Abstract

Dispenser has a pump action produced by pressing the top of the container which compresses a bellow section (5) to force the product out of a dispensing nozzle (8). Piston (2) in the bottom of the container is drawn upwards during the release stroke of the pump. Cosmetic product contains microcapsules with a diameter of 0.1 to 4 mm, which are ruptured by the pump action through the nozzle to release the contents for application.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung in Form einer vorzugsweise zylindrischen oder ovalen Abgabevorrichtung, die insbesondere aus einem transparenten oder transluzenten Kunststoffmaterial besteht, für ein kosmetisches Mittel, das in einer transparenten, transluzenten oder opaken Grundlage sichtbare Mikroteilchen enthält, die bei der Abgabe aufbrechen und sich homogen in der Grundlage verteilen.The invention relates to packaging in the form of a preferably cylindrical or oval Dispensing device, in particular made of a transparent or translucent Plastic material is used for a cosmetic product that is in a transparent, translucent or opaque base containing visible microparticles when dispensing break up and distribute itself homogeneously in the base.

Kosmetische Mittel, die in einer Grundlage sichtbare Mikroteilchen enthalten, die bei der Applikation durch den dabei ausgeübten Druck zerstört werden und dabei ihren Inhalt freigeben, sind seit langem bekannt.Cosmetic products that contain visible microparticles in a base Application are destroyed by the pressure exerted thereby and their contents release have been known for a long time.

So beschreibt beispielsweise die EP 590 538 B1 eine klare, nach der Anwendung auf dem Haar verbleibende Zusammensetzung zur Pflege desselben, die in einer transparenten Gelgrundlage Mikrokapseln enthält, in denen ein haarkonditionierendes Material verkapselt ist, und die beim Aufbringen auf das Haar aufbrechen und das konditionierende Mittel freigeben. Nachteilig dabei ist, daß eine gleichmaßige Verteilung nicht erfolgt und Kapselwandrückstände im Haar verbleiben.For example, EP 590 538 B1 describes a clear, after application on the Hair remaining composition to care for the same, in a transparent Gel base contains microcapsules in which a hair conditioning material is encapsulated and which break open when applied to the hair and the conditioning agent release. The disadvantage here is that there is no uniform distribution and Capsule wall residues remain in the hair.

Die Erfindung geht daher von der Aufgabenstellung aus, sichtbare Mikroteilchen, deren durchschnittlicher Teilchendurchmesser bei etwa 0,1 bis 4 mm liegt, enthaltende kosmetische Mittel, insbesondere Haarpflegemittel, zu schaffen, die bei der Abgabe des Produktes keinerlei Rückstände auf dem Substrat, d.h. dem Haar oder der Haut hinterlassen, sondern vollständig und gleichmäßig in der Grundlage verteilt sind.The invention is therefore based on the task, visible microparticles, the average particle diameter is about 0.1 to 4 mm, containing cosmetic Means, especially hair care products, to create when dispensing the product no residues on the substrate, i.e. to the hair or skin, but are completely and evenly distributed in the base.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß diese Mikroteilchen enthaltenden Mittel in einer Verpackung untergebracht sind, die einen nach oben beweglichen Kolben und einen Verschlußkopf aufweist, der mit dem Körper durch ein Ventil verbunden ist, und in seinem Innern einen elastischen Balg besitzt, der an seinem unteren Ende mit dem Ventil verbunden ist und an seinem oberen Ende in ein Abgaberohr mündet, das in einer mit einer Membran versehenden Ausgabeöffnung endet. This object is achieved in that they contain microparticles Means are housed in a package which has an upwardly movable piston and has a closure head which is connected to the body by a valve, and in inside it has an elastic bellows, which at its lower end with the valve is connected and at its upper end opens into a delivery tube, which in one with a Diaphragm-provided discharge opening ends.

