Description

The present invention relates to a housing for essentially stick-shaped active substance mass such as essentially stick-shaped cosmetics and / or care substances, in particular for deodorants, comprising at least one lower housing part with at least one base and at least one wall. The present invention also relates to an active ingredient product such as a cosmetic and / or care product with such a housing. The present invention also relates to a method for filling a housing according to the invention.

Housings for stick-shaped products are known in various configurations in the prior art. Such products generally have a consistency that can be rubbed off, so that an active ingredient contained in the stick-shaped product can be transferred to a surface.

Here z. B. pen-shaped products from the medical, cosmetic, or medical therapeutic field such. B. Deosticks and lipsticks are mentioned as examples. But also in other areas, e.g. B. for technical applications, pen-shaped products are offered. For example, stick greases and lubricants are known.

However, conventional housings for known pin-shaped bodies are often constructed in a structurally complex manner. Deodorant sticks have z. B. usually on an adjustment mechanism to move the pen-shaped cosmetics out of the housing for use. The pins are often unscrewed in such housings. Such adjustment mechanisms are sometimes complex in the Construction and can only be realized with difficulty, if at all, with sustainable materials such as paper or cardboard.

In the case of sustainable housings made of paper, for example, in some designs the deodorant stick is arranged in a cardboard tube, this tube having a movable base. A user can then slide the base into the tube so as to push the pin up and out of the tube.

However, it is disadvantageous with such packaging that a user also comes into contact with the inside of the tube, to which deodorant residues or cosmetic residues can adhere. In addition, the deodorant stick is relatively easy to accidentally slide back into the tube during use.

It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide an alternative embodiment of a stick-shaped product which improves the aforementioned disadvantages and in particular can be produced with sustainable materials.

This object is achieved by a housing with the features of claim 1 and by an active substance product with the features of claim 12 and by a method for filling a housing with the features of claim 13. Preferred developments are the subject of the dependent claims. Further advantages and features of the present invention emerge from the general description and the description of the exemplary embodiments.

The housing according to the invention serves to hold essentially stick-shaped active substance mass, preferably essentially stick-shaped cosmetics and / or care substances, in particular deodorants, and comprises at least one lower part Housing part with at least one base and at least one wall. In the lower housing part, at least one spacer device with at least one spacer element and at least one positioning element for stick-shaped active substance mass, such as stick-shaped cosmetics, is arranged at least in sections. Furthermore, at least one sleeve device is provided, which surrounds the spacer device at least in sections and is arranged at least in sections between the wall of the lower housing part and the spacer device. The sleeve device is provided displaceably or displaceably.

Active substance mass is understood to mean, in particular, an essentially solid mass which can be rubbed off at least slightly by a user. Soap-like and / or waxy active substance masses are particularly suitable here because of their consistency. In this context, an active ingredient is to be understood in particular not only as a pharmaceutically or medically active ingredient, but also any substance or any formulation that achieves a desired effect.

For example, the active substance mass can be assigned to the medical field, the cosmetic field and / or the personal care field. Here is an example of the use of the housing for deodorant sticks, lipsticks (care, cosmetic and / or therapeutic), cosmetic sticks, insect sticks as a repellent to prevent insect bites and / or against the itching after insect bites and / or for all medical or cosmetic or care products Substances that are offered in pen form are called.

The housing according to the invention can also be used in the technical field. For example, fats and / or lubricants in stick form in the inventive Housing are provided. Here, the use for rubbing seals such as. B. called the door seals of a car.

Even if the field of application for the housing according to the invention is very diverse, the advantages and further preferred configurations are explained below by way of example using a cosmetic product or using stick-shaped cosmetics as an active ingredient mass. However, the invention can of course be transferred to any other field of application and there, too, offers the advantages described below.

