Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kombination aus einem Abstreifer für den Öffnungsbereich eines Behälters, der in seinem in die Innenseite des Behälters ragenden Konusabschnitt eine endseitige Durchlassöffnung aufweist und einem speziell ausgebildeten Applikator für flüssige oder pastöse Medien (Substrate), insbesondere für dekorative Kosmetika wie Mascara.The invention relates to a combination of a scraper for the opening region of a container having in its projecting into the inside of the container cone section an end-side passage opening and a specially designed applicator for liquid or pasty media (substrates), in particular for decorative cosmetics such as mascara.
Bei einem Applikator handelt es sich um ein Hilfsmittel, mit dem eine kosmetische oder pharmazeutische Zubereitung auf die Haut und/oder die Haare aufgebracht wird. Ein Abstreifer ist ein Mittel, mit dem sich die auf einen Applikator befindliche Menge an kosmetischer oder pharmazeutischer Zubereitung einstellen lässt.An applicator is an aid used to apply a cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation to the skin and / or hair. A wiper is a means of adjusting the amount of cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation on an applicator.
Ein Applikator für Mascara sollte sicherstellen, dass die Mascara in einfacher Weise gleichmäßig aufzutragen ist. Zu diesem Zweck muss der Applikator die Voraussetzung erfüllen, dass die Wimpern beim Auftragen der Mascara gekämmt und somit in gewünschter Weise ausgerichtet werden. Darüber hinaus soll der Applikator soviel Mascara aufnehmen können, dass sämtliche Wimpern mit dem Applikator gefärbt werden können, ohne diesen mehrfach in den Mascara-Vorratsbehälter eintauchen zu müssen. Damit der Auftrag der Mascara gleichmäßig und klecksfrei erfolgt, muss sichergestellt sein, dass nicht übermäßig viel Mascara an dem Applikator anhaftet, weshalb dieser üblicherweise beim Herausziehen aus dem Mascara-Vorratsbehälter abgestreift wird.An applicator for mascara should ensure that the mascara is easy to apply evenly. For this purpose, the applicator must meet the condition that the eyelashes are combed when applying the mascara and thus aligned in the desired manner. In addition, the applicator should be able to absorb so much mascara that all eyelashes can be dyed with the applicator, without having to immerse it several times in the mascara reservoir. In order for the application of the mascara evenly and bum-free, it must be ensured that not excessively mascara adheres to the applicator, which is why this usually stripped when pulling out of the mascara reservoir.
Bisher war es üblich (
Aus
Allgemein gebräuchlich sind einstufige Abstreifer, das heißt Abstreifer, die nur ein abstreifendes Element enthalten, welches als zentrale Öffnung ausgebildet ist und die in die Öffnung des Produktbehältnisses eingesetzt sind. Durch Ineinandergreifen von Erhebungen und Aussparungen wird der Abstreifer fest im Flaschenhals gehalten. Die Anwendung dieser Abstreifer funktioniert problemlos, bei auf drahtgebundenen Bürsten basierenden Applikatoren. Bei modernen Applikatoren mit dem oben beschriebenen Aufbau, ist die einstufige Abstreifung mit verschiedenen Nachteilen behaftet:
- der Schaft wird nur unzureichend gereinigt, da die lichte Weite des abstreifenden Elementes auf den Durchmesser des Bürstenkopfes abgestellt ist,
- beim Herausziehen der Bürste gibt es ein Hängen an der Stelle an dem die Bürste und der Schaft zusammentreffen, damit ist die gleitende Entnahme von einem störendem Kraftaufwand begleitet, was zu unkontrollierten Bewegungen und zum bekleckern und verspritzen der Zubereitung führen kann,
- eine zu enge Dimensionierung führt zu vakuumdichten Verschluss und damit zu einem vulgären Geräusch bei der Entnahme (typisches Plopp-Geräusch) und
- bei zu geringem Querschnitt ist eine Beschädigung der Applikatorborsten nicht ausgeschlossen.
