    [0001] CONTEXT
    [0002] Field of the invention
    [0003] Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a cosmetic applicator intended to apply a product including a cosmetic, care or pharmaceutical product to the skin or human keratinous materials. The product includes a viscous liquid or semi-solid product for application to the skin of the face, eyes, etc.
    [0004] Description of the prior art
    [0005] Cosmetic applicators such as dip or pencil applicators are known in the cosmetics industry. Cosmetic packages often include such applicators for dispensing a particular cosmetic contained in the packaging reservoir. The cosmetic applicator generally includes a rod with a cap at one end and an applicator head in the form of a brush, a spatula or other applicator structure suitable for applying a cosmetic or a care product whose viscous cosmetics, mascara, eyeliner, lip gloss, hair coloring, wound care, skin care, concealer cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and the like.
    [0006] Such an applicator is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6331085 B1 intended to apply and transport a quantity of cosmetic product on the skin of a user. The applicator includes a generally cylindrical elastomeric tip with a long axis, the tip including a distal end portion having a distal tip with at least one concavity enclosing material formed therein, and said concavity having a rim.
    [0007] Another U.S. Patent No. 7481591 discloses an applicator comprising a stem and an application surface formed of a plurality of cones. These cones have a certain elasticity and a certain mobility and can therefore massage the cosmetic product, which is stored between them, into wrinkles and irregular areas of a user's skin.
    [0008] Another U.S. Patent No. 7918619 discloses an application portion that projects laterally from the stem and includes at least two branches of a plastic material in order to increase the retention of a cosmetic product. The legs have respective ends, and the ends meet to define a cavity between the legs. The application portion is capable of retaining a cosmetic in its cavity and therefore has increased retention.
    [0009] While such applicators are generally satisfactory, there is still a need for an applicator that is capable of retaining a given large amount of cosmetic product for application and allowing the cosmetic product to be applied with precision.
    [0010] ABSTRACT
    [0011] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a cosmetic applicator which is capable of retaining a large given quantity of a cosmetic product without inconvenience, such as dripping or streaking.
    [0012] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the cosmetic applicator can be used to apply the product including a cosmetic or care product. The cosmetic or care product includes viscous or semi-solid cosmetics, such as lip gloss, hair coloring, skin care, concealer cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and the like.
    [0013] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the cosmetic applicator comprises an applicator member, a stem and a cap. The applicator member is retained at a distal end of the rod with a view to applying the cosmetic product; and the cap is retained at a proximal end of the shaft.
    [0014] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the distal end of the rod includes an interior longitudinal cavity intended to receive and retain the applicator member.
    [0015] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the applicator member comprises a distal portion and a proximal portion. The proximal portion of the applicator member is shaped like a tail that is configured to be received within the stem cavity. The distal portion of the applicator member is formed as an application portion and is composed of a first application side and a second application side opposite the first application side. The distal portion of the applicator member is formed as a curved flattened application portion.
    [0016] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the proximal portion of the applicator member is configured to be connected to an opening of a reservoir containing the cosmetic or care product, and the applicator member in such a case may comprise a passage to allow the cosmetic or care product to flow from the reservoir onto the applicator member.
    [0017] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the application portion is longer than it is wide. The application portion has a width axis which is perpendicular to a central longitudinal axis of the application portion.
    [0018] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the application portion is wider than the stem.
    [0019] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the application portion is offset with respect to a central longitudinal axis of the rod. In other words, the central longitudinal axis of the application portion is parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the stem but does not coincide with the central longitudinal axis of the stem. In an alternative embodiment, the application portion has a central longitudinal axis which is not parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the rod.
    [0020] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, at least a portion of the application portion is curved around an axis transverse to the central longitudinal axis of the application portion forming a longitudinal cavity on the first application side of the application portion. 'application. At least a portion of the second application side is convex. Furthermore, the cavity has a cross-sectional profile whose width can vary along the central longitudinal axis of the application portion. The cavity serves to retain the cosmetic product on the first application side.
    [0021] According to a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, at least a portion of the application portion is curved around an axis transverse to the central longitudinal axis of the application portion forming a longitudinal concavity on the first application side of the application portion. At least a portion of the first application side of the application portion is concave and at least a portion of the second application side is convex. The longitudinal concavity of the first application side is curved in the width axis. The concavity has a general U-shaped cross-sectional profile, the width of which may vary along the longitudinal axis of the application portion. The concavity serves to retain a cosmetic product on the first application side.
