In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, described prodger formed along at least two of support member 11 groups 15,15 ', each group that is made of prodger is leaned on enough closely, so that it enters when contacting with them at eyelashes and/or eyebrow, eyelashes and/or eyebrow can be separated.Group 15 and 15 ' be separated out by a gap 16 does not have prodger on this gap 16, can be bonded together discretely at these position eyelashes and/or eyebrow.For combing, gap 16 exists simultaneously with the prodger group, and it is a branch of that this makes that device can gather into some eyelashes and/or eyebrow, and separate some other eyelashes and/or the dressing effect of eyebrow to obtain to look simultaneously.

As long as can obtain desired effects, the shape of described prodger, number and layout can be diverse.

In attached embodiment illustrated in figures 1 and 2, it is a steady state value " e " that described prodger is arranged to the spacing that makes between each group 15 and 15 ' interior prodger.Just, for example when the time from a common point measurement, this starting point for example is the position at the prodger 12a at delegation end, all prodger 12a among one

group

15 or 15 ' and 12b are arranged in axial location separately along a line X, each described position and starting point are at a distance of the integral multiple for " e ".The adjacent set spacing " d " that is spaced each other, as shown in Figure 2, " d " is the integral multiple of " e ", as d=2e.

As shown in Figure 3, the distance that belongs between the adjacent prodger 12a of adjacent set separately need not be a constant value.In the figure, gap 16 has different separately width d1 and d2, and the value of these two width is all greater than spacing " e ".

The prodger that in described group, also can comprise as shown in Figure 4, different numbers.

Shown in Fig. 2-4, in any one group, or in all groups, prodger all has top and the base portion on same straight line.Yet also may on each side of how much parting surfaces some skews appear at least alternately all.For example, described how much parting surfaces comprise the line of described prodger along its layout.In order to illustrate this possibility, accompanying drawing 5 illustrates prodger 12a of delegation and 12b, this prodger is arranged by this way, promptly this row prodger is made up of a series of prodgers that alternately are arranged in the opposite side of how much parting surfaces regularly, all prodgers that are positioned at the same side of this geometry parting surface are retained therein, and the individual prodger of the n of a side (n is an integer) is omitted on the opposite side of how much parting surfaces with regular fashion, for example keeps one in two prodgers.In accompanying drawing 5, as a hard-core embodiment, the position of the prodger of being omitted is represented with round dot.Record by the projection on its online X apart from e and d.

Certainly, all be positioned at the prodger on parting surface the same side how much except moving, described gap 16 also can be formed by alternate manner.For example, accompanying drawing 6 illustrates a kind of arrangement of prodger, and wherein prodger is removed from the both sides of how much parting surfaces.For example remove one, remove one in the individual prodger of opposite side m (integer) in the individual prodger of a side n (integer).M and n can equate.

Comb among embodiment as shown in Figure 1 not only can be after being eyelashes and/or eyebrow applying cosmetic product with a different applicator, is used for these eyelashes of combing and/or eyebrow, also can be utilized for eyelashes and/or eyebrow applying cosmetic product.

In such cases, this comb can share with the feeding mechanism of cosmetics.

For example, accompanying drawing 7 illustrates a device 20, and this device 20 comprises a container 21, and this container fills the cosmetics P that is used to apply to eyelashes and/or eyebrow; An applicator 30, this applicator 30 comprises a rod member 31, is a coating part of for example being made up of above-mentioned comb 10 at an end of this rod member, is a handle piece 32 at the other end of this rod member, this handle piece 32 also can be used as the lid that prevents container 21 seepages.For example, this handle piece can be suitable for screwing down on the neck 22 of container, and described neck 22 has an external screw-thread.

Shown in this embodiment, polishing piece 40 is installed in the inboard of neck 22, and when applicator was extracted from container, this polishing piece was used for wiping rod member 31 and coating part 10.This polishing piece can make cosmetics remain in the gap 16.

