Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter zur Aufbewahrung von Lippenpflegestiften. Lippenstifte/Lippenpflegestifte bestehen üblicherweise aus einer in einer Kunststoffhülse angeordneten Mine, welche durch Verdrehen der Kunststoffhülse gegenüber einem mit der Kunststoffhülse drehbar verbundenen Kunststoffsockel axial in der Hülse verschiebbar ist. Zum Gebrauch kann die Mine so weit aus der Kunststoffhülse herausbewegt werden, wie es zum Auftragen des Pflegeprodukts auf die Lippen notwendig ist. Nach Gebrauch wird die Mine wieder zurück in die Kunststoffhülse bewegt. Ein über die Kunststoffhülse schiebbarer Kunststoffdeckel dient dem Schutz der Kunststoffhülse und deren darin angeordneten Mine.The invention relates to a container for storing lip balms. Lipsticks / lip balm usually consist of a plastic sleeve arranged in a mine, which is axially displaceable in the sleeve by rotating the plastic sleeve against a rotatably connected to the plastic sleeve plastic base. For use, the refill can be moved out of the plastic sleeve as far as necessary to apply the care product to the lips. After use, the refill is moved back into the plastic sleeve. A plastic cover slidable over the plastic sleeve serves to protect the plastic sleeve and its arranged therein mine.

Derartige Lippenstifte/Lippenpflegestifte werden in sehr hohen Stückzahlen produziert und von vielen Menschen regelmäßig verwendet. Aus hygienischen Gründen besteht für viele Anwenderinnen und Anwender das Bedürfnis, dass nur sie und keine anderen Personen ihren Lippenstift/Lippenpflegestift verwenden. Insbesondere bei in häuslicher Gemeinschaft lebenden Anwenderinnen und Anwendern besteht das Problem, dass die Lippenstifte/Lippenpflegestifte der Anwenderinnen und Anwender dasselbe Aussehen haben und daher nicht voneinander unterscheidbar sind. Die Lippenpflegestifte aus Kunststoff erscheinen vielen Anwenderinnen und Anwendern, die ihrem persönlichen Stil eine hohe Bedeutung beimessen, wenig attraktiv und wertig, zumal derartige Lippenpflegestifte auch oftmals in der Öffentlichkeit benutzt werden. Lippenpflegestifte bieten mit ihren Kunststoffgehäusen nur einen begrenzten Schutz gegenüber äußeren Einwirkungen - insbesondere auch Wärme.Such lipsticks / lip balms are produced in very high quantities and regularly used by many people. For reasons of hygiene, many users have the need that only they and no other people use their lipstick / lip balm. Particularly in the case of users living in a community, there is the problem that users' lipsticks / lip balms have the same appearance and are therefore indistinguishable. The lip balm sticks made of plastic appear to many users who attach great importance to their personal style, not very attractive and valuable, especially since such lip balms are also often used in public. Lip care sticks offer with their plastic housings only limited protection against external influences - especially heat.

Aus den deutschen Gebrauchsmustern DE29701928U1 und DE202004017464U1 sowie aus der US Veröffentlichung US 2004/0134819A1 und aus dem US Patent US 5 765 955 sind verschiedene Ausführungsformen von Behältern für austauschbare Lippenpflegestifte bekannt. Bei den dort gezeigten Behältern besteht das Problem, dass bei der Anwendung des Lippenpflegestifts, also bei abgenommenen Deckel wiederum wenig ansehnliche Kunststoffteile des Lippenpflegestifts sichtbar sind, die auch nur einen begrenzten Schutz für die darin angeordnete Mine bieten.From the German utility models DE29701928U1 and DE202004017464U1 as well as from the US publication US 2004 / 0134819A1 and from the US Pat. No. 5,765,955 Various embodiments of containers for replaceable lip balms are known. In the containers shown there, there is the problem that in the application of the lip balm, so again with the lid removed little sizable plastic parts of the lip balm are visible, which also offer only limited protection for the mine arranged therein.

