Definitions
- the invention relates to a storage and application device for liquid, in particular nail polish, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the DE 83 22 609 U1 discloses a storage and application device in the form of a makeup stick for applying flowable makeup material.
- the make-up stick in the form of a nail polish brush has a hollow handle serving as a lid for a container containing the material and a shaft which is fixed in and protrudes from the handle and at the free end of which an applicator element for applying the make-up material is fixed .
- the shank is mounted in the handle for telescopic extension and retraction, the shank being extendable by a spring.
- An insert is pressed or glued into the handle.
- the insert has a collar with a hole. The hole serves as a sliding guide for the shaft. At its upper end facing away from the application element, the shank has a collar which can be displaced in a cylinder-like guide of the insert.
- the U.S. 2009/133711 A1 discloses a nail polish brush with a closure cap and an applicator which is movably guided relative to the closure cap and is coupled to the closure cap via a compression spring. Inside the hollow closure cap is an inner cap on which a radially outwardly protruding projection is formed for non-rotatable fixing to the outer cap.
- Nail polish bottles in particular, but also other storage and application devices are often constructed as follows: they have a body (often in the form of a glass bottle) which encloses a storage space.
- a body often in the form of a glass bottle
- the hollow socket ends at an end face.
- the hollow connector can also be referred to as the neck of a bottle.
- the storage and application devices have a closure and application unit.
- This consists of a closure cap which has an internal thread and can be screwed onto the external thread, and an applicator carrier which is connected to the closure cap and on the free end of which an applicator, for example in the form of a brush, is formed.
- the brush consists of a hair body formed from a multiplicity of hairs.
- the applicator occupies the minimum distance from the bottom of the storage room only when the cap is screwed on.
- the cap should not be unscrewed during use (in the present case when painting the fingernails), which is also difficult because you need both hands for this.
- the problem arises that the nail polish bottle is quite difficult to use when the bottle is running low and/or that a relatively large amount of nail polish is left behind and thrown away.
- the DE 297 02 226 U1 before that the applicator carrier through the cap extends so that its first end is outside the closure cap, and is connected thereto by means of a spring.
- the applicator carrier By pressing the first end, the applicator carrier can thus be displaced in relation to the closure cap in such a way that the distance between the applicator and the closure cap is increased.
- the applicator can thus be immersed deeper into the receiving space when the closure cap is placed on the hollow socket.
- the storage and application device described can therefore in principle partly solve the problem presented above, but has numerous practical disadvantages.
- one-handed operation is also relatively difficult, since the body (the glass vial) must be held and pressed onto the first end of the applicator carrier at the same time.
- the effort that has to be made to achieve the necessary tightness in the storage state is very high.
- the manufacturing cost is high.
- a storage and application unit for nail polish in which screw-on limiting means are formed on the applicator support for contact with the end face of the container neck.
- An elastic element in the form of a compression spring acts between the closure cap and the applicator in such a way that the closure cap can be moved axially relative to the applicator carrier from a use position to a screwed-on closed position when the screw-on limiting means rest against the end faces under the tensioning end of the elastic element.
- the closure cap is designed in several parts and has a cap-shaped, conical outer part and a likewise cap-shaped, conical inner part, which is pressed into the outer part. Between the applicator and the inner part are a stop and a Counter-stop formed, which jointly specify the screwed closure position by striking each other.
- the object of the invention is to provide a storage and application device for liquid of the type mentioned at the outset, with which the aforementioned problems can be solved and which is also simpler and cheaper to produce than the prior art.
- the storage and application device according to the invention for liquid, in particular nail polish is characterized in that the first and second stop surfaces face one another and are spaced apart from one another in the axial direction.
- the inner part is designed as a sleeve, it is a component that is open on both sides, which results in great advantages in production.
- the closure caps are made of plastic, in particular these are plastic injection molded components.
- the cost of the tool plays a major role. The simpler the mold is constructed, the easier it is to demould the injected plastic component and the cheaper it is to produce the plastic injection molded parts.
- the inner part is designed in the shape of a cap and has a shoulder designed as a stop on the inner jacket.
- demoulding of such a cap-shaped component with an internal shoulder is relatively complicated and therefore expensive.
