Cosmetic applicator

(Cross reference to related patent applications)

This application claims the benefit and priority of Indian Patent Application No. 201711038344 dated October 29, 2017, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally apply a flowable cosmetic or pharmaceutical product, in particular a liquid, viscous or semi-viscous liquid, emulsion, gel or suspension for applying a cosmetic to a surface, particularly a biological surface, e.g., human skin or keratinous material. It's about the sphere. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to cosmetic applicators that are generally formed of a heat storage material and have at least one supply channel.

Cosmetic applicators, such as dip or wand applicators, are known in the cosmetic industry. Cosmetic packages are often equipped with such applicators to dispense specific cosmetics contained in the package store. Cosmetic applicators are generally used to apply cosmetics or care products, including stem and viscous cosmetics, mascara, eyeliner, lip gloss, hair dye, wound care, skin care, sub-eye cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and similar products with caps at one end. It has an applicator head in the form of a suitable brush, spatula or other applicator structure.

One such applicator for applying and delivering a certain amount of cosmetic product to a user's skin is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,331,085. The applicator comprises a generally cylindrical elastic tip having a long axis, the tip having a distal end portion having a distal end formed with at least one material-retaining concave portion, the concave portion having a rim.

Another U.S. Patent No. 7,481,591 discloses an applicator comprising a rod and a coated surface formed of a plurality of cones. These cones have specific elasticity and mobility, and thus can massage cosmetics accommodated between a plurality of cones.

Although such applicators are generally satisfactory, there is still a need for cosmetic applicators to provide treatment, therapy and/or sensation during use and to apply a satisfactory amount of cosmetics to a biological surface.

According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a cosmetic package is provided that includes a cosmetic applicator for applying a product having a cosmetic or care product. Cosmetics or care products include viscous cosmetics such as mascara, eyebrow stains, lip gloss, hair dyes, skin care, sub-eye cosmetics, medicines and similar products.

According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the applicator includes an applicator head held at a distal end of the stem for applying the product, and a cap provided at the proximal end of the stem.

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the cosmetic package includes a product and a receptacle configured to include a cosmetic applicator. The applicator head is configured to be loaded with the product and inserted into the receptacle to transfer the product onto the surface where the product needs to be applied.

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a wiper is inserted into the neck of the receptacle to wipe excess product from the cosmetic applicator while the cosmetic applicator is removed from the receptacle.

According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the cap of the cosmetic applicator has a thread that can be screwed to a thread formed in the neck of the receptacle.

According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the distal end of the stem has an internal longitudinal cavity for receiving and retaining the applicator head.

According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the applicator head is at least partially composed of a heat storage material capable of maintaining a high or low temperature for application. The heat storage material may include, for example, metal, ceramic, glass, stone, alloy and/or other materials having relatively high heat storage capacity and/or thermal conductivity.

According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the applicator head has a body that includes a proximal portion and a distal portion. The proximal end portion of the applicator head is formed as a shank configured to be received and maintained in an occlusal relationship within the longitudinal cavity of the stem. The distal portion of the applicator head is formed as an application member used to apply the cosmetic product to the target biological surface. The application member of the applicator head further includes at least one side and end surface.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the applicator member of the applicator head further comprises at least one curved side and end face. The applicator member of the applicator head further includes a curved applicator tip having an end face disposed at a predetermined non-zero angle with respect to the central longitudinal axis of the applicator head. More specifically, the end face of the applicator head is inclined with respect to the central longitudinal axis of the applicator head. In this embodiment, the angle is approximately 45 degrees, but in an alternative embodiment the end face can be placed at any other angle relative to the central longitudinal axis of the applicator head. The presence of an inclined end face allows the applicator head to be used in a variety of contact areas. In particular, the product can be applied more quickly while limiting the number of applications. It will be appreciated that the angle of the end face can be varied within the scope of the present invention depending on, for example, the type of cosmetic material to be applied, the goals of the manufacturer and user, and other factors. By way of example, a steeper angle will provide a larger surface area and consequently will allow more cosmetic retention. The inclined end face of the applicator head may be slightly concave or convexly curved.

