Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf einen Applikator für ein LippenKosmetikum aus einem weichen Material, insbesondere aus Schaumstoff.The invention is directed to an applicator for a lip cosmetic made of a soft material, in particular of foam.

Ein derartiger gattungsgemäßer Applikator ist bekannt aus EP 0 728 426 . Dieser vorbekannte Applikator weist eine im wesentlichen konische Grundform mit einer Spitze und einer gekrümmten Mittel-Längsachse auf. Die Spitze ermöglicht es, den Applikator zum Nachzeichnen der Lippenkontur zu verwenden.Such a generic applicator is known from EP 0 728 426 , This prior art applicator has a substantially conical basic shape with a tip and a curved central longitudinal axis. The tip makes it possible to use the applicator to trace the lip contour.

Aus EP 1 053 695 B1 ist ein beflockter Lippenapplikator bekannt, der in Längsrichtung gesehen gekrümmt sein oder einen Knick aufweisen kann.Out EP 1 053 695 B1 For example, a flocked lip applicator is known that can be curved in the longitudinal direction or have a kink.

EP 0 663 161 B1 und EP 0 792 603 B2 beschreiben Mascara-Bürstchen mit einem konkav gekrümmten Mittelteil, das der Form einer Wimpemanordnung an einem Augenlid entspricht. EP 0 663 161 B1 and EP 0 792 603 B2 describe mascara brushes having a concavely curved central portion that conforms to the shape of a pimple assembly on an eyelid.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Applikator zu schaffen, der es ermöglicht, ein Reservoir für ein Lippenkosmetikum zu schaffen, welches beim Herausziehen des Applikator aus dem Vorratsbehälter und beim Passieren einer Abstreifeinrichtung nicht abgestreift wird, wobei der Applikator außerdem noch in optimaler Weise an die Lippenkontur angepasst sein soll.The invention has for its object to provide an applicator, which makes it possible to provide a reservoir for a lip cosmetic, which is not stripped when pulling the applicator from the reservoir and when passing a stripping, wherein the applicator also still in an optimal manner the lip contour should be adjusted.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass der Applikator zwei ballig verdickte, nach außen hin abgerundete Endabschnitte und einen konkav verjüngten Mittelabschnitt aufweist.This object is achieved in that the applicator has two spherically thickened, outwardly rounded end portions and a concave tapered central portion.

Der Applikator weist also annähernd die Form einer Erdnussschale auf.The applicator thus has approximately the shape of a peanut shell.

Beim Herausziehen des üblicherweise an einem Stiel befestigten Applikators aus dem Vorrat von Lippenkosmetikum wird der konkave Mittelbereich zumindestens teilweise nicht abgestreift, so dass ein definierter Vorrat an auf die Lippen aufzutragendem Kosmetikum verbleibt. Dieses wird dann so auf die Lippen aufgetragen, dass der Applikatorstiel im wesentlichen senkrecht zu den Lippen längs der Lippen bewegt wird, so dass der konkave Mittelabschnitt der Lippenkontur folgt und die Lippe zwischen den verdickten Endabschnitten rundum gleichmäßig mit Kosmetikum bedeckt wird.When withdrawing the usually attached to a handle applicator from the supply of lip cosmetic, the concave central region is at least partially not stripped, so that a defined supply remains to be applied to the lips cosmetic. This is then applied to the lips so that the applicator stem is moved substantially perpendicular to the lips along the lips so that the concave central portion follows the lip contour and the lip between the thickened end portions is evenly covered with cosmetic throughout.

Der Applikator besteht vorzugsweise aus einem Schaumstoff, insbesondere einem Polyurethan-Schaumstoff.The applicator preferably consists of a foam, in particular a polyurethane foam.

Zur Formstabilisierung und zur Realisierung eines Stielansatzes kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Applikator einen durch Spritzgießen hergestellten, insbesondere aus Polyamid bestehenden Kern aufweist.In order to stabilize the shape and to realize a handle attachment, it can be provided that the applicator has a core produced by injection molding, in particular consisting of polyamide.

