Definitions

  • the invention relates to an applicator for liquid or pasty media, in particular for decorative cosmetics such as mascara or hair dye, with a rod-shaped, stiffening core, which is occupied at least in the region of its front end with bristles, wherein the stiffening core at least partially from a carrier sleeve of a elastomeric plastic is surrounded, wherein the support sleeve has a plurality of radially outwardly projecting fingers, which are integrally formed on the support sleeve and also made of the elastomeric plastic, wherein the bristles in the longitudinal direction of the support sleeve form a brush, wherein a plurality of the circumference Carrier sleeve distributed fingers form a finger wreath and wherein in the longitudinal direction of the support sleeve a plurality N of finger wreaths with the same number of fingers n are arranged one behind the other.
  • a corresponding applicator can be used in various fields of application.
  • the following is an example of the application of mascara, the so-called mascara, be assumed, however, the applicator of the invention is to be used in a similar manner, inter alia, for the dyeing of hair strands or for the application of pharmaceuticals.
  • An applicator for mascara should ensure that the mascara is easy to apply evenly.
  • the applicator must meet the condition that the eyelashes are first combed before applying the mascara and thus aligned in the desired manner.
  • the applicator should be able to absorb so much mascara that all eyelashes can be wetted with the applicator without having to immerse it several times in the mascara reservoir.
  • it In order to apply the mascara evenly and bum-free, it must be ensured that not too much mascara adheres to the applicator, which is why this usually when pulling out of the mascara reservoir is stripped off.
  • the applicator Since the applicator is designed as a cantilevered component with an end-side handle, it must have sufficient stability in order to be able to safely absorb the forces acting on use without the risk of a break-off. On the other hand, the applicator must, however, be so flexible that it can be adapted to the curvature of the eyelids and sufficient yield in case of incorrect use, in order to avoid injury to the user in the eye area.
  • Applicators are known for liquid or pasty media, in particular for decorative cosmetics such as mascara, which have a rod-shaped, stiffening core of a first plastic material which is surrounded at least in the region of its front end by a support sleeve made of a second plastic material, wherein the carrier sleeve has a plurality of radially outwardly projecting fingers, which are integrally formed on the carrier sleeve and also made of the second plastic material.
  • Several distributed over the circumference of the support sleeve fingers form a finger ring and in the longitudinal direction of the support sleeve a plurality of finger wreaths with the same number of fingers are arranged one behind the other, and form a rotationally symmetrical brush.
  • a major disadvantage of such an applicator brush is that due to the uniform arrangement of the bristles, the applied amount of mascara is always the same.
  • a Variation of Mascaramenge is not sufficiently possible. In particular, since it is considered desirable by consumers, depending on the prevailing at the time of order emotional states, apply at times a lot of mascara or very little mascara.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an applicator that is optimally adapted to the specific requirements and the subjective needs of consumers and both a variation in the order quantity, an improved combing effect and a good and uniform application of the ensured to be applied medium.
  • Such an inventive applicator according to claim 1 has a stiffening, rod-shaped core which is occupied at least in the region of its front end with outwardly projecting bristles which form at least one row of bristles in the longitudinal direction of the support sleeve.
  • an elastomeric plastic jacket in the form of a carrier sleeve is sprayed with radially outwardly projecting, integrally molded fingers, wherein the fingers have a cross-section tapering towards their free end.
  • the stiffening core of twisted wire sections is to form the stiffening core of twisted wire sections, at the one end of a plurality of bristles conventionally incorporated or clamped or to fix the bristles by extrusion coating in a rod-shaped core of injectable plastic.
  • stiffening core has projections or recesses which lead to a toothing with the elastomeric plastic jacket.
  • the stiffening core and the elastomeric plastic jacket using excipients, in particular by using primers, primers, adhesives, resins and solvents.
  • a brush section of solid bristles By combining a brush section of solid bristles and a brush section of elastomeric plastic, it is possible to comb the hair or eyelashes before and after wetting with a substrate and to apply much or little mascara depending on which brush sections are used for application.
  • the brush part which is made of solid bristles, is used to apply larger amounts of mascara and the elastomeric brush area is used to wipe off excess mascara or apply small amounts of mascara.
  • the number of bristles forming the conventional brush is selected according to the invention between 300 and 700, wherein the bristles may have different diameters or flexibility.
  • the invention is also to arrange the bristles in a multifilament group. It is advantageous that the groups of bristles have a non-circular cross-section. In particular, the tuft may have a cross section in the form of a crescent, an oval or cross-shaped cross section. It is especially advantageous if the individual multifilament bristle group has a cross-sectional area which is not homogeneously occupied by bristles. In illustration 1 some advantageous cross-sections of multifilament bristle groups are shown schematically. The encapsulation of preformed bristle tufts allows almost any geometry to be created. It is also at the Umspritzungsmethode possible to arrange the bristles or bristle tufts in different directions to each other. Also, the symmetrical or asymmetrical arrangement of two or more multifilament bristle groups is possible according to the invention.
  • the conventional brush can be equipped with bristles of all conceivable materials.
  • plastic bristles e.g. Nylon, polyethylene, polypropylene or polyamide.
  • the individual bristles have a non-circular cross-section.
  • the bristles may have cross-sections whose shape is selected from the group of circular, annular, polygonal, cruciform, rectangular, multi-lobed, U, C or V-shaped shapes, or at least one capillary groove. Structured or rough bristle surfaces can achieve high substrate absorption rates of the brush.
  • the free end of the bristles may also be formed in a tapered or thickened form, which has been achieved, for example, by grinding, carding and / or flaming.
  • the bristles of the brush according to the invention may have different colors, in particular bristles of different material may also have different colors.
  • the number of bristles per multifilament group is limited by the cross-sections of the bristles.
  • Brushes according to the invention have a number of bristles of 5 to 100 bristles per mm 2 of the area covered by the multifilament group.
  • the arrangement of the brush areas can be such that only a conventional brush area or two opposite conventional brush areas arise. If two conventional brush areas are present, they are separated from one another by the brush areas of rubber-elastic material.
  • the conventional brush can z. B. by trimming, grinding and / or heat treatment in the form, z. B. to adapt them to the shape of the application site, in particular the adaptation of the brush contour to the contour of the eyelid is advantageous.
  • the bristles of the conventional brush portion may be arranged to form bristle groups. These bristle groups can be at an angle to each other and / or intersect.
  • All finger rings of the rubber brush should have the same number of fingers, which are preferably equally distributed over the circumference of the carrier sleeve, d. H. have the same mutual angular distance.
  • the number n of fingers per finger wreath lies in the applicator according to the invention between 5 and 13, wherein in particular an odd number n of the fingers (5, 7, 9, 11 or 13 fingers) should be provided.
  • the arrangement density of the fingers in the longitudinal direction of the carrier sleeve and thus of the applicator is determined by the number N of axially successive finger rings.
  • the distance between adjacent finger wreaths should be within a predetermined range and also should not be provided too many finger wreaths so as not to complicate the handling of the applicator and to achieve even with relatively small eyelashes still a good mascara order. According to the invention, it is therefore provided that the applicator has between 14 and 32 finger rings and in particular between 18 and 26 finger rings.
  • the fingers of all finger rings can be designed with the same dimensions. However, it has proven to be advantageous to form finger rings with fingers of reduced dimensions both at the front and at the rear end of the applicator. Although these finger rings of smaller fingers are counted in the number N of finger rings, the following remarks refer to the fingers of a midrange normal finger ring. It is provided that the length I of the fingers, ie the extent to which the finger protrudes in the radial direction from the carrier sleeve, is in the range of 1.5 mm to 3.0 mm.
  • the mutual distance s 1 adjacent finger wreaths is a measure that significantly affects the combing effect and the mascara application.
  • the distance s 1 measured between the free ends of similar fingers of adjacent finger rings should, according to the invention, be in the range of 0.6 mm to 1.5 mm.
  • the fingers of adjacent finger rings should have a clear distance s 2 of the order of 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm.
  • the applicator has a substantially circular cylindrical configuration, i. an envelope surface of the applicator has a circular cross-section, which is either constant over the entire length of the finger field or is reduced only in its end regions in the aforementioned manner.

