Abstract
A mascara applicator includes a receptacle, a pre-stripper and an end stripper, wherein the pre-stripper is associated with a brush and the end stripper is associated with a shaft. The shaft in turn is fixed to the brush and a screw cap. In the screwed-in position, the shaft is simultaneously grasped by segments of the pre-stripper and by stripper lips of the end stripper. Also, the pre-stripper has radially elastic segments which can pivot around a pivoting edge and which have slits which can be changed in width whereby radial forces can be transmitted to the segments by means of a spring loop.
