres constituant le feutre que les rainures obliques. De plus, cela peut permettre de prĆ©server des zones sur la surface d'application dĆ©finies par des fibres non interrompues, susceptibles d'apporter davantage de produit. Ā The presence of longitudinal grooves may allow to interrupt on a longer length the fibers constituting the felt than the oblique grooves. In addition, it can help to preserve areas on the application surface defined by uninterrupted fibers, likely to bring more product.
