Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a method for manufacturing a novel mascara brush, and also relates to a mascara brush manufactured by the method. Background Art

[0002] People use mascara brushes to apply mascara liquid of various colors to eyelashes to make eyes look more beautiful. At present, the mascara brush generally includes a container for containing mascara liquid, a handle operated by a user to open and close the container, a brush rod extending from the handle, and a smearing member and a combing member attached to the brush rod. The smearing member of the mascara brush has bristles for applying mascara liquid to eyelashes, and the combing member has comb teeth for combing eyelashes coated with mascara, so as to simultaneously complete the application of mascara liquid and combing of eyelashes.

[0003] In a structure in which the smear member and the combing member are provided separately and then assembled together, the smear member is made in the following manner: a metal wire is folded in the middle into two juxtaposed folded parts, bristles are vertically inserted between the two folded parts, and the two metal folded parts are spirally wound (or twisted) multiple times to form a bristle rod, whereby the bristles are clamped and fixed by the two folded parts and extend radially outward from the spiral outer surface of the formed bristle rod. Finally, in order to fix the smear member to the combing member, the bristles in a sector in a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction are usually cut off along the entire longitudinal direction before the smear member is installed on the combing member. Due to the small size of the mascara brush, especially the combing bristles, the operation of cutting the bristles is not easy, and the process is complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to simplify a mascara brush, in particular a method for manufacturing a smearing member thereof, and accordingly to provide a new mascara brush.

[0011] In some embodiments, the bristles are evenly distributed over the arrangement length or are spaced apart in the form of thin bundles over the arrangement length.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first step further includes a sub-step of shortening a portion of the bristles close to the connecting end to shorten their radial extension length.

[0013] In some embodiments, the twisting includes winding the two folded parts around each other only for a portion of the arrangement length, or winding the two folded parts around each other over the entire length between the connection end and the free end.

[0014] In some embodiments, the connection between the second end of the combing member and the connecting end of the applicator includes: a second assembly hole formed on the second end of the combing member receives at least a portion of the connecting end of the applicator; or the second end includes a feature configured to be inserted into the annular connecting end of the applicator; or the connecting end of the applicator abuts the second end of the combing member.

[0015] In some embodiments, in the third step, the installing comprises moving the free end of the smear member to pass through the first assembly hole, and then moving the connecting end of the smear member in the opposite direction to engage with the second end.

[0016] In some embodiments, in the third step, the fixing is achieved by gluing and / or heat welding between the free end of the smear member and the first assembly hole and / or between the connecting end of the smear member and the second end.

[0017] In a second aspect of the present application, a mascara brush is provided, comprising an applicator and a combing member, optionally manufactured using the above-mentioned manufacturing method, wherein the free end of the applicator is inserted into and passes through the first assembly hole and the connecting end of the applicator is engaged with the second end.

[0018] In some embodiments, in a cross section perpendicular to the central axis of the first assembly hole, the inner circumference and the outer circumference of the combing connecting rod are part of a circular arc or part of a polygon. In some embodiments, the combing connecting rod has a profile that protrudes radially outward in the middle from the first end to the second end along the longitudinal direction where the central axis is located.

[0019] In some embodiments, the connecting end of the smear member is an annular end, and the second end is configured to have a feature extending into the hollow space of the annular end or is configured with a hole for receiving at least a portion of the annular end.

Correspondingly, the width of the combing rod of the combing piece is small enough, for example, the corresponding central angle is not greater than 20 degrees. In this way, when the smear piece formed in this way is assembled to the combing piece, the combing rod will not excessively interfere with the extension of the bristles of the smear piece, and the smear piece and the combing piece can still be smoothly assembled together. As mentioned above, making the smear piece in this way eliminates the step of cutting off part of the bristles, the manufacturing process is simple, and manpower, material resources and related costs are saved.

[0032] The novel method for manufacturing a mascara brush of the present application and the structure formed by the method will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] In general, a mascara brush may include a container for containing mascara liquid, a handle operated by a user to open and close the container, a brush rod extending from the handle, and a smear and a combing member attached to the brush rod. The smear of the mascara brush has bristles for applying mascara liquid to eyelashes, and the combing member has comb teeth for combing eyelashes coated with mascara, so as to simultaneously complete the application of mascara liquid and combing of eyelashes. The manufacturing method and structure of the present application mainly relate to the smear and combing member attached to the brush rod.

[0034] Figure 1 It is a simplified flow chart of the novel method for making the mascara brush of the present application. Figure 2 and 3 It is a front view and a top view of the application member of the mascara brush manufactured according to the manufacturing method of the present application; Figure 4Schematic diagram of a combing piece used with the smear piece of the present application. Figure 1-6 A first embodiment of the present application is described.

