Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an applicator for applying at least one fibre to human keratin materials, in particular for filling out and/or lengthening the eyelashes and/or eyebrows, or hair fibres.
  • Another solution consists in positioning small locks of fibres with a small amount of adhesive at the end.
  • these small locks which may be suitable when the rows are fairly full, are unsatisfactory for people with sparse rows because they confer an inhomogeneous and artificial appearance.
  • These small locks can be located using applicator tools or tweezers.
  • this approach is not suitable for people who have incomplete rows, since it is easy to tell the difference between the area provided with eyelashes and the area without eyelashes and filled in by added small locks.
  • FR 2 957 760 relates to an element for the application of fibres on human keratinous fibres, comprising fibres held together in a predefined way by a liquefiable adhesive in the solid form, the liquefying of the adhesive on application making it possible for at least a portion of the fibres to separate from the element.
  • FR 3 039 368 relates to a cosmetic treatment method, comprising the steps consisting in applying an adhesive composition to human keratin materials, especially the skin, bringing fibres borne by an applicator into contact with said adhesive composition present on said keratin materials, moving the applicator away from the skin, so as to release fibres which adhere to said keratin materials, the holding force for holding the fibres on the applicator being lower than the adhesive force for adhesion of the fibres to the adhesive composition present on said keratin materials.
  • the present invention relates to an applicator for applying at least one fibre to human keratin materials, in particular for filling out and/or lengthening the eyelashes and/or eyebrows, having at least one channel into which a fibre is inserted, this channel being defined by at least one portion that, in section, entirely surrounds the fibre and has at least one end-of-travel stop that limits the insertion of the fibre.
  • a fibre applicator which makes it possible to fill out and/or lengthen the eyelashes and/or eyebrows.
  • the invention allows people who have a sparse row or an incomplete row to apply fibres so as to re-establish a normally full row without any bare areas. It also allows people who have a row of eyelashes that is already fairly full to supplement it in order to enhance the attractiveness thereof.
  • the applicator advantageously has a plurality of channels, at least some of which accommodate a fibre, in particular between 2 and 50 channels, better still between 10 and 50 channels.
  • the applicator may have a plurality of channels, only some of which accommodate a fibre, as desired depending on the areas of eyelashes or eyebrows to be filled out or lengthened. In a variant, all the channels accommodate a fibre.
  • each channel is preferably greater than a largest diameter of the fibre that it contains. This makes it possible to easily withdraw the fibres from the respective channels in which they are accommodated.
  • the ratio D c /D f between the diameter D c of the channel and the largest diameter D f of the fibre is between 1.5 and 10.
  • the applicator When the ratio D c /D f is greater than 10, the applicator preferably has a means for holding each fibre.
  • This holding means makes it possible for the fibres not to slide in an uncontrolled manner in the channels.
  • the holding means may have a narrowed portion of the channel such that, at the narrowed portion, the ratio D c /D f is less than 10.
  • the holding means may also have an activatable system that grips the fibres in a part of the channel.
  • the holding means may also have a non-stick material disposed in the channel, along all or part of its length.
  • the channels may be formed in an elastomeric material, in particular a material with a Shore A hardness of 0 to 50, preferably of 8 to 40.
  • the elastomeric material gives the applicator flexibility such that a user can grip or deform the applicator in order to hold the fibres, then release the pressure or the torsion in order to allow the fibres to move and leave their respective channels.
  • the elastomeric material can be chosen from the group consisting of a silicone such as Platsil Gel silicone from the company Polytec, rubbers derived from vinyl polymerization with crosslinking, thermoplastic elastomer polymers TPE, constituted generally of chains having two blocks such as polyurethane TPEs (with an isocyanate block and an ether/ester block), TPE-Es (with a polyester block and a polyether block), TPE-Cs (with a polyamide block and a polyether block), TPE-Ss (with a styrene block and a polybutadiene or polyisoprene or polyethylene block).
  • Such a material makes it advantageously possible to obtain a feel with a non stick effect, this retaining at least a little of the fibre in the channel, such that it does not slide accidentally out of the channel, without otherwise requiring adhesive for this retention.
  • This retention is preferably entirely relative, making it possible to easily remove the fibre from the channel when desired.
  • At least one channel may be closed in section along its entire length.
  • At least one channel may be open in section along a portion of its length less than its total length and around a portion of its circumference less than its total circumference.
  • At least some of the channels may have the same shape.
  • all the channels of the applicator may have the same shape.
  • At least some of the channels may have different shapes.
