Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Applikationsvorrichtung zum Färben von Strähnchen, die insbesondere nach Art einer Verschlußkappe zum Aufbringen auf die Öffnung eines ein Haarfärbemittel aufnehmenden oder enthaltenden Behälters ausgebildet ist, wobei die Kappe mindestens eine Austrittsöffnung aufweist, mit mindestens einer Produktführung und benachbart dazu mindestens einer abnehmbaren Führungszinke.The invention relates to an application device for coloring highlights, which in particular in the manner of a closure cap for application to the opening a container containing or containing a hair dye is formed, wherein the cap has at least one outlet opening with at least one product guide and at least one adjacent to it removable guide tine.

Eine Applikationsvorrichtung dieser Art ist aus der Druckschrift EP 0 910 967 A1 bekannt. Zur Abgrenzung und Verteilung des Produktes auf einen begrenzten Haarbereich weist der Applikator eine Umschließung mit einem mittig angeordneten Produktaustritt auf, wobei ein Ende der Umschließung zur Teilung des Haares Bürsten aufweisen kann. Mit einer einzigen Bewegung soll der Applikator eine Separation des Haares, einen Produktauftrag und eine Produktverteilung gewährleisten.An application device of this type is known from EP 0 910 967 A1 known. For delimitation and distribution of the product on a limited The hair area has an applicator with an enclosure in the middle arranged product outlet, with one end of the enclosure for division of the hair can have brushes. With a single movement Applicator a hair separation, a product order and a Ensure product distribution.

Weiterhin ist eine Applikationsvorrichtung der genannten Art bekannt aus der Patentschrift US 2 672 875 A. In die Vorrichtung lässt sich eine Platte mit Bohrungen einschieben, welche im eingeschobenen Zustand mit den Produktführungen in der Kappe fluchten. Auf der Platte und zwischen den Produktführungen- bzw. bohrungen sind sich nach außen erstreckende Borstenbündel angeordnet. An beiden Seiten der langgestreckten, schwalbenschwanzförmig genuteten Einschiebeöffnung für die genannte Platte sind schwalbenschwanzförmige Nuten angeordnet, in die die Basis jeweils eines Kammes eingeschoben werden kann. Die Kammzinken, die den oben genannten Führungszinken entsprechen, haben die Form von Stiften, wie sie bei bekannten Kämmen üblich ist.Furthermore, an application device of the type mentioned is known from the US Pat. No. 2,672,875 A. A plate can be placed in the device Insert the bores which, when inserted, match the Align product guides in the cap. On the plate and between the Product guides or bores are outwardly extending Bristle bundle arranged. On both sides of the elongated, dovetail-shaped slot for the plate mentioned are arranged dovetail-shaped grooves, in which the base one each Comb can be inserted. The comb teeth, the above Guide tines correspond to the shape of pins as they are known Combing is common.

Bei einer Applikationsvorrichtung gemäß GB 0 910 967 A1 sowie US 2 672 875 A wird durch die Anordnung der Borsten um die Austrittsöffnung herum ein dosierter und gleichmäßiger Auftrag des Haarfärbemittels auf die Haare erreicht, denn die Borsten verhindern zum einen den Austritt einer zu großen Menge des Mittels und verteilen das Mittel zum anderen gleichmäßig durch die Bürstbewegung. With an application device according to GB 0 910 967 A1 and US 2 672 875 A is created by the arrangement of the bristles around the outlet opening dosed and even application of the hair dye achieved on the hair, because on the one hand the bristles prevent an excessive amount of the escaping By means of and distribute the agent to the other evenly through the Brushing motion.

Darüber hinaus offenbart die Druckschrift GB 87 95 77 eine kammartig ausgeführte Bürste, deren Borsten mittels einem an einem Bürstenstil angeordneten Behälter mit Produkt versorgt werden.In addition, GB 87 95 77 discloses a comb-like executed brush, whose bristles by means of a brush style arranged containers are supplied with product.

