Description

[0001] DESCRIPTION

[0002] A COSMETIC APPLICATOR HEAD

[0003] Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to an applicator head for applying and dispensing a product, including cosmetic care, or pharmaceutical products, to human skin or keratinous materials, such as hair, eyebrows, face, lips, nails, and / or eyelashes. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to an applicator head that has a thermal member, which provides a thermal effect that creates a cooling sensation upon application.

[0004] Cosmetic applicators such as dip or wand applicators are known in the cosmetic industry. Cosmetic packages frequently incorporate these applicators for administering a specific cosmetic or medicinal product contained in the package reservoir. These applicators typically consist of an exterior tubular shell or housing with a reservoir containing a product and an applicator tip positioned at the distal end of the shell or housing. The applicator heads have the form of a brush, spatula, or other applicator structure that is suited for applying a cosmetic or care product such as viscous cosmetics, mascara, eyeliner, lip gloss, hair colour, wound care, skin care, under-eye cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and like products.

[0005] In many cases, these medicinal and cosmetic goods may contain skincare elements such as aloe vera or lanolin, which have a healing or therapeutic effect on injured skin or retain healthy skin. In addition, cosmetic dispensing packages already exist that include a fluid reservoir associated with a rigid and heat-transfer dispenser head for use on the skin, particularly the skin of the face. Furthermore, these products may also incorporate a thermal member that provides a cooling or hot feeling to the skin while the product is applied using the applicator.

[0006] The US Patent US11653739B1 assigned to APR Beauty Group Inc describes an applicator head designed to be used with a cosmetic dispensing package to dispense and apply fluid products. The applicator head is partially constructed of a material having thermal capacity, which may hold and transfer heat energy.

[0007] Another US patent US11096467B2 assigned to HCT Group Holding Ltd discloses a dispenser having a housing and a reservoir for containing a pharmaceutical or cosmetic care product. An applicator tip is attached to the housing and contains an applicator as well as a product delivery tunnel that runs through the tip and ends at an opening in the applicator. Further, a thermal storage mechanism is located on the applicator, away from the entrance and provides an application surface for contacting a user.

[0008] While such applicators are generally satisfactory, there still exists a need for an applicator head that is capable of providing a thermal treatment to the user's skin and is economical to manufacture and is aesthetically pleasing.

[0009] Therefore to overcome the shortcomings of the prior arts, there is a need to provide an appropriate ergonomic orientation for the thermal storage applicator part deprived of product delivery passage, which is strongly longitudinally oriented to the package and to the axis along which the product is dispensed from the applicator.

[0010] It would therefore be desirable to have a package with the product delivery channel through the non-thermal storage applicator part along its longitudinal axis and with the product dispensing axis oriented along the said longitudinal axis.

[0011] In accordance with the present disclosure, the disadvantages and limitations of the prior art are substantially avoided by providing an improved applicator for applying a product including a cosmetic or a care product. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to an applicator that may allow a product to be applied locally or topically to human skin or keratinous materials, such as hair, eyebrows, face, lips, nails, and / or eyelashes.

[0012] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide an applicator head that includes a thermal member having thermal capacities, capable of providing a cooling or heating sensation on the skin of the user.

[0013] Another objective of the present invention is to provide an applicator head that allows a product to be applied locally or topically to a selected area of a keratin surface and provides a thermal sensation to the keratin surface. The product may include viscous liquid, semisolid or powder products.

[0014] Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide an applicator head that is easy to use, inexpensive to manufacture, and visually appealing.

[0015] Further objects of the invention will appear as the description proceeds.

[0016] Accordingly, an applicator head may be provided to apply a product including a cosmetic or a care product. The applicator head comprises a main body and a thermal member. The thermal member may be made of a thermal storage material such as metal, ceramic, metal alloy, or stone. They are preferably materials with a thermal conductivity coefficient (A) greater than 10 W / (m*K). The thermal member may be used for massaging the user’s skin. At least a portion of the main body may define at least one application face and at least a portion of the thermal member may define at least one other application face. The thermal member may include a material capable of retaining and transferring heat or cold for a while.

