Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cosmetic brush. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cosmetic brush having at least a partial spiral or helical arrangement of bristles.
- Cosmetic brushes for applying a cosmetic composition to hair include, as examples, mascara brushes and hair coloring brushes.
- mascara brushes In general, there are three types of mascara brushes—volumizing, curling, and lengthening. Out of these, volumizing mascara brushes are the most in demand. Long bristles with large overall brush diameter and bristles oriented in random directions hold the most bulk which is needed to make the lashes look thick and voluminous.
- Traditional twisted nylon mascara brushes were previously the best choice for volumizing mascaras because of their randomness and no limitation on the brush diameter.
- the drawback of this brush is that the randomness in the brush is too random, which leads to a great deal of clumping of the bulk with clumps of bulk applied on the eyelashes.
- a cosmetic brush that includes a plurality of polymer bristles that extend from a polymer core in a radial direction, wherein at least a portion of the core is twisted and bristles in the twisted portion are arranged in one or more columns disposed in one or more spiral or helical paths that extend about at least a portion of the longitudinal axis of the core.
- the configuration of the spiral or helical path is maintained without external means.
- the polymer bristles are integrally molded with the polymer core.

Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/990,767, filed on May 9, 2014, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to a cosmetic brush. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cosmetic brush having at least a partial spiral or helical arrangement of bristles.
- Cosmetic brushes for applying a cosmetic composition to hair include, as examples, mascara brushes and hair coloring brushes. In general, there are three types of mascara brushes—volumizing, curling, and lengthening. Out of these, volumizing mascara brushes are the most in demand. Long bristles with large overall brush diameter and bristles oriented in random directions hold the most bulk which is needed to make the lashes look thick and voluminous. Traditional twisted nylon mascara brushes were previously the best choice for volumizing mascaras because of their randomness and no limitation on the brush diameter. However, the drawback of this brush is that the randomness in the brush is too random, which leads to a great deal of clumping of the bulk with clumps of bulk applied on the eyelashes. In order to solve the clumping issue, the industry developed molded mascara brushes which have bristles aligned in a consistent manner so that the clumping is reduced. However, due to technical limitations, bristles had to be arranged in an orderly fashion leading to less volume effect. Therefore, a need exists for volumizing mascara brushes that also provide reduced clumping of mascara.
- There is provided in accordance with various embodiments a cosmetic brush that includes a plurality of polymer bristles that extend from a polymer core in a radial direction, wherein at least a portion of the core is twisted and bristles in the twisted portion are arranged in one or more columns disposed in one or more spiral or helical paths that extend about at least a portion of the longitudinal axis of the core. In an embodiment, the configuration of the spiral or helical path is maintained without external means.
- In at least one embodiment, the polymer bristles are integrally molded with the polymer core.
- In at least one embodiment, each column on the core is disposed in a separate spiral or helical path that extends about at least a portion of the longitudinal axis of the core. In at least one embodiment, none of the column paths intersect.
- In at least one embodiment, the cosmetic brush further includes one or more columns of bristles disposed in one or more straight paths that extend parallel to at least a portion of the longitudinal axis of the core. In at least one embodiment, none of the column paths intersect.

- As used in this document, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. As used in this document, the term “comprising” means “including, but not limited to.”
- As used herein, the term “cosmetic brush” includes, but is not limited to, mascara brushes and hair coloring brushes. Cosmetic brushes disclosed herein include a core member with at least one twist angle greater than zero degrees. In general, the twist angle is measured between two bristles in different rows, namely the bristles in the upper most and lower most rows within the twisted portion. In an untwisted arrangement, the twist angle between the two bristles is zero, i.e. the bristle column is substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the core. In a twisted arrangement, the twist angle between the same two bristles is greater than zero. In one embodiment, the twist angle is from about 1 degree to about 360 degrees. Any specific angle within this range is suitable (e.g., 2 degrees, 3 degrees, 4 degrees, 5 degrees, 10 degrees, 20 degrees, 30 degrees, 40 degrees, etc.). It is further contemplated that the twist angle may be greater than 360 degrees. It is contemplated that the entire core possesses at least one twist angle, however, it is also possible that a portion of the core is twisted while another portion is not. It is further contemplated that the core may include more than one twist angle such that a portion of the bristles extend at a first twist angle and another portion of the bristles extend at a second, distinct twist angle.
- The core member extends along a longitudinal axis XX′ and may have any suitable cross-sectional shape. Exemplary shapes for the core member includes, but are not limited to, circular, oval, triangular, square, trapezoidal, hexagonal, and the like. The bristles can also have any suitable cross-sectional shape (e.g. circular, oval, triangular, square, trapezoidal, hexagonal, etc.). The bristles can also be round or flat.
- The cosmetic brushes are manufactured from a polymer material, which may include synthetic or semi-synthetic materials. Preferably, both the core and the bristles are manufactured from a thermoplastic material; however, the invention is not limited to such. One or both of the core and bristles may be manufactured from a different material. Additionally, the core and bristles are preferably manufactured from the same material; however, the may be manufactured from different materials from one another.
- The cosmetic brushes according to the invention can be fabricated according to any suitable method. In one exemplary method, a thermoplastic brush is initially molded (e.g. via injection molding, extrusion, or the like) with the bristles formed integrally with the core in parallel, non-twisted columns. At least a portion of the molded core is then twisted via an application of force, heat, wind, chemicals, or a combination thereof, that results in a permanent deformation (e.g. twisting) of the core with the bristles in the twisted area extending in spiral or helical columns.
