  • the applicator element 3 for example, be less rigid, so that it can bend relative to the applicator axis A and thereby assume a curved shape, and in coordination with the flexibility of the holding elements 13 and 23 could by the sliding movement V a curvature or convex or concave shape of the applicator element 3 can be achieved.
  • At least one additional retaining element eg retaining pin, central web
  • at least one additional retaining element eg retaining pin, central web
  • Such an additional holding element 53 is in one embodiment in the already mentioned FIG. 13 and 14 shown and formed there in particular in the front region of the central actuator 50 and joins the front of the bearing portion 52 at. There, the holding element 53 supports a middle region or inner region 33 of the applicator element 3 at a tip or a front end via a third connection point P3.
  • FIG. 13 now shows a position in which the front end 22A of the bearing portion 22 of the second actuating element 22 is offset by the displacement .DELTA.L relative to the front end 12A of the bearing portion 12 of the first actuating element 10 to the front or moved. This creates a position and shape of the applicator element 3 with respect to the first connection point P1 forward approximately to the axial position of the third connection point P3 offset second connection point P2.
  • a transversely aligned portion of the applicator element 3 extends from the inner region 33 to the second end 32 and between the third connection point P3 and the first connection point P1 an obliquely to almost longitudinally rearwardly directed Part of the applicator element 3 from the inner region 33 to the first end 32, so that approximately an L-shape of the applicator element 3 results.
  • FIG. 14 shows a position in which the front end 22A of the bearing portion 22 of the second actuating element 22 is disposed or displaced approximately at the same axial position or flush with the front end 12A of the bearing portion 12 of the first actuating element 10. This creates a position and shape of the applicator element 3 with respect to the third connection point P3 axially offset by the same way to the rear first connection point P1 and second connection point P2.
  • an obliquely to almost longitudinally rearwardly oriented partial region of the applicator element 3 extends from the inner region 33 to the first end 32 or second end, so that approximately gives a V-shape of the applicator element 3.
  • the actuators 10 and 20 and possibly 50 via a folding multiple hinge or a film multiple hinge with each arranged one behind the other, respectively against each other about one axis of rotation pivoting or hinged or rotatable segments against each other, with one or two or more segments in a row ,
  • axially to the displacement movement V or longitudinal axis LA can be arranged and thereby different locking positions can be realized.
  • the other segment (s) are then pivoted to that row, similar to a track (curb chain) or segment chain.
  • the locking of the segments in the different locking positions can be supported by corresponding corresponding stops and / or by magnets.
