Description

"Brosse perfectionnée pour le maquillage des cils de l'oeil""Advanced brush for making up the eyelashes of the eye"
La présente invention a essentiellement pour objet une brosse pour effectuer notamment le maquillage des cils de l'oeil avec du mascara.The present invention essentially relates to a brush for in particular making up the eyelashes of the eye with mascara.
On connaît depuis déjà un certain temps des brosses pour mascara comprenant essentiellement une tige formant manche et sur laquelle est implantée une multiplicité de poils.Brushes for mascara have been known for some time essentially comprising a rod forming a handle and on which a multiplicity of bristles is implanted.
Ces poils, qui sont le plus souvent rectilignes, peuvent être soit répartis autour de la tige pour constituer en quelque sorte une brosse ronde, soit implantés sur la tige de façon à réaliser une brosse plate comportant une ou plusieurs nappes de poils.These bristles, which are most often straight, can be either distributed around the rod to constitute a sort of round brush, or implanted on the rod so as to produce a flat brush comprising one or more layers of bristles.
Mais ces deux types de brosse présentent des inconvénients.However, these two types of brush have drawbacks.
Avec les brosses rondes, sachant que le maquillage doit s'effectuer à partir de la racine des cils sur la paupière jusqu'à l'extrémité des cils, il y a en début de maquillage des risques de toucher l'oeil lorsqu'on approche la brosse de la racine des cils.With round brushes, knowing that makeup must be done from the root of the eyelashes on the eyelid to the end of the eyelashes, there is at the beginning of makeup risks of touching the eye when approaching the eyelash root brush.
Par ailleurs, avec les brosses plates à poils rectilignes et parallèles, il est très difficile ou à tout le moins très délicat de réaliser un parallélisme des poils de la brosse avec les cils. Autrement dit, le défaut d'alignement ou de parallélisme des poils de la brosse plate et des cils provoque en quelque sorte un entrecroisement des poils de la brosse et des cils, de sorte que la brosse ne traverse pas ou traverse très peu les cils. Ainsi le défaut d'interpénétration des poils de la brosse et des cils fera que le maquillage des cils sera défectueux.Furthermore, with flat brushes with straight and parallel bristles, it is very difficult or at least very delicate to achieve a parallelism of the bristles of the brush with the eyelashes. In other words, the lack of alignment or parallelism of the bristles of the flat brush and the eyelashes in a way causes the bristles of the brush and the eyelashes to intersect, so that the brush does not cross or cross the eyelashes very little. Thus the lack of interpenetration of the bristles of the brush and the eyelashes will cause the makeup of the eyelashes to be defective.
Aussi, la présente invention a pour but de remédier aux inconvénients ci-dessus en proposant une structure de brosse perfectionnée ne présentant aucun risque pour l'oeil et réalisant un maquillage des cils régulier et satisfaisant, même s'il est effectué par une personne non expérimentée.Also, the aim of the present invention is to remedy the above drawbacks by proposing an improved brush structure presenting no risk to the eye and providing regular eyelash makeup and satisfactory, even if carried out by an inexperienced person.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une brosse perfectionnée pour le maquillage des cils de l'oeil notamment et comprenant une tige portant au moins une nappe de poils implantés parallèlement sur ladite tige, caractérisée en ce qu'au moins les extrémités de tous les poils de la nappe sont recourbées identiquement suivant une seule et même direction dans un plan perpendiculaire à la tige.To this end, the subject of the invention is an improved brush for making up the eyelashes of the eye in particular and comprising a rod carrying at least one layer of bristles implanted parallel to said rod, characterized in that at least the ends of all the hairs of the sheet are curved identically in one and the same direction in a plane perpendicular to the rod.
Cette brosse est encore caractérisée en ce que la longueur de l'extrémité recourbée des poils représente au moins un sixième et de préférence au moins un quart de la longueur totale desdits poils.This brush is further characterized in that the length of the curved end of the bristles represents at least one sixth and preferably at least a quarter of the total length of said bristles.
Suivant une autre caractéristique de cette brosse, l'angle formé par la tangente en bout de l'extrémité recourbée des poils et la direction de la partie restante des poils implantés sur la tige est compris entre environ 30° et 130°.According to another characteristic of this brush, the angle formed by the tangent at the end of the curved end of the bristles and the direction of the remaining part of the bristles implanted on the rod is between approximately 30 ° and 130 °.
Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré, l'angle précité est compris entre 60 et 90°.According to a preferred embodiment, the above-mentioned angle is between 60 and 90 °.
