Description

_ 1 -

  The invention relates to a device for the application

  of a cosmetic preparation and more particularly

  a new and improved makeup applicator

for eyelashes.

  In recent years, the use of eye shadow as a cosmetic adjunct in the treatment and beautification of the female face has become an important if not essential aspect of makeup. Especially, the eye shadow is applied to the eyes.

  of applicators applying appropriate quantities

  eyelashes while separating them

  to communicate to them a radiant and aesthetic appearance.

  Among the various devices currently used for the application of eye shadow include roller eyeliner applicators which, although they apply appropriate amounts of mascara, do not effectively separate lashes so that they are difficult.

  if not impossible to apply eyelash makeup and simul-

  The use of brush applicators has largely eliminated the disadvantages of roller applicators since they simultaneously allow the lashes to be separated while facilitating the uniform application of mascara. In order to further increase the ability of brush applicators to separate eyelashes, a brush applicator having a structure which provides both the advantages of roller and brush applicators has more recently been developed in that it applies the desired amount of makeup and separates and lengthens the lashes. An applicator of this type is described in

U.S. Patent 3,908,676.

  It has been found that the above applicators and other types of brush applicators are generally satisfactory in use. However, they have the disadvantage that the free end of the rod of the applicator on which the brushes are mounted may eventually accidentally touch the eye of the person, thus causing unpleasant physical sensations and possibly injuries, because the bristles of the brushes come into contact with the eye or with the delicate tissue around it. In addition, the breaking of the metal or plastic end of the rod on which the brushes are mounted tends to create a rough edge which can cause injury to the person

who uses the applicator.

  Accordingly, a main object of the invention is to provide an eyelash applicator which applies a desired amount of makeup while separating and lengthening the eyelashes and which at the same time has a structure designed to prevent the applicator does not cause

  accidental damage to the user.

  Another object is to provide an eyelash applicator comprising a tip of generally flexible or flexible material, mounted on the free end of the rod which supports the applicator brushes and playing a protective role by eliminating or reducing the risk of accidental contact between the bristles of the brushes and the eye

  or the surrounding skin tissue of the user.

  Another object of the invention is to provide an application

  of the above type in which the tip is formed of absorbent material and has predetermined configurations so that it can be used for

  apply cosmetics to the eyelids.

  Another object of the invention is to provide an application

  of the above type in which the brushes and the tip can be immersed simultaneously in a reserve

  blush contained in a suitable tank.

  The above and other objects are achieved by an applicator essentially formed of a rod comprising a grip portion from which coaxially extends an elongated rod carrying a plurality of brushes

  eyelash applicators for eyelashes. At the far end

  a generally flexible or flexible material end having an absorbent or non-absorbent property and a smooth or

  textured according to the intended field of application.

The reosvoizir 12 may comprise a generally cylindrical body 14 extending at one end through a neck of smaller diameter 16 externally threaded into 18. As is well known, the tank 12 may be made of suitable plastic or metal and may bear decorative amarques and colors, engraved or printed on its outer surfaces. An insert 20 may be force-fitted into the neck 16 of the reservoir. . The reported item 20

  placed on the end surface of the neck 16 of the tank.

  The insert 20 may be formed of plastic material

  that or relatively hard rubber.

  An applicator wand 28 includes a grip or grip portion 30. The grip portion may be cylindrical and formed of plastic, wood or metal having a suitable colored decoration, etched or printed on its outer surfaces so as to give an aesthetic appearance. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the cylindrical gripping portion 30 is hollow at one end and has at this end an internal thread 32 designed to be screwed to an external thread 18 of the neck of the reservoir 12, when the applicator

10 is assembled.

  From the hollow end of the engaging portion 30 of the wand 28 an elongated applicator rod 32 preferably formed of a rigid plastics material. A rim 34 provided at one end of the rod is attached to

  inside the grip portion 30 and includes an over-

  planar face adapted to fit tightly to the surface 26 of the insert 20 when the components

  12 and 28 are assembled so as to form a receptacle

closed key for makeup.

  A braided wire 36 extends coaxially from the elongated rod 32, one end of the wire being molded into

  the rod so as to be fixed thereto in a permanent manner

  nent. Suitable applicator brushes 38 are secured along the wire 36 in a well-known manner. The brushes can also be mounted on the plastic rod itself, the wire being removed, or a comb-shaped structure for separating the eyelashes

can be provided on the stem.

  At the free end of the wire 36 is mounted a tip 40 constituting a protective structure eliminating or at least reducing the possibility of damage due to a

  contact of the bristles of the brushes 38 with the eye of the user.

  rubber, spongy rubber, a plastic material

  spongy soft tick etc. As shown in FIG. 2, the tip 40 has a rounded or generally hemispherical contour, so that accidental contact with the user's eye does not occur.

  cause no inconvenience or damage.

  The tip 40 may be formed of an absorbent or non-absorbent material. When it is formed of an absorbent material capable of absorbing a quantity of cosmetics, the tip may be used to apply makeup to the eyelashes instead of or in combination with the brushes 38

  we want it. In addition, tip 40 can be used to

  eyelids a blush in the form of lines of

  variable, in addition to its safety or

  tection. Figures 3 and 4 show different forms of

  tips. Thus, in FIG. 3, the tip 42 has a configuration

  practically conical ration with a point allowing

  so much to form thinner lines when used as an applicator on the eyelids. In Figure 4, the tip 44 has a generally frustoconical shape with a blunt or flat tip which is used to draw wider lines. It is also possible to give the tips 40, 42 or 44 a shape to use them to apply cosmetics to the lips or other parts of the face. Tips 40, 42 and 44 have been described herein with respect to a brush-type eyelash applicator, but it is obvious to those skilled in the art that they may be used for safety or security purposes. protection for any type of eye shadow applicator, for example that described in US Pat.

US 3,908,676 already cited.

  In addition, the tip shapes represented by

  drawings are just examples and other

  will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.

  In summary, the tip structure according to the invention, attached to the applicator end of the eyelash applicator, is of an adaptable nature in that it can not only form a protective tip but also if desired, make an applicator

  blush aid for eyelashes or other cosmetics.
