Description

Applicateur pour produit cosmétique et ensemble applicateur associé  Applicator for cosmetic product and associated applicator assembly
L'invention concerne un applicateur pour produit cosmétique et un ensemble applicateur associé. The invention relates to an applicator for a cosmetic product and an associated applicator assembly.
On connaît des ensembles applicateur pour produit cosmétique, notamment pour produit cosmétique destiné à être appliqué sur les cils tel que du mascara, comprenant un récipient contenant le produit cosmétique et un applicateur adapté pour être fixé de manière amovible sur le récipient. Cosmetic product applicator assemblies are known, in particular for a cosmetic product intended to be applied to eyelashes such as mascara, comprising a container containing the cosmetic product and an applicator adapted to be removably attached to the container.
Le récipient comprend généralement un corps, le corps comprenant des parois délimitant un réservoir dans lequel est contenu le produit cosmétique, et un goulot définissant une ouverture par laquelle le produit cosmétique peut être extrait.  The container generally comprises a body, the body comprising walls defining a reservoir in which the cosmetic product is contained, and a neck defining an opening through which the cosmetic product can be extracted.
L'ensemble applicateur comprend généralement un bouchon adapté pour être fixé sur le goulot, une tige s'étendant à partir du bouchon et un applicateur fixé à une extrémité libre de la tige.  The applicator assembly generally includes a cap adapted to be attached to the neck, a stem extending from the plug and an applicator attached to a free end of the stem.
Lorsque le bouchon est fixé sur le goulot, la tige et l'applicateur s'étendent à l'intérieur du réservoir. L'applicateur est immergé dans le produit cosmétique contenu dans le réservoir.  When the cap is fixed on the neck, the rod and the applicator extend inside the tank. The applicator is immersed in the cosmetic product contained in the reservoir.
Pour utiliser l'applicateur, l'utilisateur détache le bouchon du goulot et extrait l'applicateur du récipient. L'applicateur est essoré lors de son extraction par un essoreur disposé, à l'intérieur du réservoir, au niveau du goulot.  To use the applicator, the user detaches the neck cap and extracts the applicator from the container. The applicator is dewatered during its extraction by a wiper disposed inside the reservoir at the neck.
Un effet parfois recherché est celui de grouper les cils. Il est cependant difficile à obtenir pour un utilisateur non expérimenté.  An effect sometimes sought is that of grouping the eyelashes. However, it is difficult to obtain for an inexperienced user.
Un but de la présente invention consiste à proposer un applicateur qui permet de simplifier le maquillage des cils d'un utilisateur, en particulier lorsque le but visé est de grouper les cils. Ainsi, l'invention concerne un applicateur pour produit cosmétique, notamment pour mascara, comprenant une âme, ladite âme s'étendant selon une direction principale d'extension longitudinale, dite direction principale ; une pluralité de bandes de matière, lesdites bandes faisant saillie à partir de l'âme, selon une direction sensiblement orthogonale à la direction principale, sur au moins une portion angulaire de l'âme ; et une pluralité de séparateurs, lesdits séparateurs faisant saillie à partir de l'âme entre lesdites bandes de matières, sensiblement suivant la direction principale, lesdites bandes et lesdits séparateurs définissant des logements. Autrement dit, les bandes de matières sont obtenues par une droite qui se déplace sensiblement orthogonalement à ladite direction principale. Ainsi, lesdites bandes de matière pourront être orientées transversalement à ladite direction principale, en particulier orthogonalement. An object of the present invention is to provide an applicator that simplifies the makeup of eyelashes of a user, especially when the purpose is to group the eyelashes. Thus, the invention relates to an applicator for a cosmetic product, in particular for mascara, comprising a core, said core extending in a main direction of longitudinal extension, called the main direction; a plurality of strips of material, said strips protruding from the core, in a direction substantially orthogonal to the main direction, on at least a portion angular of the soul; and a plurality of separators, said separators protruding from the web between said webs of material substantially in the main direction, said webs and said separators defining housings. In other words, the strips of material are obtained by a line that moves substantially orthogonally to said main direction. Thus, said strips of material may be oriented transversely to said main direction, in particular orthogonally.
