Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for applying a removable material in the form of a pen according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • Devices of the type in question are known, for example in the form of pins which have an erosible mass, for example erosible due to friction.
  • Such sticks are also known, for example, as lipsticks, but also as sticks for applying care products, in particular skin care products, or for applying medical products.
  • the U.S. 3,308,939 referenced.
  • a device of the type in question in which the free end region of the mass can be moved into a free management position as a result of a rotation of the mass carrier carrying the mass relative to the protective cover.
  • U.S. 2,071,747 a device is known in which such a displacement of the free end region occurs as a result of a linear sliding displacement of the mass carrier relative to the protective cover along a device longitudinal axis.
  • EP 2 220 960 A1 it is known to cover the free end region of the mass with a protective cap when the device is not in use. It is also known from this to bring the protective cover into a retaining cooperation in its area of interaction with an inner surface of the envelope part in that retaining formations in Form of spring parts or a locking projection are formed on the protective cover.
  • the invention is concerned with the task of developing a device as stated at the beginning in such a way that advantageous handling results.
  • the protective cover has an enlarged circumference over part of its length for frictional interaction with an inner surface of the cover part.
  • the increase in circumference can result completely over the entire circumference of a partial area of the protective cover.
  • isolated circumferential enlargements for example in the form of radial projections, are distributed over the circumference.
  • the circumferential enlargement can be formed on the moving part, thus preferably in an end area opposite the exit end of the protective cover for the mass.
  • the shell part that covers the protective cover when it is not in use also carries the protective cap that covers the material when it is not in use.
  • the latter is preferably held displaceably in the envelope part in the direction of extent of a longitudinal axis of the envelope part.
  • the displaceability can, as is also preferred, be limited by stops in both directions.
  • the protective cap is held captive on the envelope part.
  • the protective cover and thus preferably the device part having the mass can also be displaced along the same axis of displacement as that of the protective cap relative to the cover part.
  • the device part having the protective cover and the compound is preferably removed by such a sliding displacement relative to the cover part.
  • the protective cap In the non-use position of the device covered by the envelope part, the protective cap can be supported with a free marginal edge pointing inward with respect to the envelope part on an associated free marginal edge of the protective envelope, so that the sliding displacement of the protective cap along the longitudinal axis of the envelope part results in a corresponding sliding displacement of the protective envelope and thus of the device part having the mass.
  • the protective envelope and thus the device part having the compound can be brought into a position relative to the envelope part from which the complete removal of the device part having the compound from the envelope part or such a removal can take place is enabled or simplified for the user.
  • a combined length of the protective cover connected to the protective cap is greater than the length of the cover part in the direction of displacement.
  • part of the protective cap and / or part of the protective cover can extend in the longitudinal direction of the cover part when viewed protrude beyond the envelope part, in particular for pushing the protective cap and / or for grasping the protective cover.
  • the combined length of the protective cap and protective cover can for example correspond to 1.05 to 1.2 times the length of the cover part viewed in the same direction.
  • the envelope part can be designed as a cylinder, for example further, and also preferably, as a cylinder with a circular cross section.
  • the passage openings of the envelope part which are opposite in the direction of displacement, more preferably in the direction of longitudinal extent of the envelope part, can have the same opening cross-sections.
  • the opening cross-section so further in particular the opening diameter of a passage opening, is selected to be smaller than the dimension of the opposite passage opening.
  • the passage opening with a smaller diameter is preferably assigned to the protective cap.
  • the protective cover can have a moving part for the mass.
  • the moving part can, as is also preferred, act on the mass carrier, wherein the mass carrier can for example be guided like a piston in the protective cover along the protective cover longitudinal axis.
  • the protective cap can be held displaceably in the enveloping part against a spring force, which spring force loads the protective cap into a basic position protruding axially beyond the assigned end of the enveloping part.
  • a spring part can be a separate part, for example in the form of a cylinder compression spring.
  • the spring force can also result from an elastic restoring force of the material used of the interacting sections of the protective cap and / or envelope part.
  • a device 1 for example in the form of a lipstick.
  • the device 1 has a device part 2 for applying a mass 3, as well as an envelope part 5 having a protective cap 4.
  • the device 1 can, as shown, be shaped as a whole as a cylinder of rotation.
