Description

APPLICATEUR POUR PRODUIT COSMETIQUE ET ENSEMBLE  APPLICATOR FOR COSMETIC PRODUCT AND ASSEMBLY

APPLICATEUR ASSOCIE APPLICATOR

DOMAINE DE L'INVENTION FIELD OF THE INVENTION

L'invention concerne un applicateur pour produit cosmétique et un ensemble d'applicateur associé.  The invention relates to an applicator for a cosmetic product and an associated applicator assembly.

ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUE STATE OF THE ART

On connaît des ensembles d'applicateur pour produit cosmétique, notamment pour produit cosmétique destiné à être appliqué sur les cils tel que du mascara, comprenant un récipient contenant le produit cosmétique et un applicateur adapté pour être fixé de manière amovible sur le récipient.  Cosmetic product applicator assemblies are known, in particular for a cosmetic product intended to be applied to eyelashes such as mascara, comprising a container containing the cosmetic product and an applicator adapted to be removably attached to the container.

Le récipient comprend généralement un corps, le corps comprenant des parois délimitant un réservoir dans lequel est contenu le produit cosmétique, et un goulot définissant une ouverture par laquelle le produit cosmétique peut être extrait.  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.

L'applicateur comprend généralement un bouchon servant de poignée et adapté pour être fixé sur le goulot, une tige s'étendant à partir du bouchon et une brosse fixée à une extrémité libre de la tige. La brosse comprend une âme et une pluralité de protubérances ou de poils s'étendant à partir de l'âme.  The applicator generally includes a cap as a handle and adapted to be attached to the neck, a stem extending from the plug and a brush attached to a free end of the stem. The brush comprises a core and a plurality of protuberances or bristles extending from the core.

Lorsque le bouchon est fixé sur le goulot, la tige et la brosse s'étendent à l'intérieur du réservoir. La brosse est immergée dans le produit cosmétique contenu dans le réservoir.  When the cap is attached to the neck, the rod and the brush extend into the tank. The brush is immersed in the cosmetic product contained in the reservoir.

Pour utiliser l'applicateur, l'utilisateur détache le bouchon du goulot et extrait l'applicateur du récipient.  To use the applicator, the user detaches the neck cap and extracts the applicator from the container.

Pour éviter que la brosse ne soit trop chargée en produit cosmétique, le récipient comprend généralement une bague d'essorage, fixée à l'intérieur du goulot. Lorsque l'utilisateur extrait l'applicateur du récipient, l'applicateur coulisse à l'intérieur de la bague d'essorage. La bague d'essorage racle le produit cosmétique en excès sur la tige et sur la brosse.  To avoid that the brush is too much loaded cosmetic product, the container generally comprises a spin ring, attached to the inside of the neck. When the user extracts the applicator from the container, the applicator slides inside the spin ring. The spin ring scrapes the excess cosmetic product on the stem and on the brush.

La bague d'essorage permet ainsi de régler la quantité de produit présent sur la brosse et évite une application excessive de produit cosmétique sur les cils.  The spin ring thus makes it possible to adjust the amount of product present on the brush and avoids excessive application of cosmetic product on the eyelashes.

FEU ILLE DE REM PLACEM ENT (RÈG LE 26) Toutefois, la bague d'essorage ne permet pas de supprimer le produit cosmétique en excès présent sur l'extrémité de la brosse. FIRE ILLE DE REM PLACEM ENT (RULE 26) However, the spin ring does not remove the excess cosmetic product present on the end of the brush.

Ainsi, un résidu de produit cosmétique peut subsister sur l'extrémité de la brosse, ce qui est peu esthétique et peut nuire à la qualité de l'application du produit cosmétique.  Thus, a cosmetic product residue can remain on the end of the brush, which is unattractive and can affect the quality of the application of the cosmetic product.

RESUME DE L'INVENTION SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Un but de l'invention est de limiter le dépôt de produit cosmétique sur l'extrémité de la brosse.  An object of the invention is to limit the deposition of cosmetic product on the end of the brush.