- demoulding can be carried out much more cost-effectively, since the inner part is designed as a sleeve, which means that the counter-stop, in particular, which interacts with the stop on the applicator carrier, is very much easier to demould and therefore to produce, since two molds can be used, which can then be extended through the opposite openings of the sleeve when the plastic sleeve is injection-molded.
- the inner part has an inner casing and a cylindrical outer casing.
- the stop has a first and a second stop surface and the counter-stop has a first and second counter-stop surface, with the first stop and first counter-stop for specifying the usage position and the second stop and second counter-stop for specifying the closed position plant to each other.
- the first and second abutment surfaces face each other and are spaced apart from each other in the axial direction.
- the first and second counter-stop surfaces are expediently turned away from one another.
- the stop faces are formed by end faces of an annular groove.
- the counter-stop surfaces are formed by end faces of a projection that dips into the annular groove.
- the projection is expediently designed as an annular stop collar.
- the annular groove has a significantly greater axial extent than the plunging projection.
- the stop is formed on the applicator carrier. Accordingly, it is preferred that the counter-stop is formed on the inner part of the closure cap. In principle, however, it would also be possible to design the counter-stop on the applicator carrier and the stop on the inner part of the closure cap. However, it is advantageous that the stop is in the form of an annular groove on the applicator support and the counter-stop is in the form of a projection, in particular an annular stop collar on the closure cap.
- fixing means for fixing the inner part in the outer part which are designed in such a way that the outer and inner parts are fixed in a rotationally fixed manner and are fixed relatively immovably in relation to one another in the axial direction.
- the fixing means expediently comprise form-fitting means on the outer part on the one hand and on the inner part on the other hand, which engage radially in one another and thereby create an axial securing of the inner part in the outer part.
- the inner part has the internal thread.
- the internal thread is expediently formed on the inner surface of the inner part.
- the elastic element urges the closure cap away from the applicator carrier and prestresses it into the use position when the threads do not mesh.
- the elastic element is designed as a spring, in particular a compression spring.
- the compression spring is expediently supported on the one hand on the applicator carrier and on the other hand on the outer part of the closure cap, in particular on a roof section of the closure cap.
- the applicator carrier has a shank section, at the free end of which the applicator is arranged and has a bearing section that is larger in diameter than the shank section in particular, with the unscrewing limiting means being formed by an annular shoulder at the transition between the bearing section and the shank section.
- anti-rotation means are present between the bearing section of the applicator carrier and the inner part of the closure cap to prevent rotation between the closure cap and the applicator carrier.
- the anti-twist means are formed by a polygonal profiling of the bearing section on the one hand and the inner casing of the inner part on the other hand.
- FIGS. 1 to 3 show a preferred embodiment of the storage and application device 11 according to the invention, which is used according to the embodiment for storing and applying nail polish.
- the storage and application device 11 has a reservoir 13 for the nail polish that has a container interior 12 .
- the storage container 13 has a belly section 14 which surrounds the container interior 12, with a belly section 14 not being absolutely necessary. It is essential that the reservoir 13 has a container neck 15 of a channel-like container opening 16 is penetrated.
- the interior of the container neck 15, i.e. the channel-like container opening 16, is not filled, but the highest filling level is usually just below the container neck 15. In this case, the container opening 16 is only used for access to the container interior 12.
- the container neck 15 has a lateral surface 17 on which an external thread 18 is formed. Furthermore, the container neck 15 has an annular end face 19.
- the storage and application device 11 has a closure and application unit 20, which consists of two main components, a closure cap 21, which will be explained in more detail below, and an applicator carrier 22 with an associated applicator 23.
- the applicator carrier 22 consists of the example described made of plastic.
- the applicator carrier 22 is a one-piece plastic injection molded component.
- the applicator carrier 22 has a shank section 24 which is round in cross-section, in particular circular, relatively elongated, extends along a longitudinal axis of the applicator carrier 22 and is flexible.
- profiles can be formed on the outer circumference or on the lateral surface 17 of the shaft section 24, whereby the paint flow from the shaft in the direction of the applicator 23 is improved.
- the shank section 24 is connected in one piece to a bearing section 26 which adjoins the shank section 24 coaxially thereto.
- the bearing section 26 has a larger diameter than the shank section 24 . Accordingly, at the transition between An annular shoulder 27 is formed between the shank portion 24 and the bearing portion 26 of larger diameter, which shoulder forms unscrewing limiting means 28 if the annular shoulder 27 is attached to the end face 19 of the container neck 15 .
