Definitions
- the invention relates to a cosmetic and in particular a mascara unit according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Typical cosmetic and mascara units of this type consist of a cosmetic or mascara applicator and a storage container.
- the cross section of the reservoir is usually round or approximately round, z. B. hexagonal or octagonal, while the reservoir usually has a considerable Warre- ckung in the direction of its longitudinal axis.
- the reservoir usually has the shape of an elongated cylindrical vial. At its top, the cylindrical vial in Re ⁇ gelfall has a neck that the removal opening for the Kosmetik upon. Mascara mass circumscribed.
- a typical Kosmetikapplikator for such cosmetic units consists of a handle and an elongated handle on which the handle facing away from the actual applicator is attached, which is usually a brush.
- the handle is also usually cylindrical and forms the rule ⁇ case at the same time a cap for closing the Kosmetikvorrat ⁇ container.
- the cap has mostly a Add ⁇ nengewinde that corresponds with a corresponding external thread on the neck of the reservoir and that allows to screw on the cap forming the handle close to the reservoir, while the stem is immersed with the applicator into the reservoir. In this way, the applicator and the reservoir can reliably connect tightly together.
- caps are occasionally used as a handle, which caps are pushed onto a corresponding, smooth-cylindrical neck of the cosmetic bottle with frictional engagement and with a certain radial prestress. the. Also in this way, the cosmetic applicator can be secured with the necessary reliability close to the reservoir. Despite the not inconsiderable bias between a pushed onto the reservoir cap, which leads to a corresponding friction, the cap can usually thereby again easily remove from the reservoir that you turn slightly when you peel off what the static friction decidedly reduced.
- Such modern cosmetic applicators are often not round or rotationally symmetrical, but rather flat and, in the broadest sense, spatula-like. They are not suitable for being reliably fixed to a cosmetic container by means of a thread.
- the cosmetic applicator can be securely fixed to the associated cosmetic reservoir without the need for this thread to be used for screwing.
- the applicator and the reservoir are designed so that the applicator can be set in its standby position to the reservoir so that it has a first region, with which it on the reservoir is fixed and a (in the direction along the not necessarily rectilinear longitudinal axis of the Appli ⁇ sector seen) spaced therefrom second region, with which it is also attached to the reservoir.
- a region of the applicator which is fixed to the storage container is only one such region which is connected in a frictionally and / or positively locking manner to the container such that it exerts not only compressive but also tensile forces on the container, when trying to disconnect the applicator from the reservoir. Therefore, for example, the edge of a screw or plug cap which rests flat against the neck of a storage bottle, not a specified area in the context of the invention.
- the first region is preferably the portion of the Ap ⁇ plikators, which is in the passage of the reservoir and is retained frictionally and / or positively by the walls of the passage or of the scraper used therein, or the separate Dichtungsele ⁇ ments used there.
- the second area is preferably a portion of the applicator handle which frictionally and / or positively locked to the reservoir - preferably characterized in that at least one raised portion of the reservoir form and / or frictionally einsp DrISSt in at least one recess of Ap ⁇ plikators or that at least one raised portion of the applicator mold and / or frictionally einsp DrISSt in min ⁇ least one recess of the reservoir.
- the distance between the first and second regions is at least a quarter of the total length of the applicator, including its stem and handle. If the applicator is curved or kinked, the total length of the applicator is that which results when one the center line of the applicator pursues and also runs along the curvature or the bend. Since the first and the second region are so far apart, they are able to fix the applicator particularly securely.
- Vorgese ⁇ hen that the applicator when it is in its standby position, not only in the region of the mouth of the Vorratsbefflel ⁇ ters is fixed to this, but at the same time in a remote area from the mouth.
- An area remote from the mouth is an area that is above the end of the mouth when the cosmetics unit is turned off so that the reservoir is down and the handle is up.
- An area which surrounds the mouth and thus lies at a height with the Mün ⁇ tion is not remote from the mouth area.
