AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Application is imprecise without visual inspection and often leads to sketchy results with errors, overlaps and forgotten areas
[0014] Very sophisticated robots exist that can pick up and position hair grafts, but such very expensive and bulky solutions can only be used for large-scale treatments
Therefore, there is no satisfactory solution for efficiently processing invisible body regions in an autonomous manner

example 1

[0148] will now refer to Figure 13 (a) and Figure 13 (b) describes an example of eyelid makeup by means of the device 1 according to the invention.

[0149] In this example, the positioning system 2 used is Figure 5 positioning system in . To generate the positioning system topographical data of the part of the user's head including the bearing area (ie the temple) and the application area have been acquired by 3D scanning. The distance between the two temples and the distance between the centers of each eye on a horizontal axis between the two eyes has been measured in order to produce the support and connecting members in a custom manner. In this example, the connecting member 5 is a plastic rod bent into a circular arc, and the supporting member has two identical end pieces 4 a and 4 b, which are fixed at both ends of the connecting member 5 by brackets 23 . As mentioned above, the applicator member is formed from foam, which is placed on a plastic support and adapte...

example 2

[0152] exist Figure 14 In the example shown, the device 1 according to the invention is in the form of an eye mask and has a support 4 intended to rest on the nostril, and a second support 8 formed by the arms of the eye mask intended to be positioned on the ear . The application system 3 arranged in the eye area has a reservoir 3c containing a cosmetic composition C, and an applicator member in the form of a foam having a topography inverse to the shape of the user's eyelids. As mentioned above, the connecting member 5 connecting the supports 4 and 8 together and connecting the support to the application system is tailor-made, as is the support itself.

[0153] Thus, the user intuitively positions the device and by pushing up the nose towards the eye, the applicator member easily and precisely reaches and contacts the left eyelid. The user then depresses the reservoir of the application system by squeezing the bottom of the reservoir 3c with their thumb, thereby applying m...

example 3

[0155] exist Figure 15 In the example shown, using Figure 11 Apparatus for treating an area of ​​a user's scalp, in particular for alopecia, by applying an adhesive composition. The connecting member has an arm 10 which connects the applicator system 3 to the support 4 by means of a hinge 18 such that a single rotational movement between the support and the arm 10 is possible. The applicator member is rigid and is created in the 3D shape of the area to be treated.

[0156] The support 4 is positioned on the support area between the two eyes of the user, i.e. at the base of the nose and at the forehead, as Figure 15 (a) shown. The arm 10 is then pivoted rearwardly relative to the support 4 so that the end loaded with the composition comes into contact with the skin of the head, as Figure 15 (b) shown.

Abstract

A device (1) for applying a cosmetic composition (C), in particular a makeup or care composition, to an application area (P) of a user, the device (1) having a positioning system (2) comprising at least one support (4) configured to be positioned on a predetermined support area (Z) of the user's body, and at least one connecting member (5) configured to connect the support (4) to the application area (P) of the user's body. The connecting member (5) is connected to the application system (3) of the composition, the support (4) has a customized shape suitable for the support area, and / or the connecting member (5) has a customized shape and / or size suitable for the morphology of the user, the device is configured to guide the connection member (5), in particular to apply a predetermined trajectory to the connection member (5) when the connection member (5) is moved relative to the support region (Z) from a position in which the support (4) is located on the region, in order to bring the application system (3) into contact with the application region.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for applying a cosmetic composition, in particular a make-up or care composition, having a positioning system connected to the application system of the composition. The invention also relates to a method for positioning and manufacturing such a device and a method of cosmetic treatment using the device, in particular for applying cosmetics. Background technique [0002] Many people apply cosmetics to the face (especially eyelids, eyelashes or eyebrows) to improve their appearance in an attempt to be as attractive and natural as possible. [0003] Visually impaired people may experience difficulties in their professional and social lives. Like everyone else, they need to connect with other people and therefore want to present a good look. Also, for some of them, it is important to be able to present themselves without others seeing their vision problems. As a result, visually impaired people may feel a greater need ...