La brosse selon cette invention, suivant un exemple de réalisation préféré, comprend deux nappes de poils implantées de façon que les poils des deux nappes soient symétriques par rapport à un plan contenant l'axe de la tige.The brush according to this invention, according to a preferred embodiment, comprises two plies of bristles implanted so that the bristles of the two plies are symmetrical with respect to a plane containing the axis of the rod.
Suivant un autre mode de réalisation, la brosse comprend deux nappes de poils implantés de façon que les poils des deux nappes soient symétriques par rapport à l'axe de la tige.According to another embodiment, the brush comprises two plies of bristles implanted so that the bristles of the two plies are symmetrical with respect to the axis of the rod.
La brosse selon cette invention est encore caractérisée en ce que la partie des poils entre la tige qui les porte et l'extrémité recourbée est sensiblement rectiligne ou légèrement arquée.The brush according to this invention is further characterized in that the part of the bristles between the rod which carries them and the curved end is substantially straight or slightly arched.
Suivant encore une autre caractéristique, la tige précitée et la ou les nappes de poils forment une pièce unique obtenue par moulage d'une matière synthétique.According to yet another characteristic, the abovementioned rod and the ply or plies of bristles form a single piece obtained by molding a synthetic material.
Mais d'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention apparaîtront mieux dans la description détaillée qui suit et se réfère aux dessins annexés, donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple, et dans lesquels :However, other advantages and characteristics of the invention will appear better in the detailed description which follows and refers to the appended drawings, given solely by way of example, and in which:
Les figures 1 à 3 sont des vues de face et en bout d'une brosse conforme à l'invention et portant une nappe de poils avec extrémités recourbées selon trois variantes montrées respectivement sur les trois figures.Figures 1 to 3 are front and end views of a brush according to the invention and carrying a ply of bristles with curved ends according to three variants shown respectively in the three figures.
La figure 4 est une vue en perspective d'une brosse selon la figure 1, 2 ou 3 en position de début de maquillage sur les cils d'un oeil.Figure 4 is a perspective view of a brush according to Figure 1, 2 or 3 in the start position of makeup on the eyelashes of one eye.
La figure 5 illustre en vue de face et en bout un autre mode de réalisation de brosse conforme à cette invention.Figure 5 illustrates in front view and at the end another embodiment of brush according to this invention.
La figure 6 est une vue en perspective de la brosse de la figure 5.FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the brush of FIG. 5.
La figure 7 est une vue en plan et de dessus de la partie supérieure d'un récipient contenant du mascara et susceptible de recevoir une brosse à une nappe ou deux nappes de poils selon cette invention.Figure 7 is a plan view and from above of the upper part of a container containing mascara and capable of receiving a brush with one layer or two layers of bristles according to this invention.
Les figures 8, 9 et 10 illustrent respectivement trois autres modes de réalisation, vus en bout, d'une brosse selon cette invention.Figures 8, 9 and 10 respectively illustrate three other embodiments, seen at the end, of a brush according to this invention.
On voit sur les figures 1 à 4 notamment qu'une brosse conforme à l'invention, et suivant un exemple de réalisation, comprend une tige 1 sur laquelle est implantée une nappe 2 de poils parallèles 3 et dont les extrémités libres 4 sont recourbées.We see in Figures 1 to 4 in particular that a brush according to the invention, and according to an exemplary embodiment, comprises a rod 1 on which is implanted a sheet 2 of parallel bristles 3 and whose free ends 4 are curved.
Plus précisément, les poils 3 qui sont tous parallèles entre eux et de même longueur, possèdent des extrémités 4 qui sont recourbées identiquement, comme on le voit bien sur la figure 4, et suivant une seule et même direction dans un plan perpendiculaire à la tige 1.More precisely, the bristles 3 which are all parallel to one another and of the same length, have ends 4 which are curved identically, as can be seen in FIG. 4, and in one and the same direction in a plane perpendicular to the rod 1.
La longueur des extrémités recourbées 4 des poils 3 représente de préférence au moins un quart de la longueur totale de ces poils, comme on le voit bien sur les figures.The length of the curved ends 4 of the bristles 3 preferably represents at least a quarter of the total length of these bristles, as can be seen in the figures.
On voit aussi sur les figures 1 à 4, 5 et 6 que la partie 5 des poils entre leur racine sur la tige 1 et l'extrémité recourbée 4 est sensiblement rectiligne, étant bien entendu qu'une telle partie 5 pourrait être arquée, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, et bien que cela ne soit pas représenté sur les figures précitées.It can also be seen in FIGS. 1 to 4, 5 and 6 that the part 5 of the bristles between their root on the rod 1 and the curved end 4 is substantially rectilinear, it being understood that such a part 5 could be arched, without depart from the scope of the invention, and although this is not shown in the aforementioned figures.
