Abstract: An applicator includes a brush handle and at least two branches. The inner walls of the at least two branches enclose a cavity. Each of the branches includes at least two brush strips. First ends of the brush strips are fixedly connected to the brush handle. Second ends of the brush strips are free ends. Two adjacent brush strips in each of the branches are fixedly connected through a connecting bridge. Protrusions are respectively arranged on the brush strips. The cavity is formed in the applicator. The cavity can carry a large amount of a cosmetic. Therefore, a cosmetic carrying capacity of the applicator is improved to make a user dip the cosmetic from the cosmetic bottle less frequently and achieve convenience in use and a higher makeup efficiency.

Abstract: A cosmetic applicator includes a brush rod. The brush rod includes a grip portion and an application portion. The application portion includes a first surface and a second surface. A thin-film layer is fixedly provided on the first surface, and an accommodating cavity is formed between the thin-film layer and the first surface. With the thin-film layer and the accommodating cavity between the thin-film layer and the application portion, when the application portion is pulled out of a cosmetic bottle, not only can the flocking layer carry the cosmetic, but the accommodating cavity covered by the thin-film layer stores the cosmetic more. Therefore, a cosmetic carrying capacity of the cosmetic applicator is greatly improved to make a user dip the cosmetic from the cosmetic bottle less frequently and achieve convenience in use and a higher makeup efficiency.

Abstract: A bristle is provided. A first end of the bristle serves as a free end, and a second end of the bristle serves as a root. A cross section of the bristle is in a closed shape defined by at least two lines. Each of the lines is straight or curved. The bristle is twisted along a circumferential direction of its own axis. A mascara brush includes a core and at least one bristle. A root of the bristle is provided on the core, and a free end of the bristle is provided away from the core. A single row of bristles are spaced apart along an axis of the core, or multiple rows of bristles are spaced apart along the axis of the core and arranged radially along a circumferential direction of the core.

Abstract: A mascara brush having a tornado-shaped bristle includes a bristle and a core. A root of the bristle is provided on the core, and a free end of the bristle is provided away from the core. There is at least one bristle. A centerline of the bristle intersects with an axis of the core in a non-perpendicular manner. By providing an included angle between the centerline of the bristle and the axis of the core, the bristle is inserted between eyelashes more easily. As the bristle is not perpendicular to the axis of the core, a cross section of the whole mascara brush is reduced. While the length of the bristle remains the same, the opening of a mascara bottle is reduced. The new mascara brush has the advantages of better application effect, more compact structure and better ease of eyelash combing.

Abstract: A cosmetic applicator is formed from two lateral branches that extend from a hub. The lateral branches arc away from one another and then toward one another as they extend in the distal direction with each branch forming a concave inside edge. The concave edges of the branches define a cavity. Distal ends of the branches are unconnected, allowing the branches to flex independently of one another. A membrane extends from the hub and is at least partially positioned in the cavity between the branches. The hub and branches are formed from a first material with a first hardness. The membrane is formed from a second material with a hardness different from the first material.

Abstract: Vehicle seat fixed to the floor of a cabin of a vehicle and which is able to absorb the impact of a passenger seated behind. It comprises at least two uprights (20) per backrest, these being positioned substantially vertically and engaged via a lower end (30) in the fixed framework (32) of the seat in such a way as to be releasable through upward translational movement so that they can disengage upward under the effect of an impact on a rear face, and are mounted with the ability to rotate about at least one fixed axis of the fixed framework (32) so as to be able to pivot forwards after becoming disengaged. At least one deliberate mechanical weak link positioned between each upright (20) and the framework (32) blocks the translational movement of the upright below a determined force corresponding to the impact. Application to aircraft seats.

Abstract: A container-closure system that comprises a container (1) without screw threads; a custom wiper (3) that sits in the neck of the container; a magnetic ring (2) that encircles the neck of the container; a custom closure (5) that comprises a handle (5b), a conic section (5g), a wand (5d) and an application surface (4) that depends from the distal end of the wand; an overshell (8) that fits over the handle and supports a metal ring (6). The strength of the magnetic ring for the metal ring is sufficient to effect a tight seal in two sealing zones: between the conic section (5g) of the closure and the beveled surface (3g) of the wiper (3); and between the bottom (5a) of the handle and the custom sealing lip (3a) on the top of the wiper.

Abstract: A closure-container system comprising a screw-threaded inner cap that mounts to a screw threaded container, and an overshell that is enabled to rotate and translate relative to the inner cap. As the overshell rotates relative to the inner cap, one or more metallic magnets located in the overshell pull the cap toward one or more metallic elements associated with the container. The overshell and container make direct contact, so there is no unsightly gap. Also, the contact produces a satisfying, reassuring metallic “click” sound, accompanied by a luxurious tactile sensation that, together, dispel the silent ennui normally associated with rotating closures.

Abstract: A heating applicator system that heats personal care products without concerns of dry-out as a result of repeated exposure to heat comprising a disposable container subassembly and a reusable handle subassembly. The container subassembly comprises a lower printed circuit board that has heating elements disposed thereon. The reusable handle subassembly houses an upper printed circuit board that has electronic control elements. When the handle subassembly is attached to the container subassembly, the two circuit boards form an electric connection and create an electric heating circuit. Subsequently, the handle subassembly is able to detach from the container while the applicator head remains attached to the handle subassembly. After each use, the applicator head is replaced in the container. When the product is used up, the applicator head and the container can be detached from the handle subassembly. The handle subassembly can be reused, while the container and applicator head are discarded.
