Im Wesentlichen umfasst dieses bekannte Mittel zum Kühlen der Haut Wasser, Alkohol, ein Tensid und wasserlösliches Silikon. Aus der US 2006/0067962 Al geht ein Applikator hervor, bei dem das die Haut kühlende Mittel auf einem Substrat angeordnet ist. Dabei wird das Substrat in der Form eines Pflasters an einer entsprechenden Hautpartie befestigt.It is known to cool the skin of a human for medical and / or cosmetic reasons. US 2006/0067962 A1 discloses a skin-cooling agent which comprises components which allow both quick cooling of the skin and cooling of the skin over an extended period of time. In essence, this known means for cooling the skin comprises water, alcohol, a surfactant and water-soluble silicone. US 2006/0067962 A1 discloses an applicator in which the skin-cooling agent is arranged on a substrate. In this case, the substrate is attached in the form of a patch to a corresponding skin area.
In der WO 03/000089 A2 ist eine wegwerfbare Applikatoreinrichtung erläutert, mit der insbesondere kosmetischen Flüssigkeiten oder Cremes auf eine zu behandelnde Hautoberfläche eines menschlichen Körpers aufbringbar sind. Dabei wird die Flüssigkeit in einer Speicherschicht gespeichert und über eine flüssigkeitssteuernde Steuerschicht auf eine Applikatorfläche abgegeben. Es ist ferner eine undurchlässige Schicht vorgesehen, die verhindert, dass die Flüssigkeit von der Applikatorfläche abfließt.In WO 03/000089 A2, a disposable applicator device is explained with which in particular cosmetic liquids or creams can be applied to a skin surface of a human body to be treated. In this case, the liquid is stored in a storage layer and discharged via a liquid-controlling control layer onto an applicator surface. There is also provided an impermeable layer which prevents the liquid from flowing off the applicator surface.
In der DE 199 42 566 Al ist ein Kühlkissen zur Anwendung für Kühlvorgänge erläutert, das ein mit einem Gelbildner vermischtes Salzgemisch beinhaltet und dieses im Inneren des Kühlkissens bis zur Zusammenführung getrennt von einem Aktivator hält. Wenn der Aktivator, bei dem es sich um Wasser handeln kann, dem mit dem Gelbildner vermischten Salzgemisch zugeführt wird, kommt es zu einer Kältereaktion, bei der die Temperatur des Kühlkissens auf etwa 0° C sinkt.DE 199 42 566 A1 describes a cooling pad for use in cooling processes, which contains a salt mixture mixed with a gelling agent and keeps it separate from an activator in the interior of the cooling pad until it is brought together. When the activator, which may be water, is added to the salt mixture mixed with the gelling agent, a cold reaction occurs in which the temperature of the cooling pad drops to about 0 ° C.
Aus der WO 2004/043534 Al geht eine Applikatoreinrichtung mit einem Applikatorelement zum Applizieren einer in einem Substanzraum enthaltenen Substanz auf eine Hautpartie hervor. Dabei kann das Applikatorteil einen Vibrator und ein Mittel enthalten, mit denen die Haut gekühlt oder erhitzt werden kann.WO 2004/043534 A1 discloses an applicator device with an applicator element for applying a substance contained in a substance space to a skin area.

