Definitions

  • the invention relates to cosmetic product reservoirs.
  • the document US 2010/0065080 discloses an article for applying mascara having a pen-like configuration. It thus comprises an elongated case and an applicator mounted to slide relative to the case to occupy a retracted position in which it bathes in the mascara reservoir and an extended position in which it allows makeup.
  • An advantage of this configuration is that it allows the article to be used with one hand for makeup, in comparison with common articles in which the brush is mounted on the cap and the latter screwed onto the reservoir so that the user must use both hands to unscrew the cap and access the brush.
  • this product being in contact with air, this promotes its drying, which reduces the life of the article.
  • the document US3428404 describes a cosmetic product article comprising a reservoir.
  • An aim of the invention is to improve articles of cosmetic product.
  • a cosmetic product reservoir according to claim 1 is provided.
  • the product inside the reservoir is not in contact with the applicator of the article.
  • the product and the applicator are not in contact when the article is not in use. This prevents the applicator from bathing in the product and therefore being loaded with an excess of product when it is desired to use it. And it is very easy to isolate the reservoir from the ambient air, except for times when the reservoir is used to supply the applicator with product.
  • the reservoir of the invention could be used for an article having a conventional configuration in which the applicator is rigidly fixed to a cap by means of a rod, this cap serving to close the main part of the case which includes the reservoir.
  • the reservoir has said openings at one of its ends.
  • openings allow the product to be able to come out of the reservoir and to load an applicator which would be located opposite this opening.
  • the reservoir has said openings extending in the direction of the axis.
  • This configuration is particularly advantageous for delivering product to the applicator when the latter occupies a central position in which it is intercepted by this axis.
  • these means comprise a piston, and preferably a spring.
  • This piston makes it possible to apply sufficient pressure to the product so that the product leaves the reservoir when at least one of its openings is open.
  • the reservoir further comprises a valve for closing one or more openings of the reservoir.
  • this valve when this valve is in a closed position of the reservoir, it prevents the product from escaping, isolates the contents of the reservoir from the ambient air and thus preserves its properties by in particular limiting its drying.
  • these return means can comprise one or more return slats.
  • a subject of the present invention is also an article of cosmetic product comprising a reservoir according to the invention.
  • the article is arranged so that the applicator passes from the retracted position to the extended position along a path parallel to the axis.
  • the article comprises means capable of delivering product to the applicator inside the case.
  • this delivery which involves opening the reservoir, takes place without excessively exposing the contents of the latter to the ambient environment, which makes it possible to further preserve the properties of the product.
  • the article is arranged so that the applicator opens the reservoir when it goes from the retracted position to the extended position.
  • the article is arranged so that the reservoir is closed when the applicator reaches the extended position.
  • This characteristic also makes it possible to limit the exposure of the contents of the tank to the ambient air and to preserve the properties of the product.
  • the article is able to deliver a predetermined quantity of product to the applicator.
  • the article is arranged to deliver product to the applicator facing only some of the protuberances or only some of the protuberances.
  • the reservoir is removably mounted in the article.
  • the applicator comprises a body and protuberances mounted to move relative to the body between a retracted position and an extended position in which they extend more outside the body than in the retracted position, the applicator being arranged so as to preferably so that a free end of the protrusions follows a path transverse to the axis from the retracted position to the extended position.
  • the reservoir is particularly suitable for such an applicator because it makes it possible, for example, to coat the applicator with product in the retracted position of the protuberances.
  • the cosmetic product here is mascara for making up the eyelashes.
  • Item 50 includes a "pen” type case. It has a generally elongated shape with an axis 51 with symmetry of revolution about this axis.
  • the case has an outer face 52 of generally cylindrical shape with a circular section in a plane perpendicular to the axis 51.
  • the case externally comprises two parts 47, 48 mounted to be movable in rotation with respect to one another coaxially about the axis 51.
  • part 48 will be designated as the fixed part and the part. part 47 as the moving part.
  • the figures 2A to 2D represent the mascara applicator 11 of the article. This is a brush.
  • the brush comprises a body 1 having an outer face of cylindrical shape with a circular section in a plane perpendicular to the axis 51.
  • the body comprises an elongated support 1 and discs 2, all identical to each other and stacked coaxially with the support for the brush. extend to one end of the support.
  • the disks 2 are in this case 26 in number, this number not being limiting of course.
  • the body also comprises a cap 5 terminating the stack of disks at one end of the latter opposite the support. The external face of the body is therefore formed by that of the support 1, that of the discs 2 and that of the cap 5.
  • the brush includes protuberances which are in this case flexible bristles 3. But they could also be teeth or fingers, which could be relatively rigid.
