Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Mascara-Applikator mit einem Griffteil, das über ein erstes Tragteil eine-erste Bürste und über ein zweites Tragteil eine zweite Bürste trägt, wobei jeder Bürste ein eigener Vorrat an Mascara zugeordnet ist, und wobei die erste Bürste eine drahtgebundene Bürste mit zwischen verdrillten Drähten gehaltenen Filamenten ist.The invention relates to a mascara applicator with a handle part, which carries a first support member via a first brush and a second support member, a second brush, each brush is assigned its own supply of mascara, and wherein the first brush with a wire brush is between filaments held by twisted wires.

Zur Aufbringung von Wimperntusche, sogenannter Mascara, auf die Wimpern eines Menschen ist ein Mascara-Applikator bekannt, der einen Vorratsbehälter, in dem sich die Mascara befindet, und eine mit einem Griff teil versehene Bürste aufweist. Die Bürste ist üblicherweise als sogenannte drahtgebundene Bürste ausgebildet, d.h. zwischen zwei dünnen, parallel verlaufenden Metalldrähten werden eine Vielzahl von üblicherweise aus Kunststoff bestehenden Filamentsegmenten angeordnet, die sich im wesentlichen senkrecht zur Längsrichtung der Drähte erstrecken. Anschließend werden die Drähte verdrillt, so dass die Filamentsegmente zwischen den Drähten eingeklemmt und gehalten werden und gleichzeitig in Umfangsrichtung verteilt werden, so dass sich ein Borstenfeld ergibt, bei dem jedes Filamentsegment zwei Borsten bildet und die Borsten unregelmäßig über den Umfang verteilt sind und die verdrillten Drähte den stabförmigen Kern der Bürste bilden. Bei Gebrauch des Mascara-Applikators ergreift der Benutzer das Griffteil und taucht die Bürste in die im Vorratsbehälter befindliche Mascara ein, wobei diese an und zwischen den einzelnen Borsten der Bürste hängen bleibt. Beim Herausziehen der Bürste aus dem Vorratsbehälter wird übermäßige Mascara abgestreift und die Bürste wird anschließend an.die Wimpern gebracht und in kämmender Bewegung in Längsrichtung der Wimpern bewegt, wodurch die Mascara auf die Wimpern übertragen wird.For applying mascara, so-called mascara, on the eyelashes of a human, a mascara applicator is known, which has a reservoir in which the mascara is located, and provided with a handle part brush. The brush is usually formed as a so-called wired brush, ie between two thin, parallel metal wires a plurality of usually made of plastic filament segments are arranged, which extend substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the wires. Subsequently, the wires are twisted so that the filament segments are clamped and held between the wires and at the same time distributed in the circumferential direction, thus resulting in a bristle field in which each filament segment forms two bristles and the bristles are distributed irregularly around the circumference and the twisted Wires the rod-shaped Forming the core of the brush. In use of the mascara applicator, the user grasps the grip portion and dips the brush into the mascara present in the reservoir, which hangs on and between the individual bristles of the brush. As the brush is withdrawn from the reservoir, excessive mascara is scraped off and the brush is then applied to the eyelashes and moved in combing motion along the length of the eyelashes, thereby transferring the mascara to the eyelashes.

Es ist bekannt, dass es für das ordnungsgemäße Aufbringen der Mascara wesentlich ist, die Wimpern beim Auftragen mittels der Bürste zu vereinzelnen, um jede Wimper über ihren gesamten Umfang mit dem Mascara versehen zu können. Diese Vereinzelung der Wimpern ist mit einer drahtgebundenen Bürste nicht oder nur im Ausnahmefall zu erzielen, da eine drahtgebundenen Bürste aufgrund der ungleichmäßig über den Umfang verteilten Borsten keine genau definierte Kämmwirkung mit sich bringt. Jedoch läßt sich mit einer drahtgebundenen Bürste eine relativ große Menge an Mascara aus dem Vorratsbehälter aufnehmen und auf die Wimpern aufbringen, so dass den Wimpern ein sogenanntes großes Volumen gegeben werden kann.It is known that it is essential for the proper application of the mascara, to separate the eyelashes when applied by means of the brush in order to provide each eyelash over its entire circumference with the mascara. This separation of the eyelashes can not be achieved with a wire brush or only in exceptional cases, since a wire brush does not provide a well-defined combing effect due to the bristles distributed unevenly around the circumference. However, with a wire brush, a relatively large amount of mascara can be picked up from the reservoir and applied to the eyelashes, so that a so-called large volume can be given to the eyelashes.

