Description

Dispositif d'application d'une composition liquide, semi-liquide ou visqueuse de type composition cosmétique  Device for applying a liquid, semi-liquid or viscous composition of the cosmetic composition type
La présente invention se rapporte à un d ispositif du type applicateur à bille (« roll-on ») pour l'application d'une composition semi-liquide du type composition cosmétique. The present invention relates to a d ispositif of the type applicator ball ("roll-on") for the application of a semi-liquid composition of the cosmetic composition type.
Dans le domaine des applicateurs cosmétiques, les applicateurs à billes sont bien connus. Ces applicateurs permettent de distribuer et d'étaler un produit cosmétique liquide, semi-liquide ou crémeux sur la peau.  In the field of cosmetic applicators, ball applicators are well known. These applicators make it possible to distribute and spread a liquid, semi-liquid or creamy cosmetic product on the skin.
Ces applicateurs comprennent généralement une bille sphérique en acier, verre ou plastique sertie dans un support, et généralement réalisé en matière plastique, formant une tête de distribution. Un jeu fonctionnel est laissé autour de la bille de man ière à ce que celle-ci puisse rouler librement lorsqu'elle est mise en contact sur la peau du consommateur.  These applicators generally comprise a spherical ball made of steel, glass or plastic set in a support, and generally made of plastic, forming a dispensing head. A functional game is left around the ball so that it can roll freely when it is brought into contact with the consumer's skin.
La tête d'application est pourvue généralement d'un canal intérieur permettant d'amener le produit à appliquer depuis un réservoir lié à la tête d'application jusqu'à la bille. Le mouvement de rotation de la bille permet alors au produit cosmétique d'être déplacé à l'extérieur de l'applicateur et mis en contact avec la peau.  The applicator head is generally provided with an internal channel for bringing the product to be applied from a reservoir connected to the application head to the ball. The rotational movement of the ball then allows the cosmetic product to be moved outside the applicator and brought into contact with the skin.
Un inconvénient des applicateurs à une seule bille est qu'ils ne permettent généralement pas une grande surface d'application à moins de prévoir une bille de dimension importante.  A disadvantage of single-ball applicators is that they generally do not allow a large area of application unless a ball of large size is provided.
La réalisation de cette bille devient alors plus difficile et plus onéreuse, notamment lorsqu'elle est en métal. Par ailleurs, une telle bille est plus lourde et difficile à manipuler. Le maintien du sertissage de la bille dans la tête d'application doit également faire l'objet d'attentions particulières afin de s'assurer que le matériau sertissant la bille est suffisamment résistant et que cette dernière ne risque pas de s'en décrocher.  The realization of this ball becomes more difficult and more expensive, especially when it is metal. Moreover, such a ball is heavier and difficult to handle. Maintaining crimping of the ball in the application head must also be the subject of special attention to ensure that the material crimping the ball is sufficiently resistant and that it is not likely to fall out.
Une première solution a été de réaliser des applicateurs à billes comprenant plusieurs billes, fréquemment trois billes. Ces billes sont disposées selon un triangle équilatéral et alimentées en produit cosmétique par un canal commun dont la section est suffisante pour alimenter les trois billes.  A first solution has been to make ball applicators comprising several balls, frequently three balls. These beads are arranged according to an equilateral triangle and supplied with cosmetic product by a common channel whose section is sufficient to feed the three balls.
Ces applicateurs multi-billes permettent d'augmenter la surface d'application sans augmenter la taille des billes. Cependant c'est alors le système de distribution de produit cosmétique au niveau des billes qui impose ses limitations, et leur taille reste limitée si l'on souhaite alimenter les billes avec une tête de distribution fabriquée avec un nombre réduit de pièces (une ou deux, par exemple). Par ailleurs, cette disposition impose que les billes soient logées dans des compartiments de sertissage séparés. These multi-bead applicators make it possible to increase the application surface without increasing the size of the balls. However, it is then the cosmetic product dispensing system at the level of the beads that imposes its limitations, and their size is limited if it is desired to feed the beads. with a dispensing head manufactured with a reduced number of parts (one or two, for example). Furthermore, this provision requires that the balls are housed in separate crimping compartments.
