Description
L'invention est relative à une brosse de maquillage, en particulier pour appliquer du mascara sur les cils, du genre de celles qui comportent une âme formée à partir d'un fil métallique recourbé en U et dont les branches sont torsadées pour emprisonner entre elles des poils radiaux, l'âme étant fixée au bout d'une tige.The invention relates to a make-up brush, in particular for applying mascara to the eyelashes, of the kind which have a core formed from a metal wire curved in a U shape and the branches of which are twisted to trap them. radial hairs, the core being fixed to the end of a rod.
Une brosse de ce type est montrée, par exemple, par FR-A-2 663 826.A brush of this type is shown, for example, by FR-A-2,663,826.
Lors d'un maquillage, l'utilisatrice maintient la tige de la brosse en formant un angle non nul par rapport à la ligne transversale moyenne des deux yeux. Il en résulte qu'avec les brosses classiques, connues à ce jour, il arrive fréquemment à l'utilisatrice de présenter des poils de la brosse dans l'alignement des cils et de déposer des paquets de mascara, sans séparer les cils. Le maquillage obtenu demande donc à être amélioré.During makeup, the user maintains the brush rod at a non-zero angle relative to the average transverse line of the two eyes. It follows that with conventional brushes, known to date, it frequently happens to the user to present bristles of the brush in alignment with the eyelashes and to deposit packs of mascara, without separating the eyelashes. The makeup obtained therefore needs to be improved.
En outre, la brosse est généralement placée dans un récipient contenant le mascara, ce récipient étant muni d'un goulot équipé d'un essoreur traversé par la brosse. Il est souhaitable que l'essorage puisse s'effectuer avec une résistance plus réduite, assurant un meilleur lissage du produit le long des poils.In addition, the brush is generally placed in a container containing the mascara, this container being provided with a neck equipped with a wringer crossed by the brush. It is desirable that the spin can be carried out with a lower resistance, ensuring better smoothing of the product along the bristles.
L'invention a pour but, surtout, de fournir une brosse de maquillage, en particulier pour appliquer du mascara sur les cils, qui ne présente plus, ou à un degré moindre, les inconvénients rappelés ci-dessus.The invention aims, above all, to provide a makeup brush, in particular for applying mascara to the eyelashes, which no longer has, or to a lesser degree, the drawbacks mentioned above.
Selon l'invention, une brosse de maquillage du genre défini précédemment, est caractérisée par le fait que les branches de l'âme sont torsadées en tournant à gauche pour former des spires qui, vues suivant l'axe de l'âme depuis l'extrémité fixée dans la tige, tournent en sens d'horloge autour de l'axe de l'âme quand on progresse de la tige vers l'extrémité de la brosse, tandis que les poils de la brosse forment des nappes hélicoïdales montant de gauche à droite dans une zone située entre l'âme et un observateur qui tient devant lui la brosse sensiblement verticale avec sa pointe tournée vers le haut.According to the invention, a makeup brush of the kind defined above, is characterized in that the branches of the core are twisted by turning to the left to form turns which, seen along the axis of the core from the end fixed in the rod, rotate clockwise around the axis of the core when one advances from the rod towards the end of the brush, while the bristles of the brush form helical sheets rising from left to straight in an area between the core and an observer who holds in front of him the substantially vertical brush with its tip facing upwards.
De préférence, l'angle d'inclinaison des nappes de poils par rapport à l'axe est d'environ 35°.Preferably, the angle of inclination of the plies of bristles relative to the axis is approximately 35 °.
Généralement, la tige portant l'âme comporte, à son extrémité éloignée de l'âme, un bouchon muni d'un filetage pour vissage sur le goulot d'un récipient contenant le mascara, ce goulot étant équipé d'un essoreur traversé par la brosse lorsqu'elle est retirée du récipient ; selon l'invention, les branches de l'âme de la brosse sont torsadées pour former des spires tournant dans le même sens que le filetage du bouchon.Generally, the rod carrying the core comprises, at its end remote from the core, a plug provided with a thread for screwing onto the neck of a container containing the mascara, this neck being equipped with a wringer crossed by the brush when removed from container; according to the invention, the branches of the brush core are twisted to form turns turning in the same direction as the thread of the plug.
