The ends of the bristles define the surface (205) of the brush, this surface having a first face. The intersection of any meridian plane passing through the main axis with the surface of the brush defines two peak lines (207) having a specific curvature. The core is curved, the peak lines (207) are concave and the first face (207.1) is substantially straight and parallel to the main axis (X—X).Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2001Date of Patent: March 11, 2003Assignee: L'OrealInventor: Jean-Louis H.

Patent number: RE38230Abstract: A brush (200) has a straight stem (201) defining a main axis (X—X), a flexible core (202) having a first and a second end, the first end being integral with the stem, and bristles (204) implanted radially in the core. The end of the bristles defining the surface (205) of the brush have a first face, the intersection of any meridian plane passing through the main axis with the surface of the brush defining two peak lines (207) having a specific curvature. The core is curved, the peak lines (207) are convex, and the first face (207.1) is substantially straight and parallel to the main axis (X—X).Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2001Date of Patent: August 26, 2003Assignee: L'OrealInventor: Jean-Louis H.

Patent number: RE38646Abstract: The invention relates to a brush for applying makeup, in particular mascara, the brush comprising a core made up of two twisted-together lengths of wire between which bristles are held. At least some of said bristles are constituted by bristles of deformable section each having at least two zones of preferential deformation extending along the length thereof.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2001Date of Patent: November 9, 2004Assignee: L'OrealInventor: Jean-Louis Gueret
