Description
Die Erfindung richtet sich auf einen Behälter für Kosmetika, insbesondere eine Mascara-Einheit, umfassend einen Grundkörper aus einem relativ weichen Material, insbesondere aus einem relativ weichen Kunststoff, wobei der Grundkörper einen einteilig angeformten Gewindeansatz aufweist, auf welchen eine Schraub-Verschlußkappe aufschraubbar ist, wobei im Fußbereich des Gewindeansatzes an der Schulter des Behälters zur Erreichung einer definierten Endlage der Schraub-Verschlußkappe wenigstens eine Anschlagschulter und wenigstens eine Rücklaufsperre in Form einer Rastanordnung vorgesehen sind.The invention relates to a container for cosmetics, in particular a mascara unit, comprising a base body made of a relatively soft material, in particular of a relatively soft plastic, the base body having a one-piece molded attachment, onto which a screw cap can be screwed, at least one stop shoulder and at least one backstop in the form of a latching arrangement being provided in the foot region of the threaded attachment on the shoulder of the container in order to achieve a defined end position of the screw cap.
Behälter für Kosmetika der vorstehend beschriebenen Art weisen in der Regel einen rechteckigen oder ovalen, jedenfalls nicht kreissymmetrischen Querschnitt auf, so daß es zur Erzielung eines ansprechenden Erscheinungsbildes im geschlossenen Zustand sehr wesentlich darauf ankommt, daß die Außenwände von Verschlußkappe und Behälter exakt miteinander fluchten bzw. definiert zueinander orientiert sind. Das gleiche gilt im Prinzip bei im Querschnitt kreisförmigen Behältern bzw. Verschlußkappen dann, wenn ein durchgehender Aufdruck vorgesehen ist, der ebenfalls eine exakte Positionierung der Verschlußkappe erforderlich macht. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß einerseits wenigstens eine Anschlagschulter vorgesehen ist, welche die Endlage definiert begrenzt, andererseits durch eine Rücklaufsperre, welche in der Regel aus einem Rastvorsprung und einer Rastausnehmung besteht, und welche dafür sorgt, daß die Verschlußkappe sich aus ihrer an der Anschlagschulter anliegenden Position nicht zurückbewegen kann. Eine derartige Anordnung ist in unterschiedlichen Ausführungsformen, wie z. B. aus dem DE-GM 87 12 015, bekannt.Containers for cosmetics of the type described above generally have a rectangular or oval, at least not circularly symmetrical cross-section on, so that it is very important to achieve an attractive appearance in the closed state that the outer walls of the closure cap and the container are exactly aligned with one another or are oriented to one another in a defined manner. The same applies in principle to containers or caps that are circular in cross-section if a continuous imprint is provided, which likewise requires exact positioning of the cap. This is achieved in that on the one hand at least one stop shoulder is provided, which defines the end position in a defined manner, on the other hand by a backstop, which usually consists of a locking projection and a locking recess, and which ensures that the closure cap is removed from it on the stop shoulder cannot move back to the adjacent position. Such an arrangement is in different embodiments, such as. B. from DE-GM 87 12 015 known.
Bei Behältern aus relativ harten Kunststoffen hat sich diese Verschlußtechnik sehr gut bewährt. Probleme treten allerdings dann auf, wenn Behälter aus weicheren Kunststoffen, z. B. aus Polypropylen, Polyethylen, Niederdruckpolyethylen, Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol-Copolymeren (ABS) oder Polyethylenterephtalat verwendet werden. Die Verwendung solcher Kunststoffe ist z. B. bei stark wasserhaltigen Flüssigkeiten wegen der günstigeren Barriereeigenschaften dieser weicheren Kunststoffe erforderlich bzw. wünschenswert. Bei derartigen relativ weichen Kunststoffen ist zu beobachten, daß die Rücklaufsperre ebenso wie die Anschlagschulter einem relativ starken Verschleiß unterliegen, indem der relativ weiche Kunststoff beim mehrmaligen Verschließen abgetragen und deformiert wird, so daß die angestrebte definierte Schließposition nicht mehr erreicht wird.This closure technique has proven itself very well for containers made of relatively hard plastics. However, problems arise when containers made of softer plastics, e.g. B. of polypropylene, polyethylene, low pressure polyethylene, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers (ABS) or polyethylene terephthalate can be used. The use of such plastics is e.g. B. with highly water-containing liquids because of the more favorable barrier properties of these softer plastics required or desirable. With such relatively soft plastics it can be observed that the backstop as well as the stop shoulder are subject to a relatively high level of wear and tear, in that the relatively soft plastic is removed and deformed when it is closed several times, so that the desired, defined closing position is no longer achieved.
Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Behälter der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, daß auch bei Verwendung von relativ weichen Kunststoffen für den Behälter selbst bei mehrfacher bzw. häufiger Betätigung des Verschlußsystems dessen Gebrauchseigenschaften unverändert aufrecht erhalten werden.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to design a container of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that, even when using relatively soft plastics for the container, even with repeated or frequent actuation of the closure system, its functional properties are maintained unchanged.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß auf dem Grundkörper des Behälters im Fußbereich des Gewindeansatzes ein Aufsatz aus relativ hartem Material angeordnet ist, an welchem die Anschlagschulter und die Rücklaufsperre ausgebildet sind. Diese Lösung weicht also ab von dem Bestreben der Fachwelt, bei kunststofftechnischen Ausgestaltungen möglichst einstückige Lösungen anzustreben. Vielmehr nimmt man bewußt eine zweiteilige Lösung für den Behälter in Kauf, um bei solchen Behältern, welche ohnehin üblicherweise für relativ hochwertige Produkte verwendet werden, auch wirklich zuverlässige Gebrauchseigenschaften zu erzielen, wobei sich sozusagen als Nebeneffekt noch der herstellungstechnische Vorteil ergibt, daß bei der Auslegung der Blas- oder Spritzform für den Behälter nicht auf die Position der Anschlagschulter und der Rücklaufsperre geachtet zu werden braucht.This object is achieved in that an attachment made of relatively hard material, on which the stop shoulder and the backstop are formed, is arranged on the base body of the container in the foot region of the threaded attachment. This solution therefore deviates from the efforts of the professional world to strive for one-piece solutions in plastics engineering designs. Rather, one consciously accepts a two-part solution for the container, in order to achieve really reliable usage properties in such containers, which are usually used anyway for relatively high-quality products, with a side effect of the manufacturing advantage that the design provides the blow or injection mold for the container is not on the position of the stop shoulder and the backstop needs to be respected.
Günstigerweise ist vorgesehen, daß der Aufsatz einen hülsenförmigen, die Behälteroberseite übergreifenden Ansatz aufweist. Dementsprechend kann der Aufsatz einfach auf den Behälter aufgesteckt werden.Conveniently, it is provided that the attachment has a sleeve-shaped approach that extends over the top of the container. Accordingly, the attachment can simply be attached to the container.
Insoweit ist vorteilhafterweise vorgesehen, daß die Behälteroberseite im Bereich des Hülsen-Ansatzes einen reduzierten Durchmesser aufweist, so daß im montierten Zustand die Außenseite des Hülsen-Ansatzes und des Behälters miteinander fluchten.In this respect, it is advantageously provided that the top of the container has a reduced diameter in the region of the sleeve attachment, so that the outside of the sleeve attachment and the container are flush with one another in the assembled state.
Der Aufsatz wird vorzugsweise aus Metall oder einem relativ harten Kunststoff hergestellt. Bei der Herstellung aus Metall kann mit der Verbesserung der Gebrauchseigenschaften gleichzeitig auch eine Dekorationswirkung erzielt werden.The attachment is preferably made of metal or a relatively hard plastic. In the production of metal, a decorative effect can be achieved at the same time with the improvement of the properties.
Bei einer Ausgestaltung aus Kunststoff kommt z. B. Polyamid oder Polyoxymethylen, Polyformaldehyd, Polyethylenterephtalat oder Polyacetal, insbesondere in metallisierter Form, in Betracht. Vorzugsweise kommt eine gold- oder silberfarbige Metallisierung in Betracht. Auch ohne Metallisierung kann durch die Verwendung eines anderen Kunststoffes eine Dekorwirkung erreicht werden. Dabei kann im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen Dekorationsverfahren, z. B. Rundumprägeverfahren, auch die Behälterschulter selbst dekoriert werden.In a design made of plastic, for. B. polyamide or polyoxymethylene, polyformaldehyde, polyethylene terephthalate or polyacetal, especially in metallized form, into consideration. A gold or silver-colored metallization is preferred. Even without metallization, a decorative effect can be achieved by using a different plastic. In contrast to conventional decoration processes, e.g. B. All-round embossing process, the container shoulder itself can be decorated.
Günstigerweise kann die Schraubverschlußkappe einen Gewindeeinsatz aus einem relativ harten Kunststoff aufweisen. Bei einem solchen Gewindeeinsatz muß ja den Barriereeigenschaften anders als bei dem Behälter praktisch nicht Rechnung getragen werden. Dementsprechend kann durch die Wahl eines relativ harten Kunststoffes Verschleißerscheinungen an den verschlußkappenseitigen Gegenstücken der Anschlagschulter und der Rücklaufsperre vorgebeugt werden.Conveniently, the screw cap can Have thread insert made of a relatively hard plastic. With such a threaded insert, the barrier properties need not be taken into account, unlike the container. Accordingly, by choosing a relatively hard plastic, wear and tear on the counterparts of the stopper shoulder and the backstop on the closure cap side can be prevented.
Mit Vorteil ist weiterhin vorgesehen, daß an dem Einsatz ein Mascara-Auftragselement befestigt ist. Dieses kann mit dem Einsatz einstückig gespritzt sein.It is also advantageously provided that a mascara application element is attached to the insert. This can be injection molded in one piece with the insert.
Bei Ausführungsformen mit rundem Querschnitt kann vorgesehen sein, daß der Aufsatz auf den Behälter formschlüssig verdrehfest aufgesetzt ist, wobei hierzu z. B. parallel zur Längsachse verlaufende Rippen-Nuten-Anordnungen vorgesehen sein können. Bei unrunden Querschnitten ergibt sich eine solche Ausrichtung von selbst. Die Ausrichtung des Aufsatzes relativ zu dem Behälter ist deshalb von Bedeutung, weil Anschlagschulter und Rücklaufsperre in einer definierten Lage zu dem Behältergewinde, insbesondere dem Gewindeanfang stehen müssen.In embodiments with a round cross-section it can be provided that the attachment is placed on the container in a non-rotatable manner, with z. B. parallel to the longitudinal axis rib-groove arrangements can be provided. In the case of non-circular cross-sections, such an alignment results automatically. The alignment of the attachment relative to the container is important because the stop shoulder and backstop must be in a defined position with respect to the container thread, in particular the beginning of the thread.
