DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present application. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely some rather than all of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

It should be noted that the terms “first”, “second”, and so on in the description and claims of this application and in the above accompanying drawings are intended to distinguish similar objects but do not necessarily indicate a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the objects used in such a way may be exchanged under proper conditions to make it possible to implement the described implementations of this application in sequences except those illustrated or described herein. Moreover, the terms “include”, “have” and their variants mean to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a list of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units which are clearly listed. Instead, they may include other steps or units which are not expressly listed or inherent to such a process, method, product, or device.

For ease of description, spatially relative terms, such as “above”, “on the upper side of”, “on the upper surface of” and “on”, can be used to describe the spatial positional relationship between components or features shown in the figure. It should be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the components in use or operation in addition to those shown in the figure. For example, if a component in the figure is inverted, it is described as a component “above other component or structure” or “on other component or structure”. Therefore, the component will be positioned as “below other component or structure” or “under other component or structure”. Therefore, the exemplary term “above” may include both orientations “above” and “below”. The component may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated by 90 degrees or in other orientations), but the relative description of the space should be explained accordingly.

As shown in FIGS. 1-19, an applicator device includes first application assembly 10 and second application assembly 20. The first application assembly 10 includes application portion 16 and mounting portion 17. First bristle 12 is provided on the application portion 16. Bending portion 24 and second bristle 25 are provided on the second application assembly 20. The second application assembly 20 is sleeved on the first application assembly 10 along an axial direction of the first application assembly 10. The bending portion 24 hooks the mounting portion 17 along a first direction of the mounting portion 17 so as to fix the second application assembly 20 on the first application assembly 10. The first direction is not parallel to the axial direction of the first application assembly 10. As shown in FIG. 1, an X-axis direction is defined as a radial direction of the first application assembly 10, and a Y-axis direction is defined as the axial direction of the first application assembly 10. The first direction is not parallel to the axial direction of the first application assembly 10, which means that the first direction may be any direction other than the axial direction of the first application assembly 10. Optionally, an included angle between the first direction and the axial direction of the first application assembly 10 ranges from 45° to 135°. Optionally, the first direction refers to the radial direction. The first application assembly 10 is divided into the application portion 16 and the mounting portion 17 along its axial direction. The application portion 16 is configured to provide the first bristle 12. The mounting portion 17 is configured to mount the first application assembly 10 and the second application assembly 20 in a brush rod. The second application assembly 20 is sleeved on the first application assembly 10 along the axial direction of the first application assembly 10. The bending portion 24 on the second application assembly 20 hooks the first application assembly 10 along a first direction of the first application assembly 10. Thus, a falling risk of the second application assembly 20 from the axial direction of the first application assembly 10 is effectively reduced. Traditionally, the first application assembly and the second application assembly are only fixed along the axial direction, and are separated easily in use. In the present application, the first bristle 12 and the second bristle 25 are provided. The first bristle 12 and the second bristle 25 may be made of different materials, or the first bristle 12 and the second bristle 25 are different in length and density. Therefore, the present application meets different makeup requirements, lowers a makeup cost, and simplifies a makeup process.

The applicator device further includes a brush rod. The mounting portion 17 of the first application assembly 10 is inserted into the brush rod. The mounting portion 17 is fixedly connected to the brush rod. The mounting portion 17 and the brush rod may be fixedly connected together by dotting, clamping, gluing, etc. Optionally, the first application assembly and the brush rod are made of a plastic material, and are fixed by the dotting. Point D in FIG. 22 is a dotting position of the mounting portion 17. The first application assembly 10 and the brush rod are fixed by dotting the point D. Since the second application assembly 20 and the first application assembly 10 are fixed through the bending portion 24 in the first direction, namely there is a binding force between the first application assembly and the second application assembly in the radial direction, the first application assembly and the second application assembly are combined more firmly to a lower a risk of separation between the second application assembly and the first application assembly. After the first application assembly and the second application assembly are assembled to the brush rod, the second application assembly 20 does not fall from the brush rod individually. This prolongs a service life of the applicator device.
