Definitions
- the invention relates to an applicator assembly for a liquid or viscous product usable in particular in the fields of cosmetics, paints or glues.
- the product can be a composition of nail polish or a nail care composition, or a lipstick liquid.
- a set of nail polish application includes a reservoir of varnish and a member for applying this varnish, such as a brush comprising a tuft of hairs, attached to a first end of a rod, the rod being fixed by its other end in a cap serving as a gripping element intended to close the tank, so that the tuft of hairs is immersed in this varnish when the application assembly is closed.
- a member for applying this varnish such as a brush comprising a tuft of hairs, attached to a first end of a rod, the rod being fixed by its other end in a cap serving as a gripping element intended to close the tank, so that the tuft of hairs is immersed in this varnish when the application assembly is closed.
- the tank has a neck provided with a first thread which cooperates with a second thread provided in the cap.
- the neck is generally thick and flat, and fitted with a sealing ring.
- the rod is held in the cap via a support which includes a tray sealing. This sealing plate is in contact with the sealing ring of the neck when the application assembly is closed.
- the user takes the brush out of the reservoir. impregnated with product.
- the brush contains an excess of product. It is therefore necessary to proceed with the elimination of this surplus and for this, the user spins the brush by wiping it on the free end of the neck of the tank.
- the end of the neck being flat and thick, product will remain on the neck and flow along its outer wall and thus soil its thread.
- the product spills on the neck and in the thread. The product thus forms a fouling after drying of the cap-neck assembly. In future uses, it is then difficult, even impossible, to unscrew the cap of the tank.
- the product on the neck no longer allows a good seal of the application assembly because the sealing plate is no longer in sealed contact with the sealing ring on the neck.
- the range of the tray on the neck it is no longer possible to make up for the play that forms between the neck and the range, after the first use which further reduces the tightness.
- the neck has in its opening a skirt having a directed upper edge towards the outside of the tank and suitable for allowing the wiping of the applicator member before applying the product.
- the skirt has an outer and centered wall in the opening of the neck, a space being provided between the internal wall of the neck and the outer wall of the skirt.
- this space is very limited and the excess of product eliminated when the applicator rubs against the upper edge of the skirt can hardly flow in this space, especially when the product is viscous.
- the excess product can overflow and flow onto the external wall of the tank ; it can also obstruct part of said space and therefore interfere the excess product flows into the tank.
- the present invention therefore aims to remedy the drawbacks mentioned above.
- the object of the present invention is, in particular, to provide a set of applications which allows better wiping of the applicator member while avoiding soil the neck of the tank.
- the invention also aims to provide a wringing means allowing to recover the excess product eliminated during the wringing. It also aims to propose wiping means allowing the user to dose the amount of product he wishes to apply.
- the application assembly according to the invention may be suitable for the application of any other liquid or viscous product, and in particular paints, in particular paints for models and for drawings, and glues.
- the present invention therefore relates to a set of application of a liquid product or viscous, comprising a reservoir, comprising a neck provided with an internal wall and a gripping element carrying a submerged applicator member, in the storage position, in the product contained in this tank, this neck defining an opening of the tank, the neck comprising in the opening a skirt having a directed upper edge towards the outside of the tank and able to allow the wiping of the front applicator member applying the product, said skirt being provided with an external wall and being housed in the opening of the neck, a space being provided between the internal wall of the neck and the wall outer of the skirt, this space communicating with the tank, characterized in that the skirt is eccentric with respect to an axis of symmetry (X) of the neck.
- X axis of symmetry
- Said space is open along the axis X of the neck and communicates with the reservoir, thus allowing to recover the excess product eliminated during the wiping operation in the tank.
- the skirt being eccentric, allows to have a larger space between the inner wall of the neck and the outer wall of the skirt compared to the space created in with a centered skirt. Thanks to this larger space, the excess product eliminated when wiping on the upper edge of the skirt flows more easily in the tank. This excess product does not then risk overflowing on the wall external of the tank and to soil the neck, nor to obstruct part of said space. Furthermore, the arrangement of the upper edge of the skirt allows the user to see and control the wiping operation, and therefore to dose the quantity of product to remain on the applicator after wiping.
- holding means can be provided between the wall outer of the skirt and the inner wall of the neck, to keep the skirt in the opening; these holding means can be fixed on the neck.
- They can include, for example, a tube forcibly mounted in the opening of the neck, the skirt being linked to the tube by connecting means which can be, for example, rigid tongues or a weld in a direction substantially parallel to the neck axis X, generally cylindrical.
- the tube may have at its end upper flange which rests on the upper edge of the neck so to ensure its maintenance in the neck, as well as the maintenance of the skirt.
- the connection between the neck and the tube could be ensured by gluing.
- the skirt has a section, along a plane perpendicular to the axis X, substantially cylindrical or oval, but can be of any other shape.
- At least part of the upper edge of the skirt is located above the free end of the neck, allowing the user to easily see and to properly control the wiping operation of the applicator member.
- the entire upper edge of the skirt is located above the end free of the neck for a better vision of the wiping. In the presence of the collar of the holding tube, it is desirable that said part protrude above of the collar.