Bei diesen bekannten Applikationsvorrichtungen zum Färben von Strähnchen werden die Borsten in ihrer gesamten Länge mit dem Haarfärbemittel bedeckt, obwohl zum Einfärben von Haarsträhnen nur die Borstenenden zum Einsatz kommen sollten. Dies führt dazu, daß bei einer Kämmbewegung auch seitlich von der zu färbenden Haarsträhne liegende Haarpartien von dem Färbemittel bedeckt werden, was aber bei Strähncheneinfärbungen unerwünscht ist. Die Verwendung von Kammzinken entsprechend der US 2 672 875 ändert nichts daran, denn das Haarfärbemittel fließt um die stiftförmigen Kammzinken zu beiden Seiten nach außen, so daß sich der gefärbte streifenförmige Bereich verbreitert. Ferner wird bei bestimmten Haarfärbemitteln das bei manuellem Druck auf die flexible Behälterwand aus der Austrittsöffnung herausgedrückte Mittel durch die Borsten derart behindert, daß eine zufriedenstellende Zufuhr des Mittels zu den Borstenenden nicht immer gewährleistet ist.In these known application devices for coloring highlights the entire length of the bristles is covered with the hair dye, although only the bristle ends are used for coloring strands of hair should come. This leads to the fact that with a combing motion also from the side of the sections of hair lying to be dyed are covered by the colorant be, which is undesirable for highlights. The usage of comb teeth according to US 2,672,875 does not change anything because that Hair dye flows around the pin-shaped comb teeth on both sides outside, so that the colored strip-shaped area widens. Furthermore, with certain hair dyes this is done by manual pressure on the flexible Means of the container wall pressed out of the outlet opening by the bristles so hampered that satisfactory delivery of the agent to the bristle ends is not always guaranteed.

Bei bekannten Applikationsvorrichtungen ist der Anwender daher auf nur eine Färbeart festgelegt. Entweder er kann seine Haare breitflächig oder in schmalen Streifen mit dazwischenliegenden ungefärbten Haarsträhnen einfärben.In known application devices, the user is therefore only on one Color type set. Either he can spread his hair over a wide area or in narrow Color in strips with untreated strands of hair in between.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einer Applikationsvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art deren Gebrauchseigenschaft für das Färben von Haarsträhnen zu verbessern. Insbesondere soll es dem Anwender ermöglicht werden, mit der gleichen Applikationsvorrichtung sowohl ein breitflächiges Einfärben als auch ein Färben mehrerer schmaler Haarsträhnen zu erreichen, welche von ungefärbten Strähnen sauber getrennt sind.The invention is therefore based on the object Application device of the type mentioned its utility property for dyeing strands of hair. In particular, it should Users are enabled with both the same application device a broad coloring and dyeing several narrow strands of hair to achieve which are clearly separated from undyed strands.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgaben mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention, these tasks with the features of the claim 1 solved.

Bei abgenommenem Führungszinken verteilt sich das Haarfärbemittel breitflächig auf der Haarsträhne, so daß ein breiter gefärbter Streifen erreicht wird. Wird jedoch die Führungszinke aufgesetzt, so erhält der Anwender eine schmale, gefärbte Haarsträhne, wobei die Form und Breite der Führungszinke verhindert, daß das Haarfärbemittel seitlich von der einzufärbenden Strähne nach außen läuft und so die gefärbte Strähne in unerwünschter Weise und in der Regel auch ungleichmäßig, da in Abhängigkeit vom manuellen Druck auf das Haar, verbreitert. Eine vorteilhafter Nebeneffekt der Führungszinke ist deren kämmende und damit das Haar entwirrende Wirkung.When the guide tines are removed, the hair dye is spread over a wide area on the strand of hair so that a broader colored streak is achieved. Becomes However, if the guide tine is attached, the user receives a narrow, colored strands of hair, the shape and width of the guide tine preventing that the hair dye laterally from the strand to be dyed to the outside runs and so the colored streak in an undesirable way and usually uneven, because depending on the manual pressure on the hair, widened. An advantageous side effect of the guide tine is its combing and thus the hair detangling effect.

Um eine an beiden Rändern schmale und sauber vom ungefärbten Haar getrennte Strähne erzeugen zu können, ist es außerdem vorteilhaft, wenn mindestens zwei Führungszinken vorgesehen sind, zwischen denen die mindestens eine Produktführung angeordnet ist.Around one on both edges narrow and clean of the undyed hair To be able to create separate strands, it is also advantageous if at least two guide tines are provided, between which the at least one product guide is arranged.

