Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung richtet sich auf eine Kosmetik-Einheit, insbesondere eine Mascara-Einheit, umfassend einen Vorratsbehälter für Mascara-Flüssigkeit, eine auf den Vorratsbehälter aufsetzbare Verschlusskappe, einen sich von der Innenseite der Verschlusskappe durch eine Öffnung wegerstreckenden Applikator-Stiel mit einem Applikator und eine in die Öffnung des Vorratsbehälters eingesetzte Abstreifeinrichtung.The invention is directed to a cosmetic unit, in particular a Mascara unit comprising a reservoir for mascara fluid, an attachable to the reservoir cap, a from extending the inside of the cap through an opening Applicator handle with an applicator and one in the opening of the reservoir used scraper.
Derartige Abstreifeinrichtungen dienen dazu, beim Herausziehen des Applikators, insbesondere eines Mascara-Bürstchens, überschüssige Mascara-Flüssigkeit abzustreifen, sodass ein gleichmäßiger, tropfen- und klumpenfreier Auftrag der Mascara-Flüssigkeit auf die Augenwimpern gewährleistet ist.Such stripping devices are used when pulling out the applicator, especially a mascara brush, excess mascara fluid strip off, leaving a more uniform, drip-free and lump-free Order of mascara fluid on the eyelashes guaranteed is.
Eine andere Funktion der Abstreifeinrichtung besteht darin, bei Nichtbenutzung des Applikators, wenn also der Applikator mit dem Stiel in den Behälter eingeschoben ist, den Stiel dichtend zu umschließen, um ein Auslaufen der Mascara-Flüssigkeit zu verhindern. Dementsprechend muss der Durchmesser des Stiels an den Durchmesser der Abstreifeinrichtung angepasst sein, wobei der Durchmesser der Abstreifeinrichtung seinerseits wieder mit dem Durchmesser des Applikators abgestimmt sein muss.Another function of the stripping device is when not in use of the applicator, so if the applicator with the stem in the Container is inserted to seal the stem to prevent leakage to prevent the mascara fluid. Accordingly, the Diameter of the stem adapted to the diameter of the stripping be, with the diameter of the stripping device in turn again must be matched with the diameter of the applicator.
Hieraus resultieren konstruktive Beschränkungen bei der Ausgestaltung des Stiels. Dementsprechend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Kosmetik-Einheit, insbesondere eine Mascara-Einheit zu schaffen, welche größere konstruktive Freiheiten eröffnet und insbesondere auch hinsichtlich des Stiels eine rationellere, kostengünstigere Fertigung ermöglicht. This results in constructive restrictions in the design of the Stem. Accordingly, the invention has the object, a Cosmetic unit, in particular to create a mascara unit, which opens up greater constructive freedom and in particular with regard to allows a more rational, cost-effective production of the stem.
Aus US 4,810,122 B 1 ist eine axial längs des Stiels verlängert Abstreifeinrichtung bekannt, die sich bis etwa in die Mitte des Stiels erstreckt und mit einem entsprechenden Abstand zum Applikator endet.From US 4,810,122 B 1 is an axially along the stem extended stripping known, which extends to about the middle of the stem and with a corresponding distance to the applicator ends.
Die vorstehend genannte Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Abstreifeinrichtung sich von dem Rand der Öffnung soweit in das Innere des Behälters erstreckt, dass die Abstreif-Öffnung bzw. die Abstreiflippen der Abstreifeinrichtung sich bei eingesetztem Applikator bis in den Bereich des proximalen Randes des Applikators, das heißt also dessen inneren Endes, erstrecken, sodass im eingesetzten Zustand der Applikator-Stiel innerhalb der Abstreifeinrichtung und der Applikator sich außerhalb derselben befindet. Dementsprechend ist die Geometrie des Stiels abgesehen vom distalen Endbereich frei wählbar und es können insbesondere auch schnell und kostengünstig herstellbare relativ dünne Stiele eingesetzt werden. Die Stiele können dann auch eine gewisse Elastizität aufweisen, die den Auftragsvorgang begünstigen kann.The above object is achieved according to the invention, that the stripping device from the edge of the opening far enough into the Inner of the container that extends the wiper opening or the wiper lips the stripping device with inserted applicator into the Area of the proximal edge of the applicator, that is, its inner End, extend, so that in the inserted state of the applicator handle inside the wiper and the applicator outside is the same. Accordingly, the geometry of the stem is apart from the distal end region freely selectable and it can in particular also used quickly and inexpensively manufacturable relatively thin stems become. The stems can then also have a certain elasticity, which can favor the order process.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Abstreifeinrichtung eine solche Eigensteifigkeit aufweist, dass sie sich trotz ihrer distalen Erstreckung beim Herausziehen des Applikators im Wesentlichen starr verhält.In a further embodiment of the invention can be provided that the Abstreifeinrichtung such an inherent rigidity that they despite their distal extent when pulling out of the applicator substantially behaves rigidly.
