Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0792603A1] The applicator brush consists of a cylinder of bristles radiating from a core in the form of a twisted metal wire spiral, and has at least one concave curved recess (107) in the cylindrical surface. The recess is oval, circular or elliptical in shape, or it can be made from two sections of a circle which intersect. It is located in a zone (109) of the bristle cylinder which is less dense than the two ends (112,113). The ends of the cylinder have alternating long and short bristles. The applicator brush can be attached to the inside of a cap which screws onto the neck of a cosmetic product container.
