Description

The present invention relates to the field of cosmetics and, in more detail, to, but not limited to, human keratin substances, particularly cosmetic articles intended to make up or care for the skin.

Various applicators are known for applying cosmetic products to the skin.

These include sponges, brushes, wipes, and flocking applicators.

International Publication No. 2012/153131 European Patent No. 18633959

There is a need for new applicators that allow users to enjoy new sensory experiences and exhibit excellent properties for applying cosmetic compositions.

The present invention therefore relates to an article such as a powder puff for applying a cosmetic product, wherein the article comprises a first layer and a second layer bonded to each other by a collection of filaments forming a spacer of the spacer. The ends are connected to the first layer and the second layer, respectively.

In the first embodiment, the first and second layers are made of a woven material that can be selected from woven fabrics, non-woven fabrics, and knits.

In the second embodiment, the first layer and the second layer are made of foam.

The article is not impregnated with cosmetic products prior to its first use. The article is used to remove the cosmetic product from a separate container and apply it specifically to the skin, or to remove or mix the cosmetic product on the skin. The article does not constitute a reserve of cosmetic products.

The article according to the present invention is soft and comfortable to touch.

According to the present invention, new applicators are available that have a spring effect associated with the presence of spacers between the first layer and the second layer. The spacers add thickness to the article without exhibiting significant resistance to pressure, providing a pleasing feel associated with the softness thus obtained.

If possible, the article is free of foam between the first and second layers.

The article may be attached to a support, especially in the form of end parts. The support may constitute a member for grasping, such as a handle.

Alternatively, the article is not attached to the support. All or part of the article, especially the aggregate of filaments forming the spacer, may have undergone antibacterial treatment.

The article may be washable. Spacers form a ventilation space, which means that the article dries quickly.

Advantageously, the article comprises at least a peripheral, fastening portion that connects the first and second layers. The anchoring portion is realized by, for example, ultrasonic waves or high frequency welding. In that case, the spacer is trapped inside the article by the anchoring part and is not visible from the outside. Such anchoring, especially welding, makes it possible to prevent the fringes of the woven and / or foam forming the first and second layers from unraveling. The anchorage also allows the application to be more gentle to the user.

The article may include at least one soft third layer, especially a woven fabric, attached to the outer surface of the first and / or second layer.

The third layer may be fixed to the first layer and / or the second layer. For example, the third layer may be adhered to the first layer and / or the second layer, and the article is attached to the first layer and / or the second layer, eg, spraying, It comprises a layer of adhesive, applied by screen printing, coating, or other methods. The third layer may then be adhered to this layer of adhesive.

Alternatively, the third layer may be secured to the first layer and / or the second layer by stitching, welding, bonding and then welding, or any other suitable fixing means. In another alternative form, the third layer is not adhered to the first layer and / or the second layer, but is simply fixed to the periphery of the article by welding, for example by ultrasonic or radiofrequency welding. This welding is advantageously carried out at the same time as the welding that bonds the first layer and the second layer to each other. Thus, the third layer is advantageously fixed simultaneously to the first and second layers at its periphery, for example by welding, especially by radiofrequency or ultrasonic welding.

Alternatively, the third layer is not fixed to the first and / or second layer. For example, the third layer covers each of the first and second layers and is secured at the periphery of the first layer and the second layer, eg, by welding, at least partially, to form a cover covering the rest of the article. All or part of the fixation portion of the third layer may then be open so that the cover is removable from the rest of the article. In particular, some of the fixation parts may be realized using Velcro® type fasteners. It may be found to be advantageous for cleaning or replacement, or, for example, if the cover is reversible, to remove the cover formed by the third layer from the rest of the article.

The third layer may or may not be textured. The third layer may be selected from woven fabrics, non-woven fabrics, and foams. The third layer may contain threads such as microfibers, especially polyamide and / or polyester, or acrylic, to provide additional softness to the feel. The third layer may be made of a foam, such as polyethylene or polyurethane foam, which has closed cells or open cells, preferably closed cells. When the foam is a closed cell foam, it can form a barrier and make it possible to prevent the interior of the article from becoming dirty.

