Description

The present invention relates to an applicator designed to apply substances to keratinous fibers, in particular the eyelashes or eyebrows.
In particular, the present invention has a rod with an end extending along a longitudinal axis and a brush secured to the end of the rod, the brush comprising a core and bristles extending from a bristle support portion of the core. About.
In particular, the present invention provides an applicator in which the entire core does not extend on the axis of the rod.

Many applicators of this type are known.
In particular, FR-A-2,798,267 discloses that the brush can be removed from the rod so that the free end of the brush can be removed from the receptacle wall containing the material to be applied. An applicator that is angled is described. In such an applicator, the angle between the tangent of the bristle support portion of the core when the core is straight or the distal end of the core and the longitudinal axis of the rod when the core is curved is very large. .

  Other applicators having a brush with a non-linear core are described in French Patent Application 2,749,490, European Patent Application 832,580, European Patent Application 1, No. 236,419, European Patent Application Publication No. 1,236,420 and European Patent Application Publication No. 1,236,421.

  In some applicators, the brush rod end of the bristle support portion of the core makes a very large angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the rod, for example 30 ° or more. At such large angles, the user must first ascertain the orientation of the core before using the brush, which complicates the movements required to make up.

  The present invention aims to provide a further and improved applicator which is specifically designed to make up the eyelashes and eyebrows.

One feature of the present invention is an applicator for applying a substance to keratinous fibers, particularly eyelashes or eyebrows, comprising a rod having an end extending along a longitudinal axis and a brush fixed to the end of the rod. The brush comprises a core and bristles extending from the bristle support portion of the core, and all points of the bristle support portion form a non-zero angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the end of the rod. Achieves the above object with an applicator characterized by being less than 20 °.
The bristles have a free end with at least one envelope surface with a non-circular cross section.
The bristle support portion of the core may be straight.

The present invention has a very small angle between the brush and the rod and can be used without the need for the user to first ascertain the orientation of the core about the axis of the rod and thus, if necessary, substantially with conventional applicators. An applicator is provided that can be used in the same motion and extends linearly with the core generally aligned with the longitudinal axis of the end of the rod.
In addition, if the envelope cross-section is non-circular in at least one location, the present invention will firstly provide a core that does not extend in alignment with the longitudinal axis of the end of the rod as a whole and a second cross-section. Provides advantages associated with the provision of a non-circular envelope.

In particular, the brush may comprise at least one longitudinal ridge, which, as a synergy with the inclination of the core, allows the bristles of the brush to more easily and efficiently comb and curl the eyelashes. Make good penetration between the eyelashes in a way that you can.
In addition, the brush can be vibrated while the applicator is being rotated about the axis of the rod during application, thereby allowing the bristles of the brush to more efficiently grip the eyelashes.

  The bristle support portion of the core should be angled with respect to the longitudinal axis of the end of the rod, which angle is less than 20 °, in particular less than 15 °, and better still less than 10 °, for example about 8 °. It is. The angle formed by the bristle support part of the core with respect to the longitudinal axis of the rod is in particular 0.2 ° to 20 °, preferably 0.5 ° to 15 °, better 1 °, or 5 ° to 10 °. .

The core may be substantially straight along at least the bristle support portion. If the core is not straight, the angle at any point of the core relative to the longitudinal axis of the end of the rod is given by the tangent of the core's longitudinal axis at this point.
The distance between the far end of the bristle support portion of the core as viewed from the rod and the longitudinal axis X of the end of the rod is determined by the length of the brush. In certain embodiments, this distance may be less than 7.5 millimeters (mm), or for example less than 4.5 mm, for example about 3 mm.

The longitudinal axis of the bristle support portion of the core may extend into a plane that also includes the longitudinal axis of the end of the rod. The brush may have an envelope surface with a long-axis transverse cross section perpendicular to the plane described above. The above-mentioned cross section should have a lens shape, for example.
As an example, the brush may further include at least one face (face) or facet perpendicular to the plane.

  The longitudinal axis of the bristle support portion of the core may extend entirely on the same side of the plane containing the longitudinal axis of the end of the rod. The far end of the bristle support portion as viewed from the rod may be the farthest point of the bristle support portion as viewed from the longitudinal axis of the end of the rod.

The brush may comprise at least one longitudinal ridge, and in a non-limiting example, the brush may have, for example, 2-8 ridges.
The brush may comprise at least one flat or concave surface or facet. The brush may further comprise at least one convex surface or facet, particularly with a radius of curvature when the brush is viewed in cross-section, which radius of curvature from the core to the convex surface or face of the cross section. Greater than the longest bristle length extending to the set.

