Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf eine Kosmetikverpackung mit einem Behälter und einer Kappe, insbesondere für flüssige Farbenkosmetika wie Mascara und Lipgloss, wobei in die Kappe unsichtbar eine Diebstahlsicherungseinheit integriert ist. Eine solche Einheit ist bekannt aus DE 196 53 931 A1 .The invention is directed to a cosmetic packaging with a container and a cap, in particular for liquid color cosmetics such as mascara and lip gloss, wherein in the cap invisibly an anti-theft unit is integrated. Such a unit is known from DE 196 53 931 A1 ,

Kosmetikverpackungen einschließlich der darin enthaltenen Kosmetika, insbesondere sogenannte Mascara-Einheiten, zählen zu den am häufigsten gestohlenen Gütern, was durch deren oftmals hohen Preis und deren handliche Größe bedingt ist. Da solche Kosmetikverpackungen durch ihre Formgebung, Farbgestaltung und Oberflächeneigenschaften die Verbraucherin ansprechen sollen, wenn sie von ihr probeweise in die Hand genommen und begutachtet werden, ist es üblich, derartige Produkte ohne Umverpackung bzw. Blisterverpackung anzubieten, so dass die im Verpackungsbereich bekannten Diebstahlsicherungseinheiten in der herkömmlichen Weise nicht eingesetzt werden können.Cosmetic packaging including the cosmetics contained therein, in particular so-called mascara units, are among the most stolen goods, which is due to their often high price and their handy size. Since such cosmetic packaging should appeal to the consumer through its shape, color design and surface properties, when they are taken by hand in their hands and examined, it is customary to offer such products without packaging or blister packaging, so that the known in the packaging area anti-theft units in the conventional manner can not be used.

Als solche Diebstahlssicherungseinheiten sind insbesondere die elektronischen Warensicherungsetiketten von elektronischen Artikelsicherungssystemen (EAS) bekannt, welche beim Annähern der gesicherten Ware an eine Antenne, z. B. im Ausgangsbereich einer Kasse, einen Alarm auslösen. Solche Warensicherungsetiketten sind in der Regel vom Kassenpersonal aktivierbar und deaktivierbar. Bekannt sind auch Warensicherungssysteme basierend auf einem Hochfrequenz-Schwingkreis oder alternativ elektromagnetische und akustomagnetische Systeme mit Mikrochip (RFID).As such anti-theft units, in particular the electronic article surveillance labels of electronic article surveillance systems (EAS) are known, which in approaching the secured goods to an antenna, for. B. in the output area of a cashier, trigger an alarm. Such goods security labels can usually be activated and deactivated by the cashier. Also known are anti-theft systems based on a high-frequency resonant circuit or alternatively electromagnetic and acoustomagnetic systems with microchip (RFID).

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Kosmetikverpackung der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, dass eine an sich bekannte Warensicherung ohne Beeinträchtigung der Präsentation und des Kaufanreizes und ohne Manipulationsmöglichkeit durch den Verbraucher vor dem Kassenbereich möglich ist.On this basis, the invention has the object, a cosmetic packaging of the type mentioned in such a way that a known per se securing goods without affecting the presentation and the Kaufanreizes and without manipulation by the consumer in front of the cashier area is possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfmdungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass in der Kappe zur Aufnahme der Diebstahlsicherungseinheit längs verlaufende Stege vorgesehen sind, die eine Einschubfiihrung und Lagerung für eine Diebstahlsicherungseinheit bilden.This object is achieved according to the invention in that in the cap for receiving the anti-theft unit longitudinally extending webs are provided, which form a Einschubfiihrung and storage for an anti-theft unit.

Dadurch, dass die Diebstahlsicherungseinheit nicht in einer Umverpackung, sondern in der ein Teil des Produkts darstellenden Kosmetikverpackung angeordnet ist, muss das Erscheinungsbild gegenüber dem der Verbraucherin vertrauten Optik nicht geändert werden und gleichzeitig wird die Diebstahlsicherungseinheit fest mit dem Produkt verbunden.The fact that the anti-theft device is not arranged in an outer package, but in the packaging of cosmetics representing a part of the product, the appearance must not be changed compared to the consumer's familiar look and at the same time the anti-theft unit is firmly connected to the product.

Insbesondere kann die Diebstahlsicherungseinheit 8 in der Kappe 3 in Verlängerung des Stiels 5 angeordnet sein.In particular, the anti-theft unit 8 may be arranged in the cap 3 in extension of the stem 5.

