Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf eine Mascara-Einheit umfassend einen an einem Halter befestigten Applikator und einen Vorratsbehälter für Mascara-Flüssigkeit, wobei der Applikator im Lager- und Transportzustand in den Vorratsbehälter eintaucht und zum Auftragen von Mascara aus dem Vorratsbehälter herausbewegbar ist.The invention is directed to a mascara unit comprising one a holder attached to the holder and a reservoir for mascara liquid, the applicator in the storage and transport condition in the Immersed reservoir and for applying mascara from the reservoir can be moved out.

Derartige Mascara-Einheiten sind üblicherweise so aufgebaut, daß der Vorratsbehälter eine Verschlußkappe aufweist, wobei im Bereich der Auslaßöffnung des Vorratsbehälters ein Außengewinde vorgesehen ist, auf welches die Verschlußkappe mit einem Innengewinde aufschraubbar ist. Am inneren Boden der Verschlußkappe ist der Stiel eines Applikators, in der Regel in Form eines Mascara-Bürstchens, befestigt, wobei der Applikator beim Aufstecken der Verschlußkappe in den Behälter eintaucht und die Verschlußkappe dann zum dichten Verschließen aufgeschraubt wird. Umgekehrt wird die Verschlußkappe zur Applikation abgeschraubt und der am Stiel angeordnete Applikator durch Abziehen der Verschlußkappe aus dem Vorratsbehälter herausgezogen, wobei im Bereich der Öffnung eine Abstreifeinrichtung vorgesehen ist, um überflüssige Mascara-Flüssigkeit abzustreifen.Such mascara units are usually constructed so that the reservoir has a closure cap, in the region of the outlet opening an external thread is provided on the reservoir the cap can be screwed on with an internal thread. At the inner bottom of the cap is the stem of an applicator in the Usually attached in the form of a mascara brush, using the applicator when plugging the cap into the container and the Cap is then screwed on for tight sealing. Vice versa the cap is unscrewed for application and the on Applicator arranged by pulling the cap out of the stem Pulled out the storage container, with a stripping device in the area of the opening is provided to wipe off unnecessary mascara liquid.

Solch eine Mascara-Einheit ist aus der US-A- 4165755 bekannt.Such a mascara unit is known from US-A-4165755.

Diese bekannte Ausgestaltung macht es erforderlich, mit der einen Hand den Mascara-Behälter festzuhalten und mit der anderen Hand die Verschlußkappe zu betätigen, d.h. aufzuschrauben und herauszuziehen. Auch während des Auftragens der Mascara-Flüssigkeit auf die Augenwimpern muß die Benutzerin den Behälter gesondert in der Hand halten. This known design makes it necessary to use one hand hold the mascara container and with the other hand the cap to operate, i.e. screw on and pull out. Also while applying the mascara liquid on the eyelashes the user must hold the container separately in her hand.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Mascara-Einheit der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, daß eine vereinfachte Handhabung ermöglicht wird.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is a mascara unit of the type mentioned in such a way that a simplified Handling is made possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß Applikator und Vorratsbehälter als Einheit derart ausgebildet sind, daß der Applikator durch Betätigung mit einer Hand aus dem Vorratsbehälter derart heraus und in diesen hinein bewegt werden kann, daß der Applikator ausschwenkbar gelagert ist.This object is achieved in that the applicator and Storage containers are designed as a unit such that the applicator by actuation with one hand out of the storage container and can be moved into this that the applicator can be swung out is stored.

Hiermit wird eine völlig neue Konzeption realisiert, indem einerseits eine echte Einhandbetätigung ermöglicht wird und andererseits während der Applikation die zweite Hand freibleibt, weil der Vorratsbehälter von dieser nicht mehr gehalten zu werden braucht.A completely new concept is hereby realized, on the one hand by a real one-handed operation is made possible and on the other hand during the Application the second hand remains free, because the reservoir of this no longer needs to be held.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, daß der Applikator in einer kappenartigen Schiebehülse angeordnet ist, welche einen seitlichen Schlitz aufweist, um den ausgeschobenen Applikator ausschwenkbar zu machen. Der Applikator wird also in einer ersten Bewegungsphase zur Ingebrauchnahme durch die Auslaßöffnung aus dem Vorratsbehälter herausgeschoben, und kann dann durch den Schlitz nach außen, vorzugsweise um 180°, verschwenkt werden.In a further embodiment of the invention it can be provided that the applicator is arranged in a cap-like sliding sleeve, which one has lateral slot to swing out the extended applicator close. The applicator is therefore in a first movement phase for use through the outlet opening from the storage container pushed out, and can then go out through the slot, preferably pivoted through 180 °.

Zur Realisierung der Schwenkbewegung sind unterschiedliche Mechanismen vorstellbar. Vorzugsweise kann der Halter des Applikators einen Abschnitt mit einer Zahnung aufweisen, mit der eine Zahnung eines von außen längsverschiebbaren elastischen Bandes kämmt. There are different mechanisms for realizing the swivel movement imaginable. The holder of the applicator can preferably have a section have with a set of teeth with which one set of teeth from the outside combs longitudinally displaceable elastic.

Alternativ kann vorgesehen sein, daß der Halter einen durch eine Öffnung der Schiebehülse betätigbaren Betätigungsabschnitt zur Veranlassung einer Schwenkbewegung um ein Schwenklager aufweist. Hierbei kann die Schwenkbewegung ähnlich der Betätigung eines Feuerzeugs mit dem Daumen einer Hand realisiert werden.Alternatively, it can be provided that the holder one through an opening the actuating section actuatable to cause a sliding sleeve Has pivoting movement around a pivot bearing. Here, the Swivel movement similar to the operation of a lighter with the thumb can be realized with one hand.

