Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mascara applicator according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Mascaraapplikatoren consist of a handle or a handle, which is followed by a longer stem, which carries at its end the actual applicator body.
  • Such an applicator body is usually designed in the form of a staffed with fingers or bristles brush.
  • the stem of the known applicators has a pronounced longitudinal axis and the bristle carrier usually has a cylindrical or at least rod-like shape.
  • the bristle carrier consists of two metal wires twisted together, the bristles are arranged more or less confused and do not form sufficiently clear lines, which could be meaningfully defined as trimming main axes or the like.
  • the bristles are more or less arranged in rows of successive bristles.
  • the imaginary, substantially straight and extending in the direction of the largest extension of the bristle field line through each such row of bristles can be called a major occupation axis - just like that FIG. 20 Illustrates the typical state of the art shows.
  • the bristles 5a are arranged in alignment here in the longitudinal direction one behind the other.
  • the corresponding line forms the stocking main axis 4b in the bristles 5b.
  • Another such line forms in the bristles 5c the stocking main axis 4c.
  • the mentioned bristles form here the main finger stain, ie the finger stain with whose help mainly the mascara application takes place.
  • bristles are available, for example, to rework the make-up or to achieve a certain combing effect.
  • the number of these other bristles is less than the number of bristles that all together make up the main finger set so that these bristles form only a minor finger set.
  • each of the main finger trim bristles at least substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis 3 of the stem 2 and adjoining the handle, not shown here handle.
  • Fig. 27 Stand by this injection-molded brush the only indicated, not shown in plan view from above bristles 5a exactly in a line, but are placed in regular alternation with a certain offset V relative to each other.
  • the stocking main axis is the arithmetical center axis around which the individual bristles are arranged at periodically varying intervals, cf., purely by way of example, the main stocking axis 4a.
  • a Mascaraapplikator with a relative to the handle permanently fixed finger carrier, which set up a main fingering of at least one row along an imaginary stocking main axis aligned or with offset one behind the other along the stocking main axis having fingers formed on the finger carrier and having a handle which in turn has a longitudinal axis.
  • the trimming main axes of the main finger trimming forming, preferably several finger rows and the longitudinal axis of the handle are substantially orthogonal to each other. Analogously, the same applies if the main fingering should only consist of a single row of fingers.
  • the condition according to the invention is also fulfilled if the projection of the stocking main axis on the longitudinal axis of the handle and the longitudinal axis of the handle are substantially orthogonal to one another.
  • the handle does not have a clear longitudinal axis, it is an option according to the invention instead to design and align the trimming so that the trimming main axes or the trimming main axes are substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the finger carrier.
  • the longitudinal axis of the finger carrier is that straight line which connects the proximal portion, by means of which the finger carrier is coupled to a handle or a handle, by the shortest route to the distal end face of the finger carrier.
  • the two intersecting axes (Besatz-Hauptachse or projection the trimming axis on the one hand and the longitudinal axis of the handle on the other) include, ⁇ ⁇ 60 °, preferably ⁇ ⁇ 75 ° and ideally ⁇ ⁇ 85 °. If the trimming major axis is curved, this condition shall apply essentially to the entire length of the trimming major axis. However, it is true that deviations at the edges of the stocking main axis, the z. B. resulting from there provided rounding of the bristle trim, are harmless. In the face of that marginal deviations to less than 30%, and preferably to less than 20% of the length of the respective trimming major axis are generally not critical.
  • a main finger attachment is understood to mean that part of the finger attachment which serves, as intended, to carry out at least the predominant part of the mascara application, i. the part with which the user who uses the mascara applicator for the first time receives the mascara from the storage container for the first time and applies it to the eyelashes.
  • the main finger stain comprises more than 40% of the total number of fingers available on the applicator.
  • the main finger stain even comprises at least 60% of the total fingers available on the applicator.
  • the main finger stain even comprises at least 75% of the total finger available on the applicator.
  • the remaining, other fingers may form a secondary finger attachment, such as in the form of a arranged on one edge of the main finger trim bristle group, which is primarily not for the first application of the mascara, but, for example, for selective tightening or mending the mascara application or for combing ,
  • Fingers integrally formed on the finger carrier are, for example, one-piece and preferably even one-piece molded onto the finger carrier.
