Abstract
Description
La présente invention a pour objet un "coton-tige" perfectionné, utilisable notamment pour les soins de beauté. The present invention relates to an improved "cotton swab", usable in particular for beauty treatments.
La vente et l'emploi des "cotons-tiges" -bâtonnets comportant des boules de coton à leurs extrémités- ont connu au cours des dernières années une grande expansion. The sale and use of "cotton swabs" - sticks with cotton balls at their ends - have experienced great expansion in recent years.
Initialement prévus pour les soins apportés aux enfants, en particulier à la suite de l'emploi par les mamans d'une allumette ou d'une épingle à cheveux garnie de coton servant au nettoyage du nez et des oreilles, ces bâtonnets ont connu par la suite des extensions d'emploi considérables, en tant qu'articles d'hygiène notamment pour le nettoyage des oreilles ainsi que pour les soins de beauté et aussi pour le nettoyage de machines délicates. Initially intended for the care provided to children, in particular following the use by mothers of a match or a hairpin garnished with cotton used for cleaning the nose and ears, these sticks were known by the following considerable extensions of use, as hygiene articles in particular for cleaning the ears as well as for beauty treatments and also for cleaning delicate machines.
La présente invention a trait tout spécialement à l'emploi pour les soins de beauté. En effet, si l'on examine les bâtonnets se trouvant actuellement dans le commerce, on constate que leur forme est loin de donner toute satisfaction pour cet usage. La boule de coton se trouvant à l'extrémité du bâtonnet est de section axiale sensiblement ovoide, donc avec un bout rond et relativement gros, ne permettant pas le maquillage avec précision. The present invention relates particularly to the use for beauty care. Indeed, if we examine the sticks currently in commerce, we see that their shape is far from giving any satisfaction for this use. The cotton ball at the end of the stick is of substantially ovoid axial section, therefore with a round and relatively large end, not allowing makeup to be done with precision.
L'invention vise à éviter cet inconvénient. The invention aims to avoid this drawback.
La présente invention concerne donc un '1coton tige" perfectionné, comprenant un bâtonnet portant sur au moins l'une de ses extrémités une boule de coton, et qui est caractérisé en ce que la boule de coton a une forme pointue vers l'extérieur. Ainsi, la boule de coton selon l'invention présente de préférence une section axiale sensiblement conique. Le bâtonnet peut porter une ou deux boules de coton selon l'invention mais, selon une variante, la seconde boule de coton est de forme classique, c'est-à-dire de section axiale sensiblement ovolde. Cette variante permet de multiplier les usages du "coton-tige" selon l'invention, notamment pour les soins de beauté.Par exemple, le bout pointu convient pour une rectification du maquillage, le nettoyage des ongles, etc, tandis que le bout arrondi permet d'étaler ou d'enlever les produits tels que le ~nd de teint, vernis à ongles, etc. The present invention therefore relates to an improved 'cotton rod', comprising a stick carrying on at least one of its ends a cotton ball, and which is characterized in that the cotton ball has a pointed shape towards the outside. Thus, the cotton ball according to the invention preferably has a substantially conical axial section The stick can carry one or two cotton balls according to the invention but, according to a variant, the second cotton ball is of conventional shape, c "that is to say with a substantially oval axial section. This variant makes it possible to multiply the uses of the" cotton swab "according to the invention, in particular for beauty treatments. For example, the pointed end is suitable for rectifying makeup, cleaning the nails, etc., while the rounded end allows spreading or removing products such as the ~ nd complexion, nail polish, etc.
Le "coton-tige" selon l'invention peut être fabriqué avec l'appareillage habituel, adapté à la forme spécifique pointue de la boule de coton, notamment à l'aide d'une gouttière (ou glissière) de formage sensiblement conique. Ainsi le coton en mèche (par exemple de 1,4 g/m) est projeté sur le bâtonnet préalablement encollé ou chauffé (notamment s'il est en matière plastique), puis est roulé dans la glissière conique de sorte que la boule prenne une forme pointue, sensiblement conique, idéale pour le maquillage ou tout autre soin de beauté. The "cotton swab" according to the invention can be manufactured with the usual apparatus, adapted to the specific pointed shape of the cotton ball, in particular using a gutter (or slide) of substantially conical forming. Thus the cotton wick (for example 1.4 g / m) is sprayed onto the stick previously glued or heated (especially if it is made of plastic), then is rolled in the conical slide so that the ball takes a pointed shape, substantially conical, ideal for makeup or any other beauty treatment.
La description suivante en regard du dessin annexé illustre l'invention. The following description with reference to the appended drawing illustrates the invention.
La Fig. unique représente schématiquement, en coupe axiale, un "coton-tige" comprenant un bâtonnet 2 portant sur lune de ses extrémités une boule de coton 1, de forme classique arrondie, c'est-à-dire de section axiale sensiblement ovoïde et, sur l'autre extrémité, une boule de coton 3 de forme pointue 4 vers l'extérieur, selon l'invention. La boule de coton 3 présente une section axiale sensiblement conique, la pointe 4 du cône étant la partie fonctionnelle, tandis que la partie opposée, non utilisée, peut être de forme arrondie. Le bâtonnet 2 portant les boules de coton 1, 3 peut être en bois ou en matière plastique et peut comporter des stries longitudinales. A titre d'exemple, la longueur du bâtonnet est par exemple de 70 mm, et son diamètre de 2,5 mm, et dans ce cas, les boules de coton ont utilement un diamètre maximal d'environ 5 mm, mais ces dimensions ne sont absolument pas indispensables pour réaliser l'invention. En variante, le bâtonnet 2 peut porter-deux boules de coton 3. Fig. single represents schematically, in axial section, a "cotton swab" comprising a stick 2 carrying on one of its ends a cotton ball 1, of conventional rounded shape, that is to say of substantially ovoid axial section and, on the other end, a cotton ball 3 of pointed shape 4 outwards, according to the invention. The cotton ball 3 has a substantially conical axial section, the tip 4 of the cone being the functional part, while the opposite part, which is not used, can be of rounded shape. The stick 2 carrying the cotton balls 1, 3 can be made of wood or plastic and can have longitudinal ridges. For example, the length of the stick is for example 70 mm, and its diameter 2.5 mm, and in this case, the cotton balls usefully have a maximum diameter of approximately 5 mm, but these dimensions do not are absolutely not essential for carrying out the invention. As a variant, the stick 2 can carry two cotton balls 3.
