Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mascara applicator according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Mascara applicators with a trim of fingers and wings are known as such from US Patent 2009/0193602 AI.
  • the wings of this Mascaraapplikators are designed as disc elements.
  • the major surfaces of each of the disc elements are aligned so that they are aligned perpendicular to the applicator longitudinal axis.
  • Several disk elements are arranged in alignment in the circumferential direction in succession and thus form a disk rim whose immediately adjacent
  • Disc elements are separated from each other only by a single finger.
  • the mascara applicator shows a somewhat variable order behavior in the circumferential direction
  • this mascara applicator can not fulfill the current desire of a group of very creative users to offer a very different order behavior - depending on which position you turn the mascara applicator before you bring him to the lash line.
  • the well-known Mascaraapplikator therefore can the need for a Mascaraapplikator, the great creative scope when Can be applied and also unusual order types allows not to meet.
  • the mascara applicator according to the invention has a core and a trimming of preferably integrally connected fingers and wings integral therewith.
  • the wings each consist of at least one plate element whose major surfaces are inclined to the
  • Each plate element has two main surfaces and otherwise only narrow surfaces.
  • the main surfaces are characterized in that their free surface is at least 4 times, better at least 6 times, larger than the free surface of each of the narrow surfaces.
  • the special feature of each of the plate elements is further that its two main surfaces are oblique to the applicator longitudinal axis and preferably at an angle between 10 ° and 35 °. The plate elements that form here or the wings are thus placed obliquely relative to the applicator longitudinal axis.
  • the plate elements according to the invention show due to their inclination both in the circumferential direction and in the direction parallel to the Applikatorlijnsachse an increased moment of inertia, so that the plate elements according to the invention against both bending by acting around the applicator longitudinal bending moment as well as opposite bending by a perpendicular to the Applicator longitudinal axis acting bending moment have increased resistance.
  • Each of these plate elements therefore prevents its passage through the scraper that the fingers located in its vicinity are strongly folded by the scraper and thereby stripped accordingly strong. In the areas, however, in which the fingers are further away from the plate elements and in which the local support effect of the plate elements is therefore no longer able to work, the fingers are significantly more folded by the scraper and noticeably more intense stripped.
  • an mascara applicator which is to be loaded attractively with mascara mass and enables new application results is obtained by providing the mascara applicator with a trim of fingers which is located at two points, preferably diametrically opposite, approximately at 9 o'clock Position and in the 15 o'clock position, is interrupted by each row of a total of parallel to the Applikatorl Kunststoffsachse extending, successively arranged wings.
  • a mascara applicator is pulled through a wiper, and preferably one with a more than insignificantly elastically deformable wiper lip, then the wiper can only detect the bristles located in the vicinity of the 9 o'clock position and near the 15 o'clock position move weakly and strip accordingly.
  • the scraper will move particularly close to those located in the vicinity of the 12 o'clock position and the 18 o'clock position fingers and therefore strip particularly intense.
  • the Mascaraapplikator seen after its passage through the scraper in the circumferential direction be loaded very differently with Mascara mass, what the desired, very variable Order behavior of Mascaraapplikators invention causes.
  • the invention therefore provides, in an embodiment, for the mascara applicator to have at least two rows of wings (5) that are generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the applicator and ideally diametrically opposed to the core. It is then further expedient if the maximum thickness of a plate member is perpendicular to its major surfaces between 0.8 times the maximum finger diameter and 2.5 times the maximum finger diameter. It has proved to be particularly favorable if the stocking has at least one row of wings extending overall in the direction parallel to the applicator longitudinal axis, which are arranged one behind the other in such a way that they form a zig-zag pattern. The key advantage of such a zig-zag pattern is that it gives the wings increased stability internally.
  • the wings are still not completely rigid, not like plates in the mathematical sense. Instead, they still have some lateral flexibility in the circumferential direction. Due to the overall zig-zag arrangement, but this is reduced, so that with the help of the zig-zag arrangement, the bending behavior of the wings can be structurally very accurately adapted to the individual needs, which are specified for the individual application.
  • each wing consists of two along their imaginary abutting end faces merging into each other and thus forming a V-element plate elements. Because such a V-element wins in stability, much like a folded sheet of paper.
  • the invention therefore further provides that each wing consists of two plate elements which merge into one another along one of their imaginary end faces and thus form a V-shaped wing.
  • V-elements set up in a row parallel to the longitudinal axis of the applicator open alternately toward one and the other circumferential direction.
  • a gap remains free between two V-shaped elements positioned directly adjacent to one another in the direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the applicator at least 1/3, better about 1/2, of the extension has a V-shaped element in the direction parallel to the applicator longitudinal axis.
  • the V-shaped elements are prevented from forming an excessively rigid strip, and under the influence of the scraper, it can be pressed in the direction of contact from one side of the V-shaped elements towards the other side of the V-shaped elements to compensate, and vice versa.
  • the tip of a V-shaped wing seen in the circumferential direction, is located centrally in the space between two adjacent, each extending in the circumferential direction finger rings.
  • each of the lateral ends of a V-shaped wing seen in the circumferential direction, is located centrally in the intermediate space between two finger rings which are adjacent to it and run in the circumferential direction.
  • the distance, measured in the circumferential direction, between two rows of fingers positioned one behind the other in alignment along the longitudinal axis of the applicator receives between them a row of V-shaped elements (ie completely or, more generously, substantially) or to +/- 10%) is just as large as the measured distance in the circumferential direction between two rows of each aligned in an alignment along the applicator longitudinal axis fingers that record between them another, same row of fingers.
  • the V-shaped elements do not lead to a disruptive interruption of the finger stump.
  • the mascara applicator is preferably designed such that the radial extent of the plate elements substantially corresponds to the radial extent of the surrounding fingers.
  • sockets are provided in the form of strips running obliquely to the applicator longitudinal axis, which connect the immediately adjacent plate elements which are separated from one another only by a gap over the gap.
  • FIG. 1 shows an overall view of a mascara applicator according to the invention viewed from the side, as seen from above on the V-shaped elements.
  • FIG. 2 shows an overall view of the mascara applicator according to the invention seen from the side, which, however, was rotated by 90 ° with respect to FIG. 1 about the applicator longitudinal axis.
  • FIG. 3 shows a detail enlargement from FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 4 shows a detail enlargement from FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 5 shows a view of the mascara applicator according to the invention from the front, ie seen from the free end of the mascara applicator facing away from the coupling section.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates what is meant by bristle in the sense of the invention.
  • FIG. 1 gives a first overview of an exemplary embodiment of the mascara applicator 1 according to the invention.
  • the Mascaraapplikator 1 is, as you can see here well, from a core 2, preferably followed by a coupling portion 3.
  • the coupling portion 3 is used for coupling the core 2 to a handle, not shown here, or a handle, not shown here, for holding and manipulating the mascara applicator 1 or for coupling to a closure cap.
  • the Mascaraapplikator 1 and the stem and possibly also the handle be made in one piece, the coupling section 3 is then omitted.
  • the core 2 carries an integral stocking of fingers 4 molded onto it.
  • the fingers 4 are preferably not confused with the core 2, as known from the bristles of the so-called wire core brushes.
  • the fingers 4 are geometrically defined, preferably in the radial direction from the core 2, ideally as spokes of a wheel.
  • the fingers 4 are formed individually, ie they are not tufted or fixed as a tuft on the core 2, but stand individually from the core 2, in the sense that each finger 4 on all sides distance to the or the immediately adjacent fingers 4 complies ,
  • By injecting the fingers 4 get a microscopic view of a characteristic structure, because the polymer molecule chains experience when shooting into the narrow finger-forming cavities of the injection molding a strong alignment parallel to the finger longitudinal axis.
  • the finger properties and above all the Bend recovery assets are positively influenced. Due to the integral bond between the fingers 4 and the core 2, microbial prone gaps in the area of the fingers are avoided, as otherwise occur during tufting.
  • the fingers 4 may be designed in part as comb teeth, so as in itself rigid or, compared with the bristles, more rigid elements. However, they are preferably formed at least predominantly as bristles. Ideally, all fingers are 4 bristles.
  • a bristle is understood to mean a rod which is preferably clamped on only one side and has a preferably (at least substantially) round or optionally also elliptical or oval cross-section.
  • a bristle is understood as meaning a structure which is so flexible that its free end facing away from the core 2 can reversibly shift under load by a distance parallel to the longitudinal axis of the applicator L, whose Amount at least 4 times, better still at least 6 times bristle diameter DE corresponds, see. Fig. 6.

