Description

HÜLSE ZUM ZUMINDEST TEILWEISEN AUFNEHMEN EINES APPLIKATORS FÜR SLEEVE FOR AT LEAST PARTLY RECORDING AN APPLICATOR FOR
KOSMETISCHE PRODUKTECOSMETIC PRODUCTS
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Hülse zum zumindest teilweisen Aufnehmen eines Apphkators für kosmetische Produkte, mit einer Halterung zum Halten des Apphkators in der Hülse und einem einen Aufnahmeraum für den Applikator zumindest teilweise begrenzenden Hülsenmantel.The invention relates to a sleeve for at least partially receiving an applicator for cosmetic products, with a holder for holding the applicator in the sleeve and a sleeve jacket at least partially delimiting a receiving space for the applicator.
Hülsen der eingangs genannten Art sind bekannt. Bei bekannten Hülsen besteht insbesondere im Falle ihrer Verwendung für hochviskose kosmetische Produkte das Problem, daß das kosmetische Produkt mangels Fluidizität nicht der Schwerkraft folgt, so daß auch ein Kippen oder Schwenken nicht zu einer entsprechenden Beladung des Arbeitsbereichs des Apphkators führt. Daher muß häufig die Hülse mitsamt dem Applikator fortgeworfen werden, obwohl sich noch Kosmetikprodukt darin befindet. Aus der US-A-5,951 ,186 ist eine Hülse mit einer Halterung bekannt, die bezüglich der Hülse axialverschieblich ist. Die US-A-5, 002,415 zeigt eine einen Applikator aufnehmende Hülse mit einem Balg. Eine Halterung mit Gewinde ist aus der DE 197 44 181 A1 bekannt.Sleeves of the type mentioned are known. In the case of known sleeves, especially when they are used for highly viscous cosmetic products, there is the problem that the cosmetic product does not follow gravity due to the lack of fluidity, so that tilting or swiveling does not lead to a corresponding loading of the working area of the apparatus. Therefore, the sleeve together with the applicator often has to be thrown away, although there is still a cosmetic product in it. From US-A-5,951, 186 a sleeve with a holder is known which is axially displaceable with respect to the sleeve. US-A-5, 002,415 shows an applicator-receiving sleeve with a bellows. A holder with a thread is known from DE 197 44 181 A1.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, die Hülse der eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzubilden, daß auch im Falle eines vergleichsweise hochviskosen Kosmetikprodukts eine bessere Ausbeute erzielt wird.It is an object of the invention to develop the sleeve of the type mentioned in the introduction in such a way that a better yield is achieved even in the case of a comparatively highly viscous cosmetic product.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die gestellte Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß die Relativlage derAccording to the invention the object is achieved in that the relative position of the
Halterung zu dem Hülsenmantel verstellbar ist, vorzugsweise mit einer Komponente in Richtung quer zu einer Längsachse der Hülse, weiter bevorzugt im Sinne eines Verschwenkens.Bracket to the sleeve jacket is adjustable, preferably with a component in the direction transverse to a longitudinal axis of the sleeve, more preferably in the sense of pivoting.
Dabei liegt der Erfindung die Erkenntnis zugrunde, daß sich mit der Relativlage derThe invention is based on the knowledge that the relative position of the
Halterung zu dem Hülsenmantel auch die Relativlage eines Arbeitsbereichs an dem Applikator zu dem Hülsenmantel ändern wird, so daß quasi der Arbeitsbereich des Apphkators auf das hochviskose und daher unter Umständen nicht fließfähige Kosmetikprodukt zu bewegt bzw. in das Produkt hineinbewegt werden kann, um Kosmetikprodukt zu entneh- men, wodurch insgesamt die Ausbeute verbessert wird.Bracket to the sleeve jacket will also change the relative position of a work area on the applicator to the sleeve jacket, so that the work area of the applicator can be moved towards the highly viscous and therefore possibly non-flowable cosmetic product or moved into the product to remove the cosmetic product - Men, which improves the overall yield.
