Cosmetics applicator

A cosmetics applicator assembly, especially a mascara brush, comprising a cap 8 to a container having a wiper 6 in its neck 3, has a stop 20 at the end of a rod 12, immediately above the applicator 14, the rod tapering towards the stop. The wiper is provided with fingers 22 which bear against the rod so that as the tapered portion passes them they relax until their ends contact the stop which inverts them as it passes, the fingers remaining inturned until the applicator passes them when they will revert to their relaxed state removing any blob of cosmetic from the end of the applicator.

In an applicator device for a cosmetic, e.g. mascara, where an applicator such as a rod with an end brush is withdrawn from a cosmetic container in which it is stored, a wiper to remove surplus cosmetic from the applicator has a wiping orifice 18 and resilient fingers extending inwardly at an angle of from 90-120 degrees to the orifice axis. The fingers occupy 50% of the area of the orifice when viewed axially.

APPLICATOR AND ASSEMBLY

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an applicator and a rod for cosmetic material, such as mascara and hair dye, and an assembly including the applicator. SOLUTION: This assembly of a cosmetic applicator, particularly a mascara brush, includes a cap 8 for a container, the cap 8 having a wiper 6 in its neck 3 and having a stop 20 immediately above the applicator 14 at the end of the rod 12, with the rod tapered in the direction of the stop 20. The wiper is provided with a finger 22. The finger 22 presses and supports the rod, and when the applicator is drawn out of the container and passing through the tapered part, the finger 22 is relaxed; when their ends come into contact with the stop, they are reversed and held reversed until the applicator passes therethrough. They are returned to relaxed states to remove droplets of cosmetic from the end of the applicator. COPYRIGHT: (C)2001,JPO ...
