Description

"Peigne applicateur d'un produit cosmétique" ."Applicator comb of a cosmetic product".
La présente invention a essentiellement pour objet un peigne applicateur de produit plus ou moins visqueux tel que par exemple un produit cosmétique.The present invention essentially relates to an applicator comb of a more or less viscous product such as for example a cosmetic product.
Il a déjà été proposé des peignes pour appliquer un produit cosmétique et comprenant, d'une manière générale, un corps creux formant en quelque sorte un réservoir pour le produit à appliquer et comportant des dents assurant la répartition du produit lors de l'application.Combs have already been proposed for applying a cosmetic product and generally comprising a hollow body forming a sort of reservoir for the product to be applied and comprising teeth ensuring the distribution of the product during application.
Toutefois, de tels peignes, lorsqu'ils étaient réalisés en matière plastique par exemple, étaient obtenus par moulage en une seule pièce, c'est-à-dire constituaient une pièce monobloc, et il y avait des difficultés de fabrication. C'est ainsi qu'en procédant de cette façon, il n'était pas possible de maîtriser parfaitement la forme et l'agencement des dents que l'on souhaite pour le peigne.However, such combs, when they were made of plastic, for example, were obtained by molding in one piece, that is to say constituted a single piece, and there were manufacturing difficulties. Thus, by proceeding in this way, it was not possible to perfectly master the shape and arrangement of the teeth that one wishes for the comb.
Aussi, la présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un peigne applicateur avec notamment toute la précision voulue de forme et d'agencement pour toutes les dents que doit comporter ce peigne.Also, the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by proposing an applicator comb with in particular all the desired precision of shape and arrangement for all the teeth that this comb must include.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un peigne applicateur d'un produit cosmétique par exemple et du type comprenant un corps creux allongé qui est fermé à ses extrémités et débouche latéralement par une fente s 'étendant suivant une génératrice du corps creux pour définir des bords libres munis chacun de dents, caractérisé en ce que le corps creux est formé de deux demi-coquilles moulées et assemblées comportant chacune au moins une rangée de dents. Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les deux rangées de dents sont longitudinalement décalées pour que les dents d'une rangée alternent avec les dents de l'autre rangée.To this end, the subject of the invention is a comb for applying a cosmetic product for example and of the type comprising an elongated hollow body which is closed at its ends and opens out laterally by a slot extending along a generatrix of the hollow body for define free edges each provided with teeth, characterized in that the hollow body is formed of two molded and assembled half-shells each comprising at least one row of teeth. According to another characteristic of the invention, the two rows of teeth are longitudinally offset so that the teeth of one row alternate with the teeth of the other row.
Le peigne selon cette invention est encore caractérisé en ce que l'une des demi-coquilles au moins comporte à une extrémité une tige creuse formant manche.The comb according to this invention is further characterized in that at least one of the half-shells has at one end a hollow rod forming a handle.
Les demi-coquilles sont assemblées par clippage d'une nervure appartenant à une demi-coquille, dans une rainure ménagée dans l'autre demi-coquille.The half-shells are assembled by clipping a rib belonging to a half-shell, in a groove made in the other half-shell.
Suivant encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les demi-coquilles sont centrées à l'assemblage par des plots venant de moulage avec une demi-coquille et pénétrant dans des logements correspondants ménagés dans l'autre demi- coquille.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, the half-shells are centered at the assembly by studs coming from molding with a half-shell and penetrating into corresponding housings formed in the other half-shell.
Suivant un exemple de réalisation, le pas des dents sur chaque demi-coquille est d'environ 1,5 mm, et le pas des dents après assemblage des deux demi-coquilles est d'environ 0,75 mm.According to an exemplary embodiment, the pitch of the teeth on each half-shell is approximately 1.5 mm, and the pitch of the teeth after assembly of the two half-shells is approximately 0.75 mm.
Ainsi, comme on le comprend, ceci correspond à une position alternée des dents des deux rangées de dents du peigne à l'état assemblé.Thus, as can be understood, this corresponds to an alternating position of the teeth of the two rows of teeth of the comb in the assembled state.