Der wesentliche Vorteil der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, dass einerseits behandlungs- bzw. pflegebedürftige Hautpartien eines Menschen, insbesondere die Augenpartie oder beispielsweise eine von Cellulite oder Schmerzen bzw. Verspannungen betroffene Körperpartie, durch eine leichte Vibrationsmassage zur Anregung der Lymphtätigkeit und/oder Durchblutung in Vibrationen versetzt wird, wobei ggf. vorhandene Schwellungen der genannten Hautpartien abklingen. Gleichzeitig wird durch die erfindungsgemäße Applikatoreinrichtung in vorteilhafter Weise eine pflegend und/oder medizinisch (z. B. abschwellend, durchblutungsfördernd oder drainierend bzw. entwässernd) wirkende Substanz auf die betreffenden Hautpartien aufgebracht. Dadurch, dass die genannte Substanz auf einer Hautpartie unter gleichzeitiger Einwirkung von Vibrationen aufgebracht wird, ist eine besonders effektive und schnell wirkende Hautpflege möglich. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, dass die medizinische und/oder kosmetische Substanz in gekühlter oder aufgewärmter Form aufgetragen werden kann. Dadurch können die Wirkung der Substanz und daher auch die physiologischen Haut- und Körperreaktionen verbessert bzw. beschleunigt werden. Ferner ist es auch denkbar die erfindungsgemäße Applikatoreinrichtung 1 zur Behandlung von orthopädischen Krankheitsbildern oder zur vorzugsweise postoperativen Narben- und Gewebebehandlung sowie im Zusammenhang mit anderen Indikationen, beispielsweise palliativ zur Schmerzlinderung oder bei entzündlichen Erkrankungen einzusetzen.The essential advantage of the present invention is that on the one hand treatment or care requiring skin parts of a human, especially the eye area or, for example, affected by cellulite or pain or tension body part, by a slight vibration massage to stimulate the Lymphtätigkeit and / or blood circulation in vibration is added, whereby possibly existing swellings of said skin parts decay. At the same time, by means of the applicator device according to the invention, a substance which has a nourishing and / or medical action (for example, decongestant, promotes blood circulation or draining or dehydrating) is applied to the relevant skin parts in an advantageous manner. The fact that the said substance is applied to a skin area with simultaneous exposure to vibration, a particularly effective and fast-acting skin care is possible. It is particularly advantageous that the medical and / or cosmetic substance can be applied in cooled or warmed-up form. As a result, the effect of the substance and therefore also the physiological skin and body reactions can be improved or accelerated. Furthermore, it is also conceivable to use the applicator device 1 according to the invention for the treatment of orthopedic diseases or for preferably postoperative scar and tissue treatment as well as in connection with other indications, for example palliative for pain relief or in inflammatory diseases.
Ein weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, dass die Applikatoreinrichtung so ausgestaltet ist, dass das die zu applizierende Substanz enthaltende Applikatorteil als Wegwerfteil ausgebildet ist, sodass das Vibrationsteil der erfindungsgemäßen Applikatoreinrichtung wahlweise für verschiedene Substanzen angewendet werden kann. Dabei kann das Wegwerfteil gleichzeitig auch die eine Kühlung oder eine Erwärmung bewirkenden Mittel umfassen. Beispielsweise kann es sich bei diesen Mitteln um an sich bekannte Reaktionsmittel handeln.Another essential advantage of the present invention is that the applicator device is designed such that the applicator part containing the substance to be applied is designed as a disposable part, so that the vibrating part of the applicator device according to the invention can optionally be used for different substances. At the same time, the disposable part may also comprise the means which cause cooling or heating. For example, these agents may be per se known reactants.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht zusätzlich die Möglichkeit einer Lichttherapie. Im Rahmen eines Forschungsprogramms der NASA wurde nämlich bewiesen, dass eine Lichttherapie, bei der vorzugsweise Licht mit der Hilfe von Licht emittierenden Dioden (LEDs) erzeugt wird, der Heilungsprozess von Wunden und das Wachstum des menschlichen Gewebes (Zellgeneration) beschleunigt werden können. Darüber hinaus hat man festgestellt, dass die von den LEDs emittierte Lichtenergie den Metabolismus der Zellen verbessert und die Zellerneuerung beschleunigt. Somit stellt die Lichttherapie - nicht zuletzt durch ihre stimmungsaufhellende Wirkung - eine wirksame Methode zur Behandlung und Prophylaxe von vielen Krankheiten dar.In an advantageous embodiment of the present invention, there is additionally the possibility of light therapy. As part of a research program at NASA In fact, it has been proven that light therapy, which preferably generates light with the aid of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), can accelerate the healing process of wounds and the growth of human tissue (cell generation). In addition, it has been found that the light energy emitted by the LEDs improves cell metabolism and accelerates cell turnover. Thus, the light therapy - not least by its mood-enhancing effect - is an effective method for the treatment and prophylaxis of many diseases.

