Abstract
Abstract Applicators for coloring eyelashes, in which an applicator member, wand or dipper is disposed in a container for a cosmetic, such as mascara, and is pulled outwardly through an elastomer wiper in the container when it is to be used, the wiper removing excess mascara from the applicator member. The inner portion of the applicator member comprises longitudinally spaced tines, with the wiper contacting the entire perimeter or periphery of the applicator member, including its tine portion, to remove substantially all excess mascara from the perimeter of the applicator member, including the entire perimeter of its tines, as the member is pulled from the container. Mascara remains in the spaces between the tines only for application to the eyelashes. The tine portion is generally elliptical or oval in shape, effecting deformation of the wiper when the tine portion is moved therethrough with the deformed or stretched wiper remaining in contact with the entire convex surface of the generally elliptical tine portion.