Ce problème est résolu dans le cadre de la présente invention grâce à un applicateur pour produit cosmétique comprenant une brosse, la brosse comprenant :  This problem is solved in the context of the present invention with an applicator for a cosmetic product comprising a brush, the brush comprising:

- une âme présentant une première extrémité propre à être fixée à une tige d'applicateur, et une deuxième extrémité libre, l'âme comprenant une portion renflée, une cavité interne à l'intérieur de la portion renflée, et un orifice d'extrémité située à la deuxième extrémité et communiquant avec la cavité interne, et  a core having a first end adapted to be fixed to an applicator rod, and a second free end, the core comprising a bulged portion, an internal cavity inside the bulged portion, and an end orifice; located at the second end and communicating with the internal cavity, and

- une pluralité de protubérances s'étendant en saillie à partir de l'âme,  a plurality of protuberances extending projecting from the core,

dans lequel lorsque l'applicateur est déplacé à travers une bague d'essorage, la portion renflée est apte à être successivement comprimée pour diminuer le volume de la cavité interne, puis dilatée pour augmenter le volume de la cavité interne de manière à aspirer par l'orifice d'extrémité un résidu de produit cosmétique se trouvant sur la deuxième extrémité.  wherein when the applicator is moved through a wiper ring, the bulged portion is adapted to be successively compressed to decrease the volume of the internal cavity, and then expanded to increase the volume of the internal cavity so as to suck through the end port a cosmetic product residue on the second end.

L'applicateur proposé permet de limiter la présence de résidu de produit cosmétique en extrémité de la brosse. Ainsi, la brosse reste propre et le produit cosmétique peut être appliqué sur les cils avec une bonne précision et sans surcharge.  The proposed applicator makes it possible to limit the presence of cosmetic product residue at the end of the brush. Thus, the brush remains clean and the cosmetic product can be applied to the eyelashes with good accuracy and without overload.

L'applicateur peut en outre présenter les caractéristiques suivantes :  The applicator may further have the following characteristics:

- la portion renflée comprend une paroi présentant au moins une ouverture latérale pour conférer de la souplesse à la portion renflée, - l'ouverture présente une forme allongée, selon une direction longitudinale de l'âme, the bulged portion comprises a wall having at least one lateral opening for imparting flexibility to the bulged portion, the opening has an elongated shape, in a longitudinal direction of the core,

- la paroi de la portion renflée comprend une pluralité d'ouvertures latérales,  the wall of the bulged portion comprises a plurality of lateral openings,

- les ouvertures latérales se font face deux à deux,  the lateral openings face each other in pairs,

- l'âme comprend deux portions renflées,  the soul comprises two bulging portions,

- l'âme comprend une portion amincie,  the soul comprises a thinned portion,

- la brosse comprend des protubérances s'étendant en saillie de la portion renflée avec une première densité, et des protubérances s'étendant en saillie de la portion amincie avec une deuxième densité, supérieure à la première densité,  the brush comprises protuberances projecting from the bulged portion with a first density, and protuberances projecting from the thinned portion with a second density, greater than the first density,

- la brosse comprend des protubérances s'étendant en saillie de la portion amincie, les protubérances présentant une forme de demi-cône, the brush comprises protuberances projecting from the thinned portion, the protuberances having a shape of a half-cone,

- ces protubérances sont positionnées de sorte que des surfaces planes de deux protubérances adjacentes soient orientées dans des directions opposées. these protuberances are positioned so that flat surfaces of two adjacent protuberances are oriented in opposite directions.

L'invention concerne également un ensemble applicateur pour produit cosmétique, comprenant :  The invention also relates to an applicator assembly for a cosmetic product, comprising:

- un récipient comprenant un corps formant un réservoir contenant le produit cosmétique, et  a container comprising a body forming a reservoir containing the cosmetic product, and

- un applicateur tel que défini précédemment adapté pour être fixé sur le récipient, de sorte que la brosse est logée à l'intérieur du réservoir.  - An applicator as defined above adapted to be fixed on the container, so that the brush is housed inside the tank.

DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE D'UN MODE DE REALISATION DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF AN EMBODIMENT

Sur la figure 1 , l'ensemble applicateur 1 représenté comprend un récipient 2 contenant un produit cosmétique 3 et un applicateur 4 adapté pour être fixé de manière amovible sur le récipient 2.  In FIG. 1, the applicator assembly 1 represented comprises a receptacle 2 containing a cosmetic product 3 and an applicator 4 adapted to be removably attached to the receptacle 2.

Le récipient 2 comprend un corps 5 et un goulot 6. Le corps 5 présente une forme générale allongée et comprend des parois 7 délimitant un réservoir 8 dans lequel est contenu le produit cosmétique. Le goulot 6 comprend une surface externe 9 présentant un filetage.  The container 2 comprises a body 5 and a neck 6. The body 5 has a generally elongated shape and comprises walls 7 defining a reservoir 8 in which the cosmetic product is contained. The neck 6 comprises an outer surface 9 having a thread.

Le récipient 2 comprend également une bague d'essorage 10. La bague d'essorage 10 est positionnée à l'intérieur du goulot 6. La bague d'essorage 10 présente une forme générale tubulaire. La bague d'essorage 10 comprend une portion principale cylindrique 1 1 s'étendant à l'intérieur du goulot 6, un épaulement 12 propre à venir en appui sur un rebord 13 du goulot 6 pour bloquer la bague d'essorage dans le goulot et une portion amincie 14 dont le diamètre va en diminuant vers l'intérieur du réservoir 8.  The container 2 also comprises a spin ring 10. The spin ring 10 is positioned inside the neck 6. The spin ring 10 has a generally tubular shape. The spin ring 10 comprises a cylindrical main portion 1 1 extending inside the neck 6, a shoulder 12 adapted to bear on a rim 13 of the neck 6 to lock the spin ring in the neck and a thinned portion 14 whose diameter decreases towards the inside of the tank 8.

L'applicateur 4 comprend une poignée 15, une tige 16 et une brosse 17.  The applicator 4 comprises a handle 15, a rod 16 and a brush 17.

La poignée 15 comprend une surface interne 18 présentant un filetage. Le filetage de la poignée 15 est propre à coopérer avec le filetage du goulot 6 de manière à permettre une fixation de l'applicateur 4 sur le récipient 2. De cette manière la poignée 15 fait office de bouchon pour fermer de manière étanche le récipient 2. La tige 16 présente une forme cylindrique allongée et comprend une première extrémité 19 fixée à la poignée 15 et une deuxième extrémité 20 sur laquelle est attachée la brosse 17. The handle 15 includes an inner surface 18 having a thread. The thread of the handle 15 is adapted to cooperate with the thread of the neck 6 so as to allow attachment of the applicator 4 on the container 2. In this way the handle 15 acts as a cap to seal the container 2 . The rod 16 has an elongate cylindrical shape and comprises a first end 19 fixed to the handle 15 and a second end 20 on which the brush 17 is attached.

La brosse 17 est formée en une seule pièce de matière, par exemple par moulage par injection de matière plastique.  The brush 17 is formed in a single piece of material, for example by plastic injection molding.

La brosse 17 est formée en une seule pièce de matière, par moulage d'un matériau approprié choisi (par exemple) parmi : un élastomère thermoplastique polyester, tel qu'un Hytrel® commercialisé par la société DuPont, un élastomère thermoplastique polyuréthane, tel qu'un Pellethane® commercialisé par la société Dow, un mélange de matériaux thermoplastiques, tel qu'un T-BLEND® commercialisé par la société TSRC, comprenant principalement du poly(styrène-butadiène-styrène) (SBS) ou du poly(styrène-éthylène-butylène-styrène) (SEBS), un polyéthylène basse densité (LDPE), ou un copolymère éthylène-alpha-oléfine, tel qu'un Exact® commercialisé par la société ExxonMobil.  The brush 17 is formed in one piece of material, by molding a suitable material chosen (for example) from: a thermoplastic polyester elastomer, such as a Hytrel® sold by DuPont, a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, such as a Pellethane® marketed by the company Dow, a mixture of thermoplastic materials, such as a T-BLEND® sold by the company TSRC, mainly comprising poly (styrene-butadiene-styrene) (SBS) or poly (styrene); ethylene-butylene-styrene) (SEBS), a low-density polyethylene (LDPE), or an ethylene-alpha-olefin copolymer, such as Exact® sold by ExxonMobil.