- the shaft is insufficiently cleaned, since the clear width of the wiping element is placed on the diameter of the brush head,
- When pulling out the brush, there is a hanging at the point where the brush and the shaft meet, so is the sliding removal accompanied by a disturbing force, which can lead to uncontrolled movements and smearing and splashing of the preparation,
- too narrow a dimensioning leads to a vacuum-tight closure and thus to a vulgar noise during the removal (typical pop-sound) and
- if the cross-section is too small damage to the applicator bristles is not excluded.
Alle diese Probleme sind auf den speziellen Aufbau des modernen Bürstenkopfes zurückzuführen, der im Gegensatz zum drahtgebundenen Bürstenkopf eine geringere Kompressibilität, d.h. einen größeren Durchmesser bei angelegten Borsten aufweist.All of these problems are due to the special design of the modern brush head, which, unlike the wired brush head, has less compressibility, i. has a larger diameter with applied bristles.
Eine unzureichende Reinigung des Schaftes beim Herausziehen führt dazu, dass sich Substrat auf der Innenseite des Abstreifers ansammelt, welches beim Zuschrauben herausquellen kann und damit zur Verschmutzung des Behältnisses führt. Unter Innenseite ist die Seite zu verstehen, die der äußeren Umgebung zugewandt ist. Die Außenseite dagegen ist dem inneren des Produktbehältnisses zugewandt. Die Trennung von Innen- und Außenseite erfolgt im Bereich des kleinsten Durchmessers des abstreifenden Elementes.Inadequate cleaning of the shaft when pulling out causes substrate to accumulate on the inside of the scraper, which can swell out when screwed, thus causing contamination of the container. Inside is the side facing the outside environment. The outside, however, faces the interior of the product container. The separation of inside and outside takes place in the region of the smallest diameter of the stripping element.

Die
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Abstreifer zu finden, der sowohl eine verbesserte Abstreifwirkung hat als auch eine gute und zerstörungsfreie Entnahme der Bürste gewährleistet.The invention has for its object to find a scraper, which has both an improved stripping effect and ensures a good and non-destructive removal of the brush.
Überraschend hat sich gezeigt, dass diese Aufgabe mit der im Folgenden beschriebenen Kombination aus Abstreifer und Applikator mit einem speziell angepassten aussteifenden Kern gelöst wird. Der außerhalb des Bürstenkopfes liegende Teil des aussteifenden Kerns wird im Folgenden Stem genannt. Der Durchmesser ist dabei so zu wählen, dass der Stem ein gewisses Übermaß gegenüber der lichten Weite der Abstreiferinnenseite aufweist, so dass sich ein Kolben-Zylinder-Paar ausbildet. Bevorzugt wird der Durchmesser von 0,005 bis 0,3 mm größer als die lichte Weite der Abstreiferinnenseite gewählt.Surprisingly, it has been found that this object is achieved with the combination of scraper and applicator described below with a specially adapted stiffening core. The part of the stiffening core lying outside the brush head is referred to below as Stem. The diameter is to be chosen so that the stem has a certain excess over the clear width of the scraper inside, so that a piston-cylinder pair is formed. Preferably, the diameter of 0.005 to 0.3 mm is greater than the inside diameter of the scraper inside selected.
Eine entsprechende Abstreifer-Applikatorkombination ist in verschiedenen Anwendungsbereichen einsetzbar. Im folgenden soll beispielhaft von der Applikation von Wimperntusche, der sogenannten Mascara, ausgegangen werden, jedoch ist der erfindungsgemäße Abstreifer auch in gleichartiger Weise für Applikatoren verwendbar, mit welchem Haarfärbemittel, Pharmazeutika o.ä. aufgetragen werden können.A corresponding scraper-applicator combination can be used in various fields of application. The following is an example of the application of mascara, the so-called mascara, to be assumed, however, the scraper according to the invention is also used in a similar manner for applicators, with which hair dyes, pharmaceuticals or the like. can be applied.
