Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour le nettoyage du corps, en particulier pour le gommage du corps, constitué notamment d'un matériau non tissé.The present invention relates to a device for cleaning the body, in particular for body exfoliation, made up in particular of a material not woven.

Afin d'enlever les cellules mortes de la peau, on utilise de façon courante des produits cosmétiques contenant des particules exfoliantes comme par exemple de la poudre de polyéthylène, de fines particules de quartz ou de coques de noix. Toutefois, de tels produits cosmétiques sont vendus sans applicateur si bien que les utilisateurs se voient obligés d'utiliser un gant de toilette traditionnel, une éponge ou encore leurs mains pour appliquer le produit.In order to remove dead skin cells, cosmetic products containing exfoliating particles such as for example polyethylene powder, fine particles of quartz or shells of nuts. However, such cosmetic products are sold without an applicator if although users are obliged to use a washcloth traditional, a sponge or their hands to apply the product.

Il existe déjà des gants conçus pour appliquer des produits cosmétiques. Par exemple, le brevet US 4,347,931 décrit une moufle-poche présentant une face pelucheuse imprégnée. La moufle est réalisée à partir d'un film thermoplastique imperméable partiellement recouvert d'un revêtement pelucheux tissé ou non tissé. Une telle moufle n'a pas de face présentant une rugosité telle qu'elle permet d'enlever les cellules mortes de la peau par gommage. D'autre part, l'imprégnation de l'ensemble de la moufle, soit par l'utilisateur, soit en amont lors de sa fabrication, doit se faire en appliquant le produit sur chaque face étant donné que la moufle est réalisée en matériau imperméable.There are already gloves designed to apply cosmetic products. Through example, US Patent 4,347,931 describes a pocket muffle having one side impregnated fluff. The muffle is made from a thermoplastic film waterproof partially covered with a woven or non-woven fluffy coating woven. Such a muffle has no face having a roughness such that it removes dead skin cells by exfoliation. On the other hand, impregnation of the entire muffle, either by the user or upstream during its production, must be done by applying the product on each side since the muffle is made of waterproof material.

Le brevet FR 2 333 482 décrit également un gant pour nettoyer toute surface, sans que la main soit en contact avec le liquide nettoyant. Les deux faces du gant peuvent être réalisées dans des matières différentes, par exemple l'une abrasive et l'autre lustrante. L'utilisation d'un tel gant pour la toilette ou le massage est prévue, toutefois, lors d'une telle application, la face abrasive est remplacée par un tissu ou un produit quelconque. Une telle structure ne peut donc pas être utilisée de façon autonome pour le gommage. Patent FR 2 333 482 also describes a glove for cleaning any surface, without the hand being in contact with the cleaning liquid. The two sides of the glove can be made of different materials, for example one abrasive and the other polishing. The use of such a glove for washing or massage is provided, however, during such an application, the abrasive face is replaced by any fabric or product. Such a structure cannot therefore not be used independently for exfoliation.

Aussi, est-ce un des objets de l'invention que de réaliser un dispositif de gommage qui ne présente pas les inconvénients de la technique antérieure, et qui est notamment réalisable à faible coût et qui soit pratique à utiliser.Also, is it an object of the invention to provide a device for scrub which does not have the disadvantages of the prior art, and which is particularly achievable at low cost and which is practical to use.

C'est en particulier un objet de l'invention que de fournir un dispositif pour le gommage du corps qui est utilisable de façon autonome, sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'ajouter de produit supplémentaire.It is in particular an object of the invention to provide a device for the body scrub that can be used independently, without it being necessary to add additional product.

C'est encore un autre objet de l'invention que de fournir un dispositif pour le gommage du corps qui peut facilement être imprégné d'un produit cosmétique, dans sensiblement l'ensemble de sa structure.It is yet another object of the invention to provide a device for the body scrub which can easily be impregnated with a cosmetic product, in substantially all of its structure.

