Le récipient comprend généralement un corps, le corps comprenant des parois délimitant un réservoir dans lequel est contenu le produit cosmétique, et un goulot définissant une ouverture par laquelle le produit cosmétique peut être extrait.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.

L'ensemble applicateur comprend généralement un bouchon adapté pour être fixé sur le goulot, une tige s'étendant à partir du bouchon et un applicateur fixé à une extrémité libre de la tige. L'applicateur comprend une âme et une pluralité de protubérances s'étendant à partir de l'âme pour charger les cils en produit cosmétique et les peigner.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 extending from the core for loading the eyelashes into a cosmetic product and combing them.

Lorsque le bouchon est fixé sur le goulot, la tige et l'applicateur s'étendent à l'intérieur du réservoir. L'applicateur est immergé dans le produit cosmétique contenu dans le réservoir.When the cap is fixed on the neck, the rod and the applicator extend inside the tank. The applicator is immersed in the cosmetic product contained in the reservoir.

Pour utiliser l'applicateur, l'utilisateur détache le bouchon du goulot et extrait l'applicateur du récipient.To use the applicator, the user detaches the neck cap and extracts the applicator from the container.

Pour éviter que l'applicateur ne soit trop chargé en produit cosmétique, le récipient comprend généralement un essoreur, fixé à l'intérieur du goulot. Lorsque l'utilisateur extrait l'applicateur du récipient, l'applicateur coulisse à l'intérieur de l'essoreur. L'essoreur racle le produit cosmétique en excès sur la tige et sur l'applicateur.To prevent the applicator from being overloaded with cosmetic product, the container generally comprises a wiper, fixed inside the neck. When the user extracts the applicator from the container, the applicator slides inside the wiper. The wiper scrapes the cosmetic product in excess on the stem and the applicator.

Le document EP2 084 987 divulgue un exemple d'applicateur pour produit cosmétique, appartenant à l'Art Antérieur de l'invention. La présente invention vise à résoudre le problème suivant : proposer un applicateur qui permet de charger les cils de façon satisfaisante tout en les peignant.The document EP2 084 987 discloses an example of an applicator for a cosmetic product, belonging to the prior art of the invention.

Other materials may still be used, namely the "EXACT" material of ExxonMobil or the "HYTREL" material of Dupont, or a mixture of these materials.

Alternativement les protubérances 31, 32 sont surmoulées sur l'âme 12, en particulier dans le but de faire varier les couleurs des éléments composant ledit applicateur 10.Alternatively, the protuberances 31, 32 are overmolded on the core 12, in particular for the purpose of varying the colors of the elements composing said applicator 10.

Comme cela est visible sur la figure 1, l'âme 12 présente une extrémité proximale 13 et une extrémité distale 16. L'extrémité proximale 13 est apte à être fixée à une tige d'applicateur (non représentée) par un manchon 14 prolongeant ladite âme 12. Le manchon 14 ne comporte pas de protubérances.As is visible on the figure 1 , the core 12 has a proximal end 13 and a distal end 16. The proximal end 13 is adapted to be fixed to an applicator rod (not shown) by a sleeve 14 extending said core 12. The sleeve 14 does not include no protuberances.

Il est à noter que l'âme 12 présente une section transversale de type de forme constante, à savoir polygonale. Plus précisément, la section transversale de l'âme 12 présente une forme de polygone aux côtés rectilignes, de préférence à six côtés. Préférentiellement, le type de forme et/ou l'orientation angulaire de ladite section transversale de l'âme 12 est sensiblement constante, de son extrémité proximale 13 à son extrémité distale 16. On entend par là, que même si la section transversale de l'âme 12 pourra présenter une surface de dimension variable le long de l'âme 12, elle garde le même type de contour et/ou la même orientation angulaire. Ladite section transversales est, par exemple, hexagonale et sans décalage angulaire de ladite extrémité distale 16 à ladite extrémité proximale 13.It should be noted that the core 12 has a cross section of constant shape type, namely polygonal. More specifically, the cross section of the core 12 has a polygonal shape with straight sides, preferably six sides. Preferably, the type of shape and / or the angular orientation of said transverse section of the core 12 is substantially constant, from its proximal end 13 to its distal end 16. This means that even if the cross section of the core 12 may have a surface of variable dimension along the core 12, it keeps the same type of contour and / or the same angular orientation. Said cross section is, for example, hexagonal and without angular offset from said distal end 16 to said proximal end 13.

