Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a mascara brush having a plurality of bristles projecting radially outward from an elongated core, the bristles having different lengths such that a first number of longer bristles having their tips have an outer envelope and a second number of shorter bristles make an inner envelope with their tips.
  • Such mascara brushes are known from US 2003/0172495 A1 . DE 100 03 858 A1 . DE 44 46 521 A1 . DE 102 11 780 A1 . US 62 89 902 . US 62 79 503 and US 62 60 558 ,
  • bristles of different lengths have been realized either by adding more or less randomly distributed bristles of different lengths during the manufacturing process of the brush before twisting the wires, or that the longer bristles not only in the sense of a homogenization, but specifically to produce a specific External geometry were cut with different bristle lengths in the finished brush, whereby, for example, a conical configuration of the entire brush or the tip was reached or brushes with dents in the lateral surface.
  • the shorter bristles either have no defined envelope geometry or a cylindrical configuration.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a mascara brush whose shorter bristles seen in the longitudinal direction of the brush have different application properties.
  • the eyelashes can be highlighted to different degrees, for example, in the middle area of the eyelid or in outer areas of the eyelid by differently applied mascara volumes due to the bristles of different length.
  • the tip configuration can provide the helix of the twisted wires or even tip distribution can be achieved by e.g. Hollow fibers, cross fibers, so-called EOS fibers or the like can be used.
  • the invention also relates to a method for producing a twisted brush, wherein the bristles are first positioned between the legs of a U-shaped, later forming the soul wire and formed from a flat configuration by twisting the U-legs to a helix and fixed, wherein the method according to the invention is characterized in that the still flat bristles are pre-fixed between the U-legs, so that on one side of the wire sections shorter bristle ends and on the other side longer bristle ends come to lie, in which case at least the shorter bristle ends provided with an outline cut and then the U-legs are twisted.
  • the bristles desirably have a Shore A hardness of 5 to 150. They may be cylindrical or conical. Every single bristle can have one Envelope of conveniently 0.05 to 0.6 mm, wherein the bristle cross section may be round or out of round within this envelope and may also vary in the longitudinal direction.
  • the mascara brush 1 shown in the drawing comprise a core 2, which is formed by a hairpin-shaped bent wire 5, wherein the resulting U-legs or wire sections 3, 4 are twisted.
  • bristles are fixed, and that longer bristles 6 and shorter bristles 7, which protrude approximately radially outwards, in particular in the form of bristle bundles.
  • the tips 8 of the longer bristles 6 form an outer envelope 9, and the tips 10 of the shorter bristles 7 form an at least partially concave inner envelope 11.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates the production of a mascara brush 1 according to the invention.
  • a wire 5 is bent in a manner known per se U-shaped in the manner of a hairpin, so that two mutually parallel wire sections 3, 4 arise. Between them, a plurality of bristles, of which only a few are represented representatively, parallel to each other and perpendicular to the wire sections 3, 4 so asymmetrically inserted that on the one hand, in Fig. 4 down, longer bristles 6 and the other side , in Fig. 4 up, shorter bristles 7 protrude.
  • the short bristles or bristle portions 7 are prefixed prior to twisting by pressing the wire sections 3, 4 against each other or engaging a holding device and then trimming according to a V-shaped cut line 14, whereby after twisting the ends 10 of the shorter bristles 7 lie on a concave envelope.

Claims (5)

  5. Procédé de fabrication d'une brosse à mascara selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 4, dans lequel les poils sont tout d'abord positionnés entre les branches d'un fil de fer en forme de U, qui formera ultérieurement l'âme, puis, à partir d'une configuration plane, sont mis en forme pour obtenir une hélice et fixés en entremêlant les branches du U, caractérisé en ce que les poils encore à plat sont préfixés entre les branches du U, de sorte que, du un côté des tronçons de fil de fer, se trouvent des extrémités de poils plus courtes et, de l'autre côté, des extrémités de poils plus longues, un découpage de contour étant ensuite effectué au moins sur les extrémités de poils plus courtes et les branches du U étant entremêlées seulement après.
