Description

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Wimpernlöffel zum Aufbringen von Wimperntusche auf Augenwimpern gemäss den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an eyelash spoon for applying mascara to eyelashes according to the features of patent claim 1.

Zum Aufbringen von Wimperntusche bzw. Mascara auf die Wimpern an einem Augenlid wird herkömmlich das mit Wimperntusche getränkte Wimpernbürstchen bei geöffnetem Auge von unten her - beginnend beim Wimpernansatz bzw. Wimpernkranz - zu den Wimpernspitzen hin auf den Wimpern geführt bzw. abgerollt. Dabei kann das Augenlid bei Bedarf mit einem oder mehreren Fingern der einen Hand hochgezogen bzw. gestrafft werden. Die auf die Wimpern aufgetragene Wimperntusche bewirkt, dass die Wimpern kräftiger und länger erscheinen. Zum Teil enthält Mascara auch Kunstseide- oder Nylonfasern, welche nebst der farblichen Hervorhebung auch eine tatsächliche Verlängerung der Wimpern bewirken.For applying mascara or mascara to the eyelashes on an eyelid, the eyelash brush impregnated with mascara is conventionally guided or unrolled from the bottom, beginning with the eyelash extension or eyelash curl, toward the eyelash tips on the eyelashes. If necessary, the eyelid can be pulled up or tightened with one or more fingers of one hand. The mascara applied to the eyelashes causes the eyelashes to appear stronger and longer. In part, mascara also contains rayon or nylon fibers, which, in addition to the color highlighting, also cause an actual lengthening of the eyelashes.

Aus der US-A-5957142 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Abdecken der Augenlider beim Auftragen von Mascara bekannt. Sie umfasst eine flexible Abdeckmaske mit einer konkaven, an die Form eines Auges anpassbaren Kante. An der gegenüberliegenden Seite dieser Kante umfasst die Abdeckmaske zwei Aufnahmen zum Befestigen zweier Verbindungsarme eines Haltegriffs. Beim Abdecken eines Augenlids muss der Haltegriff oberhalb oder unterhalb des Augenlids gehalten werden.From the US-A-5957142 is a device for covering the eyelids when applying mascara known. It includes a flexible mask with a concave, adaptable to the shape of an eye edge. On the opposite side of this edge, the mask comprises two receptacles for attaching two connecting arms of a handle. When covering an eyelid, the handle must be held above or below the eyelid.

Im Weiteren ist es bekannt, Wimpern mittels Wimpernzangen so zu Verformen, dass ihre natürliche Wölbung verstärkt wird. Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist zum Beispiel aus der EP-B1-0902629 bekannt. Wimpernzangen haben den Nachteil, dass sie Wimpern beschädigen oder ausreissen können.Furthermore, it is known to eyelashes using eyelash curlers to deform so that their natural curvature is enhanced. Such a device is for example from the EP-B1-0902629 known. Eyelash curlers have the disadvantage that they can damage or tear out eyelashes.

Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung zum einfachen, schonenden und wirkungsvollen Aufbringen von Wimperntusche auf Wimpern zu schaffen.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a device for simple, gentle and to effectively apply mascara to eyelashes.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch einen Wimpernlöffel zum Aufbringen von Wimperntusche gemäss den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.This object is achieved by an eyelash spoon for applying mascara according to the features of claim 1.