- annular seal in the form of a sealing collar 29 can be formed on the annular shoulder 27 .
- the sealing collar 29 seals the passage between the annular shoulder 27 and the end face 19 of the container neck 15 .
- the bearing section 26 of the applicator carrier 22 has a relatively elongated receptacle 30 which is aligned coaxially to the longitudinal axis 25 and which in the example is designed as a cylindrical receptacle opening in the form of a blind hole.
- An elastic element in the form of a compression spring 31 is inserted into the cylindrical receiving opening and is supported on the one hand on a base 32 of the cylindrical receiving opening and on the other hand on the closure cap 21 .
- the compression spring 31 thus acts between the applicator carrier 22 and the closure cap 21. The function will be explained in more detail below.
- the bearing section 26 has an outer jacket on which there are several, for example two or three, pocket-shaped recesses 34 grouped around the longitudinal axis in regular sections.
- annular groove 35 is formed, which has an axial extension, the bottom of the annular groove 35 being formed by sections of a polygonal profile, for example a hexagonal profile.
- the shank section 24 of the applicator carrier 22 has a free end 36 opposite the bearing section 26, on which an applicator 23 in the form of a brush is arranged.
- a receiving recess (not shown) which is aligned in the axial direction with respect to the longitudinal axis 25 .
- a hair body 38 consisting of a large number of hairs 37 is received in this receiving recess.
- the receiving recess can be formed, for example, as a punched hole.
- the hair body 38 is fastened in the receiving recess expediently with the aid of a wire clip which, on the one hand, claws into the material of the shaft section 24 and, on the other hand, holds the hair 37 in the hair body 38 together.
- an elastic element in the form of a compression spring 31 acts between the closure cap 21 and the applicator support 22.
- the unscrewing limiting means i.e. the annular shoulder 27, rest against the end face 19, the closure cap 21 is moved relative to the applicator support 22 by tensioning the compression spring a position of use 39 in a screwed closed position 40 by means of guide means 41 axially movable.
- the guide means 41 comprise a stop 42 formed on the applicator carrier 22 and a counter-stop 43 formed on the closure cap 21, which jointly define the use position 39 and the closed position 40 by hitting one another.
- the cap 21 is in several parts formed, with a cap-shaped outer part 44 and a coaxially fixed in the outer part 44 sleeve-shaped inner part 45, on the inner surface 46 of the counter-stop 43 is formed.
- the closure cap 21 is expediently made of plastic, ie the outer part 44 and also the inner part 45 are made of plastic, in particular the outer part 44 and inner part 45 are plastic injection molded components.
- the outer part 44 has a base section 47 which, as exemplified in figure 1 shown, completely encloses the bearing section 26 of the applicator carrier 22 and the container neck 15 in the screwed-on closed position 40 .
- the base section 47 of the closure cap 21 has an outer jacket 48 with a cylindrical, in particular circular-cylindrical, cross-section.
- the base section 47 has an inner jacket 49 facing the inner part 45.
- the inner jacket of the outer part 44 also expediently has a cylindrical, in particular circular-cylindrical, cross-section.
- the outer part 44 has a roof section 50 which extends transversely to the longitudinal axis 45 and is integrally attached to the base section 47 .
- the inner part 45 is completely accommodated in the outer part 44 and fixed there by means of fixing means 52 in such a way that the outer part 44 and inner part 45 are fixed in a rotationally fixed manner and are fixed relatively immovably to one another in the axial direction.
- the fixing means 52 are formed by form-fitting means.
- recesses 43 arranged in the circumferential direction around the longitudinal axis and projections 44 plunging into the recesses 43 are provided as form-fitting means.
- the recesses are formed on the outer casing 55 of the inner part 45, while the projections 54 are arranged on the inner casing 49 of the outer part 44.
- the stop 42 and the counter-stop 43 jointly specify both the use position 39 and the closed position 40 by hitting each other.
- the stop 42 has a first and a second stop surface 56a, 56b, while the counter-stop 43 has a first and second counter-stop surface 57a, 57b.
- the first stop surface 56a and the first counter-stop surface 57a are in contact with one another.
- the second stop surface 56b and the second counter-stop surface 57b are in contact with one another.
- the stop 42 is formed on the applicator carrier 22 and the counter-stop 43 is formed on the closure cap 21 .
