Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Applikator mit Vorratsbehälter zum Auftragen von Harz- und Lacksubstanzen, insbesondere Nagellack.The invention relates to an applicator with a reservoir for applying resin and lacquer substances, in particular nail polish.

Derartige Applikatoren werden, wie bereits erwähnt, vorzugsweise für Nagellack verwendet, sind aber auch für eine Reihe weiterer Verwendungsarten geeignet. So können sie beispielsweise zur Ausbesserung von Lackschäden an Autos oder zum Auftragen von Chemikalien in Laboratorien benutzt werden. Somit sind diese Applikatoren überall dort einsetzbar, wo es sich um das Speichern und_das genaue Anbringen einer Harz-und Lacksubstanz auf eine kleinere Fläche handelt.As already mentioned, such applicators are preferably used for nail polish, but are also suitable for a number of other types of use. For example, they can be used to repair paint damage to cars or to apply chemicals in laboratories. Thus, these applicators can be used wherever it is a question of storing and applying a resin and lacquer substance to a smaller area.

Bei herkömmlichen Ausführungen befindet sich der Nagellack meistens in einem Gefäss, in dem ein Pinsel eingetaucht ist, der mit einem Schraubverschluss einstückig verbunden ist. Der bei diesen Ausführungen verwendete Pinsel besteht aus Haaren, Textil- oder Kunstfasern und ist für das Auftragen des Nagellacks sehr gut geeignet. Der Pinsel bleibt immer betriebsbereit, weil er, sofern ausreichend Nagellack im Gefäss vorhanden ist, in diesem eingetaucht bleibt.In conventional designs, the nail polish is usually in a vessel in which a brush is immersed, which is connected in one piece with a screw cap. The brush used in these designs consists of hair, textile or synthetic fibers and is very suitable for applying nail polish. The brush always remains ready for use because, if there is sufficient nail polish in the container, it remains immersed in it.

Ein Nachteil dieser Ausführung besteht aber darin, dass der Nagellack relativ früh eintrocknet, weil das Gefäss immer während des Auftragens, das bisweilen unterbrochen werden kann, immer offen bleibt. Ferner besteht eine grosse Gefahr darin, dass das Gefäss versehentlich umgekippt oder auf den Boden gekippt wird.A disadvantage of this design, however, is that the nail polish dries up relatively early because the container always remains open during application, which can sometimes be interrupted. There is also a great risk that the vessel will accidentally tip over or tip onto the floor.

Ferner besteht ein Nachteil darin, dass das Gefäss oder die Flasche meistens auf einen Tisch in der Nähe gestellt wird, so dass bei der Bewegung des Pinsels vom Tisch bis zum Finger Tropfen entstehen und herunterfallen können.Another disadvantage is that the container or bottle is usually placed on a table nearby, so that drops can fall and fall off when the brush is moved from the table to the finger.

Wenn der Nagellack ausfliesst oder abtropft, hinterlässt er auf Kleider, Möbeln und Teppiche Flecken, die schwer oder unmöglich zu entfernen sind, so dass Teppiche oder Kleidungsstücke oft ersetzt und Möbel neu lackiert werden müssen.If the nail polish flows out or drips off, it leaves stains on clothes, furniture and carpets that are difficult or impossible to remove, so that carpets or clothing items often have to be replaced and furniture repainted.

Zur Behebung dieser Probleme wurde bereits eine filzstiftartige Ausführung entwickelt, in welcher der Pinsel deshalb durch einen Filzkörper ersetzt wurde, weil Probleme mit der Reinhaltung und Betriebsbereithaltung des Pinsels auftraten. Diese Ausführung ist aber deshalb unvorteilhaft, weil ein Filzstück nicht zum Auftragen einer Flüssigkeit in gleicher Weise, wie ein Pinsel geeignet ist. Erstens ist er nicht so weich, wie ein Pinsel und zweitens wird er nach kurzer Zeit hart und ist deshalb zum Auftragen von-Nagellack ungeeignet.To remedy these problems, a felt pen-like design has already been developed, in which the brush has been replaced by a felt body because of problems with keeping the brush clean and ready for operation. However, this embodiment is disadvantageous because a piece of felt is not suitable for applying a liquid in the same way as a brush. Firstly, it is not as soft as a brush and secondly, it becomes hard after a short time and is therefore unsuitable for applying nail polish.