Mit dem erfindungsgemässen Wimpernlöffel kann beim Auftragen der Wimperntusche mit der Bürste von unten her Druck.auf die Wimpern ausgeübt werden. Die äussere Oberfläche des entsprechend gewölbten Wimpernlöffels dient dabei als Anlagefläche für die Wimpern. Dadurch lässt sich die konvexe Wölbung der Wimpern direkt beim Aufbringen der Wimperntusche verstärken. Der Wimpernlöffel umfasst zwei sich diametral gegenüberliegende konkave Aussparungen, welche an die Form des Auges angepasst sind. Die Breite des Wimpernlöffels ist auf der dem Stiel gegenüber liegenden Seite der Aussparungen kleiner als auf der dem Stiel zugewandten Seite. Mit dieser ergonomischen Form kann der Wimpernlöffel ohne Behinderung auch nahe der Nase an das Augenlid angelegt werden. Die grössere Breite des Wimpernlöffels im stielseitigen Bereich der Aussparungen wird dem Umstand gerecht, dass die Wimpernlänge aussen am Auge in der Regel grösser ist innen. Entlang jeder der Aussparungen ist je ein Streifen an der Innenseite des Löffels als Haftprofil bzw. Haftelement ausgebildet. Das Haftelement kann z.B. bei einem Wimpernlöffel aus rostfreiem Edelstahl als aufgeraute Oberfläche ausgebildet sein. Mit dem Wimpernlöffel kann das Lid gleichmässig entlang des Wimpernkranzes hochgezogen werden. Die Wimperntusche kann so einfach vom Wimpernkranz bis zu den Spitzen der Wimpern aufgetragen werden. Dadurch kann eine optische Verdichtung des Wimpernkranzes und eine Verstärkung der Wimpernwölbung erreicht werden. Den Wimpern wird somit mehr Volumen und ein Schwungeffekt oder Curling-Effekt verliehen.With the eyelash spoon according to the invention, pressure can be exerted on the eyelashes when applying the mascara with the brush from below. The outer surface of the corresponding curved eyelash spoon serves as a contact surface for the eyelashes. This makes it possible to increase the convex curvature of the eyelashes directly when applying the mascara. The eyelash spoon comprises two diametrically opposed concave recesses which are adapted to the shape of the eye. The width of the eyelash spoon is on the opposite side of the stem of the recesses smaller than on the stem side facing. With this ergonomic shape, the eyelash spoon can be applied to the eyelid even near the nose without obstruction. The larger width of the eyelash spoon in the handle-side portion of the recesses is the fact that the eyelash length outside the eye is usually greater inside. Along each of the recesses, a strip is formed on the inside of the tray as an adhesive profile or adhesive element. The adhesive element can eg from a eyelash spoon stainless steel be designed as a roughened surface. With the eyelash spoon the eyelid can be pulled up evenly along the lash line. The mascara can be easily applied from the eyelashes to the tips of the eyelashes. As a result, an optical compression of the eyelash ring and an increase in eyelash curvature can be achieved. The eyelashes are thus given more volume and a swing effect or curling effect.

Mit dem Wimpernlöffel kann das Verkleben der Wimpern verhindert werden, da diese auf dem Wimpernlöffel abgestützt und beim Aufbringen der Tusche durchgekämmt werden. Zudem schützt der Wimpernlöffel die Augenlider vor Verfärbung durch Wimperntusche.With the eyelash spoon, the adhesion of the eyelashes can be prevented, as they are supported on the eyelash spoon and combed through the application of the ink. In addition, the eyelash spoon protects the eyelids from discoloration due to mascara.