In der insbesondere aus den Figuren 1 und 2 ersichtlichen Weise besteht die vorliegende Applikatoreinrichtung 1 im Wesentlichen aus einem Applikatorteil 2, das eine zu applizierende Substanz 27 sowie die die Kühlung oder Erwärmung dieser Substanz 27 bewirkende Mittel umfasst, und einem Vibrationsteil 3. Gemäß Figur 2 umfasst das Vibrationsteil 3 im Wesentlichen in einem unteren Gehäuseteil 4 eine Energiequelle 5, der vorzugsweise die Form einer Batterie aufweist, ein vorzugsweise am unteren Ende des Gehäuseteiles 4 angeordnetes Steuerteil 13, das wenigstens einen Ein/Ausschalters aufweist, ein Schwingungen in der Längsrichtung des Vibrationsteiles 3 (siehe Pfeil 6) erzeugendes Vibrationselement 10, das von der Energiequelle 5 mit Strom versorgt wird, und ein vorzugsweise an der oberen Seite des Gehäuseteiles 4 angeordnetes Verbindungsteil 7 zur Verbindung des oberen Gehäuseteiles 8 mit dem unteren Gehäuseteil 4. Am Steuerteil 13 kann vorzugsweise auch die Schwingungsamplitude der Vibrationen des Vibrationselementes 10 eingestellt werden. Bei dem Vibrationselement 10 kann es sich beispielsweise um ein Piezobauteil handeln. Es wird darauf hingewiesen, dass die Energiequelle 5 auch durch die Möglichkeit eines Anschlusses an ein Wechsel- oder Gleichspannungsnetz gebildet sein kann.In the manner shown in particular in FIGS. 1 and 2, the present applicator device 1 consists essentially of an applicator part 2, which comprises a substance 27 to be applied and the means causing the cooling or heating of this substance 27, and a vibration part 3. According to FIG For example, the vibration part 3 essentially comprises a power source 5 in a lower housing part 4, which preferably has the shape of a battery, a control part 13, preferably arranged at the lower end of the housing part 4, which has at least one on / off switch, vibrations in the longitudinal direction of the vibration part 3 (see arrow 6) generating vibration element 10, which is supplied by the power source 5 with power, and a preferably arranged on the upper side of the housing part 4 connecting part 7 for connecting the upper housing part 8 with the lower housing part 4. The control part 13 may preferably also the vibration amplitude the vibrations of the vibrating element 10 are adjusted. The vibrating element 10 may be, for example, a Act Piezobauteil. It should be noted that the power source 5 can also be formed by the possibility of connection to a AC or DC voltage network.
Das mit dem Vibrationsteil 3 mit der Hilfe des Verbindungsteiles 7 befestigbare Applikatorteil 2 umfasst im Wesentlichen in dem oberen Gehäuseteil 8 ein Applikatorelement 9, über das eine auf einer Hautpartie aufzutragende medizinische und/oder kosmetische Substanz auf die genannte Hautpartie applizierbar ist. Beispielsweise handelt es sich bei dem Applikatorelement 9 um ein so genanntes RoII- On-Element in der Form eines die Substanz über ihre Oberfläche abgebenden Kugelteiles 11, das von den handelsüblichen, so genannten Deo-Rollem her bekannt ist. Das Kugelteil 11 ist in einer entsprechenden, etwa halbkugelförmigen Mulde 12 des oberen Gehäuseteiles 8 enthalten. Im Inneren des oberen Gehäuseteiles 8 befindet sich ein die zu applizierende Substanz 27 enthaltender Substanzraum 25, von dem aus die Substanz beim Gebrauch der Applikatoreinrichtung 1 auf die Oberfläche des Kugelteiles 11 übertragen wird. Das Kugelteil 11 wird durch Gleitbewegungen auf der Haut in Drehung versetzt und gibt dabei die aus dem Substanzraum 25 übertragene Substanz 27 auf die Hautpartie ab. Anstelle des Kugelteiles 11 kann auch ein das Applikatorelement 9 bildendes walzenförmiges Teil vorgesehen sein.The applicator part 2 which can be fastened to the vibration part 3 with the aid of the connection part 7 essentially comprises an applicator element 9 in the upper housing part 8, via which a medical and / or cosmetic substance to be applied to a skin area can be applied to said skin area. By way of example, the applicator element 9 is a so-called RoII-on element in the form of a spherical part 11 which releases the substance over its surface and which is known from commercially available so-called deo-rollers. The ball part 11 is contained in a corresponding, approximately hemispherical recess 12 of the upper housing part 8. Inside the upper housing part 8 there is a substance space 25 containing the substance 27 to be applied, from which the substance is transferred to the surface of the ball part 11 when the applicator device 1 is used. The ball part 11 is rotated by sliding movements on the skin and in the process releases the substance 27 transferred from the substance space 25 to the skin area. Instead of the ball part 11, a roller-shaped part forming the applicator element 9 can also be provided.
