Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cosmetic unit according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Cosmetic units which have a storage container which receives the cosmetic to be applied, and a cosmetic applicator with the aid of which the cosmetic can be applied, have long been known in a wide variety of forms.
  • the cosmetic applicator may be introduced into the reservoir such that it is dipped into the cosmetic stored there and thereby loaded with the required amount of cosmetic.
  • the inner cross-section of the reservoir largely to the contour of the Cosmetic applicator adapt.
  • a cosmetic applicator in the form of a cylindrical brush with a likewise cylindrical reservoir the inner diameter of which is of a similar order of magnitude as the outer diameter of the brush.
  • a reservoir enclosing the cosmetic applicator has only a limited storage capacity, since in many cases it is not sensible to allow the cosmetic applicator to be immersed arbitrarily deep into the still almost completely filled storage container.
  • a cosmetic unit in particular in the form of a mascara unit or a lip gloss or eyeshadow unit which has a reservoir for receiving the cosmetic and a cosmetic applicator for applying the cosmetic.
  • the cosmetics applicator can be introduced into the reservoir so that it is thereby loaded with the cosmetic present in the reservoir.
  • at least one wall section of the storage container is configured so elastically that a substantial portion of the stored cosmetic is removed from an area of the storage container which is remote from the applicator by pressure on the said wall section can be urged near the applicator area of the reservoir.
  • the area close to the applicator is delimited from the area remote from the applicator by a dividing wall which has a plurality of passage openings spaced apart from one another, through which the cosmetic can be forced into the region near the applicator.
  • the partition ensures that it is possible by pressure on the reservoir to create the required amount in the vicinity of the cosmetic applicator for some time. This eliminates the need for the entire period of application, which often consists of a multiple insertion of the cosmetic applicator in the reservoir and a multiple Wiederheraus convinced the Kosmetikapplikators from the reservoir to exercise pressure on the reservoir to the cosmetics applicator each good with the cosmetic in To be able to bring contact. Instead, it is preferably such that it is sufficient to exert a one-time pressure on the storage container in the temporal context with an application and thereby cause the cosmetic to enter the vicinity of the cosmetic applicator through the dividing wall, where the cosmetic is then left over for a considerable period of time Partition is held.
  • the partition wall is designed to have a basket-like shape. Ideally, she trains a basket. In this variant, therefore, the dividing wall does not merely have an exclusively flat extension, but is a spatial entity. This spatial shape of the partition causes the partition on its side facing away from the applicator a larger Surface has as a purely flat partition. As a result, the total cross section of the openings is larger, can be pressed over the cosmetic mass from the applicator remote area in the applicator near area without the cross section of each opening must be too large dimensioned.
  • the cosmetic unit is characterized in that the partition wall is configured, arranged and adapted to the concrete applicator that it encloses at least a portion of the directly serving for application portion of the applicator on five sides, when the applicator is completely inserted into the reservoir.
  • the partition wall is configured, arranged and adapted to the concrete applicator that it encloses at least a portion of the directly serving for application portion of the applicator on five sides, when the applicator is completely inserted into the reservoir.
  • the partition has more than 4 and ideally even more than 10 or even more than 15 passages.
  • the accumulated area of the webs between the passage openings is smaller than the area which is covered by the sum of the passage openings.
  • the dividing wall consists mainly of holes through which cosmetics can be forced. Between these Slots are slender webs that are so wide that they not unnecessarily obstruct the passage of cosmetics from the applicator remote area into the area near the applicator, but on the other hand ensure that the cosmetic does not drip prematurely from the area near the applicator into the area remote from the applicator creeps back.
  • the holes are each dimensioned so small that the cosmetic mass once pressed from the region remote from the applicator into the region near the applicator, or the predominant part of it, remains permanently in the area close to the applicator.
  • permanent is preferably to be understood as “forever”; if necessary, it is sufficient for most practical applications if the term “permanent” is understood to mean “for at least one week” or “for at least 24 h” becomes.
  • the reservoir comprises a first part, which is made of a substantially rigid material, preferably a hard elastic plastic, and a second part, which is made of a much more flexible material than the first part, wherein the second part is directly connected to the first part.