The article may include at least one weld over all or part of its thickness in a region different from its periphery. Such welds may allow the area to be grabbed or the area to apply the cosmetic composition to be defined, or it may be possible to create one or more patterns on the article. ..

The article may have a circular, elliptical, square, rectangular, trapezoidal shape, a regular polygonal or equilateral polygonal shape, or another shape. The article may have a surface occupying ² to 80 cm 2 when viewed from above. The molding may be carried out by cutting, in particular using a punch or a laser as appropriate. The article may be manufactured by simultaneously cutting and welding the edges, for example by ultrasonic waves or high frequencies.

Specifically, the third layer is not pre-adhered to the first layer and / or the second layer covered by the third layer, and the first layer and / or the second layer and / or others. It may be cut and welded to the third layer of the above by ultrasonic waves or high frequency means. Alternatively, the third layer may be coated with an adhesive on the first and / or second layer covered by the third layer before being cut and welded by ultrasonic or radio frequency means. Good.

The longest dimension of the article, especially the powder puff, may be in the range of 10 mm to 100 mm, preferably in the range of 40 mm to 60 mm.

The present invention allows for a wide selection of materials, textures, and porosities for the first layer, for the second layer, and optionally for the third layer. These can therefore be easily adapted to suit the desired make-up feel and type.

When the first layer, the second layer, and / or the third layer contains a fabric, the fabric forming the first layer, the second layer, and / or the third layer is, for example, a polyamide. Fibers selected from the group consisting of synthetic fibers such as elastane, polyester, acrylic, biscous, acetate and / or natural fibers such as microfibers, silk, wool, cotton, linen, hemp, and mixtures thereof. Includes yarn made of microfiber. The woven fabric preferably comprises a mixture of synthetic fibers and / or microfibers, in particular a mixture of polyamide and elastane, in which the proportion of polyamide is particularly greater than 50% by weight, preferably greater than 60%, in particular. Over 70%. Woven fabrics include, for example, a mixture of yarns made of polyamide and elastane microfiber. The woven fabric may have undergone a surface treatment, for example embossing.

When the first layer, the second layer, and / or the third layer contains a foam, it is polyurethane, butadiene rubber (BR), styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), natural rubber (NR), water-containing ( wetted) urethane, dry urethane, polyether, polyester, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), latex, silicone, styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), silicone elastomer, It may be selected from the group consisting of nitrile rubber, butyl rubber, and neoprene.

Such a foam may be a closed cell foam. Alternatively, the foam is an open-cell foam.

The one or more materials from which the first layer, the second layer, and / or the third layer are made are preferably chosen to give the article a silky feel. One or more materials from which the first layer, the second layer, and / or the third layer are made so that the first layer, the second layer, and / or the third layer are elastic. May be selected for.

The first and / or second and / or third layers may appear to the naked eye to be substantially connected. The expression "with the naked eye" should be understood to mean being seen at a distance of 15 cm with the eyes of normal vision. Alternatively, the first and / or second and / or third layers appear to the naked eye to be perforated. In that case, the first layer and / or the second layer and / or the third layer comprises at least one perforation, particularly a plurality of perforations.

The perforations may have a non-polygonal shape, for example a circular, oval, egg-shaped or oval shape. In particular, the perforations may have a shape that includes at least one rounded portion. All of the perforations may have the same shape. The perforations may be uniformly dispersed over the entire layer.

In general, the maximum dimensions of the perforations on the first layer, the second layer, and / or the third layer may be 1 mm to 15 mm. Cross-sectional area of each perforation ^may be 1 mm 2 100 mm ^2.

The first layer may be made from the same fabric, with the same weave or knitting, or from the same foam as the second and / or third layer.

