Description

Product application device, its production method and combined device

technical field

The invention relates to a device for applying a product, especially a cosmetic product and/or especially a make-up and/or care product. The product is to be applied to the skin or nails, or to keratinous fibers, especially hair, eyelashes or eyebrows.

Background technique

In the field of cosmetics, makeup artists are always looking for a new effect.

This is particularly the case in the field of mascaras, cosmetic products that enhance the curl or extension or a mixture of these different basic properties are sought to beautify the body or have a more natural effect.

The direction of development in the search for new applicators is dictated by the appearance of cosmetic products with new ingredients, since their rheology cannot be achieved by conventional applicators.

The patent documents are therefore patents which disclose devices aimed at producing new cosmetic effects or able to be applied to cosmetics with ingredients of special rheological power.

As examples, the devices described in such patents can be distinguished from one another in the following respects: the density and/or shape of their applicator members (usually fibers); their longitudinal or cross-sectional shape; and/or the state of composition of the natural materials in the applicator; the manner in which all or part of the applicator has been subjected to, or can be distinguished from any other component of the entire package and applicator assembly, where the applicator device has only one Components (such as wipers).

Thus, more specifically, French patent application A 2 668 905 describes a method of making a mascara brush which involves, after the brush has been twisted and trimmed into the desired shape, heating the tips of the fibers to melt them, and due to The polymeric material is close together, thus forming a small spherical swelling at the tip of the fiber. After these treatments the fibers are still substantially straight.

As another example, US patent application A 5 161 554 describes a mascara brush of the twisted brush type, in which the section of the fiber portion along the longitudinal axis is different. Fibers are zigzag or wavy. The result is that the fiber has a curvature that alternates from one direction to the other, with the radius of curvature changing between a maximum radius and a minimum radius at each curvature change.

A number of manipulations are described in this application, especially during or after extrusion of the fibers, to give them a desired shape.

The treated fibers are arranged in a conventional manner in a fiber layer which is inserted between two branches of a length of U-shaped metal wire. The two branches are then twisted relative to each other, causing the fibers to form a multi-turn helical arrangement.

From experience, people know that:

i) when deformation occurs during extrusion of the fibers, a large minimum bend is necessary due to the extrusion process itself, and

ii) When the deformation is the result of post-extrusion processing, they also have a large minimum bend, and if there is no such deformation, they are placed in layers in two layers of a certain length of U-shaped wire in an automatic manner. Between the branches and then twisting the two branches of the length of wire creates a big problem.

We also know that for mascara brushes are produced by moulding. The die is designed as the free end of the applicator part, which is generally straight, terminating in a fork or hook-shaped portion. Since these end portions are obtained by moulding, their relative orientation is predetermined. The results were disappointing from a cosmetic point of view. Also, a mold is required for each required type of makeup.

We also know that for mascara brushes, the free ends of the fibers are milled or ground to separate them into strands. A curved shape of the fiber section can be produced by this purely mechanical treatment. These curved sections, however, are strictly positioned at the ends of the fibers. Also, it is difficult to reduce the radius of curvature below 50mm.

With such radii of curvature, the results are less noticeable with respect to the cosmetic effects involved.

Contents of the invention

It is therefore an object of the present application to provide an applicator device, in particular an applicator device for applying cosmetic and/or care products, which solves all or all of the above-discussed problems with existing devices. Part of the problem.

In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide a device for applying cosmetic and/or care products, which represents an alternative solution from the point of view of achieving a certain cosmetic effect, or achieves a feasible and Different makeup effects in the traditional way.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device which is economical to use.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing applicators, in particular for producing applicators for care and/or cosmetic products, which can be carried out simply and economically on an industrial plant .

Other purposes will be apparent from the detailed description that follows.

According to the invention, these objects are achieved by providing a device for applying a product, in particular a cosmetic and/or care product, comprising an arrangement of polymer fibers having at least one free end, said fibers are assembled and secured to a support and, in at least some cases, include at least one bend, said fibers:

i) extend continuously from the support to one (or their) free end, and

ii) the average radius of curvature is less than 45 mm, and the curvatures are freely oriented relative to each other. By "continuous" is meant that there is no reversal in the direction of bending between the support and the free end.

This bending can be better obtained by heating all or part of the applicator assembly to a temperature above the glass transition temperature of the polymer forming the fiber that needs to be bent, and below the temperature of the polymer The melting point temperature in the case of a semi-crystalline polymer.

The heating process is adjusted to the material and diameter of the fibers to obtain the desired curvature and does not cause any material bonding together, as mentioned in the aforementioned French patent application A 2 688 905, capable of producing fibers Substantially shorten and change their cross-section, especially at the ends.