The sleeve device is in particular guided over the spacer device and can be displaced between the spacer device and the lower housing part. In this context, displaceable is in particular a displaceability of the sleeve device in the longitudinal extension of the sleeve, i.e. in the axial direction of the sleeve, so that the sleeve can preferably be pushed into the lower housing part at least in sections and pulled out of the lower housing part at least in sections.

The sleeve device, the spacer device and / or the sleeve device are preferably provided at least in sections from tubes or tube-like structures.

The bottom and the wall of the lower housing part can, depending on the configuration, preferably be provided as separate components or can also be manufactured in one piece.

The housing according to the invention offers many advantages. The housing according to the invention provides a housing for essentially stick-shaped cosmetics such as deodorants, which without a complex Adjusting mechanism for moving out the stick-shaped cosmetics comes from.

For this purpose, the housing has at least one spacer element, so that the stick-shaped cosmetics can be arranged at a distance from the bottom of the housing or the lower housing part. For example, stick-shaped cosmetics, such as a deodorant, protrude from the lower housing part by standing on the positioning element of the spacer device or even stand completely outside the lower housing part.

To protect the stick-shaped cosmetic, the sleeve device encompasses it or the cosmetic is arranged in the sleeve device. Because the stick-shaped cosmetics are spaced apart from the bottom of the lower housing part, the sleeve device can be pushed down for use of the stick-shaped cosmetics, so that the stick-shaped cosmetics are released at least in sections.

If the stick-shaped cosmetics are no longer used, a cover can simply be pushed on, for example, or the sleeve device can be moved back so that the stick-shaped cosmetics are covered again by the sleeve device.

The stick-shaped cosmetics can be released in particular by a rotary slide effect, the sleeve device being pushed at least a little bit into the lower housing part, with the sleeve device preferably being rotated at least slightly at the same time in order to make it easier to move the sleeve device along the stick-shaped cosmetics.

In comparison to, for example, housings for deodorants that are otherwise manufactured in a sustainable manner, which comprise a sleeve with a displaceable base, the pin-shaped Cosmetics do not automatically slide back into the housing when in use, as they are held in a fixed position by the spacer device. A user holds the lower housing part firmly so that the stick-shaped cosmetic is prevented from being covered by the sleeve device during use.

In addition, a user does not come into contact with surfaces which are in contact with the cosmetics. In the case of the known sustainable packaging with the sliding base, a user may come into contact with the inside of the packaging, which may be contaminated with cosmetic residues.

At least the lower housing part, the spacer device and / or the sleeve device are preferably manufactured at least in sections from cardboard, paper or and or the like. Manufactured here is to be understood in particular as meaning that the housing is at least partially and preferably completely made of paper, cardboard or other suitable materials, such as fiber composites, cellulose or the like, or comprises such materials.

Particularly preferably, at least the lower housing part and / or the sleeve device have a round cross-section. A round or oval cross-section is particularly preferred here, with rectangular cross-sections also advantageously being able to be used depending on the configuration.

According to the invention, at least one sleeve device is provided. In expedient developments, however, several sleeve devices and in particular two sleeve devices can preferably also be provided. Alternatively, a sleeve device can also be designed preferably in several parts and in particular in two parts. Depending on the configuration, this can have advantages in terms of manufacturing technology. So z. B. two Sleeve devices can be provided which co-define a closed filling space when the active substance mass is filled. After hardening, a user can then remove the upper part of the sleeve device or the upper sleeve device during the first use, so that the first area of the active substance mass is released for use. For this purpose, the sleeve devices can preferably have different lengths. The section of the sleeve device or the upper sleeve device to be removed before the first use can then in particular be provided shorter than the lower section of the sleeve device or the lower sleeve device.

The sleeve device is preferably supported on the inside of the wall of the lower housing part. In particular, the sleeve device is dimensioned in such a way that the sleeve device rests at least in sections on the lower housing part.