[0017] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an applicator head comprises a main body having a dispensing aperture oriented along its dispensing axis. The dispensing aperture can be an orifice, a vent, a slit or a slot. The dispensing aperture may dispense a product stored in a container. Furthermore, the main body may comprise a connecting member configured to receive the product stored in the container. The main body and the connecting member may form a channel allowing the flow of the cosmetic or care product stored in the container onto the applicator face. The channel so formed is oriented in the same direction as the dispensing axis of the dispensing aperture and the longitudinal axis of the main body.

[0018] In an aspect of the present disclosure, the channel may comprise a first channel portion formed in the connecting member, a second channel portion formed in the main body, and a third channel portion formed in the main body. The first channel portion may be coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the main body, the second channel portion may be disposed at a first predetermined angle with respect to the first channel portion, and the third channel portion may be disposed at a second predetermined angle with respect to the second channel portion. Further, the third channel portion may be parallel to the first channel portion with an axis of the third channel portion offset from the longitudinal axis of the main body, the third channel portion further terminating at the dispensing aperture. The longitudinal axis of the channel portion terminating at the dispensing aperture defining the dispensing axis of the dispensing aperture.

[0019] In another aspect of the present disclosure, a collar head may be configured to be connected to the applicator head at one end and to the container at another end. The thermal member, the main body and the connecting member may be coaxial with a longitudinal axis of the collar. The collar head may further comprise first engagement members provided at a lower portion of the collar head, the first engagement members configured to mate with complementary engagement members provided in the container, to fasten the collar head to the container. The collar head may further comprise second engagement member provided at an upper portion of the collar head, the second engagement member configured to mate with complementary engagement member provided in a lower portion of the main body, to fasten the main body to the collar head. The collar head may further comprise third engagement member configured to mate with complementary engagement member of the connecting member, to fasten the connecting member to the collar head.

[0020] According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the applicator head comprises a main body and a thermal member constrained to the main body preferably in an integral manner and preferably using a coupling or joining feature. Further, the main body may comprise a coupling feature with a longitudinal axis substantially parallel or collinear with the longitudinal axis of the main body, the feature may be configured to couple the thermal member such that the longitudinal axis of the thermal member is aligned with the longitudinal axis of the main body and the connecting member.

[0021] According to an aspect of the present disclosure, the main body may include a slot to receive the corresponding thermal member, to couple the thermal member with the main body. Additionally, the slot in the main body may be constructed of any diameter and depth corresponding to the dimensions of the thermal member.

[0022] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the portion of the thermal member with a maximum area of the application face may be aligned substantially along the longitudinal axis of the main body. However, the application face of the thermal member and the application face of the main body were mainly distinguished along a line passing through a plane parallel to the dispensing axis (Y) and thus lie in different vertical planes and do not form a smooth continuous surface. According to yet another aspect of the present disclosure, the thermal member may be made of a material different from the material of the application face of the main body. The thermal member may be made of a material capable of holding and retaining a thermal charge. In one implementation, the thermal member may be made of metal. However, in other implementations, any suitable material may be used that may be capable of retaining heat or cold during the application of the fluid product. Suitable thermal storage materials include metals such as aluminium, titanium, steel, stone, nickel, gemstones, tin, copper, brass, and platinum, as well as their alloys.

[0023] According to yet another aspect of the present disclosure, the applicator head may be coupled to a housing such as a tube, bottle, tottle bottles or other containers for storing product. The main body of the applicator head may be integrally formed with the housing, or made separately and coupled to the housing such as by injection moulding or snap-fit arrangement. In some aspect of the present disclosure, the applicator head may be made separate from the housing and coupled thereto in a later operation.

[0024] According to yet another aspect of the present disclosure, further, the applicator head of the applicator assembly may be used to apply the product including a cosmetic or care product. Cosmetic or care products include viscous cosmetics, mascara, eyebrow powder, lip gloss, hair color, skincare, under-eye cosmetics, pharmaceutical and like products.