- the upper edge of the skirt is located substantially in a plane perpendicular to the X axis.
- the upper edge of the skirt is located substantially in a plane inclined with respect to the axis X.
- the plane is inclined at an angle ⁇ ranging from 10 ° to 60 °.
- part of the upper edge of the skirt is at a higher height than the rest of the edge.
- the user will preferably wipe the applicator on the highest part from the edge of the skirt, which makes the wiping operation easier and more precise.
- the highest part of the edge of the skirt is diametrically opposite the part closest to the inner wall of the neck, allowing thus with the excess of product, during wiping, to flow in the space arranged in the opening of the neck.
- the skirt can be welded to the tube in a direction substantially parallel to the X axis, which ensures good retention of the skirt on the tube and the assembly tube skirt can then be molded in one piece.
- the outer wall of the skirt and at least part of the wall internal of the tube are confused.
- the applicator member can be a brush, a foam, a feather, a plastic flocked or molded plastic.
- the applicator member When the applicator member is a brush, it consists of a tuft bristles, the bristles being capable of being made of any material and in any known form of the skilled person.
- the application set of the invention is perfectly suited to packaging nail polish.
- the invention also relates to a set application of a nail varnish comprising a reservoir, comprising a neck and a gripping element carrying a submerged applicator member, storage position, in the varnish contained in this tank, this neck defining an opening of the reservoir, the neck comprising in the opening a skirt having an upper edge directed towards the outside of the tank and able to allow wiping the applicator member on this edge before applying the product, said skirt being provided with an external wall and being housed in the opening of the neck, a space being provided between said inner wall and said outer wall, characterized by the fact that the skirt is eccentric with respect to an axis X of the tank.
- Figure 1 is an elevational view of an application assembly according to a first variant of the invention.
- Figure 2 is an elevational view of the application assembly of Figure 1 during the wiping operation of the applicator member.
- Figure 3 is an axial section of the wiping element of the application assembly of figure 1.
- Figure 4 is an axial section of a wiping element of an application assembly according to a second variant of the invention.
- an application set designated by reference 2 comprising a reservoir 4 having an axis longitudinal X of symmetry and a cap 6.
- the substantially cylindrical reservoir 4 contains a liquid or viscous product to apply, which can be example a composition of nail polish.
- the tank is usually in glass.
- the reservoir 4 comprises a neck 10 provided with an internal wall 11, with a thread 12 and an opening 14 which includes a wiping element 16.
- This element 16 includes a cylindrical skirt 18 provided with an upper edge 32 directed outwards of the reservoir and of a lower edge 33 directed towards the interior of the reservoir.
- the skirt 18 is housed in a cylindrical tube 20 and is connected to this by a weld 22 longitudinal in a direction substantially parallel to the axis X. The skirt 18 is thus eccentric with respect to the axis X.
- the tube 20 is force-fitted in the opening 14 of the neck 10 and has at its upper part a flange 24 which rests on the upper edge 26 of the neck, which makes it possible to maintain the tube 20 in the opening 14 of the neck 10 at a constant height.
- a space 28 is provided between the outer wall 29 of the skirt 18 and the inner wall 30 of the tube.
- the skirt-tube assembly is made in a single piece, in particular of plastic, and part of the outer wall of the skirt and part of the inner wall of the tube are confused.
- the skirt 18 has an eccentric cylindrical cross section along the X axis.
- the upper edge 32 of the skirt is located substantially in a plane P which is inclined by an angle ⁇ with respect to the X axis.
- ⁇ can be equal to 45 °.
- the part of the upper edge 32 of the highest skirt is situated at a height h which is above the upper edge 26 of the neck, and even above the flange 24.
- the cap 6 comprises a cylindrical sleeve 34 serving as a gripping element whose internal wall is provided with a thread 36 complementary to the thread 12 of the neck 10.
- the cap also includes an applicator member 38 which is in the present case a brush comprising a tuft of bristles 40 fixed at the free end 42a of a rod 42.
- the other end (not shown) of the rod is fixed in the cap 6 via a sealing plate of complementary shape to that of the neck-wiping element assembly.
- the cap 6 When the application assembly is closed, the cap 6 is screwed onto the reservoir 4.
- the user wishes to apply product 8, he unscrews the cap and takes the brush 38 out of the reservoir.
- the brush 38 then has an excess of product.
- the user wipes the brush on the upper edge 32 of the skirt 16.
- the removed excess product will then flow along the internal and external walls of the skirt 18 and in particular in the space 28, then reach inside the tank 4.
- the skirt 18 being eccentric with respect to the axis X, the space 28 facilitates the flow of the product eliminated during the spinning of the brush.
- the excess eliminated does not flow along the external wall of the neck 10 and does not soil the thread 12.
- the emergence of the upper edge 32 of the tank allows the user to see the wiping operation: the user can therefore dose visually the amount of product that remains on the brush after wiping.
- the skirt 18 can be made of glass and the skirt-neck assembly made in a single room.
- part of the outer wall 29 of the skirt and part of the wall internal 11 of the neck are combined.