Described prodger, as comb 10 tooth can be enough hard in order to avoid in wiping process, be driven plain.Because the rib of wiper antelabium can not reach the bottom in gap 16, this prodger helps to retain cosmetics in gap 16.Along with the part that comb arranged by fully wiping, and the part of not having a comb comprises and is enough to make eyelashes to assemble the cosmetics of bunchy in a large number, can obtain along the cosmetics of the uneven distribution of comb.

Coating part according to other embodiments of the invention will be described below.

Accompanying drawing 8 illustrates a comb, and the layout of describing in the layout of tooth and the above-mentioned accompanying drawing 5 in this comb is similar, and just, delegation's tooth extends along a support member, and the tooth in each group alternately is arranged in the both sides of how much parting surfaces.Compare at the tooth that the opposite side of how much parting surfaces alternately extends with delegation all continuous teeth, some tooth that is positioned at a specific side of how much parting surfaces is removed, and therefore forms recess 50.

As shown in Figure 8,

prodger

12a, 12b is the form of tooth, the width of this tooth reduces when being parallel to the orientation measurement of the longitudinal axis that applies part on the edge gradually, as reducing gradually towards its free end, therefore this prodger of two vicinities that is positioned at the opposite side of described how much parting surfaces has separately formed a notch 52, and when when end points is observed described comb, this notch 52 has one and is the profile of V-arrangement substantially.The base portion of described tooth does not need to extend with respect to the vertical axis tilt ground of illustrated support member.As shown in the figure, described coating part has terminal and base portion part 54,55, and this end and base portion part 54,55 are shaped as to be convenient to pass from polishing piece 40.Among the present invention, on such end and base portion part, there is not prodger.

Coating part as shown in Figure 9 is different with coating part shown in Figure 8, coating part shown in Figure 9 coating part more shown in Figure 8 each group 15 and 15 ' in lacked a tooth, thereby it has formed other additional group and gap 16.As shown in Figure 6, these teeth that have been moved are not sides of having living space that all is positioned at described how much parting surfaces.

In the embodiment shown in Figure 10, described coating part has delegation's base portion tooth in alignment.The free end of this tooth is arranged to be similar to mode shown in Figure 6.Just, in each group tooth, the end of tooth all is arranged in the both sides of how much parting surfaces continuously and substantially alternately.

Coating part shown in the accompanying drawing 11 comprises delegation's tooth, and the base portion of this tooth and free end are substantially in same plane.For example, the layout of this tooth can be similar with one of the layout of tooth shown in accompanying drawing 3 and 4.Can find out also that from accompanying drawing 11 in a given group, prodger can have different height.

Described prodger can have the part or the angled section of projection to act on eyelashes and/or the eyebrow with easier.

For example, accompanying drawing 12 illustrated prodgers include the section 63 at angle.By seeing that referring to this accompanying drawing the supporting surface 60 that connects prodger on the support member itself demonstrates one is not the shape on plane yet.For example, it can be that outside as shown in the figure is a convex, or the outside is the spill (not shown).

As shown in Figure 13, be used to separate the prodger of eyelashes except comprising, described coating part comprises that also at least one can draw the tip 65 of a line at eyelid.This figure also illustrates a gap 16, and this gap 16 independently forms between the prodger 12a one group of prodger 15 and one.

In the part that gap 16 between on the same group the prodger 12a can not have projection that belongs to not of two vicinities at all, or as shown in figure 14, this recess can comprise that at least one is suitable for retaining the part 70 of the projection of cosmetics.The part of this or these projection can have the various shapes different with the prodger of an adjacent groups, and the shape of short tooth is as shown in Figure 15 especially arranged.This or these protruding part 70 is unsuitable for separating the eyelashes that pass between the contiguous prodger 12a.

As shown in Figure 15, in a prodger group that provides, these prodgers can have different shapes.In the embodiment shown in this figure, at least one group of prodger comprises wide tooth and narrow tooth simultaneously, and all teeth all form each other at paired tooth and are the notch 71 of V-arrangement substantially.Accompanying drawing 15 also illustrates a gap 16, and this gap 16 only has bossing 70 on its sub-fraction of extending along support member.

