Definitions
- the present invention relates, in general, to mascara brushes and, more particularly, to a mascara brush in which a bristle part for applying mascara to eyelashes and a comb part for tidying the eyelashes are formed around the brush body through a double injection molding process, thus simplifying manufacturing equipment and manufacturing and assembling processes, thereby reducing production costs and enhancing workability and productivity.
- Background Art
- a mascara applicator is used to apply various colors of mascara, which is one kind of cosmetic for women, to eyelashes to beautify the eyes.
- a mascara applicator includes a container, which contains mascara therein, and a handle, which is used when opening or closing the container.
- the mascara applicator further includes a brush bar, which extends from the handle downwards, and a brush, which is provided on the brush bar.
- the mascara is applied to the brush in a process of coupling and removing the handle to and from the container.
- the mascara brush can conduct various functions, for example, a vo- lumizing function (an effect of making eyelashes appear abundant), a curling function (an effect of curling the ends of the eyelashes upwards), a lash lengthening function (an effect of making the eyelashes appear long) and a cleaning function (an effect of preventing the eyelashes from aggregating), according to the length and shape of bristles of the mascara brush.
- a vo- lumizing function an effect of making eyelashes appear abundant
- a curling function an effect of curling the ends of the eyelashes upwards
- a lash lengthening function an effect of making the eyelashes appear long
- a cleaning function an effect of preventing the eyelashes from aggregating
- mascara brushes are manufactured through a process in which brush bristles having predetermined lengths are placed between two strands of wire and the wires are twisted several times such that the cross-section thereof has various shapes, for example, a circular shape, a triangular shape or a sectorial shape, based on the center axis of the wires. According to the shape of the cross-section of the brush, it can exhibit a volumizing, curling, lash lengthening or cleaning effect.
- Such a mascara brush must have a superior combing effect to evenly apply mascara, which has a relatively high viscosity, to eyelashes and prevent the eyelashes from becoming tangled or adhered to each other by the mascara.
- mascara which has a relatively high viscosity
- the bristles are arranged in a spiral shape by twisting the wires, a relatively large amount of mascara can be applied between the bristles, so that the effect of volumizing the eyelashes is ensured.
- the eyelashes may be tangled or adhered to each other.
- a separate eyelash tidying device is required to tidy the eyelashes, or, alternatively, a user may have to reapply mascara after removing the originally applied mascara.
- FIG. 1 is an exploded front view showing a conventional mascara brush having an applying brush unit and a tidying brush unit.
- FIG. 2 is a front view showing another conventional mascara brush.
- the mascara brush includes the applying brush unit 3, which is a means for applying mascara to eyelashes.
- the applying brush unit 3 bristles 31, each of which has a predetermined length, are perpendicularly interposed between parts of a wire, which is bent at the intermediate position thereof and is thus folded in half. Thereafter, the folded parts of the wire are twisted a predetermined number of times. Then, the bristles 31 are radially fastened to the wire shaft 21, which is formed by twisting the wire.
- the applying brush unit 3 has a cut part, which is formed by cutting some of the bristles 31, which are perpendicularly fastened to one side of the wire shaft 21.
- the applying brush unit 3, which is manufactured through the above-mentioned process, is integrally coupled to the lower end of a brush body.
- the tidying brush unit 4 is a means for tidying the eyelashes, to which mascara is applied by the applying brush unit 3.
- the tidying brush unit 4 includes a comb 42, which protrudes outwards from a support member 41.
- the support member 41 serves to fasten the comb 42 to the cut part 32 of the applying brush 3, and the circumference thereof is equal to that of the brush body. Furthermore, the length of the support member 41 is equal to or slightly greater than the length of the wire shaft 21, which protrudes from the lower end of the brush body, such that the support member 41 can be integrally coupled to the applying brush unit 3.
- the support member 41 has in the upper end thereof an insert hole 44, through which the wire shaft 21 is inserted so as to be integrally coupled to the support member 41.
- An insert seat 43 is formed in the lower end of the support member 41, so that the lower end of the wire shaft 21 is inserted into and fastened to the insert seat 43 of the support member 41.
- the support member 41 must be disposed on the cut part 32 of the applying brush unit 3, the upper end and the lower end of the support member 41, having the insert hole 44 and the insert seat 43, are supported by a side bar 45.
- the support member 41 has a U shape, and the cross-section thereof has a sectorial shape corresponding to the shape of the cut part 32.
- the comb 42 perpendicularly protrudes from the circumferential outer surface of the side bar 45 of the support member 41 to thus form a single comb, and serves to comb the eyelashes.
- the comb 42 is arranged linearly and perpendicularly extends from the side bar 45 to lengths corresponding to the lengths to which the bristles 31 protrudes from the wire shaft 21 of the applying brush unit 3.
- the teeth of the comb 42 are made of synthetic resin, which is the same material of the support member 41, and each comb tooth is thicker and harder than each bristle 31 of the applying brush unit 3.
- the teeth of the comb 42, which are linearly arranged, are spaced apart from each other at regular intervals. Therefore, the tidying brush unit 4 has a shape similar to that of a typical straight comb.
- the applying brush unit 3 and the tidying brush unit 4 are manufactured through separate processes and are subsequently assembled with each other. Therefore, labor and equipment are required to conduct the additional assembly process, thus incurring additional costs.
- the manufacture of the applying brush unit 3 requires a complex manufacturing process, in which a large number of bristles having predetermined lengths is held between parts of the wire and the wire is thereafter twisted in a spiral shape such that the bristles 31 are radially fastened to the wire shaft 21.
- the tidying brush unit 4 is manufactured through a separate injection molding process, separate molding equipment is required. Therefore, the conventional mascara brush has problems of increased production costs and reduced productivity, attributable to the complex production line. Disclosure of Invention
