Definitions

  • the invention relates to a make-up device with a first area for storing a cosmetic product.
  • the invention relates to a make-up device that is used in conjunction with mascara or mascara.
  • the invention is not limited to this application.
  • Make-up devices of the above type are known. These are conventionally so-called immersion systems in which an applicator or an applicator is immersed in the first region in order to load the applicator with the cosmetic product. These conventional make-up tools need to be improved:
  • the cosmetic product By dipping the applicator in the cosmetic product, the cosmetic product can be contaminated, in particular germinated, making it unusable. So that the applicator ever dip into the first area can, a relatively large opening is required, which is associated with a comparatively large air attack surface with respect to the stored cosmetic product. There is a risk of drying out or aging of the stored cosmetic product.
  • the applicator leaves on tough cosmetic products after immersion a crater-like depression, which is associated with an increase in the surface of the air attack.
  • a user could be induced to "help" with water, for example, because she had the impression that the cosmetic product had dried out, which entailed considerable risks of contamination.
  • the US 5 636 931 A shows a makeup device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a controllable valve 14 serves as a supply channel for supplying cosmetic product from the first region in the second region.
  • the US 5,324,128 shows a makeup device with a piston acting as a piston b, in which a groove e is introduced as a shunt.
  • US Pat. No. 5,492,426 A shows a make-up device in which the delivery of the cosmetic product is based firstly on capillary forces and secondly on elastic restoring forces of a sponge-like substance used as an applicator.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the make-up device known from US Pat. No. 5,636,931 A with regard to the conveying device.
  • the loading of an application device does not take place within the storage area for the cosmetic product. This excludes any "feedback". In particular, there is no longer the problem of germination of the stored cosmetic product. Moreover, no access to the cosmetic store corresponding to the size of the applicator (first) is required. Be present area, whereby the risk of drying out or aging due to excessive air attack surfaces is no longer given. There is also no risk that a handle of an applicator is accidentally smeared with the cosmetic product. Finally, it is impossible that Brinatelreste reach the first area.
  • At least one supply channel for supplying cosmetic product from the first to the second region is provided.
  • the conveyor can be designed in principle arbitrary. However, according to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it is designed to lower the pressure in the second region from the pressure in the first region. In particular, when the above-mentioned supply channel is provided, cosmetic product is conveyed from the first area to the second area upon actuation of the conveyor.
  • the conveyor is coupled with an applicator for the cosmetic product.
  • the conveyor is actuated when the applicator is actuated, for example, when removing the applicator from a rest position.
  • the piston is further preferably in a handle of an applicator.
  • the operating state of the valve according to the invention may also be pressure-dependent.
  • valve opens when a threshold pressure is exceeded, closes when the pressure falls below the threshold pressure.
  • valve according to the invention is preferably bistable.
  • the make-up device has a separate from the first region receiving area for an applicator in a rest position.
  • the first area (storage area) surrounds the receiving area like a tube.
  • the second region preferably adjoins the receiving region in such a way that the application device passes through the second region (loading region) when it is removed from the receiving region.
  • the applicator is loaded during removal from the receiving area (automatically) with the cosmetic product.
  • a drag piston is used to seal the first region from the environment.
  • the drag piston on a closure mass is preferably, the drag piston on a closure mass.
  • the drag piston on a stop plate. This creates a dosing stop.
  • the invention not only separately creates a make-up device of the type described above and an applicator, but also a combination of the two elements mentioned together.
  • the makeup device shown in the drawing is designated by the reference numeral 10. It has a circular cylindrical contour.
  • a memory 12 serves to store a cosmetic product, for example mascara or mascara.
  • the memory 12 is closed in the drawing below with an annular stop plate 14.
  • On the opposite side of the stopper plate 14 is a sealing compound 16, which seals the memory 12 against the environment to prevent drying out.
  • the makeup device 10 also has a receiving space 18 for a mascara brush 20 shown only schematically in the drawing, which serves as an applicator.
  • the receiving space 18 is separated from the storage 12 by a wall 22 surrounding it.
  • any other applicator may be used instead of the mascara brush 20, such as Kunststoffpreßmaschine and metal coils.
  • the mascara brush 20 is held by a holder 24, which in turn is attached to a handle 26, for example by gluing. Between the holder 24 and an inner wall 28 of the make-up device 10 is a sealing ring 30th
  • the holder 24 has ventilation openings 32, 34, 36 and 38.
  • the handle 26 has a vent opening 40. The function of these vents will be explained below.
  • an O-ring 42 serves as a scraper.
  • the scraper can also be designed differently, for example in the form of a sealing lip.
  • a conical shoulder 44 on the holder 24 serves for centering.
  • the end portion 46 of the wall 22 located at the top in the drawing and an adjacent projection 48 serve as a scraper. Between the scrapers 46 and 48, an annular gap is formed, which serves as a feed channel 50.
  • the annular feed channel 50 surrounds a loading area 52.
  • one or more "windows" may be provided in a wall encircling the loading area.
  • vent opening 54 For venting the behind the serving as drag piston elements 14 and 16 space a vent opening 54 is provided.
  • the loading of the mascara brush in the loading space 52 is very uniform. In particular, it is level independent. For further comparison of the loading can be provided between the handle 26 and the makeup device 10, a screw thread. As a result, namely the above-mentioned “peeling" of the handle 26 is made uniform by the make-up device 10 in its course.
  • the mascara brush 20 After the make-up, ie after the use of the mascara brush 20 or in between when exhausted, the mascara brush 20 is reintroduced into the receiving space 18. In particular, it passes through the scraper 48, which possibly removes firmly dried mascara on the brush. Any Mascarareste on the inner wall 28 of the make-up device 10 are removed from the O-ring 42.
  • the stop plate 14 moves together with the closure mass 16 in the drawing upwards. Once the stopper plate 14 abuts the upper limit of the memory 18, the makeup device 10 is exhausted. This is obviously only the case when the mascara in the memory 12 is almost 100% consumed.
  • valve solution can be realized.
  • a valve which is resiliently biased in the closing direction and opens at a certain pressure within the receiving space.
  • the opening pressure is 0.02 bar or less.
