[0016] Method for manufacturing beauty products

[0017] Thus, according to one aspect of the present invention, the object of the present invention is a method for manufacturing a beauty product, the beauty product including a fabric that defines a surface for applying, sampling or dispensing a beauty composition, the method including a step involving performing a treatment that causes at least a portion of the fabric to melt, the treatment being a treatment different from a hot roll treatment.

[0018] By means of the present invention, a method for manufacturing a product having a fabric modified by treatment is provided, which method particularly allows for meeting requirements such as decoration, feel, and management of fabric permeability. In particular, the fabric can be marked like a decoration by treatment, especially on the surface, without the need to transfer elements such as ink or film to the fabric. The treatment allows an imprint to be left on the fabric by melting, particularly locally melting a portion of the fabric. This enables the shape to be textured to be pressed onto the fabric and to change its properties, particularly with respect to the permeability of the composition.

[0019] The method according to the present invention allows for precisely positioning one or more areas of the fabric intended to be treated by performing a melting process.

[0020] The term "treatment different from a hot roll treatment" is understood to exclude any type of treatment using a rotating roll or cylinder that causes at least a portion of the fabric to melt, such as a hot calendering process. The advantage of a treatment not using a roll is that it helps to customize the resulting pattern in appropriate cases and allows the fabric to be treated under specific conditions, such as under tension or mounted on a support, which is not achievable with roll treatment. Tightening the fabric during the treatment can help to produce a precise pattern, especially when the fabric has a certain elasticity.

[0021] The term "at least a portion of the fabric is melted" is understood to mean that during the method according to the invention, one or more regions of the fabric are transformed into a liquid state during the treatment applied and before solidifying again. Thus, depending on the shape provided by the treatment, the appearance of the fabric is changed and optionally also all or part of its mechanical properties. Preferably, only a portion of the fabric is affected by the melting process, where the treatment enables only one or more regions of the fabric to be treated. The treatment may or may not result in the production of reliefs. Advantageously, the fabric comprises a network structure of threads, which are in particular, even exclusively, synthetic threads, where the treatment then causes at least a portion of the threads of the network structure to melt, in particular on at least a portion of the surface of the fabric. In the case of a woven fabric, local melting can, where appropriate, result in a weld between at least one weft thread and warp thread.

[0022] The treatment advantageously comprises applying heat by conduction and / or by radiation and / or by ultrasonic energy or radio frequency energy. Pressure can be applied to the fabric, in particular during the treatment, in particular in order to flatten the fabric or a portion thereof, during, before or after the treatment, in particular during the treatment, in particular in order to form reliefs on the fabric.

[0023] The treatment is advantageously carried out by bringing the fabric, in particular at least one surface of the fabric, into contact with a treatment tool. As a variant, the treatment can be carried out with a treatment tool without contact with the fabric.

[0024] In one embodiment, the treatment comprises non-transfer thermal marking, in particular using a heating pad and / or a gilding iron.

[0025] The term "non-transfer thermal marking" is understood to mean bringing the fabric into contact with or bringing the fabric close to a thermal marking tool, such as an electrically heated pad or iron, such as the tool is equipped with a marking device (such as an engraving block or an interchangeable type carrier strip), without using a transfer film. In this case, the treatment tool comprises a marking tool having a marking device.

[0026] The treatment can also comprise applying ultrasonic waves using a sonotrode. In this case, the treatment tool can comprise a sonotrode connected to an ultrasonic generator and an anvil, where during the treatment the sonotrode is advantageously arranged on one side of the fabric and the anvil is arranged on the other side of the fabric.

[0027] Other treatments can be carried out to effect melting of at least a portion of the fabric, in particular laser treatment or conduction treatment.

[0028] The treatment can be implemented by a treatment tool that is substantially perpendicular to the fabric surface and even in contact with or close to the fabric surface perpendicular to the fabric surface. Unlike a roller, this tool does not rotate itself.

[0029] The method can include steps involving applying tension to the fabric along at least one stretching axis before and / or during the treatment. In this case, the applied tension results in an elongation of, for example, at least 10%, preferably at least 20%, and even more preferably at least 30% of the fabric.

[0030] The tension is advantageously applied in the plane defined by the fabric surface. If the tension is released after the treatment, this can allow for a more pronounced aesthetic effect to be obtained on the fabric after the treatment. The tension applied during the treatment can be greater than the tension applied during the use of the article, except for the tension applied by the user, for example when sampling the composition through the fabric.

