Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for applying to a substrate a metered amount of a product.
- This device which may include a tracing member, for example a brush, proves to be particularly useful in the field of cosmetics. But it can also be advantageously used in all other fields, where it is desirable to apply a colored product according to a precise outline, in drawing or in painting or for applying a medicament.
- patent FR 1,493,579 relates to an applicator forming a reservoir consisting of a hollow body, of cylindrical or polygonal section, the upper part of which forms a swan neck of so as to ensure the retention of a reserve of product.
- Such a device due to its shape, has obvious drawbacks in terms of its use. It has also been imagined (cf. in particular patent FR 7004074 published under No. 2,085,208) to ensure the application of such liquids by devices of the "felt tip pen” type.
- the essential drawbacks of these devices reside in the irregularity of the liquid flow and in the rapid clogging of the channels of the tip and of the reservoir.
- the reservoir consists of a hollow body, of circular or polygonal section, which is open at one of its ends and which can be in one piece or include at the other end a closure system allowing the filling of said reservoir by any one of its ends.
- This tank not permeable to air and to the product contained therein, is made of a material suitable for the nature of said product.
- This reservoir can for example be made of synthetic material, such as polyethylene, polypropylene or polyamide, but also a metal, such as aluminum, steel or brass, or in inorganic or organic glass.
- the sheath can have any shape and dimensions, but is advantageously constituted by the union of two hollow cylindrical elements of different sections, the largest section being on the side of the tank. It is made of a material allowing precise adjustment of the dimensions, for example metal, glass or synthetic material, and of course compatible with the nature of the product to be applied.
- the movable member has a shape and dimensions suitable for the shape of the sheath and the viscosity of the product. It can be set in motion by simply shaking the applicator or using a pusher or equivalent means. In the case where its movement is obtained by shaking, it must obviously be made of a sufficiently dense material so that its movement causes the necessary quantity of liquid towards the dispensing member, in this case, it is also essential to provide the limit switch mentioned above.
- the displacement of the movable element can be obtained using a pusher. This may consist of a rod fixed to the movable element, or forming an integral part thereof, which passes through the reservoir, protrudes from the cap, and extends outside so that it can be actuated by the user. .
- this pusher along the longitudinal axis of the applicator, one can exert on this device a thrust along this axis, by providing a return spring to bring the movable element back. It is also possible to provide for this displacement along the longitudinal axis by rotation of the rod.
- This type of embodiment proves to be particularly well suited for highly viscous liquids and even for products of pasty consistency.
- the material in which the mobile element is made up, and possibly its pusher, must obviously be compatible with the product to be applied; to this end, stainless steel will advantageously be used.
- the movable element will offer a volume of similar shape but of lower section and will be made of solid material. It is preferably made as a solid object of dense material so that when the applicator is shaken, the inertia of the mobile element, and the force which it possesses once in movement, facilitates its movement in the sheath .
- the end-of-travel device can be constituted by an independent element fixed to the sheath on the side of the reservoir, such as a clips or a pin, but it can also be formed by a projection provided on the internal wall of the sheath, by example in the form of a rush.
- the respective dimensions of the sheath and of the mobile element are very close so that the latter essentially produces a piston effect.
- the dispenser member that is to say the member in contact with the substrate intended to receive the liquid to be applied, is designed according to the use, in particular as regards its fineness and its flexibility. Indeed, it can really be a tracing member making it possible to form a precise drawing with the liquid to be applied.
- a brush made of natural bristles (for example marten) or synth ticks can be used.
- the bristles of this brush can be free, that is to say not glued but tightened by a ferrule, glued over part of their length so as to allow the ink to pass by capillarity.
- a tracing member an extruded elastic point, possibly multi-capillary, a plastic nib, for example of the palette nib type, a ball, a flexible point of foam, sintered metal or sintered plastic, etc. .,
- the dispensing member may be, for example, a spatula, a foam or tissue pad and the like.
- This distributor body may take specific forms for certain specific applications.
- the liquid to be applied is a mascara, a round brush or a metal worm can be used as the dispensing member.
- this dispensing member any known device, tracing or not, adapted to the nature of the substrate and of the product to be applied.
- This distributor member including the tracer member, is protected by a protective cap whose internal shape is such that, on the one hand, the volume of trapped air is as small as possible and, on the other hand, the surface ensuring the seal is relatively weak to avoid the pump effect (or drop effect).
- a protective cap whose internal shape is such that, on the one hand, the volume of trapped air is as small as possible and, on the other hand, the surface ensuring the seal is relatively weak to avoid the pump effect (or drop effect).
- the body of the applicator according to the invention can receive any covering suitable for its use.
- a variant of the applicator consists, in the case where it is desired to apply a colored product, to introduce into the tank the product not containing dye and / or pigment and to be provided, for example inside the metering and feeding member, a mass of a substance soluble in the liquid contained in the tank, this soluble substance containing the chosen dye (s) and / or pigments.
- the colorless liquid coming from the tank is loaded with coloring matter on contact with the soluble substance.
- applicator devices can also be used for the application of perfume, deodorant or antiperspirant, for the application of hair dye or bleach, in particular for the equalization of the roots or the formation of "wicks” or “sunburns” , or for the local application of depilatory product.
- the applicators according to the invention find numerous uses in the field drawing and painting. They make it possible to apply paints, inks, and in particular inks containing white pigments, and also products making it possible to erase the written characters, by screen effect or by dissolution.