Zudem wurde z.B. in der DE-OS 35 20 523 ein Gerät zum Auftragen von kosmetischen Flüssigkeiten oder Schreibflüssigkeiten offenbart. Diese Ausführung hat eine Schreibspitze, die zum Auftragen von Schminke im Augenbereich geeignet ist, jedoch trotzdem nicht zum Auftragen von Nagellack verwendbar ist, weil die Konstruktion für eine harte Bürste ausgelegt ist.In addition, e.g. in DE-OS 35 20 523 discloses a device for applying cosmetic liquids or writing liquids. This version has a writing tip that is suitable for applying make-up in the eye area, but is still not suitable for applying nail polish because the construction is designed for a hard brush.

Eine weitere deratige Ausführung ist in der DE-OS 36 05 506 beschrieben, bei der zudem ein Lufteinführungsdurchgang vorgesehen ist, was aber zum Eintrocknen des Nagellacks führen würde.Another such embodiment is described in DE-OS 36 05 506, in which an air introduction passage is also provided, but this would lead to the nail polish drying out.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es somit, einen Applikator mit einem Vorratsbehälter zum Auftragen von Harz- und Lacksubstanzen, insbesondere Nagellack, zu schaffen, der die Nachteile bestehender Ausführungen nicht aufweist.The object of the invention is therefore to create an applicator with a storage container for applying resin and lacquer substances, in particular nail polish, which does not have the disadvantages of existing designs.

Dabei soll der Applikator mit einem weichen Pinsel ausgestattet sein, der jederzeit betriebsbereit ist und auch dann nicht austrocknen kann, wenn der Vorratsbehälter leer ist. Die Harz- und Lacksubstanzen sollen auch während des Auftragens für die Umgebungsluft nicht zugänglich sein.The applicator should be equipped with a soft brush that is ready for use at all times and cannot dry out even if the storage container is empty. The resin and lacquer substances should not be accessible to the ambient air even during application.

Der Applikator soll einen Vorratsbehälter für die Flüssigkeit aufweisen und bei jeder üblichen Umgebungstemperatur in einer beliebigen Lage und ohne Leckgefahr in einer Handtasche mitgeführt werden können.The applicator should have a storage container for the liquid and can be carried in a handbag at any usual ambient temperature in any position and without risk of leakage.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäss mit den Merkmalen im Kennzeichnungsteil des ersten Patentanspruches gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention with the features in the characterizing part of the first claim.

Ausführungsformen sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen umschrieben.Embodiments are described in the dependent claims.

Der so geschaffene Applikator hat sich als sehr zweckmässig erwiesen, weil der Pinsel immer weich und betriebsbereit bleibt, so dass kein zusätzliches Reinigen erforderlich ist. Da ein Nachfüllen des Lacks aus Patronen mehrmals wiederholbar ist, rentiert es sich, den Applikator auch als Luxusausführung herzustellen, so dass er während mehreren Jahren verwendet werden kann, bevor er ersetzt wird. Wenn erforderlich, kann auch der Pinsel mit Halterung auswechselbar sein.The applicator created in this way has proven to be very useful because the brush always remains soft and ready for use, so that no additional cleaning is required. Since refilling the lacquer from cartridges can be repeated several times, it is worthwhile to manufacture the applicator as a luxury version, so that it can be used for several years before it is replaced. If necessary, the brush and holder can also be exchangeable.

Der Applikator ist, im Gegensatz zu bekannten Ausführungen mit einem Gefäss und einem Pinsel im Deckel, auch für Reisen im Auto, Zug und Flugzeug geeignet. Die fingerhutartige Kappe kann leicht mit zwei Fingern einer Hand entfernt und aufgesetzt werden, weshalb eine einhändige Bedienung des Applikators möglich ist. Der Applikator kann in einer Handtasche mitgenommen und unterwegs, z.B. beim Warten auf einer Verkehrsverbindung, oder in einem Restaurationsbetrieb, benutzt werden.In contrast to known designs with a container and a brush in the lid, the applicator is also suitable for travel by car, train and plane. The thimble-like cap can be easily removed and put on with two fingers of one hand, which makes it possible to operate the applicator with one hand. The applicator can be carried in a handbag and on the go, e.g. be used while waiting for a traffic connection or in a restaurant.

