Applicator for applying a cosmetic, makeup or care, product to the eyelashes and/or eyebrows

Abstract

The present invention relates to an applicator ( 2 ) for applying a cosmetic, makeup or care product (P) to the eyelashes and/or eyebrows, having a moulded applicator member ( 8 ) having:—a core ( 10 ) that extends along a longitudinal axis (X) and has two opposite longitudinal grooves that turn around said longitudinal axis (X) as they extend along the latter, and—spikes ( 18 ) carried by the core ( 10 ).

1 . Applicator for applying a cosmetic, makeup or care product to the eyelashes and/or eyebrows, having a moulded applicator member having:
 a core that extends along a longitudinal axis and has two opposite longitudinal grooves that turn around said longitudinal axis as they extend along the latter, and   spikes carried by the core.   
     
     
         2 . Applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the grooves of the core extend helically around the longitudinal axis of the core. 
     
     
         3 . Applicator according to  claim 2 , wherein the grooves of the core each have a constant helical pitch along the longitudinal axis of the core. 
     
     
         4 . Applicator according to  claim 2 , wherein the grooves of the core have the same helical pitch. 
     
     
         5 . Applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the grooves of the core are continuous along the longitudinal axis of the core, extending in particular from the proximal end of the core to its distal end. 
     
     
         6 . Applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the grooves are diametrically opposite. 
     
     
         7 . Applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the core has a cross section in the overall shape of an “ 8 ”. 
     
     
         8 . Applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the depth (h n ) of the grooves of the core is constant along their entire length. 
     
     
         9 . Applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the spikes are disposed in a plurality of rectilinear longitudinal rows. 
     
     
         10 . Applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the spikes have a first face that has a first, in particular flat, shape, and a second face that has a second, in particular rounded, shape. 
     
     
         11 . Applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the spikes are disposed along crowns of spikes, two consecutive crowns along the longitudinal axis of the core being offset angularly by a non-zero angle, in particular equal to half the angular pitch between the spikes of a crown. 
     
     
         12 . Applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the spikes are disposed along crowns of spikes, two consecutive first crowns along the longitudinal axis of the core being identical, the two following consecutive crowns being offset angularly by one and the same non-zero angle with respect to said first crowns. 
     
     
         13 . Device for packaging and applying a product to the eyelashes and/or eyebrows, having an applicator according to  claim 1  and a container, containing the product and having a wiping member.
