Mascara brush

a brush and mascara technology, applied in the field of mascara brushes, can solve the problems that the cleaning liquid cannot be applied to the side and upper surfaces, the application of the application liquid and the wiping of the cleaning liquid cannot be performed, and the deformation of the transverse groove by the use of the brush, so as to reduce the weight, prevent the deformation of the transverse groove, and facilitate the use

Benefits of technology

[0013]In the brush portion, when the front ends of the radial brush bristle materials are each pointed like a needle, eyelashes are combed by the needle-like front ends, so that liquid application and cleaning can be finely performed. Further, when the brush portion has hook portions bent like hooks at the front ends of the radial brush bristle materials, the hook portions entangle the eyelashes, so that liquid application and cleaning can be effectively performed. Furthermore, in the brush portion, as viewed from the core axial direction, a central portion of the radial brush bristle materials is long, and the radial brush bristle materials are gradually shortened from the central portion toward the sides. Accordingly, the front end portion of the brush portion is pointed, and the eyelashes are combed by the front end portion of the brush portion, so that liquid application and cleaning can be finely performed.
[0017]The brush portion has a plurality of transverse grooves radially extending from the core material. A large amount of an application liquid or a cleaning liquid is contained in the transverse grooves, and the application liquid can be applied to eyelashes, or the eyelashes can be cleaned with the cleaning liquid. In the brush portion, the transverse grooves radially extending from the core material are formed in the radial brush bristle materials by processing using a groove forming tool, and the brush portion is in a state where the groove forming tool is not attached thereto. The brush portion is free from the groove forming tool, so that the weight is reduced, resulting in ease of use.
[0018]In the brush portion, the core material is held by a brush cover, whereby the transverse grooves radially extending from the core material are formed in the radial brush bristle materials. Since the brush portion is in a state where the brush cover is attached thereto, the deformation of the transverse grooves by the use is prevented, and the durability is enhanced.

Problems solved by technology

Thus, in the application of mascara, only substantially lower surfaces of eyelashes are applied with mascara, for example, and, also in the cleaning, only the lower surfaces of eyelashes are cleaned, and the cleaning liquid on the side and upper surfaces cannot be wiped.
Further, the mascara brush has a circular cross section, and therefore, if the mascara brush is not rotated, the application of the application liquid and the wiping of the cleaning liquid cannot be performed.

first embodiment

Variation 3 of First Embodiment

[0065]Next, a set of variations 3 of the first embodiment will be described based on FIG. 6. In the set of variations 3 of the first embodiment, although the brush portions 4 are gathered so as to correspond to the width of the core material 6 and each formed into a plate shape, other members are added. In this set of variations, the same components as those in the set of variations 1 of the first embodiment are assigned the same reference numerals, and the description will not be repeated.

[0066]In the example of FIG. 6A, the brush body 3 has two brush portions 4 located symmetrically to each other. The core material 6 is disposed so as to be located at a shaft portion 70 as a forming die. The end of the brush body 3 protrudes forward from the shaft portion 70, and the shaft portion 70 has a large number of protrusions 70a. The two brush portions 4 are tapered at the front end of the brush body 3.

second embodiment

Variation 2 of Second Embodiment

[0081]Next, a set of variations 2 of the second embodiment will be described based on FIGS. 9E and 9F. In the set of variations 2 of the second embodiment, as viewed from the core axial direction, a plurality of the brush portions 14 are located at a position forming an acute angle with the core material 16 as the center; however, the brush portions 14 are gathered. In this set of variations, the same components as those in the set of variations 1 of the second embodiment are assigned the same reference numerals, and the description will not be repeated.

[0082]In the example of FIG. 9E, as viewed from the core axial direction, the two brush portions 14 are located at a position forming an acute angle with the core material 16 as the center to be gathered and integrated. Further, the brush portions 14 are located symmetrically around the core material 16, and the spaces 17b are provided between the two gathered brush portions 14.

third embodiment

Variation 4 of Third Embodiment

[0096]Next, although a set of variations 4 of the third embodiment will be described, the explanatory views thereof are not shown. In the set of variations 4 of the third embodiment, a plurality of brush portions are provided, and the brush portions are arranged at regular intervals along a circumference of a semicircle as viewed from the core axial direction. This arrangement structure is similar to that of the set of variations 1 of the third embodiment and the set of variations 2 of the third embodiment.

Abstract

The present invention provides a mascara brush which, when an application liquid is applied with the front ends of brush bristle materials, can apply a large amount of the application liquid held in the mascara brush without being rotated and which, when cleaning is performed with the front ends of brush bristle materials, can perform cleaning with a large amount of a cleaning liquid held in the mascara brush without being rotated.In this mascara brush, a large number of the brush bristle materials are radially provided around a core material. The mascara brush has a brush portion which is constituted of the radial brush bristle materials gathered around the core material and formed into a bundle along a core axial direction. Around the brush portion, there is a space around the core material along the core axial direction. The brush portion may have hook portions bent like hooks at the front ends of the radial brush bristle materials. The brush portion may be configured so that, as viewed from the core axial direction, a central portion of the radial brush bristle materials is long, and the radial brush bristle materials are gradually shortened from the central portion toward the sides.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]This invention particularly relates to a mascara brush which is used for applying an application liquid, such as mascara, to hair to be applied with the application liquid or is used for cleaning the application liquid.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]In the conventional mascara brush, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-228018, a large number of brush bristle materials are usually held by a double-folded core material, the core material is twisted so that the large number of the brush bristle materials are radiated from the core material, and the base end of the core material is embedded and fixed into a handle.[0005]In the above mascara brush, since the brush bristle materials continue spirally, the lower surfaces of eyelashes are applied with an application liquid or cleaned with a cleaning liquid with the front ends of the brush bristle materials. Thus, in the application of masca...