  • the second part is at least so flexible that with a new cosmetic unit (ie a cosmetic unit that is in the delivery state) at least 20%, better 30%, of the cosmetic mass contained in the reservoir can be pressed from the region remote from the applicator into the area near the applicator, by compressing the second part of the flexible material with your fingers.
  • a new cosmetic unit ie a cosmetic unit that is in the delivery state
  • the wall thickness of the second part and the material used for it are regularly matched so that the said compression can be done without excessive force or at least without the use of force.
  • each of the two parts of the reservoir can be adapted materially targeted to the tasks to be performed by him. This makes it very easy to ensure that the first part of the reservoir, which serves as a mounting base for various components, such as the partition and the scraper, is executed very accurately and dimensionally stable, while the second part at the same time, also without much effort and without compromise Responding to the first part, can be made easily deformable.
  • said first and second parts of the reservoir are sealingly locked together.
  • Such locking can be done in the context of mass production without excessive effort and at the same time very reliably provides a tight connection.
  • the cosmetic unit is designed such that said first or said second part of the reservoir has at least one circumferentially circumferential sealing strip, which is encompassed by a likewise circumferential sealing groove of said second or first part.
  • a means is provided which ensures a rotationally secure fixing of the first part of the storage container to the second part of the storage container.
  • the first part of the storage container has an insertion opening, through which the cosmetic applicator can be pushed from the outside into the storage container.
  • the first part of the storage container made of a material which is hard in comparison to the second part, ideally essentially dimensionally stable, can then be used immediately to provide a locking means which holds the cosmetic applicator fixed in its rest position relative to the first part of the storage container, preferably in such a way in that the cosmetic applicator seals the insertion opening in the first part of the storage container against unwanted escape of the cosmetic.
  • the part forming the partition wall constitutes a further component separate from the storage container or from the first and second part of the storage container, which component forms a third part of the storage container.
  • said first part has a receptacle into which the preferably basket-like partition wall can be inserted and fixed, preferably by latching with the said first part.
  • the Partition is thus attached to the particularly dimensionally stable first part.
  • the receptacle of said first part is designed so that the basket-like partition can be inserted only from the later pantry side in the receptacle of said first part.
  • the receptacle has at least one projection or circumferential collar, which prevents the basket-like partition wall of the finished cosmetic unit from being able to be pulled outward. In this way, the basket-like partition can be easily attached to the first part so that there is no danger that it will be pulled out in the course of pulling out of the cosmetic applicator with this from the first part.
  • the cosmetic unit comprises a scraper, which is pushed into the basket-like partition wall, so that it engages around its periphery in a form-fitting manner.
  • the receptacle of said first part is preferably designed so that the basket-like partition can be inserted together with the form-fitting embraced by it scraper from the later pantry side in the receptacle of said first part, preferably only the basket-like partition with said first Part locked and the scraper has a collar which is positively held between at least one projection or collar of said first part and the basket-like partition.
  • the assembly is considerably simplified, because at the same time along with the attachment of the basket-like partition wall, a fastening of the scraper.
  • the fastening of the basket-like partition wall leads to no appreciable increase in the assembly effort, since the wiper is typically a component to be mounted separately anyway. This is because it is only possible in very few cases, the scraper of the same material as the reservoir and to inject it in one piece.
  • the basket-like partition has a self-contained peripheral region, ie a peripheral region which is free of passage openings.
  • This scope provides a functional area with increased stability, with the help of the basket-like partition wall can realize other functions.
  • the second part of the reservoir is locally against the basket-like partition that he supports them, preferably in said closed perimeter region of the basket-like partition.
  • the Fig. 2 shows a section through the applicator along a second cutting line.
  • FIGS. 3 to 6 show various other cuts by that of the FIGS. 1 and 2 shown embodiment.
  • the first part of the reservoir is preferably made of a hard elastic plastic, so a plastic that can be only slightly squeeze with the bare hand and therefore is largely dimensionally stable.
  • the second part of the reservoir preferably consists of a wall thickness selected here with the bare hand more than just insignificantly squeezable plastic.
  • a plastic suitable for blow molding is used. It is such a plastic as it is commonly used for squeezable bottles (such as shampoo bottles). Instead, however, it is also possible to use a soft-elastic material or a material which has an elastomer-like character.
  • the plastic material used for the first part will tend to be harder than the plastic material used for the second part.