L'angle α formé par la tangente T (voir figures 1 à 3) en bout de l'extrémité recourbée 4 des poils 3 et la direction D de la partie restante 5 des poils 3 sera de préférence compris entre environ 30° et 130°, et plus préférablement entre 60 et 90°.The angle α formed by the tangent T (see Figures 1 to 3) at the end of the curved end 4 of the bristles 3 and the direction D of the remaining part 5 of the bristles 3 will preferably be between approximately 30 ° and 130 ° , and more preferably between 60 and 90 °.
Ainsi, comme on le voit sur la figure 2, l'angle α est égal à 90e. Sur la variante de la figure 1, cet angle α est voisin de 30°, et sur la figure 3, l'angle α est égal à environ 130°.Thus, as can be seen in FIG. 2, the angle α is equal to 90 e . In the variant of FIG. 1, this angle α is close to 30 °, and in FIG. 3, the angle α is equal to approximately 130 °.
Suivant un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, et comme on le voit clairement sur les figures 5, 6 et 8 à 10, deux nappes de poils 3, repérées respectivement en 2 et 6, sont implantées de façon opposée sur la tige 1.According to another embodiment of the invention, and as can be clearly seen in Figures 5, 6 and 8 to 10, two plies of bristles 3, identified respectively in 2 and 6, are located opposite to the rod 1 .
Dans la réalisation illustrée par les figures 5 et 6, les extrémités recourbées 4 des poils 3 des deux nappes 2 et 6 sont toutes recourbées suivant une même direction, ce qui signifie que les poils 3 des deux nappes sont symétriques par rapport à un plan contenant l'axe de la tige 1. L'angle α précité est dans ce cas là inférieur à 90°, mais il pourrait tout aussi bien être supérieur à 90°, comme expliqué précédemment à propos de la figure 3.In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6, the curved ends 4 of the bristles 3 of the two plies 2 and 6 are all bent in the same direction, which means that the bristles 3 of the two plies are symmetrical relative to a plane containing the axis of the rod 1. The aforementioned angle α is in this case less than 90 °, but it could just as well be greater than 90 °, as explained above with reference to FIG. 3 .
Le mode de réalisation de la figure 8 s'apparente quelque peu à celui des figures 5 et 6, à cela près cependant que la racine ou partie 5 des poils est ici plutôt arquée que rectiligne. C'est dire qu'ici la longueur de l'extrémité recourbée 4 des poils 3 représente plus de la moitié de la longueur totale desdits poils.The embodiment of FIG. 8 is somewhat similar to that of FIGS. 5 and 6, except however that the root or part 5 of the bristles is here more arcuate than straight. This means that here the length of the curved end 4 of the bristles 3 represents more than half of the total length of said bristles.
Contrairement aux réalisations des figures 5, 6 d'une part, et 8 d'autre part, on voit que dans les variantes illustrées par les figures 9 et 10, les extrémités 4 des poils 3 d'une nappe 2 sont recourbées suivant une direction opposée à celle des extrémités 4 des poils 3 de l'autre nappe 6, ce qui signifie que les poils des deux nappes 2, 6 sont symétriques par rapport à l'axe de la tige 1.Unlike the embodiments of FIGS. 5, 6 on the one hand, and 8 on the other hand, it can be seen that in the variants illustrated by FIGS. 9 and 10, the ends 4 of the bristles 3 of a ply 2 are bent in a direction opposite that of the ends 4 of the bristles 3 of the other ply 6, which means that the bristles of the two plies 2, 6 are symmetrical with respect to the axis of the rod 1.
Par ailleurs, dans la réalisation de la figure 9, on voit que l'angle α précité est voisin de 90°, tandis que dans la réalisation de la figure 10, cet angle α est supérieur à 90° et voisin de 130°, comme on l'a déjà décrit en référence à la figure 3.Furthermore, in the embodiment of FIG. 9, it can be seen that the above-mentioned angle α is close to 90 °, while in the embodiment of FIG. 10, this angle α is greater than 90 ° and close to 130 °, as we have already described it with reference to FIG. 3.
Tous les modes de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits peuvent constituer une brosse formant une pièce unique obtenue par moulage, c'est-à-dire avec une ou des nappes de poils 3 venant de moulage avec la tige 1 formant, comme cela est connu en soi, un manche de préhension de la brosse.All the embodiments which have just been described can constitute a brush forming a single piece obtained by molding, that is to say with one or more plies of bristles 3 coming from molding with the rod 1 forming, as is known per se, a handle for gripping the brush.