Wegen der Einschliessung des Nagellacks in einem Vorratsbehälter, ist Sauerstoffzufuhr nicht möglich. Dadurch behält der Nagellack seine ursprüngliche Farbe und Viskosität viel länger als bei herkömmlichen Ausführungen.Because the nail polish is enclosed in a storage container, oxygen supply is not possible. This means that the nail polish retains its original color and viscosity a lot longer than conventional designs.

Nachfolgend werden Ausführungsbeispiele des erfindungsgemässen Applikators anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 einen Längsschnitt durch einen Applikator mit einem Kolben in ausgezogener Stellung, und
  • Fig. 2 einen Längsschnitt durch den Applikator nach Fig. 1 mit eingedrücktem Kolben und entfernter Kappe.
Exemplary embodiments of the applicator according to the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. Show it:
  • Fig. 1 shows a longitudinal section through an applicator with a piston in the extended position, and
  • Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal section through the applicator of FIG. 1 with the piston pressed in and the cap removed.

In Fig. 1 und 2 ist ein Applikator 1 mit einer Kappe 4 und einem Kolben 3 dargestellt, der in der Längsrichtung in einer Hülse 2 hin- und herschiebbar ist. Dabei kann die Hülse 2 mit nicht dargestelltem Innengewinde versehen sein, in das ein ebenfalls nicht gezeigtes Aussengewinde am Kolben 3 eingreift. Statt dem Gewinde kann der Kolben 3 mit einem O-Ring 11 ausgestattet sein, der satt gegen die Innenwand der Hülse 2 anliegt und somit erstens den Kolben 3 gegen die Hülse 2 abdichtet und zweitens den Kolben 10 in einer bereits eingestellten Lage festhält. Wenn der Kolben 3 vollständig eingeschoben oder eingeschraubt ist, muss Nagellack nachgefüllt werden. Dies kann entweder durch Eingiessen aus einem Behälter oder durch Einschieben einer nicht gezeigten Patrone erfolgen. In beiden Fällen muss der Kolben 3 vollständig ausgezogen werden.1 and 2, an applicator 1 is shown with a cap 4 and a piston 3, which can be pushed back and forth in a sleeve 2 in the longitudinal direction. The sleeve 2 can be provided with an internal thread, not shown, in which an external thread, likewise not shown, engages on the piston 3. Instead of the thread, the piston 3 can be equipped with an O-ring 11 which fits snugly against the inner wall of the sleeve 2 and thus firstly seals the piston 3 against the sleeve 2 and secondly holds the piston 10 in an already set position. If the plunger 3 is fully inserted or screwed in, nail polish must be refilled. This can be done either by pouring from a container or by inserting a cartridge, not shown. In both cases, the piston 3 must be pulled out completely.

Durch Verschieben des Kolbens 3 kann der Druck auf den Nagellack eingestellt, d.h. erhöht oder reduziert werden, um dadurch die Strömungsgeschwindigkeit, bzw. die Schichtdicke zu beeinflussen.By moving the piston 3, the pressure on the nail polish can be adjusted, i.e. can be increased or reduced in order to influence the flow velocity or the layer thickness.

Damit der Kolben 3 nicht unbeabsichtigt herausgenommen wird und somit der Nagellack ausfliesst, ist eine Sperre zwischen dem äusseren Rand der Hülse 2 und dem innersten Teil des Kolbens 3 vorgesehen. Diese nicht detailliert gezeigte Sperre kann nur mit relativ grossem Kraftaufwand überwunden werden.So that the piston 3 is not accidentally removed and thus the nail polish flows out, there is a barrier between the outer edge of the sleeve 2 and the innermost part of the Piston 3 provided. This lock, which is not shown in detail, can only be overcome with a relatively large amount of force.

Zum Nachfüllen mit einer Patrone kann diese durch eine Schneidevorrichtung im innersten Teil der Hülse 2 oder mittels einer Schere vor dem Einführen geöffnet werden.For refilling with a cartridge, it can be opened by a cutting device in the innermost part of the sleeve 2 or by means of scissors before insertion.