Pratiquement, le sens de vissage du bouchon relativement au récipient est le sens d'horloge, et les branches de l'âme sont torsadées de manière que les spires tournent en sens d'horloge autour de l'axe de l'âme quand on progresse de la partie de l'âme fixée dans la tige vers l'extrémité libre de l'âme.Practically, the direction of screwing of the stopper relative to the container is the clockwise direction, and the branches of the core are twisted so that the turns turn in clockwise direction around the axis of the core when one progresses from the part of the core fixed in the rod towards the free end of the core.
Ainsi, le mouvement de rotation assurant le dévissage du bouchon relativement au goulot a lieu dans le même sens que le mouvement de rotation qui provoque le dévissage de la brosse relativement à l'essoreur.Thus, the rotational movement ensuring the unscrewing of the plug relative to the neck takes place in the same direction as the rotational movement which causes the unscrewing of the brush relative to the wiper.
L'invention est également relative à un procédé de fabrication d'une brosse de maquillage, procédé selon lequel après avoir replié en U un fil métallique, et après avoir placé des poils entre les branches du U, on torsade les branches du U en faisant tourner en sens contraire d'horloge la partie recourbée du U relativement aux extrémités libres des branches.The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a makeup brush, method according to which after having folded a metal wire into a U, and after having placed bristles between the branches of the U, the branches of the U are twisted by making turn the curved part of the U counterclockwise relative to the free ends of the branches.
Pour la mise en forme des poils de la brosse, on inverse le sens de rotation de la brosse et le sens de rotation d'une tondeuse, par rapport au sens de rotation habituel.For shaping the bristles of the brush, the direction of rotation of the brush and the direction of rotation of a clipper are reversed, relative to the usual direction of rotation.
L'invention consiste, mises à part les dispositions exposées ci-dessus, en un certain nombre d'autres dispositions dont il sera plus explicitement question ci-après à propos d'exemples de réalisation décrits avec référence aux dessins ci-annexés, mais qui ne sont nullement limitatifs.The invention consists, apart from the arrangements set out above, of a certain number of other arrangements which will be more explicitly discussed below in connection with embodiments described with reference to the attached drawings, but which are in no way limiting.
La figure 1 de ces dessins, est un schéma illustrant le maquillage des cils avec une brosse conforme à l'art antérieur.Figure 1 of these drawings is a diagram illustrating the makeup of the eyelashes with a brush according to the prior art.
La figure 2 est un schéma, semblable à celui de la figure 1, illustrant le maquillage avec une brosse conforme à l'invention.Figure 2 is a diagram, similar to that of Figure 1, illustrating makeup with a brush according to the invention.
Les figures 3 et 4 sont des schémas illustrant des phases de fabrication de l'âme d'une brosse selon l'invention.Figures 3 and 4 are diagrams illustrating the manufacturing phases of the core of a brush according to the invention.
La figure 5 est un schéma illustrant la taille des poils de la brosse.Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating the size of the bristles of the brush.
La figure 6 est une vue schématique selon la ligne VI-VI de la figure 5.FIG. 6 is a schematic view along the line VI-VI of FIG. 5.
La figure 7 est une coupe schématique illustrant le début de la sortie d'une brosse, selon l'invention, à partir de son récipient à mascara.Figure 7 is a schematic section illustrating the start of the exit of a brush, according to the invention, from its mascara container.
La figure 8 illustre le passage de la brosse selon l'invention à travers l'essoreur.Figure 8 illustrates the passage of the brush according to the invention through the wiper.
La figure 9, enfin, est un schéma d'une variante de réalisation de la brosse.Figure 9, finally, is a diagram of an alternative embodiment of the brush.
