  • a generic cosmetic unit is made, for example US 6 682 242 B known.
  • a cosmetic unit which has a coupling mechanism on one longitudinal side of the container, by means of which it can be connected to a second similar cosmetic unit to a double cosmetic unit.
  • the basic advantage of two such combined units is that different formulations and applicators can be summarized and carried as a unit.
  • a fundamental disadvantage of known such units is that they are already offered and sold as a combination unit, so that the user does not have the opportunity to buy and combine the individual units and their contents according to their own taste and according to their own preferences , In addition, the problem arises that when premature consumption of the contents of a unit that can not be purchased in isolation.
  • the coupling device is formed by a separate part, which means an additional manufacturing and handling costs.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a cosmetic unit which can be individually and individually selected acquired and connected to a corresponding individually selected corresponding cosmetic unit.
  • the complete, two cosmetic units comprehensive packaging should be visually attractive both in the connected and in the decoupled state.
  • the preparation of the compound should be possible by the consumer himself in a simple manner and the compound should be protected against axial and torsion.
  • the cosmetic unit has a formed on the cap coupling device for connecting to a corresponding coupling device having second cosmetic unit.
  • the coupling device has a coupling recess extending perpendicularly to the central longitudinal axis of the cosmetic unit and a coupling projection.
  • An inner wall of the coupling recess spans a circumferential angle range of more than 180 ° relative to a direction of insertion oriented perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis and thus forms at least one undercut.
  • the coupling projection is designed to be complementary to the coupling recess, so that the coupling projection of a first cosmetic unit can be inserted by means of a sliding movement in the insertion direction of the cosmetic units to be connected into the coupling recess of the second cosmetic unit and positively latched there in the inserted state.
  • This embodiment avoids a separate coupling device in the form of a sleeve, is simple and by the consumer herself manageable, is stable in the coupled state and still easily solvable and has an attractive appearance both in the coupled and in the decoupled state.
  • the coupling recess and coupling projection are rounded or alternatively, that the coupling recess and coupling projection have flat, over edges into each other merging outer walls.
  • the coupling projection may be at least partially hollow, whereby the appearance can be advantageously shaped.
  • a further embodiment provides that the coupling device is arranged on a plug-in sleeve which can be plugged in via the closure cap.
  • the coupling device On the outside of the cap and on the inside of the socket longitudinal grooves can be formed for producing a rotationally secure connection and for axial fixing can be provided on the outside of the cap and on the inside of the socket locking projections or recesses.
  • the coupling device may in turn have on a outer surface of the coupling projection and on an inner surface of the coupling recess a latching projection or a latching recess, so that the coupled state is thereby fixed.
  • the coupling projection can protrude radially beyond the outer surface of the cosmetic unit, so that a central crowned section is formed by two interconnected coupling devices, which gives the combined cosmetic units an attractive appearance.
  • An in Fig. 1 to 4 illustrated cosmetic unit 1 comprises a container 2 and a cap 3, on the inside of a stem 4 is fixed with a arranged on the front, not shown in the drawing applicator 5 is attached.
  • the cosmetic unit 1 has a central longitudinal axis 17.
  • the container 2 has on its upper side a tapered neck 6 with an external thread 7, which corresponds with an internal thread 8 on the inner wall of the closure cap 3, so that the closure cap 3 can be screwed onto the container 2.
  • a coupling device 9 which is in particular integrally formed, is formed, which comprises a coupling recess 10 and a coupling projection 11.
  • the coupling recess 10 is formed approximately elliptical section in this embodiment and its inner wall 12 extends relative to a plug-in direction 17a oriented perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis 17 over a circumferential angle range of more than 180 °. Starting from a lateral surface 13 of the cosmetic unit 1, the coupling recess 10 extends substantially perpendicularly to the central longitudinal axis 17 and to the insertion direction 17a into the main body of the cosmetic unit 1, in particular its closure cap 3.
  • the inner wall 12 spans a circumferential angle range of more than 180 ° with respect to the insertion direction 17a, the inner wall forms at the in Fig. 1 to 4 shown first embodiment as well as in the Fig. 5 to 8 shown slightly modified second embodiment, an upper and a lower undercut 12a and 12b.
  • the coupling projection 11 engages over the coupling recess 10 at its upper side and does not extend completely up to the lateral surface 13 of the cosmetic unit 1.
  • the coupling projection 11 accordingly completes the upper side of the closure cap 3 in an arc shape and has a curved surface 14 on which a latching projection 15 is formed.
  • the inner surface 12 of the coupling recess 10 has a corresponding point-shaped recess 16.
  • the inner surface 12 and the outer side 14 of the coupling recess 10 or coupling projection 11 run at least partially perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis 17 of the cosmetic unit 1.
  • the coupling projection 11 of a cosmetic unit 1 is aligned with the coupling recess 10 of the other cosmetic unit 1 and then the coupling projection 11 by means a movement in the insertion direction 17a and thus to insert perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis 17 in the coupling recess 10 until the lateral surfaces 13 of the two cosmetic units 1, as in Fig. 1 shown aligned with each other.
  • the locking projection 15 engages the coupling projection 11 in the recess 16 of the coupling recess 10 and it is formed in Fig.
  • the one cosmetic unit 1 with the screw cap 3 connected to it can be unscrewed from the container 2 of the respective other cosmetic unit 1, so that an elongated handle is created, which allows a very comfortable handling.
  • Fig. 5 to 8 illustrated embodiment is consistent with in Fig. 1 to 4 illustrated embodiment largely and differs from this only in that the coupling device 9 has a cavity 18 which can be visually attractive and also reduces the required amount for the coupling device 9 amount of plastic, so that thereby and by a concomitant shorter cycle time in injection molding Cost savings.
  • the embodiment according to Fig. 9 to 12 is also according to the embodiment Fig. 1 to 4 very similar, but there the coupling device 9, however is connected to a socket 19 which is attachable to the cap 3.
  • a socket 19 which is attachable to the cap 3.
  • longitudinal ribs 20 are formed and on the inside of the plug cap 19 are also provided corresponding longitudinal ribs 21, so that the plug sleeve 19 when plugging on the cap 3 is rotatably seated.
  • the coupling device 9 projects beyond the lateral surface 13 of the cosmetic unit 1, so that in the coupled state a central, in Fig. 9 recognizable spherical compression arises.
  • a locking bead 22 is provided, which engages when fully plugging onto the cap 3 in a locking groove 23 at the lower axial end of the cap 3, so that thereby an axial fixation, d. H. a fixation in the direction of the central longitudinal axis 17, is achieved.
  • FIGS. 13 to 17 Technically corresponds to the embodiments described above, with only a difference in design, insofar as the outer contour seen in cross-section is approximately square and a coupling recess 10a and a coupling projection 11 a planar boundary surfaces having over edges 24, 25, 26 and 27 respectively , 28 merge into each other.
  • the coupling recess 10a and the coupling projection 11a have, viewed perpendicularly to the insertion direction 17a, in each case an approximately L-shaped cross-sectional area.
  • Fig. 13 shown coupled state of two so formed cosmetic units 1 engage the coupling recesses 10a and the coupling projections 11a of the two cosmetic units 1 hook-like manner.
  • the L-shape of the coupling recess 10a causes an upper undercut 12c, which has a rectangular or square cross-sectional area with respect to the insertion direction 17a.
