Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf einen Applikator für dekorative, heilende oder pflegende, flüssige, zähe oder cremige Substanzen oder dergleichen, insbesondere für die Lippenanwendung, aus relativ weichem Kunststoff zur Befestigung an einem Stiel oder einem Stiel-Verbindungsansatz.The invention is directed to an applicator for decorative, healing or nourishing, liquid, viscous or creamy substances or the like, especially for the lip application, made of relatively soft plastic for Attachment to a stem or stem connection approach.

Herkömmlicherweise wurden Lippenkosmetika überwiegend mittels eines sogenannten Lippenstifts aufgetragen, wobei das Kosmetikum eine relativ feste, formstabile Konsistenz aufweist und das durch das Kosmetikum gebildete Formteil aus einer schützenden Hülse zur Benutzung herausgedreht und zur Aufbewahrung wieder in diese hineingedreht werden konnte.Traditionally, lip cosmetics were predominantly by means of a applied so-called lipstick, wherein the cosmetic is a relative has solid, dimensionally stable consistency and that formed by the cosmetic Molded out of a protective sleeve for use and could be screwed back into it for storage.

Um auch Lippenkosmetika mit weicherer bis hin zu flüssiger Konsistenz auftragen zu können, ist es bekannt, diese in einem flaschenartigen Behälter ähnlich wie bei Nagellack unterzubringen, und einen weichen Kunststoffapplikator mit Stiel an der Innenseite einer den Behälter verschließenden Schraubkappe anzuordnen.To lip cosmetics with softer to liquid consistency to be able to apply, it is known, this in a bottle-like container similar to nail polish, and a soft Plastic applicator with stem on the inside of a container closing To arrange screw cap.

Schließlich ist es auch schon bekannt, Lippenkosmetika aus einem Vorratsbehälter heraus mit einer vergleichsweise großflächigen Öffnung mit dem Finger aufzunehmen und auf die Lippen aufzutragen. Hierdurch wird zwar ein unmittelbares Gefühl für den Auftragsvorgang erlangt, jedoch hat diese Art des Auftragens den Nachteil, dass durch den vergleichsweise großen Finger im Spiegel der Auftragsvorgang an der Lippe selbst nicht hinreichend gut verfolgt werden kann, dass der Finger der Benutzerin beschmutzt wird, und dass sich auch hygienische Probleme ergeben können, wenn sich am Finger Bakterien befinden. Finally, it is already known, lip cosmetics from a reservoir out with a comparatively large opening with to pick up the finger and apply it to the lips. This will Although has a direct feel for the order process, but has this way of applying the disadvantage that by the comparatively big finger in the mirror the order process on the lip itself not sufficiently well that the user's finger is soiled and that also hygienic problems can arise if there are bacteria on the finger.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Applikator für eine dekorative oder pflegende Creme oder für ein vergleichbares Kosmetikum zu schaffen, der einen gezielten und effizienten Auftrag bei definierter Konturierung ermöglicht.On this basis, the invention is based on the object, an applicator for a decorative or nourishing cream or for a comparable Cosmetic to create a targeted and efficient order allows for defined contouring.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass an der Oberfläche des Applikators eine Mehrzahl von Rillen beziehungsweise Rippen vorgesehen ist. Diese ermöglichen die definierte Aufnahme einer hinreichenden Menge von Kosmetikum aus dem Vorratsbehälter, den Transfer sowie dann die definierte und kontrollierte Abgabe auf die Lippen.This object is achieved in that on the surface of the applicator a plurality of grooves or ribs is provided. These allow the defined recording of a sufficient Amount of cosmetic from the reservoir, the transfer and then the defined and controlled delivery to the lips.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass der Applikator eine annähernd mandelförmige Grundform aufweist.In a preferred embodiment it is provided that the applicator has an approximately almond-shaped basic shape.

Dabei können die Rippen beziehungsweise Rillen im wesentlichen parallel zueinander, insbesondere linear verlaufen.The ribs or grooves can be substantially parallel each other, in particular linear.

Der Applikator kann mit dem Stiel beziehungsweise einem Stielansatz über eine schräg zur Längsachse verlaufende Fläche verbunden sein, so dass Applikatorflächen mit unterschiedlicher Erstreckung geschaffen werden.The applicator can with the stem or a stalk approach over be connected obliquely to the longitudinal axis surface, so that Applicator surfaces are created with different extent.

Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass der Applikator eine konkave Auftragsfläche aufweist.In a further embodiment it is provided that the applicator has a concave application surface.

In diesem Fall können die Rippen beziehungsweise Rillen im wesentlichen geschlossene, insbesondere annähernd ovale, kongruent zueinander verlaufende Linien bilden. In this case, the ribs or grooves can substantially closed, in particular approximately oval, congruent to each other Form lines.

Die Auftragsfläche verläuft bei dieser Ausführungsform vorzugsweise schräg zur Längsachse des Applikators, so dass sie sich bei einer ungezwungenen Haltung des Stiels des Applikators optimal an die Lippenkontur anpasst.The application surface preferably runs in this embodiment obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the applicator, so that they are at a casual Position of the stem of the applicator optimally to the lip contour adapts.

Statt eines Stiels kann der Applikator auch nur einen Stielansatz aufweisen, der dann mittels einer Rastverbindung mit einem Applikatorstiel verbindbar ist.Instead of a stem, the applicator can also have only one stem, then connectable by means of a latching connection with an applicator handle is.

Die Breite der Rippen beziehungsweise Nuten liegt bei 0, 1 bis 5 vorzugsweise bei ca. 1,5 mm. Die Tiefe kann zum Beispiel 0,1 bis 1,0 mm betragen.The width of the ribs or grooves is preferably 0, 1 to 5 at approx. 1.5 mm. The depth may be, for example, 0.1 to 1.0 mm.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand zweier bevorzugter Ausführungsbeispiele in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Dabei zeigen:
