Definitions
- the invention is in the field of caps for protecting the tip of a brush or the like. It relates to such an easily removable cap, nevertheless offering effective and lasting protection of the tip of the brush, for its transport in particular.
- a brush mainly consists of a handle carrying at its distal end bristles which are held on the handle by means of a ferrule.
- the term “bristles” must be understood in the generic sense and qualifies all types of fibers used to make the tip (also called tuft) of the brush, these fibers being natural and / or synthetic.
- a general problem posed lies in the brittleness and flexibility of the bristles, which make it useful to protect them when the brush is not used, in particular during its transport. To this end, it has been proposed by the prior art caps for the protection of the bristles, reversible to be attached to the handle of the brush.
- such a cap must satisfy a compromise between different qualities offered by its structure. These qualities reside in particular in effective protection of the bristles, in the durability of the cap despite its frequent and regular handling, in its firm fixing on the handle of the brush which must nevertheless not prevent its easy removal, in its comfortable maneuverability necessary for not to make its use prohibitive, and in its conformation and its pleasant external appearance likely to seduce a user known to be sensitive to aesthetics due to the field of application of the brush to art paint, or even make-up or the like.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a protective cap for a brush which meets the needs in the field, from a structure of the cap which best meets the requirements of the abovementioned compromise, in order to encourage its use in satisfactory conditions for users.
- a protective cap for the bristles of a brush tip has the following characteristics, taken alone or in combination:
- the cap comprises a housing associating on the one hand means for its easily reversible fixing on a ferrule formed at the distal end of the handle of the brush, and on the other hand two shells articulated to each other at the 'one of their ends and foldable towards each other to close the housing.
- One of the hulls, fixed, is extended by a rigid cradle for receiving the ferrule, this cradle in particular forming a sole for receiving the other hull, mobile, and being fitted at least in the vicinity of its respective ends d 'distant respective gripping bodies of the shell by elastic deformation of the latter.
- the housing being equipped with means for locking its closure by interlocking the shells with one another
- the movable shell is equipped at its distal end with a locking member in the closed position of the housing which cooperates by interlocking with a locking member complementary that has the fixed shell, so that in the closed position of the housing, the shells are held in superposition juxtaposed one against the other at the periphery of their outlet.
- cap of the invention has the following secondary provisions:
- the gripping members are preferably composed of a proximal gripping member at least with an axial stop cooperating with a complementary relief of the ferrule, and of a distal grip member at least with radial retention by localized peripheral grip of the ferrule.
- the gripping members of the cradle are advantageously organized into jaws, the jaws of which are arranged in at least one radial lip, the profile of which is preferably faceted for gripping the shell by distant points.
- the cradle preferably comprises on its outer face a dorsal stiffening rib to reinforce its robustness.
- This dorsal rib extends in particular from the proximal end of the cradle towards the junction zone of the latter with the fixed shell.
- the outer face of the fixed shell and the dorsal rib are substantially flush.
- the locking members of the shells more precisely each consist of a set of opposing lateral reliefs with radial projections, which are respectively provided at the corresponding ends of the shells in a substantially radially median zone of the housing.
- the housing is equipped with means for guiding the movable shell between the opening and closing positions of the housing, which are made up of cooperating guiding members that the shells respectively comprise at the periphery of their outlet.
- These members are advantageously formed by a positioning rabbet in superposition of the shells therebetween, formed along the periphery of the outlet of any one of the shells for receiving the edge of the other shell.
- this rebate at least is preferably continuous for regular and uninterrupted guidance of the movable shell, otherwise is discontinuous by being composed of successive distant elements.
- the movable shell advantageously comprises lateral gripping wings for gripping and maneuvering it at least when the user opens, if not also when closing, the housing.
- the lateral gripping wings are formed as an extension of the lateral reliefs of the movable shell.
- At least any one of the hulls advantageously comprises ventilation openings, in particular shaped in axial slots, so that said openings allow a consequent circulation of air without significantly affecting the rigidity of the hull, through the wall of which hull the ventilation openings are provided.
- the cap has an air passage to allow, in the closed position, air circulation, in particular through its distal end, this passage preventing the risks of suffocation in the event of accidental ingestion of the cap.
- said air passage is formed by openings arranged opposite one another respectively through the fixed shell 7 and the movable shell 8.
- said protective cap is made of an elastically deformable plastic material.
- said plastic material is transparent. Mention may be made, as transparent plastic materials, of, for example, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polystyrene, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) polymer and polyamide.
- said protective cap is made of polyamide.
- the latter transparent and elastically deformable plastic material has the advantage of retaining its mechanical elasticity characteristics and therefore allows the cap. according to the invention to be able to easily adapt to different diameters of brushes.
- polyamide is a material which has the particularity of resisting solvents and thus proves to be a particularly suitable material for the invention.
- the protective cap made of transparent plastic material is produced by molding.
- Fig.1 and Fig.2 are perspective illustrations of a brush equipped with a cap according to the present invention, respectively in the open position and in the closed position of the latter.
- Fig.3 and Fig.4 are perspective illustrations of the cap shown in the preceding figures, respectively in the open position and in the closed position of the latter.
