Abstract

Applicator device (1) for a paste product, typically a cosmetic, typically intended to cooperate with a receptacle containing the paste product, contains a longitudinal body (2) with an axial direction (20), the longitudinal body (2) including an axial rod (3) and an applicator (4) fixed to the axial rod (3). The axial rod (3) is intended to cooperate with a manual gripping means of the applicator device (1), the applicator (4) is capable of sampling a fraction of the product contained in the receptacle, typically by cooperation of the applicator with a wiper, so that it can be applied on a support, usually a part of the body or the face when the product is a cosmetic. The applicator (4) forms a single piece plastic part (4'), typically a molded part made of one or several plastic materials, has a shape factor L/D varying from 2 to 7, where L is the axial length and D is the maximum radial diameter of the applicator (4) or a surrounding volume (40) of the applicator, the axial length L is between 10 and 20 mm, the applicator includes a support (8) and a plurality (5) of radial discontinuities (5') fixed to the support (8), the plurality of radial discontinuities (5) forming a plurality (6) of cavities and/or a plurality (7) of elements in relief (7') such that the device offers a high contact surface area S with the product and a high retention volume V of the product.