Die DE 102008014692 A1 zeigt einen Behälter für einen Lippenstift oder Lippenpflegestift bestehend aus einem austauschbaren Teil mit einer in einer Kunststoffhülse angeordneten Mine, welche durch Verdrehen der Kunststoffhülse gegenüber einem mit der Kunststoffhülse drehbar verbundenen Kunststoffsockel axial in der Hülse verschiebbar ist und einem für mehrfache Verwendung vorgesehenen Behälter in welchem das austauschbare Teil lösbar angeordnet ist, wobei der Behälter ein Sockelteil, in dem der Kunststoffsockel aufgenommen und fixiert ist, sowie einen Deckel umfasst, wobei der Behälter ferner ein Hülsenteil umfasst, in dem die Kunststoffhülse aufgenommen und fixiert ist und der Deckel auf das Hülsenteil aufschiebbar ist. Nachteilig an der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Lösung ist, dass der Austausch der Kunststoffhülse nicht ohne entsprechendes Werkzeug vom Anwender durchgeführt werden kann. Insbesondere besteht eine Verletzungsgefahr, wenn der Anwender versucht, das austauschbare Teil mit dem Finger aus dem Behälter herauszudrücken. Des Weiteren ist der bestehende Stand der Technik nicht im ausreichenden Maße dafür ausgebildet, Lippenpflegestifte zuverlässig mit unterschiedlichen Außendurchmessern aufzunehmen.The DE 102008014692 A1 shows a container for a lipstick or lip balm consisting of a replaceable part with a arranged in a plastic sleeve mine, which is axially displaceable in the sleeve by turning the plastic sleeve against a rotatably connected to the plastic sleeve plastic base and a container provided for multiple use in which the removable part is arranged releasably, wherein the container comprises a base part in which the plastic base is received and fixed, and a lid, wherein the container further comprises a sleeve part in which the plastic sleeve is received and fixed and the lid is pushed onto the sleeve part , A disadvantage of the known from the prior art solution is that the replacement of the plastic sleeve can not be performed without appropriate tools by the user. In particular, there is a risk of injury when the user tries to push the replaceable part with his finger from the container. Furthermore, the existing state of the art is not sufficiently adapted to reliably receive lip balms with different outside diameters.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Behälter zur Aufbewahrung von Lippenpflegestiften darzustellen, der die Aufnahme von Lippenpflegestiften mit unterschiedlichem Außendurchmesser ermöglicht und ferner ein Austausch des Lippenpflegestifts auf einfache Art erfolgen kann und bei normalem Gebrauch einfach in der Handhabung ist.The present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a container for storing lip balms, which allows the inclusion of lip balms with different outer diameter and further replacement of the lip balm can be done in a simple way and is easy to handle in normal use.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird ein Behälter, wie im Anspruch 1 definiert, vorgeschlagen, bei dem durch ein elastisches Element die Aufnahme von Lippenpflegestiften unterschiedlicher Durchmesser in den Behälter zur Aufnahme des Lippenpflegestiftes ermöglicht wird. Dadurch können Lippenpflegestifte unterschiedlichster Hersteller aufgenommen werden. Es liegt keine produktbezogene Verwendungsmöglichkeit vor. Dies wird durch ein elastisches Element ermöglicht, das Ausnehmungen und/oder Wölbungen aufweist, und an der Innenmantelfläche eines Hülsenteiles anliegt. Durch Art, Größe und Form der Wölbungen kann die Vorspannkraft des elastischen Elements individuell variiert werden. Somit ist eine produktspezifische Anpassung an alle gängigen Lippenpflegestifte möglich.To solve this problem, a container as defined in claim 1, proposed, in which by an elastic element, the inclusion of lip balancing pins of different diameter is made possible in the container for receiving the lip balm. As a result, lip balms from different manufacturers can be included. There is no product related use. This is made possible by an elastic element, which has recesses and / or bulges, and rests against the inner circumferential surface of a sleeve part. By type, size and shape of the bulges, the biasing force of the elastic element can be varied individually. Thus, a product-specific adaptation to all common lip balms is possible.

