Definitions

  • the invention relates to an applicator for immersion in a cosmetic preparation and for applying the same to the skin, semi-mucous membrane, mucous membrane, hair or hair; hereinafter also referred to as a dip or stick applicator.
  • liquid, pasty, gelatinous or powdered substances are suitable as cosmetic preparation.
  • the matched applicator should be able to achieve a uniform application and distribution of the preparation as simultaneously as possible over a larger area and to different parts of the skin or hair.
  • Dip or stick applicators are known in the cosmetics industry, for example in the form of mascara brushes, brushes, brushes, foam sponges or sponge rubber applicators, for example for applying eyelash or hair maskara, liquid lipstick of high viscosity or the like.

  • structural elements 13 bristles 1310 are provided in the example of FIG., Which have an extension substantially perpendicular to the Applikatorteilober Structure of 0.8 mm and a diameter of 0.2 mm.
  • the bristles differ from the previously described knobs and serrations by their substantially cylindrical shape. They thereby generate another tactile sensation on the skin and another entrainment and capillary effect perpendicular to the applicator part surface.
  • crowns 1410 are formed as structural elements on the surface of the applicator part. These are hexagonal and have circumferentially each arranged at the corners of prongs.
  • the cross sections of the crowns are different. In the region of the applicator part with a larger cross section, the cross section of the crowns is also increased, while the cross section of the crowns in the region of the tapered applicator part tip is also smaller.
  • the crests of the crowns have a height of about 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm above the base of the applicator, while the surface of the crowns is formed in the center of each cup-shaped.
  • the peculiarity of the crown structure lies in the fact that, even with a tapered tip of the applicator part, an arrangement of prongs which is repeated in the same way and with almost uniform intervals between the crowns over the entire applicator part is established. Overall, such a good coverage of the applicator is guaranteed with structural elements, which ensures a uniform application of cosmetic preparations without banding.
  • applicator parts have in common that, in comparison to, for example, flocked applicators, they have only a small increase in surface area, ie a smaller structural area in relation to the applicator part base surface, whereby the risk of microbial loads is reduced even after the first application.
  • inventive design of one or more channels on the outer surface of the applicator ensure an adequate supply in particular the applicator tip with cosmetic preparation which is most preferably used for application, when the channel or the channels extend substantially over the entire length of the applicator part and the channel is adapted to the properties of the preparation by suitable choice of the applicator part plastic and the dimensions.
  • the driving ability (the holding volume and the holding force) can be set much more targeted by the choice of suitable structural elements and thus to each application, d. H. individually to the specific area of the skin intended for application and to the properties of the cosmetic preparation (viscosity, surface adhesion, coverage). This is facilitated by the injection molding method according to the invention, which is characterized by the use of an injection mold with a laser-sintered negative of the surface profile of the applicator.
  • the entrainment capability can also be adjusted to the particular application by suitably selecting the frictional resistance, for example by making a suitable choice of the applicator part plastic and its hardness.
  • crown-shaped structures each comprising circumferentially arranged teeth.
  • the crowns could be hexagonal with a trained at each corner spike different or equal height.
  • the prongs of the crowns may for example have a height of about 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm above the base of the applicator, while the surface of the crowns is formed in the center of each cup-shaped.
  • each surface structure may have one or more preferential directions which are not necessarily perpendicular to the applicator part. have to stand.
  • the preferred direction of the structural elements can be adjusted depending on the ergonomic handling of the applicator depending on the intended application.
  • the exemplified structures and channels can also be used in combination on the same applicator part.
  • different structures for different applications may be provided on opposite surfaces of the same applicator part. It is also possible to mix the structural elements on an application surface or over the entire applicator part.
