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.
  • a mascara container 400 is shown as an embodiment of the cosmetics container according to the invention, which, in particular 1 and 2 show a container part 401 and a container cap 402 which is provided with an applicator 403.
  • 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 .
  • a stripper 436 made of plastic is inserted into the threaded part 433 .
  • the wiper 436 has a stop collar 439 for external contact with an opening edge 440 of the container neck 431 .
  • the stop collar 439 delimits with an opening edge 444 an opening 445 formed in the wiper 414 for the brush rod 411 to pass through 436 formed radially outwards in the container neck 431 and behind the shoulder 434 formed on the container neck 431 in order to fix the wiper 436 in its position in the container neck 431.
  • the forming process for forming the fastening tabs 443 can be carried out in accordance with the forming process of the connecting projection 417 on the applicator holder 414 using an ultrasonic tool.
  • the forming process--comparable to the forming process of the connecting projection 417 which is carried out before the inner cap part 405 is inserted into the outer cap part 406--can take place before the container neck 431 is inserted into the container body 429.
