  • Publication number: 20260108045
    Abstract: A device for applying a cosmetic product in stick form, aligned on a main axis. The device includes a cup, a guide, and a tubular sheath. The cup receives the stick and includes a radial lug. The guide includes a tubular body with an upper exit opening of the stick and a lower insertion opening for the cup. The cup is mounted to slide axially. The guide includes an axial slot extending upward from the bottom, traversed by the cup's lug. The axial slot is open at the level of the upper opening. The tubular body is rotatably mounted within the tubular sheath. The sheath includes an internal helical groove that receives the lug. Rotation of the guide relative to the sheath causes an axial movement of the cup between extreme extended and retracted positions. The helical groove is open at the upper end-of-stroke.

  • Publication number: 20250204675
    Abstract: An applicator cosmetic product includes a core and a plurality of protuberances. The core extends along a longitudinal extension direction from a first end (e.g., a proximal end) towards a second, opposite free end (e.g., a distal end). The protuberances project from the core towards an opposite free end. The protuberances can be arranged in a plurality of first longitudinal rows regularly distributed around the core, and in a plurality of second longitudinal rows regularly distributed around the core and alternating regularly with the first longitudinal rows. The first longitudinal rows have, along the core, a rectilinear increase in the height of the protuberances from the proximal end towards a distal portion. The second longitudinal rows have, along the core, a rectilinear decrease in the height of the protuberances from the proximal end towards the distal portion.