Une telle brosse pourra être introduite dans un récipient contenant du mascara et muni d'une partie supérieure comportant des fentes, comme on le voit bien sur la figure 7.Such a brush can be introduced into a container containing mascara and provided with an upper part comprising slots, as can be seen in FIG. 7.
Plus précisément, on voit sur cette figure que la partie supérieure 10 du récipient, formant en quelque sorte un racleur, comportera un orifice 11 pour le passage de la tige 1 de la brosse et deux fentes opposées 12 présentant sensiblement chacune la forme d'un Y. Ainsi, comme on le comprend, toutes les réalisations de brosse qui viennent d'être décrites, qu'il s'agisse de brosses à une ou deux nappes de poils, pourront être aisément introduites au travers des fentes 12. Ces fentes joueront le rôle d'un racleur à l'extraction de la brosse du récipient, de façon que la brosse soit imbibée de la quantité voulue et appropriée de mascara pour permettre le maquillage des cils 13, 14 de l'oeil O que l'on voit bien sur la figure 4.More specifically, it can be seen in this figure that the upper part 10 of the container, in a way forming a scraper, will include an orifice 11 for the passage of the rod 1 of the brush and two opposite slots 12 each substantially having the shape of a Y. Thus, as can be understood, all the brush embodiments which have just been described, whether they are brushes with one or two plies of bristles, can be easily introduced through slots 12. These slots will act as a scraper when the brush is removed from the container, so that the brush is soaked with the desired and appropriate quantity of mascara to allow the make-up of the eyelashes 13, 14 of the eye O which can be clearly seen in FIG. 4.
On voit bien sur cette figure que les extrémités recourbées et parallèles 4 des poils 3 de la brosse pénétreront idéalement entre les cils 13 à la manière d'un peigne qui, agissant sous les cils 13 de la paupière supérieure, depuis la racine des cils jusqu'à leur extrémité, assurera un maquillage efficace, homogène et régulier sur toute la longueur des cils. Autrement dit, les extrémités recourbées 4 des poils 3 auront, en début de maquillage, une fonction de séparation des cils 13 et, par simple rotation de la tige 1 autour de son axe, un maquillage efficace des cils sur toute leur longueur sera effectué.We can clearly see in this figure that the curved and parallel ends 4 of the bristles 3 of the brush will ideally penetrate between the eyelashes 13 in the manner of a comb which, acting under the eyelashes 13 of the upper eyelid, from the roots of the eyelashes to 'at their ends, will ensure effective, homogeneous and regular makeup over the entire length of the lashes. In other words, the curved ends 4 of the bristles 3 will have, at the start of makeup, a function of separating the eyelashes 13 and, by simple rotation of the rod 1 around its axis, effective makeup of the eyelashes over their entire length will be carried out.
II faut encore observer ici qu'avec une brosse à deux nappes opposées 2, 6 de poils 3 on pourra avantageusement, avec une seule main maquiller les cils des paupières inférieure et supérieure. Ainsi, si l'on se reporte par exemple à la figure 6, on comprend que la nappe 2 de poils 3 permettra le maquillage des cils 13 de la paupière supérieure et en faisant subir, avec la même main, une rotation de 180° à la brosse, la nappe 6 de poils 3 permettra le maquillage des cils 14 (voir figure 4) appartenant à la paupière inférieure.It should also be observed here that with a brush having two opposite layers 2, 6 of bristles 3 it will be possible advantageously, with one hand to make up the eyelashes of the lower and upper eyelids. Thus, if we refer for example to Figure 6, we understand that the sheet 2 of bristles 3 will allow the makeup of the eyelashes 13 of the upper eyelid and by subjecting, with the same hand, a rotation of 180 ° to the brush, the sheet 6 of bristles 3 will make up the eyelashes 14 (see FIG. 4) belonging to the lower eyelid.
Bien entendu, la présente invention n'est nullement limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et illustrés qui n'ont été donnés qu'à titre d'exemple. C'est ainsi que dans le cas d'une brosse à deux nappes, ces nappes pourraient parfaitement constituer les deux plans d'un dièdre à angle quelconque compris entre environ 60° et 180° et par exemple égal à 90°.Of course, the present invention is in no way limited to the embodiments described and illustrated which have been given only by way of example. Thus, in the case of a brush with two layers, these layers could perfectly constitute the two planes of a dihedral at any angle of between approximately 60 ° and 180 ° and for example equal to 90 °.
L'invention comprend donc tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits ainsi que leurs combinaisons si celles- ci sont effectuées suivant son esprit. The invention therefore includes all the technical equivalents of the means described and their combinations if these are carried out according to the spirit.
