Abstract

PCT No. PCT/CH87/00024 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 26, 1987 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 26, 1987 PCT Filed Mar. 4, 1987 PCT Pub. No. WO87/05195 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 11, 1987.The dispenser for applying lacquer, in particular nail-polish comprises a supply chamber, a brush and a dosing device for the adjustment of a flow speed and consequently the thickness of the layer. The brush is, when not used, surrounded by a sponge containing a cleaning fluid, in order to prevent the brush from drying out and getting sticky. The lacquer or nail-polish is hermetically enclosed, so that it remains liquid and does not change its color or viscosity.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Applikator gemäss dem Oberbegriff des ersten Patentanspruches.The invention relates to an applicator according to the preamble of the first claim.

Derartige Applikatoren werden, wie bereits erwähnt, insbesondere für Nagellack benutzt, 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 verwendet 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 used in particular 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. This means that these applicators can be used wherever there is a need to store and precisely apply a resin and lacquer substance to a smaller area.

In der US-A-2 673 362 ist ein Applikator für kosmetische Flüssigkeiten, anscheinend insbesondere für Nagellack, beschrieben, der bei der Herstellung geschlossen wird, und nachher nicht nachfüllbar ist, wenn die darin enthaltene Flüssigkeit verbraucht oder eingetrocknet ist. Dies ist insbesondere bei kostspieligen Ausführungen des Applikators ein Nachteil, weil zum Materialverlust auch der Wertverlust hinzukommt, da der Applikator nicht nachfüllbar ist.US-A-2 673 362 describes an applicator for cosmetic liquids, apparently in particular for nail polish, which is closed during manufacture and cannot be refilled afterwards if the liquid contained therein has been used up or dried up. This is a disadvantage, in particular in the case of expensive designs of the applicator, because in addition to the loss of material there is also the loss of value, since the applicator cannot be refilled.

Ferner ist in der DE-A-1 907 973 ein kosmetischer Stift, insbesondere Lidstrichzeichner, beschrieben, der ebenfalls nicht zum Nachfüllen geöffnet werden kann. Bei dieser Ausführung handelt es sich anscheinend um einen Applikator, der nicht für Nagellack vorgesehen ist.Furthermore, DE-A-1 907 973 describes a cosmetic pencil, in particular an eyeliner, which likewise cannot be opened for refilling. This version is apparently an applicator that is not intended for nail polish.

Schliesslich ist in der FR-A-960 784 ein rohrförmiger, tragbarer Behälter mit einer Bürste für flüssige Fette beschrieben. Diese Ausführung ist insbesondere für Lippenstift vorgesehen, der in der Lage sein sollte, schärfere Konturen zu zeichnen. Dieser Applikator ist nicht den Anforderungen zur Verwendung mit Nagellack angepasst.Finally, FR-A-960 784 describes a tubular, portable container with a brush for liquid fats. This version is especially intended for lipstick, which should be able to draw sharper contours. This applicator is not adapted to the requirements for use with nail polish.

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, nachfüllbar und jederzeit betriebsbereit sein. Der Pinsel soll auch dann nicht austrocknen können, wenn der Vorratsbehälter leer ist.The applicator should be equipped with a soft brush, refillable and ready for use at any time. The brush should not dry out even when the storage container is empty.

Die Harz- und Lacksubstanzen sollen auch während des Auftragens für die Umgebungsluft nicht zugänglich sein.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 paint 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 Restuarationsbetrieb, 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 restoration company.

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. As a result, the nail polish retains its original color and viscosity for much longer than with 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 der 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 Krauftaufwand überwunden werden.So that the piston 3 is not accidentally removed and thus the nail polish flows out, a lock is provided between the outer edge of the sleeve 2 and the innermost part of the piston 3. This lock, which is not shown in detail, can only be overcome with a relatively large amount of effort.

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, this can be done by a cutting device in the innermost part the sleeve 2 or be opened with 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 im 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, in 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 verhindet 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 nochmalieges 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 fitting in the cylinder, which snaps in at the two ends by pressing the applicator together and can be released again by pressing it 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.