Les bandes de matières de l'applicateur de l'invention guident les cils, tandis que ces derniers se chargent en mascara sur les séparateurs. Les séparateurs permettent ainsi de charger les cils de manière standardisée, tandis que les bandes de matière les regroupent de manière régulière. The strips of material of the applicator of the invention guide the eyelashes, while they load mascara on the separators. The separators thus make it possible to load the eyelashes in a standardized manner, while the strips of material group them together in a regular manner.
L'applicateur de l'invention permet de la sorte l'obtention de cils groupés, notamment en forme en pointe, et chargés de manière conséquente en produit cosmétique. L'effet de maquillage obtenu avec un tel applicateur est donc régulier et structuré.  The applicator of the invention thus makes it possible to obtain bundled eyelashes, in particular in point form, and consequently loaded with cosmetic product. The makeup effect obtained with such an applicator is therefore regular and structured.
De plus, la rigidité des bandes de matières et des séparateurs de l'invention, par rapport à des protubérances généralement souples, permet d'imposer une séparation efficace des cils.  In addition, the rigidity of the strips of materials and separators of the invention, compared to generally flexible protuberances, allows to impose effective separation of the eyelashes.
L'applicateur selon l'invention permet ainsi l'obtention d'un effet de maquillage unique, que l'applicateur soit utilisé par une personne novice ou par une personne experte en maquillage, ceci en guidant le maquillage des cils de l'utilisateur, quelle que soit la force avec laquelle cette personne appuie sur ses cils.  The applicator according to the invention thus makes it possible to obtain a unique makeup effect, whether the applicator is used by a novice person or by an expert in makeup, this by guiding the makeup of the eyelashes of the user, whatever the force with which that person presses on his eyelashes.
En effet, la rigidité des bandes de matière et des séparateurs empêche leur pliage lorsque la force d'appui sur les cils est élevée : ceci explique aussi pourquoi l'effet de maquillage obtenu reste le même quelle que soit la personne qui utilise l'applicateur de l'invention.  Indeed, the rigidity of the material strips and separators prevents their folding when the support force on the eyelashes is high: this also explains why the makeup effect obtained remains the same regardless of the person who uses the applicator of the invention.

L'applicateur 10 selon l'invention comprend aussi une pluralité de bandes de matière 20, lesdites bandes 20 faisant saillie à partir de l'âme 12 entre lesdites extrémités proximale 13 et distale 15 (voir figures 1 à 3). The core 12 has here a first end, said proximal end 13, and a second end, said distal end 15, opposite the proximal end 13 along the main direction X (see Figure 2). The core 12 is further extended by a sleeve 14 intended to be assembled with a rod allowing the user to manipulate the applicator 10. The applicator 10 according to the invention also comprises a plurality of material strips 20, said strips 20 protruding from the core 12 between said proximal 13 and distal 15 ends (see FIGS. 1 to 3).
Ces bandes de matière 20 font saillie à partir de l'âme 12, suivant une direction sensiblement orthogonale à la direction principale X. De plus, ces bandes de matière 20 s'étendent, de préférence, sur au moins une portion angulaire de l'âme 12.  These strips of material 20 protrude from the core 12, in a direction substantially orthogonal to the main direction X. In addition, these strips of material 20 preferably extend over at least one angular portion of the soul 12.
Dans l'exemple illustré ici, les bandes de matière 20 s'étendent sur toute la périphérie radiale de l'âme 12 mais elles pourraient s'étendre sur une portion angulaire plus faible, par exemple la moitié, pour alterner avec d'autres types de protubérances. In the example illustrated here, the material strips 20 extend over the entire radial periphery of the core 12, but they could extend over a smaller angular portion, for example half, to alternate with other types. protuberances.
Les bandes de matières 20 servent de guides pour les cils. Elles groupent les cils. En particulier, l'exemple d'applicateur 10 ici représenté permet de regrouper les cils en six ou sept groupes distincts car il présente huit bandes de matières 20 particulièrement saillantes à partir de l'âme 12 (voir figure 1 ).  The strips of material serve as guides for the eyelashes. They group the eyelashes. In particular, the example of applicator 10 represented here makes it possible to group the eyelashes into six or seven distinct groups because it has eight strips of material 20 that are particularly prominent from the core 12 (see FIG. 1).
