To provide an applicator for cosmetics which has a general shape long in the longitudinal direction, a fixing part, and a part movable to the fixing part.SOLUTION: A movable part includes a projection part (7) and at least one chain (8) including a strand forming a series of open loops (9). The chain extends nearly in parallel to a longitudinal direction axis line of an applicator. The fixing part is provided with at least two links (6). At least two of the open loops (9) on the respective chains (8) are put through by the links (6) of the fixing part. Therefore, the respective chains (8) of the movable part are fastened to the fixing part with at least one degree of freedom, and relative movements of the chains to the fixing part in the longitudinal direction become possible. This improves quality of application of a product even when the applicator is composed of a rigid material and gives a sense of softness to the applicator. The applicator may be obtained by lamination molding in another mode of the current invention.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】本発明は、長手方向に細長い一般的な形状を有し、固定部と、固定部に対して移動可能な部分とを含む化粧品用塗布具に関する。【解決手段】可動部は、突出部（７）と、一連の開ループ（９）を形成するストランドを含む少なくとも１つの鎖（８）とを備え、前記鎖は、塗布具の長手方向軸線（Ａ）に略平行に延在する。固定部は、少なくとも２つのリンク（６）を備え、各鎖（８）上の前記開ループ（９）のうちの少なくとも２つは、固定部のリンク（６）によって通される。したがって、可動部の各鎖（８）は、固定部に少なくとも１つの自由度で締結され、長手方向における固定部に対する鎖の相対的な移動を可能にする。これは、例え塗布具が剛性材料で構成されていても、製品の塗布の品質を改善し、塗布具に柔軟性の感覚を与える。塗布具は、本発明の別の態様による積層造形によって得られてもよい。【選択図】図１
