AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent is for a cosmetic brush that can hold different types of brush heads interlockingly. The brush head has a matching locking base that fits into an insert on the handle. The insert has a color-coded flange at the top of the handle and the brush head has a color-coded collar at its base. This means that only brush heads with the same color can be inserted into the handle. This design allows for easy swapping of brush heads without having to stop and change out the handle.

Problems solved by technology

These cosmetic brushes can be bulky or small and easily misplaced.

There is therefore a need for a brush with interchangeable brush heads that allows a user to vary the type of brush head to be used while limiting the need for multiple brushes, thus drastically limiting the amount of space and storage needed for the cosmetic application tools.
