Description

Technical Field

[0001] This patent relates to the field of packaging materials. Embodiments of this disclosure generally relate to the application of products, including cosmetics, care products, or pharmaceuticals, to human skin or keratin fibers, such as hair, eyebrows, nails, and / or eyelashes. The products include viscous liquids, semi-solids, or powders. Background Technology

[0002] In the cosmetics industry, applicators such as dip applicators or stick applicators are well-known. Cosmetic packaging typically includes applicators for dispensing specific cosmetic products contained in the packaging container. Cosmetic applicators generally consist of a stick with a cap at one end and a fluid product applicator, suitable for products including viscous cosmetics, mascaras, eyeliners, lip glosses, hairsprays, wound care products, skin care products, ophthalmic cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and similar products.

[0003] However, existing applicators are usually flocked cotton heads, which can provide a very soft application effect, but these applicators have the problem of broken cotton heads. The broken ends of the cotton heads can fall into the raw materials mixed inside the packaging container, thus affecting the effectiveness of the cosmetics.

[0004] Meanwhile, in traditional flocking cotton heads, glue is inevitably used during the flocking process. The glue may react chemically with the raw materials inside the packaging container, resulting in shedding or deterioration of the internal raw materials. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a flexible fluid product applicator, including a brush head and a brush tail. The brush tail is used for installation and connection with a brush handle. The brush head includes a head body, a bristle seat, and multiple bristles. The head body and the brush tail are connected as one piece. The multiple bristles are distributed on the bristle seat. The bristles and the bristle seat are integrally formed. The bristles and the bristle seat are made of flexible material. The bristle seat is connected to the head body.

[0006] Its advantages include the bristles and bristle holder being a single molded structure, thus avoiding the shedding phenomenon of traditional flocking processes. The bristles, being molded integrally with the bristle holder, are less prone to breakage and require less glue, preventing contamination of the fluid product to be applied.

[0007] In some implementations, the bristle holder and the head body are a one-piece structure formed by two-color injection molding.

[0008] Its advantages are that by using a two-color injection molding process, the entire bristle base and the bristles on it can be directly injection molded onto the head body, thus forming an integrated structure. This can better ensure the stability of the bristles, making it less likely for the bristles to break off, and the manufacturing process is also simpler.

[0009] In some implementations, the brush bristles and the bristle holder are integrally molded structures made of TPE material.

[0010] The beneficial effect is that using TPE can achieve better softness, ensuring that the bristles are softer when in contact with the object to be coated.

[0011] In some implementations, the brush bristles and the bristle holder are a one-piece molded structure made of silicone.

[0012] Its beneficial effect is that the product is made of silicone material in one piece, and the chemical properties of the product are stable. It will not react chemically with the raw material to be coated, and can achieve the food-grade safety of silicone.

[0013] In some implementations, a limiting part is provided on the brush tail.

[0014] Its beneficial effect is that it ensures that the applicator and brush handle can be easily installed with a limit setting.

[0015] In some embodiments, the limiting part is an annular groove.

[0016] Its beneficial effect is that a corresponding sealing ring can be set in the annular groove, which facilitates the sealing connection between the applicator and the brush rod, and prevents the raw material from seeping into the installation gap between the applicator and the brush rod.

[0017] In some embodiments, the head body has an S-shaped cross-section and includes two opposing first surfaces and two opposing second surfaces. The first surfaces are uneven and S-shaped, and the bristle holder is disposed on the first surface. The second surfaces are smooth.

[0018] Its beneficial effects are that the head body is set in an S-shape, which makes it convenient to perform the corresponding application operations. The bristles on the first surface can easily spread the product evenly, and the relatively smooth second surface can facilitate some detail processing, such as drawing lines and contours.

[0019] In some implementations, multiple bristles are evenly distributed in an array on the bristle holder.

[0020] Its beneficial effect is that the evenly distributed bristles can effectively ensure a uniform application effect.

[0021] In some embodiments, the bristles are of equal length, and the tips of multiple bristles together form an undulating S-shape that conforms to the first surface.

[0022] Its beneficial effect is that by matching the bristle length, an S-shaped shape can be achieved better.

[0023] A fluid product packaging includes a cap, a container body, a brush handle, and a flexible fluid product applicator as described above. The container body is used to contain the fluid product. The cap cooperates with the container body to form a closed space. The brush handle is fixed to the cap. The flexible fluid product applicator is connected to the brush handle via the brush tail.

[0024] Its beneficial effects include applicability to adhesive cosmetics, mascaras, eyeliners, lip glosses, hairsprays, wound care products, skin care products, ophthalmic cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and similar products. It ensures that the bristles and bristle holder are integrally molded, thus avoiding the shedding issues associated with traditional flocking processes. The bristles, molded as a single unit with the bristle holder, are less prone to breakage and reduce glue usage, preventing contamination of the fluid product being applied.

