Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cosmetics container, in particular a mascara container, the components of which are a container part, a container cap, a wiper inserted into a container neck arranged on the container part, and an applicator connected to the container cap, which has a brush rod provided with an applicator brush at its free end wiper penetrates.
- Cosmetic containers of the type mentioned at the outset are regularly designed as material hybrids, meaning that the cosmetic containers composed of a plurality of components have components that are made of different materials.
- these are mostly material hybrids or material mixes of aluminum and plastic, so that effective recycling requires the materials to be separated, especially if the respective proportion of material exceeds a certain order of magnitude.
- the separation often proves to be very expensive, and it is particularly in the case when a separation is not economically feasible, the inferior or less valuable material is sacrificed to enable recycling of the more valuable portion of the material. This can be done, for example, by melting down cosmetic containers that have both aluminum and plastic components for recycling, so that the materials are separated in this case by incineration or gasification of the plastic component.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a cosmetics container that enables simplified material separation.
- the cosmetics container according to the invention has the features of claim 1.
- the wiper unlike at least one of the other components mentioned above, is made of a plastic material
- material interfaces are at least partially formed for the separation between the different materials or components, which are designed as a detachable positive, material or non-positive connection, so that the cosmetics container according to the invention does not have to be fed to a recycling process in its entirety, but rather a division of the components for the subsequent feeding of the components to different ones even before recycling due to the material interfaces Recycling processes or, where appropriate, a separation of non-recyclable materials or materials that can only be recycled with great effort from materials with comparatively better suitability for recycling can take place.
- a connection end of the brush rod is connected to an applicator holder by means of a bayonet connection.
- a bayonet connection between an applicator holder and an applicator is advantageous in a cosmetics container provided with an applicator, in particular designed as a mascara container, since an applicator can be easily replaced.
- the scraper can therefore be made of any material as long as it fulfills the scraping function.
- the wiper can be formed not only from plastic, but also from a different material than the material otherwise used.
- the wiper unlike at least one of the other components mentioned above, is made of a plastic material.
- the cosmetics container according to the invention also offers the possibility of reducing the proportion of plastic to the lowest possible level, for example less than 10%, and of a uniform recycling process for the other components, particularly if they are made of a uniform material, such as aluminum in particular to choose.
- the cosmetics container according to the invention also makes it possible to simplify container recycling.
- the container cap has an outer cap part and an inner cap part, each of which has a sleeve part which is connected to one another via a press, adhesive or welded connection.
- the differentiation into an outer cap part and an inner cap part allows the use of different materials for the outer cap part and the inner cap part with the formation of a suitable detachable material interface between the sleeve parts in order to allow a high overall proportion of recyclable material on the container cap.
- an interface can be defined by the applicator holder, which allows a particularly simple separation of the applicator from the container cap or the inner part of the cap.
- the applicator holder preferably has a connection area for connection to the inner part of the cap, so that a separation between the applicator holder and the inner part of the cap is also possible.
- the applicator holder preferably has a cup-shaped receiving part for receiving the connection end with a connecting projection formed on a cup base, such that for connection to the inner cap part, a projection of the connecting projection protruding beyond an opening edge of a receiving opening formed in the cap base of the inner cap part engages behind the opening edge after reshaping. so that a reshaping can take place, for example, by means of an ultrasonic welding process, with the result that for a material separation a separation of the applicator holder from the inner part of the cap only has to be a separation of the excess material.
- the connecting end of the brush rod has two radially protruding pins arranged axially from a stop collar at a distance a for engaging in one in each case in a cup wall of the applicator holder has a locking groove formed at a distance a from a cup edge, the formation of the bayonet connection is possible with a particularly small use of material.
- the stop collar is preferably used at the same time for sealing contact against an opening edge of an opening formed in the wiper for the passage of the brush rod, so that the provision of a separate seal is not necessary.
- the wiper has a stop collar in one axial end of a sleeve inserted in the container neck for external contact with an opening edge of the container neck and on an opposite axial end of the sleeve several fastening tabs distributed over the circumference of a sleeve edge, which are deformed radially outwards on the container neck trained inner shoulder engage behind, a particularly easily separable material connection between the stripper and the container neck can be formed.

