Description

La présente invention a pour objet une structure applicatrice sous forme de gant. Elle trouve notamment son utilisation dans le domaine des gants utilisés pour assurer une friction des cheveux et du cuir chevelu en général. On connaît des gants de toilette pour le corps généralement réalisés en coton ou en éponge. L'intérêt de l'invention est de proposer un gant permettant de venir au contact de l'ensemble de la masse des cheveux tout en limitant la gestuelle pour obtenir ce résultat.The present invention relates to an applicator structure in the form of a glove. It finds particular use in the field of gloves used to ensure friction of the hair and scalp in general. Body wash gloves generally known in cotton or terry are known. The advantage of the invention is to provide a glove to come into contact with the entire body of hair while limiting the gesture to achieve this result.

Un gant de toilette a dans son mode de réalisation le plus simple une forme rectangulaire réalisée de telle sorte que deux panneaux de tissus sont reliés de manière à prévoir une ouverture au niveau d'un des bords du rectangle pour qu'une main d'un utilisateur puisse être insérée entre ces deux panneaux de tissus. L'utilisateur peut éventuellement mouiller et imprégner son gant d'un produit d'hygiène corporelle, pour appliquer ledit produit sur sa peau.A washcloth has in its simplest embodiment a rectangular shape made such that two fabric panels are connected to provide an opening at one of the edges of the rectangle so that a hand of a user can be inserted between these two fabric panels. The user can possibly wet and impregnate his glove with a personal care product, to apply the product on his skin.

On connait des documents EP-0820705 et US-3874014 des gants à franges.We know documents EP-0820705 and US 3874014 gloves with fringes.

Pour répondre aux besoins d'une clientèle nomade, ayant peu d'accès à des points d'eau, il a été développé des gants imprégnés de produits d'hygiène corporelle, effectifs même lors d'une application à sec. Notamment on connaît des lingettes, morceaux de tissus généralement rectangulaires, imprégnées de produits démaquillants, ou de produits moussants pour le nettoyage de la peau, ou de compositions déodorantes et ou rafraîchissantes.To meet the needs of a nomadic clientele, with little access to water points, gloves have been developed that are impregnated with personal hygiene products, effective even when applied dry. In particular, there are known wipes, generally rectangular pieces of fabric, impregnated with makeup removers, or foaming products for cleaning the skin, or deodorant and or refreshing compositions.

Dans le domaine capillaire, si on utilise de telles lingettes, par exemple imprégnées de produits de soin capillaire, on est confronté au problème qu'elles sont difficiles à manipuler et de plus le résultat obtenu n'est pas optimal. En effet, lors de la friction des cheveux, la lingette se met rapidement en boule. Il est nécessaire alors de tenir fermement la lingette dans la main, mais ce geste n'est pas compatible avec la gestuelle adéquate pour assurer un maximum de contact avec la masse de cheveux. On a par conséquent uniquement une friction en surface et non dans la masse des cheveux.In the hair field, if such wipes are used, for example impregnated with hair care products, the problem is that they are difficult to handle and moreover the result obtained is not optimal. Indeed, during the friction of the hair, the wipe is quickly balled. It is then necessary to firmly hold the wipe in the hand, but this gesture is not compatible with the proper gestures to ensure maximum contact with the hair mass. As a result, there is only friction on the surface and not in the mass of the hair.

Pour améliorer la friction de la masse de cheveux, il est connu d'utiliser des gants. Ces gants moulent la main de l'utilisateur et lui permettent avec chaque doigt de gant de pénétrer dans la masse des cheveux.To improve the friction of the hair mass, it is known to use gloves. These gloves mold the hand of the user and allow him with each finger of glove to penetrate the mass of the hair.

Dans l'état de la technique, on connaît de l'enseignement du document GB-A-2,035,052 , un gant étanche à l'eau et permettant de masser les cheveux lors de l'application d'un shampoing. Ce gant présente au niveau de chacun des doigts du gant des petites protubérances coniques dépassant radialement de la surface extérieure de ces doigts de gant. Ce gant est moulé dans un matériau plastique. Il n'est donc pas un bon support pour être imprégné de produits cosmétiques et ou d'hygiène. En effet, pour une imprégnation avec un produit d'hygiène, qu'il soit destiné à une application sur la peau ou sur les cheveux, on choisit de préférence des matériaux absorbants.In the state of the art, the teaching of the document is known GB-A-2035052 , a glove waterproof and allowing to massage the hair when applying a shampoo. This glove has at each of the fingers of the glove small conical protrusions protruding radially from the outer surface of these thimbles. This glove is molded in a plastic material. It is therefore not a good medium to be impregnated with cosmetics and or hygiene. Indeed, for an impregnation with a hygiene product, whether intended for application to the skin or to the hair, absorbent materials are preferably chosen.

Par exemple, des matériaux absorbants utilisables sont ceux prévus pour la réalisation des lingettes. Le problème posé par ces gants, réalisés à partir de tels matériaux et imprégnés de telles substances, est qu'ils ont un coût de fabrication élevé. En effet, pour réaliser un gant avec des doigts individualisés, on colle deux feuilles de tissus absorbants ensemble, et on les découpe ensuite selon un patron individualisant chacun des doigts. On a donc une perte entre la quantité de tissus utilisée et le nombre de gants qui sont effectivement réalisés. Ces chutes sont irrécupérables, et nécessitent de plus une étape de recyclage dans le procédé de fabrication. Enfin, une fois que les gants sont fabriqués, ils forment autant d'unités confectionnées à imprégner de produit. La manipulation de chacune de ces unités est contraignante. Or il est impossible d'imprégner le tissu au préalable, car ensuite il n'est plus découpable que manuellement, ce qui est long et fastidieux.For example, absorbent materials that can be used are those intended for producing wipes. The problem posed by these gloves, made from such materials and impregnated with such substances, is that they have a high manufacturing cost. Indeed, to achieve a glove with individualized fingers, two sheets of absorbent tissue are glued together, and then cut according to a pattern individualizing each of the fingers. There is therefore a loss between the amount of tissue used and the number of gloves that are actually made. These falls are irretrievable, and moreover require a recycling step in the manufacturing process. Finally, once the gloves are made, they form as many units made to impregnate product. The manipulation of each of these units is binding. But it is impossible to impregnate the fabric beforehand, because then it is more than manually cutable, which is long and tedious.

