Definitions
- the present invention relates to a brush for applying cosmetic products, in particular, mascara, to eyelashes.
- Twisted wire brushes for application of liquid-type cosmetics such as for application of mascara to the eyelashes, are well known in the art.
- the brushes are designed to pick up and hold a supply of mascara from the cosmetic container, and then deliver the mascara to the eyelashes as the brush is combed through the lashes by the user.
- Twisted wire brushes conventionally are manufacDtured by disposing a plurality of individual lengths of bristles transverse to and between substantially parallel, slightly spaced-apart thin metal wire lengths, such that the wire lengths generally bisect the filament lengths at their midpoints.
- the parallel wire lengths comprise the two substantially equal leg segments formed from bending a single length of wire i nto a U-shaped configuration. The wire lengths are then twisted together to form a helical core, causing the bristles disposed between the wires to be clamped therebetween at about their midpoints.
- the segments of the bristles on either side of the clamped midpoint flare radially outward from the core and so form an elongate bristle brush portion of generally circular cross-section.
- the bristles are usually comprised of nylon filaments.
- the bristles serve the function of collecting mascara from a reservoir and holding the mascara until it is applied to the user's eyelashes.
- the brush is generally affixed to a rod, which is mounted to a cap or other closure for the cosmetic container.
- This patent discloses a mascara brush having a reduced number of bristles, said to be 35% to 80% less than in conventional mascara brushes, ostensibly of larger diameter, than the bristles employed in conventional mascara brushes at the time. This was believed to provide a better application of mascara and separation of lashes.
- the patent specifies mascara brushes having a bristle diameter from about 0.10 to 0.25 mm (e.g. about 0.004 to 0.010 inch or 4 to 10 mil) and with from approximately 10 to 40 bristles per turn of the helix.
- the concept of a mascara brush having larger diameter fibres was further discussed in WO 0158309 -.
- This disclosure is directed towards mascara brushes made from filaments that are relatively large but soft.
- the application describes mascara brushes having preferably having 7-14 bristles per turn.
- the bristle filaments are defined as preferably being from 0.245 mm to 0.319 mm (0.010 inch to .013 inch or 10 to 13 mil).
- the bristles are defined as being relatively soft being made of a thermoplastic elastomer having a durometer of between 62 Shore D and 82 Shore D, but most preferably about 72 Shore D.
- This document essentially defines a mascara brush made with a DuPont filament sold under the tradename "Supersoft.”
- the "Supersoft" filaments have a durometer of 72 Shore D and are available as solid filaments or as triocular filaments having three hollow voids.
- Mascara which is typically highly viscous, tends to clump when applied to eyelashes.
- the clumps of mascara are typically combed out as a finishing step to the application process.
- Stiffer bristles are thought to be better suited for combing out clumps and properly separating lashes.
- the combing and separating functions are thought to be better accomplished with brushes a having relatively open bristle envelope or brush surface, i.e., an envelope or surface that has numerous or wide clearances or spaces between bristles to make the brushes more 'comb-like'. This function is not well served by traditional mascara brush designs having smaller diameter bristles with higher bristle density.
- a mascara brush with softer, more numerous bristles has been generally thought to be well suited for applying mascara but less well suited for combing out clumps and separating lashes.
- a brush with stiffer, fewer bristles has been thought to be well suited for combing and separating lashes but less well suited for applying mascara to lashes.
- a separate brush can be used for each function, i.e., a soft brush for application and a stiff brush for combing, a single brush that can both apply mascara and comb out clumps is preferable.
- This patent discloses bristles made of a soft material having a shore hardness of 2OA to 4OD (as noted above, a conventional bristle typically has a durometer of over 85D), and a large diameter in a range of 0.10 mm to 0.35 mm (0.004 inch to 0.014 inch or 4 to 14 mil). The diameter of the bristles is said to be sufficiently large to prevent too high a degree of suppleness. The resulting brush is said to have the same degree of suppleness or softness as a conventional softer brush.
- a mascara brush having a twisted wire stem and outwardly extending bristles, which has an increased surface area for carrying mascara, which picks up cosmetics in a uniform manner, and which picks up and carries a satisfactory amount of mascara without repeated reintroductions of the brush into a reservoir of mascara, but which also provides good combing and lash lengthening effects without creating a perception of excessive bristle hardness. Disclosure of Invention
- a mascara brush in accordance with the invention comprises a core formed of at least two wires twisted together with flocking applied to the wire core, and bristles retained and gripped by the twisted wires of the core.
