Summary of the invention

When applicator comprises a plurality of different applicator surface, need to improve identification to selected applicator surface, make up so that can implement more easily.

The present invention also is to make the user can produce desired different dressing effects with simple and safe mode.

In example embodiment, the present invention provides a kind of applicator that is used for cosmetic products, cosmetic product or skincare product are applied to keratin material (particularly eyelashes or eyebrow), and this applicator comprises:

Coating member, this coating member is used to apply said composition, and limits at least two different applicator surface, and said applicator surface is configured to said composition is applied to eyelashes or eyebrow;

The handle of applicator, this handle extends along the longitudinal axis of handle; And

The bar handle, this bar handle connects said coating member and said handle, along the longitudinal axis extension of this bar handle;

The longitudinal axis of handle is positioned as and can not regulates with respect to the longitudinal axis of bar handle; Applicator comprises not at coating member on one's body marking element originally; This marking element is positioned in during the coating towards the user; Coating member has the predetermined angular location with respect to marking element, makes by the applicator position of marking element indication consistent with the predetermined applicator surface of use.

In example embodiment, the present invention also provides a kind of applicator that is used for cosmetic products, cosmetic product or skincare product are applied to keratin material (particularly eyelashes or eyebrow), and said applicator comprises:

Coating member, this coating member is used to apply said composition, and is configured to apply said composition to eyelashes, eyebrow or lip;

The longitudinal axis of handle is positioned as and can not regulates with respect to the longitudinal axis of bar handle, and coating member has the position, angle that marks with respect to handle, and for this reason, marking element is presented on the handle.

Said applicator can be included at least one applicator surface that the handle marked goes out.

Also can obtain gratifying dressing effect the user when not being very skilled even make according to the applicator of example embodiment of the present invention.

The present invention is advantageously feasible can to help the user to use applicator, and makes the user to select the orientation of coating member with respect to quilt cosmetic surface, rather than adopts the random orientations of coating member.

Coating member is about the longitudinal axis of coating member and axial symmetry not necessarily.On the contrary, under suitable situation, coating member can have the plane of one or more symmetries.The enveloping surface that is limited the free end of coating member is axial symmetry not necessarily.

In example embodiment of the present invention, coating member limits at least two different applicator surface.

The longitudinal axis of coating member can be straight line and consistent with the longitudinal axis of the bar handle that can be similarly straight line.

Coating member can comprise two or more applicator surface, for example, can have two applicator surface of location against each other.Coating member can also comprise the applicator surface of three or more a plurality of adjacency.Applicator surface is extended along the longitudinal axis of applicator.

Generally speaking; Term " applicator surface " is used to represent the longitudinal region of coating member; The continuous angle zone that this longitudinal region occupies about the longitudinal axis (for example occupies at least 45 °; For example about 180 °) or other sector, angle (for example be in 45 ° to 210 ° the scope, perhaps according to the quantity of applicator surface, be in 60 ° to 210 ° the scope).First applicator surface and second applicator surface can be limited on the plane of the longitudinal axis that comprises said core, the mid-plane of core for example, and this plane can be the mid-plane of the symmetry of core.Coating member can comprise the two halves of making by different way, particularly has different implantation modes.

Applicator surface is used for contacting with keratin material, simultaneously coating composition.Different applicator surface (applicator surface that promptly has different qualities) can make it possible to the dressing effect that reaches different.

Applicator surface can longitudinal extension less than the length of 4 centimetres (cm).

Coating member can only have two applicator surface respect to one another.In single applicator surface, the element that is used to apply is identical, and these elements can for example be arranged to have the row of spacing, and said spacing is identical for all row relevant with this applicator surface.

Applicator surface is corresponding to a side of coating member.Applicator surface can distribute about the core of coating member, is evenly to distribute alternatively.

Generally speaking, coating member need be about the symmetry of the mid-plane between the applicator surface of coating member.

The applicator element (for example tooth or bristle) that coating member can comprise core and carried by core.For example, tooth can be arranged to delegation or multirow more on core.Term " bristle " or " tooth " are used to represent outstanding individually element.Bristle or tooth can be processed through the molded and shaped of thermoplastic, for example by processing with the material identical materials in the zone of the core that carries bristle or tooth.Term " bristle " or " tooth " are interchangeable, even term " tooth " is generally used for referring to the applicator element through the molded and shaped coating member of processing that and term " bristle " is generally used for referring to the applicator element of twisting core brush.