  • the shell part 5 is preferably designed as an elongated hollow cylinder with a circular outline, with a longitudinal extension along an axis of rotation x which corresponds to approximately 4 to 5 times the outer diameter of the shell part 5, which is uniformly selected over the length of the shell part 5.
  • All parts of the device 1 are preferably made from a plastic, in particular hard plastic, furthermore each made, for example, using a plastic injection molding process.
  • the casing part 5 has corresponding passage openings 6 and 7.
  • the opening diameter of the passage opening 7 can, as is also preferred, correspond to the inner diameter of the envelope part 5.
  • the diameter of the opposite passage opening 6, however, is reduced compared to the inner diameter of the envelope part 5, about 1 to 2 times the material thickness of the envelope part wall 8. This results in a radially inwardly pointing collar 9 in the area of the passage opening 6.
  • the protective cap 4, penetrating the passage opening 6, is held in the envelope part 5 along the axis of rotation x so that it can be shifted and cannot be lost.
  • the protective cap 4 is designed like a pot, with a circumferential cap wall 10 and a cap cover 11, which offers an actuating surface 12 directed outwards in an essentially transverse alignment to the axis of rotation x.
  • the outer diameter of the cap wall 10 is adapted over the greater part of the axial longitudinal extent of the protective cap 4, in the illustrated embodiment approximately over two thirds of this length, to an area 13 that adjoins the collar 9 on the inside of the envelope part 5 and is enlarged in terms of the inner diameter.
  • This enlarged diameter area 13 extends, viewed in the axial direction, over approximately a fifth of the total length of the envelope part 5.
  • the diameter-adapted section of the cap wall 10 extends in the axial direction over a dimension which corresponds approximately to 0.5 to 0.75 times the axial extent of the area 13.
  • the above-described, diameter-adapted area of the cap wall 10 merges into a section of reduced diameter, which is adapted in terms of the outside diameter to the free diameter of the passage opening 6 encompassed by the collar 9.
  • the cap section penetrating through the passage opening 6 carries the cap top 11 at the end.
  • a free annular end face of the cap wall 10 facing away from the cap top 11 and dipping into the shell part 5 is in this position spaced apart in the axial direction from one in the transition from the enlarged diameter Stop shoulder 15 resulting in region 13 in the remaining inner wall region of the shell part wall 8.
  • the cap wall 10 viewed in the circumferential direction thereof, is divided into individual sections by slot-like cutouts 16 running in the axial direction. In the course of assembly, these can move elastically radially inward and, due to the elastic resilience that is preferred, pivot back into their starting position.
  • Protective cap 4 and enveloping part 5 can, as shown, consist of two separately manufactured components. Alternatively, these can also be produced in a two-component injection molding process as assembly injection molding.
  • the device part 2 is essentially composed of a piston-like acting mass carrier 17 and a protective sleeve 18 having a moving part 19 and a counter-holder cylinder 27.
  • the moving part 19 is essentially of circular cylindrical design and has a pot-shaped handling section 20. This extends approximately over a third of the total axial length of the moving part 19 or of the protective cover 18 as a whole.
  • handling section 20 can be designed to be completely closed around the circumference and optionally also with respect to the pot-bottom-like end face.
  • the piston-like mass carrier 17 is guided in this envelope section 21.
  • the removable material 3 sits in the manner of an abrasive pin.
  • the mass carrier 17 Via the mass carrier 17, the mass 3 or a free end of the mass 3 can be brought into a board position beyond the free end of the moving part 19.
  • the inner diameter of the sleeve section 21 is adapted to the inner diameter of the adjoining handling section 20 so that the mass carrier 17 can move circumferentially in any axial position, preferably over the entire inner length of the moving part 19.
  • the outside diameter of the casing section 21, on the other hand, is reduced compared to the outside diameter of the handling section 20, approximately by half the dimension of the material thickness of the wall.
  • the counter-holder cylinder 27 is arranged in this region surrounding the casing section 21 radially on the outside. This is adapted to the casing section 21 with regard to the axial length and the inner diameter.
  • the outer diameter preferably corresponds to that of the handling section 20.
  • the moving part 19 is rotatable relative to the counter holder cylinder 27 about the axis of rotation x.