Wie aus der Figur 3 ersichtlich, ist der Substanzraum 25 durch ein Wandteil 19 von einem Reaktionsraum 20 getrennt, in dem Kälte zum Kühlen der Substanz 27 oder Wärme zum Erwärmen der Substanz 27 beim Gebrauch der Applikatoreinrichtung 1 erzeugt wird, wie dies später näher erläutert wird. Die Substanz 27 wird in an sich bekannter Weise über die die Mulde 12 begrenzende Muldenwand 21 zum Kugelteil 11 abgegeben. Um ein Austrocknen der Substanz 27 im Bereich des Applikatorelementes 9 zu verhindern, eine Wiederverwertung zu ermöglichen und die geforderte Hygiene sowie den Schutz des Aktivators 22 sicherzustellen, ist das gesamte, vorzugsweise als Wegwerfteil ausgestaltete, Applikatorteil 2 zum Vertrieb vorzugsweise in einer feuchtigkeitsundurchlässigen Umhüllung 28 enthalten, die erst beim Gebrauch des Applikatorteiles 2 geöffnet und von diesem entfernt wird (siehe Figur 4). Die Umhüllung 28 kann außerdem zu Werbe- oder Dekorationszwecken dienen.As can be seen from FIG. 3, the substance space 25 is separated by a wall part 19 from a reaction space 20 in which cold is generated for cooling the substance 27 or heat for heating the substance 27 during use of the applicator device 1, as will be explained in more detail later , The substance 27 is discharged in a conventional manner via the trough 12 delimiting trough wall 21 to the ball portion 11. In order to prevent the substance 27 from drying out in the region of the applicator element 9, to enable recycling and to ensure the required hygiene and the protection of the activator 22, the entire applicator part 2, preferably designed as a disposable part, is preferably contained in a moisture-impermeable envelope 28 for distribution , which is opened only when using the Applikatorteiles 2 and removed from this (see Figure 4). The wrapper 28 may also serve promotional or decorative purposes.
In dem an das Wandteil 19 an der dem Substanzraum 25 abgewandten Seite angrenzenden Reaktionsraum 20 befinden sich die zur Erzeugung von Kälte oder Wärme erforderlichen Mittel. Ganz allgemein ausgedrückt handelt es sich bei diesen Mittel um einen schematisch dargestellten Aktivator 18, der in der Lage ist Kälte zum Kühlen der Substanz 27 oder Wärme zum Erwärmen derselben zu erzeugen. Beispielsweise befindet sich in der aus der DE 199 42 566 Al bekannten Weise in dem Reaktionsraum 20 als erstes Mittel zur Erzeugung von Kälte ein mit einem Gelbildner vermischtes Salzgemisch 15, das durch eine Trennwand 17 in der in der Figur 4 dargestellten Weise von einem einen Aktivator 18 enthaltendem Raum 28 getrennt ist. Der Aktivator 18 bildet ein zweites Mittel. Beispielsweise besteht der Aktivator 18 aus Wasser. Der Gelbildner kann aus Methylcellulose-Natrium bestehen. Wenn die beiden durch die Trennwand 17 voneinander getrennten Mittel 15 und 18 zusammengebracht werden, entsteht die zur Sofortkühlung der Substanz 27 an dem Wandteil 19 erforderliche Kälte.In the adjacent to the wall portion 19 on the side facing away from the substance space 25 side reaction chamber 20 are the means required for the generation of cold or heat. More generally, these means are a schematically illustrated activator 18 capable of generating refrigeration for cooling the substance 27 or heat for heating the same. For example, in the manner known from DE 199 42 566 A1, a salt mixture 15 mixed with a gelling agent is present in the reaction space 20 as the first means for generating cold, which is separated by a partition 17 in the manner shown in FIG. 4 from an activator 18 containing space 28 is separated. The activator 18 forms a second means. For example, the activator 18 is made of water. The gelling agent may consist of methylcellulose sodium. If the two separated by the partition 17 means 15 and 18 are brought together, the necessary for instantaneous cooling of the substance 27 on the wall portion 19 is formed cold.
