Abstract (en)
[origin: US4961665A] A mascara applicator comprises a mascara brush and a mascara container having an opening for insertion of the mascara brush into the container. The brush comprises a cap with an elongate fixing element to which the bristles of the mascara brush are secured, with the bristles extending in a helical configuration along the elongate fixing element. The bristles define first and second different brush diameters, with the large diameter defined by the bristles being larger than the diameter of the opening in the mascara container. The small diameter defined by the bristles is smaller than or at most equal to the diameter of the opening in the mascara container. The tips of the bristles define, along the length of the fixing element, first and second helically extending lines which are displaced at 180 DEG relative to each other.