- the applicator has a handle and the handle, when the applicator assumes its standby position, preferably at least locally on the outer surface of the reservoir can be fixed, whereby the determination of the applicator can be brought into the muzzle remote area. It is normally so that the region in which the applicator is of the pre ⁇ rats container fixed at least locally, on the outer surface of either the bottle neck of the pre ⁇ is rats container, yet surrounds the scraper. Rather, should said area is actually an area that is not in direct communication with the bottleneck.
- the applicator is a flat applicator which has at least two large main surfaces and at least three small secondary surfaces standing approximately perpendicularly thereto, which optionally can also be rounded.
- the surface of each of the individual ⁇ of the major surfaces is greater than the surface area of each of the side surfaces normally at least a factor. 5
- a flat spatula-like applicator is created, which is very good in the hand and allows a novel application feeling, especially when applying mascara.
- the Vorratsbenzol ⁇ ter is not along a single axis rotationally symmetrical or quasi rotational symmetry (hexagon, octagon, etc.). Instead, the reservoir is usually a non-rotationally symmetrical body.
- the movable relative to the reservoir part of the handle of the cosmetic applicator can be inserted into a recess provided for this purpose of the reservoir to bring the handle in its stowed position.
- said insertion is performed such that the concern ⁇ de part of the handle does not protrude at all or only insignificantly beyond the outer contour of the reservoir enveloping planes or surfaces.
- such a trough can provide the opportunity to increase the intensity with which the applicator is fixed to the reservoir. This is true when between the handle and the receiving trough frictional and / or positive fit is vorgese ⁇ hen, so that the trough gives the picked up by her part of the applicator additional support.
- the applicator comprises two parts, which are connected to one another by a hinge. In this way, a portion of the applicator can be pivoted relative to the reservoir despite the partial immersion of the applicator in the reservoir and thereby introduced in the muzzle remote area to the reservoir and fixed there. Applicator and reservoir can therefore be brought together by flaps in engagement.
- such a folding applicator has two parts, namely an actual applicator with a trim for applying the cosmetic on the hereby behan ⁇ delnde lot and a handle part.
- the actual applicator is inserted in such a manner in the storage container to seal the mouth of the reservoir and yet re ⁇ tively movable in rotation to the reservoir about a pivot axis D, while the handle part ne ⁇ ben the axis of rotation D is arranged at least predominantly side, so that the Gripping part pivoted by rotation of the actual applicator about the rotation axis D relative to the reservoir and thereby brought in the muzzle remote area to the reservoir and there can be additionally determined.
- the storage container preferably has two different sections, namely a hollow section for storing the cosmetic and one non-hollow section protruding therefrom, preferably in the manner of a flag, for fixing the applicator in the region of the storage container remote from the mouth.
- a projecting in the manner of an arm or a flag portion of the reservoir can be relatively easily create a region of the reservoir, ge ⁇ gen a part of the applicator can be flush mounted so that it is possible here an additional frictional and / or positive locking of the two parts, namely the ent ⁇ speaking part of the reservoir and the Provide applicator.
- the applicator is an enlarged, preferably a wedge or cone-like thickened portion on ⁇ has, the elastically biases extending along a periphery against a portion of an inserted releasing into the mouth of the reservoir ⁇ th scraper or sealing element, once the Ap ⁇ Multiplier is inserted with an emphasis in the reservoir, which is required to bring the applicator to its standby position on the reservoir.
- the invention also has another aspect.
- a cosmetic and especially mascara unit with an applicator and a reservoir into which the applicator dips when it is in the ready position.
- the applicator can be set to the reservoir so that it closes the passage through which the cosmetic is removed when applying make-up.
- the storage container according to the invention is characterized in that it has a pivotable positive locking element.
- This form-locking element can be the Kosmetikmas ⁇ se before rate operative part of the storage container are pivoted in a first posi tion ⁇ relatively. In this position, it prevents the applicator from being separated from the reservoir and in particular from being pulled out of the reservoir.
- the positive-locking element can be pivoted to a second position in which it releases the applicator.
- the interlocking element preferably has the shape of a pivotable collar, which can be pivoted so that it engages over the applicator and preferably pressed or can be pivoted so that it completely releases the applicator.
- the positive-locking element has locking members which, when the positive-locking element is brought into its closed position with the applicator removed, overlap the free opening cross-section of the passage or the free opening cross-section of the container neck into which the applicator is inserted. when he is in his stowed position.
