Abstract

Storage and applicator unit including a cosmetics storage holder, an applicator attachment (1) mounted on the holder, applicator (2), and a connecting channel (9) for connecting the applicator to the holder.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrats- und Applikatoreinheit nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a storage and applicator unit according to the preamble of claim 1.

Im kosmetischen Bereich, auf welchen nachfolgend beispielhaft vor allem Bezug genommen wird, sind solche Einheiten für die Applikation von Mascara auf die Augenbrauen oder von Nagellack auf die Fingernägel bekannt. Nagellack-Einheiten umfassen in der Regel eine aus Glas hergestellte Flasche, auf welche eine Schraubkappe mit einem Pinsel oder einem sonstigen Faserbündel als Applikator aufschraubbar ist. Mascara-Einheiten weisen ebenfalls einen Vorratsbehälter für die Mascara-Flüssigkeit auf, wobei eine aufschraubbare Verschlusskappe einen Stiel mit einem Bürstchen trägt, welches durch eine Mehrzahl von Borsten gebildet wird, die zwischen verdrillten Drahtabschnitten gehalten sind. Daneben sind zahlreiche weitere Ausführungsformen von Behältern und Applikatoren bekannt, letztere zum Beispiel in Form von Schaumstoff-Formkörpern.In the field of cosmetics, to which reference is made by way of example above, such units are known for the application of mascara to the eyebrows or nail polish to the fingernails. Nail polish units usually comprise a bottle made of glass, onto which a screw cap with a brush or other fiber bundle can be screwed as an applicator. Mascara units also have a reservoir for the mascara fluid, with a screw-on cap carrying a stem with a brush formed by a plurality of bristles held between twisted wire sections. In addition, numerous other embodiments of containers and applicators are known, the latter for example in the form of foam moldings.

Hinsichtlich der Gleichmäßigkeit des Auftragsverhaltens derartiger Vorrats- und Applikatoreinheiten über die zur Verfügung stehende Auftragfläche des Applikators besteht noch Verbesserungsbedarf, insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund, dass der Markt einen steigenden Bedarf an kleineren Verpackungen und/oder Testverpackungen aufweist.There is still room for improvement with regard to the uniformity of the application behavior of such stock and applicator units over the available application area of the applicator, in particular against the background that the market has an increasing demand for smaller packagings and / or test packagings.

Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Vorrats- und Applikatoreinheit der eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzubilden, dass ein möglichst gleichmäßiger Auftrag eines Kosmetikums ermöglicht ist.It is therefore the object of the present invention to develop a supply and applicator unit of the type mentioned in such a way that the most uniform application of a cosmetic is possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine Vorrats- und Applikatoreinheit mit den Merkmalen nach Anspruch 1.This object is achieved by a storage and applicator unit with the features of claim 1.

Der mindestens eine dezentrale Verbindungskanal, der zusätzlich zu einem zentralen Verbindungskanal vorgesehen sein kann, ermöglicht eine Beladung auch dezentraler Bereiche des Applikators mit dem Kosmetikum, sodass insgesamt eine größere Auftragfläche des Applikators für einen gleichmäßigen Auftrag des Kosmetikums zur Verfügung steht. Die Anzahl, Gruppierung und Querschnittsgestaltung der Verbindungskanäle kann dabei entsprechend der Form des Applikators gestaltet sein.The at least one decentralized connecting channel, which may be provided in addition to a central connecting channel, allows a loading even of decentralized areas of the applicator with the cosmetic, so that overall a larger application area of the applicator for a uniform application of the cosmetic is available. The number, grouping and cross-sectional configuration of the connection channels can be designed according to the shape of the applicator.