Lorsque la poignée 15 est vissée sur le goulot 6 du récipient 2, la tige 16 et la brosse 17 s'étendent à l'intérieur du réservoir 8, la brosse 17 plongeant dans le produit cosmétique.  When the handle 15 is screwed onto the neck 6 of the container 2, the rod 16 and the brush 17 extend inside the reservoir 8, the brush 17 immersed in the cosmetic product.

En utilisation, l'utilisateur dévisse la poignée 15 du goulot 6 et extrait l'applicateur 4 du récipient 2. Lors de cette extraction, l'applicateur 4 coulisse à travers la bague d'essorage 10. Le déplacement de l'applicateur 4 à travers la bague d'essorage 10 a pour effet que la portion amincie 14 de la bague d'essorage 10 racle le produit cosmétique en excès présent sur la tige 16 et sur la brosse 17.  In use, the user unscrews the handle 15 of the neck 6 and extracts the applicator 4 from the container 2. During this extraction, the applicator 4 slides through the spin ring 10. The displacement of the applicator 4 to through the spin ring 10 has the effect that the thinned portion 14 of the spin ring 10 scrapes the excess cosmetic product present on the rod 16 and the brush 17.

Comme cela est illustré sur les figures 2A à 6B, la brosse 17 comprend une âme 21 s'étendant selon une direction longitudinale X de la brosse 17 et une pluralité de protubérances sous la forme de picots 22 s'étendant en saillie à partir de l'âme 21 dans des directions sensiblement radiales.  As illustrated in FIGS. 2A-6B, the brush 17 comprises a core 21 extending in a longitudinal direction X of the brush 17 and a plurality of protuberances in the form of spikes 22 projecting from the spine. 21 in substantially radial directions.

L'âme 21 présente une première extrémité 23 propre à être fixée sur la tige 16 d'applicateur et une deuxième extrémité 24 libre.  The core 21 has a first end 23 adapted to be fixed on the applicator rod 16 and a second end 24 free.

De plus, l'âme 21 comprend une première portion renflée 25, une deuxième portion renflée 26 et une portion amincie 27. La portion amincie 27 s'étend entre les deux portions renflées 25 et 26 long de l'axe X. Chaque portion renflée 25, 26 présente une surface externe bombée. La portion amincie 27 présente une surface externe en dépression. In addition, the core 21 comprises a first bulged portion 25, a second bulged portion 26 and a thinned portion 27. The thinned portion 27 extends between the two bulged portions 25 and 26 along the axis X. Each bulged portion 25, 26 has a curved outer surface. The thinned portion 27 has an external surface in depression.

Chaque portion renflée 25, 26 présente une section transversale (dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe X) ayant un diamètre externe supérieur au diamètre externe d'une section transversale de la portion amincie 27.  Each bulged portion 25, 26 has a cross section (in a plane perpendicular to the X axis) having an outer diameter greater than the outer diameter of a cross section of the thinned portion 27.

De plus, comme cela apparaît sur la figure 5, l'âme 21 de la brosse 17 est creuse. Plus précisément, l'âme 21 comprend un canal longitudinal 28 ménagé à l'intérieur de l'âme 21 et s'étendant le long de la direction longitudinale X de l'âme 21 de la première extrémité 23 à la deuxième extrémité 24. Le canal longitudinal 28 forme une cavité interne à l'intérieur de l'âme 21 . Le canal 28 s'étend de manière continue à travers la première portion renflée 25, la portion amincie 27 et la deuxième portion renflée 26 successivement. De plus, le canal 28 débouche au niveau de la deuxième extrémité 24 par un orifice d'extrémité 29.  In addition, as shown in Figure 5, the core 21 of the brush 17 is hollow. More specifically, the core 21 comprises a longitudinal channel 28 formed inside the core 21 and extending along the longitudinal direction X of the core 21 of the first end 23 to the second end 24. longitudinal channel 28 forms an internal cavity inside the core 21. The channel 28 extends continuously through the first bulged portion 25, the thinned portion 27 and the second bulged portion 26 successively. In addition, the channel 28 opens at the second end 24 through an end port 29.

