Definitions

  • the invention relates to an applicator tip for a cosmetic product, an applicator and an associated applicator assembly.
  • Applicator assemblies for cosmetic products are known, for example for cosmetic products intended to be applied to the lips and/or the skin of a user.
  • Said applicator assemblies comprise a container containing the cosmetic product and an applicator adapted to be removably attached to the container.
  • 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.
  • the applicator generally comprises a stopper adapted to be fixed on the neck, a stem extending from the stopper and an applicator tip fixed to a free end of the stem.
  • the rod and the applicator tip extend inside the reservoir.
  • the applicator is immersed in the cosmetic product contained in the reservoir.
  • the user detaches the cap from the neck and extracts the applicator from the container.
  • Known applicator tips generally have a spatula-shaped zone intended to come into contact with the part to be made up, in particular to load them with cosmetic product.
  • the spatula-shaped zone usually allows only local application of cosmetic product, for example on a single lip at a time.
  • the spatula also has an uncomfortable stiffness when pressure is exerted on the part to be made up.
  • the document WO2016/042216 A41 describes an applicator tip comprising at least one flexible arch so as to generate a variation in the volume of a reservoir and a cosmetic product pumping effect.
  • the present invention aims to provide an applicator tip making it possible to make up, in a single application, an extended zone of a user, for example the two lips, while maintaining comfort of use during make-up.
  • the invention relates to a tip intended for applying a cosmetic product to the lips and/or the skin of a user.
  • Said tip comprises a sleeve and an application part.
  • Said sleeve is intended to be assembled with a rod of which at least one of the distal ends is hollow.
  • Said application part extends along a main longitudinal extension direction, called main direction, between two opposite distal ends, a first end called proximal end and a second end called distal end.
  • Said sleeve extends from the proximal end of said application part along said main direction in the opposite direction to that which points towards the distal end of the application part.
  • the sleeve and said first application zone are made in continuity of material, said second application zone being linked to the first application zone via said hinge means.
  • Said articulation means allows a rocking movement of the second application zone relative to the first application zone on either side of a plane of symmetry of the applicator tip, said plane of symmetry being defined by two X, Y axes of an orthonormal X, Y, Z coordinate system whose X direction coincides with the main direction.
  • Said articulation means separates the first and second application zones by forming at least one reservoir of cosmetic product between said first and second application zones, the rocking movement taking place around a direction of which one at the least of the components is coincident with the X axis.
  • the applicator tip comprises a hinge means which allows one of the application zones to be movable relative to the other.
  • This mobility limits the rigidity of the applicator part and provides flexibility to the applicator tip. This flexibility confers comfort of use, in particular for the application of a cosmetic product to the lips and/or the skin of a user.
  • the reservoir has the advantage of serving as an intermediate reservoir for the cosmetic product to be applied, which ensures the user of having enough cosmetic product on the applicator tip to be able to apply make-up, in a single application without having to refill the applicator tip in cosmetic product
  • the invention also relates to an applicator assembly comprising said container intended to receive a viscous, pasty or liquid cosmetic product, said container comprising an opening cooperating with a closing cap, said closing cap being connected to said handling rod of the tip applicator as described above.
  • the invention also relates to the applicator assembly, the container of which is filled with cosmetic product, the product being in particular intended for making up the lips of a user.
  • the figure 1 illustrates a first example of an applicator tip 10 for a cosmetic product according to the invention.
  • the applicator tip 10 extends in a main direction of longitudinal extension, referred to as the main direction and marked X in the figures.
  • the applicator tip 10 comprises an application part 20.
  • application part is understood to mean a part of the applicator tip which is able to retain cosmetic product when it is brought into contact with it, and to restore it then.
  • the application part 20 extends in the main direction, between a first end, called the proximal end 13 and a second end, called the distal end 16, opposite the proximal end.
  • the application part 20 has an elongated longitudinal section in the main direction X, in particular in the shape of an oval, and a cross section in the main direction X falling within a circle of variable diameter along the axis X and whose maximum diameter is d.
  • This elongated shape provides a larger applicator surface while maintaining a restricted diameter of the application part 20 to facilitate its introduction into a container 50 containing the cosmetic product.
  • the term “applicator surface” is understood to mean a surface devoid of protrusions such as the protrusions of the mascara brushes which are used for applying the product.
  • the application part extends as far as a rod 40, called the manipulation rod, reducing the space between the application part 20 and the manipulation rod 40. This prevents an accumulation of product at this level after spin-drying which risks running and hindering the application of the product.
  • the applicator tip 10 comprises a sleeve 14.
  • the sleeve 14 is intended to be assembled with the stem 40, here embedded in the stem 40, to form an applicator.
  • the sleeve 14 extends from the proximal end 13 of the application part 20 along said main direction in the direction opposite to that which points towards the distal end of the application part.
  • the first and second application zones 20a, 20b are zones with which the user applies the cosmetic product to his lips and/or the skin.
  • the sleeve 14 and said first application zone 20a are made in continuity of material.
  • continuity of material it is meant that the first zone 20a is in the extension of the sleeve 14, that is to say, the first application zone 20a is linked to the sleeve 14.
  • the application part is linked to the sleeve 14 via the first application zone 20a.
  • the cross section is substantially constant between the rod 40 and the first application zone 20a.
  • Said second application zone 20b is then linked to first application zone 20a via said articulation means 20c.
  • the rod 40 and the sleeve 14 are made in continuity of material.
  • the rod 40 and the sleeve 14 are a single piece.
  • the application part 20 can also be glued, overmoulded, clipped, inserted, embedded at the end of an assembly formed by the rod and the sleeve 14.
  • Said articulation means 20c authorizes a rocking movement of the second application zone 20b with respect to the first application zone 20a on either side of a plane of symmetry of the applicator tip, said plane of symmetry being defined by two axes X, Y of an orthonormal reference X, Y, Z whose direction X coincides with the main direction.
  • the rocking movement takes place around a direction of which at least one of the components coincides with the X axis
  • the articulation means 20c separates the first and second application zones 20a, 20b by forming at least one reservoir 23 of cosmetic product between them.
  • the sleeve 14 is assembled to the rod 40, the part in the vicinity of the proximal end 13 of the application part, then merged with the vicinity of the hollow distal end of said manipulation rod 40, is a part 15 at which the cosmetic product is not or only slightly loaded after said applicator tip 10 has been immersed in the container 50 of cosmetic product, while the reservoir 23 is a part in which the cosmetic product is loaded in greater quantity after a diving.
  • the reservoir 23 has the advantage of serving as an intermediate reservoir for the cosmetic product to be applied, which ensures the user of having enough cosmetic product on the applicator tip 10 to be able to apply makeup, in a single application without having to refill the applicator tip 10 with cosmetic product.
  • the reservoir 23 creates a space between the first and second application areas 20a, 20b, and thus participates in promoting the tilting of the second application area 20b with respect to the first application area 20a.
  • the tank 23 (or space) allows a degree of freedom for the tilting of the second application area 20b.
  • the second application zone can tilt with a greater amplitude, corresponding substantially to the width e23, measured along the Y axis of the orthonormal reference X, Y, Z, of the space between the first and second application areas 20a, 20b, before its edge hits the first application area 20a ( figures 3 and 6 ).
  • the width e23 is of the order of a millimeter, preferably between 0.5 to 5 mm, more preferably 1.5 mm.
  • the orthogonal projection of said reservoir 23 in the plane of symmetry X, Y is a curved shape generated by a curve parameterized in the plane of symmetry X, Y.
  • the curved shape follows the curvature of the application part 20, in particular of the internal curvature of the first application zone 20a ( figures 1 and 4 ) and its width e23 will in particular be identical from the distal end 16 to the proximal end 13 of the application part 20.
  • the shape of the reservoir in orthogonal projection of said reservoir 23 in the plane of symmetry X, Y can vary.
  • the width e23 can vary along the main direction.
  • the reservoir 23 (or the space) can have a smaller width e23 at the distal end 16 of the application part 20 and greater at the proximal end 13 of the application part 20, and vice versa.
  • the width e23 may also be smaller at the distal 16 and proximal 13 ends of the applicator part 20 and larger in the center of the applicator part along the main direction.
  • the articulation means 20c is a strip of material whose thickness e20c measured along the axis Z of the orthonormal reference X, Y, Z is of the order of a millimeter, preferably between 0.3 and 1 mm, more preferably 0.5 mm.
  • the application part comprises two reservoirs 23 located on either side of the hinge means 20c.
  • the hinge means serves as a partition between the two reservoirs 23. The presence of two reservoirs makes it possible to accumulate more cosmetic product and a more uniform restitution on the parts to be made up.
  • the shape of the two tanks is identical.
  • the shape of the two reservoirs can be different.
  • the articulation means 20c takes the form of a plurality of bridges of material 24 connecting the first and second application zones 20a, 20b at a finite number of points.
  • the application part 20 thus has, between said first and second application areas 20a, 20b, a light 21 allowing the user to see through the application part 20 ( figure 4 ).
  • the application part 20 comprises a single reservoir 23 distributed on either side of the material bridges of the articulation means 20c.
  • the slot 21 makes it possible to have a single reservoir with a larger cosmetic product storage volume. This also makes it possible to prevent the cosmetic product from stagnating and thus improves its restitution, the cosmetic product being able to pass through the light 21.
  • the slot 21 confers flexibility in the direction of the Y axis. of a user.
  • the latter can tip over or even “crush”.
  • crashing is meant that the second application zone 20b, under the pressure exerted by a user or by the wiper, comes down on the internal curvature of the first application zone 20a.
  • the second application zone 20b under the pressure exerted by a user reduces the light or the volume of the reservoir.

  • the cover 72 is rigid.
  • the term “rigid” is understood to mean that it cannot be deformed either at atmospheric pressure or at a pressure exerted by the fingers of a user. It is with the aid of said cover 72 that the user manipulates the applicator of the invention, in particular because the cover 72 imparts the movement that the user gives it to the head 71 of the rod 40, which -even transmits this movement to the sleeve 14 with which it is assembled.

  • the diameter d61 of the wiping orifice 61 is substantially the same as that of the rod. This has the advantage of scraping the product on the applicator tip 10, and in particular of scraping the product on the application part 20 of said applicator tip 10.
  • the presence of the reservoir 23 has the advantage of limiting the effort required to extract the applicator from the container and more particularly the effort required to extract the application part 20 from the wiping orifice 61, since the reservoir 23 allows a certain deformation of the part application which would not be possible if the latter were full.

  • the application part 20, and more particularly, the application zones 20a and 20b can be smooth. It should be noted, as an alternative not excluded from the invention, that they may also have flocking on their surface, the flocking comprising in particular cotton or nylon. The flocking allows better retention of cosmetic product and a softer touch.
  • the diameter of the application part 20 provided with the flocking is greater by 0.3 to 2.6 mm, for example, depending on the chosen flocking.
  • the application zones 20a, 20b can bear a material on their surface or even comprise grooves, in particular of shallow depth, in particular of 200 to 300 micrometers. Said material imparts a surface state whose roughness is modified with respect to that of the application zones 20a, 20b taken bare.

  • the height h'10 of the visible part, measured along the main direction X is of the order of 12.5 mm.
  • a narrowing over the entire length of the application part, or even an absence of material at certain points, makes it possible to define at least two application zones at the applicator tip and to make one of the zones mobile with respect to the another by forming a means of articulation.
  • This narrowing gives a particular shape to the applicator tip which thus has a limited rigidity.
  • a more flexible tip is thus obtained which adapts to different users and to their makeup methods with ease of use.
  • this narrowing makes it possible to form at least one reservoir allowing the storage of cosmetic product. The user can thus apply the cosmetic product on a larger surface in one piece before having to plunge the tip back into the container.