Nach einer als besonders einfach bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist eine verformbare Verbindungseinrichtung zwischen der Halterung und dem Hülsenmantel vorgesehen. Dabei geht eine Verformung der Verbindungseinrichtung einher mit einer Verstellung der Relativlage der Halterung zu dem Hülsenmantel, was letztlich in einer Relativbewegung des Arbeitsbereichs des Apphkators bezüglich dem Kosmetikprodukt resultiert. Damit können auf einfache Weise Kosmetikproduktreste entnommen werden.According to a particularly simple preferred embodiment of the invention, a deformable connecting device is provided between the holder and the sleeve jacket. A deformation of the connecting device is accompanied by an adjustment of the relative position of the holder to the sleeve jacket, which ultimately results in a relative movement of the working area of the applicator with respect to the cosmetic product. This makes it easy to remove cosmetic product residues.
Bevorzugt weist die Verbindungseinrichtung einen Balg auf. Bei dieser Lösung handelt es sich wiederum um eine besonders einfach aufgebaute Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Hülse. Der Balg kann dabei 1 , 2 oder mehr Einbuchtungen und/oder 1 , 2 oder mehr Ausbuchtungen aufweisen, wobei die diesbezügliche Entscheidung einerseits von den gegebenen Geometrien und andererseits von dem angestrebten Erscheinungsbild der Hülse abhängt.The connecting device preferably has a bellows. This solution is in turn a particularly simple design of the sleeve according to the invention. The bellows can have 1, 2 or more indentations and / or 1, 2 or more indentations, the decision in this regard depending on the one hand on the given geometries and on the other hand on the desired appearance of the sleeve.
Die Verbindungseinrichtung kann eine im Schnitt bogenförmige oder eckige Kontur haben. Die diesbezügliche Entscheidung wird wiederum insbesondere unter Design- Aspekten gefällt werden.The connecting device can have an arcuate or angular contour in section. The decision in this regard will again be made in particular from a design point of view.
Die Verbindungseinrichtung kann erfindungsgemäß bevorzugt einen elastomerenAccording to the invention, the connecting device can preferably be an elastomer
Werkstoff aufweisen. Dies gilt nicht nur für die Lösung mit dem Balg. Vielmehr kann erfindungsgemäß die genannte Elastizität die Ursache für die Verstellbarkeit der Relativlage der Halterung zu dem Hülsenmantel sein.Have material. This does not only apply to the solution with the bellows. Rather, according to the invention, the elasticity mentioned can be the cause of the adjustability of the position of the holder relative to the sleeve jacket.
Eine weiter bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht eine Abdeckeinrichtung zum zumindest teilweisen Abdecken der Verbindungseinrichtung vor. Eine solche Abdeckeinrichtung kann insbesondere aus zweierlei Gründen vorgesehen sein. Zum einen zum Verbergen der Verbindungseinrichtung, falls eine Sichtbarkeit der Verbindungseinrichtung aus ästhetischen Gründen nicht gewünscht ist. Zum anderen kann die Abdeckeinrichtung aber auch beispielsweise durch Farbgebung eine Information über die Farbe des Kosmetikprodukts darstellen.A further preferred embodiment of the invention provides a covering device for at least partially covering the connecting device. Such a covering device can be provided in particular for two reasons. On the one hand to hide the connecting device, if visibility of the connecting device is not desired for aesthetic reasons. On the other hand, the covering device can also represent information about the color of the cosmetic product, for example by coloring.
Die Hülse kann prinzipiell beliebige Form haben. Erfindungsgemäß bevorzugt ist sie zylindrisch oder bauchig. Insbesondere können angesichts der Erfindung auch solche Hülsen verwendet werden, die im Bereich der Aufnahme des Kosmetikprodukts einen bauchigen Innenraum haben, weil ja das Kosmetikprodukt auch dann, wenn es viskos ist, aus dem durch die Bauchigkeit vergrößerten Innenraum aufgenommen werden kann.In principle, the sleeve can have any shape. According to the invention, it is preferably cylindrical or bulbous. In particular, in view of the invention, such sleeves can also be used which have a bulbous interior in the area of the reception of the cosmetic product, because the cosmetic product can also be taken up from the interior, which is enlarged due to the bulge, even if it is viscous.