- the container cap 402 has an inner cap part 405 provided with a cap thread 404 and an outer cap part 406, with both the inner cap part 405 and the outer cap part 406 being sleeve-shaped and each having a cap base 407, 408 at one end and on each of the cap bases 407 , 408 opposite ends an opening edge 409, 410, between which a connection is formed, which can be designed as a press, adhesive or welded connection.
- the applicator 403 has a brush rod 411, the connection end 412 of which is connected by means of a bayonet connection 413 to an applicator holder 414, which is accommodated in a recess 415 formed in the cap base 407 of the cap inner part 405.
- the applicator holder 414 has a cup-shaped receiving part 416 ( figure 5 ) for receiving the connection end 412 with a connecting projection 417 formed on a cup bottom, wherein for connecting the applicator holder 414 to the cap inner part 405 an opening edge 418 in the cap bottom 407 of the Cap inner part 405 formed receiving opening 419 protruding overhang 420 of the connecting projection 417 engages behind the opening edge 418 after a deformation preferably carried out by means of an ultrasonic welding tool, not shown here.
- connection end 412 of the brush rod 411 has two radially projecting pins 421, which are diametrically opposed here, which, as in particular 6 shows, are arranged at a distance a from a stop collar 423 of the brush rod 411 and allow engagement in a respective locking groove 426 formed in a cup wall 424 of the applicator holder 414 at a distance a from a cup rim 425.
- an axially aligned insertion groove 427 is provided for each peg 421 in the cup wall 424, such that after the insertion of the connecting end 412 into the applicator holder 414 by means of an axial feed movement, a subsequent rotation of the brush rod 411 the pins 421 can be locked in the locking grooves 426 about their longitudinal axis.
- a pretension securing the connecting end 412 of the brush rod 411 in the applicator holder 414 can be generated by forming the locking grooves 426 slightly increasing in the direction of rotation with the stop collar 423 resting against the cup rim 425 .
- the container part 401 has a container body 429 which is provided with a bottom 428 and which has a receiving opening 430 for receiving a container neck 431 at its end opposite the bottom 428 .
- the container neck 431 is inserted into the receiving opening 430 with a connecting end 432 corresponding in outside diameter to the inside diameter of the container body 429 in such a way that a shoulder 434 is arranged flush with an opening edge 435 of the receiving opening 430 .

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Kosmetikbehälter, insbesondere Mascarabehälter, der als Komponenten ein Behälterteil, eine Behälterkappe, einen in einen am Behälterteil angeordneten Behälterhals eingesetzten Abstreifer sowie einen mit der Behälterkappe verbundenen Applikator aufweist, der mit einer an ihrem freien Ende mit einer Applikatorbürste versehenen Bürstenstange den Abstreifer durchdringt.The present invention relates to a cosmetics container, in particular a mascara container, the components of which are a container part, a container cap, a wiper inserted into a container neck arranged on the container part, and an applicator connected to the container cap, which has a brush rod provided with an applicator brush at its free end wiper penetrates.
