Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Applikator zur Aufbringung von kosmetischem Material mit einem keilförmigen Trägerkörper, der mit einem Überzug aus Flockfasern versehen ist.The invention relates to an applicator for applying cosmetic material with a wedge-shaped carrier body, which is provided with a coating of flock fibers.

Applikatoren zur Aufbringung von kosmetischem Material an sich sind bekannt und dienen zum Aufbringen von flüssigem, pastösem oder festem kosmetischen Material. Typischerweise weisen derartige Applikatoren ein Griffelement zur Handhabung durch den Benutzer sowie ein Auftragselement zur eigentlichen Aufbringung von kosmetischem Material auf. Bei den sogenannten Flock-Applikatoren weist das Auftragselement einen Trägerkörper auf, der mit Flockfasern (kurz auch Flock genannt) überzogen ist.Applicators for applying cosmetic material per se are known and are used for applying liquid, pasty or solid cosmetic material. Typically, such applicators have a grip element for handling by the user and an applicator element for the actual application of cosmetic material. In the case of the so-called flock applicators, the applicator element has a carrier body which is coated with flock fibers (also called flock for short).

EP 1 920 677 A1 offenbart einen Applikator zur Aufbringung von kosmetischem Material mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1. EP 0 965 286 A1 beschreibt weitere Applikatoren. EP 1 920 677 A1 discloses an applicator for applying cosmetic material having the features of the preamble of claim 1. EP 0 965 286 A1 describes other applicators.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen multifunktionalen Applikator anzubieten, der sowohl ein exaktes und einfaches Auftragen des kosmetischen Materials als auch eine Strukturierung der Flockfasern ermöglicht.The invention has for its object to provide a multifunctional applicator, which allows both an accurate and simple application of the cosmetic material as well as a structuring of the flock fibers.

Die Aufgabe wird durch einen Applikator mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.The object is achieved by an applicator with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are described in the subclaims.

Der erfindungsgemäße Applikator zur Aufbringung von kosmetischem Material mit einem keilförmigen Trägerkörper ist mit einem Überzug aus Flockfasern versehen. Der Trägerkörper weist eine Vorderseite, eine Rückseite und zwei Seitenflächen auf. Die Vorderseite und die Rückseite weisen jeweils eine ebene Teilfläche auf. Die ebenen Teilflächen sind spiegelsymmetrisch zueinander ausgebildet. Die beiden Teilflächen weisen jeweils einen Außenrand in Form einer Achterkurve auf.The inventive applicator for applying cosmetic material with a wedge-shaped carrier body is provided with a coating of flock fibers. The carrier body has a front side, a rear side and two side surfaces. The front and the back each have a flat partial surface. The flat partial surfaces are mirror-symmetrical to each other. The two partial surfaces each have an outer edge in the form of an eight-way curve.

Unter einer Achterkurve wird eine Kurve verstanden, die im Wesentlichen die Form einer Acht besitzt. Synonyme wären Achtkurve oder achtförmige Kurve. Im Wesentlichen besitzt die Achterkurve einen mittigen, taillierten Bereich und Endbereiche, die bogenförmig ausgebildet sind.An eighth curve is a curve that essentially has the shape of an eight. Synonyms would be Eight or Eight. In essence, the figure-eight curve has a central waisted portion and end portions arcuate in shape.

Durch die ebenen Teilflächen, die spiegelsymmetrisch zueinander ausgebildet sind, besitzt der Trägerkörper des Applikators Bereiche, die gut gegeneinander gedrückt werden können. Daher eignet sich der erfindungsgemäße Applikator sehr gut dafür, die Flockfasern in diesem Bereich (d.h. im Bereich der ebenen Teilflächen) zu strukturieren. Eine derartige Strukturierung kann insbesondere durch ein Präge-, Prägedruck-, Druck- oder Prägeflockverfahren erfolgen. Bei diesen Verfahren wird im Allgemeinen Druck auf den beflockten Trägerkörper ausgeübt und die auf dem Trägerkörper aufgebrachten Flockfasern werden beispielsweise niedergedrückt und/oder eingefärbt oder auf ähnliche Weise strukturiert.Due to the flat partial surfaces, which are mirror-symmetrical to each other, the carrier body of the applicator has areas that can be pressed against each other well. Therefore, the applicator of the invention is very well suited for structuring the flock fibers in this area (i.e., in the area of the flat partial areas). Such structuring can be carried out in particular by means of a stamping, embossing, printing or embossing flock process. In these methods, pressure is generally applied to the flocked carrier body and the flock fibers applied to the carrier body are, for example, depressed and / or colored or structured in a similar manner.

