Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf eine Bürste, insbesondere zum Färben von Wimpern oder Haaren, umfassend einen Stiel und eine Mehrzahl von von diesem im wesentlichen radial wegstehenden Borsten, wobei der Stiel durch einen ersten Schenkel einer pinzetten- bzw. scherenartigen Anordnung gebildet ist, und wobei ein zweiter Schenkel dieser Anordnung im Bereich seines freien Endes ein Widerlager für die Borsten des ersten Schenkels derart aufweist, daß bei der Handhabung die zu behandelnden Wimpern bzw. Haare zwischen die freien äußeren Enden der beiden Schenkel einschließbar sind. Eine solche Bürste ist aus US-A-5 007 442 bekannt.The invention is directed to a brush, in particular for dyeing Eyelashes or hair comprising a stem and a plurality of this essentially radially projecting bristles, the stem through a first leg of a pair of tweezers or scissors is formed, and with a second leg of this arrangement in the area its free end is an abutment for the bristles of the first leg has such that the eyelashes to be treated during handling or hair can be enclosed between the free outer ends of the two legs are. Such a brush is known from US-A-5 007 442.

Derartige Bürsten, z.B. in Form von Mascara-Bürstchen dienen dazu, Mascara-Flüssigkeit auf die Wimpern zu bringen. Dabei muß der Auftrag so erfolgen, daß die Wimpern einerseits gleichmäßig eingefärbt werden und andererseits verhindert wird, daß zuviel Flüssigkeit aufgetragen wird, da ansonsten die Gefahr einer Klümpchenbildung oder eines Verklebens der Wimpern besteht. Um ein derartiges Verkleben der Wimpern oder eine Brückenbildung zwischen einzelnen Wimpern zu verhinden, sollen derartige Mascara-Bürstchen neben einem guten Rückhalte- und Abgabevermögen für die Mascara-Flüssigkeit auch eine Kämmwirkung aufweisen. Zu diesem Zweck hat man bereits versucht, Mascara-Bürstchen mit unterschiedlichen Fasern bzw. unterschiedlich steifen Fasern auszustatten, wobei ein Teil dieser Fasern sich durch besonders günstige Transporteigenschaften für die Mascara-Flüssigkeit und der andere Teil der Fasern durch vorteilhafte Kämmwirkungen auszeichnen sollte. Die durch eine solche Ausgestaltung theoretisch scheinbar erzielbaren Eigenschaften kommen in der Praxis aber in dieser Form nicht zum Tragen. Such brushes, e.g. in the form of mascara brushes serve mascara liquid to put on the eyelashes. The order must be like this done that the eyelashes are evenly colored on the one hand and on the other hand, it prevents that too much liquid is applied because otherwise there is a risk of lump formation or sticking of the Eyelashes. To such a gluing of the eyelashes or one To prevent bridging between individual eyelashes should be such Mascara brush in addition to good retention and dispensing ability for the mascara liquid also has a combing effect. To this Purpose has been tried to use mascara brushes with different Fibers or differently stiff fibers, some of which these fibers stand out for their particularly favorable transport properties the mascara liquid and the other part of the fibers through beneficial Combing effects should distinguish. By such an arrangement theoretically seemingly achievable properties come in practice not to be worn in this form.

Beim Färben oder Tönen von Kopfhaar ergibt sich ebenfalls das Problem eines gleichmäßigen Auftragens, wobei in diesem Fall noch hinzukommt, daß die Färbe- bzw. Tönungsmittel relativ aggressiv sind und dementsprechend beim Auftragen Vorkehrungen zum Schutz der Hände der auftragenden Person und der Umgebung getroffen werden müssen.The problem also arises when coloring or tinting scalp hair even application, in which case there is also that the coloring or tinting agents are relatively aggressive and accordingly Precautions to protect the hands of the person applying Person and the environment must be taken.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Bürste der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, daß der Färbemittel- bzw. Mascara-Auftrag optimiert und ein gleichmäßig ansprechendes Erscheinungsbild der geschminkten Wimpern bzw. der gefärbten Haare erzielt wird.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is a brush of the type mentioned at the outset so that the colorant or Mascara application optimized and a uniformly attractive appearance the painted eyelashes or colored hair becomes.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß wenigstens einer der beiden Schenkel innen rohrartig hohl ausgebildet ist und einerseits mit einem Vorratsbehälter verbunden ist und andererseits mit nach außen führen Durchlaßöffnungen versehen ist.This object is achieved in that at least one the two legs are hollow on the inside and on the one hand is connected to a storage container and on the other hand to the outside lead passage openings is provided.

