Description

DOMAINE DE L'INVENTIONFIELD OF THE INVENTION

L'invention concerne le domaine du maquillage, plus particulièrement celui des yeux, par adjonction aux cils naturels de cils artificiels, plus couramment appelés « faux-cils ».The invention relates to the field of makeup, more particularly that of the eyes, by adding natural eyelashes to artificial eyelashes, more commonly called "false eyelashes".

L'invention concerne un dispositif de distribution de cils artificiels.The invention relates to a device for dispensing artificial eyelashes.

ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUESTATE OF THE ART

L'emploi de cils artificiels a généralement pour but d'augmenter le volume, la longueur, ou l'éclat de cils naturels, ou d'apporter au visage un élément esthétique et décoratif au même titre qu'un bijou, par exemple.The use of artificial eyelashes is generally intended to increase the volume, the length, or the brightness of natural eyelashes, or to bring to the face an aesthetic and decorative element in the same way as a jewel, for example.

Les cils artificiels sont généralement commercialisés sous forme d'unités, chaque unité comprenant une frange de cils et une bande de liaison maintenant les cils entre eux au niveau de leur base, l'autre extrémité des cils étant libre. Ces unités peuvent être vendues par paires, dans des boitiers classiques qui n'ont que très peu évolué depuis leurs premières apparitions et se trouvent ainsi oubliés des importants efforts d'innovation dévolus au domaine du maquillage.The artificial eyelashes are generally marketed in the form of units, each unit comprising an eyelash fringe and a binding strip holding the eyelashes together at their base, the other end of the eyelashes being free. These units can be sold in pairs, in classic cases that have evolved very little since their first appearances and are thus forgotten the important innovation efforts devolved to the field of makeup.

Ces boitiers ne présentent pas d'aspect esthétique ou ludique particulier pour le consommateur, qui puisse l'attirer vers un produit plutôt qu'un autre. En effet, les sociétés commercialisant ces boitiers ne peuvent se distinguer des autres produits que par des variations de couleurs, mais ne peuvent pas conférer à des boitiers de cils artificiels des caractères originaux dans le design ou dans le fonctionnement qui soient véritablement identitaires de la marque des cils.These boxes do not have a particular aesthetic or playful aspect for the consumer, which can attract one product rather than another. Indeed, the companies marketing these boxes can be distinguished from other products by color variations, but can not confer on artificial eyelash cases original characters in the design or operation that are truly brand identity Eyelash.

En outre, ces boitiers sont peu pratiques puisqu'ils ne fournissent qu'un stock limité d'unités de cils artificiels, typiquement une seule paire, ce qui tend à augmenter le volume occupé par un tel boitier, ainsi que le prix de la paire d'unités de cils vendue. Ces deux facteurs tendent à limiter l'achat de quantités importantes de cils artificiels.In addition, these boxes are impractical since they only provide a limited stock of artificial eyelash units, typically a single pair, which tends to increase the volume occupied by such a case, as well as the price of the pair of eyelash units sold. These two factors tend to limit the purchase of significant quantities of artificial eyelashes.

Par ailleurs, la pose des unités de cils sur les paupières est une opération délicate. En effet, l'utilisateur doit d'abord encoller la bande de liaison. Il doit ensuite appliquer la bande de liaison encollée le long du bord de la paupière où sont implantés les cils naturels. Ces étapes nécessitent de prélever les unités en saisissant les cils par leurs extrémités libres, ce qui risque de les endommager.Moreover, the installation of eyelash units on the eyelids is a delicate operation. Indeed, the user must first glue the bonding strip. He must then apply the tape bonded along the edge of the eyelid where are implanted natural eyelashes. These steps require taking the units by grasping the eyelashes by their free ends, which may damage them.

Le document US 2012/0000957 A1 décrit un dispositif de distribution de cils artificiels.The document US 2012/0000957 A1 discloses a device for dispensing artificial eyelashes.

Il existe donc un besoin de renouveler l'offre commerciale de boitiers contenant les cils artificiels, en proposant une solution innovante qui permette à la fois de réduire le volume nécessaire pour le stockage d'une paire d'unités de cils artificiels, et de diminuer le prix unitaire d'une paire d'unités de cils.There is therefore a need to renew the commercial offer of boxes containing artificial eyelashes, by proposing an innovative solution which makes it possible both to reduce the volume necessary for the storage of a pair of artificial eyelash units, and to reduce the unit price of a pair of eyelash units.

Il existe en outre un besoin de proposer des boitiers de cils artificiels permettant une manipulation simple et rapide d'unités de cils artificielsThere is also a need to provide artificial eyelash cases for quick and easy manipulation of artificial eyelash units.

DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE D'AU MOINS UN MODE DE REALISATIONDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF AT LEAST ONE EMBODIMENT

On a représenté en figure 1 un exemple de dispositif de distribution de cils artificiels selon l'invention.We have shown in figure 1 an example of artificial eyelash dispensing device according to the invention.

