Abstract: A cosmetic applicator brush is provided comprising a brush stem and a plurality of fiber arrays extending from the brush stem. The plurality of fiber arrays comprises at least a first zone defining at least a first pitch between adjacent fiber arrays located within the first zone, and at least a second zone defining at least a second pitch between adjacent fiber arrays located within the second zone, with the at least first pitch being different to the at least second pitch.

Abstract: A product dispenser for dispensing an elongate product strip includes, in one embodiment, a product container for storing the product to be dispensed, the container defining an opening through which the product can exit the container, a product flow regulator and a dispensing cover that overlies the product flow regulator. The product flow regulator is positioned proximate the container opening and comprises a flow passage that is in communication with the product container, the flow passage accommodating the product exiting the container. The product flow regulator terminates in at least one distribution aperture for allowing the product within the flow passage to exit the product flow regulator, the product flow regulator further comprising a reservoir for accommodating the product exiting the product flow regulator. The dispensing cover defines an elongate distribution slit proximate the reservoir of the product flow regulator, for allowing an elongate product strip to be dispensed.

Abstract: A tube head assembly includes a tube head that includes a lid, a cap that includes a punch and a spacing ring. The ring is dimensioned in such a way as to keep the punch spaced from the lid when the cap is screwed onto the neck. Further, the ring and the cap include lugs and recesses co-operating in such a way as to limit their rotation relative to one another in the direction of screwing of the cap onto the neck.

Abstract: A tube head assembly includes a tube head that includes a solid insert forming a lid closing the neck, a cap that includes a punch, and a removable spacing ring disposed against the shoulder around the neck. The ring and the cap are formed integrally in one piece and are joined by material bridges and configured in such a way as to allow sliding of the cap through the ring after breakage of the material bridges, characterised in that the ring includes internal stops adapted to limit the movement of the cap through the ring in such a way as to keep the punch spaced from the lid when the cap is screwed onto the neck and butts against the ring.

Abstract: A molded plastic applicator for cosmetics including a plastic panel lying substantially in a mold plane when formed and bent out of the mold plane to surround an extended longitudinal axis when the applicator is assembled. A plurality of openings or projections are formed in or on the panel so as to be oriented substantially in a common pull direction transverse to the mold plane when the panel lies in the mold plane and oriented substantially radially of the longitudinal axis when the panel is bent to surround the axis. A retainer holds the panel, when bent, in surrounding relation to the axis. The panel may be formed as a plurality of free-ended limbs, radiating from a hub through which the longitudinal axis extends, and bent down around the axis.

Abstract: An applicator is provided for a cosmetic product, in particular mascara. The applicator includes a brush which includes a core and fibers projecting from the core. At least one of the fibers includes an elongate portion made of a first material and a lobe arranged at an end of the elongate portion. The lobe in turn is made of a second material coating an end of the elongate portion.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a compact for a cosmetic product that includes a base; a lid, fitted movably to the base; a container disposed in the base that is suitable for containing a cosmetic product. The base or the lid includes a magnet suitable for cooperating with a magnetic element fixed to the lid or to the base opposite the magnet in order to effect the closure of the compact. Of note, the compact includes at least one component with high magnetic permeability defining with the magnet a magnetic system in such a way as to concentrate the magnetic field of the magnetic system on a face of the magnetic system disposed opposite the magnetic element.

Abstract: A method of making a cosmetic applicator assembly is described. The cosmetic applicator assembly includes an applicator head comprising an applicator front portion having at least a first surface, a second surface, and a multiplicity of apertures extending between the first surface and the second surface, at least one applicator component protruding from the at one least aperture and attachable to the applicator front portion, and an applicator back portion fixed to the applicator front portion so as to cover the second surface of the applicator front portion.

Abstract: A tube head is provided which is designed to be associated with a skirt so as to form an internal volume of the tube. The tube head includes a body formed from plastics material, that includes a neck having an opening at a first end, through which opening a product is removed from the internal volume of the tube, and a shoulder which is joined to a second end of the neck opposite the first end. The tube head also includes an insert arranged so as to be in contact with said shoulder and forming a barrier between the body and the product contained in the internal volume. The insert includes a central portion and a peripheral region. The central portion forms a non-perforated disc sealing the neck, and the peripheral region being mounted so as to as to be in contact with a complementary planar surface of the body.

Abstract: The invention relates to a container (1), such as a tub (5) for a cosmetic product, including: a base (10); a cover (20) which is arranged so as to be closed on the base (10); and a deformable pad (30) arranged between the base (10) and the cover (20), said pad (30) including a shell (33) and a seal (40) forming a sealed enclosure, as well as a fluid (36) contained in the shell, the pad (30) being arranged so as to apply a load onto the base (10) via the seal (40) when the cover (20) is closed on the base (10).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a head assembly comprising a tube head and a metal barrier insert, said method comprising steps of: providing a barrier insert comprising an intermediate metal layer being a disc having an inner opening, defining an upper surface, a lower surface, an inner edge and an outer edge, an upper layer made of plastic material covering said upper surface of the intermediate metal layer, and a lower layer made of plastic material covering said lower surface of the intermediate metal layer, heating at least one of said upper and lower layers, so that said upper or lower layer melts and the plastic material flows and covers at least the inner edge or the outer edge of the intermediate metal layer, attaching said barrier insert to the inner side of the shoulder of a plastic tube head.

Abstract: The present application relates to a cold effect applicator tip for cosmetic products, characterized in that the applicator tip is made of a plastic material comprising organic fillers, metallic fillers or a mixture of both. The present application also relates to a container for cosmetic products with a cold effect applicator tip is also provided, comprising a reservoir to contain a cosmetic product and an applicator tip such as above described.

Abstract: A cosmetic applicator assembly is shown. The cosmetic applicator assembly includes an applicator head comprising an applicator front portion having at least a first surface, a second surface, and a multiplicity of apertures extending between the first surface and the second surface, at least one applicator component protruding from the at one least aperture and attachable to the applicator front portion, and an applicator back portion fixed to the applicator front portion so as to cover the second surface of the applicator front portion.