Comme cela est illustré sur les figures 1 et 2, et selon l'invention, les protubérances 31, 32 sont réparties le long de ladite âme 12 sur une partie substantielle de sa longueur à partir de l'extrémité distale 16. De plus, les protubérances 31, 32 sont réparties sur toute la périphérie radiale de l'âme 12.As illustrated on the figures 1 and 2 and according to the invention, the protuberances 31, 32 are distributed along said core 12 over a substantial part of its length from the distal end 16. In addition, the protuberances 31, 32 are distributed over the entire periphery radial of the soul 12.

Alternativement, les protubérances sont réparties sur une partie discrète de la périphérie radiale de l'âme 12 (exemple de réalisation non illustré) afin d'obtenir des effets de maquillage supplémentaires, et/ou complémentaires à ceux qui sont décrits ici.Alternatively, the protuberances are distributed over a discrete portion of the radial periphery of the core 12 (embodiment not shown) to obtain additional makeup effects, and / or complementary to those described herein.

Dans la suite, on entendra par rangée radiale de protubérances 31, 32 une rangée de protubérances 31, 32 disposées autour de l'âme 12, dans un même plan orthogonal à l'axe d'extension X, ledit plan coupant l'âme 12 selon une section qui est ici sensiblement circulaire.In the following, a radial row of protuberances 31, 32 will be understood to mean a row of protuberances 31, 32 arranged around the core 12, in the same plane orthogonal to the axis of extension X, said plane cutting the core 12 according to a section which is here substantially circular.

L'applicateur 10 est essoré lors de son extraction du réservoir par un essoreur disposé à l'intérieur de celui-ci.The applicator 10 is dewatered during its extraction from the reservoir by a wiper disposed inside thereof.

Selon l'invention, les protubérances 31, 32 sont d'au moins deux types différents.According to the invention, the protuberances 31, 32 are of at least two different types.

Un premier type de protubérances 31 se présente sous la forme de plateaux 31 (voir figure 1). Chaque plateau 31 occupe ici une portion angulaire de l'âme 12. Autrement dit, lesdits plateaux 31 s'étendent chacun à partir d'un côté de l'âme 12 ; ils s'étendent avantageusement le long de la totalité dudit côté. Les plateaux 31 présentent donc une base large et vont en s'affinant vers leur extrémité libre. Etant donné que les plateaux 31 forment au moins une rangée radiale telle que définie ci-dessus, et considérant que l'âme 12 est polygonale, les plateaux 31 forment des interstices angulaires entre eux. Lesdits interstices sont, de plus, configurés pour retenir le produit cosmétique lorsque l'applicateur est extrait de son récipient et qu'il est raclé par l'essoreur. Autrement dit, les interstices, qui présentent une forme sensiblement concave, arrondie ou non, servent de réservoir à produit cosmétique. Cela permet donc de proposer un applicateur 10 qui offre une forte capacité chargeante en produit cosmétique.A first type of protuberances 31 is in the form of trays 31 (see figure 1 ). Each plate 31 here occupies an angular portion of the core 12. In other words, said plates 31 each extend from one side of the core 12; they extend advantageously along the entire said side. The trays 31 thus have a wide base and are refined towards their free end. Since the plates 31 form at least one radial row as defined above, and considering that the core 12 is polygonal, the plates 31 form angular interstices between them. Said interstices are further configured to retain the cosmetic product when the applicator is removed from its container and is scraped by the wiper. In other words, the interstices, which have a substantially concave shape, rounded or not, serve as a reservoir for cosmetic product. This therefore makes it possible to propose an applicator 10 which offers a strong loading capacity in cosmetic product.

Il est à noter, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, que les plateaux 31 sont de forme sensiblement triangulaire et présentent, de préférence, une extrémité libre arrondie.It should be noted, by way of non-limiting example, that the trays 31 are substantially triangular in shape and preferably have a rounded free end.