En se reportant à la figure 1 des dessins, on peut voir un schéma illustrant une opération de maquillage avec une brosse 100 de l'art antérieur, portée par une tige 101. La paupière P de l'oeil droit est vue de dessus. L'utilisatrice tient de la main droite la tige 101 en formant un angle A entre l'axe de la tige et une parallèle L à la ligne transversale moyenne des deux yeux. L'angle A, dans la pratique, est de l'ordre de 10 à 15°. Dans la brosse classique 100, les poils 102 forment des nappes 103 en hélice, qui, pour un observateur tenant la brosse 100 devant lui, verticalement, avec son extrémité tournée vers le haut, montent de droite à gauche dans la zone comprise entre l'observateur et l'axe de la brosse.Referring to Figure 1 of the drawings, one can see a diagram illustrating a makeup operation with a
Avec une telle disposition, comme visible sur la figure 1, des cils C sont pratiquement alignés avec les nappes 103 de poils de la brosse. Il en résulte des dépôts de paquets de mascara sur les cils sans que ceux-ci soient séparés par un brossage. Le maquillage résultant demande à être amélioré.With such an arrangement, as visible in FIG. 1, eyelashes C are practically aligned with the
Pour cela, selon l'invention, une brosse 1 à mascara comporte une âme 2 formée à partir d'un fil métallique f recourbé en U d'une manière classique comme illustré sur la figure 3, les poils 3 étant disposés entre les branches 4, 5 du U, sensiblement perpendiculairement au plan de ces branches 4 et 5. Lesdites branches 4 et 5 sont ensuite torsadées en faisant tourner à gauche, c'est-à-dire dans le sens contraire d'horloge, l'extrémité recourbée du U par rapport aux extrémités libres des branches. Ce mouvement de torsion est illustré par une flèche g sur la figure 3.For this, according to the invention, a
Pour bien montrer les spires obtenues, on a représenté, sur la figure 4, les branches 4, 5 torsadées partiellement, les spires n'étant pas encore sensiblement jointives. Lorsque l'âme est terminée, comme illustré sur la figure 2, les spires sont pratiquement jointives serrant entre elles les poils 3.To clearly show the turns obtained, there is shown in Figure 4, the
Il apparaît d'après les figures 2 et 4 que les spires de l'âme 2, vues suivant l'axe X depuis les extrémités libres des branches 4, 5 destinées à être fixées dans la tige, tournent en sens d'horloge autour de l'axe X de l'âme quand on progresse de l'extrémité libre des branches 4, 5, vers l'extrémité opposée de l'âme. Les poils 3 de la brosse forment des nappes hélicoïdales S montant de gauche à droite dans une zone située entre l'âme et un observateur qui tient devant lui la brosse sensiblement verticale avec sa pointe tournée vers le haut. Pour bien illustrer ce sens de montée des nappes S, celles qui sont situées en avant du plan du dessin ont été représentées en traits pleins, tandis que celles qui sont situées en arrière du plan ont été représentées en tirets.It appears from Figures 2 and 4 that the turns of the
L'angle moyen d'inclinaison B des nappes S par rapport à l'axe de l'âme 2 dépend du pas des spires de l'âme 2.The mean angle of inclination B of the sheets S with respect to the axis of the
Avec une brosse 1 conforme à l'invention, dont les spires sont inversées par rapport à une brosse classique, lors du maquillage, comme illustré sur la figure 2, les cils C se présentent transversalement aux nappes S de poils, ce qui a pour effet de déposer le produit de maquillage de façon plus homogène, et surtout de séparer les cils C dès le départ. Avec le même angle A d'environ 15°, les cils C se retrouvent sensiblement à 70° en travers des nappes S, pour un angle B d'environ 35°.With a
Les poils 3, lorsqu'ils sont placés entre les branches 4, 5 du U, comme illustré sur la figure 3, ont généralement la même longueur et leurs extrémités sont alignées, le milieu des poils se trouvant sensiblement sur l'axe de l'âme. Il en résulte qu'après torsion des branches 4, 5 la surface enveloppe des extrémités des poils est une surface cylindrique, de révolution autour de l'axe X de l'âme. Généralement, on donne à la brosse 1 une forme différente de la forme cylindrique, par exemple une forme tronconique effilée vers l'extrémité éloignée de la tige.The
Pour cela, on utilise une tondeuse 7, par exemple de forme tronconique, d'axe parallèle à celui de l'âme, mais tourné en sens opposé. Lors de l'opération de coupe, on fait tourner la brosse 1 et la tondeuse 7 autour de leur axe respectif. Du fait de l'inversion du sens des spires, par rapport à une brosse classique, la brosse et la tondeuse sont mises en rotation dans un sens inverse de celui adopté pour la taille d'une brosse classique.For this, a