    [0022] According to yet another aspect of the present disclosure, the longitudinal concavity of the application portion extends on the first application side from a proximal end of the application portion towards a distal end or a tip of the application portion.
    [0023] According to yet another aspect of the present disclosure, the application portion may be covered with application elements such as flocking. The flocking finish to the surface of the application portion can be accomplished by a known technique suitably chosen, such as electrostatic flocking.
    [0024] According to yet another aspect of the present disclosure, the application portion has at least a widest part in front view. The at least one widest part is located at any length of the application portion. Preferably, the widest part is located approximately mid-length of the application portion. In other embodiments, the widest part may extend over some portion of the length of the application portion. The widest part is at a position remote from the tip or from the distal end of the application portion. The application portion gradually decreases in width from the widest part towards the proximal end of the application portion where the application portion and the stem are connected to each other. The width of the application portion and the width (i.e. the diameter) of the rod can be substantially equal where the application portion and the rod are connected to each other. The application portion also gradually decreases in width from the widest part towards the tip or the distal end. In short, the application portion sees its width gradually increase from the tip towards the widest part and gradually decrease from the widest part towards the proximal end. The bit may or may not be sharp point. The distal end of the application portion is shaped like a sharp point tip.
    [0025] According to yet another aspect of the present disclosure, the first application side forming the longitudinal concavity of the application portion includes a molded continuous midrib which extends along the central longitudinal axis of the application portion from the proximal end of the application portion to a portion of a length of the application portion. Preferably, the midrib extends to mid-length of the application portion or to the widest part of the application portion. The midrib has a width that gradually decreases along the central longitudinal axis of the application portion from the proximal end of the application portion toward the distal end of the application portion. The midrib provides structural strength to the application portion so that the application portion does not bend away from the central longitudinal axis of the application portion during a wiping action by a scraper when removing the applicator member from a container. This means that the position of the tip of the application portion relative to the rod does not change during wiping.
    [0026] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the second application side having a convex portion is smooth and regular.
    [0027] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the application portion includes a peripheral edge which extends around a periphery of the application portion. The peripheral edge of the application portion has a thickness. As used herein, the term "thickness" is the distance measured between the first application side and the second application side. The thickness of the peripheral edge may vary along the central longitudinal axis of the application portion. The peripheral edge has a maximum thickness at the widest part of the application portion. Alternatively, the peripheral edge has a maximum thickness along a portion of the widest part extending over a portion of the length of the application portion. The peripheral edge is curved and has no sharp edges to provide the user with a smoother feel during application. A sharp peripheral edge is not preferable because a sharp edge is uncomfortable and can cause scratching. The greater thickness at the peripheral edge produces an advantageous effect whereby dripping and net formation with the cosmetic product is effectively prevented.
    [0028] According to yet another aspect of the present disclosure, in a side view of the application portion, the peripheral edge, along a lateral side of the application portion, has a curvature comprising a concave curve followed by a convex curve extending from the proximal end to the distal end of the application portion. The convex curve extends over more than half the length of the application portion, more preferably over more than 60% of the length of the application portion.
    [0029] According to yet another aspect of the present disclosure, the application portion may be covered with flocking. In the application of the cosmetic product, the application portion is capable of retaining an increased quantity of the cosmetic product due to the synergistic effect caused by the combination of the curvature of the application portion and the effect of the flocking finish. As a result, the number of application operations is reduced. Covering the applicator portion with flock provides another advantage that the applicator portion has a smooth feel when applied to the lips or any other area of the user's skin.
    [0030] In short, the flocking fibers which can be of any commonly used material, such as nylon, polyester, or any natural fiber are applied with an adhesive, such as an epoxy, to the surface to be flocked. Preferably, the flocking process takes place in an electrostatic field, which results in the correct orientation of the fibers. Flocking on the application portion creates a convenient “reservoir” that can hold a small amount of cosmetic product adequate for one or two applications. According to yet another aspect of the present disclosure, the cosmetic applicator of the present disclosure is to be used in a cosmetic packaging comprising a container for containing a cosmetic product and said cosmetic applicator. The cosmetic applicator cap includes threads on its inner surface which can be screwed onto threads formed on a neck of the container to close the container in a leak tight manner. The container includes a scraper in the neck to wipe excess product from the cosmetic applicator.