In advantageous developments, the positioning element is arranged at least in sections outside the housing of the lower housing part. Depending on the configuration, it is particularly preferred that the positioning element is arranged in the upper third, in particular in the upper quarter, preferably at the very top in the lower housing part or even outside the lower housing part. It can thus be achieved that a large part or even all of the pencil-shaped cosmetics are arranged outside the lower housing and can be released depending on the position of the sleeve device.

The height of the sleeve device preferably corresponds essentially to the height of the lower housing part. Depending on the configuration, it can also be provided that the sleeve device has a greater height than the lower housing part, so that the sleeve device is not completely inserted the lower housing part can be pushed in. The complete insertion of the sleeve device could possibly lead to the problem that the sleeve device can no longer be pushed back, since the user may then no longer be able to grasp it.

The spacer element is particularly preferably attached to the bottom of the lower housing part. Depending on the configuration, the spacer element can also be attached to the wall of the lower housing part. In any embodiment, however, it is expedient if the sleeve device can be pushed far enough into the lower housing part so that a predetermined part of the stick-shaped cosmetic can be released by pushing down the sleeve device.

In expedient refinements, the positioning element is fastened to the spacer element and / or manufactured in one piece with the spacer element. However, depending on the configuration, the positioning element can also rest freely on the spacer element, for example.

Preferably, the spacer device is at least partially tubular or as a tube.

At least one free cross section is particularly preferably provided in the spacer device. In particular, the spacer device is designed to be hollow, at least in sections. The spacer element is preferably designed to be hollow, the spacer element then expediently being tubular.

In expedient refinements, the positioning element is designed such that it can flow through at least in sections. In this way, the flowable active substance mass can preferably be filled into the filling space or into the sleeve device through the positioning element. The positioning element is preferably at least partially reticulated, grid-like and / or trained sieve-like. The configuration with webs, for example cross-shaped, is also preferred.

Particularly preferably, at least one opening is provided in the bottom of the lower housing part, which opening can in particular be closed with at least one closure device. Such a configuration is particularly advantageous if the base is already firmly connected to the wall of the lower housing part during filling. Then, in a preferred embodiment, the sleeve device can be filled from below through the opening in the base. For this purpose, for example, a filler piece or a hose is passed through the opening and through the free cross section in the spacer element in the direction of the positioning element through which flow can flow. The active substance mass made flowable can then be filled into the sleeve device through the positioning element.

The sleeve device is preferably supported at least in sections on the outside of the spacer device. Safe guidance of the sleeve device can thus be achieved.

Particularly preferably, a gap is formed between the outside of the spacer device and the inside of the wall of the lower housing part, at least in sections, in which the sleeve device is received and guided. In this way, in particular, a circumferential gap or an annular gap is formed, in particular when round cross-sections of the individual components are used.

At least one fixing element is preferably provided on and / or on the positioning element. In this case, such a fixing element can be made available, for example, by an adhesive layer which connects the stick-shaped cosmetics and the positioning element to one another. This achieves in particular that the sleeve device also after can be pushed back at the top to cover the stick-shaped cosmetics. Depending on the configuration, however, such a fixing element can also be formed, for example, by an anchor element which protrudes from the surface of the positioning element. In particular, when the stick-shaped cosmetics are poured directly into the housing, the cosmetic that is still liquid can then enclose the anchor element so that it is firmly connected to it after it has hardened.

At least one safety device is preferably provided. Such a securing device is used in particular to ensure that the sleeve device, which is held in the lower housing part so as to be movable or movable back and forth, cannot be pulled completely out of the lower housing part.

Such a securing device preferably comprises at least one collar or the like on the sleeve device and / or the spacer device and / or on the lower housing part. In particular, a type of collar is provided on the sleeve device and the spacer element.

At least one stop is preferably provided. Such a stop serves in particular to ensure that the sleeve device cannot be pushed completely into the housing. Such an application can be used particularly expediently if the sleeve device has the same height or a lower height than the lower housing part. Such a stop can in particular be provided in the lower housing part or on the lower housing part or on the spacer device.