  • the stiffening, rod-shaped core preferably has a circular cross-section whose diameter is in the range of 1.5 mm to 2.5 mm and in particular 1.9 mm to 2.1 mm.
  • the core may have a constant cross-section over its entire length, but it is preferably provided that the core tapers at its front end.
  • the rod-shaped core may be straight, but alternatively it is also possible to make the core curved, in which case a "banana shape", i. a continuous equidirectional curvature is preferred.
  • the wall thickness a of the carrier sleeve essentially determines the elastic storage of the fingers and thus their deformability.
  • the radial wall thickness a of the carrier sleeve should be in the range of 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm and in particular 0.5 mm to 0.7 mm. If the core tapers at its front end, the wall thickness a of the carrier sleeve in this area is correspondingly increased, so that the outer contour of the carrier sleeve is substantially circular cylindrical.
  • the total axial length L of the carrier sleeve should be in the range of 20.0 mm to 35.0 mm and in particular 24.0 mm to 26.0 mm.

  • the front region of the applicator may be provided to form the front region of the applicator with increased flexibility. This can be achieved in that the carrier sleeve with its front end portion by the dimension v protrudes beyond the front end of the core, so that the front end portion of the applicator is formed entirely of the elastomeric plastic material.
  • the dimension v may be in the range of 1.0 mm to 8.0 mm and is preferably 2.5 mm to 4.5 mm.
  • the fingers of each finger ring lie with their central axes in a common plane extending perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the applicator, so that no offset of individual fingers in the longitudinal direction of the carrier sleeve or of the applicator is provided.
  • at least one finger of a finger wreath it is also possible for at least one finger of a finger wreath to be offset from the other fingers of the finger wreath by the amount v F in the longitudinal direction of the carrier sleeve.
  • every second finger of the finger ring is arranged offset, so that the fingers of a finger ring in two parallel, spaced in the longitudinal direction of the support sleeve, are perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the support sleeve extending planes.
  • each finger is conical and has a foot diameter d F in the range of 0.4 mm to 1.0 mm and in particular from 0.65 mm to 0.70 mm.
  • the fingers are preferably rounded at their free end, wherein a radius R of the rounding is in the range of 0.02 mm and 0.2 mm and in particular 0.04 mm to 0.08 mm.