Effects above the limit of about 45 mm, especially cosmetic effects, may not be adequately considered, especially when the rheology of the applied product changes.

The large curvature of the fibers, even assuming a high fiber density, especially for each turn of this twisted mascara brush, allows the gap between two successive turns to be sufficiently reduced and the mixing effect to occur, thus preventing Makeup was splattered.

In fact, through the combination of the radius of curvature of the fibers and other parameters such as the density of the fibers, their diameter, their cross-sectional shape, or the shape of the brush, the makeup can be changed from very natural to thick and/or somewhat extended or curved coating effect.

Due to the considerable curvature, it is also possible, in case the applicator is intended for makeup, to obtain a new type of makeup compared to the type of applicator makeup of the traditional type, and in doing so the composition of the cosmetic is the same.

When applying nail polish or nail care ingredients with an applicator shaped like a paintbrush, the curvature of the fibers helps to keep them at a distance from each other, thus improving the retention between the paintbrush fibers. amount of product. Due to this fact, the amount carried in one swipe will be more.

Moreover, due to the special structure of the fiber clusters in this paint brush, a mottled effect is formed on the nails.

The fibers are preferably bent substantially continuously from the support to the respective free end. By "substantially continuous" is meant that the variation in curvature varies within a range of at most 15% around the mean, preferably up to 10% around said mean.

According to the invention, the applicator may be shaped in an arrangement of bristles substantially parallel to each other and, imitating the form of a toothbrush, extending perpendicularly to the axis of one of said supports. These applicators are usually combined with a product that comes pre-existing in a solid block that must be moistened before use.

The average radius of curvature of the curved portion is preferably between 2 mm and 40 mm. Preferably between 2 and 30 mm. More suitably, it is less than 20 mm and greater than 3 mm. More suitably, the radius of curvature is between 3 mm and 10 mm.

The fibers are advantageously made of a thermoplastic material, and especially of polyamide, or of a thermoplastic elastomer. Thermoplastic materials can be entirely amorphous or semi-crystalline.

By way of example, polyamide 6s such as that commercially available under the trade mark Polyamide Fiber (Tynex(R)) is mentioned.

The diameter of the fibers may be between 0.06 mm and 0.35 mm, preferably between 0.10 mm and 0.25 mm.

In a preferred embodiment, the applicator comprises a completely straight fiber or a partially straight fiber.

Optionally, it includes a first set of curved portions having a first average radius of curvature and a second set of curved portions having a different radius of curvature than the first set of radii of curvature.

The different radii of curvature of the first and second sets are the result of using fibers of the first and second type formed from different materials and having, inter alia, different glass transition temperatures.

However, these differences can equally be obtained with fibers formed from the same material. If you guess like this, there are many possibilities:

i) The heat treatment conditions of the two sets of curved parts formed are different according to the temperature or the length of heating, or

ii) The diameter and/or shape of the fibers forming the first set of bends is different from the diameter and/or shape of the fibers used to form the second set of bends.

Thus, solid or hollow bristles, or bristles of round, triangular, elongated or C-section or cloverleaf (four-leaved) section, can be used alone or in admixture. Other shapes can also be used.

When different groups of bends are mixed with each other, the bends help to create a special application effect, especially when it comes to cosmetics. When they are separated from each other, they can also be used in different sections of the area to be treated.

The support part is advantageously formed by a twisted core formed by two strands, in particular metal wires twisted relative to each other, the fibers being fixed between the two bent strands and extending radially relative to the twisted core, the means being Used to apply products to keratinous fibers, especially eyelashes or eyebrows.

For applicators in accordance with the preferred embodiments, each fiber is held in place substantially at its center by a twisted mandrel, the fiber comprising two parts extending from the support to its respective free end . From such an applicator it can be seen that:

i) the fibers of both parts are bent and have different or the same curvature; or

ii) One part of the fiber is bent and the other part is straight, or possibly,

iii) Both parts of the fiber are straight, mixing categories i) and ii) or both.

The fibers are preferably arranged in a helical form, the number of fibers per turn being between 5 and 80 and in particular between 10 and 45. The helical arrangement of the fibers may be more or less visible, or not at all, and the surface of the applicator varies with the degree of bending of the fibers.

The cross-section of the applicator device may be circular, or polygonal, especially triangular, square or pentagonal. Other shapes are also conceivable.

The twisted mandrel can be straight or curved.

The twisted mandrel has turns that rise from left to right when looking at the brush sideways in the vertical position. In this case, the brush is said to be "curved counterclockwise".

Alternatively, the torsion axis may have multiple turns rising from right to left when viewed sideways in a vertical position. In this case, the brush is said to be "clockwise bent".

