EP2632286B1 - Four-fingered cosmetic glove - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a 4-finger cosmetic glove with a fiber fly fabric. The glove can be used to replace several work tools such as a make-up artist or a make-up artist or make-up artist, allowing for more effective work.

In areas where people in the public need a special look, such as in photo shoots, in film, theater, musical or opera, these people are made up and prepared by other people accordingly. For example, make-up artists are especially responsible for making-up people and are more likely to find bridal make-up, evening, gala make-up and catwalk make-up. Make-up artists are also responsible for make-up (make-up) and close-to-reality disguise in the sense of visible body parts and proportions of, for example, actors and singers.

Make-up artists or make-up artists and people to make up, such as actors, models or singers, need close contact. For reasons of hygiene, it is often desirable here that there is no direct skin contact between the make-up person and the make-up person. Furthermore, the persons are usually foreign. Direct skin contact, especially in the area of the face, is often perceived as unpleasant.

For make-up artists and make-up artists there is still the danger that they will develop a contact allergy to the products used. It forms Contact dermatitis on the skin, which are regularly in contact with certain chemical compounds.

To protect against allergic reactions, but also to avoid direct skin contact, the make-up artist or the make-up artist can wear gloves during make-up. For example, latex gloves can be worn as they are used in the medical field.

The latex gloves restrict the makeup / make-up artist little at work. Make-up utensils, such as tassels, brushes or sponges, can be gripped and used normally by hand. However, the touch, for example, in the face with such a glove is often perceived as unpleasant. Furthermore, the hand begins to sweat inside the glove, causing the skin to dry out. If the skin of the hand is moist, this makes it difficult to put on the glove. Often this is broken then.

An alternative is cotton gloves. These are more comfortable to wear because the skin of the hand does not sweat in them or swells very little. However, these gloves are usually inelastic. As a result, the required instinct is lost. A quick change of make-up tools is then often no longer possible. The make-up of filigree places is difficult. In addition, these gloves pollute quickly. A frequent change associated with a frequent cleaning is necessary here.

A cosmetic glove made of pulp is from the German utility model DE 1971 013 known. Such a glove ensures that cream applied to the hand does not escape to the outside. The direct contact between The hand of the make-up and the face of the make-up is avoided here. However, with such a padded glove any instinct is lost. A fine, filigree work is no longer possible.

US 2007/0264894 describes a glove with a protective cover. This can be put over the glove if necessary. The glove also has pockets filled with soap. Such a glove can be used, for example, for cleaning.

A glove for cleaning and care purposes is in DE 203 04 298 U1 described. The glove is for single use, preferably for personal hygiene, cosmetics or even for cleaning or care of objects, and consists of two interconnected layers of absorbent material. A layer of a fleece of the glove is soaked with specific detergents for the respective purpose.

EP 1 153 553 A1 describes a glove for cleaning sensitive skin and for applying cosmetically active substances. The glove comprises three layers of polymeric materials. These are linked together to form pockets. The outer surface is roughened.

A glove pack with impregnated fingerless disposable glove is off DE 27 57 130 A1 known. The glove has an outwardly facing impregnated pile surface.

A sports glove with a pile cover is also off DE 296 02 973 U1 known. In this case, the cover layer at least the palm of the hand on a pile cover.

A cosmetic glove is off US 2007/025932 known. The inside includes a fiber fly fabric.

A work glove, in which the front and back are the same design, is out US 2006/0064796 A1 described. The glove can be worn on both hands.

Although the gloves described in the prior art and a cotton glove allow protection, especially from a hygienic point of view. The disadvantage here, however, that a filigree work, as is necessary for make-up artists / make-up artist, is no longer possible. Furthermore, when making up other people come powdered make-up products, such as powder or eye shadow, as well as fatty products, such as creams or make-up used. Fatty products can not be processed with the aforementioned gloves. Rather, the glove must be pulled out and tightened again later. This is awkward and takes time. In addition, the glove can easily get dirty.

