Zum Gebrauch wird der Applikator-Aufsatz 1 auf einen in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten Vorratsbehälter aufgesetzt.Figures 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of an applicator attachment 1 with an applicator 2 for applying a cosmetic or medicinal substance, for example from mascara or hair colors on the eyebrows or from nail polish on the fingernails. To the The applicator attachment 1 is not used on one in the drawing shown storage container placed.

Der Applikator 2 umfasst zwei in bekannter Weise mit dem Applikator-Aufsatz 1 verbundene, als Faserbündel ausgeführte Applikatorspitzen 3 mit jeweils stadionförmigem Querschnitt. Hierzu sind die Applikatorspitzen 3 in Sacklöcher 3a eingeklebt oder eingestanzt, welche in einer über einen Grundkörper 3b des Applikator-Aufsatzes 1 überstehenden und im Querschnitt ovalen Applikator-Nase 3c des Applikator-Aufsatzes 1 ausgebildet sind. Die Applikatorspitzen 3 bestehen aus einer Vielzahl von Einzelfasem 4. Die Oberflächen der Applikatorspitzen 3 können mit einer Antihaftschicht, wie z. B. Teflon (PTFE), behandelt oder beschichtet sein. The applicator 2 comprises two in a known manner with the applicator attachment 1 connected applicator tips 3 designed as fiber bundles each stadium-shaped cross-section. For this purpose, the applicator tips 3 glued or punched into blind holes 3a, which in one over one Base body 3b of the applicator attachment 1 projecting and in cross section oval applicator nose 3c of the applicator attachment 1 is formed are. The applicator tips 3 consist of a large number of individual fibers 4. The surfaces of the applicator tips 3 can be covered with a non-stick layer, such as B. Teflon (PTFE), treated or coated.

Die Einzelfasern 4 stehen von der Applikator-Nase 3c längs einer Haupterstreckungsrichtung 4a ab, die in Figur 2 strichpunktiert wiedergegeben ist. In Bezug auf eine mit der Haupterstreckungsrichtung 4a zusammenfallende bzw. parallele Symmetrie- bzw. Mittelachse ist der Applikator 2 aufgrund seiner beiden Applikatorspitzen zweizählig symmetrisch.The individual fibers 4 project from the applicator nose 3c along a main direction of extension 4a, which are shown in dash-dot lines in FIG is. With respect to a coincident with the main direction of extent 4a or parallel symmetry or center axis is due to the applicator 2 its two applicator tips are symmetrical.

Die Figuren 1 und 3 zeigen, dass die Applikatorspitzen 3 dort, wo die Einzelfasern 4 aus der Applikator-Nase 3c austreten, voneinander beabstandet sind. In diesem Zwischenraum zwischen den beiden Applikatorspitzen 3 sind drei parallele Verbindungskanäle 5, 6, 7 in der Applikator-Nase 3c ausgebildet. In Bezug auf die Symmetrieachse 4a des Applikators 2 sind die äußeren Verbindungskanäle 5, 7 dezentral angeordnet. Die Verbindungskanäle 5, 6, 7 sind nebeneinander aufgereiht, wobei eine diese Reihung verbindende Linie parallel zur Längsachse der Querschnitts-Stadien der Applikatorspitzen 3 verläuft.Figures 1 and 3 show that the applicator tips 3 where the individual fibers 4 emerge from the applicator nose 3c, spaced apart are. In this space between the two applicator tips 3 are three parallel connection channels 5, 6, 7 in the applicator nose 3c educated. With respect to the axis of symmetry 4a of the applicator 2 the outer connecting channels 5, 7 arranged decentrally. The connection channels 5, 6, 7 are lined up next to each other, one being this order connecting line parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cross-sectional stages the applicator tips 3 runs.