  • the mass carrier 17 For linear displaceability of the mass carrier 17, it can be provided on the outside of its circumferential wall with two diametrically opposite, radially projecting pins 23. These plunge through appropriately positioned longitudinal slots 24 of the casing section 21 running in the direction of extension of the axis of rotation x and engage in control grooves 25 extending helically around the axis of rotation x, which are provided on the inside of the wall of the counter-holder cylinder 27.
  • the mass carrier 17 is correspondingly displaced linearly along the axis of rotation x when the moving part 19 is actuated in a rotary manner, while preventing it from rotating about this axis.
  • the mass 3 can be brought into a desired management position via a rotary movement of the moving part 19.
  • the device part 2 is completely received in the envelope part 5 when the mass carrier 17 is lowered and thus the mass 3 is completely received in the protective cover 18.
  • the free end face of the moving part 19 opposite the opening area of the casing section 21 preferably ends with the plane given by the assigned end edge face of the casing part wall 8 in the area of the passage opening 7.
  • the front edge of the moving part 19 or the protective sleeve 18 surrounding the opening for the passage of the compound 3 preferably comes into contact with the front edge surface of the cap wall 10 facing it. This position is preferably limited to a stop due to the support of the shoulder 14 on the cap part side on the collar 9 on the shell part side.
  • the combined length of protective cap 4 (length b) and device part 2 or protective sheath 18 (length c) is selected to be greater than the length a of the enveloping part 5, which is also considered in the direction of extension of the axis of rotation x, which results in a board position of the reduced-diameter cap section in the position described above the passage opening 6 of the envelope part 5 also results.
  • the management board dimension d can correspond to approximately one twentieth of the length a of the envelope part 5.
  • the device part 2 In this position, the device part 2 is held in the casing part 5 by friction.
  • the device part 2 in the illustrated embodiment has circumferential enlargements 26 distributed over the circumference in the area of the handling section 20 on the outside of the wall. These can be formed in the form of lens head-like radial projections. Furthermore, for example, three such projections can be provided evenly distributed over the circumference.
  • the device part 2 can be removed from the envelope part 5. However, when it is not in use, this is completely accommodated in the envelope part 5. Accordingly, to remove the device part 2, preparation by moving the protective cap 4 in the direction of displacement r along the axis of rotation x is required. By pressing on the actuating surface 12 (arrow P), the protective cap 4 is displaced in the direction of the interior of the envelope part 5, this with a sliding displacement of the device part 2 by the same amount. The displacement of the protective cap 4 can take place until the free edge of the cap wall 10 strikes the stop shoulder 15 in the inner region of the partial envelope wall 8, in FIG which position the cap top 11 can extend below the opening plane of the passage opening 6 (cf. Figure 6 ).
  • the opposite end of the device part 2 in the area of the handling section 20 dips by the same amount beyond the passage opening 7 of the envelope part 5 over which the protective cap 4 is displaced. A gripping section is then suitable for completely removing the device part 2.
  • the device part 2 can also be brought into a position by this manual sliding displacement in which the frictional connection between the circumferential enlargements 26 and the inner surface of the casing part wall 8 is canceled, so that the device part 2 may automatically slip out of the casing part 5.
  • the protective cap 4 When the device part 2 is reinserted into the envelope part 5, the protective cap 4 is shifted back into the stop-limited starting position as a result of the associated sliding displacement, which enables the device part 2 to be fully accommodated in the envelope part 5.
  • a device which is characterized in that the protective cover 18 and the protective cap 4 are accommodated in a cover part 5 and the protective cap 4 and the protective cover 18 in a displacement direction r in the Envelope part 5 are displaceable, that the envelope part 5 has passage openings 6 and 7 at its ends opposite in the direction of displacement r and that the protective cap 4 is movably connected to the envelope part 5 in the direction of displacement r, but cannot be lost.
  • a device which is characterized in that a combined length b and c of the protective cover 18 connected to the protective cap 4 is greater than the length a of the cover part 5 in the displacement direction r.
  • a device which is characterized in that the envelope part 5 is designed as a cylinder.
  • a device which is characterized in that the protective cover 18 has a moving part 19 for the mass 3.
  • a device which is characterized in that the protective cover 18 has a circumferential enlargement 26 over part of its length, for frictional interaction with an inner surface of the cover part 5.
  • a device which is characterized in that the circumferential enlargement is formed on the moving part 19.
