ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns an applicator for pasty, liquid or semi-liquid cosmetics materials such as mascara. Known applicators, in which an elongate applicator member formed integrally with a closure for a container of the material, may comprise a twisted wire brush carried at the end of a support shaft, have the disadvantage that the geometry of the brush is fixed. Thus a brush ideal for one type of application will be generally unsuitable for another. Other known applicators having fine end bristles suffer the problem that the bristles become damaged upon insertion through a narrow wiper opening of the material container. The arrangement of the invention avoids these problems by providing a cover for the material retaining part of the elongate member, relative movement between this cover and elongate member being permitted to provide selective and/or adjustable covering of the material retaining part. Thus, the amount of this part which is exposed for use can be varied. The configuration of the exposed part may also change.