Sollen gleichzeitig mehrere gefärbte Strähnen und - bei abgenommenen Führungszinken - eine besonders breite gefärbte Strähne ermöglicht werden, so ist es von Vorteil, wenn mehrere nebeneinander angeordnete Produktführungen vorgesehen sind, zwischen denen die abnehmbaren Führungszinken angeordnet sind. Bei aufgesetzten Führungszinken erhält man parallel zueinander angeordnete gefärbte Haarsträhnen, die durch ungefärbte Bereich voneinander sauber getrennt sind. Hier dienen die Führungszinken also zusätzlich dazu, ein Ineinanderlaufen der schmalen gefärbten streifenförmigen Haarbereiche zu verhindern. Die zwischen diesen Streifen angeordneten Haare bleiben durch die kämmende Wirkung der Führungszinken vollständig ungefärbt. Die Hauptursache für diese Wirkung liegt darin, daß die Führungszinken die Austrittsbereiche des Haarfärbemittels aus der Applikationsvorrichtung auf eng begrenzte und klar voneinander getrennte Bereiche einengen. Diese Einengung und Begrenzung der Austrittsbereiche des Haarfärbemittels wird auch bereits bei der oben genannten Applikationsvorrichtung mit nur einer Produktführung und nur einem Führungszinken erreicht.Should several colored strands and - when removed Guide tines - a particularly wide colored streak can be made so it is advantageous if several product guides arranged side by side are provided, between which the removable guide tines are arranged are. When the guide tines are in place, parallel tines are obtained dyed strands of hair that are clean from each other by undyed area are separated. Here, the guide tines also serve to run into one another to prevent the narrow colored striped hair areas. The hair arranged between these strips remains through the combing Effect of the guide tines completely undyed. The main cause of this Effect is that the guide tines the exit areas of the hair dye from the application device to narrowly limited and clear from each other narrow separate areas. This narrowing and limitation of Exit areas of the hair dye is also already mentioned in the above Application device with only one product guide and only one guide tine reached.

Damit auch die äußeren der parallel zueinander angeordneten gefärbten Haarsträhnen an ihren Außenrändern sauber gegen das übrige Haar abgegrenzt sind und die äußeren Haarsträhnen die gleiche Breite wie die inneren Haarsträhnen haben, ist es außerdem von Vorteil, wenn jede Produktführung zwischen zwei gegenüberliegenden Führungszinken angeordnet ist.So that the outer of the colored strands of hair arranged parallel to each other are neatly demarcated from the rest of the hair at their outer edges and the outer strands of hair are the same width as the inner strands of hair it is also an advantage if each product run is between two opposite guide tines is arranged.

Weiterhin wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Produktführungen elastisch sind. Bei der Anwendung der Applikationsvorrichtung werden die Produktführungen leicht entgegen der Bewegungsrichtung gebogen, so daß der Auftrag des Färbemittels erleichtert wird.It is also proposed that the product guides are elastic. In the Using the application device, the product guides are easily countered the direction of movement bent so that the application of the colorant is facilitated.

Die Produktführungen können als Röhrchen, z. B. als flexibler Schlauch und insbesondere als Silikonschlauch, ausgebildet sein. Dabei ist es bevorzugt, wenn die Röhrchen an der Austrittsöffnung borstenartig ausgebildet sind, wie nachfolgend an einem Ausführungsbeispiel näher erläutert wird. Die Borsten üben zum einen eine zusätzliche kämmende Wirkung aus und verteilen zum anderen das Haarfärbemittel besonders gleichmäßig auf die Haarsträhnen.The product guides can be used as tubes, e.g. B. as a flexible hose and in particular be designed as a silicone tube. It is preferred if the tubes at the outlet opening are bristle-like, as follows is explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment. Practice the bristles on the one hand an additional combing effect and on the other hand distribute the hair dye is particularly even on the strands of hair.

Weiterhin wird vorgeschlagen, daß um die Austrittsöffnungen der Produktführungen herum Borsten angeordnet sind. Dadurch wird ein dosierter und gleichmäßiger Auftrag des Haarfärbemittels auf die Haare erreicht. Die Borsten verhindern zum einen den Austritt einer zu großen Menge des Mittels und verteilen das Mittel zum anderen gleichmäßig durch die Bürstbewegung.It is also proposed that around the outlet openings of the product guides bristles are arranged around. This makes a dosed and even application of the hair dye to the hair is achieved. The bristles on the one hand prevent an excessive amount of the agent from escaping and distribute the agent to the other evenly through the brushing motion.