Der mindestens eine Verbindungskanal ist dabei als Zuführleitung ausgebildet, welche seitlich des Applikators mündet, über den Applikator-Aufsatz übersteht und insbesondere im Bereich eines vorderen Endes des Applikators endet. Mit einem derartigen Verbindungskanal lässt sich ein der zu applizierenden Fläche zugewandter Bereich des Applikators mit dem Kosmetikum beladen. Hierdurch lässt sich im Zuge des Auftragens vom Applikator abgeführtes Kosmetikum verzögerungsfrei wieder ersetzen, sodass es zu keiner Auftragsunterbrechung kommt.The at least one connecting channel is designed as a supply line, which opens laterally of the applicator, projects beyond the applicator attachment and terminates in particular in the region of a front end of the applicator. With such a connecting channel, a region of the applicator facing the surface to be applied can be loaded with the cosmetic. As a result, in the course of the application of applicator dissipated cosmetic can be replaced without delay, so there is no order interruption.

Das Ende des mindestens einen Verbindungskanals kann dabei eine zum Applikator hin schräg zulaufende Auslassöffnung aufweisen. Hierdurch wird der mindestens eine Verbindungskanal so dicht wie möglich an den Applikator herangeführt, sodass dieser optimal mit Kosmetikum beladen werden kann.In this case, the end of the at least one connecting channel can have an outlet opening tapering towards the applicator. As a result, the at least one connecting channel is brought as close as possible to the applicator so that it can be optimally loaded with cosmetics.

Der mindestens eine Verbindungskanal kann weiterhin in das rohrförmige Innere eines Applikator-Aufsatzes mit einer insbesondere schräg verlaufend ausgebildeten Spitze münden, wobei ein vom Applikator-Aufsatz ausgehender, zunächst zentraler Verbindungskanal sich im späteren Verlauf in eine Mehrzahl von zumindest zum Teil dezentral angeordneter Verbindungskanäle teilen kann und in einer Mehrzahl dezentraler Auslassöffnungen münden kann. Die schräg verlaufende Spitze des Applikators begünstigt insbesondere Auftragstechniken, bei denen der Applikator entsprechend schräg auf die zu applizierende Fläche aufgesetzt wird. Die Mehrzahl dezentral angeordneter Verbindungskanäle begünstigt hierbei die Gleichmäßigkeit der Beladung des Applikators mit Kosmetikum.The at least one connecting channel can furthermore open into the tubular interior of an applicator attachment with a tip formed in particular obliquely, wherein a tip extending from the applicator attachment, initially central connection channel can divide later in a plurality of at least partially decentralized connection channels and can open in a plurality of decentralized outlet openings. The oblique tip of the applicator particularly favors application techniques in which the applicator is placed correspondingly obliquely on the surface to be applied. The plurality of decentralized connection channels in this case favors the uniformity of the loading of the applicator with cosmetic.

Weiterhin kann ein zentraler Verbindungskanal in einen Verteilerkanal mit einer Mehrzahl von Auslassöffnungen für einen bürstenförmigen Applikator münden. Der Verteilerkanal, der bei dieser Ausführungsform den dezentral angeordneten Verbindungskanal darstellt, ermöglicht eine gleichmäßige Beladung des bürstenförmigen Applikators mit Kosmetikum.Furthermore, a central connection channel can open into a distributor channel with a plurality of outlet openings for a brush-shaped applicator. The distribution channel, which in this embodiment represents the decentralized connection channel, allows a uniform loading of the brush-shaped applicator with cosmetic.

Die Auslassöffnungen können dabei weiterhin U-förmig vom Kern einer Applikator-Bürste umgeben werden. Eine derartige Ausgestaltung eignet sich insbesondere beim Einsatz der Vorrats- und Applikatoreinheit als Mascara-Einheit.The outlet openings can continue to be surrounded in a U-shape by the core of an applicator brush. Such a configuration is particularly suitable when using the supply and applicator as a mascara unit.

Der Applikator kann weiterhin eine Mehrzahl von Einzelfasern umfassen, bei denen zumindest die freien Enden vorzugsweise mit einer Antihaftschicht, wie z. B. Teflon (PTFE), behandelt oder beschichtet sind. Dies verhindert ein Verkleben des Applikators.The applicator may further comprise a plurality of individual fibers, wherein at least the free ends preferably with an anti-adhesive layer, such. As Teflon (PTFE), treated or coated. This prevents sticking of the applicator.