Concernant le problème de la surface d'application, on connaît également des applicateurs à rouleau ou à brosse qui répondent également à ce problème.  Concerning the problem of the application surface, roller or brush applicators which also answer this problem are also known.
Cependant, avec ces solutions apparaît le problème de la précision d'application et de la répartition et uniformisation du produit appliqué, problème pour lequel une bille reste encore le meilleur moyen connu.  However, with these solutions appears the problem of the accuracy of application and the distribution and standardization of the product applied, a problem for which a ball is still the best known means.
La présente i nvention vi se à pa l l i er l es i n convén ients précédemment mentionnés et consiste en un dispositif d'application d'une composition liquide, semi-liquide ou visqueuse de type composition cosmétique comprenant, d'une part, au moins un élément distributeur alimenté par au moins un canal correspondant débouchant au niveau d'un réservoir destiné à contenir ladite composition, et d'autre part, au moins un élément applicateur de type bille sertie, caractérisé en ce que l'élément distributeur et l'élément applicateur sont disposés et orientés sensiblement dans un même plan sensiblement longitudinal.  The present invention is in accordance with the above-mentioned disadvantages and consists of a device for applying a liquid, semi-liquid or viscous composition of the cosmetic composition type comprising, on the one hand, at least one dispenser element fed by at least one corresponding channel opening at a reservoir intended to contain said composition, and secondly, at least one applicator element of crimped ball type, characterized in that the dispensing element and the element applicator are arranged and oriented substantially in the same substantially longitudinal plane.
Ainsi, en prévoyant un élément distributeur dédié associé à un élément applicateur dédié, un dispositif selon la présente invention permet d'assurer une surface d'application satisfaisante sans perdre au niveau de la facilité d'application du produit grâce à l'élément applicateur situé dans le même plan.  Thus, by providing a dedicated distributor element associated with a dedicated applicator element, a device according to the present invention makes it possible to ensure a satisfactory surface of application without losing in the ease of application of the product thanks to the applicator element located in the same plane.
On notera qu'au sens de la présente invention, un élément distributeur ou applicateur peut comprendre plusieurs sous-éléments, ci après- appelés moyens, la direction de l'élément étant alors la direction générale globale de l'ensemble des moyens le constituant.  It will be noted that for the purposes of the present invention, a dispensing or applicator element may comprise several sub-elements, hereinafter referred to as means, the direction of the element then being the overall general direction of all the means constituting it.
Par exemple, si l'élément distributeur est constitué de deux billes, la direction de l'élément est la direction d'alignement des deux billes.  For example, if the distributor element consists of two balls, the direction of the element is the alignment direction of the two balls.
Selon une première variante de réalisation, l'élément distributeur comprend au moins un pinceau ou brosse, possédant de préférence une forme sensiblement oblongue et dont une grande longueur appartient au plan longitudinal commun avec l'élément applicateur.  According to a first variant embodiment, the dispenser element comprises at least one brush or brush, preferably having a substantially oblong shape and a large length of which belongs to the common longitudinal plane with the applicator element.
De manière alternative ou complémentaire, l'élément distributeur comprend au moins un rouleau, le rouleau étant de préférence orienté de manière à ce que son axe de révolution appartienne au plan long itudinal commun avec l'élément applicateur. Alternatively or additionally, the distributor element comprises at least one roller, the roller preferably being oriented from so that its axis of revolution belongs to the common longitudinal plane with the applicator element.
De manière alternative ou complémentaire, l'élément distributeur comprend au moins une bille sertie.  Alternatively or additionally, the distributor element comprises at least one crimped ball.
