The applicator, at least by sections, is rotationally symmetrical or plurally symmetrical in relation to an axis of symmetry that is parallel to the principal sense of extension. At least one passage, which, at least by sections, is decentralized from the axis of symmetry of the applicator, leads from the container to the applicator. The result is a container and applicator unit by which to enable a cosmetic to be spread uniformly on the surface of application.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention relates to a container and applicator unit, in particular test unit, comprising a container for a cosmetic; an applicator top that is placed on the container, having an applicator which stands out therefrom in a principal sense of extension and which, at least by sections, is rotationally or plurally symmetrical in relation to an axis of symmetry and a center line, respectively, that is parallel to the principal sense of extension; and at least one passage that leads from the container to the applicator.
- 2. Background Art
- Units of the generic type for applying mascara to eyebrows or nail enamel to finger nails are familiar in the cosmetic field, which the following makes reference to by way of example. Nail enamel units regularly comprise a bottle made of glass, on which to screw a cap with a brush or some other bunch of fibers as an applicator. Mascara units also comprise a container for liquid mascara, with a screw-on cap having a stem with a brush of a plurality of bristles that are held between intertwisted wire segments. Numerous further designs of containers and applicators have been known, for instance applicators in the form of foam molded parts.
- Regarding the uniformity of application behavior by way of available applicator spreading surfaces, container and applicator units of the species still are in need of improvement, in particular in the light of an ever increasing demand of the market for smaller and/or testing sets.
- It is an object of the invention to further develop a container and applicator unit of the type mentioned at the outset for as uniform an application as possible of a cosmetic.
- According to the invention, this object is attained in a container and applicator unit wherein an at least one passage is decentralized, at least by sections, in relation to the axis of symmetry and center line, respectively, of the applicator.
- The at least one decentralized passage, which may be provided in addition to a central passage, enables even decentralized areas of the applicator to be charged with the cosmetic so that, on the whole, a greater applicator spreading surface is available for uniform application of the cosmetic. The number of passages, their grouping and cross-sectional design can be embodied in accordance with the shape of the applicator.
- Preferably, provision is made for a plurality of passages side by side in a row. This aids in large-surface charging of the applicator with a cosmetic, which again improves the uniformity of application.
- The applicator may further consist of comparatively soft material, such as rubber, thermoplastic elastomer, of a respective Shore hardness A of 5 to 100; PU/PE foam material of a pore count of approximately 40 to 100 ppi; or rubber, TPE or PVC, with artificial silk, rayon or polyamide flock coating. These materials have proved well suited for uniform spreading.
- The at least one passage may be a supply line that discharges by the applicator's side, projects beyond the applicator top and terminates in particular in the vicinity of the front end of the applicator. A passage of this type enables an area, turned towards the surface of application, of the applicator to be charged with a cosmetic. In this way, any cosmetic, consumed by the applicator for spreading, can be replaced promptly so that there is no interruption in the application process.
- The end of the at least one passage may have an outlet that is skewed towards the applicator. In this way, the at least one passage is moved as closely as possible towards the applicator for it to be optimally charged with a cosmetic.
- The at least one passage can also discharge into the tubular interior of the applicator top by a tip of in particular skewed design, with an initially central passage, which proceeds from the applicator top, then branching into a plurality of at least in part decentralized passages and mouthing into a plurality of decentralized outlets. The skewed tip of the applicator is of special assistance in application techniques in which the applicator is placed at an angle on the surface of application. The plurality of decentralized passages work in favor of charging the applicator uniformly with a cosmetic.
- The outlets may be covered by thin membranes of plastic or sealing material, for example hot-melt adhesive, which are removable when the unit is put to use, in particular by peeling, cutting or the like. In this embodiment, the applicator top can be designed as a closed unit prior to first use.
- Preferably, the applicator further comprises a plurality of hollow fibers which serve as passages, having a plurality of decentralized outlets. This kind of design of the applicator also aids in uniform cosmetic dispensing. Further, a central passage can open into a distribution passage with a plurality of outlets for a brush-type applicator. The distribution passage, which is the decentralized passage in this embodiment, enables the brush-type applicator to be charged uniformly with a cosmetic.