Durch den Außenrand der Teilflächen in Form einer Achterkurve erhält der Trägerkörper des Applikators eine Außenform mit relativ breiten Endbereichen und einem taillierten Mittelbereich. Eine derartige Außenform eignet sich besonders gut zum Auftragen von kosmetischem Material. Insbesondere kann der Benutzer durch diese gebogene bzw. geschwungene Form den Auftrag des kosmetischen Materials beispielsweise gut an die Gesichtskontur anpassen.Due to the outer edge of the partial surfaces in the form of an eight-way curve, the carrier body of the applicator receives an outer shape with relatively wide end regions and a waisted middle region. Such an outer shape is particularly suitable for applying cosmetic material. In particular, the user can adapt the order of the cosmetic material, for example, well to the facial contour by this curved or curved shape.

Insgesamt ermöglicht die erfindungsgemäße Form des Applikators damit sowohl ein exaktes und einfaches Auftragen des kosmetischen Materials als auch eine Strukturierung der Flockfasern.Overall, the shape of the applicator according to the invention thus enables both an exact and simple application of the cosmetic material and a structuring of the flock fibers.

In vorteilhafter Weise weist die Achterkurve einen ersten, dem spitzen Ende des Trägerkörpers zugewandten, bogenförmigen Endbereich, einen taillierten Mittelbereich und einen zweiten, dem breiten Ende des Trägerkörpers zugewandten, bogenförmigen Endbereich auf. Dadurch besitzt der Applikator eine relative breite Spitze und einen taillierten Mittelbereich, was sich besonders gut zum Auftragen von kosmetischem Material eignet.Advantageously, the figure-eight curve has a first arcuate end region facing the pointed end of the carrier body, a waisted middle region and a second arcuate end region facing the wide end of the carrier body. As a result, the applicator has a relatively wide tip and a waisted middle region, which is particularly well suited for applying cosmetic material.

Ausführungsformen, in denen der erste Endbereich der Achterkurve kreisförmig gebogen ausgebildet und der zweite Endbereich der Achterkurve ist ovalförmig gebogen ausgebildet, das das Verhältnis der kleinsten Breite im taillierten Mittelbereich zur größten Breite im ersten Endbereich ca. 1:6 beträgt und/oder das Verhältnis der kleinsten Breite im taillierten Mittelbereich zur größten Breite im zweiten Endbereich ca. 1:4 beträgt, haben sich als besonders vorteilhaft herausgestellt. Durch die oben genannten Merkmale ist zum einen eine besonders auftragsfreundliche Außenform des Applikators möglich und zum anderen erhält der Applikator eine Stabilität, die eine Strukturierung im Bereich der ebenen Teilflächen ermöglicht. Darüber hinaus wird eine relativ große ebene Teilfläche möglich, sodass die strukturierten Bereiche der Flockfasern einen relativ großen Anteil am Flockfaserüberzug einnehmen können.Embodiments in which the first end portion of the figure-eight curve is formed bent circular and the second end portion of the figure 8 curve is formed oval shaped, the ratio of the smallest width in the waisted central region to the largest width in the first end region is about 1: 6 and / or the ratio of smallest width in the waisted central region to the largest width in the second end region is about 1: 4, have proven to be particularly advantageous. By the above-mentioned features, on the one hand, a particularly application-friendly outer shape of the applicator is possible and, on the other hand, the applicator acquires a stability which enables structuring in the region of the flat partial surfaces. In addition, a relatively large flat partial surface is possible, so that the structured areas of the flock fibers can occupy a relatively large proportion of the flock fiber coating.

Insbesondere können auf der ebenen Teilfläche zumindest ein Teilbereich mit niedergedrückten Flockfasern und zumindest ein Teilbereich mit aufstehenden Flockfasern vorhanden sein. Dadurch ist eine variantenreiche Gestaltung des Flockfaserüberzuges möglich. Die niedergedrückten Flockfasern können hierbei zum einen ein Reservoir für das aufzunehmende kosmetische Material bilden und zum anderen die optische Erscheinung des Überzugs beeinflussen (z.B. Einprägen bzw. Prägeflock von Mustern, Signaturen, Logos, Schriftzügen, Ornamenten).In particular, at least one partial area with depressed flock fibers and at least one partial area with upstanding flock fibers may be present on the planar partial area. As a result, a varied design of Flockfaserüberzuges possible. The depressed flock fibers can hereby on the one hand a reservoir for the male form cosmetic material and on the other influence the visual appearance of the coating (eg embossing or embossing flock of patterns, signatures, logos, logotypes, ornaments).

Erfindungsgemäß ist innerhalb der ebenen Teilfläche eine Vertiefung ausgebildet. In besonders vorteilhafter Weise ist die Vertiefung kreisförmig im dem spitzen Ende des Trägerkörpers zugewandten Bereich der ebenen Teilfläche ausgebildet. Diese Vertiefung kann als Reservoir für das kosmetische Material dienen. Die Menge an kosmetischem Material, das mit dem Applikator aufgebracht werden kann, wird auf diese Weise erhöht.According to the invention, a depression is formed within the planar partial surface. In a particularly advantageous manner, the depression is formed in a circular manner in the region of the flat partial surface facing the tip end of the carrier body. This depression can serve as a reservoir for the cosmetic material. The amount of cosmetic material that can be applied with the applicator is increased in this way.