According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the applicator head includes a longitudinal supply channel disposed within the applicator head. The distal end of the longitudinal feed channel opens to the end face of the applicator head, forming an opening in the end face of the applicator head. The longitudinal feed channel allows filling of the applicator head and thus acts as a cosmetic reservoir or capillary reservoir. In other words, the application member substantially retains the cosmetic product in the longitudinal supply channel through capillary attraction. In addition, the cosmetic retentate is only delivered when the end face with the opening of the longitudinal supply channel is applied to the surface of the living body to be treated, for example the nail or skin to be treated or treated. The dose of cosmetic product to be delivered depends on the viscosity of the product to be delivered and the dimensions of the longitudinal feed channel. Therefore, by changing its width, depth and length, it is possible to accurately deliver a product of the required capacity according to its viscosity. It should be noted that the longitudinal feed channel has the same width throughout its length, but in alternative embodiments the width of the longitudinal feed channel may vary along its length.

According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the longitudinal feed channel may or may not be concentric with the body of the applicator head.

According to another aspect of the present disclosure, when the applicator head is lowered into the cosmetic product accommodated in the receptacle, the longitudinal supply channel is filled with the cosmetic product forming the capillary reservoir of the cosmetic product in the longitudinal supply channel of the applicator head. When the cosmetic applicator is separated from the associated receptacle, the longitudinal feed channel of the applicator head remains filled with cosmetic.

According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the longitudinal feed channel of the applicator head extends over 50 percent of the applicator head length of the applicator head.

According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the longitudinal feed channel of the applicator head is composed of a heat storage material such as metal, ceramic, glass or other material capable of maintaining and conducting high or low temperatures for application to the body.

According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the application member of the applicator head is provided with an air-vent communicating with the longitudinal supply channel by crossing the longitudinal supply channel near the proximal end of the longitudinal supply channel. . In some examples, the longitudinal feed channel has a first diameter, the air vent has a second diameter, and the first diameter is greater than the second diameter. This difference in diameter can be useful, for example, to allow cosmetics to remain in the longitudinal feed channel without escaping through the air vent. Differences in diameter can make it easier for cosmetics to be withdrawn using the capillary action described below. In another example, the air vent and the longitudinal feed channel have the same diameter.

According to another embodiment, the air vent transversely intersects the longitudinal supply channel at the proximal portion of the longitudinal supply channel. In alternative embodiments, the air vent may intersect the longitudinal feed channel at a right angle or at any other angle. The transverse air vent has two opposing openings on at least one curved side of the applicator head. Air enters the longitudinal supply channel, and thus through the opening of the air vent into the capillary reservoir formed in the longitudinal supply channel. When the end face of the applicator head is moved over the surface to be treated, sufficient air enters the capillary reservoir through the air vent and the cosmetic is forced to pass through this longitudinal supply channel and thus a homogeneous and uniform cosmetic flow to the end face. This is guaranteed. Thus, you will find that the opening and longitudinal supply channel of the air vent automatically regulate the cosmetic flow from the capillary reservoir to the end face of the applicator head, which allows air to pass through the opening of the air vent and move to the capillary reservoir. This is due to the fact that the initial evacuation of the cosmetic product causes a partial vacuum in the capillary reservoir of the longitudinal feed channel.

According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the applicator head has an opening in the longitudinal supply channel at the end face of the applicator head, the opening being inclined/tilted. More specifically, the opening is a substantially elliptical opening. In other words, the opening is oriented in a plane inclined with respect to the central longitudinal axis of the applicator head. In a variant embodiment, the opening can have any other desired shape, such as, for example, circular, spatula-like, excluded, elliptical, oval, delta-shaped.

According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the end face of the applicator head is inclined relative to the central longitudinal axis of the applicator head and extends over at least 1/5 of the length of the applicator member of the applicator head. However, in other embodiments of the present disclosure, the end face of the applicator head extends over at least half the length of the applicator head's application member, thus providing a larger contact area during application.

According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the opening of the longitudinal feed channel at the end face of the applicator head occupies less than 50% of the total surface area of the end face.

According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the opening of the longitudinal feed channel at the end face of the applicator head occupies more than 50% of the total surface area of the end face. In some examples, the opening of the longitudinal feed channel at the end face of the applicator head occupies more than 80% of the total surface area of the end face of the applicator head.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, at least one side of the application member includes a constricted side portion that provides a necked portion to the application portion.

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, at least a portion of the outer surface of the application member of the applicator head can be flocked.

According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the applicator head may be of any other desired shape.