D'autre part, l'applicateur 10 selon l'invention comprend un second type de protubérances 32 qui se présentent sous la forme de dents 32. Ces dents 32 ont une section de forme demi-circulaire et présentent, chacune, une surface plane. Elles sont positionnées de sorte que deux dents 32 adjacentes, d'une même rangée axiale, sont disposées en quinconce, leur surface plane étant orientée chacune selon un sens giratoire opposé, par exemple de part et d'autre d'une même arête axiale de l'âme. Lesdites dents 32 sont prévues rectilignes, et s'étendent, chacune, selon une normale à l'axe de l'âme 12. Lesdites dents 32 confèrent, à l'applicateur 10 de l'invention, une capacité à peigner les cils en complément de l'effet obtenu par les rangées radiales de plateaux 31.On the other hand, the applicator 10 according to the invention comprises a second type of protuberances 32 which are in the form of teeth 32. These teeth 32 have a half-circular section and each have a flat surface. They are positioned so that two adjacent teeth 32, of the same axial row, are arranged in staggered rows, their planar surface being each oriented in an opposite direction of rotation, for example on either side of the same axial edge of blade. Said teeth 32 are provided rectilinear, and each extend in a normal to the axis of the core 12. Said teeth 32 confer, to the applicator 10 of the invention, a capacity to comb the eyelashes in addition the effect obtained by the radial rows of trays 31.

Ainsi, selon l'invention, et comme cela est visible sur les figures 2 et 3, lesdits premier et second type de protubérances 31, 32 se succèdent le long de l'axe d'extension X de l'âme 12. Ici, les rangées radiales de plateaux 31 succèdent aux rangées radiales de dents 32 le long de l'axe d'extension X de l'âme 12. Pour rappel, l'avantage associé réside dans la possibilité de charger les cils de l'utilisateur en produit cosmétique grâce aux plateaux 31, tout en les peignant, grâce aux dents 32, et ceci tout le long de l'applicateur de l'invention car la succession des deux types de protubérances 31, 32 se fait axialement.Thus, according to the invention, and as is visible on the figures 2 and 3 , said first and second type of protuberances 31, 32 succeed one another along the axis of extension X of the core 12. Here, the radial rows of trays 31 succeed to the radial rows of teeth 32 along the axis X extension of the soul 12. As a reminder, the associated advantage lies in the ability to load the eyelashes of the user in cosmetic product through the trays 31, while painting them, thanks to the teeth 32, and this all along the applicator of the invention because the succession of the two types of protuberances 31, 32 is axially.

D'autre part, les rangées radiales de plateaux 31 et les rangées radiales de dents 32 forment des zones, appelées respectivement zone de premier type Z1 et zone de second type Z2, qui se succèdent axialement de l'extrémité proximale 13 à l'extrémité distale 16 (voir figures 2 et 3).On the other hand, the radial rows of trays 31 and the radial rows of teeth 32 form zones, respectively called zone of first type Z1 and zone of second type Z2, which follow one another axially from proximal end 13 to the end. distal 16 (see figures 2 and 3 ).

Il a été constaté, en outre, que les plateaux 31 présentent une capacité à fléchir qui est moindre que la capacité à fléchir des dents 32, en particulier dans le sens axial.It has been found, moreover, that the trays 31 have an ability to flex which is less than the ability to bend teeth 32, especially in the axial direction.

Par conséquent les rangées radiales de plateaux 31 présentent une résistance plus élevée lorsqu'elles passent à travers l'essoreur (non représenté ici) que lorsque les rangées radiales de dents 32 y passent. Autrement dit, les rangées radiales de plateaux 31, lorsqu'elles arrivent au niveau de l'essoreur, bloquent et conduisent à un retrait par à-coups de l'applicateur hors de son récipient.As a result, the radial rows of trays 31 have a higher resistance as they pass through the wiper (not shown here) than when the radial rows of teeth 32 pass therethrough. In other words, the radial rows of trays 31, when they reach the level of the wiper, block and lead to a jerky withdrawal of the applicator from its container.

