Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of cosmetic product applicators.
  • an application tip means the part of an applicator intended to be placed in contact with the skin to apply the cosmetic product.
  • Cosmetic products include in this document in particular all products for making up the skin, lips or superficial body appendages.
  • the applicator which is the subject of the present invention is also suitable for the application of care products, in particular liquid and pasty care formulas, intended for application to the skin, lips and superficial body appendages.
  • care products in particular liquid and pasty care formulas, intended for application to the skin, lips and superficial body appendages.
  • this also includes care products.
  • the term “user” obviously refers indifferently to a male or female user.
  • Cosmetic products should be applied evenly to the skin, in a thin, even layer. Ideally, the applicator should also allow for a gentle massage of the area where the cosmetic product is applied. A feeling of freshness during application may also be desired.
  • Squeeze tube applicators have a flexible tube containing the product to be applied.
  • the tube must be squeezed to cause the product to come out. of the product, via an orifice located on a relatively flat and generally metallic applicator area, in order to provide a sensation of freshness during application.
  • the quantity of product delivered with this type of applicator is imprecise because it depends on the force applied to the tube.
  • the spreading of the product using the applicator surface is done by rubbing on the skin, which does not allow for a regular film of product to be deposited. Friction during application can also be aggressive or even irritating to the skin.
  • Applicators of the "tip applicator” type have a metal rod with a rounded tip.
  • the rod and its tip must be immersed in the cosmetic product for the tip to become coated with the product.
  • the product is applied by rubbing the tip on the user's skin, or by depositing dots of product by repeatedly touching the applicator to the skin. Just like with a squeeze tube type applicator, this does not allow for even application of the product.
  • the friction during application can also be aggressive or even irritating to the skin.
  • product tends to lodge between the rod and the tip and forms a clump that is not applied.
  • roller-on applicators generally consist of a flexible tube and a tip with a rotatably mounted ball that loads product onto its inner surface at the tip when the tube is squeezed. The surface of the product-loaded ball is then turned towards the outside of the tip, rolling on the user's skin, to allow the application of the product.
  • This type of applicator does not allow for precise dosing of the applied product, as the tube must be squeezed to load the ball. The quality of the application depends on the orientation of the applicator, with the tip needing to be facing downwards to allow for proper application.
  • applicators with a smooth surface do not allow for precise dosing of the quantity of product applied.
  • the document FR3013197 has an applicator whose tip has a smooth revolution shape or has longitudinal grooves (parallel to the main axis of the applicator).
  • the applicator can be moved into contact with the skin by sliding it over it, possibly with a rotational movement of the application member on itself around an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rod and/or perpendicular to this longitudinal axis.
  • the gestures necessary to obtain a correct result is not simple, and the application of the product can be irregular.
  • the dosage of the quantity of product applied is imprecise, and the longitudinal ridges are incompatible with the passage through a wringer device (explained below), which would remove all the product present on the applicator.
  • the document FR3013951 has an applicator having ribs that extend helically around the longitudinal axis of the applicator core.
  • the present invention aims to provide a tip for applying cosmetic products, including liquid, viscous or pasty care products, allowing regular and continuous application of a precise dose of product to an application area having a defined surface, while allowing massage of the entire application area.
  • cosmetic products including liquid, viscous or pasty care products
  • Such an application must preferably be carried out in a simple and ergonomic manner, with gestures that are obvious to the user.
  • the invention relates to a tip for applying a cosmetic product
  • a tip for applying a cosmetic product comprising a main body having a general shape of revolution around a main axis defining a longitudinal direction. Beads are formed on the surface of said main body from which they project, each of said beads extending in a spiral, around the main axis. Each bead has a rounded section, devoid of sharp edges.
  • spiral and spiraling refer to the fact that the beads formed on the surface of the main body of the applicator rotate around the main longitudinal axis while progressing longitudinally.
  • the spiral formed by the beads can therefore be, in particular, a helix, or a succession of portions of helices, the pitch and/or radius of which are fixed or variable.
  • the bead forms a turn or a portion of a turn.
  • each bead causes the bead to rest on the skin as and when any rotational movement is imposed on the application tip during the application of the cosmetic product.
  • the beads allow a certain grip of the application tip on the skin, and their configuration allows this grip to be regular, whatever the angular position of the applicator during its contact with the skin. There is no jolt caused by the beads when the application tip rotates around its main axis, while it is in contact with the skin.
  • the rolling of the application tip on the skin can cause alternating pressures on the skin (like "wavelets") promoting blood microcirculation in the application area. The effect is thus similar to that of a tapping gesture which is recommended when applying a cosmetic product to the eye area.
  • the ridges are not longitudinal prevents the wiper from removing all or almost all of the product from the tip as it passes through the wiper.
  • a groove may be formed on the main body in each space between two beads.