Das elastische Element kann aus verschiedenen Werkstoffen bestehen. Eine Ausführungsform ist eine Spange aus Federstahl, welche an der Innenmantelfläche des Hülsenteils anliegt und Wölbungen aufweist und die Kunststoffhülse fixiert. Um die Haftreibung zwischen elastischem Element und Kunststoffhülse zu erhöhen und möglichst wenig Platz in dem Hülsenteil einzunehmen und um die Aufnahmefähigkeit gerade bei Kunststoffhülsen mit großem Außendurchmesser zu erhöhen, kann das elastische Element Ausnehmungen enthalten. Die Ausnehmungen werden in Form, Größe und Festigkeit den aufzunehmenden Kunststoffhülsen angepasst. Das elastische Element ist im Hülsenteil so fixiert, dass beim Austausch des austauschbaren Teils das elastische Element nicht aus dem Hülsenteil herausfallen kann. Als Werkstoffe für das elastische Element können auch Kunststoffe, Schaumstoffe, Silikon oder Gummi verwendet werden, welche an der Innenmantelfläche des Hülsenteils angebracht sind.The elastic element may consist of different materials. One embodiment is a clip made of spring steel, which rests against the inner circumferential surface of the sleeve part and has bulges and fixes the plastic sleeve. In order to increase the static friction between the elastic element and the plastic sleeve and occupy as little space in the sleeve part and to increase the capacity, especially in plastic sleeves with a large outer diameter, the elastic element may contain recesses. The recesses are adapted in shape, size and strength to be absorbed plastic sleeves. The elastic element is fixed in the sleeve part so that when replacing the replaceable part, the elastic element can not fall out of the sleeve part. As materials for the elastic element can also Plastics, foams, silicone or rubber are used, which are attached to the inner circumferential surface of the sleeve part.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, dass sowohl in geschlossenem als auch in geöffnetem Zustand - also mit abgenommenem Deckel - die innenliegenden Kunststoffteile des Lippenpflegestiftes geschützt sind. Damit ist ein optimaler Schutz des Lippenpflegestifts gewährleistet. Der Behälter zur Aufbewahrung von Lippenpflegestiften ist sowohl in geschlossenem als auch in geöffnetem Zustand auf den ersten Blick von einem handelsüblichen Lippenpflegestift unterscheidbar und die Teile des Behälters eignen sich zur weiteren Individualisierung z.B. durch das Anbringen von Aufdrucken, Verzierungen etc.Another advantage of the present invention is that both in the closed and in the open state - ie with the lid removed - the inner plastic parts of the lip balm are protected. This ensures optimal protection of the lip balm. The container for storing lip balms is distinguishable in the closed and in the opened state at first glance from a commercially available lip balm and the parts of the container are suitable for further individualization, e.g. by the application of imprints, decorations etc.

Da der Behälter nur aus zwei Baugruppen besteht, nämlich dem Sockelteil mit dem daran befestigten Hülsenteil und dem über das Hülsenteil schiebbaren Deckel wird der Austausch des austauschbaren Teils des Lippenpflegestifts vereinfacht und ein Verlieren einzelner Teile des Behälters verhindert.Since the container consists of only two subassemblies, namely the base part with the sleeve part attached thereto and the cover which can be pushed over the sleeve part, the replacement of the exchangeable part of the lip care pen is simplified and the individual parts of the container are lost.

Ein Sockelteil, welches aus einem hohlzylinderförmigen Teil und einen daran lösbar befestigbaren Sockelboden besteht ist an der Innenmantelfläche des hohlzylinderförmigen Teils angeordnet und weist eine axiale Anschlagfläche sowie einen Distanzring und eine Verliersicherung auf. Der Distanzring weist am Innendurchmesser einen Absatz auf, in den der Bund eines Hülsenteils eingreift und der Aussendurchmesser des Distanzrings an der Anschlagfläche anliegt. Das hohlzylinderförmige Teil weist an der Innenmantelfläche mindestens eine Erhebung auf, wodurch der Distanzring im hohlzylinderförmigen Teil gehalten wird. Dies dient zur einfacheren Handhabung beim Austausch der Lippenpflegestifte. Der Kunststoffsockel des austauschbaren Teils ragt dabei aus dem hohlzylinderförmigen Teil heraus und kann bequem dem Behälter entnommen werden.A base part, which consists of a hollow cylindrical part and a base plate releasably securable thereto is arranged on the inner circumferential surface of the hollow cylindrical part and has an axial stop surface and a spacer ring and a captive. The spacer ring has a shoulder on the inner diameter, in which engages the collar of a sleeve part and the outer diameter of the spacer ring rests against the stop surface. The hollow cylindrical part has on the inner circumferential surface at least one elevation, whereby the spacer ring is held in the hollow cylindrical part. This is for easier handling when replacing the lip balm. The plastic base of the replaceable part protrudes from the hollow cylindrical part and can be easily removed from the container.

In dem Sockelboden ist ein Federelement angeordnet, welches vorteilhafterweise als Schraubenfeder ausgebildet ist. Das hohlzylinderförmige Teil ist mit dem Sockelboden durch einen Verschlussmechanismus verbunden. In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist das hohlzylinderförmige Teil mit dem Sockelboden lösbar verbunden. Dieser Verschlussmechanismus kann als Bajonettverschluss, Schraubverschluss, Magnetverschluss, Presspassung oder sonstige Ausführungsformen gebildet sein.In the base of the base, a spring element is arranged, which is advantageously designed as a helical spring. The hollow cylindrical part is connected to the base bottom by a shutter mechanism. In an advantageous embodiment, the hollow cylindrical part is detachably connected to the base bottom. This locking mechanism may be formed as a bayonet closure, screw cap, magnetic closure, press fit or other embodiments.