Figuren 1 bis 3 zeigen einen Applikator-Aufsatz 1 mit einem Applikator 2 zum Auftragen einer kosmetischen oder medizinischen Substanz, zum Beispiel von Mascara oder Haarfarben auf die Augenbrauen oder von Nagellack auf die Fingernägel. Zum Gebrauch wird der Applikator-Aufsatz 1 auf einen in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten Vorratsbehälter aufgesetzt.Figures 1 to 3 show an applicator attachment 1 with an applicator 2 for applying a cosmetic or medical substance, for example, mascara or hair colors on the eyebrows or nail polish on the fingernails. For use, the applicator attachment 1 is placed on a reservoir, not shown in the drawing.

Der Applikator 2 umfasst zwei in bekannter Weise mit dem Applikator-Aufsatz 1 verbundene, als Faserbündel ausgeführte Applikatorspitzen 3. 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 Einzelfasern 4. Die Oberflächen der Applikatorspitzen 3 können mit einer Antihaftschicht, wie z. B. Teflon (PTFE), behandelt oder beschichtet sein.The applicator 2 comprises two applicator tips 3 connected in a known manner to the applicator attachment 1 and designed as a fiber bundle. For this purpose, the applicator tips 3 are glued or punched in blind holes 3a which protrude in a cross section over a base body 3b of the applicator attachment 1 oval applicator nose 3c of the applicator attachment 1 are formed. The applicator tips 3 consist of a multiplicity of individual fibers 4. The surfaces of the applicator tips 3 can be provided with an anti-adhesive layer, such as, for example, an adhesive layer. As 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 protrude from the applicator nose 3c along a main extension direction 4a, which is reproduced by dash-dotted lines in FIG. With respect to a symmetrical or central axis coinciding with the main extension direction 4a, the applicator 2 is doubly symmetrical due to its two applicator tips.

Es ist ein Verbindungskanal 9 vorgesehen. Dieser mündet applikatorseitig in einem keilförmig abgeschrägten Kanalabschnitt 10 neben der Applikatorspitze 3 aus. Der Kanalabschnitt 10 ist derart abgeschrägt, dass er in dem Bereich, welcher der Applikatorspitze 3 direkt benachbart ist, die größte Längserstreckung hat. Er steht über die Applikator-Nase 3c derart über, dass der Verbindungskanal 9 ungefähr bei der halben Längserstreckung der Einzelfasern 4 der Applikatorspitze 3 endet. Während des Verlaufs in der Applikator-Nase 3c und im Grundkörper 3b ist der Verbindungskanal 9 S-förmig geschwungen und mündet zentral im Grundkörper 3b zwischen den beiden Schneidkanten 8 aus. Der Verbindungskanal 9 hat im Kanalabschnitt 10 einen D-förmigen Querschnitt, wie in Figur 1 gezeigt.It is a connection channel 9 is provided. This empties on the applicator side in a wedge-shaped beveled channel section 10 adjacent to the applicator tip 3. The channel portion 10 is chamfered so as to have the greatest longitudinal extension in the region directly adjacent to the applicator tip 3. It protrudes beyond the applicator nose 3c such that the connecting channel 9 ends approximately at half the longitudinal extent of the individual fibers 4 of the applicator tip 3. During the course in the applicator nose 3c and in the main body 3b, the connecting channel 9 is S-shaped and empties centrally in the main body 3b between the two cutting edges 8. The connecting channel 9 has a D-shaped cross section in the channel section 10, as shown in FIG.

Bei der Benutzung wird das Medium über den Verbindungskanal 9 zunächst an den freien Endbereich der Einzelfasern 4 abgegeben. Hierdurch wird eine gleichmäßige Verteilung des Mediums an die Spitzen der Einzelfasern 4 möglich.In use, the medium is initially discharged via the connecting channel 9 to the free end region of the individual fibers 4. As a result, a uniform distribution of the medium to the tips of the individual fibers 4 is possible.

Statt aus Einzelfasern kann die Applikatorspitze 3 auch aus den Materialien bestehen, die oben unter Bezugnahme auf das zweite Ausführungsbeispiel beschrieben wurden.Instead of single fibers, the applicator tip 3 can also consist of the materials described above with reference to the second embodiment.