- these applicators can be used in all cases where it is desired to apply a small to medium quantity of a product, colored or not, to a substrate, possibly along a precise route.
- Such applicators have the advantage of offering in a monobloc member the association of a reserve of product and of the dispenser member of this product. During use, the applicator must be shaken, one or more times, which allows a certain amount of product to pass over the dispensing member pushed out of the metering and feeding member by the movement of the movable element thereof. A fairly precise dosage of the quantity of product adapted to the surface to be covered is thus obtained, and consequently a very satisfactory regularity of the line when it is desired to obtain a precise plot. Furthermore, these applicators offer the advantage of practically total elimination of the risks of the product sinking as well as the risks of clogging. They also provide good protection for the product, which has no free surface in the air and whose evaporation is therefore extremely reduced.
- an applicator consists of a reservoir 1 delimited by a tubular body 25 which is closed at one end by a plug 2.
- a small metal ball 3 is located at inside the reservoir 1 to keep the liquid present homogeneous by shaking the applicator, which contains solid particles which easily tend to sediment.
- a ball is used in particular, for example steel or glass.
- the ball 3 can be completely free in the tank 1 or, if desired, partially by limiting its movements by appropriate means.
- the metering and supply member 30 comprises a sheath 4, one end of which fits into the open end of the tubular body 25; it is held in place by screwing into this body.
- the other end of this sheath 4 has a neck 31, which can be covered by a cap (not shown) and in which is formed an air orifice 7 facilitating the flow of liquid to the dispensing member 8
- This has the form of a tubular element partially inserted axially at the end of the neck 31.
- a movable member 5 comprising a portion of the body of metering and distribution 30 is located in- side ur e r i of the sheath 4.
- the movable member 5 according to the embodiment of Figure 1 comprises a cylindrical body 33 which is extended axially in the direction of the neck 31-by a rod 35.
- the displacements of the movable element 5 towards the rear of the applicator, are limited by a limit switch device 6 disposed at the inside the inner end of the sheath 4, while the movements towards the front are limited by the body 33 by contact with the wall situated where the hole in the sheath 4 is reduced in diameter so as to allow only the rod 35 to pass.
- this rod 35 thus keeps the channel of the dispensing member 8 free, and facilitates the flow of the liquid or pasty product.
- the dispenser member 8 according to Figure 1 consists of a brush 37 inserted at the end of the applicator.
- the applicator according to this figure 1 is easily used by shaking it axially, preferably with the cap in place. This results in a displacement of the movable element 5 towards the end-of-travel device 6 and a flow of the liquid from the reservoir 1 around the cylindrical body 33, in the channel formed in the neck 31 and in the dispensing member 8. By shaking the applicator, this causes the movable element 5 to move to the left in FIG. 1, which causes the rod 35 to pass a uniform quantity of liquid to the dispensing member 8 which will be conveyed to the brush 37.
- Figure 2 relates to a second embodiment of the applicator, which is a variant of that shown in Figure 1.
- the cylindrical body 33A similar to the body 33 of Figure 1, has a smaller diameter than that of the body 33 so as to leave room for a cylindrical envelope 9 disposed between it and the sheath 4.
- This cylindrical envelope 9 may be constituted by a soluble wax or a mixture of soluble waxes containing a coloring matter.
- the liquid flowing from the reservoir 1 through the wax envelope 9 becomes colored before reaching the distributor member 8.
- the movable element 5 according to the embodiments of Figures 1 and 2 can be modified so that it can be moved other than by shaking the applicator.
- the third embodiment of the applicator shown in Figure 3 includes a threaded rod 14 com taking at one end a threaded rod 45 which freely penetrates into the orifice provided in the neck 31.
- the movable member or piston nut 5 is screwed onto this rod 14.
- This piston nut 5 comprises two diametrically opposed pins 12 which are engaged in two slots 16 so that it cannot rotate by moving along the threaded rod 14 when the latter is rotated under the action of the knurled button 15.
- the amount of liquid or pasty product to be applied q u er can be easily adjusted by the number of rotation of the knurled knob 15, since the rotation thereof causes axial movement of the piston nut 5 which in turn is on the product by pushing it.
- the piston nut 5 has the same function as the mobile body cylin- d RIQUES 33 and 33A of Figures 1 and 2 respectively, that is to say, to push the product out of the reservoir 1.
- the rotation of the rod 45 makes it possible to keep the channel formed in the element 8 free and to facilitate the movement of the product there.
- the applicator according to the embodiment of Figure 4 comprises a reservoir 1 closed at the end opposite to the feed and metering member 4 by a seal 1 0 and a threaded plug 11.
- a movable rod 55 is mounted on the movable element or piston 5. the free end of the movable rod 55 is such that it can move freely in a channel formed in the supply member 9 distri- b ution 4. the piston 5 can move in the tank by sliding along the internal walls of the useful part 25 of the tank. It is integral with a cap 17 by means of a push rod 18, a spring 19 being interposed between the threaded plug 11 closing the useful part 25 of the reservoir and the internal face of the cap 17.
- the piston 5 has the same function as the cylindrical movable bodies 33 and 33A of Figures 1 and 2 respectively, that is to say to pass the product out of the tank. Furthermore, the rod 55 has the same function as that described above for the rod 35.
