Abstract: Example aspects of a brush assembly and a method for providing a brush assembly are disclosed. The brush assembly can comprise a plurality of elongate primary brush bristles, each of the primary brush bristles defining a star-shaped transverse cross section, each of the primary brush bristles defining five substantially parallel outer edges and five substantially parallel inner edges extending along a length of the primary brush bristle; and a ferrule attached to the plurality of primary brush bristles.
Abstract: Example aspects of a cosmetics brush and a method of providing a cosmetics brush are disclosed. The cosmetics brush can comprise a plurality of elongate primary brush fibers, each of the primary brush fibers defining a rectangular transverse cross section, each of the primary brush fibers defining four substantially parallel edges along a length of the primary brush fiber; and a ferrule attached to the plurality of primary brush fibers.
Abstract: Disclosed is a concept of a synthetic fiber substitute for pony hair, for use in cosmetic brushes or the like, made of PBT, with a mix of two diameters of fibers, 0.05 mm diameter and 0.07 mm diameter, with the ratio of the blend being 8:2 (8 parts 0.05 mm diameter and 2 parts 0.07 mm diameter). The tips used on both types of fibers is a “short tip”, and the wave characteristic of both types of fibers is “small wave”.
Abstract: Disclosed is a new fiber which has a triangular cross section, and which may be used as a substitute for animal hair with comparable pickup and other properties. The disclosure also relates to methods for providing same.
