Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf ein Mascara-Bürstchen umfassend eine Mehrzahl von zwischen zwei verdrillten Drahtabschnitten gehaltenen Borsten.The invention is directed to a mascara brush comprising a A plurality of bristles held between two twisted wire sections.

Derartige Mascara-Bürstchen dienen dazu, Mascara-Flüssigkeit aus einem Vorratsbehälter auf die Augenwimpern der Benutzerin zu transferieren. Dabei ist es wichtig, daß die Bürstchen einerseits eine gute Transferkapazität besitzen und andererseits hinreichende Kämm- und Separationseigenschaften, wenn mittels der Bürstchen die Mascara-Flüssigkeit aufgetragen wird.Such mascara brushes are used to make mascara liquid from one Transfer the storage container to the eyelashes of the user. It is important that the brushes have a good transfer capacity possess and on the other hand adequate combing and separation properties, when the mascara liquid is applied using the brush becomes.

Zur Optimierung und Individualisierung der Eigenschaften derartiger Mascara-Bürstchen ist es bekannt, unterschiedliches Borstenmaterial oder Mischungen unterschiedlicher Borsten zu verwenden.To optimize and individualize the properties of such mascara brushes it is known different bristle material or mixtures to use different bristles.

Aus der DE 44 46 521 A1 sind Mascara-Bürstchen bekannt, bei welchen die durch die verdrillten Drahtabschnitte gebildete Seele ösenartig gebogen ist. Die DE 38 35 843 A1 beschreibt ein Mascara-Bürstchen mit Fasern, die durch Auslösen eines Bindemittels aufspaltbar sind.DE 44 46 521 A1 discloses mascara brushes, in which the soul formed by the twisted wire sections bent like an eyelet is. DE 38 35 843 A1 describes a mascara brush with fibers that can be split by triggering a binder.

In DE 198 47 733 ist ein Bürstchen offenbart, bei welchem die Hüllkurve der Borstenspitzen an der konvex vorgewölbten Seite der Seele im Längsschnitt annähernd kreisbogenabschnittförmig und an der konkav zurückspringenden Seite der Seele wenigstens längs einer Schnittlinie annähernd linear ist. DE 198 47 733 discloses a brush in which the envelope curve the bristle tips on the convex bulging side of the soul in longitudinal section approximately in the shape of a circular arc and on the concave recess Side of the soul approximately at least along a cutting line is linear.

Die DE 296 18 479 U beschreibt ein Mascara-Bürstchen, bei welchem die Borsten so beschnitten sind, daß sie einerseits im Querschnitt gesehen derart asymmetrisch sind, daß sich zur einen Seite die Borsten von den verdrillten Drahtabschnitten kürzer und zur anderen Seite weiter weg erstrekken und daß andererseits im Längsschnitt gesehen die Borsten ebenfalls asymmetrisch derart beschnitten sind, daß sie unterschiedliche Längen aufweisen.DE 296 18 479 U describes a mascara brush in which the Bristles are trimmed so that they are seen in cross-section on the one hand are asymmetrical in that the bristles on one side twist away from the other Stretch wire sections shorter and further away to the other side and that, on the other hand, the bristles are also seen in longitudinal section are cut asymmetrically such that they have different lengths exhibit.

Aus der DE 93 16 562 U ist ein Bürstchen bekannt, bei dem die durch die verdrillten Drahtabschnitte gebildete Bürstenseele in sich nochmals verdrillt ist, so daß ein zylindrischer innerer Hohlraum vorliegt.From DE 93 16 562 U a brush is known in which the by twisted wire sections formed brush core twisted again is so that there is a cylindrical inner cavity.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Mascara-Bürstchen der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, daß bei guter Kämmwirkung insbesondere eine optimale Transferkapazität erzielt wird.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is a mascara brush of the type mentioned in such a way that with good Combing effect in particular an optimal transfer capacity is achieved.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß die Borsten wenigstens teilweise als Schlaufen ausgebildet sind. Mit anderen Worten steht also bei einem solchen Bürstchen nicht ein freies Ende, welches nicht zwischen den Drahtabschnitten eingeklemmt ist, frei nach außen weg, sondern ist ebenfalls eingeklemmt, so daß eine schlaufenartige, geschlossene Konfiguration entsteht. Aufgrund der Adhäsion der Mascara-Flüssigkeit bildet sich in diesen Schlaufen beim Herausziehen des Bürstchens aus dem Vorratsbehälter ein Film, der die Schlaufen praktisch vollständig ausfüllt, und welcher erst durch die Berührung mit den Wimpern beim Auftragen wieder gelöst wird, so daß eine vergleichsweise große Menge an Mascara-Flüssigkeit abgegeben werden kann.This object is achieved in that the bristles are at least partially are designed as loops. In other words, it says one Such brushes do not have a free end that does not lie between the Wire sections is pinched, away to the outside, but is also pinched so that a loop-like, closed configuration arises. Due to the adhesion of the mascara liquid forms in it Loops when pulling the brush out of the storage container a film that almost completely fills the loops, and which one is released by touching the eyelashes when applying, so that a comparatively large amount of mascara liquid is dispensed can be.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, daß der eine Teil der Borsten als Schlaufen ausgebildet ist und ein anderer Teil in herkömmlicher Weise sich radial nach außen erstreckt. Durch diese sich nach außen erstreckenden Borsten, die durch Auswahl von Länge und Durchmesser in ihrer Steifigkeit eingestellt werden können, wird eine optimale Kämmwirkung erzielt, wohingegen die schlaufenartig konfigurierten Borsten für eine Optimierung der Transfereigenschaften sorgen.It is preferably provided that one part of the bristles as loops is formed and another part in the conventional manner radially extends outwards. Through these bristles that extend outwards, the rigidity set by selecting length and diameter optimal combing effect is achieved, whereas the loop-like configured bristles for an optimization of the Transfer properties ensure.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung dieser Ausführungsform kann vorgesehen sein, daß in Längsrichtung Abschnitte mit Schlaufen und Abschnitte mit radial wegstehenden Borsten vorgesehen sind. Es ist der Benutzerin dann möglich, beispielsweise zum Auftragen zunächst den Abschnitt mit den Schlaufen in Kontakt mit den Wimpern zu bringen, um dann anschließend mit dem Abschnitt mit den radial wegstehenden Borsten einen Kämmvorgang durchzuführen.In a further embodiment of this embodiment, it can be provided that that in the longitudinal direction sections with loops and sections with radial protruding bristles are provided. The user is then able to for example, first apply the section with the loops in contact with the eyelashes and then with combing the section with the radially protruding bristles perform.