Kosmetikbehälter der eingangs genannten Art sind regelmäßig als Materialhybride ausgebildet, will heißen, dass die aus einer Mehrzahl von Komponenten zusammengesetzten Kosmetikbehälter Komponenten aufweisen, die aus unterschiedlichen Materialien bestehen. Im Fall der eingangs genannten Kosmetikbehälter handelt es sich dabei zumeist um Materialhybride oder Materialmixe aus Aluminium und Kunststoff, sodass, insbesondere in dem Fall, wenn der jeweilige Materialanteil eine bestimmte Größenordnung übersteigt, ein effektives Recycling eine Trennung der Materialien voraussetzt. Dabei erweist sich die Trennung häufig als sehr aufwendig, wobei es insbesondere in dem Fall, wenn eine Trennung nicht wirtschaftlich durchführbar ist, das minderwertige oder weniger wertvolle Material geopfert wird, um ein Recycling des wertvolleren Materialanteils zu ermöglichen. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch geschehen, dass Kosmetikbehälter, die sowohl Aluminium als auch Kunststoffkomponenten aufweisen, zum Recycling eingeschmolzen werden, sodass eine Trennung der Materialien in diesem Fall durch eine Verbrennung bzw. Vergasung des Kunststoffanteils erfolgt.Cosmetic containers of the type mentioned at the outset are regularly designed as material hybrids, meaning that the cosmetic containers composed of a plurality of components have components that are made of different materials. In the case of the cosmetic containers mentioned at the outset, these are mostly material hybrids or material mixes of aluminum and plastic, so that effective recycling requires the materials to be separated, especially if the respective proportion of material exceeds a certain order of magnitude. The separation often proves to be very expensive, and it is particularly in the case when a separation is not economically feasible, the inferior or less valuable material is sacrificed to enable recycling of the more valuable portion of the material. This can be done, for example, by melting down cosmetic containers that have both aluminum and plastic components for recycling, so that the materials are separated in this case by incineration or gasification of the plastic component.
Ein möglichst umfangreiches Recycling eines aus mehreren Komponenten zusammengesetzten Kosmetikbehälters wird also beispielsweise durch zwei unterschiedliche Ansätze möglich, wobei bei dem ersten Ansatz der Kosmetikbehälter so beschaffen ist, dass die einzelnen Komponenten auf möglichst einfache Art und Weise voneinander getrennt werden können, oder bei dem zweiten Ansatz ein möglichst geringer Kunststoffanteil angestrebt wird, um beim Opfern des Kunststoffmaterials den nicht recyclebaren Anteil des Kosmetikbehälter auf ein Minimum zu beschränken.The most comprehensive possible recycling of a cosmetics container composed of several components is thus possible, for example, with two different approaches, with the first approach the cosmetics container being designed in such a way that the individual components can be separated from one another in the simplest possible way, or with the second approach the aim is to keep the plastic content as low as possible in order to minimize the non-recyclable portion of the cosmetic container when sacrificing the plastic material.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Kosmetikbehälter vorzuschlagen, der eine vereinfachte Materialtrennung ermöglicht.The present invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a cosmetics container that enables simplified material separation.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe weist der erfindungsgemäße Kosmetikbehälter die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 auf.To solve this problem, the cosmetics container according to the invention has the features of claim 1.
Erfindungsgemäß sind bei dem Kosmetikbehälter, bei dem der Abstreifer abweichend von zumindest einer der weiteren vorgenannten Komponenten aus einem Kunststoffmaterial ist, zur Trennung zwischen den unterschiedlichen Materialien bzw. Komponenten zumindest teilweise Materialschnittstellen ausgebildet, die als lösbare formschlüssige, stoffschlüssige oder kraftschlüssige Verbindung ausgebildet sind, sodass der erfindungsgemäße Kosmetikbehälter nicht in seiner Gesamtheit einem Recyclingprozess zugeführt werden muss, sondern bereits vor einem Recycling aufgrund der Materialschnittstellen eine Aufteilung der Komponenten zur nachfolgenden Zuführung der Komponenten zu unterschiedlichen Recyclingverfahren oder gegebenenfalls eine Trennung nicht recyclebarer oder nur mit sehr hohem Aufwand recyclebarer Materialien von den Materialien mit vergleichsweise besserer Recyclingeignung erfolgen kann. Zur vereinfachten Materialtrennung auch unabhängig von einer Recyclingproblematik ist ein Anschlussende der Bürstenstange mittels einer Bajonettverbindung mit einem Applikatorhalter verbunden.According to the invention, in the case of the cosmetics container, in which the wiper, unlike at least one of the other components mentioned above, is made of a plastic material, material interfaces are at least partially formed for the separation between the different materials or components, which are designed as a detachable positive, material or non-positive connection, so that the cosmetics container according to the invention does not have to be fed to a recycling process in its entirety, but rather a division of the components for the subsequent feeding of the components to different ones even before recycling due to the material interfaces Recycling processes or, where appropriate, a separation of non-recyclable materials or materials that can only be recycled with great effort from materials with comparatively better suitability for recycling can take place. For simplified material separation, also independent of recycling problems, a connection end of the brush rod is connected to an applicator holder by means of a bayonet connection.
