Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf einen Applikator, insbesondere für Mascara, Haarfärbemittel oder ähnliche Kosmetika, umfassend einen länglichen, mit einem Stiel verbindbaren Grundkörper aus einem vergleichsweise harten Kunststoff und einen rohrförmigen Borstenkörper mit borstenartigen, radial wegstehenden Ansätzen aus einem relativ weichen Kunststoff. Ein derartiger Applikator ist bekannt aus EP 0 038 524 A1 bzw. DE 25 59 273 A1 oder aus WO 02/056726 A .The invention is directed to an applicator, in particular for mascara, hair dyes or similar cosmetics, comprising an elongated, connectable with a stem base body of a comparatively hard plastic and a tubular bristle body with bristle-like, radially projecting lugs of a relatively soft plastic. Such an applicator is known from EP 0 038 524 A1 respectively. DE 25 59 273 A1 or off WO 02/056726 A ,

Ein von der hier in Rede stehenden Applikatorgattung weiter entfernt liegender Applikator ist aus dem US-Patent 6,260,558 B1 bekannt - die dort vorgeschlagene Konstruktion verwendet eine Anzahl scheibenförmiger, beflockter oder unbeflockter Elemente, die nacheinander wie Perlen auf der Schnur auf den Grundkörper aufgereiht werden und den Borstenbesatz oder das Substitut hierfür bilden.An applicator farther from the type of applicator in question here is known from US Pat U.S. Patent 6,260,558 B1 The construction proposed therein uses a number of disc-shaped, flocked or unflocked elements, which are successively strung like pearls on the cord onto the body forming the bristle stock or the substitute therefor.

Der grundsätzliche Vorteil eines derartigen Applikators besteht darin, dass er kostengünstig herstellbar ist. Der relativ harte Kunststoff des Grundkörpers gibt die erforderliche Stabilität, wohingegen der weiche Kunststoff des Borstenkörpers die Ausbildung entsprechend weicher borstenartiger Ansätze ermöglicht.The fundamental advantage of such an applicator is that it can be produced inexpensively. The relatively hard plastic of the base body gives the required stability, whereas the soft plastic of the bristle body allows the formation of correspondingly soft bristle-like approaches.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen solchen Applikator so weiterzubilden, dass er bei vorteilhafter Herstellbarkeit stabile Gebrauchseigenschaften aufweist.The invention has the object of developing such an applicator so that it has stable operating characteristics with advantageous manufacturability.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist vorgesehen, dass der Applikator, insbesondere für Mascara, Haarfärbemittel oder ähnliche Kosmetika, umfassend einen länglichen, mit einem Stiel verbindbaren Grundkörper aus einem vergleichsweise harten Kunststoff und einen rohrförmigen Borstenkörper mit borstenartigen, radial wegstehenden Ansätzen aus einem relativ weichen Kunststoff, wobei der Borstenkörper gegenüber dem Grundkörper axial fixiert ist, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Applikator einen Stielansatz besitzt, wobei ein Ringspalt zwischen einer Ausnehmung des Stielansatzes und dem Grundkörper vorgesehen ist, in welchem ein Ansatz des Borstenkörpers aufgenommen wird.To achieve this object, it is provided that the applicator, in particular for mascara, hair dye or similar cosmetics, comprising an elongated, connectable with a stem base body of a comparatively hard plastic and a tubular bristle body with bristle-like, radially projecting lugs made of a relatively soft plastic, wherein the bristle body is axially fixed relative to the base body, characterized in that the applicator has a stalk approach, wherein an annular gap between a recess of the stem attachment and the base body is provided, in which a projection of the bristle body is received.

Durch eine solche axiale Fixierung wird erreicht, dass im Gebrauch, insbesondere auch beim Herausziehen und Hineinstecken des Applikators in einen Vorratsbehälter, z. B. bei einer Mascara-Einheit, beim Passieren einer Abstreifeinrichtung stabil bleibt.By such axial fixation is achieved that in use, especially when pulling out and inserting the applicator in a reservoir, z. B. in a mascara unit, when passing a stripping device remains stable.

Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform ist das freie, distale Ende des Grundkörpers mit einer einstückig angespritzten, radial vorspringenden Fixierungskappe versehen, deren Außendurchmesser nach einer thermischen Verformung mit einem Stempel etwa dem Außendurchmesser des Borstenkörpers entspricht, und welche den Borstenkörper, der im 2-Komponenten-Spritzgießverfahren angespritzt oder übergeschoben sein kann, axial fixiert.In another embodiment, the free, distal end of the base body is provided with an integrally molded, radially projecting fixing cap whose outer diameter corresponds to a thermal deformation with a punch about the outer diameter of the bristle body, and which the bristle body, the two-component injection molding molded or pushed over, axially fixed.

Bei einer dritten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass der Borstenkörper im Bereich des freien distalen Endes eine Stirnwand aufweist, welche an der Stirnwand des Grundkörpers anliegt.In a third embodiment it is provided that the bristle body in the region of the free distal end has an end wall, which bears against the end wall of the base body.

Ein Applikator 1 umfasst einen Grundkörper 2 aus einem relativ harten Material und vergleichsweise harten Kunststoff und einen Borstenkörper 3 aus einem relativ weichen Kunststoff mit einer Mehrzahl angespritzter, sich radial nach außen erstreckender borstenartiger Ansätze 4. Der Grundkörper 2 eines nicht den Wortlaut der Erfindung wiedergebenden Applikators 1 ist mit einem Stielansatz 5 einstückig gespritzt, der mit einem Stiel verbindbar ist.An applicator 1 comprises a base body 2 made of a relatively hard material and comparatively hard plastic, and a bristle body 3 made of a relatively soft plastic having a plurality of molded, radially outwardly extending bristle-like projections 4. The base body 2 of an applicator not reflecting the wording of the invention 1 is integrally molded with a stem approach 5, which is connectable to a stem.

Der Stiel kann in an sich bekannter Weise mit der Innenseite des Deckels eine Schraubkappe verbunden sein, welche ihrerseits auf das Außengewinde eines Vorratsbehälters für das jeweilige Kosmetikum, z. B. Mascara, aufgeschraubt ist.The stem may be connected in a conventional manner with the inside of the lid a screw cap, which in turn on the external thread of a reservoir for the respective cosmetic, z. B. mascara, is screwed.

Ein Beitrag zur Fixierung ist dadurch gegeben, dass am distalen Ende 8 des Grundkörpers 2 eine Fixierungskappe 9 vorgesehen ist, deren Außendurchmesser etwa dem Außendurchmesser des Borstenkörpers 3 entspricht.A contribution to the fixation is given by the fact that at the distal end 8 of the base body 2, a fixing cap 9 is provided, whose outer diameter corresponds approximately to the outer diameter of the bristle body 3.

Bei der vollständig erfindungsgemäßen und im Hinblick auf die Erfindung auch an späterer Stelle noch näher beschriebenen Ausführungsform nach Figur 4 weist der Grundkörper 2 mehrere kragenartige Vorsprünge 17 auf, die eine kegelstumpfförmige Form derart besitzen, dass der Kegelstumpf sich zum freien Ende verjüngt. Wenn dementsprechend der Borstenkörper 3 auf den Grundkörper 2 montiert wird, wirken die Vorsprünge 17 wie Widerhaken und verhindern ein Lösen des Borstenkörpers 3.In the fully inventive and in view of the invention also described in more detail later embodiment FIG. 4 For example, the base body 2 has a plurality of collar-like projections 17, which have a frusto-conical shape such that the truncated cone tapers to the free end. Accordingly, when the bristle body 3 is mounted on the main body 2, the protrusions 17 act like barbs and prevent the bristle body 3 from coming off.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach Figur 6 weist der Borstenkörper 3 ein zangenartiges inneres Ende 21 auf. Ein Stielansatz 22 ist mit einer konischen Ausnehmung 23 versehen. Beim Aufschieben des Stielansatzes 22 übergreift die konische Öffnung 23 den ebenfalls konischen Bereich 24 des Zangenansatzes 21, sodass endseitige Zangenarme 25 in eine Bohrung 26 des Grundkörpers 2 gedrückt werden und hierdurch eine stabile Verbindung geschaffen wird.In the embodiment according to FIG. 6 the bristle body 3 has a forceps-like inner end 21. A stem attachment 22 is provided with a conical recess 23. When sliding the handle neck 22, the conical opening 23 engages over the likewise conical region 24 of the pliers approach 21, so that end-side gun arms 25 are pressed into a bore 26 of the body 2 and thereby a stable connection is created.