[0031] Since the fabric has a profile, especially a circular profile, at its periphery, the tension can be applied over the entire periphery of the fabric, especially in a uniform manner.

[0032] The method can include steps involving producing an article having the fabric after the treatment. In particular, the fabric can be cut after the treatment to produce the article.

[0033] As a variant, the method can include steps involving at least partially producing an article having the fabric before the treatment. In particular, the fabric can be cut before the treatment to produce the article.

[0034] For example, the method can include steps involving: before implementing the treatment, fixing the fabric to a support of a beauty article, such as a frame, especially by applying tension to the fabric along at least one stretching axis, preferably applying tension over the entire periphery of the fabric. Fixing the fabric to the frame before the treatment can allow for better control of the position of at least a part of the fabric that has been melted. In particular, it is easier to center one or more patterns obtained by the treatment. When the fabric is fixed to the frame of the beauty article before implementing the treatment, for example by making the shapes complementary between an ultrasonic generator and an anvil around the frame, the treatment tool can be configured to ensure its positioning relative to the frame and thus precisely control the position of at least a part of the fabric that is melted during the treatment. The frame can present various shapes with or without rotational symmetry, such as circular or polygonal. The frame can be circular and form a ring.

[0035] The fabric can be fixed to the frame without tension, and the tension can be applied only during the treatment, especially using the treatment tool.

[0036] The fabric can be fixed to the frame while being processed. The fabric can be fixed to the frame by adhesion, welding, or any other fixing means. The tool for locally melting the fabric to form a pattern thereon can also achieve fixation by locally melting the fabric material on the frame. Thus, the fabric can be fixed and decorated in one operation.

[0037] Beauty products

[0038] According to another aspect of the present invention, in combination with the above description, another object of the present invention is a beauty product, which includes a fabric that defines a surface for applying, sampling, or dispensing a beauty composition, and the product is obtained by the method described above.

[0039] In one embodiment, the surface has been subjected to the treatment.

[0040] As a variant or additionally, the back surface of the surface has been subjected to the treatment.

[0041] The fabric can include threads made of synthetic fibers and / or microfibers, and the synthetic fibers and / or microfibers are selected from the group consisting of: polyamide, elastane, polyester, acrylic, viscose, acetate, cellulose, polyolefin, polyether, and mixtures thereof, preferably polyamide, and the fabric is or is not elastically deformable. The presence of microfibers can obtain a particularly soft feel, which is comfortable for the user.

[0042] The synthetic fibers of the fabric can be locally melted by means of the treatment.

[0043] The fabric can be a woven fabric, a non-woven fabric, or a knitted fabric, preferably a woven fabric or a knitted fabric.

[0044] The fabric can have a reticular structure, and its structure has been changed by the treatment. In particular, the reticular structure can be destroyed after the treatment, for example, by thermal marking or by applying ultrasonic waves. The porosity of the fabric can be reduced to reduce the permeability of the fabric without having to block the fabric in one or more treatment areas.

[0045] The fabric can include at least one pattern generated by the treatment on one or more treated surfaces. The fabric can have at least one convex portion generated by the treatment, especially a convex portion with a depth greater than or equal to 0.5 mm or forming a protrusion of 0.5 mm or more. When present, the convex portion can present various pattern shapes. Optionally, the pattern of the convex portion can be geometric, uniform, or non-uniform.

[0046] The fabric can have at least one opening, and its appearance has been changed by the treatment.

[0047] Before or during said treatment, the fabric can be at least in a tensioned state along at least one stretching axis.

[0048] The properties of the fabric can be changed by treatment. For example, in one or more treated areas of the fabric, especially in the central area, the fabric is locally impermeable or has reduced permeability. The porosity of the fabric can be changed by treatment, as expected, especially a lower porosity. The fabric can remain permeable relative to the cosmetic composition. The porosity within the surface may be non-uniform. The treated area of the fabric can be the central area and does not cover the entire extent of the fabric.

[0049] The article can include a support, especially a frame, which is fixed or movable within the article. The fabric is held above the reservoir of the composition by the support such that the composition can pass through the fabric, especially by pressing the fabric onto the composition. The fabric can then act like a weft yarn.

