Художественная кисть

Номер: RU0000192533U1

Предлагаемая полезная модель относится к конструкции красконаносящих элементов для кистей, используемых для выполнения художественных работ и прочих кистях, используемых для рисовая и творчества. Художественная кисть содержит обойму 1, с одной стороны жестко крепящей ручку 2, с другой - волосяной пучок, состоящий из волосков 3 разной жесткости: жесткие 4 и мягкие 5. Волоски 4 и 5 разделены между собой в группы и смежно расположены относительно друг друга. Ширина всех групп волосков может быть равновеликой или, как минимум, одна группа волосков может быть неравновелика другим группам волосков. Позицией 6 обозначено начало общего контура, позицией 7 конец общего контура 8, позициями 9, 10, 11 показаны места перехода одних волос в другие. Позицией 12 показан участок перехода от дугообразного участка 13 общего контура 8 в прямолинейный участок 14 общего контура. При обмакивании в густую краску предлагаемой кисти происходит наиболее сильный захват краски жесткими волосками. При обмакивании в жидкую краску предлагаемой кисти происходит наиболее сильный захват краски мягкими волосками за счет капиллярных явлений. При нанесении краски на окрашиваемую поверхность той группой волосков, где было набрано больше краски, отпечаток кисти становится более толстой, а цвет краски насыщенней. Там, где было набрано меньше краски, толщина наносимого слоя меньше, значит и отпечаток менее насыщенный.