Vorteilhafter kann weiterhin vorgesehen sein, dass die Diebstahlsicherungseinheit in einem Hohlraum der Kappe in Verlängerung des Stiels angeordnet ist.Advantageously, it can further be provided that the anti-theft unit is arranged in a cavity of the cap in extension of the stem.

Die Kappe kann einen Einsatz aufweisen, der in das Innere der Kappe einsteckbar ist, wobei die Diebstahlsicherungseinheit an diesem Ansatz angeordnet ist.The cap may include an insert which is insertable into the interior of the cap, wherein the anti-theft unit is arranged on this approach.

Mit Vorteil können zwei einander 180 ° gegenüber liegende Nuten, die durch Stege begrenzt sind, an einem inneren Hohlraum des Einsatzes ausgebildet sein und die Diebstahlsicherungseinheit in die Nuten formschlüssig eingeschoben sein.Advantageously, two mutually 180 ° opposite grooves which are bounded by webs, formed on an inner cavity of the insert be and the anti-theft device be inserted positively into the grooves.

Eine axiale Fixierung der Diebstahlsicherungseinheit kann durch die Innenseite des Bodens der Verschlusskappe bewerkstelligt werden.An axial fixation of the anti-theft unit can be accomplished by the inside of the bottom of the cap.

Der Einsatz kann wenigstens einen sich radial wegerstreckenden Steg aufweisen, der in eine korrespondierende Nut an der Innenseite der Verschlusskappe zur Erzielung einer Drehsicherung einschiebbar ist.The insert may have at least one web extending radially away, which can be inserted into a corresponding groove on the inside of the closure cap to achieve a rotational security.

Der Stiel 5 mit dem Applikator ist günstigerweise am Boden des Einsatzes befestigt.The handle 5 with the applicator is conveniently attached to the bottom of the insert.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Dabei zeigen:

Fig. 1
eine geschlossene erfindungsgemäße Kosmetikeinheit und
Fig. 2
eine perspektivische Ansicht der Verschlusskappe einer erfindungsgemäßen Kosmetikeinheit mit herausgezogener Diebstahlsicherungseinheit.

Eine in der Zeichnung dargestellte erfindungsgemäße Kosmetikeinheit 1 umfasst einen Behälter 2 zur Aufnahme eines Kosmetikums und eine Verschlusskappe 3, an der in an sich bekannter Weise ein Applikator 4 mit einem Stiel 5 angeordnet ist.A cosmetic unit 1 according to the invention shown in the drawing comprises a container 2 for receiving a cosmetic and a closure cap 3 on which an applicator 4 with a handle 5 is arranged in a manner known per se.

Der Stiel 5 ist jedoch nicht wie herkömmlicherweise unmittelbar mit dem Boden der Verschlusskappe verbunden, sondern mit einem Einsatz 6, der formschlüssig in das Innere der Verschlusskappe eingesteckt werden kann. Zur rotationssicheren Festlegung dient dabei ein radial wegstehender Steg 7, der in eine korrespondierende, in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellte Nut an der Verschlusskappe 3 einschiebbar ist.However, the stem 5 is not connected as conventionally directly to the bottom of the closure cap, but with an insert 6, which can be positively inserted into the interior of the closure cap. For rotationally fixed definition serves a radially wegstehender web 7, which is inserted into a corresponding, not shown in the drawing groove on the cap 3.

Eine Diebstahlsicherungseinheit 8 ist in einen inneren Hohlraum 9 des Einsatzes 6 einschiebbar, wobei hierzu sich um 180 ° gegenüber liegende Nuten 10 dienen, die durch Stege 11 begrenzt sind. Die Diebstahlsicherungseinheit 8 kann in diese sich gegenüber liegenden Nuten 10 formschlüssig eingeschoben werden und in ihrer Länge so ausgelegt sein, dass sie durch die Innenseite des Bodens 12 der Verschlusskappe 3, wenn der Einsatz 6 in die Verschlusskappe 3 eingesetzt wird, axial festgelegt ist.An anti-theft unit 8 can be inserted into an inner cavity 9 of the insert 6, for which purpose grooves 180 are provided which are opposite to one another and are bounded by webs 11. The anti-theft device 8 can be inserted positively into these opposing grooves 10 and be designed in its length so that it is axially fixed by the inside of the bottom 12 of the cap 3 when the insert 6 is inserted into the cap 3.