La brosse 1 comporte, généralement, à l'extrémité de la tige 6 éloignée de l'âme 2, un bouchon 8 (voir figures 7 et 8) muni d'un filetage interne 9 pour vissage sur le filetage externe 10 du goulot 11 d'un récipient R contenant le mascara. Ce goulot 11 est équipé, intérieurement, d'un essoreur 12 généralement constitué par une sorte de rondelle en matière souple, notamment en matière élastomère ; le diamètre de l'orifice interne de l'essoreur 12 n'est que légèrement supérieur à celui de la tige 6 de sorte que la traversée de cet essoreur 12 a lieu avec une certaine résistance développée par les poils 3 qui doivent se plier au moins partiellement.The
Selon l'invention, les spires de l'âme 2 de la brosse et les nappes S de poils tournent autour de l'axe de la tige 6 dans le même sens que le filetage interne 9 du bouchon 8 et que le filetage externe 10 du goulot 11.According to the invention, the turns of the
Lors de l'extraction de la brosse 1 du récipient R, l'utilisatrice exerce tout d'abord un mouvement de rotation sur le bouchon 8 pour le dévisser du goulot 11. Ce mouvement de rotation s'effectue en sens contraire d'horloge. Lorsque le bouchon 8 est dévissé, l'utilisatrice termine l'extraction en exerçant un mouvement de translation. Dans la pratique, ce mouvement de translation s'accompagne d'un mouvement de rotation dans le même sens que celui qui a provoqué le dévissage du bouchon 8.During the extraction of the
Du fait que les nappes S de la brosse 1 tournent dans le même sens que le filetage 9, le franchissement de l'essoreur 12 par les nappes S, animées d'un mouvement de rotation en sens contraire d'horloge, correspond à un dévissage de la brosse 1 vis-à-vis de l'essoreur 12, ce qui réduit la résistance offerte par les poils 3 lors du passage de l'essoreur 12.Because the plies S of the
Les poils 3 de la brosse résistant moins à l'essoreur créent moins de dépression, donc moins de pistonnage lors de l'extraction. Le produit est mieux réparti le long des poils et ceux-ci lissent mieux le produit le long des cils C.The
Le pas des spires de l'âme 2 peut être choisi différent du pas du filetage 9, pour moduler l'essorage à travers l'essoreur 12.The pitch of the turns of the
De nombreuses variantes de réalisation de la brosse 1 sont possibles. La figure 9 illustre une forme légèrement différente de brosse réalisée avec des poils de plus forte section et dont le nombre par spire est réduit. La brosse peut comporter une âme excentrée.Many variants of the
La brosse pourrait comporter un mélange de poils de sections différentes. Les poils peuvent comporter des rainures ou cannelures capillaires longitudinales. Les poils peuvent être tubulaires.The brush could have a mixture of bristles of different sections. The bristles may have longitudinal capillary grooves or grooves. The bristles can be tubular.
La section transversale des poils 3 peut avoir des formes différentes : circulaire, ovale, multilobée, rectangulaire, plate, etc...The cross section of the
Les extrémités des poils peuvent être déchiquetées ou comporter un renflement. Les poils peuvent être formés d'un mélange de poils relativement rigides et de poils plus souples.The ends of the bristles may be jagged or have a bulge. The bristles can be formed from a mixture of relatively rigid bristles and more flexible bristles.
Dans le cas d'un mélange de poils de diamètre différent, les poils de gros diamètre peuvent être plus longs ou plus courts que ceux de diamètre plus réduit. Les poils sont constitués d'une matière thermoplastique classique comme les polyamides, les polyesters, les polyéther-bloc-amides ou le polytetrafluoroéthylène. Ces matières thermoplastiques peuvent contenir des additifs modifiant la mouillabilité de ces poils ou leurs caractéristiques de glissement. Ces additifs sont choisis parmi le sulfure de molybdène, le nitrure de bore ou le produit commercialisé sous la marque "Teflon", les fullérènes, le graphite, le talc, ou matières analogues.In the case of a mixture of bristles of different diameter, the bristles of large diameter may be longer or shorter than those of smaller diameter. The bristles consist of a conventional thermoplastic material such as polyamides, polyesters, polyether-block amides or polytetrafluoroethylene. These thermoplastic materials may contain additives which modify the wettability of these bristles or their sliding characteristics. These additives are chosen from molybdenum sulfide, boron nitride or the product sold under the brand name "Teflon", fullerenes, graphite, talc, or the like.