- the positive connection element thus forms here a veritable barrier, which not only acts on the edge of the applicator, but overlaps the applicator over the mouth of the passageway. This ensures a particularly effective fixing of the applicator.
- the reservoir has two large main surfaces and these opposite smaller side surfaces.
- the main surfaces are at least a factor of 3 larger than the side surfaces.
- the form-locking element can be pivoted about an axis FA, which is parallel to one of the major soflä ⁇ surfaces and substantially perpendicular to the axis (NaEM ⁇ Lich the insertion axis E) runs, along which the Applika ⁇ tor through the passage in the Reservoir can be inserted. In this way, an easily operable form-locking element is created, which also signals visually immediately whether the applicator is properly fixed on the reservoir or not.
- the interlocking element has locking members which are arranged and configured such that they convert the predominantly perpendicular to the insertion axis E pivotal movement of the interlocking element in their impact on the applicator in a compressive force, which in the ⁇ acts parallel to the insertion axis E and the appli ⁇ tor presses into its seat on the reservoir.
- the user or Be ⁇ must make the user explicitly thoughts on this will presses the applicator with the necessary sealing pressure overall in his seat at the cosmetics reservoir is easily and without, ensured.
- the locking members integral integral are part of the interlocking element and that the Verriege ⁇ ment organs form a gap between them, which fills the applicator when the interlocking element is in its locking position.
- the applicator is set at several points simultaneously and preferably also pressed in several places in his seat in the reservoir, so that to a great extent the tightness is ensured.
- the locking members have Rastmit ⁇ tel, with which they lock on the applicator, so that the positive-locking element is prevented from unwanted movement in the opening direction.
- the positive locking element is at least predominantly formed by a plate-shaped body having two major major surfaces and compared to much smaller side surfaces.
- the area of the large main surfaces is at least a factor 5, more preferably at least a factor 7.5 larger than the area per ⁇ that of the small side faces.

- Figure 18 the applicator of the third embodiment by itself, isolated.
- the reservoir of this exemplary embodiment according to the invention is designed differently than is known from most previously known cosmetic reservoirs which cooperate with an applicator.
- the reservoir 2 is not cylindrical and not hexagonal or octagonal, so not “quasi rotationally symmetric" and he also has no elongate extent along a longitudinal axis. Instead, it has a blocky shape. This shape roughly corresponds to the shape of a cuboid with a one-sided chamfer.
- the reservoir 2 also has no neck in the strict sense, as known from the usual bottle-like reservoirs ago. Instead, it has in one of its main surfaces a window-like opening through which a part of an applicator 3 can be pushed into the reservoir.
- the storage container is preferably made of several parts, namely, a first part 2a and a second part 2b which is preferably locked or glued to it.
- the reservoir has a large volume perception ⁇ res, which can serve for the storage of cosmetic composition completely or which is preferably divided by an intermediate wall, which is indicated here by the line Zw in volumes separated from each other. Of these volumes only one serves for the storage of cosmetics.
- the already mentioned fens ⁇ terartige opening through which the cosmetic applicator can be pushed into the interior of the reservoir 2, will henceforth be called passage 4.
- a scraper 5 is inserted and fixed there.
- the part is pushed by the stripper and into the reservoir 2 of the Applika ⁇ tors, a preferably wedge-shaped thickened portion 6.
- nothing can leak from the cosmetic stored in the storage container 2.
- the scraper 5 is preferably made of a material that is so soft or yielding that between the scraper and the inserted into it part of the applicator or the Thickened area 6, a continuous contact between the scraper and the applicator occurs - at least along a circumferential direction of the applicator in itself closed line.
- the special feature of the applicator 3 is its multi-part design.
- the applicator is brieflyi ⁇ lig. It consists of an actual, first applicator part 3a, which has the required for applying the cosmetic trim 6a. Furthermore, it consists of a second applicator part 3b, which serves here as a handle of the applicator.
