Definitions

  • the present invention relates to cosmetic product applicator devices.
  • the invention relates to a cosmetic product applicator device, comprising a support adapted to be held in the hand by a user and an applicator head carried by the support, the applicator head being flexible and adapted to apply the cosmetic product to a part.
  • said applicator head comprising a converging body and an applicator body, the converging body extending over a first length by converging from a first end fixed to the support to a second end, and the applicator body extending the second end of the body converge on a second length from the second end of the body converge to a distal end, the applicator body having a constant section from the second end of the body converging to the distal end of said applicator body, the second length being greater than the first length.
  • the object of the present invention is in particular to improve in particular the comfort, the precision of application and the ease of application of the applicator devices of the aforementioned type.
  • an applicator device of the type in question is characterized in that said section of said applicator body is chosen from the group consisting of a substantially circular, square or triangular section, and said section of said applicator body has a diameter circumscribed between 0.5 mm and 5 mm, advantageously between 0.5 mm and mm.
  • the product application is particularly precise. Indeed, the small width of the applicator body makes it particularly flexible, this which makes it very easy to apply to the eyelid.
  • the converging body is shorter than the applicator body of the applicator head, the application is effected essentially by the applicator body, without the user having to precisely dose the application force. it exerts on the support.
  • this applicator body has a constant section, the application is made along a line of constant and precise width.
  • the cosmetic product is an eyeliner
  • the applicator body forms a flagellum which, during application, can be guided by the fringe of the user's eyelashes to facilitate application.
  • a subject of the invention is also the use of an applicator device as defined above, for applying a cosmetic product, in particular an eyeliner.
  • the figure 1 represents an applicator device 1 for a more or less viscous liquid cosmetic product, in particular an eyeliner.
  • This applicator device 1 comprises a reservoir 3 made of plastic or other material, which contains the cosmetic product 3.
  • the liquid cosmetic product can be more or less viscous, of liquid formula proper, viscous, creamy to pasty, for example of similar viscosity. to a mascara or eyeliner formula.
  • the reservoir may for example comprise a neck 4 optionally provided with an internal wringer 5, known per se.
  • the applicator device 1 may further comprise an applicator 6, comprising a support 7, 8 made of plastic or other material, carrying a flexible applicator head 9 (more flexible than the support 7, 8).
  • the support 7, 8 may include a gripping member 7 adapted to be held by a user, and a rod 8, rectilinear or not, which passes through the neck 4 and the wringer 5.
  • the gripping member 7 can optionally be a plug suitable for closing the neck 4, for example by screwing or the like.
  • the rod 8 can have a width of between 3 and 8 mm; for example, the rod 8 be cylindrical with a circular section, with a diameter of in particular between 3 and 8 mm.
  • the applicator head 9 can extend longitudinally along the axis of the rod 8, from the free end of the rod 8.
  • the applicator head 9 could also form an angle. different from 180 degrees with rod 8.
  • the applicator head 9 comprises a converging body 10 and an applicator body 11.
  • the converging body 10 extends (along the longitudinal axis of the rod 8 in the example shown) over a first length L1 by converging from a first end fixed to the support 7, 8 (for example at the free end of the rod 8) to a second end.
  • the converging body 10 can have any desired section, converging from a width D1 at the free end of the rod 8 to a width D2 at the free end of the convergent body 10. When it has a circular section, the converging body 10 can converge from a diameter D1 at the free end of the rod 8 to a diameter D2 at the free end of the convergent body 10.
  • the ratio D1 / D2 can be by example between 3 and 4.
  • the applicator body 11 extends the second end of the converging body 10 (along the longitudinal axis of the rod 8, in the example shown), over a second length L2 from the second end of the converging body 10 to a distal end.
  • the applicator body 11 has a constant section from the second end of the body converge to the distal end of said applicator body.
  • the applicator head could optionally also include an end flagellum (not shown) extending the applicator body 11, with a possibly non-constant section (for example converging from the distal end of the applicator body 11 to the free end of the applicator body 11. terminal flagellum.
  • the second length L2 is greater than the first length L1.
  • the second length L2 can be greater than 1.2 times the first length L1.
  • the second length L2 may be less than 2.4 times the first length L1.
  • the first length L1 may for example be between 2 and 8 mm, in particular of the order of 5 mm.
  • the applicator body 11 can have a width D2 of between 0.5 mm and 5 mm, advantageously between 0.5 mm and 1 mm.
  • Said applicator body 11 may have a substantially circular section having a diameter D2 between 0.5 mm and 5 mm, advantageously between 0.5 mm and 1 mm.
  • the section of the applicator body 11 could be other than circular, it could for example be square or triangular, and the applicator body 11 could optionally also include ribs.
  • the section of the applicator body 11 has a circumscribed diameter D2 (diameter of the smallest circle containing the section) of between 0.5 mm and 5 mm, advantageously between 0.5 mm and 1 mm.
  • the applicator head 9 can be made of a flexible elastomeric thermoplastic material, flocked or not.
  • the applicator head 9 can be made of a flexible thermoplastic material such as polyethylene, polypropylene, but polyamide, or of a thermoplastic elastomeric material such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), silicones, EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene monomer), styrene-butadiene (SBR), thermoplastic copolyester etc.
  • a flexible thermoplastic material such as polyethylene, polypropylene, but polyamide, or of a thermoplastic elastomeric material such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), silicones, EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene monomer), styrene-butadiene (SBR), thermoplastic copolyester etc.
  • TPU thermoplastic polyurethane
  • EPDM ethylene-propylene-diene monomer
  • SBR styrene-butadiene
  • the applicator head 9 may optionally be covered with fibers (for example with a flocking) and / or else have a non-smooth surface (for example a granular surface or with streak-like patterns) to facilitate the flow of the cosmetic product by capillarity.
  • fibers for example with a flocking
  • non-smooth surface for example a granular surface or with streak-like patterns
