Abstract: In a brush, in particular for coloring eyelashes or hair, comprising a stem and a number of bristles standing out essentially radially therefrom, the stem being formed by a first leg of a tweezers- or scissors-like arrangement, and a second leg of this arrangement having, at its free end, an abutment for the bristles of the first leg such that in operation, the free outer ends of the two legs enclose between them the eyelashes or hair to be treated. At least one of the two legs (4, 5) being designed as a hollow tube connected with a supply container and having outlets leading to the outside.

Abstract: In a coloring cosmetic unit, in particular a mascara unit, comprising a receptacle for the coloring cosmetic and a screw cap which can be screwed on an external thread of the receptacle neck and on which a handle with an applicator is mounted, it is provided, with a view to improving the properties of handling and use of such a coloring cosmetic unit, in particular to attaining optimal opening and closing properties, produceability by injection or blow molding at a low cost being nevertheless ensured, that the thread on the receptacle neck has a pitch greater than 2 mm, in particular approximately 3 mm.

Abstract: In an interdental cleaning device comprising a brush and a holder, the brush being pivotably and replaceably disposed on the free end of the holder, and the holder consisting of two shells, it is provided with a view to advantageous pivotablility of the brush and defined stop positions being attained, accompanied with simple implementation in terms of plastics technology, that the brush comprises a ball of a ball and socket joint and that a socket of a ball and socket joint is formed by two socket members to be assembled and disassembled, one socket member at a time being formed on an end of a shell.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a container with a screwed cap for nail varnish and liquid mascara having a closed position of the screwed cap in relation to the container defined by at least one end stop and a cover rotatably fitted on the screwed cap. The container and screwed cap further have a peripheral annular shoulder (22) with a thread-like pitch formed on the outer surface of the screwed cap at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the screwed cap to produce a stop shoulder (27) on a transition region between a beginning (25) and an end (26) of the annular shoulder (22). A guide slot extends downwards from the stop shoulder (27) and aligns therewith. A guide rib having a width corresponding to a width of the guide slot (28) formed on the inner wall of the cover (7) and runs parallel to longitudinal axes (16, 17) of the screwed cap and the cover for engagement in the guide slot.

Abstract: In a mascara brush comprising a plurality of bristles retained between two intertwisted wire sections, the bristles being trimmed to define the contour of the brush, it is provided, with a view to obtaining clearly improved handling and combing properties, that the bristles are trimmed so that on the one hand, seen in a cross-section, they are asymmetric in such a way that the bristles have a shorter extension from the intertwisted wire sections towards one side while having a longer extension towards the other side, and that on the other hand, seen in a longitudinal section, the bristles are also trimmed asymmetrically in such a way that they have varying lengths.

Abstract: In a reservoir having a screw cap for nail enamel, mascara or the like, with a view to attaining a defined final position in the screwing process and reliable closing that is impermeable to liquids and gas-tight, manufacturing tolerances of the reservoir, as occur in particular with glass reservoirs, being taken into account, it is provided that on the upper side of an annular collar (11) of the reservoir (1), provision is made for at least one projection (12) which extends over a certain angle at circumference (.beta.1, .beta.

Abstract: In a screw cap reservoir, in particular for a cosmetic such as nail enamel, comprising a neck having an external thread on which to screw the internal thread of the screw cap, an encircling shoulder being formed on the neck in the portion below the external thread, this shoulder having at least one stop in the form of a projection which, extending over a certain angle at circumference, projects upwards from the annular shoulder, and stop recesses being provided on the lower edge of the screw cap, which cooperate with the stop projections and which snap-engage with the stop projections when the screw cap is screwed on so that the screw cap is arrested in a defined final position by resistance to return motion, it is provided, with a view to achieving a defined closing condition accompanied by a pronounced click effect, that in a portion approximately above each stop recess, the peripheral surface of the screw cap is provided with a recess tapering the wall thickness or breaching the wall.

Abstract: A mascara brush having a core bent into a looped or eyetype configuration is disclosed. The twisted wire core is bent by approximately 180.degree. to form a oblong, oval rectangular or figure eight configuration having an internal reservoir adapted to receive mascara for transferring to the eyelashes.

Abstract: In a cleaning device, in particular for the interdental area, comprising two twisted, wire-type sections (1, 2), it is provided, with a view to putting into practice novel cleaning methods, the cleaning being accompanied by the application of care and cleaning agents, that the wire-type sections (1, 2) are twisted in such a way that at least one free loop or eye (9) is formed.

Abstract: In a small brush, in particular an interdental brush, comprising a plurality of fibers or bristles (5) which are secured so as to protrude radially between two wire-type segments (1, 2) by twisting the latter, it is provided, with a view to improve the properties of handling and dental care, that the wire-type segments (1, 2) comprise at least one plastic fiber (3).