Term " different applicator surface " be appreciated that expression about core and applicator element one of at least and the applicator surface that differs from one another.For example, applicator surface possibly be in the difference aspect the applicator element: the material of the thickness of the shape of the layout of applicator element on core, applicator element, the length of applicator element, applicator element, the shape of cross section of applicator element, applicator element, the processing that applicator element possibly receive, applicator element be quantity of applicator element, the quantity of the applicator element on applicator surface, the row layout relative to each other of applicator element in layout in each row, the row at it; And/or applicator surface possibly be in the difference aspect the said core: the vertical sectional shape of the shape of core, the shape of cross section of core, core, the length of core, the thickness of core.

For example, two of coating member applicator surface are maybe be different the vpg connection of the enveloping surface that free end limited of their applicator elements separately.For example, it is more flat to be compared to the enveloping surface of another face for the enveloping surface of a face.

At least two applicator surface are except differing from one another the recessed shape of its enveloping surface or protrusion vpg connection.

When coating member had the crooked longitudinal axis, after the axle of this bending became directly, at least two coated surfaces can differ from one another.

Coating member can comprise two different relative applicator surface, perhaps three different applicator surface (for example being arranged to triangle), perhaps four or more a plurality of different applicator surface.

Coating member can comprise the twisting core that keeps bristle and/or through the molded and shaped core of processing and carry tooth.

Marking element can comprise at least one mark, and this mark makes and can coating member be notified to the user with respect to user's eyes and/or handle and then with respect to the orientation of user's hand.

Marking element be not placed in coating member originally on one's body, for example, marking element is placed on bar handle or the handle.

Term " mark " is appreciated that one or more indication of expression, and said indication makes the user can distinguish applicator with respect to user's hand and/or at least two diverse locations of eyes.

For example, mark can comprise: one or more sign (alphanumeric, numeral, literal, icon or symbol), scale or outstanding zigzag fashion or protrusion shape, or possibly have at least one zone on surface of the handle of different surfaces state, color and/or sense of touch.For example, mark can be an embossment.

For example, mark can be made up of half of handle, and for example said handle comprises two kinds of colors or comprise the two parts with different surfaces outward appearance, and for example a part has the outward appearance of non-polishing and another part has the outward appearance that light is arranged.

At least one mark can be processed or can process through some alternate manners through printing (for example through serigraphy).

In a modification, perhaps additionally, marking element can be limited the shape of handle.In example embodiment more of the present invention, handle does not need the circumference symmetry, and especially, handle need be for not cylindrical.

The shape of handle makes thumb and other fingers can place on the handle, for example places the flat of said handle, can be easily and hold applicator intuitively to impel the user, and with location, the surface applicator that is easy to respect to made up.

For example, handle can comprise flat, and along being smooth with the parallel or vertical plane of the mid-plane of coating member.For example, this mid-plane can separate two of coating member different applicator surface.Mark can be this flat.

Can be as an alternative, mark can be different with flat.

Mark for example can place on the handle, around the longitudinal axis perpendicular to the flat of this handle.

For example, for coating member, mid-plane can be two separation plane that the zone separates with the core of coating member, and for example, each zone is processed by different materials and seen, perhaps each zone comprises that the difference of different applicator elements implants mode.The implantation mode of applicator element on the single zone of core can be constant.Term " implantation mode " is appreciated that layout, spacing in the ranks, the row of tooth in the orientation, row of tooth in the number of teeth, row of the line number that includes but not limited to tooth, the every row orientation with respect to the longitudinal axis.

When coating member comprises two different applicator surface; Handle can comprise one or two flat, and perhaps when coating member comprised three different applicator surface, handle can comprise three flats; Perhaps when coating member comprises four or more a plurality of different applicator surface; Handle can comprise four or more a plurality of flat, and for example, handle can comprise the as many flat of different applicator surface with coating member.

The bar handle can be connected to coating member at first end.At second end, the bar handle can be connected to the handle main body that limits gripping surface, and perhaps, in a modification, the bar handle is connected at second end and is configured to fasten (snap-fastened) or be press-fitted (force-fitted) fastener cap in handle main body.

At least one connection in the connection between the main body of the connection between the connection between coating member and the bar handle, bar handle and the optional fastener cap and optional fastener cap and handle can comprise positioner or Any shape; It not exclusively be that circumference is symmetrical, and the position, mutual angle of guaranteeing two elements can combine the consideration of assembly process the time.

The bar handle, be used for the extremity piece of the coating member of coating member fastening on the bar handle and at least one of extremity piece of being used for the bar handle is fixed on the bar handle on the handle can comprise positioner; It for example can be formed by non-circular cross section; For example comprise groove or flat, so that can indicate coating member with respect to handle.