Die Halterung weist erfindungsgemäß bevorzugt ein Gewinde auf. Diese Lösung ist insbesondere dann von Vorteil, wenn der Applikator abnehmbar, dennoch aber dichtend an der Hülse zu halten ist. Für die Hülse sind die verschiedensten Werkstoffe geeignet. Bevorzugt ist sie aus thermoplastischem Werkstoff, insbesondere Polyethylen, Polypropylen, PVC, Polyamid, Polyester, PET und ABS.According to the invention, the holder preferably has a thread. This solution is particularly advantageous if the applicator can be removed from the sleeve while still being sealed. Various materials are suitable for the sleeve. It is preferably made of thermoplastic material, in particular polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC, polyamide, polyester, PET and ABS.
Insbesondere bei der Verwendung von Kunststoffen ist die Hülse bevorzugt durchIn particular when using plastics, the sleeve is preferably through
Blasformen oder durch Spritz-Blasformen hergestellt. Dadurch sind die Herstellungskosten besonders niedrig.Blow molding or manufactured by injection blow molding. As a result, the manufacturing costs are particularly low.
Im folgenden ist die Erfindung anhand bevorzugter Ausführungsbeispiele unter Bezugnahme auf die beiliegende Zeichnung mit weiteren Einzelheiten näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of preferred exemplary embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawing.

Figur 1 zeigt eine erste Hülse 10 mit einem Hülsenmantel 12 und einemFigure 1 shows a first sleeve 10 with a sleeve jacket 12 and
Haltebereich 14, an dem ein Außengewinde 16 ausgebildet ist. Zwischen dem Haltebereich 14 und dem Hülsenmantel 12 liegt ein Balg 18 mit vier Ausbuchtungen, die im Schnitt jeweils eckige Kontur haben und von denen eine beispielhaft mit der Bezugszahl 20 bezeichnet ist. Der Balg 18 ist von einem flexiblen Schrumpfschlauch 22 umgeben, der in der Farbgebung dem in die erste Hülse einzufüllenden Kosmetikprodukt entspricht, also bei schwarzer Wimperntusche beispielsweise schwarz.Holding area 14, on which an external thread 16 is formed. Between the holding area 14 and the sleeve casing 12 there is a bellows 18 with four bulges, each of which has an angular contour on average and one of which is identified by reference number 20. The bellows 18 is surrounded by a flexible shrink tube 22 which corresponds in color to the cosmetic product to be filled into the first sleeve, for example black in the case of black mascara.
Ein Applikator 24 aus POM mit einem Arbeitsbereich 26 in Form einer Bürste an seinem freien Ende ist in einem Haltebereich 28 einer zweiten Hülse 30 gehalten. Ein Hülsenmantel 32 der zweiten Hülse 30 trägt ein Innengewinde 34, das zu dem Außengewinde 16 der ersten Hülse paßt. Der Hülsenmantel 32 umläuft einen Aufnahmeraum 36 für den Applikator 24. Anstelle der Bürste kann auch beflockter Schaumstoff oder ein Pinsel vorgesehen sein. In gleicher Weise umläuft der Hülsenmantel 12 einen Aufnahmeraum 38, der im übrigen von einem Boden 40 der ersten Hülse 10 begrenzt wird. Der Aufnahmeraum 38 dient gleichzeitig als Reservoir für ein in der Zeichnung nicht dargestelltes Kosmetikprodukt vergleichsweise hoher Viskosität.An applicator 24 made of POM with a working area 26 in the form of a brush at its free end is held in a holding area 28 of a second sleeve 30. A sleeve jacket 32 of the second sleeve 30 carries an internal thread 34 which mates with the external thread 16 of the first sleeve. The sleeve jacket 32 runs around a receiving space 36 for the applicator 24. Instead of the brush, flocked foam or a brush can also be provided. In the same way, the sleeve jacket 12 runs around a receiving space 38 which is otherwise delimited by a bottom 40 of the first sleeve 10. The receiving space 38 also serves as a reservoir for a relatively high viscosity cosmetic product, not shown in the drawing.