De plus, dans le cas d'une découpe post-imprégnation, la découpe manuelle des gants génère un risque de contamination bactérienne, et impose une étape supplémentaire de purification des gants réalisés. Cette dernière étape vient encore alourdir le procédé de fabrication.In addition, in the case of a post-impregnation cut, the manual cutting of the gloves generates a risk of bacterial contamination, and imposes an additional step of purification of the gloves made. This last step further adds to the manufacturing process.

La présente invention a pour objet de remédier aux problèmes cités ci-dessus en proposant un gant formant une cavité dans laquelle un utilisateur peut insérer sa main. Ce gant comporte des lambeaux dépassant d'un pourtour extérieur du gant de manière à augmenter la surface de contact proposée par le gant. Notamment lorsque l'utilisateur muni de ce gant, passe sa main dans une masse de cheveux, les lambeaux constituent autant de surfaces de contact supplémentaires avec les cheveux. Ces lambeaux correspondent en l'occurrence à une prolongation du matériau constituant le gant au-delà du pourtour extérieur strict de la cavité à l'intérieur de laquelle on peut insérer une main. En effet, lorsqu'un utilisateur insère sa main dans le gant, et en particulier un de ses doigts dans l'un des doigts du gant, même si son doigt est moulé par le pourtour intérieur du doigt de gant, celui ci présente un lambeau flottant autour du pourtour extérieur. Le gant ainsi réalisé présente comme surface de contact, le pourtour extérieur des doigts de gant et du gant, augmenté de la surface extérieure présentée par ces lambeaux.The present invention aims to overcome the problems mentioned above by providing a glove forming a cavity in which a user can insert his hand. This glove has flaps protruding from an outer periphery of the glove so as to increase the contact surface proposed by the glove. Especially when the user with this glove, passes his hand in a hair mass, the flaps constitute as many additional contact surfaces with the hair. These flaps correspond in this case to an extension of the material constituting the glove beyond the strict outer periphery of the cavity inside which one can insert a hand. Indeed, when a user inserts his hand in the glove, and in particular one of his fingers in one of the fingers of the glove, even if his finger is molded by the inner periphery of the thimble, it presents a flap floating around the outside perimeter. The glove thus produced has as a contact surface, the outer periphery of the glove fingers and the glove, increased by the outer surface presented by these flaps.

La cavité à l'intérieur de laquelle la main est insérée est délimitée par une zone de jonction, cette zone de jonction reliant un premier panneau à un deuxième panneau. La main est d'ailleurs insérée entre ces deux panneaux depuis une ouverture non obturée par cette zone de jonction.The cavity inside which the hand is inserted is delimited by a junction zone, this junction zone connecting a first panel to a second panel. The hand is also inserted between these two panels from an opening not closed by this junction area.

On obtient ainsi un gant développant une surface de contact importante, qui permet notamment de frictionner les cheveux en venant au contact du pourtour extérieur de la plupart d'entre eux. On obtient ainsi une meilleure friction des cheveux. En effet, lorsque l'on souhaite laver les cheveux, ou bien leur appliquer un traitement soignant, colorant ou autre, pour obtenir un résultat uniforme il est absolument nécessaire de venir au contact de chacun d'entre eux; et ce dans la profondeur de la masse chevelue. L'invention permet d'obtenir un tel résultat.This gives a glove developing a large contact surface, which allows in particular to rub the hair coming into contact with the outer periphery of most of them. This gives a better friction of the hair. Indeed, when it is desired to wash the hair, or to apply to them a care, coloring or other treatment, to obtain a uniform result it is absolutely necessary to come into contact with each of them; and this in the depth of the hairy mass. The invention makes it possible to obtain such a result.

L'invention concerne un dispositif comportant une première feuille et une deuxième feuille, la première feuille étant reliée à la deuxième feuille selon une zone de liaison, une cavité accessible via au moins une ouverture étant formée entre les deux feuilles d'un côté de ladite zone de liaison, caractérisé en ce que le dispositif présente de l'autre côté de la zone de liaison au moins une bande souple formée par l'une au moins des feuilles et en ce que les deux feuilles ont respectivement une forme rectangulaire, ladite cavité étant orientée obliquement relativement aux dites feuilles.The invention relates to a device comprising a first sheet and a second sheet, the first sheet being connected to the second sheet according to a connecting zone, a cavity accessible via at least one opening being formed between the two sheets on one side of said connecting zone, characterized in that the device has on the other side of the connection zone at least one flexible strip formed by at least one of the sheets and in that the two sheets respectively have a rectangular shape, said cavity being oriented obliquely relative to said sheets.

