Description

Beschreibungdescription
üppenstifthülselipstick sleeve
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Üppenstifthülse mit Lippenstiftmechanik, bestehend aus einem Schiitzrohr, einem das Schlitzrohr drehbar umgebenden Rohr mit innenliegendem Gewinde und einem im Schlitzrohr beweglich angeordneten Pomadenhalter, der mit Führungsnocken versehen ist, die durch die Schlitze des Schlitzrohres in die Gewindegänge eingreifen.The invention relates to a lipstick sleeve with lipstick mechanics, consisting of a slotted tube, a tube rotatably surrounding the slotted tube with an internal thread and a pomade holder which is movably arranged in the slotted tube and which is provided with guide cams which engage through the slots of the slotted tube in the threads.
Lippenstifthülsen der genannten Art sind allgemein bekannt. Der Nachteil dieser Hülsen besteht darin, daß sich der Lippenstift durch Transportbeanspruchung und/oder klimatische Einflüsse aus dem Pomadenhalter löst, verrrutscht und beim Öffnen der Verschlußkappe herausfällt bzw. in der Verschlußkappe klebt und damit unbrauchbar wird. Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen.Lipstick sleeves of the type mentioned are generally known. The disadvantage of these sleeves is that the lipstick releases from the pomade holder due to transport stress and / or climatic influences, slips and falls out when the closure cap is opened or sticks in the closure cap and is therefore unusable. The invention seeks to remedy this.
Die Erfindung löst die Aufgabe dadurch, daß der Pomadenhalter mit Federelementen versehen ist, die Nocken aufweisen, die sich auf dem Schlitzrohr unter Bildung von Hintergriffen abstützen und das Schlitzrohr mit Ausnehmungen versehen ist, in die die Nocken der Federelemente eingreifen.The invention solves the problem in that the pomade holder is provided with spring elements which have cams which are supported on the slotted tube to form rear grips and the slotted tube is provided with recesses into which the cams of the spring elements engage.
Auf dem Boden des Pomadenhalters kann ein Dorn mit Hintergriffen aufweisender Spitze angeordnet sein.On the bottom of the pomade holder, a mandrel with a tip with rear handles can be arranged.
Die Vorteile der Erfindung sind im wesentlichen darin zu sehen, daß durch die Hintergriffe das Herausrutschen des Lippenstiftes aus dem Pomadenhalter verhindert wird.The advantages of the invention can be seen essentially in the fact that the lip prevents the lipstick from slipping out of the pomade holder.
Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von lediglich einen Ausführungsweg darstellenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigt Figur 1 das Schlitzrohr der Üppenstifthülse mit ausgefahrenem Pomadenhalter und eingeführtem Lippenstift, teilweise geschnitten;The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of drawings which illustrate only one embodiment. It shows Figure 1 shows the slotted tube of the Uppenstift sleeve with extended pomade holder and inserted lipstick, partially cut;
Figur 2 den Schnitt II - II von Figur 1 ;Figure 2 shows the section II - II of Figure 1;
Figur 3 den Schnitt III - III von Figur 1 ;Figure 3 shows the section III - III of Figure 1;
Figur 4 die Lippenstifthülse mit eingefahrenem Pomadenhalfter, teilweise geschnitten undFigure 4 shows the lipstick sleeve with retracted pomade holster, partially cut and
Figur 5 den Schnitt V - V von Figur 4.5 shows the section V - V of Figure 4.
Die üppenstifthülse (2) mit Lippenstiftmechanik besteht aus einem Schlitzrohr (5), das von einem drehbaren Rohr (4) mit innenliegendem Gewinde (15) (Doppelgewinde) umgeben ist. Im Schlitzrohr (5) ist der mit Führungsnocken (13) versehene Pomadenhalter (6) beweglich angeordnet. Seine Führungsnocken (13) greifen durch die Schlitze (14) des Schlitzrohres (5) in die Gewindegänge (15) des Rohres (4) ein. Der Pomadenhalter (6) ist mit Federelementen (8) versehen, die Nocken (7) aufweisen. Diese Nocken (7) greifen bei ausgefahrenem Pomadenhalter (6) in Ausnehmungen (9) ein, die das Schlitzrohr (5) an seinem offenen Ende aufweist. Die üppenstifthülse (2) wird bei ausgefahrenem Pomadenhalter (6) (Figur 1) mit üppenstift (1) beladen. Beim Einfahren des Pomadenhalters (6) durch entsprechendes Drehen des Rohres (4) verlassen die Nocken (7) die Ausnehmungen (9) und stützen sich auf dem Schlitzrohr (5) ab. Dabei werden die Federelemente in den Lippenstift gedrückt. Die dabei entstehenden Hintergriffe (21) gehen mit dem ü'ppenstift (1) eine formschiüssige Verbindung ein, die ein Herausrutschen des Uppenstiftes (1) aus dem Pomadenhalter (6) verhindert. Die Rippen (10) sichern den üppenstift (1) gegen axiales Verdrehen im Pomadenhalter (6). Die Haftung des uppenstiftes (1) im Pomadenhalter (6) kann noch durch einen Dorn (11) verbessert werden, der auf dem Boden des Pomadenhalters (6) angeordnet ist und eine mit Hintergriffen (22) versehene Spitze (12) aufweist. The lipstick sleeve (2) with lipstick mechanism consists of a slotted tube (5) which is surrounded by a rotatable tube (4) with an internal thread (15) (double thread). The pomade holder (6) provided with guide cams (13) is movably arranged in the slotted tube (5). Its guide cams (13) engage through the slots (14) of the slot tube (5) in the threads (15) of the tube (4). The pomade holder (6) is provided with spring elements (8) which have cams (7). When the pomade holder (6) is extended, these cams (7) engage in recesses (9) which the slotted tube (5) has at its open end. The lipstick sleeve (2) is loaded with lipstick (1) when the pomade holder (6) (FIG. 1) is extended. When the pomade holder (6) is retracted by turning the tube (4) accordingly, the cams (7) leave the recesses (9) and are supported on the slotted tube (5). The spring elements are pressed into the lipstick. The resulting undercuts (21) go to the ü 'ppenstift (1) a formschiüssige a compound which effectively prevented from slipping out of the Uppenstiftes (1) from the lipstick holder (6). The ribs (10) secure the üppenstift (1) against axial rotation in the pomade holder (6). The adhesion of the soup pin (1) in the pomade holder (6) can be further improved by a mandrel (11) which is arranged on the bottom of the pomade holder (6) and has a tip (12) provided with rear handles (22).