  • the channels may or may not have the shape of the fibres. If the ratio D c /D f is less than 3, the channels preferably have the same shape as the fibres. On the other hand, if the ratio D c /D f is greater than 10, the channels preferably have a different shape from that of the fibres. The difference in shape may hold the fibres so as to prevent them from sliding naturally, in particular under the effect of gravity.
  • the channels may be defined by tubes.
  • the applicator preferably has at least one link connecting the tubes together.
  • This link constitutes for example a flexible articulation between the tubes so as to make it possible to modify the orientation of a tube with respect to an adjacent tube.
  • the link is realized so as to limit the movement between the tubes, or even to prevent movement between the tubes.
  • the link may make it possible to join the tubes together by snap-fastening.
  • the channels are formed in a monolithic part.
  • the end-of-travel stop may be formed by a portion of this part.
  • Each channel preferably accommodates a single fibre, when it accommodates one.
  • the or each fibre may protrude from the channel, through an open outlet thereof, by a length (5) greater than or equal to 1 mm, it being possible for this length to be different for two different fibres.
  • the channels are disposed for example in a fan shape, in particular when they are formed in a monolithic part or when they are formed by tubes that are connected together.
  • the end-of-travel stop may be movable relative to the outlet of the channel through which the fibre emerges.
  • the end-of-travel stop is formed for example by a portion of a monolithic part in which the channels are formed, as mentioned above. It may be adjustable, if appropriate.
  • the applicator may have several channels that are substantially identical to one another and distributed uniformly, for example disposed in a fan shape, each channel accommodating a fibre. This configuration is particularly recommended for rows of eyelashes that are sparse in terms of eyelashes.
  • the applicator can be in different forms.
  • the applicator may have a width such that it only covers a part of the row of eyelashes.
  • the applicator may cover the entire row with a plurality of channels, only some of which contain a fibre, however, next to one or more bare areas of the row of eyelashes.
  • the applicator may cover the entire row with a plurality of channels, each of which is filled with a fibre, the applicator having a means for making only the fibres that will be added to the row, at the bare areas of the row, protrude from the channels.
  • the applicator may cover the entire row with a plurality of channels, each of which is filled with a fibre, the applicator having a means for preventing the channels that will not be next to a bare area of the row of eyelashes from being freed.
  • the applicator may cover the entire row with a plurality of channels, each of which is filled with a fibre, the applicator having a means for preventing the stops of the fibres that will not be next to a bare area of the row of eyelashes from being freed.
  • the applicator may cover the entire row with a number of channels limited to those that will be next to a bare area of the row of eyelashes during the implementation of the process.
  • fibre should be understood according to the invention as meaning an object of length L and of diameter D such that L is greater than D and preferably very much greater than D, D being the diameter of the circle in which the greatest cross section of the fibre is inscribed.
  • the ratio L/D is chosen in the range of values from 3.5 to 2500, preferably from 10 to 1000, better still from 20 to 500.
  • the fibres may be chosen from natural fibres and synthetic fibres, in particular polyamide, for example Nylon®.
  • the fibres may be inorganic or organic. They may be long, or short, individual or organized, for example braided, and hollow or solid. They may have any shape, for example curved or substantially rectilinear. They may in particular have a cross section that is circular or polygonal (square, hexagonal or octagonal).

This can make it possible to choose the distance between two fibres 2 to be applied.
  • These interposed parts 29, of which there are two in this example, do not have tubes, making it possible to dispose them next to areas of the row of eyelashes that do not need to be filled out, for example.
  • the tubes 10 are advantageously positioned so as to be next to bare areas.
  • the applicator 1 can thus be adapted to the row of eyelashes to be filled or completed.
  • the articulations 28 are sufficiently flexible and spaced apart for it to be possible to modify the shape of the applicator 1 so as to have tubes 10 that are mutually parallel, as illustrated in the left-hand part of Figure 13, or fan-shaped, as illustrated in the right-hand part of Figure 13, in order to match it to the morphology of the eyelid, for example.
  • Figure 14 shows the reverse of the right-hand part of Figure 13. It can be seen that, in this example, a link 30 connecting the tubes 10 together in order to fix the given shape has been added.
  • the applicator 1 can be used to apply fibres to the eyebrows or to the scalp.
  • the invention thus makes it possible to treat any areas that bear natural fibres and where there is a desire to add additional fibres, notably the eyelashes, the eyebrows and the scalp.
  • the adhesive composition can also be applied to the fibres and/or to the eyelashes or eyebrows or hair fibres.