The shape of the cross section of at least one in the extremity piece of the extremity piece of bar handle, coating member and bar handle is circle or the polygon (for example triangle or square) for having groove or having one or two flat for example.

The extremity piece of the extremity piece of coating member, bar handle or bar handle are used for cooperating with the corresponding housing that is formed on bar handle, fastener cap or handle, so that can suitably locate coating member with respect to the marking element that is presented on the handle.

In cross section, the bar handle can be on the major part at least of its length or on its whole length, be round-shaped.

In some example embodiment, handle can comprise the rotating part with respect to the base portion rotation.Base portion can be fixed to the bar handle and be fixed to coating member, and rotating part is movable with respect to coating member.Marking element (for example mark) can be placed on base portion and/or the rotating part.

Marking element (for example mark) can be placed in two parts, and through rotating rotating part with respect to base portion, the additional location indication that is arranged on another part of said two parts is oriented to towards mark selected.

Additional indication can be set on the rotating part or on the base portion.

For example, additional indication can be arrow, window, otch, and through rotating rotating part with respect to base portion, this additional indication can be indicated and selected which mark.

The orientation of the rotating part of handle not necessarily changes the orientation of coating member with respect to base portion.

For example, rotating part can with respect to base portion along with the direction in the opposite direction that is used to open the container that comprises composition on rotate, the direction of outwarding winding is then opposite.Can said two parts be configured such that the user can only rotate rotating part in one direction with respect to base portion, thereby can when selected marker, accident not open container.

For example, each in rotating part and the base portion all can be extended along the longitudinal axis, and said two longitudinal axis possibly be parallel to each other or overlap, and for example overlaps with the longitudinal axis of handle, and be especially, irrelevant with respect to the angle of base portion rotation with rotating part.

The rotating part of handle and at least one in the base portion can comprise abutment (abutment) or press buckle device, make and can rotating part be positioned on two corresponding positions of the applicator surface different with at least two with respect to base portion at least.

For example, one in rotating part and the base portion needn't be for cylindrical, and for example, it can comprise one or more flat as stated.Rotation makes it possible to impel the user to locate said flat with respect to mark and with respect to desirable applicator surface.

Coating member can comprise the twisting core that keeps bristle.For twisting core brush, applicator surface can with the edge of the enveloping surface that the end limited of the bristle of coating member, or be present in around said core be before and after the edge of the enveloping surface that the end limited of bristle between in succession two edges consistent.

Traditionally, between two branches wiry that bristle inserted doubling, the said branch of twisting then, thus make the end of bristle extend with the form of helical form layer, to make twisting core brush.

When coating member comprised the twisting core that keeps bristle, coating member was not that axisymmetric situation means that the enveloping surface that is limited the end that remains on the bristle in the twisting core is not axisymmetric.Do not remain on the reason that the bristle in the twisting core distributes owing to the twisting spirality no thanks to for axial symmetry.

Under suitable situation, the enveloping surface of brush needn't be about the longitudinal axis circumference symmetry of core when being stretched for the purpose of observing.

Coating member can be made through molded and shaped (for example injection mo(u)lding).

In a modification, perhaps additionally, coating member can comprise the flocking of being carried by core, for example makes through molded and shaped (for example thermoplastic is molded and shaped).

Core can be flexible, is constructed to when being forced into the cosmetic surface or through wiper member the time, be out of shape.In the modification, core can come down to rigidity.

Coating member can with the Unitarily molded moulding of bar handle.

Coating member can comprise the part of overlapping mold pressing, and for example through dual injection moulding, for example tooth is embossed on the core, for example is made from a variety of materials.

In example embodiment more of the present invention, coating member can comprise from the first applicator surface longitudinal extension first the row tooth, and from the second applicator surface longitudinal extension second the row tooth.

Half every capable number of teeth that has at least of first row can be different with the half at least every capable number of teeth of second row.

By the first area carry first the row in each row can have the identical number of teeth, and by second area carry second the row in each the row also can have the identical number of teeth, first the row number of teeth n ₁Number of teeth n with second row ₂Different.N for example ₁/ n ₂>=1.3, perhaps n ₁/ n ₂>=1.5, perhaps n ₁/ n ₂>=1.8, perhaps n ₁/ n ₂>=2.

In each row that is supported by first applicator surface or second applicator surface, tooth can contact in fact, and for example the spacing between two continuous teeth is less than or equal to 0.1 millimeter (mm).Spacing and two continuous teeth, the minimum clearance between their outer surface at base portion place is corresponding.

