Description

La présente invention concerne les dispositifs de conditionnement et d'application d'un produit, notamment un produit cosmétique et/ou de soin destiné à être appliqué sur les cils et/ou les sourcils.The present invention relates to devices for packaging and application of a product, in particular a cosmetic and / or care product intended to be applied to the eyelashes and / or the eyebrows.

Il est connu d'utiliser des éléments chauffants pour recourber les cils. Des dispositifs comportant de tels éléments chauffants sont décrits notamment dans le brevet européen EP 0 848 920 , les brevets US 5 853 010 et US 6 009 884 et la demande de brevet FR 2 743 991 .It is known to use heating elements to curl eyelashes. Devices comprising such heating elements are described in particular in the patent European EP 0 848 920 , the US Patents 5,853,010 and US 6,009,884 and the patent application FR 2,743,991 .

Par ailleurs, le brevet US 5 775 344 décrit un dispositif de conditionnement et d'application comportant un élément chauffant pour élever la température d'un produit cosmétique contenu dans un récipient.Moreover, US Patent 5,775,344 discloses a conditioning and application device comprising a heating element for raising the temperature of a cosmetic product contained in a container.

La demanderesse a mis au point des produits destinés à l'application sur les cils et/ou les sourcils qui nécessitent d'être exposés in situ à la chaleur dégagée par un élément chauffant pour exprimer toutes leurs propriétés et/ou permettre de nouveaux effets de maquillage.The Applicant has developed products intended for application to eyelashes and / or eyebrows that need to be exposed in situ to the heat generated by a heating element to express all their properties and / or to allow new effects of makeup.

Une difficulté apparaît lorsque ces produits contiennent un composé volatil tel qu'un solvant, qui tend à s'évaporer rapidement sous l'action de la chaleur. En effet, ce composé volatil ne doit pas subir d'évaporation prématurée préalablement à l'application sous peine de ne pas permettre l'application du produit dans des conditions optimales.A difficulty arises when these products contain a volatile compound such as a solvent, which tends to evaporate quickly under the action of heat. Indeed, this volatile compound must not undergo premature evaporation prior to application under pain of not allowing the application of the product under optimal conditions.

Face à cette difficulté, il est possible d'utiliser pour l'application du produit un applicateur conventionnel dépourvu d'élément chauffant puis d'utiliser ensuite l'élément chauffant d'un dispositif connu servant à recourber les cils, mais cela complique la gestuelle d'utilisation.Faced with this difficulty, it is possible to use for the application of the product a conventional applicator devoid of heating element and then to use the heating element of a known device used to curl the eyelashes, but this complicates the gesture use.

La présente invention vise à simplifier la gestuelle d'utilisation tout en permettant au produit d'être appliqué sur les cils et/ou les sourcils avec un minimum de dégradation de ses propriétés.The present invention aims to simplify the use of gestures while allowing the product to be applied to the eyelashes and / or the eyebrows with a minimum of degradation of its properties.

L'invention a ainsi pour objet un dispositif de conditionnement et d'application, comportant :

  • un récipient contenant le produit à appliquer,
  • un applicateur configuré pour prélever du produit dans le récipient, cet applicateur comportant un élément d'application et un élément chauffant s'étendant au moins en partie le long de l'élément d'application,
  • un essoreur pour essorer l'applicateur lors de son retrait du récipient,
ce dispositif étant caractérisé par le fait que l'élément d'application et l'élément chauffant sont disposés au moins partiellement avec un écartement entre eux lorsque l'applicateur est complètement hors du récipient et par le fait que l'applicateur est configuré de telle sorte que l'élément d'application et l'élément chauffant puissent se rapprocher élastiquement l'un de l'autre au franchissement de l'essoreur.The subject of the invention is thus a device for packaging and application, comprising:
  • a container containing the product to be applied,
  • an applicator configured to take product from the container, said applicator having an applicator element and a heating element extending at least partly along the applicator element,
  • a wringer for dewatering the applicator when it is removed from the container,
this device being characterized in that the applicator element and the heating element are arranged at least partially with a spacing between them when the applicator is completely out of the container and in that the applicator is configured such that so that the application element and the heating element can be elastically closer to each other when crossing the wiper.