According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the proximal end of the applicator head is formed as a shank configured to be received and maintained in an occlusal relationship within the longitudinal cavity of the stem. The applicator head and stem can be fitted together by friction fitting, snap fitting, gluing, crimping, magnetic coupling and any other suitable means known in the art.

In a variant embodiment, the outer surface of the application member may be provided with projections, ribs, grooves, discs, slits, cutouts, holes, dimples, or other surface features or surface treatments (e.g., suitable for loading, transporting and applying cosmetic products) , Polishing).

According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the receptacle may be polypropylene, and the cap and stem may be formed of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene or any other suitable polymer material. The stem can be formed of polyacetal or any other suitable polymer material.

The material for forming the wiper may be low density polyethylene, foam, sponge, sintered block, aggregate of natural or synthetic fibers, woven or nonwoven fiber, plastic, or a combination of these materials. The material for forming various parts of the package of the present disclosure is one example, but other suitable materials may be used.

For ease of understanding, the same reference numbers have been used, where possible, to refer to the same elements that are common in several drawings. It should be noted, however, that the accompanying drawings show only typical embodiments of the present disclosure and should not be considered as limiting the scope, and the present disclosure may admit other equally effective embodiments.

Throughout this specification, the terms “comprises”, “comprising,” and the like will consistently mean that a set of objects is not limited to the objects specifically referred to.

1 is a longitudinal sectional view of the cosmetic package 1. The cosmetic package 1 includes a receptacle 200 and a cosmetic applicator 100 for holding cosmetics (not shown). The cosmetic applicator 100 includes an applicator head 10, a stem 20, and a cap 30. The cosmetic applicator 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may be used to apply a product (not shown) containing a cosmetic or care product. Cosmetics or care products include viscous, semi-viscous or liquid cosmetics, mascara, lip gloss, hair dyes, skin care, sub-eye cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and similar products.

The cap 30 of the cosmetic applicator 100 has a thread 32 that can be screwed to the thread 202 formed on the neck 204 of the receptacle 200 during an unused period.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, what is inserted into the neck 204 of the receptacle 200 is a wiper 206 for wiping off excess product from the applicator 100. The wiper 206 also includes an annular bead 208 for engaging the corresponding annular groove 210 inside the neck 204 of the receptacle 200. In another example, there is no integral wiper structure on the neck 204 of the receptacle 200. In this example, any excess product may be drained as the applicator 100 is removed from the receptacle 200. Alternatively, the applicator head 10 may be pressed or wiped against the inner surface of the neck 204 as the applicator 100 is removed from the receptacle 200.

As shown in FIG. 1, the cap 30 is held at the proximal end of the stem 20 for gripping, and the applicator head 10 is held at the distal end of the stem 20 for cosmetic application. The applicator head 10 in this example is, at least in part, composed of a heat storage material capable of maintaining a high or low temperature for application. The heat storage material may include, for example, metal, ceramic, glass, stone, alloy and/or other materials having relatively high heat storage capacity and/or thermal conductivity.

According to the first exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the applicator head 10 has a body comprising a proximal portion 10a and a distal portion 10b. In this embodiment, the applicator head 10 is of a substantially cylindrical shape, and in alternative embodiments, the applicator head 10 may be of any other desired shape.

2-4, the proximal end 10a of the applicator head 10 is formed as a shank 10a configured to be received and maintained in an occlusal relationship within the longitudinal cavity 22 of the stem 20. (See Figure 1).

The applicator head 10 and stem 20 may be fitted together by frictional fit, snap fit, gluing, crimping, magnetic coupling and any other suitable means known in the art. In the exemplary embodiment as shown in FIG. 1, the applicator head 10 and the stem 20 are fitted together by a friction fit.

1 to 4, the distal portion 10b of the applicator head 10 is an application member 10b having at least one side 12 and a distal end surface 14. In this example, the applicator head 10 has a curved applicator tip 16 having an end face 14 disposed at an angle relative to the central longitudinal axis X of the applicator head 10. The presence of the inclined end face 14 allows the applicator head 10 to be used in different contact areas. In particular, the product can be applied more quickly while limiting the number of applications. In this example, the angle is approximately 45 degrees. It will be appreciated that the angle of the end face 14 can be varied within the scope of the present invention depending on, for example, the type of cosmetic material to be applied, the goals of the manufacturer and user, and other factors. By way of example, a sharper angle will provide a larger surface area and consequently will allow more cosmetic retention. At least one side 12 of the applicator head 10 is curved due to the cylindrical body of the applicator 10b.

