Abstract

La présente invention concerne une brosse basée, de manière classique, sur un fil métallique (1) replié sur lui-même et tordu de manière hélicoïdale pour former un noyau (6) de fixation pour les touffes de fibres constituant la brosse à proprement parler, a pour principales caractéristiques le fait d'inclure deux types de fibres, à savoir des fibres plastiques (4), par exemple en nylon et des fibres végétales (5) par exemple en coton, lin ou similaire. Les touffes de fibres (4-5) des deux types sont disposées de manière alternée de sorte que les fibres végétales (5) agissent comme "entrepôt" pour le produit de maquillage, favorisant ainsi l'imprégnation des fibres en matière plastique (4), lorsque ces dernières agissent sur les cils de l'utilisatrice, rendant ainsi possible l'application du mascara en un seul passage.

The present invention relates to a brush based, in a conventional manner, on a metal wire (1) folded back on itself and twisted in a helical manner to form a fixing core (6) for the tufts of fibers constituting the brush itself, has as main characteristics the fact of including two types of fibers, namely plastic fibers (4), for example nylon and vegetable fibers (5) for example cotton, linen or the like. The tufts of fibers (4-5) of the two types are arranged alternately so that the plant fibers (5) act as a "storehouse" for the make-up product, thus promoting the impregnation of the plastic fibers (4) , when the latter act on the eyelashes of the user, thus making it possible to apply the mascara in a single pass.