Each row tooth can comprise the tooth of complete matching.In a modification, each row tooth comprises a succession of tooth that is provided with the cross structure mode.

The number of teeth m of first applicator surface ₁Can be greater than the number of teeth m of second applicator surface ₂, for example have m ₁/ m ₂More than or equal to 1.3, perhaps m ₁/ m ₂More than or equal to 1.5, perhaps m ₁/ m ₂More than or equal to 1.75 or more than or equal to 2.

For example, the first row tooth is more than the every capable tooth that the second row tooth comprises.

The first row tooth can comprise and the different tooth of the second row transverse tooth thickness degree.

In example embodiment more of the present invention, half tooth at least that is carried by first applicator surface can have thickness e ₁And length l ₁, and can have thickness e 2 and length l 2 by half tooth at least that second applicator surface is carried, have e ₁≠ e ₂And and l ₁≠ l ₂

In example embodiment of the present invention, at least one in the different shapes that are them at least, length, thickness, material, hardness, line space and/or the capable orientation of the first row tooth and the second row tooth is different.

Generally speaking, for all coating members, core not necessarily supports the tooth of other row except first row and second row.

In example embodiment of the present invention, from first applicator surface most of even whole tooth that extends and the most of even whole tooth that extends from second applicator surface different be their shape, length, thickness, material, hardness, line space and/or go the orientation at least one is different.

In the foundation applicator of example embodiment of the present invention; After identifying the face that will use; The user can adopt first applicator surface or adopt second applicator surface to come coating composition to realize desirable dressing effect; Perhaps, even can adopt an applicator surface that identifies to come coating composition, use another applicator surface comb up eyelash or eyebrow then.Therefore, can depend on that cosmetic step (that is, composition is applied to eyelashes, perhaps separate, extension or curling eyelashes) selects the applicator surface that will use.Through adopting single applicator, can obtain wide various dressing effect.

Generally speaking, term " longitudinal axis of core " is appreciated that the line of the center of gravity (barycenter) of the cross section of connection-core.In some cases, the longitudinal axis can be a central shaft, perhaps, when core demonstrates the cross section of the overall shape with regular polygon or circle, is the symmetry axis of core particularly.The longitudinal axis can be straight or curved.Core can be placed in the middle, and promptly all teeth stretch out from core, all around core.

Core is in the inside of each row tooth, and can be placed in the middle or eccentric with respect to each row tooth.

Coating member can be molded and shaped by homogenous material.The first row tooth and the second row tooth extend to limit applicator surface from the first area and the second area of core; Therefore first area and second area can be processed by identical materials; Perhaps; (if necessary) is made from a variety of materials in a modification, particularly processes by having materials of different colors, thereby also makes the user can be easier to discern the face that will adopt.For example, handle comprises the mark that color is identical with the color of applicator surface respectively.These two kinds of materials can belong to identical polymer group.For example, different but these two kinds of materials can have identical chemical characteristic hardness.For example; These two kinds of materials can be the for example thermoplastic polyester elastomer for

of trade name, the perhaps polyether block amide of commodity by name.When coating member was processed by two kinds of materials, these two kinds of materials for example can have different mechanical performances, and particularly aspect hardness, for example a kind of material is than another kind of material softer, even these two kinds of materials can have various colors.The material of an applicator surface or the material of another applicator surface, or the two, with tooth different hardness can be arranged with respect to core.

The tooth that the tooth that first tooth is capable and second tooth are capable can be manufactured from the same material, and perhaps in a modification, can be made from a variety of materials.

First area tooth during first tooth is capable and said core, that limit first applicator surface can be processed by identical materials.Second area tooth during second tooth is capable and said core, that limit second applicator surface can be processed by identical materials.Tooth during first tooth is capable can be by processing with at least a portion material different of the first area of core.

In first area and the second area at least one can present constant substantially cross section along the longitudinal axis (particularly at least on a part of length of coating member).

In a modification, at least one of first area and second area can present the cross section that changes along the longitudinal axis.

On at least a portion length, the zone of core and/or core can present the cross section of the shape that is selected from following tabulation: circle, semicircle, ellipse, half elliptic, polygon, triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon, hexagon, octagon and half polygon.This shape can change along the longitudinal axis of core.

When the longitudinal axis about core rotates; When for example between two adjacent lines, turning over identical angle; Perhaps in a modification, for example turning over not constant angles always but during the multiple of given angular separation, each first tooth capable (first rows of teeth) can be mirror image each other.When the longitudinal axis about core turned over any constant angle, second tooth is capable can be mirror image each other.