Um Probleme hinsichtlich einer vollständigen Benetzung des Applikators bei dickflüssigeren Massen oder nur teilweiser Behälterfüllung zu vermeiden, kann vorgesehen sein, daß in dem Vorratsbehälter ein Mischring angeordnet ist oder daß der Applikator einen teleskopierbaren Stiel aufweist.Problems with complete wetting of the applicator Avoid with thick viscous masses or only partial container filling, can be provided that a mixing ring is arranged in the storage container or that the applicator has a telescopic handle.

Anstelle einer reinen Linearbewegung zum Herausziehen des Applikators aus dem Vorratsbehälter kann dies auch über eine Schraubbewegung bewerkstelligt werden.Instead of a pure linear movement to pull out the applicator this can also be accomplished from the storage container by means of a screwing movement become.

Die Schiebehülse kann einrastbar und/oder gabelartig ausgebildet sein und ihrer Längsbewegung kann ein Anschlag zugeordnet sein.The sliding sleeve can be snap-fitted and / or fork-shaped and a stop can be associated with their longitudinal movement.

Zur Vermeidung von Verschmutzungen kann über den Bereich des Schlitzes eine zusätzliche Kappe oder eine Umverpackung aufgebracht sein.To avoid contamination, use the slot area an additional cap or an outer packaging may be applied.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Dabei zeigen:

Eine in der Zeichnung dargestellte Mascara-Einheit 1 umfaßt einen Behälter 2 mit einem abgerundeten Boden 3 mit einem Innenraum 4 zur Aufnahme von Mascara-Flüssigkeit, an dessen dem Boden 3 gegenüberliegenden Ende ein im Querschnitt verjüngter Hals 5 ausgebildet ist, in den ein Abstreifer 6 eingesetzt ist.A mascara unit 1 shown in the drawing comprises a container 2 with a rounded bottom 3 with an interior 4 for receiving of mascara liquid, at its bottom 3 opposite End is a neck 5 tapered in cross section, into which a Scraper 6 is used.

In den Innenraum 4 taucht ein Applikator, im Ausführungsbeispiel ein Mascara-Bürstchen 7, ein, welches in üblicher Weise durch zwischen verdrillten Drahtabschnitten gehaltene Borsten gebildet ist, wobei das proximale Ende der durch die verdrillten Drahtabschnitte gebildeten Drahtseele 8 in einem Halter 9 befestigt ist.An applicator, in the exemplary embodiment a mascara brush, dips into the interior 4 7, one which is twisted in the usual way by between Wire sections held bristles is formed, the proximal End of the wire core formed by the twisted wire sections 8 is fastened in a holder 9.

Auf den Vorratsbehälter 2 ist eine kappenartige Schiebehülse 10 aufgesetzt, welche an einer Seite einen Schlitz 11 aufweist, dessen Breite in etwa der Breite des Mascara-Bürstchen 7 entspricht.A cap-like sliding sleeve 10 is placed on the storage container 2, which has a slot 11 on one side, the width of which is approximately that Width of the mascara brush 7 corresponds.

Der Halter 9 weist einen kreisabschnittförmigen Bereich mit einer Außenverzahnung 12 auf. Dieser kreisabschnittförmige Bereich wird umschlossen von einem elastischen, in diesem Bereich mit einer Zahnung 14 versehenen Band 13, dessen Zahnung 14 mit der Zahnung 12 des Halters 9 kämmt. The holder 9 has a circular segment-shaped area with external teeth 12 on. This circular segment-shaped area is enclosed of an elastic toothing 14 provided in this area Band 13, the teeth 14 meshes with the teeth 12 of the holder 9.

Das elastische Band 13 erstreckt sich längs einer Seite des Behälters 2 und weist an seinem freien Ende einen Betätigungsabschnitt 15 auf, der, wie durch den Pfeil 16 angedeutet, ein Hin- und Herschieben des elastischen Bandes 13 ermöglicht, so daß durch das Kämmen von dessen Zahnung 14 mit der Zahnung 12 des Halters 9 das Mascara-Bürstchen 7, wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt, nach außen durch den Schlitz 11 um 180° geschwenkt werden kann und somit applikationsbereit ist.The elastic band 13 extends along one side of the container 2 and has at its free end an actuating section 15 which, like indicated by the arrow 16, a back and forth pushing the elastic Band 13 allows so that by combing its teeth 14th with the teeth 12 of the holder 9, the mascara brush 7, as in Fig. 3rd shown, can be pivoted through the slot 11 through 180 ° can and is therefore ready for application.

Damit ein derartiges Ausschwenken ermöglicht wird, ist die Schiebehülse 10 über eine Betätigungshülse 17 ausgehend von dem in Fig. 1 dargestellten Lager- und Transportzustand mit dem Daumen einer Hand in Richtung des Pfeils 16 verschiebbar. Bei dieser Schiebebewegung passiert das mit Mascara-Flüssigkeit getränkte Bürstchen 7 den Abstreifer 6, wobei eine geschlitzte elastische Membran 18 beim Herausziehen des Bürstchens 7 die Öffnung 19 des Behälters 2 verschließt. Ausgehend von dieser Position kann das Mascara-Bürstchen 7 dann mit der gleichen Hand bzw. mit dem gleichen Daumen, der zuvor die axiale Schiebebewegung bewerkstelligt hat, über den Betätigungsabschnitt 15, wie bereits beschrieben, ausgeschwenkt werden. In gleicher Weise kann das Bürstchen zurück in den Behälter 2 zum Transport und zur Aufbewahrung gebracht werden.So that such a pivoting out is possible, the sliding sleeve 10 via an actuating sleeve 17 starting from that shown in FIG. 1 Storage and transport status with the thumb of one hand in the direction the arrow 16 displaceable.
