Definitions

  • the invention relates to a scraper according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such scrapers are known in a variety of embodiments. They are used to strip cosmetic applicators, which are dipped in a cosmetic container to take there the required amount of the cosmetic to be applied and which are then pulled out of the cosmetic container to apply this cosmetic. In such a method for loading the applicator care must be taken that the applicator is not excessively loaded and the applicator handle is even as small as possible with cosmetic mass.
  • scrapers are usually provided in such Kosmetiktechniken in the neck of cosmetic bottles.
  • excess cosmetic is removed from the applicator and in particular also from its stem.
  • the scraper according to the invention has a substantially sleeve-shaped scraper body. This can be installed in a preferably round container neck.
  • the wiper according to the invention is characterized in that the passage formed in the interior of the wiper body for the cosmetics applicator is subdivided, at least in regions, by a dividing wall into two passage parts extending side by side. Of these, anyone can take a part of the cosmetics applicator, namely a handle together with the attached applicator.
  • the scrapers according to the invention are equipped so that their partition extends in the direction of the imaginary longitudinal axis of the respective scraper over at least 1/4, more preferably at least 1/2 of the length of the scraper.
  • a certain spatial extension of the partition wall is a prerequisite for a good stripping effect.
  • the scraper has a collar for supporting the scraper on a cosmetic container against forces acting in the direction of its longitudinal axis L.
  • the dividing wall should terminate on the container-inward side of the stripper below the collar.
  • the wiper a wiper lip in the form of a Having a reduced diameter portion at its Be Scholein5.rtigen end and / or a wiper lip in the form of a circumferential, extending transversely to the direction of insertion of the applicator, strip-like depression has at its container-unequal end.
  • Such a construction allows the scraper contact only very locally with the stalk to be stripped or the brush to be stripped and therefore improves the stripping effect.
  • the partition at the height at which the wiper body forms said wiper lip has a thickening substantially transverse to the direction of advance of the applicator, preferably in the form of a ledge raised from the adjoining surfaces of the partition extends over the entire width of the partition.
  • a "width" of the partition wall is here understood to mean the greater extent of the partition perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L. It significantly improves the wiping effect, if the partition does not rest against the leg to be stripped on the entire surface, but locally, which is achieved by said separating strip.
  • the wall thickness of the partition wall decreases from the monovalent end of the scraper in the direction of its container-valued end.
  • the scraper is designed and dimensioned in this way and also has at least one locking element, with the aid of which in the direction of the longitudinal axis so can be set on the cosmetic container, that he the rotational movement of the cosmetic applicator when mounting and screwing the Cosmetic unit can follow and is still held securely on the cosmetic container when removing the cosmetic applicator.
  • a scraper designed in such a way is thus such that, although it is positively connected to the Container neck is kept, but so loose that it can rotate in the container neck.
  • the special challenge is to ensure that the scraper seals securely against the container neck as soon as it is forced by the screw cap or the attached applicator pressure in the direction of the longitudinal axis L.
  • it may be useful to provide a pronounced collar on the scraper under which, for example, finds a relatively soft seal that seals the gap between the collar and the container neck when the scraper in the direction of the longitudinal axis against the Container neck is pressed.
  • tapered sealing surfaces ie a kind of tapered contact with the container neck abuts against a conical counter surface in the region of the collar of the scraper and seals reliably when the scraper is pressed by the lid or the attached applicator against the bottle neck. If the angle of said cone is chosen so that no self-locking occurs, it would also ensure that the scraper regains its mobility in the circumferential direction as soon as it is no longer pressed by a pressure in the direction of the longitudinal axis against the container neck.
  • the collar consists of a rubber-elastic material or in which the collar carries a rubber-elastic coating at least in the region of its sealing surfaces.
  • Such a two-stage scraper with its locally soft elastic trim also seals particularly well against the container neck, as soon as it is pressed against this in the direction of the longitudinal axis.
  • the stripper body comprises a first part which is rotatably held a second part.
  • the first part is designed so that it can be fixed to a cosmetic container as intended.
  • the second part of the wiper comprises the actual wiper lip and the said partition which divides the passage provided by the second part of the wiper for the cosmetic applicator into two adjacent passage parts.
  • Such a two-part construction of the scraper has the great advantage that the forceps applicator provided for cooperation with the scraper, despite the fact that his two stems stuck in different für constitution the scraper can be rotated. This is because the rotatably mounted on the first, fixed part mounted lower part of the scraper rotates. This has the great advantage that the cosmetic unit can be constructed simpler overall. It no longer requires a separate cap and a separate tweezers applicator. Rather, the tweezers applicator can be integrated into the cap and rotated after threading in the wiper together with the cap to screw the cosmetics container. It is particularly preferred to rotatably lock the first part of the wiper body and the second part of the wiper body together.
