[0043] Embodiment: As illustrated in Figures 1 to 13, an applicator comprises a first application component 10 and a second component application component 20. The first application component 10 comprises a first rod 11 and a first brush 12 fixedly attached to the first rod 11. The second application component 20 comprises a second rod 21 and a second brush 22 fixedly attached to the second rod 21. The second rod 21 is telescopically mounted along the axial direction of the first application component 10 on the first rod 11. The first rod 11 and the second rod 21 are connected by fusion welding. As illustrated in [Fig.l], the X axis is defined as the radial direction of the first application component 10, and the Y axis is defined as the axial direction of the first application component 10. The second rod 21 is mounted along the Y axis on the first rod 11. In addition, the second rod 21 and the first rod 11 are fusion welded together.Thus, the connection between the first application component 10 and the second application component 20 is strong, which effectively reduces the risk of detachment of the second application component 20 in the axial direction of the first application component 10. In the present invention, the applicator assembled from the first application component 10 and the second application component 20 is equipped with a first brush 12 and a second brush 22, which have different target properties in terms of density, length, diameter and hardness, thereby reducing the number of makeup applicators required and simplifying the makeup process in different makeup needs.

[0044] As illustrated in Figures 2 and 8, the first rod 1 is provided with a groove 16 in the axial direction, and the second rod 21 is mounted in the groove 16. The first rod has an elongated structure with a groove 16 open in a loop along its axial direction. Optionally, the groove 16 may have a U-shaped structure, and the second rod 21 may also have a U-shaped structure, thereby fitting inside the groove 16 to ensure a closer fit between the second application component 20 and the first application component 10, while providing a compact and aesthetic overall structure for the applicator.

[0045] As illustrated in Figures 8 to 10, a fixing block 15 is arranged in the groove 16 on at least one side of the first rod 11.

[0046] The first rod 11 and the second rod 21 are connected by fusion welding, which means that the fixing block 15 is welded to the second rod 21. The presence of the fixing block 15 in the groove 16 on at least one side of the first rod 11 can be achieved in three different ways, as illustrated in [Fig. 8]. First, the fixing block is arranged in the groove 16 on the first side of the first rod 11. Second, the fixing block is arranged in the groove 16 on the second side of the first rod 11. Third, the fixing block 15 is arranged in the grooves 16 on both sides of the first rod 11. Optionally, the fixing block 15 can be arranged in the grooves 16 on both sides of the first rod 11, so that the fixing blocks 15 on both sides of the first rod 11 are all welded and fixed to the second rod 21, thus ensuring a more solid connection between the two. The second rod 21 is made of metal material, while the fixing block 15 is made of plastic. During the fusion welding process, since the second rod 21 is made of metal, it can be heated by an electric current to increase its temperature. The plastic part of the fixing block 15 in contact with the second rod 21 will melt at a high temperature. After cooling, the fixing block 15 solidifies and envelops the second rod 21, thus ensuring its welding fixation.

[0047] As illustrated in [Fig. 8], the fixing block 15 has a solid structure and its outer surface is in contact with the second rod 21, protruding radially therefrom. The solid fixing block 15 is arranged inside the groove 16, and the number of fixing blocks 15 is not limited. Optionally, the number of fixing blocks 15 may be 2 to 6. [Fig. 5] shows an example with 3 fixing blocks 15. A possible embodiment of the outer surface of the fixing blocks protruding radially from the second rod 21 is illustrated in Figures 3 and 6, where the width of the outer surface of the fixing blocks is greater than the maximum diameter of the second rod in contact therewith, thus ensuring a large contact area between the two. Another possibility is that the fixing blocks 15 have through holes, and the second rod 21 is inserted into the through holes.Thus, after fusion welding of the second rod 21 and the fixing blocks 15, the second rod 21 is fully enveloped by the fixing blocks, which further improves the strength of their connection. As illustrated in [Fig. 10], the thickness T of the fixing block 15 is [value], and the width W of the fixing block 15 is [value]. By limiting the fixing block 15 to these dimensions, it can be ensured that the contact surface between the fixing block and the second rod meets the welding requirements.

[0048] As illustrated in Figures 8-11, the first rod 11 is provided with a first surface 13 and a second surface 14 arranged oppositely. The first surface 13 and the second surface 14 are provided with a first brush 12, and a groove 16 is provided on the first rod 11 between the first surface 13 and the second surface 14. The first brush 12 on the first surface 13 has different target characteristics than the first brush 12 on the second surface 14, the target characteristics including at least one of density, length, diameter, and hardness. For example, the first surface 13 may be provided with denser and shorter first brushes 12, while the second surface 14 may be provided with sparser and longer first brushes 12, in order to meet the needs of different users and different manufacturing stages. bowling, thereby enriching the usability features of the applicator. Optionally, the base of the first brush 12 is attached to the first rod 11, the head of the first brush 12 extends in a direction away from the first rod 11 and constitutes the free end, and the diameter of the base of the first brush 12 is greater than the diameter of the head of the first brush 12.

[0049] The first rod 11, the first brush 12 and the fixing block 15 are formed from a single piece of plastic, the second rod 21 is made of metal, and the second brush 22 is made of nylon or polybutylene terephthalate. Since the second rod 21 is made of metal, it can be heated by an electric current, which melts the plastic fixing block in contact with the second rod 21. After cooling, the fixing block solidifies again, thus ensuring their assembly. Optionally, the bristles of the second brush 22 are made of nylon. In this exemplary embodiment, the first application component 10 is a single-piece molded plastic part, the second application component 20 is made of metal, and the second brush 22 is made of nylon.When using, the user can first apply a layer of mascara to the eyelashes or eyebrows with the plastic bristles, and then use the nylon bristles to brush the small eyelashes in the corners of the eyes, making the eyelashes or eyebrows neat and bright. With the soft texture of the nylon bristles, they can fully contact the eyelashes, improving the makeup effect. When using this applicator, if the user is not satisfied with the shape of the eyelashes or eyebrows, they can quickly reshape them with the plastic bristles, and then refine them with the nylon bristles. Thus, this applicator provides good makeup results, high efficiency, and can be used for various makeup needs, expanding its application scope.