L'écartement entre l'élément d'application et l'élément chauffant qui existe lorsque l'applicateur est hors du récipient permet de réduire le transfert thermique de l'élément chauffant vers l'élément d'application, donc de diminuer l'échauffement du produit présent sur l'élément d'application avant que ce produit ne soit déposé sur la zone à traiter. Grâce au fait que l'élément d'application et l'élément chauffant peuvent se rapprocher élastiquement au franchissement de l'essoreur, l'invention permet néanmoins à l'applicateur, malgré cet écartement, de pouvoir être introduit puis extrait du récipient pour prélever du produit dans celui-ci.The gap between the applicator element and the heating element that exists when the applicator is out of the container makes it possible to reduce the heat transfer of the heating element towards the application element, thus reducing the heating. of the product present on the application element before this product is deposited on the area to be treated. Due to the fact that the application element and the heating element can be elastically closer to the crossing of the wiper, the invention nevertheless allows the applicator, despite this separation, to be introduced and extracted from the container to collect of the product in it.

L'invention permet notamment d'éviter, lorsque le produit contient un composé volatil, que celui-ci ne s'évapore outre mesure avant d'être appliqué sur la zone à traiter.The invention makes it possible in particular to avoid, when the product contains a volatile compound, that it evaporates unduly before being applied to the area to be treated.

Lorsque le produit présente un changement de ses propriétés avec la température, l'invention peut permettre d'éviter que les propriétés du produit se soient modifiées outre mesure avant l'application.When the product exhibits a change in its properties with temperature, the invention may make it possible to prevent the properties of the product from being unduly modified before application.

Dans un exemple de réalisation, l'élément d'application comporte une brosse, par exemple une brosse comportant une âme torsadée.In an exemplary embodiment, the applicator element comprises a brush, for example a brush comprising a twisted core.

La brosse peut comporter des poils qui s'étendent hors de l'applicateur sur moins d'une révolution complète autour de l'axe de la brosse, par exemple sur un secteur angulaire inférieur ou égal à 270°, notamment voisin de 180°.The brush may comprise bristles that extend out of the applicator on less than one complete revolution around the axis of the brush, for example on an angular sector less than or equal to 270 °, in particular close to 180 °.

Toujours dans un exemple de réalisation, l'applicateur comporte un support comportant deux parties portant respectivement l'élément d'application et l'élément chauffant.Still in an exemplary embodiment, the applicator comprises a support comprising two parts respectively carrying the application element and the heating element.

Ce support peut être réalisé dans une matière élastiquement déformable.This support can be made of an elastically deformable material.

Les deux parties du support peuvent être articulées entre elles, étant par exemple reliées par au moins une charnière-film.The two parts of the support can be hinged together, being for example connected by at least one hinge-film.

L'élément chauffant et l'élément d'application sont avantageusement séparés par une couche d'air lorsque l'applicateur est complètement hors du récipient. Cette couche d'air permet de réduire le transfert thermique vers l'élément d'application.The heating element and the application element are advantageously separated by a layer of air when the applicator is completely out of the container. This air layer reduces heat transfer to the application element.

Le support peut être surmoulé sur l'élément chauffant et/ou l'élément d'application, ce qui peut faciliter la fabrication de l'applicateur.The support can be overmolded on the heating element and / or the application element, which can facilitate the manufacture of the applicator.

Dans un exemple de réalisation, le support est fixé sur une tige de l'applicateur et cette tige maintient le support dans une configuration où l'élément d'application et l'élément chauffant sont sensiblement parallèles, lorsque l'applicateur est complètement hors du récipient.In an exemplary embodiment, the support is fixed on a rod of the applicator and this rod holds the support in a configuration where the applicator element and the heating element are substantially parallel, when the applicator is completely outside the applicator. container.

L'élément chauffant peut être réalisé de multiples manières et peut comporter un fil résistif disposé à l'intérieur d'une gaine.The heating element can be made in many ways and can include a resistive wire disposed within a sheath.

L'élément chauffant peut être disposé de manière à pouvoir venir au contact de l'essoreur, à la traversée de ce dernier. Ainsi, la quantité de produit susceptible d'être exposée à la chaleur de l'élément chauffant avant l'application est réduite. La température maximale de l'élément chauffant, en l'absence de produit, peut être par exemple supérieure à 40 °C, voire à 60 °C.The heating element can be arranged to come into contact with the wiper, at the crossing of the latter. Thus, the amount of product that may be exposed to the heat of the heating element prior to application is reduced. The maximum temperature of the heating element, in the absence of product, may for example be greater than 40 ° C, or even 60 ° C.