Comme cela apparaît sur la figure 6A, les portions renflées 25 et 26 présentent chacune une paroi 57 et 58 entourant le canal longitudinal 28 et présentant une première épaisseur E. La portion amincie 27 présente une paroi 59 entourant le canal longitudinal 28 et présentant une deuxième épaisseur e, inférieure à la première épaisseur.  As shown in FIG. 6A, the bulged portions 25 and 26 each have a wall 57 and 58 surrounding the longitudinal channel 28 and having a first thickness E. The thinned portion 27 has a wall 59 surrounding the longitudinal channel 28 and having a second thickness e, less than the first thickness.

Chaque portion renflée 25, 26 de l'âme 21 comprend une pluralité d'ouvertures latérales respectivement 30 à 33 et 34 à 37, tandis que la portion amincie 27 de l'âme 21 est dépourvue d'ouvertures latérales.  Each enlarged portion 25, 26 of the core 21 comprises a plurality of lateral openings 30 to 33 and 34 to 37 respectively, while the thinned portion 27 of the core 21 is devoid of lateral openings.

Chaque ouverture latérale 30 à 37 présente une forme allongée (ou oblongue) et s'étend selon une direction parallèle à la direction longitudinale X de la brosse.  Each side opening 30 to 37 has an elongated (or oblong) shape and extends in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction X of the brush.

Les ouvertures latérales 30 à 37 confèrent aux portions renflées 25, 26 de la souplesse, ce qui permet aux portions renflées de se déformer lorsqu'elles sont sollicitées par la bague d'essorage du récipient 2 lors du passage de la brosse 17 à travers la bague d'essorage.. Les ouvertures latérales 30 à 33 et 34 à 37 sont réparties autour de l'âme 21 , en étant espacées angulairement avec un angle constant entre deux ouvertures latérales successives. The lateral openings 30 to 37 give the bulged portions 25, 26 of the flexibility, which allows the bulged portions to deform when they are urged by the wiper ring of the container 2 during the passage of the brush 17 through the spin ring .. The lateral openings 30 to 33 and 34 to 37 are distributed around the core 21, being angularly spaced at a constant angle between two successive lateral openings.

Plus précisément, dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures, chaque portion renflée 25 et 26 comprend quatre ouvertures latérales respectivement 30 à 33 et 34 à 37. Les ouvertures latérales respectivement 30 à 33 et 34 à 37 sont espacées entre elles avec un intervalle angulaire de 90 degrés.  More specifically, in the embodiment illustrated in the figures, each bulged portion 25 and 26 comprises four lateral openings respectively 30 to 33 and 34 to 37. The lateral openings 30 to 33 and 34 to 37, respectively, are spaced apart with an interval angular 90 degrees.

Les ouvertures latérales 30 à 33 et 34 à 37 communiquent avec le canal longitudinal 28, favorisant ainsi une pénétration et une circulation du produit cosmétique à l'intérieur de la brosse 17.  The lateral openings 30 to 33 and 34 to 37 communicate with the longitudinal channel 28, thus promoting penetration and circulation of the cosmetic product inside the brush 17.

De plus, les ouvertures latérales 30 à 33 et 34 à 37 se font face deux à deux, de sorte que l'âme 21 peut être traversée latéralement par la lumière. Cette caractéristique permet à l'utilisateur de mieux percevoir les reliefs de la brosse 17.  In addition, the lateral openings 30 to 33 and 34 to 37 face each other in pairs, so that the core 21 can be traversed laterally by the light. This feature allows the user to better perceive the reliefs of the brush 17.

Par ailleurs, la brosse 17 comprend plusieurs rangées longitudinales de picots, incluant les rangées 38 à 45 de picots épais et des rangées 46 à 53 de picots fins. Plus précisément, la brosse comprend huit rangées 38 à 45 de picots épais et huit rangées 46 à 53 de picots fins.  Furthermore, the brush 17 comprises several longitudinal rows of pins, including the rows 38 to 45 of thick pins and rows 46 to 53 of fine pins. More specifically, the brush comprises eight rows 38 to 45 of thick pins and eight rows 46 to 53 of fine pins.

