Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a brush used for eyelash make-up, more precisely a brush impregnated with a certain product which is subsequently applied to the eyelashes so that these last receive a mascara that improves their appearance aesthetic.
  • the present invention provides a brush allowing the mascara to be applied under conditions optimal, more precisely by means of a single eyelash application, based on structural features that define a better absorption of the makeup product used.
  • the classic brushes used for the application of mascara to the eyelashes is structured traditionally by means of tufts of fibers relatively long, helically arranged around a core or support constituted by a wire twisted metal.
  • these brushes are manufactured with, in general, relatively ductile fibers, suitable for making up something as delicate as the lashes, usually nylon, in its different variants, and take advantage of the property moisture absorption of this material.
  • the use of the brush is to immerse it in a container containing the make-up product and passing it on through a drainer, the latter having to leave the appropriate quantity of product, distributed so uniform on the brush, to allow application also uniform of said product on the eyelashes.
  • this operation does not guarantee correct distribution of the product over the entire brush, since, due to the proximity of the fibers, as well as their flexibility, said fibers are bend towards the axis of the brush, producing thus a concentration of the product within said brush greater than the quantity of product retained by the fibers in the part of said fibers which enters contact with eyelashes.
  • the use of fibers which have longitudinal slots on their surface parallel to the axis of said fibers aims to ensure that the product fills these slots, thus constituting a sort of "warehouse” to retain the product in the area near the free end tufts, where the fibers come into contact with the eyelashes of the user.
  • the brush object of the present invention solves, quite satisfactorily the problem above by allowing application of the product in optimal conditions and, consequently, in to obtain eyelash makeup in one single application.
  • the brush above from a structure similar to that of a conventional brush, that is to say by being structured on the basis of tufts of fibers arranged helically around a core or support formed by a twisted wire, centers its characteristics that said fibers consist of a combination of natural fibers plastic and vegetable fibers, preferably cotton, linen or similar, correctly distributed.
  • plastic fibers used can be any of those commonly used for conventional brushes: smooth, full, hollow outer surface, the surface exterior with longitudinal slots, but preferably, their diameter should be of the order of 0.17 mm, while vegetable fibers, preferably made of cotton, linen or similar, have a maximum diameter of around 0.6 mm and can consist of one or more several tips.
  • the proportion of vegetable fibers in the general context of the brush i.e. by based on the total number of fibers, can be understood between 10 and 50%.
  • the metal wire constituting the soul of the brush and the fiber fastener must also preferably have a diameter between 0.50 and 0.75 mm and the pitch of the helicoid formed by the fibers is between 1 and 2 mm.
  • the brush for applying mascara on the eyelashes proposed by the invention consists of from a wire element 1, of appropriate length, with a diameter between 0.5 and 0.75 mm, folded over itself in the middle 2, thus defining a groove 3 into which the tufts of fibers, i.e. a set of 4 tufts of fibers plastic, for example nylon, and a set of tufts 5 of vegetable fibers, for example cotton, the first having a diameter of 0.17 mm and the second, a diameter of 0.6 mm.
  • fibers 4 of nature plastic can be solid or hollow and have a smooth or grooved surface, while the fibers 5 plants can be structured with one or several tips.
  • the proportion of fibers 50% i.e. there is a tuft of vegetable fibers 5 for a tuft of fibers plastics 4
  • this proportion can be reduced, if necessary, until the percentage of vegetable fibers represents, at a minimum, 10%.
  • the pitch of the helicoid defined by tufts of fibers 4-5, when twisting yarn 1, may have a tail between 1 and 2 mm.