Avantageusement, l'élément distributeur comprend au moins deux billes serties. Avantageusement, les billes pourront être serties dans un logement unique commun.  Advantageously, the distributor element comprises at least two crimped balls. Advantageously, the balls can be crimped into a single common housing.
Bien évidemment, les billes util isées peuvent être de tailles identiques ou différentes.  Of course, the beads used may be of the same or different sizes.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation, chaque moyen distributeur appartenant à l'élément distributeur est alimenté en composition par un canal dédié.  According to a first embodiment, each dispensing means belonging to the dispensing element is supplied with composition by a dedicated channel.
Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation, les moyens distributeurs appartenant à l'élément distributeur sont alimentés en composition par un canal commun.  According to a second embodiment, the dispensing means belonging to the dispensing element are supplied in composition by a common channel.
De manière avantageuse, l'élément applicateur est alimenté en composition à appliquer. Cette variante pourra notamment dépendre du produit appliqué, ou encore pour que l'élément applicateur remplisse également un rôle de moyen distributeur, augmentant de ce fait la surface d'application.  Advantageously, the applicator element is supplied with the composition to be applied. This variant may in particular depend on the product applied, or for the applicator element also fulfill a role of dispensing means, thereby increasing the application surface.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation préféré, l'élément applicateur est adjacent à l'élément distributeur. De manière complémentaire, il peut être disposé dans un logement de sertissage commun avec l'élément distributeur.  According to a first preferred embodiment, the applicator element is adjacent to the dispenser element. Complementarily, it can be arranged in a crimping recess common with the dispensing element.
De manière préférentielle, le d ispositif présente u ne forme sensiblement biseautée. Une forme biseautée permet une meilleure ergonomie du dispositif et une plus grande facilité d'application.  Preferably, the device has a substantially beveled shape. A beveled shape allows better ergonomics of the device and greater ease of application.
De manière préférentielle, la forme biseautée présente une première et une deuxième face séparée par une pointe, l'élément distributeur étant situé sur la première face, tandis que l'élément applicateur est situé sur la deuxième face.  Preferably, the beveled shape has a first and a second face separated by a tip, the dispensing element being located on the first face, while the applicator element is located on the second face.
Avantageusement, l'élément applicateur et l'élément distributeur sont disposés sensiblement dans un même plan sensiblement transversal. Plus précisément il s'agit d'un plan sensiblement parallèle à une ligne représentant une génératrice de contact entre la peau et les éléments de distribution et d'application.  Advantageously, the applicator element and the distributor element are arranged substantially in the same substantially transverse plane. More specifically, it is a plane substantially parallel to a line representing a generatrix of contact between the skin and the distribution and application elements.
En complément, on pourra également prévoir des moyens de fermeture du ou des canaux d'alimentation en produit cosmétique. On pourra notamment mettre en œuvre le dispositif de fermeture décrit et revendiqué dans l e docu ment F R 2 896 963. On pourra également envisager des systèmes de fermeture à valve avec propulsion du produit à l'aide d'un gaz, des systèmes stick à poussoir, stick à molette, etc. Cet aspect ne fait pas l'objet de l'invention et l'homme du métier connaît les solutions existantes. In addition, it may also provide means for closing the supply channel or channels of cosmetic product. We will be able to in particular implement the closing device described and claimed in document FR 2 896 963. It will also be possible to envisage valve closure systems with propulsion of the product using a gas, push stick systems, stick wheel, etc. This aspect is not the subject of the invention and the skilled person knows the existing solutions.
La présente invention sera mieux comprise à la lumière de la description détaillée qui suit en regard du dessin annexé dans lequel :  The present invention will be better understood in the light of the following detailed description with reference to the appended drawing in which:
- Les figures 1 à 4 sont des vues, respectivement en perspective, de dessus, et de côté, d'un première mode de réalisation d'un dispositif selon l'invention.  - Figures 1 to 4 are views, respectively in perspective, from above, and from the side, of a first embodiment of a device according to the invention.
