Abstract

The scraper comprises a first and second scraper (2) element so that when inserting the applicator and when removing applicator the second scraper cleans the applicator shaft. Two further scrapers can be provided. Independent claim describes container for cosmetics with scraper in container opening and use of scraper for cleaning brush (3).

Description

Bei einem Applikator handelt es sich um ein Hilfsmittel, mit dem eine kosmetische oder pharmazeutische Zubereitung auf die Haut und/oder die Haare aufgebracht wird. Ein Abstreifer ist ein Mittel, mit dem sich die auf einen Applikator befindliche Menge an kosmetischer oder pharmazeutischer Zubereitung einstellen lässt.An applicator is an aid to a cosmetic or cosmetic device pharmaceutical preparation is applied to the skin and / or the hair. One Scraper is a means by which the amount on an applicator is cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation.

Ein entsprechender Abstreifer ist für Applikatoren in verschiedenen Anwendungsbereichen einsetzbar. Im folgenden soll beispielhaft von der Applikation von Wimperntusche, der sogenannten Mascara, ausgegangen werden, jedoch ist der erfindungsgemäße Abstreifer auch in gleichartiger Weise für Applikatoren verwendbar, mit welchem Haarfärbemittel, Pharmazeutika o.ä. aufgetragen werden können.A suitable scraper is for applicators in various applications used. The following is an example of the application of Mascara, the so-called mascara, are assumed, however, is the scrapers according to the invention can also be used in a similar manner for applicators, with which hair dye, pharmaceuticals or similar can be applied.

Erfindungsgemäße Applikatoren weisen einen aussteifenden Kern aus einem ersten Kunststoff-Material auf, der zumindest im Bereich seines vorderen Endes von einer Trägerhülse aus einem zweiten Kunststoff-Material umgeben ist, die eine Vielzahl von radial nach außen auskragenden Fingern aufweist, die einstückig an die Trägerhülse angeformt sind und aus dem zweiten Kunststoff-Material bestehen, wobei mehrere über den Umfang der Trägerhülse verteilte Finger einen Fingerkranz bilden und wobei in Längsrichtung der Trägerhülse eine Vielzahl von Fingerkränzen hintereinander angeordnet sind. Applicators according to the invention have a stiffening core of a first Plastic material on, at least in the area of its front end of a Carrier sleeve is surrounded by a second plastic material containing a variety of Having radially outwardly projecting fingers integrally to the carrier sleeve are formed and made of the second plastic material, with several over the circumference of the carrier sleeve distributed fingers form a finger ring and where in Longitudinal direction of the carrier sleeve a plurality of finger rings in a row are arranged.

Ein Applikator für Mascara sollte sicherstellen, dass die Mascara in einfacher Weise gleichmäßig aufzutragen ist. Zu diesem Zweck muss der Applikator die Voraussetzung erfüllen, dass die Wimpern vor dem Auftragen der Mascara zunächst gekämmt und somit in gewünschter Weise ausgerichtet werden. Darüber hinaus soll der Applikator soviel Mascara aufnehmen können, dass sämtliche Wimpern mit dem Applikator gefärbt werden können, ohne diesen mehrfach in den Mascara-Vorratsbehälter eintauchen zu müssen. Damit der Auftrag der Mascara gleichmäßig und klecksfrei erfolgt, muss sichergestellt sein, dass nicht übermäßig viel Mascara an dem Applikator anhaftet, weshalb dieser üblicherweise beim Herausziehen aus dem Mascara-Vorratsbehälter abgestreift wird.An applicator for mascara should ensure that the mascara in a simple manner apply evenly. For this purpose, the applicator has the requirement Meet the eyelashes before applying the mascara and combed first thus be aligned in the desired manner. In addition, the applicator should so much mascara can absorb that all eyelashes with the applicator dyed can be, without this several times in the mascara reservoir to dive have to. In order for the application of the mascara evenly and bum-free, must ensure that not too much mascara adheres to the applicator, why this usually when pulling out of the mascara reservoir is stripped off.