  • the groove allows the applicator to increase its product loading volume.
  • the groove may take up all or part of the width of the space formed between two beads.
  • the main body can be made of metal, ceramic, or wood.
  • a metal applicator tip provides a cooling sensation to the user during application. A decongestant effect on the skin can also be achieved. This also gives the applicator tip an aesthetic appearance.
  • a metal or ceramic tip is generally perceived as a high-quality object by the user.
  • a tip made of wood, or other natural materials, is perceived as a simple element and can be formed in an environmentally friendly manner.
  • the main body can be made of plastic material.
  • the use of plastic facilitates manufacturing and limits the cost of the application tip.
  • the tip The application surface may receive a metallic coating, for example by vapor deposition, to give it a metallic appearance and feel.
  • the beads can be formed as a single piece with the main body.
  • the beads can be formed from an elastomeric material. Beads formed from elastomeric material provide a smooth feel when applying the cosmetic product. Compared to metal or smooth plastic, the grip on the skin is better, which improves guidance of the user's gestures.
  • Each bead may be configured so that it rotates about the main axis through a total angle of between 90° and 720°, preferably of the order of 180°.
  • the beads can have a section whose dimensions vary along each bead.
  • Each bead therefore forms between a quarter turn and a turn on the surface of the main body of the application tip.
  • each bead around the main axis of the application tip gives the beads an angle relative to the direction of rolling of the applicator on the skin which is not too great to allow good grip on the skin, while being adapted to correctly accompany the movement of the applicator, and making it possible to avoid excessive wiping when passing the application tip through a wringer.
  • the invention also relates to a cosmetic product applicator comprising an application tip as defined above, a gripping element, and a longitudinal rigid rod connecting the gripping element to the application tip.
  • the application tip can be mounted rotatably, around the main axis, with respect to the gripping element.
  • the rotation of the applicator is carried out very easily, with a simple gesture for the user who does not have to impose this rotation himself.
  • the beads ensure a rolling without slipping or with a low slipping, on the skin, which is regular, without jolts. They also participate in the massage effect, the rolling of the applicator equipped with spiral beads, for example helical, causing a slight overpressure whose position evolves longitudinally (relative to the applicator) when the application tip rolls on the skin.
  • the invention finally relates to an assembly comprising a bottle and an applicator as defined above in which the bottle contains the cosmetic product, the bottle comprising a neck adapted to be closed by the gripping element, so that, when the bottle is closed by said gripping element, the application tip is in contact with the cosmetic product.
  • the bottle may include a wiper, the wiper allowing the application tip to be wiped as it passes through, so that a defined quantity of product is carried by the application tip after extraction of the applicator from the bottle.
  • a wiper is a device that allows the application tip to be wiped as it passes through, so that a defined quantity of product is carried by the application tip after extraction of the applicator from the bottle.
  • the beads, and where applicable the grooves formed between the beads allow, by their spiral configuration, the application tip to be loaded with a precise, optimal and regular quantity of product, to be applied to a given area of the user (for example, under an eye), and that this quantity is actually present on the application tip after passage through the wiper.
  • FIG. 1 represents a cosmetic product application tip 1 according to one embodiment of the invention.
  • This application tip 1 is intended to be joined to a rod 2 to form a cosmetic product applicator.
  • the application tip 1 comprises a main body 3.

  • Each bead 4 extends on the surface of the main body 3 by spiraling around the main axis A. Each bead can thus, for example, form a portion of a helix on the surface of the main body 3.
  • the main body 3 comprises a first end 5, intended to be joined to the rod 2, and a second end 6, which is a free end.
  • Each bead 4 extends between the first end 5 and the second end 6. When spiraling, each bead forms between a quarter turn and one turn around the main axis, i.e. between 90° and 360°. A winding of approximately 180° is in particular possible. A winding of up to two turns (720°) is also possible.

  • the bottom of this space 7, that is to say the surface of the main body 3 between the ridges 4, may have a texture, which, by increasing the roughness of the surface, improves the retention of the cosmetic product on the application tip 1.
  • the grooves 8 are elongated cavities, formed in the main body 3, between two beads 4. More precisely, a groove 8 is advantageously formed between any pair of successive beads. Each groove 8 can be formed over the entire width separating two beads 4 (i.e. over the entire width of each space 7), or only over a portion of this width. In this case, several grooves can be formed, if necessary, between two beads.
  • the grooves 8 can thus have a greater or lesser depth.
  • the grooves 8 do not communicate with each other, so that during the application of the cosmetic product the dose carried by the application tip is gradually applied.
  • the portion of the dose of cosmetic product present between two ridges is only deposited when the space 7 between the two ridges in question is in contact with the skin.
  • the bottom of the grooves may have a texture that promotes the retention of the cosmetic product, or on the contrary facilitates its removal during application.