[0050] In the article, the fabric can be fixed to, especially by adhesion, a bottom porous structure (especially a sponge) optionally impregnated with the cosmetic composition.

[0051] The article can include a case, which includes a body having a housing for receiving the cosmetic composition. The fabric is disposed on the cosmetic composition. The case preferably includes a lid arranged to engage with the body.

[0052] As a variant, the article forms a cosmetic composition applicator. In this case, the article can form a pad or a powder puff. The article can then be washable. As a variant, the applicator is fixed to a gripping member.

[0053] The cosmetic composition can be in the form of a liquid or a powder.

[0054] Irrespective of the embodiment, the fabric is advantageously a single layer. The fabric preferably does not connect directly to the underlying filaments from the back side or the reverse side of the fabric. The back side of the fabric can be free, i.e., not connected to an underlying layer or structure by weaving or knitting. Description of the Drawings

[0069] In the remaining part of the specification, the same elements or elements with the same functions have the same reference numerals. To make this specification concise and to the point, they are not described in detail in each drawing, and only the differences between the embodiments are described.

[0070] Figure 1There is shown a beauty product 1 according to the present invention, which comprises a cartridge 2 having a body 3. The cartridge 2 further comprises a lid 5 which is hinged to the body 3 in this example. The lid can be fixed in different ways, for example screwed onto the body.

[0071] The cartridge 2 further houses an applicator holder 6 which, in this example, is hinged about a rotation axis to the body 3, the rotation axis being perpendicular to the axis of the hinge between the lid 5 and the body 3. The applicator is not shown in this figure. A disk 4 is housed in a housing 8 of the body 3 of the cartridge 2. The disk 4 houses a reservoir for the beauty composition.

[0072] In this example, the reservoir is covered with a fabric 15 which defines a surface 17 for applying, sampling or dispensing the composition, which forms the visible side of the fabric 15 having substantially square edges and rounded corners. In this example, the fabric 15 is made of a network structure formed by knitting polyamide threads. At least a part of the fabric 15, in this example at least a part of the surface 17, has been treated using a treatment other than a hot roller treatment, resulting in melting of at least a part of the fabric 15 at least on the surface. In particular, in this example, the treatment causes melting of at least some parts of the threads of the network structure.

[0073] In the example shown, a part of the surface 17 of the fabric has been treated by non-transfer heat marking, in particular using a hot stamping iron or a heating pad, so as to form a pattern 20 in the form of the letter A in this example by melting. By means of the present invention, the pattern is properly centered on the surface 17. In this case, heat is applied to the fabric 15 by conduction.

[0074] In this example, the fabric 15 is designed to allow sampling of the beauty composition housed in the underlying reservoir. The fabric 15 is permeable to the composition and allows the composition to pass through its constituent meshes. The treatment can change, in particular reduce, the permeability of the fabric 15 in the vicinity of the pattern 20.

[0075] Most of the beauty composition is housed in the reservoir, in particular all of it, for example in liquid form.

[0076] If the treatment comprises applying heat by radiation and / or by ultrasonic energy or radio frequency energy, it does not depart from the scope of the present invention if a treatment different from the hot roller treatment, including a treatment using an ultrasonic generator to apply ultrasound, or a laser treatment, or even a treatment by conduction or other suitable treatment is used to carry out the treatment. It also does not depart from the scope of the present invention if the back surface of the surface 17 is treated, instead of or in addition to the surface 17.

[0077] Figure 2The surface 17 of the fabric 15, which is shown separately and is mounted and fixed on the circular frame 21, is treated to form a central pattern 20 by local melting of the fabric. In this example, the circular frame is in the form of a ring generated by applying heat using an ultrasonic generator with ultrasonic energy.

[0078] In Figure 3 the example, the surface 17 of the fabric 15 has been treated by applying ultrasonic waves to form a geometric pattern 20 in the form of concentric circles like a target around the center point O of the surface. Each circle of the pattern 20 forms at least a locally melted area of the fabric 15 on the surface so as to form the pattern 20 and optionally change the properties of the surface, such as reducing the permeability of the fabric 15 in these areas.

[0079] Using a treatment implemented differently from a roller, it is easier to have the pattern 20 centered within the article 1, as Figure 3 shown in the case of.

