Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to cosmetic tools, specifically to a combination applicator and a cosmetic container having the applicator. Background Technology

[0002] Ordinary applicators, such as mascara brushes or eyebrow brushes, generally use bristles of a single material, such as plastic bristles or steel wire bristles. They can only meet a single makeup need during use. As a result, applicators that integrate plastic bristles and steel wire bristles have appeared on the market. However, in such applicators, the bristles of different materials are located in different areas. When using them, the direction of the brush head needs to be frequently adjusted to switch between different bristle materials. The operation steps are cumbersome and very inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this application provides a combined applicator in which two types of bristles are arranged in a specific spatial manner. When using the applicator, the synergistic effect of the two types of bristles can be achieved simultaneously without adjusting the angle of the applicator, which significantly improves the convenience of using the applicator.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problem is:

[0005] A combined applicator includes a first applicator and a second applicator. The first applicator includes a first rod and first bristles fixedly disposed on the first rod. The second applicator includes a second rod and second bristles fixedly disposed on the second rod. The hardness of the first bristles is greater than that of the second bristles. The first rod is arranged in a spiral winding manner along the circumference of the second rod, so that the first bristles and the second bristles have a specific spatial arrangement. The specific spatial arrangement includes at least one of staggered, overlapping, and parallel arrangements. The first rod and the second rod are fixedly connected.

[0006] Optionally, the first rod covers the surface of the second rod, the second bristles are located on both sides of the first rod, and the first bristles are fixed to the surface of the first rod.

[0007] Optionally, the first rod includes an outer surface and an inner surface arranged opposite to each other, the root of the first bristle is fixed to the outer surface, the head of the first bristle extends in a direction away from the first rod, and the inner surface covers the surface of the second rod.

[0008] Optionally, the first rod has a helical structure.

[0009] Optionally, the first coating component includes at least two first rods, with at least a portion of the area between any two first rods being independently distributed.

[0010] Optionally, the second applicator includes at least two second rods, all of which are spirally wound to form a double or multi-strand twisted structure. The second bristles are clamped in the gap between two adjacent second rods, the head of the second rod is installed inside the first applicator, and the tail of the second rod extends out of the first applicator.

[0011] Optionally, the first applicator further includes a support portion, a first end of the first rod is fixedly connected to the support portion, a second end of the first rod is fixedly connected to the connecting portion, a head of the second rod is installed inside the support portion, and the connecting portion is fixedly connected to the tail of the second rod.

[0012] Optionally, an installation groove is formed inside the support, the head of the second rod is inserted into the installation groove, and the head of the second rod is interference-fitted with the inner sidewall of the support. The joint is fixed to the tail of the second rod by spot welding.

[0013] Optionally, the first coating component is made of plastic and is an integrally injection molded component; the second rod is made of metal; and the second bristles are made of nylon or polybutylene terephthalate.

[0014] A cosmetic container includes a modular applicator, which further includes a brush handle, a cap, a bottle body, and an inner plug. The applicator is fixedly installed on the brush handle, which is also fixedly installed inside the cap. The inner plug is fixedly installed at the open end of the bottle body. The brush handle is inserted into the bottle body, and the cap is detachably fitted onto the bottle body.

[0015] Optionally, the first end of the brush rod is fixedly installed inside the bottle cap, and the second end of the brush rod has an assembly groove. Both the first rod and the second rod are installed in the assembly groove. The method of fixing the applicator to the brush rod includes at least one of fixing the brush rod to the first rod by dotting and fixing the brush rod to the second rod by spot welding.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: the stiffer first brush bristles are more conducive to the shaping of eyelashes and eyebrows, while the softer second brush bristles are easier to carry materials and apply makeup. The two types of brush bristles have a specific spatial arrangement, and the synergistic effect of the two types of brushes can be achieved simultaneously without adjusting the angle of the applicator, which significantly improves the convenience of using the applicator. Since the first and second rods are combined in a spiral winding manner and are fixedly connected, the bonding strength between the first and second applicator parts is improved, and the two parts will not fall off during use, making it convenient for users.

Detailed Implementation

[0037] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described in this application are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such uses of the terms can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0039] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0040] Example 1: As Figure 1-11 As shown, a combined applicator includes a first applicator 100 and a second applicator 200. The first applicator 100 includes a first rod 110 and first bristles 120 fixedly disposed on the first rod 110. The second applicator 200 includes a second rod 210 and second bristles 220 fixedly disposed on the second rod 210. The hardness of the first bristles 120 is greater than that of the second bristles 220. The first rod 110 is arranged in a spiral winding manner along the circumference of the second rod 210, so that the first bristles 120 and the second bristles 220 have a specific spatial arrangement. The specific spatial arrangement includes at least one of staggered, overlapping and parallel. The first rod 110 and the second rod 210 are fixedly connected. The term "interlacing" refers to the first bristles 120 and the second bristles 220 interweaving each other, which may or may not be in contact; "overlapping" refers to the first bristles 120 pressing on the second bristles 220, or the second bristles 220 pressing on the first bristles 120; and "parallel" refers to the first bristles 120 and the second bristles 220 extending in the same direction, and being independent of each other and not interfering with each other.