Dans le cas où les feuilles assemblées ont sensiblement et respectivement des formes rectangulaires, pour garantir une longueur maximale de cette bande souple, notamment dans le cas où la ligne de liaison délimite une forme de gant, la cavité est donc orientée obliquement relativement aux dites feuilles. De préférence, une telle orientation conduit à présenter l'ouverture du gant dans un coin du rectangle, la zone de liaison débouchant sur respectivement deux bords distincts et orthogonaux des deux feuilles. La main est alors introduite dans le gant de telle sorte qu'elle s'étend préférentiellement selon une diagonale du rectangle. On peut ainsi facilement limiter la proportion de bande souple qui sera ensuite disposée autour du poignet d'une main qui serait introduite dans un tel gant, et maximiser la surface des feuilles qui pourrait par exemple être mise au contact de cheveux selon une gestuelle classique.In the case where the assembled sheets have substantially and respectively rectangular shapes, to ensure a maximum length of this flexible band, especially in the case where the connecting line defines a form of glove, the cavity is oriented obliquely relative to said sheets. Preferably, such an orientation leads to present the opening of the glove in a corner of the rectangle, the connecting zone opening on respectively two distinct and orthogonal edges of the two sheets. The hand is then introduced into the glove so that it extends preferably along a diagonal of the rectangle. It is thus easy to limit the proportion of flexible band which will then be placed around the wrist of a hand which would be introduced into such a glove, and maximize the surface of the sheets which could for example be brought into contact with hair according to a conventional gesture.

Pour simplifier le procédé de fabrication et avoir une certaine tolérance pour la mise en vis-à-vis des deux feuilles, chacune de ces deux feuilles peuvent présenter des bandes souples. Par exemple, les deux feuilles ont les mêmes dimensions et sont superposées de telle sorte que les bandes souples soient de même forme et se superposent.To simplify the manufacturing process and to have a certain tolerance for facing the two sheets, each of these two sheets may have flexible bands. For example, the two sheets have the same dimensions and are superimposed so that the flexible strips are of the same shape and are superimposed.

Pour améliorer les contacts avec chacun des cheveux d'une masse de cheveux, la (ou les) bande(s) souple(s) forme(nt) des franges. Les franges sont elles mêmes souples et s'orientent indistinctement les unes par rapport aux autres dans la masse de cheveux. Les franges viennent ainsi aléatoirement créer des surfaces de contact supplémentaires.To improve the contact with each hair of a mass of hair, the flexible band (s) form (s) fringes. The fringes themselves are flexible and are oriented indistinctly relative to each other in the mass of hair. The fringes thus randomly create additional contact surfaces.

Pour amplifier ces orientations aléatoires, et ainsi augmenter les contacts, une frange comporte au moins deux volants. Les volants sont par exemple découpés selon un axe intermédiaire sécant à un axe longitudinal de la frange.To amplify these random orientations, and thus increase the contacts, a fringe comprises at least two flywheels. For example, the ruffles are cut along an intersecting central axis at a longitudinal axis of the fringe.

La zone de liaison forme au moins une courbe de manière à ce que la cavité présente au moins une excroissance pour recevoir au moins un doigt. Idéalement la zone de liaison délimite plusieurs excroissances pour recevoir chacune respectivement un doigt d'une main, de manière à ce que la cavité définisse un gant. Par ailleurs, au moins une excroissance est prolongée par au moins une frange.The connecting zone forms at least one curve so that the cavity has at least one protrusion to receive at least one finger. Ideally the connecting zone delimits several growths to each receive respectively a finger of a hand, so that the cavity defines a glove. Moreover, at least one protrusion is extended by at least one fringe.

L'une au moins des feuilles peut être constituée d'un matériau non tissé. Ce type de matériau non tissé peut être imprégné au moins en partie d'un produit cosmétique, notamment un produit de traitement capillaire.At least one of the sheets may be made of a nonwoven material. This type of nonwoven material may be impregnated at least in part with a cosmetic product, in particular a hair treatment product.

Dans une variante, la zone de liaison est discontinue. Dans ce cas, la cavité comporte plusieurs ouvertures.In a variant, the connection zone is discontinuous. In this case, the cavity has several openings.

Par ailleurs, l'invention permet d'obtenir de tels gants par un procédé de fabrication simplifié, avec un bas coût de revient, et facilement industrialisable. En effet, le procédé de fabrication selon l'invention ne génère pas de chutes, et d'autre part, la découpe des gants est simplifiée et peut être faite en continu sans rupture de la chaîne de fabrication.Furthermore, the invention makes it possible to obtain such gloves by a simplified manufacturing method, with a low cost, and easily industrializable. Indeed, the manufacturing method according to the invention does not generate falls, and secondly, the cutting of the gloves is simplified and can be made continuously without breaking the production line.

Le procédé prévoit notamment que deux feuilles rectangles de matériau sont assemblées au niveau d'une zone de jonction, de manière à former d'un côté de ladite zone de jonction une cavité entre les deux feuilles, cette cavité étant accessible via au moins une ouverture. La zone de jonction est disposée de telle sorte qu'au moins une des feuilles forme une bande souple de l'autre côté de la zone de jonction, et de telle sorte que ladite cavité soit orientée obliquement relativement aux dites feuilles.The method provides in particular that two rectangular sheets of material are assembled at a junction zone, so as to form on one side of said junction zone a cavity between the two sheets, this cavity being accessible via at least one opening . The junction zone is arranged such that at least one of the sheets forms a flexible band on the other side of the junction zone, and such that said cavity is oriented obliquely relative to said sheets.

Préférentiellement, la bande souple ainsi définie est ensuite découpée de manière à définir les emplacements des lambeaux. Ces lambeaux, ou franges, pouvant eux-mêmes être découpés de manière à présenter des volants, les lambeaux et leurs volants sont par exemple réalisés par découpe à l'emporte pièce.Preferably, the flexible band thus defined is then cut to define the locations of the flaps. These flaps, or fringes, may themselves be cut so as to have flounces, the flaps and their flounces are for example made by cutting with the punch.

Dans le cas d'un procédé en continu de fabrication, à partir d'au moins une nappe de matériau en bande continu, les découpes des lambeaux ne rejoignent pas les bords de la nappe. On peut ainsi facilement la manipuler. Dans ce cas, au cours d'une dernière étape, les feuilles sont découpées, par exemple par une découpe au rouleau, de manière à séparer les gants ainsi formés de la (ou des) nappe(s) de matériau en bande.In the case of a continuous manufacturing process, from at least one web of continuous web material, the flap cuts do not join the edges of the web. It can easily be manipulated. In this case, during a last step, the sheets are cut, for example by a roll cut, so as to separate the gloves thus formed from the (or) sheet (s) of strip material.