- Fig.5 and Fig.6 are perspective illustrations of a participating movable shell of the cap illustrated in the previous figures, respectively in top view and bottom view.
- Fig.7 is a perspective view from above of an extended cradle of a fixed shell to form a one-piece element participating in a cap illustrated in fig.1 to fig.4.
- Fig.8 is a perspective illustration, viewed from the proximal end, of a cap according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- Fig.9 is a perspective illustration of a movable shell of the cap shown in Fig.8.
- Fig.10 is a perspective illustration of a fixed shell of the cap shown in Fig.8.
- a brush 1, 2,3 is fitted with a cap to protect the bristles 1 which it wears at the distal end of its handle 2, to which the bristles are fixed by means of a ferrule 3 set on the handle 2 in the usual manner in the field.
- the cap is made up of two separate monobloc elements 6,7 and 8 hinged to each other.
- a first element 6,7 is fixed on the ferrule 3 of the brush while the proximal end of a second element 8 is movably mounted on the distal end of the first element 6,7.
- the two elements 6, 7 and 8 are advantageously produced by molding and assembled in articulation to one another by interlocking.
- the first element 6,7 is composed of a elongated cradle 6 integral with a potbellied fixed shell 7, on the distal end of which fixed shell 7 is articulated the second element 8, itself arranged in a potbellied shell 8 rendered mobile on the fixed shell 7.
- the fixed 7 and mobile 8 shells jointly form a housing 7,8 for protecting the bristles 1 of the brush 1, 2,3.
- the movable shell 8 comprises at least partially a wall 21 made of a transparent material, to allow visual access to the bristles 1 of the brush by the user through the movable shell 8 notwithstanding the closure of the housing 7.8.
- the cradle 6 is equipped with two gripping members 4.5 on the ferrule 3, which are arranged in an open collar giving them an elastically deformable character.
- a first proximal gripping member 4 cooperates by interlocking with a complementary relief 9 of crimping that comprises the ferrule 3 for its gripping with engagement at least axial if not also radial.
- a second distal engagement member 5 provides a radial engagement of the ferrule 3 by the cradle in a distal zone of the latter 3, or even an axial engagement in the case where the ferrule is provided with a second crimping relief in this zone.
- the gripping members 4,5 are organized into jaws for a firm grip of the ferrule 3.
- the jaws of the jaws consist of a pair of radial lips 12, which are shaped into facets to each provide a middle finger 10 and two stops support devices 11, to optimize the use of the grip forces generated by the elastic deformation of the gripping members 4,5.
- the latter 4.5 come from the cradle 6 from which they are jointly formed by molding, while being separated from the latter 6 by grooves 13 promoting their deformation without however altering the overall rigidity of the cradle 6.
- the manipulation of the cap is capable of being carried out by the user without risk of alteration of the bristles 1 protected by the housing 7,8.
- the proximal grip member 4 advantageously constitutes an axial abutment member and for hooking the cap on the brush, around which proximal member 4 pivots the cap up to the distal zone of the ferrule 3 is gripped by the distal grip member 5.
- the cradle 6 has on its outer face a dorsal rib of rigid if ication
- the shells 7, 8 have antagonistic longitudinal reliefs 16, 17 with a radial projection, associating claws 16 formed on the movable shell 8 and recesses 17 for receiving these claws 16 formed in the fixed shell. 7.
- These reliefs 16,17 constitute means for locking the closure of the housing 7,8 by flap of the movable shell towards the fixed shell until they are placed in juxtaposed superposition.
- These opposing reliefs 16, 17 are preferably arranged in the vicinity of the opening of the shells 7.8 through which the handle 2 of the brush extends.
- a rabbet 19 is formed on the edge of the periphery of the outlet of the fixed shell 7 to guide the movable shell 8 during its maneuver and to avoid being lopsided likely to alter its articulated connection with the fixed shell 7.
- the movable shell 8 also comprises lateral gripping wings 20 for maneuvering the opening and closing of the housing 7,8 by the user. These wings 20 are formed in lateral extension of the claws 16 of the movable shell 8, with which they cooperate to constitute a member for reinforcing the outlet of the latter.
- the fixed shell 7 has ventilation slots 15 to allow a significant air circulation between the interior volume of the housing 7,8 and its external environment.
- the axial extension of these narrow slots allows such air circulation without significantly affecting the rigidity of the fixed shell 7.
- the cap further comprises an air passage to allow, in the closed position, air circulation through its distal end.
- These provisions aim to secure the use of the cap, in particular with regard to its unexpected ingestion by a child, the circulation of air through the distal end of the cap allowing the case causing the child to breathe.
- This air passage is formed by openings made opposite facing respectively through the fixed shell 7 and the movable shell 8. More specifically, the fixed shell 7 has at its distal end a yoke 22 for the articulated reception of a ring 23 that comprises the movable shell 8.
- the articulated connection between the ring 23 and the yoke 22 is produced by means of lateral lugs 24 that the yoke 22 of the fixed shell 7 includes, for the reception by engagement of the ring 23. It will be noted that these articulated connection arrangements of the movable shell 8 on the fixed shell 7 are similar to those corresponding to the embodiments illustrated in fig.1 to fig.7.