Ce dispositif 1 comprend un boitier 10, de préférence en matière plastique telle que du polypropylène (PP), polyéthylène (PE), acrylonitrile butadiène styrène (ABS), styrène acrylonitrile (SAN), ou polyéthylène téréphtalate (PET), polyéthylène téréphtalate glycolisé (PETG), en résine Surlyn®, polyoxyméthylène (POM). Le boitier peut également être réalisé en métal, comme l'aluminium, le Zamak, etc.This device 1 comprises a housing 10, preferably made of plastic such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), styrene acrylonitrile (SAN), or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene terephthalate glycolized ( PETG), in Surlyn® resin, polyoxymethylene (POM). The case can also be made of metal, such as aluminum, Zamak, etc.

Ce boitier 10 peut être transparent, pour laisser apparaitre les éléments qu'il contient, ou au contraire opaque.This box 10 may be transparent, to reveal the elements it contains, or opaque otherwise.

Le boitier 10 est pourvu d'une ouverture 11 de distribution, par laquelle les cils sortent pour être utilisés par un individu, et d'une ouverture 12 permettant, comme décrit ci-après, l'actionnement d'un mécanisme de distribution agencé à l'intérieur du boitier 10.The housing 10 is provided with a dispensing opening 11, through which the eyelashes exit for use by an individual, and an opening 12 allowing, as described below, the actuation of a dispensing mechanism arranged at inside the case 10.

Le mécanisme de distribution comprend une bande 30 de support de cils artificiels. Sur cette bande 30, sont fixés une pluralité de cils artificiels 41, ces cils étant de préférence regroupés sous forme d'unités 40 de cils.The dispensing mechanism comprises an artificial eyelash support band 30. On this band 30, are fixed a plurality of artificial eyelashes 41, these eyelashes are preferably grouped in the form of eyelash units 40.

La fixation des unités sur la bande 30 est de préférence assurée par un revêtement adhésif de la bande, le revêtement présentant des propriétés adaptées pour autoriser un décollement des unités 40 de distribution, sans dégrader les cils 41.Fixing the units on the strip 30 is preferably provided by an adhesive coating of the strip, the coating having properties adapted to allow detachment of the dispensing units 40, without degrading the eyelashes 41.

En référence à la figure 2a, chaque unité 40 de cils comprend une frange de cils 41 et une bande de liaison 42.Les cils sont liés entre eux en une extrémité, de préférence leur base, par la bande de liaison 42, l'autre extrémité étant libre.With reference to the figure 2a each eyelash unit 40 comprises an eyelash fringe 41 and a connecting strip 42. The eyelashes are interconnected at one end, preferably their base, by the connecting strip 42, the other end being free.

Les cils artificiels 41 et la bande de liaison 42 sont réalisés en fibres synthétiques, typiquement en poly téréphtalate de butylène (PBT), et sont solidarisés à la bande de liaison 42 par toute méthode connue, par exemple ils peuvent être collés ou venus de matière avec la bande de liaison. Ils peuvent également être cousus à la bande de liaison ou soudés à celle-ci.The artificial eyelashes 41 and the connecting strip 42 are made of synthetic fibers, typically polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and are secured to the connecting strip 42 by any known method, for example they can be glued or come from material with the connecting band. They can also be sewn to the bonding strip or welded to it.

Avantageusement, comme illustré en figure 2b, la bande 30 présente une pluralité de zones adhésives 35 disjointes, lesdites zones étant par exemple couvertes d'un revêtement adhésif, le reste de la bande n'étant pas adhésif.Advantageously, as illustrated in figure 2b the strip 30 has a plurality of disjoint adhesive areas 35, said areas being for example covered with an adhesive coating, the remainder of the strip being non-adhesive.

Les unités 40 de distribution sont collées sur lesdites zones 35, comme visible en figure 2c, au niveau du milieu des cils dans le sens de leur longueur, afin de ne coller ni les extrémités des cils ni la bande de liaison. Par exemple, si les cils présentent une longueur de 10 mm, les unités de cils peuvent être encollées sur une bande de 5 mm centrée sur la moitié de la longueur des cils.The dispensing units 40 are stuck on said zones 35, as visible in Figure 2c at the level of the middle of the eyelashes in the direction of their length, so as not to stick the ends of the eyelashes or the connecting strip. For example, if the eyelashes have a length of 10 mm, the eyelash units can be glued on a 5 mm strip centered on half the length of the eyelashes.

Ceci présente plusieurs avantages : les extrémités des cils sont maintenues séparées les uns des autres pour ne pas altérer l'aspect des cils une fois en place sur un utilisateur. En outre, le résidu de colle sur les unités de cils est réduit par rapport à un encollage complet des cils, et notamment, chaque extrémité libre de cil n'est pas collée au cil adjacent. L'esthétique des unités de cils est donc conservée.This has several advantages: the ends of the eyelashes are kept separate from one another so as not to alter the appearance of the eyelashes once in place on a user. In addition, the glue residue on the eyelash units is reduced by compared to a complete gluing of the eyelashes, and in particular, each free end of eyelash is not glued to the adjacent eyelash. The aesthetics of the eyelash units are therefore preserved.

Enfin, comme visible en figure 2d, les cils étant maintenus par le milieu de leur longueur sur la bande, leurs extrémités sont moins protubérantes que ne le serait une extrémité si les cils étaient fixés sur la bande par l'autre extrémité.Finally, as visible in figure 2d the eyelashes being held by the middle of their length on the band, their extremities are less protruding than one would be if the eyelashes were fixed on the band by the other end.

Autrement dit, il existe une hauteur H entre l'extrémité des cils d'une unité et la bande 30 qui est réduite par rapport à la même hauteur H' si les unités de cils étaient collées à la bande 30 au niveau de la bande de liaison. Ces hauteurs sont représentées à titre illustratif respectivement sur les figures 2d et 5a.In other words, there is a height H between the end of the eyelashes of a unit and the band 30 which is reduced with respect to the same height H 'if the eyelash units were glued to the band 30 at the level of the band of link. These heights are represented for illustrative purposes respectively on Figures 2d and 5a .

De ce fait, les extrémités des cils ne sont pas en contact avec une paroi du boitier 10 lorsque les cils sont déplacés dans le distributeur, et ceux-ci peuvent donc être déplacés librement dans le distributeur.As a result, the ends of the eyelashes are not in contact with a wall of the housing 10 when the eyelashes are moved in the dispenser, and these can therefore be moved freely in the dispenser.

Les unités 40 de cils sont de préférence fixées sur la bande de support 30 de sorte que les cils soient orientés parallèlement à la direction longitudinale de la bande de support 30, la bande de liaison 42 étant alors transversale à cette direction.The eyelash units 40 are preferably fixed on the support band 30 so that the eyelashes are oriented parallel to the longitudinal direction of the support band 30, the connecting strip 42 then being transverse to this direction.

En outre, les unités 40 de cils sont de préférence régulièrement réparties sur la bande de support 30, de sorte qu'elles soient espacées d'un intervalle constant entre deux unités consécutives. Typiquement, cet intervalle peut être compris entre 5 et 20 mm.In addition, the eyelash units 40 are preferably uniformly distributed over the support band 30, so that they are spaced a constant interval between two consecutive units. Typically, this interval may be between 5 and 20 mm.

En référence à la figure 3, les cils 41 présentent une longueur L comprise entre 8 et 15 mm, de préférence égale à 10 mm.With reference to the figure 3 the eyelashes 41 have a length L of between 8 and 15 mm, preferably equal to 10 mm.

Les unités 40 de cils, quant à elles, présentent une largeur l comprise entre 4 et 8 mm de large, de préférence comprise entre 4 et 5 mm de large. Cette largeur est plus étroite que les unités de cils traditionnellement vendues dans le commerce. Comme visible dans la figure 3, où l'on a simulé une paupière d'un individu sur laquelle on a placé des unités 40 de cils, il est nécessaire d'appliquer une pluralité d'unités 40 de cils sur la paupière pour couvrir la largeur totale de la paupière de l'utilisateur.The eyelash units 40, in turn, have a width l between 4 and 8 mm wide, preferably between 4 and 5 mm wide. This width is narrower than traditionally sold eyelash units. As visible in the figure 3 , where an eyelid of an individual on which eyelash units 40 have been simulated, it is necessary to apply a plurality of eyelash units 40 on the eyelid to cover the entire width of the eyelid. the user.

La diminution de la largeur l des unités 40 de cils permet de diminuer la largeur de la bande 30 de support sur laquelle sont fixées les unités, et par conséquent le volume occupé par le dispositif de distribution 1.The decrease in the width l of the eyelash units 40 makes it possible to reduce the width of the support strip on which the units are fixed, and consequently the volume occupied by the dispensing device 1.

De retour à la figure 1, le mécanisme de distribution comprend un mécanisme de déplacement de la bande de support 30 pour acheminer les unités 40 de cils vers l'ouverture 11 de distribution.Back to the figure 1 , the dispensing mechanism comprises a mechanism for moving the support band 30 to convey the eyelash units 40 to the dispensing opening 11.

Le mécanisme de déplacement comprend un dévidoir 20, monté rotatif par rapport au boitier 10. Une première extrémité longitudinale de la bande de support 30 est fixée au dévidoir, et une partie 31 de la bande, sur laquelle sont fixées les unités de cils artificiels à distribuer, est enroulée autour du dévidoir 20. Le dévidoir 20 est donc positionné en amont de l'ouverture de distribution 11, et peut même constituer l'origine du trajet de la bande.The displacement mechanism comprises a reel 20, rotatably mounted relative to the housing 10. A first longitudinal end of the support strip 30 is fixed to the reel, and a portion 31 of the strip, on which are fixed the artificial eyelash units to distribute, is wound around the reel 20. The reel 20 is positioned upstream of the dispensing opening 11, and may even be the origin of the path of the strip.

La partie 31 de bande enroulée autour du dévidoir constitue une réserve d'unités de cils 40. Plus particulièrement, le dimensionnement du dispositif 1 peut permettre d'enrouler plusieurs mètres de bande de support 30, par exemple entre 0.5 et 2 mètres de bandes, ce qui permet de stocker entre 60 et 180 unités de cils artificiels. Ceci permet à un utilisateur de disposer d'environ 10 à 30 jours de cils artificiels.The portion 31 of tape wrapped around the reel constitutes a reserve of eyelash units 40. More particularly, the dimensioning of the device 1 can make it possible to wind several meters of support band 30, for example between 0.5 and 2 meters of strips, which makes it possible to store between 60 and 180 units of artificial eyelashes. This allows a user to have about 10 to 30 days of artificial eyelashes.

La longueur de bande à enrouler autour du dévidoir, ainsi que le diamètre de la section circulaire de celui-ci, doivent être adaptés pour que l'enroulement de la bande autour du dévidoir n'altère pas le rayon de courbure des cils, une fois distribués, de façon trop importante.The length of strip to be wrapped around the reel, as well as the diameter of the circular section thereof, must be adapted so that the winding of the band around the reel does not alter the radius of curvature of the eyelashes once distributed, too importantly.

Par exemple, si le diamètre de la section circulaire du dévidoir est trop faible, les cils se trouvant sur la partie de bande la plus proche de la surface externe du dévidoir présenteront un rayon de courbure trop important.For example, if the diameter of the circular section of the reel is too small, the eyelashes on the strip portion closest to the outer surface of the reel will have too large a radius of curvature.

Ainsi, le diamètre de la section circulaire du dévidoir est compris entre 5 et 12 mm.Thus, the diameter of the circular section of the reel is between 5 and 12 mm.

Par ailleurs, l'enroulement de la bande forme un cylindre autour du dévidoir, dont le diamètre augmente progressivement avec la longueur de bande enroulée. Si la longueur de bande enroulée est trop importante, le diamètre du cylindre ainsi formé sera important et le rayon de courbure des cils fixés sur la bande en périphérie de l'enroulement sera trop faible.Moreover, the winding of the strip forms a cylinder around the reel, the diameter of which increases progressively with the length of wound tape. If the rolled strip length is too large, the diameter of the cylinder thus formed will be large and the radius of curvature of the eyelashes fixed on the band at the periphery of the winding will be too small.

La longueur d'enroulement de bande indiquée ci-avant tient compte de cet effet. Le diamètre de la section transversale du cylindre formé par la bande enroulée autour du dévidoir peut présenter un diamètre de 30 mm au maximum. Le dispositif de distribution 1 permet donc de stocker un nombre considérable d'unités de cils artificiels, contrairement aux boitiers classiques, et ce avec une grande compacité, grâce l'enroulement de la bande autour du dévidoir.The tape winding length shown above takes this effect into account. The diameter of the cross section of the roll formed by the tape wound around the reel may have a diameter of up to 30 mm. The dispensing device 1 thus makes it possible to store a considerable number of eyelash units artificial, unlike conventional boxes, and this with great compactness, thanks to the winding of the band around the reel.

Le dévidoir 20 prend la forme d'un cylindre de section transversale circulaire, le cylindre étant mobile en rotation autour de son axe de révolution, et de longueur supérieure ou égale à la largeur de la bande de support 30. Ceci permet que la bande de support 30 prenne bien appui sur la surface externe du cylindre 20.The reel 20 takes the form of a cylinder of circular cross section, the cylinder being rotatable about its axis of revolution, and of length greater than or equal to the width of the support strip 30. This allows the strip of support 30 take good support on the outer surface of the cylinder 20.

Le dévidoir peut être constitué du même matériau que le boitier 10.The reel may be made of the same material as the housing 10.

Le système de déplacement de la bande de support 30 comprend en outre une bobine 21, montée rotative par rapport au boitier 10. La bobine 21 se trouve en aval par rapport à l'ouverture de distribution 11 sur le trajet de la bande.The displacement system of the support strip 30 further comprises a coil 21, rotatably mounted relative to the housing 10. The coil 21 is downstream relative to the dispensing opening 11 in the path of the strip.