[0041] In one possible implementation, the first bristles 120 and the second bristles 220 are arranged in an alternating, overlapping, and parallel manner. In this application, the first applicator 100 and the second applicator 200 combine to form an applicator, which includes an eyelash brush, eyebrow brush, eyelid brush, etc. Because the first bristles 120 and the second bristles 220 have different hardnesses, they can meet different usage needs, and the two types of bristles can work synergistically to improve the makeup effect. In this application, the harder first bristles 120 are more conducive to shaping eyelashes and eyebrows, while the softer second bristles 220 are easier to carry materials and apply makeup. Arranging the two types of bristles in the same space allows for simultaneous application of the synergistic effect of the two types of brushes without adjusting the applicator angle, significantly improving the ease of use. Since the first rod 110 and the second rod 210 are combined in a spiral winding manner and are fixedly connected, the bonding strength of the first applicator 100 and the second applicator 200 is improved, preventing them from falling off during use and facilitating user operation.

[0042] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the first rod 110 covers the surface of the second rod 210, the second bristles 220 are located on both sides of the first rod 110, and the first bristles 120 are fixed to the surface of the first rod 110. The second bristles 220 being located on both sides of the first rod 110 means that when the first rod 110 covers the second rod 210, the heads of the second bristles 220 extend from both sides of the first rod 110, thus achieving a specific spatial arrangement of the first bristles 120 and the second bristles 220 in the same area.

[0043] like Figure 4-9 As shown, the first rod 110 includes an outer surface 111 and an inner surface 112 arranged opposite to each other. The roots of the first bristles 120 are fixed to the outer surface 111, and the heads of the first bristles 120 extend in a direction away from the first rod 110. The inner surface 112 covers the surface of the second rod 210. The first rod 110 has a curled strip structure, and a plurality of spaced-apart first bristles 120 are provided on the first rod 110. Optionally, the distance between two adjacent first bristles 120 is equal. The inner surface 112 of the first rod 110 is attached to the second rod 210, and the first bristles 120 extend outward toward the applicator. The first bristles 120 and the second bristles 220 cooperate with each other for makeup application and setting. Optionally, the heads of the first bristles 120 extend outward along the radial direction of the first rod 110. The heads of the first bristles 120 are free ends, and the diameter of the roots of the first bristles 120 is larger than the diameter of the heads of the first bristles 120. Optionally, the first bristles 120 have a frustum or truncated pyramid structure.

[0044] like Figure 4-7As shown, the first rod 110 has a spiral structure, and the first coating component 100 includes at least two first rods 110, with at least a portion of the area between any two first rods 110 being independently distributed. The state where at least a portion of the area between any two first rods 110 is independently distributed includes: the two first rods 110 being completely separated, or the two first rods 110 being connected at only one end, meaning the main parts of the two first rods 110 are independent of each other, thus facilitating the separation of each first rod 110. The purpose of making the first rods 110 spiral is to fit into the spiral-shaped second rod 210. During assembly, two or more first rods 110 can be forcefully unfolded into the shape shown... Figure 5 As shown in the diagram, the first rod 110 is wound around the second rod 210, and each first rod 110 is designed as a separate structure to facilitate the assembly of the applicator.

[0045] like Figure 10-11 As shown, the second applicator 200 includes at least two second rods 210. All the second rods 210 are spirally wound to form a double or multi-strand twisted structure. The second bristles 220 are clamped in the gap between two adjacent second rods 210. The head of the second rod 210 is installed in the first applicator 100, and the tail of the second rod 210 extends out of the first applicator 100.

[0046] In one possible implementation, the second applicator 200 includes two second rods 210, which are spirally wound to form a double-stranded structure. The second bristles 220 are clamped in the spiral gap between the two second rods 210 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction. Optionally, the second rods 210 are two metal wires. Symmetrical compressive forces are applied from both sides of the second bristles 220 by the two metal wires, while the axial torque of the spiral structure further strengthens the clamping force of the second bristles 220, ensuring the stability of the second bristles 220. Since the second bristles 220 are clamped in the gap between the second rods 210, the first rod 110 covers the second rods 210, and the first bristles 120 are located on the first rod 110. Therefore, the first bristles 120 and the second bristles 220 achieve a specific spatial arrangement in the same area.

