Claims18
An instrument for applying mascara to eyelashes or other epidermal derivatives, the instrument comprising:
- a) means of application of the mascara to epidermal derivatives;
- b) a twisted plate supporting the means of application, the twisted nature of the plate enabling the generating of a helical spaced apart distribution of the means of application;
- and,
- c) a supporting core to which the plate is attached, the supporting core being twisted, wherein the means of application is adapted to releasably hold a quantity of mascara and, as a user combs the means of application through the eyelashes or other epidermal derivatives, release the mascara so as to at least partially coat the eyelashes or other epidermal derivatives.
An instrument for applying mascara or other material to epidermal derivatives, such as eyelashes, the instrument comprising:
- a) a gripping element;
- b) a stem extending from an end of the gripping element;
- c) an elongated U-shaped core element extending from an end of the stem opposite the gripping element, the core element having a crosspiece from which extend first and second branches having a gap defined therebetween;
- d) a plate fitted within the gap of the core element and comprising
- i) a central panel formed as a generally flat sheet having a first and second elongated sides and first and second ends,
- ii) a plurality of protuberances extending from the first and second elongated sides,
- wherein the core element and plate are in a twisted configuration to provide a helical distribution of the protuberances.
An instrument for applying mascara or other material to epidermal derivatives, such as eyelashes, the instrument comprising:
- a) a gripping element;
- b) a stem extending from an end of the gripping element;
- c) an applicator presented as a helical shape and associated with the stem, the applicator comprising a elongated core element extending from an end of the stem opposite the gripping element and having a crosspiece from which extend first and second branches having a gap defined therebetween, the applicator further comprising a plate having an elongated central panel having first and second sides and having protuberances extending from the first and second sides, the plate being fitted within the gap and wherein the plate and first and second branches are twisted such that the protuberances form a generally helical shape.
An instrument for applying mascara to eyelashes or other epidermal derivatives, the instrument comprising:
- a) means for releasable retention and subsequent application of the mascara to epidermal derivatives;
- b) a support means providing a plastically deformed twisted portion for supporting the means of application;
- and,
- c) a core providing a twisted portion to which the support means is attached, the support means twisted portion and the core twisted portion providing a spaced apart helical distribution of the means of application,
- wherein the means of application is adapted to releasably hold a quantity of mascara and, as a user combs the means of application through the eyelashes or other epidermal derivatives, release the mascara so as to at least partially coat the eyelashes or other epidermal derivatives.