Dans un exemple de réalisation, l'essoreur présente un passage pour l'applicateur qui est de section transversale circulaire. Le plus petit diamètre du passage est par exemple supérieur ou égal à 6 mm, notamment compris entre 6 et 8 mm. Ce plus petit diamètre peut correspondre par exemple sensiblement à une dimension transversale de l'applicateur lorsque l'élément d'application et l'élément chauffant sont rapprochés au maximum.In an exemplary embodiment, the wiper has a passage for the applicator which is of circular cross section. The smallest diameter of the passage is for example greater than or equal to 6 mm, in particular between 6 and 8 mm. This smaller diameter may for example correspond substantially to a transverse dimension of the applicator when the application element and the heating element are brought closer together.

Dans un exemple de réalisation, l'applicateur comporte un logement de réception d'une source d'énergie électrique, par exemple au moins une pile ou un accumulateur.In an exemplary embodiment, the applicator comprises a housing for receiving a source of electrical energy, for example at least one battery or accumulator.

Le récipient 2 est muni d'un essoreur 23 qui est fixé sur le col 6 et qui est adapté à essorer la tige 21 et la partie d'application et de chauffage 20, lorsque l'applicateur 3 est extrait du récipient.The container 2 is provided with a wiper 23 which is fixed on the neck 6 and which is adapted to wring the rod 21 and the application and heating portion 20, when the applicator 3 is extracted from the container.

On a représenté à échelle agrandie la partie d'application et de chauffage 20 sur la figure 3. On voit sur cette dernière que l'élément d'application 40 et l'élément chauffant 50 sont portés par un support 30 et s'étendent sensiblement parallèlement à l'axe X.The application and heating portion 20 in FIG. 3 is shown on an enlarged scale. It is seen on the latter that the application element 40 and the heating element 50 are carried by a support 30 and extend substantially parallel to the X axis.

Dans l'exemple illustré, l'élément d'application 40 est une brosse comportant une âme torsadée 41 et des poils 42 se raccordant à l'âme 41. Cette dernière est par exemple une âme torsadée conventionnelle, formée à partir d'un fil métallique replié en U, les poils 42 étant serrés entre les spires des deux branches torsadées ensemble.In the example shown, the application element 40 is a brush comprising a twisted core 41 and bristles 42 which connect to the core 41. The latter is for example a conventional twisted core formed from a wire metal folded U, the bristles 42 being clamped between the turns of the two branches twisted together.

L'élément d'application 40 est, dans l'exemple considéré, rapporté sur le support 30. Les poils 42 s'étendent du côté extérieur du support 30 dans un secteur angulaire, autour de l'axe Y longitudinal de l'âme 42, qui est de 180° environ. Les extrémités de l'âme 41 sont fixées par encliquetage dans des logements 31 et 32 du support 30. Ces logements 31 et 32 sont réalisés dans des parties de retenue 33 et 34 du support 30 qui se font face.The application element 40 is, in this example, attached to the support 30. The bristles 42 extend on the outside of the support 30 in an angular sector around the longitudinal axis Y of the core 42. which is about 180 °. The ends of the core 41 are fixed by snapping into the housings 31 and 32 of the support 30. These housings 31 and 32 are made in retaining portions 33 and 34 of the support 30 which face each other.

On peut donner à l'enveloppe des poils 42 de l'élément d'application 40 toute forme adaptée et notamment un profil longitudinal s'étendant selon une ligne C curviligne, concave vers le support, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 3.The shell of the bristles 42 of the applicator element 40 can be given any suitable shape and in particular a longitudinal profile extending along a curvilinear line C, concave towards the support, as can be seen in FIG.

L'élément chauffant 50 comporte, dans l'exemple de la figure 3, un fil résistif 51, que l'on voit en coupe transversale sur la figure 4, qui est rectiligne et sensiblement parallèle à l'axe X. Les deux extrémités du fil 51 sont reliées aux brins d'un câble 52 dont l'un 53 des conducteurs s'étend parallèlement au fil 51, comme on peut le voir à la figure 4.The heating element 50 comprises, in the example of FIG. 3, a resistive wire 51, which is seen in cross-section in FIG. 4, which is rectilinear and substantially parallel to the axis X. The two ends of the 51 are connected to the strands of a cable 52 which one of the conductors 53 extends parallel to the wire 51, as can be seen in FIG.