Figur 1 zeigt die Anwendung eines Wimpernlöffels 1 in einer ersten Ausgestaltung. Der Wimpernlöffel 1 umfasst eine Schale 3 und einen Griff 5. Die Schale 3 hat bei der Ausführungsform gemäss Figur 1 im Wesentlichen die Form einer Kugelkalotte mit zwei sich diametral gegenüberliegenden, an die Form eines Auges 7 bzw. eines Augenlids 9 angepassten, in Bezug auf die Schale 3 konkav gerundeten Ausnehmungen 11a, 11b. Die Schale 3 eines solchen Wimpernlöffels 1 mit Hilfe einer ersten Kugel mit einem ersten Kugelradius und zweier weiterer Kugeln mit einem zweiten und einem dritten Kugelradius dargestellt werden, wobei die zweite und die dritte Kugel die erste Kugel schneiden. Ein Abschnitt der ersten Kugeloberfläche bildet die Kalotte, welche die Grundform der Schale 3 bildet. Die beiden anderen Kugeln schneiden aus dieser Kalotte die entsprechenden Ausnehmungen 11a und 11b heraus. Die Ränder bzw. Kanten und Ecken der Schale 3 sind derart abgerundet, dass sie keine Verletzungsgefahr für das Auge 7 darstellen. FIG. 1 shows the application of an eyelash spoon 1 in a first embodiment. The eyelash spoon 1 comprises a shell 3 and a handle 5. The shell 3 has in the embodiment according to FIG. 1 essentially the shape of a spherical cap with two diametrically opposite, adapted to the shape of an eye 7 and a eyelid 9, with respect to the shell 3 concavely rounded recesses 11a, 11b. The shell 3 of such an eyelash spoon 1 can be represented by means of a first ball having a first ball radius and two further balls having a second and a third ball radius, the second ball and the third ball intersecting the first ball. A portion of the first spherical surface forms the calotte, which forms the basic shape of the shell 3. The two other balls cut out of this dome the corresponding recesses 11a and 11b. The edges or edges and corners of the shell 3 are rounded so that they pose no risk of injury to the eye 7.

Der Griff 5 ist stift-, stab- oder rohrartig ausgebildet und mit der Schale 3 z.B. an einer der sich gegenüberliegenden konvex gekrümmten Seitenkanten 13a, 13b fest verbunden. Er kann z.B. ein rundes oder ein kantiges Profil oder eine andere zum Halten und/oder Führen der Schale 3 mit einer Hand geeignete Form aufweisen. Der Griff 5 kann z.B. einstückig mit der Schale 3 verbunden oder als wieder lösbares Teil z.B. mittels einer Rast- oder einer Schraubverbindung mit der Schale 3 verbunden sein. Insbesondere kann der Griff 5 auch mehrere zusammensteckbare oder zusammenschraubbare oder in anderer Weise miteinander verbindbare Teile umfassen. Der Griff 5 kann eine glatte oder eine strukturierte Oberfläche aufweisen. Insbesondere besteht die Möglichkeit, geschliffene oder ungeschliffene Edelsteine am Griff 5 anzubringen. Alternativ kann der Griff 5 auch teleskopartig ausziehbar und/oder mindestens teilweise über die konvex gekrümmte Aussenseite der Schale 3 schiebbar ausgebildet sein. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Länge des Schminklöffels 1 zwecks Aufbewahrung und Transport (z.B. in einem kleinen Etui) stark reduziert werden kann.The handle 5 is formed pin, rod or tube-like and with the shell 3, for. at one of the opposite convex curved side edges 13a, 13b firmly connected. He can e.g. have a round or an edged profile or other suitable for holding and / or guiding the shell 3 with one hand shape. The handle 5 may e.g. integrally connected to the shell 3 or as a detachable part, e.g. be connected by means of a locking or a screw connection with the shell 3. In particular, the handle 5 can also comprise a plurality of parts which can be plugged together or screwed together or otherwise connected to one another. The handle 5 may have a smooth or a textured surface. In particular, it is possible to attach ground or unground gemstones on the handle 5. Alternatively, the handle 5 may be telescopically extendable and / or at least partially formed on the convex curved outer side of the shell 3 slidably. This has the advantage that the length of make-up spoon 1 can be greatly reduced for storage and transportation (e.g., in a small case).