In example embodiment of the present invention, applicator thereby comprise:

Core along longitudinal axis elongation, comprises the opposing first regions and the second area that extend along the longitudinal axis;

Length is capable less than the tooth of 1.8mm, is supported by the first area, limits first applicator surface;

Length is capable greater than the tooth of 1.8mm, is supported by second area, limits second applicator surface, and at least one in first applicator surface and second applicator surface is identified on handle.

Generally speaking, the end of the tooth that first tooth is capable can limit the first half enveloping surfaces of applicator, and the end of the tooth that second tooth is capable limits the second half enveloping surfaces of applicator, and for example, the first half enveloping surfaces have different shapes with the second half enveloping surfaces.

The lateral dimension that can have, for example a diameter in two and half enveloping surfaces of applicator less than the maximum of 5.5mm.In two and half enveloping surfaces another can have the maximum transverse size of in 5.7mm to 10mm scope (for example about 6.5mm to 7mm), for example diameter.

At least one tooth is capable can be by being disposed on the core with the capable different mode of another tooth, and the difference that these two teeth are capable is one of following mode at least: the length of tooth; The thickness of the implantation mode of tooth in the spacing of tooth in the row, the row, the number of teeth in the row, the tooth measured perpendicular to the length direction of tooth, the material that forms tooth, the shape of tooth, the shape of cross section of tooth.

The capable tooth of first tooth can spaced apart first spacing, and the capable tooth of second tooth can spaced apart second spacing, and first spacing is different from second spacing, particularly less than second spacing.

The tooth that first tooth is capable is compared the capable tooth of second tooth can have littler thickness.From measure the width of tooth apart from the core same distance,, promptly measure at the base portion place of tooth for example from measuring apart from the core zero distance.

The tooth that first tooth is capable is compared the capable tooth of second tooth can have bigger thickness, and can be by processing than the harder material of material of tooth of second row.On the contrary, the tooth of first row can be thinner, and can be by processing than the softer material of material of tooth of second row.

The tooth that the tooth that first tooth is capable and second tooth are capable not necessarily will be set in their row with respect to core in an identical manner.

Most of tooth of applicator can have the thickness of scope at 0.2mm to 0.5mm or 0.5mm to 0.65mm.Term " thickness of tooth " is used for representing the maximum cross section of tooth.Under first kind of situation, in the time of promptly in thickness is 0.2mm to 0.5mm scope, tooth is thinner relatively, and when the material that is used for making tooth was flexible material, tooth also can be soft relatively.Under second kind of situation, in the time of promptly in thickness is 0.5mm to 0.65mm scope, the thicker and stiffened more of tooth.

For example, can select the thickness of tooth according to the rheology of the type of desirable dressing effect and/or the eyelashes character that will handle and/or the composition that is used to apply.

Applicator can only comprise the tooth of thickness in 0.2mm to 0.5mm scope, perhaps in a modification, only comprises the thickness strictness that has greater than 0.5mm and less than the tooth of 0.65mm, even can two kinds all comprises.For example; Tooth with specific thicknesses possibly mix with the tooth with other thickness; Perhaps in a modification; Tooth with specific thicknesses can be organized together in a zone of coating member, organizes together in another zone of coating member (for example relative with the first area) and have the tooth of other thickness.

Term " length of tooth " is used to refer to along the free end of the tooth of the length direction measurement of tooth and the distance between the base portion, and tooth is connected to core through base portion.The length of tooth begins to measure from the core of coating member.

All teeth in the part of coating member can have identical length, but every end in the coating member two ends near tooth except.

For example, applicator can comprise 150 to 500 teeth.

As stated, tooth can be arranged to along the row of the longitudinal axis extension of core.Term " OK " is used for representing being positioned at generally the same example of core and along core in succession a succession of tooth each other.For example, applicator can comprise that at least three teeth that extend along the longitudinal axis are capable, and for example 3 to 20 teeth are capable.

All teeth of first applicator surface are capable can to comprise the tooth that contacts substantially in the single row.This is equally applicable to the tooth of second row of second applicator surface.

For example, each applicator surface that on coating member, is labeled can comprise the three rows of teeth at least of extending along the longitudinal axis, and line number half-and-half distributes between applicator surface.For example, first applicator surface or second applicator surface can comprise 3 to 8 row teeth.

The capable tooth that can have at least three equal length of tooth along longitudinal axis extension.In tooth was capable, the number of teeth can be in about scope of 6 to 60, particularly in about scope of 10 to 50.At least one tooth is capable can be extended along linear axis, and linear axis can be parallel to the longitudinal axis of core alternatively.At least at least two teeth in the delegation can have similar and different length.At least at least two teeth in the delegation can have similar and different shape.At least at least one tooth in the delegation can have towards the tapered overall shape of its free end.At least one tooth can be taper, conical butt or pyramid.At least one tooth in the delegation can have with another the row in the different shape of tooth.

