Abstract

The applicator has a main body of a relatively hard material, such as metal or hard plastic. The main body is connected to a rod and having several circumferential grooves. The center axis of the grooves (8) extend parallel to each other and are perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (9) of the main body (4). The depth of the grooves is 0.4 mm to 2.1 mm, especially approximately 0.8 mm. The main body is cylindrical. The main body has a frusto-conically tapered end (3, 6).

Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf einen Applikator für Mascara, Haarfärbemittel oder ähnliche kosmetische Produkte umfassend einen mit einem Stiel verbindbaren Grundkörper aus einem relativ harten Material, wie Metall oder Hartkunststoff, mit einer Mehrzahl von umlaufenden Rillen.The invention is directed to an applicator for mascara, hair colorants or similar cosmetic products comprising a body connectable with a handle of a relatively hard material, such as metal or hard plastic, having a plurality of circumferential grooves.

Ein gattungsgemäßer Applikator ist bekannt aus CH 372 802 . Der vorbekannte Applikator weist einen metallischen Grundkörper auf, auf dessen Oberfläche relativ flache, schraubenförmige Rillen eingebracht sind.A generic applicator is known from CH 372 802 , The prior art applicator has a metallic base body on the surface of relatively flat, helical grooves are introduced.

Ein solcher Applikator hat sich als solcher gut bewährt, weist aber den Nachteil auf, dass die schraubenförmigen Rillen verhältnismäßig geringer Tiefe aufgrund der Schrägstellung, die durch die Schraubenkonfiguration bedingt ist, keine oder zumindest keine hinreichende Kämmwirkung auf die Wimpern ausüben und andererseits durch die geringe Tiefe eine Volumenerhöhung der Wimpern kaum möglich ist.Such an applicator has proven itself to be such, but has the disadvantage that the helical grooves relatively shallow depth due to the inclination, which is due to the screw configuration, no or at least no sufficient combing effect on the eyelashes and on the other hand by the shallow depth an increase in volume of the eyelashes is hardly possible.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Applikator der in Betracht stehenden Art so weiterzuentwickeln, dass unter Wahrung der grundsätzlichen Vorteile dieses Applikatortyps die Kämmeigenschaften und die Volumengebung beim Auftrag verbessert werden.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to further develop an applicator of the type in question such that, while maintaining the fundamental advantages of this type of applicator, the combing properties and the volume distribution during application are improved.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Rillen parallel zueinander und im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Längsachse des Grundkörpers verlaufen.This object is achieved in that the grooves parallel to each other and extend substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body.

Durch die zueinander parallele Anordnung der Rillen wird gegenüber einer schraubenförmigen Anordnung gemäß dem Stand der Technik eine deutlich verbesserte Kämmwirkung und ein gleichmäßiger Auftrag erreicht.The arrangement of the grooves parallel to one another achieves a significantly improved combing effect and a uniform application compared to a helical arrangement according to the prior art.

Insbesondere haben Untersuchungen gezeigt, dass für die Erzielung einer effektiven Kämmwirkung der Bereich des Wimpernansatzes am Augenlid von ganz besonderer Bedeutung ist, wobei sich ein Großteil der Kämmwirkung im äußersten Peripheriebereich des Applikators abspielt..Dabei hat sich gezeigt, dass die Wimpern in der Regel nicht sauber geordnet in einer einzigen Reihe nebeneinander am Augenlid austreten, sondern weitgehend ungeordnet in mehreren Reihen übereinander ausgebildet sind. Die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung trägt diesen anatomischen Gegebenheiten in optimaler Weise Rechnung. Dementsprechend lohnt es sich zur Erlangung dieser Vorteile einen herstellungstechnisch größeren Aufwand in Kauf zu nehmen, der mit der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung von Rillen parallel zueinander und senkrecht zur Längsachse im Gegensatz zu vorbekannten schraubenförmigen Rillen verbunden ist.In particular, studies have shown that in order to achieve an effective combing effect, the area of the lash line on the eyelid is of particular importance, with the majority of the combing effect taking place in the outermost periphery of the applicator. It has been shown that the eyelashes are generally not arranged cleanly in a single row side by side on the eyelid emerge, but largely unordered in several rows are formed one above the other. The embodiment of the invention takes into account these anatomical conditions in an optimal manner. Accordingly, it is worth to obtain these advantages a manufacturing technology greater effort to accept, which is connected to the inventive formation of grooves parallel to each other and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis in contrast to previously known helical grooves.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Grundkörper im Wesentlichen zylinderförmig ist, wobei er mit Vorteil wenigstens ein sich kegelstumpfförmig verjüngendes Ende aufweist, wodurch der Schminkvorgang in den Randbereichen erleichtert wird.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the main body is substantially cylindrical, wherein it advantageously has at least one frusto-conically tapered end, whereby the make-up process is facilitated in the edge regions.

Die Tiefe der Rillen liegt vorzugsweise zwischen 0,6 und 1,2 mm, insbesondere bei 0,8 mm. Durch solche im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik vergleichsweise tiefe Rillen werden verbesserte Transfereigenschaften für die Mascara-Flüssigkeit und eine erhöhte Kämmwirkung erreicht.The depth of the grooves is preferably between 0.6 and 1.2 mm, in particular 0.8 mm. By such compared to the prior art, relatively deep grooves improved transfer properties for the mascara liquid and increased combing effect can be achieved.

Günstigerweise ist der Boden der Rillen und/oder der Kamm zwischen zwei benachbarten Rillen abgerundet.Conveniently, the bottom of the grooves and / or the crest between two adjacent grooves is rounded.

Der Abstand zwischen zwei benachbarten Rillen kann 0,2 bis 1,0 mm, insbesondere 0,64 mm betragen.The distance between two adjacent grooves may be 0.2 to 1.0 mm, in particular 0.64 mm.

Über die Länge des Applikators können 5 bis 580 Rillen verteilt sein.Over the length of the applicator 5 to 580 grooves can be distributed.

Der Applikator besteht vorzugsweise aus einer Chrom-Nickel-Legierung.The applicator is preferably made of a chromium-nickel alloy.

Wenn die Kämme bzw. Rillen abgerundet ausgebildet sind, liegt der Krümmungsradius zwischen 0,05 und 0,3 mm.If the ridges are rounded, the radius of curvature is between 0.05 and 0.3 mm.

Der Grundkörper kann eine Längsbohrung aufweisen, die mit einem leichteren Material, z. B. einem Kunststoff, ausgefüllt sein kann, um auf diese Weise eine Gewichtsersparnis zu erreichen.The main body may have a longitudinal bore which is filled with a lighter material, for. As a plastic, can be filled in order to achieve a weight saving in this way.

Der Grundkörper kann ein Verbindungsabschnitt zur Verbindung mit einem Stil aufweisen, wobei der Verbindungsabschnitt im Querschnitt wenigstens abschnittsweise 5 eckig ist. Wenn dieser 5 eckige Abschnitt von einem Hülsenabschnitt des Stils übergriffen wird, und senkrecht zur Längsachse ein beheizter oder unbeheizter Prägestempel auftrifft, ist dementsprechend sichergestellt, dass dieser stets eine nahezu senkrechte Gegenfläche findet, sodass eine sichere Verbindung hergestellt werden kann.The main body may have a connecting portion for connection with a style, wherein the connecting portion in cross section at least in sections 5 is angular. If this 5 angular section is overlapped by a sleeve portion of the style, and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of a heated or unheated stamp dies, it is accordingly ensured that this always finds a nearly vertical counter surface, so that a secure connection can be made.