Dabei ist es insbesondere bevorzugt, wenn die Austrittsöffnungen der Produktführungen im Abstand zum Borstengrund angeordnet sind. Auf diese Weise wird die Austrittsöffnung gewissermaßen vom Borstengrund in den mittleren Bereich der Borsten verlagert, so daß das Mittel im wesentlichen nur zu den Borstenenden gelangt und die den Austritt des Mittels drosselnde Wirkung der Borsten teilweise aufgehoben ist. Ferner wird dadurch vermieden, daß am Borstengrund, also im Fußbereich der Borsten, nennenswerte Mengen an Haarfärbemittel verbleiben, die nicht an die Haare gelangen und in diesem Bereich austrocknen. Insgesamt wird durch die Applikationsvorrichtung das Färben von Haarsträhnen verbessert.It is particularly preferred if the outlet openings of the product guides are arranged at a distance from the base of the bristles. That way the outlet opening, so to speak, from the bristle base into the middle area the bristles shifted so that the agent essentially only to the bristle ends arrives and the effect of the bristles throttling the exit of the agent is partially canceled. Furthermore, it is avoided that on the bristle base, So in the foot area of the bristles, significant amounts of hair dye remain, that do not get on the hair and dry out in this area. Overall, the application of dyeing strands of hair improved.

Dennoch sollte das Mittel nicht unmittelbar, sondern nur über die Borstenenden auf das Haar gelangen. Daher wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Austrittsöffnungen zwischen dem Borstengrund und den Borstenenden angeordnet sind.Nevertheless, the agent should not be immediately, but only over the bristle ends get on the hair. It is therefore proposed that the outlet openings are arranged between the bristle base and the bristle ends.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Kappe eine Bohrung aufweist, welche mittels eines Röhrchens nach außen zur Austrittsöffnung hin verlängert ist, dessen Länge kleiner als die Borstenlänge ist, wobei sich das Röhrchen vom Borstengrund im wesentlichen parallel zu den Borsten nach außen hin erstreckt.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that the cap has a bore, which by means of a tube to the outside to the outlet opening is extended, the length of which is smaller than the bristle length, wherein the tube from the base of the bristles is essentially parallel to the bristles extends outwards.

Als besonders vorteilhaft im Sinne der Erfindung hat es sich herausgestellt, wenn die Länge des Röhrchens etwa zwei Drittel der Borstenlänge entspricht.It has proven to be particularly advantageous in the sense of the invention if the length of the tube corresponds to approximately two thirds of the bristle length.

Wenn die Borsten kranzartig um die Austrittsöffnung herum angeordnet sind, ist mit Sicherheit gewährleistet, daß das Haarfärbemittel immer zuerst auf die Borsten und nicht unmittelbar auf die Haarsträhnchen gelangt, so daß das Mittel problemlos gleichmäßig aufgetragen wird.If the bristles are arranged in a ring around the outlet opening, ensures with certainty that the hair dye always on the first Bristles and not directly on the hair strands, so that the agent is applied evenly without any problems.

Zum gleichzeitigen Färben mehrerer Haarsträhnchen ist es von Vorteil, wenn mehrere, vorzugsweise jeweils als Öffnung eines Röhrchens ausgebildete, Austrittsöffnungen mit jeweils einem um die jeweilige Austrittsöffnung angeordneten Borstenbündel nebeneinander angeordnet sind. Auf diese Weise erzeugt man mehrere parallel zueinander liegende, besonders gleichmäßig gefärbte Haarsträhnchen.To dye several strands of hair at the same time, it is advantageous if several, preferably each designed as an opening of a tube, Outlet openings each with one arranged around the respective outlet opening Bristle bundles are arranged side by side. Generated in this way several, particularly evenly colored, lying parallel to each other Hair strands.

Weiterhin wird mindestens ein Führungszinken vorgeschlagen, der sich weiter als die Produktführungen und insbesondere weiter als die Borsten nach außen erstreckt. Durch die Länge der Führungszinken ist sichergestellt, daß ein Mindestabstand der Borstenenden von der Kopfhaut eingehalten wird, so daß nur die an der Oberseite des Kopfhaares liegenden Haarsträhnen, nicht aber der Haarbereich an der Wurzel oder gar die Kopfhaut mit dem Haarfärbemittel behandelt werden. Außerdem wird eine besonders saubere Abtrennung des gefärbten vom ungefärbten Bereich erreicht.Furthermore, at least one guide tine is proposed, which continues than the product guides and especially wider than the bristles to the outside extends. The length of the guide tines ensures that a The minimum distance between the bristle ends and the scalp is observed so that only the strands of hair lying on the top of the head hair, but not the one Hair area at the root or even the scalp with the hair dye be treated. In addition, a particularly clean separation of the colored from the undyed area.

