Abstract

The brush is designed as wire bent into a u-shape, provided with bristles, and wound into a threaded segment to be joined to the front of a handle. The bristles are of different lengths, assembled into groups arranged around the wire. Short stretches of longer bristles (2b) alternate with longer stretches of shorter bristles (2a) forming steps (7) between them. The length of the longer bristles (2b) is reduced towards the tip, resulting in a conical outer contour.

Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf ein Mascara-Bürstchen umfassend eine Mehrzahl radial nach außen stehender, zwischen zwei verdrillten Drähten gehaltener Borsten, wobei die Spitzen der Borsten unterschiedliche Längen derart aufweisen, dass in Umfangsrichtung gesehen radial weiter außen liegende, durch die Borsten-Spitzen gebildete Hüllkurvenabschnitte und radial weiter innen liegende, durch die Borsten-Spitzen gebildete Hüllkurvenabschnitte realisiert sind.The invention is directed to a mascara brush comprising a Plural radially outward, between two twisted wires held bristles, wherein the tips of the bristles have different lengths have such that seen in the circumferential direction radially further outside lying, formed by the bristle tips envelope sections and radially inwardly lying, formed by the bristle tips envelope sections are realized.

Aus EP 1 050 236 ist ein gattungsgemäßes Bürstchen bekannt, welches in Umfangsrichtung breitere Abschnitte mit längeren Borsten und in Umfangsrichtung deutlich kürzere Abschnitte mit kürzeren Borsten aufweist, welche beide eine konvexe Hüllkurve bilden.From EP 1 050 236 a generic brush is known, which in Circumferentially wider sections with longer bristles and in the circumferential direction has significantly shorter sections with shorter bristles, which both form a convex envelope.

DE 37 35 963 C2 beschreibt ebenfalls ein Mascara-Bürstchen, in dessen Besatz in Längsrichtung verlaufende, konkave Einfräsungen eingebracht sind, sodass zwischen zwei benachbarten derartigen Einfräsungen eine Art Kamm mit geringer Erstreckung in Umfangsrichtung entsteht.DE 37 35 963 C2 also describes a mascara brush, in whose Stocking introduced in the longitudinal direction, concave milled grooves are so that between two adjacent such milled one kind Comb with a small extent in the circumferential direction arises.

Bei derartigen Mascara-Bürstchen besteht einerseits die Anforderung eines guten Produkttransfers zwischen dem Vorratsbehälter und den Wimpern und andererseits eines optimalen Auftrags unter Separation der Wimpern. Hiervon gehen auch die beiden vorstehend genannten Druckschriften aus.In such mascara brushes on the one hand there is the requirement of good product transfer between the reservoir and the eyelashes and on the other hand, an optimal order with separation of the eyelashes. This is also the basis of the two aforementioned publications.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, diese grundsätzlich bekannten Anforderungen in optimaler Weise zu lösen. The invention is based on the object, this principle known Requirements in an optimal way to solve.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die durch die längeren Borsten gebildeten Hüllkurvenabschnitte in Umfangsrichtung gesehen kürzer sind als die durch die kürzeren Borsten gebildeten Hüllkurvenabschnitte, dass die Hüllkurven konvex gebogen sind, und dass die Länge der kürzeren Borsten in Umfangsrichtung und entsprechend des Krümmungsradius der zugeordneten Hüllkurve progressiv zunimmt.This object is achieved in that the by longer bristles formed envelope sections seen in the circumferential direction shorter than the envelope sections formed by the shorter bristles, that the envelopes are convex, and that the Length of the shorter bristles in the circumferential direction and according to the Radius of curvature of the associated envelope progressively increases.

Durch die unterschiedlich langen Borsten mit einer daraus resultierenden, unterschiedlichen effektiven Steifigkeit wird, was in soweit an sich bekannt ist, einerseits ein gleichmäßiger Produktauftrag auf die Wimpern und andererseits ein Kämm- und Separiereffekt erreicht.Due to the different lengths of bristles with a resulting, different effective stiffness is what is known so far in itself is, on the one hand, a uniform product order on the eyelashes and on the other hand achieved a combing and separating effect.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße progressive Längenzunahme der kürzeren Borsten wird der Auftragsvorgang optimiert, wenn die Benutzerin des Bürstchens während des Auftrags das Bürstchen dreht, wobei gleichzeitig auch der sogenannte curl-Effekt begünstigt wird, der zu einer ansprechenden Krümmung der Wimpern führt.By the inventive progressive increase in length of the shorter Bristles will optimize the order process when the user of the Brush during the job, the brush turns, while at the same time also the so-called curl effect is favored, which leads to an appealing Curvature of the eyelashes leads.

In weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass zwischen den Hüllkurvenabschnitten mit längeren und kürzeren Borsten ein stufenartiger Übergangsbereich ausgebildet ist.In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that between the Envelope sections with longer and shorter bristles one step Transition region is formed.

Insbesondere ist eine Mehrzahl, vorzugsweise drei, von Hüllkurvenabschnitten mit längeren und kürzeren Borsten vorgesehen.In particular, a plurality, preferably three, of envelope sections provided with longer and shorter bristles.

Das freie Ende des Borsten-Besatzes kann sich in axialer Richtung in vorteilhafter Weise konisch verjüngen. The free end of the bristle trim can be in the axial direction in an advantageous Taper conically way.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung an Hand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung näher beschrieben. Dabei zeigen:

Fig. 1
einen Schnitt durch den Bereich des Besatzes eines erfindungsgemäßen Mascara-Bürstchens und
Fig. 2
eine Ansicht A-C des Besatzes.
The invention will be described with reference to a preferred embodiment in conjunction with the drawings. Showing:
Fig. 1
a section through the region of the trim of a mascara brush according to the invention and
Fig. 2
a view AC of the stocking.

Ein in der Zeichnung dargestelltes Mascara-Bürstchen umfasst eine Seele 1 gebildet aus einem U-förmig gebogenen Draht, wobei die beiden Drahtabschnitte beiderseits der Biegung unter Festlegung von Borsten 2 miteinander verdrillt sind. Hierdurch wird über eine Länge L ein Besatz ausgebildet, wobei der frei bleibende Teil 3 der Seele 1 einen Stiel ausbildet.An illustrated in the drawing mascara brush comprises a soul. 1 formed from a U-shaped bent wire, the two wire sections on either side of the bend, fixing bristles 2 together twisted. As a result, a stocking is formed over a length L, wherein the remaining part 3 of the soul 1 forms a stem.

Die Borsten 2 sind, wie aus Fig. 1 deutlich wird, so beschnitten, dass längere und kürzere Borsten 2a bzw. 2b entstehen, deren Spitzen 4 konvexe Hüllkurvenabschnitte 5 bzw. 6 ausbilden.The bristles 2 are, as is clear from Fig. 1, so cropped that longer and shorter bristles 2a and 2b are formed, the tips 4 convex Form envelope sections 5 and 6, respectively.

Die Hüllkurvenabschnitte 5 der längeren Borsten 2a sind in Umfangsrichtung kürzer, d. h. sie erstrecken sich über einen kleineren Winkelbereich, als die Hüllkurvenabschnitte 6 der kürzeren Borsten 2b. Die Hüllkurvenabschnitte 5 gehen über Stufen 7 in die Hüllkurvenabschnitte 6 über. Im Ausführungsbeispiel sind jeweils drei Hüllkurvenabschnitte 5 gebildet durch längere Borsten 2a und drei Hüllkurvenabschnitte 6 gebildet durch kürzere Borsten 2b vorgesehen. Je ein Hüllkurvenabschnitt 5 und ein Hüllkurvenabschnitt 6 erstrecken sich zusammen über 120°, wobei beispielsweise die Breite der Hüllkurvenabschnitte 5 bestehend aus längeren Borsten 2a bei ca. 3 mm liegen kann. The envelope sections 5 of the longer bristles 2a are in the circumferential direction shorter, d. H. they extend over a smaller angular range, as the envelope sections 6 of the shorter bristles 2b. The envelope sections 5 go over stages 7 in the envelope sections 6. In the embodiment are each three envelope sections 5 formed by longer bristles 2a and three envelope sections 6 formed by shorter Bristles 2b provided. Depending on an envelope section 5 and an envelope section 6 extend together over 120 °, for example, the Width of the envelope sections 5 consisting of longer bristles 2a at can be about 3 mm.

Die Länge der kürzeren Borsten 2b bzw. der Krümmungsradius der Hüllkurvenabschnitte 6 nimmt ausgehend von einer ersten Abstufung 7 bis zur nächstfolgenden Abstufung 7 in Richtung des Pfeils P progressiv zu.The length of the shorter bristles 2b or the radius of curvature of the envelope sections 6 takes from a first gradation 7 to next step 7 in the direction of the arrow P progressive.

Wie aus Fig. 2 zu erkennen ist, verläuft das freie Ende 8 des Besatzes sich konisch verjüngend.As can be seen from Fig. 2, the free end 8 of the trimming runs conically tapered.
