Cosmetic applicator

Abstract

A cosmetic applicator includes a bristle-bearing core, a bristle trimming including a plurality of bristle belts, each bristle belt including a plurality of bristles arranged in succession along a belt line extending along the periphery of the core, with a completely bristle-free space between immediately adjacent belt lines, a plurality of immediately adjacent belt lines have a different course, such that lashes which lie in bristle-those free spaces where the plurality of belt lines are closest to each other, are pulled apart in the direction of the roll axis of the core when the cosmetic applicator is rotated about the roll axis of its core.

1 . A cosmetic applicator comprising:

         2 . The cosmetic applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein an imaginary core cut surface, which includes a belt line along which bristles are arranged one behind the other, forms an imaginary swash plate which, when the core is rotated about the roll axis, performs a tumbling movement about the roll axis. 
     
     
         3 . The cosmetic applicator according to  claim 2 , wherein the several plurality of belt lines along which bristles are arranged one behind the other form imaginary swash plates which are configured to tumble differently. 
     
     
         4 . The cosmetic applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of belt lines along which bristles are arranged one behind the other form a first group of immediately adjacent swash plates which are configured to wobble in a direction towards a distal end of the core upon rotation of the core about the roll axis, and a second group of immediately adjacent swash plates which are configured to wobble in a direction towards a proximal end of the core upon rotation of the core about the roll axis. 
     
     
         5 . The cosmetic applicator according to  claim 4 , wherein the plurality of belt lines form at least one imaginary plate that separate the first and second groups of imaginary swash plates, the belt line of the at least one imaginary plate spans another swash plate having a central axis that is parallel to the roll axis of the core or that has a tilt angle with respect to the roll axis of the core which is smaller than a tilt angle of all central axes of the first and second groups of imaginary swash plates with respect to the roll axis of the core. 
     
     
         6 . The cosmetic applicator according to  claim 4 , wherein the first and second groups of imaginary swash plates form a flat imaginary surface. 
     
     
         7 . The cosmetic applicator according to  claim 4 , wherein the first and second groups of imaginary swash plates all or predominantly form a curved imaginary surface. 
     
     
         8 . The cosmetic applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of bristles predominately have a longitudinal axis that is completely straight. 
     
     
         9 . The cosmetic applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of bristles include bent bristles or kinked bristles in an area where the plurality of belt lines have a smallest distance between each other. 
     
     
         10 . The cosmetic applicator according to  claim 9 , wherein a radially outermost third or a radially outermost quarter of the kinked bristles is bent. 
     
     
         11 . The cosmetic applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the bristle-beating core is of a cambered design such that an area of a vertical cross-section through the core decreases from a largest vertical cross-sectional area of the core towards both distal and proximal ends of the core. 
     
     
         12 . The cosmetic applicator according to  claim 1  characterized in that wherein the plurality of bristles predominately have a conical shape. 
     
     
         13 . The cosmetic applicator according to  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of bristles form at least one bristle row which is composed of bristles each having a bristle longitudinal axis substantially parallel to each other bristle longitudinal axis or in which a distance between the bristle longitudinal axes of the bristles in the at least one bristle row is substantially identical or substantially orthogonal to the roll axis. 
     
     
         14 . The cosmetic applicator according to  claim 5 , wherein the tilt angle of the central axis of a respective imaginary swash plate of the first and second groups of imaginary swash plates increases in amount relative to the roll axis with decreasing distance both towards a respective end of a distal and a proximal end of the core. 
     
     
         15 . The cosmetic applicator according to  claim 13 , wherein the at least one bristle row is one bristle row of a plurality of bristle rows and with an increasing vertical distance of the plurality of bristle rows, which are composed of bristles whose having bristle longitudinal axes parallel to one another or in which a distance from the bristle longitudinal axis is substantially identical or the bristle longitudinal axes are orthogonal to the roll axis, a distance of the bristle tips of bristles lying on a respective bristle row increases or at least remains the same relative to one another. 
     
     
         16 . The cosmetic applicator according to  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of bristles predominately have a longitudinal axis that is completely straight. 
     
     
         17 . The cosmetic applicator according to  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of bristles include bent bristles or kinked bristles in an area where the plurality of belt lines have a smallest distance between each other. 
     
     
         18 . The cosmetic applicator according to  claim 2 , wherein the bristle-bearing core is of a cambered design such that an area of a vertical cross-section through the core decreases from a largest vertical cross-sectional area of the core towards both distal and proximal ends of the core. 
     
     
         19 . The cosmetic applicator according to  claim 2  wherein the plurality of bristles predominately have a conical shape. 
     
     
         20 . The cosmetic applicator according to  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of bristles form at least one bristle row which is composed of bristles each having a bristle longitudinal axis substantially parallel to each other bristle longitudinal axis or in which a distance between the bristle longitudinal axes of the bristles in the at least one bristle row is substantially identical or substantially orthogonal to the roll axis.