Plus particulièrement, dans le cas d'un procédé en continu, soit les deux feuilles sont formées à partir de deux nappes disposées sur des rouleaux et déroulées en simultané, soit les deux feuilles sont formées à partir d'une nappe déroulée et repliée sur elle-même autour de son axe longitudinal, l'axe longitudinal se définissant de préférence parallèlement à un axe de déroulement de la nappe.More particularly, in the case of a continuous process, either the two sheets are formed from two sheets arranged on rolls and unwound simultaneously, or the two sheets are formed from a sheet unrolled and folded over it. even around its longitudinal axis, the longitudinal axis being preferably defined parallel to a line unwinding axis.

La Figure 1 montre un dispositif 1 selon l'invention. Le dispositif 1 forme une poche, il comporte une première feuille 2, ici représentée comme une feuille supérieure du dispositif 1, et une deuxième feuille 3 respectivement représentée comme une feuille inférieure du dispositif 1. Dans cet exemple, les feuilles 2 et 3 sont en vis-à-vis l'une de l'autre, et se superposent. Les feuilles sont reliées au niveau d'une zone de liaison 4, de manière à délimiter la poche au moins d'un côté de la zone de liaison 4. Cette zone de liaison 4 comporte au moins une courbure pour présenter la poche du côté intérieur de la courbure. La poche est par ailleurs ouverte de manière à ce qu'une main d'un utilisateur puisse être introduite entre les feuilles ainsi assemblées. La zone de liaison 4 se définit de préférence à l'intérieur, et non sur le pourtour, des feuilles du dispositif 1.The Figure 1 shows a device 1 according to the invention. The device 1 forms a pocket, it comprises a first sheet 2, here represented as an upper sheet of the device 1, and a second sheet 3 respectively represented as a lower sheet of the device 1. In this example, the sheets 2 and 3 are in vis-à-vis one another, and overlap. The sheets are connected at a connecting zone 4, so as to define the pocket at least on one side of the connecting zone 4. This connecting zone 4 has at least one curvature to present the pocket on the inside. curvature. The pocket is also open so that a hand of a user can be inserted between the sheets thus assembled. The connecting zone 4 is preferably defined inside, and not on the periphery, of the sheets of the device 1.

La liaison est faite entre les deux feuilles 2 et 3 par des moyens d'assemblage, comme la colle, la soudure thermique, la soudure ultrasonique ou haute fréquence. De préférence, on choisit le moyen d'assemblage adapté au matériau constitutif des feuilles.The connection is made between the two sheets 2 and 3 by means of assembly, such as glue, thermal welding, ultrasonic welding or high frequency. Preferably, the assembly means adapted to the constituent material of the sheets are chosen.

Les feuilles sont réalisées dans un matériau de préférence non tissé. Par exemple, on choisit un matériau comportant 70% de viscose et 30% de polyéthylène téréphtalate. De préférence, il s'agit d'un matériau absorbant de manière à pouvoir être imprégné d'une solution. Il est par exemple imprégné d'un produit d'hygiène corporelle ou plus particulièrement d'un produit pour le soin capillaire, comme un shampoing, un colorant, un réhydratant, ou un plixant (produit ayant un pouvoir de durcissement de la fibre de cheveu). La feuille se présente par exemple sous une forme plane de faible épaisseur avec une densité de l'ordre de 70 grammes/m2.The sheets are made of a preferably non-woven material. For example, a material having 70% viscose and 30% polyethylene terephthalate is selected. Preferably, it is an absorbent material so that it can be impregnated with a solution. It is for example impregnated with a personal hygiene product or more particularly with a product for the hair care, such as a shampoo, a dye, a rehydrating agent, or a plixant (product having a hardening power of the hair fiber ). The sheet is for example in a thin planar shape with a density of the order of 70 grams / m 2 .

Dans l'exemple présenté Figure 1, les feuilles 2 et 3 sont rectangulaires et comportent au moins trois bordures 5, 6, 7 communes et strictement en vis-à-vis. Parmi ces trois bordures, les bordures 5 et 7 sont reliées par la zone de liaison 4, alors que la bordure 6 est dite "ouverte" dans la mesure où les deux feuilles 2 et 3 ne sont pas reliées au niveau de cette bordure 6. La bordure 6 présente donc une ouverture 8. Un utilisateur peut par exemple insérer sa main depuis l'ouverture 8 de manière à la disposer entre les deux feuilles 2 et 3.In the example presented Figure 1 , leaves 2 and 3 are rectangular and have at least three edges 5, 6, 7 common and strictly vis-à-vis. Among these three borders, the borders 5 and 7 are connected by the connecting zone 4, while the border 6 is called "open" insofar as the two sheets 2 and 3 are not connected at this edge 6. The border 6 thus has an opening 8. A user can for example insert his hand from the opening 8 so as to have it between the two sheets 2 and 3.

La zone de liaison 4 est continue dans l'exemple présenté figure 1. En effet, un segment 9 de la zone de liaison 4 relie les bordures 5 et 7. Au niveau de ce segment 9, les feuilles 2 et 3 sont reliées. De ce fait, le dispositif 1 définit une cavité 10 entre les feuilles 2 et 3, cette cavité 10 étant accessible uniquement depuis l'ouverture 8.The connection zone 4 is continuous in the example presented figure 1 . Indeed, a segment 9 of the connecting zone 4 connects the borders 5 and 7. At this segment 9, the sheets 2 and 3 are connected. As a result, the device 1 defines a cavity 10 between the sheets 2 and 3, this cavity 10 being accessible only from the opening 8.

