Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a mascara brush comprising a A plurality of bristles held between two twisted wire sections, the bristles have different lengths due to trimming.
  • Such mascara brushes must have good transfer properties have to transfer the mascara liquid from a reservoir to the To transfer the user's eyelashes, on the other hand, must be advantageous Application properties can be given to the transferred mascara liquid to spread evenly on the eyelashes, and ultimately must the application process involves a separation of the eyelashes in order to to prevent sticking together.
  • US 6 260 558 B1 describes a manufacturing process for a mascara brush, with which a brush is created, which in different Sectors have bristles of different lengths. This too Manufacturing process is extremely complex and economical Not suitable for mass production.
  • WO 96/311 describes a mascara brush, which with regard to its Longitudinal axis has sectors with different density bristles, what is obtained in that the compartment from which the bristles at Twisting can be removed, with different densities of bristles is.
  • EP 1 129 641 A2 discloses bristles of different materials seen in the longitudinal direction of the brush with different density to process.
  • EP 0 832 580 A1 describes a mascara brush in which in a spherical, cigar-like basic shape is produced in a first cutting process and then by a second cutting process in the longitudinal direction running millings.
  • the object of the invention to create a mascara brush that optimally matches the Basic requirements of such a brush as well as the subjective ones Consumer wishes is customizable.
  • the brush a first produced in a first cutting process after twisting Has outer surface of defined geometry, this outer surface is formed by the tips of a first number of longer bristles, part of these bristles being trimmed by a second cutting operation so that a plurality of bristles of short length are formed whose tips form a second envelope of defined geometry, the tips of the shorter bristles each spaced towards one another the twisted wire sections orthogonal with respect to this twisted wire sections.
  • the tips of the shorter bristles also each lie on a parallel to the twisted wire sections.
  • the brush produced in the second cutting process is not so trimmed, that the bristles in certain zones, be it seen circumferentially or in the longitudinal direction, be completely cut off or shortened, but only a thinning cut is made in such a way that only part of the bristles is cut, the longer ones Bristles due to their spreading away from the wire soul with theirs Tips form a largely uniform outer envelope.
  • the envelope of the shorter bristles can preferably be designed in this way be that circumcised and uncircumcised in relatively close succession Alternate areas, d. H. the envelope has a comb-like shape Structure on.
  • the width of the one trimmed in the second cut is favorably located Ranges between 0.6 and 2.8 mm, in particular at 1.2 mm, and the width of the untrimmed areas between 0.4 and 3 mm, especially at 0.8 mm.
  • the envelope of the shorter bristles can only be over a central area of the brush or alternatively extend over both end regions. It is also possible that the second cut only on one side of the Brush is attached.
  • the inner envelope can be rectangular or triangular in cross section be rounded, the central longitudinal axis of the envelope with the twisted wire sections collapse or offset against them can be.
  • the outer envelope curve can have all known geometries, that is to say in particular cylindrical, conical, spherical, concave or a combination of these Basic forms.
  • a conventional mascara brush 1 is shown, in which a plurality of bristles 2 between two twisted wire sections 3, 4 is set. By a first cut, the bristles are 2nd trimmed so that their tips have a cylindrical envelope 5 form, which tapers towards the outer end 6.
  • a second cut is made in such a way that the tips of the by a Such a second cut shortened bristles on a second, inner one Envelope 7 lie, the tips 8 of the shorter bristles 9 on one Orthogonal, which are at a distance A to the central longitudinal axis of the Brush runs.
  • the second cut extends over the entire length of the brush 1, in the embodiment according to FIG. 3 via a central section 10 and in the embodiment according to FIG. 4 via external sections 11 and 12.
  • 5 to 7 is for the second Cut provided only a single cutting plane, which accordingly forms second, inner envelope 7 and a different distance A. to the targets of the brush formed by the twisted wires 3, 4 having.
  • the first brush is created of the first cutting plane rotated by 120 °, trimmed again flat and again turned by 120 ° and trimmed flat.
  • the brush is after each Cut rotated 90 ° so that a square cross section of the inner Envelope 7 is created.
  • the outer envelope curve 5 is in cross section triangular and the inner envelope 7 also cut triangular, with the tips of the two triangles in opposite directions point.
  • FIG. 14 to 22 show possible shapes for the outer envelope 7, namely, tapering overall in FIG. 14, overall in FIG. 15 cylindrical, convex in FIG. 16, a conical combination in FIG. 17 with a spherical-convex course, in Fig. 18 a cylindrical Course combined with a conical end section, in Fig. 19 opposite the core formed by the twisted wires 3, 4 more asymmetrical Course, straight at the bottom and convex at the top, convex, in Fig. 20 a concave Course, in Fig. 21 a cylindrical course of the inner envelope 7 and at a distance from it a cylindrical profile of the outer envelope 5 each with a conical end section and FIG. 22 a curved one Course of the twisted wires 3, 4 and a tapered End portion.
