Abstract

A cosmetic stick (10) has a housing shaft (12) and a front housing (14). A cosmetic lead (24) may be adjusted in relation to the front opening (40) of the front housing (14) by means of a driving element (22).For the cosmetic lead (24) to be moved both out of the housing and back into the housing, the driving element (22) is designed as a tubular lead holder (26) that can be axially moved in opposite directions in the front housing (14). The cosmetic lead (24) that projects out of the lead holder (26) is secured by a rear fastening section (42) to the lead holder (26). In order to ensure a free play between the cosmetic lead (24) and the front housing (14) or its opening (40) at all times, the outer surface (34) of the cosmetic lead (24) is aligned without any gradations with the outer surface (32) of the lead holder (26). The outer diameter of the outer surface (34) of the cosmetic lead (24) and the outer diameter of the outer surface (32) of the lead holder (26) correspond to the clear inner diameter of the opening (40) of the front housing (14) of the cosmetic stick (10).

Description

KosmetikstiftCosmetic stick
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kosmetikstift mit einem Gehäuseschaft, einem mit dem Gehäuseschaft verbundenen Gehäusevorderteil, und mit einem zum Bewegen einer Kosmetikmine in bezug auf eine Gehäuseöffnung des Gehäusevorderteils vorgesehenen Antriebselement, das als rohrartiges Minenhalteteil ausgebildet ist, das im Gehäusevorderteil axial beweglich angeordnet ist, wobei die mit einem Auftragabschnitt aus dem rohrartigen Minenhalteteil vorstehende Kosmetikmine mit einem rückseitigen Befestigungsabschnitt im rohrartigen Minenhalteteil fixiert ist, und der Auftragabschnitt der Kosmetikmine sich spielfrei durch die Gehäuseöffnung des Gehäusevorderteils hindurcherstreckt.The invention relates to a cosmetic stick with a housing shaft, a housing front part connected to the housing shaft, and with a drive element provided for moving a cosmetic lead with respect to a housing opening of the housing front part, which is designed as a tube-like lead holding part, which is arranged axially movably in the housing front part, the cosmetic lead projecting from the tubular lead holding part is fixed with a rear fastening section in the tubular lead holding part, and the application portion of the cosmetic lead extends through the housing opening of the front housing part without play.
Aus der DE 37 28 427 Cl ist ein Kosmetikstift mit einem Gehäuseschaft und einem mit dem Gehäuseschaft verbundenen Gehäusevorderteil sowie mit einem Antriebselement zumDE 37 28 427 Cl describes a cosmetic stick with a housing shaft and a housing front part connected to the housing shaft and with a drive element for
Belegen einer Kosmetikmine in bezug auf eine Gehäuseöffnung des Gehäusevorderteiles bekannt. Dieser bekannte Kosmetikstift ist entweder mit einer gegossenen oder mit einer extrudierten Kosmetikmine versehen. Beim Vorschub führt die Kosmetikmine in bezug auf das Gehäusevorderteil nicht nur eine Vorschubbewegung sondern gleichzeitig auch eine Drehbewegung aus, was als störend empfunden wird. Gleiches gilt für den aus der GB-A 956 651 bekannten Kosmetikstift. Auch hier führt die Kosmetikmine relativ zum Gehäusevorderteil nicht nur eine Vorschubbewegung sondern gleichzeitig auch eine Drehbewegung durch. Außerdem ist es bei dem Kosmetikstift der zuletzt genannten Art erforderlich, die Kosmetikmine in einen dafür vorgesehenen Befestigungsabschnitt einzustecken und darin zu fixieren, der am Vorderende einer Gewindespindel ausgebildet ist. Die Montage der Kosmetikmine ist bei diesem bekannten Kosmetikstift entsprechend aufwendig.Evidence of a cosmetic lead in relation to a housing opening of the housing front part is known. This known cosmetic stick is either provided with a cast or with an extruded cosmetic lead. When feeding the cosmetic lead not only performs a feed movement with respect to the front part of the housing but also a rotary movement at the same time, which is perceived as disturbing. The same applies to the cosmetic stick known from GB-A 956 651. Here too, the cosmetic lead not only performs a feed movement relative to the front part of the housing, but also a rotary movement at the same time. In addition, in the case of the cosmetic stick of the last-mentioned type, it is necessary to insert and fix the cosmetic lead into a fastening section provided for this purpose, which is formed at the front end of a threaded spindle. The assembly of the cosmetic lead is correspondingly complex in this known cosmetic pencil.