Erfindungsgemäße Applikatoren weisen einen aussteifenden Kern aus einem ersten Kunststoff-Material auf, der zumindest im Bereich seines vorderen Endes von einer Trägerhülse aus einem zweiten Kunststoff-Material umgeben ist, die eine Vielzahl von radial nach außen auskragenden Fingern aufweist, die einstückig an die Trägerhülse angeformt sind und aus dem zweiten Kunststoff-Material bestehen, wobei mehrere über den Umfang der Trägerhülse verteilte Finger einen Fingerkranz bilden und wobei in Längsrichtung der Trägerhülse eine Vielzahl von Fingerkränzen hintereinander angeordnet sind (Bürstenkopf). Am hinteren Ende mündet der aussteifende Kern in einen Heft (Handgriff), der meist als Verschlusskappe dient. Dieser endseitige Handgriff lässt sich in der Regel so auf den Substratbehälter aufschrauben, dass der Bürstenkopf in das Substrat eintaucht.Applicators according to the invention have a stiffening core made of a first plastic material, which is surrounded at least in the region of its front end by a carrier sleeve of a second plastic material which has a plurality of radially outwardly projecting fingers which are integral are formed on the support sleeve and made of the second plastic material, wherein a plurality of fingers distributed over the circumference of the support sleeve form a finger ring and wherein in the longitudinal direction of the support sleeve a plurality of finger wreaths are arranged one behind the other (brush head). At the rear end of the stiffening core opens into a handle (handle), which usually serves as a cap. This end-side handle can usually be screwed onto the substrate container in such a way that the brush head dips into the substrate.
Der Stem des erfindungsgemäßen Applikators weist im überwiegenden Bereich einen Durchmesser auf, der ungefähr dem Innendurchmesser des auf den Bürstenkopf abgestimmten Abstreifers entspricht. Erfindungsgemäß sollte der Stem ein Übermaß von 0,005 bis 0,3 mm gegenüber dem Innendurchmesser des unbelasteten Abstreifers aufweisen.The stem of the applicator according to the invention has a diameter in the predominant region which corresponds approximately to the inner diameter of the stripper matched to the brush head. According to the invention, the stem should have an excess of 0.005 to 0.3 mm with respect to the inside diameter of the unloaded scraper.
Im Bereich des Heftes ist der Stem im Umfang derart vergrößert, das eine Abstreifung des an der Abstreiferinnenseite befindlichen Substrates beim Zuschrauben erfolgt.In the area of the booklet, the stem is enlarged in the circumference in such a way that a stripping of the substrate located on the stripper inner side takes place during screwing.
Die Länge des im Umfang vergrößerten Stems richtet sich nach der Länge des eingesetzten Abstreifers und sollte dabei mindestens bis zur oberen Kante bzw. maximal zur unteren Öffnung des Abstreifers reichen.The length of the enlarged in the scope Stems depends on the length of the scraper used and should extend at least to the upper edge or maximum to the lower opening of the scraper.
Erfindungsgemäß ist es auch, das der kolbenartig verdickte Stembereich nur auf einem Teil derart vergrößert ist, das sich ein so genannter Dichtungsring mit einem Übermaß von 0,1 mm bis 2 mm ausbildet. Der Dichtungsring befindet sich erfindungsgemäß zwischen der oberen Kante des Abstreifers und den Kanten der Entlüftungslöcher. Ganz bevorzugt kann der Dichtungsring die Form eines Kreissegmentes, eines Rechtecks, eines Dreiecks oder eines Trapezes aufweisen.It is also according to the invention that the piston-like thickened stem region is enlarged only in such a way that forms a so-called sealing ring with an excess of 0.1 mm to 2 mm. The sealing ring is according to the invention between the upper edge of the scraper and the edges of the vent holes. Most preferably, the sealing ring have the shape of a circle segment, a rectangle, a triangle or a trapezoid.
Durch einen schmalen Dichtungsring wird die Reibung auf dem Stem verringert, wodurch die Entnahme vereinfacht wird.A narrow sealing ring reduces friction on the stem, making it easier to remove.
