  • the actuator points a rotary gear with threads of different pitches. Similar to the teaching of US-A-1,556,701 serves a thread with a first pitch for normal entry and exit Extending the pin mass, whereas a thread with a second pitch (in this In the case of a lower slope) serves to eject the pen mass and its carrier, for example for the purpose of switching.
  • No nozzle is provided through which the product to be applied is conveyed through.
  • Neither of the known pens sees two Actuators, both for reducing the volume of a memory for the product to be applied.
  • the first control device for the metered conveying of the product into the work area serves the application facility.
  • the first actuating device has the required degree of fineness, thus, for example, in the case of a make-up stick for eyelids, the first time it is pressed Actuator a portion of the required for the makeup of each eyelid product to be applied (eyeshadow) from the store through the nozzle into the Work area is promoted.
  • the second actuating device is also preferably used to move the product towards the nozzle.
  • Such a shift in the product to be applied can especially necessary for the initialization of a make-up stick. Because it can production-related occur that the product recorded in the memory immediately after completion of the pen does not reach the nozzle, but that rather, a dead space remains in which there is no product to be applied.
  • the second adjusting device can then preferably be used according to the invention serve to move the product to the extent that after the move the originally filled in the dead space.
  • the second actuating device would therefore have a different task than the first Setting device.
  • the second actuating device serves namely - according to the above Versions - in this preferred embodiment of the invention to overcome of the dead space, while the first adjusting device for dosing the actual Application serves.

  • a final mass also serves to seal between the piston 24 and the spindle 18. It can also be a Foil bags placed over the spindle 18 and welded to the piston 24.
  • the applicator according to Figure 1 has two actuators.
  • a first actuator is formed by the rotary gear, which has the spindle 18 and the piston 24. Namely, the shaft 16 with the spindle 18 attached thereto with respect to the cartridge 10 rotated, the piston 24 moves axially with respect to the thread engagement 22/20 of the memory 12, thereby reducing the volume of the memory 12. The result is, that the product 14 is conveyed towards the application device 26.
  • This first Actuator is used for fine dosing.
  • a second adjusting device is formed by the shaft 16, which with respect to the Cartridge 10 is not only rotatable, but also axially displaceable. If the Shaft 16 axially displaced with respect to the cartridge 10, so the spindle moves with it 18 and thus the piston 24, which also leads to a refinement of the volume of the Memory 12 leads. The product 14 is again directed in the direction of the application device 26 promoted.
  • the application device shown in FIG. 1 has the operating state according to Figure 1 a.

  • the second described above is used to overcome this dead space Setting device. Only the shaft 16 has to be axially displaced with respect to the cartridge 10 become, which has the consequence that because of an accompanying reduction of the volume of the storage 12, the product 14 into the interior 36 of the application device 26 is promoted and thus fills the previously existing dead space.
  • the shaft 16 has a locking lug 38 which, when moved with respect to the Cartridge 10 engages in a recess 40 beyond a predetermined amount.
  • This Operating state is shown in Figure 1 b.
  • the arrangement of the locking lug 38 and the recess 40 is such that in this operating state the interior 36 of the application device 26 is filled with product 14. Then the fine dosing can be done by pressing the above in the individual explained first actuating device, i.e. by turning the shaft 16 with respect to the cartridge 10, whereupon because of the associated downsizing of the volume of the reservoir 12 product 14 through the nozzles 30, 32 and 34 in the Work area 28 of the application device 26 is promoted (in portions). It is one Separation between inner and outer shaft provided.

  • the threaded element 44 has a smaller one Pitch. It is 0.6 mm. It is important that the thread segments 48, 50 and 52 each have a thread pitch that is a product of the thread pitch of the threaded element 44, each with an integer.
  • the slopes of the threaded elements 44 and 42 must be in the ratio 1: X to each other, where X is a whole Number is. This applies to the one-sided arrangement of two or more threaded elements. in the In the case of the arrangement on both sides, X is an odd integer, preferably 3. Otherwise if deadlock occurs.
  • transition region 46 The dimensions of the transition region 46 are such that its axial extent the axial distance between a beginning of the thread segment 50 and one End of the threaded segment 48 corresponds. In configurations with only one threaded element the transition area can be omitted.
  • FIG. 3 shows the interaction of the threaded segments 48, 50 and 52 with the Threaded elements 42 and 44 in different operating states.
  • the threaded segment 52 initially meshes with the threaded element 42, so that a thread with a comparatively large pitch is formed.
  • This Thread is used to adjust when overcoming the dead space mentioned above.
  • the thread pairing thus belongs to the second actuating device.
  • Thread segments 48, 50 and 52 gradually out of the threaded element 42 and get into the transition area 46, cf. Figure 3 b. From there, the first comes Thread segment 52 in the threaded element 44, cf. Figure 3 c.
