Abstract

The brush comprises a long handle (1) with grip on one end. The opposite end (3) of the long handle has at least one tuft of bristles (4) standing up in an axial direction. At least two at least partly overlapping tufts of bristles are spaced apart to f a cavity in the proximal part of the handle. The handle is formed of at least two tubular bodies (8,9) in each of which is fixed tuft of bristles. The distal ends of the bristle tufts are cut along a common line (16).

Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf einen Pinsel zum Auftragen einer kosmetisehen Flüssigkeit, insbesondere einen Nagellackpinsel, umfassend einen Stiel mit einem endseitigen Griffabschnitt, wobei an dem gegenüberliegenden Ende des Stiels wenigstens ein in axialer Richtung wegstehendes Borstenbündel angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a brush for applying a cosmetic Liquid, in particular a nail polish brush, comprising a Handle with one end grip section, with the opposite End of the stem at least one bristle bundle protruding in the axial direction is arranged.

Herkömmliche Nagellackpinsel sind üblicherweise an der Innenseite einer Schraubverschlußkappe für den Nagellackbehälter angeordnet. Zum Lakkieren eines Nagels umfaßt die Benutzerin die Schraubkappe, taucht den Pinsel in den Nagellack und trägt den Nagellack Strich für Strich auf.Conventional nail polish brushes are usually on the inside of one Screw cap arranged for the nail polish container. For painting of a nail, the user grips the screw cap and dips it Brush in the nail polish and apply the nail polish line by line.

Dabei können sich Probleme ergeben, wenn der Lackvorrat, den der Pinsel beim Eintauchen aufnimmt, nicht ausreicht, um einen vollständigen Nagel zu lackieren. Es muß dann nämlich innerhalb eines Nagels der Auftragsvorgang unterbrochen werden und der Pinsel erneut eingetaucht werden. Da zunehmend von den Benutzerinnen sehr schnell trocknende Lacke verlangt werden, kann es zu einem mindestens partiellen Antrocknen des bereits lackierten Fingernagelteils kommen, so daß mit dem dann neu eingetauchten Pinsel kein sauberer und völlig unsichtbarer Anschluß beim Lakkieren des noch unlackierten Teils des Fingernagels hergestellt werden kann.Problems can arise if the paint supply, the brush when immersed, does not suffice to complete a nail to paint. The order process must then be within a nail be interrupted and the brush dipped again. Because users are increasingly demanding very quick-drying paints be, it can at least partially dry the already painted fingernail part come so that with the then newly immersed Brush not a clean and completely invisible connection when painting of the unpainted part of the fingernail can.

Ein weiteres Problem besteht darin, daß die Benutzerinnen den Fingernagel üblicherweise von der Nagelwurzel zum oberen Rand hin lackieren, d.h. beim Auftragsvorgang liegt der auftragende Pinsel vor dem zu lackierenden Bereich des Nagels, so daß der freie Blick behindert ist. Another problem is that the users have their fingernails usually paint from the nail root to the top edge, i.e. during the application process, the brush to be applied is in front of the one to be painted Area of the nail so that the unobstructed view is obstructed.

Letztlich ist es für die Benutzerin bei herkömmlichen Nagellackpinseln auch schwer, visuell zu beurteilen, ob sich noch ein hinreichender Lackvorrat in einem Pinsel befindet, um gegebenenfalls den nächstfolgenden ganzen Nagel noch zu lackieren.Ultimately, it is for the user with conventional nail polish brushes also difficult to visually assess whether there is still sufficient paint located in a brush to possibly follow the next whole Nail to paint yet.

Aus DE 37 08 984 A1 ist ein Nagellackpinsel bekannt, wobei an zwei gesonderten, voneinander beabstandeten Stielen je ein Borstenbüschel befestigt ist. Diese Anordnung dient dazu, in unterschiedliche Teil-Vorratsbehälter eingetaucht zu werden, um auf diese Weise unterschiedliche Flüssigkeiten, welche z.B. unterschiedlich gefärbt sind, gleichzeitig auftragen zu können.A nail polish brush is known from DE 37 08 984 A1, two separate, spaced stems each attached a tuft of bristles is. This arrangement is used in different partial storage containers to be immersed so that different liquids which e.g. are colored differently, apply simultaneously can.