Described coating part can contain not only delegation's prodger, and particularly, as shown in Figure 16, this coating part has the prodger of two series.As can be seen from the figure, the coating part comprises prodger 80 and basic second series prodger 90 with respect to first series of one first series.When observing this coating part from the side, some prodgers at least the first series 80 have the free end of arranging along the first line A substantially, and this first line is generally protruding.At least some prodgers in the second series 90 have the free end of arranging along the second line B substantially, and this second line B is generally recessed.For example, the prodger of first series 80 can be used to be eyebrow and/or eyelash cosmetic, and the prodger of second series 90 can be used to be eyelash cosmetic.

In embodiment as shown in figure 16, first series 80 comprise at least two

group prodgers

15 and 15 that separated by a gap 16 that does not contain prodger '.

Accompanying drawing 17 is different with the coating part shown in the accompanying drawing 16 with the coating part shown in 18.Being positioned at the same side on this coating part and being also has at least two

group prodgers

15 and 15 that separated by gap 16 on concave B one side '.

As shown in Figure 19, no matter which type of shape is described prodger have, and they can be covered by flocking 91.

For instance, as shown in Figure 20, described prodger also can have the free end 92 of hook-type, and eyelashes and/or eyebrow are used for holding.

As shown in Figure 21, when observing the coating part from end points, this coating part comprises the prodger that multirow extends at identical gyratory directions.For example, the extension of the supporting surface that this prodger can be by a vicinity is connected on the support member.About the more detailed description of such coating part, referring to European patent application EP 1070468A.

Accompanying drawing 22 has very schematically shown a kind of coating part, and this coating part comprises the multirow prodger, as comprises four lines.Each row prodger comprises the prodger that at least two groups (15 and 15 ') are separated by gap 16, and for example, this gap can be made into the form of a recess.

As shown in figure 22, all teeth can all be identical, and promptly each provisional capital is the reflection around the adjacent with it row of the axle of support member.Different with it, as shown in Figure 23, at least two row are different, therefore at support member by after its axle rotation, as among the embodiment turn over 1/4 circle after, at least one gap 16 in delegation can not be just in time overlapping with the gap 16 in another row.In these embodiments, be elongated prodger in the direction of the axis that is parallel to described row and have rectangular surface.

As shown in figure 24, prodger can be connected on the support member in a different manner, as by a supporting surface that is basically perpendicular to it.

As shown in figure 25, prodger can have one to be columniform part substantially, forms various fringe shape things.

Accompanying drawing 26 illustrates a coating part, and this coating part comprises a support member 100, and a hole is arranged on this support member.And this support member has two relative zones 101 that are used to connect prodger, and this coating part is for example similar to the described coating part of European patent application EP 1169941A.Accompanying drawing 27 is along the detailed side schematic view of the coating part of arrow XXVII direction among Figure 26.

As shown in figure 28, described prodger for example also can be limited by the jagged edge of a wall 110.This wall 110 is connected on the support member by the sub-fraction of its length at least.Or as shown in Figure 29, this wall only is connected the near-end and the far-end of support member.For example, between wall 110 and support member, formed a slit 111 to retain a certain amount of cosmetics.Can be about above-mentioned coating part referring to European patent application EP 1157629A and EP1157632A, a kind of coating part has wherein been described, have by the prodger that the edge limited of a wall on this coating part, and this wall is connected on this support member by its whole length or partial-length.

Shown in Figure 30-32, described coating part also can be made of a comb 140.This comb 140 has two parts 141 and 142, and these two parts are suitable for sliding over each other along the longitudinal axis of described comb.Each part all contains tooth 12a, 12b.Accompanying drawing 31 is planes of this comb 140, and accompanying drawing 32 is side views of this comb 140.

As shown in figure 31, at first relevant position between relative to each other, the tooth on the described part 141 can occupy at axial location, and the tooth on these teeth and another part 142 is basic identical.When therefore observing this comb from the side, can only see that delegation has the tooth of identical tooth pitch.