Suivant encore une autre caractéristique, la fente précitée va en s 'élargissant depuis son extrémité proche de la tige creuse jusqu'à son extrémité opposée.According to yet another characteristic, the above-mentioned slot widens from its end close to the hollow rod to its opposite end.
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 accompanying drawings, given solely by way of example, and in which:
La figure 1 est une vue en élévation des deux demi-coquilles du peigne avant assemblage.Figure 1 is an elevational view of the two half-shells of the comb before assembly.
La figure 2 est une vue en élévation du peigne après assemblage des deux demi-coquilles.Figure 2 is an elevational view of the comb after assembly of the two half-shells.
La figure 3 est une vue en coupe suivant la ligne III-III de la figure 2, mais montrant les demi-coquilles avant assemblage.Figure 3 is a sectional view along line III-III of Figure 2, but showing the half-shells before assembly.
La figure 4 est une vue similaire à la figure 3 mais montre les demi-coquilles assemblées.Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3 but shows the assembled half-shells.
La figure 5 est une vue similaire à la figure 3 mais montrant des dents de formes différentes de celles visibles sur la figure 3.FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 3 but showing teeth of shapes different from those visible in FIG. 3.
La figure 6 est une vue similaire à la figure 5 mais montrant les demi-coquilles en position assemblée.Figure 6 is a view similar to Figure 5 but showing the half-shells in the assembled position.
Comme on le voit notamment sur la figure 1, un peigne applicateur de produit cosmétique selon cette invention comprend essentiellement deux demi-coquilles 1, 2 obtenues respectivement par moulage et comportant chacune une pluralité de dents sensiblement parallèles repérées en 3 pour la demi-coquille 1 et en 4 pour la demi-coquille 2.As can be seen in particular in FIG. 1, a cosmetic product applicator comb according to this invention essentially comprises two half-shells 1, 2 obtained respectively by molding and each comprising a plurality of substantially parallel teeth marked in 3 for the half-shell 1 and in 4 for the half-shell 2.
La demi-coquille 1 est formée, suivant l'exemple représenté, d'une partie 5 présentant sensiblement la forme d'un quadrilatère dont l'un 6 des quatre côtés porte les dents 3 qui font saillie dudit côté. Une tige creuse 7 formant manche et destinée par exemple à constituer un conduit ou réservoir de produit à appliquer, vient de moulage avec la partie 5, et cela en s ' étendant suivant une direction sensiblement parallèle au côté 6 de la partie 5, ou encore au côté 8 de cette partie qui est parallèle au côté 6.The half-shell 1 is formed, according to the example shown, of a part 5 having substantially the shape of a quadrilateral of which one 6 of the four sides carries the teeth 3 which project from said side. A hollow rod 7 forming a handle and intended for example to constitute a conduit or reservoir of product to be applied, has just been molded with part 5, and this extending in a direction substantially parallel to side 6 of part 5, or even to side 8 of this part which is parallel to side 6.
La demi-coquille 2 comporte une partie moulée 9 présentant elle aussi sensiblement la forme d'un quadrilatère dont un côté 10 porte les dents 4 faisant saillie dudit côté. On a repéré en 11 le côté de la partie 9 qui est sensiblement parallèle au côté 10.The half-shell 2 comprises a molded part 9 also having substantially the shape of a quadrilateral, one side 10 of which carries the teeth 4 projecting from said side. The side of part 9 which is substantially parallel to side 10 has been identified at 11.
Comme on le comprend, la partie 9 du peigne est complémentaire de la partie 5, et seule la partie 5 comporte un manche intégral tel que 7. Cela dit, on pourrait parfaitement, sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention, obtenir par moulage un peigne dont chaque partie 5, 9 comporterait une demi-tige creuse de façon à obtenir à l'assemblage la tige 7 formant manche.As can be understood, part 9 of the comb is complementary to part 5, and only part 5 has an integral handle such as 7. That said, it would be perfectly possible, without departing from the scope of the present invention, to obtain by molding a comb, each part 5, 9 of which comprises a hollow half-rod so as to obtain the assembly with rod 7 forming a handle.