Pour s'affranchir de ce désavantage, on pourra donner de la flexibilité au niveau des rangées radiales de plateaux 31, en particulier en faisant varier les dimensions de la section de l'âme 12. Autrement dit, l'âme 12 présente, selon l'invention, au moins deux sections transversales S1, S2 par rapport à l'axe d'extension X, lesdites deux sections ayant des dimensions différentes (voir figure 3). Ainsi, l'âme 12 présente une section transversale par rapport à l'axe d'extension X, dite première section S1 dans les zones de premier type Z1, et une seconde section S2 dans les zones de second type Z2, les dimensions de la première section S1 étant inférieures à celles des secondes sections S2. Selon l'invention les dimensions de la première section S1 sont inférieures à celles des secondes sections S2 qui lui sont directement adjacentes (voir figure 3).To overcome this disadvantage, it will be possible to give flexibility in the radial rows of trays 31, in particular by varying the dimensions of the section of the core 12. In other words, the core 12 has, according to invention, at least two transverse sections S1, S2 with respect to the axis of extension X, said two sections having different dimensions (see figure 3 ). Thus, the core 12 has a cross-section with respect to the extension axis X, said first section S1 in the zones of the first type Z1, and a second section S2 in the zones of the second type Z2, the dimensions of the first section S1 being lower than those of the second sections S2. According to the invention the dimensions of the first section S1 are smaller than those of the second sections S2 which are directly adjacent thereto (see figure 3 ).

Préférentiellement, lesdites sections S1, S2 respectent la formule suivante : 0,7 ≤ S1/ S2 ≤ 0,9. A titre d'exemple, la section S1 est inscrite dans un cercle de diamètre sensiblement égale à 2mm et la section S2 dans un cercle de diamètre sensiblement égale à 2,5mm.Preferably, said sections S1, S2 respect the following formula: 0.7 ≤ S 1 / S 2 ≤ 0.9. For example, the section S1 is inscribed in a circle of diameter substantially equal to 2 mm and the section S2 in a circle of diameter substantially equal to 2.5 mm.

Ainsi, l'âme 12 de l'applicateur 10 de l'invention est affinée à l'endroit des rangées radiales de plateaux 31 pour leur conférer une capacité de flexion accrue en comparaison aux zones Z2 portant les rangées radiales de dents 32. On remarque, sur les figures 2 et 3, que l'âme 12 est affinée à l'endroit des rangées radiales des plateaux 31, mais aussi à leur voisinage, sur une distance axiale de quelques dixième de millimètres, par exemple sur une distance axiale de 0,3mm.Thus, the core 12 of the applicator 10 of the invention is refined at the location of the radial rows of trays 31 to give them an increased flexural capacity in comparison with the zones Z2 carrying the radial rows of teeth 32. , on the figures 2 and 3 that the core 12 is refined at the location of the radial rows of the plates 31, but also in their vicinity, over an axial distance of a few tenth of a millimeter, for example over an axial distance of 0.3mm.

Il est à noter que les plateaux 31, comme les dents 32 s'étendent chacun selon une normale à l'axe de l'âme 12.It should be noted that the plates 31, like the teeth 32 each extend in a normal to the axis of the core 12.

Les zones de premier Z1 et/ou de second type Z2 comprennent au moins deux rangées radiales de protubérances 31, 32 qui se succèdent le long de l'axe d'extension X. En particulier x rangées radiales de plateaux 31 alternent, le long de l'axe d'extension X, avec y rangées radiales de dents 32, x et y respectant la formule 1 ≤ x,y ≤ 6. Dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré ici, sans que cela ne soit limitatif, 2 rangées radiales de plateaux 31 alternent systématiquement et successivement, le long de l'axe d'extension, avec 4 rangées radiales de dents 31.The zones of first Z1 and / or second type Z2 comprise at least two radial rows of protuberances 31, 32 which follow each other along the axis of extension X. In particular x radial rows of plates 31 alternate, along the axis of extension X, with y radial rows of teeth 32, x and y respecting the formula 1 ≤ x , y ≤ 6 . In the exemplary embodiment illustrated here, without this being limiting, two radial rows of plates 31 systematically and successively alternate, along the extension axis, with four radial rows of teeth 31.