Il est à noter que le guidage des cils pourra encore être amélioré par des stries prévues sur la périphérie libre des bandes de matière 20 (mode de réalisation non représenté ici). Ces stries agissent alors comme des dents qui favorisent le peignage des cils.  It should be noted that the guidance of the eyelashes can be further improved by striations provided on the free periphery of the strips of material 20 (embodiment not shown here). These streaks then act as teeth that promote the combing of the eyelashes.
L'applicateur 10 de l'invention comprend aussi une pluralité de séparateurs 30, lesdits séparateurs 30 faisant saillie à partir de l'âme 12 entre lesdites bandes de matières 20, sensiblement suivant la direction principale X (voir figure 3). The applicator 10 of the invention also comprises a plurality of separators 30, said separators 30 projecting from the core 12 between said strips of material 20, substantially in the main direction X (see FIG. 3).
Les séparateurs 30 sont rigides. On entend par « rigides », des séparateurs The separators 30 are rigid. "Rigid" means separators
30 non déformables, ou encore, non élastiques. Autrement dit, les séparateurs 30 ne présentent pas de flexibilité relative permettant aux bandes de matières 20 de se rapprocher les unes des autres, notamment suivant la direction principale X de l'âme 12, par exemple lors de l'utilisation de l'applicateur 10. 30 non-deformable, or else, non-elastic. In other words, the separators 30 have no relative flexibility allowing the material strips 20 to approach each other, in particular along the main direction X of the core 12, for example during the use of the applicator 10 .
Les séparateurs 30 présentent chacun un bord 32 sur lesquels les cils se chargent en produit cosmétique. De plus, les séparateurs 30 présentent chacun une dépression. Ladite dépression se situe entre deux bandes de matière 20 adjacentes le long de la direction principale X, de préférence à égale distance desdites deux bandes 20. Autrement dit, les séparateurs 30 ont chacun une forme en « V », voire une forme concave, entre deux bandes de matière 20 longitudinalement adjacentes. Un séparateur 30 présente donc une hauteur h3o qui varie linéairement selon sa direction d'extension X, ladite hauteur h30 étant mesurée à partir de l'âme 12 et perpendiculairement à X. Cette variation de hauteur h30 est négative d'une bande 20 à la dépression, puis positive de la dépression à l'autre bande 20', de manière symétrique (voir figure 3). The separators 30 each have an edge 32 on which the eyelashes are loaded with cosmetic product. In addition, the separators 30 each have a depression. Said depression is situated between two strips of adjacent material along the main direction X, preferably equidistant from said two strips 20. In other words, the separators 30 each have a "V" shape, or even a concave shape between two strips of longitudinally adjacent material. A separator 30 thus has a height h 3 o which varies linearly in its direction of extension X, said height h 30 being measured from the core 12 and perpendicular to X. This variation in height h 30 is negative of a strip 20 to the depression, then positive from the depression to the other strip 20 ', symmetrically (see Figure 3).
Outre la capacité de chargement offerte par leur bord 32, ces séparateurs 30 présentent l'avantage de participer au guidage des cils grâce à leur forme en « V ». Lesdites bandes 20 et lesdits séparateurs 30 définissent des logements 40. In addition to the loading capacity offered by their edge 32, these separators 30 have the advantage of participating in guiding the eyelashes with their "V" shape. Said strips 20 and said separators 30 define housings 40.
Les logements 40 servent de réservoir à produit cosmétique, en particulier de réservoir à mascara. The housings 40 serve as a reservoir for a cosmetic product, in particular a mascara reservoir.
La figure 3 permet de décrire en détails l'exemple d'applicateur 10 selon l'invention. Certaines parties de cette figure ont été volontairement noircies afin d'aider la compréhension de la présente description. FIG. 3 makes it possible to describe in detail the example of applicator 10 according to the invention. Parts of this figure have been purposely blackened to aid understanding of the present description.