- The outlets may be enveloped in the shape of a U by the core of an applicator brush. A design of this type is suitable in particular upon use of the container and applicator unit as a mascara unit.
- In keeping with another embodiment, the applicator may comprise a plurality of individual fibers, at least the free ends of which are treated or coated with an antiadhesive layer, for example Teflon (PTFE). This prevents clotting of the applicator.

applicator 2 comprises twoapplicator tips 3 which are connected to theapplicator top 1 in a manner known per se and embodied as bunches of fibers of a cross-sectional shape of a stadium. To this end, theapplicator tips 3 are glued or stamped intoblind holes 3 a which are provided in a cross-sectionallyoval projection 3 c of theapplicator top 1 that stands out from thebase 3 b of theapplicator top 1. Theapplicator tips 3 are composed of a multiplicity ofindividual fibers 4. The surfaces of theapplicator tips 3 can be treated or coated with an antiadhesive layer, such as Teflon (PTFE). - The
individual fibers 4 stand out from theprojection 3 c in a principal sense ofextension 4 a that is plotted by a dot-dashed line in FIG. 2. In relation to a center line, or axis of symmetry, that is parallel to, or coincides with, the principal sense ofextension 4 a, theapplicator 2 is dually symmetric by reason of its two applicator tips. - FIGS. 1 and 3 illustrate that the
applicator tips 3 are spaced apart where theindividual fibers 4 extend from theprojection 3 c. In this interstice between the twoapplicator tips 3, provision is made in theprojection 3 c for threeparallel passages symmetry 4 a of theapplicator 2, theouter passages passages applicator tips 3. - The
passages extension 4 a. When theapplicator top 1 has been placed on the container, they connect the inside of the container to the space between the applicator tips. Where thepassages cutting edges 8 are provided on theapplicator top 1, which are integrally united with thebase 3 b. - The
applicator top 1, together with theapplicator 2 of FIGS. 1 to 3, is inserted as follows: - At first, the
applicator top 1 is placed by itsbase 3 b on the container that is still closed then. The cutting edges 8 pierce a correspondingly perforated upper wall of the container so that a connection is created between the interior of the container and thepassage 5 to 7. Afterwards, a cosmetic, for example nail enamel, can be applied by way of theapplicator 2. In this case, theapplicator top 1 is held in a position for the cosmetic to pass through thepassages applicator tips 3. The cosmetic then spreads uniformly over the entire width of theapplicator tips 3. - Further embodiments of applicator tops with applicators will be described in the following, taken in conjunction with FIGS.4 to 19. Components that correspond to those already described in conjunction with previous designs have the same reference numerals and will not be explained in detail once again.
- FIGS.4 to 6 illustrate a second embodiment of a container and applicator unit which differs from the first embodiment by the shape and material of the
applicator tips 3. FIG. 6 illustrates that the free ends of theapplicator tips 3 are skewed in the shape of a wedge so that their maximum length is contiguous to thepassages - In the second embodiment, the
applicator tips 3 consist of rubber of a Shore hardness A of 5 with a flock coating of artificial silk. By alternative, provision may also be made for a flock coating of rayon or polyamide. It is also conceivable to provide a Shore hardness A in a range between 5 and 100 instead of a Shore hardness of 5. Instead of rubber, theapplicator tips 3 may consist of a thermoplastic elastomer TPE of the same range of Shore hardness or of a PU/PE foam with a pore count of approximately 40 to 100 ppi or of soft PVC. The flock coating can be dropped. - FIGS.7 to 9 illustrate a third embodiment of a container and applicator unit. Provision is made for only a
single applicator tip 3 in the form of a bunch of fibers, which otherwise corresponds to anindividual applicator tip 3 of the first embodiment. In this third embodiment, asingle passage 9 replaces the three passages. On the part of the applicator, it mouthes into a wedge-shapedpassage section 10 by the side of theapplicator tip 3. Thepassage section 10 is skewed in such a way that its maximum length is directly contiguous to theapplicator tip 3. It stands out from theprojection 3 c to such an extent that thepassage 9 ends at approximately half the length of theindividual fibers 4 of theapplicator tip 3. While running through theprojection 3 c and thebase 3 b, thepassage 9 curves in the shape of an S, discharging centrally into thebase 3b between the twocutting edges 8. As seen in FIG. 7, thepassage 9 has a cross-sectional shape of a D in the vicinity of thepassage section 10. - Upon use of this third embodiment, the substance is at first discharged via the
