A piston (9) is guided for movement in the housing to feed the product to the applicator. A piston connecting component (12) cooperates with the push rod connecting component (13) of a piston push rod (11) to extend the piston. The rod establishes a push connection with the piston. The rod is a part of a feed device on the base stick module and is positioned on the side of the piston remote from the product. An independent claim is included for the set.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Produkt-Austauscheinheit für ein Basis-Stiftmodul eines Kosmetikstifts. Ferner betrifft die Erfindung ein Set aus einer derartigen Produkt-Austauscheinheit und einer Mehrzahl von Basis-Stiftmodulen.The invention relates to a product replacement unit for a base pin module of a cosmetic pencil. Furthermore, the invention relates to a set of such a product exchange unit and a plurality of base pin modules.

Eine derartige Produkt-Austauscheinheit ist in Form einer Kosmetikprodukt-Austauscheinheit durch offenkundige Vorbenutzung bekannt. Sobald das Kosmetikprodukt verbraucht ist und nicht mehr benutzt werden soll, kommt die bekannte Austauscheinheit als Ersatz für eine entsprechende Einheit zum Einsatz, wobei die Austauscheinheit zusammen mit dem zugehörigen Basis-Stiftmodul wiederum den kompletten Kosmetikstift ergibt. Die Austauscheinheiten, die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt sind, sind aufwändig in der Herstellung.Such a product exchange unit is known in the form of a cosmetic product exchange unit by obvious prior use. Once the cosmetic product is used up and should no longer be used, the known exchange unit comes as a replacement for a corresponding unit used, the exchange unit, in turn, together with the associated base pin module results in the complete cosmetic pencil. The replacement units known in the art are expensive to manufacture.

Aus der DE 203 02 008 U1 ist eine Applikationsvorrichtung zum Auftragen eines flüssigen, gelartigen oder pastösen Kosmetikmediums auf die Haut bekannt.From the DE 203 02 008 U1 An application device for applying a liquid, gelatinous or pasty cosmetic medium to the skin is known.

Es ist daher eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Produkt-Austauscheinheit der eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzubilden, dass der Herstellungsaufwand hierfür vermindert ist.It is therefore an object of the present invention, a product exchange unit of the type mentioned in such a way that the manufacturing cost is reduced for this purpose.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine Austauscheinheit mit den im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.This object is achieved by an exchange unit with the features specified in claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß wurde erkannt, dass es nicht erforderlich ist, mechanische Wirkkomponenten der Vorschubeinrichtung des Stifts, insbesondere des Kosmetikstifts, in der Austauscheinheit zu verbauen. Derartige Wirkkomponenten der Vorschubeinrichtung sind bei der erfindungsgemäßen Austauscheinheit weggelassen und komplett im Basis-Stiftmodul verbaut. Es resultiert eine einfach aufgebaute Austauscheinheit, die entsprechend kostengünstig hergestellt werden kann. Die Austauscheinheiten können separat von den Basis-Stiftmodulen mit Produkt befüllt, gelagert und vertrieben werden. Die Komplettierung der Austauscheinheiten mit den Basis-Stiftmodulen zu den vollständigen Kosmetikstiften kann erst beim Kunden oder unmittelbar vor der Auslieferung erfolgen. Durch die Verwendung der Austauscheinheiten ist es möglich, die Vorschubeinrichtungen als hochwertige Mechaniken auszuführen, die zu einem entsprechenden Preis vertrieben werden können. Derartige Mechaniken können beispielsweise aus eloxiertem Aluminium hergestellt werden. Die hochwertigen Mechaniken können vielfach genutzt werden, indem jeweils wieder neue Austauscheinheiten zum Ersatz gegen verbrauchte Einheiten eingesetzt und mit der Vorschubeinrichtung des Basis-Stiftmoduls verbunden werden. Es ist zudem möglich, die Austauscheinheiten mit unterschiedlichen Produkten, insbesondere auch mit unterschiedlichen Applikatoren oder unterschiedlichen Abmessungen, z. B. mit unterschiedlichen Applikationsflächen oder unterschiedlichen Kolbendurchmessern oder mit unterschiedlichen Vorratsbehältergrößen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Benutzer können daher bei Kauf nur eines einzigen Basis-Stiftmoduls beispielsweise zwischen verschiedenen Kosmetikprodukten, z. B. verschiedenen Farben, und auch verschiedenen Behältergrößen und Applikationstechniken wählen, ohne hierzu jeweils ein komplett neues Basis-Stiftmodul erwerben zu müssen. Die erfindungsgemäße Austausch-Einheit kann bei Kosmetikstiften, aber genauso auch bei Schreibgeräten oder auch bei medizinischen Dosiereinrichtungen zum Einsatz kommen. Das Produkt, insbesondere das Kosmetikprodukt, kann auch in gelartiger Form vorliegen. Dadurch dass die Kolben-Schubstange auf der dem Produkt abgewandten Seite anordenbar ist, kommt außer dem Kolben kein weiteres Teil des Kolben-Verstellmechanismus mit dem Produkt in Berührung. Dies stellt im Vergleich zu Verstellmechanismen mit Spindeln, die den Kolben durchdringen, einen besonderen Vorteil dar.According to the invention, it has been recognized that it is not necessary to install mechanical active components of the feed device of the pin, in particular of the cosmetic pencil, in the replacement unit. Such active components of the feed device are in the inventive Replacement unit omitted and completely installed in the base pen module. The result is a simply constructed exchange unit, which can be manufactured according to cost. The replacement units may be product filled, stored, and distributed separately from the base pin modules. The completion of the replacement units with the base pin modules to the complete cosmetic pencils can be done only at the customer or immediately before delivery. By using the exchange units, it is possible to design the feeders as high-quality mechanisms that can be distributed at an appropriate price. Such mechanisms can be made for example of anodized aluminum. The high-quality mechanisms can be used in many ways by again new replacement units used to replace used units and connected to the feed device of the base pin module. It is also possible, the exchange units with different products, especially with different applicators or different dimensions, eg. B. with different application areas or different piston diameters or with different reservoir sizes available. Users can therefore buy only a single base pen module, for example, between different cosmetic products, eg. B. different colors, and also different container sizes and application techniques, without having to acquire a completely new base-pin module. The exchange unit according to the invention can be used in cosmetic pencils, but also in writing instruments or even in medical metering devices. The product, especially the cosmetic product, may also be in gelatinous form. Due to the fact that the piston push rod can be arranged on the side facing away from the product, no further part of the piston adjustment mechanism comes with the product except the piston in touch. This is compared to adjusting mechanisms with spindles, which penetrate the piston, a particular advantage.