  • the stocking is not formed solely from the described fingers 4.
  • wings 5 are also available.
  • the wings 5 preferably merge integrally into the core 2 and, as a rule, are also produced in one piece together with the core 2 and the fingers 4 in a common injection molding process.
  • different materials can alternatively be used. This then leads, for example, to the fact that the core 2 has been injected together with the fingers 4 in one shot and the wings 4 are sprayed up or over in a second shot.

As best seen with reference to FIGS. 1 and 4, wherein FIG. 4 shows a detail of Fig.l and 2, each plate member 6 has two major surfaces H and otherwise only narrow surfaces S. The main surfaces H are characterized in that their free surface is at least 4 times, better at least 6 times, larger than the free surface of each of the narrow surfaces S.

Instead, they are optional Base 8 provided in the form of obliquely to the applicator longitudinal axis L extending strips that connect the immediately adjacent, separated only by a gap 7 plate elements 6 across the gap 7 away from each other, see. These strips preferably have the same thickness D as the plate elements 6.

Abstract

Pour un applicateur de mascara (1) ayant une partie centrale (2) et une garniture constituée de doigts (4) reliés à celle-ci, de préférence d'un seul tenant, et des ailettes (5) reliées à celle-ci d'un seul tenant, l'invention a pour but de proposer un applicateur de mascara, qui permet des résultats d'application très différents. L'objectif est atteint en ce que les ailettes (5) sont constituées à chaque fois d'au moins un élément de plaque (6), chaque élément de plaque (6) présentant deux surfaces principales (H) et autrement seulement des surfaces étroites (S) et les surfaces principales (H) étant caractérisées par le fait que leur surface libre est à chaque fois au moins 4 fois plus grande, mieux encore au moins 6 fois plus grande, que la surface libre de chacune des surfaces étroites (S) et par le fait que les surfaces principales (H) s'étendent en biais par rapport à l'axe longitudinal (L) de l'applicateur, de préférence avec un angle (á) entre 10° et 35°, et par le fait que les éléments de plaque (6) présentent un moment d'inertie de surface supérieur en raison de leur position en biais tant dans la direction circonférentielle que dans la direction parallèle à l'axe longitudinal (L) de l'applicateur, de sorte que les éléments de plaque (6) présentent une capacité de résistance accrue tant vis-à-vis d'une flexion par un moment de flexion agissant autour de l'axe longitudinal (L) de l'applicateur que vis-à-vis d'une flexion par un moment de flexion agissant perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal (L) de l'applicateur.