  • such fingers come as a molded fingers into consideration, which consist of the same material as the finger carrier and which have been injection-molded in one step together with this or have been injected in a second step of the same or a different material to this.
  • a finger carrier is permanently fixed relative to the handle when the user has no opportunity to the finger carrier during application relative to the handle by rotation about a hinge or a joint to adjust.
  • a conditional only by elastic deformation, certain change in position of the finger carrier relative to the handle plays no role for the feature of "permanent determination".
  • the applicator consists of a single finger carrier.
  • this finger carrier is made in one piece.
  • the uniform finger carrier can be connected directly after injection molding with little effort with the handle of the handle or with the handle.
  • Such a multi-part finger carrier then consists of individual sections, which are fixed relative to each other, for example, by being locked together or joined together by welding. In this way, the multiple parts of the finger carrier from the user's perspective can be fixed permanently and for him immovable relative to each other.
  • the stocking main axis of at least one of those rows of fingers which form the main finger stocking is executed with a curvature.
  • at least a part of this stocking axis is designed so that the stocking axis is curved over most of its length and is preferably continuously curved.
  • the radius of curvature of the trimming axis is preferably ⁇ 10 mm, more preferably ⁇ 30 mm, and ideally even ⁇ 50 mm.
  • the curvature is a handle-facing, concave curvature, which preferably corresponds substantially to the curvature of the eyelash arc of the human eye.
  • the handle is substantially formed as a plate, d. H. as a non-rotationally symmetrical body which merges distally in one piece or via a distal end face into a finger carrier section and which has a proximal free end face, and substantially two large and two small free side faces, the surface of the large side faces being at least a factor of 4 and better at least the factor 6 is greater than the surface of the small side surfaces.
  • the largest width of the handle formed as a plate is not more than four times, preferably not more than three times the maximum length of the applicator.
  • the handle and the finger carrier body are connected directly to each other, that is without the interposition of a stem.
  • the connection is preferably made such that not one of the side surfaces of the finger carrier is used for connection to the handle, but the proximal end face, that is, the Fingererbesatz most far away from the surface of the finger carrier.
  • the handle and the main finger rest are arranged relative to each other so that when the applicator is used properly, the user's finger leading the applicator is in front of the eye in the direction of view rather than laterally beside the eye which is the case with conventional applicators.
  • the handle of the mascara applicator ideally consists of a plate, which is preferably designed such that its two large surfaces lie between the thumb and forefinger when the applicator is guided against the eye.
  • Such a design offers a completely new application feeling, which is perceived by a not inconsiderable number of users to be more pleasant compared to the feeling of use that conventional applicators impart.
  • a designed applicator can be used with 2 or 3 fingers and easily brought from the front to the eye. The uncertainty which some users experience when a finger carrier section has to be guided from the side to the eye with the aid of a long handle, is eliminated. In particular, it is easier to keep the applicator as quiet as possible.
  • Another preferred embodiment provides that the two small side surfaces with the connecting straight line between the edges, which forms the fingerbecodee face to the small side surfaces of the finger carrier, an angle ⁇ ⁇ 90 °, preferably ⁇ 85 ° and preferably ⁇ 65 °, ideally ⁇ 75 °.
  • the main finger stain consists of at least 30% and preferably predominantly of fingers protruding from the distal end face of the finger carrier.
  • the distal end face of the finger carrier is the surface of the finger carrier, which faces away from the handle and, when used as intended, faces the eye directly.
  • the finger carrier with bristles allows the eyelash sheet to be wetted by a pivoting movement of the applicator about a horizontally extending axis from bottom to top with mascara. Such an application movement is perceived as very pleasant.
  • the main finger trim is made of bristles, ie of bodies that are flexurally elastic so that their tip can deflect at least 15%, better still at least 25% of their length from foot to tip.
  • the bristles are preferably sprayed bristles, which are preferably sprayed in one step together with the cup carrier or preferably even in one step together with the bristle carrier and the handle and ideally taper from their foot to their tip, preferably steadily ,
  • the lateral surface of the main finger attachment surrounds the distal end face of the finger carrier at least at an angle ⁇ of 120 ° and particularly preferably at an angle of at least 150 °.