Selon l'invention, ces objets sont atteints en réalisant un dispositif de nettoyage pour le corps comprenant au moins une première feuille de matériau non tissé et une seconde feuille de matériau non tissé, les deux feuilles étant fixées entre elles sur une zone de leur périphérie de manière à former une enveloppe ouverte dans laquelle un utilisateur est apte à introduire sa main, une première face extérieure de l'enveloppe présentant une rugosité différente de la rugosité de la seconde face extérieure de l'enveloppe. La première face présente une rugosité telle qu'elle peut avoir une fonction exfoliante, la seconde face présentant une rugosité inférieure à celle de la première face, c'est-à-dire qu'elle a une surface plus douce que la première.According to the invention, these objects are achieved by producing a cleaning device for the body comprising at least a first sheet of nonwoven material and a second sheet of nonwoven material, the two sheets being fixed between them over an area of their periphery so as to form an envelope open in which a user is able to insert his hand, a first outer face of the envelope having a roughness different from the roughness of the second outer face of the envelope. The first side has a roughness such that it can have an exfoliating function, the second face having a roughness less than that of the first face, that is to say that it has a softer surface than the first one.

Ainsi, on a un dispositif du type d'un gant qui a deux fonctions c'est-à-dire qu'il permet à la fois d'enlever les cellules mortes de la peau en appliquant la face la plus rugueuse sur une zone du corps et de nettoyer ou d'essuyer la zone en appliquant ensuite la face la moins rugueuse. Un tel dispositif peut être utilisé sans produit cosmétique exfoliant puisque la face la plus rugueuse a une rugosité qui lui permet d'assurer la fonction de gommage, c'est-à-dire qu'elle permet d'enlever au moins en partie les cellules mortes de la surface de la peau en le déplaçant sur la peau. Thus, we have a device of the type of a glove which has two functions, that is to say that it allows both to remove dead skin cells by applying the face the rougher on an area of the body and clean or wipe the area in then applying the less rough side. Such a device can be used without exfoliating cosmetic product since the rougher side has a roughness which allows it to perform the scrub function, that is to say that it at least partially removes dead cells from the surface of the skin by moving it over the skin.

Pour choisir deux feuilles de rugosité différente, à savoir deux feuilles dont l'état de surface présente plus ou moins d'aspérités, on pourra utiliser n'importe quelle méthode de mesure de l'état de surface de manière à comparer la rugosité de feuilles différentes. On pourra par exemple mesurer le profil de la surface en utilisant une pointe diamant que l'on fait glisser sur la surface à mesurer et qui suit les différentes dénivellations de la surface. Les variations obtenues définissent une courbe qui est traitée mathématiquement par un calculateur pour calculer par exemple l'écart arithmétique moyen du profil. Une première surface dont l'écart arithmétique moyen est plus élevé que celui d'une seconde surface présentera une rugosité plus importante que la seconde. Il est bien évident que les rugosités peuvent être comparées par toute autre méthode de mesure de rugosité.To choose two sheets with different roughness, namely two sheets whose state surface has more or less roughness, we can use any which method of measuring the surface finish so as to compare the roughness of different leaves. We could for example measure the profile of the surface using a diamond point that is dragged over the surface to measure and follow the different slopes of the surface. Variations obtained define a curve which is mathematically processed by a calculator to calculate for example the mean arithmetic deviation of the profile. A first surface whose mean arithmetic difference is higher than that of a second surface will have a roughness greater than the second. It is quite obvious that the roughness can be compared by any other method roughness measurement.

Avantageusement, l'ensemble du dispositif constitue une structure perméable. Au sens de la présente invention, on entend par "structure perméable" une structure telle que lorsqu'un produit notamment cosmétique est déposé sur la première feuille en vu de l'imprégner, ledit produit traverse ladite première feuille et imprègne la seconde feuille. D'une manière générale, il s'agit d'une structure perméable à l'eau.Advantageously, the entire device constitutes a permeable structure. For the purposes of the present invention, the term "permeable structure" means a structure such as when a product, in particular a cosmetic product, is deposited on the first sheet in view of impregnating it, said product passes through said first sheet and permeates the second sheet. Generally speaking, it is a water permeable structure.