Ainsi, sur cette figure, deux bandes de matière 20, 20' ont été noircies, dites première bande 20 et seconde bande 20' par la suite. Ces deux bandes de matière 20, 20' sont adjacentes le long de l'axe X. On constate qu'elles sont angulairement crénelées, c'est-à-dire qu'elles présentent une succession angulaire de sommets et de creux, en particulier au niveau de leur périphérie.  Thus, in this figure, two strips of material 20, 20 'have been blackened, said first strip 20 and second strip 20' thereafter. These two strips of material 20, 20 'are adjacent along the axis X. We note that they are angularly crenellated, that is to say that they have an angular succession of peaks and valleys, in particular at their periphery.
Les bandes de matière 20, 20' selon l'invention peuvent encore être angulairement ondulées et/ou gaufrées. De manière générale, chaque bande de matière 20, 20' s'étend en zig-zag. Encore autrement dit, chaque bande de matière 20, 20' définit une succession angulaire de plis présentant des sommets et des creux, vue d'une même extrémité de l'âme 12, par exemple par un observateur placé au niveau de l'extrémité distale 15 de l'âme 12, lesdits plis formant entre eux des interstices angulaires.  The strips of material 20, 20 'according to the invention can also be angularly wavy and / or embossed. In general, each strip of material 20, 20 'extends in a zigzag pattern. In other words, each strip of material 20, 20 'defines an angular succession of folds having peaks and valleys, seen from the same end of the core 12, for example by an observer placed at the distal end. 15 of the core 12, said folds forming angular interstices between them.
Lesdits plis forment donc un motif qui se répète autour de l'âme 12, ce motif pouvant différer, notamment en terme de phase, entre deux bandes de matières 20, 20' sensiblement transversales à l'âme 12 qui se succèdent le long de l'axe X.  Said plies thus form a pattern which repeats around the core 12, this pattern being able to differ, in particular in terms of phase, between two strips of material 20, 20 'substantially transverse to the core 12 which follow one another along the length X axis.
Ici, indépendamment desdits plis, les bandes de matière 20 présentent une orientation générale sensiblement orthogonale à l'âme 12. En variante, les bandes de matières pourront présenter une orientation générale inclinée. Here, independently of said folds, the material strips 20 have a general orientation substantially orthogonal to the core 12. Alternatively, the strips of material may have an inclined general orientation.
Elles présentent l'avantage de créer des zones de convergences qui se succèdent autour de l'âme 12. Pour cela, les bandes de matière 20, 20' sont préférentiellement disposées en opposition de phase afin que, de façon alternée, autour de l'âme 12, on constate la succession angulaire suivante : un sommet et un creux en vis-à-vis, notamment non reliés par un séparateur 30, 30' et à faible distance l'un de l'autre, puis deux interstices en vis-à-vis, puis un sommet et un creux en vis-à-vis, notamment reliés par un séparateur 30, 30' et à plus grande distance l'un de l'autre, puis deux interstices en vis-à-vis, et ainsi de suite. Un interstice est ici défini par le volume délimité par deux sommets et un creux successifs au sein d'une même bande 20, 20'. Les cils sont donc regroupés, relâchés, regroupés, relâchés, entre les bandes 20, 20' lorsque l'applicateur est utilisé par un mouvement de rotation autour de son axe d'extension longitudinal X, sur les cils.  They have the advantage of creating zones of convergences which follow each other around the core 12. For this, the strips of material 20, 20 'are preferably arranged in opposition of phase so that, alternately, around the 12, the following angular succession is observed: a vertex and a hollow facing each other, in particular not connected by a separator 30, 30 'and at a short distance from one another, then two interstices facing each other. opposite, then a top and a hollow vis-à-vis, in particular connected by a separator 30, 30 'and at a greater distance from each other, then two interstices vis-à-vis, and and so on. An interstice is here defined by the volume delimited by two successive vertices and a hollow within the same band 20, 20 '. The eyelashes are thus grouped, released, grouped, released, between the strips 20, 20 'when the applicator is used by a rotational movement about its axis of longitudinal extension X, on the eyelashes.