Par rapport à la zone de liaison 4, d'un premier côté 11 du segment 9, c'est à dire à gauche sur la Figure 1, on a la cavité 10, alors que d'un deuxième côté 13 du segment 9 on définit une bande souple 12. La bande souple 12 correspond à une portion de l'une des feuilles 2 ou 3 dépassant au-delà de la zone de liaison 4. Sur la figure 1, la première feuille 2 se prolonge au-delà de la zone de liaison 4 pour former cette bande souple 12. Le segment 9 de la zone de liaison 4 n'est donc pas réalisé à la bordure de la feuille 2. La bande souple 12 est mobile par rapport au reste de la feuille 2 qui est, elle, retenue solidairement avec la deuxième feuille 3. Par exemple, la bande souple 12 s'étend orthogonalement au segment 9 sur une longueur de l'ordre du centimètre. Cette longueur est par exemple comprise entre 0,5 centimètres et 5 centimètres.With respect to the connection zone 4, a first side 11 of the segment 9, ie to the left on the Figure 1 there is the cavity 10, while a second side 13 of the segment 9 defines a flexible band 12. The flexible band 12 corresponds to a portion of one of the sheets 2 or 3 protruding beyond the zone of 4. On the figure 1 , the first sheet 2 extends beyond the connecting zone 4 to form this flexible strip 12. The segment 9 of the connecting zone 4 is not made at the edge of the sheet 2. The flexible strip 12 is mobile by relative to the remainder of the sheet 2 which is retained integrally with the second sheet 3. For example, the flexible strip 12 extends orthogonally to the segment 9 over a length of about one centimeter. This length is for example between 0.5 centimeters and 5 centimeters.

Dans une variante, la zone de liaison 4 peut être discontinue, à condition que le dispositif 1 présente au moins une excroissance telle que la bande souple 12.In a variant, the connection zone 4 may be discontinuous, provided that the device 1 has at least one protrusion such as the flexible band 12.

Dans une autre variante, les deux feuilles 2 et 3 peuvent présenter une bande souple telle que 12. Dans ce cas, la deuxième feuille 3 présente une deuxième bande souple 14. Les bandes souples 12 et 14 n'ont pas nécessairement la même forme et ne se superposent pas obligatoirement. Elles sont indépendantes l'une de l'autre. De facto, les feuilles 2 et 3 ne présentent pas nécessairement la même forme, et peuvent être en vis-à-vis que partiellement.In another variant, the two sheets 2 and 3 may have a flexible strip such as 12. In this case, the second sheet 3 has a second flexible strip 14. The flexible strips 12 and 14 do not necessarily have the same shape and do not necessarily overlap. They are independent of each other. De facto, the sheets 2 and 3 do not necessarily have the same shape, and can be vis-à-vis only partially.

Dans un autre exemple, la bande souple peut être définie sur tout le long de la zone de liaison 4. Dans ce cas, la bande souple 12 dépasse du deuxième côté 13 sur tout ou partie de la zone de liaison 4.In another example, the flexible strip may be defined along the entire connecting zone 4. In this case, the flexible strip 12 protrudes from the second side 13 over all or part of the connection zone 4.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, présenté Figure 2, le dispositif 1 forme un rectangle dans lequel la zone de liaison 4 est continue et comporte au moins une courbe 15 prévue de manière à former une excroissance 16 de la cavité 10. L'excroissance 16 forme plus particulièrement un prolongement tubulaire de la cavité 10. Ce prolongement tubulaire 16 est en particulier prévu pour pouvoir recevoir un doigt de la main d'un utilisateur. De préférence, la zone de liaison 4 forme plusieurs courbes reliées entre elles pour former plusieurs prolongements tubulaires tels que 16. Par exemple, la cavité 10 comporte cinq prolongements tubulaires tels que 16 pour chacun recevoir un doigt d'une main. Dans ce cas, chacun des cinq prolongements peut présenter un pourtour intérieur d'une forme compatible avec le doigt qu'il est sensé recevoir : pouce, index, majeur, annulaire ou auriculaire.In a preferred embodiment, presented Figure 2 , the device 1 forms a rectangle in which the connection zone 4 is continuous and comprises at least one curve 15 provided so as to form an outgrowth 16 of the cavity 10. The protrusion 16 more particularly forms a tubular extension of the cavity 10 This tubular extension 16 is in particular provided to receive a finger from the hand of a user. Preferably, the connecting zone 4 forms several curves interconnected to form several tubular extensions such as 16. For example, the cavity 10 comprises five tubular extensions such as 16 for each receive a finger of a hand. In this case, each of the five extensions may have an inner periphery of a shape compatible with the finger that is supposed to receive: thumb, index, major, ring or ear.

Du premier côté 11 de la zone de liaison 4, la poche définit ainsi un gant. Du deuxième côté 13 de la zone de liaison 4, on a la bande souple 12 et éventuellement 14, qui dépasse(nt) de la zone de liaison 4.On the first side 11 of the connecting zone 4, the pocket thus defines a glove. On the second side 13 of the connection zone 4, there is the flexible band 12 and possibly 14, which exceeds (s) the connecting zone 4.

