Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for applying a cosmetic product, comprising a holder and an applicator element.
  • This is an applicator device which is loaded by immersing the applicator element in a reservoir of the cosmetic product, the applicator element being rotatably supported by the holder.
  • Deerfoot applicators are known for application to larger areas.
  • their application zone is comparatively small, which is why they have to be reloaded several times by renewed immersion until the desired application result is obtained.
  • the job feeling is rather uncomfortable, because the application element only scratched more or less on the surface.
  • a device for applying make-up in which a roller is rotatably mounted on a holder.
  • the roller serves as an applicator element and is immersed for loading in a supply source. For even distribution of make-up on the applicator element, it can be unrolled against a non-absorbent surface before being applied to the skin.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the application device of the type mentioned.
  • the object is achieved by a device according to claim 1.
  • the said axis may be transverse or parallel to a longitudinal axis of the holder.
  • the dimensions of the applicator element in the direction of its axis of rotation are smaller or larger than in the direction transverse to the axis of rotation.
  • the application element may in particular have the shape of a wheel. With such a wheel, it is particularly easy to apply lines of predetermined width.
  • it may be in the form of a roller, especially if it is to be used to apply to larger areas.
  • the applicator element is made of a material which is designed to store cosmetic product. In this way, that order quantity can be increased again, which can be applied without "reloading".
  • the application element is at least partially porous and / or its surface is tuned to the cosmetic product in the sense of spreading.
  • the applicator element according to the invention may comprise plastic, such as polyethylene, polypropylene and polyamide, metal, ceramic and / or foam. If the applicator is to serve for the application of linear contours, one will rather choose harder materials, whereas under certain circumstances also softer materials can be used for the surface application.
  • the application element according to the invention preferably has a sintered material.
  • the applicator element may be flocked, coated, laminated and / or structured on its surface.
  • a structured surface can serve to apply the cosmetic product in the form of patterns.
  • the applicator element does not have to be directly attached to the holder. Rather, a carrier may also be provided for carrying the application element. In such a Trap will then be rotatably mounted on the holder, the carrier. This results in particular the advantage that, as a result of sintering comparatively rough surfaces during rotation of the applicator element with respect to the holder produce undesirable frictional forces, which could lead to a disproportionately high wear.
  • the carrier is preferably rotatably mounted on the holder and more preferably has an inner sleeve.
  • the applicator element is sleeve-shaped and the carrier is pressed into the applicator element. In this way, an overall very simple construction results.
  • the application device further comprises a mandrel on the applicator element, the carrier and / or the holder, to which the holder, the carrier and / or the applicator element is snapped.
  • the mandrel may serve as a part of a hinge, wherein thereby provided game for reducing friction during rotation is used.
  • the application device according to the invention is part of a so-called dipping system, that is to say that the loading of the application element takes place by immersion in a corresponding reservoir which serves as main storage.
  • a buffer for the cosmetic product is also provided.
  • the buffer can be designed to remove excess cosmetic product from the application element and / or distribute cosmetic product on the application element. Both serve to equalize the cosmetic product order.
  • the capacity of the applicator can be increased again, that is to say that reloading is even less frequent.
  • the buffer may preferably be designed to absorb cosmetic product.
  • he may have a capillary storage according to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • the intermediate store is preferably integrated into the holder according to the invention.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the holder is adjustable relative to such a grip region. In this way, all eventualities at all stages of the order of the cosmetic product can be taken into account.
  • the holder is preferably connected to the grip area via a deformable device.
  • the deformable device can be elastically deformable.
  • the applicator device according to the invention always automatically returns to a state in which the holder and thus the applicator element or its axis of rotation have a predetermined position with respect to the grip area.
  • the deformable device according to the invention preferably has TPE.
  • cosmetic products of any consistency can be applied.
  • the cosmetic products may in particular be liquid, pasty or powdery.
  • a handle 10 which can be screwed onto a bottle 12, by means of a thread 14.
  • a holder 16 is inserted. Is the handle 10 as shown in the Figures 1 and 2 screwed onto the bottle 12, the holder 16 projects into an interior 18 of the bottle 12 into it.
  • a scraper 20 In the upper portion of the bottle 12 is a scraper 20.
  • the interior 18 of the bottle 12 is corresponding to the Figures 1 and 2 half filled with a cosmetic product 22, which is loaded when immersed mounted on the holder 16 cog 24.
  • the wheel 24 is held on the holder 16 by means of a hub 28. It is made of sintered PE in the embodiment shown. Therefore, when immersed in the cosmetic product 22, it will absorb a certain amount.
  • the dimensions of the scraper 20 on the one hand and the wheel 24 on the other hand are such that the wheel 24 can pass the scraper without problems.
  • the radial extent of a lip 30 of the scraper 20 corresponds approximately to the radial projection of the wheel 24 on the outer contour of the holder 16.
  • the function of the scraper can optionally be supported by bristles which are molded, overmoulded or applied by flocking. Preferably, this can be done by two- or multi-component injection molding.
  • a buffer 32 made of an absorbent material such as foam. This temporary storage serves, on the one hand, to reduce the excess of cosmetic product from the wheel 24, and on the other hand to even out the distribution of the cosmetic product on the wheel 24.
  • the buffer 32 will (temporarily) pick up excess cosmetic product because of its minimal distance from the wheel 24, and elsewhere, i. after a further rolling of the wheel to a certain angle of rotation, the recorded cosmetic product at least partially return to the wheel.
  • the wheel is reloaded in use again and again, without it being necessary to immerse the wheel again in the bottle 12.
  • the spaces between the wheel 24 and the holder 16, the wheel 24 and the buffer 32 and / or the buffer 32 and the holder 16 may be dimensioned such that they develop capillary forces with respect to the cosmetic product and thus as an additional or alternative ( r) temporary storage.
  • the embodiment of the invention shown there is characterized in particular by the fact that the hub 28 and thus the axis of rotation of the wheel 24 are transverse to a longitudinal axis 34 of the applicator.
  • the holder 116 is not attached directly but rather via a hinge 136 on the handle 110.
  • the joint 136 is formed by a flexible region that allows pivoting in all directions.
  • the hinge 136 is in the in FIG. 3 illustrated embodiment realized by multi-component injection molding with TPE.
  • the holder 116 has at its free end a mandrel 138, on which a serving as a holder inner sleeve 128 is clipped.
  • the inner sleeve 128 is thereby rotatable relative to the holder 116 about the axis 134.
  • the inner sleeve 128 carries an applicator roller 124, which carries a flocking 142 on its outside.
  • the radial extent of a ring lip 130 of the stripper 120 is dimensioned substantially smaller because the roller 124 and the flock 142 does not project beyond the outer contour of the holder 116 or the joint 136.
  • a cache is in the embodiment after FIG. 3 not provided. Rather, the storage capacity of the flocking 142 is sufficient to make frequent reloading by immersion in the bottle 112 superfluous. Moreover, the amount of mass (medium) remaining after stripping is determined by the ratio of the diameter of holder and roller.
  • the holder 16, 116 of the embodiments shown in the drawing is round in cross section. But it can also be designed differently, for example, oval and with a large semi-axis, which corresponds to the diameter of the applicator element 24, 124.
