Problems solved by technology

When applied, different droplets are formed on the crevices, thus making it difficult for the applicator to apply accurately, not suitable for cosmetics
[0003] Other applicators are disclosed in French Patent 1174544 and US Patents 2029835 and 1999642, which are less suitable for applying cosmetics to nails than the applicator described in US Patent 2561255

Embodiment Construction

[0046] figure 1 A device 1 is shown comprising a container 2 with an axis X and an applicator 3 comprising an applicator element 4 connected with a rod 5 to a handle 6 which also serves as a lid for closing the container 2 .

[0047] The container 2 has a threaded neck 7 and its closure 6 has a fitting side edge 8 arranged to be screwed on the neck 7 .

[0048] The top of the rod 5 is connected to the cover 6 by a fitting portion 9 shaped to engage in a friction fit in the fitting side edge 8 and comprising a sealing flange 10 pressed onto the neck 7 in a sealing manner.

[0049] The container 2 contains a liquid P made of, for example, nail polish.

[0050] figure 2 The applicator element 4 is shown on a larger scale.

[0051] The applicator element 4 comprises a tubular wall 12 around the axis X, which wall constitutes a cavity 13 forming a tank, capable of storing the liquid P, and radially penetrated by a hole 14 near the top.

[0052] The applicator element 4 also h...

Abstract

An applicator comprising walls constituting a cavity capable of accumulating liquid, said cavity opening to the outside through an opening for application, said applicator being characterized in that at least in the vicinity of said opening is located inside the cavity A retaining element, the cavity is capable of retaining liquid by capillary action between the wall and the retaining element.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an applicator for applying cosmetics or protective products, in particular to a capillary-type applicator for applying nail polish, but not exclusively for applying nail polish. Background technique [0002] The applicators disclosed in US Pat. No. 2,561,252 each comprise walls forming a cavity forming a tank capable of storing liquid; the cavity is open to the outside through one or more ports for application. In one embodiment, the applicator has a narrow slot-like mouth, which is not suitable for applying liquids to the nail. In another embodiment, the applicator has a plurality of applicator ports, the ports being in the form of parallel slits. When applying, different droplets are formed on the gap, which makes it difficult for the applicator to apply accurately, and is not suitable for cosmetics. [0003] French Patent 1174544 and US Patents 2029835 and 1999642 disclose other applicators which are less suitable ...
