  • the applicator 56 can be designed to be rotationally symmetrical overall about the longitudinal axis 8.
  • the first length L 1 for the radial elements 58 is variable.
  • the first lengths L 1 of the radial elements 58 give a substantially curved, in Fig. 10 Dashed contour 60 before. It is also possible that the contour is linear, ie a surface formed therefrom is conically shaped.
  • the second lengths L 2 are substantially equal along the applicator longitudinal axis 8.
  • the applicator 56 has improved structural elasticity due to the configuration with the radial elements 58 and the intermediate spaces 59 therebetween. In particular, it is possible that the applicator 56 can be bent around the applicator longitudinal axis 8.
  • the flexibility may be influenced by the configuration of the first length L 1 and the second length L 2 of the respective radial elements 58. In general, the applicator 56 is all the stiffer, the greater the first or the second length is selected. This means that the applicator 56 in a direction perpendicular to the ApplikatorlFigsachse 8 in Fig. 11 has a greater elasticity and flexibility than in a direction perpendicular to the ApplikatorlFig. 10 ,
  • the applicator 56 may have a coating in the form of a flock according to the previous embodiments. Basically, for the embodiments shown, any combinations of the individual features of the embodiments shown are conceivable. In particular, it is possible to use the in 10 and 11 shown applicator unit 55 with an integrally molded connecting element in the form of a closure cap instead of a stop element provided.
  • FIGS. 12 and 13 show a further embodiment of an applicator unit. Components which correspond to those described above with reference to Fig. 1 to 11 have the same reference numbers and will not be discussed again in detail.
  • the applicator unit 61 differs from the preceding embodiments by the design of the applicator support body 62, the stop element 63 and the non-round cross-sectional shape as anti-rotation 64. Some or all of these, discussed in more detail below feature differences can also in the above with reference to the Fig. 1 to 11 explained applicator units are used.
  • the applicator unit 61 and in particular the applicator support body 62 have a solid cross-section perpendicular to the applicator longitudinal axis 8.
  • the applicator support body 62 is tapered conically towards the applicator 65.
  • a circular cross-sectional area of the applicator support body 62 has a first diameter d 1 greater than a second diameter d 2 of the applicator support body 62 at an end facing the applicator 65.
  • the first diameter d 1 is 5.85 mm.
  • the second diameter d 2 is 5.0 mm.
  • the result is a Konizticians angle k of about 0.85 °.
  • the taper of the Applikatortragores 62 serves a better, especially easier removal of the applicator 62 after injection molding.
  • the flocking of the applicator 65 has a flock density of 3.3 dtex and fibers with a fiber length of 1.2 mm.
  • the abutment member 63 is not sleeve-like but pin-like contrary to the embodiment described above.
  • the stop element 63 has a pin 66.
  • the pin 66 is cylindrical with respect to the Applikatorlticiansachse 8 and has at a free end, which is arranged opposite the Vercardschutz 64, a sprue section 67 on.
  • the sprue portion 67 is for injecting a molten plastic melt during the injection molding process to produce the applicator support body 62.
  • the diameter d z of the spigot 66 is selected so that a spring serving to urge the applicator unit 61 with a spring force can surround the spigot.
  • such a spring is designed as a helical spring, so that the pin can dive into an inner hollow portion of the spring.
  • the stop element 63 further has a perpendicular to the Applikatorlticiansachse 8 oriented, annular disk-shaped contact surface 68 as a shoulder.
  • the abutment surface 68 serves to apply the spring to the abutment member 63 to urge the applicator unit 61 with a spring force.
  • a length L z of the pin 66 along the applicator longitudinal axis 8 is dimensioned such that the spring is securely guided on the stop element 63 for acting on the applicator unit 61 with a spring force.
  • the stopper member 63 is made stable.
  • the stop element 63 can be injection-molded over the entire area via the central sprue section 67, demoulding of the applicator carrier 62 after the injection molding process is simplified. In particular, it is not necessary to separate the applicator support body 62 from a molded part after the injection molding process. It is possible to remove a multiplicity of injection-molded applicator bodies 62, which are connected to one another by means of a common injection molding, from an injection molding tool and subsequently to flock the applicator support bodies 62 in a common working step. The manufacturing process, in particular the handling of the applicator support body 62 produced in the injection molding process and a subsequent flocking process of the applicator support body 62 are significantly simplified.
  • the twist protection 64 is opposite to in FIG Fig. 3 shown twist protection changed that not guide webs, but guide grooves 69 are provided.

  • the design of the geometry of the guide grooves 69, ie, a substantially oriented in the circumferential direction groove width and a substantially relative to the Applikatorlijnsachse 8 radially oriented groove depth are selected such that a secure linear guide of the applicator unit 61 is ensured in a cosmetic pencil.
  • the guide grooves 69 of the anti-rotation 64 correspond with guide webs on the cosmetic pencil.
  • the groove flanks 70 can have a radially outwardly directed, increasing groove opening angle n.
  • the groove opening angle n indicates an inclination of the groove flanks 70.