Bei der Abgabe des Mittels durch Druck auf den Verschlußkopf, weitergegeben durch den elastischen Balg, bewegt sich der Kolben nach oben und drückt das fließfähige Produkt durch das Ventil in das Abgaberohr und schließlich über die mit der Membran versehene Ausgabeöffnung nach außen, wobei die im fließfähigen Produkt enthaltenen Mikroteilchen zerstört und deren Inhalt vollständig im restlichen Produkt integriert wird.When dispensing the agent by pressure on the closure head, passed on by the elastic bellows, the piston moves upwards and pushes the flowable product through the valve into the delivery tube and finally over the membrane Dispensing opening to the outside, the microparticles contained in the flowable product destroyed and their content is fully integrated into the rest of the product.

Vorzugsweise besteht der insbesondere zylindrische oder ovale Verpackungskörper aus transparentem oder transluzenten Material, z.B. Polyethylen, Polypropylen oder Polyacetal, so daß die Mikroteilchen vom Verbraucher wahrgenommen werden können.The in particular cylindrical or oval packaging body preferably consists of transparent or translucent material, e.g. Polyethylene, polypropylene or polyacetal, see above that the microparticles can be perceived by the consumer.

Bei den Mikroteilchen handelt es sich nicht nur um Mikrokapseln; es können auch Wachsteilchen und sonstige Teilchen, vorzugsweise solche, die ein aktives Material enthalten, verwendet werden.The microparticles are not just microcapsules; it can too Wax particles and other particles, preferably those containing an active material, be used.

Auch Mikrokapseln, die nicht die klassische Zusammensetzung aus Hülle (Kapselwand) und Inhalt aufweisen, sondern eine durchgehend homogene Zusammensetzung aufweisen, können eingesetzt werden.Also microcapsules that do not have the classic composition of shell (capsule wall) and Have content, but have a consistently homogeneous composition be used.

Die Mikroverkapselung verschiedener Stoffe ist allgemeines Fachwissen und auch bei P. Deasy, Manuf. Chemist, Vol. 54/No. 7 (1984), S. 47, in den Monographien von M. Gutcho, Capsule Technology and Microencapsulation (1972) und J.R. Nixon, Microencapsulation, Vol. 3 of Drugs & Pharmaceutical Science (Marcel Dekker, Inc.) sowie in Seifen-Öle-Fette-Wachse, Vol 106 (1980), S. 271-272 und Vol. 114 (1989), S. 94-95, und in der dort zitierten Literatur beschrieben, auf die Bezug genommen wird.The microencapsulation of various substances is general specialist knowledge and also with P. Deasy, Manuf. Chemist, vol. 54 / no. 7 (1984), p. 47, in the monographs by M. Gutcho, Capsule Technology and Microencapsulation (1972) and J.R. Nixon, microencapsulation, Vol. 3 of Drugs & Pharmaceutical Science (Marcel Dekker, Inc.) as well as in soap-oil-fat waxes, Vol 106 (1980), pp. 271-272 and Vol. 114 (1989), pp. 94-95, and in the cited therein Described literature to which reference is made.

Derartige Zusammensetzungen sind an sich bekannt, neben der bereits erwähnten EP 590 538 B1 wird beispielsweise auf die US-A 4 126 174, die US-A 5 082 661, und die EP-A 261 754 und die DE-C 1 268 316 verwiesen.Such compositions are known per se, in addition to EP 590 538, already mentioned B1 is referred to, for example, US-A 4 126 174, US-A 5 082 661, and EP-A 261 754 and referred to DE-C 1 268 316.

Bei den erfindungsgemäß abzugebenden fließfähigen kosmetischen Mitteln handelt es sich vorzugsweise um Haarpflegemittel, insbesondere transparente oder transluzente Gele wie Haarwasch- und -spülmittel, Haarkuren, Konditioner, sogenannte Leave on-Produkte, die nach der Applikation auf dem Haar verbleiben, Antifett- und Antischuppenpräparate, etc. The flowable cosmetic agents to be dispensed according to the invention are preferably around hair care products, in particular transparent or translucent gels such as Hair washing and rinsing agents, hair treatments, conditioners, so-called leave-on products the application remains on the hair, anti-grease and anti-dandruff preparations, etc.