At least one upper housing part is preferably provided. Such an upper housing part also preferably has at least one wall and, depending on the configuration, at least an upper cover element. In general, the upper housing part is provided as a cover so that the stick-shaped cosmetics can be covered when not in use. In particular, the upper and lower housing parts are matched to one another, so that when the cover is closed or put on or the upper housing part is put on, a continuous housing or, depending on the configuration, a continuous tube is created.

The upper housing part can preferably be pushed onto the sleeve device. This ensures that the upper housing part is held securely in a certain position.

In advantageous developments, the upper housing part is provided rotatably on the sleeve device and / or the lower housing part.

At least one molding device is preferably arranged in the upper housing part. Such a shaping device serves in particular to bring the upper end of the stick-shaped cosmetics back into a predetermined shape after use, so that the stick-shaped cosmetic is optimally shaped again when it is used again.

In expedient refinements, the shaping device is provided such that it can be removed from the upper housing part or the cover and / or is provided movably or displaceably in the upper housing part or cover. Thus, the shaping device can also be removed from the lid for use and / or moved within the lid with the lid on, in order to be brought into contact with the tip of the stick-shaped cosmetic.

The molding device particularly preferably comprises at least one support for the sleeve device. In such a configuration, it is possible in particular, the tip of the To shape stick-shaped cosmetics 100 and / or to let a predetermined piece of the stick-shaped cosmetics protrude from the sleeve device. For this purpose, the molding device is pushed onto the sleeve device until the molding device hits the tip of the stick-shaped cosmetic. The tip of the stick-shaped cosmetic can now be brought into a predetermined shape, for example by rotating the molding device. In addition or exclusively, by putting on the molding device with the support for the sleeve device, it can be achieved that a defined piece of the stick-shaped cosmetic protrudes from the sleeve device. The support of the shaping device meets the upper edge of the sleeve device and pushes it into the lower housing part until the shaping device rests on the tip of the stick-shaped cosmetic. In this way, a defined piece of the stick-shaped cosmetic is released.

At least one surface of the molding device and / or of the upper housing part can preferably have special shapes in order to provide the surface of the tip of the stick-shaped cosmetic with a special optical and / or functional design. In particular, structures such as honeycombs, lines, a corrugated surface and / or similar structures can be produced via such formations.

In all configurations, a thread can preferably also be provided in order to expose the stick-shaped cosmetic. In particular, an embodiment is preferred in which at least the sleeve device comprises a thread, the sleeve device then preferably being able to be turned up and down in interaction with a corresponding thread in the lower housing part and / or the spacer device. This provides an alternative to sliding the sleeve assembly.

The active ingredient product according to the invention, such as a cosmetic and / or care product, comprises at least one housing, as described above, and at least one essentially stick-shaped and rub-off active ingredient mass, such as, for example, essentially stick-shaped cosmetics, in particular a deodorant. In particular, the stick-shaped active substance mass, such as, for example, stick-shaped cosmetics or a care substance, can be released for use by moving the sleeve device. For this purpose, the sleeve device is preferably displaced downwards, at least in sections, into the lower housing part, so that the tip of the pen-shaped substance mass is released for use.

The active ingredient product according to the invention also offers the advantages as already explained above for the housing according to the invention.

The method according to the invention is suitable for filling a housing, as described above, with an active substance mass. For this purpose, an essentially closed filling space is produced by placing the upper housing part on the sleeve device and / or by inserting the sleeve device into a corresponding filling device. Flowable active substance mass is filled in through the spacer element and the positioning element. The active substance mass then hardens, as a result of which the stick-shaped active substance mass is present in the sleeve device.

In particular, the housing is filled in such a way that the housing is arranged with the upper housing part or the cover of the housing facing downwards. In this way, the flowable or made flowable active substance mass can flow into the sleeve device.