Alternatively, the first layer is made from a different fabric and / or with a different weave or knitting method compared to the second and / or third layer. In the latter case, it makes it possible to obtain different makeup effects. As an alternative, one of the layers is particularly suitable for applying cosmetic products to the skin, while the other of the layers is more suitable for finishing or mixing make-up. Alternatively, one of the layers is suitable for applying liquid cosmetics, while the other of the layers is suitable for applying powdered cosmetics. The same applies to the first layer and / or the third layer covering the second layer. The third layer covering the first layer may be the same as or different from the third layer covering the second layer.

The colors of the various layers may be the same as or different from each other.

The thickness of the article, especially the thickness of the powder puff, measured at the center of it between the opposing surfaces of the first and second layers may be 1 mm to 30 mm, and even better, 5 mm to 25 mm. .. For make-up applications, a thickness of 1 to 15 mm may be preferred, and for care applications, a thickness of 5 to 30 mm may be preferred.

The thickness of at least one of the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer is 0.1 to 2 mm, especially 0.2 to 2 mm, or even 0. It may be contained in 3 to 1 mm, preferably 0.3 to 0.5 mm, and particularly equal to 0.35 mm. The foam layer is therefore relatively thin in thickness, which is said to provide a soft touch, especially when it is easy to weld, inexpensive, soft and deformable, especially when the cell density is high. , Brings some advantages.

The filament of the spacer may have at least one portion oriented perpendicular to the first layer and the second layer. In one exemplary embodiment of the invention, each filament has an arch shape. This can give the powder puff a higher compression ratio and reduce the force that must be applied to move the first and second layers towards each other. If possible, the filaments are single fiber filaments, or filaments made of spun fibers, respectively, rather than multifiber filaments. This gives the filament greater rigidity and thus contributes to the elasticity of the powder puff and its shape memory.

Articles, especially powder puffs, are preferably made entirely of synthetic materials, preferably thermoplastics. For example, articles, especially powder puffs, include at least one of the plastic materials selected from polyester, polyamide and polyolefin.

Articles, especially powder puffs, may contain intersecting filaments when viewed in a direction perpendicular to their thickness. This allows the first layer to be moved towards the second layer when the user pushes the first layer without the first layer shifting laterally with respect to the second layer. ..

The first and second layers are made of, for example, woven fabrics, preferably knitted yarns. In particular, the filament forming the spacer is advantageously bonded to the first and second layers by knitting. The filament itself may be knitted. The first layer and the second layer may be produced by knitting on a loom having a double needle bed. It may be a warp knit that cannot be unwound or a weft knit.

If possible, the article according to the invention does not have an intermediate absorption structure attached between the first layer and the second layer, especially foams. Articles, especially powder puffs, advantageously lack an intermediate layer of foam, such as PU, SBR, or polyolefin foam, between the first and second layers.

In the rest of the description, the same elements, or elements having the same function, have the same reference numerals. For the sake of brevity, they are not described for each of the figures and only the differences between embodiments are emphasized.

The article 1 according to the present invention shown in FIG. 1 constitutes a powder puff. The powder puff comprises a first layer 11 of the woven fabric and a second layer 12 of the woven fabric. The first and second layers are connected to each other by a set of filaments 13 forming the spacer, and the ends 14 and 15 of the spacer are connected to the first layer 11 and the second layer 12, respectively.

In this example, the powder puff 1 is not attached to the support and itself forms an applicator for applying or removing cosmetic products or mixing cosmetic products.

The powder puff 1 includes a peripheral fixing portion made by ultrasonic welding in this example. This peripheral edge anchoring portion assembles the first layer 11 to the second layer 12 at their peripheral edge 16 to ensure that the filament 13 forming the spacer is not visible from the outside.

The soft layers 17a and 17b of this example cover the first layer 11 and the second layer 12, respectively.

Layers 17a and 17b are also welded to the first layer 11 and the second layer 12 at their periphery.

