  • FIG.11
  • EYELASH-COSMETIC APPLICATOR This invention relates to an improved device for applying cosmetic to beautify and enhancingly emphasize the eyelashes. More particularly the invention relates to a mascara applicator of unique design that withdraws from a mascara reservoir a predetermined amount of mascara and provides means for controlled dispensing thereof.
  • Each applicator provides for a controlled amount of eyelash cosmetic to be withdrawn from the reservoir, while providing means for separation of adjacent eyelashes and for placing a predetermined amount of cosmetic about each eyelash.
  • an improved mascara-applying means consisting of a series of parallel surfaces of basically triangular plates, such plates being similarly oriented about a common central shaft and having equal spaces therebetween.
  • the alined sides of the plates together form a smooth, discontinuous surface suited to assist wiping.
  • the plates When used as an applicator, the plates function similar to comb teeth in that they separate the eyelashes for coating thereof with mascara.
  • the thickness of the individual plates provides for control of the quantity of eyelash cosmetic withdrawn from the reservoir. by providing flat edges for cooperation with wiper surfaces.
  • the container as shown herein presents sealing and wiping arrangement that is effective for use with the aforementioned mascara-applying means.
  • the applicator is formed into a trifurcated elongated body.
  • Each of the furcations or tines extends axially along the applicator shaft and is tapered so that the narrowest portion of the applicator is furthest away from the applicator handle.
  • a smooth curve generally parabolic in nature, extends. This smooth curve enables the wiping of the applicator by mechanical means to minimize the amount of mascara carried thereby.
  • the individual tines have indentions extending radially from the central shaft or wand portion. These indentions cause a cross-section of a given tine to take on a serrated form. The indentions are equally spaced to roughly correspond with desired eyelash separation.
  • the indentions of adjacent tines are in alinement so that upon rotatory motion of the applicator, the cosmetic in corresponding indentions successively coat the same lash or lashes.
  • the overall diameter of the device is maintained at a minimum so that the view of the individual user is not obscured by the applicator.
  • the tapered construction of the applicator enables the skillful coating of the smaller lashes at either side of an eye.
  • This invention for an eyelash cosmetic-applicator comprises a shaft; handle means attached to one end of the shaft; and, an applicator head with a plurality of flat, substantially triangular projections each extending to a vertex at most 1 centimeter from the shaft, the triangular surfaces of these projections being normal to the axis of the shaft, at least three of the projections spaced about the shaft in a coplanar arrangement forming a regular geometric pattern, the pattern repeated axially starting from the shaft end opposite the handle means with corresponding vertices of adjacent patterns being coplanar with said axis, adjacent sides of said corresponding coplanar projections defining smooth, discontinuous channels along said shaft, the adjacent patterns leaving axial spaces therebetween of not less than 0.25 millimeters.

  • an eyelash-cosmetic applicator or dispenser designated as 20. that consists generally of a bottle or tubular reservoir 22 and a cap or applicator handle means 24.
  • the cap has fluted member 26 for facilitating removal of the cap from the bottle.
  • the cap 24 consists of an outer shell 28 being closed at one end and having internal threads 30 adjacent to the rim of the opening,
  • attachment means for bolding the upper end of applicator shaft 32.
  • the upper end of an applicator shaft is formed into a cup-like member 34 which is dimensioned so as to press fit into shell 28 and has its rearward position with relation to the closed end of shell limited by flange 36.
  • the attachment means consists of the mating relationship between the retaining groove 38 of shell 28 and external bead 40 of cup-like member 34. While many other attachment arrangements are feasible. this has proved to be a simple, yet effective, structure for retaining the applicator shaft and the reservoir in a coaxial relationship when assembled.
  • Wiper assembly 48 has lip 50 that extends above neck 44 and, upon closure of the bottle, the outer surface 46 of member 34 is mated therewith. Full engagement of threads 30 and 42 and compressive seating of surface 46 onto lip 50 yields a cosmetic-retaining dispenser for retarding evaporative loss of solvent. For additional sealing. upon closure, flexible webs 52 are compressively urged against applicator shaft 32.
  • the cosmetic applicator is illustrated in detail in FIGS. 3, 4. and 5.
  • the applicator head 31 has a central shaft or core 54 reduced dimensionally from and coaxial with applicator shaft 32.
  • About the central shaft are a plurality of flat, substantially triangular projections or teeth 56 that extend normal to the shaft axis to vertices 58.
  • the projections have a height between adjacent triangular surfaces 60, as measured along a line parallel to the shaft axis. that is slightly less than the average spacing between eyelashes.
  • the height of the openings 62 between surfaces 60 of adjacent projections is slightly greater than the average thickness of the cosmetically-treated eyelash.
  • the projections are uniformly distributed about shaft 54 with axially adjacent ones aligned so as to form smooth channels 62 therebetween.
  • Coplanar adjacent projections are shaped so that a smooth curve extends between the respective apices. The smoothness of the channels provides for efficient wiping thereof by wiper assembly 48.
