Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf einen Applikator für ein Kosmetikum, insbesondere für Mascara oder ein Haarfärbemittel, umfassend einen mit einem Stiel verbindbaren Grundkörper mit einer Mehrzahl von im Abstand voneinander parallel zueinander angeordneter Scheiben.The invention is directed to an applicator for a cosmetic, in particular for mascara or a hair colorant, comprising a main body which can be connected to a stem and has a plurality of disks arranged at a spacing from one another parallel to one another.

Ein derartiger Applikator ist beispielsweise bekannt aus US 3 892 248 , DE 31 14 748 A1 , DE 80 25 937 U1 , US 4,527,575 A , US 6,345,626 B1 und EP 0 038 524 A .Such an applicator is known, for example US 3,892,248 . DE 31 14 748 A1 . DE 80 25 937 U1 . US 4,527,575 A . US 6,345,626 B1 and EP 0 038 524 A ,

In der US 2002/0014251 A1 wird ein Applikator beispielsweise zum Auftragen von Mascara beschrieben, der scheibenförmige Besatzelemente umfasst. Diese Besatzelemente sind allerdings nicht parallel zueinander angeordnet. Benachbarte Besatzelemente sind jeweils gegeneinander verkippt. Der Verkippungswinkel bezüglich der Mittellängsachse kann im Bereich zwischen 45° und 90° variieren. Der aufgrund der Verkippung resultierende größte Abstand zwischen zwei benachbarten scheibenförmigen Besatzelementen kann im Bereich zwischen 1 mm und 5 mm liegen.In the US 2002/0014251 A1 For example, an applicator for applying mascara is described which comprises disc-shaped restoring elements. However, these trim elements are not arranged parallel to each other. Adjacent trimming elements are each tilted against each other. The tilt angle with respect to the central longitudinal axis can vary in the range between 45 ° and 90 °. The maximum distance between two adjacent disk-shaped trim elements resulting from the tilting can be in the range between 1 mm and 5 mm.

Im Gegensatz zu durch Verdrillen von Drähten zum Festlegen der Borsten hergestellten Mascara-Bürstchen eröffnen derartige durch Spritzgießen hergestellte Bürstchen einen viel weiteren Gestaltungsspielraum.In contrast to mascara brushes produced by twisting wires for fixing the bristles, such brushes produced by injection molding open a much wider scope for design.

Die Formgebung der vorstehend erwähnten, vorbekannten Applikatoren mit einer Mehrzahl von Scheiben war vornehmlich durch spritzgießtechnische und entformungstechnische Vorgaben bestimmt.The shaping of the abovementioned, previously known applicators with a plurality of disks was determined primarily by injection molding and demoulding specifications.

Neuere Spritzgießtechniken ermöglichen demgegenüber weitaus individuellere Formgebungen, weshalb hiervon ausgehend der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde liegt, unter Ausnutzung dieser Möglichkeiten die Auftrags- und Kämmeigenschaften zu verbessern.By contrast, newer injection molding techniques allow far more individualized shapes, which is why the object of the invention is to improve the application and combing properties by exploiting these possibilities.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem gattungsgemäßen Applikator erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass der Scheibenabstand im Scheitelbereich bei 0,2 bis 2,4 mm, insbesondere bei 0,2 bis 1,6 mm, und im Fußbereich bei 0,0 bis 1, 2mm, insbesondere bei 0,1 bis 0,7 mm liegt.This object is achieved in a generic applicator according to the invention that the disc spacing in the apex area at 0.2 to 2.4 mm, in particular at 0.2 to 1.6 mm, and in the foot area at 0.0 to 1, 2mm, in particular at 0.1 to 0.7 mm.