When the applicator has multiple sets of bends of different curvature, the bends will blend with each other at the support.

Alternatively, different sets of curved portions may be placed at different points on the support portion.

In this case, the first and second sets of curved portions may be displaced along the longitudinal axis of the support portion.

Alternatively, they may be angularly displaced about the torsion axis.

According to another aspect of the invention there is also provided a method of producing a device for applying a product, and in particular a method of producing a device for applying a cosmetic and/or care product, comprising the following steps:

i) a fixed arrangement of polymer fibers on a support, and

ii) securing the fibers to the support by exposing at least some of the fibers to a temperature higher than the glass transition temperature of the forming polymer material for a period of time such that:

a) said fiber has at least one curved portion, and

b) The length of the fibers does not substantially change.

In the case of semi-crystalline materials, the fibers are heated to a temperature well below the melting point of the material from which they are formed.

The heating of the fibers can be accomplished by convection, and in particular by immersion in a heating liquid, or by contact with hot air, or by radiation, especially infrared radiation.

The heating is preferably by immersing the fibers in hot water heated to about 100 degrees Celsius. Such temperatures have proven suitable for polyamide 6 fibers, whose glass transition temperature is between 50 and 60 degrees Celsius and whose melting point is about 185 degrees Celsius.

The fibers are immersed in said liquid for a period of time ranging from 4 to 25 seconds and preferably 7 to 15 seconds.

Just a few hints that a twisted brush comprising polyamide 6 fibers with a diameter of 0.13 mm, the maximum curvature is obtained after 8 seconds in hot water at 100°C.

According to another aspect, the object of the invention is the packaging and application of a product, in particular a cosmetic assembly comprising

a) a container containing the product to be applied, and

b) An applicator device according to the invention.

The packaging and application combination may include a wiper which may pass through at least the applicator when it is withdrawn from the container so as to maintain a certain amount of product on or between the fibers to be metered.

Detailed ways

Figure 1 shows a brush 50 of the conventional type, typically used for eyelash and eyebrow makeup.

The brush 50 includes a twisted core 51 formed by bending a length of wire into a U shape and twisting, before twisting, a layer of bristles 52 is inserted between two branches of the wire. In response to the twisting motion, the bristles 52 form a helical configuration consisting of a series of turns of bristles separated by a greater or lesser distance therebetween. The bristles 52 extend radially outward from the support member and are either completely straight or at least have a large radius of curvature (greater than 60 mm).

The bristle-free portion of the torsion shaft portion 51 is fitted into the rod 53 . The end of the rod 53 facing away from the brush 50 is usually connected to a member (not shown) which forms an element which grips the brush 50 and an element which holds and closes the brush together.

Figure 2 shows a brush 1 of the same type as that in Figure 1 but according to the invention.

In the present embodiment, also just as the same mode that 50 shows among Fig. 1, when the brush 1 is vertically viewed from the side, because the circle of the torsion shaft core 3 rises from left to right, so the brush 1 is " Anti-clockwise twist" type.

In the same manner as the brush shown in FIG. 1 , the bristle-free part of the torsion core 3 is fitted at the end of the rod 4 . The brush torsion axis 3 is straight and extends along an axis X corresponding to the axis of the rod 4 .

The bristles 2 of this brush, unlike the bristles 52 shown in the previous figure, are curved along their entire length.

The average curvature of the bristles measured at 10x magnification with a profile projector is between 3 and 10 mm. The contour projector used is a contour projector sold by the company HAUSER ^(R) under the trade designation H562.

Although the bends of the fibers are freely oriented relative to each other, it has been pointed out that, in a preferred embodiment, the heat treatment of the fibers renders the curvature of the fibers substantially constant from the supporting end to the free end.

The following description will be made with reference to FIG. 11 , which illustrates the main steps in the production of a brush 1 of the type shown in FIG. 2 .

In a first step 200, the bristles are inserted in layers between two branches of a length of wire, and then the two branches of the wire are twisted. The result is a cylindrical bottle brush 201 with a diameter of approximately 15 mm.

The bottle brush 201 is trimmed (step 202) to a frusto-conical shape to fit the desired application. The diameter of the resulting brush 203, at its wider end, is about 7 to 8 mm. The bristles of the brush 203 remain substantially vertical.

In the next step 204, the brush 203 is immersed in water at 100 degrees Celsius for about 8 seconds.

The result is that the polymeric material is shaped which causes the fibers to be completely bent with an average radius of between about 3 and 10 mm.

The brush 1 is produced by the process described above with multiple turns of bristles which show no visible signs as a result of the freely oriented curvature mixing of its bristles 2 .

In a particular embodiment, the cross-section of the bristles is circular. Their diameter is about 0.13 mm and they are made of polyamide 6.