When along the axial spotting core of core; Two teeth in the delegation can extend along the direction that between them, forms first angle at its base portion; And two teeth in another row can extend along the direction that between them, forms second angle at its base portion, and first angle and second angle are identical or different.

In every row, tooth can along the row the longitudinal axis be evenly spaced apart, perhaps they can be combined with the group of two or more teeth, along the row the longitudinal axis in the spacing between one group of tooth less than the spacing between two of this row adjacent tooth groups.

Through the shape of adjustment tooth and their spacing, can between tooth, set up the cavity of greater or lesser size, such cavity is suitable for loading composition.Therefore, can form delegation's tooth that can load considerable composition, but can not reduce the ability of catching eyelashes of this row tooth.

Two capable can processing of tooth by corresponding different materials.In addition, the tooth of single tooth in capable can be processed by different materials (the for example material of different hardness or color).

During tooth is capable at least two continuous teeth can be alternatively in their base portion contact, all teeth did not contact or in their base portion contact during tooth was capable.The base portion place of tooth record but not between the axle at tooth the tooth that records capable in spacing between the tooth can be in 0 to 1.2mm scope, for example in the scope of 0.01mm to 1mm.When said tooth during with the contact of its base portion, the spacing between the tooth that then records at the base portion place of tooth is zero.

When from the side perpendicular to the axial spotting applicator of applicator, at least two teeth can limit V-shaped groove.

The tooth of a row can extend with the tooth of another row in different directions.

The tooth that tooth is capable can have cardinal principle base portion in line, that is, the center of the base portion of three continuous teeth places on the single straight line substantially.

Core can comprise a plurality of longitudinal surfaces, and applicator can comprise that each tooth is capable, and one of capable longitudinal surface from core of each tooth extends.

One or more longitudinal surfaces of core can limit applicator surface.The capable tooth of at least one tooth can be connected to the corresponding longitudinal surface of this core in the same side of the middle vertical line of the longitudinal surface of core.

Tooth can have base portion not placed in the middle on the longitudinal surface of coupled core.

The base portion of the tooth in the row can be in a straight line, and perhaps they can be configured to cross structure.For cross structure, a plurality of continuous teeth can be in the both sides alternate bias at least in part that be the geometry release surfaces on plane in the row.Continuous tooth can be in the whole alternate bias in both sides of how much release surfaces.Term " all biasings " is appreciated that how much release surfaces do not pass tooth, the most tangent with said tooth near the place.

All teeth of every row can with the both sides of how much release surfaces of this line correlation on alternately biasing.In a modification, tooth can be setovered in the both sides of release surface, but is not alternately to setover, but setovers with the group of tooth, for example setovers with the group of two or three teeth.

In another modification, tooth can be in the biasing of the both sides on surface, but be configured to the pattern that repeats along the longitudinal axis of row, for example each pattern comprises three or four teeth, the line that for example extends obliquely along the axle with respect to row is in line.

If two continuous teeth of row are each other mirror image (only be through translation) not necessarily, particularly when the cross section of tooth is non-circular shape.

At least two continuous teeth that for example tooth is capable can have first and second at least in the bottom of tooth; Said first all has the first public shape (for example plane); Said second all has the second public shape (for example on-plane surface is particularly rounded).First can be all towards the equidirectional about core, that is, when along the axial spotting core of core, first face all towards clockwise direction or counterclockwise.

Applicator can comprise that tooth is capable, in said tooth is capable, tooth has identical shaped (for example plane) first, alternately towards direction and another direction about the longitudinal axis of core.Such layout of tooth makes it possible to be easier to use the mould crust (mold shell) with composition surface to make, and the composition surface is the capable vertical mid-plane of tooth.

At least some teeth in capable for tooth, first of tooth (especially at them for the plane time) can vertically be connected to the respective face of core substantially.At least one tooth even all teeth can have the plane parallel with its length direction.

Ring 52 can be formed with opening 513 and fixed part can be formed with mark, and this mark can be positioned in the said opening 513 when this ring is in the specific angle position with respect to fixed part 51.

In another modification, coating member can comprise brush, and for example twisting core brush shown in Figure 51, comprises the twisting core 10 that carries bristle 18.

Core 10 can be fixed on the bar handle 7 in every way, and for example, core 10 is inserted in the housing of end bar handle 7, that be formed on this bar handle.Bar handle 7 can present circular cross section.

Two branches of core 10 can be for the each several part of an one metal wire of doubling, shown in Figure 52.Wire can be for having constant circular metal wire, and for example diameter range is at 0.35mm to 0.9mm.

Under suitable situation, the wire that is adopted can have the diameter of variation and/or can present irregular surface, shown in Figure 53.This can help to destroy the helical effect along brush, and distribution is more uniformly given in the end that is bristle.

Abrasion can be passed through in the end of bristle 18.

The bristle that is adopted can have any cross section, for example the filled circles shown in Figure 54 A; The arbitrary section of hollow (the particularly circle shown in Figure 54 B); Plane (the particularly rectangle shown in Figure 54 C); Cross shown in Figure 54 D; Shown in Figure 54 E, have one or more elongated slots; Perhaps shown in Figure 54 F, have one or more hinged parts.Obviously other cross section also is fine, described in disclosing like the patent identical inventor.

The diameter of bristle can be considered to its cross section in the minimum diameter of a circle that connects.Bristle can have the diameter with its length variations, and in this case, the diameter of being discussed is an average diameter.

Bristle can be straight line or can be for wavy.

Bristle can be processed by any material, especially, processes by synthetic material, and thermoplastic for example, like polyolefin, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, PET, POM, PA, PS etc., this tabulation is not limited thereto.

To another applicator surface, bristle can be identical color or various colors from an applicator surface.

To another applicator surface, the cross section of bristle can be identical shaped or difformity from an applicator surface.

To another applicator surface, bristle can be processed by same material or different materials from an applicator surface.

Especially, all bristles of brush are processed by identical materials.

Especially, for the shape of the enveloping surface that changes brush, especially, be not the shape of circumference symmetry in order to give brush about the longitudinal axis of core, in order to limit the different applicator surface A of brush ₁, A ₂... A _n, can carry out different processing to brush.

For example, Figure 55 to Figure 63 shows the different examples of cross section of the enveloping surface E of brush, and brush limits through the geometric jacquard patterning unit surface that the free end bristle limits in a conventional manner.

Traditionally shaped brush is presented on and is columniform enveloping surface on the circumference, possibly have frusto-conically shaped portion at front end (at its end away from the bar handle).

On at least a portion length of brush; For example the core segment that carries bristle greater than 1/4th length on; The cross section that the enveloping surface E of brush has can for example be roughly triangle (shown in Figure 56), the hexagon shown in Figure 57 or the rectangle shown in Figure 58 for the circle shown in Figure 55 or for polygon and optional for regular polygon.

In cross section, core can be placed in the middle or eccentric, shown in Figure 59 and Figure 59 a.

The enveloping surface E of brush can also be highly greater or lesser the cross section of water droplet shape, shown in Figure 60 and Figure 61.

Shown in Figure 62, on one or more of brush, can be formed with one or more breach.

Shown in Figure 63, on brush, can be formed with otch.The enveloping surface that has other shape is as described in the application that is marked as identical inventor open.

Brush can be formed with the enveloping surface of diameter along the longitudinal axis variation of brush, and for example, shown in Figure 64, there is extreme value in this diameter.

In a modification, at least a portion length of brush, the diameter of bristle can reduce with the increase of this brush diameter, to obtain the soft more benefit of bristle.

It is that have three extreme values overall is peanut-shaped brush that Figure 65 illustrates enveloping surface, for example, and in the near-end of brush and near two extreme values the far-end, and an extreme value between these two extreme values.

Near-end and the brush that increase of the cross section that Figure 66 illustrates its enveloping surface from the far-end of brush to brush.Brush can also have conventional ball shape, and shown in Figure 67, perhaps brush also can be depicted as egg type like Figure 68.

Core can extend along its longitudinal axis X, and placed in the middle for all cross sections of brush, perhaps, in a modification, shown in Figure 69, core can be eccentric.

Brush also can have and is rectangle (shown in Figure 70), perhaps is fish shape (shown in Figure 71) or is the longitudinal section of bullet-shaped (shown in Figure 72).

Applicator surface can use the edge that enveloping surface limited on brush to limit, and perhaps uses at an edge that face limited in the face of said brush to limit.

Coating member can have at least two different applicator surface A1, A2 simultaneously, and as stated, each applicator surface has constant shape.

In a modification, coating member can have the outer surface that shape can change, and for example, makes it possible in response to the user to adopt at least two different shapes in succession with respect to the effect to the movable part of handle of the fixed part of handle.

