Definitions
- the invention relates to an applicator comprising a reservoir and a rotational body rotatably mounted about at least one axis of rotation.
- Applicators of this kind are generally known in the field of deodorant rollons in particular.
- a ball is rotatably mounted in the Be bachelorniswandung.
- the deodorant roller is unrolled to apply the deodorant with the ball to the skin, the deodorant is applied from the container interior over the surface of the ball on the skin. Therefore, this ball extends partially into the container interior and partially protrudes outwards.
- deodorant rollers according to the prior art are not suitable for overhead storage, ie with the outwardly projecting side of the ball downwards.
- the invention is based on the object to solve the problems of the prior art described.
- the most important advantage of the present invention is that the two functions "sealing of the container interior” and “storage of the rotation body” are separated from each other. Thus, a smooth storage of the rotating body can be ensured together with a good seal of the container interior.
- the applicator can be adapted to difficult environmental situations, such as overhead storage.
- the rotary body is used exclusively for transporting the flowable product to the point to be applied.
- the sealing function is taken over by a separate valve, which is arranged between the rotary body and the reservoir.
- the valve When the valve is open, flowable product is dispensed from the reservoir to the rotary body and transported away from it by the rotation about its at least one axis of rotation. The thus loaded rotary body releases the flowable product at the point to be applied again.
- an applicator according to the present invention is particularly suitable for flowable products that the user for long periods not be used. Since the valve ensures a secure sealing of the reservoir contents from the environment, the risk of drying out can be reduced to a minimum even over long periods of time. This thus ensured extended durability is therefore much cheaper for the user than the use of applicators according to the prior art. Also, due to the extended shelf life, the volume of the reservoir can be made significantly larger, which gives the manufacturer a cost advantage.
- the choice of material for the rotational body of an applicator according to the invention depends decisively on the field of application. For example, it may be advantageous to manufacture the rotating body made of plastic, in order to obtain the lightest possible overall system. For a particularly good loading of the rotating body, it may also be advantageous to machine the surface of the rotating body mechanically and, for example, to increase it.
- the rotary body may, for example, have open and / or closed cells distributed over its entire mass and have a bulk density which is lower than that of the framework substance.
- the shape of the rotation body can also be adapted to this purpose.
- the invention when using the invention as a deodorant scooter, it may be advantageous, for example, to design the rotary body spherical in order to be able to wet the underarm cavities as simply and easily as possible with the deodorant product.
- the invention when using the invention, for example, for wall paint, it may be advantageous to design the rotary body cylindrical, to wet the largest possible area per revolution of the rotating body. Also, a cylindrical roller with recesses is conceivable to produce, for example, ornaments or borders on the wall in a simple manner. The roll acts as a replacement for the stencils normally used.
- the invention for sunscreen it may be advantageous to perform the rotation body as an ellipsoid or hyperboloid in order to wet the wetted parts of the body, such as thighs, arms or neck easily and easily.
- Actuation of the valve ie opening and closing, can be controlled automatically or consciously by the user.
- the rotary body is mounted such that the valve can be opened and closed by this.
- the rotary body performs this opening operation by a movement in the valve axis.
- the reservoir here is under a higher pressure compared to the environment.
- it is designed as an aerosol container. Aerosol containers are preferably made of various alloys or aluminum or tinplate. It must be ensured that the product in the storage container carries out as little as possible no interaction of a chemical or physical nature with the material of the storage container, even with a long storage time.
- the advantage of using an aerosol container is the automatic dispensing of the product.
- an application by a pump mechanism, gravity or capillary effects is conceivable.
- the mounting of the rotation body can be configured in an attachment on the storage container.
- Such attachments may be formed both separately and integrally with the reservoir.
- a closed space is created between the rotary body, storage container and such an attachment. In such a space, for example, mixing may take place prior to the application of multiphase products, or, for example, the reaction of the product with the ambient air.
- the reservoir replaceable it may be advantageous to make the reservoir replaceable.
- the user can freely combine between different rotating bodies and different storage containers. In expensive by material and manufacturing cost of rotation bodies, these can thus continue to be used over a longer period of time when the empty reservoir is replaced by a full. For example, in the field of deodorants, higher-quality and therefore more expensive rotary bodies can be used economically.
