摘要 |
An apparatus for applying a cosmetic, such as mascara to eyelashes, includes a handle (12), a stem (16) , and an applicator head (20) coupled to the stem (16) and supported for movement relative to the handle (12) in a direction substantially parallel to the stem axis. An actuator moves the applicator head (20) in an axial motion comprising a forward stroke and a reverse stroke. Additionally or alternatively, the actuator may move the applicator head (20) in a composite motion including an axial component substantially parallel to the stem axis and having a forward stroke and a reverse stroke, and a rotational oscillating component. The actuator may be a motor (18) having a rotating motor shaft (19) , and the applicator may further include a transmission coupling disposed between the motor shaft (19) and the applicator head (20) for automatically converting rotation of the motor shaft (19) in one direction into axially reciprocating movement of the applicator head (20). |