- These two applicator parts are connected to each other by a hinge 7. As best seen with reference to FIG 1, it is in this hinge preferably is a equipped with at least one hinge pin hinge, which engages in at least one respective hinge eye a ⁇ and thus enables a smooth pivoting also ei ⁇ NEN large angle.
- the hinge is preferably designed so that it has a ⁇ nere friction or stiffness, which is so large that the two connected by the hinge applicator parts during application substantially maintain the position relative to each other, in which they the user or the User has brought.
- FIG. 2 shows the cosmetic unit 1 according to the invention in the moment in which the applicator 3 moves in the direction along the Arrow P is inserted into the reservoir 2. It is necessary to apply a certain pressure in order to bring the applicator 3 into full contact with the scraper 5. This lush spreading of the applicator 3 in the stripper 5 leads to a first determination of the applicator 3 relative to the reservoir 2. This determination will be purely frictional nature as a rule. But it can also be provided a locking device, the click or jerk signals the user that the applicator 3 has now been inserted deep enough in the wiper 5 to ensure tightness.
- this first determination is purely frictional nature or form-fitting comes to use, it is such that this first determination alone would often not be enough to such an applicator, as in question, really so safe to attach to the reservoir 2, that accidental release of the applicator from its seat in the reservoir and the associated, very unpleasant leakage of the cosmetic is reliably prevented.
- the reservoir preferably has the passage 4 on its side side facing a trough 8, ie a region in which the surface of the reservoir 2 is recessed against the adjoining ⁇ the surface areas, that is, springs back to the inside.
- This trough is, as is seen from the figure 2 view, provided for receiving a portion of the second applicator 3b ⁇ .
- the trough is so deep that it is possible to insert the said part of the second applicator part 3b substantially completely into the trough, so that the part of the second applicator part 3b inserted in the trough substantially no longer projects beyond the outer contour of the storage container 2 ⁇ if in the area in which it is inserted in the trough, cf. FIG. 4.
- the reservoir 2 in addition to a locking member that, as shown here, preferably in the form of a pin 9 is formed from ⁇ .
- a recess in the handle of the applicator 3 is provided, in which it is advantageously in the present case in this case is a through ⁇ hole.
- the recess 10 and the pin 9 are aligned so that the pin 9 frictionally or vorzugswei ⁇ se even latching with the recess 10 engages as soon as the second applicator 3b has been fully applied to the storage tank 2 ⁇ .
- the applicator 3 is securely held in its standby position on and in the reservoir 2. For he is in at least two different and not directly in contact with each other, but in the direction along the longitudinal axis L of the applicator completely separate ⁇ th areas fixed to the reservoir 2.
- the second area is the loading ⁇ area of the recess 10 in the handle of the applicator 3 which comes with the pin 9 positively and / or frictionally engaged.
- the first and the second region are clearly separated from one another in the direction of the applicator longitudinal axis L (as one sees, not necessarily straight), and in particular arranged one behind the other, cf. 2.
- Figs. The first and the second region, as one proceeds in the direction of Applikatorlhacks- axis, by an amount away from each other, which makes at least 50% of the total length of the applicator in the direction along the longitudinal axis does not necessarily straight from ⁇ .
- an additional fixing of the applicator 3 with respect to the storage container 2 is preferably also achieved by the depression 8.
- the trough in a region which corresponds approximately to the bottom third of the second applicator 3b is greater than the corresponding applicator and therefore does not frictionally or form-fitting determines.
- the upper part of the trough which in the present embodiment approximately accommodates the central region of the second applicator part 3b, is designed so that the side walls of the trough rest against the flanks of the second applicator part 3b. In this case, at least a frictional connection can occur between the corresponding section of the second applicator part 3b and the storage container, which ensures additional fixing.
- trough laterally delimiting walls for locking between the trough walls and the flanks of the second applicator.
- locking members can also be provided explicitly locking members here, such as a locking strip at the edge of the second applicator portion 3b and a korres ⁇ pondierende locking recess in the respective the cavity defining side wall.
- the first applicator 3a carries a stocking 6a, which is preferably made integrally molded at these first Ap ⁇ plikatorteil 3a bristles.