Deren Zusammensetzungen sind aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, beispielsweise aus der Monographie von K. Schrader, Grundlagen und Rezepturen der Kosmetika, 2. Aufl. (1989, Hüthig Buch Verlag), S. 676-771. Es wird deshalb auf eine ausführliche Aufzählung aller möglichen Bestandteile verzichtet.Their compositions are known from the prior art, for example from Monograph by K. Schrader, basics and formulations of cosmetics, 2nd ed. (1989, Hüthig Buch Verlag), pp. 676-771. It is therefore based on a detailed list of all possible components waived.

Bevorzugt sind, wie bereits ausgeführt, transparente bzw. transluzente Gele. Solche enthalten in wäßriger Grundlage üblicherweise etwa 0,1 bis 2,5, insbesondere etwa 0,25 bis 1,5 Gew.-% eines Verdickungs- und Suspendierhilfsmittels, beispielsweise Hydroxyalkylcellulosen wie Hydroxyethylcellulose oder Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum, Polyvinylpyrrolidon und Polyacrylsäuresalze.As already stated, transparent or translucent gels are preferred. These usually contain about 0.1 to 2.5, in particular about, in an aqueous basis 0.25 to 1.5% by weight of a thickening and suspending aid, for example Hydroxyalkyl celluloses such as hydroxyethyl cellulose or hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, guar Gum, xanthan gum, polyvinyl pyrrolidone and polyacrylic acid salts.

Die Viskosität dieser Grundlage liegt beispielsweise zwischen etwa 1000 und etwa 100 000, insbesondere 2500 bis 75000, vorzugsweise 5000 bis 50 000 mPa.s bei 20°C, gemessen im Brookfield-Viskosimeter (Spindel Nr. 5) bei rpm.The viscosity of this base is, for example, between approximately 1000 and approximately 100,000, in particular 2500 to 75000, preferably 5000 to 50,000 mPa.s at 20 ° C, measured in Brookfield viscometer (spindle no. 5) at rpm.

Für Shampoos liegt die Viskosität natürlich niedriger als für Leave-on-Produkte; dem Fachmann sind die zweckmäßigen Werte und deren Einstellung für den jeweiligen Produkttyp bekannt.
Die Mikroteilchen können ganz oder teilweise aus Wirkstoffen bestehen.The viscosity of shampoos is of course lower than for leave-on products; the person skilled in the art knows the appropriate values and their setting for the respective product type.
The microparticles can consist entirely or partially of active ingredients.

Bei Haarpflegemitteln kommen dabei vorzugsweise haarkonditionierende Substanzen in Betracht, beispielsweise Wachse mit einem Schmelzpunkt von weniger als 70°C, vorzugsweise weniger als 50°C.In hair care products, hair conditioning substances are preferred Consider, for example, waxes with a melting point of less than 70 ° C, preferably less than 50 ° C.

Wenn es sich um echte Mikrokapseln, d.h. Mikroteilchen, die aus einer Hülle und einem darin einschlossenen konditionierenden Material, das beim Zerstören des Wandmaterials frei wird, handelt, können praktisch alle konditionierenden Wirkstoffe verwendet werden.When it comes to real microcapsules, i.e. Microparticles made up of a shell and one inside included conditioning material that is released when the wall material is destroyed, acts, practically all conditioning agents can be used.

Solche sind beispielsweise synthetische und natürliche Fette und Öle sowie Fettalkohole und Fettsäureester. Such are, for example, synthetic and natural fats and oils as well as fatty alcohols and Fatty acid esters.

Geeignete Fette und Öle, zu denen auch Wachse zählen, sind insbesondere natürliche pflanzliche Öle wie Avocadoöl, Cocosöl, Palmöl, Sesamöl, Erdnußöl, Spermöl, Sonnenblumenöl, Mandelöl, Pfirsichkernöl, Weizenkeimöl, Macadamianußöl, Nachtkerzenöl, Jojobaöl, Ricinusöl oder auch Oliven- bzw. Sojaöl, Lanolin und dessen Derivate, ebenso Mineralöle wie Paraffinöl und Vaseline.Suitable fats and oils, including waxes, are especially natural vegetable oils such as avocado oil, coconut oil, palm oil, sesame oil, peanut oil, sperm oil, Sunflower oil, almond oil, peach seed oil, wheat germ oil, macadamia nut oil, evening primrose oil, Jojoba oil, castor oil or also olive or soybean oil, lanolin and its derivatives, as well Mineral oils such as paraffin oil and petroleum jelly.