When described part 141 was slided with respect to another part 142, the tooth of this part 141 was given birth to axial dipole field with respect to the tooth and hair of another part 142, axial dipole field also occurs between these two parts.Therefore as shown in Figure 32, second relevant position between relative to each other, delegation's tooth substantially alternately are positioned at the relative both sides of how much parting surfaces.

Tooth on described a part of 141 is arranged on the surface vertically, and the distance between these two axles is the integral multiple of the spacing " e " of two teeth on described a part of 141, and identical with it layout is arranged on another part 142.Tooth on this 142 part is more than the tooth on described 141 parts.Described 141 and 142 parts can be driven by any suitable mechanical device.In U.S. Pat 5086793, provided a kind of like this example of mechanical device.

The structure of comb shown in 32 has been offset a distance between described two parts 141 and 142 with reference to the accompanying drawings, and this distance is e/2 substantially.

Prodger might have different size and difform tooth.

Particularly, shown in Figure 33 and 34, can use the leg-of-mutton tooth of different gradients.

Or rather, accompanying drawing 33 illustrates a comb, and

continuous tooth

12a, 12b on this comb join at base portion.When observing this comb from the side, these teeth are not crossovers.These teeth are L shaped at an angle alpha 1 with respect to their longitudinal axis, and form one group of prodger 15, and the top of these prodgers distance to each other is e.Tooth 12a is with respect to its longitudinal axis shape at an angle alpha 2, α 2＞α 1, and between this tooth and described group 15 gap 16 is arranged.The distance on the top of adjacent with it tooth is d in the top of tooth 12a and group 15, this apart from d greater than described apart from e.

As shown in figure 33, the shape with tooth 12a of gradient α 2 is symmetrical with respect to a midplane.This midplane passes the top of this tooth and perpendicular to plane shown in Figure 33.Yet the shape of this tooth also can be asymmetric.

For example, some teeth in described row can have a bigger gradient in a side, and a less gradient is arranged on opposite side.

Accompanying drawing 34 illustrates a comb, and the tooth 12a of the end of one group of prodger 15 in this comb presents a gradient α 3 in the side of its contiguous tooth 12b on the same group, and this tooth presents a different with it gradient α 4 in the side outside described group.

As shown in figure 34, formed a gap 16 between the tooth 12a of asymmetric shape having.

Described prodger also can have a plurality of tops free end, as shown in figure 35, and especially when prodger is Y shape.The spacing of measuring from their base portion centers between the prodger among a group is e.

Two groups 15 and 15 ' in two prodger 12a between a length is arranged is the gap of d, this length d is greater than the spacing e between two prodgers in a group.

As shown in the figure, this gap 16 itself comprises the bossing 70 with identical appearance.For example, measure from the bottom of

prodger

12a or 12b, a such bossing 70 is all shorter than any one adjacent with it prodger.

Prodger can be not only with the form appearance of tooth, and shown in Figure 36-39, prodger can also occur with the form that is installed in a brushing cluster on the support member.This support member is not to be formed by a spiral helicine core.

Described in European patent application EP 1155637, described brushing cluster can be inserted in the hole of support member, and they can be installed in this place by the punching press support member.Also can use some other mounting means, as brushing cluster is held by adhesive or bail.

The gap 16 that being suitable for of forming between the group of prodger separated eyelashes can be formed by the bristle of being omitted fully, or these gaps are formed by the bristle of short length.

As shown in Figure 36, the surface at the terminal place of described bristle is the plane substantially, or as shown in figure 37, this surface is towards one of the outside common concave surface, or should form zigzag face as shown in figure 38 in the surface, or should form convex surface as shown in Figure 39 in the surface.

As shown in Figure 38, supported hole can be through hole or blind hole.Bristle tuft is folded into U-shaped and is inserted in the described supported hole and forms the bristle rings bundle with the side at support member.As shown in Figure 39, these bristle rings bundles can be used for all forming brushing cluster in the both sides of support member by cutting optionally.