Dans l'exemple illustré, le fil 51 et le conducteur 53 sont noyés dans une gaine 54, isolante électriquement.In the example shown, the wire 51 and the conductor 53 are embedded in a sheath 54, electrically insulating.

L'élément chauffant 50 peut être fixé de diverses manières sur le support 30, par exemple par surmoulage de la matière du support 30 sur celui-ci. Le support 30 peut recouvrir par exemple les extrémités axiales 55 et 56 de l'élément chauffant 50 et comporter une partie de liaison 36 s'étendant entre celles-ci, du côté intérieur du support seulement, de façon à laisser apparent le côté extérieur 57 de la gaine 54.The heating element 50 may be fixed in various ways on the support 30, for example by overmolding the material of the support 30 thereon. The support 30 may cover for example the axial ends 55 and 56 of the heating element 50 and have a connecting portion 36 extending therebetween, on the inside of the support only, so as to leave the outer side visible. sheath 54.

L'élément chauffant 50 peut être réalisé autrement encore et le fil 51 peut par exemple s'étendre en U, avec deux branches parallèles à l'axe X, comme illustré à la figure 5. Dans ce cas, les brins du câble 52 peuvent être reliés auxdites branches du côté de l'élément d'application 50 qui est adjacent à la tige 21.The heating element 50 may be made in a different manner and the wire 51 may for example be U-shaped, with two branches parallel to the axis X, as illustrated in FIG. 5. In this case, the strands of the cable 52 may be connected to said branches on the side of the applicator element 50 which is adjacent to the rod 21.

Le support 30 est réalisé, dans l'exemple considéré, dans un matériau élastiquement déformable. L'élément d'application 40 et l'élément chauffant 50 sont reliés ensemble, à l'extrémité distale de l'applicateur, par une partie de liaison 37 élastiquement déformable. Du côté de l'extrémité proximale de la partie d'application et de chauffage 20, l'élément d'application 40 et l'élément de chauffage 50 sont reliés entre eux par une partie de liaison 38 qui peut également être élastiquement déformable. Cette partie de liaison 38 peut être traversée par le câble d'alimentation 52, comme on le voit sur la figure 3.The support 30 is made in the example in question in an elastically deformable material. The applicator element 40 and the heating element 50 are connected together at the distal end of the applicator by an elastically deformable connecting portion 37. On the side of the proximal end of the application and heating part 20, the application element 40 and the heating element 50 are interconnected by a connecting part 38 which can also be elastically deformable. This connecting portion 38 may be traversed by the power cable 52, as seen in FIG.

Les parties de liaison 37 et 38 permettent à l'élément d'application 40 et à l'élément chauffant 50 de se rapprocher lors du franchissement par la partie d'application et de chauffage 20 de l'essoreur 23, comme illustré à la figure 6.The connecting portions 37 and 38 allow the applicator element 40 and the heating element 50 to approach each other when passing through the application and heating portion 20 of the wiper 23, as illustrated in FIG. 6.

La plus petite section intérieure de l'essoreur, qui est définie par une lèvre d'essorage annulaire 60, présente une dimension d, mesurée perpendiculairement à l'axe X dans le plan de la figure 6, qui correspond sensiblement à la dimension transversale de la partie d'application et de chauffage 20 lorsque les parties de retenue 33 et 34 viennent en appui contre la partie de liaison 36.The smallest inner section of the wiper, which is defined by an annular wringing lip 60, has a dimension d, measured perpendicularly to the X axis in the plane of FIG. 6, which corresponds substantially to the transverse dimension of the application and heating part 20 when the retaining portions 33 and 34 bear against the connecting part 36.

L'invention n'est pas limitée à un élément d'application particulier et diverses formes de brosses peuvent être utilisées ainsi que des peignes, comme illustré aux figures 7 et 8.The invention is not limited to a particular application element and various forms of brushes may be used as well as combs, as illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8.

Sur la figure 7, on a représenté un élément d'application 40 constitué par un peigne rapporté sur le support 30, étant par exemple fixé sur celui-ci par encliquetage, collage, friction ou soudure. Le support 30 pourrait encore être surmoulé sur l'élément d'application 40.FIG. 7 shows an application element 40 constituted by a comb attached to the support 30, for example being fastened to it by snapping, gluing, friction or welding. The support 30 could still be overmolded on the application element 40.