- an applicator according to the invention may have a plurality of chambers in its reservoir. This can be advantageous if, for example, when using hair dyes, various components of the product to be applied are not stable in storage with one another. It may also be advantageous to carry out the volumes of the chambers differently if different quantities from the individual chambers are required over the entire lifetime of the applicator. In such a case, it may be advantageous to provide a single exhaust valve for each chamber. Depending on the application purpose, the user can then open and close all the outlet valves together, for example, again via the rotary body. Furthermore, it is advantageous if the delivery rate of the individual valves is adapted to the volumes of the individual corresponding chambers. This can be achieved by the flow cross-section, the opening angle or the internal pressure in the respective chamber. So it can be ensured that even with different volumes of the individual chambers all have been emptied at the same time as possible.
- An applicator according to the invention can be used for all conceivable flowable products.
- a use for cosmetic products for example, deodorants or liquid detergents, detergents or adhesives or paints as well as hair colors conceivable.
- An application for flowable powders, such as baby powders, is conceivable within the scope of the present invention.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Applikator umfassend einen Vorratsbehälter und einen um mindestens eine Drehachse drehbar gelagerten Rotationskörper.The invention relates to an applicator comprising a reservoir and a rotational body rotatably mounted about at least one axis of rotation.
Derartige Applikatoren sind insbesondere aus dem Bereich der Deodorant Rollons allgemein bekannt. Bei derartigen Deorollern ist in der Behältniswandung eine Kugel drehbar gelagert angeordnet. Der Deoroller wird zum Auftragen des Deodorants mit der Kugel an der Haut abgerollt, wobei das Deodorant aus dem Behälterinneren über die Oberfläche der Kugel auf die Haut aufgetragen wird. Diese Kugel erstreckt sich daher teilweise in das Behälterinnere und ragt teilweise nach außen.Applicators of this kind are generally known in the field of deodorant rollons in particular. In such Deorollern a ball is rotatably mounted in the Behältniswandung. The deodorant roller is unrolled to apply the deodorant with the ball to the skin, the deodorant is applied from the container interior over the surface of the ball on the skin. Therefore, this ball extends partially into the container interior and partially protrudes outwards.
Nachteil beim beschriebenen Stand der Technik ist, dass ein Kompromiss zwischen einer möglichst leichten Drehbarkeit der Kugel und trotzdem einer guten Abdichtung des Behälterinneren gegen die Umgebung gefunden werden muss. Wird die Dichtkraft. die entlang der Dichtlinie auf die Kugel wirkt, zu groß gewählt, erschwert dies die Anwendung des Deorollers. Bei einer sehr leichtgängigen Kugel und einer damit verbundenen sehr geringen Dichtkraft besteht die Gefahr der schnellen Austrocknung des Deorollers, also einer geringeren Haltbarkeit des Produkts.Disadvantage of the described prior art is that a compromise between the easiest possible rotation of the ball and still a good seal of the container interior against the environment must be found. Will the sealing force. which acts too large along the sealing line on the ball, this complicates the application of the Deoroller. In a very smooth ball and a very low sealing force associated there is a risk of rapid drying of the deodorant roller, so a lower durability of the product.
Darüber hinaus sind Deoroller nach dem Stand der Technik nicht für eine Lagerung über Kopf, das heißt mit der nach außen ragenden Seite der Kugel nach unten, geeignet.In addition, deodorant rollers according to the prior art are not suitable for overhead storage, ie with the outwardly projecting side of the ball downwards.
Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, die beschriebenen Probleme des Standes der Technik zu lösen.The invention is based on the object to solve the problems of the prior art described.
Gelöst wird die Aufgabe mit den Merkmalen des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1.The problem is solved with the features of the characterizing part of
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen genannt.Advantageous embodiments and further developments are mentioned in the subclaims.
Der wesentlichste Vorteil der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, dass die beiden Funktionen "Abdichtung des Behälterinneren" und "Lagerung des Rotationskörpers" voneinander getrennt sind. Somit kann eine leichtgängige Lagerung des Rotationskörpers gemeinsam mit einer guten Abdichtung des Behälterinneren gewährleistetet werden. Darüber hinaus kann durch die Auswahl des geeigneten Ventils der Applikator an schwierige Umgebungssituationen, wie beispielsweise eine Lagerung über Kopf, angepasst werden.The most important advantage of the present invention is that the two functions "sealing of the container interior" and "storage of the rotation body" are separated from each other. Thus, a smooth storage of the rotating body can be ensured together with a good seal of the container interior. In addition, by selecting the appropriate valve, the applicator can be adapted to difficult environmental situations, such as overhead storage.