  • FIG. 1 and the FIG. 2 show a first embodiment of the scraper 1 according to the invention.
  • the scraper 1 has a substantially sleeve-shaped scraper body 2, ie a scraper body 2, which essentially has the shape of a "tube", which generally has a round cross-section.
  • the stripper body 2 is thin-walled, its wall thickness is preferably at least 0.25 mm, more preferably at least 0.4 mm and a maximum of 1.5 mm.
  • the scraper 1 is usually made of a plastic or an elastomer or even a rubber-elastic material.
  • the scraper body 2 can be made in one component, d. H. consist of only a single material. It is then particularly easy to manufacture, which is of great importance for a disposable part.
  • the stripper body 2 may be made multi-component and z. Example, consist of a basic element of a hard plastic that an existing of a softer or even rubber-elastic material area is molded, which forms the collar 4 and / or the wiper lip 3.
  • the stripper body 2 preferably tapers towards its container interior end and thereby forms a stripper lip 3.
  • the scraper 1 is for installation in a preferably round Container neck provided and configured accordingly. He carries on its side facing away from the container interior a collar 4, with which it is supported against the bottleneck or the upper end of the container in which it is installed. This ensures that the scraper 1 is not pressed into the cosmetic container 10 by the forces arising during the insertion of the applicator 14. He also seals the bottle.
  • a locking means that is designed here in the form of a locking bead 5. This engages when properly mounted the scraper 1 in a corresponding locking groove 21, 22 of the container neck.
  • the locking bead 5 and the outer diameter DA of the Abstreifer stresses 2 below the collar 4 are designed so that the scraper 1 is held rotationally fixed on the bottle neck after proper installation.
  • the wiper lip 3 is given the necessary elasticity either solely by the material of the wiper 1 and / or by the configuration in the region of the wiper lip 3, so that it can resiliently rest on the handle to be wiped and the applicator 14 to be wiped off.
  • a suitable embodiment may be, for example, to provide the outer wall of the wiper body 2 in the region of the wiper lip 3 with slots 6. Such slots 6 then divide the stripper body 2 into a series of individual segments whose elasticity is much higher than that of the self-contained stripper body 2.
  • the slots 6 can lie in a plane which intersects the longitudinal axis L of the stripper 1 or in FIG a plane which is skewed to the longitudinal axis L. In many cases, it is particularly advantageous if the slots 6 are not rectilinear are, but lie for example on a helix.
  • the passage 8 of the scraper 1 is divided by a partition 7 in two adjacent passage parts 8a and 8b.
  • the partition wall 7 is preferably flat and preferably at least predominantly or in most cases even substantially smooth. As a rule, it is formed by a continuous, non-perforated wall and injected integrally together with the remaining stripper body 2 in one step. It then preferably consists of the same material as the remaining Abstreifer stresses 2. However, there may be cases in which it is expedient to perform the partition 7 with openings or as a kind of sieve.
  • the production takes place in such a way that the correspondingly perforated or perforated dividing wall 7 is produced in a first step and then encapsulated during spraying of the actual wiper body 2 in the region of the outer walls of the wiper body 2.
  • the partition wall 7 tapers from the inside end JE of the scraper 1 towards the outside end AE of the scraper 1. It is expedient that the partition wall 7 has its greatest strength at the level of the scraper lip 3, since it is most intimately attached to it should beproofstMailden area of the applicator 14.
  • the thickness of the partition wall 7 is about 10-30% less than the wall thickness of the Abstreifer emotionss 2. This is readily possible, since the partition 7 as a rule along the entire length of its transition to the Abstreifer endeavor second is attached to these and is thus held by this "spanned".
  • the partition 7 extends in a plane that lies on the midline L
  • the passage 8 is thereby divided into two equal passage parts 8a, 8b.
  • the partition 7 extends in the present embodiment over at least 6/7 of the length of the scraper 1 in the direction of the longitudinal axis L of time. This is especially beneficial.
  • the length of the partition wall 7 is at least 1/4 of the length of the scraper 1 in the direction of the longitudinal axis L, better still at least 1/2 of the length of the scraper 1 in this direction.
  • This thickening 9 is preferably carried out on each side of the partition wall 7 as a kind of strip, each extending in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L of an outer wall of the Abstreifer endeavors 2 to the other outer wall of the Abstreifer stressess 2.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show how the scraper 1 according to the invention is expediently used and what effect it unfolds.
  • the FIG. 6 shows a cosmetics container 10, which is designed here as a mascara bottle.
  • the cosmetic container 10 has a container part 11 and a neck portion 12, which in turn is equipped with an external thread.
