This device particularly enables eyelashes to be made up with mascara.

Description

"Dispositif de maquillage en particulier pour les cils" "Make-up device, in particular for the eyelashes"
La présente invention a essentiellement pour objet un dispositif de maquillage, en particulier pour les cils.The present invention essentially relates to a makeup device, in particular for the eyelashes.
IL a déjà été proposé des dispositifs de maquillage pour les cils comprenant, d'une manière générale, une brosse portée par un bouchon susceptible d'obturer un réservoir qui contient un produit de maquillage, tel que par exemple du mascara, et qui est muni, à l'entrée, d'un élément souple avec orifice.There have already been proposed makeup devices for the eyelashes comprising, in general, a brush carried by a plug capable of closing a reservoir which contains a makeup product, such as for example mascara, and which is provided , at the entrance, of a flexible element with orifice.
Ainsi, on peut introduire la brosse, tenue par le bouchon, dans le réservoir, et cela par passage de la brosse au travers de l'orifice central de l'élément souple, lequel orifice est d'un diamètre plus petit que celui de la brosse. Autrement dit, la brosse plongera dans le réservoir pour ainsi s'imbiber de produit de maquillage.Thus, the brush, held by the cap, can be introduced into the reservoir, and this by passing the brush through the central orifice of the flexible element, which orifice is of a smaller diameter than that of the brush. In other words, the brush will dive into the tank to soak up the makeup product.
Lorsqu'on veut utiliser la brosse, on l'extrait évidemment du réservoir et, lors de cette extraction, elle sera essorée par passage quelque peu à force au travers de l'orifice de l'élément souple situé à l'entrée du réservoir.When you want to use the brush, you obviously extract it from the tank and, during this extraction, it will be wrung out by passing it somewhat forcefully through the orifice of the flexible element located at the inlet of the tank.
Toutefois, les dispositifs de maquillage du genre ci-dessus et connus jusqu'à maintenant étaient d'une conception mécanique très rudimentaire et ne permettaient pas un essorage approprié de la brosse à l'extraction de celle-ci du réservoir, tandis qu'à la ré-introduction dans ce réservoir, la brosse laissait un dépôt de produit important salissant ainsi l'ouverture dudit réservoir.However, the make-up devices of the above type and known up to now were of a very rudimentary mechanical design and did not allow suitable wringing of the brush when it was extracted from the reservoir, while at re-introduction into this tank, the brush left a large deposit of product thus dirtying the opening of said tank.
D'un autre côté il a déjà été proposé des dispositifs de maquillage comportant un système d'essorage relativement compliqué et onéreux, et ne possédant pas toutes les qualités voulues de fiabilité permettant une insertion très facile de la brosse dans le réservoir 5 sans raclage de cette brosse et une extraction également facile de cette brosse, avec cependant une résistance assez marquée au niveau de l'orifice de l'élément souple de façon à réaliser un essorage satisfaisant de ladite brosse. 10On the other hand, devices have already been proposed. makeup comprising a relatively complicated and expensive wiping system, and not having all the desired qualities of reliability allowing very easy insertion of the brush into the reservoir 5 without scraping of this brush and also easy extraction of this brush, with however, a fairly marked resistance at the orifice of the flexible element so as to produce a satisfactory spin of said brush. 10
Aussi, la présente invention a pour but de proposer un dispositif de maquillage perfectionné qui remédie aux inconvénients ci-dessus.Also, the present invention aims to provide an improved makeup device which overcomes the above drawbacks.
15 A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de maquillage, en particulier pour les cils, et du type comprenant une brosse portée par un bouchon susceptible d'obturer un réservoir qui contient un produit de maquillage, tel que par exemple du mascara, et qui estTo this end, the subject of the invention is a make-up device, in particular for the eyelashes, and of the type comprising a brush carried by a plug capable of closing off a reservoir which contains a make-up product, such as for example mascara, and who is
20 muni à l'entrée d'un élément souple avec orifice permettant l'introduction de la brosse dans le réservoir et l'essorage de cette brosse lorsqu'on l'extrait du réservoir, caractérisé en ce que ledit élément souple est monté entre deux butées de forme20 provided at the inlet with a flexible element with orifice allowing the introduction of the brush into the reservoir and the wringing of this brush when extracted from the reservoir, characterized in that said flexible element is mounted between two form stops
25 telle qu'elles confèrent à cet élément une flexibilité différente dans le sens axial et à savoir une flexibilité plus grande à l'introduction de la brosse dans le réservoir et une flexibilité plus faible, c'est-à-dire une résistance plus grande, au retrait de25 such that they give this element a different flexibility in the axial direction and namely a greater flexibility in the introduction of the brush into the reservoir and a lower flexibility, that is to say a greater resistance , upon withdrawal of
30 la brosse du réservoir.30 the reservoir brush.
