Definitions

  • the present invention relates to brushes for applying a cosmetic product to the eyelashes or eyebrows, notably a makeup or care product, for example mascara, and also to corresponding packaging and application devices.
  • a very large number of applicators, in which the brush comprises a core formed by two arms of a metal wire that are twisted together and grip bristles, are known.
  • Such a brush is described for example in the documents FR3013569 and EP2229839 .
  • brushes made by moulding at least one thermoplastic elastomer material.
  • US20150020332 describes the manufacture of such a brush.
  • the brush or more generally the applicator member, is connected to a gripping member by way of a stem made of a rigid thermoplastic material.
  • the applicator is generally intended to be used with a reservoir which contains the cosmetic product to be applied and a free edge of which delimits an opening.
  • the applicator member is introduced through the opening into the reservoir, where it is loaded with cosmetic product before being withdrawn from said reservoir in order to carry out the application.
  • the opening In order to limit the problems of drying out and contamination of the cosmetic product in the reservoir, the opening has to be relatively small.
  • the opening conventionally has a diameter of 8, 12 or 15 mm.
  • Such stems have one or more curves and can extend in two or three directions.
  • Such a stem made of rigid plastics material can prove extremely difficult to withdraw from the reservoir.
  • the application FR3001368 envisages the possibility of making such a stem of elastomer material, therefore giving it a degree of flexibility and greater elasticity.
  • the document FR3001368 recommends retaining at least one rectilinear portion. Such a constraint limits the development of ergonomic stems that have diverse curves.
  • the length is measured along a rectilinear longitudinal axis of the portion in question.
  • the longitudinal axis is understood as being the overall direction of extension of said portion and more specifically the direction between two end points of said portion.
  • the longitudinal axis is understood as being the axis between its free distal end and its point of attachment to a gripping member or to a plastics stem. This length does not include the length necessary for fitting the core in the stem.
  • substantially portion of its length is understood as meaning at least 50% of the length, preferably at least 60%, or even at least 80%.
  • the core is a twisted core having two arms that are twisted together, the application elements being retained in the core between said arms.
  • the core is a core moulded from at least one thermoplastic elastomer material.
  • the maximum length of the applicator is generally defined as per the container used.
  • mascara bottles have a length that can range up to around ten centimetres.
  • the length of the core may then be up to 90-95 mm.
  • the applicator member is connected to the gripping member by way of a stem, made notably of plastics material and preferably thermoplastic material, said stem preferably being rectilinear.
  • the stem does not protrude from the gripping member. Thus, there is no visible joint between the gripping member and the applicator member.
  • the stem protrudes from the gripping member, preferably by a length less than 20 mm.
  • the protruding length is between 5 and 10% of the length of the core.
  • the proximal stem portion does not have any application elements.
  • the absence of application elements in the proximal stem part allows the user to clearly distinguish it from the distal application portion.
  • the proximal stem portion may have a substantially cylindrical envelope of application elements.
  • it may have changing sections that form patterns, such as substantially spherical, cylindrical, conical, etc. zones.
  • the application elements of the proximal stem portion define an envelope surface that has a substantially non-circular cross section over at least a part of said proximal stem portion.
  • the core extends in the three spatial dimensions in the proximal stem portion.
  • the proximal stem portion may alternatively also be curved in a plane.
  • the proximal stem portion may have one or more curves, with the same orientation or opposite orientations.
  • the core is configured, in the proximal stem portion, such that the angle between a longitudinal axis of the gripping member and a longitudinal axis of the distal application portion is between 25° and 90°.
  • the gripping member of the applicator also forms a cap that is able to close the reservoir in a removable manner, the applicator member being situated inside the reservoir when the cap is in the closing position.
  • a packaging and application assembly 1 comprises, for the one part, an applicator 10 according to the invention and, for the other part, a container 100 that is intended to contain a cosmetic product P.
  • the gripping member 12 has an internal thread that is able to cooperate with an external thread on the neck 101.
  • the twisted core 13 thus defines a distal application portion 13a and a proximal stem portion 13b.
  • the distal application portion 13a comprises bristles with a different nature from that of the bristles of the proximal stem portion.
  • the bristles can also have the same nature.
  • the core 13 of the applicator member 11 is connected to the gripping member 12 by way of a plastics stem 15.
  • the plastics stem 15 is rectilinear.
  • the plastics stem 15 is also reduced to a minimum distance.