Vorzugsweise sind die Scheiben anwendungsspezifisch strukturiert. Dies ist so zu verstehen, dass die Scheiben keine in Umfangsrichtung gleichmäßige, streng scheibenförmige Geometrie aufweisen, sondern in sich und insbesondere in ihrem äußeren Randbereich strukturiert sind. Dem liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass der ganz überwiegende Teil des Auftrags- und Kämmverhaltens durch den Randbereich des Applikators vorgegeben wird. Dem Rechnung tragend wurden beispielsweise bei gedrehten Mascara-Bürstchen schon Borsten eingesetzt, deren Enden meiselförmig ausgebildet sind (vgl. DE 102 32 589 A1 ). Diese Entwicklung wird nun für durch Spritzgießen hergestellte Bürstchen konsequent fortgesetzt. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Dimensionierung wird bezogen auf eine übliche Besatzlänge von 25,4 mm eine größere Scheibendichte als herkömmlich und damit eine besonders gute Wimpernseparierung und ―kämmung erreicht.Preferably, the discs are structured application-specific. This is to be understood that the discs have no circumferentially uniform, strictly disc-shaped geometry, but are structured in itself and in particular in its outer edge region. This is based on the knowledge that the overwhelming majority of the application and combing behavior is dictated by the edge area of the applicator. Bear in mind, for example, in turned mascara brush already bristles were used, the ends of which are formed meis shaped (see. DE 102 32 589 A1 ). This development is now being consistently continued for injection molded brushes. Due to the dimensioning according to the invention, based on a usual stocking length of 25.4 mm, a larger pane density than conventional and thus a particularly good eyelash separation and insulation is achieved.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Grundkörper aus einem ersten, härteren Kunststoff und die Scheiben aus einem zweiten, weicheren Kunststoff bestehen, wodurch einerseits die Längsstabilität des Applikators gewährleistet ist und andererseits vorteilhafte Auftragseigenschaften erreicht werden.In a further embodiment of the invention can be provided that the body of a first, harder plastic and the discs of a second, softer plastic, whereby on the one hand the longitudinal stability of the applicator is ensured and on the other hand advantageous application properties can be achieved.

Weiterhin kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Scheiben von einer oder mehreren in Längsrichtung verlaufenden Nuten durchsetzt sind. Hierdurch werden zusätzliche Reservoirs für das zu applizierende Kosmetikum geschaffen und gleichzeitig wird aufgrund der hierdurch ausgebildeten radial verlaufenden Kanten die Kämm- und Separationswirkung erhöht.Furthermore, it can be provided that the discs are penetrated by one or more longitudinally extending grooves. As a result, additional reservoirs for the cosmetic to be applied are created and, at the same time, the combing and separating effect is increased on account of the radially extending edges formed thereby.

Die Nuten können auch von Scheibe zu Scheibe versetzt eingebracht sein.The grooves can also be introduced offset from disc to disc.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass die Scheiben im Querschnitt konisch ausgebildet sind, wobei an der Konusspitze eine konkave Nut vorgesehen sein kann.A preferred embodiment provides that the discs are conical in cross section, wherein a concave groove may be provided on the cone tip.

Alternativ können die Scheiben auch zueinander parallele Außenflächen aufweisen und im Peripheriebereich im Querschnitt halbkreisförmig abgerundet sein.Alternatively, the discs may also have mutually parallel outer surfaces and be rounded semicircular in the peripheral region in cross section.

Sofern vorstehend und im Nachfolgenden von Scheiben die Rede ist, könnten diese auch als Ringe bezeichnet werden, weil sie von einer Längsausnehmung durchsetzt werden können.If discs are mentioned above and in the following, they could also be referred to as rings because they can be penetrated by a longitudinal recess.

Die Scheiben können auch im Zweikomponenten-Spritzgießverfahren hergestellt sein, sodass sie aus einem weicheren Kunststoff bestehen, während ein Zentralkörper oder Grundkörper aus einem härteren Kunststoff besteht.The discs may also be made in a two-component injection molding process, so that they are made of a softer plastic, while a central body or body consists of a harder plastic.

Eine weitere Variante sieht vor, dass ausgehend von einem im Wesentlichen konischen Querschnitt im Bereich der Konusspitze eine wulstartige, umlaufende Verdickung ausgebildet ist.A further variant provides that, starting from a substantially conical cross section in the region of the cone tip, a bead-like circumferential thickening is formed.

