Definitions
- the invention relates to an applicator for a cosmetic product and an associated applicator assembly.
- Cosmetic product applicator assemblies are known, in particular for a cosmetic product intended to be applied to eyelashes such as mascara, comprising a container containing the cosmetic product and an applicator adapted to be removably attached to the container.
- the container generally comprises a body, the body comprising walls defining a reservoir in which the cosmetic product is contained, and a neck defining an opening through which the cosmetic product can be extracted.
- the applicator assembly generally includes a cap adapted to be attached to the neck, a stem extending from the plug and an applicator attached to a free end of the stem.
- the applicator comprises a core and a plurality of protuberances or bristles extending from the core.
- the rod and the applicator extend inside the tank.
- the applicator is immersed in the cosmetic product contained in the reservoir.
- the user detaches the neck cap and extracts the applicator from the container.
- the container generally comprises a wiper, fixed inside the neck.
- the applicator slides inside the wiper. The wiper scrapes the cosmetic product in excess on the stem and the applicator.
- the wiper thus makes it possible to regulate the quantity of product present on the applicator and avoids an excessive application of cosmetic product on the eyelashes.
- the wiper limits, in particular, the amount of product present on the protuberances.
- Two parameters interact for this purpose.
- the amount of desired product on the protuberances at the outlet of the wiper results from the compromise between the internal diameter of the wiper and the radial extension of the protuberances. Furthermore, it is known that the zones having protuberances of lower radial extension favor the loading of the applicator while the zones having protuberances of longer radial extension favor the combing of the eyelashes for a given wiper.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an applicator which allows a strong imbrication of the charging zones and combing zones.
- the invention relates to an applicator for a cosmetic product comprising a core having a first end, said proximal end, and a second free end, said distal end, and a plurality of protuberances projecting from the core.
- said protuberances are molded with the core and are arranged in a plurality of rows extending in the direction of extension of the core, the protuberances of at least one of said rows, called first row, decreasing progressively in length from said distal end to a central portion of the applicator and then gradually increasing in length from said central portion to said proximal end, while an opposite variation of the length of the protuberances occurs in each of the two rows, said second rows adjacent to said first row or rows.
- the proposed applicator has the advantage of having discretely distributed, staggered, zones of charges that alternate with combing zones, to simultaneously allow the loading of the eyelashes into a cosmetic product, and combing them.
- This applicator is all the more advantageous as it allows this simultaneity of functions all around, on the one hand, and over its entire length, on the other hand.
- said rows are parallel to an axis of the core, the first rows alternate with the second rows all around the core, which makes it possible to have a uniform application of the product all around the applicator, load zones distributed discretely, alternating staggered with combing zones, the protuberances of the first rows are offset axially with respect to the protuberances of the second rows,
- said rows are spaced radially around the periphery of the core at a constant angular distance
- said angular distance is 30 °
- the core is made of plastic material
- the protuberances are made of plastic material
- the core and the protuberances are molded in the same material
- each of the rows has a wave-shaped profile
- the protuberances have a semicircular section
- the protuberances each have a flat surface
- the protuberances are positioned so that plane surfaces of two adjacent protuberances are oriented in the same direction of rotation
- the protuberances each extend along a normal to the axis of the core
- the protuberances are rectilinear
- the core has a ribbed profile
- the soul comprises a heart and ribs extending longitudinally along the heart
- the core has four regularly spaced longitudinal ribs
- the applicator forms a brush.
- the invention also relates to an applicator assembly for a cosmetic product, comprising a container comprising a body forming a reservoir intended to contain the cosmetic product, and an applicator as previously described, adapted to be fixed on the container, so that the applicator is housed inside the tank.

- the invention relates to an applicator 10 for a cosmetic product
- a core 12 having a first end, said proximal end 13 adapted to be fixed to an applicator rod by a sleeve 14 extending said core 12, and a second free end, said distal end 16.
- Said sleeve 14 allows the attachment of the applicator 10.
- the applicator 10 further comprises a plurality of protuberances 30 which protrude from the core 12.
- the protuberances 30 are molded with the core 12.
- the protuberances 30 may be made from material with the core 12 or molded onto the core 12.
- the protuberances 30 are arranged in a plurality of rows R1-R12 extending in the extension direction of the core 12.
- the rows R1-R12 are all parallel to an axis of the core 12, in particular its axis. longitudinal extension referenced X in FIG.
- the protuberances 30 of at least one of said rows, called first row R1 progressively decrease in length from said distal end 16 to a central portion 15 of the applicator 12 and then gradually increase in length from said central portion 15 to said proximal end 13
- the length of the protuberances 30 may evolve linearly, or according to other variation profiles, from one protrusion 30 to the other, for example by successive stages of at least two protuberances 30 of the same length.
- FIG. 1 gives an overall view of the alternation between first rows R1, R3, R5, R7, R9, R1 1 and second rows R2, R4, R6, R8, R10, R12 all around the core 12.
- R1 -R12 rows are marked in Figure 4 which is, for recall, a top view of Figure 1.
- the applicator exclusively comprises rows of the first and second types alternating with each other.
- the rows R1 -R12 are spaced radially around the periphery of the core 12 at a constant angular distance. This angular distance can vary from one embodiment to another. In the embodiment illustrated here, the angular distance is 30 °. In other words, the rows R1-R12 are twelve in number.
- FIG. 3 shows one of the first rows R1.
- each of the first rows R1, R3, R5, R7, R9, R1 1 has protuberances, or teeth 31, whose length decreases progressively from the distal end 16 towards the central portion 15 of the applicator 12 and then progressively increases from the central portion 15 towards the proximal end 13.