Auch unabhängig von einer Recyclingproblematik ist eine Bajonettverbindung zwischen einem Applikatorhalter und einem Applikator bei einem mit einem Applikator versehenen, insbesondere als Mascarabehälter ausgeführten Kosmetikbehälter von Vorteil, da ein einfacher Austausch eines Applikators erfolgen kann. Dieser Vorteil besteht natürlich auch unabhängig davon, ob die Komponenten des Behälters aus unterschiedlichen oder übereinstimmenden Materialien gebildet sind. Im Falle eines Mascarabehälters kann daher auch der Abstreifer aus einem beliebigen Material gebildet sein, so lange er die Abstreiferfunktion erfüllt. Der Abstreifer kann nicht nur aus Kunststoff, sondern auch aus einem anderen als dem im Übrigen verwendeten Material abweichenden Material gebildet sein.Regardless of recycling problems, a bayonet connection between an applicator holder and an applicator is advantageous in a cosmetics container provided with an applicator, in particular designed as a mascara container, since an applicator can be easily replaced. Of course, this advantage also exists regardless of whether the components of the container are formed from different or identical materials. In the case of a mascara container, the scraper can therefore be made of any material as long as it fulfills the scraping function. The wiper can be formed not only from plastic, but also from a different material than the material otherwise used.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn der Abstreifer abweichend von zumindest einer der weiteren vorgenannten Komponenten aus einem Kunststoffmaterial ist.It is particularly advantageous if the wiper, unlike at least one of the other components mentioned above, is made of a plastic material.
Der erfindungsgemäße Kosmetikbehälter bietet auch die Möglichkeit, den Kunststoffanteil auf eine möglichst geringes Maß, etwa kleiner als 10 %, zu reduzieren und für die übrigen Komponenten, insbesondere in dem Fall, wenn diese aus einem einheitlichen Material, wie insbesondere Aluminium bestehen, ein einheitliches Recyclingverfahren zu wählen.The cosmetics container according to the invention also offers the possibility of reducing the proportion of plastic to the lowest possible level, for example less than 10%, and of a uniform recycling process for the other components, particularly if they are made of a uniform material, such as aluminum in particular to choose.
In jedem Fall ermöglicht somit der erfindungsgemäße Kosmetikbehälter auch eine Vereinfachung des Behälterrecyclings.In any case, the cosmetics container according to the invention also makes it possible to simplify container recycling.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Behälterkappe ein Kappenaußenteil und ein Kappeninnenteil aufweist, die jeweils ein Hülsenteil aufweisen, welche über eine Press-, Klebe- oder Schweißverbindung miteinander verbunden sind. Die Differenzierung in ein Kappenaußenteil und ein Kappeninnenteil ermöglicht gegebenenfalls die Verwendung unterschiedlicher Materialien für den Kappenaußenteil und den Kappeninnenteil mit Ausbildung einer geeigneten lösbaren Materialschnittstelle zwischen den Hülsenteilen, um insgesamt einen hohen Anteil eines recyclebaren Materials an der Behälterkappe zu ermöglichen.It is particularly advantageous if the container cap has an outer cap part and an inner cap part, each of which has a sleeve part which is connected to one another via a press, adhesive or welded connection. The differentiation into an outer cap part and an inner cap part allows the use of different materials for the outer cap part and the inner cap part with the formation of a suitable detachable material interface between the sleeve parts in order to allow a high overall proportion of recyclable material on the container cap.