Wird der Applikator 24 in die erste Hülse eingeschoben und werden daraufhin die Gewinde 16 und 34 miteinander verschraubt, so kommt der Arbeitsbereich 26 des Apphkators 24 im bodennahen Bereich der ersten Hülse 10 zu liegen. Dabei dient der Haltebereich 14 zum Halten des Apphkators 24. Wird in dieser Betriebsstellung der Haltebereich 28 der zweiten Hülse 30 und damit der Haltebereich 14 der ersten Hülse 10 bezüglich dem Hülsenmantel 12 der ersten Hülse 10 in Figur 1 nach links (und damit quer zu einer Längsachse 44 der Hülse 12) verschwenkt, was wegen der Flexibilität des Balges 18 ohne weiteres möglich ist, so nähert sich der Arbeitsbereich 26 dem Hülsenmantel 12 der ersten Hülse 10 in Figur 1 rechts an und kann so Kosmetikprodukt aufnehmen, das sich nahe der Innenwand des Hülsenmantels 12 befindet. Dadurch kann Kosmetikmaterial, das sich in Figur 1 in der rechten unteren Ecke des Hülsenmantels 12 befindet, mit dem Arbeitsbereich 26 des Apphkators 24 aufgenommen werden. Das gleiche gilt natürlich auch für andere Bereiche des Innenraums 38 des Hülsenmantels 12.If the applicator 24 is pushed into the first sleeve and then the threads 16 and 34 are screwed together, the working area 26 of the applicator 24 comes to rest in the area of the first sleeve 10 near the floor. In this case, the holding area 14 serves to hold the applicator 24. If in this operating position the holding area 28 of the second sleeve 30 and thus the holding area 14 of the first sleeve 10 with respect to the sleeve jacket 12 of the first sleeve 10 to the left in FIG Longitudinal axis 44 of the sleeve 12) pivoted, which is easily possible because of the flexibility of the bellows 18, the work area 26 approaches the sleeve jacket 12 of the first sleeve 10 in Figure 1 on the right and can thus accommodate cosmetic product that is close to the inner wall of the Sleeve casing 12 is located. As a result, cosmetic material, which is located in the lower right corner of the sleeve shell 12 in FIG. 1, can be accommodated with the working area 26 of the appliance 24. The same naturally also applies to other areas of the interior 38 of the sleeve shell 12.
Im Vergleich mit einer starren Verbindung des Haltebereichs 14 mit demCompared to a rigid connection of the holding area 14 with the
Hülsenmantel 12 kann also erheblich mehr Kosmetikprodukt mit dem Arbeitsbereich 26 des Apphkators 24 aus dem Innenraum 38 des Hülsenmantels 12 aufgenommen werden, wodurch die Ausbeute erheblich verbessert ist.The sleeve jacket 12 can thus accommodate significantly more cosmetic product with the working area 26 of the applicator 24 from the interior 38 of the sleeve jacket 12, whereby the yield is considerably improved.
Die Hülse 10' nach Figur 2 unterscheidet sich von der ersten Hülse 10 nach Figur 1 nur darin, daß der Balg 18 durch eine Ringscheibe 42 aus elastomerem Material, wie beispielsweise Gummi, ersetzt ist. Die Ringscheibe ist mit dem Hülsenmantel 12 und dem Haltebereich 14 verklebt oder verschmolzen. Dadurch kann - genau wie bei der Lösung nach Figur 1 - der Haltebereich 14 bezüglich des Hülsenmantels 10 in der Ansicht nach Figur 2 nach links verschwenkt werden, wodurch sich der linke Teil der Ringscheibe 42 staucht, wohingegen der rechte Teil gestreckt wird. Dadurch gelangt im Ergebnis ein sich in der ersten Hülse 10' befindender Arbeitsbereich 26 eines Apphkators 24 in die rechte untere Ecke des Hülsenmantels 12 und kann dort Kosmetikprodukt aufnehmen, selbst wenn dieses Produkt hochviskos sein sollte.The sleeve 10 'according to FIG. 2 differs from the first sleeve 10 according to FIG. 1 only in that the bellows 18 is replaced by an annular disk 42 made of elastomeric material, such as rubber. The annular disc is glued or fused to the sleeve jacket 12 and the holding area 14. As a result, just as in the solution according to FIG. 1, the holding region 14 can be pivoted to the left with respect to the sleeve shell 10 in the view according to FIG. As a result, a working area 26 of an applicator 24 located in the first sleeve 10 'reaches the lower right Corner of the sleeve shell 12 and can accommodate cosmetic product there, even if this product should be highly viscous.