Von besonderem Vorteil ist, wenn die Kontur des kolbenartig verdickten Stembereiches der Kontur der Abstreiferinnenseite angepasst ist, so dass nur ein geringes Totvolumen zwischen Abstreifer und Stem bei vollständig eingeführtem Applikator entsteht.It is particularly advantageous if the contour of the piston-like thickened Stembereiches the contour of the scraper inside is adjusted, so that only a small dead volume between the scraper and Stem is formed at fully inserted applicator.
Der erfindungsgemäße Abstreifer weist im Gegensatz zu den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Abstreifern im vorderen Bereich Öffnungen auf,
- die einen Druckausgleich zwischen Behälterinnenraum und der äußeren Atmosphäre bewirken und
- die eine Rückführung des an der Abstreiferinnenseite befindlichen Substrates in den Behälterinnenraum ermöglichen.
- which cause a pressure equalization between the container interior and the external atmosphere and
- which allow a return of the substrate located on the scraper inside the container interior.
Der Druckausgleich erfolgt sowohl beim hinausziehen des Applikators (Entnahmevorgang) als auch beim Hineinschieben des Applikators (Eintauchvorgang) in das Behältnis.The pressure equalization takes place both when pulling out the applicator (removal process) and when pushing the applicator (immersion process) into the container.
Das bei herkömmlichen Abstreifern auftretende typische Plopp-Geräusch, welches von vielen Verbrauchern als unschön und ordinär angesehen wird, tritt durch die Möglichkeit des kontinuierlichen Druckausgleichs nicht mehr auf.The typical pop-up noise that occurs with conventional scrapers, which is considered by many consumers to be ugly and vulgar, no longer occurs due to the possibility of continuous pressure equalization.
Durch den Rücktransport, das Zurückdrücken des Substrates durch den kolbenartig verdickten Stemteil durch die seitlichen Abstreiferöffnungen in den Behälterinnenraum, wird die Abstreiferinnenseite regelmäßig beim Zuschrauben des Behältnisses von Mascararesten befreit.By the return transport, pushing back the substrate through the piston-like thickened Stemteil by the side scraper openings in the container interior, the Scraper inside regularly when screwing the container of Mascararesten freed.
Erfindungsgemäß können die Öffnungen in ihrem Querschnitt alle denkbaren geometrischen Figuren aufweisen und die Öffnungen so angeordnet werden, dass sich ein umlaufendes Gitter oder Netz ausbildet.According to the invention, the openings can have all conceivable geometric figures in their cross section and the openings can be arranged so that a circumferential grid or network is formed.
Erfindungsgemäße Abstreifer sind aus einem hinreichend flexiblen Material, welches den Ansprüchen der Dauerbiegebelastbarkeit standhält, insbesondere aus Polypropylen oder Elastomeren.Scrapers according to the invention are made of a sufficiently flexible material which withstands the requirements of the duration of bending resilience, in particular of polypropylene or elastomers.
Erfindungsgemäße Abstreifer können an der Außenfläche Einschnürungen und/oder Ausweitungen aufweisen, die eine stabile Verankerung im Produktbehältnis ermöglichen.Scrapers according to the invention can have constrictions and / or expansions on the outer surface, which enable a stable anchoring in the product container.
Erfindungsgemäß lassen sich durch die Wahl der lichten Weite des abstreifenden Elementes der Anpressdruck an den Applikator und damit die Abstreifleistung festlegen.According to the invention can be determined by the choice of the clearance of the stripping element of the contact pressure to the applicator and thus the Abstreifleistung.
Weitere Vorteile, Merkmale und Einzelheiten der Erfindung werden nachfolgend, anhand von einem in schematischen Zeichnungsfiguren dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel, näher erläutert. Die Erfindung soll jedoch nicht auf das Ausführungsbeispiel eingeschränkt sein, welches nur zur visuellen Unterstützung der Beschreibung dient.Further advantages, features and details of the invention are explained in more detail below, with reference to an embodiment shown in schematic drawing figures.