Bisher war es üblich (US 4,982,838), einen Mascara-Applikator aus mehreren Drähten herzustellen, zwischen denen eine Vielzahl von kurzen Borsten angeordnet werden. Nach Verdrillen der Drähte sind die Borsten fest zwischen den Drähten gehalten.So far, it has been common (US 4,982,838), a mascara applicator of multiple wires between which a plurality of short bristles are arranged. After twisting the wires, the bristles are held firmly between the wires.

Allgemein gebräuchlich sind einstufige Abstreifer, das heißt Abstreifer, die nur ein abstreifendes Element enthalten und in die Öffnung des Produktbehältnisses eingesetzt sind. Durch Ineinandergreifen von Erhebungen und Aussparungen wird der Abstreifer fest im Flaschenhals gehalten. Die Anwendung dieser Abstreifer bei auf drahtgebundenen Bürsten basierenden Applikatoren funktioniert problemlos. Bei Applikatoren mit dem oben beschriebenen Aufbau, ist die einstufige Abstreifung mit verschiedenen Nachteilen behaftet:

  • der Schaft wird nur unzureichend gereinigt, da die lichte Weite des abstreifenden Elementes auf den Durchmesser des Bürstenkopfes abgestellt ist,
  • beim Herausziehen der Bürste gibt es ein Hängen an der Stelle an dem die Bürste und der Schaft zusammentreffen, damit ist die gleitende Entnahme von einem störendem Kraftaufwand begleitet, was zu unkontrollierten Bewegungen führen kann und zum bekleckern und verspritzen der Zubereitung führen kann
  • eine zu enge Dimensionierung führt zu vakuumdichten Verschluss und damit zu einem vulgären Geräusch bei der Entnahme (typisches Plopp-Geräusch) und
  • bei zu geringem Querschnitt ist eine Beschädigung der Applikatorborsten nicht ausgeschlossen.
Commonly used are single-stage scrapers, that is scrapers, which contain only one stripping element and are inserted into the opening of the product container. By interlocking elevations and recesses, the scraper is held firmly in the neck of the bottle. The application of these wipers to wire-brushed applicators works well. For applicators having the structure described above, one-step wiping has several disadvantages:
  • the shaft is insufficiently cleaned, since the clear width of the wiping element is placed on the diameter of the brush head,
  • when removing the brush, there is a hanging at the point where the brush and the shaft meet, so that the sliding removal is accompanied by a disturbing force, which can lead to uncontrolled movements and can lead to spilling and splashing the preparation
  • too narrow a dimensioning leads to a vacuum-tight closure and thus to a vulgar noise during the removal (typical pop-sound) and
  • if the cross-section is too small damage to the applicator bristles is not excluded.

Alle diese Probleme sind auf den speziellen Aufbau des Bürstenkopfes zurückzuführen, der im Gegensatz zum drahtgebundenen Bürstenkopf eine geringere Kompressibilität, d.h. größeren Durchmesser bei angelegten Borsten aufweist. All these problems are due to the special construction of the brush head, which, unlike the wired brush head, has lower compressibility, i.e. having larger diameter with applied bristles.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Abstreifer zu finden, der sowohl eine verbesserte Abstreifwirkung hat als auch eine gute und gleichmäßige Entnahme der Bürste gewährleistet.The invention has for its object to find a scraper, both a has improved wiping action as well as a good and even removal of the Brush guaranteed.

Überraschend hat sich gezeigt, das diese Aufgabe mit dem im folgenden beschriebenen zweistufigen Abstreifer gelöst wird.Surprisingly, it has been shown that this task is described in the following two-stage scraper is released.

Die Funktionsweise des Abstreifers wird im folgenden, in Zusammenhang mit den Abbildungen 1 bis 4 erläutert. Die Bewegungsrichtung des Applikators gegenüber des Abstreifers ist mit einem Pfeil kenntlich gemacht.The operation of the scraper is described below, in connection with the Figures 1 to 4 explained. The direction of movement of the applicator with respect to the Scraper is marked with an arrow.

Bei der Entnahme ― dem Herausziehen ― des Applikators (3) wird durch das vordere erste abstreifende Element (1) der Schaft grob gereinigt. Beim Hindurchgleiten durch das gegen die Zugrichtung gestellte (Abbildung 1) zweite abstreifende Element (2) erfolgt eine Feinsäuberung des Schaftes (4). Ist die Entnahme soweit erfolgt, das das zweite abstreifende Element sich im Bereich (6) der Fügestelle von Bürstenkopf und Schaft befindet (Abbildung 2), erfolgt die Umkehrung des zweiten abstreifenden Elementes und ein Durchtritt des Bürstenkopfes wird erleichtert. Beim Durchtritt des Bürstenkopfes durch das zweite abstreifende Element (Abbildung 3, Bereich 7), wir dieser vom vom Schaft abgestriffenen Substrat befreit (gereinigt), welches sich gleichmäßig über den Bürstenkopf verteilt.When removing - pulling out - the applicator (3) is inserted through the front first stripping element (1) of the shaft roughly cleaned. When passing through the takes place against the pulling direction (Figure 1) second stripping element (2) a fine cleansing of the stem (4). If the removal has taken place so far, the second stripping element located in the region (6) of the joint of the brush head and shaft is located (Figure 2), the inversion of the second stripping element and a passage of the brush head is facilitated. When passing through the brush head through the second wiping element (Figure 3, area 7), we get this from the Shank stripped substrate freed (cleaned), which is uniform over the Distributed brush head.

Beim Hereinschieben des Applikators in den Vorratsbehälter wird das zweite abstreifende Element in Schubrichtung gestellt (Abbildung 4, Bereich 8) und befindet sich damit in der für die Entnahme wichtigen Ausgangsstellung. Zuvor bei der Entnahme abgestriffenes Substrat wird dabei vom Bürstenkopf aufgenommen und das erste abstreifende Element damit gereinigt.When pushing the applicator in the reservoir, the second stripping element in thrust direction (Figure 4, area 8) and is located thus in the starting position important for the removal. Previous to the removal stripped substrate is absorbed by the brush head and the first stripping element cleaned with it.

Erfindungsgemäße abstreifende Elemente sind aus einem hinreichend flexiblen Material, welches den Ansprüchen der Dauerbiegebelastbarkeit standhält, insbesondere Polypropylen oder Elastomeren.Stripping elements according to the invention are made of a sufficiently flexible material, which withstands the requirements of the endurance load, in particular Polypropylene or elastomers.

Erfindungsgemäße Abstreifer können an der Außenfläche Einschnürungen und/oder Ausweitungen aufweisen, die eine stabile Verankerung im Produktbehältnis ermöglichen. Scrapers according to the invention can constrictions and / or on the outer surface Have expansions that allow a stable anchoring in the product container.

Erfindungsgemäß lassen sich durch die Wahl der lichten Weite des ersten und zweiten abstreifenden Elementes der Anpressdruck an den Applikator und damit die Abstreifleistung festlegen. Insbesondere eine unterschiedliche lichte Weite der abstreifenden Elemente ist vorteilhaft, wobei die Länge des zweiten abstreifenden Elementes dem Durchmesser an der Verbindungsstelle von Bürstenkopf und Schaft angepasst sein muss.According to the invention, the choice of the clear width of the first and second stripping element of the contact pressure to the applicator and thus the Set stripping performance. In particular, a different clear width of stripping elements is advantageous, the length of the second stripping Elementes the diameter at the junction of brush head and shaft must be adapted.

Übliche Innendurchmesser d1 (Abbildung 2) liegen im Bereich von 2,5 bis 10 mm, insbesondere zwischen 3,5 und 7 mm.Usual inner diameters d 1 (Figure 2) are in the range of 2.5 to 10 mm, in particular between 3.5 and 7 mm.