  • the brush may have a configuration in which the bristles 3 extend entirely inside the body 1 without protruding from the external face of the latter and a configuration in which the bristles project from this face.
  • the figures 4A to 4C show in detail a section of the applicator at the level of any two consecutive discs 2.
  • the discs 2 are nested one inside the other. Each disc comprises for this on one of its faces pads 14, here four in number and on its face opposite cavities in the same number, intended to receive the respective pads of the contiguous disc which follows it in succession.
  • the discs are thus precisely positioned and fixed relative to each other and prevented from rotating relative to each other around the axis or from sliding relative to each other in a direction perpendicular to this axis.
  • Stacked discs can be linked by different means.
  • the discs are glued to each other by their surfaces in contact. The same is true for the cap 5 which is glued to the last disc of the stack and for the support 1 which is glued to the first disc of the stack. A rigid assembly is thus formed, forming the body.
  • the disks 2 are configured so that two contiguous disks define at their interface cells 37 which here are eight in number.
  • Each cell has in this case a frustoconical shape having an axis 53 having an orientation perpendicular to the main axis 51.
  • the widest section of the truncated cone is located at the level of the external face of the body.
  • Each cell 37 has a circular section in a plane perpendicular to its axis 53.
  • the cells have a radial arrangement around the axis 51 and are regularly distributed around the latter.
  • Each cell is formed half by one of the discs and half by the other disc.
  • Each face of one of the discs therefore has recesses in the form of radial half-truncated cones.
  • the recesses of one of the faces of each disc are angularly offset around the axis 51 relative to those of the other face. In fact, otherwise, a very reduced thickness would be obtained for the disc at the level of the bottom of the recesses.
  • the term “crown” denotes the groups of cells extending in the same plane perpendicular to the axis 51.
  • the angular offset of the recesses of each disc causes that of the cells in two consecutive rings of cells. Taking into account the number of cells in each ring, this offset is in this case a 16th turn.
  • the discs have a recess 39 in their center into which the cells 37 open out.
  • each cell 37 receives one bristle 3 and only one so that the bristles and the cells are in the same number.
  • the bristles 3 form rings comprising eight bristles associated with the same plane perpendicular to the axis 51.
  • the bristles extend all around the axis 51, some being diametrically opposed on either side of the axis.
  • the bristles form rows parallel to the axis. The rows are evenly distributed around the axis and the bristles evenly spaced in each row.
  • each hair has a relief in the form of a bead 13, as shown in particular on figure 4A .
  • the bead has a flat face on the side of the bead directed towards the free end of the bristle.
  • the bead extends in a middle portion of the bristle and is therefore located at a distance from each of its ends.
  • the bristles 3 of each crown form a group in which the bristles are attached to one another, here by an internal end of the bristles.
  • the group a visible star configuration in particular on the figure 4A .
  • a group of bristles of this type between two consecutive discs is interposed a group of bristles of this type so that the bristles are housed in the respective cells.
  • the bristles can be in any material usually used in the constitution of mascara applicator brushes.
  • the bristles of the same group of protuberances can be of different materials.
  • the bristles located on different floors do not necessarily have the same composition.
  • Each group of bristles comprises a central ring 12 to which the bristles are bonded.
  • the article comprises a rectilinear rod 4 forming an actuator.
  • the ring 12 has an opening 15 in its center thus allowing the passage of the actuator 4 through each ring. All the rings are thus threaded onto the actuator and are in abutment against each other in the direction of the axis.
  • the central part 12 of a group of bristles 10 of a given stage of the applicator is in contact with the central part of the group of bristles of the upper and / or lower stage, that the protuberances are in position. retracted or protruding as will be seen later.
  • the actuator 4 comprises at its free end end a member 40 for axially locking the rings on the actuator.
  • the actuator 4 is slidably mounted in the body 1 in the direction of the axis 51 so as to cause the bristles of the applicator to pass from a retracted position to an extended position and vice versa.
  • the actuator 4 comprises an extra thickness 8 and the support 1 a shoulder 41 able to cooperate with this extra thickness to determine the end of travel limit of the movement of the actuator in the body associated with the retracted position.

  • a free volume is therefore provided in the cell above the bead and around the pile, a volume which has the general shape of a sleeve. This free volume is intended to be loaded with makeup product as will be seen below.
  • the bristles In the retracted position, the bristles have an "S" shape with two bends. This has the advantage of not requiring the bristles to come out of their socket when they are in the retracted position and of reducing the space required for storing the applicator in the case. To this end, the central space of the discs is provided to be large enough to receive the inner end section of the bristles which is lying parallel to the axis 51.