The core may consist of at least two twisted strands, in particular two twisted metal strands obtained by folding the metal wire in half.
The strands may be twisted at the left pitch or, alternatively, may be twisted at the right pitch.

The envelope surface may be of constant cross section over most or all of the length of the bristle support portion of the core.
For example, the envelope surface may include at least a part of a cross section having different dimensions but not different shapes.
As an example, the cross section of the envelope surface is polygonal, in particular triangular, square, pentagonal, hexagonal, laterally long, in particular elliptical, lens-shaped, star-shaped, in particular, at least one part of the core. It may have a star shape with six branches, or an overall shape selected from the group consisting of keyhole shapes.

With respect to at least one cross section of the envelope surface, the core may define a center of symmetry of this cross section.
The core may be offset from the center at least at one location along the length of the brush.
It is preferable to have at least two sets of bristles with different diameters.

The applicator may have at least one set of bristles made of an elastic material, in particular an elastomer.
Applicators include formulations designed to make bristles slippery on keratinous fibers, or conversely create a rough surface, thereby enhancing grip on keratinous fibers, such as particulate formulations It may have at least one set of bristles.

  The applicator may have a blend or combination of bristles. The applicator may have at least one bristle with at least one undulation, in particular the applicator has at least two bristles each having at least one periodic pattern comprising at least one undulation. And at least two periodic patterns are different from each other. The two periodic patterns may be part of two separate bristles or a single bristle and the corrugations may have different shapes from each other, e.g. It may be sinusoidal, or it may be a waveform portion with various amplitudes or various spatial frequencies. The term “periodic pattern” means a portion of the bristles that repeats substantially periodically along the bristles.

  The applicator may have bristles with a core other than the bristles made by injection molding, and the brush has at least one portion with curved bristles extending in an orientation from the core. Good. The term “extends in an oriented state” means that the curved bristles are given during the manufacture of the brush and extend in the same orientation as a whole, rather than in a random orientation. The bristles should in particular be oriented in the same circumferential direction around the core. The bristles of the brush should be curved by contact with a hot surface, particularly a surface that can move relative to the brush. This surface may for example be composed of a material with a relatively low thermal conductivity, for example silicone, a fluorinated polymer, for example polytetrafluoroethylene or an inorganic material other than metal, in particular graphite.

  The applicator may have a torsional core that constitutes a single turn, and the bristles are sandwiched between the turns of the brush. According to one aspect of the applicator, the brush may have at least two bending bristles sandwiched between two adjacent single turns, and material is somewhat removed from the bristles. As a variant, the bristles may be flattened at at least one point along their length, and the bristles may extend non-radially from this point towards the outside. Each of the bending bristles may have two linear portions that are angled with respect to each other. The two linear portions may have the same transverse cross section. All the bending bristles should constitute a bent portion located at substantially the same distance from the core.

The applicator may have 5 to 80 bristles during a single turn, for example 10 to 50 bristles during a single turn. The brush may also have fewer bristles, for example 5-20 bristles in a single turn. The number of bristles in a single turn corresponds to the number of free ends of the bristles counted by an observer who is not moving while rotating the brush 180 ° around the brush core.
The applicator may have torsion bristles.

  In a non-limiting feature of the invention, the rod is connected to a handle. The handle may be configured in a manner that hermetically closes the receptacle containing the material to be applied, and the receptacle may include a wiper member.

  The present invention also includes, as another feature, an applicator for applying a substance to keratinous fibers, particularly eyelashes or eyebrows, alone or in combination with the above, with an end extending along the longitudinal axis X. A rod and a brush secured to the end of the rod, the brush comprising a core and bristles extending from a bristle support portion of the core, the bristles being preferably non-circular in cross section at least at one location The rod end of the bristle support portion has a non-zero angle with respect to the longitudinal axis X, and the bristle support portion has a free end of the brush from the middle along its length The longitudinal axis X intersects the envelope of the distal end, and the bristle support portion is longitudinal at the far end as viewed from the rod rather than in the middle. Further away from the direction axis X To provide an applicator which is characterized in that it is selfish position.

  Another feature of the present invention is a packaging device with an applicator for applying a substance to keratinous fibers, particularly eyelashes and / or eyebrows, comprising a receptacle for containing the substance and the applicator described above. Provide equipment to do. The instrument may further include a wiper arranged to wipe the brush while it is being removed from the receptacle.