Wenn der Applikator mittels des Applikatorhalters im Kappeninnenteil gehalten ist, kann durch den Applikatorhalter eine Schnittstelle definiert werden, die eine besonders einfache Trennung des Applikators von der Behälterkappe bzw. dem Kappeninnenteil ermöglicht.If the applicator is held in the inner part of the cap by means of the applicator holder, an interface can be defined by the applicator holder, which allows a particularly simple separation of the applicator from the container cap or the inner part of the cap.
Vorzugsweise weist der Applikatorhalter zur Verbindung mit dem Kappeninnenteil einen Verbindungsbereich auf, sodass auch eine Trennung zwischen dem Applikatorhalter und dem Kappeninnenteil möglich ist.The applicator holder preferably has a connection area for connection to the inner part of the cap, so that a separation between the applicator holder and the inner part of the cap is also possible.
Vorzugsweise weist hierzu der Applikatorhalter einen becherförmig ausgebildeten Aufnahmeteil zur Aufnahme des Anschlussendes mit einem an einem Becherboden ausgebildeten Verbindungsvorsprung auf, derart, dass zur Verbindung mit dem Kappeninnenteil ein einen Öffnungsrand einer im Kappenboden des Kappeninnenteils ausgebildeten Aufnahmeöffnung überragender Überstand des Verbindungsvorsprungs nach Umformung dem Öffnungsrand hintergreift, sodass eine Umformung etwa durch einen Ultraschallschweißvorgang erfolgen kann, mit der Folge, dass für eine Materialtrennung eine Trennung des Applikatorhalters vom Kappeninnenteil lediglich eine Abtrennung des Materialüberstands erfolgen muss.For this purpose, the applicator holder preferably has a cup-shaped receiving part for receiving the connection end with a connecting projection formed on a cup base, such that for connection to the inner cap part, a projection of the connecting projection protruding beyond an opening edge of a receiving opening formed in the cap base of the inner cap part engages behind the opening edge after reshaping. so that a reshaping can take place, for example, by means of an ultrasonic welding process, with the result that for a material separation a separation of the applicator holder from the inner part of the cap only has to be a separation of the excess material.
Wenn das Anschlussende der Bürstenstange zwei radial vorstehende axial von einem Anschlagbund in einem Abstand a angeordnete Zapfen zum Eingriff in jeweils eine in einer Becherwand des Applikatorhalters im Abstand a von einem Becherrand ausgebildete Verriegelungsnut aufweist, ist die Ausbildung der Bajonettverbindung mit besonders geringem Materialeinsatz möglich.If the connecting end of the brush rod has two radially protruding pins arranged axially from a stop collar at a distance a for engaging in one in each case in a cup wall of the applicator holder has a locking groove formed at a distance a from a cup edge, the formation of the bayonet connection is possible with a particularly small use of material.
Vorzugsweise dient dabei der Anschlagbund gleichzeitig zur abdichtenden Anlage gegen einen Öffnungsrand einer zur Durchführung der Bürstenstange im Abstreifer ausgebildeten Öffnung, sodass die Bereitstellung einer separaten Dichtung nicht notwendig ist.The stop collar is preferably used at the same time for sealing contact against an opening edge of an opening formed in the wiper for the passage of the brush rod, so that the provision of a separate seal is not necessary.
Wenn der Abstreifer in einem axialen Ende einer in dem Behälterhals eingesetzten Hülse ein Anschlagbund zur äußeren Anlage an einem Öffnungsrand des Behälterhalses aufweist sowie an einem gegenüberliegenden axialen Ende der Hülse mehrere über den Umfang eines Hülsenrandes verteilt angeordnete Befestigungslaschen, die radial nach außen umgeformt eine am Behälterhals ausgebildete innere Schulter hintergreifen, kann auch eine besonders leicht trennbare Materialverbindung zwischen dem Abstreifer und dem Behälterhals ausgebildet werden.If the wiper has a stop collar in one axial end of a sleeve inserted in the container neck for external contact with an opening edge of the container neck and on an opposite axial end of the sleeve several fastening tabs distributed over the circumference of a sleeve edge, which are deformed radially outwards on the container neck trained inner shoulder engage behind, a particularly easily separable material connection between the stripper and the container neck can be formed.