Bei vorliegender Erfindung dient der Rotationskörper ausschließlich zum Transport des fließfähigen Produkts an die zu applizierende Stelle. Die Abdichtfunktion wird von einem eigenen Ventil übernommen, welches zwischen dem Rotationskörper und dem Vorratsbehälter angeordnet ist. Bei geöffnetem Ventil wird fließfähiges Produkt aus dem Vorratsbehälter an den Rotationskörper abgegeben und von diesem durch die Rotation um seine mindestens eine Drehachse abtransportiert. Der so beladene Rotationskörper gibt das fließfähige Produkt an der zu applizierenden Stelle wieder ab.In the present invention, the rotary body is used exclusively for transporting the flowable product to the point to be applied. The sealing function is taken over by a separate valve, which is arranged between the rotary body and the reservoir. When the valve is open, flowable product is dispensed from the reservoir to the rotary body and transported away from it by the rotation about its at least one axis of rotation. The thus loaded rotary body releases the flowable product at the point to be applied again.
Da die Abdichtung des Vorratsbehälters bei der vorliegenden Erfindung unabhängig vom Rotationskörper stattfindet, kann dieser ohne weiteres abgenommen werden und beispielsweise durch einen normalen Sprühkopf für eine weitere Applikationsmöglichkeit ersetzt werden. Die Entscheidung, welche Applikationsvariante zur Anwendung kommt, liegt letztendlich beim Benutzer eines erfindungsgemäßen Applikators.Since the sealing of the reservoir in the present invention takes place independently of the rotational body, this can be easily removed and replaced for example by a normal spray head for a further application possibility. The decision as to which application variant is used ultimately lies with the user of an applicator according to the invention.
Darüber hinaus eignet sich ein Applikator gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung insbesondere auch für fließfähige Produkte, welche beim Benutzer über lange Zeiträume hinweg nicht benutzt werden. Da das Ventil eine sichere Abdichtung des Vorratsbehälterinhalts gegenüber der Umgebung sicherstellt, kann die Gefahr des Austrocknens auch über lange Zeiträume hinweg auf ein Minimum reduziert werden. Diese somit gewährleistete verlängerte Haltbarkeit ist für den Benutzer daher wesentlich kostengünstiger als die Verwendung von Applikatoren gemäß dem Stand der Technik. Auch kann aufgrund der verlängerten Haltbarkeit das Volumen des Vorratsbehälters deutlich größer gewählt werden, was dem Hersteller einen Kostenvorteil verschafft.In addition, an applicator according to the present invention is particularly suitable for flowable products that the user for long periods not be used. Since the valve ensures a secure sealing of the reservoir contents from the environment, the risk of drying out can be reduced to a minimum even over long periods of time. This thus ensured extended durability is therefore much cheaper for the user than the use of applicators according to the prior art. Also, due to the extended shelf life, the volume of the reservoir can be made significantly larger, which gives the manufacturer a cost advantage.
Die Materialwahl für den Rotationskörper eines erfindungsgemäßen Applikators hängt entscheidend vom Einsatzgebiet ab. Beispielsweise kann es von Vorteil sein, den Rotationskörper aus Kunststoff zu fertigen, um ein möglichst leichtes Gesamtsystem zu erhalten. Für eine besonders gute Beladung des Rotationskörpers kann es ebenso von Vorteil sein, die Oberfläche des Rotationskörpers mechanisch zu bearbeiten und beispielsweise zu vergrößern.The choice of material for the rotational body of an applicator according to the invention depends decisively on the field of application. For example, it may be advantageous to manufacture the rotating body made of plastic, in order to obtain the lightest possible overall system. For a particularly good loading of the rotating body, it may also be advantageous to machine the surface of the rotating body mechanically and, for example, to increase it.
Für Anwendungen im medizinischen oder Sanitär-Bereich kann es vorteilhaft sein, aus hygienischen Gründen den Rotationskörper aus Glas auszuführen.For applications in the medical or sanitary sector, it may be advantageous to carry out the rotation body made of glass for reasons of hygiene.