As a make-up / make-up artist you need for the desired make-up several different tools, such as powder puff, sponge or brush. These tools must be changed frequently. In particular, when working under pressure, they can fall to the ground or be polluted by other means, so they can not be used. Therefore, there must always be several tassels, sponges, brushes per person to make up. The constant change of tools requires a lot of practice and a high dexterity and costs a lot of time.

The object of the present invention is to provide a working device with which the aforementioned disadvantages can be avoided. The handling should be simple and flexible.

In a first embodiment, the object underlying the present invention is achieved by a 4-fingered cosmetic glove (1) an inner side (2) of the palm of the hand and the underside of the finger, an upper side (3) of the back of the hand and the upper side of the finger and a wrist region (4), the inner side (2) comprising a fibrous tissue and the glove having a penetration opening (5) in the area of the metacarpophalangeal joint.

Fig. 1 shows a 4-finger cosmetic glove (1) according to the invention. Fig. 2 to Fig. 7 show particular embodiments, which are described below.

An inventive 4-finger cosmetic glove (1) allows a more flexible and filigree working compared to working with a conventional powder puff. In addition to the powder puff and sponge and brush are completely or partially replaced by the cosmetic glove (1) according to the invention. Since a permanent change of work tools is eliminated, a fast, flexible work is possible.

The inside (2) of the cosmetic glove (1) comprises the area of the palm of the hand and the underside of the fingers D II to D V. D II denotes the index finger, D III the middle finger, D IV the ring finger and D V the little finger.

This inner side (2) comprises a fiber fly fabric. Such is suitable for applying powdered products to the skin. In a batt, free ends of the fabric protrude outward. This gives a soft, fluffy feeling. On the skin of the person to be made up, the fiber palm fabric gives a pleasant feeling. Powdered products according to the present invention include face powders, body powders and / or eye shadows. With the glove of the invention can be immersed directly into the powdery product and simply tap off excess material if necessary.

According to the cosmetic glove (1) can be produced for both the right and the left hand. If you wear a cosmetic glove (1) on each hand, you can use the inside (2) of the other cosmetic glove (1) to tap off excess material. If you take a powdered make-up product with your right hand, you can tap off excess material on the inside (2) of the cosmetic glove (1) on the left hand, and vice versa.

The cosmetic glove (1) according to the invention allows filigree work, since the fingers are individually worked out. If, for example, working with so-called oil-absorbing sheets, the glove according to the invention can easily be used to reach all corners of a face in order to remove the shine there without having to use a brush or a tassel for this purpose. The change of equipment is omitted here.

In the area of the thumb base joint, the cosmetic glove (1) according to the invention has a passage opening (5). The metacarpophalangeal joint is not covered by the glove. On this free skin surface different fatty makeup products can be mixed together before application to the desired location. It is also possible to rub a greasy make-up product on the thumb base joint before applying it to the desired area of the skin. For the purposes of the present invention, fat-containing make-up product is understood in particular to be oil-in-water emulsions or water-in-oil emulsions, for example a care cream, a cream make-up, a fluid make-up or lipstick.

A 4-finger cosmetic glove (1) according to the invention can therefore replace not only a powder puff but also a sponge and a brush. This allows a faster, more effective work, since a constant change of equipment is eliminated. In addition, there is no risk that, especially when working outdoors, the individual tools fall to the ground, are polluted and therefore can not be used.

The 4-finger cosmetic glove (1) according to the invention furthermore protects the corresponding hand or both hands against external influences. In summer, the 4-finger cosmetic glove (1) protects the skin from the UV rays of the sun. In winter, the glove warms, which reduces the coldness of the skin. In addition, by the 4-finger cosmetic glove (1) direct contact between the skin of the hand and the make-up product can be avoided. As a result, dehydration and contamination of the hand is avoided. In particular, in people who tend to incompatibilities with the make-up products used, the glove (1) according to the invention provides protection.