  • a finger attachment is created whose envelope contour substantially resembles a type of roller, or a peripheral portion of a roller. With such a finger trim, it can be very pleasant to apply, since the roller can be performed in front of the eye, that it extends substantially parallel to the eyelash arc and then can be rolled a short distance on the eyelashes of the eyelash sheet to be treated.
  • a special, usually smooth-surfaced contact surface is formed on the plate forming the finger carrier, with which the scraper comes to rest without disturbing the bristles, as soon as the mascara applicator forms part of a completely closed mascara unit.
  • this abutment surface is constricted with respect to the portion of the finger carrier-forming plate which is occupied by the fingers, or has a return to this opposite. This results in a certain positive locking between the said contact surface and the wiper lips.
  • the plate forming the finger carrier in the manner of a booklet, usually perpendicular to the applicator protruding sealing surface forms, which, when the Mascaraapplikator part of a closed mascara unit, sealingly with a complementary surface on the scraper or on Mascara container comes into engagement.
  • This sealing surface is preferably designed as a circumferentially extending, circumferentially self-contained sealing surface and ideally equipped so that it can act as a conical or conical seal.
  • this sealing surface is preferably designed such that when the mascara applicator is part of a closed mascara unit, it separates the mascara-mounted part of the applicator from the remaining part of the applicator. In this way it is prevented that the mascara mass penetrates more than insignificant extent in an area that should not be wetted by the mascara mass to ensure proper handling.
  • the finger carrier and the handle are two separate, separate components.
  • the finger carrier has, in the region of its proximal end face (that is to say remote from the eye), a connection section for connection to the handle.
  • the connecting portion has a latching means, preferably a latching projection or a latching recess, for positive locking latching of the finger carrier with a complementary locking means of the handle.
  • a particularly favorable embodiment of the invention provides that the Mascaraapplikator has at least one locking means with which the finger carrier and / or the handle forming portion can be fixed directly to the mascara applicator in its standby receiving container by means of positive engagement.
  • FIG. 2 also shows that the finger carrier 10 is substantially formed as a plate, ie as a non-rotationally symmetrical body.
  • the finger carrier 10 as such is embodied here in one piece, as a molded component in one operation together with the bristles.
  • the finger carrier has its own longitudinal axis 24 which in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 shown as a solid line, in contrast to the dotted line representing the longitudinal axis 3 of the handle.

FIG. 2 ), over which it passes into the handle and a distal end face, which is occupied with bristles. Comparing the FIGS. 1 and 2 , then you realize that the surface of the two large side surfaces 12 is larger by at least about a factor of 2.5 than the surface of the two small side surfaces 11, which constitutes the plate-like shape in the context of the invention. In the vast majority of cases, the size relation will be even more pronounced in favor of the two large side surfaces 12, than that in the FIGS. 1 and 2 is shown.
  • the finger carrier 11 is equipped with a type of handle, as known from a knife, that is to say with a structure protruding at least substantially radially with respect to the applicator longitudinal axis.
  • This radially projecting structure is more pronounced along the large side surfaces 12 than along the small side surfaces 11, but preferably here also at least in the neck.
  • This radially projecting structure acts as a stop, which limits the further insertion of the applicator into the reservoir, and preferably at the same time as a sealing surface 17, preferably in the form of a cone seal.
  • the booklet On its rear side (ie, proximally), the booklet is equipped with a substantially flat latching extension or a latching opening of the plate carrier surrounding the surrounding stop surface.
  • this stop surface of the finger carrier 10 abuts a corresponding, preferably substantially equal stop surface of the handle 2.
  • these two surfaces are elastically braced against each other by the latching between the finger plate and the handle.

  • the Fig. 1 illustrates that the handle and / or the finger carrier optimally have a locking means 18, by means of which the applicator can be locked independently of a possible latching or holding function of the wiper lip with him receiving reservoir in a rest position of the applicator.

  • the stocking major axes are in FIG. 1 from left to right, because the bristle field in this direction has its greatest extent - while in this direction more than 14 and preferably even more than 16 bristles one behind the other along a line, stand in the circumferential direction only less than 8 and preferably even less than 6 bristles in a row along a line. Accordingly, the stocking main axis runs in FIG. 2 essentially perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.