Suivant une autre caractéristique de ce dispositif, l'une des butées, à savoir celle située du côté de l'ouverture du réservoir, s'étend radialement vers ~_ -' l'axe du réservoir, plus loin que l'autre butée située de 1 autre côté de l'éménent souple, c'est-à-dire du côté de l'intérieur du réservoir. Selon encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la butée située du côté de l'ouverture du réservoir est constituée par un anneau en matière dure de préférence rapporté dans ladite ouverture, tandis que l'autre butée est constituée par un epaulement annulaire formé dans la paroi du réservoir.According to another characteristic of this device, one of the stops, namely that located on the side of the opening of the tank, extends radially towards ~ _ - 'the axis of the tank, further than the other stop located on the other side of the flexible element, that is to say on the side of the interior of the tank. According to yet another characteristic of the invention, the stop located on the side of the opening of the reservoir is constituted by a ring of hard material preferably attached in said opening, while the other stop is constituted by an annular shoulder formed in the tank wall.
On précisera encore ici que l'anneau en matière dure précité, comporte, du côté de l'élément souple, une partie intérieure sensiblement cylindrique, qui correspond sensiblement au diamètre de la brosse et qui est suivi, du côté de l'ouverture du réservoir, par une partie sensiblement tronconique.It will also be specified here that the aforementioned ring of hard material comprises, on the side of the flexible element, a substantially cylindrical inner part, which corresponds substantially to the diameter of the brush and which is followed, on the side of the opening of the reservoir. , by a substantially frustoconical part.
Suivant encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'élément souple précité est constitué par au moins une rondelle souple fendue suivant au moins son diamètre.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, the aforementioned flexible element is constituted by at least one flexible washer split along at least its diameter.
A la rondelle souple précitée peut être superposée une autre rondelle souple fendue elle aussi suivant au moins son diamètre, et de telle façon que la fente d'une rondelle soit orthogonale à la fente de l'autre rondelle.Another flexible washer can also be superimposed on the aforementioned flexible washer, also following at least its diameter, and in such a way that the slot of one washer is orthogonal to the slot of the other washer.
Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la rondelle souple précitée comporte de part et d'autre de sa fente diamétrale, une partie en matière plus dure ou plus épaisse et moins déformable que la partie restante de la rondelle.According to another characteristic of the invention, the aforementioned flexible washer comprises on either side of its diametral slot, a part made of harder or thicker material and less deformable than the remaining part of the washer.
Suivant un autre mode de réalisation, l'élément souple précité est constitué par au moins une rondelle comportant des parties radiales et une partie annulaire plus minces que la partie restante de la rondelle. Selon encore une variante, l'élément souple précité est constitué par une rondelle souple comportant des fentes radiales s'étendant depuis l'orifice central de la rondelle et délimitant des secteurs qui sont éventuellement munis chacun d'une ailette s'étendant radialement et disposée orthogonalement au plan du secteur qui la porte.According to another embodiment, the aforementioned flexible element consists of at least one washer comprising radial parts and an annular part thinner than the remaining part of the washer. According to yet another variant, the aforementioned flexible element consists of a flexible washer comprising radial slots extending from the central orifice of the washer and delimiting sectors which are optionally each provided with a fin extending radially and arranged orthogonally to the plan of the sector which carries it.
Mais d'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront mieux dans la description détaillée qui suit et se réfère aux dessins annexés, donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple, et dans lesquels :However, other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear better in the detailed description which follows and refers to the appended drawings, given solely by way of example, and in which:
La figure 1 est une vue schématique et en coupe axiale d'un dispositif de maquillage conforme aux principes selon cette invention .Figure 1 is a schematic view in axial section of a makeup device according to the principles according to this invention.
Les figures 2 à 6, sont des vues en plan et de dessus de respectivement cinq réalisations d'éléments souples pouvant équiper le dispositif selon cette invention .Figures 2 to 6 are plan views and from above respectively of five embodiments of flexible elements which can be fitted to the device according to this invention.