In a further embodiment, the fabric of the inside (2) of the 4-finger cosmetic glove (1) according to the invention is elastic, in particular bi-elastic. Elastic fabrics include those fabrics that are stretchable in one dimension, whereas bi-elastic fabrics include those that are stretchable in two dimensions. A flexible, elastic fabric leads to improved comfort of the 4-finger cosmetic glove (1) according to the invention. In particular, if you have to work with only one finger filigree, an elastic tissue improves the adaptation to the finger of the make-up and the skin of the make-up. A formation of wrinkles, which can also lead to an unpleasant skin sensation in addition to a bad make-up, is avoided. An elastic, in particular a bi-elastic material can be better adapted to the hand shape, as a non-elastic material.

The flax fabric may continue to be breathable. In particular, when the glove is worn over an extended period of time, it is advantageous if the hand inside the 4-fingered cosmetic glove (1) do not sweat. This would lead to an unpleasant skin sensation. Furthermore, this would dry out the skin of the hand in the 4-finger cosmetic glove (1). However, if a breathable fabric is used, the sweat of the hand can escape to the outside. There is no heat accumulation inside the glove. A breathable fabric thus leads to improved comfort.

In one embodiment, the inside (2) of the 4-finger cosmetic glove (1) according to the invention comprises velvet, plush, nicki and / or velor. These materials are preferably suitable for applying powdered make-up products. Furthermore, they can be made stretchable in two dimensions, ie bi-elastic. Due to the feel of velvet, plush, nicki and / or velor, the inventive 4-finger cosmetic glove (1) has a high wearing comfort.

The upper side (3) of the 4-finger cosmetic glove (1) according to the invention may have the same or a different fabric than the inner side (2). Preferably, the upper side (3) on a different tissue than the inside (2). The upper side (3) comprises both the back of the hand and the top of the finger. If the 4-finger cosmetic glove (1) made of two different materials for the inside (2) and top (3) worked, this can lead to improved comfort.

In a particular embodiment, the upper side (3) of the 4-finger cosmetic glove (1) has a passage opening or a pocket (6).

If the upper side (3) of the glove has a pocket (6), this may include a fibrous fleece fabric. In a preferred embodiment, the pocket (6) comprises the same material as the inside (2) of the cosmetic glove (1). The pocket (6) is preferably positioned in the area of the finger base joints of the fingers D II to DV and at least partially spans one or more of the finger base joints of the fingers D II, D III, D IV and D V.

On the bag (6) excess make-up material from the inside (2) of the cosmetic glove (1) can be knocked off. When putting on a face, the person to be dressed can also rest their chin in the area of the pocket (6) of the glove (1) on the person of the make-up person. This ensures a quiet position of the head. Also, this hand serves as a support to be able to better make-up with the other hand, for example, fine contours. By the bag (6), which is preferably made of the same material as the inside (2) of the 4-finger cosmetic glove (1), this also feels comfortable for the on. Furthermore, an already achieved make-up result is not smeared by the fiber fly fabric.

Furthermore, it does not come by wearing the 4-finger cosmetic glove (1) to a direct skin contact between make-up and make-up person. If, for example, in the field of film or theater, several persons have to be made up, for example, by a make-up artist or a make-up artist, wearing gloves is also indicated from a hygienic point of view. If the upper side (3) of the cosmetic glove (1) according to the invention is designed, for example, in different colors, then it is possible to assign one or more cosmetic gloves (1) to each person to be made up individually. Each glove can then be clearly assigned to a make-up and a make-up person. This increases the hygienic conditions, both for the person to be made up, as well as for the make-up.

The inventive 4-finger cosmetic glove (1) thus not only replaces several tools. This makes it easier to work, since the permanent change of different tools deleted. Also, the hygienic conditions are improved, in which the direct skin contact between strangers can be reduced to a small degree.

In a further embodiment, the pocket (6), which is located on the upper side (3) of the 4-finger cosmetic glove (1), is upholstered. If this bag (6) is used as a support for the face, in particular of the chin, of a person, the finger basic joints of the hand are thereby protected on the one hand. On the other hand, the chin is then in a comfortable position, which can be maintained over a longer period of time, if necessary.

