  • Publication number: 20140246043
    Abstract: This applicator comprises a first body (12), formed by a first molded part, which first body (12) comprising a first primary row (22A) of projecting elements (38) and a second primary row (22B) of projecting elements, the first primary row (22A) being angularly spaced apart from the second primary row (22B) with respect to an axis (A-A?) of the body (12). It comprises a second body (14) comprising a first secondary row (51A) of projecting elements (62), arranged between the first primary row (51A) and the second primary row (51B), with the second body (14) being applied against the first body (12) between the first primary row (51A) and the second primary row (51B). The second body (14) is made of a second molded part assembled on the first body (12) after molding thereof.

  • Publication number: 20070062551
    Abstract: An instrument for applying a liquid or semi-liquid composition on the eyelashes or the eyebrows, comprising a core together with applicator means designed to collect the composition and to apply it on the eyelashes or the eyebrows, the applicator means projecting from the core between respective bases and tips, wherein the applicator means are arranged to form at least one hollow itself defining at least one applicator volume shaped firstly to contain the composition and secondly to enable at least one eyelash or eyebrow hair to pass therethrough in order to be coated in composition, the applicator volume extending from the tip towards the core along a fraction only of the length of the applicator means, the applicator volume being defined by at least first and second substantially solid walls disposed facing each other, each of the first and second walls presenting a nature that is substantially two-dimensional.
