Definitions
- the invention is directed to scrapers for stripping a Kosmetikapplikators with a first component, in particular a holding portion, for setting the scraper on a cosmetic reservoir, and at least two arranged thereon and stripping acting Abstreiferarmen.
- the invention is directed to methods for producing such a scraper.
- the invention is directed to cosmetic unit with a cosmetic reservoir, an applicator, a cap and a mounted in the neck or in the removal opening of the cosmetic reservoir wiper for stripping of cosmetic mass from the applicator.
- Such a scraper is used for stripping excess cosmetic composition from an applicator, which is immersed in the cosmetic composition and then pulled out through the scraper through from the cosmetics stock to apply a certain amount of the cosmetic, preferably without blobbing.
- the invention relates to a scraper for applicators of lip gloss or mascara mass.
- Such an applicator usually consists of an attached at its one end actual applicator, often designed as a bristle facing, and an attached at its opposite end applicator handle, in which often the
- Applicator handle is also designed as a screw cap. Connected are the applicator section and the applicator handle with an applicator handle, which is positioned movably in the center of the scraper inserted into the mouth of the applicator or cosmetic reservoir when placed in an applicator container or cosmetic reservoir containing the supply of cosmetic mass.
- Applicator section which consists predominantly of a bristle trim, is connected to the applicator handle.
- US 2005/0095052 Al already discloses a scraper which comprises a fixed holding section to be fixed in an opening of an applicator container to a flexible scraper arm formed thereon and forming a circle segment.
- the flexible scraper arm can be moved with an actuating means such that the distal applicator container inside diameter of the scraper is thereby changed.
- the disadvantage here is that the flexible Abstreiferarm must be operated from the outside.
- the invention has for its object to provide a solution that provides a scraper, in which the intensity of the stripping and the resistance that the scraper opposes the withdrawal of the applicator and the actual applicator, are in a favorable relationship and an actuation of Outside to achieve a change in the distal applicator container inside diameter of the scraper is not necessary.
- this object is achieved in that at least one of the Abstreiferarme means of at least one hinge is attached to the first component, in particular the holding portion.
- a cosmetic unit comprising a cosmetic storage container, an applicator, a closure cap and a scraper (1) mounted in the neck or in the removal opening of the cosmetic storage container for stripping the cosmetic mass from the applicator, wherein the scraper (1) according to one of claims 1 - 11 is formed and / or produced by one of the method according to claim 12 or 13.
- the scraper has a first component usually in the form of a holding portion for fixing the scraper to a cosmetic reservoir.
- the scraper on at least two stripping acting Abstreiferarme.

- the hinge axis, d. H. the pivot axis represents i. d. R. is a straight line which, when projected into the plane in which the longitudinal axis L is located, is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis.
- Abstreiferarm Since it does not initially depend on the concrete design of the Abstreiferarms for the hinge connection essential to the invention, the term “Abstreiferarm” is far and describes any strip, section, or wiper wall portion hinged to a wiper component, unless otherwise stated later in this description, by reference to a wiper arm in the strict sense.
- the term “Abstreiferarm” but in no case only the actual wiper lip, which protrudes as a thinner executed section of the actual Abstreifer emotions, but preferably a part of the actual Abstreifer stressess, usually less than 12.5 ° relative to the Longitudinal axis is inclined, which carries at its distal end or in its distal end immediately adjacent third part of the possibly more obliquely inwardly extending wiper lip and only makes up a part of the Abstreiferlingers.
- the hinge attachment has the great advantage that the scraper arms can be specifically designed so that they can swing defined defined under the influence of the forces occurring in the application to the outside and thereby the maximum force can be limited, which acts on the bristle stocking when the Applicator is moved through the scraper. This is particularly important when the scraper is to work with an applicator carrying a trim of molded bristles that runs the risk of being damaged by overly harsh stripping.
- such a scraper comes with a larger diameter range of possible applicators to right, so can work together with a significantly larger number of different diameter applicators and cooperate whose diameter vary much more than the diameter range of the "standard" - applicators, to a given standard scraper fit.
- the magnitude of the resistance which a scraper arm articulated according to the invention opposes to being pushed outwards can in many cases already be set with sufficient accuracy and in a simple manner by suitable dimensioning of the hinge, at least when using an integral hinge which is a specially designed component in FIG the wall area of a Abstreiferarms is integrated.
- the at least one hinge - is a classic hinge made of rod and pin or axle and z.

- proximal refers to the side of the scraper, in the longitudinal direction of the edge of the removal opening of the scraper Cosmetic container or cosmetic reservoir is closest.
- the scraper 1 consists of a holding section 2 and at least two, in the exemplary embodiment exactly two first scraper arms 3, which in turn comprise a first handle portion 4 and a ring portion 5 arranged thereon. Furthermore, in the circumferential direction of the substantially rotationally symmetric, im
- the second stripping arms 3a each have a second handle portion 4a. While in each case a ring portion 5 is integrally formed on the first stem sections 4, such is missing at the second stem portions 4a.