Um die beiden Mittel 15 und 18 zusammenzubringen, wird die Trennwand 17 vorzugsweise beim Verbinden der beiden Gehäuseteile 4 und 8 mit dem Verbindungsteil 7 automatisch durchtrennt. Zu diesem Zweck ist an dem Verbindungsteil 7 bzw. am unteren Gehäuseteil 4 ein Zapfenteil 16 angeordnet, das zweckmäßigerweise mittig am Verbindungsteil 7 angeordnet ist und in Richtung auf die Trennwand 17 über das Verbindungsteil 7 vorsteht. Wenn das untere Gehäuseteil 4 mit dem oberen Gehäuseteil 8 verbunden wird, tritt das Zapfenteil 16 in der aus der Figur 4 ersichtlichen Weise in eine Vertiefung 29 einer das obere Gehäuseteil 8 und den Raum 30 zum unteren Gehäuseteil 4 hin begrenzenden Bodenwand 26 ein. Das Bodenteil 26 bzw. die Vertiefung 29 ist so flexibel ausgestaltet, dass beim Verbinden der Gehäuseteile 4 und 8 auf die Trennwand 26 ein vom Zapfenteil 16 aufgebrachter Druck einwirkt, der zum Zerbrechen der Trennwand 17 führt, sodass die beiden Mittel 15 und 18 zur Kälteerzeugung miteinender in Verbindung treten. Dies ist in der Figur 3 dargestellt.In order to bring the two means 15 and 18 together, the partition wall 17 is preferably automatically severed when connecting the two housing parts 4 and 8 with the connecting part 7. For this purpose, a pin member 16 is disposed on the connecting part 7 and the lower housing part 4, which is suitably arranged centrally on the connecting part 7 and projects in the direction of the partition wall 17 via the connecting part 7. When the lower housing part 4 is connected to the upper housing part 8, the pin member 16 enters in the manner shown in Figure 4 in a recess 29 of the upper housing part 8 and the space 30 to the lower housing part 4 towards limiting bottom wall 26 a. The bottom portion 26 and the recess 29 is designed so flexible that when connecting the housing parts 4 and 8 acts on the partition 26 a pressure applied by the pin member 16 pressure, which leads to the breakage of the partition wall 17, so that the two means 15 and 18 for cooling communicate with each other. This is shown in FIG.
Die in dem Substanzraum 25 enthaltene Substanz 27, bei der es sich vorzugsweise um eine Flüssigkeit, eine Creme oder ein Gel handelt, besitzt eine pflegende, insbesondere auch abschwellende Wirkung. Durch ihre Konsistenz erleichtert sie den Gleitvorgang des Kugelteiles 11 und optimiert somit beispielsweise eine sanfte Lymphdrainage. Insbesondere eignet sich die vorliegende Applikatoreinrichtung 1 zur hochwirksamen Pflege der Augenpartien, die beispielsweise am Morgen oder allgemein bei Müdigkeit angeschwollen sein können. Die Wirkung der pflegenden Substanz 27 wird bei der vorliegenden Applikatoreinrichtung 1 durch erzeugte Kälte oder Wärme und auch durch die auf das Applikatorteil 2 übertragenen Schwingungen verstärkt, die in dem Vibrationsteil 3 erzeugt werden. Die Applikatoreinrichtung 1 kann auch bei Kopfschmerzen, vorzugsweise am Schläfen- oder Stirnbereich, angewendet werden. Ebenso ist es denkbar, bei Erkältungskrankheiten oder Heuschnupfen Wärme von außen im Nacken- oder Kieferhöhlenbereich zu erzeugen, um insbesondere in Zusammenwirkung mit der Substanz 27 eine heilende Wirkung zu erreichen. Zur Schwingungsübertragung wird das Vibrationselement 10 bei der Verbindung der beiden Gehäuseteile 4 und 8 an das obere Gehäuseteil 8 gekoppelt. Das Verbindungsteil 7 umfasst, wie an sich bekannt, vorzugsweise eine Steck-, Schnappoder Schraubverbindung.The substance 27 contained in the substance space 25, which is preferably a liquid, a cream or a gel, has a caring, in particular also decongestant action. Its consistency facilitates the sliding action of the ball part 11 and thus optimizes, for example, a gentle lymph drainage. In particular, the present applicator device 1 is suitable for highly effective care of the eye areas, which may be swollen, for example, in the morning or generally in case of tiredness. In the present applicator device 1, the effect of the care substance 27 is intensified by generated cold or heat and also by the vibrations transmitted to the applicator part 2, which are generated in the vibration part 3. The applicator device 1 can also be used for headaches, preferably on the temporal or forehead area. Likewise, it is conceivable to produce heat from the outside in the neck or maxillary sinus area in the case of colds or hay fever in order to achieve a healing effect, in particular in cooperation with the substance 27. For vibration transmission, the vibrating element 10 is coupled in the connection of the two housing parts 4 and 8 to the upper housing part 8. The connecting part 7 comprises, as is known per se, preferably a plug-in, snap or screw connection.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist eine Ausgestaltung der Erfindung, bei der das Applikatorteil 2 die Form eines Wegwerfteiles aufweist. Dadurch können wahlweise unterschiedliche Applikatorteile 2 mit unterschiedlichen Substanzen und auch unterschiedlichen Wärme oder Kälte erzeugenden Mitteln mit ein und demselben Vibrationsteil 3 verbunden werden.An embodiment of the invention in which the applicator part 2 has the shape of a disposable part is particularly advantageous. As a result, optionally different applicator parts 2 with different substances and also different heat or cold generating means can be connected to one and the same vibration part 3.
