Benefits of technology

The patent is about a cosmetic package that can hold a product and a tactile selected for application. It has a larger surface area than traditional applicators, allowing for more product to be applied without needing to constantly dip the swab. The package is simple to use and economical to manufacture. The technical effects of this invention are that it offers a larger surface area, provides a better user experience, and is more visually appealing.

Problems solved by technology

However, these products give a diffuse and blurred result.
The felt-tip pens and pencils require that the hairs be traced one by one, which can be tedious.
However, the product-coated hairs, eyebrows or eyelashes have a tendency to stick to one another and form unaesthetic clumps.
The above-described twisted wire brushes with soft bristles, although effective in applying mascara onto the hairs or eyelashes, cannot sufficiently separate the clumped hairs or eyelashes from one another.

FIGS. 2-6 show the applicator head 10 according to the present disclosure. As shown, the applicator head 10 comprises a first applicator member 2 and a second applicator member 3, and wherein the first applicator member 2 is configured to receive and retain the second applicator member 3. In exemplary embodiment, the first applicator member 2 is a molded applicator member and the second applicator member 3 is a twisted wire brush. The twisted wire brush 3 comprises a twisted wire core 3a and a plurality of bristles 3b extending from the core 3a. Further, the twisted wire brush 3 comprises a tip 4a, a bristled portion 4b and a tail 4c devoid of bristles 3b as seen in FIG. 5.

second embodiment

[0146]FIGS. 7-14 show a variant of the applicator head of the present disclosure according to a The applicator head 40 is similar to the applicator head 10 except in that the first applicator member of the applicator head 40 and the applicator head 10 differs in shape.

[0147]As seen in the FIGS. 7-14, the applicator head 40 comprises a first molded applicator member 42 and a second applicator member comprising a twisted wire brush 43. The molded applicator member 42 receives and retains the second applicator member 43 in a similar manner as discussed above for the first embodiment of the applicator head.

[0148]As seen in FIG. 13, the molded applicator member 42 includes a hole 47a proximate to a distal end of an arm 42d of the molded applicator member 42 which receives a tip 41a of the twisted wire brush 43 such that a distal end of the twisted wire brush 43 protrudes out from the hole 47a, and a shank 42a of the molded applicator member 42 includes a lumen 47b to receive a tail 41c ...

third embodiment

[0154]FIGS. 15-20 show a variant of the applicator head of the present disclosure according to a The applicator head 50 is similar to the applicator heads 10 and 40 except in that the molded applicator member 52 differs in shape. An arm 52d of the molded applicator member 52 extends along a central longitudinal axis X of the applicator head 50. The arm 52d is curved in the transverse axis Y of the applicator head 50. The arm 52d includes a concave inner surface 59a and a convex outer surface 59b opposite the inner concave surface 59a. The arm 52d of the molded applicator member 52 is seen to have a semi-cylindrical sidewall having a substantially C-shaped transverse cross-section (not shown) forming a substantially C-shaped concavity towards its inner surface 59a. Again, as discussed with respect to the previous embodiments, this concavity, and bristles from brush 53 extending into this concavity form a reservoir for holding product.