Günstigerweise ist vorgesehen, daß die radiale Erstreckung der Schlaufen und die der radial wegstehenden Borsten unterschiedlich groß ist. Beispielsweise können die radial wegstehenden Borsten in ihrer Länge die Länge der Schlaufen übertreffen, so daß sie eine optimale Kämmwirkung entfalten. It is advantageously provided that the radial extension of the loops and the size of the radially projecting bristles is different. For example the radially protruding bristles in their length Exceed the length of the loops so that they have an optimal combing effect unfold.

Eine andere Ausgestaltung sieht vor, daß die Schlaufen, z. B. unter Ausbildung einer 8-Konfiguration, in sich verdrillt sind, wodurch praktisch die Schlaufenfläche einstellbar ist.Another embodiment provides that the loops, for. B. under training an 8 configuration, twisted in itself, which practically the Loop area is adjustable.

Weiterhin kann vorgesehen sein, daß die von den Schlaufen aufgespannte Ebene relativ zu der durch die verdrillten Drähte definierten Längsachse unterschiedlich geneigt ist.Furthermore, it can be provided that the spanned by the loops Plane relative to the longitudinal axis defined by the twisted wires is inclined differently.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Diese zeigt einen perspektivischen Ausschnitt aus einem erfindungsgemäßen Mascara-Bürstchen.The invention is described below on the basis of a preferred embodiment explained in connection with the drawing. This shows you perspective section of a mascara brush according to the invention.

Ein in der Zeichnung ausschnittsweise dargestelltes Mascara-Bürstchen umfaßt miteinander verdrillte Drahtabschnitte 1, 2, welche auf diese Weise eine Drahtseele 3 ausbilden.A mascara brush shown in detail in the drawing comprises twisted wire sections 1, 2, which in this way form a wire core 3.

Durch das Verdrillen der Drahtabschnitte 1, 2 werden Borsten 4 festgelegt, wobei ein Teil 4a der Borsten 4 sich in herkömmlicher Weise radial nach außen erstreckt und ein freies Ende aufweist, wohingegen ein anderer Teil 4b der Borsten Schlaufen 5 ausbildet.By twisting the wire sections 1, 2, bristles 4 are fixed, a part 4a of the bristles 4 radially in the conventional manner extends outside and has a free end, whereas another part 4b of the bristle forms loops 5.

Wie in der Zeichnung ganz links durch die schraffierte Fläche 6 angedeutet, wird beim Herausziehen eines derartigen Bürstchens aus einem Vorratsbehälter mit Mascara-Flüssigkeit aufgrund der Oberflächenspannung im Innenbereich einer Schlaufe 5 ein Film von Mascara-Flüssigkeit gehalten, so daß optimale Transfereigenschaften erzielt werden. Demgegenüber dienen die eine längere radiale Erstreckung aufweisenden linearen Borsten 4a dazu, die aufgetragene Mascara-Flüssigkeit zu vergleichmäßigen, d. h. eine Art Kämmwirkung auszuüben, wodurch auch eine Klumpenbildung vermieden wird. Besonders günstig wirken sich die Eigenschaften eines erfindungsgemäßen Mascara-Bürstchens aus, wenn die Viskosität der aufzutragenden Flüssigkeit zwischen 500 und 40.000 poises liegt.As indicated in the drawing on the far left by the hatched area 6, when pulling out such a brush from a storage container with mascara liquid due to the surface tension in the interior a loop 5 held a film of mascara liquid, so that optimal transfer properties are achieved. Serve against it the linear bristles 4a, which have a longer radial extension, to even out the applied mascara liquid, d. H. a Kind of combing effect, which also prevents clumping becomes. The properties of an inventive have a particularly favorable effect Mascara brush out when the viscosity of the to be applied Liquid is between 500 and 40,000 poises.