Synthetische Öle und Wachse sind insbesondere Silikonöle, wie die bekannten Polysiloxane, Polyethylenglykole, etc.
Natürliche Wachse sind beispielsweise niedrigschmelzende Paraffinwachse, Orangenwachs, Apfelwachs, etc.
Weitere geeignete konditionierende Komponenten sind Fettalkohole, vorzugsweise solche mit etwa 8 bis 22 Kohlenstoffatomen im Molekül wie Myristyl-, Cetyl-, Stearylalkohol, Wachsalkohole und Fettsäureester wie Isopropylmyristat, -palmitat, -stearat und -isostearat, Oleyloleat, Isocetylstearat, Hexyllaurat, Dibutyladipat, Dioctyladipat, Myristylmyristat, Oleylerucat, Polyethylenglykol- und Polyglycerylfettsäureester wie PEG-7-glycerylcocoat, Cetylpalmitat, etc.
Selbstverständlich können auch synthetische und natürliche polymere konditionierende Stoffe als oder in den Mikroteilchen eingesetzt werden.
Diese sind bekannt und bedürfen daher keiner weiteren Aufzählung.
Wie bereits eingangs festgestellt, ist die Mikroverkapselung solcher Stoffe an sich bekannt und bedarf deshalb ebenfalls keiner weiteren Erläuterung.
Es wird hierzu, beispielhaft, auf die Ausführungen in der bereits erwähnten EP 590 538 B1 verwiesen.
Der bevorzugte mittlere Teilchendurchmesser der Mikroteilchen liegt zwischen etwa 0,5 und 2,5 mm, insbesondere bei 0,75 bis 2 mm.
Sie stehen vorzugsweise in farblichem Kontrast zu der wäßrigen Grundlage, so daß sie für den Veraucher in der Verpackung sichtbar sind und einen optischen Anreiz ausüben. Synthetic oils and waxes are, in particular, silicone oils, such as the known polysiloxanes, polyethylene glycols, etc.
Natural waxes are, for example, low-melting paraffin waxes, orange wax, apple wax, etc.
Other suitable conditioning components are fatty alcohols, preferably those with about 8 to 22 carbon atoms in the molecule, such as myristyl, cetyl, stearyl alcohol, wax alcohols and fatty acid esters such as isopropyl myristate, palmitate, stearate and isostearate, oleyl oleate, isocetyl stearate, hexyl laurate, dibutyl adate, dibutyl adate, dibutyl adate, dibutyl adate , Myristyl myristate, olerlerucate, polyethylene glycol and polyglyceryl fatty acid esters such as PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate, cetyl palmitate, etc.
Of course, synthetic and natural polymeric conditioning substances can also be used as or in the microparticles.
These are known and therefore do not require any further listing.
As already stated at the beginning, the microencapsulation of such substances is known per se and therefore does not require any further explanation.
For this purpose, reference is made, for example, to the explanations in EP 590 538 B1 already mentioned.
The preferred average particle diameter of the microparticles is between approximately 0.5 and 2.5 mm, in particular 0.75 to 2 mm.
They are preferably in a color contrast to the aqueous base, so that they are visible to the user in the packaging and have a visual appeal.

Falls es sich bei der erfindungsgemäß abgepackten bzw. abzugebenden fließfähigen Zusammensetzung um ein Hautpflegemittel handelt, ist dieses vorzugsweise eine gegebenenfalls transparente oder transluzente Öl-in-Wasser- oder Wasser-in-Öl-Emulsion, jedoch ist auch die Verwendung einer gelförmigen Grundlage, beispielsweise in Form einer Mikroemulsion, möglich.If it is in the flowable packaged or to be dispensed according to the invention Composition is a skin care product, this is preferably one optionally transparent or translucent oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion, however, the use of a gel-like base, for example in the form of a Microemulsion, possible.
