Title:
DISC MASCARA APPLICATOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002007560
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A cosmetic applicator (16) which has an array of independent discs (17) which compress during withdrawal from a container (2) so that excess product can be removed from the applicator by a wiper. After passage through the wiper (24), the discs return to their expanded position by the action of a spring (22). The compressing of the discs during withdrawal allows a controlled amount of product to remain on the applicator for application by the consumer, and the returning of the discs to their expanded position by the spring causes the discs to assume a configuration which allows the applicator to effectively comb and separate the eyelashes.