On a montré en 7a sur la figure 1 une partie formant raccord du manche 7 aux deux parties 5 et 9 lorsqu'elles sont assemblées .There is shown in 7a in FIG. 1 a part forming a connection of the handle 7 to the two parts 5 and 9 when they are assembled.
Comme on le voit clairement sur la figure 1 et les figures 3 à 6, le côté 8 de la partie 5 appartenant à la demi-coquille 1 comporte une rainure 12, tandis que le côté 11 de la partie 9 constituant la demi-coquille 2 comporte une nervure 13 de forme correspondant à la rainure 12 pour permettre l'assemblage par clippage des deux demi-coquilles 1 et 2, visible sur la figure 4. Par ailleurs, la partie 5 de la demi-coquille 1 comprend un plot 14 et un logement 15, de même que la partie 9 de la demi-coquille 2 comprend un plot 16 et un logement 17.As can be clearly seen in FIG. 1 and FIGS. 3 to 6, the side 8 of the part 5 belonging to the half-shell 1 has a groove 12, while the side 11 of the part 9 constituting the half-shell 2 comprises a rib 13 of shape corresponding to the groove 12 to allow the assembly by clipping of the two half-shells 1 and 2, visible in FIG. 4. Furthermore, the part 5 of the half-shell 1 comprises a stud 14 and a housing 15, just as the part 9 of the half-shell 2 comprises a stud 16 and a housing 17.
Ainsi, les demi-coquilles 1 et 2 sont centrées à l'assemblage par le fait que le plot 14 de la partie 5 pénétrera élastiquement dans le logement 17 de la partie 9, et le plot 16 de la- partie 9 pénétrera élastiquement dans le logement 15 de la partie 5, de sorte qu'au total la coopération de la nervure 13 avec la rainure 8 ainsi que des plots 14, 16 avec respectivement les logements 17, 15 assurera un bon assemblage avec centrage de la demi-coquille 1 sur la demi- coquille 2.Thus, the half-shells 1 and 2 are centered during assembly by the fact that the stud 14 of the part 5 will elastically penetrate into the housing 17 of the part 9, and the stud 16 of the part 9 will elastically penetrate into the housing 15 of part 5, so that in total the cooperation of the rib 13 with the groove 8 as well as studs 14, 16 with the housings 17, 15 respectively will ensure good assembly with centering of the half-shell 1 on the half shell 2.
Suivant un mode de réalisation, non représenté, les dents 3 et 4 sont en quelque sorte des demi-dents qui se complètent pour ne former qu'une seule dent lorsque les demi-coquilles 1 et 2 sont assemblées.According to one embodiment, not shown, the teeth 3 and 4 are somehow half-teeth which complement each other to form only one tooth when the half-shells 1 and 2 are assembled.
Suivant l'exemple de réalisation qui est représenté, les deux rangées de dents 3 et 4 sont longitudinalement décalées pour que les dents 3 d'une rangée alternent avec les dents 4 de l'autre rangée lorsque les deux demi-coquilles sont assemblées, comme on le voit bien sur la figure 2.According to the embodiment which is shown, the two rows of teeth 3 and 4 are longitudinally offset so that the teeth 3 of a row alternate with the teeth 4 of the other row when the two half-shells are assembled, as you can see it in Figure 2.
A cet égard, on observera que le moule de chaque demi- coquille 1,2 sera avantageusement moins fragile par le fait que l'espacement entre deux dents adjacentes sera beaucoup plus important que celui d'un moule pour un peigne à dents non alternées et devant être très proches l'une de l'autre, comme cela doit être le cas pour un peigne applicateur de mascara. L'intervalle entre les dents 3, 4 sur chaque demi-coquilleIn this regard, it will be observed that the mold of each half-shell 1, 2 will advantageously be less fragile by the fact that the spacing between two adjacent teeth will be much greater than that of a mold for a comb with non-alternating teeth and must be very close to each other, as should be the case for a mascara applicator comb. The interval between teeth 3, 4 on each half-shell
(voir figure 1) peut être d'environ 1,5 mm, alors que le pas des dents après assemblage des deux demi-coquilles (voir figure 2) peut être alors d'environ 0,75 mm. On voit bien sur la figure 2 l'alternance des dents 3 et 4.(see Figure 1) can be about 1.5 mm, while the pitch of the teeth after assembly of the two half-shells (see Figure 2) can then be about 0.75 mm. We can clearly see in Figure 2 the alternation of teeth 3 and 4.
