Abstract: A cosmetic applicator brush is provided comprising a brush stem and a plurality of fibre arrays extending from the brush stem. The plurality of fibre arrays comprises at least a first zone defining at least a first pitch between adjacent fibre arrays located within the first zone, and at least a second zone defining at least a second pitch between adjacent fibre arrays located within the second zone, with the at least first pitch being different to the at least second pitch.

Abstract: A brush for applying mascara or the like, comprising an elongated core and a plurality of coating surfaces axially spaced along the elongated core, distributed around the core over a substantial portion of the length of the core extending from the distal end thereof. The coating surfaces are arranged in a plurality of rows forming turns of at least one helix extending lengthwise of the core and spaced laterally around the core periphery. The axial distance between consecutive rows of coating surfaces varies longitudinally along the core.

Abstract: Applicator (1) for a cosmetic product, typically a mascara, comprising an application means (4) having an axial core (40) which is unitary with axial rod (3) at its lower part (31) and a stack (41) of a plurality of N elements which cooperate with axial core (40) through a typically central orifice (50) allowing the axial core (40) to extend therethrough, characterized in that: the elements are elements E (5) lacking complete rotation symmetry, and the axial core (40) and the plurality of elements E (5) operate jointly with an angular orientation means for elements E (5) with respect to axial direction (10), in a transverse plane (11) which is perpendicular to the axial direction (10), in a manner that each element Ei (5) is rotatably connected with axial core (40) and has a predetermined angular orientation ?i with respect to the axial core (40).

Abstract: In the method for the manufacture of an applicator (1) with an axial direction (10) and including a manual gripping means (2), an axial rod (3), and an application means (4) including a plurality of radial elements (40), said gripping means (2) being integral with said axial rod (3) at its so-called upper part (30) via a so-called first assembly means (11), said application means (4) being integral with said axial rod (3) at its so-called lower part (31) via a so-called second assembly means (12), the constituent components (2, 3, 4) of said applicator (1), and particularly said application means (4), are formed or supplied and they are assembled.

Abstract: An applicator dispenser has a container defining a tank with a lateral wall and a neck integral with a wiper. An applicator includes a cap having an outer shell and a threaded insert, and an axial wand fixedly attached to the insert and to an application means. The lateral wall of the tank forms at its upper part a straight skirt. The container has a closure component having an upper part forming the neck, a peripheral part engaging in a sealed way with the straight skirt, and a lower part engaging with the wiper forming a forward axial stop for the wiper. The wiper has a central part forming a swaged wiping part and a lateral part engaging with the lower part of the closure component.