Für den Aufbau und Erhalt des Drucks zur Fixierung des Kunststoffsockels zwischen Anschlagfläche und Sockelboden kann eine Feder sowohl als auch ein Schraubverschluss oder im Sockelboden eingelassenes elastisches Material wie z.B. Schaumstoff, Gummi, Silikon oder weitere elastischen Kunststoffe verwendet werden.For the construction and preservation of the pressure for fixing the plastic base between the stop surface and base, a spring can be used as well as a screw cap or embedded in the base floor elastic material such as foam, rubber, silicone or other elastic plastics may be used.

Das hohlzylinderförmige Teil und der Deckel können magnetisch, mechanisch formund/oder kraftschlüssig verbunden sein. Vorteilhafterweise ist das hohlzylinderförmige Teil und/oder der Deckel mit einem metallischen Element ausgerüstet.The hollow cylindrical part and the cover can be connected magnetically, mechanically and / or non-positively.

By a shutter mechanism 12 between base bottom 1 and hollow cylindrical part 5, the pressure of the clamping device is maintained.

Die in dem Sockelboden eingelassene Feder 11 dient zur Fixierung des Kunststoffsockels 7a gegenüber der Anschlagfläche 8 des Distanzrings 2 im hohlzylinderförmigen Teil 5.The recessed in the base floor spring 11 serves to fix the plastic base 7a relative to the stop surface 8 of the spacer ring 2 in the hollow cylindrical part. 5

Das hohlzylinderförmige Teil 5 weist an den Innenmantelflächen ein oder mehrerer elastische Erhebungen 9 auf, wodurch eine unbeabsichtigte Entfernung des Hülsenteils 4 sowie eine unbeabsichtigte Entfernung des Distanzrings 2 aus dem hohlzylinderförmiges Teil 5 verhindert wird.The hollow cylindrical part 5 has on the inner lateral surfaces of one or more elastic elevations 9, whereby an unintentional removal of the sleeve part 4 and an unintentional removal of the spacer ring 2 from the hollow cylindrical part 5 is prevented.

Der Sockelboden 1 ist mit dem hohlzylinderförmigen Teil 5 über einen Verschlussmechanismus 12 verbunden. Durch den Verschlussmechanismus 12 ist der Kunststoffsockel 7a zwischen der Anschlagfläche 8 des Distanzrings 2 und der Feder 11 im Sockelboden 1 dauerhaft fixiert.The base bottom 1 is connected to the hollow cylindrical part 5 via a shutter mechanism 12. By the shutter mechanism 12 of the plastic base 7a between the stop surface 8 of the spacer ring 2 and the spring 11 in the base 1 is permanently fixed.

Ein elastisches Element 3 liegt an dem Hülsenteil 4 an dessen zylindrischer Innenmantelfläche an, das zur Fixierung der Kunststoffhülse 7b bei unterschiedlichen Außendurchmessern des Kunststoffhülse 7b dient. Die Spannkraft des elastischen Elements 3 muss so bemessen sein, dass die Kunststoffhülse 7b im Hülsenteil 4 so stark fixiert ist, dass eine Verdrehung zwischen Kunststoffhülse und Hülsenteil ausgeschlossen ist.An elastic element 3 rests against the sleeve part 4 on its cylindrical inner lateral surface, which serves to fix the plastic sleeve 7b at different outer diameters of the plastic sleeve 7b. The clamping force of the elastic element 3 must be dimensioned so that the plastic sleeve 7b is fixed in the sleeve part 4 so strong that a rotation between the plastic sleeve and sleeve part is excluded.

Im Deckel 6 sind im Deckelrand 18 magnetische Elemente 13 angeordnet. Das Sockelteil 16 weist an der dem Deckelrand 18 gegenüberliegenden Seite einen magnetischen Anschlag 14 auf, welcher auch als Pressring in das Sockelteil 16 eingelassen werden kann. Das magnetische Element 13 im Deckelrand 18 bildet zusammen mit dem magnetischen Anschlag 14 im Sockelteil 16 eine Verschlussvorrichtung zum Fixieren des Deckels 6 am Sockelteil 16 des Behälters 17.In the cover 6 18 magnetic elements 13 are arranged in the lid edge. The base part 16 has on the side opposite the lid edge 18 on a magnetic stop 14, which can be inserted as a press ring in the base part 16.