In besonders vorteilhafter Weise besitzt die Vertiefung eine ebene Grundfläche, die parallel zur ebenen Teilfläche verläuft. Auf diese Weise können auch die Flockfasern im Bereich der Vertiefung gut strukturiert werden.In a particularly advantageous manner, the depression has a flat base surface, which runs parallel to the flat partial surface. In this way, the flock fibers in the well can be well structured.

In bevorzugter Weise ist am breiten Ende des Trägerkörpers ein Verbindungselement zur Verbindung des Trägerkörpers mit einem Halter oder Stiel ausgebildet. Dadurch wird eine zuverlässige Verbindung des Trägerkörpers mit einem Halter ermöglicht, sodass der Benutzer den Applikator sicher und bequem benutzen kann.Preferably, a connecting element for connecting the carrier body with a holder or handle is formed at the wide end of the carrier body. This allows a reliable connection of the carrier body with a holder, so that the user can use the applicator safely and comfortably.

Fig. 1 bis Fig. 3 zeigen einen Applikator 1 zur Aufbringung von kosmetischem Material. Der Applikator weist einen Trägerkörper 2 auf, der mit einem Überzug 3 aus Flockfasern beflockt ist. An dem in Fig. 1 unteren Ende ist am Trägerkörper 2 ein Verbindungselement 4 ausgebildet. Das Verbindungselement 4 dient zur Verbindung des Trägerkörpers 2 mit einem in den Figuren nicht dargestellten Halter oder Stiel. Der mit dem Überzug 3 versehene Trägerkörper 2 bildet somit das Auftragselement zur eigentlichen Aufbringung von kosmetischem Material. Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 show an applicator 1 for applying cosmetic material. The applicator has a carrier body 2 which is flocked with a coating 3 of flock fibers. At the in Fig. 1 lower end of the support body 2, a connecting element 4 is formed. The connecting element 4 is used to connect the carrier body 2 with a holder or handle, not shown in the figures. The carrier body 2 provided with the coating 3 thus forms the application element for the actual application of cosmetic material.

Fig. 4 bis Fig. 6 zeigen den unbeflockten Trägerkörper 2 aus Fig. 1 bis Fig. 3. Die Grundform des Trägerkörpers 2 ist keilförmig ausgebildet, wobei die breite Seite des Keils in Richtung des Verbindungselements 4 orientiert ist und die spitze Seite des Keils in den Figuren oben dargestellt ist. Fig. 4 to Fig. 6 show the unflocked carrier body 2 Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 , The basic shape of the carrier body 2 is wedge-shaped, wherein the broad side of the wedge is oriented in the direction of the connecting element 4 and the pointed side of the wedge is shown in the figures above.

Fig. 1 und Fig. 4 zeigen jeweils eine Frontansicht des Applikators 1 bzw. des Trägerkörpers 2, während Fig. 2 und Fig. 5 eine Seitenansicht des Applikators 1 bzw. des Trägerkörpers 2 darstellen. Fig. 3 stellt eine Schnittdarstellung entlang der Schnittebene A-A aus Fig. 1 dar mit dem Trägerkörper 2 und dem Überzug 3 aus Flockfasern. Fig. 6 zeigt eine Schnittansicht entlang der Schnittebene A-A aus Fig. 4. Fig. 1 and Fig. 4 each show a front view of the applicator 1 and the carrier body 2, while Fig. 2 and Fig. 5 represent a side view of the applicator 1 and the carrier body 2. Fig. 3 represents a sectional view along the cutting plane AA Fig. 1 with the carrier body 2 and the coating 3 of flock fibers. Fig. 6 shows a sectional view along the sectional plane AA Fig. 4 ,

Der Trägerkörper 2 weist eine Vorderseite 5, eine Rückseite 6 und zwei Seitenflächen 7 auf. Die Vorderseite 5 ist hierbei spiegelsymmetrisch zur Rückseite 6 ausgebildet. Auch die beiden Seitenflächen 7 sind spiegelsymmetrisch zueinander ausgebildet.The carrier body 2 has a front 5, a back 6 and two side surfaces 7. The front 5 is in this case mirror-symmetrical to Rear 6 is formed. The two side surfaces 7 are mirror-symmetrical to each other.

