vention have been above pointed out, others: will The roller 3 is provided with an absorbent surbecome apparent from the following diselosnres 5. jape pad, generally indicated by numeral 6. In
that embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figures 3, 4 and 5, this surface pad is made up from an elongated fabricated strip of absorbent fabric wound spirally around the roller. The winding of the fabric is preferably done under 5 sufficient tension to make a tight winding so that when the applicator is used against the body, there will not be any bulging or creasing of the surface pad.
The fabric going to make up the pad is illustrated in Figure 4 and comprises an elongated strip of suitable material, such as gauze of the type used for gauze bandages. The main strip portion is initially wider than the roller 3 and side marginal portions of this main strip are turned inwardly against the intermediate portion of the strip as indicated at l and 8 in Figur 4. Between the inturned marginal portions 1 and 8 another and initially separate strip 9 of similar material is attached to the main strip. The strip 9 is relatively narrow, so that it does not completely fill space between the edges of the inturned marginal portions and is preferably centrally located between those edges, so that there 1 isfactory adhesive of such character as not to be disrupted when the applicator is supplied with liquid make-up. When the fabricated strip has beenwound around the roller to form the surface pad 6, there will be spaced regions or areas of greater absorptive power than the remainder of the pad, such regions or areas being provided by the channels l8 and H whereat the fabric is only of single-ply. The single-ply portions will be held apart by the inturned marginal portions I or 8 on either side thereof, as clearly seen in Figure 3. Thus, the region embodying the single ply arrangement will be more absorptive than the rest. of the pad, and thus the pad may hold a goodly quantity of liquid cosmetic and insure, an even and smooth application of that cosmetic to the body with relatively light pressure.
It will be appreciated that the regions of greater absorptive power may be provided in some other satisfactory manner, and it may be that only one such region is required. In other instances, several regions scattered over the surface pad without any particular symmetrical arrangement may be desired.
In Figure 6 I have illustrated another form of surface pad generally indicated by numeral l2. In this instance, this pad includes merely a single thickness strip of fabric wound spirally upon the roller 3" into a number of layers l3. This pad may likewise be satisfactorily made of gauze of the type of gauze bandage, and in this instance there are no multi-thickness portions,'-a strip of the material merely being wound around the roller until a pad of the desired thickness is reached. Such an applicator will not have any regions of'g'reater absorptive power than any other part of the pad, but the pad will be equally absorptive throughout.
In use, the applicator is quite efficient and very simply handled. With reference to Figure 1, it will be seen that the user need only grasp the handle 2 in her hand M. The liquid cosmetic is preferably placed in an open vessel, and the roller with its surface pad is dipped into the cosmetic. Then the applicator is rolled along the leg l5 of the user with an upward stroke leaving behind it an even smooth stripe of make-up as indicated by numeral 16. In this manner, the leg may be smoothly and evenly covered with makeup entirely therearound. It will be especially noted that the users hand never contacts the make-up, the finger-nails are not soiled, and the application of the make-up is done very expeditiously with a minimum of effort.
It will further be appreciated that the applicator is economical in construction, highly economical in use, in that it results in less wastage of make-up than most frequently occurred heretofore, and the applicator may be repeatedly used, having a long life.
It will, of course, be understood that various details of construction may be varied through a wide range without departing from the principles of this invention, and it is therefore not the purpose to limit the patent granted hereon otherwise than necessitated by the scope of the appended claims.
I claim as my invention:
1. A make-up applicator for applying a liquid cosmetic to the human body, including a roller, hand holding means associated with said roller, and an elongated strip of absorbent fabric wound around said roller to provide an absorbent pad of multiple plies, said fabric strip being of plural plies over its major portion with a relatively narrow portion of fewer plies than present in said major portion extending circumferentially of the roller in an intermediate portion thereof.
2. A make-up applicator for applying a liquid cosmetic to the human body, including a roller, hand holding means associated with said roller, and an elongated strip of fabric Wound around said roller, saidstrip being fabricated to provide a relatively narrow path around said roller of less plies than the remainder of the wound strip.
3. A make-up application for applying a liquid cosmetic to the human body, including a roller, hand holding means associated with said roller, and an elongated strip of gauze wound around said roller to provide a multi-ply surfac pad, said strip including a sheet of gauze having the side margins turnedinwardly over the central portion, and a second strip of gauze of less width than the space between the inturned side edges disposed substantially evenly between said edges on the main strip leaving a relatively narrow single-ply channel on each side of said second strip.