The powder puff 1 shown in FIG. 2 has an egg-shaped contour in the front view. The length L1 of the powder puff 1 in this example is 58 mm, and the width L2 is 47 mm.

The powder puff 1 may have a shape different from that shown in FIG. 2 without departing from the scope of the present invention. Specifically, the powder puff 1 may have a circular, cylindrical, spherical, square, rectangular, elliptical, trapezoidal shape, or other polygonal or non-polygonal shape.

The layers 17a and 17b are adhered to the first layer 11 and the second layer 12, respectively, in this example. However, the layers 17a and 17b can be otherwise used, for example by stitching, welding, bonding PU foam, spraying an adhesive, or by applying heat-melted yarn to the first and second layers, or layers 17a / 17b. When fixed to the first layer 11 and the second layer 12 by incorporating into and then heating to adhere, it does not deviate from the scope of the present invention.

The assembly of the first layer 11, the second layer 12, and the filament 13 may be made of synthetic material by knitting according to the teachings of Application International Publication No. 2012/153131 A1 or European Patent No. 1863 959. .. An example of a woven structure that may be suitable is commercially available under the name "SPACER FABRIC" for textile application.

The length of the filament 13 forming the spacer is, for example, 1 to 25 mm, more preferably 6 to 10 mm.

The present invention makes available washable powder puffs with spacers that make up the ventilation space so that they dry quickly. The powder puff may undergo an antibacterial treatment.

The powder puff 1 has a spring effect due to the presence of spacers. The resistance of the spacer to pressure is small and the user feels comfortable and soft during use.

A large number of textile materials, in particular fabrics, woven fabrics, knits and / or non-woven fabrics, and / or foams can be selected from which the first layer 11, the second layer 12, and the layers 17a and 17b can be selected. create. In particular, the first layer 11 or the second layer 12 is preferably made of woven or knit. The layers 17a and 17b are preferably made of foam, such as closed cell polyurethane foam. When made by knitting, the layers may be made, in particular, using warp knitting that cannot be unraveled, or using weft knitting. The filament 13 forming the spacer is advantageously connected to the first layer 11 and the second layer 12 by knitting.

In the illustrated example, as seen in FIG. 3, the first layer 11 is made with a small elliptical perforation 21.

The second layer 12 shown in FIG. 5 has a large oval-shaped perforation 20 having a longest dimension L of 1 mm to 5 mm.

The first layer and the second layer may be the same.

At least one of these layers may be unperforated, especially if the article is washable. The first layer and / or the second layer may include a jacquard pattern.

Layer 17a may have a more tightly woven structure, as seen in FIG. In this example, layer 17b is identical to layer 17a. Layers 17a, 17b preferably contain polyamide microfiber threads to give the powder puff 1 a silky feel to further enhance the user's sensory experience. The layers 17a and 17b preferably contain elastane fibers to impart elasticity to the powder puff 1.

The various types of mesh structures of layers 11, 12, 17a, 17b are configured to suit the desired application. In this example, layers 17a and 17b are layers that the user touches.

Alternatively, the layers 17a and 17b may be different. One may be suitable for applying the cosmetic product, and the other may be suitable for mixing the cosmetic product when the cosmetic product is applied to the keratin substance.

The filament 13 may be oriented in various ways. In the illustrated example, the filaments 13 are crossed, i.e., there are filaments 13a and 13b with concave surfaces facing in opposite directions.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, all filaments 13 have concave surfaces that always point in the same direction and are curved substantially in the same way. Further, in this example, the layer 17b is absent and the second layer 12 constitutes the outer layer of the article. The user touches the second layer 12 on one side of the powder puff and the third layer 17a on the other side.

In the example of FIG. 7, the powder puff 1 has no layers 17a and 17b and contains only layers 11 and 12 as outer layers.

In the example of FIG. 8, the article 1 constitutes an end component 30 attached to a support 31 that constitutes a member for grasping, in the form of a handle in this example.