Ce guidage est facilité par des surfaces chanfreinées, repérées 22 sur la figure 3. Ces surfaces chanfreinées sont prévues sur les sommets desdites bandes de matière 20, au niveau de leur périphérie. Cela permet d'amener un groupe de cils entre les deux bandes 20, 20'. Les chanfreins 22 accentuent donc l'effet de regroupement donné aux cils.  This guidance is facilitated by chamfered surfaces, marked 22 in FIG. 3. These chamfered surfaces are provided on the tops of said strips of material 20, at their periphery. This makes it possible to bring a group of eyelashes between the two strips 20, 20 '. The chamfers 22 therefore accentuate the grouping effect given to the eyelashes.
La distance d séparant deux bandes adjacentes 20, 20' le long de la direction principale X est comprise entre dmin (entre un creux de la première bande 20 et un sommet de la seconde bande 20', vus de l'extrémité distale 15 de l'âme 12) et dmax (entre un sommet de la première bande 20 et un creux de la seconde bande 20', vus de l'extrémité distale 15 de l'âme 12). La distance dmir, est sensiblement égale, par exemple, à 1 ,6mm et dmax sensiblement égale, par exemple, à 1 ,7mm. The distance d between two adjacent strips 20, 20 'along the main direction X lies in the range of m in (between a recess of the first strip 20 and a top of the second strip 20', seen from the distal end 15 of the core 12) and d max (between a top of the first band 20 and a hollow of the second band 20 ', seen from the distal end 15 of the core 12). The distance d mir , is substantially equal, for example, to 1, 6mm and d max substantially equal, for example, to 1, 7mm.
De plus, il est à noter que les séparateurs 30, 30' sont situés entre les sommets de la première bande 20 et les creux de la seconde bande 20', vus de l'extrémité distale 15 de l'âme 12. Autrement dit, lesdits séparateurs sont situés aux endroits où lesdites deux bandes de matière 20, 20' sont les plus éloignées.  In addition, it should be noted that the separators 30, 30 'are located between the apices of the first band 20 and the hollows of the second band 20', seen from the distal end 15 of the core 12. In other words, said separators are located at the places where said two strips of material 20, 20 'are furthest apart.
II est encore à noter que les creux de la première bande 20 et les sommets de la seconde bande 20', vus de l'extrémité distale 15 de l'âme 12, sont écartés d'une distance dmir, et qu'ils définissent un passage périphérique, autour de l'âme 12, ne présentant que la partie en dépression des séparateurs 30, 30'. La distance moyenne d séparant deux bandes adjacentes 20, 20' le long de la direction principale X est sensiblement constante, aux ondulations prêts, et appartient à l'intervalle de valeurs [1 ; 2mm], en étant sensiblement égale, par exemple, à 1 ,64mm. Un écartement plus élevé entre lesdites deux bandes 20, 20' pourrait atténuer l'effet de maquillage recherché. It should also be noted that the troughs of the first band 20 and the vertices of the second band 20 ', seen from the distal end 15 of the core 12, are spaced apart by a distance from mir and that they define a peripheral passage around the core 12 having only the depressed portion of the separators 30, 30 '. The average distance d separating two adjacent strips 20, 20 'along the main direction X is substantially constant, at the ready corrugations, and belongs to the range of values [1; 2mm], being substantially equal, for example, to 1.64mm. A higher spacing between said two strips 20, 20 'could attenuate the desired makeup effect.
La structure de l'applicateur de l'invention permet ainsi de regrouper les cils sur une largeur constante et de les séparer sur une largeur constante.  The structure of the applicator of the invention thus makes it possible to group the eyelashes over a constant width and to separate them on a constant width.
