Abstract

A bristle is provided. A first end of the bristle serves as a free end, and a second end of the bristle serves as a root. A cross section of the bristle is in a closed shape defined by at least two lines. Each of the lines is straight or curved. The bristle is twisted along a circumferential direction of its own axis. A mascara brush includes a core and at least one bristle. A root of the bristle is provided on the core, and a free end of the bristle is provided away from the core. A single row of bristles are spaced apart along an axis of the core, or multiple rows of bristles are spaced apart along the axis of the core and arranged radially along a circumferential direction of the core.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mascara brush, comprising a core and a set of bristles, wherein a first end of each bristle of the set of bristles serves as a free end, and a second end of the bristle serves as a root, wherein the root of the bristle is provided on the core, and the free end of the bristle is provided away from the core; wherein the mascara brush includes at least one of: a single row of bristles spaced apart along an axis of the core, or multiple rows of bristles spaced apart along the axis of the core and spaced apart radially along a circumferential direction of the core; and wherein at least one of: two adjacent rows of bristles are parallel to each other, or two adjacent rows of bristles are staggered from each other along the axis of the core.

2. The mascara brush according to claim 1 , wherein a same row of bristles are identical in shape, and the two adjacent rows of bristles have an identical twisted direction or different twisted directions.

3. The mascara brush according to claim 1 , wherein the mascara brush comprises one core; bristles having at least one shape are provided on the core; and a shape feature of the bristles comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of a shape of a cross section, a number of twisted side edges, a twisted position, a twisted angle and a twisted direction.

4. The mascara brush according to claim 1 , wherein the core is rod-like; the bristle is provided at a first end of the core; and a side section of the core is rectangular at a second end, and isosceles trapezoidal at the first end.

5. The mascara brush according to claim 1 , wherein the bristle is twisted entirely, the free end of the bristle is twisted, the root of the bristle is twisted, a middle portion of the bristle is twisted, or the free end and the root of the bristle are twisted.

6. The mascara brush according to claim 1 , wherein the cross section of the bristle is in a centrosymmetric shape or an axisymmetric shape.

7. The mascara brush according to claim 6 , wherein the cross section of the bristle is in any one selected from the group consisting of a square shape, a cross shape, an I shape, a petaloid shape, an octagon, a rectangle, a rounded rectangle, a triangle, an ellipse, a trapezoid, a convex trapezoid and a concave trapezoid.

8. The mascara brush according to claim 7 , wherein when the bristle is in any one selected from the group consisting of the cross shape, the I shape and the octagon, a groove formed by a concave portion on the cross section of the bristle is a spiral groove.

9. The mascara brush according to claim 7 , wherein cross-sectional shapes at different heights of a same bristle are identical, and cross-sectional areas at different heights of the same bristle are identical or different.

10. The mascara brush according to claim 6 , wherein a cross-sectional area of the bristle from the root to a tip is decreased linearly.
