Detailed description of the present invention
Fig. 1 shows mascara brush according to the invention.The brush portion of being made up of mane 10 is lined up three different parts or zone 12,14,16 in the total length of this brush: base portion 12, middle part 14 and point 16.Mane diameter, length, rigidity and density that these parts are contained in each part are distinguished to some extent, and the whole effective rigidity of result from the zone to the zone changes to some extent.Whole effective rigidity is by being limited in each part used mane diameter, length, rigidity and density, so that when other situations were identical, the closeer rarer zone, zone of mane had bigger whole effective rigidity.
The mane of all three parts of brush is installed on the metal wire 24 that its mid point is bent, thereby forms the tip 26 of brush, this metal wire with method known in this technical field around himself twisting into general helical form.The pitch of this metal spiral preferably per inch 15.0～19.0 is changeed.These line 24 core diameters approximately are 0.0270～0.0290 inch.Mane is being twisted between the line close clamped in midpoint, then from the axis of screw 24 to overhanging.At the rightabout of brush point 26, this bobbin longitudinally extends to outside the last mane of bottom 27 of brush part 10, is packed in from the hollow stem 28 that cylinder 30 stretches out, and this cylinder can play the effect of mascara box cap.
The middle part 14 of brush 10 is because this part mane 22 has the length of comparison homogeneous, so be columned substantially.The diameter at this brush middle part 14 is with about 0.325 inch or more greatly good, and preferably about 0.350 inch.This diameter is more much bigger than this diameter that the eyelash of standard dyes the cream brush, so that use the mascara of high viscosity prescription, and brush is exposed among the eyelash to greatest extent.Long, resemble used in the present invention mane, formerly once be considered to soft and can not provide apply desired rigidity of mascara and control, but, as following further specifying, the structure of three parts of the mane type that the present invention is used with and in conjunction with making so long mane to use, and keep the required rigidity of best coating mascara simultaneously.
These brush middle part column part 14 used manes 22 and 23 are two kinds at least: best at least a soft mane 23, and for use in coating mascara and at least a hard mane 22, for use in dying cream by the eyelash comb up eyelash.For each application target, it is the mane that has than low bending strength (i.e. the crooked ability of opposing) that " soft " mane is defined as, and " firmly " mane then is the mane with much bigger bending strength.The rigidity of mane changes because of its material, diameter and length.Therefore, under the identical situation of every other factor, the long mane of short mane is hard, and the thinner mane of thicker mane is hard.In addition, generally the solid mane than same material and size is soft for the mane of hollow.Used, have solid synthetic mane less than 0.004 inch diameter and be seen as " soft ", and the solid synthetic mane of 0.004 inch or larger diameter is regarded as " firmly ".
Various cross sections known to used mane can have in the art among the present invention.As shown in Figure 2, soft mane preferably has the cross section of circular, can be made as class materials such as polyamide, polyester, polyolefin by various synthetic fibers.Smear the required pliability of mascara in order to provide, the diameter of this soft mane fiber with about 0.001～0.002 inch for well.As shown in Figure 3, hard mane preferably is similar to the irregular section of natural goats hair or noncircular cross section, and these fibers can make by above-mentioned any material is synthetic.Preferred hard mane has about 0.004～0.006 inch diameter, the most preferably is to have 0.005 inch diameter.
Hard mane that matches 22 and the soft mane 23 of forming this brush middle part 14 together pass branch of twisting zygonema axle 24 and the midpoint that is clamped at them.The mane 22 and 23 at middle part 14 can be adorned more closely than any one mane 18,20 among two ends 12 and 16 more or less.The density of middle part 14 hard manes 22 is about 5～10 on every circle, and that the density of the soft mane 23 at middle part 14 is about 18～32 on every circle is more desirable.In one embodiment, hard mane 22 density are about 13～24/every circle, and the density of soft mane 23 reaches 18/every circle approximately.
In a preferred embodiment, the hard mane 22 in the middle part 14 is stretched out with non-spiral arrangement by bobbin 24, and the whole middle 14 that this scroll is arranged in this brush forms more plentiful more uniform mane distribution.
Each end 12 and 16 of this brush 10 is made up of one or more manes.In a preferred embodiment, end 12 and 16 mane are the manes that is different from middle part 14.A kind of preferred mane type is the tubular fiber in hollow circular cross section as shown in Figure 4. Mane 18 and 20 known be by various synthetic materials, as polyamide, polyester and polyolefin are made, and various diameters can be arranged.A preferred embodiment uses external diameter to be about 0.004～0.006 inch, is more preferably the hollow nylon fiber that is about 0.005 inch.
Alternatively, be applied to end 12 with 16 or one of them mane type in a kind of diameter and rigidity identical with a kind of diameter and rigidity in these brush middle part 14 used mane types.Yet in this embodiment, any one end does not all comprise the sort of mane combination identical with the middle part.For example, this middle part 14 can include mane A and mane B, and end 12 and 16 can be mane A entirely, but does not contain mane B.Alternatively be, point 16 can comprise mane A, and bottom 12 can contain mane B, and vice versa.
In a preferred embodiment, the combination of the mane of bottom 12 is different from the combination of point 16, thereby makes the diameter and the rigidity that are contained at least a mane kind in the bottom 12 be different from diameter and the rigidity that is used in the mane in the point 16.For example, point 16 can play the effect of the instrument of currying effectively, and can need than the firmer class mane of mane that is used in the bottom 12.
This brush end 12 and 16 used fibers 18 and 20 are clamped between bobbin 24 branch lines at the some place therein.The fiber that is known that hollow have expand outwardly song that V-arrangement roughly arranges to, thereby in this brush finish, cause a kind of mane disorder distribution.But in the present invention, preferably the end 12 of this brush and 16 keeps helical to arrange.Therefore, when in the end 12 and 16 at this brush during, bristle densities must be adjusted to such an extent that guarantee to have spiral arrangement substantially at these both ends with the hollow mane.
As shown in Figure 5, one or two in the end 12 and 16 of this brush preferably all is designed to have the tapering of a point, shortens gradually than the mane 20 with the middle part 14 of its next-door neighbour's brush 10 so that this brushes mane 18 of arbitrary end.With will be different with the brush of ellipse or rugby ball shape, the pointed cone degree of this preferred embodiment significantly with this brush end 12 and 16 and middle part 14 differentiate.This pointed cone has several advantages.For example, most advanced and sophisticated 16 is useful as the instrument that reaches the formation pattern that bight and the very thin eyelash by palpebra inferior curry.On the other hand, the weak point of bottom 12 and the effect of hard mane are, reach the long of middle part 14 at the opening of mascara container, softer mane 22, before 23, by removing the unnecessary mascara that amasss at this opening part, and the middle part 14 that will brush when this container takes out this brush certainly keeps relatively totallyer.These functions are further strengthened owing to the difference of interregional whole effective rigidity.
Therefore, though being the preferred embodiment of passing through, the present invention is illustrated, but for those of ordinary skill in the art, can carry out various changes under the situation of the present invention and modification is conspicuous not departing from, be intended to cover all these classes change and remodeling that fall in connotation of the present invention and the scope at this.