Die Schale 3 und/oder der Griff 5 können z.B. aus Chromstahl - vorzugsweise aus rostfreiem und säurebeständigem sowie spülmaschinenfestem Edelstahl mit etwa 18% Chrom- und 10% Nickel-Anteilen - oder einem anderen Metall oder aus Kunststoff gefertigt sein, der nach Möglichkeit hautverträglich und chemikalienresistent sein sollte.The shell 3 and / or the handle 5 may for example be made of chrome steel - preferably made of stainless and acid-resistant and dishwasher-safe stainless steel with about 18% chromium and 10% nickel content - or another metal or plastic, the if possible skin-friendly and should be resistant to chemicals.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung des Wimpernlöffels 1 umfasst die Kante der Schale 3 mindestens im Bereich der Ausnehmungen 11a, 11b ein Haftelement 15. Bei einem Wimpernlöffel 1 aus Edelstahl, dessen Oberflächen einschliesslich der gratfreien Kanten auf Hochglanz poliert sind, kann das Haftelement 15 z.B. als etwa 2mm bis etwa 6mm breiter, perlgestrahlter, sandgestrahlter, seidenmatt gebürsteter, mit einer graphischen Gravurprägung (z.B. in der Grössenordnung von etwa 50 bis etwa 100 Mikrometer) versehener oder in sonstiger Weise aufgerauter Streifen an der Innenseite der Oberfläche des Wimpernlöffels entlang der Ausnehmungen 11a, 11b ausgebildet sein. Alternativ kann auch die gesamte innere Oberfläche der Schale 3 aufgeraut sein.In a preferred embodiment of the eyelash spoon 1, the edge of the shell 3 comprises an adhesive element 15 at least in the region of the recesses 11a, 11b. For a stainless steel eyelash spoon 1 whose surfaces, including the burr-free edges, are polished to a high gloss, the adhesive element 15 can be e.g. as about 2mm to about 6mm wide, bead blasted, sandblasted, semi-matte brushed, engraved (e.g., on the order of about 50 to about 100 microns) or otherwise roughened stripes on the inside of the surface of the eyelash spoon along the recesses 11a , 11b be formed. Alternatively, the entire inner surface of the shell 3 may be roughened.

Das Haftelement 15 kann alternativ z.B. aus Gummi oder einem gummiähnlichen Material gefertigt sein. Das Haftelement 15 kann z.B. auf die bei Anwendung des Wimpernlöffels 1 dem Auge zugewandte Seite der Schale 3 aufgeklebt oder mittels Spritzgiessverfahren angespritzt sein. Zumindest die harte Schale 3 und das weiche bzw. elastische Haftelement 15 können in einem zweikomponentigen Spritzgiessprozess in nur einem Arbeitsgang hergestellt werden. Alternativ kann das Haftelement 15 auch U-förmig ausgebildet und über die Kante der Schale 3 gestülpt sein. Alternativ kann auch die ganze Schale 3 mit einer Haftschicht überzogen oder aus einem Material mit guten Hafteigenschaften auf der Haut ausgebildet sein. Das Haftelement 15 ermöglicht selbst bei sehr geringer Andruckkraft ein problemloses Hochziehen und Halten des oberen Augenlids 9, ohne dabei allfällig aufgetragenen Lidschatten zu verschmieren.The adhesive element 15 may alternatively be made of rubber or a rubber-like material, for example. The adhesive element 15 may, for example, be glued to the side of the shell 3 facing the eye when the eyelash spoon 1 is used, or may be injection-molded by means of injection molding. At least the hard shell 3 and the soft or elastic adhesive element 15 can be produced in a two-component injection molding process in only one operation. Alternatively, the adhesive element 15 may also be U-shaped and slipped over the edge of the shell 3. Alternatively, the whole shell 3 coated with an adhesive layer or be formed from a material with good adhesive properties on the skin. The adhesive element 15 allows a problem-free pulling up and holding the upper eyelid 9 even at very low pressure force, without smearing any eye shadow applied.