- the counter-stop 43 is accordingly arranged on the inner part 45 of the closure cap 21 .
- the counter-stop 43 is designed in the form of a projection 58 plunging into the annular groove 35 .
- the counter-stop surfaces 57a, 57b are formed by end faces of the projection 58 facing away from one another.
- the inner part 45 has, in addition to the counter-stop 53 in the form of the projection 58 on its inner casing 46, also an internal thread 59 formed on the inner casing 46, which cooperates with the external thread 18 formed on the container neck 15 when screwed on.
- the inner part 45 is a sleeve which is open at both ends.
- a sleeve is relatively easy to manufacture by means of plastic injection molding since it can be demolded from both sides and the annular stop collar or projection 58 can be formed at the separation of the two mold bodies.
- the radial extent of the projection 58 on the inner casing 46 of the inner part 45 can also be relatively large, since there is no demolding problem here, which in turn creates relatively wide counter-stop surfaces 57a, 57b, which means that there is defined contact with the associated stop surfaces 56a, 56b on the applicator carrier 22 can be done.
- the cap 21 Before use, the cap 21 is in the in figure 1 shown screwed closure position 40. In this closure position 40, the compression spring 31 is compressed, ie subjected to pressure.
- the closed position 40 is achieved by mutual abutment of the lower counter-stop surface 57b on the inner jacket 46 of the inner part 45 of the Closure cap 21 is specified on the lower stop surface 56b on the bearing section 26 of the applicator carrier 22 .
- Screw-on limiting means 28 on the end face 19 specify the immersion depth, which is also not changed when the closure cap 21 is screwed on by the relative mobility between the closure cap 21 and the applicator carrier 22 .

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Aufbewahrungs- und Appliziereinrichtung für Flüssigkeit, insbesondere Nagellack nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a storage and application device for liquid, in particular nail polish, according to the preamble of claim 1.
Die
Die
Insbesondere Nagellackflaschen, aber auch andere Aufbewahrungs- und Appliziereinrichtungen sind häufig wie folgt aufgebaut: Sie weisen einen Körper (oft in Form eines Glasfläschchens) auf, der einen Aufbewahrungsraum umschließt. Hierbei ist zumindest ein Teil des Körpers als Hohlstutzen mit einem Außengewinde ausgebildet. Der Hohlstutzen endet an einer Stirnfläche. Im Falle eines als Fläschchens ausgebildeten Körpers kann der Hohlstutzen auch als Flaschenhals bezeichnet werden.Nail polish bottles in particular, but also other storage and application devices are often constructed as follows: they have a body (often in the form of a glass bottle) which encloses a storage space. Here, at least part of the body is designed as a hollow socket with an external thread. The hollow socket ends at an end face. In the case of a body designed as a small bottle, the hollow connector can also be referred to as the neck of a bottle.
Weiterhin weisen die Aufbewahrungs- und Appliziereinrichtungen eine Verschluss- und Appliziereinheit auf. Diese besteht aus einer ein Innengewinde aufweisenden, auf das Außengewinde aufschraubbaren Verschlusskappe und ein mit der Verschlusskappe verbundenen Applikatorträger, an dessen freien Ende ein Applikator, beispielsweise in Form eines Pinsels, ausgebildet ist. Der Pinsel besteht aus einem aus einer Vielzahl von Haaren gebildeten Haarkörper. Um die Funktionalität des Applikators (also des Pinsels) vollständig aufrechtzuerhalten, ist es in der Regel notwendig, dass dieser in keinem Zustand den Boden des Aufbewahrungsraumes berührt, da er sonst deformiert würde, was seinen Gebrauchswert schmälern würde. Der Applikator nimmt den minimalen Abstand vom Boden des Aufbewahrungsraums nur bei aufgeschraubter Verschlusskappe ein. In der Regel sollte die Verschlusskappe jedoch während der Benutzung (im vorliegenden Fall beim Lackieren der Fingernägel) nicht aufgeschraubt werden, was auch schwierig, da man hierzu beide Hände benötigt. Hieraus ergibt sich das Problem, dass die Benutzung der Nagellackflasche recht schwierig ist, wenn sich deren Füllstand dem Ende zuneigt und/oder dass eine relative große Menge an Nagellack zurückbleibt und weggeworfen wird.Furthermore, the storage and application devices have a closure and application unit. This consists of a closure cap which has an internal thread and can be screwed onto the external thread, and an applicator carrier which is connected to the closure cap and on the free end of which an applicator, for example in the form of a brush, is formed. The brush consists of a hair body formed from a multiplicity of hairs. In order to fully maintain the functionality of the applicator (i.e. the brush), it is generally necessary that it does not touch the bottom of the storage space in any condition, since it would otherwise be deformed, which would reduce its utility value. The applicator occupies the minimum distance from the bottom of the storage room only when the cap is screwed on. As a rule, however, the cap should not be unscrewed during use (in the present case when painting the fingernails), which is also difficult because you need both hands for this. As a result, the problem arises that the nail polish bottle is quite difficult to use when the bottle is running low and/or that a relatively large amount of nail polish is left behind and thrown away.