[0050] As illustrated in Figures 12-13, the second application component 20 comprises a first rod section 23, a second rod section 24, and a connecting section 25. The ends of the connecting section 25 are fixed to the first end of the first rod section 23 and the first end of the second rod section 24, respectively, and the second end of the first rod section 23 and the second end of the second rod section 24 are all free ends. The first rod section 23 and the second rod section 24 are located on the same side of the connecting section 25, and the second brush 22 is present on the connecting section 25. The second brush 22 is also present on the first rod section 23 and the second rod section 24. Optionally, a portion close to the connecting section 25 of the first rod section 23 and the second rod section 24 is equipped with the second brush 22.As illustrated in [Fig. 12], the second application component 21 has an overall U-shaped structure.

[0051] The applicator also comprises a brush rod into which the first application component 11 is inserted and secured to the brush rod. The junction between the first application component 11 and the brush rod is located inside the brush rod. The first application component 11 and the brush rod may be secured together by points, snaps, adhesives, etc. Optionally, both the first application component 11 and the brush rod are made of plastic and are secured by points. Since the first application component 11 and the second application component 21 are secured by welding, and the junction between the two is located inside the brush rod, their assembly is more solid, thus reducing the risk of separation.When the first applicator component and the second applicator component are assembled into the brush rod, the second applicator component will not detach from the brush rod, which extends the life of the applicator.

[0052] A method of manufacturing an applicator comprises the following steps:

[0053] an assembly step consisting of inserting the second rod of the second component application component 20 in the axial direction of the first application component 10, the first application component 10 comprising the first rod 11;

[0054] a powering step consisting of supplying current to the second rod to melt the fixing block 15 made of plastic material in contact with the second rod 21, the first application component 11 being provided with a fixing block 15;

[0055] a welding step consisting of cutting off the power supply to the second rod 21, cooling the fixing block 15 and welding it to the second rod 21;

[0056] an assembly step of assembling the welded first application component 11 into the brush rod. The first application component 11 and the brush rod may be secured together by points, snaps or adhesives, and the junction between the first application component 11 and the second rod 21 is located inside the brush rod.

[0057] The assembly process includes:

[0058] As illustrated in [Fig. 14], take a rectangular rod of second application component 21, the second application component 21 having both sides equipped with second brush 22, the second application component 21 being made of metal material; a possible embodiment where both sides of the second application component 21 are equipped with second brush 22 is as follows: the range where the second brush 22 is located on the first side of the second application component 21 is in the range of 0° to 180° in the circumferential direction of the second application component 21, and the range where the second brush 22 is located on the second side is in the range of 180° to 360° in the circumferential direction of the second application component 21, i.e. both sides are completely covered with the second brush 22 in the entire circumferential direction of the second application component 21;

[0059] Cutting the roots of the second brush 22 on the first side along the base of the second brush 22, keeping the roots of the second brush 22 connected to the second application component 21 and keeping the second brush 22 on the second side;

[0060] Folding the second application component 21 into a U-shaped structure, the second brush 22 of the second side being located outside the second application component 21;

[0061] Obtaining by injection a first application component 10 made of plastic formed in one piece, the first application component 10 having a groove 16 along the axial direction on the first application component 11, and a solid fixing block 15 being disposed inside the groove 16;

[0062] Insert the folded second application component 21 onto the first application component 11 and place the second application component 21 inside the groove 16 of the first application component 11.

[0063] In this configuration, the electrification process comprises:

[0064] Fixing the second application component 21 using a clamping device so that the first rod section 23 and the second rod section 24 are in contact with the fixing block 15, the second application component 21 comprising the first rod section 23 and the second rod section 24;

[0065] As illustrated in [Fig. 15], connect two electrodes E of different polarities respectively to the first rod section 23 and the second rod section 24, so that the second application component 21 is electrified and heated. The heated second application component 21 melts the fixing block 15. [Fig. 16] shows the state of the fixing block 15, the first rod section 23 and the second rod section 24 before heating; After the power supply is cut off, as illustrated in [Fig. 17], the fixing block 15 cools and solidifies, thereby welding to the second application component 21.

[0066] The characteristic of this manufacturing method lies in the use of a second application component 21 made of metallic material and a fixing block 15 made of plastic on the first application component 11. Two electrodes of different polarities are connected to the second application component 21, which makes it possible to electrify and heat the second application component 21. After the temperature rises, the second application component 21 in contact with the fixing block 15 melts, then after the power supply is cut off, the fixing block 15 solidifies again and welds to the second application component 21. By Therefore, the connection between the first application component 10 and the second application component 20 is strong, which effectively reduces the risk of detachment of the second application component 20 from the first application component 10. In this invention, a fixing block is provided on the first application component 10, and fusion and welding with the second application component are performed by the fixing block, which does not damage the structure of other parts of the second application component and reduces the difficulty of the fusion process. This is suitable for manufacturing various types of applicators.

[0067] It should be noted that, for ordinary persons in the technical field, it is possible to make several modifications and improvements without departing from the idea of ​​this invention, and these are within the scope of protection of this invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present patent invention should be determined by the appended claims.
