Definitions

  • the invention relates to cosmetic product applicators.
  • Articles are known for applying mascara comprising a mascara reservoir and a cap to which a brush is integrally linked. In the closed position, the brush bathes in the tank. When using, it is best to remove excess mascara from the bristles of the brush.
  • the article includes a wringer at the inlet of the reservoir.
  • the brush comes out of the reservoir loaded with product in particular at the base of the bristles and around the core of the brush.
  • this product is little used for making up the eyelashes.
  • in contact with air it tends to dry on the brush, which may alter the properties of the brush over time and reduce the life of the article.
  • WO 2010/066748 describes a cosmetic product applicator.
  • One aim of the invention is therefore to have greater control over the loading of the applicator with the product.
  • an applicator according to claim 1 is provided according to the invention.
  • the loading of the protuberances with product is limited to an end portion thereof.
  • the eyelashes preferably come into contact during makeup. Consequently, it is ensured that most of the product placed on the applicator is actually used for makeup. This reduces waste. It also reduces the risk of the product drying out on the brush and extends the life of the brush.
  • protuberances according to the invention should be understood as being protuberances having a makeup role.
  • one of the advantages of the mobility of the protuberances and in particular of their ability to extend inside the body of the applicator is that it saves space when the applicator is stored inside the applicator. article, which thus makes it possible to produce such articles with reduced bulk.
  • the bead may in particular be present on a middle portion of the protuberance. It allows the protrusion to carry over the bead a greater amount of product as the protrusion moves from the retracted position to the extended position.
  • the protuberances will for example be hairs, teeth, fingers or other similar reliefs.
  • the applicator is arranged so that at least some of the protuberances extend fully into the body in the retracted position.
  • the applicator is arranged so that all the protuberances extend fully into the body in the retracted position.
  • the size of the applicator is further reduced, in particular when the latter is stored inside the article.
  • the protuberances form groups of protuberances extending in the same plane perpendicular to the axis, the protuberances of each group being interconnected by one end of the protuberances internal to the body.
  • connection between the internal ends of the protuberances of the same group can be done in different ways. This connection can for example be made directly between the ends. This connection can also be done indirectly. In this case, the ends of the protuberances of the same group are each linked to a central element.
  • the groups of protrusions exhibit a conformation other than a star conformation.
  • the choice of configurations that can be given to the applicator is thus increased.
  • the body comprises stacked disks.
  • discs can be linked together by various known means. They can for example be glued, welded, or nested. Each disc may for example have on one face one or more reliefs and on its other face one or more cavities. The relief (s) of the disc fit into the cavity (s) of a contiguous disc.
  • the groups extend between the disks.
  • the body has cells for receiving the protuberances, at least part of the cells having a free volume capable of receiving product when the protuberance is in the retracted position in the cell.
  • the free volume is therefore chosen, so that these cells receive larger or smaller quantities of cosmetic product.
  • the volume of the latter can be increased, and vice versa when it is desired to reduce the quantity, or even to make it zero.
  • the bead is preferably present on the portion of the protuberance located inside the cell in the retracted position. It therefore makes it possible to delimit a free volume of the cell, capable of receiving product when the protuberance is in the retracted position in the cell.
  • the volume of the cells as well as the position of the bead on the protuberance are all characteristics allowing the predetermination of the quantity of cosmetic product which will be loaded on the protuberance. For example, if it is desired that only a small part of it is loaded with mascara, and therefore that the loading of product is low, the bead can be positioned near its free end and thus reduce the free volume, and vice versa if we want more to be loaded with mascara.
  • the bead can act as a guide for the protuberance within the cell by pressing against the internal face of the latter.
  • the applicator is arranged so that the free volume extends around the protuberance.
  • the protrusions may be in an elbow or "S" conformation.
  • the non-rectilinear conformation in the retracted position results in reduced bulk.
  • the article comprises a case, the applicator being fixed to the case while being movable relative to the case between a retracted position and an extended position in which it extends more out of the case than it does. in the retracted position.
  • the article is of the “pen” type, that is to say that the applicator and the reservoir are not separated during use.
  • This embodiment has the advantage of facilitating use by the user, since the latter can have a free hand.
  • the article is arranged so that the applicator moves from the retracted position to the extended position following a path parallel to a direction. longitudinal section.
  • the article comprises a member capable of controlling a passage of the applicator from the retracted position to the extended position and a passage of the protuberances from the retracted position to the extended position.
  • the member is arranged to control the passage of the protuberances from the retracted position to the extended position only after the passage of the applicator from the retracted position to the extended position.
  • the article comprises a reservoir of cosmetic product.
  • the article comprises means for applying product to the applicator when the applicator is in the case.
  • the article comprises means for applying product to the applicator when the protuberances are in the retracted position.
  • the quantity of product delivered to the protuberances is reduced and this quantity can more easily be reduced to that just necessary to ensure a good makeup result without wasting product.
  • the cosmetic product is mascara.
  • 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. It is here of 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 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 outer 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 in this case are 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 opposite face 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 disks 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 semi-truncated cones. radials.
  • 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 at 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 is given a star configuration visible in particular on the figure 4A .

  • the hairs extend entirely inside the body 1.
  • the bristles 3 protrude out of the body with reference to the radial direction to the axis 51, over a major part of the length of each bristle.

  • the bead In the extended position, shown for example on figure 4B , the bead extends in protrusion of the face of the body. The volume of makeup product which filled the volume of the cell located above the bead has therefore been washed away entirely and is now entirely outside the body.

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.