As can be seen with reference to Figure 3, the applicator head 10 includes a longitudinal supply channel 18 disposed within the applicator head 10 concentric with the cylindrical body of the applicator head 10a. The distal end of the longitudinal feed channel 18 opens to the end face 14, forming an opening 18a in the end face 14. The longitudinal feed channel 18 acts as a cosmetic reservoir or capillary reservoir. In other words, the application member 10 substantially retains the cosmetic product in the longitudinal supply channel 18 through capillary attraction. In addition, the cosmetic retentate is only delivered when the end face 14 having the opening 18a is applied to the surface of the living body to be treated, for example, the nail or skin to be treated or treated. The dose of cosmetic product to be delivered depends on the viscosity of the product to be delivered and the dimensions of the longitudinal feed channel 18. Therefore, by changing its width, depth and length, it is possible to accurately deliver a product of the required capacity according to its viscosity. It should be noted that the longitudinal feed channel 18 shown in FIG. 3 has the same width throughout its length. In an alternative embodiment, the width of the longitudinal feed channel 18 can be varied along its length.

When the applicator head 10 descends into the cosmetic housed in the receptacle 200, a longitudinal supply channel 18 forms the capillary reservoir of the cosmetic product in the longitudinal supply channel 18 of the applicator head 10. Filled with cosmetics. When the cosmetic applicator 100 is separated from the associated receptacle 200, the longitudinal supply channel 18 of the applicator head 10 remains filled with cosmetic product. Here, the longitudinal feed channel 18 is generally concentric with the applicator member 10a of the applicator head 10, but non-concentric arrangements are possible within the scope of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 3, the applicator head 10 is provided with an air vent 17 in communication with the longitudinal channel 18 near the proximal end of the longitudinal supply channel 18, that is, the air vent 17 Cross at the proximal end of the longitudinal feed channel 18. The air vent 17 can transversely intersect the longitudinal supply channel 18 at the proximal end of the longitudinal supply channel 18 as shown in FIG. 3. In other embodiments, the air vent 17 may intersect the longitudinal feed channel 18 at a non-vertical angle. The transverse air vent 17 has two oppositely opposed openings 17a, 17b present on the cylindrical side 12 of the applicator head 10. Air enters the longitudinal supply channel 18 and thus enters the capillary reservoir formed in the longitudinal supply channel 18 through the openings 17a, 17b of the longitudinal vent or passage 17. When the end face 14 of the applicator head 10 is moved over the surface to be treated, sufficient air enters the capillary reservoir through the air vent 17 and the cosmetic is forced to pass through this longitudinal supply channel 18 And thus a homogeneous and uniform cosmetic flow to the end face 14 is ensured.

In some examples, the longitudinal feed channel 18 has a first diameter, the air vent has a second diameter, and the first diameter is greater than the second diameter. This difference in diameter can be useful, for example, to allow cosmetics to remain in the longitudinal feed channel without escaping through the air vent. Differences in diameter can make it easier for cosmetics to be withdrawn using the capillary action described below. In another example, the air vent and the longitudinal feed channel have the same diameter.

Thus, it will be appreciated that the openings 17a, 17b of the air vent 17 and the supply channel 18 automatically regulate the cosmetic flow from the capillary reservoir to the end face 14 of the applicator head 10, This is due to the fact that the partial evacuation in the capillary reservoir of the supply channel 18 is caused by the initial discharge of cosmetics that allows air to pass through the openings 17a and 17b to the capillary reservoir.

According to one aspect of this embodiment, the longitudinal feed channel 18 extends over 50 percent of the length of the applicator member 10b of the applicator head with a curved tip 16 (see FIG. 3). In another embodiment, the longitudinal feed channel 18 extends over or less than 50% of the length of the applicator member 10b of the applicator head, with a curved tip 16.

The longitudinal feed channel 18 is composed of heat storage materials such as metal, ceramic, glass or other materials capable of maintaining and conducting high or low temperatures for application to the body.

The applicator head 10 allows the cosmetic to remain within the supply channel 18 as well as against the large surface area provided by the side 12, applicator tip 16 and end surface 14 of the applicator 10b. It can be designed/configured. Due to this, the cosmetic product can be successfully applied to the user's body in a state that requires less insertion of the applicator 100 into the open interior volume of the receptacle 200. In addition, the surface contours and surface variations provided by the cylindrical side 12, the curved applicator tip 16, and the end surface 14 can enable cosmetics to be applied with various properties according to the user's goals.

According to another aspect of this embodiment shown in Figures 2-4, the applicator head has an opening 18a on the inclined end face 14. More specifically, the opening 18a is a substantially elliptical opening. In other words, the opening 18a is oriented in a plane inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis X of the applicator head 10. In a variant embodiment, the opening 18a can have any other desired shape, such as, for example, a spatula, exclusion, oval, ellipse, delta shape.

6 to 9, these figures show an applicator head 300 according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure. Like the applicator head 10, the applicator head 300 is also made of a heat storage material selected from the group of metal, ceramic, glass, stone, alloy and/or combinations thereof. The applicator head 300 differs from the applicator head 10 with respect to the shape of the applicator member described herein. The application member 300b of the applicator head 300 has an end surface 314 and at least one curved side surface 312. The end face 314 is inclined relative to the longitudinal axis Y of the applicator head 300 and extends over at least half the length of the applicator member 300b, thus providing a larger contact area during application. The coating member 300b has a longitudinal supply channel 318 disposed within the applicator head 300, the distal end of the longitudinal supply channel 318 being open to the end face 314, the end face 314 ), an opening 318a is formed. The opening 318a of the longitudinal feed channel 318 occupies less than 50% of the total surface area of the end face 314. The coating member 300b is provided with a transverse air vent 317 in communication with the longitudinal supply channel 318 near the proximal end of the longitudinal supply channel 318. In other embodiments, the air vent 317 may intersect the longitudinal feed channel 318 at a non-vertical angle. The transverse air vent 17 has two oppositely opposed openings 317a, 317b present on the side 312 of the application member 300b. In addition, at least one curved side 312 of the application member 300b includes a constricted side portion 312b that provides a necked appearance.

10-13, these drawings show an applicator head 400 according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure. Like the applicator head 10, the applicator head 400 is also composed of a heat storage material selected from the group of metal, ceramic, glass, stone, alloy, and/or combinations thereof. The applicator head 400 is different from the applicator head 10 with respect to the shape of the applicator member described herein. The coating member 400b of the applicator head 400 is spheroidal or egg-shaped and has a distal end surface 414 and at least one curved side 412. The end face 414 is positioned at a non-zero angle with respect to the central longitudinal axis Y of the applicator head 300, and more specifically, the end face 414 is relative to the central longitudinal axis Y of the applicator head 400. It forms a 90 degree angle. The application member 400b has a longitudinal supply channel 418 disposed within the applicator head 400, the distal end of the longitudinal supply channel 418 being open to the end surface 414, the end surface 414 ), an opening 418a is formed. In some examples, the opening 418a of the longitudinal supply channel 418 occupies more than 50% of the total surface area of the end face 414. In another example, the opening 418a occupies more than 80% of the total surface area of the end face 414, as shown in FIG. The coating member 400b is provided with a transverse air vent 417 in communication with the longitudinal supply channel 418 near the proximal end of the longitudinal supply channel 418. In other embodiments, the air vent 417 may intersect the longitudinal feed channel 418 at a non-vertical angle. The transverse air vent 417 has two oppositely opposed openings 417a, 417b present on the side 412 of the application member 400b. At least one side 412 of the application member 400b includes a constricted side portion 412b that provides a necked appearance. Since the opening 418a of the longitudinal supply channel 418 occupies more than 50% or 80% of the total surface area of the end face 414, the user dispenses the product from the longitudinal supply channel 418 and curves it. The end face 414 can only be used to diffuse using the mold side 412.

According to one aspect of this embodiment, at least a portion of the outer surface of the applicator heads 10, 300, 400 can be planted.

According to one aspect of this embodiment, when the applicator heads 10, 300, 400 are withdrawn from the receptacle 200, the wiper 206 ensures that a minimal amount of product is retained on the sides 12, 312, 412. The applicator heads 10, 300, 400 are cleaned. In embodiments in which the receptacle 200 does not have any wiper structure, any excess product may be released from the applicator heads 10, 300, 400 when the applicator head is withdrawn from the receptacle 200.