[0035] In general, the method for making a mascara brush may include a first step S1 of making an applicator 10; a second step S2 of making a combing member 50; a third step S3 of installing and fixing the applicator 10 to the combing member 50; and finally a fourth step S4 of installing the assembled applicator 10 and combing member 50 assembly to the handle of the mascara brush.

[0036] The manufacturing method of the present application has the advantage of simplifying the manufacturing process of the smear member 10 in the first step. Specifically, the first step of manufacturing the smear member 10 includes: a first sub-step S11 of folding a rigid wire member into two folded parts and sandwiching the bristles between the two folded parts; and a second sub-step S12 of twisting at least the parts of the two folded parts sandwiching the bristles so that these parts of the two folded parts are entangled with each other.

[0037] In the first sub-step S11, the wire may be a common metal wire in the art, or a wire, rod or strip made of any flexible material that can be conceived by a person skilled in the art and can maintain its deformed shape after being bent or wound. The "wire, rod or strip" means that the size in the extension direction is much larger than the size in the cross section perpendicular to the extension direction. The wire may have any feasible shape in the cross section, preferably a circular or elliptical shape. In this sub-step, the rigid wire (the "metal wire" is taken as an example in this article) is folded into two folded parts 11 and 13 (reference Figure 2 ), each folded portion has a length along the extension direction. The two folded portions 11 and 13 after folding are connected to each other at the connecting end 10a and define opposite free ends 10b. The bristles 30 are sandwiched between the two folded portions 11 and 13 at a roughly middle position, and the bristles 30 have a bristle arrangement length L0 along the extension direction of the wire member. The bristles 30 can be evenly distributed on the arrangement length L0, or as shown in the figure, the bristles 30 are in the form of thin bundles and are evenly spaced and arranged in the arrangement length L0. There is a distance L1 between the bristle arrangement length L0 and the free end 10b, and the bristle arrangement length L0 can be adjacent to the connecting end 10a or there is a small distance between them. The free end 10b is configured to attach the applicator 10 to the brush rod of the mascara brush, and the connecting end 10a can play a fixing or auxiliary fixing role when the applicator 10 is installed on the combing member 50.

[0038] In the second sub-step S12, the user twists at least a portion of the bristle arrangement length L0 of the two folded portions 11 and 13 so that the two folded portions 11 and 13 are entangled with each other in these portions. Thereby, the bristle rod 20 is formed, and all the bristles 30 are spirally distributed along the outer circumference of the bristle rod 20, extending radially outward from the outer circumference of the bristle rod 20. In some embodiments, the user twists the entire extension length between the connecting end 10a and the free end 10b of the two folded portions 11 and 13 so that the two folded portions 11 and 13 are entangled with each other over the entire extension length. At this time, the connecting end 10a can have a ring shape defining a hollow space 17 as shown in the figure, or it can be similar to the free end 10b to form an extension of the bristle rod 20.

[0039] At this point, the smear member 10 is manufactured. The manufacturing method of the present application may only include the above two steps, excluding the step of cutting or shearing off a portion of the bristles 30 in the prior art, so the formed smear member 10 has bristles 30 extending radially outward in the entire circumferential direction of the bristle rod 20. The present method simplifies the difficult step of cutting off the bristles, at least when other conditions are the same. Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, but not necessarily, the portion of bristles 30 near the connecting end 10a has a shortened radial extension, which is advantageous for accessing shorter eyelashes located on either side of the eyelid. Therefore, optionally, the first step of making the applicator 10 may also include a third sub-step of shortening the portion of bristles 30 near the connecting end 10a.

[0040] In the second step of the manufacturing method, the Figure 4 The combing member 50 is shown such that the combing member 50 includes a first end 52 and a second end 54 and a combing link 56 connecting the first end 52 and the second end 54 .

[0041] The first end portion 52 and the second end portion 54 have a first inner surface 62 and a second inner surface 64 facing each other, and a first assembly hole 72 and a second assembly hole 74 extending from the first inner surface 62 and the second inner surface 64 into the first end portion 52 and the second end portion 54, respectively, and having a common axis. As shown, the first assembly hole 72 can be configured as a through hole and allow the free end 10b of the applicator 10 to pass through to be attached to the brush rod of the mascara brush, and the second assembly hole 74 can be configured as a blind hole and is sized to at least partially receive the connection end 10a of the applicator 10. In the illustrated embodiment, the second assembly hole 74 can also be a through hole to expose the connection end 10a of the applicator 10.

