Device for applying a cosmetic product, in particular mascara

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for applying a cosmetic product, in particular mascara, comprising an applicator ( 10 ) and a mesh ( 20 ), said applicator ( 10 ) comprising a plurality of fibres ( 12 ) forming an applicator zone (Z). The applicator ( 10 ) is able to be moved with respect to the mesh ( 20 ), said mesh ( 20 ) defining a lattice intended to be passed through by said fibres ( 12 ), said device being configured to vary the deployment of said fibres ( 12 ), from said mesh ( 20 ), when the applicator ( 10 ) is moved with respect to the mesh ( 20 ).

1 . A cosmetic product application device for applying a cosmetic product, comprising:
 an applicator and a sieve, said applicator comprising a plurality of fibres which form an application region, the applicator being moveable relative to the sieve, said sieve defining a mesh permitting said fibres to pass therethrough, said device varying deployment of said fibres from said sieve when the applicator is moved relative to the sieve.   
     
     
         2 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said sieve is in the form of a strip. 
     
     
         3 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said strip is substantially planar. 
     
     
         4 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the applicator comprises a core from which said application region extends, said core having a main longitudinal extension direction, and wherein the applicator is translatable relative to the sieve in said main longitudinal direction. 
     
     
         5 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said fibres extend in said main longitudinal direction in a retracted position relative to the sieve. 
     
     
         6 . The device according to  claim 4 , wherein said fibres fan out when in a deployed position relative to the sieve. 
     
     
         7 . The device according to  claim 4 , wherein the core of the applicator further comprises a proximal end and a distal end opposite said proximal end along said main longitudinal direction, and wherein said fibres project from said distal end. 
     
     
         8 . The device according to  claim 4 , wherein said fibres are divided into a plurality of fibre bundles by said sieve, said movement of said applicator varying the deployment of said plurality of bundles from said sieve. 
     
     
         9 . The device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a body supporting said sieve. 
     
     
         10 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said applicator ( 10 ) is movable in said body ( 30 ). 
     
     
         11 . The device according to  claim 9 , wherein said body is a flexible envelope. 
     
     
         12 . The device according to  claim 5 , wherein said fibres fan out when in a deployed position relative to the sieve. 
     
     
         13 . The device according to  claim 6 , wherein the core of the applicator further comprises a proximal end and a distal end opposite said proximal end along said main longitudinal direction, and wherein said fibres project from said distal end. 
     
     
         14 . The device according to  claim 5 , wherein said fibres are divided into a plurality of fibre bundles by said sieve, said movement of said applicator varying the deployment of said plurality of bundles from said sieve. 
     
     
         15 . The device according to  claim 6 , wherein said fibres are divided into a plurality of fibre bundles by said sieve, said movement of said applicator varying the deployment of said plurality of bundles from said sieve. 
     
     
         16 . The device according to  claim 7 , wherein said fibres are divided into a plurality of fibre bundles by said sieve, said movement of said applicator varying the deployment of said plurality of bundles from said sieve. 
     
     
         17 . The device according to  claim 10 , wherein said body is a flexible envelope.
