Benefits of technology

[0009]By means of these features, the applicator device of the invention has lower energy consumption and avoids degrading the cosmetic contained in the reservoir because only the cosmetic carried by the applicator head once said head has been removed from the reservoir is normally heated.

Problems solved by technology

That device suffers from the drawbacks of having high energy consumption, insofar as it requires a relatively large quantity of cosmetic contained in the reservoir to be heated unnecessarily, and insofar as it is limited to one type of cosmetic composition having a predefined thermal profile.
In addition, repeated heating of the cosmetic contained in the reservoir can, even with an appropriate thermal profile, lead to the cosmetic losing some of its physico-chemical properties with use.

Embodiment Construction

[0031]FIG. 1 shows an applicator device 1 for applying a cosmetic, in particular mascara, which applicator device comprises an applicator 2 made, for example, of a plastics material or of some other material, and a reservoir 3 also made of a plastics material or of some other material.

[0032]The applicator 2 is provided with a cap 4 that closes the reservoir 3 and enables a user to take hold of the applicator 2.

[0033]In the example shown herein, the cap 4 is provided with two indicator lights 5, 6 for purposes that are explained below.

[0034]As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the cap 4 can be screwed or fastened in some other way onto the neck 7 of the reservoir 3, which reservoir 3 contains the cosmetic 8 in fluid form, e.g. mascara that is generally of more or less viscous or semi-liquid consistency.

[0035]The cap 4 is extended by a rod 9 which extends from said cap 4 to an end provided with an applicator head 10 adapted to apply the fluid 8 to a portion of the body of a user, in particular ...

Abstract

An applicator device for applying a cosmetic, the applicator device comprising a reservoir adapted to contain cosmetic in fluid form, an applicator having a cap that closes the reservoir and that is secured to a rod carrying an applicator head, a heater device adapted to heat the applicator head and controlled by a control circuits and a sensor adapted to detect the reservoir being opened by the cap being removed, the control circuit being connected to said sensor and being adapted to cause the heater device to operate only when said sensor detects such opening.

Description

[0001]The present invention relates to applicator devices for applying cosmetics, and to uses of such devices.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]More particularly, the invention relates to an applicator device for applying a cosmetic, the applicator device comprising:[0003]a reservoir adapted to contain cosmetic in fluid form (i.e. in the form of a liquid that can be more or less viscous or semi-liquid);[0004]an applicator having a cap that is adapted to close the reservoir and that is secured to a rod adapted to penetrate into said reservoir when the cap closes said reservoir, said rod carrying an applicator head adapted to apply the cosmetic to a portion of the body of a user (in particular for making up keratinous fibers such as eyelashes, eyebrows, and hair); and[0005]a heater device adapted to heat the applicator head and controlled by a control circuit.[0006]Document EP-A-1 466 541 describes an example of such an applicator device, in which the heater device is essentially adapt...
