Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf einen Applikator, insbesondere für Mascara, Haarfärbemittel oder ähnliche Kosmetika, umfassend einen länglichen, mit einem Stiel verbindbaren Grundkörper aus einem vergleichsweise harten Kunststoff und einen rohrförmigen Borstenkörper mit borstenartigen, radial wegstehenden Ansätzen aus einem relativ weichen Kunststoff. Ein derartiger Applikator ist bekannt aus EP 0 038 524 A1 bzw. DE 25 59 273 A1 .The invention is directed to an applicator, in particular for mascara, hair dye or similar cosmetics, comprising an elongated, connectable with a stem base body of a comparatively hard plastic and a tubular bristle body with bristle-like, radially projecting lugs of a relatively soft plastic. Such an applicator is known from EP 0 038 524 A1 respectively. DE 25 59 273 A1 ,

Der grundsätzliche Vorteil eines derartigen Applikators besteht darin, dass er kostengünstig herstellbar ist. Der relativ harte Kunststoff des Grundkörpers gibt die erforderliche Stabilität, wohingegen der weiche Kunststoff des Borstenkörpers die Ausbildung entsprechend weicher borstenartiger Ansätze ermöglicht.The fundamental advantage of such an applicator is that it can be produced inexpensively. The relatively hard plastic of the base body gives the required stability, whereas the soft plastic of the bristle body allows the formation of correspondingly soft bristle-like approaches.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen solchen Applikator so weiterzubilden, dass er bei vorteilhafter Herstellbarkeit stabile Gebrauchseigenschaften aufweist.The invention has the object of developing such an applicator so that it has stable operating characteristics with advantageous manufacturability.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist vorgesehen, dass der Borstenkörper gegenüber dem Grundkörper axial fixiert ist.To solve this problem, it is provided that the bristle body is axially fixed relative to the base body.

Durch eine solche axiale Fixierung wird erreicht, dass im Gebrauch, insbesondere auch beim Herausziehen und Hineinstecken des Applikators in einen Vorratsbehälter, z. B. bei einer Mascara-Einheit, beim Passieren einer Abstreifeinrichtung stabil bleibt.By such axial fixation is achieved that in use, especially when pulling out and inserting the applicator in a reservoir, z. B. in a mascara unit, when passing a stripping device remains stable.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Grundkörper einen Ringwulst aufweist, der in eine korrespondierende Ringnut des Borstenkörpers eingreift, wodurch die axiale Fixierung bewerkstelligt wird. Im Rahmen der Erfindung kann in Umkehrung dieser Lösung auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Ringnut am Grundkörper ausgebildet ist.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the base body has an annular bead which engages in a corresponding annular groove of the bristle body, whereby the axial fixation is accomplished. In the context of the invention can be provided in reversal of this solution, that the annular groove is formed on the base body.

Weiterhin kann mit Vorteil auf den Grundkörper am freien, distalen Ende eine den Borstenkörper übergreifende Fixierungskappe aufgesetzt werden.Furthermore, it can be placed with advantage on the body at the free, distal end of the bristle body cross-fixation cap.

Diese Fixierungskappe kann günstigerweise einen Stielansatz aufweisen, der in eine Ausnehmung des Grundkörpers eingreift, wobei der Stielansatz insbesondere einen Ringwulst aufweist, der in eine Ringnut in der Ausnehmung des Grundkörpers einrastbar ist.This fixing cap may conveniently have a stem approach, which engages in a recess of the body, wherein the stem approach in particular has an annular bead which can be latched into an annular groove in the recess of the body.

Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform ist das freie, distale Ende des Grundkörpers mit einer einstückig angespritzten, radial vorspringenden Fixierungskappe versehen, deren Außendurchmesser nach einer thermischen Verformung mit einem Stempel etwa dem Außendurchmesser des Borstenkörpers entspricht, und welche den Borstenkörper, der im 2-Komponenten-Spritzgießverfahren angespritzt oder übergeschoben sein kann, axial fixiert.In another embodiment, the free, distal end of the base body is provided with an integrally molded, radially projecting fixing cap whose outer diameter corresponds to a thermal deformation with a punch about the outer diameter of the bristle body, and which the bristle body, the two-component injection molding molded or pushed over, axially fixed.

Bei einer dritten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass der Borstenkörper im Bereich des freien distalen Endes eine Stirnwand aufweist, welche an der Stirnwand des Grundkörpers anliegt.In a third embodiment it is provided that the bristle body in the region of the free distal end of an end wall has, which rests against the end wall of the base body.

Ein in der Zeichnung dargestellter Applikator 1 umfasst einen Grundkörper 2 aus einem relativ harten Material und vergleichsweise harten Kunststoff und einen Borstenkörper 3 aus einem relativ weichen Kunststoff mit einer Mehrzahl angespritzter, sich radial nach außen erstreckender borstenartiger Ansätze 4. Der Grundkörper 2 ist mit einem Stielansatz 5 einstückig gespritzt, der mit einem Stiel verbindbar ist.An applicator 1 shown in the drawing comprises a base body 2 of a relatively hard material and comparatively hard plastic and a bristle body 3 of a relatively soft plastic with a plurality of molded, radially outwardly extending bristle-like projections 4. The main body 2 is integrally molded with a handle extension 5, which is connectable to a stem.

Der Stiel kann in an sich bekannter Weise mit der Innenseite des Deckels eine Schraubkappe verbunden sein, welche ihrerseits auf das Außengewinde eines Vorratsbehälters für das jeweilige Kosmetikum, z. B. Mascara, aufgeschraubt ist.The stem may be connected in a conventional manner with the inside of the lid a screw cap, which in turn on the external thread of a reservoir for the respective cosmetic, z. B. mascara, is screwed.

Zur axialen Fixierung des Borstenkörpers 3 relativ zum Grundkörper 2, insbesondere beim Passieren einer Abstreifeinrichtung, weist der Grundkörper 2 einen Ringwulst 6 auf, der in eine korrespondierende umlaufende Nut 7 an dem Borstenkörper 3 eingreift. Eine weitere Fixierung ist dadurch gegeben, dass am distalen Ende 8 des Grundkörpers 2 eine Fixierungskappe 9 vorgesehen ist, deren Außendurchmesser etwa dem Außendurchmesser des Borstenkörpers 3 entspricht.For axially fixing the bristle body 3 relative to the base body 2, in particular when passing a stripping device, the main body 2 has an annular bead 6, which engages in a corresponding circumferential groove 7 on the bristle body 3. Another fixation is given by the fact that at the distal end 8 of the base body 2, a fixing cap 9 is provided, whose outer diameter corresponds approximately to the outer diameter of the bristle body 3.

Bei der in Figur 2 dargestellten Ausführungsform, die im Wesentlichen ausgestellt ist wie die Ausführungsform nach Figur 1, ist statt der Fixierungskappe 9 eine einstückig mit dem Borstenkörper 3 gespritzte Stirnwand 10 vorgesehen, die der Stirnfläche 11 am distalen Ende 8 des Grundkörpers 2 anliegt.At the in FIG. 2 illustrated embodiment, which is substantially issued as the embodiment according to FIG. 1 , instead of the fixing cap 9, an end wall 10 injected integrally with the bristle body 3 is provided, which abuts the end face 11 at the distal end 8 of the main body 2.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach Figur 3 ist am distalen Ende 8 des Grundkörpers 2 wiederum eine Fixierungskappe 12 entsprechend der Fixierungskappe 9 nach dem Ausführungsbeispiel in Figur 1 vorgesehen, welche aber nicht einstückig mit dem Grundkörper 2 ausgebildet ist, sondern einen Stielansatz 13 aufweist, der in eine Ausnehmung 14 im Grundkörper 2 eingreift und dort mittels eines Ringwulstes 15 und einer korrespondierenden Ringnut 16 an der Innenwand der Ausnehmung 14 fixiert ist.In the embodiment according to FIG. 3 is at the distal end 8 of the main body 2 turn a fixing cap 12 corresponding to the fixing cap 9 according to the embodiment in FIG. 1 provided, which is not formed integrally with the base body 2, but has a handle extension 13 which engages in a recess 14 in the base body 2 and is fixed there by means of a torus 15 and a corresponding annular groove 16 on the inner wall of the recess 14.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach Figur 4 weist der Grundkörper 2 mehrere kragenartige Vorsprünge 17 auf, die eine kegelstumpfförmige Form derart besitzen, dass der Kegelstumpf sich zum freien Ende verjüngt. Wenn dementsprechend der Borstenkörper 3 auf den Grundkörper 2 montiert wird, wirken die Vorsprünge 17 wie Widerhaken und verhindern ein Lösen des Borstenkörpers 3.In the embodiment according to FIG. 4 For example, the base body 2 has a plurality of collar-like projections 17, which have a frusto-conical shape such that the truncated cone tapers to the free end. Accordingly, when the bristle body 3 is mounted on the main body 2, the protrusions 17 act like barbs and prevent the bristle body 3 from coming off.

