Definitions

  • This invention relates to applicators for applying cosmetic substances to the skin of a user, including substances for skincare, makeup, fragrance, moisturisers, serums and the like.
  • Cosmetic substances can be applied to the skin of a user in many ways, from simply rubbing on with one’s fingers, to using devices such as brushes, sprays, roll-on applicators and so on.
  • an applicator for applying a cosmetic substance to the skin of a user comprising: a body having a metallic component defining a generally flat skin-contacting surface adapted to contact the skin of a user during application of said cosmetic substance; a cavity defined within the body having a loading opening at a first end to receive a complementary receptacle containing said cosmetic substance, and at a second end thereof having a formation for sealing engagement with a dispensing outlet of a complementary receptacle received in the cavity; a conduit defined within the body which provides communication between said formation at a first end thereof and an opening defined within said skin-contacting surface at a second end thereof; and a securing mechanism for securing a complementary receptacle within the cavity with the dispensing outlet of the receptacle in sealing engagement with said formation; whereby, with a complementary receptacle secured within the cavity and the skincontacting surface applied to a user’s skin, a cosmetics substance dispensed from the receptacle passes through the conduit
  • the application of a cosmetic substance through an opening in a metallic skincontacting surface allows the substance to be spread in a thin film between the skin-contacting-surface and the skin, assisting with an even application.
  • a metallic component which will typically be at ambient room temperature (e.g. 20°C), and significantly below the temperature of the user’s skin (typically 33°C - 35°C in moderate environments), provides a cooling effect which is beneficial to the absorption of the cosmetic substance and which is perceived as soothing and pleasurable to the user.
  • the cooling effect is provided without having to actively cool the applicator by refrigeration before use unlike products which are at freezing temperatures, the cooling effect is sufficiently gentle to avoid broken capillaries, redness and irritation
  • the applicator By providing the applicator with a securing mechanism which secures the receptacle from which the cosmetic substance is dispensed, with the dispensing outlet in sealed engagement with the inner end of the conduit within a cavity inside the body, contamination of the substance is avoided, exposure of the substance to air is minimised, and the receptacle can afterwards be removed and resealed (e.g. with a sealing cap) without ever touching the dispensing outlet.
  • said opening is formed in the centre of the skin-contacting surface.
  • said opening is formed in a recess provided in the skin-contacting surface.
  • said metallic component has a mass and a heat capacity sufficient to act as a heat sink for at least one minute when applied to the skin of a user.
  • said mass and heat capacity enable the metallic component, starting from an ambient temperature of 20°C, and applied to the facial skin of a typical user in a room-temperature environment, to maintain a temperature differential of at least 3°C for at least one minute.
  • said metallic component is a generally cylindrical body with one face thereof providing said skin-contacting surface, and with the conduit formed parallel to the cylindrical axis, the other face thereof being mounted against a housing in which the cavity is provided.
  • said metallic component is formed of a material selected from aluminium, an aluminium alloy, copper and a copper alloy.
  • said cavity is generally cylindrical to receive a cylindrical end of a complementary receptacle.
  • said securing mechanism is a screw thread adapted to mate with a complementary screw thread of a complementary receptacle.
  • said screw thread is provided on an internal wall of said cavity.
  • a non-return valve is provided in said conduit, preventing cosmetic substance dispensed through said opening from being suctioned back into the conduit.
  • said resilient deformable member comprises a mushroom-shaped section with a stalk located within the conduit and a head section which is retained against the end of the conduit by the stalk.
  • the head section is in sealing engagement with the end of the conduit when not subject to any pressure imbalance.
  • said mushroom-shaped section is connected to an internal section that is captive within the body of the applicator and which is provided with openings to permit the passage of cosmetic substance therethrough.
  • the applicator further comprises a removable plug sealing the cavity when not in use, the removable plug being provided with a graspable component to assist in its removal.
  • the graspable component also allows the user to grip the applicator more easily, without a cosmetics receptacle in place, and use it as a cooling device on the skin, with the graspable component acting as a handle.
  • the body is generally hemispherical in shape with the face of the hemisphere providingthe skin-contacting surface.
  • a method of applying a cosmetic substance to the skin of a user comprising the steps of: providing an applicator as disclosed above, and a complementary receptacle containing a cosmetic substance to be dispensed via a dispensing outlet of the receptacle; securing the complementary receptacle within the cavity of the applicator with the dispensing outlet of the receptacle in sealing engagement with the formation at the second end of the cavity; applying the skin-contacting surface to contact the skin of a user; dispensing cosmetic substance from the receptacle to the skin of the user via the opening; and moving the skin-contacting surface across the skin to spread the cosmetic substance on the skin.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a cosmetics applicator