  • the scraper 1 is inserted in the neck portion 12. It is latched to the neck portion 12 with the aid of the locking bead 5. At the same time it is tillstüzt by its collar 4 in the direction of the longitudinal axis L against the neck portion 12. In this way, the scraper 1 is set in the direction of the longitudinal axis L up and down. Compared to a rotational movement in the circumferential direction of the scraper 1 is essentially by the frictional forces between fixed to him and the neck portion 12.
  • a lid 13 On the neck portion 12, a lid 13 is screwed, which holds a Kosmetikapplikator 14 in place by pressing on the uppermost part of the handle 15.
  • the cosmetic applicator 14 is here designed as a so-called “tweezers applicator", d. H. his grip 15 represents a resilient connection between two stems 16a and 16b. At the lower end of the two stems 16a, 16b, which are no longer shown here because of the demolition line, an applicator element is attached, for example in the form of an injection-molded mascara brush, which is attached to its end Outer circumference is occupied by bristles.
  • the first pass-through part 8a of the scraper 1 is penetrated by the first handle 16a of the applicator 14.
  • the second passage part 8b is penetrated by the handle 16b of the applicator 14.
  • the partition 7 has Immunschmiegt.
  • the wiper lip 3 of the wiper 1 the situation in the region of the wiper lip 3 of the wiper 1 is that the wiper lip 3, which is formed by the inwardly drawn portion of the wiper body 2, bears all around the stems 16a and 16b which together form a body having a substantially circular cross section form.
  • the dividing wall 7 with its thickening 9 bears against the insides of the two stems 16a and 16b, which in each case form a flat contact surface in this area.
  • the two stems 16a and 16b do not necessarily have to form a flat contact surface but, for example, can also form a corrugated surface. If so, then of course the partition 7 must adapt accordingly and have a corresponding profile.
  • the stems 16a and 16b all around are stripped, as soon as the cosmetics applicator 14 is pulled up in the direction of arrow P from the cosmetics container 10 to apply cosmetics.
  • the applicator elements attached to the ends of the stems 16a and 16b are preferably also stripped as soon as they pass through the first passage part 8a or the second passage part 8b.
  • the scraper 1 Since the scraper 1 is fixed to the cosmetic container 10, the reinsertion of the cosmetic applicator 14 must be made so as to first seek the correct position of the cosmetic applicator 14 suitable for insertion.
  • the cosmetic applicator 14 is pushed through the scraper 1 and introduced into the cosmetic container 10. Once he has reached his final position, the lid 13 can be screwed again, which holds the whole ensemble together. Characterized in that the cosmetic applicator 14 and the lid 13 of the cosmetic unit are designed here as two non-interconnected parts, the cosmetic applicator 14 does not have to be rotated together with the lid when closing the cosmetic unit. He is therefore coping with the immobile in the bottleneck set scraper 1.
  • FIGS. 8 to 13 show a second embodiment of the invention.
  • the above for the first embodiment of the invention applies to this second embodiment in the same way, with the exception of those differences resulting from the bipartite of the scraper, which will be described in more detail below.
  • the scraper 1 is divided in this embodiment into a first scraper part 17 and a second scraper part 18, which together the Form the stripper body 2.
  • the two scraper parts 17, 18 are positively locked to each other and slightly rotated in the new state against each other.
  • the form-fitting elements 19, 20, 21 and 22 are designed or tolerated so that the second wiper member 18 is not only rotatable in the new state, but remains rotatable over the entire intended intended life of the scraper designed as a disposable part away.
  • each of the wiper parts 17, 18 with a locking lug 19, 20 and at the same time with a locking groove 21, 22 carried out, so that each wiper member 17, 18 is locked with its own detent on the other wiper part.
  • the first wiper part 17 is rotationally fixed at the neck portion 12 of the cosmetic container 10 when properly mounted.
  • the first wiper part 17 is not equipped with a dividing wall 7, but forms a single, uniform passage 8, which is penetrated by both stems of the tweezer-like applicator 14.
  • Only the second, movable scraper 18 is equipped with a partition 7.
  • the partition wall 7 preferably extends at least substantially over the entire length of the movable second scraper part 18 in the direction of the longitudinal axis L. However, at least the partition wall 7 extends over at least 1/2 of the length of the second scraper part 18 in the direction of the longitudinal axis L extends.
  • the thickening 9 which has the partition wall 7 of the second scraper part 18 in the area in which the inwardly drawn-in part of the scraper body 2 forms the scraper lip 3.
  • the second wiper member 18 is rotatably fixed to the fixed first wiper member 17, it is possible to unite the Kosmetikapplikator 14 with the preferably designed as a screw cap cover 13, as it is, for example, also from many mascara applicators ago knows.
