Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an applicator tube for liquid or semi-liquid cosmetic products, in particular for mascara.
  • European application N ° 0 320 363 describes a mascara tube which comprises a bottle part containing the mascara, which can be closed by a capsule to which is attached a rod comprising at its end a spiral brush allowing the application of said mascara on the eyelashes.
  • the entire product contained in the bottle can not be used, given the length of the rod and the diameter of the brush, resulting in a loss for the consumer.
  • the rod is always soiled by the product, which leads to a progressive fouling of the capsule and a risk of impaction of the end of the brush.
  • an applicator tube for liquid or semi-liquid cosmetic products comprising a container for the cosmetic product, a body external tubular, one end of which has a narrowing serving as a wiper for an applicator disposed at the end of a rod and inside the external body, below the narrowing characterized in that the applicator is disposed above '' a tubular part delimiting a cylindrical space, this tubular part coming to bear on a deformable part disposed at the upper end of the container provided at the lower part of the tubular body, which container is movable relatively with respect to the tubular part, while the deformable part is provided with connection orifices between this container and this cylindrical space for the passage of the cosmetic product during the relative movement of the container and the tubular part.
  • the applicator tube according to the invention further comprises an applicator of the cosmetic product adapted to the end of a rod and which may consist of a spiral brush, for the application of a mascara or a small sponge for the application. of a liquid lipstick killer product, called "lip gloss", said applicator being disposed, when the tube is closed, in a housing communicating with the mouth of a metering dispensing device.
  • the implementation of the device according to the invention is done by exerting pressure on the tube, for example on one of its ends, which causes the release of a dose of mascara, which leaves the container and spreads in the housing of the applicator by impregnating it, after which said applicator is extracted, which passes through a wringer.
  • the metering device used can be that described in French patent application 91/03079 filed by the applicants, a device which, in addition to its efficiency, reliability and low cost, can be produced in small dimensions and therefore can be integrated into an external body of the size with a pencil.
  • a tube with an extractable rod under the effect of a pressure exerted on the back of said tube, pressure which initially creates the dose and permeates the brush. mascara, and then extract the brush from the tube.
  • an applicator tube according to the invention comprises a tubular external body 1, one end of which is open and allows the introduction of a removable container 2 and the other end of which has a narrowing 10 of frustoconical shape constituting a wringer.
  • a capsule 3 secured to a rod 30, the end of which is provided with a spiral brush 31.
  • the brush 31 is housed inside the external body 1, below the wiper 10, in a longitudinally movable part 4, a part 40 of which surrounds said brush 31.
  • the lower end of the part 4 comprises a tubular part 41 which delimits a cylindrical space 42 and which, associated with a part 5 which can be deformed into elastomer, constitutes a metering device such as that described in French patent application 91/03079.
  • the part 5, which is of generally cylindrical shape comprises two concentric tubular parts 50 and 51 connected by an annular wall 52, the upper opening of the internal tubular part 51 being closed by a wall 53 pierced with orifices 54. L the end of the tubular part 41 of the part 4 is inserted between the two tubular parts 50 and 51 and bears on the annular wall 52.
  • the part 40 of the part 4 has longitudinal slots 44 making it possible to communicate the housing of the brush 31 with the external space 43 of the tubular part 41.
  • the use of the applicator tube is carried out, after removal of the cap 11 covering the capsule 3, by exerting a pressure on the capsule 3, which has the effect, during a first use, of expelling the air contained in the cylindrical space 42 while deforming the elastomer part 5, which, by resuming its initial shape when the pressure is released, creates a vacuum which sucks the mascara contained in the container 2 and fills the cylindrical space 42.
  • the mascara contained in the cylindrical space 42 spreads in the space 43 by passing through slots 45 formed in the tubular part 41 and by deforming the external tubular part 50, then, passing through the slots 44, permeates the brush 31 which can be extracted, the wiper 10 eliminating the excess mascara.
  • the tubular part 41 which is part of the metering device, associated with the deformable piece 5 of elastomer, is integral with the rod 30 but at the end opposite to that comprising the brush 31.
  • the container 2 When the container 2 is pressed, it initially moves longitudinally in the tubular body 1, pushing back the rod 30 and causing the brush 31 to be extracted from the tube, then in a second step, when the tubular part 41 comes into abutment on the part 4 ', part of which 40' houses the brush 31, the product contained in the cylindrical space 42 spreads in the interior space of the part 40 ' .
  • the container 2 When the container 2 is pressed, it initially moves longitudinally in the tubular body 1, pushing back the rod 30 and causing the brush 31 to be extracted from the tube, then in a second step, when the tubular part 41 comes into abutment on the part 4 ', part of which 40' houses the brush 31, the product contained in the cylindrical space 42 spreads in the interior space of the part 40 ' .