[0042] The combing link 56 has an inner circumferential surface 58 facing the central axis of the first assembly hole 72 and the second assembly hole 74 and an opposite outer circumferential surface 68 away from the central axis. Figure 5 As shown. The combing teeth 60 extend radially outward from the outer peripheral surface 68. The length of the combing teeth 60 extending radially outward can be greater than or slightly less than or equal to the length of the bristles 30 extending radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the bristle rod 20, as long as it can extend beyond the bristles 30 after the application member 10 is installed on the combing member 50 (preferably extending beyond the bristles 30 by about 5 mm). The extension range of the combing teeth 60 in the longitudinal direction where the central axis of the first assembly hole 72 is located is substantially consistent with the arrangement length L0 of the bristles 30. As shown in the figure, the combing member 50 can have a row of combing teeth 60 arranged in the longitudinal direction.

[0043] The shape and size of the inner circumference 58 of the combing link 56 are designed so that the smear member 10 can be mounted to the combing member 50 in a manner that the free end 10b passes through the first assembly hole 72 and the connecting end 10a engages the second end 54 of the smear member 10 (for example, received by the second assembly hole 74 shown in the figure or engaged in other ways). In the embodiment of the present figure, in a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the inner circumference 58 and the outer circumference 68 can be in the form of a fan-shaped ring portion, so that the combing link 56 has a substantially fan-shaped structure. The inner diameter of the inner circumference 58 can be equal to the outer diameter of the bristle rod 20 of the smear member 10, preferably larger than or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the bristle rod 20 of the smear member 10, so as to form a gap between the two. However, those skilled in the art can envision any other type of surface shape, for example, in a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, either the inner circumference 58 or the outer circumference 68 can be part of a polygon.

[0044] In order to prevent the combing rod 56 of the combing member 50 from interfering with the bristles 30 of the smear member 10 when the smear member 10 is fixed to the combing member 50, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, regardless of the shape of the combing link 56 in the cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the fan ring structure of the combing link 56 is configured so that the central angle θ ( Figure 5 ) is not greater than 20 degrees, preferably not greater than 10 degrees.

[0045] In the illustrated embodiment, the first end 52 of the combing member 50 includes an inner end portion 52a with a larger outer dimension near the combing link 56 and an outer end portion 52b with a reduced outer dimension, but those skilled in the art will appreciate that this is not necessary. The first end 52 of the combing member 50 may be configured to have a uniform outer profile along the longitudinal direction.

[0046] In the illustrated embodiment, the second end 54 of the combing member 50 can be configured into a conical or dome shape. However, it is also conceivable to configure the second end 54 of other shapes and sizes. The second assembly hole 74 in the second end 54 can have the same inner diameter as the first assembly hole 72, which is applicable to the case where the connecting end 10a of the smearing member 10 is a non-annular structure similar to the free end 10b, so as to be received and assembled into the second assembly hole 74. The second assembly hole 74 in the second end 54 can have an inner diameter larger than the first assembly hole 72 so as to directly receive the connecting end 10a (for example, the annular shape shown in the figure) of the smearing member 10 (formed due to the bending of the wire member). The second end 54 of the combing member 50 can also be provided with a structure for engaging the connecting end 10a of the smearing member 10 in other ways, such as the second end 54 of the combing member 50 itself can, or include any suitable structure, so as to extend into the hollow space 17 of the annular structure forming the connecting end 10a to prevent the combing member 50 and the smearing member 10 from moving relative to each other in the longitudinal direction.

[0047] In the third step of installing and fixing the smear member 10 to the combing member 50, the free end 10b of the smear member 10 is first moved to be inserted through the first assembly hole 72, and then the connecting end 10a of the smear member 10 is slightly moved in the opposite direction to engage the second end 54 of the combing member 50 to complete the installation step. The fixing of the smear member 10 to the combing member 50 can be performed by gluing and / or heat welding. Specifically, the fixing can be implemented at at least one or more positions between the first inner surface 62 of the first end 52 of the combing member 50 and the free end 10b of the smear member 10, between the first outer surface 66 of the first end 52 opposite to the first inner surface 62 and the free end 10b of the smear member 10, between the second inner surface 64 of the second end 54 of the combing member 50 and the connecting end 10a of the smear member 10, and between the second outer surface of the second end 54 opposite to the second inner surface 64 and the connecting end 10a. For example, it is also possible to fix only at the first outer surface 66 of the first end 52. Extending the second end portion 54 of the combing member 50 or a portion thereof into the annular structure forming the connecting end 10a also helps achieve the above-mentioned fixation.

