Definitions

• An object of the invention is therefore to improve the applicators of cosmetic product.
• a cosmetic product applicator for the eyelashes which comprises a core having a cavity and lateral orifices placing the cavity in communication with the outside of the core, the orifices being arranged in staggered rows.
• the orifices and the cavity can be loaded with makeup product when the applicator is immersed in a reservoir provided for this purpose. Then, during makeup, the product covering the applicator is deposited on the eyelashes. But the product is also gradually discharged from the orifices. This can occur under the effect of the passage of the eyelashes against the orifices. This can also result, if necessary, the bending and / or compression of the soul which then behaves a bit like a sponge. In fact, the orifices reduce the rigidity of the soul and give it greater flexibility. Naturally, this flexibility depends on the dimensions and the material chosen for the soul.
• At least some of the orifices have a larger axis parallel to the main axis of the applicator.
• the orifices form rows parallel to a main axis of the applicator, a distance between two orifices of a row being smaller than a larger dimension of one of the two orifices along the main axis.
• At least some of the orifices have a polygon shape.
• at least some of the orifices have a diamond shape.
• the applicator is in one piece.
• each orifice is chamfered. It thus has a first chamfer, external chamfer or main chamfer 26 contiguous to the outer face 22 of the soul. This chamfer is itself extended towards the inside of the orifice by a second chamfer 26 or internal chamfer.
• the portion of the orifice that follows the second chamfer is the one that has the smallest section among the different sections of the orifice. This section is taken in a plane perpendicular to the radial direction to the axis 18. This last direction is oriented towards the cavity. In other words, this section has a normal direction oriented towards the cavity and the axis.
• the protuberances 30 all extend in a direction radial to the axis 18 being perpendicular to this axis.
• protuberances 30 which we will call here intermediate protuberances, are arranged between the opposite sides of the adjacent diamonds of two rows. Thus, for each pair of sides considered, there is a protrusion contiguous to these two sides.
• These secondary protuberances form crowns of protuberances extending in the same plane perpendicular to the axis 18 and not including any other protuberances.
• This applicator is in one piece. It is for example made of plastic.
• the orifices 24 and the cavity in fact contribute to feed progressively the protuberances 30 and the eyelashes mascara as it is deposited on the eyelashes.
• the applicator behaves a bit like a sponge and rejects mascara out of its orifices as and when makeup.
• the rows of protuberances also ensure combing and separation of the eyelashes to avoid the formation of packages. They promote a regular lash coating with mascara to help give them an effect of lengthening and volume.
• the applicator may be given a shape that is not cylindrical, the section of which is not circular and / or which is not a symmetrical shape of revolution.
• the section of the applicator could for example have an ellipse shape.
• applicators have been shown to comprise identical bristle-forming protuberances, it is also possible to provide that these protuberances form teeth or that the applicator comprises protuberances forming bristles and others forming teeth.