  • Fig. 2 is an elevation in cross-section, showing the removable plug in broken lines;
  • Fig. 3 is an elevation in cross-section, showing a complementary receptacle in the in-use position
  • Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail of Fig. 3;
  • Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail, similar to Fig. 4 but showing the cosmetics substance being applied to the user’s skin;
  • Fig. 6 is an enlarged view of a valve forming part of the applicator of Figs. 1 -5.
  • a cosmetics applicator comprising a plastic dome-shaped housing 12 with a metallic base component 14 which together make up the applicator body.
  • a plug 16 having a ring-shaped handle 18 is removably mounted in the body.
  • the plug 16 which is made of rubber or a rubber-like polymer, is snugly fitted within a cavity 22 from which it can be removed by pulling on the handle 18.
  • the plug 16 is sufficiently firmly positioned in the cavity that the handle can be used to grasp the applicator and move it across the skin of a user with the flat skincontacting surface 20 of the metallic base component 14 in contact with the skin. In this way, without any application of cosmetic substances, the applicator can be used for a cooling effect.
  • the metallic base component 14, made of aluminium has sufficient mass and heat capacity to exert a cooling effect on the skin without refrigerating the device.
  • the cavity 22 has a cylindrical collar 24 leading to an opening in the centre of the base of the cavity. This collar provides a formation to sealingly engage with the tip of a cosmetics receptacle as will be described further below.
  • Fig. 3 shows the applicator in use, after removing the plug and inserting a complementary receptacle 26 containing a cosmetics substance to be applied to the skin.
  • the receptacle is complementary due to being sized to fit the cavity, its engagement with a securing mechanism (namely screw threads 28 engaging complementary threads in the cavity’s internal cylindrical wall), and a dispensing tip 30 which mates with the collar 24 so that substance dispensed from the tip 30 is confined to the collar and only able to exit via the opening at the base thereof, from where it passes through a conduit 32 and out of the centre of the skincontacting surface as will be further explained.
  • a securing mechanism namely screw threads 28 engaging complementary threads in the cavity’s internal cylindrical wall
  • Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail of the central portion of the base of the applicator shown in Fig. 3, from which it can be seen that a valve having a mushroom-shaped head 34 and a shaft 36 is mounted in the conduit 32, with the valve head 24 being recessed within a recess 38 formed within the skin-contacting surface of the aluminium base component.
  • valve is shown in isolation, and it can be seen that the innermost portion 46 which is anchored inside the applicator base has a number of holes 48 which allow passage of the cosmetics substance through.
  • the valve is made of a resilient, flexible polymer material so that the head 34 can flex away from the innermost portion 46 and the shaft 36 can also stretch under tension.
  • Fig. 5 shows the same view as Fig.
  • the substance fills the internal space 42 within the collar, the space 44 above the valve, the conduit 32, and the recess 38, with the head of the valve flexing away from the conduit to allow the substance to pass through, from where the substance 40 spreads alongthe skin contacting surface and across the user’s skin 50.
  • the base component exerts a cooling effect on the user’s skin as it is moved over it in contact with it.
  • a base component formed of aluminium, with a diameter of 60mm and a mass of 62g had sufficient heat capacity to continue to exert a readily perceptible cooling effect for at least a minute of continuous contact with facial skin, where the base component started at 20°C and the initial skin temperature started at 33°C prior to application of the applicator.
  • This cooling effect is increased where an evaporative substance is applied to the skin adding a further cooling effect.

Abstract

Un applicateur pour appliquer une substance cosmétique sur la peau d'un utilisateur présente un corps pourvu d'un composant métallique définissant une surface de contact avec la peau généralement plate conçue pour venir en contact avec la peau d'un utilisateur lors de l'application d'une substance cosmétique. Une cavité est définie à l'intérieur du corps ayant une ouverture de chargement à une première extrémité pour recevoir un réceptacle complémentaire contenant la substance cosmétique, et à une seconde extrémité ayant une formation pour une mise en prise étanche avec une sortie de distribution du réceptacle reçu dans la cavité. Un conduit assure la communication entre la formation et une ouverture définie dans la surface de contact avec la peau. Un mécanisme de fixation fixe le réceptacle à l'intérieur de la cavité, la sortie de distribution du réceptacle étant en prise d'étanchéité avec la formation. Lorsqu'un réceptacle complémentaire est fixé à l'intérieur de la cavité et que la surface de contact avec la peau est appliquée sur la peau d'un utilisateur, une substance cosmétique peut être distribuée à partir du réceptacle, passant par le conduit pour ressortir au niveau de l'ouverture, et être étalée entre la surface de contact avec la peau et la peau de l'utilisateur lorsque l'applicateur est déplacé sur la peau de l'utilisateur.