    [0031] After the passage of the application portion through the scraper, there is very little retention of the cosmetic product on the second application side compared to the first application side which retains a large quantity of the cosmetic product due to the concavity.
    [0032] According to yet another aspect of the present disclosure, the rod may have a longitudinal axis which is straight as shown, or, in an alternative embodiment, it could be curved. The rod may have a section which is circular, but it may be otherwise without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, in particular when the section of the rod may be oval, elliptical, or polygonal, for example square, rectangular , or triangular. The stem can be solid or hollow.
    [0033] When the stem is not of circular section, the cap may optionally be secured to the container by clipping or by any other means, without rotation relative to said container. The scraper can thus have a non-circular scraper orifice with a section complementary to the section of the rod.
    [0034] In alternative embodiments, the applicator member and the stem can be integrally formed from the same material or can be formed as separate members which are connected to each other by any suitable fastening means known in the art. . For example, the applicator member can be secured to the stem by an adhesive, by heat sealing, by force fitting, by clipping, by crimping, or by screwing. In a variant embodiment, the applicator member is made integrally with the rod, for example from the same material or from different materials, for example by double injection.
    [0035] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, at least part and preferably all of the applicator member can be produced by molding, for example by injection molding, for example in a material selected from the following list: thermoplastic materials; elastomers; thermoplastic elastomers; a polyester thermoplastic elastomer such as HYTREL®, for example; a nitrile rubber; a silicone rubber; an ethylene-propylene terpolymer rubber (EPDM); styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS); styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS); polyurethane (PU); ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA); poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC); polyethylene (PE); poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET); polypropylene (PP); this list is not limiting.
    [0036] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the applicator member can be made, at least in part, of a material that is more flexible than a material from which the stem is made.
    [0037] Although the present disclosure has been described with reference to particular embodiments, it should be understood that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and applications of the present disclosure. It is therefore understood that many modifications may be made to the illustrative embodiments and other arrangements may be contemplated without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure.
    [0038] In order to be able to understand in detail the above-mentioned features of the present disclosure, a more particular description of the disclosure, briefly summarized above, can be given with reference to embodiments, some of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

    [0047] DETAILED DESCRIPTION
    [0048] Throughout this specification, the terms "includes", "includes", "comprising" and the like, will invariably mean that a set of objects is not limited to those specifically named objects.
    [0049] Figure 1 illustrates a longitudinal sectional view of a cosmetic packaging 1 according to the present disclosure. The cosmetic packaging 1 comprises a container 200 intended to contain a cosmetic product (not shown) and a cosmetic applicator 100. The cosmetic applicator 100 comprises an applicator member 10, a stem 20 and a cap 30. The cap 30 of the applicator 100 has threads 32 on its internal surface which can be screwed onto threads 202, formed on an external surface of a neck 204 of the container 200 in order to close the container 200 in a leaktight manner.
    [0050] According to alternative embodiments, the collar 204 and the cap 30 can be engaged by other engagement means known in the art such as clipping, j-lock, etc.
    [0051] A scraper 206 intended to wipe off excess product from the applicator 100 is inserted into the neck 204 of the container 200.
    [0052] FIG. 2 illustrates an enlarged isometric view of a portion of the cosmetic applicator 100, in which the applicator member 10 is shown upside down with respect to that of FIG. 1. The cosmetic applicator 100 can be used to apply the product (not shown) including a cosmetic or care product. The cosmetic or care product includes viscous or semi-solid cosmetics, such as lip gloss, hair coloring, skin care, concealer cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and the like.
    [0053] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, the cosmetic applicator 100 comprises the applicator member 10 retained at a distal end of the rod 20 with a view to applying the cosmetic product; and cap 30 attached to a proximal end of shaft 20. The distal end of shaft 20 includes an interior longitudinal cavity 22 for receiving and retaining applicator member 10. Shaft 20 may have a longitudinal axis that is straight as shown, or, alternatively, it could be curved.
    [0054] In the embodiment described, the rod 20 has a section which is circular, but it may be otherwise without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, in particular when the section of the rod 20 is oval, elliptical or polygonal. , for example square, rectangular or triangular. Stem 20 can be solid or hollow.
    [0055] When the rod 20 is not of circular section, the cap 30 can optionally be secured to the container 200 by clipping or by some other means, without rotation relative to said container 200. The scraper 206 can thus have a scraper orifice not circular section complementary to the section of the rod 20.
