Description

L'invention concerne un ensemble applicateur pour la mise en place et le maintien d'un essoreur dans une flaconnette sans goulot, la flaconnette étant destinée à contenir un produit cosmétique. Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne un ensemble applicateur pour essoreur souple. L'invention concerne également un ensemble applicateur comprenant, outre la flaconnette sans goulot et l'essoreur, un capot et un applicateur dudit produit cosmétique.The invention relates to an applicator assembly for setting up and maintaining a wiper in a bottle without a neck, the bottle being intended to contain a cosmetic product. More particularly, the invention relates to an applicator assembly for a flexible wringer. The invention also relates to an applicator assembly comprising, in addition to the bottle without a neck and the wiper, a cover and an applicator of said cosmetic product.

On connait des ensembles applicateurs pour produit cosmétique comprenant un applicateur adapté pour être fixé de manière amovible sur une flaconnette contenant le produit cosmétique.Cosmetic product applicator assemblies are known comprising an applicator adapted to be removably attached to a bottle containing the cosmetic product.

Ladite flaconnette comprend généralement un capot et un corps.Said bottle usually comprises a hood and a body.

Le capot est adapté pour être fixé au corps de la flaconnette de façon à assurer une fermeture étanche d'un réservoir de produit cosmétique situé à l'intérieur du corps de la flaconnette.The cap is adapted to be fixed to the body of the bottle so as to ensure a tight closure of a cosmetic product reservoir located inside the body of the bottle.

Le corps, quant à lui, comprend généralement deux zones : une zone de fond et une zone de col.The body, on the other hand, generally comprises two zones: a bottom zone and a neck zone.

La zone de fond présente des parois délimitant un réservoir dans lequel est contenu le produit cosmétique. Le corps est fermé au niveau d'une première extrémité, dite extrémité distale, par une paroi de fond, et ouvert au niveau d'une deuxième extrémité, dite extrémité proximale, opposée à la première extrémité. Le corps comprend en outre une paroi latérale située entre les extrémités distale et proximale de façon à délimiter complètement le réservoir.The bottom zone has walls defining a reservoir in which the cosmetic product is contained. The body is closed at a first end, said distal end, by a bottom wall, and open at a second end, said proximal end, opposite the first end. The body further includes a sidewall located between the distal and proximal ends to completely define the reservoir.

La zone de col définit une ouverture par laquelle le produit cosmétique peut être extrait. Ladite ouverture du corps de la flaconnette se situe au niveau de la zone de col et donc au voisinage de l'extrémité proximale. Cette zone présente généralement des moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture, ces moyens étant adaptés pour pouvoir collaborer avec des moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture complémentaires situés au niveau du capot, afin de fixer et fermer le capot de façon étanche sur le corps de la flaconnette. Lorsque la zone de col présente des dimensions de section transversale plus petites que celles de la section transversale de la zone de fond du corps de la flaconnette, on parle alors d'un goulot de flaconnette. Autrement dit, il y a présence d'un goulot, lorsque la zone de col présente un rétrécissement de ses dimensions par rapport aux dimensions de la zone de fond.The neck area defines an opening through which the cosmetic product can be extracted. Said opening of the body of the bottle is located at the neck area and therefore in the vicinity of the proximal end. This zone generally has opening and closing means, these means being adapted to be able to collaborate with complementary opening and closing means located at the hood, in order to fix and close the hood in a sealed manner on the body of the hood. the bottle. When the neck area has smaller cross-sectional dimensions than the cross-sectional area of the bottom area of the vial body, it is referred to as a vial neck. In other words, there is a bottleneck when the neck area has a narrowing of its dimensions compared to the dimensions of the bottom area.

Pour éviter que l'applicateur ne soit trop chargé en produit cosmétique, la flaconnette comprend en outre un essoreur, rigide ou souple, fixé au niveau du goulot et s'étendant vers l'intérieur du réservoir. Lorsque l'utilisateur insère et/ou extrait l'applicateur du réservoir, l'applicateur coulisse à l'intérieur de l'essoreur. Ainsi, l'essoreur racle le produit cosmétique en excès sur la tige et sur l'embout applicateur. L'essoreur permet donc de régler la quantité de produit présent sur l'embout applicateur et évite une application excessive de produit cosmétique sur la surface d'application.To prevent the applicator from being overloaded with cosmetics, the bottle further comprises a wiper, rigid or flexible, fixed at the neck and extending towards the inside of the reservoir. When the user inserts and / or extracts the applicator from the reservoir, the applicator slides inside the wiper. Thus, the wiper scrapes the cosmetic product in excess on the rod and on the applicator tip. The wiper thus makes it possible to adjust the amount of product present on the applicator tip and avoids excessive application of cosmetic product to the application surface.

Aujourd'hui les essoreurs et particulièrement les essoreurs souples sont tenus en place au niveau du goulot par différents moyens d'accroche situés de parts et d'autres au niveau du goulot, de l'essoreur et de la flaconnette elle-même.Today the wipers and particularly the soft wipers are held in place at the neck by different means of attachment located parts and others at the neck, the wiper and the bottle itself.

Or, il existe des flaconnettes dépourvues de goulot. Dans le cas de ces flaconnettes sans goulot, la mise en place et le maintien en place de l'essoreur au niveau de la zone de col s'avère difficile. En effet, l'absence d'un goulot éliminera plusieurs points d'accroche nécessaires à la mise en place et au maintien en position de l'essoreur au niveau de la zone de col de la flaconnette. L'absence de ces points d'accroche peut notamment amener l'essoreur à bouger et plus particulièrement à remonter dans la zone col de la flaconnette lors de l'extraction de l'applicateur de la flaconnette.However, there are bottles without a neck. In the case of these bottles without a neck, the establishment and maintenance in place of the wiper at the collar area proves difficult. Indeed, the absence of a neck will eliminate several points of attachment necessary for the establishment and maintenance in position of the wiper at the neck area of the bottle. The absence of these points of attachment can in particular cause the wiper to move and more particularly to go up in the neck area of the bottle during the extraction of the applicator of the bottle.

Un des objectifs de l'invention consiste donc à positionner et maintenir un essoreur en place dans une flaconnette dépourvue de goulot.One of the objectives of the invention is therefore to position and maintain a wiper in place in a bottle without a neck.

Ainsi l'invention concerne un ensemble applicateur pour produit cosmétique, apte à occuper deux positions, une position d'ouverture et une position de fermeture, ledit ensemble applicateur comprenant :

  • une flaconnette sans goulot, ladite flaconnette présentant un corps destiné à contenir le produit cosmétique, ledit corps s'étendant le long d'une direction principale d'extension longitudinale, dite direction principale, et présentant une première extrémité, dite extrémité distale et une deuxième extrémité opposée le long de la direction principale, dite extrémité proximale, ainsi qu'une paroi latérale située entre l'extrémité distale et l'extrémité proximale, ladite paroi latérale présentant une surface externe et une surface interne,
  • un essoreur présentant un orifice d'essorage, ledit essoreur étant destiné à racler le produit cosmétique en excès sur un applicateur via l'orifice d'essorage, lorsque l'ensemble applicateur passe de la position de fermeture à la position d'ouverture, ledit essoreur présentant une surface externe et une surface interne,
  • des moyens d'assemblage composés au moins d'un moyen de mise en position et au moins d'un moyen de maintien en position dudit essoreur avec la flaconnette, lesdits moyens d'assemblage étant destinés à coopérer, au niveau de l'extrémité proximale de la flaconnette, de façon à bloquer un mouvement de retrait de l'essoreur lors du passage de l'applicateur dans la flaconnette.
Thus, the invention relates to an applicator assembly for a cosmetic product, capable of occupying two positions, an open position and a closed position, said applicator assembly comprising:
  • a bottle without a neck, said bottle having a body for containing the cosmetic product, said body extending along a main longitudinal extension direction, said main direction, and having a first end, said distal end and a second opposite end along the main direction, said proximal end, and a side wall between the distal end and the proximal end, said side wall having an outer surface and an inner surface,
  • a wiper having a wiper orifice, said wiper being adapted to scrape the excess cosmetic product onto an applicator via the wiper orifice, when the applicator assembly moves from the closed position to the open position, said wiper having an outer surface and an inner surface,
  • assembly means comprising at least one position-setting means and at least one holding means in position of said wiper with the bottle, said assembly means being intended to cooperate at the proximal end of the bottle, so as to block a withdrawal movement of the wiper during the passage of the applicator in the bottle.

Selon l'invention, la surface interne de l'essoreur est conçue de manière à être en contact direct avec l'applicateur lorsque l'ensemble applicateur passe d'une position d'ouverture à une position de fermeture.According to the invention, the inner surface of the wiper is designed to be in direct contact with the applicator when the applicator assembly moves from an open position to a closed position.

L'ensemble applicateur selon l'invention, permet de positionner et de maintenir un essoreur, plus particulièrement un essoreur de type standard, sur une flaconnette dépourvue de goulot. Cela signifie qu'en dépit de l'absence d'un goulot sur les flaconnettes pour produit cosmétique, il est possible de positionner et de maintenir en place un essoreur standard, de façon à ce qu'il puisse tenir son rôle d'essoreur d'applicateur correctement, c'est-à-dire de racler l'excès de produit cosmétique présent sur l'applicateur au moment de son extraction du réservoir de la flaconnette, sans toutefois sortir de la flaconnette.The applicator assembly according to the invention makes it possible to position and maintain a wiper, more particularly a wiper of the standard type, on a bottle without a neck. This means that despite the absence of a neck on the bottles for cosmetic product, it is possible to position and maintain in place a standard wiper, so that it can take its role of wiper. applicator correctly, that is to say, scrape the excess cosmetic product present on the applicator at the time of its extraction from the tank of the bottle, without however leaving the bottle.

En effet, lorsqu'ils coopèrent avec l'extrémité proximale de la flaconnette, les moyens d'assemblage (autrement dit, les moyens d'accroche) situés sur l'essoreur, notamment le(les) moyen(s) de mise en position et le(les) moyen(s) de maintien en position dudit essoreur, permettent de positionner l'essoreur et de le maintenir en place dans une flaconnette dépourvue de goulot. Ainsi, l'invention permet, de bloquer un mouvement de retrait de l'essoreur lors du passage de l'applicateur dans la flaconnette.Indeed, when they cooperate with the proximal end of the bottle, the assembly means (in other words, the attachment means) located on the wiper, including the means (s) for positioning and the means (s) for holding in position said wiper, used to position the wiper and hold it in place in a bottle without neck. Thus, the invention makes it possible to block a withdrawal movement of the wiper during the passage of the applicator in the bottle.

Par l'expression « situés sur l'essoreur » on entend que les moyens d'assemblage, notamment le(les) moyen(s) de mise en position et le(les) moyen(s) de maintien en position dudit essoreur, font partis intégrante de l'essoreur. Autrement dit, lesdits moyens d'assemblage sont intégrés à la structure de l'essoreur lui-même et ne font qu'une pièce unique avec ledit essoreur. Encore autrement dit, les moyens d'assemblage sont issus de matière avec l'essoreur. Encore, autrement dit, lesdits moyens d'assemblage ne sont pas des pièces supplémentaires et distinctes de l'essoreur devant être rapportées et/ou collées pour assurer la mise en position et/ou le maintien en position de l'essoreur dans la flaconnette dépourvue de goulot. Encore, autrement dit, l'essoreur comprend les moyens d'assemblage.The expression " located on the wiper " means that the assembly means, including the means (s) positioning and the means (s) for holding in position said wiper, do integral part of the wiper. In other words, said assembly means are integrated into the structure of the wiper itself and are only one piece with said wiper. In other words, the means assembly are from material with the wiper. Again, in other words, said assembly means are not additional and separate parts of the wiper to be reported and / or glued to ensure the positioning and / or holding in position of the wiper in the empty vial bottleneck. Still, in other words, the wiper comprises the assembly means.

Par « retrait de l'essoreur » on entend que l'ensemble de l'essoreur et des moyens d'assemblage est retiré de la flaconnette lors du passage de l'applicateur dans la flaconnette. Autrement dit, il ne s'agit pas d'un retrait uniquement de certains des éléments structurels de l'essoreur, notamment des ailettes orientées à l'origine vers le fond de la flaconnette et qui seraient rabattues vers l'ouverture de la flaconnette au moment du passage de l'applicateur.By " withdrawal of the wiper " is meant that the entire wiper and assembly means is removed from the bottle during the passage of the applicator in the bottle. In other words, it is not a withdrawal only some of the structural elements of the wiper, including the fins originally oriented to the bottom of the bottle and which would be folded towards the opening of the bottle at moment of passage of the applicator.

En ce qui concerne les différentes structures et leurs numéros de référence respectifs dans les figures, nous utiliserons le même numéro de référence pour chaque structure identique. Toutefois, ce numéro de référence sera précédé d'une centaine différente selon le mode de réalisation. Par exemple, l'ensemble applicateur est identifié 100 sur la figure 1 b, 200 sur la fig. 2b, 300 sur la fig. 3b, et ainsi de suite, et ce pour l'ensemble des structures et des figures.With respect to the different structures and their respective reference numbers in the figures, we will use the same reference number for each identical structure. However, this reference number will be preceded by a hundred different according to the embodiment. For example, the applicator assembly is identified 100 on the figure 1b , 200 on the Fig. 2b , 300 on the Fig. 3b , and so on, for all structures and figures.

La figure 1a illustre une flaconnette F de l'art antérieur. De façon générale cette flaconnette F comprend un corps destiné à contenir un produit cosmétique. Ce corps s'étend le long d'une direction principale d'extension longitudinale X1 et présente une paroi de fond à l'une de ses extrémités, une ouverture (définie par ce que l'on peut appeler un col de flaconnette) à l'extrémité opposée le long de la direction principale et une paroi latérale située entre lesdites deux extrémités. Le corps comprend en outre des épaulements E, c'est-à-dire un rétrécissement des dimensions du corps au niveau de sa partie supérieure, de manière à permettre la création d'un goulot G sur lequel viendra se fixer un capot (non illustré) à l'aide de moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture situés d'une part sur le goulot G et d'autre part sur le capot. Autrement dit, le corps de la flaconnette F de l'art antérieur est muni dans sa partie supérieure d'un épaulement E permettant ainsi de rétrécir les dimensions d1' de l'ouverture de la flaconnette F par rapport aux dimensions D1' du corps pour ainsi créer ledit goulot G (d1'<D1').The figure 1a illustrates a flask F of the prior art. In general, this bottle F comprises a body intended to contain a cosmetic product. This body extends along a main direction of longitudinal extension X 1 and has a bottom wall at one of its ends, an opening (defined by what may be called a bottle neck) to the opposite end along the main direction and a side wall between said two ends. The body further comprises shoulders E, that is to say a narrowing of the dimensions of the body at its upper part, so as to allow the creation of a neck G on which will be fixed a hood (not shown ) by means of opening and closing means part on the neck G and secondly on the hood. In other words, the body of the bottle F of the prior art is provided in its upper part with a shoulder E thus making it possible to reduce the dimensions d 1 'of the opening of the bottle F with respect to the dimensions D 1 ' of the body to thereby create said neck G (d 1 '<D 1 ').

L'invention, elle, concerne un ensemble applicateur 100 pour produit cosmétique P, apte à occuper deux positions, une position d'ouverture et une position de fermeture.The invention, it relates to an applicator assembly 100 for cosmetic product P, adapted to occupy two positions, an open position and a closed position.

On entend par « position d'ouverture », la position que prend l'ensemble applicateur, lorsqu'un capot 90 est détaché d'un corps 112 d'une flaconnette sans goulot 110. A contrario, on entend par « position de fermeture », la position que prend l'ensemble applicateur lorsque le capot 90 est fixé au corps 112 de la flaconnette sans goulot 110.By "open position " is meant the position taken by the applicator assembly, when a cover 90 is detached from a body 112 of a bottle without a neck 110. On the other hand, by " closing position " is meant the position taken by the applicator assembly when the cap 90 is fixed to the body 112 of the bottle without a neck 110.

Ledit ensemble applicateur 100 comprend d'une part une flaconnette sans goulot 110.Said applicator assembly 100 comprises on the one hand a bottle without a neck 110.

On entend par flaconnette « sans goulot » 110, que contrairement aux flaconnettes standards de l'art antérieur décrite ci-dessus, le corps 112 de la flaconnette sans goulot 110 ne comporte pas d'épaulement au niveau de sa partie supérieure, ou autrement dit au niveau de sa zone de col Zc, tel qu'illustré à la figure 1 b. Si l'on prend l'exemple particulier d'un corps 112 et d'un col 111 de flaconnette sans goulot présentant chacun une forme cylindrique dans le sens de la direction principale X3 et une section transversale circulaire, le diamètre d1 du col 111 présentera les mêmes dimensions que le diamètre D1 du corps 112 de la flaconnette 110 (d1=D1). Autrement dit, la dimension de la section transversale circulaire du col 111 sera constante et non rétrécie sur toute la partie supérieure du corps 112, aussi appelée zone de col Zc, de la flaconnette sans goulot 110. La flaconnette selon l'invention sera, avantageusement, dépourvue de goulot.The term "bottle without neck " 110 means that unlike the standard vials of the prior art described above, the body 112 of the vial without neck 110 does not have a shoulder at its upper part, or in other words at its neck region Z c, as shown in figure 1 b. If we take the particular example of a body 112 and a collar 111 of bottle without neck each having a cylindrical shape in the direction of the main direction X 3 and a circular cross section, the diameter of the neck 1 111 will have the same dimensions as the diameter D 1 of the body 112 of the bottle 110 (d 1 = D 1 ). In other words, the dimension of the circular cross section of the neck 111 will be constant and not shrunken over the entire upper part of the body 112, also called collar zone Z c , of the bottle without a neck 110. The bottle according to the invention will, advantageously, without neck.

Selon l'invention, ladite flaconnette sans goulot 110 comprend un corps 112 destiné de façon générale à contenir un produit cosmétique P. Tel qu'illustré à la figure 1b, le corps 112 de la flaconnette sans goulot 110 s'étend le long d'une direction principale d'extension longitudinale, dite direction principale et repérée X3 sur les figures 1 b à 9b (l'axe X2 se confond avec l'axe X3 en position monté de l'essoreur dans le corps de la flaconnette). Afin de délimiter le réservoir (non illustré) dans lequel est plus précisément contenu le produit cosmétique P, le corps 112 présente une paroi de fond à une première extrémité, dite extrémité distale 113, une ouverture (définie par le col 111 de la flaconnette 110) à une deuxième extrémité opposée le long de la direction principale, dite extrémité proximale 114, ainsi qu'une paroi latérale 115 située entre l'extrémité distale 113 et l'extrémité proximale 114, ladite paroi latérale 115 présentant une surface externe 116 et une surface interne 117.According to the invention, said bottle without neck 110 comprises a body 112 intended generally to contain a cosmetic product P. As illustrated in FIG. figure 1b , the body 112 of the bottle without neck 110 extends along a main direction of longitudinal extension, said main direction and marked X 3 on the Figures 1b to 9b (The X axis 2 coincides with the axis X 3 in the mounted position of the wiper in the body of the bottle). In order to delimit the reservoir (not shown) in which the cosmetic product P is more precisely contained, the body 112 has a bottom wall at a first end, said distal end 113, an opening (defined by the neck 111 of the vial 110) at a second opposite end along the main direction, said proximal end 114, and a side wall 115 located between the distal end 113 and the proximal end 114, said side wall 115 having a surface external 116 and an inner surface 117.

Le corps 112 est avantageusement une pièce rigide. On entend par « rigide », qui n'est ni déformable sous la pression atmosphérique, ni sous une force exercée par les doigts d'un utilisateur. Sa section transversale peut être de toute forme, notamment polygonale ou circulaire. De préférence, sa section transversale est circulaire.The body 112 is advantageously a rigid piece. The term " rigid ", which is neither deformable under atmospheric pressure, nor under a force exerted by the fingers of a user. Its cross section can be of any shape, in particular polygonal or circular. Preferably, its cross section is circular.

Le corps 112 est, par exemple, à base de matière plastique, notamment de polypropylène. Il est réalisé, notamment par injection ou injection soufflage. Il peut être décoré, notamment par métallisation ou autre.The body 112 is, for example, based on plastic material, in particular polypropylene. It is produced, in particular by injection or injection blow molding. It can be decorated, in particular by metallization or other.

On peut définir deux zones générales sur le corps 112 de la flaconnette sans goulot 110 : une zone de col Zc ou partie supérieure du corps ou tête, située plus près de l'extrémité proximale du corps de la flaconnette et une zone de fond Zf ou partie inférieure du corps ou tronc, située plus près de l'extrémité distale du corps de la flaconnette. La zone de col Zc comprend généralement des moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture 118 destinés à coopérer avec des moyens complémentaires sur un capot de manière à ouvrir et fermer la flaconnette sans goulot 110, tel qu'illustré sur la figure 1 b. En variante, les moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture 119 sur le corps 112 de la flaconnette sans goulot 110 peuvent être situés sur la zone de fond Zf de ladite flaconnette ou autrement dit, à distance de la zone de col Zc.Two general zones can be defined on the body 112 of the bottle without neck 110: a neck zone Z c or upper part of the body or head, located closer to the proximal end of the body of the bottle and a bottom zone Z f or lower part of the body or trunk, located closer to the distal end of the body of the bottle. The neck zone Z c generally comprises opening and closing means 118 intended to cooperate with complementary means on a hood so as to open and close the bottle without a neck 110, as illustrated on FIG. figure 1 b. Alternatively, the opening and closing means 119 on the body 112 of the bottle without neck 110 may be located on the bottom zone Z f of said bottle or in other words, at a distance from the neck zone Z c .

La zone de col Zc et la zone de fond Zf peuvent être issues d'une seule et même pièce en matière plastique (voir fig. 2b, 3b, 4b, 5b et 6b). En variante, la zone de col Zc et la zone de fond Zf peuvent être formées par des pièces séparées et ensuite assemblées ensemble par soudure ou par clippage avec insertion d'un joint d'étanchéité entre les deux pièces (voir fig. 7b, 8b et 9b) .The neck zone Z c and the bottom zone Z f can come from one and the same piece of plastic material (see Fig. 2b, 3b, 4b , 5b and 6b ). Alternatively, the neck zone Z c and the bottom zone Z f may be formed by separate pieces and then assembled together by welding or by clipping with insertion of a seal between the two pieces (see FIG. Fig. 7b, 8b and 9b ).

Comme illustré à la fig. 1c, l'ensemble applicateur 100 comprend également un essoreur 120 (représenté ici par l'essoreur du mode de réalisation des fig. 2a et 2b) présentant un orifice d'essorage 122, ledit essoreur 120 étant destiné à racler le produit cosmétique P en excès sur un applicateur 80, via l'orifice d'essorage 122, lorsque la flaconnette passe de la position de fermeture à la position d'ouverture. En effet, pour éviter que l'applicateur 80 ne soit trop chargé en produit cosmétique P, l'ensemble applicateur 100 comprend un essoreur 120 fixé à l'extrémité proximale 114 du corps 112 et s'étendant vers l'intérieur du réservoir.As illustrated in Fig. 1 C the applicator assembly 100 also includes a wiper 120 (here shown by the wiper of the embodiment of Fig. 2a and 2b ) having a wiping orifice 122, said wiper 120 being intended to scrape the product cosmetic P excess on an applicator 80, via the wiper orifice 122, when the bottle passes from the closed position to the open position. Indeed, to prevent the applicator 80 is too much loaded cosmetic product P, the applicator assembly 100 comprises a wiper 120 attached to the proximal end 114 of the body 112 and extending inwardly of the reservoir.

Lorsque l'utilisateur extrait l'applicateur 80 du réservoir, l'applicateur 80 coulisse au travers de l'essoreur 120. L'essoreur, via son orifice d'essorage 122, racle le produit cosmétique P en excès sur l'applicateur, c'est-à-dire sur une tige 82 et sur un embout applicateur 84 fixé sur cette dernière. L'essoreur 120 permet ainsi de régler la quantité de produit présent sur l'embout applicateur 84 et évite une application excessive de produit cosmétique P sur la surface d'application.When the user extracts the applicator 80 from the reservoir, the applicator 80 slides through the wiper 120. The wiper, via its wiper orifice 122, scrapes the cosmetic product P in excess on the applicator, c that is to say on a rod 82 and on an applicator tip 84 fixed on the latter. The wiper 120 thus makes it possible to adjust the amount of product present on the applicator tip 84 and avoids excessive application of cosmetic product P to the application surface.

Ledit essoreur 120 présente une surface externe 124 et une surface interne 126. Selon l'invention, la surface interne de l'essoreur 120 est conçue de manière à être en contact direct avec l'applicateur lorsque la flaconnette passe de la position d'ouverture à la position de fermeture, ou inversement. Autrement dit, les surfaces externe 124 et interne 126 sont deux faces d'une même pièce, qui présente une épaisseur unique, celle de la matière qui forme l'essoreur. Encore autrement dit, l'essoreur 120 est une pièce mécanique simple, obtenue en une unique épaisseur de matière.Said wiper 120 has an outer surface 124 and an inner surface 126. According to the invention, the inner surface of the wiper 120 is designed to be in direct contact with the applicator when the vial passes from the open position. at the closed position, or vice versa. In other words, the outer 124 and inner surfaces 126 are two faces of the same piece, which has a single thickness, that of the material that forms the wiper. In other words, the wiper 120 is a simple mechanical part, obtained in a single thickness of material.

Avantageusement, l'essoreur est « souple ». Par « souple » on entend que l'essoreur est plutôt malléable et pourra éventuellement se plier et se déformer aisément, que ce soit avant son insertion dans la zone de col Zc de la flaconnette, soit au moment de son insertion ou encore au moment du passage de l'applicateur. Au contraire, l'essoreur « rigide » sera inséré en force dans la zone de col Zc de la flaconnette de façon à ne plus du tout être déformé par la suite. Par conséquent, l'essoreur « rigide », de par sa nature, profitera moins des avantages de la présente invention.Advantageously, the wiper is " flexible ". By " flexible " is meant that the wiper is rather malleable and may eventually bend and deform easily, either before insertion into the neck Z c area of the bottle, or at the time of insertion or at the time the passage of the applicator. On the contrary, the " rigid " wiper will be inserted into force in the neck Z c area of the bottle so as not to be deformed thereafter. Therefore, the " rigid " wiper, by its nature, will benefit less from the advantages of the present invention.

L'ensemble applicateur 100 comprend également des moyens d'assemblage composés au moins d'un moyen de mise en position et au moins d'un moyen de maintien en position dudit essoreur 120 avec la flaconnette110, lesdits moyens d'assemblage étant destinés à coopérer, au niveau de l'extrémité proximale 114 de la flaconnette 110, de façon à bloquer un mouvement de retrait de l'essoreur 120 lors du passage de l'applicateur 80 dans la flaconnette 110.The applicator assembly 100 also comprises assembly means comprising at least one positioning means and at least one holding means in position of said wiper 120 with the bottle 110, said connecting means being intended to cooperate with each other. at the proximal end 114 of the vial 110, to block a withdrawal movement of the wiper 120 during the passage of the applicator 80 in the vial 110.

Les moyens d'assemblage, notamment le(les) moyen(s) de mise en position et le(les) moyen(s) de maintien en position dudit essoreur 120, font partis intégrante de l'essoreur 120. Autrement dit, lesdits moyens d'assemblage sont intégrés à la structure de l'essoreur lui-même et ne font qu'une pièce unique avec ledit essoreur. Encore autrement dit, les moyens d'assemblage sont issus de matière avec l'essoreur. Encore, autrement dit, lesdits moyens d'assemblage ne sont pas des pièces supplémentaires et distinctes de l'essoreur devant être rapportées et/ou collées pour assurer la mise en position et/ou le maintien en position de l'essoreur dans la flaconnette 110 dépourvue de goulot. Encore, autrement dit, l'essoreur comprend les moyens d'assemblage. Les moyens d'assemblage étant directement intégrés à l'essoreur, ceci diminue le nombre de pièces et le coût de production de l'ensemble applicateur.The assembly means, in particular the positioning means (s) and the position holding means (s) of said wiper 120, are integral parts of the wiper 120. In other words, said means assembly are integrated into the structure of the wiper itself and are only one piece with said wiper. In other words, the assembly means are made of material with the wiper. Again, in other words, said assembly means are not additional and separate parts of the wiper to be reported and / or glued to ensure the positioning and / or holding in position of the wiper in the bottle 110 without neck. Still, in other words, the wiper comprises the assembly means. The assembly means being directly integrated with the wiper, this reduces the number of parts and the production cost of the applicator assembly.

Le moyen de mise en position et le moyen de maintien en position de l'essoreur pourraient être distincts l'un de l'autre.The positioning means and the holding means in position of the wiper may be distinct from each other.

Dans un premier mode de réalisation, tel qu'illustré sur les figures 2a et 2b, le moyen de mise en position est une collerette 230 en partie haute de l'essoreur 220 destinée à coopérer avec l'extrémité proximale 214 de la flaconnette et dans lequel le moyen de maintien en position se présente sous la forme d'au moins deux ailettes 232 qui font saillies au niveau de l'orifice d'essorage 222, les deux ailettes 232 étant destinées à être repliées entre la surface externe 224 de l'essoreur et la surface interne 217 de la flaconnette pour assurer le maintien en position de l'essoreur 220 dans la flaconnette 210.In a first embodiment, as illustrated in the Figures 2a and 2b , the positioning means is a flange 230 at the top of the wiper 220 intended to cooperate with the proximal end 214 of the bottle and wherein the position holding means is in the form of at least two fins 232 which protrude at the wiper orifice 222, the two fins 232 being intended to be folded between the outer surface 224 of the wiper and the inner surface 217 of the bottle to ensure the position in position wiper 220 in the bottle 210.

En tant que moyen de maintien en position, le nombre d'ailettes 232 peut varier. Ce nombre peut être compris entre deux et huit. Plus préférentiellement, ce nombre est de cinq, tel qu'illustré à la figure 2a.As a means for holding in position, the number of fins 232 may vary. This number can be between two and eight. More preferably, this number is five, as illustrated in FIG. figure 2a .

Au repos, les ailettes 232 s'étendent radialement par rapport à l'axe principal. Le diamètre formé par les ailettes 232 au repos est supérieur à celui de la collerette 230 de l'essoreur 220.At rest, the fins 232 extend radially relative to the main axis. The diameter formed by the fins 232 at rest is greater than that of the collar 230 of the wiper 220.

Dans un second mode de réalisation, tel qu'illustré sur les figures 3a et 3b, le moyen de mise en position est une collerette 340 en partie haute de l'essoreur 320 destinée à coopérer avec l'extrémité proximale 314 de la flaconnette et dans lequel le moyen de maintien en position présente au moins une forme technique 342 faisant saillie sur la surface externe 324 de l'essoreur 320, cette forme technique 342 étant complémentaire d'au moins une lumière 344 située sur le haut de l'extrémité proximale 314 du corps 312 de la flaconnette 310.In a second embodiment, as illustrated in the Figures 3a and 3b , the positioning means is a collar 340 at the top of the wiper 320 intended to cooperate with the proximal end 314 of the bottle and wherein the holding means in position has at least one technical form 342 protruding from the outer surface 324 of the wiper 320, this technical form 342 being complementary to at least one lumen 344 located on the top of the proximal end 314 of the body 312 of the vial 310.

La forme technique 342 est un bourrelet de matière. Au moment de l'insertion de l'essoreur 320 dans la flaconnette 310, le bourrelet de matière sera clipsé en force dans la lumière 344 située au niveau de l'extrémité proximale 314 du corps 312 de la flaconnette 310 de manière à ce que l'essoreur 320 soit maintenu en place et ne puisse plus ressortir de ladite lumière 344.Technical form 342 is a bead of material. At the time of insertion of the wiper 320 into the bottle 310, the bead of material will be clipped forcefully into the lumen 344 located at the proximal end 314 of the body 312 of the bottle 310 so that wiper 320 is held in place and can not emerge from said light 344.

Avantageusement, la collerette des premier et second modes de réalisation présente une forme circulaire.Advantageously, the flange of the first and second embodiments has a circular shape.

Le moyen de mise en position et le moyen de maintien en position de l'essoreur peuvent également être confondus. Autrement dit, le moyen de mise en position et le moyen de maintien en position sont une unique et même pièce. Encore autrement dit, la même pièce sera utilisée à la fois comme moyen de mise en position et comme moyen de maintien en position.The positioning means and the means for holding the wiper in position may also be merged. In other words, the positioning means and the position holding means are a single piece. In other words, the same piece will be used both as a means of positioning and as a means of maintaining position.

Dans un troisième mode de réalisation, tel qu'illustré sur les figures 4a et 4b, le moyen de mise en position et le moyen de maintien en position se présentent sous la forme d'une ailette 450 qui d'une part repose en partie haute de l'essoreur 420 et d'autre part comprend une extrémité recourbée 452, ladite extrémité recourbée 452 étant destinée à coopérer avec une partie complémentaire 454 prévue au niveau de la surface externe 416 de la paroi latérale du corps 412 de la flaconnette 410.In a third embodiment, as illustrated in the Figures 4a and 4b the positioning means and the position holding means are in the form of a fin 450 which on the one hand rests in the upper part of the wiper 420 and on the other hand comprises a curved end 452, said curved end 452 being intended to cooperate with a complementary portion 454 provided at the outer surface 416 of the side wall of the body 412 of the vial 410.

L'extrémité recourbée 452 est avantageusement souple de façon à épouser la partie complémentaire 454 ou rainure prévue au niveau de la surface externe 416 de la paroi latérale du corps 412 de la flaconnette 410.The curved end 452 is advantageously flexible so as to match the complementary portion 454 or groove provided at the outer surface 416 of the side wall of the body 412 of the vial 410.

Dans un quatrième mode de réalisation, tel qu'illustré sur les figures 5a et 5b, le moyen d'assemblage est un assemblage filetage/taraudage 560 de manière à permettre le vissage de l'essoreur 520 au niveau de l'extrémité proximale 514 de la flaconnette 510. En effet, dans ce mode de réalisation, le filetage 562 est situé sur la surface externe 524 de l'essoreur 520 et est destiné à coopérer avec le taraudage 564 situé sur la surface interne 517 de la paroi latérale du corps de la flaconnette 510.In a fourth embodiment, as illustrated in the Figures 5a and 5b , the assembly means is a thread / tapping assembly 560 so as to allow screwing of the wiper 520 at the proximal end 514 of the vial 510. Indeed, in this embodiment, the thread 562 is located on the outer surface 524 of the wiper 520 and is intended to cooperate with the tapping 564 located on the inner surface 517 of the side wall of the body of the vial 510.

Dans un cinquième mode de réalisation, tel qu'illustré sur les figures 6a et 6b, le moyen de maintien en position se présente sous la forme d'une pièce intermédiaire 670 destinée à plaquer et coincer l'essoreur 620 contre la surface interne 617 de la paroi latérale du corps 612 de la flaconnette 610. Plus particulièrement, l'essoreur 620 est d'abord mis en position au niveau de l'extrémité proximale 614 du corps 612 de la flaconnette 610 ou autrement dit au niveau de la zone de col Zc. Une collerette 630 permet en effet d'assoir l'essoreur 620 au niveau de l'extrémité proximale 614 du corps 612 de la flaconnette 610. Une fois l'essoreur 620 mis en place, il est maintenu en position par son coincement contre la surface interne 617 de la flaconnette 610 à l'aide d'une pièce intermédiaire 670, la pièce intermédiaire étant en contact avec la surface interne 626 de l'essoreur 620.In a fifth embodiment, as illustrated in the Figures 6a and 6b the holding means in the position is in the form of an intermediate piece 670 for pressing and trapping the wiper 620 against the inner surface 617 of the side wall of the body 612 of the vial 610. More particularly, the wiper 620 is first positioned at the proximal end 614 of the body 612 of the vial 610 or in other words at the neck area Zc. A flange 630 makes it possible to seat the wiper 620 at the proximal end 614 of the body 612 of the vial 610. Once the wiper 620 has been put in place, it is held in position by being wedged against the surface. internal 617 of the bottle 610 with an intermediate part 670, the intermediate part being in contact with the inner surface 626 of the wiper 620.

La pièce intermédiaire 670 peut être formée à partir de tout type de matériaux présentant une rigidité telle qu'elle permette de coincer l'essoreur 620 contre la surface interne 617 de la flaconnette 610. Ce matériau doit également être compatible avec le produit cosmétique P, puisqu'au moment du passage de l'applicateur 80 ce matériau sera en contact avec le produit cosmétique P. Notamment, la pièce intermédiaire 670 peut être fabriqué en matière plastique telle que du polyoxyméthylène (POM) ou du polypropylène (PP).The intermediate piece 670 can be formed from any type of material having a rigidity such that it can trap the wiper 620 against the inner surface 617 of the vial 610. This material must also be compatible with the cosmetic product P, since at the time of the passage of the applicator 80 this material will be in contact with the cosmetic product P. Notably, the intermediate part 670 can be made of plastic such as polyoxymethylene (POM) or polypropylene (PP).

La présente invention peut également s'adapter sur des flaconnettes dont le corps est configuré en deux parties. Tel qu'illustré sur les figures 7b, 8b et 9b, le corps 712, 812, 912 de la flaconnette 710, 810, 910 est en deux parties ; les deux parties, une tête Zc et un tronc Zf, sont des pièces distinctes.The present invention can also be adapted to flasks whose body is configured in two parts. As illustrated on Figures 7b, 8b and 9b the body 712, 812, 912 of the vial 710, 810, 910 is in two parts; the two parts, a head Z c and a trunk Z f , are separate pieces.

Lorsque le corps de la flaconnette est en deux parties, les deux parties, une tête et un tronc, peuvent être obtenues à partir de matières différentes. La bi-injection peut être utilisée pour la fabrication de flaconnettes avec ce type de configuration en deux parties.When the body of the bottle is in two parts, the two parts, a head and a trunk, can be obtained from different materials. Bi-injection can be used for the manufacture of vials with this type of two-part configuration.

Lorsque la flaconnette 710, 810, 910 est en deux parties, les deux parties sont assemblées ensembles par soudure ou par clippage. Avantageusement, un joint d'étanchéité (non illustré) est présent entre les deux parties, c'est-à-dire entre la tête Zc et le tronc Zf.When the bottle 710, 810, 910 is in two parts, the two parts are assembled together by welding or by clipping. Advantageously, a seal (not shown) is present between the two parts, that is to say between the head Z c and the trunk Z f .

Lorsque la flaconnette est en deux parties, l'essoreur 720, 820, 920 est situé au niveau de la tête Zc de la flaconnette.When the bottle is in two parts, the wiper 720, 820, 920 is located at the head Z c of the bottle.

Plus particulièrement, les figures 7a et 7b illustrent un ensemble applicateur 700 où l'essoreur 720 sera mis en position et maintenu en position au niveau de la tête Zc de la flaconnette 710 du fait qu'il est obtenu par surmoulage ou par bi-injection. Une fois le surmoulage ou la bi-injection de l'essoreur 720 et de la tête Zc de la flaconnette fait, la tête Zc sera assemblée sur le tronc Zf de la flaconnette 710 par soudure ou par clipage tel que décrit précédemment.In particular, Figures 7a and 7b illustrate an applicator assembly 700 where the wiper 720 will be positioned and held in position at the head Z c of the vial 710 because it is obtained by overmolding or by bi-injection. Once overmoulding or bi-injection of the wiper 720 and the head Z c of the bottle made, the head Z c will be assembled on the trunk Z f of the bottle 710 by welding or clipping as described above.

Les figures 8a et 8b illustrent, quant à elles, un ensemble applicateur 800 dont le moyen de mise en position est une collerette 873 en partie haute de l'essoreur 820 destinée à coopérer avec l'extrémité proximale 814 de la flaconnette et dans lequel le moyen de maintien présente au moins une rainure circulaire 874 creusée dans la surface externe 824 de l'essoreur 820, cette rainure 874 recevant un godron circulaire complémentaire 875 situé sur la surface interne 817 de la paroi latérale 815 de la tête Zc du corps 812 de la flaconnette, pour ainsi assurer le maintien en position de l'essoreur 820 dans la flaconnette 810.The Figures 8a and 8b illustrate, for their part, an applicator assembly 800 whose positioning means is a flange 873 in the upper part of the wiper 820 intended to cooperate with the proximal end 814 of the bottle and in which the holding means is provided in FIG. less a circular groove 874 dug in the outer surface 824 of the wiper 820, this groove 874 receiving a complementary circular godron 875 located on the inner surface 817 of the side wall 815 of the head Z c of the body 812 of the bottle, for thus ensuring that the wiper 820 is held in position in the bottle 810.

Les figures 9a et 9b illustrent, un ensemble applicateur 900 dont le moyen de mise en position est la collaboration d'au moins une rainure longitudinale 976 et d'au moins une forme technique 977. La rainure longitudinale 976 s'étend le long de la direction principale X3 sur la surface interne 917 de la paroi latérale 915 de la tête Zc du corps de la flaconnette 910, alors que la forme technique 977 fait saillie sur la surface externe 924 de l'essoreur 920. La rainure 976 est donc destinée à coopérer avec la forme technique 977 pour la mise en position de l'essoreur 920 sur la flaconnette. Le moyen de maintien en position, quant à lui, se trouve en fin de course de la forme technique 977 dans la rainure 976. En effet, à la fin de ladite course, l'essoreur est manipulé de façon à effectuer une rotation. Ceci entraînera également une rotation de la forme technique 977, pour que cette dernière reste coincée contre une butée 978, ladite butée 978 étant issue du prolongement de la surface interne 917 de la paroi latérale 915 de la tête Zc du corps de la flaconnette. Ainsi, la coopération de la forme technique 977 avec la butée 978 assurera le maintien en position de l'essoreur 920 dans la flaconnette. Autrement dit, il s'agit ici d'un système de baillonette avec rotation.The Figures 9a and 9b illustrate, an applicator assembly 900 whose positioning means is the collaboration of at least one longitudinal groove 976 and at least one technical form 977. The longitudinal groove 976 extends along the main direction X 3 on the inner surface 917 of the sidewall 915 of the head Z c of the body of the vial 910, while the technical form 977 protrudes from the outer surface 924 of the wiper 920. the groove 976 is adapted to cooperate with the technical form 977 for positioning the wiper 920 on the bottle. The means of maintenance position, meanwhile, is at the end of the race of the technical form 977 in the groove 976. Indeed, at the end of said race, the wiper is manipulated to perform a rotation. This will also cause a rotation of the technical form 977, so that the latter remains wedged against a stop 978, said stop 978 being derived from the extension of the inner surface 917 of the side wall 915 of the head Z c of the body of the bottle. Thus, the cooperation of the technical form 977 with the stop 978 will ensure the holding in position of the wiper 920 in the bottle. In other words, it is here a system of baillonette with rotation.

Ledit essoreur, notamment en caoutchouc, est également configuré de manière à coopérer avec le capot 90 pour assurer une fermeture étanche de la flaconnette110 en position de fermeture. Plus particulièrement, l'étanchéité de la flaconnette est assurée par la compression de l'essoreur entre l'extrémité proximale 114 du corps 112 et le capot 90 en position de fermeture de la flaconnette 110.Said wiper, in particular rubber, is also configured to cooperate with the cover 90 to ensure a tight closure of the vial 110 in the closed position. More particularly, the tightness of the bottle is ensured by compression of the wiper between the proximal end 114 of the body 112 and the cap 90 in the closed position of the bottle 110.

L'invention concerne aussi un ensemble applicateur 100 d'un produit cosmétique P comprenant en outre un applicateur 80, et un capot 90, destiné à maintenir l'applicateur 80 de produit cosmétique à l'intérieur du corps 112 lorsque la flaconnette 110 est en position de fermeture (fig. 10).The invention also relates to an applicator assembly 100 of a cosmetic product P further comprising an applicator 80, and a cap 90, intended to hold the applicator 80 of cosmetic product inside the body 112 when the bottle 110 is in closing position (Fig. 10).

Le capot 90 peut être manipulé par un utilisateur et est destiné à maintenir un applicateur 80 de produit cosmétique à l'intérieur du corps 112, lorsque la flaconnette 110 est en position de fermeture.The cap 90 may be manipulated by a user and is intended to maintain a cosmetic product applicator 80 inside the body 112, when the bottle 110 is in the closed position.

Le capot 90 est avantageusement rigide. Il présente une surface interne 92, une surface externe 94 et une partie pleine 96 en son intérieur. Sa section transversale peut être de toute forme, notamment polygonale ou circulaire. De préférence, sa section transversale est circulaire.The cover 90 is advantageously rigid. It has an inner surface 92, an outer surface 94 and a solid portion 96 in its interior. Its cross section can be of any shape, in particular polygonal or circular. Preferably, its cross section is circular.

Le capot 90 est, par exemple, à base de matière plastique, notamment de polypropylène. Il est réalisé, notamment par injection ou injection soufflage. Il peut être décoré, notamment par métallisation ou autre.The cover 90 is, for example, based on plastic, in particular polypropylene. It is produced, in particular by injection or injection blow molding. It can be decorated, in particular by metallization or other.

La flaconnette 110 comprend en outre des moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture 98, 118 situés sur le capot 90 d'une part et sur le corps 112 de la flaconnette 110 d'autre part, les moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture 98, 118 étant configurés de manière à coopérer ensemble de manière à assurer le maintien en position de fermeture de la flaconnette 110.The bottle 110 further comprises opening and closing means 98, 118 located on the cover 90 on the one hand and on the body 112 of the bottle 110 on the other hand, the opening and closing means 98, 118 being configured so as to cooperate together so as to maintain the closed position of the vial 110.

Plus particulièrement, les moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture 98, 118 sont situés sur la surface interne 92 du capot 90 d'une part et sur la paroi latérale 115 du corps 112 de la flaconnette 110 d'autre part. De façon encore plus particulière, les moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture 118 sont situés sur la surface externe 116 de la paroi latérale 115 du corps 112 de la flaconnette 110.More particularly, the opening and closing means 98, 118 are located on the inner surface 92 of the cap 90 on the one hand and on the side wall 115 of the body 112 of the vial 110 on the other hand. Even more particularly, the opening and closing means 118 are located on the outer surface 116 of the side wall 115 of the body 112 of the bottle 110.

Les moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture 98, 118 comprennent un système de vissage, le système de vissage comprenant une partie taraudée située sur la surface interne 92 du capot 90 et une partie filetée située sur la surface externe 116 de la paroi latérale 115 du corps 112 de la flaconnette 110.The opening and closing means 98, 118 comprise a screwing system, the screwing system comprising a threaded portion located on the inner surface 92 of the cover 90 and a threaded portion located on the outer surface 116 of the side wall 115 of the body 112 of the bottle 110.

En variante, les moyens de d'ouverture et de fermeture 98, 118 comprennent un système de baïonnette (non illustré). Ledit capot 90 pourra présenter notamment un godron sur sa surface interne 92, lequel sera inséré dans un chemin de came (avec ou sans rotation) situé sur la surface externe 116 de la paroi latérale 115 du corps 112 de la flaconnette 110. En variante, le godron et le chemin de came peuvent être inversés, c'est-à-dire que le godron se retrouvera sur la surface externe 116 de la paroi latérale 115 du corps 112 de la flaconnette 110 et le chemin de came se retrouvera sur la surface interne 92 du capot 90.Alternatively, the opening and closing means 98, 118 comprise a bayonet system (not shown). Said cover 90 may in particular have a gadroon on its inner surface 92, which will be inserted in a cam path (with or without rotation) located on the outer surface 116 of the side wall 115 of the body 112 of the bottle 110. In a variant, the godron and the cam path can be reversed, that is to say the godron will be found on the outer surface 116 of the side wall 115 of the body 112 of the bottle 110 and the cam path will be found on the surface internal 92 of the hood 90.

Alternativement, les moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture 98, 118 comprennent un système de clippage (non illustré), autrement dit d'encliquetage. Ledit capot 90 pourra présenter notamment pour cela une gorge annulaire sur sa surface interne 92 dans laquelle sera insérée une bague située sur la surface externe 116 de la paroi latérale 115 du corps 112 de la flaconnette 110. En variante, il pourra s'agir de dents et/ou d'encoches.Alternatively, the opening and closing means 98, 118 comprise a clipping system (not shown), that is to say latching. Said cover 90 may in particular have for this purpose an annular groove on its inner surface 92 in which will be inserted a ring located on the outer surface 116 of the side wall 115 of the body 112 of the bottle 110. Alternatively, it may be teeth and / or notches.

Selon l'invention, l'étanchéité sera également assurée, d'une part, par la coopération des moyens de fermeture 118 positionnés au niveau du corps 112 de la flaconnette avec les moyens complémentaires situés au niveau du capot 90 de la flaconnette et d'autre part, lorsque le capot 90 aura été fixé sur le corps 112 de la flaconnette via les moyens de fermeture susmentionnés, par la coopération du capot 90 et de l'essoreur 120.According to the invention, the seal will also be ensured, on the one hand, by the cooperation of the closing means 118 positioned at the body 112 of the bottle with the complementary means located at the cap 90 of the bottle and of on the other hand, when the cover 90 has been fixed on the body 112 of the bottle via the aforementioned closing means, by the cooperation of the cover 90 and the wiper 120.

L'applicateur 80, quant à lui, comprend généralement une tige axiale 82 d'une part et un embout applicateur 84 d'autre part. La tige axiale 82 s'étend selon une direction principale d'extension longitudinale, en l'occurrence la direction principale X3 et comprend deux extrémités opposées. De par son extrémité dite supérieure, la tige axiale 82 est conçue de façon à solidariser l'applicateur au capot 90. Par ailleurs, via son extrémité inférieure ou extrémité libre, la tige axiale 82 est conçue pour être fixée à l'embout applicateur 84. L'applicateur étant généralement solidarisé au capot 90, il forme avec ce dernier un moyen de préhension dudit applicateur. Lorsque le capot 90 est fixé sur le corps 112 de la flaconnette 110, c'est-à-dire lorsque la flaconnette 110 est en position de fermeture, la tige axiale 82 et l'embout applicateur 84 s'étendent à l'intérieur du corps 112 de la flaconnette 110. L'applicateur est ainsi immergé dans le produit cosmétique P contenu dans le réservoir. Pour utiliser l'applicateur 80, l'utilisateur détache le capot 90 du corps 112 et extrait l'applicateur du réservoir. On parle alors de position d'ouverture de la flaconnette.The applicator 80, meanwhile, generally comprises an axial rod 82 on the one hand and an applicator tip 84 on the other hand. The axial rod 82 extends in a main direction of longitudinal extension, in this case the main direction X 3 and comprises two opposite ends. By its so-called upper end, the axial rod 82 is designed to secure the applicator to the cover 90. Moreover, via its lower end or free end, the axial rod 82 is designed to be fixed to the applicator tip 84 As the applicator is generally secured to the cover 90, it forms with the latter a means for gripping said applicator. When the cover 90 is fixed on the body 112 of the bottle 110, that is to say when the bottle 110 is in the closed position, the axial rod 82 and the applicator tip 84 extend inside the body 112 of the bottle 110. The applicator is thus immersed in the cosmetic product P contained in the reservoir. To use the applicator 80, the user detaches the cover 90 from the body 112 and extracts the applicator from the reservoir. This is called the opening position of the bottle.

La tige 82 est avantageusement rigide. Elle pourra être légèrement déformée, notamment courbée, sous l'effet des efforts appliqués lors du maquillage, ceci en raison de sa forme allongée. Ladite tige 82 est, par exemple, à base de matière plastique, notamment de polypropylène.The rod 82 is advantageously rigid. It may be slightly deformed, especially curved, under the effect of efforts applied during makeup, this because of its elongated shape. Said rod 82 is, for example, based on plastic, in particular polypropylene.

En fonction des applications visées, ledit embout applicateur 84 pourra être une brosse à mascara, un pinceau pour l'application de l'eyeliner, une spatule de baume pour les lèvres ou autres. En effet, bien que plus particulièrement prévu pour l'application du mascara ou de l'eyeliner, l'invention pourra également être utilisée pour tout autre type de produits cosmétiques, notamment du baume pour les lèvres.Depending on the intended applications, said applicator tip 84 may be a mascara brush, a brush for applying the eyeliner, a lip balm spatula or the like. Indeed, although more particularly intended for the application of mascara or eyeliner, the invention can also be used for any other type of cosmetic products, including lip balm.

Les matériaux utilisés pour l'embout applicateur 60 peuvent est choisi dans le groupe comprenant des fibres végétales (par exemple : coton, rayonne, cellulose), des fibres en matériau thermoplastique (par exemple : polyamide, polyester, nylon), des fibres en matériau thermoplastique élastiquement déformable (par exemple : élastomères, élastomères thermoplastiques, élastomères vulcanisés), un « fritté » et une mousse (par exemple : de polyuréthane, de polyéthylène, de chlorure de polyvinyle, de polyéther, de NBR (natural rubber), de SBR (synthetic rubber)). Par « fritté », on entend un produit obtenu par une consolidation par action de la chaleur d'un agglomérat granulaire plus ou moins compact, avec ou sans fusion d'un ou de plusieurs de ses constituants. En particulier, tout type d'embout applicateur 84 formant une brosse à mascara pourra être utilisé ici, que celui-ci soit moulé ou torsadé, à âme droite ou courbée.The materials used for the applicator tip 60 may be chosen from the group comprising vegetable fibers (for example: cotton, rayon, cellulose), fibers made of thermoplastic material (for example: polyamide, polyester, nylon), fibers made of material thermoplastic elastically deformable (for example: elastomers, thermoplastic elastomers, vulcanized elastomers), a "sintered" and a foam (for example: polyurethane, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyether, NBR (natural rubber), SBR (synthetic rubber)). By "sintered" is meant a product obtained by consolidation by the action of heat of a granular agglomerate more or less compact, with or without fusion of one or more of its constituents. In particular, any type of applicator tip 84 forming a mascara brush may be used here, whether it is molded or twisted, straight or curved core.

En outre, les alternatives présentées ci-dessus pourront être combinées, ceci sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.In addition, the alternatives presented above may be combined, without departing from the scope of the invention.