Le détail de la figure 3 illustre plusieurs séparateurs 30, 30' selon l'invention. Les deux séparateurs repérés 30, 30' sont angulairement adjacents. Comme évoqué ci-dessus, ils définissent, avec les deux bandes de matière référencées 20, 20', un logement 40. Les séparateurs 30, 30' sont situés dans les interstices des bandes 20, 20'. Les bords libres des séparateurs 30, 30' présentent la même hauteur h3o que les bandes de matière 20, 20' correspondantes au niveau où lesdits séparateurs 30, 30' et lesdites bandes 20, 20' se rejoignent. The detail of FIG. 3 illustrates several separators 30, 30 'according to the invention. The two separators marked 30, 30 'are angularly adjacent. As mentioned above, they define, with the two material bands referenced 20, 20 ', a housing 40. The separators 30, 30' are located in the interstices of the strips 20, 20 '. The free edges of the separators 30, 30 'have the same height h 3 o as the material strips 20, 20' corresponding to the level where said separators 30, 30 'and said strips 20, 20' meet.
L'applicateur 10 est essoré avant d'être utilisé, en particulier par un essoreur disposé au niveau du goulot d'un récipient destiné à contenir le produit cosmétique.The applicator 10 is dewatered before being used, in particular by a wiper disposed at the neck of a container for containing the cosmetic product.
Lors de cet essorage, les bandes de matières 20, 20' sont particulièrement essorées au niveau de leur périphérie libre. Après essorage, lesdites bandes 20, 20' présentent donc une quantité limitée de produit cosmétique sur leur périphérie sauf à l'intérieur des interstices. During this spin, the material strips 20, 20 'are particularly dewatered at their free periphery. After wringing, said strips 20, 20 'therefore have a limited amount of cosmetic product on their periphery except inside the interstices.
Comme évoqué ci-dessus, les séparateurs 30, 30' présentent chacun un bord 32, 32'. Les bords 32, 32', grâce à leur forme en « V », emportent le produit cosmétique, même à travers l'essoreur et permettent ainsi de mettre à disposition de l'utilisateur un applicateur 10 chargé en produit, en particulier au niveau de la dépression du séparateur 30, 30'.  As mentioned above, the separators 30, 30 'each have an edge 32, 32'. The edges 32, 32 ', thanks to their "V" shape, carry the cosmetic product, even through the wiper and thus make available to the user an applicator 10 loaded with product, in particular at the level of the depression of the separator 30, 30 '.
Ainsi, l'applicateur 10 selon l'invention permet le chargement des cils, en plus de leur regroupement grâce aux bandes 20, 20'.  Thus, the applicator 10 according to the invention allows the loading of the eyelashes, in addition to their grouping thanks to the strips 20, 20 '.
Les logements 40 accentuent cet avantage en embarquant une quantité supplémentaire de produit cosmétique, quantité supplémentaire qui sert de réserve au chargement des cils. Il est à noter, comme cela est particulièrement visible sur la figure 1 , que les extrémités libres des bandes de matière 20 forment une enveloppe E. Ladite enveloppe E présente une forme convexe sur l'exemple de la figure 1 . Cette forme conduit à un applicateur 10 présentant une forme sensiblement ovale entre les extrémités proximale 13 et distale 15. Par exemple, le diamètre extérieur de l'applicateur 10 - autrement dit le diamètre défini par les périphéries libres des bandes de matière 20 - sera sensiblement égal à 5mm au voisinage des extrémités proximale 13 et distale 15 et il passera par un maximum sensiblement égal à 8mm entre lesdites deux extrémités 13, 15. The dwellings 40 accentuate this advantage by loading an additional quantity of cosmetic product, an additional quantity which serves as a reserve for the loading of the eyelashes. It should be noted, as is particularly visible in Figure 1, that the free ends of the material strips 20 form an envelope E. Said envelope E has a convex shape in the example of Figure 1. This shape leads to an applicator 10 having a substantially oval shape between the proximal 13 and distal 15 ends. For example, the outer diameter of the applicator 10 - that is, the diameter defined by the free peripheries of the material strips 20 - will be substantially equal to 5mm in the vicinity of the proximal 13 and distal 15 ends and it will pass through a maximum substantially equal to 8mm between said two ends 13, 15.
Cet exemple n'est pas limitatif et l'applicateur 10 selon l'invention pourra présenter toute autre forme d'enveloppe sans que cela ne limite l'effet de maquillage recherché. Par exemple, l'enveloppe pourra être cylindrique droite, voire concave.  This example is not limiting and the applicator 10 according to the invention may have any other form of envelope without this limiting the desired makeup effect. For example, the envelope may be straight cylindrical or concave.