Aus DE-GM 83 04 403 U1 ist ein Pinsel zum Auftragen von Reinigungs- und Schmierstoffen bekannt, der zwei Borstenbüschel umfaßt. Am Stiel kann stirnseitig eine Öffnung vorgesehen sein, die zum Zuführen von Schmiermittel aus einem Vorratsbehälter dient. Zu diesem Zweck ist der vorbekannte Pinsel auf einen Sprühkopf aufsetzbar.DE-GM 83 04 403 U1 is a brush for applying cleaning and Lubricants known that comprises two tufts of bristles. On a stick can be provided on the front side an opening for feeding Lubricant from a reservoir is used. For this purpose the previously known brush can be placed on a spray head.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Pinsel der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbessern, daß der Nagelauftrag vereinfacht und das Lackierergebnis optimiert wird.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is a brush to improve the type mentioned so that the nail application simplified and the painting result is optimized.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß wenigstens zwei im proximalen Stielbereich unter Ausbildung einer Ausnehmung voneinander beabstandete, sich distal hiervon wenigstens teilweise überlappende Borstenbündel vorgesehen sind. This object is achieved in that at least two in the proximal stem area, forming a recess from one another spaced apart, at least partially overlapping distally thereof Bristle bundles are provided.

Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird erreicht, daß die Auftragsbreite pro Strich verbreitert wird, so daß sich innerhalb eines Nagels weniger Ansätze ergeben. Die Speicherkapazität für Nagellack wird erhöht, wobei auch der freie Zwischenraum im proximalen Bereich aufgrund der Kapillarwirkung als Speicherreservoir zur Verfügung steht. Gleichzeitig läßt sich der Füllzustand dieses Reservoirs optisch kontrollieren und eröffnet der freie Zwischenraum zwischen den wenigstens zwei Borstenbündeln einen Durchblick auf die zu lackierende Fläche.This configuration ensures that the order width per line is widened so that there are fewer approaches within a nail. The storage capacity for nail polish is increased, with the free Space in the proximal area due to the capillary action as Storage reservoir is available. At the same time, the fill level can be checked visually inspect this reservoir and open the free space a view between the at least two bundles of bristles on the surface to be painted.

Vorzugsweise ist der Stiel durch wenigstens zwei Rohrkörper gebildet, wobei in jedem Rohrkörper ein Borstenbündel befestigt wird. Die Befestigung kann in herkömmlicher Weise, z.B. durch Stanzen oder durch das Einbringen von vorgefertigten Borstenbündeln erfolgen.The stem is preferably formed by at least two tubular bodies, wherein a bundle of bristles is attached to each tube body. The attachment can be used in a conventional manner, e.g. by punching or by insertion prefabricated bundles of bristles.

Zur Schaffung eines weiteren Lackreservoirs kann vorgesehen sein, daß der wenigstens abschnittsweise innen hohle Stiel wenigstens eine seitliche Ausnehmung aufweist, durch die beim Eintauchen kosmetische Flüssigkeit, insbesondere Nagellack, in den Innenbereich des Stiel eindringen kann und von dort weiter zu den Borstenbündeln.To create a further paint reservoir it can be provided that the hollow stem at least in sections, at least one lateral stem Has recess through which cosmetic liquid when immersed, especially nail polish, can penetrate into the interior of the stem and thence to the bundles of bristles.

Die distalen Enden der Borstenbündel können durch eine gemeinsame Schnittlinie beschnitten sein, welche insbesondere senkrecht zur gemeinsamen Längsachse, schräg zur gemeinsamen Längsachse oder annähernd kreisabschnittförmig hierzu verläuft.The distal ends of the bristle bundle can be joined by a joint Be cut line, which in particular perpendicular to the common Longitudinal axis, oblique to the common longitudinal axis or approximately runs in a circular segment.

Alternativ kann vorgesehen sein, daß jedes Borstenbündel individuell beschnitten ist, wobei hierdurch eine Längenabstufung oder auch zwei nebeneinanderliegende Spitzen realisierbar sind. Alternatively, it can be provided that each bundle of bristles is trimmed individually is, whereby a gradation in length or two adjacent to each other Tips are realizable.