Eine Ausgestaltung des Austauschgehäuses nach Anspruch 2 verringert den Montageaufwand der Austauscheinheit.An embodiment of the exchange housing according to claim 2 reduces the assembly cost of the exchange unit.

Eine Dichtungskappe nach Anspruch 3 gewährleistet, dass das Produkt beim Lagern der Austauscheinheit nicht eintrocknet.A sealing cap according to claim 3 ensures that the product does not dry when storing the replacement unit.

Eine Abschlusskappe nach Anspruch 4 schützt den Kolben der Austauscheinheit. Auch die Abschlusskappe kann zum dichtenden Verschließen des Austauschgehäuses ausgeführt sein.An end cap according to claim 4 protects the piston of the exchange unit. Also, the end cap can be designed to seal the exchange housing.

Eine Verbindungskomponente nach Anspruch 5 ist einfach ausgeführt und trägt dem Umstand Rechnung, dass eine Schubverbindung zur Förderung des Kosmetikprodukts in der Regel ausreicht. Es ist also nicht erforderlich, den Kolben über die Kolben-Schubstange wieder zurückzuziehen.A connection component according to claim 5 is simple and takes into account the fact that a thrust connection to promote the cosmetic product is usually sufficient. It is therefore not necessary to retract the piston via the piston push rod again.

Eine weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Vorteile einer Austauscheinheit ohne aufwändige Komponenten von Vorschubeinrichtungen noch umfassender nutzbar zu machen.A further object of the invention is to make the advantages of a replacement unit even more comprehensively usable without complicated components of feed devices.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch ein Set mit den im Anspruch 6 angegebenen Merkmalen.This object is achieved by a set with the features specified in claim 6.

Erfindungsgemäß wurde erkannt, dass bei einer Austauscheinheit, die keine Wirkkomponenten einer Vorschubeinrichtung zum Kolbenvorschub mehr aufweist, die Art und Weise des mechanischen Aufbaus dieser Wirkkomponenten der Vorschubeinrichtung frei gewählt werden kann. Die Austauscheinheit kann daher mit Basis-Stiftmodulen unterschiedlicher mechanischer Wirkprinzipien eingesetzt werden. Entscheidend ist nur, eine Kompatibilität in der Verbindung der Austauscheinheit mit dem Basis-Stiftmodul bereit zu stellen.According to the invention, it has been recognized that, in the case of an exchange unit which no longer has active components of a feed device for the piston feed, the manner of mechanical construction of these active components of the feed device can be freely selected. The exchange unit can therefore be used with basic pin modules of different mechanical principles of action. All that matters is to provide compatibility in the connection of the replacement unit to the base pen module.