Gemäß Figur 5 ist vorgesehen, dass der Grundkörper 2 so dimensioniert ist, dass ein freies äußeres Ende 18 den Borstenkörper 3 überragt. Durch Aufdrücken eines beheizten Stempels 19 in Richtung des Pfeils 20 wird dieses freie Ende 18 dann so deformiert, dass eine Fixierungskappe entsteht, wie sie in Figur 1 dargestellt ist.According to FIG. 5 it is provided that the base body 2 is dimensioned so that a free outer end 18 projects beyond the bristle body 3. By pressing a heated punch 19 in the direction of arrow 20, this free end 18 is then deformed so that a fixing cap is formed, as in FIG. 1 is shown.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach Figur 6 weist der Borstenkörper 3 ein zangenartiges inneres Ende 21 auf. Ein Stielansatz 22 ist mit einer konischen Ausnehmung 23 versehen. Beim Aufschieben des Stilansatzes 22 übergreift die konische Öffnung 23 den ebenfalls konischen Bereich 24 des Zangenansatzes 21, sodass endseitige Zangenarme 25 in eine Bohrung 26 des Grundkörpers 2 gedrückt werden und hierdurch eine stabile Verbindung geschaffen wird.In the embodiment according to FIG. 6 the bristle body 3 has a forceps-like inner end 21. A stem attachment 22 is provided with a conical recess 23. When sliding the style attachment 22, the conical opening 23 engages over the likewise conical region 24 of the pliers approach 21, so that end-side gun arms 25 are pressed into a bore 26 of the base body 2 and thereby a stable connection is created.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach Figur 7 weist der Grundkörper 2 eine längsverlaufende Nut 27 auf, die in eine radiale Bohrung 28 mündet. Über die Nut 27 kann Klebstoff eingepresst werden, der über die Radialbohrung 28 austritt und den Borstenkörper 3 mit dem Grundkörper 2 zuverlässig verbindet.In the embodiment according to FIG. 7 The base body 2 has a longitudinal groove 27 which opens into a radial bore 28. Adhesive can be pressed in via the groove 27, which exits via the radial bore 28 and reliably connects the bristle body 3 to the base body 2.

In Figur 8 ist eine Ausführungsform dargestellt, bei welcher der Grundkörper 2 einstückig mit einem Stielansatz 22 ausgebildet ist, der entsprechend Figur 6 eine konische Ausnehmung 23 aufweist, die als Ringspalt ausgebildet ist, in welche das ebenfalls konische Ende 29 des Borstenkörpers eingreift und über einen radialen Bolzen 30 festgelegt ist. Das innere Ende 31 des Borstenkörpers 3 geht konisch-fluchtend in den Stielansatz 22 über.In FIG. 8 an embodiment is shown in which the base body 2 is integrally formed with a handle neck 22, the corresponding FIG. 6 a conical recess 23 which is formed as an annular gap, in which engages the also conical end 29 of the bristle body and is fixed by a radial pin 30. The inner end 31 of the bristle body 3 merges into the stem neck 22 in a conically aligned manner.

Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird erreicht, dass beim Abstreifvorgang ein Verhaken des Abstreifers am Übergangsbereich vermieden wird. Es wird erreicht, dass der biegeschlaffe Borstenkörper 3 nicht von dem steifen Grundkörper 2 abgezogen wird.By this configuration it is achieved that during stripping a snagging of the scraper is avoided at the transition region. It is achieved that the pliable bristle body 3 is not removed from the rigid base body 2.

Wie insbesondere aus Figur 4 erkennbar, kann die Ausnehmung in dem Montageansatz 22 relativ zu dem Stielansatz des Grundkörpers 2 so dimensioniert sein, dass ein Ringspalt entsteht, in welchem ein Ansatz des Borstenkörpers 3 aufgenommen wird.As in particular from FIG. 4 Recognizable, the recess may be dimensioned in the mounting projection 22 relative to the stem extension of the base body 2 so that an annular gap is formed, in which a projection of the bristle body 3 is received.

Der Borstenkörper 2 kann weiterhin zwei Ansätze besitzen, die im Abstand voneinander verlaufen und endseitig nach innen vorspringende Zapfen aufweisen. Wird dann der Stielansatz 22 aufgeschoben, werden die Ansätze zangenartig durch die Innenwand der konischen Ausnehmung 23 des Stielansatzes 22 nach innen gedrückt und greifen dann in korrespondierende Ausnehmungen des Grundkörpers 2 ein und werden hierdurch fixiert.The bristle body 2 may further comprise two lugs, which extend at a distance from each other and end inwardly projecting pins. If then the stem approach 22 is postponed, the approaches pliers are pressed by the inner wall of the conical recess 23 of the stem approach 22 inward and then engage in corresponding recesses of the body 2 and are thereby fixed.

Der Stielansatz 2 kann mehrkantig, z. B. fünfkantig ausgebildet sein, um auf diese Weise eine Verdrehsicherung zu erzielen.The stem approach 2 can be polygonal, z. B. five-edged to achieve in this way an anti-rotation.

Die Borsten sind, wie im Ausführungsbeispiel gezeichnet, vorzugsweise konisch, können aber auch rund sein und lediglich eine konische oder meißelförmige Spitze aufweisen. Der Querschnitt der Borsten kann rund sein oder auch von einer runden Geometrie abweichen. Die Borstenzahl kann zwischen 30 und 600 liegen. Die Borsten können in axialer Richtung einen Kamm bilden.The bristles are, as drawn in the embodiment, preferably conical, but may also be round and have only a conical or chisel-shaped tip. The cross section of the bristles may be round or even deviate from a round geometry. The number of bristles can be between 30 and 600. The bristles can form a comb in the axial direction.
