A bottle brush cleaning implement that uses a crochet scrubber component and an integrated handle and its method of assembly. The preferred embodiment of the crochet component has four brushes that are constructed out of one piece of crochet material that is attached and is held in place with a pronged holder with resistance barbs. The crochet component is additionally held in place by extra yarn that is attached to the bottom of the crochet scrubber and tied to the handle. The preferred embodiment's handle has a grip area with a series of round protrusions to improve handling. The bottle brush may be produced on a wide variety of shapes, colors, sizes and configurations to meet specific needs or individual preferences.

A broom and a manufacturing method thereof, the broom comprising at least a broom handle (1) and a broom core; the bottom of the broom handle (1) is provided with a transverse plate (2); the broom core is fixed on the transverse plate (2), and comprises more than one bundle of brushes; the brushes are provided with dispersed slender resilient strips (9) thereon for cleaning the ground; the resilient strips (9) take up more than ½ the length of the brushes; the side surface of the resilient strips (9) is arc-shaped, and tapers from top to bottom; the bottom end of the resilient strips (9) is a thickened layer. The brushes of the broom are made by cutting waste beverage bottles, solving the problem of environmental pollution caused by the waste beverage bottles; the manufacturing method is simple, thus reducing the production cost; the bottom end of the resilient strips (9) is a thickened layer (7), thus significantly improving wear resistance and stability and greatly extending service life compared to a bamboo broom.

A cosmetic applicator (3) for applying a composition (P) to human keratinous fibers, notably eyelashes or eyebrows, is provided. The cosmetic applicator (3) comprises: —A stem (5) having at least a rectilinear portion extending along a rectilinear axis (Y), —a brush (10) at one end of the stem (5), the brush comprising: —a curved core (43) having a distal end (46) and defining a convex side and an opposite concave side, the distal end of the core being offset from the rectilinear axis (Y) of the stem on the convex side of the core, —application members (41) supported by the core (43).

The invention relates to a method for producing a brush, particularly in the form of a mascara applicator, with bristles injection molded out of different injection molding compounds, using an injection mold that has a main cavity, which forms the bristle support, and secondary cavities branching off from this, with each secondary cavity forming a single bristle and with at least one first injection molding compound being injected into the main cavity, followed by a second injection molding compound in successive steps; at least one slider is inserted into the main cavity and closes part of the secondary cavities so that the first injection molding compound only travels into another part of the secondary cavities after which the slider is withdrawn and the second injection molding compound is injected so that it travels into the secondary cavities previously closed by the slider.

A mold insert has at least one filament cavity and a stack of at least a first and second insert plates, wherein the first plate has a front face that closely abuts a front face of the second insert plate. A portion of the a filament cavity is provided in at least one of the front faces of the first and second insert plates such that the filament cavity is open at a top surface of the mold insert but does not extend to a bottom surface of the mold insert. A venting cavity is provided in the same front face of the insert plate in which the portion of the at least one filament cavity is provided. The venting cavity, which is in air-conducting connection with the blind-hole end of the filament cavity, has a depth between 1 μm and 20 μm. A method of manufacturing the mold insert includes providing first and second insert plates, forming a portion of a filament cavity into at least one of the front faces of the insert plates, forming a venting cavity into the front face with the filament cavity, and bringing the front faces of the plates into close abutment to form a filament cavity.
