Definitions

  • the invention relates to an applicator for the application of cosmetic products and hair dye products such as mascara, the applicator comprising an oblong base body with a wand extension and a plurality of disc-like fitting elements which are arranged substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the base body at a distance from one another.
  • EP 0 038 524 injection-mold an envelope, which is made of a second material and carries the discs, around a core of a first material. Furthermore, this disclosure describes that the discs may be provided with recesses which are in line with each other in the longitudinal direction.
  • the fitting comprises at least two segments, in particular halves, whose fitting elements 4 , 5 are arranged at different distances from each other when seen in the longitudinal direction.
  • the fitting elements and the core of the applicator may be injection-molded as one piece from the same material or from different materials.
  • the core may consist of PP (polypropylene) and the fitting elements may consist of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), for example.
  • PP polypropylene
  • TPE thermoplastic elastomer
  • the distance between the fitting elements may amount to between 0.2 mm and 1.5 mm, preferably to approximately 0.6 mm.
  • the distance between the fitting elements which are arranged at a larger distance from each other, advantageously amounts to between 0.6 mm and 2.5 mm, preferably to approximately 0.9 mm.
  • first fitting elements are injection-molded as one piece with a half of the base body and the second fitting elements are injection-molded as one piece with a second half of the base body and the two halves of the base body are connected with each other.
  • the first and/or second fitting elements advantageously comprise recesses which are in line with each other in the longitudinal direction, wherein the flanks of the recesses advantageously extend in the radial direction.
  • the radially outer regions of the fitting elements may be provided with grooves which extend in the circumferential direction.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of an applicator according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a side view which is rotated through 90° relative to the illustration of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the region C in FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the region B in FIG. 2 ;
  • FIG. 5 is a view of the applicator along the central longitudinal axis, seen from the right-hand side of FIG. 2 ;
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the applicator in the region of the wand extension.
  • FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of the region D in FIG. 6 .
  • An applicator 1 shown in the drawing comprises a base body 2 which is formed like an oblong or rod-shaped core and includes a wand extension 3 , wherein the base body 2 is provided with disc-like or disc-segment-like fitting elements 4 , 5 which are arranged at an axial distance of X 1 or X 2 , respectively, from one another.
  • the applicator 1 comprises two halves 6 , 7 on both sides of a longitudinal symmetry plane which contains a central longitudinal axis 8 .
  • the fitting elements 4 , 5 are injection-molded as one piece with the rod-shaped core of the base body 2 comprising the halves 6 , 7 .
  • Production may be performed by means of a one-component injection molding process and a two-component injection molding process, wherein the 1 - c process produces integral pieces while the 2 - c process offers a choice between the following production methods:
  • the first fitting elements 4 of the half 7 are arranged at a distance X 1 from one another which is smaller than the axial distance X 2 between the second fitting elements 5 , with the result that the (axial) density of the fitting elements on half 7 exceeds that on half 6 .
  • the fitting elements 4 and 5 taper towards their radially outer edge so as to ensure a relatively even application of color from the root to the tip of the lash after being immersed into the coloring matter for the first time.
  • the fitting elements 4 , 5 have a larger axial width at their basis, in other words at the point of contact with the base body 2 , than at their outer edge. Axially adjacent fitting elements 4 , 5 therefore form an axial gap 13 which tapers inwardly for accommodating the coloring matter and the lashes which are immersed therein.
  • Each of the gaps 13 has two side walls which converge to form a V and which are formed by the adjacent fitting elements 4 , 5 .
  • the rolling movement generated by the consumer in conjunction with the simultaneous linear movement from the root to the tip of the lash, causes the coloring matter, which adheres to the lash after being immersed therein, to be wiped off evenly at the inventive shoulder 12 (cf. FIG. 4 ) which is formed by the transition from the region of lower fitting-element density to the region of higher fitting-element density, thus ensuring an even application of color from the root to the tip of the lash.
  • the outer contour in other words the envelope of the fitting elements 4 , 5 , may have very different geometries at the outer end remote from the wand extension 3 , for example a cylindrical shape, a cylindro-conical shape, a curved shape, the shape of a football or of a fir tree.
  • this outer contour has a conical taper 9 at its outer axial end. In the central region, the outer contour is concave.
  • the fitting elements 4 , 5 are symmetrical to the central longitudinal axis 8 . Alternatively, they may also be arranged in such a way as to be staggered with respect to the central longitudinal axis 8 .
  • the fitting elements 4 , 5 resemble a disc or a disc segment. This means that they extend in each case across an angular range of at least 22.5° in the circumferential direction and that they have in each case two axial side walls which extend in the circumferential direction as well. The extension of the fitting elements 4 , 5 in the circumferential direction therefore exceeds that in the axial direction in particular several times.
  • the fitting elements 4 , 5 are provided with recesses 10 whose flanks 11 extend radially outwardly and are in line with each other in the axial direction (cf. FIG. 5 ).
  • the radially outer edges of the fitting elements 4 , 5 may be provided with grooves 14 which extend in the circumferential direction (cf. FIG. 4 ).