    [0056] Referring to Figure 1, the applicator member 10 comprises a distal portion 10a and a proximal portion 10b. The proximal portion 10b of the applicator member 10 is formed as a tail 10b which is configured to be received within the cavity 22 of the rod 20. In alternative embodiments, the applicator member 10 and the rod 20 can be formed integrally of the same material or may be formed as separate members which are joined together by any suitable fastening means known in the art. For example, the applicator member 10 can be secured to the rod 20 by an adhesive, by heat sealing, by press fitting, by clipping, by crimping, or by screwing. In a variant embodiment, the applicator member 10 is made integrally with the rod 20, for example from the same material or from different materials, for example by double injection molding.
    [0057] In other alternative embodiments not shown in the drawings, the proximal portion of the applicator member 10 can be configured to be connected to an opening of a reservoir containing the cosmetic or care product, and the applicator member 10 in such a case, there may be a passage allowing the cosmetic or care product to flow from the reservoir onto the applicator member 10.
    [0058] The distal portion 10a of the applicator member 10 is formed as an application portion and is composed of a first application side 11a and a second application side 11b opposite the first application side 11a. The distal portion 10a of the applicator member is formed as a curved flattened application portion.
    [0059] The applicator member 10 can be made, at least in part, of a material that is more flexible than a material from which the rod 20 is made.
    [0060] At least part and preferably all of the applicator member 10 can be made by molding, for example by injection molding, for example in a material chosen from the following list: thermoplastic materials; elastomers; thermoplastic elastomers; a polyester thermoplastic elastomer such as HYTREL®, for example; a nitrile rubber; a silicone rubber; an ethylene-propylene terpolymer rubber (EPDM); styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS); styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS); polyurethane (PU); ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA); poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC); polyethylene (PE); poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET); polypropylene (PP); this list is not limiting.
    [0061] As shown in Figure 6, the application portion 10a is covered by application elements 18 which, in this case, are flocked fibers 18. In short, the flocking fibers 18 which can be of any commonly used material , such as nylon, polyester or any natural fiber are applied with an adhesive, such as an epoxy, to the surface to be flocked. The flocking finish to the surface of the application portion 10a can be accomplished by a suitably chosen known technique, such as electrostatic flocking. The application portion 10a before being flocked is smooth over its entire surface as shown in Figures 1 to 5. Namely, the application portion 10a before being flocked has no surface textures, such as than a pleated finish or a matte finish, over its entire surface. Said another way, the application portion 10a before being flocked is smooth and slippery. Preferably, the flocking process takes place in an electrostatic field, which results in the correct orientation of the fibers. The flocking on the application portion 10a creates a convenient "reservoir" which can hold a small amount of the cosmetic product adequate for one or two applications. In alternative embodiments, the applicator elements 18 may include injection molded fibers, protrusions or grooves which are capable of containing the cosmetic product.
    [0062] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, the application portion 10a of the applicator member 10 is wider than the stem 20. The application portion 10a is longer than it is wide, having a central longitudinal axis X which is parallel to a central longitudinal axis L of the rod 20 but does not coincide with the central longitudinal axis L of the rod 20 (as shown in Figure 2). In other words, the application portion 10a is eccentric with respect to the central longitudinal axis L of the rod 20. In other alternative embodiments, the longitudinal axis X of the application portion 10a can not be parallel to the central longitudinal axis L of the rod 20.
    [0063] Furthermore, the application portion 10a has a width axis Y perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis X. As used herein, the term "width" is defined as a length in the Y axis in Figure 3A . The application portion 10a is curved around the axis Y transverse to the central longitudinal axis X of the application portion 10a to form a longitudinal cavity which, in this case, is a concavity of the first application side 11a of the application portion 10a. The first application side 11a is thus concave and the second application side 11b is convex with respect to the axis Y. The first application side 11a has the longitudinal concavity 12 which is curved along the width axis Y. The longitudinal concavity 12 has a general U-type cross-sectional profile whose width varies along the central longitudinal axis X. The concavity 12 serves to retain a cosmetic or care product on the first application side 11a. The longitudinal concavity 12 extends from the first side 11a from a proximal end 13 of the application portion 10a to a distal end 14 or a tip 14 of the application portion 10a.
    [0064] During the application of the cosmetic product, the application portion 10a is able to retain an increased quantity of the cosmetic product due to the synergistic effect caused by the combination of the curvature and the effect of the flocking finish. As a result, the number of application operations is reduced. Covering the applicator portion with flock provides a further advantage that the applicator portion has a smooth feel when applied to the lips or any other area of the user's skin.
