Description

Items such as powder puffs

The present invention relates to the field of cosmetic products, and more particularly to a human keratin material, particularly to a cosmetic product for makeup or care of the skin, but is not limited thereto.

For applying cosmetic products to the skin, various applicators are known.

These include sponges, brushes, wipes and flocked applicators.

There is a need for a new applicator that allows users to enjoy a new sensory experience and provides good properties for application of cosmetic compositions.

Accordingly, the present invention relates to an article, such as a powder puff, for applying a cosmetic product, the article comprising a first layer and a second layer, the first layer and the second layer being a first layer. And the second layer are joined together by an assembly of filaments forming a spacer whose ends are connected respectively.

In a first embodiment, the first layer and the second layer are made of a textile material which can be selected from woven fabrics, nonwovens and knitted fabrics.

In the second embodiment, the first layer and the second layer are made of foam.

Items are not impregnated with cosmetic products prior to first use. It is used to pick up cosmetic products from independent storage and apply them specifically to the skin, or to remove or blend cosmetic products on the skin. This does not constitute a reserve of cosmetic products.

Articles according to the invention are flexible and feel good.

With the present invention, a new applicator is available with a spring effect associated with the presence of a spacer between the first layer and the second layer. The spacer provides the article thickness without providing significant resistance to pressure, and the comfort associated with the softness thus obtained.

Preferably, the article is foam-free between the first and second layers.

The article can be mounted on a support, in particular in the case in the form of an end piece. The support may constitute a holding member such as a stem.

As an alternative, the article is not mounted on any support. All or part of the article, in particular the assembly of filaments forming the spacer, may be subjected to an antibacterial treatment.

The article may be washable. The spacers constitute the aerated space, which means that the article dries quickly.

The article advantageously comprises a fixing portion, advantageously a peripheral portion, which joins at least the first and second layers together on their periphery. Fixing is achieved, for example, by ultrasonic or high-frequency welding. In this case, the spacer is enclosed inside the article by the fixing portion and is not visible from the outside. This fastening, in particular welding, makes it possible to prevent the textiles and/or foams forming the first and second layers from unraveling at their periphery. It also allows the user to make the application smoother.

The article may comprise at least one flexible third layer, in particular a textile, attached to the outer surface of the first and/or second layer.

The third layer may be fixed to the first and/or second layer. For example, the third layer may be bonded to the first and/or second layer, and the article is applied to the first and/or second layer, for example by spraying, screen printing, coating or other methods. Includes an applied adhesive layer. Thus, the third layer may be bonded to this adhesive layer.

Alternatively, the third layer may be secured to the first and/or second layer by stitching, welding, post-bonding welding, or any other suitable fastening means. In another alternative form, the third layer is not bonded to the first and/or second layer, but is fixed only to the periphery of the article by welding, for example by ultrasonic or high frequency welding. This welding is advantageously carried out simultaneously with the welding joining the first and second layers together. Thus, the third layer is advantageously fixed at the periphery thereof to the first and second layers simultaneously, for example by welding, in particular by high frequency or ultrasonic welding.

As an alternative, it is not fixed to the first and/or second layer. For example, the third layer is fixed around each of the first and second layers, for example by welding at least partially, in a manner to form a cover covering the rest of the article. All or part of the fixation of the third layer can be opened so that the cover can be removed from the rest of the article. In particular, part of the fastening can be obtained using Velcro ^® type fasteners. This may be advantageous for cleaning or replacement purposes or for separating the cover formed by the third layer from the rest of the article, for example if the cover is reversible.

The third layer may or may not be textured. The third layer may be selected from woven, nonwoven and foam. The third layer may comprise microfibres, in particular threads such as polyamide and/or polyester, or acrylic, to impart additional softness to the touch. The third layer has closed or open cells, preferably closed cells, and can be made of foam, for example polyurethane or polyethylene foam. When the foam is a closed cell foam, this makes it possible to form a barrier and prevent the interior of the article from becoming dirty.

The article may include one or more welds over all or part of its thickness in an area distinct from its periphery. Such welds may make it possible to define an area for retention or an area for applying the cosmetic composition, or may make it possible to create one or more pattern(s) on the article.

The article may have a circular, oval, square, rectangular, trapezoidal shape, regular or irregular polygonal shape, or other shape. The article may have a surface that occupies 2 to 80 cm ² when viewed from above. The shaping can be carried out, if appropriate, in particular by cutting using a punch or a laser. Articles can be made by cutting and welding at the same time, for example by ultrasonic or radio frequency.

In particular, the third layer can be cut and welded to the first and/or second and/or other third layer by ultrasonic or radio frequency means, without being previously bonded to the covering first and/or second layer. As an alternative, the third layer can be coated with an adhesive prior to cutting and welding by ultrasonic or radio frequency means to the covering first and/or second layer.