Zur Lösung des beschriebenen Problems schlägt die
Die beschrieben Aufbewahrungs- und Appliziereinrichtung kann das oben dargestellte Problem somit zwar grundsätzlich teilweise lösen, weist jedoch zahlreiche praktische Nachteile auf. Zum einen ist auch die einhändige Bedienung relativ schwierig, da gleichzeitig der Körper (das Glasfläschchen) festgehalten und auf das erste Ende des Applikatorträgers gedrückt werden muss. Weiterhin ist der Aufwand, den man betreiben muss, um die notwendige Dichtigkeit im Aufbewahrungszustand zu erreichen, sehr hoch. Schließlich ist auch der Herstellungsaufwand hoch.The storage and application device described can therefore in principle partly solve the problem presented above, but has numerous practical disadvantages. On the one hand, one-handed operation is also relatively difficult, since the body (the glass vial) must be held and pressed onto the first end of the applicator carrier at the same time. Furthermore, the effort that has to be made to achieve the necessary tightness in the storage state is very high. Finally, the manufacturing cost is high.
Aus der
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Aufbewahrungs- und Appliziereinrichtung für Flüssigkeit der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, mit der sich die zuvor genannten Probleme lösen lassen und die zudem gegenüber dem Stand der Technik einfacher und kostengünstiger herzustellen ist.The object of the invention is to provide a storage and application device for liquid of the type mentioned at the outset, with which the aforementioned problems can be solved and which is also simpler and cheaper to produce than the prior art.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Aufbewahrungs- und Appliziereinrichtung mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in Unteransprüchen dargestellt.This problem is solved by a storage and application device with the features of independent claim 1 . Further developments of the invention are presented in the dependent claims.
Die erfindungsgemäße Aufbewahrungs- und Appliziereinrichtung für Flüssigkeit, insbesondere Nagellack, zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die ersten und zweiten Anschlagflächen einander zugewandt sind und in Axialrichtung voneinander beabstandet sind.The storage and application device according to the invention for liquid, in particular nail polish, is characterized in that the first and second stop surfaces face one another and are spaced apart from one another in the axial direction.
Im Gegensatz zum zuvor erwähnten Stand der Technik in Form der
In besonders bevorzugter Weise weist das Innenteil einen Innenmantel und einen zylindrischen Außenmantel auf.In a particularly preferred manner, the inner part has an inner casing and a cylindrical outer casing.
Der Anschlag weist eine erste und eine zweite Anschlagsfläche und der Gegen-Anschlag weist eine erste und zweite Gegen-Anschlagsfläche auf, wobei zur Vorgabe der Gebrauchsposition erster Anschlag und erster Gegen-Anschlag und zur Vorgabe der Verschlussposition zweiter Anschlag und zweiter Gegen-Anschlag in der Anlage zueinander liegen.The stop has a first and a second stop surface and the counter-stop has a first and second counter-stop surface, with the first stop and first counter-stop for specifying the usage position and the second stop and second counter-stop for specifying the closed position plant to each other.
Es wird also sowohl die aufgeschraubte Verschlussposition als auch die Gebrauchsposition durch Anschlag und Gegen-Anschlag vorgegeben.So both the screwed-on closure position and the use position are specified by the stop and counter-stop.
Die ersten und zweiten Anschlagsflächen sind einander zugewandt und in axialer Richtung voneinander beabstandet.The first and second abutment surfaces face each other and are spaced apart from each other in the axial direction.
