Definitions

• the present invention relates to applicator devices for cosmetic products.
• the invention relates to a cosmetic product applicator device, comprising a support adapted to be held in the hand by a user and an applicator head carried by the support, the applicator head being flexible and adapted to apply the cosmetic product to a part of a user's body, said applicator head comprising a converging body and an applicator body, the converging body extending over a first length converging from a first end attached to the support to a second end, and the applicator body extending the second end of the body converging on a second length from the second end of the body converges to a distal end, the applicator body having a constant section from the second end of the converging body to the distal end of said applicator body, and in that the second length (L2) is superior ure to the first length.
• US6033143 discloses an example of such an applicator device.
• the present invention is intended in particular to improve the comfort, accuracy of application and ease of application of the applicator devices of the aforementioned type.
• an applicator device of the kind in question is characterized in that the applicator body (11) has a width (D2) of between 0.5 mm and 5 mm, advantageously between 0.5 mm and 1 mm.
• the product application is particularly precise. Indeed, the small width of the applicator body makes it particularly flexible, this which makes the application very easy on the eyelid.
• the application is essentially by the applicator body, without the user having to accurately measure the application force that he exercises on the support.
• this applicator body is of constant section, the application is made according to a line of constant and precise width.
• the cosmetic product is an eyeliner, the applicator body forms a flagellum which, during application, can be guided by the eyelash fringe of the user to facilitate application.
• the second length is greater than 1.2 times the first length
• the second length is less than 2.4 times the first length
• the first length is between 2 and 8 mm, in particular of the order of 5 mm;
• the applicator body has a section having a circumscribed diameter of between 0.5 mm and 5 mm, advantageously between 0.5 mm and 1 mm;
• the applicator head is made of a thermoplastic elastomer material
• the applicator device further comprises a reservoir adapted to contain liquid cosmetic product (more or less viscous liquid formula itself, viscous, creamy to pasty, for example viscosity similar to a mascara or eyeliner formula), the support comprising a rod adapted to penetrate into said reservoir for dipping said applicator head in the cosmetic product;
• liquid cosmetic product more or less viscous liquid formula itself, viscous, creamy to pasty, for example viscosity similar to a mascara or eyeliner formula
• the reservoir contains an eyeliner constituting said liquid cosmetic product.
• the invention also relates to a use of an applicator device as defined above, for applying a cosmetic product, in particular an eyeliner.
• FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a cosmetic product applicator device according to a first embodiment of the invention, in a storage position,
• FIG. 2 is a detailed view of the applicator head of the applicator device of FIG.
• Figure 1 shows an applicator device 1 of liquid cosmetic product, more or less viscous, including an eyeliner.
• This applicator device 1 comprises a reservoir 3 made of plastic or other material, which contains the cosmetic product 3.
• the liquid cosmetic product may be more or less viscous, of liquid formula itself, viscous, creamy to pasty, for example of similar viscosity to a mascara or eyeliner formula.
• the reservoir may comprise for example a neck 4 optionally provided with an inner wiper 5, known per se.
• the applicator device 1 may further comprise an applicator 6, comprising a support 7, 8 of plastic or other, carrying a flexible applicator head 9 (more flexible than the support 7, 8).
• the support 7, 8 may comprise a gripping member 7 adapted to be held by a user, and a rod 8 rectilinear or not, which passes through the neck 4 and the wiper 5.
• the gripping member 7 may optionally be a plug adapted to close the neck 4, for example by screwing or otherwise.
• the rod 8 may have a width of between 3 and 8 mm; for example, the rod 8 to be cylindrical with a circular cross-section, of diameter included in particular between 3 and 8 mm.
• the applicator head 9 can extend longitudinally along the axis of the rod 8, from the free end of the rod 8.
• the applicator head 9 could also form an angle different from 180 degrees with the rod 8.
• the applicator head 9 comprises a convergent body 10 and an applicator body 11.
• the convergent body 10 extends (along the longitudinal axis of the rod 8 in the example shown) on a first length L1 converging from a first end fixed to the support 7, 8 (for example at the free end of the rod 8) to a second end.
• the convergent body 10 may have any desired section, converging from a width D1 at the free end of the rod 8 to a width D2 at the free end of the convergent body 10. When it has a circular section, the convergent body 10 can converge from a diameter D1 at the free end of the rod 8 to a diameter D2 at the free end of the convergent body 10.
• the ratio D1 / D2 can be by example between 3 and 4.
• the applicator body 11 extends the second end of the convergent body 10 (along the longitudinal axis of the rod 8, in the example shown), on a second length L2 from the second end of the convergent body 10 to a distal end.
• the applicator body 11 has advantageously a constant section from the second end of the converging body 10 to the distal end of said applicator body.
• the applicator head could optionally further include a terminal flagellum (not shown) extending the applicator body 11, with a possibly non-constant section (for example convergent from the distal end of the applicator body 11 to the free end of the applicator body 11). terminal flagella.
• the second length L2 is greater than the first length L1.
• the second length L2 may be greater than 1.2 times the first length L1.
• the second length L2 may be less than 2.4 times the first length L1.
• the first length L1 may be for example between 2 and 8 mm, in particular of the order of 5 mm.
• the applicator body 11 may have a width D2 of between 0.5 mm and 5 mm, advantageously between 0.5 mm and 1 mm.
• Said applicator body 11 may have any desired section.
• the applicator body 11 may have a substantially circular section having a diameter D2 of between 0.5 mm and 5 mm, advantageously between 0.5 mm and 1 mm.
• the section of the applicator body 11 could be other than circular, it could be for example square, rectangular, triangular, etc., and the applicator body 11 could possibly further include ribs.
• the section of the applicator body 11 may have a circumscribed diameter D2 (diameter of the smallest circle containing the section) of between 0.5 mm and 5 mm, advantageously between 0.5 mm and 1 mm.
• the applicator head 9 may be made of a flexible elastomeric thermoplastic material, flocked or not.
• the applicator head 9 may be made of a flexible thermoplastic material such as polyethylene, polypropylene, but polyamide, or in one Thermoplastic material of elastomer type such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), silicones, EPDM
• the applicator head 9 may optionally be covered with fibers (for example a flocking) and / or have a non-smooth surface (for example a granular surface or with streak-type patterns) to facilitate the flow of the cosmetic product through capillarity.