[0080] Figure 4 shows the fabric 15 extending perpendicular to the axis X. In this example, before being treated by the method according to the invention, the fabric 15 is fixed to its periphery 16 on the frame 21 by adhesion. The figure also shows the back side 18 of the fabric 15, which extends from the opposite back side of the surface 17. In this example, the fabric 15 is stretched on the frame 21 along at least one stretching axis with an elongation rate of at least 10%, in this example being stretched on the entire periphery of the fabric 15, such as a circular periphery.

[0081] Figure 5 shows the heat marking tool O close to the surface 17 to implement the treatment. The tool is perpendicular to the surface 17 in the arrow direction parallel to the axis X. The tool O includes a surface with an element R as a convex part, especially for generating a pattern on the surface 17 of the fabric 15.

[0082] In Figure 5 the example, the fabric 15 is mounted on the frame 21 of the beauty article, which is the first step in producing the article, and then it is assembled in a box body similar to, for example, Figure 1 . Thus, the production of the article 1 starts before implementing the treatment.

[0083] The fabric 15 can be treated before producing the article 1. For example, as Figure 6 shown, the sheet 12 of the fabric 15 is treated as in Figure 5 the example before cutting the fabric 15. The fabric 15 can be a coil before being marked.

[0084] Figure 7The treatment carried out on the fabric 15 can result in the formation of reliefs 25 on the fabric 15, in this example as hollows on one side of the surface 17, in particular formed by applying pressure on the fabric during, before or after the treatment.

[0085] Figure 8 An example of a pad for a hot marking tool O with an A-shaped pattern is shown, allowing an A-shaped pattern 20 to be obtained on the surface 17 of the fabric 15. The diameter and shape of the surface S of the pad that will be in contact with the fabric 15 during the treatment can be similar to those of the fabric on the finished beauty product 1. Without departing from the scope of the present invention, the treatment can be carried out without any contact with the fabric, for example using a laser.

[0086] Figure 9 and Figure 10 The treatment of the fabric 15 mounted on the frame 21 using an ultrasonic generator D is shown. In Figure 9 , the treatment tool includes an ultrasonic generator D connected to an ultrasonic generator (not shown in this figure for the sake of simplicity of the drawing), which extends from the back side 18 and abuts against the end of the frame 21 opposite the end of the frame 21 fixed to the fabric 15, so as to maintain a non-zero distance from the back side 18 of the fabric 15. The tool also includes an anvil E, which is relatively arranged on one side of the surface 17 of the fabric 15 and in contact with it. The anvil E includes a peripheral boundary at the upper part, which is in contact with the ultrasonic generator D and completely surrounds it, corresponding to the complementary shape between the anvil E and the ultrasonic generator D around the frame 21 supporting the fabric 15. Thus, the ultrasonic generator D is positioned centering on the frame 21, which allows precise control of the position of one or more areas of the fabric 15 to be subsequently treated. In order to melt at least a part of the fabric 15, as Figure 10 shown, the anvil E is brought closer to tighten the fabric 15 until the back side 18 comes into contact with the ultrasonic generator D and heat is applied by ultrasonic energy, where applying ultrasonic waves causes at least a part of the fabric to melt according to the desired pattern.

[0087] In Figure 1 , the fabric 15 comes into contact with the beauty composition at least after the first use.

[0088] In Figure 11 's example, the fabric 15 is fixed by adhesion to a bottom structure 35, which in this example is made of a sponge or honeycomb-like porous material block containing the beauty composition C at least during use. In this example, the surface 17 of the fabric is devoid of reliefs, and the treatment causes at least a part of the fabric 15 without reliefs to melt.

[0089] The present invention is not limited to the beauty product 1 in contact with the composition in the reservoir.

[0090] In particular, Figure 12 and Figure 13 the alternative embodiment shown shows a beauty product 1 having a fabric 15 covering, for example, a sponge (not shown), for forming an applicator for a beauty composition not impregnated with the composition. Such an applicator is used to sample the composition on a surface or product block containing the composition and to apply the composition when held in the hand, or alternatively, it is used to mix or remove the composition for different applications.

[0091] Figure 12 The applicator is completely flexible. Figure 13 The applicator includes an end piece 28 which is covered with the fabric 15 and fixed to a rigid or semi-rigid gripping part 29 (forming a rod in this example).

[0092] The fabric 15 may or may not include openings which are independent of the openings of the fabric mesh structure and have a larger size.
