Benefits of technology

[0008] It is an object of the invention to embody a brush of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that, on the one hand, it can be produced at a reasonable cost and comes up to hygienic requirements while, on the other hand, enabling a favorable shape to be put into practice that will result in a process of controlled tactile application in particular of lip cosmetics.
[0012] According to the invention, due to the combination of fibers being pointed and a comparatively deep and long recess for holding the fibers the bunch of fibers has a dense tip which gives the user a nice feeling when cosmetics is applied and which makes it possible to draw exact contours.
[0013] Accordingly, the invention abandons the conventional idea that synthetic fibers must necessarily be supplied and worked in the form of a continuous reel. Rather, slightly more complicated working is readily accepted in exchange for the achievement of so far unknown application results that are based on optimally configured individual fibers and total bunches of fibers.

Problems solved by technology

Drawbacks of natural hairs reside in that they are not available at a low cost and in sufficient quantities of desired and reproducible quality.
Moreover, from a point of view of hygiene, natural hairs are accompanied with some problems when in touch with the human skin, because they have a rough and thus expanded surface that lies open to the attack of germs.
When a bunch of those natural hairs is fixed centrally in the recess of the brush, they will also stand out by the blunt tips, this deteriorating the brush properties in the application area.
However, this asymmetric arrangement negatively affects the shape of the brush, therefore not offering an optimal solution.
No use can be made of the advantages offered by pointed fibers.

Embodiment Construction

[0030]FIG. 1 is a side view of a fiber 1 used in accordance with the invention. Proceeding from a central sector 2, this fiber 1 comprises a first pointed tip 3 and a second pointed tip 4.

[0031] When a bunch of those fibers 1 is being bent in a shape of a U in the direction of the arrows P1 and P2, consequently being fixed symmetrically of the central longitudinal axis 5 in a recess 6 of the brush shank 7 as seen in FIG. 4, what results is a fiber bunch 8 exclusively consisting of fibers that are pointed towards the tip of the brush.

[0032]FIG. 3 illustrates a brush shank 7 of plastics. A shank 7 of that type may be part of a cosmetic unit, scaled down in FIG. 2; the shank 7 is disposed in the recess 9 of a cap 10 which, by way of an internal thread 11, can be screwed on an external thread 12 of the neck 13 of a cosmetic container 15. The shank 7 combines with the fiber bunch 8 and with the cap 10, which simultaneously constitutes a prolonged handle, the whole forming a brush 14 ac...

Abstract

A brush for cosmetic- or care-product application to human skin, in particular for lip-cosmetic application, wherein a bunch of fibers is bent in a shape of a U and, in the vicinity of a bight of the U, is fixed in a recess of a shank of the brush, and wherein the fibers are pointed towards both tips.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The invention relates to a brush for applying lip cosmetics to the lips, a bunch of fibers being bent in a shape of a U and, in the vicinity of a bight of the U, being fixed in a recess of a shank of the brush and the fibers being pointed at least towards one tip. [0003] 2. Background Art [0004] A brush of the generic type is known from EP 0 937 424 B1. [0005] Brushes of the generic type, having a bunch of fibers bent in the shape of a U, are also known as so-called stamped brushes. Conventionally the fibers are natural hairs. Drawbacks of natural hairs reside in that they are not available at a low cost and in sufficient quantities of desired and reproducible quality. Moreover, from a point of view of hygiene, natural hairs are accompanied with some problems when in touch with the human skin, because they have a rough and thus expanded surface that lies open to the attack of germs. An advantage of natural hairs res...