La deuxième extrémité longitudinale de la bande de support 30 non fixée au dévidoir est fixée à la bobine 21, et une partie 33 de la bande, de laquelle les unités de cils ont été prélevées, est enroulée autour de la bobine.The second longitudinal end of the support strip 30 not attached to the reel is attached to the reel 21, and a portion 33 of the web, from which the eyelash units have been removed, is wrapped around the reel.

De façon analogue au dévidoir 20, la bobine 21 prend la forme d'un cylindre de section transversale circulaire, le cylindre étant mobile en rotation autour de son axe de révolution, et de longueur supérieure ou égale à la largeur de la bande de support 30. Ceci permet que la bande de support 30 prenne bien appui sur la surface externe de la bobine 21.In a similar manner to the reel 20, the reel 21 takes the form of a cylinder of circular cross section, the cylinder being rotatable about its axis of revolution, and of length greater than or equal to the width of the support strip 30 This allows the support strip 30 to bear firmly on the outer surface of the coil 21.

La bobine 21 peut être constituée du même matériau que le boitier 10.The coil 21 may be made of the same material as the housing 10.

Une partie intermédiaire 32 de la bande de support 30, située entre la partie 31 enroulée autour du dévidoir 20, et la partie 33 enroulée autour de la bobine 21, passe à proximité de l'ouverture de distribution 11.An intermediate portion 32 of the support strip 30, located between the portion 31 wound around the reel 20, and the portion 33 wound around the reel 21, passes close to the dispensing opening 11.

Cette partie 32 prend appui sur un élément de renvoi 24, sous forme d'un pion de section circulaire ou d'une poulie montée rotative par rapport au boitier. Cet élément de renvoi 24 est disposé à proximité de l'ouverture de distribution 11, c'est-à-dire à une distance de l'ouverture de distribution inférieure à la longueur d'un cil.This portion 32 is supported on a deflection element 24, in the form of a pin of circular section or a pulley rotatably mounted relative to the housing. This deflection element 24 is disposed near the dispensing opening 11, that is to say at a distance from the dispensing opening less than the length of an eyelash.

La bande de support 30 est tendue par l'élément de renvoi, et le contourne en changeant de direction, dans son trajet entre le dévidoir 20 et la bobine 21.The support strip 30 is stretched by the deflection element and bypasses it by changing direction in its path between the reel 20 and the reel 21.

La position de l'élément de renvoi 24 et son diamètre sont adaptés pour que, lors du contournement de l'élément 24 par la bande de support 30, l'unité 40 de cils se décolle partiellement de la bande 30 de support et sorte du dispositif 1 par l'ouverture de distribution.The position of the deflector 24 and its diameter are adapted so that, when the element 24 is bypassed by the support band 30, the unit 40 of eyelashes partially separates from the support strip 30 and out of the device 1 through the dispensing opening.

Par exemple, une direction D1 de la bande de support en amont de l'élément de renvoi et une direction D2 de la bande de support en aval de l'élément de renvoi forment un angle α compris entre 1 et 90°, de préférence entre 10 et 50°.For example, a direction D1 of the support strip upstream of the deflection element and a direction D2 of the support strip downstream of the deflection element form an angle α of between 1 and 90 °, preferably between 10 and 50 °.

Le rayon de l'élément de renvoi 24 est choisi de sorte que sa surface externe présente un rayon de courbure compris entre 0.5 et 40 mm, afin que lorsque la bande contourne l'élément de renvoi en prenant appui sur cette surface externe, elle adopte le même rayon de courbure.The radius of the deflection element 24 is chosen so that its external surface has a radius of curvature of between 0.5 and 40 mm, so that when the band bypasses the deflection element by bearing on this external surface, it adopts the same radius of curvature.

En outre, les unités 40 de cils sont disposées sur la bande de sorte que la courbure naturelle des cils soit opposée à la courbure adoptée par la bande de support 30 lorsque celle-ci contourne l'élément de renvoi 24.In addition, the eyelash units 40 are arranged on the strip so that the natural curvature of the eyelashes is opposite to the curvature adopted by the support strip 30 when the latter circumvents the deflection element 24.

Ainsi, comme visible en figures 4 et 5a, lorsque la bande parvient à l'élément de renvoi et change de direction en pivotant autour de celui-ci, l'extrémité de l'unité 40 située en aval se décolle de la bande 30, et sort par l'ouverture de distribution 11.So, as visible in figures 4 and 5a when the strip reaches the return member and changes direction by pivoting thereabout, the end of the downstream unit 40 comes off the strip 30, and exits through the dispensing opening 11 .

Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 5a, l'élément de renvoi 24 n'est pas un pion ou une poulie, mais un élément fixe comprenant deux surfaces 241, 242, orientées selon les directions D1 et D2 décrites précédemment, et formant entre elles à cet effet un angle α. Dans ce cas la première surface constitue un support à la bande 30 avant qu'elle ne contourne l'élément de renvoi.In the embodiment of the figure 5a , the deflection element 24 is not a pin or a pulley, but a fixed element comprising two surfaces 241, 242, oriented along the directions D1 and D2 described above, and forming an angle α between them for this purpose. In this case, the first surface forms a support for the strip 30 before it bypasses the return element.

