Abstract: A makeup set (1) includes a package, formed of two sheets of plastic material (2a, 2b) partially welded together, in which package and applicator is disposed, comprising an element (8) for holding in the hand and a distributor device (9) in a chamber prefilled with the composition to be tested. The package has two separate portions (13, 14): a first portion (13) capable of being opened, the two sheets (2a, 2b) being joined by a perforated welded bead (6), and a second portion (14) in which the sheets (2a, 2b) are welded. A constriction zone (7) is formed in the plastic sheets (2a, 2b) at the level of the welded portion (14) in order to assure the wiping of the distributor device (9) when it is removed from the package. This makeup set may be presented in the form of small plates (15) on which a plurality of packages (1) disposed side by side are disposed together.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved cosmetic container and applicator comprising: (a) a container having an open and a closed end; (b) an applicator including a cap, an elongated rod, and a brush; (c) an upper wiper element located at or near the open end of the container; and (d) a lower wiper element located further from the open end of the container than the first wiper element, the lower wiper serving to divide the container into two chambers. The upper wiper removes excess makeup from the brush when it is removed from the container and, preferably, also wipes the surface of the rod clean when the rod is removed from the container. The lower wiper cleans the brush after every use, thereby virtually eliminating the building up and drying of makeup that would otherwise occur on the brush.

Abstract: A spiral mascara brush including both soft bristles for applying mascara and stiff bristles for combing applied mascara through a user's eyelashes.

The rod (5) is mounted displaceably in the sheath (9) with respect to the cap (7), and at its end remote from the cap, the sheath (9) includes a restriction (11), through which the applicator means (A) of the brush can pass. The rod (5) of the brush includes an enlargement (12) arranged to come into contact with the restriction (11) by gravity, when the brush (4) is oriented downward, so as to retain the rod and close the restriction. Toward the cap, the sheath (9) includes at least one opening (14, 15) allowing liquid to enter the sheath when the bottle, closed by the cap, is inverted, and a free space (16) exists between the inside surface of the sheath and the outer surface of the rod to form a reservoir for the liquid.

Abstract: A make-up applicator unit comprises a reservoir for liquid make-up product and an applicator carried by the cap of the reservoir. The seal between the applicator and the reservoir, when the cap is screwed home, is formed by a sealing member which is separate from the applicator and is free to rotate so that when the applicator rotates in contact with the sealing element during the final stages of screwing the cap onto the reservoir the applicator is not subjected to excessive torsional strain.

Abstract: A make up unit comprises a container for mascara, a cap, and a stem carrying a brush which penetrates into the container via a passage axially traversing a wiper element. The wiper element has a wiping zone defining a passage whose cross section is smaller than that of the brush in its state of rest. The wiper element is formed by a lip whose internal edge defines the brush-receiving passage and is joined at its periphery to a ring of a greater thickness, which can sustain, by an axial compression exerted on it, an elastic deformation leading to a variation of the cross-section of the passage. An adjuster ring controls the compression and a reservoir of mascara is accommodated in a barrel. Thus the degree of compression of the wiper element can be adjusted and, as a result, the force of the wiping action will be adjusted.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an Improved Mascara Applicator which is used to apply mascara to eyelashes. The Improved Mascara Applicator of the present invention incorporates a unique applicator design which contains a multiplicity of rows of closely spaced and evenly spaced applicator flukes which permits each eyelash to be evenly coated with mascara. The unique applicator design also incorporates a series of communicating channels between the multiplicity of rows of applicator flukes in order to permit mascara to flow from one row to the next. This built in mascara reservoir channel design feeds each of the mascara coating flukes with mascara in order to assure proper mascara flow to each eyelash. This unique design further eliminates the requirement of frequently dipping the mascara applicator into a pool of mascara to replenish the applicator.The present invention also relates to an improved method of manufacturing the head of this mascara applicator.

The applicator is reciprocal in the cap and movable axially therealong to engage any liquids at the bottom of the bottle without the need for either tilting the bottle or re-sealing the cap back onto the bottle.

Abstract: This invention concerns a nail polish brush so constructed as to provide more even and exact stroking, especially onto the top of the fingernail, where the cuticle is rounded. The hairs on the perimeter of the brush are shortest in length, the next circle of hairs lying inside the outer circle of hairs are slightly longer, each successive circle of hairs increasing in length this way, and the last round of hairs in the center of the brush are the longest. The entire effect is one of very slight, gradual rounding, corresponding more exactly to the human cuticle.