Mechaniken des Basis-Stiftmoduls nach den Ansprüchen 7 und 8 haben sich beim Einsatz eines fließfähigen Produktes bewährt.Mechanisms of the basic pin module according to claims 7 and 8 have proven themselves when using a flowable product.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. In dieser zeigen:

Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen eine Produkt-Austauscheinheit 1 für ein Basis-Stiftmodul eines Kosmetikstifts. Beispiele für derartige Basis-Stiftmodule, die mit der Produkt-Austauscheinheit 1 zu einem vollständigen Kosmetikstift 2 ergänzt werden, zeigen die Fig. 3 und 4 (Basis-Stiftmodul 3) sowie Fig. 5 und 6 (Basis-Stiftmodul 4). Fig. 1 and 2 show a product exchange unit 1 for a base pen module of a cosmetic pencil. Examples of such base pin modules, which are supplemented with the product exchange unit 1 to a complete cosmetic pencil 2, show the 3 and 4 (Basic pen module 3) as well FIGS. 5 and 6 (Basic pen module 4).

Die Produkt-Austauscheinheit 1 hat ein Austauschgehäuse 5 mit einem Vorratsbehälter 6, in dem ein Kosmetikprodukt in cremiger, flüssiger, pastöser oder gelartiger Form vorliegt. Der Vorratsbehälter 6 kann einen runden, einen ovalen oder auch einen mehreckigen Querschnitt aufweisen. Der Vorratsbehälter 6 ist aus einem transparenten Material aus Kunststoff oder Glas und einstückig derart an einen Grundkörper des Austauschgehäuses 5 angeformt, dass der Vorratsbehälter 6 eine transparente Gehäusewand des Austauschgehäuses 5 bildet. Eine Füllstandskontrolle des Kosmetikprodukts im Austauschgehäuse 5 ist so auf einfache Weise als Sichtprüfung von außen möglich.The product exchange unit 1 has a replacement housing 5 with a reservoir 6 in which a cosmetic product in creamy, liquid, pasty or gelatinous form is present. The reservoir 6 may have a round, an oval or a polygonal cross section. The reservoir 6 is made of a transparent material made of plastic or glass and integrally formed on a base body of the replacement housing 5 such that the reservoir 6 forms a transparent housing wall of the replacement housing 5. A level control of the cosmetic product in the exchange housing 5 is possible in a simple manner as a visual inspection from the outside.

Mit dem Vorratsbehälter 6 in Fluidverbindung steht ein Applikator 7, der auf den Vorratsbehälter 6 aufgesetzt ist. Der Applikator 7 ist als beflockter Applikator mit einer abgeschrägten Applikationsfläche 8 ausgeführt. Auch eine unbeflockte Ausgestaltung des Applikators 7 ist möglich. Generell können beispielsweise Applikatorvarianten zum Einsatz kommen, die aus der DE 203 02 008 U1 bekannt sind.In fluid communication with the reservoir 6 is an applicator 7, which is placed on the reservoir 6. The applicator 7 is designed as a flocked applicator with a beveled application surface 8. An unflocked embodiment of the applicator 7 is possible. In general, for example, applicator variants can be used which consist of the DE 203 02 008 U1 are known.

Im Austauschgehäuse 5 ist ein im Vorratsbehälter 6 verschiebbar geführter Kolben 9 angeordnet. Der Kolben 9 dichtet randseitig gegen die Innenwand des Vorratsbehälters 6 ab. Wenn der Kolben 9 in der Fig. 1 im Vorratsbehälter 6 nach oben hin verlagert wird, wird hierdurch das Kosmetikprodukt aus dem Vorratsbehälter 6 in den Applikator 7 gedrückt und tritt über die Applikationsfläche 8 zum Auftrag des Kosmetikprodukts aus.In the exchange housing 5 a displaceably guided in the reservoir 6 piston 9 is arranged. The piston 9 seals at the edge against the inner wall of the reservoir 6 from. When the piston 9 in the Fig. 1 is shifted in the reservoir 6 upwards, thereby the cosmetic product from the reservoir 6 is pressed into the applicator 7 and exits through the application surface 8 for application of the cosmetic product.