    [0065] As shown in Figure 3A, the application portion 10a has a widest part 10c in front view. The widest part 10c can be present in any portion of a length of the application portion 10a. As shown in Figure 3A, the application portion 10a has a widest part 10c located approximately halfway along the application portion 10a. In an alternative embodiment, the widest part 10c can extend over a certain portion of the length of the application portion 10a.
    [0066] Furthermore, the application portion 10a gradually decreases in width from the widest part 10c towards the proximal end 13 where the application portion 10a and the stem 20 are connected to each other. The width of the application portion 10a and the width (i.e. the diameter) of the rod 20 are substantially equal where the application portion 10a and the rod 20 are connected to one another. other. The widest part 10c is at a position distant from the tip 14 or from the distal end 14 of the application portion 10a. The application portion 10a also gradually decreases in width from the widest part 10c to the tip 14. The tip 14 is preferably a sharp tip. The 14 sharp tip tip helps to gently and thinly apply the cosmetic product, for example, to the ends of the user's lips. In short, the application portion 10a sees its width gradually increase from the tip 14 to the widest part 10c and gradually decrease from the widest part 10c to the proximal end 13.
    [0067] As shown in Figures 2 and 3A, the concavity 12 of the application portion 10a includes a molded continuous midrib 15 which extends along the central longitudinal axis X of the application portion 10a from the end 13 of the application portion 10a up to a portion of the length of the application portion 10a, preferably up to mid-length of the application portion 10a. The midrib 15 has a width along the Y axis that gradually decreases along the central longitudinal axis X from the proximal end 13 toward the distal end 14. The midrib 15 provides structural strength to the portion application portion 10a so that the application portion 10a does not bend away from the longitudinal axis X during wiping by the scraper 206 when the applicator member 10 is removed from the container 200. other words, the median rib 15 hinders the deformation of the application portion 10a away from the central longitudinal axis X. This means that the position of the tip 14 of the application portion 10a with respect to the stem 20 does not change during wiping.
    [0068] After the application portion 10 has passed through the scraper 206, there is very little retention of the cosmetic product on the second application side 11b compared to the first application side 11a which retains a large quantity of the cosmetic product due to the concavity 12.
    [0069] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the second application side 11b having a convex portion is smooth and regular.
    [0070] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the application portion 10a includes a peripheral edge 16 (refer to Figures 2 to 6) which extends around the periphery of the application portion 10a. The peripheral edge 16 of the application portion 10a has a thickness “t”. As used herein, the term "thickness" is the distance measured between the first application side 11a and the second application side 11b. The thickness of the peripheral edge 16 can vary along the central longitudinal axis X of the application portion 10a. The peripheral edge 16 has a maximum thickness "t" at the widest part 10c of the application portion 10a as shown in Figure 3B, in a sectional view taken along the width axis Y. Alternatively, the peripheral edge 16 has a maximum thickness "t" along a portion of the widest part 10c extending over a portion of the length of the application portion 10a. Peripheral edge 16 is curved and has no sharp points to give the user a smoother feel during application. A sharp peripheral edge is not preferable because a sharp edge is uncomfortable and can cause scratching. The greater thickness at the peripheral edge 16 produces an advantageous effect whereby dripping and net formation from the cosmetic product is effectively prevented.
    [0071] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, in a side view of the application portion 10a, as shown in Figure 5, the peripheral edge 16 along a lateral side 17 of the application portion 10a has a curvature comprising a concave curve 16a followed by a convex curve 16b extending from the proximal end portion towards the distal end of the application portion 10a. The convex curve 16b extends along more than half the length of the application portion 10a, more preferably more than 60% of the length of the application portion 10a.
    [0072] The present embodiment provides the advantageous effect that excess cosmetic product is wiped from application portion 10a by scraper 206 to leave an adequate amount of cosmetic product as retained on first side 11a of application portion 10a. application 10a. In addition to this effect, another advantage is achieved in that dripping or streaking from the cosmetic product is prevented.
    [0073] Although the present disclosure has been described herein with reference to particular embodiments, it should be understood that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and applications of the present disclosure. It should therefore be understood that many modifications may be made to the illustrative embodiments and other arrangements may be contemplated without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure and its scope is determined by the claims that follow.
