Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mascara brush for applying mascara to the eyelashes.
  • Such brushes are exposed to a variety of requirements. They should not only be able to apply mascara as efficiently as possible, that is, if possible in one go, without having to immerse the mascara brush several times. Rather, they should also make it possible to give the eyelashes a swing, in the sense of a curve upwards (on the upper song) or down (on the lower song) - a treatment of the eyelashes, which is referred to as "curling".
  • JP2003-79427 discloses different bristle shapes.
  • US2008 / 0283078A1 discloses a high density bristle stocking.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a mascara brush, which is particularly suitable for curling and Extending / Lengthening.
  • the bristle stocking comprises bristles which consist of a bristle trunk and an eyelash retention member adjoining the bristle so that a bristle is provided with an eyelash retention member in the integral (and usually integrally formed).
  • This eyelash retaining member is configured as a holding projection which projects beyond the surface of the bristle stem lying proximally below it in the direction of the bristle longitudinal axis transversely to the direction of the bristle longitudinal axis, preferably along the entire length of the bristle trunk from its base to the point where the eyelash retention organ begins.
  • a holding groove which is incorporated into the distal end of the bristle and is open towards the distal end and the flanks of the bristle, is used.
  • the eyelash retaining member in the form of the retaining projection is designed as a thickening on an otherwise usually conventional, slender bristle, ie a bristle having a substantially rod-like shape.
  • This thickening is preferably located directly at the distal end of the bristle or in the upper third of the bristle, which adjoins the distal end of the bristle.
  • a conventional, slender bristle is understood to mean a rod-like structure which is elongated in terms of its geometry and whose largest average diameter is preferably smaller by at least a factor of 10 than its length.
  • the eyelashes are bent, as they are held in a certain way in the spaces between the bristles by the adhesive effect of the mascara mass.
  • the greater the deflection imposed on the eyelashes the more the eyelashes tend to overcome the adhesive action of the mascara mass and slip off the bristles, ie, slide along the bristles toward the distal end thereof. Once there, the eyelashes "snap" out of the bristle field and can no longer be curled.
  • the eyelash retainer is designed to provide a true positive fit to an eyelash that is in contact with it, in the sense that the eyelash engages a surface of the eyelash retainer that is at least substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bristle which even in the direction of the (potential) movement of the eyelash forms a local depression in which the eyelash lays, and which therefore has been moved by the forces that currently attack the eyelash and have moved it so far approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bristle practically can not be overcome.
  • the eyelash retainer does not necessarily have to be designed to have the said vertical surface or valley - taking into account the holding action of the mascara mass accumulating in the area of the eyelash retention organ, then one finds that quite a less harsh obstacle is sufficient. This is because it is primarily important that the eyelash is imposed a noticeable change in direction, which is sufficient together with the holding action of the mascara mass to prevent further slipping of the eyelash on the bristle.
  • a mere localized constriction or groove in a bristle is not a suitable eyelash retention means, since such a constriction or groove is filled with mascara mass during application and therefore from one bristle to the outside, to the distal End sliding eyelash can be easily overcome.
  • bristles which are only curved or angled in the region of its distal end, without a stabilizing thickening is provided (or which at least is taken away from the fact that the diameter of the bristle towards its distal end decreases more and more ), not a bristle with an eyelash retaining member according to the invention.
  • the respective eyelash retaining member consists of at least one hook-like extension which protrudes from the bristle trunk. It is clear that such a hook-like extension, in which a lash sliding outwards along the bristle trunk, so to speak, "inserts" into it, represents a particularly effective eyelash retaining element.
  • the preferred eyelash retainer has a surface proximally inclined at least locally toward the center of the bristle, such that it tends to slide toward the bristle center toward the bristle center and toward the bristle distal end of the bristle capture what the eyelash tends to sideways bypass the eyelash retainer.
  • the respective eyelash retaining member consists of a spherical, lenticular, disk-shaped or mushroom cap-shaped thickening and is preferably rotationally symmetrical to the longitudinal axis of the bristle.
  • Such thickening can be easily produced, for example when the bristle is produced by injection molding.
  • the embodiment of the spherical thickening is an example of the already mentioned above fact that - at least in conjunction with the holding effect of the mascara mass - "stop" an eyelash and a less rugged surface may be sufficient as a substantially perpendicular to the bristle longitudinal axis surface ,
  • the eyelash retaining member has distally a surface which is inclined inwardly from the uppermost portion of the eyelash retaining member to the edges of the eyelash retaining member toward the center of the mascara brush, such that this surface tends to have lashes resting thereon to let slip with the or the adjacent bristles formed intermediate space.
  • the outer facing surface of the eyelash retaining member is thus designed so that it directs the eyelashes at the first application of the mascara brush to the eyelash in the spaces between the bristles.
  • the positioning and the repeat of the juxtaposed bristle rows of bristles arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction are selected so that in each case a bristle of a first row of bristles is positioned at the height of a meridian (preferably seen in the longitudinal direction center) through the free space that the eyelash holding organs of two juxtaposed bristles of the adjacent row of bristles release between them.
  • the eyelash retaining members have such a large maximum extent in the direction transverse to the circumferential direction that the eyelash holding members of the bristles of said first row of bristles - projected in the circumferential direction - overlap with the eyelash retaining members of the two nearest bristles of said second row of bristles. In this way it is ensured that between two rows of bristles - seen from the outside - no radially in the radial direction completely continuous along the circumferential direction circular space remains. Instead, such a free space usually remains only between the bristle trunks, below the itself essentially as a labyrinth surface of the brush.

  • FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the invention.
  • the bristle body 1 of a mascara brush consists of a lug 2 for connecting the bristle body with the handle and of the rod-shaped bristle carrier 3. Only together with the stem to be attached to the neck 2 of the bristle body forms a complete mascara brush.
  • the mascara brush of this embodiment has a pronounced longitudinal axis L, which also represents the longitudinal axis of the bristle field at the same time.
  • the bristle field can be described as cylindrical or roller-shaped / cone-shaped (the latter not shown here).
  • the individual bristles 4 protrude outwardly from the bristle carrier 3 substantially in the vertical direction and together form the bristle facing or the bristle field 5. Their extreme end, which is at a maximum distance from the bristle carrier 3, is referred to as the distal end. Their end forming the foot area, with which they are attached to the bristle carrier 3, is referred to as the proximal end.
  • each bristle has a bristle trunk 6, the contour of which largely corresponds to the contour of a conventional bristle, but preferably has a cylindrical cross section with a constant over the length of diameter.
  • the cross section of this trunk is round in the present embodiments, but may, for. B. also be elliptical or polygonal.
  • the trunk diameter is at least eight times smaller than the length of the trunk in the case of the present embodiment.
  • the bristle field 5 a number of juxtaposed rows of bristles in the longitudinal direction. These consist of bristles in which the bristle trunk 6 carries an eyelash retaining member 7 at its distal end.
  • This eyelash retaining member 7 here consists of an extension designed in the manner of a barb, whose longitudinal axis at the outermost end of the barb forms an angle ⁇ of less than 70 °, better still less than 50 °, with the longitudinal axis of the bristle trunk, cf.
  • Figures 1b and in particular 1e The shape of the eyelash retaining member for the present embodiment can be described so that the eyelash retaining member 7 consists of two opposite hook-like extensions 8 of the type described, which protrude laterally from the bristle trunk 6.
  • the eyelash retaining member 7 in the present case, the shape of an arrow whose arrowhead is in line with the longitudinal axis of the bristle and the distal end of the bristle forms, while the "broad side" of the arrow is oriented proximally, that is facing the bristle trunk is.
  • An eyelash which, for example, because the mascara brush is rotated for the purpose of curling, moves in the vicinity of the bristle trunk 6 towards its distal end, slips under the corresponding hook-like extension 8 and is prevented by this, from the Slip out the bristle field 5.
  • each eyelash retaining member 7 designed in the manner of a barb has a surface distally, ie on its outwardly facing side, which is inclined substantially inwardly from the region of the eyelash retaining member 7 above the center of the bristle to the edges of the eyelash retaining member. This inclination is made to have a tendency to slide overlying eyelashes in the space formed together with the adjacent bristle or eyelash retainer.
  • the bristles are arranged so that in each case rows of longitudinally successive bristles result and at the same time rows of circumferentially consecutive bristles.
  • a row of bristles and their bristle rows adjacent to both sides are arranged to form a corresponding repeat so that the rows have the same repeat and are substantially offset from each other by half a repeat.
  • the bristles of the two adjacent rows of bristles are in each case in front of the gap which the eyelash retaining members of adjacent bristles of the middle bristle row leave between each other, that is, the bristles of the two adjacent rows of bristles are each at the level of a meridian (with respect to the bristle longitudinal axis) positioned centrally through the space between the eyelash retention members adjacent bristles of the middle bristle row goes.
  • the maximum extent of the eyelash retaining members in the longitudinal direction symbolized by the arrow Q is so great that in each case one eyelash retaining member overlaps the two retaining members of the adjacent row closest to it, if they are projected onto one another in the circumferential direction.
  • each eyelash located in the space between the bristle trunks 6 of adjacent bristle rows (as indicated by the dashed line W) is alternately overlapped from left and right by the hook-like extensions 8 of the respective eyelash restraining members and thus securely within the bristle field 5 withheld.
  • Eyelash retaining members 7 functionally shaped like those of FIGS. 1a to 1d shown, thus unfold their function by real positive connection.
  • the mascara brush can be used flexibly - depending on whether a curling is to be performed or if the eyelashes, for example, only to be combed, the user turns the mascara brush so that either the conventional bristles or with the eyelash retention organs 7 bristles equipped with the eyelashes interact.
  • FIGS. 2a to 2d show a second embodiment, with the exception of what follows the first embodiment fully corresponds, so that the above applies accordingly.
  • the two embodiments differ by the distance that the individual rows of bristles equipped with the eyelash retaining members 7 have. While in the first embodiment four rows of longitudinally successively arranged bristles with eyelash retaining members "cover" an angle W of 90 °, in the second embodiment four such rows only cover an angle of 60 °. For this, however, two opposite sections of the bristle field are provided instead of conventional bristles with such bristles having eyelash retaining members.
  • FIGS. 3a to 3d reveal a third example.
  • this third example essentially corresponds to the two first-mentioned exemplary embodiments, so that what is said there also applies to this example, unless otherwise stated in the following description.
  • the two hook-like extensions 8 are designed so that they are relatively easy to bend elastically in the direction of the lateral end of the bristle while still remaining deflected in the distal direction oppose a sufficiently large resistance, so that their function as eyelash retaining member 7 is not called into question.
  • a longitudinal row of bristles having eyelash retention members 7 is flanked on both sides by a longitudinal row of conventional bristles.
  • the repeat is selected so that each bristle is at the same height seen in the circumferential direction as one of the hook-like extensions 8.
  • the repeat is designed so that a bristle circumferentially aligned with the bristle trunk 6 (one of the bristles provided with the eyelash retention members 7), that is, on the meridian defined by this bristle trunk 6, while the next conventional longitudinal bristle is in alignment with the clearance between the eyelash retention members of two adjacent bristles.
  • eyelash retention organs in this example are designed so that they have a depot for the mascara mass on their distal surface.
  • the two hook-like projections 8 are designed so that they form where they meet, namely in the vicinity of the bristle longitudinal axis 6, a preferably open in the circumferential direction cavity 9 in which mascara mass can attach without pulling out of the applicator to be stripped from the reservoir.
  • This unobstructed deposition of the mascara mass is thereby promoted by a pin 9 projecting distally out of the cavity 9, which prevents the wiper from undesirably penetrating far into the cavity 9 protected by it, and which provides the mascara mass deposited with additional support, thus counteracts unwanted dripping of the mascara mass under the influence of gravity and the drag effect of the lashes pulled through the mascara depot.
  • the optional open-edge design makes it easier for the eyelashes, which are oriented preferably in the circumferential direction, to find access to the cavity and the mascara mass deposited there.
  • FIGS. 4a to 4d show a fourth example, which almost completely corresponds to the third example, so that what is said there also applies here.
  • the third and fourth examples differ only in terms of their repeat, the number of longitudinal rows of bristles with eyelash retaining members and their distribution over the circumference. Moreover, the fourth example lacks the useful extra of a pin 10.