Shown in accompanying drawing 36-39, measure at the base portion of three continuous brushing clusters they between spacing be certain value e.For example, wherein each brushing cluster can be considered to constitute the prodger shown in the accompanying drawing 2-6.

An applicator among the present invention can share with a container.This container comprises a wiper, and this wiper not only can comprise resilient lip.For example wiper also can comprise as shown in figure 40 the block of foam material 130 of perforation.

As can be seen from the figure, can comprise can be attached to the fiber on eyelashes and/or the eyebrow 132 for cosmetics P.

Shown in accompanying drawing 41-45, can obtain the dressing effect that this kind eyelashes and/or eyebrow are agglomerated into some bundles.

Because the prodger that does not have to separate eyelashes in the gap 16 on described coating part, then attached to the position spaced of eyelashes and described eyelashes are not separated, so these eyelashes can be agglomerated into some bundles with cosmetics in this gap 16 that retains a large amount of cosmetics.It is that eyelashes or eyebrow are engaged in this gap and contact with each other, and then have been applied on these eyelashes or the eyebrow as fruit cosmetic, will make these eyelashes Shu Jujie become possibility because when this gap 16 is not full of cosmetics that the eyelashes bundle coalesces together.In case the eyelashes bundle is flocked on together, will be difficult to they be separated with the part that broach is arranged of comb.

As shown in figure 42, described eyelashes and/or eyebrow can comprise the hair that some quilts between eyelashes or eyebrow bundle separate fully.

Attached to the cosmetics on each bundle eyelashes can be uneven, so some eyelashes bundles can seem longer than other.As shown in figure 43, the intrafascicular eyelashes that can contain varying number of eyelashes, so some eyelashes bundles seem longer than other eyelashes Shu Gengkuan.

Shown in Figure 43 and 44, separated eyelashes and unsegregated eyelashes bundle can alternately be arranged with regular arbitrarily.

46-49 describes the example of some other the device that can obtain the new cosmetic effect below with reference to accompanying drawings.

Especially, these devices reach out for a kind of dressing effect as shown in Figure 50, and promptly all eyelashes are all assembled, to form some bundle eyelashes bundles.

Although both comprised the zone that is suitable for separating eyelashes above-mentioned in reference to the description of accompanying drawing 1-45, and also comprised the zone that is suitable for they are assembled bunchy, yet in the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawing 46-49, preferentially obtained the effect of eyelash being adhered together.

Accompanying drawing 46 is comb part figure of 200, and this comb 200 comprises a series of teeth 201, has a spacing between these teeth, this spacing enough greatly so that a plurality of eyelashes can engage between cog.Be coated with cosmetics and be flocked on together at the described a plurality of eyelashes of between cog.For example, the spacing between the tooth of measuring between its top 201 is that described comb can contain about 10 teeth, has provided the number of this tooth by a non-limiting example near 3mm.

Accompanying drawing 47 illustrates a comb 210, and this comb 210 comprises a series of groups 211, and each group is made of two very approaching teeth 212.For example, the distance s between two adjacent groups is near 3mm.

Comb 220 shown in the accompanying drawing 48 has some groups 221, and each group comprises two teeth 222 that become the miter angle opposite tilt.Therefore this tooth has a very short distance 223 in their top end, enters into when contacting with eyelashes and/or eyebrow when the described comb that hangs with cosmetics, and the eyelashes that are between two teeth 222 in the group that provides 221 can not be bonded together easily.

For example, the spacing between the group can be near 3mm.In the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawing 46-48, the base portion of described tooth is in alignment along the longitudinal axis of the support member that connects these teeth.And different with it be that as shown in figure 49, described tooth can alternately be arranged in the relative both sides of the core of a centre.

Comb 230 shown in the figure comprises a core 231, and this core 231 has two facing surfaces.The tooth 232 that alternately is arranged in the relative both sides of core 231 is connected on two facing surfaces of this core.

