  • the invention relates to a device for application a powdery, pasty, gel-like or liquid cosmetic product on skin or hair, with at least one application element, which serves to absorb the cosmetic product and it comes into contact with the skin or hair on the skin or to give up the hair.
  • Applicators of the type mentioned for example for applying cosmetics to the lid known.
  • the known applicators are mostly as Pins executed, i.e. they consist of an elongated Handle part, at the tip of which the application element is attached.
  • the invention is based, the application device of the type mentioned at the outset, that the cosmetic product in the form of a simple Line can be applied with the desired course.
  • the object is achieved in that that the applicator element is elongated and along an at least sectionally convex circumferential line of the device extends.
  • the Application device in contrast to the more punctiform Tips of conventional applicators, is elongated and has a convex shape at least in sections, the Application device not when applying the cosmetic product drawn along the desired straight line over the skin be, but the cosmetic product by "unrolling" the Application element to be applied to the skin or hair.
  • the application device according to the invention works like a "stamp” whose stamp surface has curvatures has, which is why the "stamping" by rolling he follows. To create a straight line, you just have to make sure that the applicator during the Do not apply a perpendicular to the skin or the Hair standing axis is pivoted. As long as one Panning does not take place, the generated line is always be absolutely straight.
  • each part of the order element only with a corresponding one Area of the skin or hair for dispensing the cosmetic product in touch, which is why the above "Exhaustion” of the order element cannot occur. Much more the stroke is even.
  • the application device the stroke width directly from the applied pressure depending on why they are applied by appropriate control of the Pressure can also be controlled.
  • the line width increases with the conventional application device with the line length gradually from. Now you have drawn a first part of the line and is then forced to apply the tip of the Reload application device with the cosmetic product, see above the line will inevitably change after the new start Have strength, which gives an overall uneven appearance.
  • the application device according to the invention after a part of the stroke drawn down and again can be rescheduled without any irregularities in the transition area would occur.
  • the width of the application element can vary over its length be constant. But it can also vary over the length of the order element change, for example it can increase monotonously, decrease monotonously, be step-like or the like.
  • the application element is straight in the top view can run, it can also at least in sections in plan view deviate from a straight line. For example it can be arched, in serpentine lines or meandering run.
  • the above statements are also in this sense understand that on a "straight" course with the application element refer to the line applied. Under is straight hence in this context to understand that the line do not deviate from the course desired by the user should.
  • this includes Application element jewelry motifs, i.e. Negatives from using the applicator to be applied to the skin or hair Symbols or the like.
  • the length of the order element, the width of the order element and / or the shape of the circumferential line of the device in the Top view of the order element adjustable.
  • the application device according to the invention preferably has two or more order elements. These order elements can then, for example, to apply lines of different Colors serve.
  • the order elements differ in length, the Width and / or the shape of the circumferential line in the plan view on the order element. Not only can lines be different Color, but also of different shapes be applied.
  • the application device can have any shape to have. It is preferably round, oval, kidney-shaped in plan view, heart-shaped or T-shaped.
  • the application device is arranged adjacent to the application element Holding area for holding the device with the Has hand. This design is based on the knowledge that that the handling of the device is all the less of any tremor is affected the closer the stopping area the order element.
  • the holding area can have at least one recessed grip exhibit.
  • the loading of the application element can be arbitrary respectively.
  • the Application device a reservoir for a liquid cosmetic product on that via at least one channel with the order element connected is.
  • the at least one channel is preferred around a capillary channel.
  • a covering device can be used for covering such a way the application element can be provided that prevents drying out is.
  • the invention provides a reservoir for at least one a cosmetic product with an insertion opening for such Introducing the application device according to the invention, that the application element in the inserted state with in the reservoir located cosmetic product is loaded.
  • This configuration is suitable for all kinds of cosmetic products.
  • the insertion opening is preferably designed such that the applicator in the inserted state in a Prevents drying out of the cosmetic product.
  • the application device at the same time represents a closure device for the reservoir, which closes the reservoir at least when the application device is inserted into the insertion opening.
  • a closure device at the insertion opening provided that when inserting the applicator in the reservoir opens automatically and opens when the Application device from the reservoir automatically closes to prevent the cosmetic product from drying out in the reservoir.
  • the said closure device is preferred to be elastic slats biased in the closing direction.
  • the invention also creates a reservoir for at least a liquid cosmetic product for loading the at least one Application element of the application device according to the invention, the reservoir according to the invention at least one Has capillary memory.
  • capillary storage it can for example a "stamp pad", a sponge or act like that.
  • the reservoir preferably has a cover which is closed Condition of the cosmetic product drying out the capillary memory prevented.
  • the invention provides a holding device for simultaneously holding at least one application device according to the invention and at least one reservoir for the Cosmetic product.
  • the at least one reservoir can be a reservoir with a capillary reservoir.
  • a lid can also be present be.
  • the at least one Application device is held in the lid.
  • 1 to 4 show 4 different configurations the application device 10 according to the invention provided with two application elements 12 and 14. Of course you can also use only one order element or more than have two order elements.
  • the Application device according to the invention rectangular in cross section or be wedge-shaped, in particular Fig. 7 the arrangement a recessed grip 16 can be seen near the wedge tip, wherein there is at least one application element 12 on the wedge tip.
  • FIGS. 8, 9 and 11 show top views of the application element. 8 with constant width and in straight lines. 9 it is bent, which creates a correspondingly curved line.
  • Fig. 11 shows an embodiment in which the line thickness increases with increasing distance.
  • 10 are decorative elements provided in the form of asterisks. These decorative elements can occur alone, but can also in Combination with the lines of FIGS. 8, 9 and 11 provided be. Of course, symbols other than Asterisks can be realized. For example, are conceivable Flowers, geometric shapes and the like.
  • Fig. 12 shows a holding device designed as a folding case according to an embodiment of the invention.