The longest dimension of the article, in particular the powder puff, may be 10 mm to 100 mm, preferably 40 mm to 60 mm.

The present invention allows a wide selection of materials, textures and porosities for the first and second layers and, if appropriate, for the third layer. These can therefore be easily tailored to the desired feel and type of makeup.

If the first, second and/or third layer comprises a textile, the textile forming the first, second and/or third layer is, for example, synthetic fibers and/or microfibers, such as polyamide , Elastane, polyester, acrylic, viscose, acetate, natural fibers and/or microfibers, such as fibers and/or microfibers selected from the group consisting of silk, wool, cotton, linen, hemp and mixtures thereof Includes. The textile preferably comprises synthetic fibers and/or microfibers, in particular mixtures of polyamides and elastanes, the proportion of polyamides in particular more than 50% by weight, preferably more than 60% by weight, in particular more than 70% by weight . Textiles include, for example, mixtures of threads made of polyamide and elastane microfibers. The textile can be subjected to a surface treatment such as embossing, for example.

When the first layer, the second layer and/or the third layer comprise a foam, it is polyurethane, butadiene rubber (BR), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), natural rubber (NR), wet urethane, dry urethane, Polyether, polyester, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), latex, silicone, styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), silicone elastomer, nitrile rubber, butyl rubber and neoprene It may be selected from the group consisting of.

Such foam may be a closed cell foam. As an alternative, it is an open cell foam.

The material or materials from which the first, second and/or third layer is made are preferably selected to give the article a silky feel. The material or materials from which the first, second and/or third layer is made may be selected to impart elasticity to the first, second and/or third layer.

The first and/or second and/or third layers may appear to the naked eye as substantially continuous. The expression "with the naked eye" is to be understood as meaning viewed from a distance of 15 cm with the eye of normal vision. Alternatively, the first and/or second and/or third layers appear to be perforated to the naked eye. In this case, the first and/or second and/or third layers comprise at least one perforation, in particular a plurality of perforations.

The perforations can be of non-polygonal shape, for example round, oval, warhead, rectangular shape. In particular, the perforations may have a shape comprising at least one rounded portion. All perforations can be of the same shape. The perforations can be evenly distributed over the layer.

In general, the largest dimension of perforations present in the first, second and/or third layers may be between 1 mm and 15 mm. The cross-sectional area of each perforation may be 1 mm ² to 100 mm ² .

The first layer may be made from the same textile as the second and/or third layer and from the same woven or knitted fabric or from the same foam.

As an alternative, the first layer is made from a different textile and/or in a different weave or knit compared to the second and/or third layer. In the latter case, this makes it possible to obtain different makeup effects. As an alternative, one of the layers is suitable for application to a cosmetic product, in particular the skin, while the other of the layers is more suitable for makeup finishing or blending. As an alternative, one of the layers is suitable for application of a liquid cosmetic product, while the other of the layers is suitable for application of a powder cosmetic product. The same is true for the third layer covering the first and/or second layer. The third layer covering the first layer may be the same as or different from the third layer covering the second layer.

The colors of the various layers may be the same or different from each other.

The thickness of the article, in particular the powder puff, measured at the center between the opposite sides of the first and second layers may be 1 mm to 30 mm, more preferably 5 mm to 25 mm. For makeup application, a thickness of 1 to 15 mm may be preferred, and for care application a thickness of 5 to 30 mm may be preferred.

In particular if the first, second and/or third layer comprises foam, the thickness of the layers or each layer from the first, second and/or third layer is 0.1 to 2 mm, in particular 0.2 to 2 mm, Or even equal to 0.3 to 1 mm, preferably 0.3 to 0.5 mm, in particular 0.35 mm. The foam layer thus has a relatively fine thickness, which offers many advantages of being easy to weld, inexpensive, flexible, deformable, and a soft touch, especially when the cell density is high.

The filaments of the spacer may have at least one portion oriented perpendicular to the first and second layers. In one exemplary embodiment of the invention, each of the filaments has an arcuate shape. This gives the powder puff more compressibility and can reduce the force applied to move the first and second layers towards each other. Preferably, the filaments are not filaments made of spun fibers or multi-fibre filaments, but each a single fiber filament. This provides greater stiffness and thus contributes to the elasticity of the powder puff and its shape memory.

The article, in particular the powder puff, is preferably entirely made of a synthetic material, preferably a thermoplastic material. For example, articles, particularly powder puffs, comprise one or more materials selected from polyesters, polyamides, polyolefins, among other plastic materials.

The article, particularly the powder puff, may comprise filaments that intersect when viewed in a direction perpendicular to its thickness. This may cause the first layer to move towards the second layer without causing any lateral offset relative to the second layer when the user presses the first layer.