  The subject matter of the invention will be better understood when the following detailed description of a non-limiting embodiment of the invention is read with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a receptacle 2 containing a substance P to be applied to eyelashes or eyebrows, for example, mascara, and a handle 6 provided with a brush 5 at one end 4a and the other end also serving as a closure cap of the receptacle 2. 1 shows a packaging device with an applicator having an applicator 3 comprising a rod 4 with a circular cross section. The receptacle comprises a wiper member 7 made of an elastomeric piece inserted into the neck 8 of the receptacle, for example. Of course, other types of wipers can be used.

In the example shown, the rod 4 has a linear longitudinal axis X that coincides with the axis of the neck 8 of the receptacle 2 when the applicator is in place in the receptacle.
The handle 6 is configured to hermetically close the receptacle 2 when the handle is completely screwed onto the neck 8 in a manner known per se.

In the illustrated example, the wiper member 7 has a circular cross-section orifice 9 with a diameter substantially corresponding to the diameter of the rod 4.
The brush 5 has a core 10 made of two twisted metal strands, one end of which is fixed in the housing of the rod 4, for example press-fitted in this housing.

  Referring to FIG. 2, it can be seen that the core 10 includes portions 12 that support the bristles 11, which are held by being clamped between the twisted strands of the core 10. Extending substantially radially from the core 10 in a manner.

  In the illustrated example, the portion 12 of the core 10 is linear and includes a longitudinal axis Y at least at the rod-side end 12a that forms an angle α with the longitudinal axis X.

  In FIG. 2, the envelope surface E constituted by the free ends of the bristles 11 of the brush 5 is indicated by dotted lines.

  In FIG. 1, it should be observed that the brush 5 cannot contact the wall of the receptacle 2 when the applicator is in place. Of course, it is within the scope of the present invention for the receptacle 2 to be sized and shaped so that the brush 5 contacts the wall of the receptacle 2.

In the example shown, the core 10 supports the bristles 11 throughout the substantial length of that portion extending beyond the rod 4.
The portion 12 includes a distal end 13 that extends from the length of the middle portion M of the length to the free end of the brush.

  In the example shown, the angle α is small enough for the axis X to intersect the envelope of the distal circular end 13 at location A, for example about 8 °.

  The distance d between the axis X and the axis Y at the brush free end 12b is less than 4.5 mm, for example about 3 mm. Of course, this distance d is determined by the length of the brush and should be 4.5 mm or more, which does not depart from the scope of the present invention. The distance d ′ from the intermediate part M of the portion 12 to the axis X is less than the distance d.

  The longitudinal axis Y of the part 12 as a whole includes the axis X and extends on the same side of the plane R perpendicular to the plane of FIG. 2, and the axis Y extends in the plane of this figure.

As can be seen in FIG. 3, the envelope surface E of the brush is preferably provided with a non-circular cross section at least at one location along its length, which is, for example, a prismatic shape in the illustrated example.
More particularly, in this example, the brush is of a substantially triangular cross section with three longitudinal ridges 15 and three substantially flat surfaces or faces 16 extending between the ridges. In general, the brush should have a cross section that may be constant or constant but not constant over most of its length or throughout its length.

  In the example of FIGS. 1 and 2, the cross-section of the brush remains substantially the same shape towards its free end, i.e., decreases in size while preserving the triangular shape. The ridge 15 is substantially surrounded by the conical surface of the axis Y.

  In order to produce the brush 5, it is possible to start with a blank with an enveloping surface that is cylindrical around the axis Y of the core, for example, which is straight and has a longitudinal axis of the rod 4 In alignment with X, and then machining the brush 5 to give it a conical shape that tapers towards its free end, cutting the three faces 16 and finally the core 10 is bent, and the desired inclination angle α is given to the core 10 through the rod 4.

  In order to apply makeup, the user unscrews the applicator and removes the brush from the receptacle 2, and this brush is wiped as it passes through the wiper member 7. If the angle α is a small value, for example less than 10 °, the user can use the applicator 3 without having to first confirm the orientation of the core 10 about the axis X before applying the material and combing the eyelashes. .

  If necessary, the user can turn the brush 5 slightly around the axis X. While applying makeup, the ridges 15 can act like combs that separate eyelashes that can stick to each other at certain locations if the material is excessive. The comb comb effect can be promoted particularly when the circumferential dimension of the ridge 15 is, for example, 2 mm or less. Due to the inclination angle α of the core, the edge of the brush can gradually change its direction as it turns around the axis X of the rod, thereby improving comb combing and curling of the eyelashes and making the bristle of the brush the eyelashes It becomes possible to enter between each other more effectively.

It will be appreciated that various design variations can be made to the applicator, particularly the brush, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
In particular, the brush can have various cross-sections, for example, a square as shown in FIG. 4, a pentagon as shown in FIG. 5, or a hexagon as shown in FIG.

