Patent ID: 7254860

Claim:
A mascara brush comprising a plurality of bristles ( 2 ) held between two twisted wire segments ( 3 , 4 ), wherein the length of bristles ( 2 ) are essentially equal at the starting point of trimming and after trimming have varying lengths created by the trimming, wherein the brush ( 1 ) incorporates a first outer face of a predefined geometry created in a first trimming process of the plurality of bristles after twisting, wherein the first outer face is formed by the tips of first trimmed bristles ( 2 ), wherein a portion of the first trimmed bristles is trimmed by a second trimming process, so that at least a portion of second trimmed bristles ( 9 ) have a shorter length than the first trimmed bristles; wherein the tips ( 8 ) of said portion of second trimmed bristles form a second outer face ( 7 ), the surface of which is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the twisted wire segments ( 3 , 4 ) and is down in a perpendicular direction to the longitudinal axis of the twisted wire segments along the first trimmed bristles; wherein the tips ( 8 ) of the second trimmed bristles ( 9 ) each lie in a cross-sectional view on an orthogonal straight line relative to said longitudinal axis of the twisted wire segments ( 3 , 4 ) extending at a distance to the twisted wire segments; and wherein in the finalized brush the tips of the first trimmed bristles extend beyond the orthogonal straight trimming line ( 7 ) of the second trimmed bristles and the second trimmed bristles and the first trimmed bristles are intermingled in the region radially inside the orthogonal straight trimming line ( 7 ).