Es ist dementsprechend möglich, eine sehr kompakte Auftrags- bzw. Mascara-Einheit zu realisieren, bei welcher es zur Erzielung einer Befeuchtung der Borsten nicht erforderlich ist, diese in den Vorratsbehälter einzutauchen, sondern die Mascara-Flüssigkeit aus dem Inneren der Bürste heraus aufzubringen.Accordingly, it is possible to have a very compact application or mascara unit to realize in which it is used to achieve humidification the bristles are not required to be immersed in the storage container, but the mascara liquid from inside the brush to bring out.

Günstigerweise ist weiterhin vorgesehen, daß durch die Relativbewegung der beiden Schenkel zueinander ein Pumpvorgang aktiviert wird, um Flüssigkeit aus dem Vorratsbehälter zu dem wenigstens einen Bürstchen zu pumpen. Zu diesem Zweck ist im einfachsten Fall die Außenwand des Vorratsbehälters wenigstens teilweise elastisch ausgebildet, so daß gleichzeitig mit einer Betätigung der Pinzettenanordnung auch Flüssigkeit gepumpt wird. Darüber hinaus wäre aber auch das Vorsehen einer gesonderten Pumpanordnung denkbar, wobei eine Membran oder ein Kolben einer solchen Pumpanordnung dann über ein Gelenk durch die Pinzettenbewegung aktiviert würde. Conveniently, it is also provided that by the relative movement the two legs to each other a pumping process is activated to fluid from the storage container to the at least one brush pump. For this purpose, the outer wall of the storage container is in the simplest case at least partially elastic, so that at the same time liquid is also pumped with actuation of the tweezers arrangement becomes. In addition, however, the provision of a separate one Pump arrangement conceivable, with a membrane or a piston such a pump arrangement then via a joint through the tweezers movement would be activated.

Es kann weiterhin vorgesehen sein, daß in dem Vorratsbehälter entweder Mascara-Flüssigkeit, Flüssigkeit zum Abschminken oder Haarfärbemittel vorrätig gehalten wird, so daß die Klammerwirkung auch dazu benutzt werden kann, einen erhöhten Druck zum Entfernen von Mascarasubstanz beim Abschminken heranzuziehen.It can also be provided that either Mascara liquid, make-up removal liquid or hair dye is kept in stock so that the clamp effect is also used increased pressure to remove mascara substance to use when removing makeup.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Die Zeichnung zeigt schematische Darstellungen verschiedener Ausführungsformen von Bürsten in Form von Mascara-Bürstchen bzw. von Mascara-Einheiten mit einem derartigen Bürstchen.

Die beiden Schenkel 4a und 5a sind an einem gleichzeitig als Verschluß dienenden Haltegriff 11 auswechselbar befestigt, der federelastisch ausgebildet ist und, wie durch die Pfeile 12 angedeutet, zum Aufspreizen neigt und durch Druck zwischen Daumen und Zeigefinger bei der Benutzung zusammendrückbar ist. In der Zeichnung ist gestrichelt eine Trennwand 13 eingezeichnet, die den Behälter 8 in zwei Teilbehälter auftrennen kann, so daß dort gegebenenfalls unterschiedliche Flüssigkeiten bevorratet werden können, was z.B. dazu verwendet werden kann, erst bei dem Kontakt der beiden Flüssigkeiten beim Auftrag eine Reaktion auszulösen, eine Entmischung zu verhindern usw.In Fig. 2 is a mascara unit using a schematic Brushes shown, the mascara container 8 on its top has two openings 9, 10, in each of which one Legs 4a, 5a engages an arrangement according to the invention, whereby bristles 3a are in turn arranged at the free outer ends. The two Legs 4a and 5a are at the same time serving as a closure Handle 11 interchangeably attached, the spring-elastic is and, as indicated by the arrows 12, tends to spread and compressible by using pressure between thumb and index finger during use is. In the drawing, a partition 13 is shown in broken lines, which can separate the container 8 into two sub-containers, so that different liquids may be stored there can, e.g. can only be used when the to trigger a reaction between both liquids when applied, segregation to prevent etc.

In Fig. 3 ist eine Variante der Lösung nach Fig. 2 dargestellt, wobei der Behälter 8bdurch eine Öffnung 14 im Mittelbereich und zwei Teilbehälter aufgeteilt ist, wobei in jedem Teilbehälter jeweils ein Schenkel 4b, 5b angeordnet ist. Eine Trennwand 13b kann die beiden Teilbehälter im unteren Bereich trennen. Der Griff 11b ist wiederum elastisch aufspreizbar ausgebildet und dient gleichzeitig als Verschluß.3 shows a variant of the solution according to FIG. 2, wherein the container 8b through an opening 14 in the central region and two sub-containers is divided, with one leg 4b, 5b is arranged.
