Cosmetic product applicator with a felt tip

Abstract

The invention relates to a device ( 1 ) for dispensing and applying a cosmetic product, comprising: a container ( 3 ) intended to contain a cosmetic product, said container ( 3 ) defining a cosmetic product reservoir and opening out through an orifice ( 7 ) for dispensing the cosmetic product; a cosmetic product applicator member ( 5 ) made in fiber material and inserted into said dispensing orifice ( 7 ) so as to cross said dispensing orifice ( 7 ); a means ( 12; 60, 62 ) for dispensing said cosmetic product out of the container ( 3 ), the dispensing means being configured so as to generate an underpressure or an overpressure in the cosmetic product reservoir so as to force the cosmetic product to pass through the applicator member ( 5 ). The dispensing and application device further comprises a sealing sheath ( 45 ) surrounding the applicator member ( 5 ) at the dispensing orifice ( 7 ).

1 . A device for dispensing and applying a cosmetic product, comprising:
 a container intended to contain a cosmetic product, said container defining a cosmetic product reservoir and opening out through an orifice for dispensing the cosmetic product;   a member for applying a cosmetic product, made in a fiber material and inserted into said dispensing orifice so as to cross said dispensing orifice;   a dispensing means of said cosmetic product out of the container, the dispensing means being configured for generating an underpressure or an overpressure in the cosmetic product reservoir so as to force the cosmetic product to pass through the applicator member;   wherein the dispensing and application device further comprises a sealing sheath surrounding the applicator member at the dispensing orifice.   
     
     
         2 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the sealing sheath is made in plastic material. 
     
     
         3 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the applicator member provided with the sealing sheath is forcibly inserted into the dispensing orifice. 
     
     
         4 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the sealing sheath is formed by a plastic material coating made on the applicator member. 
     
     
         5 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the sealing sheath is made by extrusion of plastic material on the applicator member. 
     
     
         6 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the applicator member comprises a proximal portion extending inside the container from the dispensing orifice and a distal portion extending on the outside of the container from the dispensing orifice, the distal portion comprising an application tip at its distal end, and wherein the sealing sheath does not surround the application tip of the applicator member. 
     
     
         7 . The device according to  claim 6 , wherein the sealing sheath exclusively extends inside the container, the applicator member being without any sealing sheath in its distal portion. 
     
     
         8 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the applicator member comprises, at its proximal end, an end portion extending over a portion of the length of the applicator member inside the container, said end portion being without any sealing sheath. 
     
     
         9 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the dispensing means comprises a deformable portion of the wall of the container. 
     
     
         10 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the dispensing means comprises a piston, mounted so as to be displaceable in translation in said container and delimiting, in said container, a cosmetic product reservoir. 
     
     
         11 . The device according to  claim 10 , wherein the dispensing means further comprises means for actuating said piston from the outside of the container, configured for generating the displacement of the piston in the container. 
     
     
         12 . The device according to  claim 11 , wherein said actuation means comprise a push button, positioned at one end of the container. 
     
     
         13 . The device according to  claim 11 , wherein the actuation means comprise an actuation member mounted so as to be displaceable in rotation on the container and means for connecting the actuation member to the piston able to convert the rotation of the actuation member with respect to the container into a translation of the piston in the container. 
     
     
         14 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the dispensing means comprises a pump. 
     
     
         15 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the container comprises a body comprising a neck delimiting an aperture for extracting the cosmetic product out of the body, and an applicator-holder engaged on said neck, the dispensing orifice of the container being formed at an end of the applicator-holder opposite to the body. 
     
     
         16 . The device according to  claim 2 , wherein the applicator member provided with the sealing sheath is forcibly inserted into the dispensing orifice. 
     
     
         17 . The device according to  claim 2 , wherein the sealing sheath is formed by a plastic material coating made on the applicator member. 
     
     
         18 . The device according to  claim 3 , wherein the sealing sheath is formed by a plastic material coating made on the applicator member. 
     
     
         19 . The device according to  claim 2 , wherein the sealing sheath is made by extrusion of plastic material on the applicator member. 
     
     
         20 . The device according to  claim 3 , wherein the sealing sheath is made by extrusion of plastic material on the applicator member.