Um beispielsweise bei Farben oder Haarfarben den Transport von großen Volumina pro Umdrehung gewährleisten zu können, kann es vorteilhaft sein, den Rotationskörper aus einem porösen Material herzustellen. Dieses poröse Material kann beispielsweise über seine ganze Masse verteilte offene und/oder geschlossene Zellen aufweisen und eine Rohdichte besitzen, die niedriger ist als die der Gerüstsubstanz.In order to ensure, for example, in the case of paints or hair colors the transport of large volumes per revolution, it may be advantageous to produce the rotary body from a porous material. This porous material may, for example, have open and / or closed cells distributed over its entire mass and have a bulk density which is lower than that of the framework substance.
Je nach Einsatzgebiet eines erfindungsgemäßen Applikators kann auch die Form des Rotationskörpers an diesen Zweck angepasst sein.Depending on the field of application of an applicator according to the invention, the shape of the rotation body can also be adapted to this purpose.
Bei der Verwendung der Erfindung als Deo-Roller kann es beispielsweise vorteilhaft sein, den Rotationskörper kugelförmig auszugestalten, um die Achselhöhlen möglichst einfach und leicht mit dem Deodorant-Produkt benetzen zu können.When using the invention as a deodorant scooter, it may be advantageous, for example, to design the rotary body spherical in order to be able to wet the underarm cavities as simply and easily as possible with the deodorant product.
Bei der Verwendung der Erfindung, beispielsweise für Wandfarbe, kann es vorteilhaft sein, den Rotationskörper zylindrisch auszugestalten, um eine möglichst große Fläche pro Umdrehung des Rotationskörpers zu benetzen. Auch eine zylindrische Rolle mit Aussparungen ist denkbar, um beispielsweise Ornamente oder Bordüren an der Wand auf einfache Art und Weise erzeugen zu können. Die Rolle wirkt hierbei als Ersatz für die normalerweise zum Einsatz kommenden Schablonen. Bei der Verwendung der Erfindung für Sonnenschutzmittel kann es vorteilhaft sein, den Rotationskörper als Ellipsoid oder Hyperboloid auszuführen, um die zu benetzenden Körperstellen, wie Oberschenkel, Arme oder Nacken einfach und leicht benetzen zu können.When using the invention, for example, for wall paint, it may be advantageous to design the rotary body cylindrical, to wet the largest possible area per revolution of the rotating body. Also, a cylindrical roller with recesses is conceivable to produce, for example, ornaments or borders on the wall in a simple manner. The roll acts as a replacement for the stencils normally used. When using the invention for sunscreen, it may be advantageous to perform the rotation body as an ellipsoid or hyperboloid in order to wet the wetted parts of the body, such as thighs, arms or neck easily and easily.
Um den Anwender eines erfindungsgemäßen Applikators die Handhabung noch weiter zu erleichtern, kann es vorteilhaft sein, die Drehachse des Rotationskörpers gegenüber der Mittelachse des Ventils und/oder gegenüber der Hauptachse des Vorratsbehälters, welcher in den meisten Fällen als Griff dient, zu neigen. Hierbei sind sämtliche Winkelvariationen zwischen 0° (parallel zur Achse) und 90° (senkrecht zur Achse) denkbar. Auch eine für den Benutzer variable Einstellbarkeit des Neigungswinkels liegt im Bereich der Erfindung. Der Benutzer kann bei derartig geneigter Drehachse den Applikator leichter und mit weniger Umständen handhaben. Bei der Verwendung des Applikators für Haarfarben ist für den Anwender somit auch die Coloration von schwer zugänglichen Bereichen, beispielsweise dem Haar am Hinterkopf, möglich.In order to further facilitate the handling of the user of an applicator according to the invention, it may be advantageous to incline the axis of rotation of the rotary body with respect to the central axis of the valve and / or with respect to the main axis of the reservoir, which serves as a handle in most cases. Here are all angle variations between 0 ° (parallel to the axis) and 90 ° (perpendicular to the axis) conceivable. Also, a user-variable adjustability of the inclination angle is within the scope of the invention. With such an inclined axis of rotation, the user can handle the applicator more easily and with fewer circumstances. When using the applicator for hair dyes for the user thus the coloring of hard to reach areas, such as the hair on the back of the head, possible.
