Definitions

  • the cosmetic liquid applicator especially suitable to be used as a nail polish remover, hereinafter abbreviated and referred to as the "applicator" in accordance with its basic function of a nail polish removing device can be classified in accordance with IPC 6 as A 45 D 29/17.
  • the symbol A 45 D 29/17 comprises all devices that are used in manicure and similar cosmetic interventions with a special emphasis being put on nail cleaning devices during a manicure or a pedicure. Since the invention itself is actually a liquid applicator brush, in a broader sense it can be classified as a brush with a reservoir for the liquid application on the brush.
  • the liquid is emptied from the reservoir and the invention can thus - according to its use - be additionally classified as A 46 B 11/02 pursuant to the International Patent Classification.
  • the above mentioned brushes are to be understood in the broadest sense possible, i.e. as part of the device that performs the cleaning function.
  • the professional manicurist In order to promote his/her personal work, the professional manicurist must have flawless nails, which also means perfectly polished nails. In the application of the above mentioned old-fashioned method with cotton wool and a solvent, such solvent will sooner or later, due to inattentiveness or a capillary effect, come into contact with the nail polish on the professional manicurist's nails and spoil the perfect appearance. Furthermore, in personal use there is also a need to "improve" only one nail, which due to the lack of skill results in removing of nail polish from all nails and applying a new layer. Needless to say, the frequent use of solvents affects the nail surface so that the nails lose their quality regardless of the fact that nail polish removers contain not only dissolving agents but also oils and vitamins to help the nails recover after a treatment.
  • the liquid applicator could be efficiently applied for other cosmetic purposes such as cleaning of small and well-defined surfaces, e. g. in treatment of acne or application of eye shadow, foundation and similar substances of different viscosity and invasiveness grades.
  • the above mentioned invention could be used for restoration of works of art, repairs and preparations that include application of a liquid layer or film, as it is the case with soldering, removing fats and cleaning in precision engineering.
  • the applicator described in the patent document US 4,998,839 basically consists of a hollow housing member having a first chamber which houses a wetted coiled strip of absorbent material and a second chamber which receives soiled absorbent material, the first and second chambers being separated by a flexible membrane which permits enlargement of the space within the second chamber by displacement of the space within the first chamber.
  • the advantages of this applicator comprise relative simplicity of its construction, while the main drawbacks include the existence of absorbent material in the coiled strip, as well as the possibility of precise application outside the domain of nail polish removing.
  • the liquid applicator that may be also used for cosmetic purposes is presented in the patent document US 5,035,525 (Mitsubishi Pencil Co. Ltd.). It consists of a reservoir and an application-liquid intake conduit (the application liquid may be an ink, a nail polish, etc.) and looks like a felt-tip pen with a precise application tip. The reservoir itself is replaceable, as well as the tip within the shaft. At first glance, the applicator is not suitable for use with solvents because its liquid intake mechanism is designed for the liquids of a higher density, such as ink or polish.
  • liquid applicators There is a whole range of technical solutions for liquid applicators that cannot be discussed here for a number of reasons. They either have a very specific field of application, such as the liquid applicator having a lockout valving position (see US 5,137,388), or the principal focus is another purpose, that is they are exclusively used as writing utensils.
  • the basic difference between such device and the above mentioned invention is the viscosity of the applied liquid, as well as the fact that in the process of nail polish removing a very invasive, volatile chemical solvent is applied, which requires much carefulness.
  • Further objective of the invention is to make such device flexible enough for filling/replacing the reservoir containing invasive liquid, as well as to enable a simple, easy and precise application by a special construction, ensuring a very high degree of safety from spilling or similar accidents when the applicator is not used.
  • Another objective of this invention consists in creating the whole range of products that are compatible with each other and can be supplemented by means of the same components according to the market needs.
  • Figure 1 presents the applicator with all the parts needed, which are visible in the imagined longitudinal cross-section.
  • Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5 present the applicator in the way it is seen by the user;
  • Figure 3 shows the applicator main body with the inserted reservoir containing invasive liquid;
  • Figure 4 shows the above mentioned brush, which is replaceable and is inserted in the applicator body;
  • Figure 5 presents the replaceable reservoir - invasive liquid ampoule;
  • Figure 2 presents the locking mechanism of the applicator main body, which protects the environment from possible remains of invasive liquid on the brush itself.
  • Figures 6 and 7 show the method of forming the applicator from the basic set of minimum parts in order to have the applicator presented in Figures 1 - 5.