- the second handle sections 4a of the second wiper arms 3a each fit into a respective window 9a extending between two first handle sections 4 of the first wiper arms 3 and above a ring arm 8 of the ring sections 5.
- the holding section 2 generally has a substantially (to tolerances) cylindrical shape and is usually completely closed in the circumferential direction.
- the holding section 2 defines with its center or its center the central AbstreiferlFigsachse L.
- Fig. 1 provides the best overview of these hinges 12, while the details of the hinges can best be seen with reference to Figs. Clear over all other types of hinges preferred is the integral design of the hinge, as shown in FIG. 5. In this case, the design is preferably selected as a film hinge.
- Such a film hinge is usually designed so that it forms a local, limited to the actual hinge body thin spot 15 at which the wall thickness WS - in the present embodiment of holding section 2 and an adjacent first and second handle section 4, 4a of a first or second Abstreiferarms 3, 3a with respect to the wall thickness WK the immediate, bilateral environment - in the present embodiment of
- Circumferential circumferential, incision E is realized. This wholly or possibly also substantially vertical drop in relation to the longitudinal axis L can be clearly seen in FIGS. 5 and 5a. In this way results in a significant local stress concentration, which increases the effect of the bending moment occurring during use, which tries to pivot the stem sections 4, 4a outwardly.
- the wall thickness of the respective stem section 4, 4a or of a projection 10 is reduced distally below the respective associated hinge 12.
- the local, shown in Figs. 1 and 2 usually in the circumferential direction at least at the border to the hinge plane flat 14 results.
- Such a flattening 14 allows a straight-line connection of a respective hinge (12) to the respective stem portion 4, 4a or a respective projection 10 - whereby a more easily actuated, because pronounced rectilinear pivot axis can be realized.
- 3a protrude at least approximately at right angles with respect to the longitudinal axis L from the holding portion 2 of the scraper 1, sprayed, then accounts for the undercuts in the shape of the incisions E and the window 9a, 9b and it suffices an injection mold which usually only in a plane across or must be divided perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L. This is shown for a second Abstreiferarm 3a with projection 10th
- Projections 10 are injected in the end position shown in the right part of Fig. 6, which they take later on the finished scraper.
- the course of the outer surface and outer contour and the relevant respective hinge 12, which is oriented inwardly toward the longitudinal axis L at an angle inwards towards the distal end of the scraper 1 then permits a certain, temporary deflection of the Handle sections 4, 4a and or the protrusions during molding.
- the relevant hinge 12 does not extend along the entire stem portion 4, 4a or the entire foot region of a stem portion 4, 4a, but instead has a limited extent in the circumferential direction, preferably less than 3 mm.
- each handle section 4, 4a has only one such hinge 12, that in the circumferential direction as seen in the middle of it, as can be seen in FIG. 1 and 2 can also be seen that in addition to the respective hinge 12 at each handle portion 4, 4a, two spring elements 13 are mounted. As a rule, these are positioned symmetrically to the left and to the right of the respective hinge 12.
- the spring elements 13 are preferably each designed as an elastic plastic strip which is integrally connected at its one narrow side with the holding portion 2 or its approach and on the other side integral with a stem portion 4, 4a a Abstreifarms 3, 3a is connected.
- Each spring element 13 bridges i. d. R. the gap between the sleeve portion 2 and its approach and the respectively associated stem portion 4, 4a and a projection 10, see. Fig. 2.
- each of the spring elements 13 is curved inside and outside arcuately. Its thickness in the radial direction is usually less than the radial thickness of the scraper 1 itself, usually by at least the factor 3, cf. Fig. 5.
- each of the stem portions 4, 4a preferably has a width which extends over at least 10%, better over at least 15% of the circumference of the holding portion 2, where it merges into the stem portions 4, 4a.
- each stem portion 4, 4a tapers from where it is connected to the holding portion 2, towards its distal end, at the first stem portions 4, towards its respective ring portion 5 - in the sense that it becomes narrower in the circumferential direction.
- the taper is, however, preferably designed only with restraint and is ideally from the proximal end connected to the holding section 2 to the distal end of less than 20%, better than 15%, since this is the only way to avoid that the proximal region of the stem section 4, 4a too rigid and / or the distal region becomes too yielding, so it lacks the necessary uniformity of bending elasticity.
- each of the stem portions 4, 4a is slightly curved, usually so that the longitudinal axis L remote from the outer surface of the stem portion 4, 4a is convexly curved in the circumferential direction and optionally the longitudinal axis L facing inner surface of the stem portion 4, 4a is also concavely curved in the circumferential direction ,
- the stem portions 4, 4a are not twisted with respect to the longitudinal axis L, in the sense that they wind around the longitudinal axis L in the manner of a helix.
- each of the first handle sections 4 merges into its annular section 5.
- each ring portion 5 seen in the circumferential direction, larger than the extension of the corresponding ring portion 5 supporting stem portion 4, also seen in the circumferential direction.
- ring portion 5 forms in each case on both sides of its associated stem portion 4 a ring arm 8, which is connected only on one side to the central part of the ring portion 5 and projects in the circumferential direction on both sides in the manner of a cantilevered only cantilever over the stem portion 4.