Am inneren Ende ist die Hülse 2 durch ein Formstück 5 abgeschlossen, in dessen Mitte sich ein Kanal 7 zum Durchlassen von Nagellack befindet, rund um welchen die Borsten des Pinsels 6 eingegossen sind.At the inner end, the sleeve 2 is closed by a shaped piece 5, in the middle of which there is a channel 7 for the passage of nail polish, around which the bristles of the brush 6 are cast.

Die Kappe 4 ist fingerhutartig ausgebildet und hat im Inneren einen Schwamm 8 zur Aufname einer Flüssigkeit 9 zur Reinigung und zum Bereithalten des Pinsels 6. Der Schwamm 8 ist benachbart zur Aufnahmefläche für das Formstück 5 mit einer Abdeckung oder Schablone 12 zur Halterung des Schwamms 8 und ggfs. zur Führung des Pinsels 6 beim Einschieben, damit sich die Borsten im Schwamm 8 nicht festhaken und verbiegen.The cap 4 is formed like a thimble and has a sponge 8 inside for receiving a liquid 9 for cleaning and keeping the brush 6 ready. The sponge 8 is adjacent to the receiving surface for the molding 5 with a cover or template 12 for holding the sponge 8 and If necessary, to guide the brush 6 when pushing in, so that the bristles do not get caught and bend in the sponge 8.

Die Reinigungsflüssigkeit 9 besteht beispielsweise aus einem Azeton- oder einem Glykolderivatengemisch. Dabei kann der Schwamm 8 zuinnerst einen Hohlraum zur Aufnahme eines Vorrats an Reinigungsflüssigkeit 9 aufweisen. Die Schablone 12 ist derart ausgebildet, dass die Verdampfung der Reinigungsflüssigkeit 9 stark verzögert wird.The cleaning liquid 9 consists for example of an acetone or a glycol derivative mixture. In this case, the sponge 8 can have a cavity at the inside for receiving a supply of cleaning liquid 9. The template 12 is designed in such a way that the evaporation of the cleaning liquid 9 is greatly delayed.

Die Kappe 4 mit Inhalt ist für die exklusiveren Ausführungen getrennt lieferbar und kann nach Wunsch ausgewechselt und auf die Hülse 2 aufgeschoben oder mittels Gewinde daran befestigt werden.The cap 4 with content is available separately for the more exclusive versions and can be replaced as desired and pushed onto the sleeve 2 or attached to it by means of a thread.

Damit der Nagellackfluss verhindert wird, wenn der Applikator nicht benutzt wird, kann im Bereich des Formstücks im Zylinder eine Sperre vorgesehen werden, die durch Zusammendrücken des Applikators an den beiden Enden einschnappt und durch nochmaliges Drücken wieder gelöst wird. Die eigentliche Sperre kann beispielsweise aus aufeinanderliegenden Kegelstumpfflächen bestehen.So that the flow of nail polish is prevented when the applicator is not in use, a lock can be provided in the area of the shaped part in the cylinder, which locks in by pressing the applicator at both ends and by again pressing is released again. The actual lock can consist, for example, of truncated cone surfaces.

Damit die Bedienung vereinfacht oder das Aussehen verschönert wird, kann die Hülle 2 aussen eine modegerechte Form aufweisen und entsprechend farbig ausgebildet sein.So that the operation is simplified or the appearance is beautified, the cover 2 can have a fashion-conforming shape on the outside and can be appropriately colored.

Da die bestehenden Ausführungen nicht für Harz- und Lacksubstanzen bzw. Nagellack geeignet sind, weicht die vorliegende Ausführung stark von diesen ab. Unter anderen wurde eine starke Vereinfachung erzielt. Ferner wurde eine genaue Dimensionierung des Kanals festgelegt, um den steten Durchfluss der Harz- und Lacksubstanzes oder des Nagellacks zu erzielen.Since the existing versions are not suitable for resin and lacquer substances or nail polish, the present version differs greatly from these. Among other things, a great simplification was achieved. In addition, an exact dimensioning of the channel was defined in order to achieve the constant flow of the resin and lacquer substance or the nail lacquer.