Die Haarsträhnchen sind besonders sauber voneinander getrennt, wenn gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung mindestens ein Teil der Führungszinken zwischen benachbarten Borstenbündeln angeordnet ist.The strands of hair are particularly neatly separated from each other, if according a further advantageous embodiment of the invention at least part of the Guide tines between adjacent bristle bundles is arranged.

Sind, wie bereits oben vorgeschlagen, Borstenbündel um die Austrittsöffnungen angeordnet, so ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Breite der Führungszinken mindestens so groß wie der Außendurchmesser der Borstenbündel ist.As already suggested above, they are bundles of bristles around the outlet openings arranged, it is advantageous if the width of the guide tines is at least as large as the outer diameter of the bristle bundle.

Als besonders vorteilhaft hat es sich dabei herausgestellt, wenn die Breite der Führungszinken 2 bis 7 mm und insbesondere 3 bis 5 mm beträgt.It has proven to be particularly advantageous if the width of the Guide tines is 2 to 7 mm and in particular 3 to 5 mm.

Weiter wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Führungszinken lösbar an der Kappe befestigt sind. Zur bequemen Handhabung ist es außerdem von Vorteil, wenn die Führungszinken Teil eines lösbar mit der Kappe verbundenen einstückigen Aufsatzes sind. Die Zinken können dann zusammen als Block in einem Arbeitsschritt von der Kappe abgenommen und bei Bedarf wieder aufgesetzt werden.It is also proposed that the guide tines be detachably attached to the cap are attached. For easy handling, it is also advantageous if the Guide tines Part of a one-piece attachment detachably connected to the cap are. The tines can then be assembled as a block in one step can be removed from the cap and replaced if necessary.

Eine Vereinfachung bei der Wiederverwertung der entsorgten Applikationsvorrichtung wird erreicht, wenn die Kappe und die Borsten aus unterschiedlichen Polyolefinen bestehen und damit zur gleichen Kunststoffklasse gehören. Dabei sollte die Kappe aus einem harten und die Borsten aus einem weichen Material bestehen. Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Kappe aus Polypropylen und die Borsten aus Polyethylen bestehen. A simplification in the recycling of the disposed application device is achieved when the cap and bristles are made of different Polyolefins exist and therefore belong to the same class of plastics. there the cap should be made of a hard material and the bristles made of a soft material consist. It is advantageous if the cap made of polypropylene and the bristles are made of polyethylene.

Die Vorrichtung besteht aus einer Kappe 1 aus relativ hartem Polypropylen. Im Inneren der topfförmigen Kappe ist ein Schraubgewinde 2 innerhalb eines inneren topfförmigen Elementes vorgesehen, mit welchem die Vorrichtung auf ein Außengewinde an der Öffnung eines nicht dargestellten Behälters für ein Haarfärbemittel aufgeschraubt werden kann. Drei Bohrungen 3 sind an einem schräg zur Längsachse der Kappe 1 liegenden Deckwandbereich 4 ausgebildet, um die sich jeweils ein kranzförmiges Borstenbündel 5 nach außen erstreckt. Die Bohrungen 3 stehen bei auf den Behälter aufgeschraubter Kappe 1 in Fließwegverbindung mit dem im Behälter enthaltenen Haarfärbemittel. Eine Außenfläche der Kappe 1 bildet dabei den Borstengrund 14. Die Borstenbündel 5 bestehen aus weichem Polyethylen.The device consists of a cap 1 made of relatively hard polypropylene. in the Inside the cup-shaped cap is a screw thread 2 within a Inner cup-shaped element provided with which the device an external thread at the opening of a container, not shown, for a Hair dye can be screwed on. Three holes 3 are on one formed top wall area 4 lying obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the cap 1, around which a ring-shaped bristle bundle 5 extends outwards. The Bores 3 are in when the cap 1 is screwed onto the container Flow path connection with the hair dye contained in the container. A The outer surface of the cap 1 forms the bristle base 14. The bristle bundles 5 are made of soft polyethylene.

