Definitions

  • keratinous fibers e.g., hairs
  • the term "cosmetic product” includes make-up products.
  • a cosmetic product includes but is not limited to a mascara, a gel product, or a hair dye.
  • Mascara is a commonly used cosmetic product which both lengthens and thickens eyelashes.
  • each eyelash should be liberally and uniformly coated with mascara, and the eyelashes should not clump together.
  • the more thickly mascara is applied the greater the tendency is for the eyelashes to clump together.
  • the invention includes a device for applying a substance to at legst one keratinous fiber and includes an applicator with a support extending along a longitudinal axis and attached to a stem and a twisted wire internally contained within the support and extending along the longitudinal axis and having at least one fiber hejd by the twisted wire; and at least one separator attached or integrally formed as a single piece with the support; and the twisted wire and the fiber held by the twisted wire and the separator appear as alternating rows of separator and fiber on the applicator.
  • a non-limiting example of the device appears in figure 1.
  • the fiber may be a synthetic fiber, a natural fiber, or a mixture of natural and synthetic fiber.
  • the fiber may have a cross-sectional diameter of about 2 to about 14 mils and a uniform density.
  • the fiber may be combined with multiple fibers.
  • the fiber can be a single fiber.
  • the multiple fibers may be tufted, the multiple fibers may be shaped by trimming.
  • the fiber density may be about 25 to about 800 fibers per 1/4 inch of brush length and extend substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the support.
  • separators and fibers are not in alignment.
  • the separator and applicator is made of a synthetic material: In an embodiment the synthetic material may be the same for both the separator' arid applicator. In another embodiment the applicator and separator are made of different synthetic material.
  • separators and fibers alternate along the same row:
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a representative device for applying a cosmetic product to keratinous fibers constructed in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a representative device for applying a cosmetic product to keratinous fibers constructed in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention
  • FIG. 4 is a partial perspective view illustrating an embodiment of the support
  • FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 show perspective views of embodiments of a device of the present invention for applying a cosmetic product to keratinous fibers.
  • the device comprises an applicator 1 which further comprises a support 2, a stem 3 and a top 4.
  • the support 2, stem 3 and top 4 may be produced by molding applicator 1 as a single unit.
  • support 2, stem 3 and top 4 may be produced as separate elements and then combined to form applicator 1 , where stem 3 runs along the longitudinal axis of support 2 and terminates with top 4.
  • Support 2 may be attached to stem 3 by any means that will prevent support 2 from slipping off stem 3 when applicator 1 is inserted or removed from a container (not shown) for holding ' 'ttVe cosmetic product to be applied to keratinous fibers or from being pulled off by hari ⁇ .
  • Stem 3 may have a twisted wire (not shown) and support 2 would then .be, attached to stem 3, and the wire would be encased within support 2. In this case the support 2 would not be a solid piece to allow the fibers to protrude from the twisted wire and appear to alternate with separators 6 on the support 2.
  • Support 2 further comprises at least one separator 6, at least one hole 7 and at least one fiber 8.
  • multiple separators 6 and fibers 8 are disposed on support 2 in the longitudinal direction of support 2.
  • fibers o 8 have a cross-sectional diameter between 2 to 14 mil and project radially outward from support at a length appropriate to apply cosmetic product to the keratinous fibers without any visual clumping.
  • the term "mil” means thousandths of an inch.
  • Fibers 8 may be circular, solid or hollow, or have varying cross-sectional shapes such as triangular, square, pentagonal, hexagonal, oval, lobate, triocular, tetraocular and so on. In the case where the cross-section of fibers 8 has an irregular shape, the cross-sectional diameter is measured at its widest point. ; '
  • Fibers 8 are preferably inserted into holes 7 of support 2 and may be held, .in place within holes 7 by any means that will prevent fibers 8 from slipping out of holes.7 when applicator 1 is inserted or removed from a container for holding the cosmetic product to be applied to keratinous fibers or from being pulled off by hand.
  • fibers 8 are held in place within holes 7 by a twisted wire (not shown) encased within support 2, the twisted wire having gripped there between fibers.8 (i.e. fibers are held by the twisted wire).
  • Support 2 may have a fiber density ranging from about 25 to 800 fibers per % inch of support length. As used herein, "about" 1 sHa ⁇ i generally mean plus or minus 20 percent.
  • the holes are each independent of each " other and do not create through holes in the support.
  • Separators 6 may have varying cross-sectional shapes such as trian ' g ' ⁇ ' ldf; square, pentagonal, hexagonal, oval, lobate, triocular, tetraocular and so on, arid may taper according to such shapes at the ends farthest away from support 2.
  • Separators 6 and fibers 8 are disposed 360° around the circumfere ⁇ ce ⁇ ,pf support 2. Rows of separators 6 and fibers 8 may be disposed in the longitudinal direction of support 2. The rows may be in substantial alignment with one another, ⁇ ,r- iri the alternative, the rows may not be in alignment. Separate rows of separators 6 l ⁇ ay alternate with separate rows of fibers 8 around the circumference of support ' - ' ' 2.I Alternatively, rows comprising a mixture of separators 8 and fibers 6 may be disposed around the circumference of support 2.