Bei der Fertigung metallischer Schalen 3 wird in der Regel ein ebenes Blech zuerst entlang des Schalenrandes gestanzt und danach gewalzt, um die kalottenartig gewölbte Form zu erhalten. Die im Folgenden angegebenen, die Form des Schalenrandes spezifizierenden Radien, beziehen sich auf das ebene, noch ungewalzte Material. Alternativ können sich diese Masse auch auf die Form der gewölbten Schale 3, wie sie in der Aufsicht gemäss Figur 5a sichtbar ist, beziehen. Die Figuren 5b und 5c zeigen Schnittbilder des Wimpernlöffels aus Figur 5a entlang der Linien A-A bzw. B-B. Der Krümmungsradius des in Figur 5b dargestellten Längsschnittes der Schale 3 beträgt beispielsweise etwa 65mm, jener des in Figur 5c dargestellten Querschnittes etwa 70mm. Die Länge L der Schale 3 kann z.B. im Bereich von etwa 40mm bis etwa 50mm liegen und beträgt vorzugsweise etwa 45mm.In the manufacture of metallic shells 3 a flat sheet is usually first punched along the edge of the shell and then rolled to obtain the dome-like curved shape. The radii specified below, which specify the shape of the shell edge, refer to the flat, yet unrolled material. Alternatively, this mass may also affect the shape of the domed shell 3, as shown in the plan view FIG. 5a is visible, refer. The FIGS. 5b and 5c show sectional views of the eyelash spoon FIG. 5a along the lines AA and BB. The radius of curvature of in FIG. 5b shown longitudinal section of the shell 3 is for example about 65mm, that of the in FIG. 5c illustrated cross section about 70mm. The length L of the shell 3 may for example be in the range of about 40mm to about 50mm and is preferably about 45mm.

Die Schale 3 und somit die Ausnehmungen 11a, 11b sind vorzugsweise spiegelsymmetrisch ausgebildet, derart, dass der Wimpernlöffel 1 gleichermassen sowohl beim linken als auch beim rechten Auge 7 angewendet werden kann. Bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung des Wimpernlöffels gemäss Figur 1 ist die Breite s2 der Schale 3 bei den weiter vom Griff 5 entfernten Enden der Ausnehmungen 11a, 11b kleiner als die Breite s1 bei den näher beim Griff 5 liegenden Enden. Die Breite s2 kann z.B. einen Wert im Bereich von etwa 10mm bis etwa 25mm aufweisen und vorzugsweise etwa 20mm betragen. Die Breite s1 kann z.B. einen Wert im Bereich von etwa 20mm bis etwa 35mm aufweisen und vorzugsweise etwa 30mm betragen. Bei kreisförmigen Ausnehmungen 11a, 11b liegen deren Krümmungsradien vorzugsweise im Bereich von etwa 15mm bis etwa 30mm und betragen vorzugsweise etwa 21 mm. Die zuvor aufgeführten Werte ermöglichen eine optimale Anpassung an die meisten Augenlieder und ein wirkungsvolles und präzises Auftragen von Wimperntusche. Alternativ können die sich gegenüberliegenden Ausnehmungen 11a und 11b auch unterschiedliche Krümmungsradien aufweisen, sodass eine Anpassung an unterschiedlichen Augenkonturen möglich ist. In diesem Fall ist vorzugsweise an beiden Seitenkanten 13a, 13b je eine Ankoppelstelle 17 für den Griff 5 vorgesehen (Figur 2), oder alternativ ein um eine zentrisch an der konvex gekrümmten Aussenseite der Schale 3 ausgebildete Ankoppelstelle 17 schwenkbarer und in zwei Endlagen verrastbarer Griff 5 (Figur 3). In diesen Endlagen überragt der Griff 5 die konvex gekrümmten Seitenkanten 13a, 13b. Vorzugsweise sind die Krümmungsradien der Seitenkanten 13a, 13b etwa halb so gross wie die zugehörigen Breiten s1 bzw. s2 der Schale 3 an der jeweiligen Schalenseite. Selbstverständlich sind auch davon abweichende Werte möglich.The shell 3 and thus the recesses 11a, 11b are preferably mirror-symmetrical, such that the eyelash spoon 1 can be applied equally to both the left and the right eye 7. In a preferred embodiment of the eyelash spoon according to figure 1 is the width s 2 of the shell 3 at the farther from the handle 5 remote ends of the recesses 11 a, 11 b smaller than the width s 1 at the closer to the handle 5 lying ends. For example, the width s 2 may have a value in the range of about 10 mm to about 25 mm, and preferably about 20 mm. For example, the width s 1 may have a value in the range of about 20mm to about 35mm, and preferably about 30mm. For circular recesses 11a, 11b, their radii of curvature are preferably in the range of about 15 mm to about 30 mm and preferably about 21 mm. The values listed above allow for optimal adaptation to most eyelids and effective and precise application of mascara. Alternatively, the opposing recesses 11a and 11b may also have different radii of curvature, so that an adaptation to different eye contours is possible. In this case, a coupling point 17 for the handle 5 is preferably provided on both side edges 13a, 13b ( FIG. 2 ), or alternatively a coupling point 17 which can be pivoted about a centrally formed on the convexly curved outer side of the shell 3 and can be latched in two end positions (FIG. FIG. 3 ). In these end positions, the handle 5 projects beyond the convexly curved side edges 13a, 13b. Preferably, the radii of curvature of the side edges 13a, 13b are about half as large as the associated widths s 1 and s 2 of the shell 3 on the respective shell side. Of course, deviating values are also possible.

