Mascara applicator wand and storage receptacle

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A mascara applicator comprising a series of edge-tapered ring-like discs disposed as an axially extending array along a rod-like wand. The discs have flexible marginal edges and define annular grooves therebetween, the grooves having varying depths. A receptacle for the applicator and for the mascara is provided with an opening having an integral annular restriction serving as a wiping ring to remove excess mascara from the applicator discs as the wand is axially withdrawn from the receptacle for cosmetic use. The upper end of the wand carries a cup-like closure for capping and sealing the receptacle, interimly, during periods of non-use.