- these bristles are all or at least predominantly aligned over ⁇ so that their longitudinal axis bristle pa rallel ⁇ or at least substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis ⁇ LAI of the first applicator 3a, see FIG. Fig. 2.
- the bristles form rows, the bristles having a different bristle length from row to row.
- the applicator 3 or the second applicator part 3b and the trough 8 are formed in such a way that a force K acting in the direction of the longitudinal axis LA2 of the second applicator part (see Figure 3) tends to lead to a stronger definition of the applicator 3 in the storage container 2 - namely because the inserted into the hollow portion of the second Applika ⁇ torteils 3b against which the trough side walls collapsing begren ⁇ wedged tend.
- the second applicator 3b about its center and here in egg ⁇ nem area which divides it "one-third to two-thirds" (see. Fig. 3), a constriction, ie a place where its width is minimal. This helps to create a good hand-held applicator. This constriction is absorbed by the outer shape of the reservoir, which leads to a likewise well in stock Vorratsbefflel ⁇ ter, which does not "bulky” despite its large, available for the storage of cosmetics mass volume.
- the Mascaraappli- cator applicator is preferably a Ge ⁇ total length L for which the following applies: 25 mm ⁇ overall length -S 60 mm.
- the thickness di of the existing not from part of the bristles Applika ⁇ tors -S preferably 7 mm, and ideally -S 5 mm, see FIG. FIG. 5.
- the width B of the applicator is preferably less than 35 mm, cf. also FIG. 5.
- the passage 4 does not have a round or polygonal-round shape, but is essentially rectangular with a maximum extent adapted to the width B of the applicator.
- the stocking consists of bristles, which are arranged one behind the other in rows along a bristle line BL, see also FIG. 1.
- a bristle line BL Preferably, at least three rows of bristles are placed next to one another.
- each of the bristle lines BL is not absolutely straight but slightly crescent-shaped, as best seen in FIG. This results in particular advantages if this cosmetic applicator is to be used for the application of mascara.
- the trimming is then adapted to the course of the eyelash curvature and allows the applicator to be guided from the front (frontally from the tip of the nose) to the eyelash curvature, and preferably at the same time to treat almost all eyelashes of the eyelash curl with the mascara.
- FIGS. 6 to 10 A second exemplary embodiment is shown in FIGS. 6 to 10.
- the Appli ⁇ kator shown in the context of this embodiment is (in terms of its application behavior) compared with the applicator shown in the first embodiment quite different. However, there is no relevant difference with respect to the basic way in which the applicator is attached to the reservoir.
- This applicator 11 likewise consists of a first applicator part IIa and a second applicator part IIb, cf. Fig. 11. These two Applikatormaschine need not necessarily be multi-piece, it may also be advantageous to handle different parts of a single one-piece applicator. But the two applicator portions are at least ⁇ functionally different.
- the first applicator part is preferably designed as a substantially cylindrical or at least essentially rotationally symmetrical body having a longitudinal axis LA 3.
- the second applicator IIb is designed as the actual handle, which preferably has two large main surfaces and ⁇ least three small side faces, thus shows a plate-like or ⁇ interchangeiförmige shape.
- the second Applika ⁇ torteil IIb has a longitudinal axis LA 4.
- the longitudinal axis LA of the second applicator 4 is perpendicular or at least substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis LA 3 of the first applicator.
- the first applicator part carries a trim of preferably injection-molded bristles.
- the bristles form at least one row of bristles, ie they are placed one behind the other along a bristle line. Ideally, even a plurality of bristle rows are present, that is, a plurality of rows of along a line behind one another in the direction along the longitudinal axis LA 2 bristles.
- the statements made above for the bristles of the first exemplary embodiment apply here correspondingly (preferred). te embodiment)
- the first applicator IIa is attached via an arm 14 to the second applicator IIb, so that the first Appli ⁇ katorteil forms a cantilever, which is connected on one side to the arm 14 and otherwise cantilevered from the arm.
- This particular type of construction allows the first applicator part to be inserted into a cosmetic container, as shown in FIG. 10, by a movement that runs essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis LA 4 of the second applicator part IIb.
