Abstract: An applicator for a viscous liquid such as nail varnish has an applicator brush in the form of a tuft of hairs which is anchored at its upper end in an applicator stem and a part of the tuft downwardly of the point of anchorage is surrounded by a reservoir space R into which an optional air hole passes. While the applicator brush is being used, varnish or other liquid passes axially along the tuft from the reservoir R, thereby increasing the duration of an applicator phase before the need to reimmerse the tuft in the liquid product L in the bottle.

Abstract: An applicator for scrubbing an eyelid and a sealed, contaminant-excluding package therefor. The applicator includes an absorbent tip pre-wet for applying a liquid to an eyelid and affixed adjacent to a handle that is held firmly between the fingers for optimal control and safety near the eyeball.

Abstract: The applicator unit for a liquid, pasty or pulverulent product, such as a cosmetic product comprises a bottle provided with a threaded neck and intended to contain the product, a cap closing the bottle by being screwed onto the neck, an applicator disposed at the end of a stem carried by the cap and a wiper device intended to be traversed by the applicator. This wiper device is formed as a first element disposed within the bottle and at the base of the neck, and a second element with a smaller diameter than the first element and extending the lower end of the first element, a first bore within the first element having a wall formed as a spiral with a thread in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation required for unscrewing the cap, a second bore coaxially extending the first bore passing through the end of the second element, the internal wall of the second bore and the external wall of the second element being at least partly covered with a fibrous coating.

Abstract: A cosmetic sampler for applying various cosmetic preparations is made up of an applicator and a cover. The applicator has a rod-like section for the cosmetic preparation and the cover fits over and encloses the rod-like section. The applicator is formed of a plastic material compatible with the cosmetic preparation.

Abstract: This invention concerns cosmetic applicators for low-viscosity liquid cosmetics. In particular, it relates to an applicator surface consisting of a latex foam having a combined structure including closed cells and open cells. The structure has a porosity for the open cell portion increasing from the area adjacent the closed cells toward the other side of the latex foam applicator. The latex foam can be natural or acrylonitrile-butadiene latex foam.