Übliche Dicken d2 (Abbildung 2) des zweiten abstreifenden Elementes liegen im Bereich von 0,1 bis 1 mm. Die Dimensionierung ist aber stark von der Flexibilität der eingesetzten Materialien abhängig.Typical thicknesses d 2 (Figure 2) of the second stripping element are in the range of 0.1 to 1 mm. However, dimensioning is heavily dependent on the flexibility of the materials used.

Übliche Längen I1 (Abbildung 2) betragen zwischen 0,2 bis 1 mm.Usual lengths I 1 (Figure 2) are between 0.2 to 1 mm.

Erfindungsgemäß lässt sich die Abstreifleistung des zweiten abstreifenden Elementes durch dessen Dicken-zu-Längenverhältnis (Verhältnis von d2 zu I1) auf verwendeten Applikator und Substrat einstellen.According to the invention, the wiping performance of the second wiping element can be adjusted by its thickness-to-length ratio (ratio of d 2 to I 1 ) to the applicator and substrate used.

Der erfinderische Abstreifer und seine Wirkungsweise soll im folgenden durch einige Abbildungen veranschaulicht werden, ohne sich durch die Wahl der abgebildeten Beispiele unnötig beschränken zu wollen. Es zeigen:

  • Abbildung 1: Herausziehen des Applikators aus dem Behälter
    Zweites (innerers) abstreifendes Element (2) ist in Richtung des Behälterbodens gestellt und reinigt den Applikatorschaft (4).
  • Abbildung 2: Wendepunkt ― diese Position wir beim Hereinschieben und Herausziehen des Applikators aus dem Vorratsgefäß durchlaufen. An der Fügestelle von Bürstenkopf (3) und Schaft (4) ist ein Umklappen des zweiten abstreifenden Elements möglich (Bereich 6).
  • Abbildung 3: Herausziehen des Applikators aus dem Behälter
    Innerer Abstreifer ist konträr zur Zugrichtung und streift den Schaft ab. Am Wendepunkt (Abbildung 2 Bereich 6 ) klappt das zweite abstreifende Element in Zugrichtung um und steht nun in Zugrichtung (Bereich 7).
  • Abbildung 4: Hereinschieben des Applikators in den Behälter
    Zweites (inneres) abstreifendes Element ist in Richtung des Behälterbodens gestellt und ermöglicht so ein einfaches einführen des Applikators (Bereich 8).
  • Abbildung 5:

Im Flaschenhals ist der Abstreifer (1) durch Verzahnung (Bereich 11) fixiert. Den Verschluss bildet eine Kombination aus einem Applikator mit einem Bürstenkopf (3) und einer Schraubkappe (12), die über den Schaft (4) verbunden sind.
    • The inventive scraper and its mode of action will be illustrated in the following by some illustrations without wishing to be unnecessarily limited by the choice of the examples shown. Show it:
  • Figure 1: Pulling the applicator out of the container
    Second (inner) stripping element (2) is placed in the direction of the container bottom and cleans the applicator shaft (4).
  • Figure 2: Turning point - this position is passed through the supply container as the applicator is pushed in and out. At the joint of the brush head (3) and shank (4) a folding over of the second stripping element is possible (area 6).
  • Figure 3: Pulling the applicator out of the container
    Inner scraper is contrary to the direction of pull and strips off the shaft. At the point of inflection (Figure 2 area 6), the second stripping element folds in the direction of pull and is now in the pulling direction (area 7).
  • Figure 4: Push the applicator into the container
    Second (inner) stripping element is placed in the direction of the container bottom and thus allows easy insertion of the applicator (area 8).
  • Figure 5:
    Example of a container for mascara, comprising a bottle body (9) whose opening forms a bottleneck (10). In the bottleneck of the scraper (1) by toothing (area 11) is fixed. The closure is a combination of an applicator with a brush head (3) and a screw cap (12), which are connected via the shaft (4).