Chaque picot épais présente une forme générale de cône.  Each thick pin has a general cone shape.

Chaque rangée 37 à 45 de picots épais s'étend sensiblement parallèlement à la direction longitudinale X de la brosse 17 de manière continue tout le long de la première partie renflée 25, de la partie amincie 27 et de la deuxième partie renflée 26.  Each row 37 to 45 of thick pins extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction X of the brush 17 continuously along the first enlarged portion 25, the thinned portion 27 and the second enlarged portion 26.

Comme cela est visible sur les figures 2A et 3A, les rangées 38 à 45 de picots épais sont agencées par paires, et les rangées d'une même paire s'étendent de part et d'autre des ouvertures latérales 30 à 33 et 34 à 37 de manière symétrique par rapport à ces ouvertures.  As can be seen in FIGS. 2A and 3A, the rows 38 to 45 of thick spikes are arranged in pairs, and the rows of one and the same pair extend on either side of the lateral openings 30 to 33 and 34 to 37 symmetrically with respect to these openings.

De plus, la brosse 17 comprend, entre deux ouvertures latérales successives, deux rangées de picots épais. Les picots épais d'une rangée sont positionnés en quinconce avec les picots épais de la rangée adjacente.  In addition, the brush 17 comprises, between two successive lateral openings, two rows of thick pins. The thick pins of one row are staggered with the thick pins of the adjacent row.

Chaque rangée 46 à 53 de picots fins s'étend parallèlement à la direction longitudinale X de la brosse 17, uniquement le long de la portion amincie 27 de l'âme 21 . Les rangées 46 à 53 de picots fins situées sur la portion amincie 27 s'étendent dans le prolongement des ouvertures latérales 30 à 33 et 34 à 37 des portions renflées 25, 26. Each row 46 to 53 of fine pins extends parallel to the longitudinal direction X of the brush 17, only along the portion thinned 27 of the soul 21. The rows 46 to 53 of fine pins located on the thinned portion 27 extend in the extension of the lateral openings 30 to 33 and 34 to 37 of the bulged portions 25, 26.

Ainsi, la densité de picots au niveau de la portion amincie 27 est supérieure à la densité de picots au niveau des portions renflées 25 et 26.  Thus, the density of spikes at the thinned portion 27 is greater than the density of spikes at the bulged portions 25 and 26.

La présence d'une densité de picots supérieure procure un meilleur peignage des cils au niveau de la portion amincie et évite un excès de formule au milieu de la brosse.  The presence of an upper pin density provides better combing of the eyelashes at the thinned portion and avoids an excess of formula in the middle of the brush.

De plus, comme cela est illustré sur les figures 2B et 2C, chaque picot fin présentent une forme en demi-cône, avec une face plane 55 et une face bombée 56. Les rangées 46 à 53 de picots fins sont disposées par paires, avec les faces bombées 54 des picots de deux rangées adjacentes se faisant face. Autrement dit, les faces planes 55 des picots de deux rangées adjacentes sont orientées dans des directions opposées.  Moreover, as illustrated in FIGS. 2B and 2C, each fine pin has a half-cone shape, with a planar face 55 and a curved face 56. The rows 46 to 53 of fine pins are arranged in pairs, with the curved faces 54 of the pins of two adjacent rows facing each other. In other words, the flat faces 55 of the pins of two adjacent rows are oriented in opposite directions.

Cette disposition des picots facilite le moulage de la brosse, puisqu'il est permis d'utiliser un moule comprenant des tiroirs d'épaisseur plus importante que si les picots étaient disposés avec leurs faces planes se faisant face.  This arrangement of the pins facilitates the molding of the brush, since it is allowed to use a mold with drawers of greater thickness than if the pins were arranged with their flat faces facing each other.