Les figures 7 et 8 sont des vues en coupe suivant respectivement les lignes VII-VII et VIII-VIII de la figure 6 .Figures 7 and 8 are sectional views along lines VII-VII and VIII-VIII respectively in Figure 6.
La figure 9 est une vue schématique et en perspective d'encore un autre mode de réalisation d'élément souple permettant un essorage efficace de la brosse à l'extraction du réservoir.FIG. 9 is a schematic perspective view of yet another embodiment of a flexible element allowing effective wringing of the brush on extraction from the reservoir.
En se reportant à la figure 1, on voit une brosse 1 solidaire de l'extrémité d'une tige 2 dont l'autre extrémité est solidaire d'un bouchon 3 qui peut être vissé sur l'ouverture 4 d'un récipient R formant un réservoir 5 pouvant contenir un produit de maquillage pour les cils, tel que par exemple du mascara. A l'entrée du réservoir 5 est prévu un élément souple 6 présentant par exemple la forme d'une rondelle et muni d'un orifice central 7 par lequel peut être introduite la brosse 1 dans le réservoir 5 pour plonger dans ledit réservoir, et par lequel peut être extraite ladite brosse qui sera essorée par le bord de cet orifice après franchissement de celui-ci.Referring to Figure 1, we see a brush 1 secured to the end of a rod 2 whose other end is secured to a plug 3 which can be screwed onto the opening 4 of a container R forming a reservoir 5 which may contain a makeup product for the eyelashes, such as for example mascara. At the entrance to the reservoir 5 is provided a flexible element 6 having for example the shape of a washer and provided with a central orifice 7 through which the brush 1 can be introduced into the reservoir 5 to plunge into said reservoir, and by which can be extracted said brush which will be wrung by the edge of this orifice after crossing thereof.
On remarquera ici que, comme cela est connu en soi, le diamètre de l'orifice 7 est plus petit que celui de la brosse 1, de façon à réaliser l'essorage de la brosse, et également le raclage de la tige 2.It will be noted here that, as is known per se, the diameter of the orifice 7 is smaller than that of the brush 1, so as to wring the brush, and also the scraping of the rod 2.
Conformément à l'invention, l'élément ou rondelle souple 6 est monté à l'entrée du réservoir 5 entre deux butées, à savoir une butée 8 située du côté de l'ouverture 4 du récipient R, et une butée 9 située du côté de l'intérieur du réservoir 5.According to the invention, the flexible element or washer 6 is mounted at the inlet of the reservoir 5 between two stops, namely a stop 8 located on the side of the opening 4 of the container R, and a stop 9 located on the side from inside the tank 5.
Comme on le voit bien sur la figure 1 , la butée 8 s'étend radialement vers l'axe X-X' du réservoir plus loin que l'autre butée 9 qui est en quelque sorte radialement en retrait de la butée 8.As can be clearly seen in FIG. 1, the stop 8 extends radially towards the axis XX ′ of the reservoir further than the other stop 9 which is in a way radially set back from the stop 8.
Cette butée 8 est constituée par un anneau en matière dure solidaire de l'entrée ou ouverture 4 du récipientThis stop 8 is constituted by a ring of hard material secured to the inlet or opening 4 of the container
R. Cet anneau peut être monté à force dans l'ouvertureA. This ring can be forced into the opening
4 ou bien il peut être intégré à cette ouverture en venant de moulage avec le récipient R.4 or it can be integrated into this opening by coming from molding with the container R.
Comme il apparaît clairement sur la figure 1, l'anneau en matière dure comporte, du côté de la rondelle souple 6, une ouverture centrale 8a de forme sensiblement cylindrique et à laquelle fait suite une partie débouchante 8b sensiblement tronconique. On observera ici que la partie cylindrique ou faiblement tronconique 8a présente un diamètre correspondant sensiblement au plus grand diamètre de la brosse 1 pour éviter le raclage de cette brosse lors de sa ré-introduction dans le réservoir 5,. et donc le dépôt de salissures dans l'ouverture 4 dudit réservoir, tandis que la partie tronconique 8b facilitera le guidage de la brosse 1 à l'introduction dans le réservoir 5 du récicpient R. En outre on observera que les hauteurs respectives de l'ouverture 8a et de la partie 8b sont, l'une et l'autre, sensiblement égales ou supérieures à 0,7 fois le plus grand diamètre de la brosse 1. Ceci a pour but essentiel d'éviter les projections de produit à l'extraction de la brosse du réservoir.As it clearly appears in FIG. 1, the hard material ring comprises, on the side of the flexible washer 6, a central opening 8a of substantially cylindrical shape and to which follows a through portion 8b substantially frustoconical. It will be observed here that the cylindrical or slightly frustoconical part 8a has a diameter corresponding substantially to the larger diameter of the brush 1 to avoid scraping of this brush during its re-introduction into the reservoir 5 ,. and therefore the deposition of dirt in the opening 4 of said tank, while the frustoconical part 8b will facilitate the guiding of the brush 1 to the introduction into the tank 5 of the container R. Furthermore, it will be observed that the respective heights of the aperture 8a and of part 8b are both substantially equal to or greater than 0.7 times the largest diameter of the brush 1. This has the essential purpose of avoiding splashes of product at the extraction of the brush from the tank.
