Patent number: 5551456Abstract: An applicator brush for fluid-type cosmetics, such as may be used in applying mascara to eyelashes which includes a bristle portion disposed at one end of a helical twisted wire core with a handle disposed at the outer end. The configuration of the bristle portion is such that the bristle tips define a generally cylindrical outer surface having two (2) diametrically opposed channels and application surfaces helically disposed along the length of the brush portion which are spiraled about the core to form a helix thereof. The brush portion is formed by disposing the bristles between the lengths of the wire and helically twisting the wire to form the core that retains the bristles therebetween. The bristle portion is then trimmed to a shape of generally rectangular cross-section. To form the helical application surface, the wire core is further twisted in the same direction a predetermined number of turns.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 1994Date of Patent: September 3, 1996Assignee: Sanderson-Macleod, Inc.Inventor: Franklin J. Hartel

Patent number: 4733425Abstract: Mascara brush construction composed of a plurality of radially extending bristle filaments fastened in brush formation by a helically twisted metallic wire core. The bristles are tubular or hollow polyamide filaments, each crimped at the midpoint of its length by portions of the helically twisted wire so that the filament halves flare outward in various directions from the brush core. In an alternate embodiment the filaments are noncircular in cross-section and include a plurality of longitudinal, radially extending flange portions.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 1986Date of Patent: March 29, 1988Assignee: Sanderson-MacLeod, Inc.Inventors: Franklin J.