Der Kern ist günstigerweise mit dem Schaumstoffmaterial umklebt und an den Rändern verschweißt.The core is conveniently glued to the foam material and welded at the edges.

An den erdnussschalenförmigen Grundkörper des Kerns kann sich ein kegelstumpfförmiger Abschnitt anschließen.To the peanut shell-shaped body of the core, a frustoconical section can join.

Weiterhin kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Kern im Bereich der Spitze des Schaumstoffkörpers frei nach außen vortritt, um auf diese Weise ein optimales Konturzeichnen zu ermöglichen.Furthermore, it can be provided that the core in the region of the tip of the foam body freely protrudes to the outside, to allow in this way an optimal contouring.

Zur Erreichung dieses Ziels kann auch der Durchmesser des distalen Endabschnitts geringer sein als derjenige des proximalen Endabschnitts.To achieve this goal, the diameter of the distal end portion may be smaller than that of the proximal end portion.

Der Applikator kann abgeflacht ausgebildet sein, um mit der flachen Seite auftragen und mit der schmalen Seite konturieren zu können.The applicator can be flattened to be able to apply with the flat side and to be able to contour with the narrow side.

Günstigerweise kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass der Applikator aus mindestens zwei unterschiedlichen, miteinander verbundenen Schaumstoffen besteht, die sich in Farbe und/oder Stärke und/oder Porenzahl und/oder Porengröße unterscheiden.Conveniently, it can also be provided that the applicator consists of at least two different, interconnected foams, which differ in color and / or strength and / or pore number and / or pore size.

Der Schaumstoff kann zum Öffnen der Poren nachbehandelt (retikuliert) sein.The foam may be post-treated (reticulated) to open the pores.

Die Erfindung betrifft auch eine Kosmetikeinheit umfassend einen Vorratsbehälter, einen Deckel, an welchem ein Stiel mit einem Applikator befestigt ist und einen Abstreifer zum Abstreifen überflüssigen Kosmetikums beim Herausziehen des Applikators aus dem Vorratsbehälter, wobei vorgesehen ist, dass der Abstreifer eine freie Öffnung aufweist, die so dimensioniert ist, dass beim Herausziehen des Applikators die balligen Endabschnitte, nicht jedoch der Mittelabschnitt abgestreift werden.The invention also relates to a cosmetic unit comprising a reservoir, a lid to which a handle is attached with an applicator and a scraper for stripping superfluous cosmetic when pulling the applicator from the reservoir, wherein it is provided that the scraper has a free opening, the is dimensioned so that when pulling out of the applicator, the crowned end portions, but not the middle portion are stripped off.

Ein in der Zeichnung dargestellter Applikator 1 ist mit einem Stielansatz 2 versehen. Der Stielansatz 2 ist aus Polyamid (Grilamid) durch Spritzgießen hergestellt und erstreckt sich in das Innere des Applikators 1 hinein und bildet so einen Kern 3.An illustrated in the drawing applicator 1 is provided with a handle neck 2. The stem attachment 2 is made of polyamide (Grilamid) by injection molding and extends into the interior of the applicator 1 and thus forms a core. 3

Um den Kern 3 herum ist ein Polyurethan-Schaumstoff geklebt und an den Rändern verschweißt.Around the core 3 around a polyurethane foam is glued and welded at the edges.

Der Applikator 1 weist eine erdnussschalenförmige Grundform auf, d.h. einen inneren, ballig verdickten Endabschnitt 4, einen äußeren, ballig verdickten Endabschnitt 5, der praktisch eine abgerundete Spitze 6 bildet, und einen konkav verjüngten Mittelabschnitt 7.The applicator 1 has a peanut-shell-shaped basic shape, i. an inner, crowned thickened end portion 4, an outer, crowned thickened end portion 5, which practically forms a rounded tip 6, and a concave tapered central portion 7th

Der Außendurchmesser D der ballig verdickten Abschnitte 4, 5 ist so dimensioniert, dass er etwa 1/10 mm kleiner ist als der Innendurchmesser eines Abstreifers.The outer diameter D of the spherically thickened sections 4, 5 is dimensioned so that it is about 1/10 mm smaller than the inner diameter of a scraper.