For filling, in particular a filling pipe, a hose and / or the like is preferably passed through an opening in the bottom of the lower housing part and further through the hollow spacer element to the positioning element. The active substance mass made flowable can then pass through the positioning element, which is designed to be flowable through, into the filling space. For this purpose, the positioning element is designed in particular in the form of a grid, net-like and / or sieve-like.

For filling, the upper housing part preferably provides a filling device which, together with the sleeve device, delimits the space to be filled. In particular, a molding device can be provided in the lower housing part which, when pouring the flowable active substance mass, forms the tip of the pen-shaped active substance mass or cosmetics during pouring.

The method according to the invention also offers many advantages. A considerable advantage is, among other things, the particularly simple filling of the housing with flowable active substance mass in order to provide the active substance product or cosmetic and / or care product or a deodorant according to the invention.

The flowable substance mass is achieved in particular by heating an active substance mass which is solid or which can be rubbed off at room temperature.

Preferably, enough active substance is filled or poured into the sleeve device that the positioning element is at least partially enclosed by the active substance (400, 100). In particular, so much active substance mass is filled in that the set-up element through which the flow can flow, for example a net, a sieve and / or a grid, is at least partially in the active substance mass. This is how it will be after curing Pen-shaped active substance mass firmly connected to the mounting element.

Before filling, the closure device is preferably removed from the opening in the bottom of the lower housing part and / or after filling, the closure device is inserted into the opening in the bottom of the lower housing part. In this way, the opening can be released for filling and / or closed after filling.

Further advantages and features of the present invention emerge from the exemplary embodiments, which are explained below with reference to the accompanying figures.

In the figures, exemplary embodiments of active ingredient products 400 according to the invention are shown, which are described on the basis of the design as a cosmetic product 300 or a deodorant stick. This is a purely exemplary representation, which can be applied equally to all other areas of application of the present invention.

In Figure 1 a housing 1 according to the invention or an active ingredient product 400 according to the invention, here a cosmetic product 300, are shown purely schematically in three views. In the upper view it can be seen that the housing 1 according to the invention has a lower housing part 2 and an upper housing part 20, the upper housing part 20 being formed here on the cover 22. When the cover 22 is in place, the housing 1 is tubular in the embodiment shown and here has an approximately round cross-section.

In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the housing 1 for the cosmetic product 300 according to the invention is made entirely of paper 9 or cardboard 10. Depending on the configuration, the housing 1 can also be made of other materials such as plastic. Due to the sustainability, however, the use of paper or cardboard is preferred.

In the middle view it is shown that the upper housing part 20 or the cover 22 has been removed or pulled off upwards. It can now be seen that the cosmetic product 300 essentially comprises stick-shaped active substance mass 400 or cosmetics 100 or care substances 100 or here deodorant 200, which is still covered by the sleeve device 8 in the middle view. This sleeve device 8 is movable or accommodated displaceably or displaceably in the lower housing part 2.

In the lower view one can see that by pushing down the sleeve device 8, the stick-shaped active substance mass 400 or cosmetics 100 or here the deodorant 200 can be partially released in order to use the cosmetic product 300.

A user holds the lower housing part 2 for use. By means of a sliding movement and / or a rotary sliding movement, he can push the sleeve device 8 or the tube 8 so far down into the lower housing part 2 that a sufficient piece of the cosmetic 100 is released.

Since a user holds the lower housing part 2 during use, the sleeve device 8 cannot move over the cosmetic 100 again during use, so that the sleeve 8 is prevented from slipping inadvertently.

In Figure 2 it is shown once again that the sleeve device 8 covers the cosmetics 100 or here the deodorant 200 when it is pushed upwards. For use, the sleeve device 8 can be shifted into the lower housing part 2 or pushed down along the active substance mass 400 or the cosmetic 100, so that a piece of the cosmetic 100 is released for use.

In Figure 3 an embodiment of a cosmetic product 300 according to the invention is shown in a sectional view from the side. In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the cosmetic product 300 comprises a housing 1 according to the invention and stick-shaped cosmetics 100, which in the exemplary embodiment shown here is deodorant 200.