Ainsi, dans le cas où l'on souhaite préimprégner le gant d'un produit, il ne sera nécessaire de déposer le produit que sur une seule feuille du gant, le produit pouvant atteindre l'ensemble du fait de sa perméabilité. Cela permet d'obtenir un gant préimprégné d'une façon simple et peu onéreuse par rapport à un gant présentant une strucure imperméable au produit qui nécessiterait de déposer le produit sur chaque feuille. En outre, dans le cas où l'utilisateur souhaite ajouter un produit cosmétique, qu'il ait une fonction exfoliante, hydratante, apaisante, ou nettoyante, il pourra l'appliquer indifféremment sur l'une ou l'autre feuille, le produit pouvant là encore se répartir sur les deux. Par contre, si l'utilisateur ne souhaite avoir du produit que sur une feuille, il lui suffit de l'appliquer lorsqu'une de ses mains se trouve à l'intérieur du gant. Thus, in the case where it is desired to prepreg the glove of a product, it will not be necessary to deposit the product only on one sheet of the glove, the product being able to reach the whole because of its permeability. This provides a glove prepreg in a simple and inexpensive way compared to a glove having a structure impermeable to the product which would require depositing the product on each sheet. In addition, in the event that the user wishes to add a cosmetic product, whether it has an exfoliating, moisturizing, soothing function, or cleaning, he can apply it indifferently on one or the other sheet, the product can again be distributed on both. However, if the user does not want to have product only on a sheet, they just need to apply it when a of his hands is inside the glove.

Avantageusement, l'enveloppe présente une symétrie autour de son axe X longitudinal. Ainsi, l'utilisateur peut enfiler indifféremment sa main droite ou sa main gauche, et avoir l'une ou l'autre des feuilles de l'enveloppe à l'intérieur de sa main de manière à l'appliquer sur le corps. Le dispositif est donc facilement utilisable et pratique pour l'une ou l'autre de ses fonctions.Advantageously, the envelope has symmetry about its axis X longitudinal. Thus, the user can either put on his right hand or his left hand, and have either of the envelope sheets inside of his hand so as to apply it to the body. The device is therefore easily usable and practical for one or other of its functions.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, l'enveloppe a une forme de moufle munie de deux pouces. Ainsi, l'enveloppe n'aura pas tendance à tourner autour de la main de l'utilisateur lorsque celui-ci l'appliquera sur son corps. Selon une variante, l'enveloppe a une forme de gant symétrique à cinq doigts.According to a particular embodiment, the envelope has a muffle shape with two inches. Thus, the envelope will not tend to turn around when the user applies it to their body. According to one alternatively, the envelope has a symmetrical glove shape with five fingers.

Le matériau non tissé constituant les feuilles est un non tissé de fibres thermoplastiques, notamment de polyoléfines, choisies parmi les polypropylènes, les polyéthylènes, ou les polyesters, combinées ou non avec des fibres naturelles de type cellulose.The nonwoven material constituting the sheets is a nonwoven of fibers. thermoplastics, in particular polyolefins, chosen from polypropylenes, polyethylenes, or polyesters, whether or not combined with natural cellulose-type fibers.

La première feuille présente une épaisseur comprise entre 400 et 1000 µm, de préférence entre 450 et 600 µm. La seconde feuille la plus douce présente une épaisseur comprise entre 300 et 1000 µm, de préférence entre 450 et 600 µm. Ainsi, le matériau non tissé permet d'utiliser des feuilles relativement peu épaisses et de former un gant à partir de peu de matière et donc peu coûteux. De tels gants pourront par exemple être destinés à un usage unique. De plus, les gants ainsi formés sont peu encombrants et peuvent facilement être introduits dans un suremballage destiné par exemple à être placé sur un récipient contenant un produit cosmétique.The first sheet has a thickness of between 400 and 1000 μm, of preferably between 450 and 600 µm. The second softest leaf has a thickness between 300 and 1000 µm, preferably between 450 and 600 µm. Thus, the nonwoven material makes it possible to use relatively few sheets. thick and form a glove from little material and therefore inexpensive. Such gloves could for example be intended for single use. Moreover, the gloves thus formed are compact and can easily be introduced into an overpack intended for example to be placed on a container containing a cosmetic product.