Dies führt dazu, dass beim Herausziehen des Applikators aus einem Vorratsbehälter mit Lippenkosmetikum durch den Abstreifer hindurch das im verjüngten Mittelabschnitt 7 anhaftende Kosmetikum im wesentlichen dort verbleibt. Er wird auf die Lippen aufgetragen, indem der Applikator mit seiner Mittellängsachse im wesentlichen senkrecht zur Längsrichtung der Lippen über diese geführt wird. Die abgerundete Spitze 6 des Applikators kann dazu verwendet werden, erforderlichenfalls lokal das Kosmetikum ergänzend zu verteilen oder eine Kontur zu zeichnen.As a result, when the applicator is withdrawn from a storage container with lip cosmetic through the scraper, the cosmetic adhering in the tapered middle section 7 essentially remains there. It is applied to the lips by the applicator is guided with its central longitudinal axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the lips on this. The rounded tip 6 of the applicator may be used to supplementally distribute the cosmetic locally or draw a contour, if necessary.

Bei der in Fig. 2 und 3 dargestellten Ausführungsform durchbricht der Kern 3 mit einer Spitze 8 die abgerundete Spitze 6 des Schaumstoffs, wodurch ein besonders präzises Konturzeichnen ermöglicht wird.In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the core 3 with a tip 8 breaks through the rounded tip 6 of the foam, thereby enabling a particularly precise contouring.

Bei der in Fig. 4 und 5 dargestellten Ausführungsform ist der Durchmesser des Endabschnitts 5 geringer als derjenige des Endabschnitts 4, was ebenfalls einen präziseren Auftrag ermöglicht.In the embodiment shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the diameter of the end portion 5 is smaller than that of the end portion 4, which also allows a more precise application.

Fig. 6 und 7 zeigen eine nicht rotationssymmetrische Ausführungsform, das heißt der Applikator ist, wie insbesondere Fig. 7 veranschaulicht, abgeflacht, so dass mit dieser Seite ein präzises Auftragen ermöglicht wird, während die breite Seite als flächiges Auftragen erlaubt.Fig. 6 and 7 show a non-rotationally symmetrical embodiment, that is, the applicator is, in particular Fig. 7 illustrated, flattened, so that with this page a precise application is possible, while the broad side allowed as a flat application.

In Fig. 8 ist eine komplette Kosmetikeinheit 9 dargestellt mit einem Vorratsbehälter 10 für ein Kosmetikum und einer Behälterkappe 11, die auf den Hals 12 des Behälters aufschraubbar ist.In Fig. 8, a complete cosmetic unit 9 is shown with a reservoir 10 for a cosmetic and a container cap 11 which is screwed onto the neck 12 of the container.

In der Kappe 11 ist ein Stiel 13 befestigt, an dessen freiem Ende ein erfindungsgemäßer Applikator 1 angeordnet ist.In the cap 11, a stem 13 is attached to the free end of an inventive applicator 1 is arranged.

In einer Öffnung des Behälters 10 ist ein Abstreifer 14 mit einer Durchlassöffnung für den Applikator 1 vorgesehen, die so dimensioniert ist, dass beim Herausziehen des Applikators 1 zwar die Endabschnitte 4, 5, nicht aber der Zwischenabschnitt 7 abgestreift werden, so dass eine hinreichende Menge von Kosmetikum dort verbleibt und transferiert werden kann.In an opening of the container 10, a scraper 14 is provided with a passage opening for the applicator 1, which is dimensioned so that when pulling out of the applicator 1, although the end portions 4, 5, but not the intermediate portion 7 are stripped off, so that a sufficient amount of cosmetic remains there and can be transferred.