In einer in der Fig. 1 dargestellten maximal im Vorratsbehälter 6 nach unten verlagerten Position ist der Kolben 9 durch einen Haltebund 10 des Austauschgehäuses 5 gesichert. Auch eine Verdrehsicherung des Kolbens 9 im Vorratsbehälter 6 kann vorgesehen sein. Dies ist in der Fig. 1 nicht dargestellt.In one in the Fig. 1 shown maximum in the reservoir 6 downwardly displaced position, the piston 9 is secured by a retaining collar 10 of the exchange housing 5. An anti-rotation of the piston 9 in the reservoir 6 may be provided. This is in the Fig. 1 not shown.

Der Kolben 9 wirkt zur Hubverlagerung des Kolbens 9 im Vorratsbehälter 6 mit einer Kolben-Schubstange 11 zusammen, die in der Fig. 1 als Gewindestange dargestellt ist. Dabei ist der Kolben 9 mit der Kolben-Schubstange 11 über eine Kolben-Verbindungskomponente verbunden, die als Sackausnehmung 12 ausgebildet ist, in die ein gegebenenfalls abgedecktes freies Ende 13 der Kolbenstange 11 eindringt. Die Kolbenstange 11 ist nicht Teil der Produkt-Austauscheinheit 1, sondern Teil des Basis-Stiftmoduls 3 oder 4.The piston 9 cooperates with the stroke displacement of the piston 9 in the reservoir 6 with a piston push rod 11, which in the Fig. 1 is shown as a threaded rod. In this case, the piston 9 is connected to the piston push rod 11 via a piston connection component, which is formed as a blind recess 12 into which an optionally covered free end 13 of the piston rod 11 penetrates. The piston rod 11 is not part of the product exchange unit 1, but part of the base pin module 3 or 4.

Eine Dichtungskappe 14 verschließt bei Nichtgebrauch des Kosmetikstifts 2 mit der Produkt-Austauscheinheit 1 das Austauschgehäuse 5 auf der Seite des Applikators 7 dicht.A sealing cap 14 seals when not using the cosmetic pencil 2 with the product exchange unit 1, the replacement housing 5 on the side of the applicator 7 tight.

Fig. 2 zeigt die Produkt-Austauscheinheit 1 mit einer aufgesetzten Abschlusskappe 15, die zum Lagern der Austauscheinheit 1 das Austauschgehäuse 5 auf der Seite des Kolbens 9 verschließt. Die Abschlusskappe 15 wird dabei auf Rastelemente 16 des Austauschgehäuses 5 aufgerastet, die in der schematischen Darstellung nach Fig. 1 nicht sichtbar sind. Fig. 2 shows the product exchange unit 1 with an attached end cap 15 which closes the exchange housing 5 on the side of the piston 9 for storing the exchange unit 1. The end cap 15 is latched onto locking elements 16 of the exchange housing 5, which in the schematic representation Fig. 1 are not visible.

Unter Bezugnahme auf die Fig. 3 und 4 wird nachfolgend eine Druckmechanik des Basis-Stiftmoduls 3 beschrieben. Fig. 3 zeigt dabei den gesamten Kosmetikstift 2 mit dem Basis-Stiftmodul 3, wobei Letzteres durch die Austauscheinheit 1 zum gesamten Kosmetikstift 2 ergänzt ist. Das freie Ende 13 der Kolben-Schubstange 11 ist in der Fig. 4 gerade nicht mehr dargestellt.With reference to the 3 and 4 a printing mechanism of the base pin module 3 will be described below. Fig. 3 shows the entire cosmetic pencil 2 with the base pen module 3, the latter being supplemented by the exchange unit 1 to the entire cosmetic pencil 2. The free end 13 of the piston push rod 11 is in the Fig. 4 just not shown.