- the first applicator IIa is almost full ⁇ constantly inserted into the cosmetic container 2 may be form-fitting section 12 begins in a corresponding portion of the wiper held in the passage 4 of the hopper intervene 5 and to clamp elastically against the corresponding portion of the scraper that on the one hand the reservoir 2 is reliably sealed and on the other hand the first applicator part IIa is fixed to the pre ⁇ storage container 2, without losing its ability to Rota ⁇ tion.
- This definition is frictional and / or positive.
- the reservoir is designed so that it comprises two different ⁇ Liche sections. Namely, it comprises a well-recognizable hollow portion 2a for storing cosmetics and one of them, preferably projecting in the manner of a flag, preferably non-hollow portion for fixing the applicator in remote area or from the passage 4 remote area of the reservoir.
- the second applicator part IIb can be moved along the arrow S2 (FIG. 6) to the non-hollow section 2b of the storage container until it preferably lies flat against it.
- the applicator 11 is also provided with a recess 10.
- the portion 2b of the reservoir is in turn provided with a pin or a comparable locking element.
- the pin 9 settles in the recess 10 a.
- numerals from ⁇ it can also generalize here say that between ⁇ the first and the second area a distance of at least 8 mm, better of at least 16 mm and ideally of at least 25 mm or even 30 mm.
- the applicator 11 is fixed to the reservoir 2 so that it can not pivot so that it dissolves from the reservoir 2, nor that it can be moved relative to the reservoir so that the positive connection portion 12 except Engagement with the corresponding portion of the scraper comes against the form-fitting portion 12 seals.
- the form-fitting section does not necessarily have to seal against a region of the scraper. Rather, it is also possible, at least in theory, to use a separate sealing element instead of a corresponding collar section of the wiper and to fix it in the passage. This also applies to the first embodiment.
- Figures 12 to 17 show a third embodiment of a cosmetic unit according to the invention.
- This cosmetic unit 1 also consists of a reservoir 2 and an applicator 3.
- the applicator 3 is preferably also designed in this embodiment as a flat, plate-like or spatula-like body having two major major surfaces and at least three narrow side surfaces plus a fourth narrow side surface, wearing a bristle trim.
- the area of each of the major major surfaces is at least a factor of 5 larger than the area of each of the small lateral surfaces.
- the bristles also consists preferably einstü ⁇ one piece injection-molded bristles. These bristles are preferably arranged in rows, ie arranged so that in each case ei ⁇ ne number of bristles is aligned in a line. Here, preferably four to six rows of bristles are provided. These rows of bristles preferably extend in one Angle of 180 ° C around the bristle-occupied narrow face of the applicator around, as shown in FIG 18 shows.
- This applicator also has a preferably wedge-shaped thickened region 6, which is matched to the wiper 5 by its dimensions.
- This thickened region 6 is intended to be clamped against a corresponding portion of the scraper and then to form a reliable Ab ⁇ seal, which prevents cosmetics from leaking out of the reservoir to the outside.
- Abstrei ⁇ For the design of this thickened region 6 and the design of Abstrei ⁇ fers the above applies. The same applies to the fact that instead of the corresponding sealing area on the scraper and a scraper and an additional, separate seal pre ⁇ see, that can be fixed in the passage 4.
- Vorratsbe ⁇ container is also made in two parts here.
- a first part 16a of the storage ⁇ container forms the actual storage space for the cosmetic and a second part 16b of the reservoir forms here a pivotable positive locking element.
- the first part 16a of the reservoir and the second part 16b of the reservoir in this exemplary embodiment ⁇ are connected by a real hinge.
- at least one hinge eye 17 is provided on the reservoir, into which at least one hinge pin 18 engages. In this way, an easy-to-use, very reliable hinge is created, which can transmit larger forces.
- the hinge is attached to the lower end of the storage container facing away from the passage 4.
- the positive-locking element covers a substantially complete side surface of the storage container. too complete - preferably one of the large side surfaces.
- the form-fitting element designed in this way clearly indicates whether or not the applicator is properly set relative to the storage container.
- such a decor with dark ⁇ tetes form-locking element is relatively large and therefore can be very readily with one hand, although the cosmetic unit is relatively delicate as a whole, especially if it han ⁇ delt a cosmetics unit for applying mascara.