- the twisted wire core has a brush end and a handle end, and flocking is adhered to the brush end. In an alternative embodiment, flocking is adhered to the entire length of the wire.
- the flocking is formed from fibre strands having a diameter of about 0.005 mm ( .0002 inch) to about 0.051 mm (.0020 inch); and a length of between about 0.51 mm (.020 inch) to about 3.81 mm ( .150 inch), preferably about 1.02 mm (.040 inch) to about 2.03 mm (.080 inch), and most preferably about 1.14 mm (.045 inch) to about 1.52 mm ( .060 inch).
- a plurality of radially extending bristles is retained between the wires of the core.
- the bristles have a diameter of about 0.076 mm (.003 inch) to about 0.305 mm (.012 inch) and a bristle density of about 7 bristles per turn to about 50 bristles per turn, and more preferably, a bristle density of about 7 bristles per turn to about 25 bristles per turn.
- the flocking provides an increased surface area for carrying mascara, when compared to conventional mascara brushes, together with brush bristles at a density suitable for lash lengthening, thickening, building, curling, and/or combing.
- a method for making a brush for applying mascara to eyelashes comprises applying adhesive to at least a portion of a wire; then adhering flocking to the portion of the wire by exposing the adhesive to flocking.
- the wire is formed into a U-shape having two leg segments and a plurality of bristles are placed between the leg segments of the U-shape wire, with at least some of the bristles being placed along the portion of the wire having flocking adhered thereto.
- the wire is then twisted together to retain the bristles in the twisted wire.
- the portion of the wire where the flocking is adhered contains all of the bristles retained in the twisted wire.
- flocking is adhered along the entire length of the wire.
- FIG. 1 is a front elevation view of a flocked mascara brush in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the flocked mascara brush of FIG. 1.
- FIGS. 3 - 7 are a series of schematic views illustrating methods of manufacturing a flocked mascara brush in accordance with the invention.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 a flocked mascara brush, or applicator, is shown and generally designated by the reference numeral 10. It should be noted that for the sake of clarity not all the components and parts of brush 10 may be shown and/or marked in all the drawings.
- Brush 10 comprises a central twisted wire core 12 having a handle end 14 and a brush end 16 extending from handle end 14 along central core 12. A helical array of regularly disposed bristles 24 is retained in the twisted wire core 12.
- Core 12 can be made of any suitable material, but is preferably made of a malleable wire 18, made from a materials such as steel, stainless steel, bronze, copper, aluminium, or plastic.
- the core 12 is a twisted wire core typically made by forming wire 18 into a "U" shape having leg segments 20 and 22.
- a plurality of bristles 24 are placed between the leg segments 20 and 22 of wire 18.
- the leg segments 20 and 22 are then twisted around each other along a longitudinal axis to clamp bristles 24 at approximately the midpoints of the bristles 24.
- the bristle ends extend radially from the twisted wire core 12 in a helical or spiral manner.
- Flocking 30 is adhered to core 12, by any suitable means, preferably by a suitable adhesive.
- the preferred adhesive is an epoxy adhesive.
- Flocking 30 is adhered to at least a portion of core 12 at brush end 16, or it may be adhered to the entire core 12.
- Flocking 30 is composed of short fibre strands, such as pulverized fibre, or a fibre such as cotton, wool, silk, rayon, nylon or polyester.
- the flocking is a short monofilament fibre made of nylon, rayon or polyester.
- the flocking is formed from fibre strands having a diameter of about 0.0051 mm (.0002 inch) to about 0.051 mm (.0020 inch); and a length of between about 0.51 mm (.020 inch) to about 3.81 mm (.150 inch), preferably about 1.02 mm (.040 inch) to about 2.03 mm (.080 inch), and most preferably about 1.14 mm (.045 inch) to about 1.52 mm (.060 inch).
- a plurality of bristles 24 are regularly disposed about brush end 16 of core 12.
- Bristles 24 are made of materials suitable for combing eyelashes and carrying and applying mascara to achieve the desired payoff effect to the lashes, such as lash lengthening, thickening, building, curling, and/or combing. Bristles 24 are preferably made by cutting short segments from spools of filaments.
- the filaments are preferably formed from nylon or polyester, or another suitable material.
- Other suitable materials may include any type of synthetic material, including polyamide, polyolefin and the like.
- bristles 24 are made of nylon, and most preferably made of 6-12 type nylon.
