Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf eine Mascaraeinheit umfassend einen Behälter mit einem Außengewinde an der Oberseite, eine Schraub-Kappe mit einem Innengewinde sowie einen mit der Schraub- Kappe verbundenen Stiel, an dessen freiem Ende ein Applikator angeordnet ist, der bei auf den Behälter aufgeschraubter Schraub-Kappe in ein im Inneren des Behälters befindliches Mascara-Medium eintaucht.The invention relates to a mascara unit comprising a container with an external thread on the top, a screw cap with an internal thread and a handle connected to the screw cap, at the free end of which an applicator is arranged, which is screwed onto the container -Dip the cap into a mascara medium inside the container.

Mascaraeinheiten bzw. -verpackungen der in Betracht stehenden Art werden verwendet für Mascara, also Wimperntusche, Eyeliner, Cream-on-Shadow, Lipgloss und Nagellack. Je nach aufzutragendem Medium ist der Applikator als Bürste oder Pinsel bzw. als Kunststoff- oder Schaumstoff-Formteil ausgebildet.Mascara units or packaging of the type in question are used for mascara, i.e. mascara, eyeliner, cream-on-shadow, lip gloss and nail polish. Depending on the medium to be applied, the applicator is designed as a brush or as a plastic or foam molded part.

Insbesondere bei dem Vertrieb hochwertiger Mascaraprodukte wird auch für die Verpackung ein großer Aufwand getrieben, um ein Maximum an Funktionalität und dekorativem Erscheinungsbild zu erzielen. Dementsprechend bestehen herkömmliche Mascaraeinheiten aus einer Mehrzahl von jeweils gesondert hergestellten und dann zusammenmontierten Einzelteilen, was zu erheblichen Herstellungskosten führt.Especially when it comes to the distribution of high-quality mascara products, a great deal of effort is also put into packaging in order to achieve maximum functionality and a decorative appearance. Accordingly, conventional mascara units consist of a plurality of individually manufactured and then assembled individual parts, which leads to considerable manufacturing costs.

Bei diesen Einzelteilen handelt es sich bei herkömmlichen Mascara-Verpackungen um die bereits angesprochene Verschlußkappe, den Applikator, das gesonderte Stielteil, welches in der Schraub- kappe festgelegt ist, und eine Übersteckkappe. Die innere Verschlußkappe weist ein Gewinde oder eine Schnapprasterung auf.In the case of conventional mascara packaging, these individual parts are the closure cap already mentioned, the applicator, the separate stem part which is fixed in the screw cap, and a push-on cap. The inner cap has a thread or a snap catch.

Für Geschenkbeilagen, Versuchsverpackungen, Werbeaktionen und ähnliche Einsatzzwecke sind aus den vorstehend genannten Gründen die bekannten Mascaraeinheiten zu teuer.For the aforementioned reasons, the known mascara units are too expensive for gift inserts, trial packaging, advertising campaigns and similar uses.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Mascaraeinheit der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, daß sie bei voller Gebrauchsfähigkeit kostengünstiger herstellbar ist.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to design a mascara unit of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it can be produced more cost-effectively with full usability.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß Schraub-Kappe und Stiel einstückig aus Kunststoff gespritzt sind.This object is achieved in that the screw cap and stem are injection-molded in one piece from plastic.

Hierdurch wird die Zahl der erforderlichen Einzelteile und damit sowohl die Zahl der Herstellungsvorgänge, insbesondere aber auch der Montageaufwand wesentlich reduziert.As a result, the number of individual parts required and thus both the number of manufacturing processes, but in particular also the assembly effort, are significantly reduced.

Weiterhin ist im Rahmen der Erfindung mit Vorteil vorgesehen, daß das Innengewinde der Schraubkappe in einem Bereich in der Nähe des Schraubkappendeckels angeordnet ist. Diese Ausgestaltung unterscheidet sich von allen vorbekannten Lösungen und ermöglicht in Verbindung mit der einstückigen Ausbildung von Applikatorstiel und Schraubkappe spritztechisch die Realisierung einer hinreichend hohen und damit bequem greifbaren, dünnwandigen und nach dem Spritzvorgang entformbaren Kappe.Furthermore, it is advantageously provided in the context of the invention that the internal thread of the screw cap is arranged in an area in the vicinity of the screw cap cover. This configuration differs from all previously known solutions and, in conjunction with the one-piece design of the applicator handle and screw cap, enables a sufficiently high and thus conveniently graspable, thin-walled and demoldable cap to be removed after the injection molding process.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Behälter einen Grundkörper mit einer oberen Schulter und einen sich daran anschließenden Hals aufweist, wobei die Abstreifeinrichtung sich in Höhe der Schulter in radialer Richtung nach innen erstreckt. Der lichte Durchmesser der Abstreifeinrichtung wird so dimensioniert, daß er an den Durchmesser des jeweiligen Applikators angepaßt ist. Die Herstellung eines derart ausgestalteten Behälters kann vorzugsweise im Extrusionsblasverfahren, aber auch z.B. im Spritzblasverfahren oder im sogenannten Ossberger-Verfahren realisiert werden. Weiterhin kann der Behälter auch tubenartig ausgebildet sein und dann gemäß den für Tuben bekannten Verfahren hergestellt sein. Das Abfüllen erfolgt hierbei von der Unterseite her mit großer Füllöffnung, d.h. schnell und mit geringen Kosten.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the container has a base body with an upper shoulder and an adjoining neck, the stripping device extending inward in the radial direction at the level of the shoulder. The clear diameter of the stripping device is dimensioned such that it is adapted to the diameter of the respective applicator. The manufacture of such a container can preferably be carried out in the extrusion blow molding process, but also e.g. in the injection blow molding process or in the so-called Ossberger process. Furthermore, the container can also be tubular and can then be produced according to the methods known for tubes. The filling takes place from the bottom with a large filling opening, i.e. quickly and at low cost.