- the pivotable form-fitting element may consist of a position in which it will be the Ap ⁇ Multiplier not prevented from being withdrawn from the storage container, is pivoted to a second position in which it the applicator to the reservoir sets.
- the interlocking element is provided with two locking members 15 which have the shape of two spring arms in this embodiment. In the areas in which the interlocking element carries the locking members, it has a substantially li ⁇ shaped cross section, see. Fig. 12. These spring arms are in the manner of cantilevers from the second container part 16b. These two spring arms or locking members each engage over a shoulder 19 or, more generally speaking, another corresponding latching surface of the applicator 3. In this way, the applicator is secured relative to the reservoir 16.
- the interlocking elements 15 are dimensioned and arranged so that they are deformed by being elastically deformed over the shoulder 19 of the applicator 3, by a certain amount.
- the locking members 15 are designed so that they each form a detent recess or, more generally, a detent member which engages with the shoulder of the applicator. This ensures that the can not be inadvertently stripped from the shoulder 19 of the applicator Ver ⁇ riege lung organs, ie the applica ⁇ tor is not inadvertently released.
- hinge hinge eyes 17 and at least one hinge pin 18 must be used - even if such a hinge is optimal and not too great difficulties during assembly prepares because the Scharni Vogel ⁇ conditions are preferably slotted, so that the hinge pin can be clipped into it from the side.
- the second part of the container is preferably provided approximately at the height of the locking members with an actuator 20 behind which a part of the finger of the operator or the operator can hook to release the positive locking element from its locking position and by pivoting disengage with the applicator.
- the method described the ⁇ ses specific embodiment under form fit ⁇ element to a majority of, and preferably is even formed We ⁇ sentlichen by a plate-shaped body having two large main surfaces 21 and substantially smaller as compared to side surfaces 22 - the area of each of the major major surfaces 21 will typically be at least a factor of 5, more preferably at least a factor of 7.5 greater than the area of each of the small side surfaces 22, the term "side surfaces" encompassing all four lateral surfaces.
- the plate-shaped body covers at least half of a large side surface of the storage container in the closed position of the positive-locking element .
- the thickness of the plate-shaped body perpendicular to the large area of the plate is about 0.8 mm to 2.4 mm.
- Such a designed form-locking element can be easily comparatively strongly ge ⁇ suppressed because of its large surfaces with a hand in the direction of the first part 16a of the reservoir.
- the locking members 15 set the high compressive force which is applied to the positive-locking element into a likewise remarkably strong compressive force with which the applicator is firmly pressed into its seat on the first part of the storage container.
- the plate-like design of the positive-locking element also has the great advantage that two positive locking elements 15 can be brought into or out of engagement with the applicator with a single pivoting movement.
- the applicator is locked with a single pressure on the positive locking element at two opposite on both sides of the applicator points, so that a really secure hold of the applicator is ensured on the reservoir.
- Isolated protection ie protection on its own, is also claimed for a cosmetic and in particular mascara unit, with an applicator (2) and a storage container (1) into which the applicator (2) dips when it is in the ready position, wherein the applicator (2) can be fixed without threading to the reservoir (1), wherein the applicator (2), when it assumes its standby position, not only in the region of the mouth of the reservoir (1) is fixed thereto, but in addition to a remote area from the mouth.
- Such a construction should also be protected without reference to other claims.
- independent protection is claimed for a cosmetic and mascara unit with an applicator (2) and a reservoir (1), in which the Appliakor (2) is immersed when it is in the ready position, wherein the applicator (2 ) to the reservoir
- the reservoir (1) comprises a pivotable positive locking element which can be pivoted relative to the cosmetic mass vorratsenden part of the reservoir (1) in a first position, the it prevents the applicator (2) from the reservoir
- a preferred embodiment of all variants of the invention is designed so that the two parts of the applicator, which are pivotally connected relative to each other, connected to each other and configured so that they are not more than 160 ° and preferably not more than 120 ° relative must be pivoted to each other to bring them from a relatively completely stretched position to a stowed position, in which both parts are fixed directly to the housing.
