Definitions
- the invention relates to an applicator for a cosmetic product and an associated applicator assembly.
- Applicator assemblies for a cosmetic product are known, in particular for a cosmetic product intended to be applied to the eyelashes, such as mascara, comprising a container containing the cosmetic product and an applicator sub-assembly 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 subassembly generally includes a plug adapted to be attached to the neck, a stem extending from the plug and an applicator attached to a free end of the rod.
- the applicator comprises a core and a plurality of protuberances or bristles extending from the core.
- the rod and the applicator extend inside the tank.
- the applicator is immersed in the cosmetic product contained in the reservoir.
- the user detaches the neck cap and extracts the applicator from the container.
- the container generally comprises a wiper, fixed inside the neck.
- the applicator and the rod slide inside the wiper. The wiper scrapes the cosmetic product in excess on the stem and the applicator.
- the wiper thus makes it possible to regulate the quantity of product present on the applicator and avoids an excessive application of cosmetic product on the eyelashes.
- the wiper limits, in particular, the amount of product present on the protuberances.
- Two parameters interact for this purpose.
- radial extension of a protuberance is meant the distance between the longitudinal axis of extension of the core and the free end of the protuberance.
- zones having protuberances of lower radial extension favor the product loading of the applicator while the zones having protuberances of longer radial extension favor the combing of the eyelashes.
- An object of the present invention is to allow both the combing of the eyelashes and a suitable load thereof.
- the invention relates to an applicator for a cosmetic product comprising a core having a first end, said proximal end, and a second free end, said distal end, and a plurality of protuberances projecting from the core.
- said protuberances are molded with the core and are arranged in a plurality of rows extending in the direction of extension of a sleeve extending the core, and the free ends of said protuberances form two separate envelopes, a first of said envelopes having an outer bulk less than that of the second envelope, the number of rows, said first rows, forming the first envelope being less than the number of rows, said second rows, forming the second envelope.
- the proposed applicator has the advantage of simultaneously allowing the combing of eyelashes and their loading cosmetic product according to an advantageous compromise allowing some of the rows used to comb to follow each other angularly. This applicator is all the more advantageous as it allows this simultaneity of functions over its entire length.
- the core has a longitudinal extension which comprises a first curved portion of the proximal end to a central portion of the applicator and a second curved portion of said central portion at the distal end,
- said first and second envelopes are homothetic to one another; in other words, they follow the same profile, only the amplitude of the changing profile,
- said rows are parallel to the axis of longitudinal extension of the sleeve
- said rows are spaced radially around the periphery of the core at a constant angular distance
- said angular distance is 30 °
- the number of second rows is two to six, in particular four, times greater than the number of first rows
- the protuberances have a semicircular section
- the protuberances each extend according to a normal to the axis of longitudinal extension of said sleeve
- the protuberances are rectilinear
- the protuberances each have a flat surface, the protuberances being positioned so that flat surfaces of two adjacent protuberances are oriented in the same direction of rotation,
- the core is made of plastic material
- the protuberances are made of plastic material
- the core and the protuberances are molded in the same material
- the applicator forms a brush.
- the invention also relates to an applicator assembly for a cosmetic product, comprising a container comprising a body forming a reservoir intended to contain the cosmetic product, and the applicator as described above, adapted for to be fixed on the container, so that said applicator is housed inside the tank.
- said container comprises a wiper, said wiper having an internal diameter whose value is between the maximum external dimensions of the first envelope and the maximum external dimensions of the second envelope.
- FIG. 1 is an elevational view of an exemplary embodiment of an applicator according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view along the axis A-A referenced in FIG. 1,
- FIG. 3 is a view from above of the same embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 4 is a sectional view along the F-F axis referenced in Figure 3.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of an applicator 10 according to the invention.
- Said applicator 10 comprises a core 12 having a first end, said proximal end 13, and a second free end, said distal end 16, and a plurality of protuberances 30 projecting from the core 12.
- the core 12 is further extended, here, by a sleeve 14 for fixing the applicator 10, extending from the proximal end 13 of the core 12.
- the sleeve 14 has a longitudinal extension axis referenced Y in the figures.
- the core 12 also has a longitudinal extension, referenced X, in particular in Figure 2, advantageously curved as is developed further.
- the protuberances 30 are molded with the core 12.
- the protuberances 30 can be made from material with the core 12 or molded onto the core 12. This offers interesting possibilities in terms of shapes given to the core. 12, or even to said protuberances 30.
- the core 12 will have an S shape when viewed at an angle.
- said protuberances 30 may have different heights between them.
- height of a protrusion 30 is meant the distance between the periphery of the core 12 and the free end of the protuberance 30.
- S-shaped means that the core 12 has a first curved portion X1 of the proximal end 13 to a central portion 15 of the applicator 10 and a second curved portion X2 of said central portion 15 to the distal end 16 (see Figure 2).
- the curvature of the first part X1 is opposite to the curvature of the second part X2.
- the core 12 will have a substantially circular cross section, its proximal end 13 at its distal end 16.
- This embodiment is not limiting and the core 12 may equally well have a polygonal cross section.
- cross section of the core 12 is meant a section made in a plane orthogonal to its direction of extension X.
- Soul 12 will be scheduled full. It is also possible, in another embodiment not shown, that the core 12 is hollow.
- the protuberances 30, for their part, form envelopes with their free end.
- free end of a protrusion 30 is meant the end opposite to that by which it projects from the core 12.
- the protuberances 30 form a first and a second envelope E1, E2 which each have a spindle shape.
- Said envelopes E1, E2 are illustrated in detail in FIGS. 1 and 4; they extend from the proximal end 13 to the distal end 16 of the core 12.
- the S-shape of the core 12 described above does not influence the external dimensions of said first and second envelopes E1, E2.
- the height of the protuberances 30 is provided to form envelopes E1, E2 which do not depend on the shape of the core 12 from which they project, adjusting said height.
- the first envelope E1 has an external size less than that of the second envelope E2 (see Figure 3).
- the protuberances 30 are arranged in a plurality of rows R1-R12 extending in the direction of extension Y of the sleeve 14 of the core 12, parallel to said direction Y.
- the number of rows R3, R6, R9, R12, called first rows, forming the first envelope E1 is less than the number of rows R1, R2, R4, R5, R7, R8, R10, R1 1, say second rows, forming the second envelope E2.
- the first rows are four in number while the second rows are eight in number.
- This example is not limiting and the ratio of the number of seconds arranged on the number of first rows will be between two and six, preferably equal to four as here.
- the protuberances 30 have different heights. However, the radial extensions of the protuberances 30 belonging to the same row R1-R12 evolve in a chosen manner. By radial extension will be understood, for the rest, the distance between the axis Y of longitudinal extension of the sleeve 14 and the free end of a protuberance 30.
- the radial extensions of the protuberances 30 belonging to one and the same row R 1 -R 12 evolve linearly, or according to other variation profiles, from one protrusion 30 to the other, for example by successive stages of at least two substantially identical protuberances 30. .
- the radial extensions of the protuberances 30 of the first and second rows R1-R12 progressively increase in length from the proximal end 13 to the central portion 15 of the core 12 and then gradually decrease in length from said central portion 15 to the distal end 16 .
- the external dimensions d1, DE1 of the first envelope E1 formed by the protuberances 30 of the first rows R3, R6, R9, R12 will have a diameter of between 2 and 7 mm.
- This space dE1 will be substantially the same in the vicinity of the proximal end 13 and in the vicinity of the distal end 16, for example of the order of 3mm; while near the central portion 15, this space DE1 may be of the order of 6mm.
- the external dimensions dE2, DE2 of the second envelope E2 formed by the protuberances 30 of the second rows R1, R2, R4, R5, R7, R8, R10, R1 1 will have a diameter of between 4 and and 9mm.
- This space dE2 will be substantially the same in the vicinity of the proximal end 13 and in the vicinity of the distal end 16, for example of the order of 5mm; while in the vicinity of the central portion 15, this space DE2 may be of the order of 8mm.
- R1 -R12 rows are marked in Figure 3 which is, for recall, a top view of the applicator 10 according to the embodiment of Figure 1.
- the applicator exclusively comprises rows of the first and second types.
- the rows R1-R12 are spaced radially around the periphery of the core 12 at a constant angular distance.
- This angular distance can vary from one embodiment to another. In the embodiment illustrated here, the angular distance is 30 °. In other words, there are twelve rows R1 -R12. Said angular distance may be in the range [15 °; 45 °]; the number of rows varying according to the angular distance chosen.
- the container of the applicator assembly generally comprises a wiper fixed inside its neck to limit the amount of product on the protuberances 30, in particular on those of extensions longest radials. As a reminder, the latter are then used to comb the eyelashes, while the teeth of smaller radial extension, which will be little spun, serve to load the eyelashes product.
- the effect associated with the alternation of two types of rows of protuberances 30 is particularly advantageous. It allows the user to benefit, in a simple gesture of rotation of the applicator around the longitudinal extension axis Y of the sleeve 14, of a load envelope, namely the first envelope E1 formed by the first rows R3, R6, R9, R12, and a combing envelope, namely the second envelope E2 formed by the second rows R1, R2, R4, R5, R7, R8, R10, R1 1.
- the number of second rows R1, R2, R4, R5, R7, R8, R10, R1 1 being higher than the number of first rows R3, R6, R9, R12, the applicator according to the invention is rather dedicated to combing eyelashes that the eyelashes in cosmetic product.
- the protuberances 30 of two adjacent rows are advantageously axially offset with respect to each other.
- staggered means that the protuberances 30 of a row are axially offset relative to the protuberances 30 of the adjacent rows, said rows R1 -R12 having substantially the same pitch 37 between their protuberances 30, of the order of one millimeter for example ( see Figure 2).
- the rows R1-R12 will have the same number of protuberances 30, more or less a protrusion 30, for example twenty protuberances 30.
- said protuberances 30 preferably have semicircular section.
- the protuberances can thus be positioned so that the plane surfaces 34 of two adjacent protuberances 30 are oriented in the same direction of rotation around the core 12 (see FIG. 3).
- no plane face 34 is vis-à-vis another plane face 34.
- the molding of said protuberances 30 with the core 12 will be easy because it allows the use of molding drawers of simple shapes, all having substantially the same shape, and which are all oriented radially in the same direction.
- the protuberances 30 are here rectilinear and may, in addition, be substantially tapered from their base to their free end.
- said protuberances 30 each extend in a normal direction to the Y axis of the sleeve 14.
- the protuberances 30 will preferably come from the material of the core 12.
- the core 12 and the protuberances 30 may be molded of a material based on LDPE (low density polyethylene). Other materials may still be used, namely the "EXACT" material of ExxonMobil or the "HYTREL” material of Dupont, or a mixture of these materials.
- the applicator 10 forms, advantageously, a brush.
- first and second envelopes E1, E2 are in phase, from the proximal end 13 to the distal end 16; in other words, they follow the same profile, only the amplitude of the changing profile. In other words, they are homothetic.
- the alternation of the first and second rows is, in the present example, by circular permutation of a first row R3, R6, R9, R12 with two second rows R1, R2, R4, R5, R7 , R8, R10, R1 1.
- This example is not limiting and it is possible to alternate, by circular permutation, a first row with three second rows; even two first rows with three second rows.
- the invention also relates to an applicator assembly for a cosmetic product, comprising a container comprising a body forming a reservoir intended to contain the cosmetic product, and an applicator sub-assembly adapted to be fixed on the container, so that the applicator 10 is housed inside the tank.
- Said applicator 10 is fixed, for example, to the end of a rod (not shown), itself attached to a cap advantageously screwed to the container.
- the sleeve 14 is located in the rod and the proximal end 13 of the core forms the visible proximal end of the applicator.
- said container will also include a wiper (not shown).
- This wiper will have an internal diameter whose value is included between the maximum external space requirement DE1 of the first envelope E1 and the maximum external space requirement DE2 of the second envelope E2.
- the applicator of the invention has a different number of rows, ie lower - for example 9 rows, or higher - for example 18 rows.