Ein weiteres Problem im Zusammenhang mit der Erzielung eines gleichmäßigen Auftragens der Mascara besteht darin, dass die Menschen unterschiedliche Wimpernformen, Wimpernlängen und Wimperndicken besitzen, und dass auch die Konsistenz und die rheologischen Eigenschaften der Mascara wesentlichen Binfluss auf das Ergebnis der Anwendung des Mascara-Applikators haben.Another problem associated with achieving uniform application of the mascara is that people have different eyelash shapes, eyelash lengths and eyelash thicknesses, and that also the consistency and rheological properties of the mascara have significant impact on the result of using the mascara applicator ,

Es ist ein Mascara-Applikator bekannt, der zwei drahtgebundene Bürsten unterschiedlicher Abmessungen aufweist, um dem Benutzer die Möglichkeit zu geben, für das Auftragen der Mascara diejenige Bürste auszuwählen, die den persönlichen Bedürfnissen und Rahmenbedingungen am besten entspricht.There is known a mascara applicator having two wired brushes of different dimensions to give the user the opportunity to choose for the application of the mascara that brush that best suits the personal needs and conditions.

Mit einem derartigen Mascara-Applikator wird jedoch nicht das Problem der ungenügenden Kämmwirkung gelöst, die bei drahtgebundenen Bürsten gegeben ist.With such a mascara applicator, however, the problem of insufficient combing action, which is the case with wire brushes, is not solved.

Alternativ zu einer drahtgebundenen Bürste sind auch im Kunststoff-Spritzgußverfahren hergestellte Bürsten bekannt ( DE 101 02 219 A1 ), die radial hervorstehende Finger aus einem weich-elastischen Kunststoff, insbesondere einem Elastomer, aufweisen, wobei die Finger in einer vorbestimmten Anordnung auf der Außenseite eines üblicherweise stabförmigen Trägers angeordnet sind. Die Abmessungen der einzelnen Finger sowie deren gegenseitige Anordnung können so festgelegt werden, dass sich eine gute Dämmwirkung und Vereinzelung der Wimpern beim Auftrag der Mascara ergibt. Die Herstellung im Spritzgußverfahren stellt darüber hinaus sicher, dass die gewünschte Geometrie mit hoher Genauigkeit erreicht wird. Jedoch ist mit einer spitzgegossenen Bürste der Nachteil verbunden, dass nur eine relativ geringe Menge an Mascara aus dem Vorratsbehälter aufgenommen und auf die Wimpern übertragen werden kann.As an alternative to a wired brush, brushes produced using the plastic injection molding process are also known (US Pat. DE 101 02 219 A1 ), the radially protruding fingers made of a soft-elastic plastic, in particular an elastomer, having the fingers are arranged in a predetermined arrangement on the outside of a usually rod-shaped carrier. The dimensions of the individual fingers and their mutual arrangement can be set so that there is a good insulating effect and separation of the eyelashes when applying the mascara. The production by injection molding also ensures that the desired geometry is achieved with high accuracy. However, the disadvantage associated with an injection-molded brush is that only a relatively small amount of mascara can be taken up from the storage container and transferred to the eyelashes.