Zweckmäßigerweise sind die ersten und zweiten Gegen-Anschlagsflächen voneinander abgewandt.The first and second counter-stop surfaces are expediently turned away from one another.
Bei einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind die Anschlagsflächen von Stirnflächen einer Ringnut gebildet.In a development of the invention, the stop faces are formed by end faces of an annular groove.
Es ist möglich, dass die Gegen-Anschlagsflächen von Stirnflächen eines in die Ringnut eintauchenden Vorsprungs gebildet sind. Zweckmäßigerweise ist der Vorsprung als ringförmiger Anschlagbund ausgebildet.It is possible that the counter-stop surfaces are formed by end faces of a projection that dips into the annular groove. The projection is expediently designed as an annular stop collar.
Die Ringnut besitzt gegenüber dem eintauchenden Vorsprung eine deutlich größere axiale Erstreckung.The annular groove has a significantly greater axial extent than the plunging projection.
In besonders bevorzugter Weise ist der Anschlag am Applikatorträger ausgebildet. Entsprechend ist es bevorzugt, dass der Gegen-Anschlag am Innenteil der Verschlusskappe ausgebildet ist. Prinzipiell wäre es jedoch auch möglich, den Gegen-Anschlag am Applikatorträger und den Anschlag am Innenteil der Verschlusskappe auszubilden. Von Vorteil ist jedoch, dass der Anschlag in Form einer Ringnut am Applikatorträger und der Gegen-Anschlag in Form eines Vorsprungs, insbesondere ringförmigen Anschlagbunds an der Verschlusskappe ausgebildet ist.In a particularly preferred manner, the stop is formed on the applicator carrier. Accordingly, it is preferred that the counter-stop is formed on the inner part of the closure cap. In principle, however, it would also be possible to design the counter-stop on the applicator carrier and the stop on the inner part of the closure cap. However, it is advantageous that the stop is in the form of an annular groove on the applicator support and the counter-stop is in the form of a projection, in particular an annular stop collar on the closure cap.
Bei einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind zur Fixierung des Innenteils im Außenteil Fixiermittel vorhanden, die derart ausgebildet sind, dass Außen- und Innenteil drehfest und in axialer Richtung zueinander relativ unbeweglich fixiert sind. Zweckmäßigerweise umfassen die Fixiermittel Formschlussmittel an einerseits dem Außenteil und andererseits am Innenteil, die radial ineinander eingreifen und dadurch eine axiale Sicherung des Innenteils im Außenteil schaffen.In a development of the invention, there are fixing means for fixing the inner part in the outer part, which are designed in such a way that the outer and inner parts are fixed in a rotationally fixed manner and are fixed relatively immovably in relation to one another in the axial direction. The fixing means expediently comprise form-fitting means on the outer part on the one hand and on the inner part on the other hand, which engage radially in one another and thereby create an axial securing of the inner part in the outer part.
Bei einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist das Innenteil das Innengewinde auf. Das Innengewinde ist zweckmäßigerweise am Innenmantel des Innenteils ausgebildet.In a development of the invention, the inner part has the internal thread. The internal thread is expediently formed on the inner surface of the inner part.
Bei einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung beaufschlagt das elastische Element die Verschlusskappe weg vom Applikatorträger und spannt es bei Nicht-Ineinandergreifen der Gewinde in die Gebrauchsposition vor.In a further development of the invention, the elastic element urges the closure cap away from the applicator carrier and prestresses it into the use position when the threads do not mesh.
In besonders bevorzugter Weise ist das elastische Element als Feder, insbesondere Druckfeder ausgebildet.In a particularly preferred manner, the elastic element is designed as a spring, in particular a compression spring.
Zweckmäßigerweise stützt sich die Druckfeder einerseits am Applikatorträger und andererseits am Außenteil der Verschlusskappe, insbesondere an einen Dachabschnitt der Verschlusskappe, ab.The compression spring is expediently supported on the one hand on the applicator carrier and on the other hand on the outer part of the closure cap, in particular on a roof section of the closure cap.