Das Betätigen des Ventils, d. h. das Öffnen und Schließen, kann automatisch oder aber bewusst vom Anwender gesteuert werden. Beispielsweise kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenn der Rotationskörper derart gelagert ist, dass durch diesen das Ventil geöffnet und geschlossen werden kann. Bei einem Ventil, welches durch eine Axialbewegung öffnet, kann es daher vorteilhaft sein, wenn der Rotationskörper diesen Öffnungsvorgang durch eine Bewegung in Ventilachse durchführt. Um die bereits erwähnte Austrocknung möglichst vollständig zu vermeiden, kann es weiter von Vorteil sein, zusätzliche Elemente vorzusehen, welche den Rotationskörper wieder in eine Lage zurückbewegen, in welcher sich das Ventil in Verschlussstellung befindet.Actuation of the valve, ie opening and closing, can be controlled automatically or consciously by the user. For example, it may be advantageous if the rotary body is mounted such that the valve can be opened and closed by this. In a valve which opens by an axial movement, it may therefore be advantageous if the rotary body performs this opening operation by a movement in the valve axis. In order to avoid the aforementioned dehydration as completely as possible, it may also be advantageous to provide additional elements which the rotational body move back to a position in which the valve is in the closed position.
Jedoch sind im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung auch Lösungen denkbar, welche dem Anwender ein bewusstes Öffnen und Schließen des Ventils, beispielsweise durch Hebel oder Druckknopfmechanismen, ermöglichen. So kann der Anwender eine genaue Dosierung vornehmen. Bei einer Verwendung des Applikators für Malerfarben kann dies zur Erzielung unterschiedlicher Farbintensitäten von Vorteil sein.However, in the context of the present invention, solutions are conceivable which allow the user to deliberately open and close the valve, for example by means of levers or push-button mechanisms. So the user can make a precise dosage. When using the applicator for paints, this can be to achieve different color intensities of advantage.
Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung sind verschiedene Ausbringmechanismen für das im Vorratsbehälter befindliche, fließfähige Produkt denkbar. Vorzugsweise steht hierbei der Vorratsbehälter unter einem im Vergleich zur Umgebung höheren Druck. Beispielsweise ist er als Aerosolbehälter ausgeführt. Aerosolbehälter werden vorzugsweise aus verschiedenen Legierungen oder Aluminium oder Weißblech hergestellt. Es ist sicherzustellen, dass das im Vorratsbehälter befindliche Produkt auch bei langer Lagerzeit möglichst geringe bis gar keine Interaktion chemischer oder physikalischer Natur mit dem Material des Vorratsbehälters durchführt. Der Vorteil bei der Verwendung eines Aerosolbehälters liegt im automatischen Ausbringen des Produkts. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung ist aber auch eine Ausbringung durch eine Pumpmechanismus, Schwerkraftförderung oder Kapillareffekte denkbar.In the context of the present invention, various application mechanisms for the flowable product in the storage container are conceivable. Preferably, the reservoir here is under a higher pressure compared to the environment. For example, it is designed as an aerosol container. Aerosol containers are preferably made of various alloys or aluminum or tinplate. It must be ensured that the product in the storage container carries out as little as possible no interaction of a chemical or physical nature with the material of the storage container, even with a long storage time. The advantage of using an aerosol container is the automatic dispensing of the product. In the context of the present invention, however, an application by a pump mechanism, gravity or capillary effects is conceivable.
Bei erfindungsgemäßen Applikatoren kann die Lagerung des Rotationskörpers in einem Aufsatz auf dem Vorratsbehälter ausgestaltet sein. Derartige Aufsätze können sowohl separat als auch einstückig mit dem Vorratsbehälter ausgebildet sein. Des Weiteren kann es von Vorteil sein, wenn zwischen Rotationskörper, Vorratsbehälter und einem derartigen Aufsatz ein abgeschlossener Zwischenraum entsteht. In einem derartigen Zwischenraum kann beispielsweise ein Mischen vor der Appliaktion von mehrphasigen Produkten stattfinden oder beispielsweise die Reaktion des Produkts mit der Umgebungsluft. Der Zwischenraum kann also als eine Art Misch- oder Reaktionskammer dienen, um das Produkt applikationsfertig zu machen.In applicators according to the invention, the mounting of the rotation body can be configured in an attachment on the storage container. Such attachments may be formed both separately and integrally with the reservoir. Furthermore, it may be advantageous if a closed space is created between the rotary body, storage container and such an attachment. In such a space, for example, mixing may take place prior to the application of multiphase products, or, for example, the reaction of the product with the ambient air. The gap So it can serve as a kind of mixing or reaction chamber to make the product ready to use.