Pour libérer les doigts du gant les uns des autres; on réalise une découpe 17 de la bande souple 12. La bande 12 est alors séparée en au moins deux franges respectivement 18 et 19. La découpe 17 se fait dans la bande souple 12, le long d'un axe sécant à la zone de liaison 4, et quasiment jusqu'à l'atteinte de la zone de liaison 4. Par ailleurs, la découpe 17 se fait jusqu'à une bordure 20 de la surface, ici de forme rectangle, dans laquelle est inscrit le dispositif 1. Les deux franges 18 et 19 sont donc chacune retenue au niveau de la zone de liaison 4 tout en restant dans la continuité de la feuille 2. Par ailleurs, les franges 18 et 19 sont délimitées par la découpe 17 d'une part, et la bordure 20 du rectangle.To free the fingers of the glove from each other; a cut 17 is made of the flexible band 12. The band 12 is then separated into at least two fringes respectively 18 and 19. The cutout 17 is made in the flexible band 12, along an axis intersecting with the connection zone. 4, and almost until the attainment of the connecting zone 4. Furthermore, the cutout 17 is made to a border 20 of the surface, here of rectangle shape, in which is inscribed the device 1. The two fringes 18 and 19 are each retained at the connecting zone 4 while remaining in the continuity of the sheet 2. Moreover, the fringes 18 and 19 are delimited by the cutout 17 on the one hand, and the edge 20 of the rectangle.

Dans le cas où le gant présente cinq doigts, on réalise à cet effet quatre découpes telles que 17, respectivement 17, 21, 22, et 23. De fait, la bande souple 12 est alors partagée en cinq franges respectivement 18, 19, 24, 25 et 26. Par exemple, la découpe 17 permet de séparer le "pouce" de l'"index", la frange 18 étant définie autour du "pouce". La découpe 21 sépare l'"index" du "majeur", la frange 19 étant alors définie autour de l'"index". La découpe 22 sépare le "majeur" de l'"annulaire", la frange 24 étant définie autour du "majeur". La découpe 23 sépare l'"annulaire" de l'"auriculaire", la frange 25 étant définie autour de l'"annulaire" et la dernière frange 26 étant définie autour de l'"auriculaire".In the case where the glove has five fingers, it produces for this purpose four cutouts such as 17, respectively 17, 21, 22, and 23. In fact, the flexible band 12 is then divided into five fringes respectively 18, 19, 24 , 25 and 26. For example, the cutout 17 makes it possible to separate the "thumb" from the "index", the fringe 18 being defined around the "thumb". The cut 21 separates the "index" from the "major", the fringe 19 then being defined around the "index". The cutout 22 separates the "major" from the "annular", the fringe 24 being defined around the "major". The cutout 23 separates the "annular" from the "little finger", the fringe 25 being defined around the "annular" and the last fringe 26 being defined around the "little finger".

On définit un axe longitudinal 27 d'une main comme étant celui de l'avant-bras dans la continuité duquel elle s'inscrit, notamment lorsque les doigts sont parallèles à l'avant bras. L'ouverture 8 est de préférence réalisée de telle sorte que l'axe longitudinal 27 de la main est oblique par rapport au rectangle dans lequel est formé le gant. Sur la figure 2, l'ouverture 8 est définie dans un coin de ce rectangle. A cet effet, la zone de liaison 4 débouche en deux points du pourtour extérieur du rectangle, de part et d'autre de ce coin, définissant entre ces deux points l'ouverture 8. En l'occurrence, un premier point débouche au niveau d'un bord 50, et le deuxième point au niveau d'un deuxième bord 51 adjacent au premier bord 50, les deux bords 50 et 51 étant ici présenté orthogonaux.A longitudinal axis 27 of a hand is defined as that of the forearm in the continuity of which it is part, especially when the fingers are parallel to the forearm. The opening 8 is preferably made so that the longitudinal axis 27 of the hand is oblique with respect to the rectangle in which the glove is formed. On the figure 2 , the opening 8 is defined in a corner of this rectangle. For this purpose, the connecting zone 4 opens at two points of the outer periphery of the rectangle, on either side of this corner, defining between these two points the opening 8. In this case, a first point opens at the an edge 50, and the second point at a second edge 51 adjacent to the first edge 50, the two edges 50 and 51 being here presented orthogonal.

Dans le cas, où le dispositif 1 comporte deux bandes souples 12 et 14 prolongeant respectivement les feuilles 2 et 3 au-delà de la zone de liaison 4, de préférence, la deuxième bande souple 14 présente également des franges telles que celles de la bandes 12. Les franges 17 des deux bandes 12 et 14 sont de préférence découpées simultanément.In the case where the device 1 comprises two flexible strips 12 and 14 respectively extending the sheets 2 and 3 beyond the connecting zone 4, preferably, the second flexible strip 14 also has fringes such as those of the strips. 12. The fringes 17 of the two strips 12 and 14 are preferably cut simultaneously.

Les franges peuvent elles-mêmes être découpées de manière à présenter au moins deux volants 28 et 28'. Ces volants sont réalisés selon des axes de découpes intermédiaires 29. Par exemple, la frange 18 comporte au moins un axe de découpe intermédiaire 29 définissant ainsi les au moins deux volants 28 et 28'. Sur la Figure 2, la frange 18 présente sept volants tels que 28 et 28' séparés par six découpes intermédiaires telles que 29. Les axes de chacune de ces découpes intermédiaires 29 sont sécants avec la zone de liaison 4. Par exemple, chaque volant comporte un bord représenté par une portion de la zone de liaison 4. Dans une variante, les volants peuvent être découpés selon des axes parallèles entres eux, au quel cas, tous les volants ne comportent pas un bord formé par la zone de liaison 4.The fringes may themselves be cut so as to have at least two flywheels 28 and 28 '. These flywheels are made according to intermediate cutout axes 29. For example, the fringe 18 comprises at least one intermediate cutting axis 29 thus defining the at least two flywheels 28 and 28 '. On the Figure 2 , the fringe 18 has seven flywheels such as 28 and 28 'separated by six intermediate cuts such as 29. The axes of each of these intermediate cuts 29 are intersecting with the connecting zone 4. For example, each flywheel has an edge represented by a portion of the connecting zone 4. Alternatively, the flywheels may be cut along axes parallel to each other, in which case, all the flywheels do not comprise an edge formed by the connecting zone 4.