Ein Kosmetikstift in Form eines Lippenstiftes ist aus der DE 37 11 036 AI bekannt. Bei diesem Lippenstift führt die Kosmetikmine bei der Vorschubbewegung in bezug auf das Gehäusevorderteil zwar keine störende Drehbewegung aus, zwischen dem Rand der Gehäuseöffnung des Gehäusevorderteils und der Mantelfläche der Kosmetikmine ist jedoch ein der Wanddicke des Minenhalteteils entsprechender Spalt vorhanden, der als störend empfunden wird.A cosmetic stick in the form of a lipstick is known from DE 37 11 036 AI. With this lipstick, the cosmetic lead does not cause any disruptive rotational movement with respect to the front part of the housing, but there is a gap between the edge of the housing opening of the front part of the housing and the outer surface of the cosmetic lead, which gap is perceived as disturbing.
Die DE 32 15 215 C2 beschreibt einen Kosmetikstift mit einem Gehäuseschaft und einem mit diesem verbundenen Gehäusevorderteil, und mit einem Antriebselement zum Bewegen einer Kosmetikmine in bezug auf eine Gehäuseöffnung des Gehäusevorderteils, wobei dieser Kosmetikstift nur dazu geeignet ist, die Kosmetikmine aus der Gehäuseöffnung nach vorne zu bewegen. Ein Zurückbewegen der Kosmetikmine in das Gehäuse hinein ist bei diesem bekannten Kosmetikstif nicht möglich. Ein Kosmetikstift der eingangs genannten Art ist aus der US 48 20 070 bekannt. Über den Durchmesser der Kosmetikmine sind dieser Druckschrift keine Angaben zu entnehmen. Klar ist jedoch, daß bei diesem bekannten Kosmetikstift das rohrartige Minenhalteteil eine Länge aufweist, die wesentlich kürzer ist als die Längserstreckung des Gehäusevorderteils dieses Kosmetikstiftes. Desweiteren weist dort der Auftragsabschnitt der Kosmetikmine eine Mantelfläche auf, deren Durchmesser kleiner ist als die Außenfläche des Minenhalteteiles. Zwischen demDE 32 15 215 C2 describes a cosmetic stick with a housing shaft and a housing front part connected to it, and with a drive element for moving a cosmetic lead with respect to a housing opening of the housing front part, this cosmetic stick is only suitable for moving the cosmetic lead out of the housing opening to the front to move. Moving the cosmetic lead back into the housing is not possible with this known cosmetic pencil. A cosmetic stick of the type mentioned is known from US 48 20 070. No information can be found in this publication about the diameter of the cosmetic lead. However, it is clear that in this known cosmetic stick the tube-like lead holding part has a length which is considerably shorter than the longitudinal extension of the front part of this cosmetic stick. Furthermore, the application section of the cosmetic lead has a lateral surface whose diameter is smaller than the outer face of the lead holding part. Between the
Minenhalteteil und dem Auftragsabschnitt der Kosmetikmine ist dort also eine Abstufung vorhanden.Mine holding part and the order section of the cosmetic mine there is a gradation there.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Kosmetikstift der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei dem eine dünne Kosmetikmine aus dem Gehäusevorderteil heraus und in das Gehäusevorderteil zurück verstellbar ist, wobei die dünne Kosmetikmine in der Gehäuseö fnung spielfrei vorgesehen ist.The invention has for its object to provide a cosmetic stick of the type mentioned, in which a thin cosmetic lead from the front housing part and into the front housing part is adjustable, the thin cosmetic lead is provided in the housing opening without play.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Kosmetikstift der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Kosmetikmine einen konstanten Durchmesser aufweist, der 2 bis 6 mm beträgt, daß die Mantelfläche des Auftragabschnittes der Kosmetikmine mit der Außenfläche des rohrartigen Minenhalteteils stufenlos fluchtet und daß das rohrartige Minenhalteteil eine Länge aufweist, die geringfügig größer ist als die Längserstreckung des Gehäusevorderteils.This object is achieved according to the invention in a cosmetic stick of the type mentioned at the outset in that the cosmetic lead has a constant diameter which is 2 to 6 mm, that the outer surface of the application section of the cosmetic lead is continuously aligned with the outer surface of the tubular lead holding part and that the tubular lead holding part is one Has length that is slightly larger than the longitudinal extent of the housing front part.