Zu einer Vorschubeinrichtung 17 des Basis-Stiftmoduls 3 zum Vorschub der Kolben-Schubstange 11 gehört eine Betätigungs-Schubstange 18. Letztere steht mit der Kolben-Schubstange 11 in Schubverbindung. Die Schubverbindung der beiden Schubstangen 11, 18 geschieht über ein Anschlagpaar aus einem ersten Anschlag 19, der an der Betätigungs-Schubstange 18 angeordnet ist und einer axial längs der Kolben-Schubstange 11 hintereinander äquidistant zueinander angeordneten Mehrzahl von zweiten Anschlägen 20. Insgesamt liegen auf einer Höhe zwei Reihen zweiter Anschläge 20 vor, zwischen denen die Betätigungs-Schubstange 18 läuft. In der in Fig. 4 dargestellten Vorschubstellung wirkt der erste Anschlag 19 der Betätigungs-Schubstange 18 mit dem in der Fig. 4 am weitesten links angeordneten zweiten Anschlag 20 zusammen, sodass der Kolben in der in der Fig. 1 dargestellten Ausgangsposition, also vollständig hin zum Haltebund 10 einzogen, vorliegt.To an advancing device 17 of the base pin module 3 for advancing the piston push rod 11 includes an actuating push rod 18. The latter is in thrust connection with the piston push rod 11. The thrust connection of the two push rods 11, 18 via a pair of stops from a first stop 19, which is arranged on the actuating push rod 18 and an axially along the piston push rod 11 in a row equidistant from each other arranged plurality of second stops 20. Total lie on one Height two rows of second stops 20 before, between which the actuating push rod 18 runs. In the in Fig. 4 shown feed position acts the first stop 19 of the actuating push rod 18 with the in the Fig. 4 the leftmost second stop 20 together, so that the piston in the in the Fig. 1 shown starting position, that is fully retracted towards the retaining collar 10, is present.

Dort, wo die Betätigungs-Schubstange 18 zwischen den beiden Reihen zweiter Anschläge 20 läuft, bis hin zum freien Ende der Kolben-Schubstange 11 sind die beiden Schubstangen 11, 18 zueinander geführt, sodass eine definierte Relativbewegung der beiden Schubstangen 11, 18 zueinander möglich ist. Diese Führung geschieht durch eine komplementäre Querschnittsgestaltung benachbarter Abschnitte der Schubstangen 11, 18. Bei dieser Führungseinrichtung handelt es sich um eine T-Nutführung.There, where the actuating push rod 18 between the two rows of second stops 20 runs to the free end of the piston push rod 11, the two push rods 11, 18 are guided to each other, so that a defined relative movement of the two push rods 11, 18 to each other is possible. This guide is done by a complementary cross-sectional configuration of adjacent portions of the push rods 11, 18. In this guide device is a T-slot guide.

Die Betätigungs-Schubstange 18 hat an ihrem vom Kolben 9 abgewandten Ende einen Anlage-Umfangsbund 21. Der Außendurchmesser des Anlage-Umfangsbundes 21 entspricht dem Innendurchmesser eines Basisgehäuses 22 des Basis-Stiftmoduls 3. Ein dem Anlage-Umfangsbund 21 benachbartes freies Ende 23 der Betätigungs-Schubstange 18 trägt als Betätigungselement einen Bedienknopf 24, der auf das freie Ende 23 aufgerastet ist. Der Bedienknopf 24 ragt nach Art eines Bedienknopfes für einen Kugelschreiber aus dem der Austauscheinheit 1 gegenüberliegenden Ende des Basisgehäuses 22 hinaus. In eine Gehäuseöffnung des Basisgehäuses 22, aus der der Bedienknopf 24 herausragt, ist ein nach Art einer Hülse geformter Stopfen 25 eingerastet, der vom Bedienknopf 24 durchdrungen wird. Eine innere Stirnwand des Stopfens 25 liegt am Anlage-Umfangsbund 21 der Betätigungs-Schubstange 18 an. Auf der dem Stopfen 25 gegenüberliegenden Seite liegt am Anlage-Umfangsbund 21 eine Kunststoff-Vorspannfeder 26 an. An ihrem gegenüberliegenden freien Ende stützt sich die Kunststoff-Vorspannfeder 26 an einem nach innen vorspringenden Umfangsbund des Basisgehäuses 22 ab. Dieser nicht dargestellte Umfangsbund ist einer Trennlinie 27 zwischen dem Basisgehäuse 22 und dem Austauschgehäuse 5 nahe benachbart.The actuating push rod 18 has at its end facing away from the piston 9 a plant-Umfangsbund 21. The outer diameter of the Anlage-Umfangsbundes 21 corresponds to the inner diameter of a base housing 22 of the base pin module 3. A the plant-Umfangsbund 21 adjacent the free end 23 of the actuator Push rod 18 carries as an actuating element a control knob 24 which is latched onto the free end 23. The control knob 24 protrudes in the manner of a control knob for a ballpoint pen from the end of the base housing 22 opposite the replacement unit 1. In a housing opening of the base housing 22, from which the control knob 24 protrudes, a formed in the manner of a sleeve plug 25 is engaged, which is penetrated by the control knob 24. An inner end wall of the plug 25 abuts the abutment circumferential collar 21 of the actuating push rod 18. On the opposite side of the plug 25 is located on the plant-circumferential collar 21, a plastic biasing spring 26 at. At its opposite free end, the plastic biasing spring 26 is supported on an inwardly projecting circumferential collar of the base housing 22. This circumferential collar, not shown, is closely adjacent a parting line 27 between the base housing 22 and the exchange housing 5.