  • the wiper assembly 48 illustrated in detail in FIGS. 6 and 7. has a central aperture 66 that is adapted to seal against the outer surface of applicator shaft 32. Surrounding this aperture are flexible webs 52 which upon insertion of the applicator are stretched to conform to the outer surface of channel 64. Upon insertion triangular projections 56 extend radially into the flexible web areas. The buttress projections 68 mate with channels 64 and together with flexible webs 52 form squeegees that force mascara-like cosmetic 69 into the openings 62 between triangular projections 56.
  • the wiper assembly is retained in bottle 22, FIG. 1, by external wiper bead 70 which mates with bottle neck 44 and groove 72.
  • the wiper assem bly 48 is constructed of a neoprene material so as to afford resistance to organic solvents. Such construction forms webs 52 that are flexible along radial lines bisect ing each web. The neoprene is undercut along the dashed lines 78 so as to direct the line of fracture.
  • FIGS. 8, 9 and 10 the variety of applicator geometries are shown.
  • a plurality of flat, substantially triangular projections or teeth 56 that extend normal to the shaft axis to vertices 58.
  • the projections have a height between adjacent triangular surfaces 60, as measured along a line parallel to the shaft axis, that is slightly less than the average spacing between eyelashes.
  • the projections in the 4-5- and 6-tine geometries are uniformly distributed about shaft 54 with axially adjacent tines alined so that to form smooth channels 64 therebetween.
  • the first alternate wiper assembly 88 illustrated in detail in FIGS. 11 and 12 has a central aperture 106 that is adapted to seal against the surfaces of applicator shaft 32. Surrounding this aperture are flexible segments 92 which upon insertion of the applicator, flex to conform to the outer surface of channel 64. Upon insertion triangular projections 56 extend radially into the flexible segment areas.
  • the segmented wiper 88 is not a form that has two tiers of wiper segments each out of phase with the other so that no matter what angle the applicator element is inserted, flexible segments 92 conform to the smooth surface of channel 64.
  • the wiper assembly 88 is retained in bottle 22 by external wiper bead 110 which mates with bottle neck 44 and groove '72.
  • the assembly is further secured by wiper flange 114 which mates with corresponding neck flange 76 on bottle neck 44.
  • the segmented wiper assembly 88 is constructed of a neoprene material that affords resistance to organic solvents.
  • the second alternate wiper assembly 128, illustrated in detail in FIGS. 13 and 14 has a central aperture 146 that is adapted to seal against the outer surface of applicator shaft 32. Surrounding this aperture is a resilient body 132 which upon insertion of the applicator is compressed to conform to the outer surface of channel 64. Upon insertion triangular projections 56 extend radially into the resilient material 132. The resilient material 132 is deformed in a manner that holds it against channel 64 and squeezes cosmetic material into the openings 62 between triangular projections 56.
  • the wiper assembly 128 is retained in bottle 22 by external wiper bead 150 which mates with bottle 44 and groove 72. The assembly is further secured by wiper flange 154 which mates with corresponding neck flange 76 on bottle neck 44.
  • the wiper assembly 128 is constructed of a neoprene material so as to afford resistance to the organic solvent of the cosmetic.
  • the resilient mass 132 constructed from a foamed plastic material having a similar resistance to organic solvents.
  • FIGS. and 16 show a partial cross-section of the several teeth such as are shown in FIG. 5.
  • FIG. 15 shows a cross-section taken through a plane including the axis to applicator shaft 32. It illustrates the relationship between projections 56, mascara 160 and eyelashes 162.
  • FIG. 15 clearly shows the manner in which each eyelash 162 is completely surrounded by mascara 160 during application.
  • an applicator head (the end opposite the handle means) is formed within a diameter of 6mm. Such an overall dimension is within the 1cm. found to be the optimum maximium for width of applicators on the basis that wider applicators obstruct vision too much.
  • a three-tined applicator is formed having individual teeth from triangular plates approximately 0.5 mm. thick for providing separation between eyelashes during application and 2 mm. in height for sufficient engagement of the lashes.
  • the shaft diameter of about 3 mm. is reduced to a core (reduced shaft) of about 2 mm. in the head area so as to regulate withdrawal from reservoirs of cosmetic material. Efficient wiping is accomplished by having a smooth curve of 4mm. radius forming an arc between adjacent vertices and being tangential to a diameter slightly greater than the central core.
  • An eyelash-cosmetic applicator comprising:
  • an applicator head with a plurality of flat, substantially triangular projections each extending to a vertex at most one centimeter from said shaft, the triangular surfaces of said projections being normal to the axis of said shaft, at least three of said projections spaced circumferentially about said shaft in a coplanar arrangement forming a regular geometric pattern, said pattern repeated axially starting from the shaft end opposite said handle means with corresponding vertices of adjacent patterns being coplanar with said axis, adjacent sides of said corresponding coplanar projections defining smooth, discontinuous channels along said shaft, said adja- LII cent patterns leaving axial spaces therebetween of not less than 0.25 millimeter.
  • a tubular reservoir having an opening at one end thereof for receiving said applicator head
