Benefits of technology
The present invention provides an applicator assembly with an application element, a blending element, and a retaining element that can transfer, distribute, and blend an application material onto a surface. The application element retains the application material and distributes it onto the surface, while the blending element distributes the application material on the surface. The applicator assembly can be made with different materials that have different characteristics, and it can be used for different types of application materials such as cosmetics or paints. The applicator assembly can be designed with a tip plane at an angle ranging from about 20 to 90 degrees to facilitate application. The technical effects of the invention include improved application of materials to surfaces and improved user experience.
Problems solved by technology
Inconsistent supplies of natural bristles and unacceptable variations from one batch of bristles to another often impede manufacture of brushes having natural bristles.
Even if properly treated, many individuals are nevertheless allergic to natural bristles.
In addition, natural bristles can be damaged by cleansing agents used to clean the bristles after use.
The use of synthetic bristles has also met with difficulties, however.

An applicator assembly having an application element, a blending element and a retaining element. The application element comprises a material configured to retain an application material and distribute the application material onto a surface and the blending element comprises a material configured to distribute the application material on the surface. Together the application and blending elements allow the process of transferring, distributing and blending the application material onto the surface to be performed with a single application assembly. Embodiments of the applicator assembly have the application element and the blending element to be comprised of materials with different characteristics.
Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of and claims priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12 / 556,632, filed on Sep. 10, 2009 and Titled “Multi-Property Applicator Assembly and Methods of Use.” The content of the above-captioned application is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Field of the Invention[0003]This invention relates to applicators, in particular sponges and brushes distribute an application material such as makeup or paint onto a surface.[0004]Description of the Prior Art[0005]In the field of sponge and brush applicators, it is known that different materials have different properties for the application and distribution of application materials such as paints or cosmetics.[0006]Natural application materials, such a bristles, whether of vegetable or animal origin, result from organic growth processes wherein elongated cellular formations build upon one another to form essentiall...
