Abstract
An applicator for cosmetic product is disclosed, in particular for mascara, extending in a main longitudinal extension direction, referred to as the main direction, between a proximal end and a distal end opposite the proximal end. The applicator includes a structural support element, referred to as a support, and at least one branch. The support and the branch are interconnected by means of an articulation rigidly connected to the support. The support and the branch extend in the main direction, and the support, the branch and the articulation allow a flexibility of the branch in more than one direction from an orthonormal reference point (X, Y, Z) attached to the applicator.
Claims17
An applicator for cosmetic product extending in a main longitudinal extension direction, between a proximal end and a distal end opposite the proximal end in said main direction, said applicator comprising:
- a structural support and at least one branch, said support and said branch being interconnected by an articulation rigidly connected to said support, and,
- a plurality of protrusions projecting from said branch,
- wherein said support and said branch extend in said main direction, and
- wherein said support, said branch and said articulation allow a flexibility of the branch in more than one direction from an orthonormal reference point (X, Y, Z) attached to said applicator.
An applicator assembly comprising:
- an applicator comprising:
- a structural support and a plurality of branches, said support and said branch being interconnected by an articulation rigidly connected to said support, and,
- a plurality of protrusions projecting from said branches,
- wherein said support and said branches extend in said main direction, and
- wherein said support, said branches and said articulation allow a flexibility of each of the branches in more than one direction from an orthonormal reference point (X, Y, Z) attached to said applicator;
- a bottle receiving a cosmetic product,
- said assembly occupying two positions comprising a first position of use in which a user can apply make-up with said applicator, and a second rest position, in which said applicator is positioned inside the bottle,
- a wiper assembled with said bottle so as to wipe said applicator during the passage thereof from the rest position to the position of use,
- said branches of the applicator converging towards the main direction when in contact with the wiper, so as to avoid any removal of said branches during passage of the applicator assembly from the position of use to the rest position and/or from the rest position to the position of use.
An applicator assembly comprising:
- an applicator comprising:
- a structural support and at least one branch, said support and said branch being interconnected by an articulation rigidly connected to said support, and,
- a plurality of protrusions projecting from said at least one branch,
- wherein said support and said at least one branch extends in said main direction, and
- wherein said support, said at least one branch and said articulation allow a flexibility of the at least one branch in more than one direction from an orthonormal reference point (X, Y, Z) attached to said applicator;
- a bottle receiving a cosmetic product,
- said assembly occupying two positions comprising a first position of use in which a user can apply make-up with said applicator, and a second rest position, in which said applicator is positioned inside the bottle,
- a wiper assembled with said bottle so as to wipe said applicator during passage thereof from the rest position to the position of use, and,
- a protection region in a vicinity of the distal end formed integrally with the support, said protection region avoiding any removal of said at least one branch during the passage of the applicator assembly from the position of use to the rest position.
