Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a brush that is useful mainly for cosmetic use, particularly when applying mascara to the eyelashes.

[Conventional technology]

Cosmetic brushes traditionally used for applying mascara liquid, etc., are made of thin plastic sticks with bristles densely planted at the end, or rings made by wrapping cotton around the end of the thin stick like a cotton swab. A common shape is one in which several grooves are formed.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, with conventional flocked brushes, the bristles are thin and densely flocked, so when soaked in mascara, a large amount of mascara adheres, and when applied to the eyelashes, more liquid than necessary adheres and Because the bristles of the brush are densely packed, the tips of the bristles do not fit between the eyelashes. As a result, adjacent eyelashes stick to each other after the liquid has been applied, making it necessary to uncomb the eyelashes after the liquid has been applied. Also, cotton swab type brushes have the same drawbacks as the flocked type, as the grooves are too shallow to fit between the eyelashes. Furthermore, conventional brushes, whether flocked type or cotton swab type, have complicated manufacturing processes and high manufacturing costs, making them unsuitable for disposable use.

The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks and provide a cosmetic brush that is easy to manufacture and easy to use.

[Means to solve the problem]

The brush of the present invention consists of a thin rod and a raised part formed at the end of the thin rod, and the feathers of the raised part are formed by making diagonal cuts in the thin rod and making these cut thin pieces stand upright. This is a technical feature.

[Effect]

Since the feathers of the raised part are formed by standing the cut thin pieces of thin rods upright, the only material is the thin rods, and no material for the feathers is required. Furthermore, since the feathers and the thin rod are integrated, no hair loss occurs.
Furthermore, since the feathers are formed by notches, there are inevitably gaps on the feather side, preventing them from being densely packed. Since the feathers are formed at appropriate intervals, it can also be used as a comb.

[Embodiment] The illustrated embodiment is a makeup brush for applying mascara liquid. 1 is a thin stick, with a diameter of 1 to 3 for cosmetic use.
mm, length of several cm is appropriate. The material for the thin rod 1 is preferably made of rolling paper, but plastic, wood, etc. can also be used. A raised portion 2 is formed at the end of the thin rod 1. The feathers 3 of the raised part 2 are formed by making thin incisions in the thin rod 1 in a diagonal direction and making these incised thin pieces stand upright. In actual manufacturing, as shown in the figure, a large number of cuts are simultaneously made in the thin rod 1 using a tool 5 equipped with a large number of thin-bladed knives 4, and then the knives are raised to form the feathers 3 all at once. The feathers 3 may be formed in one row or in about 2 to 5 rows. In the case of one row, it can also be used as an eyelash comb. The cross-sectional shape of the thin rod 1 may be circular, or may be formed into an ellipse, a plate shape, a polygon, etc. to facilitate the formation of feathers. The dimensions of the feathers are
For mascara, the feather spacing is 0.5 to 2 mm.
The height is approximately 1 to 2 mm, and is determined as appropriate depending on the application. The best material for the thin rod 1 is a wrapping paper rod in terms of ease of cutting, formability when standing upright, and strength. Furthermore, in order to increase the strength and hardness of the feathers 3, it is also possible to spray a synthetic resin such as lacquer or glue them.

[Effect of idea]

The brush of this invention makes thin diagonal cuts in the thin rod itself, and makes these cut thin pieces stand upright to raise the bristles. Compared to conventional flocked or cotton swab types, the brush is easier to manufacture and costs less. It is suitable for disposable use. In addition, since the feathers are lined up at appropriate intervals, the application liquid does not stick to adjacent feather tips, and the feather tips easily get between the eyelashes, making it easy to apply mascara liquid, etc. It is suitable for cosmetic use, allows liquid to be applied easily and evenly, and also functions as a comb. Furthermore, although the tips of the feathers are sharp, they become thinner and softer toward the tip, so there is no danger and you can use it with confidence. In addition, the brush of the present invention can be used for a wide range of purposes in addition to cosmetic applications such as applying mascara.