Wenngleich dies in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt ist, gibt es für den Schrumpf- schlauch 22 weitere Alternativen.Although this is not shown in the drawing, there are further alternatives for the shrink tube 22.
Beispielsweise kann anstelle des Schrumpfschlauches ein Ring aus einem weichen und elastischem Kunststoff verwendet werden, der gespritzt oder extrudiert ist und vor der Befüllung mit dem Kosmetikprodukt zunächst über ein Montagerohr und dann über den Haltebereich 14 geschoben wird.For example, instead of the shrink tube, a ring made of a soft and elastic plastic can be used, which is injection molded or extruded and, before being filled with the cosmetic product, is first pushed over a mounting tube and then over the holding area 14.
Es kann stattdessen auch ein Ring in einem zusätzlichen Spritz- oder Gießvorgang auf den Balg 18 drucklos aufgebracht werden. Hierbei - wie bei allen anderen Lösungen auch - wird beispielsweise ein weicher, flexibler Kunststoff, wie etwa Silikon verwendet.Instead, a ring can also be applied to the bellows 18 without pressure in an additional injection or casting process. As with all other solutions, a soft, flexible plastic such as silicone is used, for example.
Schließlich kann anstelle des Schrumpfschlauches 22 auch ein geschlitzter Ring oder ein offenes Kreissegment mit sich überlappenden Enden aus einem thermoplastischen Material verwendet werden.Finally, a slotted ring or an open circular segment with overlapping ends made of a thermoplastic material can also be used instead of the shrink tube 22.
Als Material für die gezeigten Hülsenmäntel 12 und 32, die Haltebereiche 14 und 28 sowie den Balg 18 kommen Thermoplaste in Betracht, insbesondere PET, PVC, Nylon, Polyamid und Polyester. Das gleiche gilt für den Applikator 24. Insbesondere die erste Hülse 10 ist einschließlich des Balges 18 und des Haltebereiches 14 am einfachsten im Wege des Blasformens herzustellen.Thermoplastic, in particular PET, PVC, nylon, polyamide and polyester, are suitable as the material for the sleeve sheaths 12 and 32 shown, the holding areas 14 and 28 and the bellows 18. The same applies to the applicator 24. In particular, the first sleeve 10, including the bellows 18 and the holding area 14, is easiest to manufacture by blow molding.
Die beiden ersten Hülsen 10 und 10' sind in der Zeichnung zylindrisch dargestellt. Angesichts der Erfindung, insbesondere des Balges 18 bzw. der Ringscheibe 42 können sie aber auch bauchig oder konisch ausgeführt sein, ohne daß die Ausbeute verschlechtert wäre.The first two sleeves 10 and 10 'are shown cylindrically in the drawing. In view of the invention, in particular the bellows 18 or the annular disk 42, they can also be of bulbous or conical design without the yield being impaired.
Die in der obigen Beschreibung, den Ansprüchen sowie der Zeichnung offenbarten Merkmale der Erfindung können sowohl einzeln als auch in beliebigen Kombinationen für die Verwirklichung der Erfindung in ihren verschiedenen Ausführungsformen wesentlich sein. The features of the invention disclosed in the above description, the claims and the drawing can be used both individually and in any combination for the implementation of the invention in its various embodiments may be essential.