[0048] Figure 5 According to the first embodiment, Figure 4 Cross-sectional illustration of section AA in . Figure 6 It is a cross-sectional view along the section AA after the smear member 10 and the combing member 50 are installed together. Since the central angle θ faced by the combing link 56 of the combing member 50 is very small, the bristles 30 extending radially outward from the outer surface of the bristle rod 20 of the smear member 10 are very small and are thus inclined toward both sides of the combing link 56, and a small portion of the bristles are squeezed in the gap between the inner circumference 58 of the combing link 56 and the outer circumference of the bristle rod 20.

[0049] Figure 7 and Figure 8 Corresponding to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , respectively represent the process according to the second embodiment of the present application Figure 4 The cross-sectional view of the cross-section AA and the smear member 10 and the smear member 10 made by the manufacturing method of the present application Figure 7 A cross-sectional view along section AA after the combing elements 50 are assembled together.

[0050] This embodiment is different from Figure 5 and 6 The first embodiment is that the combing member 50 of the present application includes two spaced combing links 56 arranged in the circumferential direction around the longitudinal direction, and each combing link 56 has a fan-shaped structure and has a central angle of no more than 20 degrees, preferably no more than 10 degrees. At the same time, in order to ensure that the interference between the part of the bristles 30 and the combing link 56 does not affect the assembly and function of the smear member 10 and the combing member 50, the gap 76 between the two combing links 56 corresponds to the gap central angle θ1 ( Figure 7 ) is between 10 degrees and 20 degrees, preferably about 15 degrees, to accommodate the bristles 30 that are partially interfered with by the combing link 56.

[0051] According to the present application, the bristles 30 of the smear member 10 can be made of nylon material, and the combing teeth 60 of the combing member 50 and the combing link 56 can be formed by precision molding of the same material (e.g., natural resin, synthetic resin including polyamide, etc.), so that the combing teeth 60 can be thicker and stronger than the bristles 30 of the smear member 10. Optionally, the combing teeth 60 in the combing teeth 60 column on each combing link 56 can be arranged in the longitudinal direction at intervals of about 0.1 to 1 mm. It is also conceivable that, if the width of the outer peripheral surface 68 of the combing link 56 allows, one or more columns of combing teeth 60 can be arranged on each combing link 56, or the combing teeth 60 of different columns can be staggered.

[0052] According to the present application, the length of the combing link 56 of the combing member 50 extending in the longitudinal direction is equal to, preferably slightly greater than, the arrangement length L0 of the bristles 30. In this way, when assembling the smear member 10 to the combing member 50, first hold the connecting end 10a of the smear member 10 by hand, insert the free end 10b of the smear member 10 into the first assembly hole 72 of the first end 52 of the combing member 50 and pass through the hole (so as to be subsequently attached to the brush rod not shown in the figure), and then withdraw the connecting end 10a of the smear member 10 into the second assembly hole 74 of the second end 54 or withdraw the connecting end 10a to engage with the second end 54.

[0053] In some embodiments, the second end 54 of the combing member 50 can be configured to be suitable for inserting into the hollow space 17 of the connecting end 10a of the smear member 10, and the second assembly hole 74 is no longer necessary. The engagement between the second end 54 of the combing member 50 and the connecting end 10a of the smear member 10 can include the latter abutting against the second inner surface 64 of the former in the longitudinal direction. Regardless of the engagement mode between the second end 54 of the combing member 50 and the connecting end 10a of the smear member 10, the engagement surface between the two can be glued and / or heat-welded. However, the present application does not limit the fixing mode between the combing member 50 and the smear member 10 to glue and / or heat-welding.

[0054] The novel method for making the mascara brush of the present application and the mascara brush made by the method are described above. The method has the advantage of saving the step of cutting or removing part of the bristles at least in the production of the smearing member. Since the operation of this step is difficult, the method of the present application has the advantage of significantly saving time, manpower, material resources and costs. Using the mascara brush of the present application, when the bristles of the smearing member with mascara liquid on it contact the eyelashes, the mascara liquid is applied to the eyelashes, thereby giving the eyelashes an effect of increasing volume. Then, the mascara brush is gently rotated, and new bristles with enough mascara liquid are constantly contacting the eyelashes, so that the eyelashes are coated with enough mascara liquid. When the mascara brush is rotated to comb the eyelashes with a sufficient amount of mascara liquid on them by the combing teeth of the combing member, the technical effect of preventing the eyelashes from being entangled can be achieved. Therefore, the effects of increasing volume, lengthening eyelashes, curling and tidying are shown.

[0055] The present application is described above with reference to two embodiments in the accompanying drawings. However, after reading this document, a person skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the principles of the present application, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present application. The scope of protection of the present application is limited only by the attached claims.