The first and second layers are made, for example, of textiles, which are preferably made of knitted threads. In particular, the filaments forming the spacer are advantageously bonded to the first and second layers by knitting. The filaments themselves may be knitted. The first and second layers can be produced by knitting on a loom with a double needle bed. It may be a warp knit or a false knit that cannot be solved.

Preferably, the article according to the invention does not have an intermediate absorbent structure, in particular foam-like, attached between the first and second layers. The article, in particular the powder puff, advantageously does not have any intermediate foam layer, for example PU, SBR or polyolefin foam, between the first and second layers.

Makeup kit

A further subject of the invention is a cosmetic kit comprising a package comprising at least one, in particular at least two articles, in particular a powder puff, as previously defined. The package may consist of a sachet or cardboard box.

The bag can possibly be made of a metallized thermoplastic material. The bag can be closed by heat sealing. The bag may have a notch making up the beginning of the tear, which makes opening easier. The encapsulation may contain a polyolefin. The bag can be completely sealed.

In the remaining description, the same elements or elements having the same function have the same reference numerals. For the sake of brevity of the description, only differences between the embodiments are emphasized without describing each drawing.

The article 1 according to the invention shown in Fig. 1 constitutes a powder puff. This powder puff comprises a textile first layer (11) and a textile second layer (12). The first and second layers are joined together by an assembly of filaments 13 forming a spacer to which ends 14 and 15 are connected to the first layer 11 and the second layer 12 respectively.

In this example, the powder puff 1 is not mounted on any support, and itself forms an applicator for applying or removing cosmetic products or blending cosmetic products.

The powder puff 1 comprises a peripheral fixture produced by ultrasonic welding in this example. This peripheral fixing portion assembles the first layer 11 to the second layer 12 at the peripheral portion 16 so that the filaments 13 forming the spacer are not visible from the outside.

Flexible layers 17a and 17b in this example cover the first layer 11 and the second layer 12, respectively.

Layers 17a and 17b are also welded to the first and second layers 11 and 12 at their periphery.

The powder puff 1 illustrated in FIG. 2 has an ovoid contour when viewed from the front. In this example, the length L1 of the powder puff 1 is 58 mm, and the width L2 is 47 mm.

The powder puff 1 may have a shape different from that illustrated in FIG. 2 without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, the powder puff 1 may have a circular, cylindrical, spherical, square, rectangular, elliptical, trapezoidal shape or any other polygonal or non-polygonal shape.

Layers 17a and 17b are bonded to the first and second layers 11 and 12, respectively, in this example. However, the layers 17a and 17b may be in different ways, for example by stitching, welding, bonding of the PU foam, spraying of an adhesive or by applying a hot melt thread to the first/second layer or layer 17a/17b. Even if it is fixed to the first and second layers 11 and 12 by incorporating and then heating to perform bonding, this will not depart from the scope of the present invention.

The assembly of the first layer 11, the second layer 12 and the filaments 13 can be made of a synthetic material by knitting according to the teachings of the application WO 2012/153131 A1 or EP 1 863 959. An example of a textile structure that may be suitable is commercially available for textile applications under the name "SPACER FABRICS".

The length of the filaments 13 forming the spacer is, for example, 1 to 25 mm, more preferably 6 to 10 mm.

The present invention provides a powder puff that can be washed together with spacers constituting the aerated space to dry quickly. Powder puffs can be treated with antibacterial treatment.

The powder puff 1 provides a spring effect due to the presence of the spacer. The spacer's resistance to pressure is low, which means that the user can feel comfortable and soft during use.

It is possible to select a number of textile materials, in particular fabrics, textiles, knitted and/or nonwovens, and/or foams from which the first layer 11, the second layer 12 and the layers 17a and 17b are made. In particular, the first layer 11 or the second layer 12 is preferably made of a woven or knitted fabric. The layers 17a and 17b are preferably made of a foam, for example a closed cell polyurethane foam. When produced by knitting, the layer(s) can be produced using a warp knitting, which is not particularly unwound, or using a weft knitting. The filaments 13 forming the spacers are advantageously connected to the first and second layers 11 and 12 by knitting.

In the illustrated example, as can be seen in FIG. 3, small elliptical perforations 21 are created in the first layer 11.

The second layer 12 shown in Fig. 5 has a large perforation 20 in the shape of a rectangle with the longest dimension L of 1 mm to 5 mm.

The first and second layers can be the same.

In particular, if the article is washable, at least one of these layers may be free of perforations. The first and/or second layer may comprise a jacquard pattern.

The layer 17a may have a tighter structure as can be seen in FIG. 4. In this example, layer 17b is the same as layer 17a. The layers 17a, 17b advantageously comprise a thread of polyamide microfibres to give the powder puff 1 a soft feel to further enhance the sensory experience of the user. These also preferably contain elastane fibers, in order to impart elasticity to the powder puff 1.