Der erfindungsgemäße Kosmetikstift weist die Vorteile auf, daß bei den oben erwähnten dünnen Kosmetikminen mit konstantem Durchmesser von 2 bis 6 mm zwischen der Kosmetikmine und der Gehäuseöffnung des Gehäusevorderteils Spielfreiheit gegeben ist, wobei es in vorteilhafter Weise möglich ist, die Kosmetikmine nicht nur aus dem Gehäusevorderteil herauszubewegen, sondern auch in das Gehäusevorderteil hinein zurückzubewegen, wobei eine relative Drehbewegung zwischen Kosmetikmine und Gehäusevorderteil vermieden wird.The cosmetic stick according to the invention has the advantages that in the above-mentioned thin cosmetic leads with a constant diameter of 2 to 6 mm between the cosmetic lead and the housing opening of the front housing part There is freedom from play, and it is advantageously possible not only to move the cosmetic lead out of the front housing part, but also to move it back into the front housing part, a relative rotational movement between the cosmetic lead and the front housing part being avoided.
Die Kosmetikmine wird bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Kosmetikstift vorzugsweise in das rohrartige Minenhalteteil von dessen rückseitigem Ende her eingegossen. Ein solches Verfahren sowie eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung dieses Verfahrens ist in der deutschen Patentanmeldung P 44 45 231.4 beschrieben.In the cosmetic stick according to the invention, the cosmetic lead is preferably poured into the tubular lead holding part from its rear end. Such a method and an apparatus for carrying out this method are described in German patent application P 44 45 231.4.
Als vorteilhaft hat es sich erwiesen, wenn bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Kosmetikstift das rohrartige Minenhalteteil im Gehäusevorderteil gegen Verdrehungen gesichert axial verstellbeweglich vorgesehen und an seinem rückseitigen, aus dem Gehäusevorderteil rückseitig herausragenden Endabschnitt mit einem Außengewindeelement versehen ist, und wenn der Gehäuseschaft mit einem Innengewindeabschnitt ausgebildet ist, in welchem das Außengewindeelement des Minenhalteteils schraubbar vorgesehen ist. Durch eine derartige Ausbildung ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß bei einer Verdrehung desIt has proven to be advantageous if, in the case of the cosmetic pencil according to the invention, the tubular lead holding part is provided in the front part of the housing so that it can be rotated axially and is provided with an externally threaded element on its rear end portion protruding from the front part of the housing, and if the housing shaft is formed with an internally threaded section, in which the external thread element of the lead holding part is screwed. Such a design has the advantage that when the
Gehäusevorderteils in bezug auf den Gehäuseschaft die Kosmetikmine aus dem Gehäusevorderteil heraus- oder in das Gehäusevorderteil hineinbewegt wird, wobei eine relative Drehbewegung zwischen dem Gehäusevorderteil und der Kosmetikmine verhindert wird.Front housing part with respect to the housing shaft, the cosmetic lead is moved out of the front housing part or into the front housing part, a relative rotational movement between the front housing part and the cosmetic lead being prevented.
Um Beschädigungen des am rohrartigen Minenhalteteil vorgesehenen Außengewindeelementes bzw. Beschädigungen des Innengewindeabschnittes des Gehäuseschaftes zu verhindern, ist es zweckmäßig, das Außengewindeelement mit einer federnd nachgiebigen ÜberdrehSicherung auszubilden.In order to prevent damage to the external thread element provided on the tubular lead holding part or damage to the internal thread section of the housing shaft, it is expedient to design the external thread element with a resilient overturn protection.
Eine zuverlässige Fixierung der Kosmetikmine am rohrartigen Minenhalteteil ergibt sich, wenn der Vorderabschnitt des rohrartigen Minenhalteteils mit Fixierelementen für die Kosmetikmine ausgebildet ist. Bei diesen Fixierelementen kann es sich um Noppen, Rippen, wenigstens einen abgestuften Absatz, oder und o.dgl. handeln, wodurch insbes. ein Herausfallen der Kosmetikmine aus dem Minenhalteteil bzw. aus dem Gehäusevorderteil des Kosmetikstiftes mit einfachen Mitteln zuverlässig verhindert wird.The cosmetic lead is reliably fixed to the tubular lead holding part if the front section of the tubular lead holding part is designed with fixing elements for the cosmetic lead. These fixing elements can be knobs, ribs, at least one stepped shoulder, or the like. act, which in particular prevents the cosmetic lead from falling out of the lead holding part or from the front part of the cosmetic stick with simple means reliably.
Insbes. dann, wenn bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Kosmetikstift die Kosmetikmine flüchtige Bestandteile aufweist, ist es bevorzugt, das rohrartige Minenhalteteil an seinem rückseitigen Endabschnitt durch ein Dichtungselement abzudichten. Bei diesem Dichtungselement kann es sich um eine Kugel, einen Stopfen, einen Pfropfen o.dgl. handeln.Esp. if, in the cosmetic stick according to the invention, the cosmetic lead has volatile constituents, it is preferred to seal the tubular lead holding part at its rear end section by means of a sealing element. This sealing element can be a ball, a stopper, a stopper or the like. act.