In the example embodiment shown in Figure 83 a to Figure 83 c; Coating member 8 comprises have branch 560 deformable envelope 140 of (each branch carries tooth); Said branch also not all has the tooth of similar number, makes to limit at least two different applicator surface A1 and A2, shown in Figure 83 c.In addition, closing cover 5 comprises that fixed part 51 itself is connected to solid hopkinson bar handle 143 with respect to fixed part 51 movable parts 52.Hollow stem handle 144 is engaged to bar handle 143, and can be with respect to 143 motions of bar handle.Bar handle 143 rotates with motion parts 52.Moving the solid hopkinson bar handle with respect to the hollow stem handle can make big envelope 140 expand.Closing cover 5 comprises mark 5b, to discern the position of movable part 52 with respect to fixed part 51.Fixed part also can comprise one or more marks, and the mark in said one or more orientation is confirmed with respect to face A1 and A2.

In the example embodiment shown in Figure 81 a and Figure 81 b, coating member comprises the big envelope 140 that joins on the core 147, and the cross section of this core 147 is not circular but ellipse garden shape (for example avette), rectangle or ellipse.

The user can be with respect to big envelope 140 rotation cores 147, so that the distortion of the outer shape of coating member 8.

Make coated surfaces be out of shape big envelope 140 distortion.The coated surfaces of distortion can be given different characteristic when implementing to apply.

In the structure of Figure 81 a, coating member 8 limits coated surfaces A1, and in the structure of Figure 81 b, coating member 8 limits coated surfaces A2.

In order to rotate cores 147 with respect to big envelope 140; For example use and comprise two-part handle; Wherein a part can be rotated with respect to another part, and big envelope 140 and core 147 for example are connected with it through two coaxial bar handles with respect to corresponding partial fixing in these parts.

On handle, can have mark, be the selected structure of coating member to notify the user.

In another modification, shown in Figure 82 a and Figure 82 b, can make big envelope 140 distortion in the big envelope through core 147 is pushed, thereby cause coated surfaces to expand, for example limit protruding coated surfaces A1, shown in Figure 82 a, or alternate manner, shown in Figure 82 b.

Big envelope 140 greater or lesser degree ground are expanded can be so that produce greater or lesser strong wiping through wiper member the time.

In a variant embodiment, core 147 can be crooked.When core 147 is pushed in the big envelope 140; Can cause big envelope crooked, shown in Figure 82 c, and when core 147 is less pushed in the big envelope; Shown in Figure 82 d; Because core 147 can be by slight deformation because big envelope 140 is applied to the power on the core 147, possibly cause big envelope crooked limited, perhaps become straight line.

Core can be retracted in the part that the internal diameter of the hollow stem handle that is loaded with big envelope enlarges, and for example core keeps crooked shape simultaneously in said part not in big envelope.

For example in order to create different applicator surface, can be used to change any processing of the end of applicator element to coating member, this processing can be managed to form ball in the end of each bristle, shown in Figure 73, or manages to form the fork shown in Figure 74.

When having ball for the end at bristle, term " diameter " is meant the diameter of bristle before this processing causes forming ball.

Applicator element can experience heat treatment, and this heat treatment is used to make applicator element crooked, shown in Figure 75; Perhaps, applicator element is used to forge brush when comprising brush; On bristle, to create the weak zone that changes the bristle orientation, particularly in order to destroy helical effect, shown in Figure 76.

At the free end of applicator element, applicator element can present appropriate section outstanding or F-SP (for example hook), shown in Figure 77.For example, hook can be with respect to the longitudinal axis X horizontal expansion of core, extend in parallel or tilt to extend.For example in order to obtain said ball, can be so that the mode that melt the end of applicator element heats coating member.In order to obtain fork or hook, for example can denude applicator element.

Applicator element can be processed by the plastic material that comprises magnetic particle.The magnetic field of creating by such particle (said particle can be magnetizable and/or be magnetized) for example can on eyelashes, apply effect and/or with composition in the magnetic fiber or the pigment that exist interact.

Wiper member can be processed with some other modes, and for example, it can comprise the foam block that can be slotted.Wiper member can be described in No. the 2005/0028834th, 2005/0175394,2004/0258453,6 375 374 and 6 328 495, patent application or United States Patent (USP), and the content of these documents is through with reference to introducing this paper.

Wiping lip 9 can advantageously be the fluctuating shape, has the radially inner free edge of limiting hole 122, and coating member can pass through this hole, shown in Figure 78.Wiping lip 9 can comprise the fluctuating shape portion 120 of 122 extensions around the hole.Wiper member 9 can comprise for example several fluctuating shape portions 120 in scope 3 to 12.