Par ailleurs, les picots s'étendant à partir de la portion amincie 27 de l'âme 21 sont orientés selon des directions radiales par rapport à la direction longitudinale X de la brosse 17, tandis que les picots s'étendant à partir des portions renflées 25, 26 de l'âme 21 , forment un angle non-nul avec les directions radiales. En particulier, comme cela est visible sur la figure 6B, les picots s'étendant à partir d'une portion renflée 25, 26 forment un angle d'environ 10 degrés avec la direction radiale.  Furthermore, the pins extending from the thinned portion 27 of the core 21 are oriented in radial directions with respect to the longitudinal direction X of the brush 17, while the pins extending from the bulging portions 25, 26 of the core 21, form a non-zero angle with the radial directions. In particular, as can be seen in FIG. 6B, the spikes extending from a bulged portion 25, 26 form an angle of about 10 degrees with the radial direction.

Cette disposition des picots sur les portions renflées 25, 26, permet une meilleure séparation des cils sur les côtés de la brosse lors de l'application du produit cosmétique.  This arrangement of the pins on the bulged portions 25, 26, allows a better separation of the eyelashes on the sides of the brush during the application of the cosmetic product.

En utilisation, lorsque l'applicateur est extrait du récipient, la brosse 17 coulisse à travers la bague d'essorage 10. La première portion renflée 25, la portion amincie 27 et la deuxième portion renflée 26 coulissent successivement à travers la bague d'essorage 10. Les dimensions de la bague d'essorage 10 sont telles que, au cours de son passage à travers la bague d'essorage, chaque portion renflée 25, 26 est successivement comprimée puis dilatée. In use, when the applicator is removed from the container, the brush 17 slides through the spin ring 10. The first bulged portion 25, the thinned portion 27 and the second bulged portion 26 slide successively through the spin ring 10. The dimensions of the wiper ring 10 are such that, during its passage through the wiper ring, each bulged portion 25, 26 is successively compressed and then expanded.

La portion renflée 25 (respectivement 26) est d'abord comprimée, ce qui a pour effet de déformer la portion renflée en diminuant le volume de la cavité interne 28 de l'âme 21 . Cela a pour conséquence de chasser du produit cosmétique contenu dans la cavité interne à travers les ouvertures latérale 30 à 33 (respectivement 34 à 47) et l'orifice d'extrémité 29 ; Cela permet d'éviter de prélever une trop grande quantité de produit cosmétique, sans toutefois éliminer complètement le produit cosmétique contenu à l'intérieur de la cavité interne 28.  The bulged portion 25 (respectively 26) is first compressed, which has the effect of deforming the bulged portion by decreasing the volume of the internal cavity 28 of the core 21. This has the consequence of driving the cosmetic product contained in the internal cavity through the lateral openings 30 to 33 (respectively 34 to 47) and the end port 29; This makes it possible to avoid taking too large a quantity of cosmetic product, without, however, completely eliminating the cosmetic product contained inside the internal cavity 28.

Une fois passée à travers la bague d'essorage 10, la portion renflée 25 (respectivement 26) tend à reprendre spontanément sa forme initiale du fait de son élasticité. La portion renflée se dilate, ce qui a pour effet d'augmenter le volume de la cavité interne 28. L'augmentation du volume de la cavité interne 28 crée une dépression à l'intérieur de la cavité 28 de sorte qu'un éventuel résidu de produit cosmétique qui se serait déposé sur la deuxième extrémité 24 de la brosse 17 est aspiré par l'orifice 29 vers l'intérieur de la cavité interne 28.  Once passed through the spin ring 10, the bulged portion 25 (respectively 26) tends to spontaneously return to its original shape because of its elasticity. The bulged portion expands, which has the effect of increasing the volume of the internal cavity 28. The increase in the volume of the internal cavity 28 creates a depression inside the cavity 28 so that any residue of cosmetic product that would have deposited on the second end 24 of the brush 17 is sucked through the orifice 29 towards the inside of the internal cavity 28.

La brosse 17 reste propre et le produit cosmétique peut être appliqué sur les cils avec une bonne précision et sans surcharge.  The brush 17 remains clean and the cosmetic product can be applied to the eyelashes with good accuracy and without overloading.
