Alternate embodiments comprise an integrally-formed, linear brush component including a plurality of connected hub elements, each hub element carrying a bristle. Each bristle includes an elongated shaft having multiple cleaning structures extending outwardly. A webbing comprises an array of holes positioned to receive the bristles of the linear brush component, each of the bristles being received within and extending outwardly from respective holes in the webbing.

A head for an oral care implement has a longitudinal length extension extending between a proximal end and a distal end, an outer rim and an inner portion. The head comprises at least two tooth cleaning elements of a first type and a plurality of tooth cleaning elements of a second type, the tooth cleaning elements of the first type being arranged at the inner portion of the head, and the plurality of tooth cleaning elements of the second type being arranged at the outer rim of the head, thereby surrounding the tooth cleaning elements of the first type. The tooth cleaning elements of the first type are tufts of a first type comprising a plurality of filaments. The tufts of the first type are arranged substantially parallel to each other. Each tuft has a substantially rectangular or oval cross-sectional shape with a longer length extension from about 4 mm to about 8 mm and a shorter width extension from about 1.5 mm to about 2.5 mm, wherein the longer length extension defines an angle α with respect to the longitudinal length extension of the head of about 25° to about 60°.

A mascara brush having a centre made of at least two wire sections twisted together along a longitudinal axis of the wire core, and having a bristle covering made of plastic bristles formed by filaments, each of which bristles is held in a clamping manner between the two wire sections, and which bristles are formed with a wedge-shaped bristle tip or without a wedge-shaped bristle tip on their free ends. At least one portion of the bristles has a bristle coating made of a first softer material, and a bristle core that is joined to the bristle coating and made of a second harder material, and at least these bristles have a transverse cut, in the form of a simple wedge, on one side or on two sides, at least partially on their radially outward free ends, and comprise a wedge-shaped bristle tip having at least one cut surface forming a wedge.

A mascara packaging set includes a container with a wiper having an aperture and a mascara composition stored within the container. The mascara composition includes a wax emulsion, at least one polymer, and fibers and has a viscosity in a range of 10,000 cps to 20,000 cps. The kit also includes an applicator configured to extend into the container through the aperture. The applicator has an elongate core and bristles extending radially therefrom. At least one of the bristles is formed from a thermoplastic elastomer having a hardness in the range of 32 shore D to 38 shore D. The bristles form rows along the core in an axial direction, wherein rows of a first pair of adjacent rows are spaced farther apart from each other in a circumferential direction than a second pair of adjacent rows. The first pair of adjacent rows define a reservoir.

A brush-like device that adapts to tangles in hair and allows for easy removal of hair post-groom using uniquely shaped, anisotropic papillae not unlike those found on a feline tongue.

Applicator for applying a product (F) to the eyelashes and/or eyebrows. The applicator includes an applicator member having a core extending along a longitudinal axis (Y), spikes that are carried by the core that have, in face-on view when viewed along the longitudinal axis (Y) of the core (10), a substantially triangular shape over at least 50% of their height (h), with a side that is oriented substantially radially, and have a cross section at the base of the spike taken perpendicularly to this side. satisfying the relationship e/L of between 0.4 and 0.6, where e denotes the thickness of the section measured in the direction of the longitudinal axis (Y) of the core and L denotes the width of the section measured in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (Y) of the core.

A head for a personal care device having a carrier including a front surface, at least one cleaning element partly embedded in the carrier and thus having an embedded cleaning element portion and a non-embedded cleaning element portion extending from the front surface of the carrier between a base end on the front surface and a free end; the embedded cleaning element portion extending from the front surface between a top end on the front surface and a bottom end, wherein the base end of the non-embedded cleaning element portion has a base end cross-sectional shape and a base end cross-sectional area, and the top end of the embedded cleaning element portion has a top end cross-sectional shape that is different to the base end cross-sectional shape and a top end cross-sectional area that is larger than the base end cross-sectional area.

A cleaner includes a main body and a suction head connected to the main body to suck foreign objects into the main body therethrough, the suction head including a housing including a suction port, and a drum module disposed in the housing, and to be rotated to scatter the foreign objects to be sucked through the suction port so that the scattered foreign objects are drawn into the housing through the suction port, and the drum module including a drum body, a first blade coupled to outer circumference of the drum body, a second blade separated from the first blade in a circumferential direction of the drum body and having a mass greater than a mass of the first blade, and a mass compensation member arranged on the outer circumference of the drum body to compensate for a difference in mass between the first blade and the second blade.

The present invention relates to an applicator device for applying a product of the fluid or pasty type to keratin fibres, comprising a central core (1) having an elongate shape which extends along a longitudinal axis XX, at least one row of elongate spikes (2) comprising a first end (20) embedded in the core and a second, free end (21). According to the invention, at least one of the spikes (2) is delimited by a first flat face (200) that is coincident with a longitudinal plane, known as the reference plane P, and by a second flat face (210) that forms an angle of between 10 and 180° with said first flat face, said at least one spike comprising a first region (22) that is embedded in the core (1) and has a substantially constant cross section in the form of a portion of a circle, and a second region (23) having a variable cross section that is situated substantially in the longitudinal continuation of said first region (22).