Bei einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist der Applikatorträger einen Schaftabschnitt auf, an dessen freien Ende der Applikator angeordnet ist und einen insbesondere gegenüber dem Schaftabschnitt durchmessergrößeren Lageabschnitt besitzt, wobei die Aufschraubbegrenzungsmittel durch eine ringförmige Schulter am Übergang zwischen dem Lagerabschnitt und dem Schaftabschnitt gebildet sind.In a further development of the invention, the applicator carrier has a shank section, at the free end of which the applicator is arranged and has a bearing section that is larger in diameter than the shank section in particular, with the unscrewing limiting means being formed by an annular shoulder at the transition between the bearing section and the shank section.
Bei einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind zwischen dem Lagerabschnitt des Applikatorträgers und dem Innenteil der Verschlusskappe Verdrehsicherungsmittel zur Verhinderung einer Verdrehung zwischen der Verschlusskappe und dem Applikatorträger vorhanden.In a further development of the invention, between the bearing section of the applicator carrier and the inner part of the closure cap, anti-rotation means are present to prevent rotation between the closure cap and the applicator carrier.
In besonders bevorzugter Weise sind die Verdrehsicherungsmittel durch eine mehrkantförmige Profilierung des Lagerabschnitts einerseits und des Innenmantels des Innenteils andererseits gebildet.In a particularly preferred manner, the anti-twist means are formed by a polygonal profiling of the bearing section on the one hand and the inner casing of the inner part on the other hand.

Die Aufbewahrungs- und Appliziereinrichtung 11 weist einen einen Behälterinnenraum 12 aufweisenden Vorratsbehälter 13 für den Nagellack auf. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel weist der Vorratsbehälter 13 einen Bauchabschnitt 14 auf, der den Behälterinnenraum 12 umgibt, wobei ein Bauchabschnitt 14 nicht zwingend notwendig ist. Wesentlich ist, dass der Vorratsbehälter 13 einen Behälterhals 15 aufweist, der von einer kanalartigen Behälteröffnung 16 durchsetzt ist. Das Innere des Behälterhalses 15, also die kanalartige Behälteröffnung 16, ist nicht befüllt, sondern der höchste Füllstand befindet sich in der Regel knapp unterhalb des Behälterhalses 15. Die Behälteröffnung 16 dient in diesem Fall lediglich für den Zugang zum Behälterinnenraum 12. Der Behälterhals 15 besitzt eine Mantelfläche 17, an dem ein Außengewinde 18 ausgebildet ist. Ferner besitzt der Behälterhals 15 eine ringförmige Stirnfläche 19.The storage and application device 11 has a

Der Applikatorträger 22 besitzt einen im Querschnitt runden, insbesondere kreisrunden relativ langengestreckten, sich längs einer Längsachse des Applikatorträgers 22 erstreckenden Schaftabschnitt 24, der biegsam ist. Gegebenenfalls können am Außenumfang bzw. an der Mantelfläche 17 des Schaftabschnitts 24 Profilierungen (nicht gezeigt) ausgebildet sein, wodurch der Lackfluss vom Schaft in Richtung Applikator 23 verbessert wird.The
Der Schaftabschnitt 24 ist im beschriebenen Beispielsfall einstückig mit einem Lagerabschnitt 26 verbunden, der sich koaxial zum Schaftabschnitt 24 an diesen anschließt. Der Lagerabschnitt 26 besitzt gegenüber dem Schaftabschnitt 24 einen größeren Durchmesser. Demnach ist am Übergang zwischen dem Schaftabschnitt 24 und den durchmessergrößeren Lageabschnitt 26 eine ringförmige Schulter 27 ausgebildet, die Aufschraubbegrenzungsmittel 28 bildet, falls die ringförmige Schulter 27 an die Stirnfläche 19 des Behälterhalses 15 angesetzt ist.In the example described, the

Das Innenteil 45 ist eine Hülse, die an beiden Enden offen ist. Eine derartige Hülse ist relativ einfach mittels Kunststoffspritzgießen herzustellen, da von beiden Seiten her entformt werden kann und der ringförmige Anschlagbund bzw. Vorsprung 58 an der Trennung der beiden Formkörper gebildet werden kann. Dadurch kann auch die radiale Erstreckung des Vorsprungs 58 am Innenmantel 46 des Innenteils 45 relativ groß ausfallen, da hier kein Entformungsproblem besteht, was wiederum relativ breite Gegen-Anschlagflächen 57a, 57b schafft, wodurch ein definiertes Anliegen an den zugeordneten Anschlagflächen 56a, 56b am Applikatorträger 22 erfolgen kann.The