D'autre part, les bandes de matière 20 et les séparateurs 30 seront de préférence moulés avec le même plastique que l'âme 12, voire issue de matière de l'âme 12. Cela présente l'avantage de faciliter la fabrication de l'applicateur 10 selon l'invention. En effet, celui-ci présente des formes complexes qu'il est aisé d'obtenir par moulage plastique. On the other hand, the strips of material 20 and the separators 30 will preferably be molded with the same plastic as the core 12, or even from material of the core 12. This has the advantage of facilitating the manufacture of the applicator 10 according to the invention. Indeed, it has complex shapes that it is easy to obtain by plastic molding.
Ainsi, lesdites bandes de matière 20, comme les séparateurs 30 précédemment décrits, seront issus de matière de l'âme 12. Par exemple, l'âme 12, les bandes 20 et les séparateurs 30 pourront être moulés en un matériau à base de LDPE (polyéthylène basse densité). D'autres matériaux pourront être encore utilisés, à savoir la matière « EXACT » d'ExxonMobil ou la matière « HYTREL » de Dupont, ou un mélange de ces matériaux. Encore d'autres matières pourront être utilisées, par exemple : des Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE), du Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), des Copolymères styrène-butadiène-styrène (SBS) et styrène-éthylène- butylène-styrène (SEBS), voire du Polyamide (PA).  Thus, said strips of material 20, like the separators 30 previously described, will be derived from material of the core 12. For example, the core 12, the strips 20 and the separators 30 may be molded in a material based on LDPE (low density polyethylene). Other materials may still be used, namely the "EXACT" material of ExxonMobil or the "HYTREL" material of Dupont, or a mixture of these materials. Still other materials may be used, for example: Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE), Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) and styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene copolymers (SEBS), or even Polyamide (PA).
Comme cela est visible sur la figure 2, l'âme 12 sera de préférence pleine, de section transversale sensiblement circulaire, ladite section étant de préférence constante de l'extrémité proximale 13 à l'extrémité distale 15. Ladite section transversale pourra présenter un diamètre sensiblement égal à 2,5mm, par exemple. L'invention concerne aussi un ensemble applicateur pour produit cosmétique comprenant un récipient comprenant un corps formant un réservoir destiné à contenir le produit cosmétique, et un applicateur 10, tel que décrit ci-dessus, adapté pour être fixé sur le récipient, de sorte que l'applicateur 10 est logé à l'intérieur du réservoir. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the core 12 will preferably be solid, of substantially circular cross section, said section preferably being constant from the proximal end 13 to the distal end 15. Said cross section may have a diameter substantially equal to 2.5mm, for example. The invention also relates to an applicator assembly for a cosmetic product comprising a container comprising a body forming a reservoir intended to contain the cosmetic product, and an applicator 10, as described above, adapted to be fixed on the container, so that the applicator 10 is housed inside the reservoir.
L'applicateur 10 selon l'invention trouvera une application particulièrement intéressante pour les personnes souhaitant un effet de maquillage travaillé (cils groupés, en pointe, cils chargés en produit cosmétique) sans que cela ne leur prenne de temps, voire sans utiliser plusieurs applicateurs différents pour obtenir cet effet de maquillage. The applicator 10 according to the invention will find a particularly interesting application for people wishing a made-up makeup effect (grouped eyelashes, pointed, eyelashes loaded with cosmetic product) without it taking them time, or without using several different applicators to achieve this makeup effect.
Il est aussi à noter que des variantes de réalisation sont bien sûr possibles. Notamment il est aussi envisageable, dans des exemples de réalisation supplémentaires, que l'applicateur comporte des protubérances faisant saillie à partir de l'âme, au moins sur une portion angulaire de celle-ci. It should also be noted that variant embodiments are of course possible. In particular, it is also conceivable, in additional exemplary embodiments, that the applicator comprises protuberances projecting from the core, at least over an angular portion thereof.
