Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a mascara brush comprising a plurality of bristles held between two twisted wire sections, the bristles being of different lengths by trimming.
  • Such mascara brushes have to have good transfer properties in order to transfer the mascara liquid from a storage container to the user's eyelashes, on the other hand, advantageous application properties have to be provided in order to distribute the transferred mascara liquid evenly on the eyelashes and, finally, with the order process associated with a separation of the eyelashes to prevent sticking together.
  • the WO 96/311 describes a mascara brush which has sectors with differently dense bristles with respect to its longitudinal axis, which is obtained by the fact that the compartment box, from which the bristles are taken during the twisting, is filled with different densities with bristles.
  • EP 1 129 641 A2 It is known to process bristles of different material seen in the longitudinal direction of the brush with different density.
  • the EP 0 832 580 A1 describes a mascara brush, in which in a first cutting a crowned, cigar-like basic shape is produced and then by a second cutting operation in the longitudinal direction milling.
  • EP 1 000 566 A2 is a mascara brush known whose lateral surface is cut in cross section substantially square.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a mascara brush, which is optimally adapted to the basic requirements of such a brush as well as the subjective wishes of the consumer.
  • the tips of the shorter bristles also lie on a parallel to the twisted wire sections.
  • a brush produced by a conventional manufacturing technique is therefore not so trimmed in the second cutting process that the bristles are completely cut or shortened in certain zones, as seen in the circumferential direction or in the longitudinal direction, but only a thinning cut is made such that in each case only a portion of the bristles is shortened, wherein the longer bristles form a largely uniform first outer envelope due to their spreading away from the wire core with their tips.
  • the second, inner envelope of the shorter bristles may be configured to alternate in relatively close sequence with trimmed and uncut portions, i. H. the envelope has a comb-like structure.
  • the width of the trimmed at the second section ranges between 0.6 and 2.8 mm, in particular 1.2 mm, and the width of the uncut areas between 0.4 and 3 mm, in particular at 0.8 mm.
  • the second, inner envelope of the shorter bristles may extend only over a central portion of the brush or alternatively over both end portions. Furthermore, it is possible that the second cut is applied only on one side of the brush.
  • the second, inner envelope may be rectangular or triangular in cross-section, wherein the central longitudinal axis of the envelope coincide with the twisted wire sections or may be offset therefrom.
  • the first outer envelope may have all known geometries, ie in particular cylindrical, conical, spherical, concave or a combination of these basic shapes.
  • a conventional mascara brush 1 is shown in which a plurality of bristles 2 between two twisted wire sections 3, 4 is fixed. By a first cut, the bristles 2 are cut so that their tips form a first cylindrical outer envelope 5, which tapers towards the outer end 6 out.
  • a second cut takes place such that the tips of the shortened by such a second cut bristles on a second, inner envelope 7, wherein the tips 8 of the shorter bristles 9 lie on an orthogonal, which extends at a distance A to the central longitudinal axis of the brush.
  • the second section extends over the entire length of the brush 1, in the embodiment according to Fig. 3 via a central portion 10 and in the embodiment according to Fig. 4 over outer sections 11 and 12.
  • the first brush is rotated after creation of the first cutting plane by 120 °, trimmed again flat and again rotated by 120 ° and cropped flat.
  • the embodiment according to Fig. 11 is a modification of the embodiment according to Fig. 10 in which the longer bristles do not, as in Fig. 8 to 10 cylindrical, but are truncated in cross section square.
  • the outer envelope 5 is triangular in cross-section and the inner envelope 7 is also truncated triangular, with the tips of the two triangles facing in opposite directions.
  • FIGS. 14 to 22 possible shapes for the outer envelope 5 are shown, namely in Fig. 14 total conical, in Fig. 15 overall cylindrical, in Fig. 16 convex, convex, in Fig. 17 a conical combined with a convex-convex course, in Fig. 18 a cylindrical course combined with a conical end section, in Fig. 19 an opposite to the soul formed by the twisted wires 3, 4 asymmetric course, down straight and above convex, convex, in Fig. 20 a concave course, in Fig. 21 a cylindrical course of the inner envelope 7 and at a distance thereof a cylindrical course of the outer envelope 5, each with a conical end portion and Fig. 22 a curved one Course of the twisted wires 3, 4 and a tapered end portion.
