- the geometry of the groove is advantageously used for act on the directions of the bristles of the brush.
- the opening width of the groove can be sufficiently small to bring the bristles closer to the brush used for applying the product after place the brush in said groove, so as to make the brush flatter or even tapered.
- the longitudinal edges of the throat can come to cover the hairs over part of their length to force them to take a specific direction and contribute to increase their rigidity.
- the throat can also be opened in a direction at an angle with the longitudinal axis of the applicator, so as to incline the plane of the bundle of bristles serving the application of the product in relation to the longitudinal axis of the applicator, in view by example to facilitate the handling of the applicator.
- the brush is fixed at both ends to the connecting element, preferably bearing between its ends against the front edge of the connecting element.
- the brush can then rest against a curved surface, for example convex or concave outward, giving it the profile suitable for the use it is destiny.
- the soul of the brush extends rectilinearly in a direction at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the applicator, for example to facilitate the makeup operation.

- a brush of the brush type represented schematically on 4 and made in a conventional manner by disposing a ply of bristles 30 between two metal strands 31, 32 that are twisted to form a core of longitudinal axis Z, the bristles being held by clamping between the turns of the soul thus produced.
- the two metal strands 31, 32 can come from the same U-folded wire, the diameter of this wire being for example between 2/10 and 9/10 mm.
- the two strands may come from two separate wires twisted continuously and cut into sections to form as many brushes.
- the longest hairs 30 intended for the application of the product extend after machining radially from the core into a span area angular to less than 180 ° about the Z axis, as shown in Figures 5 and 6.
- the brush may be grinded to impart hair to the ends a particular shape, for example fork, and / or possibly a flame for form balls at the ends of the hairs.

- the brush 5 is threaded by the side into the groove 35, in the direction of the arrow I of Figure 7.
- the longest bristles 30 exit through aperture 34 as shown in FIG. 8 to form a surface application of the product.
- the shortest hairs come to bear against the surface inside the groove 35 to hold the brush by friction.
- the bristles 30 protruding from the connecting member extend in an angular sector of extent b can be less than or equal to the angular extent has above, depending on whether we seek to achieve a more or less flat application element, even tapered.
- FIG. 10 shows the profile of a brush which is machined so that the hair envelope presents along the axis longitudinal of the brush a diabolo profile.
- the brush of FIG. 10 then undergoes additional machining so as to keep only long hairs in a predetermined angular area around the soul, like the brush shown in Figure 5.
- the brush of FIG. 1 is chamfered at its ends by in order to facilitate insertion into the groove 35 by one or other of its ends.
- Such teeth may be useful for combing eyelashes during the application of mascara.
- FIG. 12 illustrates a variant embodiment in which the bulge 33 has an outer surface of substantially oval cross-section.
- the bristles of the brush exit through an opening 38 which is deeper but narrower that in the embodiment of Figure 9 and whose edges are substantially parallel, so that the portions of the bristles that extend out of the link are substantially parallel.
- FIG. 13 shows another variant embodiment in which the opening 39 of the groove is oriented in a direction B making an angle c with the longitudinal axis X.
- This inclination of the bristles of the brush can be useful to facilitate the handling of the applicator during makeup.
- the edges of the throat opening can be diverging and / or shallow so that the bundle of bristles extending out of the element of link is flared as shown in Figure 8, convergent and / or wider for obtain a tapered beam as shown in Figure 13, or substantially parallel as in the embodiment of Figure 12.
- the bulge 33 may comprise, as illustrated in FIG. teeth 40 extending from one side of the opening 34 for example.
- teeth 40 can be used for example to comb the eyelashes before, during or after the application of mascara using the brush 5.
- This may include bristles over substantially the entire width 1 of the bulge 33 or, as shown in Figure 15, have only bristles that on either side of the teeth 40, or under the latter.
- the core constituted by twisted strands 31 and 32 are straight.
- the connecting element referenced 60, comprises the front a rounded edge 61 against which is applied a brush 62.
- the ends of the armature 63 of this brush 62 are fixed in holes 64 made in the connecting member 60 on either side of the rounded edge 61.
- the brush is here fixed to the connecting element by its two ends only.
- FIGS. 18 and 19 Non-limiting examples are shown in FIGS. 18 and 19 of embodiments in which the core of the brush follows a path slightly convex towards the front (FIG. 18) or slightly concave towards the front (FIG. 19), the apparent width d of the brush being in both cases less than the length w of the groove housing the core of the brush.
- the core of the brush may also extend, as illustrated in FIG. 20, rectilinearly but along an axis Y forming an angle g with the longitudinal axis X of the applicator, this angle g being for example between 0 and 45 °.
- Such inclination of the brush may be useful to facilitate the use of the applicator.
- the container comprises a body 70 having a neck 71 in which is inserted a nozzle 72 provided at its end located inside the body 70 of flocked spin lips 73.
- the applicator of which only the application element 76 and the element 75, has a necking 77 coming to position, when the applicator is in place inside the container, at the level of the squeezing lips 73, so that the hairs of the flocking of the latter are not substantially compressed by the connecting element 75.
- the connecting element 75 also has a collar 71 facing succession of sealing lips 78 applied to the insert 72 to close the container tightly when the applicator is in place.
- the spacing of the spin lips 73 is chosen according to the thickness of the link element and that of the application element, in order to spin the latter without hindering the removal of the applicator.
- the invention makes it possible to benefit from the advantages associated with the manner of implanting the bristles in this type of brush.
- the invention makes it possible to use bristles having the more diverse, for example bristles made by extrusion and having, as shown in Figure 22 in cross-section, several portions 79 interconnected by preferential deformation zones forming hinges 80.
- the fact that the bristles of the brush are squeezed substantially parallel to their axis avoids the emission of unpleasant suction noise met with known applicators using a brush-type brush whose soul is oriented parallel to the direction in which the applicator is extracted from the container.
- the brush used to make the application element can have bristles of different diameters and / or different sections and / or different materials, possibly flocked, the wires constituting the core of the brush being be twisted one way or the other and if necessary more than two.
- the diameter of the bristles is for example between 0.04 and 0.7 mm, and preferably between 0.06 and 0.4 mm.
- the width of the bundle of bristles used for the application of the product, measured perpendicular to the X axis will be preferably equal to at least a quarter of the width of the eyelid when the applicator is intended for the application of mascara on the eyelashes.
- the container may not include a squeezing member but a bread of product disintegrating in contact with the bristles of the brush.
- the container may have various shapes, as may the element of gripping and the connecting element, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
- the device according to the invention is particularly suitable for the application of mascara on the eyelashes but it is not beyond the scope of the present invention to use it for apply any other product, powdery, liquid or pasty on the eyebrows or hair for example, even on the nails, the skin or the lips, either for make-up or in the part of a cosmetic or pharmaceutical treatment.