Je nach Verwendungszweck eines erfindungsgemäßen Applikators kann es vorteilhaft sein, den Vorratsbehälter auswechselbar zu gestalten. So kann der Anwender frei zwischen verschiedenen Rotationskörpern und verschiedenen Vorratsbehältern kombinieren. Bei durch Material- und Herstellungsaufwand teuren Rotationskörpern können diese somit über einen längeren Zeitraum weiter verwendet werden, wenn der leere Vorratsbehälter durch einen vollen ersetzt wird. So können beispielsweise im Bereich der Deodorants hochwertigere und damit teurere Rotationskörper wirtschaftlich zum Einsatz kommen.Depending on the intended use of an applicator according to the invention, it may be advantageous to make the reservoir replaceable. Thus, the user can freely combine between different rotating bodies and different storage containers. In expensive by material and manufacturing cost of rotation bodies, these can thus continue to be used over a longer period of time when the empty reservoir is replaced by a full. For example, in the field of deodorants, higher-quality and therefore more expensive rotary bodies can be used economically.
Darüber hinaus kann ein erfindungsgemäßer Applikator in seinem Vorratsbehälter mehrere Kammern aufweisen. Dies kann von Vorteil sein, wenn beispielsweise bei der Verwendung für Haarfarben verschiedene Komponenten des aufzubringenden Produkts miteinander nicht lagerstabil sind. Auch kann es vorteilhaft sein, die Volumina der Kammern unterschiedlich auszuführen, wenn über die gesamte Lebensdauer des Applikators unterschiedliche Mengen aus den einzelnen Kammern benötigt werden. In einem solchen Fall kann es vorteilhaft sein, für jede Kammer ein einzelnes Auslassventil vorzusehen. Je nach Anwendungszweck kann dann der Benutzer alle Auslassventile gemeinsam, beispielsweise wieder über den Rotationskörper, öffnen und schließen. Des Weiteren ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Abgaberate der einzelnen Ventile an die Volumina der einzelnen korrespondierenden Kammern angepasst ist. Dies kann erreicht werden durch den Durchflussquerschnitt, den Öffnungswinkel oder auch den Innendruck in der jeweiligen Kammer. So kann sichergestellt sein, dass auch bei unterschiedlichen Volumina der einzelnen Kammern alle zum möglichst selben Zeitpunkt entleert worden sind.In addition, an applicator according to the invention may have a plurality of chambers in its reservoir. This can be advantageous if, for example, when using hair dyes, various components of the product to be applied are not stable in storage with one another. It may also be advantageous to carry out the volumes of the chambers differently if different quantities from the individual chambers are required over the entire lifetime of the applicator. In such a case, it may be advantageous to provide a single exhaust valve for each chamber. Depending on the application purpose, the user can then open and close all the outlet valves together, for example, again via the rotary body. Furthermore, it is advantageous if the delivery rate of the individual valves is adapted to the volumes of the individual corresponding chambers. This can be achieved by the flow cross-section, the opening angle or the internal pressure in the respective chamber. So it can be ensured that even with different volumes of the individual chambers all have been emptied at the same time as possible.
Ein erfindungsgemäßer Applikator kann für sämtliche denkbaren fließfähigen Produkte verwendet werden. Insbesondere ist eine Verwendung für Kosmetikprodukte, beispielsweise Deodorants oder Flüssigwaschmittel, Reinigungsmittel oder Klebstoffe oder Malerfarben sowie auch Haarfarben denkbar. Auch eine Anwendung für fließfähige Pulver, beispielsweise Baby-Puder, ist im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung denkbar. Darüber hinaus umfasst die vorliegende Erfindung auch ein verkaufsfähiges Kit, umfassend einen erfindungsgemäßen Applikator und mindestens einen weiteren Vorratsbehälter. Darüber hinaus können auch unterschiedliche Rotationskörper für unterschiedliche Zwecke in einem derartigen Kit vorhanden sein.An applicator according to the invention can be used for all conceivable flowable products. In particular, a use for cosmetic products, for example, deodorants or liquid detergents, detergents or adhesives or paints as well as hair colors conceivable. An application for flowable powders, such as baby powders, is conceivable within the scope of the present invention. In addition, the present invention also encompasses a salable kit comprising an applicator according to the invention and at least one further storage container. In addition, different rotational bodies for different purposes in such a kit may be present.