The type of mesh structure of the various layers 11, 12, 17a, 17b is tailored to the desired application. In this example, the layers 17a and 17b are the layers that the user will come into contact with.

Alternatively, the layers 17a and 17b can be different. One layer may be suitable for application of the cosmetic product, while the other layer may be suitable for blending the cosmetic product once applied to the keratin material.

The filaments 13 can be oriented in a variety of ways. In the illustrated example, the filaments 13 intersect, that is, there are filaments 13a and 13b having concave portions oriented in the opposite direction.

In the example shown in Fig. 6, the filaments 13 are all curved in substantially the same way, and the recesses always point in the same direction. Still in this example, layer 17b is absent, and second layer 12 constitutes the outer layer of the article. The user will be in contact with the second layer 12 on one side of the powder puff and the third layer 17a on the opposite side.

In the example of FIG. 7, the powder puff 1 does not have layers 17a and 17b, but includes only layers 11 and 12 by outer layers.

In the example of Fig. 8, the article 1 constitutes an end piece 30 mounted on a support 31 constituting a holding member in the form of a spam in this example.

9 shows a kit 40 of a cosmetic article according to the invention comprising a package 41 containing a plurality of powder puffs 1. The package 41 is a thermoplastic bag closed by heat sealing, and the closed area 42 can be seen in this figure.

10 shows a cosmetic device 50 according to the invention comprising a case 2 comprising a body 3 containing a reservoir in the form of a material impregnated with a cosmetic composition (C).

In this example, the annular lip 9 holds the reservoir in place.

The case 2 comprises an applicator holder forming a housing 6 to receive the powder puff 1 as shown. The applicator holder can be hinged to the body 3. This separates the powder puff 1 from the cosmetic composition and prevents them from coming into contact with each other inside the case.

The case 2 also comprises a lid 5 hinged to the body 3. A mirror 45 is mounted on the inner surface of the lid 5.

To perform a makeup or care operation, the user holds the powder puff 1 with his finger, uses it to pick up the cosmetic composition C from the reservoir and applies it to the skin.

Other alternative forms, in particular different shapes, different textile materials forming the first, second and different layers, different spacer-forming of filaments, articles 1 having different shapes of the support are possible.

11 shows an example of an article 1 in which the third layers 17a and 17b are made of a foam, in particular a closed cell polyurethane foam. The thickness of each foam layer is about 0.35 mm, and because of this small thickness, it can perfectly match the shape of the underlying layer (11 or 12). The foam advantageously has a high cell density to give the user a soft feel that he finds pleasant. In this example as well, the third layers 17a and 17b are coated with an adhesive and then cut and welded by ultrasonic waves at the periphery 16. Even if the third layers 17a and 17b are not bonded and only welded, this does not depart from the scope of the present invention.

In the example of FIG. 12, the article 1 comprises a first layer 11 and a second layer 12 made of a thin foam, for example a polyurethane foam of 0.3 mm thickness.

The example of article 1 of FIG. 13 illustrates the possibility of creating at least a partial weld 25 located in a non-peripheral region of article 1. In this example, this weld makes it possible to define an area 26 for holding the article 1.

In Fig. 14, the article 1 comprises layers 17a and 17b made of foam that are not bonded or fixed to the first and second layers 11 and 12 but are fixed to each other around them, for example by partial welding. Include. Thus, one part 28 for fixing the layers 17a and 17b together is fixed by welding, while the other fixing part 29 is removable and equipped with a Velcro ^® strip. The layers 17a and 17b thus form a removable cover 27 which allows it to be separated from the rest of the article 1 so that it can be cleaned or replaced, for example. The cover 27 may be reversible.

In FIG. 15, as in the example of FIG. 7, the powder puff 1 has only layers 11 and 12 through outer layers. In the example of FIG. 15, a weld was created in the peripheral portion 16 using, for example, ultrasonic or high-frequency welding.

In the example of Fig. 16, an adhesive layer 32, for example made of glue, is applied to the layer 11, and then the layer 17a is fixed to the layer 11 by adhesive bonding. The adhesive layer 32 is applied for example by spraying, screen printing, coating or other methods. Of course, even if the layer 12 is coated with an adhesive layer in which the layer 17b is externally fixed, this will not depart from the scope of the present invention.

In the embodiment of FIG. 17, the layer 17a is not fixed to the layer 11 by bonding; The space between the layers 17a and 11 can be seen in this figure. In contrast, the layer 17a is fixed to the periphery 16 by welding, for example ultrasonic or high frequency welding. This welding is advantageously carried out simultaneously with the welding joining the layers 11 and 12 together. Of course, even if the layer 12 is externally covered with a fixed layer 17b in the same manner as the layer 17a, this will not depart from the scope of the present invention.