Sowohl die Vorderseite 5 als auch die Rückseite 6 weisen jeweils eine ebene Teilfläche 8 auf. Die ebene Teilfläche 8 der Vorderseite 5 ist hierbei ebenfalls spiegelsymmetrisch zur, in den Figuren nicht unmittelbar sichtbaren, ebenen Teilfläche 8 der Rückseite ausgebildet. Die ebenen Teilflächen 8 haben jeweils einen Außenrand in Form einer Achterkurve. Genauer weist die Achterkurve einen ersten Endbereich 9, einen taillierten Mittelbereich 10 und einen zweiten Endbereich 11 auf. Der erste Endbereich 9 ist dem spitzen Ende des Trägerkörpers 2 zugewandt und bogenförmig - nämlich kreisbogenförmig bzw. kreisförmig gebogen - ausgebildet. Der zweite Endbereich 11 ist dem breiten Ende des Trägerkörpers 2 zugewandt und ebenfalls bogenförmig - jedoch ovalförmig gebogen - ausgebildet. Das Verhältnis der kleinsten Breite im taillierten Mittelbereich 10 zur größten Breite im ersten Endbereich 9 beträgt ca. 1 zu 6 (1:6). Das Verhältnis der kleinsten Breite im taillierten Mittelbereich 10 zur größten Breite im zweiten Endbereich 11 beträgt ca. 1 zu 4 (1:4).Both the front side 5 and the rear side 6 each have a flat partial surface 8. The flat partial surface 8 of the front side 5 is here also mirror-symmetrical to, not directly visible in the figures, flat partial surface 8 of the back formed. The flat partial surfaces 8 each have an outer edge in the form of a figure-eight curve. More specifically, the figure-eight curve has a first end portion 9, a waisted center portion 10 and a second end portion 11. The first end region 9 faces the pointed end of the carrier body 2 and is arc-shaped - namely arc-shaped or circularly curved - formed. The second end portion 11 faces the wide end of the support body 2 and also arcuate - but oval-shaped bent - formed. The ratio of the smallest width in the waisted middle region 10 to the largest width in the first end region 9 is approximately 1 to 6 (1: 6). The ratio of the smallest width in the waisted middle region 10 to the largest width in the second end region 11 is approximately 1 to 4 (1: 4).

Im dem spitzen Ende des Trägerkörpers 2 zugewandten Bereich der ebenen Teilfläche 8 ist eine Vertiefung 12 ausgebildet. Die Vertiefung 12 ist kreisförmig und weist eine ebene Grundfläche auf, die parallel zur ebenen Teilfläche 8 verläuft. Die Vertiefung 12 kann als Reservoir für das aufzutragende kosmetische Material dienen, das sich zugleich (aufgrund der ebenen Grundfläche, die parallel zu der ebenen Teilfläche 8 orientiert ist) gut strukturieren lässt.In the tip end of the carrier body 2 facing region of the flat part surface 8, a recess 12 is formed. The recess 12 is circular and has a flat base surface which is parallel to the flat surface part 8. The recess 12 can serve as a reservoir for the cosmetic material to be applied, which at the same time (due to the flat base surface, which is oriented parallel to the flat partial surface 8) can be well structured.

Der Trägerkörper 2 ist mit einem Überzug 3 aus Flockfasern überzogen. Im überwiegenden Teil des Überzugs 3 sind die Flockfasern hierbei aufgerichtet bzw. aufstehend, d.h. die Flockfasern stehen senkrecht der Oberfläche des Trägerkörpers 2 ab. Auf der ebenen Teilfläche 8 sind jedoch insgesamt drei sichelförmige Teilbereiche vorhanden, in denen die Flockfasern niedergedrückt sind (vgl. Fig. 1, schraffierte Bereiche mit Beschriftung "niedergedrückter Flock"). Das Niederdrücken der Flockfasern in diesen Bereich kann durch ein Präge- bzw. Prägeflockverfahren erfolgen. Die ebenen Teilflächen 8 auf der Vorderseite 5 und der Rückseite 6 eignen die sich sehr gut für derartige Strukturierungsverfahren. Zugleich erhält der Trägerkörper 2 des Applikators 1 durch den Außenrand der Teilflächen 8 in Form einer Achterkurve eine Außenform mit relativ breiten Endbereichen und einem taillierten Mittelbereich, was das Auftragen von kosmetischem Material erleichtert.The carrier body 2 is coated with a coating 3 of flock fibers. In the majority of the coating 3, the flock fibers are erected or rising, ie the flock fibers are perpendicular to the surface of the carrier body 2. On the flat surface part 8, however, a total of three Crescent-shaped partial areas are present in which the flock fibers are depressed (cf. Fig. 1 hatched areas labeled "depressed flock"). The depression of the flock fibers in this area can be done by a embossing or embossing flock process. The flat faces 8 on the front 5 and the back 6 are very suitable for such structuring. At the same time, the carrier body 2 of the applicator 1 is replaced by the outer edge of the partial surfaces 8 in the form of an eight-way curve an outer shape with relatively wide end portions and a waisted central region, which facilitates the application of cosmetic material.