In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the housing 1 according to the invention comprises a lower housing part 2 and an upper housing part 20, the upper housing part 20 being designed as a cover 22. In this case, a shaping device 21 is arranged in the upper housing part 20, which can reshape the tip of the stick-shaped cosmetic 100 after use.

The lower housing part 2 comprises a base 3 and a wall 4, which provide a receiving space for a spacer device 5. The spacer device 5 comprises a spacer element 6 and a positioning element 7. The stick-shaped active substance mass 400 or cosmetics 100 or the deodorant 200 can stand on this positioning element 7.

In the exemplary embodiment shown, the positioning element 7 rests loosely on the spacer element 6 and is held here by the sleeve device 8.

In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the entire housing 1 or all components of the housing 1 are made of paper 9 or cardboard 10. A sustainable housing 1 for cosmetics is thus made available, which can be used advantageously in the field of organic cosmetics in particular.

In the embodiment shown, the spacer element 6 of the spacer device 5 is tubular, with a gap 15 being formed between the spacer element 6 and the wall 4 of the lower housing part 2, in which the tubular device 8 is slidably received. The tube device 8 is arranged between the wall 4 and the spacer device 5.

In the exemplary embodiment shown, the height 12 of the sleeve device 8 essentially corresponds to the height 13 of the lower housing part 2. This means that as much pencil-shaped cosmetics as possible can be used 100 provided or covered by the sleeve device 8 and also released.

In the Figures 4 and 5 the previously shown embodiment of a cosmetic product 300 according to the invention with a housing 1 according to the invention is shown purely schematically with the upper housing part 20 removed.

In comparison of the Figures 4 and 5 it can be seen that the sleeve device 8 can be displaced or pushed into the lower housing part 2 in order to use the active substance mass 400 or the cosmetics 100 or, here, the deodorant 200.

Since a gap 15 is formed between the outside 14 of the spacer element 6 under the inside 11 of the wall 4 of the lower housing part 2, in which the sleeve device 8 is guided, the sleeve device can be moved up and down in the embodiment shown. In the embodiment shown, the sleeve device 8 is supported on the inside 11 of the wall 4 of the lower housing part 2. Depending on the configuration, a support can also be provided on the outside 14 of the spacer device 5 or of the spacer element 6, as shown here.

In the Figures 6 to 8 further exemplary embodiments of active ingredient products or cosmetic products 300 according to the invention or of housings 1 according to the invention are shown. The basic structure essentially corresponds to the exemplary embodiment shown above.

In Figure 6 it is shown that the positioning element 7 can be held or laterally enclosed by the spacer element 6. In addition, in Figure 6 shown that a fastening element 23 can be provided to the To fasten the spacer device 5 to the bottom 3 of the lower housing part 2.

In Figure 7 Another exemplary embodiment is shown in which the spacer device 5 is manufactured in one piece. In such a configuration, the spacer element 6 also provides the positioning element 7 for the stick-shaped active substance mass 400 or cosmetics 100.

In Figure 8 it is shown that the positioning element 7 of the spacer device 5 can also be arranged outside the lower housing part 2. The spacer element 6 is provided relatively narrow in the embodiment shown here, so that a relatively wide gap 15 is formed.

The erecting element 7 is placed here on the spacer element 6, the erecting element 7 being held by the sleeve device 8.

With such a configuration, a particularly large part of the active substance mass 400 or the cosmetic 100 is made available to the user, since the entire cosmetic is arranged outside the lower housing part 2.

In Figure 9 a further embodiment of a cosmetic product 300 according to the invention or a housing 1 according to the invention is shown, the basic structure again corresponding to the embodiments already described above. Here, too, a lower housing part 2 is provided, into which a sleeve device 8 can be pushed in order to release stick-shaped active substance mass 400 or cosmetics 100 or deodorant 200.

