Abstract
The disclosure provides a method of fabricating an applicator member for applying a liquid cosmetic, the method comprising a step of making a porous core out of sintered material and a step of overmolding a shell on the porous core, the shell including at least one inlet orifice for admitting liquid cosmetic into the core and at least one dispenser orifice for dispensing liquid cosmetic by means of the core. The disclosure also provides an applicator member obtained by the method and an applicator comprising such an applicator member and a reservoir.
Claims13
A method of fabricating an applicator member for applying a liquid cosmetic, the method comprising:
- making a porous core out of sintered material to form a plurality of pores such that the liquid cosmetic flows through the core by capillarity;
- and
- overmolding a shell on the porous core, the shell having at least one inlet orifice for admitting the liquid cosmetic into the porous core and at least one dispenser orifice for enabling the porous core to dispense the liquid cosmetic, wherein the porous core comprises at least one projection that projects out from the overmolded shell through the at least one dispenser orifice.
A system, comprising:
- an applicator member for applying a liquid cosmetic, the applicator member comprising a porous core and a shell, the applicator member being obtained by:
- making the porous core out of sintered material;
- and
- overmolding the shell on the porous core, the shell having at least one inlet orifice for admitting the liquid cosmetic into the porous core and at least one dispenser orifice for enabling the porous core to dispense the liquid cosmetic, wherein the porous core comprises at least one projection that projects out from the overmolded shell through the at least one dispenser orifice.