- the two ring arms 8 of a ring section 5 together are at least 35% and better still at least 50% of the length of the entire ring section 5 Accordingly, they protrude far beyond the stem portion 4.
- the free ends of the ring arms 8 will each lie outside the root surface of their respective stem portion 4 - when projected along the outside surface of the stem portion or portions 4. Also where the latter is not the case, the ring arms 8 project in any case into the gap formed between two first handle elements 4 - viewed in projection along the longitudinal axis L.
- each first stem portion 4 and the annular portion 5 formed thereon is usually designed to correspond to the forearm support of a crutch extending upwardly away from the handle.
- Each of the first and second handle sections 4, 4a is usually hinged so that it can move more than insignificantly in radially outward direction.
- the distal end of each stem section 4, 4a in particular where the transition takes place in ring section 5, under the intended forces during stripping forces by more than 0.8 mm and better still by more than 1.2 mm in the radial direction shift elastically reversible outwards.
- the ring arms 8 and the remainder of a respectively associated ring section 5 and preferably also the outer surface of the stem sections 4 have an identical curvature in the circumferential direction.
- the ring arms 8 are also designed to be extremely narrow in the direction parallel to the longitudinal axis L, their maximum extent DR in this direction is preferably 3.5 mm, better still only 2.5 mm, cf. Fig. 5. Since the scraper 1 is usually made of an elastic plastic, the ring arms 8 have due to its ability to move under the intended purpose of stripping during loading more than insignificant relative to the stem portion 4 in the radial direction outward. By an insignificant shift is meant that displacement which is inherently unavoidable by virtue of the inherent elasticity of each body. In any case, a displacement of at least 0.8 mm, more preferably at least 1.5 mm, is understood to mean a displacement that is more than insubstantial. Well with reference to FIG. 1 it can be seen that of two adjacent ring sections 5, the associated
- a window 9 a, 9 b is bounded, which connects the scraper 1 otherwise circumferentially enclosed inside with the space on the peripheral outer side. Such a window prevents the otherwise dreaded "blobb effect".
- the second Abstreiferarm 3a along its entire extent in the direction of the longitudinal axis of a circumferentially constant or at least in Substantially constant width (+/- 7.5%) ⁇
- the hinge attachment of the second Abstreiferarms 3a having the projection 10 on the holding section 2 by means of a hinge 12 helps that the protrusion 10 having the second Abstreiferarm 3a under the influence of the intended forces occurring during application forces more than slightly insignificant reversible-flexible can shift in radially outward direction.
- "more than negligible" means a displacement of the free, distal end of the projection by at least 0.7 mm, better still by at least 1 mm.
- the second wiper arm 3a having the projection 10 does not completely cover the free surface of the window 9a, 9b. As you see well with reference to FIG. 1, at least 45%, better even at least 55% of the imaginary window area remain really free.
- the second wiper arm 3a has the task of acting as an "auxiliary wiper" for the applicator handle, in turn wiping off that narrow portion of the handle which otherwise passes through the nip between two immediately adjacent annular arms 8 without being stripped off, ie from 1, which illustrates this, so that the second wiper arm 3a ensures that the entire circumference of the handle is wiped off.
- the second scraper arm 3a - with a corresponding constructive design - have the function, in particular for reinserting the applicator, for lateral guidance of the applicator trimming, usually a bristle trimming, to ensure that it again passes through the ring sections 5 and in particular their ring arms 8 can, without too sharply bent over or unfavorable in the freely projecting ring arms 8 too caught.
- means here in the form of the projections 10 bearing second Abstreiferarme 3 a) are present, which cause a stem coverage of at least and better than more than 360 °, so that the stem is stripped clean all around.
- the second scraper arm 3a terminates, viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis L, in a viewing direction aligned with the distal end above the annular sections 5 of the first scraper arms 3
- the scraper 1 preferably has two second scraper arms 3a and thus i. d.
- R. also two windows 9a, 9b.
- each second Abstreiferarm 3a carries at its distal end a radially inwardly projecting projection 10 with a radially inwardly projecting lip 11 at its distal end , which preferably makes a contribution to the wiping result.
- the holding portion 2 will have a stop collar 6, with which it rests in the fully assembled state against the end face of a container opening.
- the holding section 2 has a latching element which allows its positive fixing in the interior of the container opening, where a complementary latching element is found.

- the first and the second section preferably have the same or approximately the same length in the direction of the longitudinal axis L up to 30% difference.
- the second section of the scraper 1 is preferably conical or inclined, as shown in FIG. A cone angle of 7.5 ° to 15 ° relative to the scraper longitudinal axis L is particularly useful, cf. Fig. 6.
- the holding section 2 merges into preferably at least two first handle sections 4 and two second handle sections 4a, which project from it in the direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis L in the manner of cantilevered beams.
- Figs. 8 to 11 show a second embodiment of the invention.
- hinges 12 and the spring elements 13 are here indicated in each case only by a dashed line, shown in the drawing they are not. But they have exactly the same shape as the hinges