Les unités 40 de distribution sont de préférences agencées sur la bande de support de sorte que, lors du déplacement de la bande de support vers l'ouverture de distribution, les bandes de liaison 42 des cils 41 sont acheminées en premier vers l'ouverture de distribution.The dispensing units 40 are preferably arranged on the support band so that, when moving the support band towards the dispensing opening, the binding strips 42 of the eyelashes 41 are conveyed first to the opening of the support band. distribution.

De la sorte, c'est la bande de liaison 42 qui est décollée de la bande 30 de support et qui sort du dispositif par l'ouverture de distribution 11. En revanche, l'extrémité libre des cils reste collée à la bande.In this way, it is the connecting strip 42 which is detached from the support band 30 and which leaves the device through the dispensing opening 11. On the other hand, the free end of the eyelashes remains stuck to the band.

Quand la bande est dans cette position, l'utilisateur peut, avant de retirer manuellement l'unité du dispositif 1, encoller la bande de liaison 42. Au cours de cette étape d'encollage, l'unité 40 est donc maintenue à la bande 30 de support par l'extrémité libre des cils, et l'utilisateur n'a pas à tenir les cils en main. Il en résulte un risque diminué de dégrader les cils artificiels au moment de l'encollage.When the strip is in this position, the user can, before manually removing the unit from the device 1, glue the connecting strip 42. During this gluing step, the unit 40 is therefore maintained at the strip 30 of support by the free end of the eyelashes, and the user does not have to hold eyelashes in hand. This results in a decreased risk of degrading the artificial eyelashes at the time of sizing.

Par ailleurs, afin de faciliter la manipulation de l'unité 40 de cils aux fins de son encollage et de sa pose, les bords 111, 112 de l'ouverture de distribution 11 aménagée dans le boitier 10 présentent de préférence une forme de pince, comme représenté en figures 4, 5a et 5c.Moreover, in order to facilitate the handling of the eyelash unit 40 for the purposes of its gluing and its laying, the edges 111, 112 of the dispensing opening 11 arranged in the housing 10 preferably have a form of clamp, as represented in figures 4 , 5a and 5c .

Les bords 111, 112 de l'ouverture de distribution 11 peuvent ainsi comprendre deux protubérances orientées l'une vers l'autre, et disposées en regard l'une de l'autre, de part et d'autre de l'ouverture 10 par laquelle sortent les unités de faux cils.The edges 111, 112 of the dispensing aperture 11 can thus comprise two protuberances oriented toward each other, and disposed facing each other, on either side of the opening 10 by which leave the units of false eyelashes.

De préférence, les parois 101, 102 du boitier 10 disposées dans le prolongement desdits bords sont flexibles de manière à pouvoir être déformable, de sorte que l'utilisateur puisse, par une pression, déformer ces parois pour rapprocher les deux protubérances de la pince.Preferably, the walls 101, 102 of the housing 10 disposed in the extension of said edges are flexible so as to be deformable, so that the user can, by pressure, deform these walls to bring the two protuberances of the clamp.

Un mode de réalisation préféré de ces parois flexibles 101, 102 est représenté en figures 5a et 5b. On appelle zone supérieure 103 et zone inférieure 104 les zones du boitier respectivement situées de part et d'autre de la partie intermédiaire 32 de la bande 30, dans le prolongement des bords 111, 112 de l'ouverture 11. Ces zones s'étendent selon des surfaces s'étendant parallèlement aux axes de rotation de la bobine et du dévidoir.A preferred embodiment of these flexible walls 101, 102 is shown in FIG. Figures 5a and 5b . Upper zone 103 and lower zone 104 are called the zones of the housing located respectively on either side of the intermediate portion 32 of the strip 30, in the extension of the edges 111, 112 of the opening 11. These zones extend along surfaces extending parallel to the axes of rotation of the reel and the reel.

Dans chacune de ces zones, sont aménagées, des fentes F, qui permettent de détacher partiellement les parois flexibles 101, 102 du reste de ces zones, en ne les maintenant solidaires de celles-ci que par une extrémité. Les fentes F sont avantageusement sensiblement parallèles entre elles de façon à conférer aux parois flexibles une forme de languette.In each of these zones, are provided, slots F, which allow to partially detach the flexible walls 101, 102 from the rest of these areas, maintaining them secured to them only by one end. The slots F are preferably substantially parallel to each other so as to give the flexible walls a tongue shape.