Avantageusement, les deux feuilles sont thermoscellées selon la zone de leur périphérie. Une telle fixation est simple à réaliser et est relativement robuste.Advantageously, the two sheets are heat-sealed according to the zone of their periphery. Such a fixing is simple to carry out and is relatively robust.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, au moins une des feuilles est imprégnée d'un produit cosmétique. Avantageusement, on prévoit que chacune des deux feuilles est imprégnée d'un produit cosmétique différent. On peut par exemple prévoir que l'une et/ou l'autre feuille(s) est (sont) imprégnée(s) d'un produit gommant, d'un produit hydratant, d'un produit apaisant, et/ou d'un produit nettoyant. Dans le cas où chacune des deux feuilles est imprégnée d'un produit différent, on pourra par exemple introduire une feuille de matériau imperméable à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe avant l'imprégnation de chaque feuille du gant pour éviter le mélange des deux produits.According to a preferred embodiment, at least one of the sheets is impregnated of a cosmetic product. Advantageously, it is expected that each of the two leaves is impregnated with a different cosmetic product. We can for example provide that one and / or the other sheet (s) is (are) impregnated with a product scrub, moisturizer, soothing product, and / or product cleaner. In the case where each of the two sheets is impregnated with a product different, we could for example introduce a sheet of waterproof material inside the envelope before impregnating each sheet of the glove to avoid mixing the two products.

L'invention consiste, mis à part les dispositions exposées ci-dessus, en un certain nombre d'autres dispositions qui seront explicitées ci-après, à propos d'exemples de réalisation non limitatifs, décrits en référence aux figures annexées, parmi lesquelles :

  • la figure unique illustre une vue en perspective d'un mode de réalisation d'un dispositif de gommage selon l'invention.
The invention consists, apart from the arrangements set out above, of a certain number of other arrangements which will be explained below, with reference to nonlimiting exemplary embodiments, described with reference to the appended figures, among which:
  • the single figure illustrates a perspective view of an embodiment of a gumming device according to the invention.

Si on se réfère à la figure unique on peut voir un gant 10 à cinq doigts présentant une symétrie autour de son axe X longitudinal. Le gant peut également avoir la forme d'une simple enveloppe, d'une moufle, ou encore d'une moufle à deux pouces. La symétrie permet d'utiliser le gant aussi bien de la main gauche que de la main droite. Elle permet également d'obtenir une réversibilité du gant telle que l'utilisateur peut facilement, en tournant le gant autour de sa main, placer la première puis la seconde feuille du gant, et/ou vice versa, à l'intérieur de sa main pour les appliquer successivement sur son corps.If we refer to the single figure we can see a glove 10 with five fingers having symmetry about its longitudinal X axis. The glove can also have the shape of a simple envelope, a mitt, or from a two-inch mitten. The symmetry allows the glove to be used as well left hand than right hand. It also provides a reversibility of the glove such that the user can easily, by turning the glove around his hand, place the first and then the second sheet of the glove, and / or vice vice versa, inside his hand to apply them successively on his body.

Le gant 10 est réalisé à partir de deux feuilles 20, 30 de matériau non tissé.The glove 10 is made from two sheets 20, 30 of nonwoven material.

La première feuille 20, qui a une fonction abrasive permettant le gommage, est constituée d'un matériau non tissé de fibres de nature synthétique thermoplastique. Les fibres sont par exemple de type polyester, nylon ou de préférence polyoléfine. Elles peuvent être combinées ou non avec des fibres naturelles de type cellulose. Une couche abrasive de filaments thermoplastiques de polypropylène est déposée sur les fibres. La surface de la feuille qui constitue la face extérieure du gant présente avantageusement des embossages. On peut alternativement utiliser un matériau non tissé recouvert de gouttes d'encre ou de toute autre aspérité permettant d'obtenir une rugosité suffisante pour assurer un gommage. La feuille 20 abrasive a une épaisseur de 450 µm. On utilise par exemple une feuille de non tissé commercialisée par la société Ahlstrom Dexter & Paper sous la référence Hydraspun® 8545.The first sheet 20, which has an abrasive function allowing the exfoliation, is made of a non-woven material of synthetic fibers thermoplastic. The fibers are for example of polyester, nylon or preferably polyolefin. They can be combined or not with fibers natural cellulose type. An abrasive layer of filaments polypropylene thermoplastics is deposited on the fibers. The surface of the sheet which constitutes the outer face of the glove advantageously has embossing. You can alternatively use a covered nonwoven material drops of ink or any other roughness allowing roughness to be obtained sufficient to ensure an exfoliation. The abrasive sheet has a thickness of 450 µm. For example, a nonwoven sheet sold by the Ahlstrom Dexter & Paper under the reference Hydraspun® 8545.

