Definitions

  • the invention relates to an applicator for liquid, viscous or creamy substances for decoration, cure or lip-care purposes or the like of comparatively soft plastic material for being mounted on a stem or a stem connection attachment.
  • lip cosmetics are predominantly applied by means of a so-called lipstick, the cosmetic being of comparatively solid, dimensionally stable consistency and the molded part formed by the cosmetic being screwed out of a protective sleeve for use and screwed down again for storing.
  • this object is attained by a plurality of grooves and ribs being provided on the surface of the applicator. They ensure defined pick-up of sufficient quantities of cosmetics from a container, and transfer as well as defined and controlled delivery to the lips.
  • the applicator is provided to have an approximately almond-shaped basic form.
  • the ribs and grooves can be substantially parallel to one another, in particular linear.
  • the applicator can be joined to the stem or a stem attachment, respectively, by way of a surface that inclines towards the longitudinal axis, creating applicator surfaces of varying extension.
  • the applicator is provided to have a concave application surface.
  • the ribs and grooves can form substantially closed lines that are in particular approximately oval and congruent of each other.
  • the application surface preferably extends at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the applicator, optimally fitting the contour of lips when the stem of the applicator is held without constraint.
  • the applicator can comprise a stem attachment which can be connected to an applicator handle by means of locking engagement.
  • the width of the ribs and grooves, respectively, is in the range of 0.1 to 5 mm, preferably approximately 1.5 mm.
  • the depth can amount to for example 0.1 to 1.0 mm.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of the applicator according to the invention, comprising a stem connection attachment;
  • FIG. 2 is a front elevation
  • FIG. 3 is a view from the side
  • FIG. 4 is a view displaced by 90° as compared to the view of FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 5 is a side view of a second embodiment
  • FIG. 6 is a partially sectional view corresponding to FIG. 5;
  • FIG. 7 is a view from above of the embodiment according to FIG. 5.
  • an applicator 1 consists of soft plastic material (trade name Santoprene). It has an almond-shaped basic form and is provided with a stem connection attachment 2 which includes a locking groove 3 for snap-in engagement with a handle.
  • the applicator 1 At its front end, the applicator 1 has an approximately conical tip 4 .
  • the central longitudinal axis 6 of the applicator 1 and consequently the surface of the applicator, comprises a downward convexity.
  • the surface of the applicator 1 is provided with a plurality of ribs 7 and grooves 8 which encircle the basic body straightly and in parallel, as seen in FIG. 4.
  • the width B of the ribs is 0.3 mm and the depth T is 0.2 mm.
  • FIGS. 5 to 7 The embodiment, seen in FIGS. 5 to 7 , of an applicator 1 ′ according to the invention, is also provided with a stem attachment 2 ′′ and has a spherical basic shape, a concave application surface 9 ′ extending at an angle to the longitudinal axis 5 ′ at the front end; the concave application surface 9 ′ is provided with a plurality of ribs 7 ′ and grooves 8 ′ which, as seen in FIG. 6, run concentrically of each other across the application surface 9 ′.
  • the width B′ and the depth T′ of the grooves 8 ′ are approximately 0.4 mm, the cross-sectional configuration being corrugated.
