  • Patent number: 8092109
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention disclose an applicator distributor of a pasty product that flows by gravity, the applicator distributor comprising a body comprising a main reservoir for said product, a distribution head comprising at least one orifice and a removable cap. The cap forms a means for vertically placing the applicator distributor, and wherein the applicator distributor is a downward-facing applicator distributor, so that the product can flow by gravity to the head, and wherein, the head comprises: a peripheral member forming a means of attachment to said reservoir, a central member comprising a central arch obstructing said main opening and comprising a portion forming an application surface of said product, and at least one flexible element that can be deformed under an axial strain, and can form a secondary reservoir that can house a dose of said product, and that can be filled when said applicator distributor is facing downwards.

  • Patent number: 8091562
    Abstract: Applicator (1) for a cosmetic product, typically a mascara, comprising an application means (4) having an axial core (40) which is unitary with axial rod (3) at its lower part (31) and a stack (41) of a plurality of N elements which cooperate with axial core (40) through a typically central orifice (50) allowing the axial core (40) to extend therethrough, characterized in that: the elements are elements E (5) lacking complete rotation symmetry, and the axial core (40) and the plurality of elements E (5) operate jointly with an angular orientation means for elements E (5) with respect to axial direction (10), in a transverse plane (11) which is perpendicular to the axial direction (10), in a manner that each element Ei (5) is rotatably connected with axial core (40) and has a predetermined angular orientation ?i with respect to the axial core (40).

  • Patent number: 8056569
    Abstract: The applicator tip comprises: a) an application means comprising a rigid core and a plurality of flexible projections, b) an axial handle member having an axial direction and comprising an upper end adapted to be fixedly connected to a rod, and operatively associated with the rigid core through its lower end, and characterized in that: 1) the applicator tip has, along the axial direction, a length L0 ranging from 10 mm to 30 mm, application means having a length L1 which ranges from 6 mm to 15 mm, wherein L0=L1+L2, 2) the application means having a transverse width T, taken in a transverse plane, which is variable as a function of the axial distance L which varies from 0 to L1, the function T=f(L) having a maximum value of T1 for the transverse width when L is between 0.3.L1 and 0.7.L1.

  • Patent number: 8020942
    Abstract: A method for the manufacture of an applicator is described. The method is characterized in that: a) an application preform (5) is formed, b) at least one portion (50) of the preform (5) is transformed by machining, using a machining device (6) able to form in the preform (5) a plurality of typically transverse radial recesses (51) by removing material from the portion using a machining tool (60), thereby forming at least one machined component (7) fitted with a plurality of radial elements (70) of an application means (4), the machined component (7) being then, after cutting or possible lengthening, typically coupled to an axial rod (3).