Aus der Patentanmeldung US 2006/0093425 A1 ist ein Mascara - Applikator bekannt, der die Kombination einer drahtgebundenen Bürste und eines Kanms bzw. einer anderweitigen Bürste aufweist.From the patent application US 2006/0093425 A1 For example, a mascara applicator is known that has the combination of a wired brush and a canister or other brush.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Mascara-Applikator der genannten Art zu schaffen, mit dem eine gute Kämmwirkung der Wimpern erreicht und eine relativ große Menge an Mascara auf die Wimpern übertragen werden kann.The invention has for its object to provide a mascara applicator of the type mentioned, with which a good combing effect of the eyelashes achieved and a relatively large amount of mascara can be transferred to the eyelashes.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Mascara-Applikator mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass die zweite Bürste, die zusätzlich zu der ersten drahtgebundenen Bürste vorgesehen ist, eine spritzgegossene Bürste mit aus einem weich-elastischen Kunststoff und insbesondere aus einem Elastomer bestehenden Fingern ist. Durch die Kombination einer spritzgegossenen Bürste und einer drahtgebundenen Bürste in einem einzigen Mascara-Applikator ist es möglich, dass der Benutzer des Mascara-Applikators durch Anwendung der drahtgebundenen ersten Bürste einen guten Übertrag der Mascara auf die Wimpern erreichen kann, wodurch das optische Erscheinungsbild der Wimpern voluminöser wird, und/oder durch Anwendung der spritzgegossenen zweiten Bürste eine gute Dämmwirkung der Wimpern und dadurch deren Vereinzelung bewirkt.This object is achieved by a mascara applicator with the features of claim 1. It is provided that the second brush, which is provided in addition to the first wired brush, an injection molded brush with fingers made of a soft-elastic plastic and in particular of an elastomer. By combining an injection molded brush and a wire brush in a single mascara applicator, it is possible for the user of the mascara applicator to transfer the mascara to the eyelashes by using the wired first brush can achieve, whereby the visual appearance of the eyelashes becomes voluminous, and / or by applying the injection-molded second brush a good insulating effect of the eyelashes and thereby causes their isolation.

Der drahtgebundenen ersten Bürste ist ein erster Vorratsbehälter für eine erste Mascara zugeordnet, die in ihren rheologischen und/oder chemischen Eigenschaften auf die Anwendung durch eine drahtgebundene Bürste abgestimmt ist. Der spritzgegossenen zweiten Bürste ist ein zweiter Vorratsbehälter zugeordnet, in dem sich eine zweite Mascara befindet, die in ihren rheologischen und/oder chemischen Eigenschaften auf die Verwendung bei einer spritzgegossenen Bürste abgestimmt ist. Die erste Mascara und die zweite Mascara unterscheiden sich in ihren rheologischen oder in ihren rheologischen und chemischen EigenschaftenThe wired first brush is associated with a first reservoir for a first mascara, which is adapted in its rheological and / or chemical properties to the application by a wire brush. The injection-molded second brush is associated with a second reservoir, in which there is a second mascara, which is tuned in its rheological and / or chemical properties for use in an injection-molded brush. The first mascara and the second mascara differ in their rheological or in their rheological and chemical properties

Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass die erste Mascara für die drahtgebundene erste Bürste eine höhere Viskosität V1 besitzt und damit steifer ist als die zweite Mascara für die zweite spritzgegossene Bürste, die eine Viskosität V2 besitzt. Das Verhältnis V1/V2 der Viskosität kann in einem Bereich von 1,05 bis 1,50 und insbesondere in einem Bereich von 1,15 bis 1,25 liegen.It is provided that the first mascara for the wired first brush has a higher viscosity V 1 and thus is stiffer than the second mascara for the second injection-molded brush, which has a viscosity V 2 . The viscosity V 1 / V 2 ratio may range from 1.05 to 1.50, and more preferably from 1.15 to 1.25.

Die spritzgegossene zweite Bürste kann auf unterschiedliche Weise hergestellt sein und verschiedene konstruktive Aufbauten auf weisen, In einer möglichen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die spritzgegossene zweite Bürste einen aussteifenden Kunststoffkern besitzt, der auf seiner Außenseite die Finger trägt, wobei vorzugsweise der aussteifende Kunetstoffkern, der aus einem harten, stabilen Kunststoffmaterial besteht, außenseitig mit einem Mantel aus einem weich elastischen Kunststoff versehen ist, auf dessen Außenseite die Finger angeformt sind.In one possible embodiment of the invention it is provided that the injection-molded second brush has a stiffening plastic core which carries the fingers on its outer side, wherein preferably the stiffening Kunetstoffkern, which is made of a hard, stable plastic material, on the outside with a jacket made of a soft elastic plastic, on the outside of the fingers are formed.