  In one example, the brush comprises at least one flat surface 28 as shown in FIG. 7, at least one concave side 29 as shown in FIG. 8, or at least one convex side 30 as shown in FIG. It is preferable to further have an envelope surface of a circular cross section having

  In FIG. 9, it can be seen that the brush may have an envelope with a transversely long cross section, and in particular the cross section may be in the form of a lens with a major axis Z and a minor axis W.

  10 and 11 show the brush 5 having an envelope surface of a lens-shaped cross section observed along the long axis Z of FIG. 10 and along the short axis W of FIG.

Of course, the core may have been bent in some other way without departing from the scope of the invention, in particular the core was bent around an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X. The vertical axis may have an orientation about the longitudinal axis Z.
As shown in FIG. 12, the brush preferably further has an enveloping surface having a cross section forming a notch 33.
The core 10 may also be offset from the center at at least one location of the brush as shown in FIG. 13 with respect to the cross section of the envelope surface.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the brush may have a keyhole-shaped cross-section envelope as a whole, such as the keyhole-shaped cross-section having short bristles 34 over most of its periphery and the rest of its periphery. It has long bristles 35 over it. Such brushes also form notches.

  This does not depart from the scope of the present invention, even if the envelope surface has a substantially constant cross section over most of the length of the bristle support portion 12 of the core as shown in FIG.

It is possible to use any type of bristles in a brush made according to the present invention, in particular bristles with a cross-section other than circular.
In particular, it is possible to use combinations of different types of bristles or combinations of different lengths of bristles that may or may not be of the same type.

In particular, one of the shapes schematically shown in FIGS. 16 to 33, for example, a circular shape with a flat portion as shown in FIG. 16, a flat shape as shown in FIG. 17, a star shape For example, a star shape having a cross shape as shown in FIG. 18 or a star shape having three branches as shown in FIG. 19, a U shape as shown in FIG. 20, an H shape as shown in FIG. 23, a V-shape as shown in FIG. 23, a hollow shape, for example, a circle as shown in FIG. 24, or a square as shown in FIG. 25, a shape forming a branch, for example as shown in FIG. 27, a prismatic cross section as shown in FIG. 27, for example, a triangle, a square as shown in FIG. 28, or a hexagon as shown in FIG. 29, a horizontally long shape, in particular, a lens shape as shown in FIG. It is possible to use bristles with one of the hourglass shapes as shown in It is.
It is also possible to use bristles provided with at least one capillary groove 36 as shown in FIG.

The bristles 11 held between the twisted strands of the core may have a straight shape before being placed in place between the core strands, or alternatively as a non-linear shape, e.g. As shown by 34, you may provide the shape which waved up and down.
The bristles may be processed such that their ends form a bead 37 as shown in FIG. 35 or a fork 38 as shown in FIG.

  37. Flocked bristles or particles 39 as shown in FIG. 37, for example plastics containing particles of a material that absorbs moisture to give microrelief to the bristles surface as shown in FIG. 38 or to give bristles magnetism or other properties Bristles made by extruding material can be used.

The bristles may be made of a material that provides slippery properties.
The bristles may be natural or synthetic, for example selected from PE, PA, in particular PA6, PA6 / 6, PA6 / 10 or PA6 / 12, HYTREL®-PEBAX®, silicone, PU The material is preferably made of, but not limited to.
The strands of the core may be twisted left or right.

It is particularly advantageous to use a brush with a left pitch, as will be described below with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 39 shows the brush 5 having a left-pitch twisted core, and FIG. 40 shows a left-pitch twisted core. The dash-dot line shows the path of the sheet N constituted by the ends of the bristles, which make an angle β with the plane perpendicular to the core. It may be helpful to refer to EP 611,170.

  The core may be a dual core formed by twisting together two already twisted component cores as shown in FIG. Each component core may consist of two strands that are twisted together to hold the bristles. Each of the two component cores may have been constituted by branches corresponding to each of the component twisted cores folded back into a U-shape, and then these two branches are twisted together.

Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above.
In the example shown in FIG. 2, the bristle support portion 12 of the core is straight, but a slight curvature of the core does not depart from the scope of the present invention.
In addition, in the example of FIG. 2, the free end of the bristle support portion 12 of the core constitutes the furthest point of the bristle support portion as viewed from the axis X. There is no need.
The brush may have one or more notches that optionally form a concave facet.

Throughout this specification, with respect to the number of components, the term “comprises a” means “comprises at least of” unless otherwise specified. Should be understood to be synonymous with.