Teil der Vorschubeinrichtung 17 ist eine Anschlagwechseleinrichtung 28. Mit letzterer erfolgt zum Vorschub des Kolbens 9 ein Wechsel des ersten Anschlags 19 zwischen einem der zweiten Anschläge 20, mit dem der erste Anschlag 19 momentan zusammenwirkt und der auch als zweiter Momentananschlag bezeichnet wird, und einem axial benachbarten weiteren zweiten Anschlag 20, der auch als Ziel-Anschlag bezeichnet wird. Die Anschlagwechseleinrichtung 28 hat einen Mitnehmerkörper 29, der an der Betätigungs-Schubstange 18 an deren freiem, dem Kolben 9 zugewandten Ende angeformt ist. Der Mitnehmerkörper 29 trägt beidseitig nach Art von Flügelstummeln die beiden auf gleicher Höhe angeordneten ersten Anschläge 19.Part of the feed device 17 is a stop changing device 28. With the latter is carried out for advancing the piston 9, a change of the first stopper 19 between one of the second stops 20, with which the first stop 19 currently interacts and which is also referred to as the second instantaneous stop, and an axial adjacent another second Stop 20, also known as the target stop. The abutment changing device 28 has a driver body 29, which is integrally formed on the actuating push rod 18 at the free, the piston 9 facing the end. The driver body 29 carries on both sides in the manner of wing stubs the two arranged at the same height first stops 19th

Mit dem Mitnehmerkörper 29 wirkt eine Auflauframpe 30 zusammen. Letztere ist in einem Zwischenboden der Kunststoff-Vorspannfeder 26 ausgeführt, die wiederum dort am Basisgehäuse 22 festgelegt ist. Die Auflauframpe 30 ist also am Basisgehäuse 22 festgelegt.With the driver body 29, a ramp 30 cooperates. The latter is carried out in an intermediate bottom of the plastic biasing spring 26, which in turn is fixed there to the base housing 22. The ramp 30 is thus fixed to the base housing 22.

Die axial hintereinander äquidistant zueinander angeordneten zweiten Anschläge 20 sind nach Art von Sägezähnen ausgebildet. Die jeweils steilen, in der Praxis senkrecht ausgeführten Flanken dieser Sägezahn-Ausgestaltung stellen die zweiten Anschläge 20 dar. Zwischen diesen senkrechten Wandabschnitten verlaufen schräge Wandabschnitte 31. Die Neigung dieser schrägen Wandabschnitte 31 gegenüber einer Längsachse des Basisgehäuses 22 ist derart gering, dass die Flügelstummel des Mitnehmerkörpers 29 in zur Vorschubrichtung entgegengesetzter Richtung auf den schrägen Wandabschnitten 31 gleiten können, ohne dass hierbei die Kolben-Schubstange 11 relativ zum Basisgehäuse 22 axial verlagert wird.The axially behind each other equidistantly arranged second stops 20 are formed in the manner of sawteeth. The respective steep, in practice perpendicular flanks of this sawtooth configuration represent the second stops 20. Between these vertical wall sections extend inclined wall sections 31. The inclination of these inclined wall sections 31 relative to a longitudinal axis of the base housing 22 is so small that the wing stubs of Mitnehmerkörpers 29 can slide in the opposite direction to the feed direction on the inclined wall portions 31, without in this case the piston push rod 11 is displaced axially relative to the base housing 22.