L'extrémité des dents 3 et 4 peut présenter une forme quelconque et appropriée pour assurer une répartition et une application idéales du produit à appliquer, en fonction de la nature et de la viscosité de ce produit.The end of teeth 3 and 4 may have any suitable shape to ensure ideal distribution and application of the product to be applied, depending on the nature and the viscosity of this product.
Ainsi, comme on le voit sur les figures 3 et 4, les dents 3 et 4 peuvent se terminer par une extrémité sensiblement circulaire 3a, 4a, tandis que les dents 3 et 4 visibles sur les figures 5 et 6 présentent une forme générale quelque peu ovale.Thus, as seen in FIGS. 3 and 4, the teeth 3 and 4 can end in a substantially circular end 3a, 4a, while the teeth 3 and 4 visible in FIGS. 5 and 6 have a general shape somewhat oval.
Mais d'autres formes de dents peuvent parfaitement être envisagées sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.However, other forms of teeth can perfectly be envisaged without departing from the scope of the invention.
On a donc réalisé suivant l'invention un peigne applicateur se composant de deux demi-coquilles moulées et assemblées permettant d'adopter la forme de dents la plus souhaitable pour l'application envisagée et compte tenu de la nature du produit à appliquer.There was therefore produced according to the invention an applicator comb consisting of two molded and assembled half-shells making it possible to adopt the most desirable shape of teeth for the intended application and taking into account the nature of the product to be applied.
On observera que le produit à appliquer tel que par exemple du mascara, pourra être contenu dans le manche formant conduit et propulsé d'une manière quelconque entre les demi- coquilles 1, 2 qui forment un corps creux, pour sortir entre les dents 3, 4 via une fente visible en 20 sur la figure 4 et qui est délimitée par les bords ou côtés 6 et 10 de la partie 5 et de la partie 9 des deux demi-coquilles 1 et 2 lorsqu'elles sont à l'état assemblé. On observera ici que, suivant une réalisation préférée, la fente 20 va en s ' élargissant depuis sa partie proche du raccord 7a au manchon 7 jusqu'à sa partie opposée, de façon à compenser la perte de charge du produit s 'écoulant entre les demi-coquilles 1,2 pour réaliser ainsi une délivrance régulière dudit produit au travers et sur toute la longueur de la fente 20.It will be observed that the product to be applied, such as for example mascara, may be contained in the handle forming a conduit and propelled in any manner between the half-shells 1, 2 which form a hollow body, to exit between the teeth 3, 4 via a slot visible at 20 in FIG. 4 and which is delimited by the edges or sides 6 and 10 of part 5 and part 9 of the two half-shells 1 and 2 when they are in the assembled state. It will be observed here that, according to a preferred embodiment, the slot 20 widens from its part close to the connector 7a to the sleeve 7 to its opposite part, so as to compensate for the pressure drop of the product flowing between the 1,2 half-shells to thereby achieve regular delivery of said product through and over the entire length of slot 20.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est nullement limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et illustrés qui n'ont été donnés qu'à titre d'exemple.Of course, the invention is in no way limited to the embodiments described and illustrated which have been given only by way of example.
C'est ainsi que la matière plastique pour le moulage des demi-coquilles peut être une matière appropriée quelconque, de même que le nombre, l'agencement et la forme des dents de chaque demi-coquille peuvent aussi être quelconques, étant entendu que le peigne de cette invention permet l'application d'un produit cosmétique quelconque tel que du mascara.Thus the plastic material for molding the half-shells can be any suitable material, just as the number, the arrangement and the shape of the teeth of each half-shell can also be any, it being understood that the comb of this invention allows the application of any cosmetic product such as mascara.
C'est dire que l'invention comprend tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits ainsi que leurs combinaisons si celles-ci sont effectuées suivant son esprit. This means that the invention includes all the technical equivalents of the means described and their combinations if these are carried out according to the spirit.