[0047] like Figure 2 and Figure 4-7As shown, the first applicator 100 also includes a support portion 130. The first end of the first rod 110 is fixedly connected to the support portion 130, and the second end of the first rod 110 is fixedly connected to the connecting portion 113. The head of the second rod 210 is installed inside the support portion 130, and the connecting portion 113 is fixedly connected to the tail of the second rod 210. In this embodiment, the different first rods 110 are completely separated, and the first ends of all the first rods 110 are fixedly connected to the support portion 130. In this embodiment, the first applicator 100 includes two first rods 110, but it is also possible to design three or more first rods 110. The second end of each first rod 110 is connected to a connecting portion 113. The outer surface of the support portion 130 may or may not have first bristles 120, that is, the outer surface of the support portion 130 is smooth. Optionally, all the joints 113 can be spliced ​​together to form a hollow cylindrical structure, which makes it convenient for the joints 113 to be installed inside the brush rod 300 and to be fixedly connected to the brush rod 300.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, a mounting groove 131 is formed inside the support portion 130. The head of the second rod 210 is inserted into the mounting groove 131, and the head of the second rod 210 is interference-fitted with the inner sidewall of the support portion 130. The connecting portion 113 is fixed to the tail of the second rod 210 by spot welding. Optionally, the end of the second rod 210 extends out from the connecting portion 113, and the support portion 130 has a cap-shaped structure with one open end. The specific process of spot welding includes: heating or energizing the welding point of the second rod 210 to raise its temperature, then attaching the connecting portion 113 to the welding point. Under high temperature conditions, the plastic material of the connecting portion 113 melts, and the molten connecting portion 113 adheres to the second rod 210. After cooling, the connecting portion 113 and the second rod 210 are welded together. The head of the second rod 210 is inserted into the mounting groove 131 of the first coating part 100. The first rod 110 is spirally wound around the second rod 210, and the tail of the second rod 210 is spot welded to the joint 113 of the first coating part 100. Therefore, the first coating part 100 and the second coating part 200 have high bonding strength and are not easy to fall off.

[0049] Optionally, the first applicator 100 may be made of plastic, including thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPEE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), etc. The first applicator 100 is a one-piece injection molded part. The second rod 210 may be made of metal, and the second bristles 220 may be made of nylon or polybutylene terephthalate. That is, the first bristles 120 are made of plastic, and the coarser, stiffer bristles are better for setting eyelashes and eyebrows, suitable for thick or bushy makeup effects. Meanwhile, the second bristles 220, made of nylon or PBT, are finer and softer, making it easier to carry the product. The second bristles 220 are also elastic, ultra-fine, and soft, providing even color application, suitable for creating a natural, long effect. The combination of these two materials improves the makeup application effect, and integrating two different materials into one applicator enhances the ease of use.

[0050] Example 2: As Figure 12-13 As shown, a cosmetic container includes a combined applicator, a brush handle 300, a cap 400, a bottle body 500, and an inner stopper 600. The applicator is fixedly installed on the brush handle 300, which is also fixedly installed inside the cap 400. The inner stopper 600 is fixedly installed at the open end of the bottle body 500. The brush handle 300 is inserted into the bottle body 500, and the cap 400 is detachably fitted onto the bottle body 500. Optionally, the cap 400 is screwed or snapped onto the bottle body 500. The bottle body 500 contains the product, and the applicator is immersed in the product. In use, the cap 400 is unscrewed and the cap 500 is removed. When the applicator passes through the inner stopper 600, the inner stopper 600 scrapes off excess product from the brush handle 300 and the brush bristles, allowing the applicator to apply makeup to eyelashes and eyebrows.

[0051] like Figure 12-13 As shown, the first end of the brush rod 300 is fixedly installed inside the bottle cap 400, and the second end of the brush rod 300 has an assembly groove 310. The first rod 110 and the second rod 210 are both installed in the assembly groove 310. The joint portion 113 of the first rod 110 and the tail portion of the second rod 210 are both fixedly installed in the assembly groove 310, and the joint portion 113 and the tail portion of the second rod 210 are both interference-fitted to the brush rod 300. The fixing method between the applicator and the brush rod 300 includes at least one of spot fixing between the brush rod 300 and the first rod 110 and spot welding between the brush rod 300 and the second rod 210. Optionally, the brush rod 300 is fixed to the joint portion 113 on the first rod 110 by spot fixing. In Embodiment 2, as... Figure 13 As shown, the applicator and brush rod 300 are fixed by spot welding the brush rod 300 and the second rod 210. Figure 13 The location of the spot weld is shown in the image.

[0052] Example 3: As Figure 14-16As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 2 is that the applicator and brush handle 300 are fixed by a dotted method. Optionally, the joint 113 on the brush handle 300 and the first rod 110 is fixed by dotted points. Both the first rod 110 and the brush handle 300 are made of plastic. When dotting, the marked points on the brush handle 300 are first heated with a high-temperature hot air gun, and then welding wire is pressed into the marked points to form weld points, thereby welding and fixing the first rod 110 and the brush handle 300. Figure 15-16 The location of the dots is shown in the image.

[0053] Example 4: Figure 17-19 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 2 is that the applicator and brush handle 300 are fixed by a double method: the brush handle 300 is fixed to the first rod 110 by a dot-matrix method and the brush handle 300 is fixed to the second rod 210 by spot welding. Optionally, the joint 113 on the brush handle 300 and the first rod 110 is fixed by dot-matrix. Therefore, the bonding strength between the applicator and the brush handle 300 in this embodiment is high.

[0054] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