- Les figures 5 et 6 sont des vues de deux autres modes de réalisation d'un dispositif selon l'invention.  - Figures 5 and 6 are views of two other embodiments of a device according to the invention.
- Les figures 7 à 9 sont des vues respectivement de face, de profil et en coupe longitudinale d'un quatrième mode de réalisation d'un dispositif selon l'invention.  - Figures 7 to 9 are views respectively of front, in profile and in longitudinal section of a fourth embodiment of a device according to the invention.
- Les figures 10 et 1 1 sont des vues de deux modes de réalisation supplémentaires de l'invention.  - Figures 10 and 1 1 are views of two additional embodiments of the invention.
- La figure 12 est une vue éclatée du dispositif montré sur les figures 7 à 9.  FIG. 12 is an exploded view of the device shown in FIGS. 7 to 9.
Un dispositif selon l'invention, dont un premier mode de réalisation est représenté sur les figures 1 à 4 comprend un réservoir 1 destiné à contenir un produit semi-liquide ou visqueux de type produit cosmétique, équipé d'une tête d'application 2 dudit produit.  A device according to the invention, a first embodiment of which is shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 comprises a reservoir 1 intended to contain a semi-liquid or viscous product of cosmetic product type, equipped with an application head 2 of said product.
La tête d'application 2 présente une pointe d'extrémité 3 au niveau de laquelle sont montées serties une série de trois billes 4 de taille sensiblement identique.  The application head 2 has an end tip 3 at which are crimped mounted a series of three balls 4 of substantially identical size.
Ces trois billes 4 sont serties dans un logement commun alimenté en produit à appliquer par un canal traversant (non visible) reliant le réservoir 2 au logement des billes 4.  These three balls 4 are set in a common housing supplied with product to be applied by a through channel (not visible) connecting the tank 2 to the housing of the balls 4.
L'ensemble des billes 4 alignées forme à l a fo is l'élément distributeur et l'élément applicateur.  The set of aligned balls 4 forms the supply element and the applicator element.
Plus précisément, et conformément à l'invention, les trois billes 4 formant l'élément distributeur et l'élément applicateur sont disposés dans un même plan P longitudinal du dispositif. On notera également que le plan P est sensiblement médian, mais cette caractéristique pourra dépendre de la conception de la tête d'application. En variantes, les billes 4 peuvent être chacune alimentée en produit par un canal dédié, ou un canal commun. Seule une partie des billes 4 peut encore être alimentée en produit à appliquer. Dans ce cas, les billes 4 alimentées forment l'élément distributeur, et la ou les billes 4 non alimentées forment l'élément applicateur. More precisely, and in accordance with the invention, the three balls 4 forming the distributor element and the applicator element are arranged in the same longitudinal plane P of the device. It will also be noted that the plane P is substantially median, but this characteristic may depend on the design of the application head. In variants, the balls 4 may each be supplied with product by a dedicated channel, or a common channel. Only a portion of the balls 4 can still be supplied with the product to be applied. In this case, the fed balls 4 form the distributor element, and the non-energized ball or balls 4 form the applicator element.
La figure 5 montre une variante de réalisation du dispositif des figures 1 à 4 se différenciant dudit dispositif par le fait que les billes 4 sont de tailles différentes et alignées par ordre croissant de taille. Elles sont également disposées selon le plan P (non montré sur ce mode de réalisation).  FIG. 5 shows an alternative embodiment of the device of FIGS. 1 to 4 differentiating from said device in that the balls 4 are of different sizes and aligned in increasing size order. They are also arranged according to the plane P (not shown in this embodiment).
On notera également que la pointe 3 est légèrement inclinée présentant une forme en biseau.  Note also that the tip 3 is slightly inclined having a beveled shape.