De préférence, on définit un axe longitudinal 30 d'une frange qui correspond sensiblement à un axe d'allongement principal d'une excroissance 16, c'est à dire à un axe d'insertion du doigt dans l'excroissance. La zone de liaison 4 présente des portions de liaison recourbées de part et d'autre de cet axe longitudinal 30. Les axes de découpes intermédiaires 29 sont alors sécants avec cet axe longitudinal 30.Preferably, a longitudinal axis 30 of a fringe is defined which substantially corresponds to a main axis of elongation of an outgrowth 16, that is to say to an axis of insertion of the finger into the outgrowth. The connecting zone 4 has bent connecting portions on either side of this longitudinal axis 30. The intermediate cutting axes 29 are then intersecting with this longitudinal axis 30.

La présence des franges et des volants permet d'augmenter la surface du gant, et notamment d'utiliser pleinement tout le matériau inclus dans la surface, ici de forme rectangle à l'intérieur de laquelle est défini ce gant. Comme représentés figures 3, les franges et volants augmentent sensiblement les contacts avec la surface capillaire et améliorent de plus la friction du cuir chevelu. Les doigts séparent la masse capillaire en plusieurs mèches, ces mèches étant alors indistinctement pénétrées par les différents volants et franges.The presence of the fringes and ruffles makes it possible to increase the surface of the glove, and in particular to make full use of all the material included in the surface, here of rectangle shape within which this glove is defined. As represented figures 3 , the fringes and ruffles substantially increase the contact with the capillary surface and further improve the friction of the scalp. The fingers separate the hair mass into several locks, these locks being then indistinctly penetrated by the different ruffles and fringes.

Le procédé de fabrication du dispositif 1 se fait en plusieurs étapes. Dans une première étape, on assemble les deux feuilles 2 et 3 entre elles.The manufacturing process of the device 1 is done in several steps. In a first step, the two sheets 2 and 3 are assembled together.

Dans le cas d'un procédé en continu de fabrication de plusieurs dispositifs tels que 1, ces feuilles 2 et 3 se définissent à l'intérieur d'au moins une nappe d'un matériau en bande continue.In the case of a continuous manufacturing process of several devices such as 1, these sheets 2 and 3 are defined inside at least one web of a continuous strip material.

Selon la Figure 4, la feuille 2 est présentée sur une première nappe 31, stockée sous la forme d'un rouleau 32, et la deuxième feuille 3 est présentée sur une deuxième nappe 33, stockée sous la forme d'un deuxième rouleau 34. Dans ce cas, les rouleaux, 32 et 34 sont déroulés simultanément de manière à présenter les deux nappes 31 et 33 en vis-à-vis l'une de l'autre. Le déroulement des rouleaux se fait selon la flèche 35, soit de gauche à droite sur les Figures 4 et 5.According to Figure 4 , the sheet 2 is presented on a first sheet 31, stored in the form of a roll 32, and the second sheet 3 is presented on a second sheet 33, stored in the form of a second roll 34. In this case, the rollers 32 and 34 are unwound simultaneously so as to present the two plies 31 and 33 vis-à-vis one another. The unwinding of the rollers is done according to the arrow 35, from left to right on the Figures 4 and 5 .

Dans une variante du procédé de fabrication en continu, on dispose d'un unique rouleau tel que lorsqu'on le déroule, la nappe de matériau en bande continue correspondante a une largeur lui permettant d'être repliée sur elle-même et de présenter ainsi deux plis, ou portions de bande, permettant de présenter chacune respectivement les deux feuilles 2 et 3 en vis-à-vis l'une de l'autre. La nappe est repliée autour de son axe longitudinal, par exemple selon son axe d'allongement principal lorsqu'elle est progressivement déroulée.In a variant of the continuous manufacturing method, there is a single roll such that when unrolled, the sheet of corresponding continuous web material has a width allowing it to be folded back on itself and thus to present two folds, or portions of strip, for presenting each respectively the two sheets 2 and 3 vis-à-vis one another. The sheet is folded around its longitudinal axis, for example along its main axis of elongation when it is progressively unwound.

Au cours, d'une deuxième étape A, on relie les deux feuilles 2 et 3 entre elles, au moins au niveau d'une zone de liaison 4. La liaison est par exemple assurée par collage, ou par soudure, par exemple une soudure thermique ou ultrasonique.During a second step A, the two sheets 2 and 3 are connected together, at least at a connecting zone 4. The bond is for example provided by gluing, or by welding, for example a weld thermal or ultrasonic.

La (les) nappe(s) est (sont) convoyée(s) par un dispositif mécanique assurant le déroulement du (des) rouleau(x). Lorsque la nappe est déroulée, elle est convoyée sous un appareil permettant de réaliser cette liaison. L'appareil réalise à intervalle régulier le motif de la zone de liaison sur la nappe qui défile sous lui. On obtient ainsi une bande présentant plusieurs lignes de liaison permettant ensuite de créer plusieurs dispositifs tels que 1. La régularité avec laquelle le motif de la zone de liaison est réalisé est de préférence définie en fonction de la vitesse de défilement de la nappe.The (the) sheet (s) is (are) conveyed (s) by a mechanical device ensuring the unwinding of (the) roller (x). When the sheet is unrolled, it is conveyed under a device for making this connection. The apparatus performs at regular intervals the pattern of the bonding zone on the sheet that runs under it. A strip having several connecting lines is thus obtained, which then makes it possible to create several devices such as 1. The regularity with which the pattern of the connection zone is produced is preferably defined by function of the speed of scrolling of the tablecloth.

Par exemple, la zone de liaison est réalisée jusqu'à un bord libre de la nappe, ce bord libre étant défini parallèlement à -l'axe longitudinal de la nappe. Le bord libre de la nappe est donc celui qui formera par exemple le futur deuxième bord 51.For example, the connection zone is made up to a free edge of the web, this free edge being defined parallel to the longitudinal axis of the web. The free edge of the web is therefore the one that will form, for example, the future second edge 51.