- the free end of the teeth 31 defines a first envelope, or first wave V1, first convex in the vicinity of the distal end 16, then concave in the vicinity of the central portion 15 and again convex in the vicinity of the proximal end 13.
- the first wave V1 is substantially identical to all the first rows R1, R3, R5, R7, R9, R1 1.
- the maximum bulk D31 occupied by this first wave V1 is in the vicinity of the distal end 16 and in the vicinity of the proximal end 13.
- This first wave V1 occupies a minimum space d31 in the vicinity of the central portion 15 of the 12.
- the maximum dimensions D31 and minimum d31 shall comply with the following formula: 1 ⁇ - ⁇ 4.
- Maximum or minimum space requirement means the distance between the longitudinal extension axis of the core X and the free end of a protuberance, in other words, the radial extension of the protuberances.
- FIG. 5 shows one of the second rows R2.
- Each of the second rows R2, R4, R6, R8, R10, R12 has protuberances, or teeth 32, the length of which increases progressively from the distal end 16 towards the central part 15 of the applicator 12 and then gradually decreases from the part central 15 towards the proximal end 13.
- the free end of the teeth 32 defines a second envelope, or second wave V2, first concave in the vicinity of the distal end 16, then convex in the vicinity of the central portion 15 and again concave in the vicinity of the proximal end 13.
- the second wave V2 is substantially identical to all second rows R2, R4, R6, R8, R10, R12.
- the maximum bulk D32 occupied by this second wave V2 is located in the vicinity of the central portion 15 of the core 12 while the minimum space occupied by this second wave V32 V2 is in the vicinity of the distal end 16 and at the near the proximal end 13.
- each of said first and second rows is here of wavy or sinusoidal shape, in phase shift, advantageously in phase opposition.
- each of the rows R1 -R12 has a wave-shaped profile V1, V2 with the following particularity: the waves V1 formed by the first rows R1, R3, R5, R7, R9, R1 1 are in phase opposition to each other. relative to the wave V2 formed by the second rows R2, R4, R6, R8, R10, R12.
- the applicator 10 does not present here rows of teeth which define, by their free end, a different wave of the two waves V1, V2 which have just been described. It should be noted that there are, along the axis X, at least two planes orthogonal to said axis X, in which the protuberances 30 of the rows R1-R12 have substantially the same radial extension, said planes containing neither the proximal end 13 and the distal end 16.
- the protuberances 30 of two adjacent rows have different radial extensions.
- the container of the applicator assembly generally comprises a wiper fixed inside its neck to limit the amount of product on the protuberances 30, in particular on those of extensions longest radials. The latter are then used to comb the eyelashes, while the teeth of smaller radial extension, which will be only spun, are used to load the eyelashes product.
- the effect associated with the alternation of two types of waves V1, V2 around a core 12 of the type of the invention is particularly advantageous. It allows the user to benefit, in a simple gesture of rotation of the applicator around its longitudinal axis, areas of loads, namely areas of congestion minimum d31, d32, and eyelash combing areas, namely areas of maximum congestion D31, D32.
- the charging and combing areas follow one another around the core 12 of the applicator 10 in the form of waves V1, V2 in phase opposition, and this over its entire length.
- the charging and combing zones succeed each other, in staggered rows, axially and angularly, along and around the axis X of the applicator 10.
- the applicator 10 thus comprises rows R1-R12 of protuberances 30 whose size D31, D32 can be important.
- the core 12 should have a relatively small diameter d12 (see Figure 2).
- the core 12 may have a ribbed profile here in the form of longitudinal ribs 17 regularly spaced around a core of the core as shown in Figure 2.
- the Core 12 will further have a constant section along its longitudinal extension axis.
- the example illustrated in Figure 2 has four longitudinal ribs 17 but this number may vary.
- the core 12 will have at least one longitudinal rib 17.
- the cross section of the rib or ribs is substantially shaped omega ( ⁇ ). Said cross section is made in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis X of the core 12.
- the applicator of the invention still has an advantage. It allows a remarkable separation of the eyelashes of the user which can be reinforced by the following characteristic: the teeth 31 of the first rows R1, R3, R5, R7, R9, R1 1 are axially offset with respect to the teeth 32 of the second rows R2 , R4, R6, R8, R10, R12.
- the protuberances 30 may have a semicircular section. In this way, they preferably each have a flat surface (see FIG. 4). Said protuberances 30 are here positioned so that the flat surfaces of two adjacent protuberances are oriented in the same direction of rotation around the core 12. In addition, always to facilitate the manufacturing operations, the protuberances 30 will preferably rectilinear and will extend, each, along a normal to the axis of the soul 12.
- the protuberances 30 will preferably come from material of the core 12.
- the core 12 and the protuberances 30 may be molded from a material based on LDPE (low density polyethylene).
- LDPE low density polyethylene
- Other materials may still be used, namely the "EXACT” material of ExxonMobil or the “HYTREL” material of Dupont, or a mixture of these materials.
- the applicator 10 forms, advantageously, a brush.
- the invention also relates to an applicator assembly for a cosmetic product, comprising a container comprising a body forming a reservoir containing the cosmetic product, and an applicator as previously described, adapted to be fixed on the container, so that the applicator is housed inside the tank.
- Said applicator 10 is fixed, for example, to the end of a rod, itself attached to a cap advantageously screwed to the container.
- the sleeve 14 is located in the rod and the proximal end 13 of the core forms the visible proximal end of the applicator.
- the applicator of the invention has a different number of rows, ie lower - for example 8 rows, or higher - for example 16 rows.
