Abstract
A cosmetic applicator is provided. The cosmetic applicator includes a flexible application member which is manufactured independently in a first shape. The cosmetic applicator includes a stem which is a cylindrical hollow body configured to receive the application member. The application member is configured to attain a second shape when constrained within the stem. The application member includes an elongated base member and an applicator head attached to a first side of the base member.
Claims20
A cosmetic applicator comprising:
- a stem having a hollow elongated body;
- the stem having a distal end and a proximal end;
- a handle attached to the proximal end of the stem;
- an application member attached to the distal end of the stem, the application member comprises an elongated base member and an applicator head attached at a first end of the elongated base member;
- wherein the stem has a longitudinal opening at the distal end;
- wherein the applicator head is flexible and has a first shape;
- wherein the applicator head is configured to attain a second shape when the applicator head is constrained within a channel of the longitudinal opening of the stem;
- wherein the applicator head includes a plurality of projecting elements for holding and discharging a cosmetic product;
- wherein a predetermined distance is maintained between free ends of the plurality of projecting elements in the first shape of the applicator head;
- and
- wherein the predetermined distance between free ends of at least two of the plurality of projecting elements is reduced when the applicator head fits into the channel of the longitudinal opening of the stem.
A cosmetic applicator comprising:
- a hollow stem, the hollow stem having a distal end and a proximal end;
- a handle attached to the proximal end of the hollow stem;
- an application member attached to the distal end of the hollow stem, the application member comprises an elongated base member and an applicator head attached at a first end of the elongated base member;
- wherein the hollow stem has a longitudinal opening at its distal end;
- wherein the applicator head is flexible and has a first shape;
- wherein the applicator head is configured to attain a second shape when the applicator head is constrained within a channel of the longitudinal opening of the hollow stem;
- and
- wherein a length of the application member is greater than a length of the hollow stem.
A cosmetic applicator comprising:
- a hollow stem;
- the hollow stem having a distal end and a proximal end;
- a handle attached at the proximal end of the hollow stem;
- an application member attached at the distal end of the hollow stem, the application member comprises an elongated base member and an applicator head attached at a first end of the elongated base member;
- wherein the hollow stem has a longitudinal opening at the distal end;
- wherein the applicator head is flexible and has a curved shape;