Ensuite, la feuille, ou le cas échéant la portion de nappe, comportant la zone de liaison 4 fait ensuite l'objet d'une découpe au cours d'une troisième étape B. Cette découpe permet notamment de former les découpes telles que 17 et également les découpes intermédiaires telles que 29. Figure 5, la nappe 31 vue de dessus présente alors le motif de la zone de liaison et aussi celui des découpes telles que 17 et 29.Then, the sheet, or possibly the portion of web, comprising the connecting zone 4 is then cut in a third step B. This cutout allows in particular to form the cuts such as 17 and also intermediate cuts such as 29. Figure 5 , the web 31 seen from above then has the pattern of the connecting zone and also that of the cuts such as 17 and 29.

Les découpes prévues au cours de cette troisième étape B sont par exemple réalisées à l'emporte pièce. Par exemple, on prévoit, pour la découpe, un cylindre présentant sur son pourtour extérieur des lames positionnées selon le motif des découpes à inscrire dans la nappe qui défile sous lui. Dans la mesure où la position de ces découpes doit être calée par rapport à la zone de liaison 4, on règle également la vitesse de rotation du cylindre à lames en fonction de la vitesse de défilement de la nappe, de telle sorte que les découpes viennent quasiment jusqu'à la zone de liaison 4.The cutouts provided during this third step B are for example carried out with a punch. For example, it is provided, for cutting, a cylinder having on its outer periphery blades positioned according to the pattern of cuts to be inscribed in the sheet that runs under it. Insofar as the position of these cuts must be wedged relative to the connection zone 4, the speed of rotation of the blade cylinder is also adjusted as a function of the speed of travel of the web, so that the cuts come from almost to link zone 4.

Dans une variante non représentée, pour faciliter le convoyage des nappes, on découpe les motifs de manière à ce qu'ils ne soient pas encore dissociables du reste de la nappe. La nappe même découpée reste alors de présentation plane sans morceaux risquant de dépasser du plan formé par cette nappe. Les découpes forment alors uniquement des entailles dans la nappe, mais pas des lambeaux, dans la mesure où aucune découpe n'est, dans cette variante, réalisée jusqu'à un bord de la nappe.In a variant not shown, to facilitate the conveyance of the webs, the patterns are cut so that they are not yet dissociable from the rest of the web. The same cut sheet remains flat presentation without pieces likely to exceed the plane formed by the tablecloth. The cuts then form only notches in the sheet, but not flaps, insofar as no cut is, in this variant, made to an edge of the sheet.

Enfin, au cours d'une dernière étape E, on sépare la portion à l'intérieur de laquelle sont inscrites la zone de liaison 4 et les découpes 17 et 29 du reste des nappes. Cette dernière étape permet par exemple de dissocier un rectangle 36 du reste de la nappe par passage sous un rouleau de découpe. Cette dernière étape prévoit une découpe définissant notamment les bordures 20 du rectangle 36, et en particulier le premier bord 50. Si ce n'est pas déjà le cas, le rectangle 36 est découpé de telle sorte que la zone de liaison 4 débouche en deux points de cette bordure 20, de manière à ménager une ouverture 8 entre ces deux points. Par ailleurs, on prévoit que la zone de liaison 4 est continue à l'intérieur du rectangle 36 pour permettre de déterminer le pourtour intérieur d'un gant.Finally, during a last step E, the portion within which are inscribed the connecting zone 4 and the cutouts 17 and 29 of the rest of the layers are separated. This last step makes it possible, for example, to separate a rectangle 36 from the rest of the sheet by passing under a cutting roll. This last step provides a cut defining in particular the borders 20 of the rectangle 36, and in particular the first edge 50. If this is not already the case, the rectangle 36 is cut so that the connecting zone 4 opens in two. points of this border 20, so as to provide an opening 8 between these two points. Furthermore, it is expected that the connecting zone 4 is continuous within the rectangle 36 to allow to determine the inner periphery of a glove.

Dans une variante, on peut prévoir une étape d'imprégnation C éventuellement suivie d'une étape de séchage D, toutes deux préliminaires à la dernière étape E. Les étapes C et D peuvent être réalisées au moins sur une portion de l'une des deux feuilles.In a variant, it is possible to provide an impregnation step C possibly followed by a drying step D, both of which are preliminary to the last step E. The steps C and D can be carried out at least on a portion of one of the two leaves.

Dans le cas du procédé en continu, on convoie au moins une partie d'un des deux nappes reliées et découpées dans un bain 37 rempli d'une solution cosmétique. Selon le conditionnement souhaité, dans cette variante, on peut également prévoir une étape de séchage D, après l'immersion dans le bain 37, ce séchage ayant lieu avant la dernière étape E de séparation du rectangle 36 du reste des nappes.In the case of the continuous process, at least a portion of one of the two sheets connected and cut in a bath 37 filled with a cosmetic solution is conveyed. According to the desired packaging, in this variant, it is also possible to provide a drying step D after immersion in the bath 37, this drying taking place before the last step E of separating the rectangle 36 from the rest of the plies.

Dans la mesure où les nappes sont déroulées en continu, on peut prévoir de réaliser simultanément plusieurs dispositifs tels que 1 dans une même nappe, en fonction de la largeur de la nappe. De même plusieurs dispositifs tels que 1 peuvent être réalisés successivement dans une même nappe en fonction de la longueur de la nappe.Insofar as the sheets are unwound continuously, it is possible to provide several devices simultaneously such as 1 in the same sheet, depending on the width of the sheet. Similarly, several devices such as 1 can be made successively in the same sheet according to the length of the sheet.