Dabei ist es möglich, den Kunststoffkern zumindest abschnittsweise als Hohlkörper auszubilden und mit einem vorgegebenen Muster an Durchbrechungen und Löchern zu versehen, wobei die Finger bzw. deren weich elastisches Kunststoffmaterial bei der Herstellung der Bürste durch den Innenraum des hohlen Kunststoffkerns zugeführt wird und an den Löchern oder Durchbrechungen austritt und die Finger bildet, so dass sich die Finger an ihrem dem Kunststoffkern zugewandten Ende bis in den Innenraum des Kunststoffkerns erstrecken und dessen Wandung durchdringen.It is possible, at least in sections form the plastic core as a hollow body and provided with a predetermined pattern of openings and holes, the fingers or their soft elastic plastic material is supplied in the manufacture of the brush through the interior of the hollow plastic core and at the holes or perforations emerges and forms the fingers, so that the fingers extend at their end facing the plastic core into the interior of the plastic core and penetrate the wall thereof.

In handhabungstechnischer Hinsicht hat es sich als sinnvoll erwiesen, wenn das erste Trägerteil und das zweite Trägerteil jeweils stabartig ausgebildet sind und auf entgegenge setzten Seiten von dem Griffteil auskragen. Jedes Tragteil trägt an seinem dem Griffteil abgewandten Ende die jeweilige Bürste.In terms of handling technology, it has proven to be useful if the first support member and the second support member are each formed rod-like and project on entgegenge translated pages of the handle. Each support member carries at its end facing away from the handle part of the respective brush.

Das zwischen den Bürsten angeordnete Griffteil kann eine zylindrische äußere Form und insbesondere eine kreiszylindrische Form besitzen. Alternativ ist es jedoch auch möglich, dem Griffteil eine äußere Form nach Art eines Tonnenkörpers zu geben und/oder auf der Außenoberfläche des Griffteils eine Strukturierung oder zumindest abschnittsweise eine rutschhemmende Beschichtung aufzubringen.The arranged between the brush grip part may have a cylindrical outer shape and in particular a circular cylindrical shape. Alternatively, however, it is also possible to give the grip part an outer shape in the manner of a barrel body and / or to apply structuring or at least partially an antislip coating on the outer surface of the grip part.

in the lower half a side view of the closed mascara applicator and in the upper half a corresponding sectional view.

Ein in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellter Mascara-Applikator 10 besitzt ein aus einem zylindrischen Kunststoffkörper bestehendes Griff teil 11, aus dem ein stabförmiges erstes Tragteil 12, das einstückig mit dem Griffteil 11 verbunden ist, axial herausragt. Am vorderen, freien Ende des ersten Tragteils 12 ist eine erste Bürste 13 angeordnet, die als drahtgebundene Bürste ausgebildet ist und zwei dünne, miteinander verdrillte Metalldrähte 14 besitzt, die den stabförmigen Kern der ersten Bürste 13 bilden und zwischen denen eine Vielzahl von Filamentsegmenten 15 angeordnet und gehalten sind.One in the Figures 1 and 2 illustrated mascara applicator 10 has a consisting of a cylindrical plastic body handle part 11, from which a rod-shaped first support member 12 which is integrally connected to the handle member 11, protrudes axially. At the front, free end of the first support member 12, a first brush 13 is arranged, which is formed as a wire brush and two thin, twisted together metal wires 14 which form the rod-shaped core of the first brush 13 and arranged between which a plurality of filament segments 15 and are held.

