Красконаносящий элемент плоских кистей, используемых для ногтевого дизайна, рисования и творчества при работе с жидкими красками

Номер: RU0000170521U1
Автор: Андрей Леонидович Бяков
Принадлежит: Андрей Леонидович Бяков

Предлагаемая полезная модель относится к конструкции красконаносящих элементов для кистей, используемых в ногтевом дизайне, художественных работах и прочих кистях, используемых для рисования жидкими красками.Техническим результатом предлагаемого красконаносящего элемента является расширение функциональных возможностей прорисовки плавных переходов от одного цвета в другой благодаря наличию у кисточки мягкой вершинки, которая получается за счет хаотичного перемешивания волосков разной длины в общем пучке.Красконаносящий элемент плоских кистей, используемых для ногтевого дизайна, рисования и творчества при работе с жидкими красками выполнен в виде пучка 1 волос. Пучок 1 волос представляет собой композицию двух пучков, первый из которых 2 собран из заостренных волос с неизменяющимся по высоте контуром мазка. Второй пучок 3 выполнен из заостренных волос длиной, меньшей контура мазка и определяемой выражением 1/4А≤В<2 А, где А - высота самого маленького волоска; В+А - высота самых больших волосков от линии контакта с обоймой, при этом волосы пучков в едином пучке перемешаны хаотичным образом. Это позволяет получит очень мягкую и тонкую вершинку кисти, обеспечивающую плавные переходы от одной краски к другой, очень важную в ногтевом дизайне.