- the filaments will typically be circular solids in cross-section, but alternatively may have non-circular cross-sectional shapes, such as ovals, square, rectangular, or polygons (including hexagons); or the bristles may be hollow or have voids therein, thus, the term "diameter” as used herein to refer to "bristle diameter” is intended to mean the maximum distance between any of the possible opposite positions on the outer surface of a bristle 24 filament.
- the bristle 24 diameter is about 0.076 mm (.003 inch) to about 0.305 mm (.012 inch).
- the bristle 24 density is in the range of 7-50 bristles per turn; depending on the bristle diameter and the viscosity of the mascara product. In one preferred embodiment, the bristle density is about 7-25 bristles per turn.
- the number of bristles per turn can be determined by several methods. One method involves counting bristle ends in one 360 degree turn of the brush and dividing by two to arrive at a count of bristles per turn. Another method involves counting the total number of 360 degree turns of the bristles 24 of the brush along the length of the brush, then counting the total number of bristles 24, and dividing the total bristle count by the total turn count, to determine an average of bristles 24 per turn.
- bristle density encompasses both definitions.
- the brush 10 can be trimmed to have any desired shape, for example, cylindrical, tapered, conical, curved, etc.; or if desired, the bristle ends may be processed by grinding, heating, or other techniques.
- the bristle lengths may be slightly longer than is usual in conventional brush designs, but this is not a necessary requirement for effective use of the invention.
- the brush 10 when fabricated, is then assembled together with a rod 26.
- the handle end 14 of the brush is mounted to rod 26.
- the rod 26 will typically be mounted to a container cap that mounts to a mascara-containing container.
- Brush 10 is adapted in size and shape to fit into a neck of the mascara-containing container so that the brush is stored in the container when not in use, or when necessary to pick up mascara for application.
- a method for making a brush 10 is schematically shown in FIGS. 3 to 7.
- the method as shown in FIG. 3 begins with applying adhesive 50 to at least a portion 52 of a wire 18, then as shown in FIG. 4, adhering flocking 30 to the portion 52 of the wire 18 by exposing the adhesive to flocking 30.
- adhesive and flocking may be applied to an entire length of a spool of wire.
- adhesive and flocking may be applied in repeating sections to an entire spool of wire. In such cases, short lengths of wire would be cut off of the spool of wire to make the twisted wire core of the mascara brush of the invention.
- the wire may be cut into short lengths of wire 18 first, and the short lengths of wire 18 are processed by application of an adhesive and flocking prior to twisting of bristles into the wire core.
- the short lengths of wire 18 could be processed by application of an adhesive and flocking either prior to or after bending of the short length of wire 18 into a U-shape as described below.
- adhesive 50 is applied to the wire by a spray gun, however the adhesive may be applied in any way, including dip methods, brushing or rollers.
- the flocking 30 is applied by imparting a static charge to the flocking contained in a enclosed chamber 56 and placing or conveying the wire or short lengths of wire 18 through the chamber so that the flocking 30 adheres to wire or short lengths of wire 18 at the portions where the adhesive 50 has been applied thereto.
- wire 18 is formed into a U-shape having two leg segments 20,
- a plurality of bristles 24 are placed between the leg segments 20, 22 of the U-shape wire 18, with at least some of the bristles 24 being placed along the portion 52 of the wire 18 having flocking 30 adhered thereto.
- the leg segments 20, 22 of the U-shape wire 18 are then twisted together to retain the bristles 24 in the twisted U-shape wire 18.
- the portion 52 of the wire where the flocking 30 is adhered contains at least some of the bristles 24 retained in the twisted wire.
- the portion 52 of the wire where the flocking 30 is adhered contains all of the bristles 24 retained in the twisted wire.
- flocking 30 is adhered along the entire length of the wire 18.
- the flocking is a short monofilament fibre made of nylon, rayon or polyester.
- each strand of flocking is generally tubular in shape and has a diameter of about 0.005 mm (.0002 inch) to about 0.051 mm (.0020 inch); and a length of between about 0.51 mm (.020 inch) to about 3.81 mm (.150 inch), preferably about 1.02 mm 1.02 mm (.040 inch) to about 2.03 mm (.080 inch), and most preferably about 1.14 mm (.045 inch) to about 1.52 mm (.060 inch).
- the bristle 24 diameter is about 0.076 mm (.003 inch) to about 0.305 mm (.012 inch) and the bristle density is in the range of 7-50 bristles per turn, and preferably is about 7-25 bristles per turn.