Auf der dem ersten Tragteil 12 entgegengesetzten Seite des Griffteils 11 ragt ein stabförmiges zweites Tragteil 16, das ebenfalls einstückig mit dem Griffteil 11 ausgebildet ist, axial hervor und trägt an seinem vorderen freien Ende eine zweite Bürste 17, die als spritzgegossenen Bürste ausgebildet ist und eine Vielzahl von aus einem weich elastischen Kunststoff bestehende Finger 19 besitzt, die auf der Außenseite eines stabförmigen, sich axial erstreckenden Kunststoffkerns 18 angeordnet sind.On the first support part 12 opposite side of the handle portion 11 projects a rod-shaped second support member 16, which is also integrally formed with the handle member 11, axially and carries at its front free end a second brush 17, which is formed as an injection-molded brush and a Variety of soft elastic plastic existing fingers 19 has, which are arranged on the outside of a rod-shaped, axially extending plastic core 18.

Wie aus Figur 2 ersichtlich ist, ist der ersten Bürste 13 ein erster Vorratsbehälter 20 zugeordnet, in dessen Innenraum 21 eine erste Mascara enthalten ist. Die erste Bürste 13 kann in den Innenraum 21 des ersten Vorratsbehälters 20 eingeführt werden, wobei der erste Vorratsbehälter 20 mit dem Griff teil 11 verschraubt oder verrastet werden kann.How out FIG. 2 it can be seen, the first brush 13 is associated with a first reservoir 20, in the interior 21 of which a first mascara is included. The first brush 13 can be inserted into the interior 21 of the first reservoir 20, wherein the first reservoir 20 with the handle part 11 can be screwed or locked.

In gleichartiger Weise ist der zweiten Bürste 17 ein zweiter Vorratsbehälter 22 zugeordnet, in dessen Innenraum 23 sich eine zweite Mascara befindet. Auch der zweite Vorratsbehälter 22 kann in der Nicht-Gebrauchsstellung mit dem Griffteil 21 verschraubt oder verrastet werden.Similarly, the second brush 17 is associated with a second reservoir 22, in the interior 23 there is a second mascara. Also, the second reservoir 22 may be bolted or latched in the non-use position with the handle part 21.

Die erste Mascara und die zweite Mascara unterscheiden sich in ihren rheologischen oder in ihren rheologischen und chemischen Eigenschaften und sind jeweils an die Funktionalität der zugeordneten Bürste 13 bzw. 17 angepasst.The first mascara and the second mascara differ in their rheological or in their rheological and chemical properties and are each adapted to the functionality of the associated brush 13 and 17, respectively.

Wie Figur 2 zeigt, ist zwischen der Außenoberfläche des ersten Vorratsbehälters 20 und der Außenoberfläche des Griffteils 11 sowie zwischen dieser und der Außenoberfläche des zweiten Vorratsbehälters 22 jeweils ein glatter, stufenloser Übergang gebildet. Wenn ein Benutzer eine der beiden Mascaras auf die Augenwimpern auftragen möchte, zieht er die zugeordnete Bürste aus dem entsprechenden Vorratsbehälter heraus, wobei die Bürste beim Herausziehen in üblicher Weise abgestreift und von einer übermäßigen Menge an Mascara befreit wird. Der dabei nicht benötigte andere Vorratsbehälter bildet eine Verlängerung des Griffteils 11, so dass für den Benutzer ein relativ langgestreckter Griffkörper zur Verfügung steht, der aus dem Griffteil 11 und dem aufgesetzten Vorratsbehälter besteht und der dem Benutzer die Handhabung des Mascara-Applikators erleichtert.As FIG. 2 shows, between the outer surface of the first reservoir 20 and the outer surface of the handle member 11 and between this and the outer surface of the second reservoir 22 each have a smooth, stepless transition formed. When a user wishes to apply one of the two mascaras to the eyelashes, he pulls out the associated brush from the corresponding storage container, the brush is stripped in the usual manner upon removal and freed from an excessive amount of mascara. The case not required other reservoir forms an extension of the handle portion 11 so that the user is a relatively elongated handle body available, which consists of the handle portion 11 and the attached reservoir and the user facilitates the handling of the mascara applicator.