In the exemplary embodiment shown here, it is shown that a fixing element 16 can be provided in order to surround the stick-shaped cosmetic 100 with the positioning element 7 of the spacer device 5 connect to. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the fixing element 16 is designed as an adhesive layer 24. It can thus be achieved in particular that the sleeve device 8 can also be moved back into a position concealing the cosmetics 100 without pulling the cosmetics 100 off the positioning element 7.

In Figure 10 an embodiment of a cosmetic product 300 according to the invention or a housing 1 according to the invention is again shown purely schematically in a side sectional view, an anchor element 25 being provided here as the fixing element 16. Such an anchor element 25 can be used expediently in particular when the stick-shaped cosmetic 100 is poured directly into the housing 1. The cosmetic 100, which is still liquid during the pouring, can thus enclose the anchor element 25, with the stick-shaped active substance mass 400 or cosmetic 100 being held in relation to the positioning element 7 by the anchor element 25 after the cosmetic 100 has hardened.

In Figure 11 it is shown that a stop 11 can also be provided in the lower housing part 2 in order to prevent the sleeve device 8 from being able to be pushed completely into the lower housing part 2. This could mean that a user can no longer pull the sleeve device 8 out of the lower housing part 2.

Such a configuration is particularly advantageous when the sleeve device 8 has the same or a lower height 12 than the lower housing part 2.

In Figure 11 it is also shown purely schematically that a securing device 17 can be provided which prevents the sleeve device 8 from being completely removed from the lower housing part 2.

Such a safety device 17 can also be advantageously combined with each of the previously shown embodiments.

In the exemplary embodiment shown, it is provided that the securing device 17 has a collar 18 on the sleeve device 8 and the spacer element 6. When the sleeve device 8 is pulled out, the two collars 18 of the sleeve device 8 and the spacer element 6 interact so that the sleeve 8 is prevented from being pulled out further.

In Figure 12 is a modification of the in Figure 11 Shown embodiment shown in a schematic sectional view.

It is shown here that the molding device can also be provided loosely or removably in the upper housing part 20 or the cover 22. By means of a removable molding device, a user can, depending on the design, reshape the tip of the stick-shaped active substance mass 400 or cosmetic 100 particularly well and in a controlled manner.

In Figure 12 it is also shown that the forming device 21 comprises at least one support 26 for the sleeve device 8. With such a configuration, it is particularly possible to shape the tip of the pen-shaped and / or also to have a predetermined piece of the pen-shaped cosmetic 100 protrude from the sleeve device 8.

For this purpose, the shaping device 21 is pushed onto the sleeve device 8 until the shaping device 21 strikes the tip of the stick-shaped cosmetic 100. In the exemplary embodiment shown here, this is achieved in that the molding device can be displaced from the outside, for example through an opening in the top of the cover or through a Cover section is pushed in the direction of the tip of the stick-shaped active substance mass 400 or cosmetics 100 with the upper housing part 20 attached. The tip of the stick-shaped cosmetic can now be brought into a predetermined shape, for example by rotating the molding device.

In addition, the forming device 21 can be pushed onto the sleeve device 8 until the support 26 reaches the upper edge of the sleeve device 8. The shaping device 21 can now be pushed further down, as a result of which the sleeve device 8 is pushed further into the lower housing part 2.

In this way, a defined release of stick-shaped active substance mass 400 or cosmetics 100 can be ensured, since the shaping device can only be pushed so far over the sleeve device 8 until the shaping device 21 strikes the tip of the stick-shaped cosmetics.

The surface of the shaping device 21, which comes into contact with the stick-shaped cosmetics 100, can, depending on the configuration, have shapes (not shown in more detail in the figures) in order to provide the surface of the tip of the stick-shaped cosmetics 100 with a special optical and / or functional design. In particular, structures such as honeycombs, lines, a corrugated surface and / or similar structures can be produced at the tip of the stick-shaped cosmetics via such formations. Depending on the configuration, the formations can also be provided on another surface of the molding device 21 and / or on a surface of the upper housing part 20.