On a également illustré sur les figures 7 et 8 la possibilité de réaliser, du côté extérieur de l'élément chauffant 50, des nervures 63, ces dernières étant par exemple moulées d'un seul tenant avec le support 30. Ces nervures 63 sont destinées à éviter un contact direct de l'élément chauffant 50 contre la peau, en cas d'application accidentelle de la partie d'application et de chauffage 20 sur les paupières, par exemple.FIGS. 7 and 8 also illustrate the possibility of producing ribs 63 on the outer side of the heating element 50, the latter being for example molded in one piece with the support 30. These ribs 63 are intended to to avoid direct contact of the heating element 50 against the skin, in case of accidental application of the application and heating part 20 on the eyelids, for example.

On a illustré aux figures 8 et 9 la possibilité de réaliser l'élément d'application 40 d'un seul tenant, par moulage de matière, avec le support 30. L'élément d'application 40 peut par exemple être moulé à plat avec le support 30, ce dernier étant surmoulé sur l'élément chauffant 50, comme illustré à la figure 9. Ensuite, l'élément d'application 40 est rabattu vers l'élément chauffant 50 et les deux peuvent être maintenus assemblés dans la configuration de la figure 8 par engagement de l'extrémité proximale du support 30 dans la tige 21, par exemple.FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate the possibility of producing the application element 40 in one piece, by molding of material, with the support 30. The application element 40 may for example be molded flat with the support 30, the latter being overmolded on the heating element 50, as illustrated in FIG. 9. Then, the application element 40 is folded down towards the heating element 50 and the two can be kept assembled in the configuration of FIG. Figure 8 by engagement of the proximal end of the support 30 in the rod 21, for example.

Pour utiliser le dispositif de conditionnement et d'application 1, l'utilisateur peut agir sur l'interrupteur 15 de façon à alimenter l'élément chauffant 50, puis extraire l'applicateur 3 du récipient 2. Lors de l'extraction, l'élément d'application 40 et l'élément chauffant 50 sont essorés.To use the packaging and application device 1, the user can act on the switch 15 so as to supply the heating element 50, then extract the applicator 3 from the container 2. During the extraction, the application member 40 and heating element 50 are dewatered.

L'utilisateur peut se servir de l'élément d'application 40 pour appliquer le produit sur les cils, puis une fois cette application effectuée, venir au moyen de l'élément chauffant 50 élever la température du produit ainsi déposé, de façon à modifier les propriétés du produit et le cas échéant recourber les cils.The user can use the applicator element 40 to apply the product to the eyelashes, and once this application is made, come by means of the heating element 50 to raise the temperature of the product thus deposited, so as to modify the properties of the product and if necessary curl the eyelashes.

La couche d'air qui sépare l'élément d'application 40 de l'élément chauffant 50 réduit le transfert thermique vers l'élément d'application 40, ce qui permet de limiter l'évaporation du ou des composés volatils éventuellement contenus dans le produit P.The air layer separating the application element 40 from the heating element 50 reduces the heat transfer towards the application element 40, which makes it possible to limit the evaporation of the volatile compound (s) possibly contained in the product P.

La température maximale de l'élément d'application 50, mesurée à température ambiante de 20 °C en l'absence de produit P sur la partie d'application et de chauffage 20, est par exemple supérieure à 40 °C, voire supérieure à 60 °C.The maximum temperature of the application element 50, measured at ambient temperature of 20 ° C. in the absence of product P on the application and heating part 20, is, for example, greater than 40 ° C., or even greater than 60 ° C.

Bien que l'invention ait été décrite en donnant comme exemples d'élément d'application une brosse ou un peigne, il va de soi que l'invention n'est pas limitée à ces éléments d'application particuliers et que l'élément d'application peut être autre encore, étant choisi en fonction de la nature du produit et de la zone à traiter.Although the invention has been described by giving as examples of application element a brush or a comb, it goes without saying that the invention is not limited to these particular application elements and that the application element may be other still, being chosen according to the nature of the product and the area to be treated.

Dans toute la description, y compris les revendications, l'expression « comportant un » doit être comprise comme étant synonyme de « comportant au moins un », sauf si le contraire est spécifié.Throughout the description, including the claims, the phrase "having one" should be understood as being synonymous with "having at least one", unless the opposite is specified.