For example, be parallel to spacing between the tooth 232 of two vicinities of orientation measurement of the longitudinal axis of support member certainly near 3mm.In the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawing 46-49, along between the tooth of support member or the spacing that contains between the group of tooth be well-regulated, yet these spacings need not be constant definite values.

Brush

Accompanying drawing 51 illustrates a packing and applying device 301, and this device 301 comprises a container 302 that fills cosmetics P, and a neck 303 that external screw-thread is arranged is arranged on this container 302.When not using this container 302, a closing cap 304 can be installed in the neck 303 of this container 302 with airtight this container in non-leakage mode.

This device 301 comprises an applicator with a rod member 305, and for being used as the lid 304 of a handle, the other end is one and brushes 310 at an end of this rod member 305.

As shown in the drawing, the profile of this container 302 is elongated, but adopts the profile of other shape also not exceed within the scope that the present invention asks for protection.

A polishing piece 307 that is installed in the neck 303 of described container 302 has a resilient lip.The free margins of this resilient lip defines a wiping hole 307a, and the cross section of this wiping hole 307a is circular in described embodiment.For example, the diameter of this wiping hole 307a equals or is slightly larger than the diameter of described rod member 305.

As shown in this embodiment, brush 310 has a metal core 315 that is installed in the end of rod member 305, and this core 315 is intertwined by two branch lines that are intertwined 316 and forms.Shown in accompanying drawing 52 and 53, bristle 317 is sandwiched between the described branch line 316 in a usual manner.

Bristle 317 is made by natural material or synthetic material, for example made by synthetic rubber, and these bristles 317 can optionally be gathered together.In the time of suitable, this brush 310 can comprise the dissimilar bristles that mixes.

Have injection or cast on the core, the bristle on the core of being made by thermoplastic elastic material does not especially exceed outside the scope that the present invention asks for protection.This core is optionally engaged with described rod member, and bristle rings radioactively stretches out around core.

One aspect of the present invention, brush 310 has a recess 312 at least, and for example this recess can obtain by pruning brush.Also can or evaporate described bristle 317 by fusion and obtain recess 312, this bristle is made by suitable material.

Shown in Figure 52 and 53, described recess 312 does not extend to the whole surface of revolution of brush, and this recess only extends on the sub-fraction of length of brush, and therefore the cross section of this brush in a crosscut recess plane is not circle.

As shown in this embodiment, measure around this brush axis X of 310 certainly, described recess brushes at this that to have extended angle be the scope of α, α be equivalent to described brush circumference about 1/4.This recess has extended certain length 1 brushing, this length 1 be equivalent to this brush length about 1/6.

Among the described embodiment, recess 312 is limited by two face 312a circumferential, is axially being limited by two face 312b.

Shown in Figure 53, it is radially substantially that described 312a can be.Or different with it, shown in Figure 54, they can become a non-zero angle β with a RADIAL.

Shown in Figure 52, described 312b can be basically perpendicular to described core.Or different with it, shown in Figure 55, they can be not vertical with this core, can see in the figure, and described 312b outwards disperses.

As described in this embodiment, brush 310 defines one with respect to the columniform in the form of a ring enveloping surface S of axis X.

Shown in accompanying drawing 52, the distal portions of described brush is a truncated cone.

No matter described recess 312 extends to 1/4 of the circumference that surpasses or be less than brush 310, and it does not exceed the scope that the present invention asks for protection.As a non-limiting embodiment, accompanying drawing 56 illustrates a recess 312, this recess extended described brush 310 circumference about 1/3.And the recess 312 shown in Figure 57 extended described brush 310 circumference pact half.

Bristle shorter than the length of recess outside in the length of notched region at least be the zero-sum brush and the cross section on a plane of intersecting perpendicular to core and with this recess does not exceed the scope that the present invention asks for protection for circle as this length substantially.

For example, accompanying drawing 58 illustrates the part of a brush 310, this part comprises a recess 312, if bristle all stretches out in two branches that are intertwined 316 and is clamped in this place, then the bottom of this recess 312 is limited by described core and stretches out very short bristle by some and limits alternatively.

