Makeup Brush

Abstract

The method for manufacturing a makeup brush includes: molding a ferrule and welding bristles to the ferrule. The ferrule includes a ferrule inner end; a ferrule outer end; a ferrule body; an interior; and a well. The well has a well base parallel to the ferrule outer end. The well base has an inner side and an outer side. The step of welding the bristles includes the steps of disposing the bristles in contact with the outer side of the well base and exposing the inner side of the well base to welding.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A method for forming a ferrule of a makeup brush, said method comprising the following steps:
 molding a ferrule that comprises:
 a ferrule inner end; 
 a ferrule outer end; 
 an interior; 
 a ferrule body with a ferrule length extending between the inner and outer ends and around the interior; and 
 a well disposed at the ferrule outer end, wherein the well comprises a well base parallel to the ferrule outer end, wherein the well base comprises an inner side that faces toward the interior of the ferrule body and an outer side that faces away from the interior of the ferrule; and 
   welding a plurality of bristles to the well of the ferrule, wherein each of the bristles comprises a bristle outer tip, a bristle inner tip, and a bristle length extending between the bristle outer and inner tips, and wherein said step of welding bristles comprises the steps of:
 disposing the bristle inner tips in contact with the outer side of the well base of the ferrule; and 
 exposing the inner side of the well base of the ferrule to welding. 
   
     
     
         2 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , where said step of molding a ferrule comprises injection molding a ferrule. 
     
     
         3 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said step of exposing the inner side of the well base of the ferrule to welding comprises exposing the inner side of the well base of the ferrule to infrared welding. 
     
     
         4 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said step of exposing the inner side of the well base of the ferrule to welding comprises exposing the inner side of the well base of the ferrule to ultrasonic welding. 
     
     
         5 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said step of exposing the inner side of the well base of the ferrule to welding comprises exposing the inner side of the well base of the ferrule to laser welding.
