Transfer device for making up keratin materials

Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a device for applying a cosmetic product by transfer onto human keratin materials, comprising the step consisting in printing, using at least one digital printer, onto a surface a cosmetic ink, the ink being in the form of an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion comprising an emulsifier, the ink being liquid at 20° C.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cosmetic assembly for manufacturing a device for applying a cosmetic product by transfer onto human keratin materials, the manufacturing comprising printing, using at least one digital printer, onto a transfer surface of the device a cosmetic ink, the cosmetic assembly comprising, in a same packaging:
 a) a printer cartridge comprising the cosmetic ink, the cosmetic ink being in the form of an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion comprising an emulsifier, the cosmetic ink being liquid at 20° C., and   b) a substrate defining said transfer surface configured to be used in the printer using said cartridge for being printed with said cosmetic ink.   
     
     
         2 . A device for applying a cosmetic ink by transfer onto human keratin materials, comprising:
 a substrate having at least one transfer surface, and   a coat of cosmetic ink borne by the transfer surface and obtained by printing using at least one digital printer, the cosmetic ink being in the form of an emulsion and being transferable onto the keratin materials.   
     
     
         3 . The device according to  claim 2 , the cosmetic ink being transferable onto the keratin materials without addition of an intermediary fluid compound. 
     
     
         4 . The device according to  claim 2 , the substrate being non-flat. 
     
     
         5 . The device according to  claim 4 , the substrate being part of a roller or an applicator pad. 
     
     
         6 . The device according to  claim 2 , the cosmetic ink being printed in a predefined pattern. 
     
     
         7 . The device according to  claim 2 , the cosmetic ink comprising an oily phase comprising at least one of:
 esters of formula RCOOR′ in which R represents a higher fatty acid residue comprising from 7 to 19 carbon atoms and R′ represents a hydrocarbon-based chain comprising from 3 to 20 carbon atoms;   C 14 -C 22  fatty acids;   decanol, fatty alcohols containing from 12 to 26 carbon atoms;   liquid fatty acid triglycerides of 4 to 10 carbon atoms;
 isostearyl lactate, octyl hydroxystearate, octyldodecyl hydroxystearate, diisostearyl malate, triisocetyl citrate; 
 propylene glycol dioctanoate, neopentyl glycol diheptanoate, diethylene glycol diisononanoate; and/or 
   isododecane, isodecane, isohexadecane, decane, heptane, dodecane, cyclohexane.   
     
     
         8 . The device according to  claim 2 , the cosmetic ink having the capacity of transferring onto the keratin materials without addition of an intermediary fluid compound. 
     
     
         9 . The device according to  claim 2 , the cosmetic ink being not entirely dry when borne by the transfer surface and before application to the keratin materials after a time of 15 minutes after printing, at 25° C., kept in contact with the air and a normal hygrometry of 55% relative humidity. 
     
     
         10 . A device for applying a cosmetic ink by transfer onto human keratin materials, comprising:
 a substrate having at least one transfer surface, and   a coat of cosmetic ink borne by the transfer surface and obtained by printing using at least one digital printer, the cosmetic ink at least being capable of reforming an emulsion in the presence of water and being transferable onto the keratin materials.   
     
     
         11 . The device according to  claim 10 , the substrate being non-flat. 
     
     
         12 . The device according to  claim 11 , the substrate being part of a roller or an applicator pad. 
     
     
         13 . The device according to  claim 10 , the cosmetic ink being printed in a predefined pattern. 
     
     
         14 . A cosmetic assembly comprising, in a same packaging, a plurality of different devices, each device being according to  claim 2 , the devices differing by the chemical nature of the cosmetic ink that they bear. 
     
     
         15 . A cosmetic assembly comprising, in a same packaging, a plurality of different devices, each device being according to  claim 2 , the devices differing by a pattern thereby formed on the surface. 
     
     
         16 . A cosmetic assembly comprising, in a same packaging, a plurality of different devices, each device being according to  claim 2 , the devices differing by the form of the surface intended to engage with the keratin materials. 
     
     
         17 . A process for making up or caring for human keratin materials, comprising applying to the keratin materials the cosmetic ink present on a device according to  claim 2 . 
     
     
         18 . The process according to  claim 17 , the keratin materials intended to be coated with the cosmetic ink not having been covered, before application of the cosmetic ink, with an intermediary fluid compound intended to improve the transfer of the cosmetic ink. 
     
     
         19 . The process according to  claim 17 , lacking an addition to the cosmetic ink borne by the surface of an intermediary fluid compound intended to improve the transfer.