The access opening or the pocket (6) may further comprise a bag (7), comprising an upper side (9) and a lower side (8), which may be formed as a semicircle, semi-oval or ergonomic. The bag (7) is attached via a connection to the top (3) of the 4-finger cosmetic glove (1). If necessary, the bag (7) can be slipped over the fingers D II to DV, as shown schematically in FIG FIG. 3 to FIG. 5 is shown.

Fig. 3 shows an embodiment in which a bag (6) on the top (3) of the 4-finger cosmetic glove (1) is located. In the pocket (6) is the bag (7). As Fig. 4 this is attached via a fastening (13) on the pocket (6) or on the top (3) of the glove. If the bag (7) is slipped over the fingers, the 4-fingered cosmetic glove (1) according to the invention now takes the form of a mitten in which the thumb has been cut out, as in Fig. 5 shown. This allows the homogeneous application of powdered make-up products even on large areas.

So that the bag (7) can be pulled over the fingers, this is designed as a semicircle, semi-oval or ergonomic. Ergonomically means here that the bag (7) is not symmetrical, but the contour of the length of the fingers D II to DV oriented. Usually it is in D III, the longest finger of a hand. The adjacent D II and D IV are usually shorter than D III, but both are comparable in length. DV is usually much shorter than the adjacent D IV. In an ergonomic configuration, this is taken into account in the contour of the bag (7).

Preferably, the underside (8) of the bag (7) comprises the same material as the inside (2) of the glove. The use of an elastic material here also allows easier slipping of the bag (7) over the fingers. The fiber fly fabric allows the uniform application of a powdered make-up product.

If the bag (7) is located in the pocket (6) on the upper side (3) of the glove, it can also serve as a cushion at the same time. Another padding of the bag (6) is not necessary.

In a further embodiment, the 4-finger cosmetic glove (1) according to the invention furthermore has at least one slot opening (10) in at least one of the fingers D II to D V in the area of the respective finger middle joint. When working with greasy make-up products, it may be necessary for one or more fingers, preferably D II, not to be covered by the glove. Through the slot opening (10), it is possible that the or the corresponding (s) finger can slip out of the 4-finger cosmetic glove (1) / without having to take off the entire glove. The stripped fingertip of the cosmetic glove (1) remains firmly connected to the rest of the glove (1). It can not fall down and pollute. The slot opening (10) may be attached to any one or more fingers of the 4-fingered cosmetic glove (1), with D II being preferred.

With the then free finger you can also better grip on individual objects. During makeup, the hair is often made with braces held the face. These hair clips are also used to fix a hairstyle used. Such brackets are so fine that you can only access and use them with uncovered fingers. Normally, a glove must be completely removed and then re-tightened. This takes time. Furthermore, the glove can become dirty. Through the slot opening (10) can now one or more fingers quickly slip out of the glove. The aforementioned disadvantages are avoided.

The region (11) of the slot opening (10) preferably comprises an elastic, in particular a bi-elastic material. In this case, the inventive 4-finger cosmetic glove (1) in the region (11) of the slot opening (10) comprise a different material than the inside (2) and / or the outside (3).

In addition to make-up, make-up artists / make-up artists are also often responsible for the hairstyle of the corresponding person. For fixing of hair parts or high hair, aids such as hairgrips are used. These are often in a tin. From this they must then be taken out with difficulty individually. In a further embodiment, the 4-finger cosmetic glove (1) according to the invention comprises a loop (12) at the transition between upper side (3) and wrist area (4). Hair clips, hair clips or other tools can then be attached to this loop (12).

The wrist area (4) is designed so that it loosely surrounds the wrist. It preferably comprises an elastic, in particular a bi-elastic material. Also on the wrist area (4) hair clips, hair clips or other tools can be attached.

The object underlying the present invention is achieved in a further embodiment in that the inventive 4-finger Cosmetic Glove (1) includes different sizes. Depending on the size of the hand, a suitable glove can be chosen.
