Brush for applying a composition to the eyelashes and/or the eyebrows

Abstract

A brush for applying a composition to eyelashes or eyebrows, the brush including: a core that is made by molding and that extends along a longitudinal axis; and a plurality of rows of bristles that are also made by molding, including bases that are distributed over a periphery of the core, the bristles being disposed so that there exists at least one projection axis orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the core for which the projected images of the bristles of a first row cross the projected images of the bristles of a second row.

         17 . A brush according to  claim 16 , at least a fraction of the bristles of the first row presenting slopes relative to the longitudinal axis of the core that vary along the first row. 
     
     
         18 . A brush according to  claim 16 , at least a fraction of the bristles of the first row presenting a slope relative to the longitudinal axis of the core that does not vary along the first row. 
     
     
         19 . A brush according to  claim 16 , at least a fraction of the bristles of the second row presenting slopes relative to the longitudinal axis of the core that vary along the second row. 
     
     
         20 . A brush according to  claim 16 , at least a fraction of the bristles of the second row presenting a slope relative to the longitudinal axis of the core that does not vary along the second row. 
     
     
         21 . A brush according to  claim 16 , at least a fraction of the bristles of the first or second row being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the core. 
     
     
         22 . A brush according to  claim 16 , at least a fraction of the bristles of the first and second rows presenting a slope relative to the normal to the longitudinal axis of the core that is greater than 20°. 
     
     
         23 . A brush according to  claim 16 , the projected image of at least one bristle of the first row crossing the projected image of two bristles of the second row. 
     
     
         24 . A brush according to  claim 16 , the projected image of at least one bristle of the first row being disposed symmetrically relative to the projected image of a bristle of the second row that it crosses, about a plane of symmetry that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the core. 
     
     
         25 . A brush according to  claim 16 , the rows extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the core, or following a helical path along the longitudinal axis of the core. 
     
     
         26 . A brush according to  claim 16 , the bristles of the first and second rows extending parallel to a radial plane. 
     
     
         27 . A brush according to  claim 16 , the bristles of the first and second rows extending along respective planes that form an angle between them. 
     
     
         28 . A brush according to  claim 16 , at least a fraction of the bristles of the first row having an orientation towards one of distal and proximal ends of the applicator member, and at least a fraction of the bristles of the second row having an orientation towards the other of the distal and proximal ends. 
     
     
         29 . A brush according to  claim 16 , the projected image of at least one bristle of the first row crossing the projected image of a bristle of the second row at a crossing point that is situated in a top half of the bristles. 
     
     
         30 . A brush according to  claim 16 , any one of the rows of bristles of the brush constituting a first row for which there exists at least one projection axis orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the core for which the projected images of the bristles of the first row cross with the projected images of the bristles of another row.