On notera que sur les figures 1 à 5, les billes formant l'élément distributeur et la bille formant l'élément applicateur sont adjacentes et serties dans un logement commun.  It will be noted that in FIGS. 1 to 5, the balls forming the dispenser element and the ball forming the applicator element are adjacent and crimped in a common housing.
La figure 6 montre un troisième mode de réalisation de l'invention se différenciant des modes de réalisation des figures 1 à 5 par le fait que la pointe d'extrémité 3 est biseautée et présente deux faces 3a, 3b séparées par une arête 3c formant pointe.  FIG. 6 shows a third embodiment of the invention that differs from the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 5 in that the end tip 3 is beveled and has two faces 3a, 3b separated by a tip edge 3c. .
Un tel arrangement en double biseau de la pointe 3 permet une meilleure maniabilité du dispositif et surtout d'alterner facilement entre l'élément applicateur et l'élément distributeur.  Such a double bevel arrangement of the tip 3 allows better handling of the device and especially to easily alternate between the applicator element and the dispenser element.
L'élément distributeur est constitué par un rouleau 40 monté dans la face 3a tandis que l'élément applicateur est constitué par une bille 41 sertie dans la face 3b.  The distributor element is constituted by a roller 40 mounted in the face 3a while the applicator element is constituted by a ball 41 set in the face 3b.
Conformément à l'invention, le rouleau 40 et la bille 41 sont disposés et orientés sensiblement dans le même plan longitudinal P.  According to the invention, the roller 40 and the ball 41 are arranged and oriented substantially in the same longitudinal plane P.
Les figures 7 à 9 montrent un quatrième mode de réalisation de l'invention proche du premier mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 1 à 4 mais dans lequel la pointe 3 est inclinée et dans lequel une bille 42 formant élément applicateur est espacée des billes 4 constituant l'élément distributeur.  FIGS. 7 to 9 show a fourth embodiment of the invention similar to the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 but in which the tip 3 is inclined and in which a ball 42 forming an applicator element is spaced apart from the balls 4 constituting the distributing element.
Comme montré sur la figure 9, seules les billes 4 de l'élément distributeur sont alimentées en produit cosmétique à appliquer par un canal commun 7.  As shown in FIG. 9, only the balls 4 of the dispensing element are fed with cosmetic product to be applied via a common channel 7.
La bille 42 formant l'élément applicateur n'est pas alimenté en produit. Les figures 10 et 11 présentent des modes de réalisation proches du mode de réalisation de la figure 6, dans lesquels l'élément distributeur est constitué respectivement par deux billes 4, et par un pinceau 45. Le pinceau 45 possède une forme sensiblement oblongue dont la grande longueur est orienté selon le plan P longitudinal. The ball 42 forming the applicator element is not supplied with product. FIGS. 10 and 11 show embodiments similar to the embodiment of FIG. 6, in which the distributor element consists respectively of two balls 4, and a brush 45. The brush 45 has a substantially oblong shape whose long length is oriented along the longitudinal plane P.
Par ailleurs, on notera notamment sur les figures 7 et 8 que la bille 42 formant l'élément applicateur appartient à un plan commun avec l'élément distributeur, ce qui peut permettre à la bille applicatrice d'être également distributrice et / ou massante.  Furthermore, it will be noted in particular in Figures 7 and 8 that the ball 42 forming the applicator element belongs to a common plane with the dispensing element, which may allow the applicator ball to be also dispenser and / or massage.
En effet, les éléments applicateurs et / ou distributeur peuvent remplir un rôle malaxant qui peut notamment permettre une modification de la texture du produit à appliquer ou sa viscosité. De plus, l'effet malaxage des billes d'appl ication peut permettre un mélange de produits réactifs en provenance de deux réservoirs distincts et ce juste avant leur mise en contact avec la peau.  Indeed, the applicator and / or dispenser elements may fulfill a kneading role which may in particular allow a modification of the texture of the product to be applied or its viscosity.