Shown in accompanying drawing 59, such recess may extend to the whole core around brush.

Described polishing piece 307 is shaped as cosmetics is remained in this recess.

Dotted line in accompanying drawing 60 is represented the in-profile of wiping hole 307a.This dotted line C preferably intersects with described recess 312.As can be seen, be positioned at substantially within the interior line C of described wiping hole 307a at the free end of short bristle 317 between core 315 and the recess 312.Therefore, when described brush passed this polishing piece, these bristles 317 were not by wiping, so cosmetics P can be accumulated in the part of described at least recess 312.

Different with it (not shown), outline line C has a non-circular shape.

Therefore, may make cosmetics anisotropically attached on eyelashes and/or the eyebrow, particularly in extending into recess and on contacted eyelashes of cosmetics wherein and/or the eyebrow, may be attached with more cosmetics by this application.

The brush that contains a plurality of recesses is also within the scope that the present invention asks for protection.Accompanying drawing 51 and 52 is described simply in order to make, and has only shown a recess.

Shown in Figure 61, described recess 312 can be offset along the axis X of brush.In the figure, a recess can be another reflection along the recess of the axis X translation that is parallel to this brush.

Shown in Figure 62, described at least two recesses 312 are not by axial dipole field, but they are offset in a circumferential direction.

Shown in Figure 63, at least two recesses 312 can be arranged in around the circumference upper edge diametric(al) of brush 310 relative.

Shown in Figure 64, described brush also can contain three recesses 312 of 120 ° of being separated by substantially.Perhaps this brushes the recess that contains bigger quantity.

Accompanying drawing 65 has shown a recess that may extend to whole core.

In this case, if bristle is very short, then the cross section of this brush is not circular.Shown in accompanying drawing 65, the shape of this cross section is a triangle basically.

In the figure, dotted line is illustrated in the cross section of the enveloping surface of the brush outside the recess.

As can be seen, to define the bristle of the bottom of recess be different along the length of core to its end.

In the embodiment shown in accompanying drawing 66 and 67, described brush comprises at least two recesses 312, and these two recesses 312 are arranged to such an extent that be mutually symmetrical substantially with respect to a midplane K who includes the axis X of this brush.

At first, described two recesses 312 can be separated by first group of bristle at circumferencial direction.Shown in Figure 66, this first group of bristle extended about 1/2 circumference, or shown in Figure 67, this first group of bristle extended 1/3 circumference.The second, these two recesses are separated by one group of bristle that occupies smaller angle.

When observing this brush in the side or in the longitudinal cross-section, this recess that brushes has the staggered structural configuration shown in Figure 68.In the figure, these recesses 312 are illustrated that at length they can have different structures.For example, this brush can comprise the recess of at least two series, the recess in each series with respect to the recess in another series by circumferential skew; Recess in each series with respect to the recess in another series by axial dipole field; Recess in given series is by axial dipole field.That is, this series is made of the reflection that the axis direction that is parallel to brush replaces conversion each other.

The shape of these recesses can be identical.But one comprise a plurality of different quilts axially and/or the brush of the recess of circumferential offset do not exceed the scope that the present invention asks for protection yet.

Therefore, shown in Figure 69, a brush can contain a plurality of variform each other recesses.Particularly, the degree of depth of these recesses differs from one another.Similarly, the length of these recesses that is parallel to the axis X orientation measurement of brush certainly differs from one another.Spacing between them also can be different.

It is not the enveloping surface of ring-shaped cylinder face that described brush also can limit one.

Brush shown in accompanying drawing 70, this brushing tool have an enveloping surface that polygonal cross-section is arranged.Particularly, shown in accompanying drawing 71, this polygon is a square.For example, as can be seen from the figure, described brush can contain at least one recess 312, and this recess occupies certain volume in an edge of contiguous described enveloping surface.

Described brush can contain at least one recess, and this recess is positioned on the part of brush, and this part is brushed with a right section.When brush was parallel to its axis and moves, this right section was not continuous.Such embodiment is shown in accompanying drawing 72 and 73.
