Abstract
Description
L'enduction uniforme du dos, avec de l'huile solaire par exemple ou tout autre produit dermatologique, est une opération difficile, en raison des limitations dans les mouvements de la main, qui laissent souvent des parties non traitées sur la surface du dos. Uniform coating of the back, with sun oil for example or any other dermatological product, is a difficult operation, due to the limitations in the movements of the hand, which often leave untreated parts on the surface of the back.
Les demanderesses se sont posé le problème de concevoir un instrument simple permettant une enduction uniforme. The applicants have posed the problem of designing a simple instrument allowing uniform coating.
Cet instrument qui fait l'objet de la présente invention est caractérisé par la combinaison d'un boîtier portant sur une surface, de préférence plane ou sensiblement telle, une matière spongieuse en relation avec un petit réservoir contenant le produit à étendre et d'un manche qui porte ce boîtier et a une longueur de quelques dizaines de centimètres, le manche étant de plus courbé de l'arrière vers l'avant, de manière que, tenu par une main qui se déplace devant la partie antérieure du buste, il permette le déplacement du boîtier et de sa matière spongieuse sur la surface du dos. This instrument which is the subject of the present invention is characterized by the combination of a housing carrying on a surface, preferably flat or substantially such, a spongy material in relation to a small reservoir containing the product to be spread and a handle which carries this casing and has a length of a few tens of centimeters, the handle being moreover curved from the back towards the front, so that, held by a hand which moves in front of the front part of the bust, it allows the displacement of the case and its spongy material on the surface of the back.
Les dessins annexés donnés à titre d'exemple permettent de bien comprendre comment l'invention est réalisée. The accompanying drawings given by way of example make it possible to understand clearly how the invention is implemented.
La figure 1 est une vue en élévation latérale avec coupe partielle d'un mode de réalisation de l'instrument qui fait l'objet de la présente invention. Figure 1 is a side elevational view with partial section of an embodiment of the instrument which is the subject of the present invention.
La figure 2 représente l'instrument selon une projection perpendiculaire, avec coupe selon II-II. FIG. 2 represents the instrument according to a perpendicular projection, with section along II-II.
La figure 3 montre une capsule de recharge. Figure 3 shows a refill capsule.
La figure 4 montre une variante avec coupe partielle. Figure 4 shows a variant with partial section.
La figure 5 illustre le mode d'emploi de l'instrument. Figure 5 illustrates the manual for the instrument.
Comme on le voit sur le dessin, le mode de réalisation représenté, comporte un boîtier 1 attenant à un manche 2 relativement long. As can be seen in the drawing, the embodiment shown comprises a housing 1 adjoining a relatively long handle 2.
Le boîtier 1 comporte sur l'une de ses faces, plate ou légèrement convexe, une couche 3 de matière poreuse, en fibres par exemple, capable de retenir par capillarité le liquide ou la crème que l'on veut appliquer sur la peau. The housing 1 has on one of its faces, flat or slightly convex, a layer 3 of porous material, in fibers for example, capable of retaining by capillarity the liquid or the cream that one wants to apply to the skin.
Le boîtier 1 comporte plusieurs compartiments, au nombre de quatre dans l'exemple figuré, dont chacun peut contenir un petit réservoir 4 contenant la crème ou le liquide. The housing 1 has several compartments, four in number in the illustrated example, each of which may contain a small reservoir 4 containing the cream or the liquid.
Ces petits réservoirs sont munis chacun d'au moins un petit tube capillaire 5 librement ouvert qui assure le maintien de la couche poreuse 3 imbibée du liquide ou de la crème. These small reservoirs are each provided with at least one small capillary tube 5 which is freely open and which maintains the porous layer 3 soaked with the liquid or the cream.
Le manche 2 a une longueur de l'ordre de la distance entre la position de la main et le point du dos le plus bas, soit en général de 50 à 60 centimètres. De plus, le manche a une courbure adaptée à cette longueur, de manière que la main qui tient le manche et est naturellement astreinte à se mouvoir devant la partie antérieure du corps puisse placer le boîtier avec la couche imbibée 3 contre le dos et le déplacer sur tous les points du dos (voir figure 5). The handle 2 has a length of the order of the distance between the position of the hand and the lowest point of the back, generally 50 to 60 centimeters. In addition, the handle has a curvature adapted to this length, so that the hand which holds the handle and is naturally forced to move in front of the front part of the body can place the housing with the dipped layer 3 against the back and move it on all points of the back (see Figure 5).
Pour faciliter le bon contact entre la couche poreuse 3 et le dos, on peut réaliser le manche de manière qu'il ait une certaine flexibilité élastique. Si le manche est en matière plastique, il conviendra de lui donner une épaisseur suffisamment petite ou l'on pourra aussi munir le manche d'inserts métalliques dans la partie reliant le manche au boîtier 1. Une autre solution consisterait d'ailleurs à articuler le boîtier 1 sur le manche et à prévoir un ressort associé à l'articulation. To facilitate good contact between the porous layer 3 and the back, the handle can be made so that it has a certain elastic flexibility. If the handle is made of plastic, it should be given a sufficiently small thickness or we can also provide the handle with metal inserts in the part connecting the handle to the housing 1. Another solution would be to articulate the housing 1 on the handle and to provide a spring associated with the articulation.
Les petits réservoirs de crème ou de liquide 4 qui débitent en parallèle sur la couche spongieuse peuvent être facilement remplacés, le boîtier 1 étant muni à cet effet d'un couvercle 6 articulé en 7, de sorte que l'instrument peut être aisément rechargé en liquide frais. The small reservoirs of cream or liquid 4 which flow in parallel on the spongy layer can be easily replaced, the box 1 being provided for this purpose with a cover 6 hinged at 7, so that the instrument can be easily recharged in fresh liquid.
Au lieu d'être capillaires et ouverts en permanence, les orifices 5 peuvent être munis d'une valve 5a à ressort 5b (figure 4) s'ouvrant automatiquement dès qu'une pression est exercée sur la couche poreuse 3, l'ouverture étant commandée par exemple par un petit palpeur 5c placé sous la matière poreuse. Instead of being capillary and permanently open, the orifices 5 may be provided with a valve 5a with spring 5b (FIG. 4) opening automatically as soon as pressure is exerted on the porous layer 3, the opening being controlled for example by a small probe 5c placed under the porous material.
On ne sortirait pas du cadre de l'invention en remplaçant les moyens décrits par des moyens équivalents. It would not go beyond the scope of the invention to replace the means described by equivalent means.
Par exemple, il va de soi qu'au lieu d'utiliser plusieurs réservoirs distincts pour l'humectation de la couche poreuse 3, on pourrait prévoir un réservoir unique qu'il y aurait alors lieu de munir de plusieurs tubulures 5. Le manche peut être relié au boîtier par une liaison le rendant amovible et permettant de le séparer pour faciliter le transport. For example, it goes without saying that instead of using several separate reservoirs for wetting the porous layer 3, a single reservoir could be provided which would then have to be provided with several pipes 5. The handle can be connected to the housing by a link making it removable and allowing it to be separated for easy transport.