FIG. 9 shows a kit 40 of cosmetic articles according to the present invention, which includes a package 41 containing a plurality of powder puffs 1. Package 41 is a thermoplastic pouch closed by a heat seal, and closure zone 42 can be seen in this figure.

FIG. 10 shows a cosmetic device 50 according to the present invention, comprising a case 2 including a main body 3 that houses a reservoir in the form of a material impregnated with the cosmetic composition C.

In this example, the annular lip 9 holds the reservoir in place.

As shown in the figure, the case 2 includes an applicator holder that forms a storage container 6 for receiving the powder puff 1. The applicator holder may be hingedly attached to the main body 3. The applicator holder separates the powder puff 1 from the cosmetic composition and prevents them from coming into contact with each other inside the case.

The case 2 also includes a lid 5 hinged to the body 3. A mirror 45 is attached to the inner surface of the lid 5.

To perform a make-up or care action, the user grabs the powder puff 1 with the user's fingers and uses it to remove the cosmetic composition C from the reservoir and apply it to the skin.

Other alternative forms of article 1, particularly different in shape, different in the textile material forming the first layer, the second layer, and the other layer, different in the spacer formation of the filament, and different in the shape of the support. It is possible.

FIG. 11 shows an example of Article 1 in which the third layers 17a and 17b are made of foam, especially of closed cell polyurethane foam. The thickness of each layer of foam is about 0.35 mm, and this small thickness allows it to perfectly match the shape of the underlying layer 11 or 12. The foam advantageously has a high air bubble density in order to give the foam a silky feel that the user finds comfortable. Also in this example, the third layers 17a and 17b are coated with an adhesive, then cut at the peripheral edge 16 and ultrasonically welded. If the third layers 17a and 17b are not adhered and are simply welded, they do not deviate from the scope of the present invention.

In the example of FIG. 12, article 1 comprises a first layer 11 and a second layer 12, which are made of a thin foam, for example, a polyurethane foam having a thickness of 0.3 mm.

The example of article 1 in FIG. 13 shows that at least a partially welded portion 25 can be made that is located in a region other than the periphery of article 1. In this example, this welding makes it possible to define the area 26 for grabbing the article 1.

In FIG. 14, the article 1 is a foam that is neither bonded nor fixed to the first layer 11 and the second layer 12, but is fixed to each other at their periphery, for example by partial welding. It comprises the layers 17a and 17b made. One portion 28 for fixing the layers 17a and 17b to each other is therefore fixed by welding, while the other portion 29 for fixing to each other is fixed with a Velcro® strip and is removable. The layers 17a and 17b thus form a removable cover 27 that allows the cover to be removed from the rest of the article 1 and, for example, the cover can be washed or replaced. The cover 27 may be further reversible.

In FIG. 15, similar to the example of FIG. 7, the powder puff 1 has only layers 11 and 12 as outer layers. In the example of FIG. 15, a weld is created on the periphery 16 using, for example, ultrasonic or radiofrequency welding.

In the example of FIG. 16, an adhesive layer 32, such as a glue layer 32, is attached to the layer 11, and then the layer 17a is fixed to the layer 11 by adhesive bonding. The layer 32 of the adhesive is applied, for example, by spraying, by screen printing, by coating, or by another method. Of course, if the layer 12 is also covered with a layer of adhesive and the layer 17b is fixed to it from the outside, it does not deviate from the scope of the present invention.

In the embodiment of FIG. 17, the layer 17a is not fixed to the layer 11 by adhesion, and the space between the layer 17a and the layer 11 can be seen in this figure. On the other hand, the layer 17a is fixed at the peripheral edge 16 by welding, for example, ultrasonic waves or high frequency welding. This welding is advantageously carried out at the same time as the welding that bonds the layers 11 and 12 to each other. Of course, if the layer 12 is covered from the outside with a layer 17b fixed in the same manner as the layer 17a, it does not deviate from the scope of the present invention.