Bei einer Betätigung des Bedienknopfes 24, also bei einem Einschieben von diesem in das Basisgehäuse 22, wird durch den Eingriff des ersten Anschlags 19 mit dem zweiten Momentananschlag 20 die Kolben-Schubstange 11 durch die Betätigungs-Schubstange 18 zunächst um einen Vorschubweg vorgeschoben, der mindestens so groß ist wie der axiale Abstand zwischen zwei zweiten Anschlägen 20. Nach diesem Vorschubweg ist der Mitnehmerkörper 29 so weit auf die Auflauframpe 30 aufgelaufen, dass der erste Anschlag 19 mit dem zweiten Momentananschlag 20 außer Eingriff kommt. Ein weiterer Vorschub der Kolben-Schubstange 11 findet daher, unabhängig davon, ob der Bedienknopf 24 noch weiter in das Basisgehäuse 22 eingedrückt wird, nicht mehr statt. Beim Loslassen des Bedienknopfes 24 wird letzterer aufgrund der Vorspannung der Kunststoff-Vorspannfeder 26 wieder in die in der Fig. 4 dargestellte Ruhestellung zurückgeschoben, bis der Umfangsbund 21 am Stopfen 25 anliegt. Bei diesem Zurückschieben gleitet der Mitnehmerkörper 29 auf den schrägen Wandabschnitten 31 der Kolben-Schubstange 11. Die Kolben-Schubstange 11 wird hierbei relativ zum Basisgehäuse 22 axial nicht verlagert, sodass in der Ruhestellung des Bedienknopfes 24 der erste Anschlag 19 nunmehr mit dem zweiten Ziel-Anschlag 20 in Eingriff kommen kann, der dem vorherigen zweiten Momentananschlag 20 axial, und zwar in der Fig. 4 axial rechts, benachbart ist. Das Basis-Stiftmodul 3 hat also eine Druckmechanik mit einer inkrementalen Schubwirkung für den Kolben 9 ähnlich der Mechanik eines Druck-Bleistifts. Bei einem Druck auf den Bedienknopf 24 wird damit ein dem Abstand zweier benachbarter zweiter Anschläge 20 entsprechender inkrementaler Vorschub des Kolbens 9 im Vorratsbehälter 6 herbeigeführt.Upon actuation of the control knob 24, so with an insertion of this into the base housing 22, the piston push rod 11 is first advanced by the actuation push rod 18 by a feed path by the engagement of the first stop 19 with the second instantaneous stop 20, the at least is as large as the axial distance between two second stops 20. After this feed path is the Driver body 29 so far accumulated on the ramp 30, that the first stop 19 with the second instantaneous stop 20 is disengaged. Another feed of the piston push rod 11 is therefore no longer independent of whether the control knob 24 is pushed further into the base housing 22. When you release the control knob 24, the latter is due to the bias of the plastic biasing spring 26 back into the in the Fig. 4 shown rest position pushed back until the circumferential collar 21 abuts the plug 25. During this pushing back, the driver body 29 slides on the inclined wall sections 31 of the piston push rod 11. The piston push rod 11 is not axially displaced relative to the base housing 22 so that in the inoperative position of the control knob 24 the first stop 19 now bears against the second target. Stop 20 can come into engagement with the previous second instantaneous stop 20 axially, in the Fig. 4 axially right, adjacent. The base pin module 3 thus has a pressure mechanism with an incremental thrust action for the piston 9 similar to the mechanics of a pressure pencil. At a pressure on the control knob 24 so that the distance between two adjacent second stops 20 corresponding incremental feed of the piston 9 in the reservoir 6 is brought about.

Fig. 5 und 6 zeigen das Basis-Stiftmodul 4 mit einer Drehmechanik zum Vorschub des Kolbens 9. Fig. 5 zeigt dabei den gesamten Kosmetikstift 2 mit dem Basis-Stiftmodul 4, wobei letzteres durch die Austauscheinheit 1 zum gesamten Kosmetikstift 2 ergänzt ist. Komponenten, die denjenigen entsprechen, die vorstehend schon unter Bezugnahme auf die Fig. 1 bis 4 erläutert wurden, tragen die gleichen Bezugsziffern und werden nicht nochmals im Einzelnen diskutiert. FIGS. 5 and 6 show the base pin module 4 with a rotary mechanism for advancing the piston. 9 Fig. 5 shows the entire cosmetic pencil 2 with the base pen module 4, the latter being supplemented by the exchange unit 1 to the entire cosmetic pencil 2. Components which correspond to those described above with reference to the Fig. 1 to 4 have the same reference numbers and will not be discussed again in detail.

