技术问题语段:
The technical problem addressed in this patent is to improve cosmetic product applicators by creating an applicator with a unique structure that can provide different make-up results and functions. The applicator has a proximal end and a free end, with at least two rows of fingers that form two planar layers. The dimensions of the fingers decrease as the applicator is moved from the proximal end to the free end. The angle between the longitudinal direction of the applicator and each finger also decreases, creating a fern shape or tapered profile. The applicator can be particularly thin at the free end, allowing for precise deposition or a natural make-up effect. The two rows of fingers can be opposite each other or staggered to improve the make-up result.
技术功效语段:
The invention is about improving cosmetic product applicators by adding a new type of finger arrangement to the applicator. The new feature is that the fingers on the applicator have a smaller size towards the end where it is used. This allows for easier application and a more natural make-up effect. The applicator also has a space between the rows of fingers, which can serve as a reserve of product and limit the number of times the applicator needs to be dipped back into the reservoir. The new finger arrangement has a fern shape or tapered profile, which makes it easier to apply product to the eyelashes. The angle between the direction of the applicator and the most distal finger decreases as the applicator is used, which further contributes to the fern shape profile. The two rows of fingers face each other and can be staggered, which improves the make-up result.
权利要求:
1. A cosmetic product applicator (1) having a proximal end and a free end and comprising at least two rows (11, 12) of fingers (10) forming first and second planar layers respectively, both layers being distinct from and parallel to each other, the fingers having a dimension which decreases from the proximal end to the free end of the applicator, both rows (11, 12) facing each other, preferably these two rows being contiguous, the fingers being main fingers, an angle between a longitudinal direction (9) of the applicator and each main finger (10) decreasing from the proximal end to the free end of the applicator, the respective main fingers (10) of two of the rows (11, 11', 12, 12') facing each other are offset from each other along a longitudinal direction (9) of the applicator, the offset value between two consecutive fingers being variable along the applicator, the applicator further comprises secondary fingers (15) extending from at least one of the main fingers, preferably secondary fingers extending from each main finger, at least one of the fingers (10, 15) being lanceolate-shaped.
2. The applicator (1) according to claim 1, further comprising a third row of main fingers (11') extending in the first layer.
3. The applicator (1) according to the preceding claim, further comprising a fourth row of main fingers (12') extending in the second layer, preferably the fourth row facing the third row (11').
4. The applicator (1) according to any of the preceding claims, wherein at least some of the main fingers (10) of two of the rows (11, 11', 12, 12') extending in a same layer have respective opposite directions.
5. The applicator (1) according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the respective main fingers (10) of two of the rows (11, 11', 12, 12') facing each other are staggeredly disposed.
6. The applicator (1) according to any of the preceding claims, wherein in at least one of the rows, the main fingers (10) of the row (11, 11', 12, 12') all differ from each other in at least one of direction, dimension and/or shape.
7. The applicator (1) according to any of the preceding claims, wherein at least one of the main fingers (10) has an upper face (13) and a lower face (14), and at least one of the secondary fingers (15) associated with this main finger extends from either or both of these faces.
8. The applicator (1) according to any of the preceding claims, wherein at least one of the secondary fingers (15) extends in the same layer as the main finger (10) from which it extends, preferably all the secondary fingers of a main finger extend in the same layer as the main finger.
9. The applicator (1) according to any of the preceding claims, wherein at least one of the main fingers (10) and/or at least one of the secondary fingers (15) have a flattened cross-section along a direction parallel to a longitudinal direction (9) of the applicator.
10. The applicator (1) according to any of the preceding claims, wherein at least one of the main fingers (10) and/or at least one of the secondary fingers (15) generally is flattened-shaped, preferably all the main fingers and/or all the secondary fingers generally are flattened-shaped.
11. The applicator (1) according to any of the preceding claims, wherein at least one of the fingers (10, 15) has ridges on its surface, preferably all the fingers having ridges on their surfaces.
12. The applicator (1) according to any of the preceding claims, which generally is wavy-shaped.
13. The applicator (1) according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the applicator is made in one piece.
14. A cosmetics item (2) comprising an applicator according to any of the preceding claims.
15. The item (2) according to the preceding claim, wherein the item (1) comprises a wiper (6), at least one of the secondary fingers (15) having a thickness and a rigidity such that when passing the applicator through the wiper, the latter does not cause the finger to be deformed.
16. A method for manufacturing by additive synthesis an applicator (1) according to any of claims 1 to 13, comprising the steps of: - obtaining data relating to the applicator; and - additively synthesising the applicator by means of the data.
17. A computing file comprising data capable of being used by a computer program to control the implementation of the method according to the preceding claim using a machine to perform the additive synthesis.
18. An electronic recording medium comprising, in recorded form, data for implementing the method according to claim 16 using a machine to perform the additive synthesis.
19. A method for providing a file according to claim 17 over a telecommunication network for downloading it.