Mit Vorteil besteht der Rand der Abstreiföffnung bzw. bestehen die Abstreiflippen der Abstreifvorrichtung aus einem weicheren Material als der Grundkörper.Advantageously, the edge of the stripping opening or consist of the wiper lips the scraper of a softer material than the Body.
Insoweit kann es sich als günstig erweisen, dass der Grundkörper der Abstreifeinrichtung aus einem härteren Kunststoff und der Rand der Abstreiföffnung bzw. die Abstreiflippen aus einem weicheren Kunststoff bestehen und durch Koextrusion hergestellt sind.In that regard, it may prove to be beneficial that the body of the stripping made of a harder plastic and the edge of the wiper opening or the wiper lips are made of a softer plastic and made by coextrusion.
Der Grundkörper der Abstreifeinrichtung weist vorzugsweise eine langgestreckte, kegelstumpfförmige Grundform auf.The main body of the stripping device preferably has an elongated, frustoconical basic shape.
Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Diese zeigt einen Längsschnitt durch eine erfindungsgemäße Mascara-Einheit.The invention will be described below with reference to a preferred embodiment explained in connection with the drawing. This one shows Longitudinal section through a mascara unit according to the invention.
Eine in der Zeichnung dargestellte Mascara-Einheit 1 umfasst einen Behälter
2 für die Mascara-Flüssigkeit mit einer Öffnung 3 an der Oberseite.A mascara unit 1 shown in the drawing comprises a
Im Bereich der Öffnung 3 weist der Behälter 2 einen Behälterhals 4 mit
reduziertem Außendurchmesser und mit einem Außengewinde 5 auf, auf
welches das Innengewinde 6 einer Schraubkappe 7 aufschraubbar ist.In the region of the
Im Inneren der Schraubkappe 7 ist über einen topfartigen Einsatz 8 ein Applikator-Stiel
9 festgelegt, an dessen distalem äußeren Ende ein Applikator
10 in Form eines Mascara-Bürstchens befestigt ist.Inside the
Eine Abstreifeinrichtung 11 weist einen länglichen, kegelstumpfförmigen
Grundkörper 12 auf, der an seiner Oberseite mit einem Ringkragen 13 auf
dem oberen Rand der Öffnung 3 aufliegt.A
Die distale Erstreckung des Grundkörpers 12 der Abstreifeinrichtung 11 in
den Behälter 2 hinein ist derart lang gewählt, dass der Rand 14 der Öffnung
15 der Abstreifeinrichtung 11 unmittelbar benachbart zum proximalen Ende
des Applikators 10 endet, das heißt der Applikator-Stiel 9 ist über seine
ganze Länge vom Grundkörper 12 des Applikators 10 umgeben. Der
Durchmesser der Öffnung 15 der Abstreifeinrichtung 11 ist an sich bekannter
Weise etwas kleiner als der Außendurchmesser des Applikators 10.The distal extent of the
Diese Ausgestaltung hat den Vorteil, dass der Durchmesser des Stiels 9
völlig unabhängig vom Behälter 2 gewählt werden kann, sodass beispielsweise
auch Stiele mit einem Durchmesser kleiner 4,3 mm eingesetzt werden
können, deren Herstellung spritztechnisch vorteilhaft ist, weil kürzere
Zykluszeiten erzielbar sind. Der Durchmesser des Stiels 9 muss lediglich
im Bereich der Öffnung 15 der Abstreifeinrichtung so gewählt sein, dass
die Öffnung 15 bei eingesetztem Stiel 9 abgedichtet ist.This embodiment has the advantage that the diameter of the
