Description

The present invention relates to a cosmetic pencil having a working end, a pinching area and a combing or brushing implement.

Cosmetic pencils of the type mentioned above are known. Such a known cosmetic pencil is shown in FIG. A known cosmetic pencil has a brushing implement attached to the end opposite the working end. Therefore, the cosmetic pencil must be rotated if it is desired to use the brushing implement after using the working end. This rotation makes the makeup work much more difficult.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to improve a pencil of the above-mentioned kind so that its handling is simplified.

According to the invention, this object set is solved by the combing or brushing instrument being between the working end and the pinching area. In other words, the combing or brushing instrument is on the same side of the hand holding the pencil as the working end, so that if you also want to use the combing or brushing instrument after using the working end, you can remove the pencil. No need to rotate.

According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the combing or brushing instrument may be axially movable. This design is particularly useful when the working end can be sharpened. Thus, the combing or brushing instrument can be moved to the appropriate position depending on the shortened length that has been shaved. This allows the combing or brushing instrument to always be positioned between the working end and the pinching area regardless of the length of the pencil.

Also according to the invention, the combing or brushing instrument is preferably held stationary with respect to rotation. This means that the combing or brushing can be done by rotating the combing or brushing instrument about the longitudinal axis of the pencil.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the combing or brushing appliance is cuff-shaped. In other words, the combing or brushing instrument, or at least the tooth or bristle support structure of the brushing or combing instrument, is attached to the pencil such that the combing or brushing instrument is held generally against the pencil. at least partially surrounds the

According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the combing or brushing instrument is pressed against the handle of the pencil. Here, the handle of the pencil is understood to be the area from the working end to the end opposite the working end.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the teeth and/or bristles of the combing or brushing instrument are arranged in at least one row annularly surrounding the pencil or in at least one row parallel to the main axis of the pencil. It is specified that it is placed.

Additionally or alternatively, it may be specified that the teeth and/or bristles of the combing or brushing instrument are arranged in at least one row that spirals the pencil.

Therefore, the arrangement of individual teeth and/or bristles may be optimally designed according to the application area.

Finally, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is specified that at least one element of the row has a plurality of teeth and/or hairs.

In other words, the design specifies that the teeth and/or bristles are arranged in clusters and then each cluster is arranged in at least one row. The clusters may be in the form of points, for example.

In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail by means of preferred exemplary embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 shows a conventional cosmetic pencil held in a hand in three different positions; FIG. FIG. 4 is a partial view of a cosmetic pencil held in a hand, in accordance with a preferred exemplary embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 4 illustrates four cosmetic pencils, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 1 shows a cosmetic pencil having long and short machinable working ends each with a moveable brush device. FIG. 3 shows two cosmetic pencils according to a further exemplary embodiment of the invention;

FIG. 1a shows a conventional cosmetic pencil, generally designated 110, having a working end 112, which is held in one hand for working with the working end 112. FIG. ing. A brushing implement 114 is located at the end opposite the working end 112 . A portion of the handle located between the working end 112 and the brushing implement 114 has a pinching area indicated by reference numeral 116 .

When working with the brushing implement 114, the pencil shown in FIG. 1 must be rotated to correspond to the depiction of FIG. 1b in order to hold it according to the depiction of FIG. 1c.

In the case of the conventional cosmetic pencil according to FIG. 1, pinching area 116 is between working end 112 and brushing implement 114 .

FIG. 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of a cosmetic pencil according to the invention. This cosmetic pencil is indicated generally by reference numeral 10 . The cosmetic pencil has a working end 12, a brushing implement 14 and a pinching area 16. As shown in FIG. However, in contrast to conventional cosmetic pencils, the pinching region 16 is located behind the brushing implement 14 as viewed from the working end 12, rather than between the working end 12 and the brushing implement 14. there is This means that if one wishes to use the brushing implement 14 after using the working end 12, the pencil does not need to be rotated.

FIG. 3 shows four further exemplary embodiments of cosmetic pencils according to the invention. Here, the brushing implements 14 are each cuff-like and held rotationally fixed relative to the cosmetic pencil, as in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG.

FIG. 4 shows an exemplary embodiment of the invention having a machinable working end 12 . Here, Figure 4a shows the cosmetic pencil before first use. Figure 4b shows the cosmetic pencil after it has been sharpened multiple times. Therefore, the cosmetic pencil is shorter in appearance in Figure 4b than in Figure 4a. To account for the shortening of the pencil as it is shaved, it is specified in this exemplary embodiment that the brushing implement 14 is held axially movable (see arrow). This means that the brushing implement 14 can be positioned between the working end 12 and the pinching area 16 regardless of the overall length of the cosmetic pencil 10 . Again, the brushing implement 14 is designed to be cuff-like.

In the design according to FIGS. 2 to 4, it is also possible to design the brushing implement shown in each case as a combing implement. Here, the individual bristles and/or teeth of the combing or brushing instrument may be arranged relative to each other in any desired configuration.

However, in many cases it will be advantageous to arrange the bristles and/or teeth in at least one row that spirally winds the pencil 10 . However, such rows may also be arranged so as to encircle the pencil in a ring or parallel to the main axis A of the pencil (Fig. 4).

The columns may be interrupted, as in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 5a. Here, between the rows of bristles or teeth there are provided a plurality of gaps parallel to the main axis A of the pencil, one of these gaps being indicated by reference numeral 18 by way of example.

Figure 5b shows an embodiment having a plurality of tufts 20 of bristles, such tufts being distributed annularly around the pencil. In other words, according to this embodiment, the bristles are grouped into clusters to form "dots" which in turn form rows that circularly surround the pencil.

Several features of the invention disclosed in the above description, claims and drawings can be essential for realizing the invention in its various embodiments, either individually or in any combination.