  • the fifth example corresponds in sections to the previously described (execution) examples. Because of this, what has been said for the previous (execution) examples applies correspondingly to this fifth example, unless otherwise stated below or clearly different from the function of the fifth example.
  • the eyelash retaining member 7 is formed as a ball-like thickening at the distal bristle end.
  • the eyelash retaining member 7 forms a kind of projection here. In contrast to the previously described (execution) examples, however, this projection does not develop a truly positive holding force in the generally understood sense. Again, however, the eyelash retaining member forms a protrusion that an eyelash that slides along the bristle trunk toward the distal end of the bristle can only overcome by changing its direction.
  • the ball-like thickening which now serves as eyelash retaining member 7, even after stripping an increased amount of mascara mass is having a not inconsiderable adhesive effect, the eyelash can not readily overcome the spherical-like thickening, although it a real form fit is missing.

  • the retaining groove 11 is designed so that its width viewed in the longitudinal direction increases from the distal end of the distal end in the proximal direction. In this way, the retaining groove 11 receives a clip-like or dovetail-like profile which exerts a holding action on eyelashes which have lodged in the retaining groove 11.

  • the retaining groove 11 imparts so much support to the soft mascara mass stored in it that, nevertheless, there is no danger of dripping - because the width of the retaining groove 11 (or the entire dimension of the retaining groove 11) is designed accordingly in the case of the present example.
  • the stored mascara mass supports the holding action of the retaining 11 considerably, but at the same time makes the application of mascara mass on the eyelashes more effective, since the eyelashes are pulled through the considerable volume of mascara stored in the retaining groove 11, pulled out and so selectively coated.

Accordingly, the holding is dimensioned taking into account the properties of the mascara mass to determine the specific dimensioning in individual cases by professional experiments, is not a problem for the expert.

It is the two rows of successively standing bristles with eyelash retention organs, which border the bristle field, so that connect on one side no more bristle rows. In this way, it is easier for the user to thread the eyelashes more than just in the retaining grooves 11, in which they are held for the purpose of curling and at the same time particularly effectively coated with the mascara mass stored there - which is not the least Extending / lengthening facilitates.