Jede der drei Bohrungen 3 ist jeweils mittels eines parallel zu den Borsten 5 angeordneten und auf die Bohrungen 3 aufgesetzten Röhrchens 6 nach oben hin verlängert, wobei sich die Röhrchen 6 über etwa zwei Drittel der Borstenlänge, gemessen vom Borstengrund 14 (Außenfläche der Kappe 1) bis zu den Borstenenden, erstreckt (Figur 8). Die Röhrchen 6 haben jeweils eine Austrittsöffnung 13.Each of the three bores 3 is parallel to the bristles 5 by means of one arranged and placed on the holes 3 tube 6 upwards lengthened, the tubes 6 extending over approximately two thirds of the bristle length, measured from the bristle base 14 (outer surface of the cap 1) to the bristle ends, extends (Figure 8). The tubes 6 each have an outlet opening 13th

An der Oberseite der Kappe 1 sind ein Steg 7 und Nuten 8 eingeformt, mit denen ein Block 9 mit Führungszinken 10 auf der Kappe 1 durch Einklemmen gehalten wird. Dazu liegt die untere Kante 11 am Steg 7 an, und in den Zeichnungen nicht dargestellte Stege an der Innenseite des Blocks 9 greifen in die Nuten 8 der Kappe 1 ein.On the top of the cap 1, a web 7 and grooves 8 are formed, with which a block 9 with guide tines 10 held on the cap 1 by clamping becomes. For this purpose, the lower edge 11 rests on the web 7, and not in the drawings shown ridges on the inside of block 9 engage in the grooves 8 of the Cap 1 a.

Der Block 9 weist vier Führungszinken 10 auf, die bei auf der Kappe 1 aufgesetztem Block 9 zwischen den Borstenbündel 5 und an den Außenseiten der äußersten Borstenbündel 5 angeordnet sind und sich in die gleiche schräge Richtung wie die Borsten 5 erstrecken. Die Vorderkante 12 (Figur 6) jeder Führungszinke 10 ist verstärkt und steht über die Kappe 1 über.The block 9 has four guide tines 10 which, when placed on the cap 1 Block 9 between the bristle bundle 5 and on the outside of the outermost bristle bundle 5 are arranged and inclined in the same Direction as the bristles 5 extend. The leading edge 12 (Figure 6) each Guide tine 10 is reinforced and projects beyond the cap 1.

Wie deutlich aus den Figuren 2 und 4 hervorgeht, erstrecken sich die Führungszinken 10 erheblich über die Borstenbündel 5 hinaus, so daß beim Gebrauch die mit dem Haarfärbemittel getränkten Borstenbündel 5 von der Kopfhaut des Benutzers ferngehalten werden und nur die Außenseite des Kopfhaares streifenförmig eingefärbt wird.As clearly shown in Figures 2 and 4, the guide tines extend 10 significantly beyond the bristle bundle 5, so that the use with the hair dye soaked bristle bundle 5 from the scalp of the Be kept away from the user and only the outside of the head hair in stripes is colored.

Das in Figur 9 dargestellte zweite Ausführungsbeispiel entspricht dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel, wobei jedoch anstelle der Borsten 5 mit innenliegendem Röhrchen 6 nur ein flexibles, aus Silikon bestehendes Röhrchen 6 vorgesehen ist.The second exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 9 corresponds to the first Embodiment, but instead of the bristles 5 with internal Tube 6 provided only a flexible tube 6 made of silicone is.

In einem dritten Ausführungsbeispiel ist bei der erfindungsgemäßen Applikationsvorrichtung ebenfalls anstelle der Borsten 5 mit innenliegendem Röhrchen 6 ein flexibles, in diesem Fall aus transparentem Silikon bestehendes Röhrchen 6 vorgesehen, wobei der obere Teil eingeschnitten ist, so daß dort borstenartige Zungen 16 ausgebildet sind. Diese Ausführungsform ist besonders vorteilhaft, da hier die Borsten und das Röhrchen einstückig ausgebildet sind und daher besonders kostengünstig hergestellt werden können, wobei aber die Gebrauchsvorteile der zusätzlichen Borsten erhalten bleiben. A third exemplary embodiment is for the application device according to the invention also instead of the bristles 5 with an inner tube 6 flexible tube 6, in this case made of transparent silicone, is provided, the upper part is cut so that there is bristle-like Tongues 16 are formed. This embodiment is particularly advantageous because here the bristles and the tube are integrally formed and therefore can be produced particularly inexpensively, but with the advantages in use of the additional bristles are retained.