La seconde feuille 30, qui a une fonction nettoyante qui permet d'enlever les cellules mortes après gommage, est également constituée d'un matériau non tissé de fibres de nature synthétique thermoplastique. Les fibres sont par exemple de type polyoléfine, nylon ou de préférence polyester. Une telle feuille a un état de surface très doux. La feuille 30 a une épaisseur de 560 µm. On utilise par exemple une feuille de non tissé commercialisée par la société Ahlstrom Dexter & Paper sous la référence Hydraspun® 8552.The second sheet 30, which has a cleaning function which removes the dead cells after exfoliation, is also made of a material not woven of thermoplastic synthetic fibers. The fibers are by example of polyolefin, nylon or preferably polyester type. Such a sheet has a very soft surface finish. The sheet 30 has a thickness of 560 μm. We uses for example a sheet of nonwoven marketed by the company Ahlstrom Dexter & Paper under the reference Hydraspun® 8552.

Les deux feuilles 20 et 30 sont thermoscellées selon une ligne 40 correspondant sensiblement à leur périphérie. Les deux feuilles présentant la même base, la soudure se fait facilement thermiquement. Mais il est bien évident que la fixation peut se faire par tout autre moyen comme par exemple par collage.The two sheets 20 and 30 are heat-sealed along a line 40 substantially corresponding to their periphery. The two sheets showing the same basis, the welding is easily done thermally. But it is good obvious that the fixing can be done by any other means such as for example by collage.

Lors de son utilisation, l'utilisateur peut utiliser le gant sans ajouter de produit. Il applique tout d'abord la feuille abrasive pour enlever les cellules mortes puis, en tournant le gant autour de sa main, il utilise la feuille la plus douce pour essuyer la surface gommée. S'il souhaite ajouter un produit gommant, il peut le déposer sur l'une ou l'autre feuille. Il peut également, après avoir appliqué la feuille abrasive, déposer un produit nettoyant, hydratant, ou apaisant de préférence sur la feuille douce. Ainsi, grâce à un seul dispositif, l'utilisateur effectue le gommage puis, s'essuie de manière à enlever les cellules mortes, tout en s'hydratant.When in use, the user can use the glove without adding any product. he first apply the abrasive sheet to remove the dead cells then, by turning the glove around his hand, he uses the softest sheet to wipe the rubber surface. If he wishes to add an exfoliating product, he can place on either sheet. He may also, after applying the abrasive sheet, apply a cleansing, moisturizing or soothing product preferably on the soft leaf. So, thanks to a single device, the user scrubs and wipes to remove dead cells, while hydrating.

Selon un mode particulier de l'invention, avant d'être conditionné, le gant est préimprégné d'un produit cosmétique. Un produit de gommage est par exemple introduit dans la première feuille abrasive. On peut également ajouter un produit hydratant dans la feuille la plus douce. According to a particular embodiment of the invention, before being conditioned, the glove is prepreg of a cosmetic product. A scrub product is for example introduced into the first abrasive sheet. You can also add a moisturizing product in the softest leaf.

Le gant est ensuite conditionné dans un emballage de type sachet flexible, pochette en carton ou en plastique, ou encore sous forme d'une pochette de type étiquette qui peut être positionnée sur un récipient de produit cosmétique. Lorsque le gant est préimprégné, on utilise de préférence un emballage imperméable au produit contenu dans le gant, de préférence en plastique.The glove is then packaged in a flexible bag type packaging, cardboard or plastic pouch, or in the form of a type label which can be placed on a container of cosmetic product. When the glove is prepreg, a packaging is preferably used impermeable to the product contained in the glove, preferably plastic.

Dans la description détaillée qui précède, il a été fait référence à des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention. Il est évident que des variantes peuvent y être apportées sans s'écarter de l'esprit de l'invention telle que revendiquée ci-après.In the foregoing detailed description, reference has been made to modes of preferred embodiments of the invention.