  • FIG. 6 presents the procedure of forming the front part of the applicator body (7") with the complete valve system (4').
  • the valve system consists of a seal (1) made of rubber or plastic materials resistant to the effect of invasive liquid, a piston
  • the seal (1) has a hole (1.2) - most often circular but not necessarily - with whom, on its wider side (1.3), it fits into the front part of the piston (2.1) up to the stop (2.2).
  • the part marked as (2.4) which is narrower than the part marked as (2.3) at least for the spring spiral width (3) "comes" the spring.
  • Such a set is inserted into the bearing (4), in the place marked as (4.2). In that way the valve part (4') is formed, with or without an adapter (5).
  • the part that has the purpose of a head (6), and is used to lock the brush in the applicator body is placed on the bearing body (7) to which other above mentioned parts are placed.
  • the head (6) with its extension (6.1) is pressed over the stop (7.2) and it comes onto the part (7.4).
  • the conical part (7.3) enables tightening and widening of the space (7.1) in which the thin tube of the brush, shown in Figure 4, will be placed.
  • the bearing (4) has a cylindrical form, narrower on one side as well as the clearly defined edge - stop (4.3). With its form, i.e. the longitudinal section it corresponds with the part (7.7). Thus the part (4") comes completely onto the inner area (7.7.) in the way that the stop (4.3) stops in the part (7.8).
  • the formation of the valve part is thus completed because the seal (1) and the piston (2) can move along the piston axis in the area (7.6), while the seal itself seals over the area (1.1) at the point marked as (7.5). Pressure on the seal is exerted by the spring (3) over the piston (2).
  • the part (4.1) fits onto the beginning of the part (7.6) close to the top because (7.6) is in its cross-section slightly narrower than the part (7.7), which accepts and fixes (4') onto itself by friction.
  • the handle (9) design with the replaceable reservoir (10) is presented in Figure 7.
  • the activation button (8) is inserted into the handle space (9.3), where it can freely move up to the stop (8.2).
  • the space (9.1) is ready to accept the replaceable reservoir (10) in the formed handle (9').
  • the replaceable reservoir (10) itself has to be made so as to be cheap and reliable, as well as capable of producing the pressure needed for the undisturbed functioning of the cosmetic liquid applicator.
  • the thin wall (10.1) which (according to one design) is penetrated by the adapter (5) with its part (5.3) up to the edge (5.2), onto which the equivalent part (10.2) jumps and is fixed in the same with the edge (5.4).
  • the reservoir content situated in the space (10.3), communicates with the valve part situated in (7") through the channel (4.4).
  • the pressure in the replaceable reservoir is generated by pressing the part (10.5), which during the use pushes the activation button (8) with its part (8.1) and compresses the accordion-like part (10.4) so as to reduce the volume (10.3), which results in the generation of the pressure needed for proper functioning of the applicator.
  • the replaceable reservoir (10) must be made of the materials that are resistant to invasive liquid in the space (10.3), and (10.4) is made either from another kind of material or by reducing the wall thickness.
  • the applicator body By screwing (9") into the front part of the applicator body (7"), i.e. by screwing in the thread (9.2) into the compatible thread (7.9), the applicator body is being formed and is ready to perform its function.
  • the replaceable brush (11) with its tube part (11.1) is inserted into the space (7.1) and the head (6) is turned relatively around the symmetrical axis of rotation (7") for an angle smaller than the full turn, which is enough to lock (11.1) firmly in (7.1).
  • the brush At the end of the tube part (11.1) the brush itself can have cotton pad (11.2) or a similar material for the liquid application. Such an applicator is ready to be used.
  • valve part The functioning of the valve part is very simple.
  • the brush (11) When the brush (11) is placed into the bearing (7.1), with its small tube (11.1) it pushes the piston (2) in the space (7.6) toward the area (7.7) and overcomes the resistance of the spring (3). With its part (1.1) the seal moves away from the sealing point (7.5) and the liquid flows through the small tube (11.1) to the application point.
  • the valve system remains open until the small tube (11.1) is locked in its position.
  • the applicator is applied for some other purposes, especially some other cosmetic purpose, it is possible to replace the reservoir and the brush tip as well as to wash the valve system with water. This provides a very efficient cosmetic device for the in situ cosmetic applications. Naturally, one should take care about the cleanness of the valve system.
  • Figures 1 - 7 do not limit the scope of safety of the cosmetic applicator but represent one of the possible designs within the scope and contents of the safety given in the patent claims.