In der in der Figur 2 durch unterbrochene Linien angedeuteten Weise kann die vorliegende Applikartoreinrichtung 1 eine Lichtquelle 31 umfassen, deren Licht auf die zu behandelnden Haut- oder Körperpartien strahlbar ist, um an diesen beispielsweise die Wundheilung, die Zellregeneration fördernde oder die stimmungsaufhellende Wirkung zu entfalten. Dabei ist die Lichtquelle 31 vorzugsweise im Verbindungsteil 7 (Figur 2) bzw. im Zapfenteil 16 (Figur 3) oder im Vibrationsteil 3 angeordnet. Das Applikatorteil 2 sowie dessen entsprechenden Teile (z. B. Bodenwand 26, Aktivator 22, Trennwand 17, Reaktionsraum 20, Wandteil 19, Muldenwand 21, Substanz 27, Mittel 15 und 18) und das Applikatorelement 9 sind dabei lichtdurchlässig ausgebildet, so dass der von der Lichtquelle 31 erzeugte Lichtstrahl 31' ungehindert durch das Applikatorteil 2 und das Applikatorelement 9 zu den zu behandelnden Haut- oder Körperpartien hindurch treten kann. Die Lichtquelle 31 kann so ausgestaltet sein, dass sie wahlweise, je nach Anwendung Licht in unterschiedlichen Farben erzeugen kann.In the manner indicated by broken lines in FIG. 2, the present applicator device 1 can comprise a light source 31 whose light can be irradiated onto the skin or body parts to be treated in order to develop, for example, wound healing, cell regeneration-promoting or mood-enhancing action , In this case, the light source 31 is preferably arranged in the connection part 7 (FIG. 2) or in the pin part 16 (FIG. 3) or in the vibration part 3. The applicator part 2 as well as its corresponding parts (eg bottom wall 26, activator 22, partition wall 17, reaction space 20, wall part 19, well wall 21, substance 27, means 15 and 18) and the applicator element 9 are light-permeable, so that the light beam 31 'generated by the light source 31 can pass unhindered through the applicator part 2 and the applicator element 9 to the skin or body parts to be treated. The light source 31 may be configured to selectively generate light of different colors depending on the application.
Es ist auch denkbar, im Gegensatz zu der Ausgestaltung gemäß den Figuren 2 bis 4 die zu applizierende Substanz gemäß Figur 5 in dem Applikatorelement 9, d. h. also in dem Kugelteil 11 oder in dem entsprechenden walzenförmigen Teil selbst vorzusehen, wobei dann das Applikatorelement 9 eine aus einem semipermeablen Material bestehende Umhüllung aufweist. Auf diese Weise kann die Substanz beim Gebrauch der Applikatoreinrichtung 1 den auf das Applikatorelement 2 ausgeübten leichten Druck auf die Haut- oder Körperpartien übertragen werden. Dabei kann die Oberfläche der genannten Umhüllung je nach Anwendung amorph oder zur Durchblutungsförderung mit Noppen ausgestaltet sein. Bezugszeichen:It is also conceivable, in contrast to the embodiment according to FIGS. 2 to 4, to provide the substance to be applied according to FIG. 5 in the applicator element 9, ie in the ball part 11 or in the corresponding roller-shaped part itself, in which case the applicator element 9 is one Having a semipermeable material existing enclosure. In this way, the substance during use of the applicator 1 can be transmitted to the applied to the applicator element 2 slight pressure on the skin or body parts. Depending on the application, the surface of said casing may be designed to be amorphous or to promote blood circulation with nubs. Reference numerals:
