Definitions
- This description relates to a device for removing mascara from eyelashes.
- this description relates to a device that allows an easy and efficient removal of mascara from the eyelashes without damaging the eyelashes themselves .
- mascara is a product widely used in the cosmetics field. It is well known that a mascara of good quality must be easy to apply on the eyelashes, must last for a long time, for example, should not become dry inside the container and must be resistant to moisture, temperature variations and tears.
- Cloths, discs or pieces of cotton are usually used to apply said solvents, on which the mascara remover is applied. It has been observed that the above method for removing mascara has various drawbacks. In fact, the mascara removal is often not perfect, mainly at the base of the eyelashes, creating the presence of granules of dry mascara that may accidentally end up in the eyes. In addition, there is often a risk that mascara removal is not perfect and that the mascara remains along the eyelashes and dries, thus making the subsequent application of the new mascara imperfect.
- a purpose of this invention is to propose a device which allows an optimal removal of mascara from the eyelashes, while avoiding the contact of chemicals with the eye.
- the patent application WO2007/096923 Al describes a device for removing mascara from eyelashes, comprising a support rod and mascara removal means comprising a plurality of perforated discs on one end of said support rod, said disks being superposed on each other and fixed to said support rod.
- the above discs are made of compressed cotton.
- FIG. 1 shows a plan view in front elevation of a first embodiment of a device for removing mascara from eyelashes ;
- FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a second embodiment of a device for removing mascara from eyelashes
- a first non-limiting embodiment is shown of a device 1 for removing mascara from eyelashes .
- the device 1 for removing mascara from eyelashes comprises a rod 3 having a first free end portion 4 and a second opposite end portion (not visible in the figures) .
- the device 1 for removing mascara from eyelashes also comprises a mascara remover head 2 coupled to the second opposite end portion.
- This remover head 2 includes and surrounds the aforesaid second opposite end portion and for this reason the latter is not visible in the figures.
- the mascara remover head 2 is made in a single piece and comprises a main body 5 made of an elastomeric material or a synthetic or natural sponge.
- the aforementioned elastomeric material is, for example, a synthetic rubber, a vulcanised latex foam or a polyurethane elastomer.
- the above-mentioned mascara remover head 2 has an overall length equal to 3 centimetres or about 3 centimetres.
- the overall length of the remover device 1 is equal to 11 centimetres or about 11 centimetres .
- said elastomeric material has a hardness in the range of 25°-80° Shore, extremes included.
- said elastomeric material is a polyurethane elastomer
- a non-limiting example of such material is the material having the trade name VulkollanTM produced by BayerTM.
- the main body 5 of the remover head 2 comprises an active outer surface having a plurality of distinct annular grooves 6, axially spaced, or a continuous spiral groove.
- the main body 5 has the form of a cylinder with a circular section, for example having a diameter equal to about 1 centimetre or approximately 1 centimetre .
- the above-mentioned active outer surface comprises eleven distinct axially spaced annular grooves 6.
- said distinct annular grooves 6 are preferably circular grooves concentric with each other.
- the above-mentioned active outer surface is a surface devoid of bristles.
- the annular grooves 6 or the continuous spiral groove are made in the thickness of the main body 5.
- said grooves 6 have a depth of between 0.5 and 5.5 millimetres and more preferably between 1.5 and 4.5 millimetres, for example equal to 3 millimetres.
- the grooves 6 have a width of between 0.5 and 1.5 millimetres and preferably equal to one millimetre. Preferably the distance between two adjacent annular grooves 6 is equal to twice the width of a groove.
- the grooves 6 are each delimited by a bottom wall and two side walls.
- the surface of the side walls and the bottom part is rough and/or porous.
- the roughness is preferably greater than 500 microns.
- the surface is porous, for example this is provided with porosity of dimension greater than 500 microns.
- a rough surface can be obtained by forming the main body 5 with a smooth outer surface and then etching the grooves 6. For example, first the main body 5 it can be made by moulding and then the grooves 6 may be etched by means of turning.
- the side walls of the grooves 6 are facing each other and are connected to the bottom wall.
- the mascara remover head 2 comprises an appendage 7 protruding from the opposite side to the rod 3 made in one piece with the main body 5.
- this protruding appendage 7 has the shape of a cone having a rounded tip.
- the protruding appendage 7 may have the shape of a truncated cone.
- aforesaid protruding appendage 7 it has a hemispherical shape.
- the removal of mascara with the device 1 is performed by rotating or, in general, by moving the rod 3 while the remover head 2 is in contact with the eyelashes.
- the side walls of the annular grooves 6 allow the removal of mascara from the eyelashes, while the bottom wall of the annular grooves 6 allows removal of mascara accumulated at the base of said eyelashes.
- the protruding appendage 7 allows removal of the pencil and of any traces of mascara on the inner edge of the eyelid.
- the rod 3 has a rectilinear shape.
- the rod 3 has a curved shape, for example an "S"-shape, so as to be ergonomic.
- the rod 3 may, for example, be made as a distinct piece from the remover head 2 and then the two parts can be permanently fixed to each other, for example with a glue.
- the rod 3 is engaged in a hole provided inside the main body 5 of the remover head 2.
- the rod 3 has a maximum cross-section smaller than the maximum cross-section of the remover head 2, for example not greater than 50% of the latter and preferably not greater than 30%.
