  • Publication number: 20130232709
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for molding a shape of bristles of a mascara brush for eyelashes, a mold in used in the method. Two strands of iron cores are twisted and brush bristles respectively having dorsal portions are radially spread between the twisted iron cores through post-process so as to form a mascara brush, wherein the dorsal portions are formed by the brush bristles of the same length on the basis of the iron cores without difference in the length of the brush bristles, so that a mascara solution contained in the dorsal portion does not run down when being applied to eyelashes, and the mascara provides more volume and a beautiful eyelash make-up when a sufficient amount of the mascara solution is applied.

  • Patent number: 4944561
    Abstract: A process for producing brush heads is disclosed which includes providing a bundle of brush material, which is separated into a plurality of bunches of brush material to provide respective brush heads. The plurality of bunches of brush material are inserted into apertures in an apertured plate, with support needles engaged in the respective bundles in the apertured plate. The number, length, shape and thickness of the needles are dependent on the nature, amount, length and shape of the brush material. The apertured plate with the bunches of brush material in the apertures thereof is then fitted to a shaping unit, with the brush material being slid into shaping sockets in the shaping unit, the tips of the bunches providing the respective brush heads assuming the configuration imparted thereto by the blind ends of the shaping sockets.