Das Basis-Stiftmodul 4 des Kosmetikstifts 2 nach den Fig. 5 und 6 hat eine Vorschubeinrichtung 32 mit einem Betätigungsrad 33. Letzteres ragt mit einem Umfangsabschnitt aus einem Basisgehäuse 34 des Basis-Stiftmoduls 4 heraus. An Achsstummeln 35, die beiderseits aus dem Betätigungsrad 33 herausgeführt sind, sind jeweils Zahnräder 36 am Betätigungsrad 33 angeformt. Die Zahnräder 36 kämmen mit zwei parallel zueinander laufenden Zahnstangenabschnitten 37 einer Kolben-Schubstange 38 des Basis-Stiftmoduls 4. Das der Austauscheinheit 1 zugewandte Ende der Zahnstangenabschnitte 37 ist das freie Ende 13 (vgl. Fig. 1).The base pin module 4 of the cosmetic pencil 2 according to FIGS. 5 and 6 has a feed device 32 with an operating wheel 33. The latter protrudes with a peripheral portion of a base housing 34 of the base pin module 4 out. To stub axles 35, which are led out on both sides of the operating wheel 33, gears 36 are formed on the actuating wheel 33 respectively. The gears 36 mesh with two parallel rack sections 37 of a piston push rod 38 of the base pin module 4. The exchange unit 1 facing the end of the rack sections 37 is the free end 13 (see. Fig. 1 ).

Die Achsstummel 35 des Betätigungsrads 33 sind in Rastaufnahmen eines Blenden-Gehäuseabschnitts 39 eingerastet. Der Blenden-Gehäuseabschnitt 39, der das Betätigungsrad 33 umgibt, ist wiederum in eine Aufnahme des Basisgehäuses 34 eingerastet.The axle stub 35 of the actuating wheel 33 are engaged in latching receptacles of a diaphragm housing section 39. The diaphragm housing section 39, which surrounds the actuating wheel 33, is in turn latched into a receptacle of the base housing 34.

Durch Drehen des Betätigungsrades 33 wird die Kolben-Schubstange 38 und mit ihr der mit dieser in Schubverbindung stehende Kolben 9 ausgeschoben. Eine Drehung des Betätigungsrades 33 führt zu einem kontinuierlichen Vorschub des Kolbens 9 im Vorratsbehälter 6.By turning the actuating wheel 33, the piston push rod 38 and with it the piston 9 in thrust connection with this is pushed out. A rotation of the actuating wheel 33 leads to a continuous feed of the piston 9 in the reservoir. 6

Der Stopfen 25 hat bei der Ausführung nach den Fig. 5 und 6 keine Durchtrittsöffnung, da diese Ausführung keinen durchtretenden Bedienknopf hat.The plug 25 has in the execution of the FIGS. 5 and 6 no passage opening, as this version has no penetrating control knob.

Alternativ kann das Betätigungsrad 33 auch als Doppelrad ausgeführt sein und zwischen den beiden axial voneinander beabstandeten, drehfest miteinander verbundenen Radabschnitten des Doppelrades ein einziges Zahnrad aufweisen, welches mit einem einzigen Zahnstangenabschnitt 37 einer entsprechenden Kolben-Schubstange zusammenwirkt. Ein vergleichbares Betätigungs-Doppelrad mit zwei Radabschnitten ist bekannt aus der EP 0 714 638 B1 und wird dort für ein Applikationsgerät für Dentalmasse eingesetzt.Alternatively, the actuating wheel 33 may also be designed as a double wheel and between the two axially spaced, non-rotatably connected wheel sections of the double wheel have a single gear, which cooperates with a single rack portion 37 of a corresponding piston push rod. A comparable actuating double wheel with two wheel sections is known from the EP 0 714 638 B1 and is used there for an application device for dental material.

Eine weitere Drehmechanik, die innerhalb einer weiteren Ausführung eines Basis-Stiftmoduls eingesetzt werden kann, ist beispielsweise beschrieben in der DE 203 02 008 U1 . Ein Unterschied liegt dann insoweit vor, als die Kolbenschubstange nicht wie bei der DE 203 02 008 U1 fest mit dem Kolben verbunden ist, sondern über eine Verbindung mit Sackausnehmung entsprechend der, die vorstehend im Zusammenhang mit der Fig. 1 beschrieben wurde.Another rotary mechanism that can be used within another embodiment of a base pin module, for example, is described in the DE 203 02 008 U1 , A difference is then in so far as the piston push rod not as in the DE 203 02 008 U1 is firmly connected to the piston, but via a connection with blind recess according to the above in connection with the Fig. 1 has been described.