In Figur 8 ist eine Ausführungsform dargestellt, bei welcher der Grundkörper 2 einstückig mit einem Stielansatz 22 ausgebildet ist, der entsprechend Figur 6 eine konische Ausnehmung 23 aufweist, die als Ringspalt ausgebildet ist, in welche das ebenfalls konische Ende 29 des Borstenkörpers eingreift und über einen radialen Bolzen 30 festgelegt ist. Das innere Ende 31 des Borstenkörpers 3 geht konisch-fluchtend in den Stielansatz 22 über.In FIG. 8 an embodiment is shown in which the base body 2 is integrally formed with a handle neck 22, the corresponding FIG. 6 a conical recess 23 which is formed as an annular gap into which the likewise conical end 29 of the bristle body engages and is fixed by a radial pin 30. The inner end 31 of the bristle body 3 merges into the stem neck 22 in a conically aligned manner.

Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird erreicht, dass beim Abstreifvorgang ein Verhaken des Abstreifers am Übergangsbereich vermieden wird. Es wird erreicht, dass der biegeschlaffe Borstenkörper 3 nicht von dem steifen Grundkörper 2 abgezogen wird.By this configuration it is achieved that during stripping a snagging of the scraper is avoided at the transition region. It is achieved that the pliable bristle body 3 is not removed from the rigid base body 2.

Wie insbesondere aus Figur 4 erkennbar, kann die Ausnehmung in dem Montageansatz 22 relativ zu dem Stielansatz des Grundkörpers 2 so dimensioniert sein, dass ein Ringspalt entsteht, in welchem ein Ansatz des Borstenkörpers 3 aufgenommen wird.As in particular from FIG. 4 Recognizable, the recess may be dimensioned in the mounting projection 22 relative to the stem extension of the base body 2 so that an annular gap is formed, in which a projection of the bristle body 3 is received.

Der Borstenkörper 2 kann weiterhin zwei Ansätze besitzen, die im Abstand voneinander verlaufen und endseitig nach innen vorspringende Zapfen aufweisen. Wird dann der Stielansatz 22 aufgeschoben, werden die Ansätze zangenartig durch die Innenwand der konischen Ausnehmung 23 des Stielansatzes 22 nach innen gedrückt und greifen dann in korrespondierende Ausnehmungen des Grundkörpers 2 ein und werden hierdurch fixiert.The bristle body 2 may further comprise two lugs, which extend at a distance from each other and end inwardly projecting pins. If then the stem approach 22 is postponed, the approaches are like pliers through the inner wall of the conical recess 23 of the stem approach 22 inward pressed and then engage in corresponding recesses of the body 2 and are thereby fixed.

Der Stielansatz 22 kann mehrkantig, z. B. fünfkantig ausgebildet sein, um auf diese Weise eine Verdrehsicherung zu erzielen.The stem approach 22 can polygonal, z. B. five-edged to achieve in this way an anti-rotation.

Wie insbesondere aus Figuren 6 und 8 erkennbar kann statt der Fixierungskappe 9 ein Borstenkörper 3 mit einer Stirnwand 10 im Bereich des freien, distalen Endes vorgesehen sein, wobei die Stirnwand 10 an der Stirnwand 11 des Grundkörpers 2 anliegt.As in particular from FIGS. 6 and 8th can be provided instead of the fixing cap 9, a bristle body 3 with an end wall 10 in the region of the free, distal end, wherein the end wall 10 rests against the end wall 11 of the base body 2.

Die Borsten sind, wie im Ausführungsbeispiel gezeichnet, vorzugsweise konisch, können aber auch rund sein und lediglich eine konische oder meißelförmige Spitze aufweisen. Der Querschnitt der Borsten kann rund sein oder auch von einer runden Geometrie abweichen. Die Borstenzahl kann zwischen 30 und 600 liegen. Die Borsten können in axialer Richtung einen Kamm bilden. The bristles are, as drawn in the exemplary embodiment, preferably conical, but may also be round and have only a conical or chisel-shaped tip. The cross section of the bristles may be round or even deviate from a round geometry. The number of bristles can be between 30 and 600. The bristles can form a comb in the axial direction.
