Abstract
In a mascara brush comprising a plurality of bristles held between two twisted wire segments, wherein the bristles have varying lengths created by trimming, provision is made for the brush to incorporate a first outer face of a predefined geometry created in a first trimming process after twisting, wherein this outer face is formed by the tips of a first number of longer bristles, wherein a portion of the bristles is trimmed by a second trimming process, so that a plurality of bristles of a shorter length is created, the tips of which form a second envelope of a predefined geometry, wherein the tips of the shorter bristles each lie on an orthogonal line relative to these twisted wire segments extending at a distance to the same.
Claims7
A mascara brush comprising a plurality of bristles (2) held between two twisted wire segments (3, 4), wherein the length of bristles (2) are essentially equal at the starting point of trimming and after trimming have varying lengths created by the trimming, wherein the brush (1) incorporates a first outer face of a predefined geometry created in a first trimming process of the plurality of bristles after twisting, wherein the first outer face is formed by the tips of first trimmed bristles (2), wherein a portion of the first trimmed bristles is trimmed by a second trimming process, so that at least a portion of second trimmed bristles (9) have a shorter length than the first trimmed bristles;
- wherein the tips (8) of said portion of second trimmed bristles form a second outer face (7), the surface of which is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the twisted wire segments (3, 4) and is down in a perpendicular direction to the longitudinal axis of the twisted wire segments along the first trimmed bristles;
- wherein the tips (8) of the second trimmed bristles (9) each lie in a cross-sectional view on an orthogonal straight line relative to said longitudinal axis of the twisted wire segments (3, 4) extending at a distance to the twisted wire segments;
- and
- wherein in the finalized brush the tips of the first trimmed bristles extend beyond the orthogonal straight trimming line (7) of the second trimmed bristles and the second trimmed bristles and the first trimmed bristles are intermingled in the region radially inside the orthogonal straight trimming line (7).
