  • Cosmetic brush
    Patent number: 5161555
    Abstract: An improved mascara brush is formed according to the standard twisted wire method, but utilizing heavily waved bristles instead of straight bristles. During the brush forming operation, the bristles orient so that the ends of the bristles are generally evenly distributed along the cylinder outline of the brush, i.e. the usual spiral groove is eliminated. The improved mascara brush has improved properties in that it picks up more mascara and more evenly distributes the mascara on the eyelash.