Each circle of the brush has 23 to 25 bristles.

A section through the brush 1 perpendicular to the axis X, as shown in FIG. 3A , is circular in shape.

In a variant shown in Figure 3B, the brush 1 is square in cross-section.

Another variant is shown in Figure 3C, where the brush 1 is triangular in cross-section.

The cross section of bristle 2 can be various shapes.

The cross-section of the bristle 2 in Fig. 4A is solid and circular.

The cross-sectional shape of the bristle 2 in FIG. 4B is a four-leaf clover shape.

The cross-sectional shape of the bristle 2 in FIG. 4C is triangular.

The cross-sectional shape of the bristles 2 in FIG. 4D is rice grain-like.

In Fig. 4E the bristles 2 are hollow and circular in cross section.

The sectional shape of the bristle 2 in FIG. 4F is C-shaped.

The brush 1 comprises bristles 2 with only one cross-sectional shape, or a mixture of bristles with different cross-sectional shapes.

In the variant shown in FIG. 5 , the brush 1 is heat treated as in step 204 of FIG. 11 only on one side of the twisted mandrel 2 and on the same side.

The result is a brush 1 with straight bristles on a portion 5 extending 180° around the core 3 and curved bristles 2 on the remaining portion 6 . Sections 5 and 6 each extend along the full length of brush 1 .

Section 5 is used to apply product to the eyelashes. Part 6 is used to separate the eyelashes.

In the variant shown in FIG. 6 , only the front half of the end of the brush 1 facing away from the rod 4 is heat treated in step 204 in FIG. 11 .

As a result, there are straight bristles 2 on the first shaft portion 5 which continues along the brush 1 for substantially half its length. The bristles 2 on the other shaft part 6 are curved.

As in the previously described embodiments, section 5 is used to apply product to the eyelashes. Part 6 is used to separate the eyelashes.

The variation of the brush 1 shown in FIG. 7 differs from the brush shown in FIG. 2 in that in FIG. 7 the torsion axis 3 is curved, the curvature substantially corresponding to the shallowness along the upper eyelashes of the eyelid.

The variation shown in Fig. 8 is different from the brush shown in Fig. 2, in Fig. 8 it is a "clockwise twisted brush" type, when the brush 1 is viewed from the side in a vertical position, the circle of the twisted shaft core 3 is from right to left rising.

Again the type of makeup obtained is different from that obtained with the brush shown in FIG. 2 .

In the embodiment shown in Figure 9, the application device 81 is configured in the form of a paintbrush to provide a glossy finish to the nail. It comprises a tuft of bristles 82 clamped into the end of a rod 83 having axis X. The bristles 82 are oriented substantially parallel to the axis X (at an angle of less than 45 degrees to the axis X)

The end of the rod 83 facing away from the tuft of bristles 82 is connected to a member 84 forming an element for holding the paint brush 81 and an element for sealing the container connected to the brush.

The curvature of the bristles 82 of the paint brush 81 can be made the same as the curvature of the bristles of the mascara brushes described in previous figures, just by immersing the paint brush 81 in water at 100 degrees Celsius for about 10 seconds.

Due to the curvature of the bristles 82, the paint brush can hold more product than if the bristles were straight. The duration of brushing once has also been extended accordingly.

In FIG. 10 there is shown a packaging and application assembly 100 incorporating an application device 1 of the type shown in FIGS. 2 to 8 . Assembly 100 includes a container 101 for containing cosmetics such as mascara; and an applicator 110 . The applicator 110 comprises an applicator device 1 which is of the twisted brush type and is fitted to one end of a rod 4 having an axis X, the other end of which is fixed to a handle element 7 which Element 7 forms a cap to seal container 101 . The container 101 comprises a wiper 106 formed in this case in a cylindrical sleeve and terminating at one end of a flexible annular rim 107 . When the applicator 110 is installed in the container 101, the entire applicator device 1 is placed between the wiper ring rim 107 and the end wall of the container. Other types of wipers may also be used, such as a piece of open or semi-open cell foam material through which a slot or channel passes axially, the slot and channel-defining rim being substantially in contact with each other in the unpressurized state.

To use the applicator, the user unscrews the cap formed by the handle member 7 and removes the applicator 110 from the container 101 . When this is done, the applicator 1 passes the wiper 106 to adjust the amount of product applied to the teeth or bristles. The direction in which the applicator is pulled is substantially perpendicular to the axis X. After use, the user repositions the applicator back into the container by passing the applicator device 1 through the wiper 106 again.

In the foregoing detailed description, reference has been made to preferred embodiments of the invention. It is clear that further changes can be made within the scope of protection of the following claims without departing from the scope of the invention.
