Abstract
The present invention provides a brush for application of nail polish to the fingernails. The brush comprises a distal portion tapered in width and thickness to form a wedge-shaped or pointed tip. This tapered shape allows the use of a relatively thick brush, capable of holding a sufficient amount of nail polish to completely coat a single fingernail, while permitting the coating of a fingernail without getting nail polish in surrounding tissue.
Claims16
A brush for applying nail polish to human fingernails comprising a tuft of bristles fastened into a stem, wherein the portion of said tuft protruding from said stem has a proximal and a distal portion and terminates in a tip, and wherein said tuft has a rectangular cross section comprising upper and lower elongated sides spaced apart by a thickness dimension, and left and right short sides spaced apart by a width dimension, wherein the distal portions of said upper and lower sides are each tapered, and said left and right sides are each tapered such that the thickness and width of said tuft decrease progressively toward the tip.
A brush for applying nail polish to human fingernails comprising a tuft of bristles fastened into a stem, wherein the portion of said tuft protruding from said stem has a proximal and a distal portion, and wherein said tuft has a substantially ellipsoidal cross section characterized by a major axis and a minor axis, wherein the length of said major axis defines a width dimension and the length of said minor axis defines a thickness dimension, wherein the distal portion of said tuft is tapered with the width and thickness decreasing progressively toward the tip.