Die Schale 3 kann - ähnlich einem Speiselöffel - in gleichmässiger Materialstärke ausgebildet sein. Alternativ kann die Schale 3 auch als "echtes" dreidimensionales Gebilde mit unterschiedlichen Materialstärken ausgestaltet sein und z.B. eine Querschnittform ähnlich jener einer Kontaktlinse aufweisen. Figur 4 zeigt ein Detail einer solchen Schale 3 mit angespritztem Haftelement 15.The shell 3 can - similar to a dining spoon - be formed in uniform material thickness. Alternatively, the shell 3 can also be designed as a "real" three-dimensional structure with different material thicknesses and, for example, have a cross-sectional shape similar to that of a contact lens. FIG. 4 shows a detail of such a shell 3 with molded adhesive element 15th

Zum Auftragen der Wimperntusche auf die Wimpern 19 wird der Wimpernlöffel 1 mit einer Hand am Griff 5 gehalten und mit dem Haftelement 15 knapp hinter dem Wimpernkranz an das obere Augenlid 9 angelegt. Mit dem Wimpernlöffel wird das Augenlid leicht hochgezogen. Die Neigung der konvex gekrümmten Aussenseite der Schale 3 wird so eingestellt, dass die Wimpern 19 mit dem Wimpernbürstchen leicht mit Schwung von unten nach oben gebürstet werden können. Die Wimpern 19 können dabei an der Schale 3 anliegen, werden dabei durchgekämmt und erhalten ohne zusätzliche mechanische oder thermische Hilfsmittel die gewünschte Form und Fülle.To apply the mascara to the eyelashes 19 of the eyelash spoon 1 is held with one hand on the handle 5 and applied with the adhesive element 15 just behind the eyelashes to the upper eyelid 9. With the eyelash spoon, the eyelid is slightly pulled up. The inclination of the convex curved outside of the shell 3 is adjusted so that the eyelashes 19 can be easily brushed with the eyelash brush with swing from bottom to top. The eyelashes 19 can rest against the shell 3, are thereby combed through and obtained without additional mechanical or thermal aids the desired shape and fullness.

Selbstverständlich kann der Wimpernlöffel 1 auch zum Tuschen der Wimpern 19 des untern Augenlids 9 verwendet werden, wobei der Wimpernlöffel 1 im Bereich des Wimpernkranzes am unteren Augenlid 9 angesetzt und das untere Augenlid 9 leicht nach unten gezogen wird. Dank der sich gegenüberliegenden Ausnehmungen 11a, 11b ist der Wechsel vom oberen zum unteren Augenlid 9 einfach und ohne Griffwechsel möglich.Of course, the eyelash spoon 1 can also be used for showering the eyelashes 19 of the lower eyelid 9, the eyelash spoon 1 being attached to the lower eyelid 9 in the region of the eyelashes and the lower eyelid 9 being pulled slightly downwards. Thanks to the opposing recesses 11 a, 11 b is the Change from the upper to the lower eyelid 9 easy and without handle change possible.