Les parois flexibles 101, 102, prolongées par les bords 111, 112 sont déformables élastiquement et un utilisateur peut, en exerçant une pression sur elles, rapprocher les bords pour pincer une unité de cils et la maintenir en position pour l'étape d'encollage ou de pose sur une paupière.The flexible walls 101, 102, extended by the edges 111, 112 are elastically deformable and a user can, by pressing them, bring the edges together to pinch a unit of eyelashes and hold it in position for the gluing step or laying on an eyelid.

De préférence, les parois flexibles peuvent également être conformées, comme visible sur la figure 5a, de manière à saillir du boitier 10. Ainsi, un utilisateur peut plus facilement appuyer sur les parois 101, 102 et les presser l'une vers l'autre pour rapprocher les bords 111, 112 de l'ouverture sans que les zones fixes 103, 104 du boitier ne s'opposent à ce déplacement.Preferably, the flexible walls can also be shaped, as visible on the figure 5a , so as to protrude from the housing 10. Thus, a user can more easily press the walls 101, 102 and press them towards each other to bring the edges 111, 112 closer to the opening without the fixed zones 103 , 104 of the box do not oppose this movement.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté en figure 5a, les parois flexibles 101, 102 sont disposées à une distance comprise entre 30 et 50 mm, avantageusement 40 mm de l'ouverture de distribution 11.In the embodiment shown in figure 5a , the flexible walls 101, 102 are arranged at a distance of between 30 and 50 mm, advantageously 40 mm from the dispensing opening 11.

Pour assurer la flexibilité des parois, celles-ci peuvent aussi être réalisées dans le même matériau que le reste du boitier, qui est relativement plus rigide, mais présenter une épaisseur moins importante pour conférer cette flexibilité.To ensure the flexibility of the walls, they can also be made of the same material as the rest of the case, which is relatively stiffer, but have a smaller thickness to provide this flexibility.

Alternativement elles peuvent être réalisées en un matériau relativement plus souple que le reste du boitier.Alternatively they may be made of a relatively more flexible material than the rest of the case.

En outre, la position du dévidoir 20 par rapport à l'ouverture de distribution 11 peut de façon non limitative être définie de sorte que la longueur de bande de support 30 entre le dévidoir 20 et l'ouverture de distribution 11 comporte suffisamment d'unités de cils 40 pour couvrir un oeil ou les deux yeux, et ce, afin que les unités de cils 40 posées sur un même oeil, ou les deux, présentent une courbure identique.In addition, the position of the reel 20 with respect to the dispensing aperture 11 may be non-limitatively defined such that the length of the support strip 30 between the reel 20 and the dispensing aperture 11 has sufficient units. eyelashes 40 to cover one eye or both eyes, so that the units of eyelashes 40 placed on the same eye, or both, have an identical curvature.

A titre d'exemple non limitatif, on considère les paramètres suivants :

  • sur la bande de support 30, il existe un espacement de 5 mm entre deux unités de cils 40 consécutives,
  • les unités de cils 40 présentent une largeur l de 5 mm, de sorte qu'il faut trois unités de cils artificiels pour couvrir une paupière,
  • les cils présentent une longueur L égale à 10 mm.
Dans ce cas, pour que la partie de la bande de support 30 tendue entre le dévidoir et l'ouverture de distribution 11, comporte assez d'unités de cils 40 pour les deux yeux, i.e. six unités de cils, la distance entre le dévidoir et l'élément de renvoi doit être supérieure ou égale à 90 mm. Cette distance est réduite à 45 mm pour que cette partie de la bande de support 30 comporte assez d'unités de cils pour un seul oeil.By way of non-limiting example, the following parameters are considered:
  • on the support strip 30 there is a spacing of 5 mm between two consecutive eyelash units 40,
  • the eyelash units 40 have a width l of 5 mm, so that three units of artificial eyelashes are required to cover an eyelid,
  • the eyelashes have a length L equal to 10 mm.
In this case, so that the portion of the support band 30 stretched between the reel and the dispensing opening 11, has enough eyelash units 40 for both eyes, ie six units of eyelashes, the distance between the reel and the deflection element must be greater than or equal to 90 mm. This distance is reduced to 45 mm so that this portion of the support band 30 has enough eyelash units for a single eye.

En fonctionnement, la partie de la bande de support 30 située en aval de l'élément de renvoi 24 ne supporte plus d'unités de cils car celles-ci ont été prélevées par l'ouverture de distribution. Cette partie de bande de support est acheminée jusqu'à la bobine 33.In operation, the portion of the support strip 30 located downstream of the deflection member 24 no longer supports eyelash units because they were removed by the dispensing aperture. This portion of the support strip is conveyed to the reel 33.

Enfin, pour actionner le déplacement de la bande de support 30, le dispositif de distribution 1 comporte en outre un mécanisme d'actionnement 23, comprenant une molette qui peut être manoeuvrée à travers l'ouverture 12.Finally, to actuate the displacement of the support band 30, the dispensing device 1 further comprises an actuating mechanism 23, comprising a wheel which can be operated through the opening 12.