In Figure 13 FIG. 13 is a modification of the embodiment according to FIG Figure 12 shown. Here, in particular, the molding device 21 is used after it has been removed from the upper housing part 20 or provided from the cover 22. For this purpose, lateral wall sections which enclose the sleeve device 8 are provided on the molding device next to the support 26.

In the Figures 14 to 15 a possible way of filling a housing 1 according to the invention is shown purely schematically. In the method according to the invention for filling a housing 1, active substance mass 400 made flowable is filled via a filler piece 500 or a hose 500 through the lower housing part 2.

For this purpose, in the exemplary embodiment shown here, the sleeve device 8 is pulled out completely and the upper housing part 20 or the cover 22 is placed on the sleeve device 8. A closed filling space 27 is provided here, which is provided here by the sleeve device 8 and the upper housing part 20. Here, the upper housing part, together with the forming device 21, provides a filling device 28.

In the exemplary embodiment shown, the housing 1 stands on the cover 22 for filling. In the bottom 3 of the lower housing part 2, an opening 29 is provided here, which can be covered or closed by means of a closure device 31.

The spacer device 5, or here the spacer element 6, has a free flow cross section or cross section 31, for which the spacer element 6 is designed like a tube here.

Flowable active substance mass 400 or cosmetics 100 or deodorant 200 can be poured into the housing 1 through the free cross section 31. For this purpose, in the exemplary embodiment shown, a filler piece 500 is inserted through the opening 29 in the spacer element 6 or out in the free flow cross-section.

The positioning element 7 is designed here as a grid 32 and the flowable substance mass can therefore flow through it. The flowable active substance mass 400 thus reaches the filling space 27.

The flowable active substance mass 400 can be filled into the sleeve device up to a predetermined height. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the tip of the active substance mass 400, which is solid or stick-shaped after hardening, is shaped directly by the shaping device 21 in the upper housing part 20.

In the exemplary embodiment shown here, so much active substance mass 400 is poured into the sleeve device 8 until the positioning element 7 or, here, the grid 32 is at least partially cast in. In this way, after the active substance mass 400 has hardened, a relatively firm connection is created between the positioning element 7 and the pen-shaped active substance mass 400.

The closure device 30 can cover the opening 29 after filling. After hardening, the housing 1 can be turned over and placed on the lower housing part 2.

In the Figures 17 to 19 is shown purely schematically that the sleeve device 8 can also be designed in several parts or that several sleeve devices 8, here two sleeve devices 8, can be provided.

In Figure 17 is the filling of active substance mass 400 through an opening in the bottom of the lower housing part 2 by means of a filler piece 500 similar to the embodiment in FIG Figure 15 shown.

It can be seen that the sleeve device 8 is provided here by two separate tubes, the shorter sleeve device 8 being connected to the cover 22 or the upper housing part 20, so that a closed filling shape or a closed and straight filling space is created.

In Figure 19 the housing is shown purely schematically in the orientation intended for use after the filling and hardening of the active substance mass 400.

Figure 19 shows, purely schematically, that a user removes the cover 22 and the upper sleeve device 8 from the stick-shaped active substance mass 400 before the first use, whereby the first piece of the product is released. A user can now use the drug mass. The removed sleeve device can be disposed of. After use, the cover 22 is put back on.

If the released active substance mass 400 is no longer sufficient, a user can, as already described above for the other exemplary embodiments, slide down or turn down the other sleeve device 8 in order to release more product. By pushing up or turning up the sleeve device 8, the active substance mass is covered again.

In Figure 20 an alternative embodiment of a positioning element 7 is shown purely schematically. Here, the positioning element 7 is not closed or configured like a grid, but instead has webs arranged in the shape of a cross in order to allow the active substance mass 400 to flow through during filling.

It is pointed out that individual features of the exemplary embodiments shown can be exchanged between the exemplary embodiments or transferred to other exemplary embodiments as desired.
