An environmental-friendly paintbrush without bristle-implanting holes includes a handle, a bristle-implanting brush head, and a metal plate. The bristle-implanting brush head may have one end provided with a bristle material-laying trough, and another end connected with the handle. A plastic block may be placed inside the bristle material-laying trough. Bristle material may be filled in an interstitial space between the plastic block and the bristle-implanting brush head. The plastic block is formed with a metal-laying trough. The metal plate is set inside the metal-laying trough. Two ends of the bristle material-laying trough are formed with metal slots provided inside the brush-implanting brush head. Two ends of the metal plate are slotted into the metal slots. A method of processing an environmental-friendly paintbrush without bristle-implanting holes is also disclosed.

The invention relates to an applicator (10) for a cosmetic product comprising a core (11) extending along a main longitudinal extension direction (X), referred to as main direction, and a plurality of protrusions (12) projecting from the core (11), the core (11) comprising a plurality of flexible zones (13a, 13b) arranged in succession along the main direction (X), on which the core (11) is thinned according to a thinning axis (14a, 14b) substantially orthogonal relative to the main direction (X) so as to form two cavities (15a, 15b) that are radially opposed relative to said main direction (X), the applicator (10) comprising at least one flexible zone (13a, 13b) having a thinning axis (14a, 14b) that is angularly offset relative to the thinning axis (14b, 14a) of a flexible zone (13b, 13a) adjacent thereto.

A brush for removing cremated remains from a crematory oven is entirely formed of metal to resist the high temperatures of the oven and has two linear brush assemblies fixed to a top frame. A steel handle extends rearwardly from the frame for grasping by a brush operator. One of the linear brush assemblies has smaller diameter crimped stainless steel bristles and is positioned at the front of the brush, the other of the linear brush assemblies has larger diameter crimped stainless steel bristles and is fixed to the top frame rearward of the front brush assembly. Side brush assemblies extend sidewardly and upwardly of the other two. In operation the brush is inserted at the front of the oven and drawn rearwardly after the cremation such that the rear bristles encounter and withdraw the larger elements of the remains, and the front bristles encounter and withdraw the smaller elements.