La butée 9 est constituée, suivant l'exemple de réalisation représenté, par un epaulement annulaire formé dans la paroi 10 du réservoir 5, étant bien entendu qu'on pourrait parfaitement sans sortir du cadre de l'invention prévoir pour la butée 9 une butée rapportée comme c'était le cas pour la butée 8.The stop 9 is constituted, according to the embodiment shown, by an annular shoulder formed in the wall 10 of the reservoir 5, it being understood that it could perfectly without departing from the scope of the invention provide for the stop 9 a stop reported as was the case for stop 8.
Le fonctionnement du dispositif qui vient d'être décrit se déduit de la description qui précède et sera expliqué dans ce qui suit.The operation of the device which has just been described is deduced from the above description and will be explained in the following.
Lorsque le récipient R est fermé par le bouchon 3, la brosse 1 plonge dans le produit ou mascara contenu dans le réservoir 5.When the container R is closed by the cap 3, the brush 1 plunges into the product or mascara contained in the reservoir 5.
L'utilisatrice désirant maquiller ses c'is, dévisse le bouchon 3 et extrait la brosse 1 qui passe au travers de l'orifice central 7 dans la rondelle souple 6. Il est important de remarquer ici que la rondelle offrira une résistance relativement importante au passage de la brosse 1 au travers du trou 3, grâce à la butée ou anneau 8 dont le bord 8c se trouve relativement près de l'orifice 7 et constitue un appui procurant une articulation relativement résistante pour la rondelle 6, de sorte qu'un essorage efficace de la brosse (1) sera réalisé-.The user wishing to make up her c'is, unscrews the plug 3 and extracts the brush 1 which passes through the central orifice 7 in the flexible washer 6. It is important to note here that the washer will offer a relatively high resistance to passage of the brush 1 through the hole 3, thanks to the stop or ring 8 whose edge 8c is relatively close to the orifice 7 and constitutes a support providing a relatively resistant articulation for the washer 6, so that effective spinning of the brush (1) will be achieved.
Il faut encore observer que la tige 2 portant la brosse 5 sera également raclée par l'orifice 7.It should also be noted that the rod 2 carrying the brush 5 will also be scraped through the orifice 7.
Après maquillage, l'utilisatrice introduit la brosse 1 dans le récipient R, et cette introduction est facilitée par la partie tronconique 8b de l'anneau 8, 0 mais aussi par le fait que la rondelle souple 6 n'offrira pratiquement aucune résistance au passage de la brosse 1 au travers de l'orifice 7, étant donné que ladite rondelle s'articulera près de son bord externe autour du point 9a de l'epaulement 9 qui est nettementAfter makeup, the user introduces the brush 1 into the container R, and this introduction is facilitated by the frustoconical part 8b of the ring 8, 0 but also by the fact that the flexible washer 6 will offer practically no resistance to passage of the brush 1 through the orifice 7, since said washer will articulate near its outer edge around the point 9a of the shoulder 9 which is clearly
'- en retrait du point 8c de l'anneau 8. On comprend donc de ce qui précède que la flexibilité différentielle de la rondelle souple 6 à l'extraction et à l'introduction de la brosse 1 est particulièrement avantageuse pour respectivement essorer et introduire la brosse de - maquillage. La rondelle souple 6 peut revêtir différentes formes de réalisation que l'on décrira maintenant.'- set back from point 8c of the ring 8. It is therefore understood from the above that the differential flexibility of the flexible washer 6 when extracting and introducing the brush 1 is particularly advantageous for respectively wringing and introducing the makeup brush. The flexible washer 6 can take different embodiments which will now be described.
Suivant la réalisation visible sur la figure 2, elle 5 comporte des fentes radiales 11 s'étendant depuis l'orifice central 7 jusqu'au voisinage de sa périphérie.According to the embodiment visible in Figure 2, it 5 has radial slots 11 extending from the central orifice 7 to the vicinity of its periphery.
Comme on le voit sur la figure 9, ces fentes radiales 0 11 définissent entre elles des secteurs qui peuvent être munis chacun d'une ailette 12 en forme de poutre s'étendant radialement et disposée orthogonalement au plan du secteur qui porte ladite ailette. Ainsi, les ailettes 12 rigidifient le bord 7a de l'orifice 7, à 5 l'extraction de la brosse 1, ce qui est de nature à améliorer encore l'essorage de ladite brosse et à faciliter la chute du produit essoré par cette brosse dans le réservoir 5.As can be seen in FIG. 9, these radial slots 0 11 define between them sectors which may each be provided with a fin 12 in the form of a beam extending radially and arranged orthogonally to the plane of the sector which carries said fin. Thus, the fins 12 stiffen the edge 7a of the orifice 7, at the extraction of the brush 1, which is likely to further improve the wiping of said brush and to facilitate the fall of the product wrung by this brush in tank 5.
Suivant la réalisation visible sur la figure 3, la rondelle souple 6 comporte des parties radiales ou nervures 13 et une partie annulaire 14 qui sont plus minces que la partie restante de la rondelle, ce qui est de nature à améliorer le fonctionnement de cette rondelle à l'introduction et à l'extraction de la brosse 1. On précisera que la matière constituant les parties plus minces 13 et 14 sera quelque peu extensible pour un bon fonctionnement du système.According to the embodiment visible in FIG. 3, the flexible washer 6 has radial parts or ribs 13 and an annular part 14 which are thinner than the remaining part of the washer, which is likely to improve the operation of this washer. the introduction and the extraction of the brush 1. It will be specified that the material constituting the thinner parts 13 and 14 will be somewhat extensible for a good functioning of the system.
Suivant le mode de réalisation de la figure 4, la rondelle 6 est fendue suivant un diamètre, comme on le voit en 15 et des fentes arquées 16 rejoignant la fente diamétrale 15 s'étendant sur une partie du pourtour de la rondelle.According to the embodiment of Figure 4, the washer 6 is split along a diameter, as seen in 15 and arcuate slots 16 joining the diametrical slot 15 extending over part of the periphery of the washer.
Selon encore une autre variante, on peut réaliser la superposition de deux rondelles du type représenté sur la figure 4, et cela de telle sorte que, comme on le voit sur la figure 5, la fente 15 d'une rondelle soit orthogonale à la fente 15a de l'autre rondelle.According to yet another variant, it is possible to superimpose two washers of the type shown in FIG. 4, and this so that, as seen in FIG. 5, the slot 15 of a washer is orthogonal to the slot 15a on the other washer.
Suivant une autre variante visible sur les figures 6 à 8 et s'apparentant quelque peu à la réalisation de la figure 4, on prévoit de part et d'autre de la fente diamétrale 15 une partie 17 en matière plus dure ou plus épaisse que la partie restante 18.According to another variant visible in Figures 6 to 8 and somewhat similar to the embodiment of Figure 4, there is provided on either side of the diametrical slot 15 a portion 17 of harder or thicker material than the remaining part 18.
Ainsi, les parties 17 seront moins déformables, notamment à l'extraction de la brosse 1 du réservoir 5, que la partie restante de la rondelle, ce qui facilite l'opération d'essorage.Thus, the parts 17 will be less deformable, in particular when the brush 1 is extracted from the reservoir 5, than the remaining part of the washer, which facilitates the spinning operation.
L'invention n'est nullement limitée aux modes de réalisation de rondelles souples décrits et illustrés qui n'ont été donnés qu'à titre d'exemple.The invention is in no way limited to the embodiments of flexible washers described and illustrated which have only been given as an example.
Les butées, de part et d'autre de cette rondelle peuvent être réalisées par tout moyen approprié et autre que celui représenté sur la figure 1.The stops on either side of this washer can be produced by any suitable means other than that shown in FIG. 1.
L'invention comprend donc tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits ainsi que leurs combinaisons si celles-ci sont effectuées suivant son esprit. The invention therefore includes all the technical equivalents of the means described and their combinations if these are carried out according to the spirit.