La molette 23 peut comprendre une roue dentée qui dépasse du boîtier 10 par l'ouverture 12. La bobine 21 comprend alors une roue dentée 22 qui engrène avec la roue dentée de la molette 23, lorsqu'un utilisateur tourne la molette.The wheel 23 may comprise a gear which protrudes from the housing 10 through the opening 12. The coil 21 then comprises a gear 22 which meshes with the toothed wheel of the wheel 23, when a user turns the wheel.

L'engrenage provoque la rotation de la bobine 21, et l'enroulement de la bande de support 30 autour de la bobine. Cet enroulement provoque le déplacement de la partie de bande 30 de support s'étendant entre le dévidoir 20 et la bobine 21, et par conséquent l'acheminement des unités de cils 40 vers l'ouverture de distribution, accompagné du phénomène de décollement des cils au niveau de l'ouverture de distribution décrit ci-avant. Ce déplacement provoque le déroulement de la bande de support du dévidoir 20.The gear causes rotation of the spool 21, and winding of the support band 30 around the spool. This winding causes the portion of the support strip 30 extending between the reel 20 and the reel 21 to move, and consequently the lash units 40 to be moved towards the dispensing aperture, accompanied by the phenomenon of detachment of the eyelashes. at the level of the dispensing aperture described above. This movement causes the unwinding of the support strip of the reel 20.

On peut en outre prévoir un mécanisme de blocage de la molette 23 dans un sens de rotation, de sorte que l'utilisateur ne puisse l'entrainer en rotation dans le sens de déroulement de la bobine 21.In addition, it is possible to provide a locking mechanism for the wheel 23 in a direction of rotation, so that the user can not drive it in rotation in the unwinding direction of the coil 21.

Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 5a, la molette 23 est solidaire et concentrique de la bobine 21 (non représentée sur la figure), de sorte que son actionnement en rotation entraîne directement la rotation de la bobine sur elle-même et l'enroulement de la bande sur celle-ci.In the embodiment of the figure 5a , the wheel 23 is integral and concentric with the coil 21 (not shown in the figure), so that its actuation in rotation directly causes the rotation of the coil on itself and the winding of the strip thereon.

Alternativement, le mécanisme d'actionnement comprenant les deux roues dentées en engrenage peut être remplacé par un bouton en saillie 23 de la bobine 21, le bouton 23 étant monté adjacent à une section transversale extrême de la bobine 21. Cette alternative est illustrée schématiquement de profil en figure 6. Le bouton 23 est alors accessible via une ouverture 12 du boitier 10, et muni d'une fente 25 dans lequel un utilisateur peut engager son ongle pour entrainer directement la bobine en rotation.Alternatively, the actuating mechanism comprising the two gear wheels in gear can be replaced by a projecting button 23 of the coil 21, the button 23 being mounted adjacent to an extreme cross section of the coil 21. This alternative is schematically illustrated in FIG. profile in figure 6 . The button 23 is then accessible through an opening 12 of the housing 10, and provided with a slot 25 in which a user can engage his fingernail to directly drive the coil in rotation.

Par ce mécanisme d'actionnement 23, l'utilisateur peut déplacer la bande de façon précise pour obtenir un nombre d'unités 40 de cils déterminé.By this actuating mechanism 23, the user can move the band accurately to obtain a determined number of eyelash units 40.

Le dispositif 1 selon l'invention permet de stocker et de distribuer un grand nombre d'unités de cils, dans un volume limité. En outre, le mécanisme de déplacement de la bande permet une utilisation à la fois ludique et pratique car elle évite de dégrader les cils en les manipulant.
Les unités de cils stockées à l'intérieur du boîtier, entre les spires de la bande enroulée autour du dévidoir, se trouvent protégées, l'intérieur du boîtier n'étant pas accessible par l'utilisateur.The device 1 according to the invention makes it possible to store and distribute a large number of eyelash units, in a limited volume. In addition, the mechanism moving the band allows a use both fun and practical because it avoids degrading eyelashes by manipulating them.
The eyelash units stored inside the housing, between the turns of the band wrapped around the reel, are protected, the inside of the housing is not accessible by the user.

Comme indiqué en figure 7, on peut envisager de vendre un ou plusieurs dispositifs 1 au sein d'un kit 100 complet pour la pose de cils artificiels, le kit comprenant en outre un flacon 51 de colle pour l'encollage de la bande de liaison 42 des unités de cils 40, et un flacon 52 de dissolvant pour dissoudre ladite colle.As indicated in figure 7 , one can consider selling one or more devices 1 in a complete kit 100 for the installation of artificial eyelashes, the kit further comprising a bottle 51 of glue for gluing the connecting strip 42 of the eyelash units 40, and a bottle 52 of solvent for dissolving said glue.
