Brush for cosmetics

Abstract

A cosmetic brush ( 1 ) is formed so that a number of bristles ( 5 ) sandwiched between deformed core wires ( 3 i ) each having a non-circular cross section, and the bristles ( 5 ) are split into two parts with respect to a brush portion axial direction (P) and extend from twisted portions ( 4 ) of the deformed core wires ( 3 i ) of a brush portion ( 10 ) formed by twisting the deformed core wires ( 3 i ) together. Accordingly, the cosmetic brush ( 1 ) can be obtained which can retain an appropriate amount of a cosmetic liquid ( 12 ) and does not need any extra members, and is provided with gaps ( 6 ) of the bristles ( 5 ) in the brush portion axial direction (P).

1 . A cosmetic brush comprising:
 a brush portion formed of deformed core wires each having a non-circular cross section, the deformed core wires twisted to hold therebetween a plurality of bristles, wherein the bristles extend from twisted portions of the deformed core wires and split into two parts with respect to the brush portion axial direction.   
     
     
         2 . The cosmetic brush according to  claim 1 , wherein the brush portion has the twisted portions adjacent to each other in the brush portion axial direction, and bristles extending from the twisted portion toward another neighboring twisted portion are in contact with bristles extending from the another twisted portion toward the one twisted portion. 
     
     
         3 . The cosmetic brush according to  claim 1 , wherein a pitch of the twisted portions of the deformed core wires is formed wider in comparison with a pitch of twisted portions of core wires of which each cross section has a circular shape having the same wire diameter or the same cross-sectional area of the deformed core wires. 
     
     
         4 . The cosmetic brush according to  claim 2 , wherein a pitch of the twisted portions of the deformed core wires is formed wider in comparison with a pitch of twisted portions of core wires of which each cross section has a circular shape having the same wire diameter or the same cross-sectional area of the deformed core wires.