Zur Erzielung eines ausgeprägten Curl-Effekts, d. h. zur Aufwölbung der Wimpern beim Kämmen, kann jede Scheibe eine Abstufung aufweisen, an der die Wimpern beim Kämmen zur Anlage kommen.To achieve a pronounced curl effect, d. H. for curling the eyelashes when combing, each disc may have a gradation, at which the eyelashes come into contact with the combing.

Die Scheibenkonfiguration kann in der Aufsicht vorzugsweise rund, rechteckig, mit Vorsprüngen versehen oder nach Art eines vierblättrigen Kleeblatts ausgebildet sein.The disk configuration may preferably be round, rectangular, provided with projections or formed in the manner of a four-leaf clover in the plan view.

Die Tiefe der Nuten zwischen den einzelnen Scheiben liegt günstigerweise bei 0,5 bis 3,0 mm, vorzugsweise bei ca. 2,25 mm.The depth of the grooves between the individual discs is favorably 0.5 to 3.0 mm, preferably about 2.25 mm.

Die Breite der Scheiben im Fußbereich liegt mit Vorteil bei 0,2 bis 1,2 mm.The width of the discs in the foot area is advantageously 0.2 to 1.2 mm.

Ein erfindungsgemäßer Applikator kann durch Ein- oder Zweikomponentenspritzen hergestellt werden, wobei insbesondere eine Kombination von TPE oder TPU für die Scheiben und PP, PE, POM, PBT, PA für den Grundkörper in Betracht kommt. Der Grundkörper kann auch durch ein Metallrohr gebildet sein.An applicator according to the invention can be produced by single- or two-component spraying, wherein in particular a combination of TPE or TPU for the disks and PP, PE, POM, PBT, PA for the main body comes into consideration. The main body can also be formed by a metal tube.

Ist der Applikator aus einem Kunststoff hergestellt, so ist vorzugsweise PE, PP, PA, PBT oder Polyester und Polyacryl bevorzugt.If the applicator is made of a plastic, preferably PE, PP, PA, PBT or polyester and polyacrylic are preferred.

The base body 2 is hollow inside and has a plurality of outlet openings 19. Accordingly, it is possible to inject a second, in particular softer component for forming the disks 5 through the longitudinal recess and the passage openings 19 in the two-component injection molding process. The base body 2 has projections 20 which prevent the bristle body from being able to be stripped off in the axial direction.

Ergänzend bzw. abweichend von den vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispielen kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Scheiben und deren Zentralbereich einstückig aus einem Material gespritzt sind, oder aber dass der Zentralbereich aus einem ersten Kunststoff besteht und im Zweikomponenten-Spritzgießverfahren die Scheiben an diesen, beispielsweise aus einem weicheren Kunststoff bestehend, angespritzt sind.In addition or deviating from the embodiments described above, it can be provided that the discs and their central region are integrally molded from a material, or that the central region consists of a first plastic and the two-component injection molding the discs on these, for example, a softer Plastic consisting, molded.

Die Scheiben können am Umfang wenigstens eine Ausnehmung aufweisen, wobei mehrere in axialer Richtung hintereinander liegende Ausnehmungen aufeinanderfolgender Scheiben eine Nut ausbilden können.The discs may have at least one recess on the circumference, wherein a plurality of consecutive successive recesses in the axial direction of a disc can form a groove.

Es kann weiterhin vorgesehen sein, dass im Bereich der Ausnehmung der Scheiben eine oder mehrere Borsten angeordnet sind. In Längsrichtung gesehen können auch abwechselnd Scheiben und Borstenkränze angeordnet sein.It may further be provided that in the region of the recess of the discs, one or more bristles are arranged. Seen in the longitudinal direction and alternately discs and bristle rings can be arranged.

Der Grundkörper kann zur Befestigung an einem Stiel wenigstens abschnittsweise im Querschnitt mehreckig sein, um auf diese Weise eine verdrehsichere Montage zu erzielen.The base body may be polygonal in cross-section for attachment to a handle at least in sections, in order to achieve a torsion-proof assembly in this way.