[0025] It is understood that the above is merely an explanation of the disclosure principles, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications without departing from the scope and spirit of the disclosure. For example, the shape and / or size of various components may differ from those shown herein. As another example, the materials used for various components may differ from those specifically mentioned herein. Attached Figure Description

[0029] As shown throughout the drawings, similar reference numerals denote similar or corresponding parts. While illustrative embodiments of this disclosure have been described and illustrated above, it should be understood that these are exemplary embodiments of this disclosure and not to be considered limiting. Additions, deletions, substitutions, and other modifications to this invention may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, this disclosure is not limited to the following description.

[0030] In this specification, the terms “including,” “comprising,” “comprising,” etc., shall always refer to a collection of objects, not limited to those specifically listed.

[0031] Figure 1-3 Preferred embodiments according to this disclosure are shown.

[0032] A flexible fluid product applicator includes a brush head 1 and a brush tail 2. The brush tail 2 is used for mounting and connecting to a brush handle. The brush head 1 includes a head body 11, a bristle base 12, and multiple bristles 13. The head body 11 and the brush tail 2 are connected as one unit. The multiple bristles 13 are distributed on the bristle base 12. The bristles 13 and the bristle base 12 are integrally formed structures. The bristles 13 and the bristle base 12 are made of flexible material. The bristle base 12 is connected to the head body 11.

[0033] In this patent, the bristles 13 and the bristle base 12 are integrally molded, thus avoiding the shedding phenomenon of traditional flocking processes. The bristles 13, which are integrally molded with the bristle base 12, are less likely to break and reduce the use of glue, thereby preventing contamination of the fluid product to be applied.

[0034] The brush holder 12 and the head body 11 can be a one-piece structure made of two-color injection molding.

[0035] Using a two-color injection molding process, the entire bristle base 12 and the bristles 13 on it can be directly injection molded onto the head body 11, thus forming an integrated structure. This better ensures the stability of the bristles 13, making it less likely for the bristles 13 to break off, and the manufacturing process is also simpler.

[0036] In this patent, the brush bristles 13 and the brush bristle base 12 can be an integrally molded structure made of TPE material.

[0037] Using TPE can achieve better softness, ensuring that the bristles 13 are softer when in contact with the object to be coated.

[0038] Meanwhile, the bristles 13 and the bristle base 12 can also be a one-piece molded structure made of silicone.

[0039] Made of silicone in one piece, the product has stable chemical properties and will not react chemically with the raw materials to be coated, thus achieving the food-grade safety of silicone.

[0040] Of course, TPE and silicone listed above are just two common material choices; other soft materials can also be used.

[0041] In this patent, a limiting part 21 is provided on the brush tail 2.

[0042] Its beneficial effect is that it ensures that the applicator and brush handle can be easily installed with a limit setting.

[0043] Meanwhile, the limiting part 21 is an annular groove.

[0044] Its beneficial effect is that a corresponding sealing ring can be set in the annular groove, which facilitates the sealing connection between the applicator and the brush rod, and prevents the raw material from seeping into the installation gap between the applicator and the brush rod.

[0045] In this patent, the preferred head body 11 has an S-shaped cross-section. The head body 11 includes two opposing first surfaces 111 and two opposing second surfaces 112. The first surface 111 is uneven and S-shaped. The bristle holder 12 is disposed on the first surface 111, and the second surface 112 is smooth.

[0046] The head body 11 is set in an S-shape to facilitate the corresponding application operation. The bristles 13 on the first surface 111 can easily spread the product evenly, while the second surface 112 is relatively smooth and can easily be used for some detail processing, such as drawing lines and contours.

[0047] Among them, multiple bristles 13 are evenly distributed in an array on the bristle holder 12.

[0048] The evenly distributed bristles 13 ensure a good even application effect.

[0049] Meanwhile, the length of the bristles 13 is as uniform as possible, and the tips of multiple bristles 13 are undulating and present an S-shape that is compatible with the first surface 111.

[0050] By using matching bristles of the same length (13), an S-shaped shape can be achieved more effectively.

[0051] Another embodiment of this patent discloses a fluid product packaging, including a cap, a container body, a brush rod, and a flexible fluid product applicator as described above. The container body is used to contain the fluid product, the cap cooperates with the container body to form a closed space, the brush rod is fixed to the cap, and the flexible fluid product applicator is connected to the brush rod through the brush tail 2.

[0052] This patent is applicable to products including adhesive cosmetics, mascaras, eyeliners, lip glosses, hairsprays, wound care products, skin care products, ophthalmic cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and similar products. It ensures that the bristles 13 and the bristle base 12 are integrally molded, thus avoiding the shedding phenomenon associated with traditional flocking processes. The bristles 13, integrally molded with the bristle base 12, are less prone to breakage and reduce the use of glue, thereby preventing contamination of the fluid product to be applied.

[0053] It is understood that the above is merely an explanation of the disclosure principles, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications without departing from the scope and spirit of the disclosure. For example, the shape and / or size of various components may differ from those shown herein. As another example, the materials used for various components may differ from those specifically mentioned herein.
