Variants are known. Above all, mixing soft and hard bristles and / or bristle-finished parts made up of long and short brush bristles allows one part of the brush to have a particular application function and another part to have It is also known to first have a combing function. Nevertheless, the possibility of remodeling / deformation of such existing applicators is limited by the manufacturing technology. Conventional brush bristles have a diameter of at least 3 mils (0.003 inches７６0.076 mm).

形から変形した角形であってよい。This object is achieved according to the invention in that, in addition to the bristle-finished parts, the brush bristles extend freely or unrestrictedly into the protruding area and have the brush bristles. The problem is solved by providing a reinforcing element arranged between them. It is advantageous if the reinforcing element has a shape, in particular like a coil spring made of metal or plastic, whose diameter is smaller than the diameter of the bristle part of the finished brush. The cross-section of the coil spring may be circular or a square deformed from a circle.

It allows the use of small amounts of fibers and also very fine or soft fibers. In particular, the combing function is significantly increased by the relative hardness provided by the coil spring.

持される。Further, according to the embodiment according to the present invention, it is possible to increase the diameter of the wire core of the applicator by handling a small amount and / or fine fiber and simultaneously using a wire having a relatively large diameter for the wire core. It is. The spirals of the individual brush bristles, which are far apart from each other, have been formed around the wire core of the applicator, because they are stabilized by elastic spring elements for every two adjacent spirals. It is possible to effectively deter unwelcome lumps of mascara. This reduces the stickiness of the mascara liquid in a lump around the wire core, and at the same time maintains the quality of unused mascara liquid.