Die Unterkante der Kappe kann schräg zur Behälterlängsachse verlaufen, wobei durch diese Ausgestaltung sowohl ein spezieller ästhetischer Effekt als auch eine Positionierwirkung verbunden ist. Weiterhin kann die Kappe nach oben hin so verlängert sein, daß eine schräg zur Längsachse verlaufende Oberkante entsteht, welche geschlossen ausgebildet sein kann oder aber als Hohlraum, der dann mit einer entsprechenden Innendekoration ein die Aufmerksamkeit erregendes Erscheinungsbild schafft.The lower edge of the cap can run obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the container, this configuration having both a special aesthetic effect and a positioning effect. Furthermore, the cap can be extended upwards in such a way that an upper edge, which runs obliquely to the longitudinal axis, is formed, which can be designed to be closed or as a cavity, which then creates an attention-grabbing appearance with appropriate interior decoration.

Der Applikator ist vorzugsweise ebenfalls einstückig mit dem Stiel ausgebildet. Dies läßt sich herstellungstechnisch insbesondere dann gut realisieren, wenn der Applikator spatelartig ausgebildet ist, wobei er dann Durchbrechungen und/oder einen gezackten bzw. gefransten Endbereich aufweisen kann. Alternativ kann der Applikator auch eine Mehrzahl von Vorsprüngen in Form von Scheiben, Noppen od.dgl. aufweisen, soweit dies spritztechnisch realisierbar ist.The applicator is preferably also formed in one piece with the handle. In terms of production technology, this can be achieved particularly well if the applicator is spatula-like, in which case it can have openings and / or a jagged or fringed end region. Alternatively, the applicator can also have a plurality of projections in the form of disks, knobs or the like. have as far as this can be achieved by injection molding.

Schließlich kann noch vorgesehen sein, daß am Boden des Behälters eine relativ weiche Einlage, wie Schaumstoff od.dgl., angeordnet ist, in die der Applikator im geschlossenen Zustand der Einheit eingreift. Hierdurch wird verhindert, daß beim Herausziehen des Applikators aus dem Behälter eine sogenannte Fahne mit Mascara-Medium entstehen kann.Finally, it can be provided that a relatively soft insert, such as foam or the like, is arranged on the bottom of the container, into which the applicator engages when the unit is closed. This prevents a so-called flag with mascara medium from being created when the applicator is pulled out of the container.

Wenn im Vorstehenden und nachfolgend von einer Mascaraeinheit die Rede ist, so ist dies im allgemeinsten Sinne als Einheit für kosmetische Applikationen und lediglich bevorzugt als Einheit zum Auftragen von Wimperntusche zu verstehen. Für den Auftrag von Lidschattendekorationen od.dgl. kann eine erfindungsgemäße Einheit ebenfalls verwendet werden, wobei der Applikator dann vorzugsweise aus Schaumstoff oder einem ähnlich saugfähigen Material besteht. Der Applikator kann auch beflockt sein, wobei unterschiedliche Flockenlängen und Materialien in Betracht kommen. In dieser Ausführungsform eignet sich der Applikator zum Auftrag von Lippendekorationen.When a mascara unit is mentioned above and below, this is to be understood in the most general sense as a unit for cosmetic applications and only preferably as a unit for applying mascara. For the application of eyeshadow decorations or the like. A unit according to the invention can also be used, the applicator then preferably consisting of foam or a similarly absorbent material. The applicator can also be flocked, with different flakes lengths and materials come into consideration. In this embodiment, the applicator is suitable for applying lip decorations.

Der Applikator kann weiterhin bei der Verwendung als Eyeliner als spitz zulaufender Pinsel oder als saugfähige Spitze ausgebildet sein.When used as an eyeliner, the applicator can also be designed as a tapered brush or as an absorbent tip.

Hinsichtlich des Behälters sind sowohl transparente Ausführungsformen denkbar, die den Behälterinhalt, also z.B. die Farbe des Mascara-Mediums, erkennen lassen, als auch eingefärbte und nicht transparente Ausführungsformen.With regard to the container, both transparent embodiments are conceivable that the contents of the container, e.g. the color of the mascara medium, as well as colored and non-transparent embodiments.