  • any material may be used as a plastic material.
  • a first part for particularly high-quality cosmetic units which is made of metal and constructed, for example, as a rotationally symmetrical rotary part.
  • the stored cosmetic accumulates K in the lower, applicator remote area of the second part 3, as well as the Fig. 1 shows.
  • the cosmetic K passes under the resulting by the compression of the second part 3, increased internal pressure, the passage openings 7 in the partition 6. Since the passages - each by itself - have a fairly small cross section, the cosmetic can not immediately back into the far away from the applicator when the user no longer prints on the second part 3 of the storage container. In this way it is ensured that sufficient cosmetic mass is available in the area close to the applicator for quite a while in order to moisten the applicator, although the reservoir may be only sparse Cosmetic mass is filled or is largely filled with cosmetic mass, but because of the voluminous reservoir to a large extent can not be achieved directly from the actual applicator section 9.
  • the user is instructed to compress the second part 3 of the storage container preferably only when it has detached the cosmetic applicator 5 from its seat in the first part 2 of the storage container, and thereby the ventilation of the applicator-near region within the basket-like partition 6 is ensured.
  • a suitable vent opening can be provided, which prevents an air cushion from forming in the area near the applicator within the basket-like dividing wall 6 in the course of compression of the reservoir, which obstructs the passage of the cosmetic through the passage openings 7 of the basket-like dividing wall 6.
  • the second part 3 of the reservoir is provided with a tapered, circumferential area. With this area it is inserted into the first part 2 of the reservoir.
  • the wall thickness of the second part 3 is preferably at least 20%, better still at least 40% larger than the wall thickness in the area which is intended to be pressed together. This too is based on the Fig. 1 pretty good to recognize. Such a larger wall thickness can be easily realized even with a blow-molded part.
  • the tapered, circumferential portion of the second part 3 of the reservoir and the corresponding, this receiving area on the first part of the reservoir in terms of size coordinated so that the second part 3 of the reservoir can be inserted into the first part 2 of the reservoir that between the two abutting surfaces of these two parts an elastic bias in the radial direction is formed.
  • This elastic bias helps to seal the joint between these two parts.
  • a circumferential groove or locking groove 16 may be provided, either an additional sealing ring (usually too expensive), a compound securing amount of adhesive or a corresponding, in Fig. 1 not shown drawing Rastwulst the opposite part receives.
  • the connection is secured (and possibly only in addition) and / or sealed.
  • a seal is thereby preferably also carried out.
  • the second part 3 of the reservoir does not end just after the area over which it is in contact with the first part 2 of the reservoir. Rather, the second part 3 of the reservoir is still a good deal further into the first part 2 of the reservoir in and there forms a preferably cantilevered, not directly opposite the first part of the reservoir supporting support section 15.
  • the first part 2 of the reservoir is preferably equipped with a portion forming a seat 18, on which the cap 4 can be snapped.
  • the first part 2 of the storage container forms an insertion opening 17, through which the cosmetic applicator 5 can be inserted from the outside into the storage container.
  • the basket-like partition 6 is formed here in the manner of a one-sided open basket. This basket receives the scraper 12, which has a circumferentially extending surface, by means of which the scraper 12 seals against the inner periphery of the basket.
  • the basket or the basket-like partition 6 is equipped with a locking means by means of which it can be locked in the receptacle 10.
  • This locking means is at the of Fig. 1 embodiment shown formed by a detent 13 which engages in a corresponding, unspecified detent groove of the first part 2 of the reservoir.
  • the scraper 12 is set equal to its intended position, preferably without a separate locking of the scraper 12 is provided with the first part 2 of the reservoir.
  • the scraper is namely held positively between the basket or the basket-like partition 6 and the peripheral collar 11 of the first part 2 of the reservoir, preferably in a press fit, by both of the said parts exert a certain pressure on him.
  • the cosmetic applicator 5 is preferably (but not exclusively) a cosmetic flat applicator that is not round but has an elongated bristle trim.
  • Such an elongate bristle facing is characterized by having a substantially greater extent in a first direction than in a second direction perpendicular thereto, said first direction being substantially perpendicular or oblique (preferably at an acute angle> 75 °, better > 85 °) to the longitudinal axis of the applicator handle.