passage 9 in the vicinity of the free ends of theindividual fibers 4. This enables the substance to be uniformly spread on the tips of theindividual fibers 4. - Instead of being composed of individual fibers, the
applicator tip 3 may also consist of the materials specified above in conjunction with the second embodiment. - FIGS.10 to 12 show a fourth embodiment of a container and applicator unit. In this case, a
principal passage 11, which is provided centrally in thebase 3 b andprojection 3 c, comprises apassage section 12 which, by analogy to thepassage 9 of the third embodiment, stands out from theprojection 3 c and the free end of which is wedge-shaped. In the fourth embodiment, theapplicator 2 is placed on thepassage section 12. The surface of theapplicator 2 may be treated or coated with an antiadhesive layer such as Teflon (PTFE). - The
applicator 2 is a sleeve with anend wall 13 of a skew complementary to the skewed end of theprincipal passage 10. Theend wall 13 is provided with a plurality ofindividual passages 14 that continue theprincipal passage 11 outwards through theend wall 13. Apart from a centralindividual passage 14 a, theindividual passages 14 are decentralized in relation tocenter line 4 a of theapplicator 2 that coincides with the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical jacket of theapplicator 2. - In the fourth embodiment, the
applicator 2 is fitted by acollar 15, on the side of the top, into a corresponding groove of theprojection 3 c. It is composed of one of the materials that have been described above in conjunction with the second embodiment. The number of individual passages can vary from two to twenty. In keeping with a modified design of the fourth embodiment, they may be covered by thin plastic membranes which can be removed by a user prior to using the container and applicator unit. - FIGS.13 to 15 illustrate a fifth embodiment of a container and applicator unit. In this case, the
principal passage 11 branches into a multiplicity of horizontalindividual passages 14 in the form of side cuts. They are produced in a passage top 16 which, towards theapplicator top 1, is placed by acollar 17 into a corresponding groove of theprojection 3 c. - The
passage top 16 is enveloped by anapplicator 2 which is bent in the shape of a U and comprises aU-shaped wire core 18 that is inserted into correspondingblind holes 19 of theprojection 3 c; and by radially extending, individual fibers in such a way that theindividual passages 14 discharge in a direction towards theindividual fibers 4, this kind of design ensuring uniform application. - FIGS.16 to 19 illustrate a sixth embodiment of a container and applicator unit. In this embodiment, the
applicator tip 3 is formed by a multiplicity ofhollow fibers 20 instead of solidindividual fibers 4, thehollow fibers 20 constituting individual passages that continue theprincipal passage 11. The surfaces of the tips of the hollow fibers can be treated or coated with an antiadhesive layer, for example Teflon (PTFE). FIG. 17 shows the round cross-sectional shape of the individualhollow fibers 20. By alternative, other cross-sectional shapes of the individualhollow fibers 20 are conceivable, for instance in the form of three capillaries that run in their longitudinal direction and are separated from each other by corresponding parting walls of plurally rotationally symmetrical arrangement. Any other number of capillaries per hollow fiber is possible too. Thehollow fibers 20 can also have an elliptical cross-sectional shape. Instead of a hollow fiber with a closed outer wall, provision can be made for an individual fiber of sheet material that curves in the cross-sectional shape of an S, with this curvature providing, for the substance that is to be spread, two parallel passages that are closed, except for a narrow aperture. Theapplicator tip 3 of the sixth embodiment is round, but it can also be flat, rectangular or in the shape of a stadium. Alternatively or additionally, it can be skewed in the shape of a wedge, as described for example in connection with the fourth embodiment.