Prévoir des rangées radiales de plateaux sous forme de paires, c'est-à-dire deux rangées radiales de plateaux sans rangée radiale de dents intercalée, présente l'avantage d'améliorer encore le pouvoir chargeant de la brosse. La zone située entre chaque plateau d'une même paire sera en effet protégée par le plateau supérieur, c'est-à-dire le plateau essoré en premier lorsque l'utilisateur sort l'applicateur du réservoir, au moment où ladite zone passe à travers l'essoreur.Providing radial rows of trays in the form of pairs, that is to say two radial rows of trays without radial row of teeth interposed, has the advantage of further improving the charging power of the brush. The zone located between each plate of the same pair will indeed be protected by the upper plate, that is to say the tray wrung first when the user leaves the applicator of the tank, at the moment when said zone passes to through the wringer.

Les dents de deux rangées radiales successives de dents sont ici tangentes l'une inférieurement et l'autre supérieurement à un même plan transversal à l'âme.The teeth of two successive radial rows of teeth are here tangent one below and the other higher than the same plane transverse to the soul.

Il est à noter, encore, que l'âme est pleine. Elle pourra toutefois être creuse sans que cela ne sorte du cadre de l'invention.It is worth noting, again, that the soul is full. It may, however, be hollow without this outside the scope of the invention.

Pour rappel, l'invention concerne aussi un ensemble applicateur pour produit cosmétique, comprenant un récipient (non représenté) comprenant un corps formant un réservoir contenant le produit cosmétique, et un applicateur 10 tel que précédemment décrit, adapté pour être fixé sur le récipient, de sorte que l'applicateur est logé à l'intérieur du réservoir. Ledit applicateur 10 est fixé, par exemple, à l'extrémité d'une tige, elle-même fixée à un bouchon (non représenté) avantageusement vissé au récipient. Après montage, le manchon 14 est situé dans la tige et l'extrémité proximale 13 de l'âme forme l'extrémité proximale visible de l'applicateur.As a reminder, the invention also relates to an applicator assembly for a cosmetic product, comprising a container (not shown) comprising a body forming a reservoir containing the cosmetic product, and an applicator 10 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 plug (not shown) advantageously screwed to the container. After assembly, the sleeve 14 is located in the rod and the proximal end 13 of the core forms the visible proximal end of the applicator.

D'autre part, les protubérances 31, 32 forment une enveloppe E, en particulier définie par leur périphérie (voir figure 2). Ladite enveloppe E présente une forme sensiblement tronconique, notamment entre lesdites extrémités proximale 13 et distale 16. Le tronc de cône formé par ladite enveloppe E présente, par exemple, une section circulaire au voisinage de l'extrémité proximale 13 ayant un diamètre compris entre 6,5mm et 9,5mm, en particulier sensiblement égal à 8mm et une section circulaire, au voisinage de l'extrémité distale 16, dont le diamètre est compris entre 3,5mm et 5,5mm, en particulier sensiblement égal à 4,5mm. La forme tronconique de l'enveloppe E présente l'avantage de faciliter le passage de l'applicateur 10 à travers l'essoreur, lors de sa réinsertion dans le récipient, en particulier après utilisation.On the other hand, the protuberances 31, 32 form an envelope E, in particular defined by their periphery (see figure 2 ). Said envelope E has a substantially frustoconical shape, especially between said proximal ends 13 and distal 16. The truncated cone formed by said envelope E has, for example, a circular section in the vicinity of the proximal end 13 having a diameter between 6.5mm and 9.5mm, in particular substantially equal to 8mm and a circular section, in the vicinity of the distal end 16, whose diameter is between 3.5mm and 5.5mm, in particular substantially equal to 4.5mm. The frustoconical shape of the envelope E has the advantage of facilitating the passage of the applicator 10 through the wiper, during its reinsertion into the container, in particular after use.

Il est aussi à noter que l'applicateur 10 forme une brosse, notamment une brosse mascara.It should also be noted that the applicator 10 forms a brush, in particular a mascara brush.

Il est aussi à noter que des variantes de réalisation sont bien sûr possibles. Notamment, dans un exemple de réalisation supplémentaire, l'âme est courbe, de son extrémité proximale à son extrémité distale.It should also be noted that variant embodiments are of course possible. In particular, in a further embodiment, the core is curved, from its proximal end to its distal end.
