Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gerät zum Auftragen von fließfähiger Wimperntusche (Maskara-Stift) mit den Merkmalen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a device for applying flowable mascara (mascara) with the features according to the preamble of claim 1.

Geräte zum Auftragen von Tusche auf die Augenwimpern zu Kosmetikzwecken, sog. Maskara-Stifte, sind bekannt. Sie weisen einen Applikator auf, der unterschiedliche Gestaltung haben kann, jedoch in jedem Fall so ausgebildet ist, daß durch die profilierte Auftragfläche des Applikators die Augenwimpern beim Auftragvorgang umgriffen werden und so zunächst vereinzelt,gekämmt und außerdem rundum eingefärbt werden können. So ist in einer bekannten Ausführungsform der Applikator als Bürste aufgebaut, deren Borsten spiralig angeordnet sind. Weiterhin sind auch bereits Applikatoren in Form eines Auftragkissens aus porösem flexiblem Kunststoffschaum (DE-A 34 34 405) sowie aus einem relativ festen Werkstoff mit einem Rippenprofil (US-A 33 63 635) bekannt.Devices for applying ink to the eyelashes for cosmetic purposes, so-called mascara sticks, are known. They have an applicator, which can have different designs, but in any case is designed so that the eyelashes are encompassed during the application process by the profiled application surface of the applicator and can thus be isolated, combed and also colored all around. In a known embodiment, the applicator is constructed as a brush, the bristles of which are arranged spirally. Furthermore, applicators in the form of an application pad made of porous flexible plastic foam (DE-A 34 34 405) and of a relatively solid material with a rib profile (US-A 33 63 635) are also known.

Ein allgemein bemängelter Nachteil der bekannten Maskara-Stifte besteht darin, daß sich beim Aufnehmen der Wimperntusche - in der Regel eine Paste oder sehr viskose Flüssigkeit - durch Eintauchen des Applikators in einen Tuschevorrat zwischen den Borsten, auf dem Auftragkissen oder zwischen den Rippen des Rippenprofils eine zu grosse Tuschemenge ansammelt. Das hat zur Folge, daß am Anfang zuviel Tusche auf die Wimpern aufgetragen wird, d.h. der Auftragvorgang ungleichmässig ist. Eine gleichmässige Verteilung der Wimperntusche auf den Wimpern ist daher nur mit grosser Sorgfalt möglich.A generally criticized disadvantage of the known mascara sticks is that when the mascara is taken up - usually a paste or very viscous liquid - by immersing the applicator in an ink supply between the bristles, on the application pad or between the ribs of the rib profile too much ink accumulates. As a result, in the beginning too much ink is applied to the eyelashes, ie the application process is uneven. An even distribution of the mascara on the eyelashes is therefore only possible with great care.

Um diesen Nachteil zu beheben, sind auch schon Maskara-Stifte der vorstehend angegebenen Art vorgeschlagen worden, bei denen die Wimperntusche in einem Reservoir des Geräts aufgenommen ist und über einen Verbindungskanal dem Inneren des Applikators zugeführt wird (DE-A 36 15 593). Durch Aufbringen von Druck mittels eines im Gerät untergebrachten Kolbens kann eine vorbestimmte Tuschemenge durch zur Auftragfläche hin mündende Öffnungen des Applikators ausgedrückt werden, wodurch die Profilierung der Auftragfläche benetzt wird. Der Kolbenhub ist so bemessen bzw. einstellbar, daß nur die für den jeweiligen Gebrauch erforderliche Tuschemenge auf die Auftragfläche gelangt und dadurch ein übermässiger Auftrag sowie ein im Laufe der Zeit eintretendes Verschmieren des Geräts vermieden werden. Diese bekannten Maskara-Stifte sind jedoch infolge der geschilderten Vorrichtung zur Zuführung und Dosierung der Wimperntusche sehr aufwendig und daher relativ teuer.In order to remedy this disadvantage, maskara sticks of the type specified above have also been proposed, in which the mascara is accommodated in a reservoir of the device and is supplied to the interior of the applicator via a connecting channel (DE-A 36 15 593). By applying pressure by means of a piston accommodated in the device, a predetermined amount of ink can be expressed through openings of the applicator opening towards the application surface, whereby the profiling of the application surface is wetted. The piston stroke is dimensioned or adjustable in such a way that only the amount of ink required for the respective use reaches the application surface, thereby avoiding excessive application and smearing of the device which occurs over time. However, these known mascara pens are very complex and therefore relatively expensive due to the device for feeding and metering the mascara.

Auf dem Kosmetikgebiet sind auch bereits allgemein Geräte zum Auftragen von Schminkflüssigkeit, nicht jedoch Maskara-Stifte, bekannt, deren Applikator eine Auftragspitze aus einem kapillar fördernden Material aufweist (DE-A 27 05 576, US-P 33 99 020, US-A 36 05 764). Die Applikatoren dieser bekannten Geräte dienen dazu, die Schminkflüssigkeit weitgehend flächig aufzutragen und weisen zu diesem Zweck eine verjüngt oder sogar - bei Lidstrichzeichnern (Ink-liner) - spitz auslaufende Auftragfläche auf. Bei solchen Applikatoren aus einem kapillar fördernden Material wird die Fähigkeit des Materials ausgenützt, Flüssigkeit durch Kapillarwirkung in Längsrichtung des Applikators zur Auftragfläche bzw. Auftragspitze zu fördern.Devices for applying make-up liquid, but not maskara sticks, are also generally known in the cosmetics field, the applicator of which has an application tip made of a capillary-promoting material (DE-A 27 05 576, US-P 33 99 020, US-A 36 05 764). The applicators of these known devices serve to apply the make-up liquid largely over a large area and for this purpose have a tapered or even - in the case of eyeliner drawers (ink liner) - tapered application area. In the case of such applicators made of a capillary-promoting material, the ability of the material to utilize liquid by capillary action in the longitudinal direction of the applicator towards the application surface or To promote peak orders.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein Gerät zum Auftragen von Wimperntusche vorzuschlagen, das bei erheblich einfacherem Aufbau und daher niedrigem Preis eine einwandfreie Zuführung und Dosierung der Wimperntusche zur Auftragfläche ermöglicht.The object of the present invention is to propose a device for applying mascara which, with a considerably simpler construction and therefore a low price, enables the mascara to be fed and dosed correctly to the application area.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe gelöst durch die Ausgestaltung nach dem Kennzeichen des Anspruches 1.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the configuration according to the characterizing part of claim 1.

Infolge der Verwendung eines Flüssigkeit durch Kapillarwirkung fördernden Materials für zumindest den die Auftragfläche des Applikators bildenden Teil, welcher mit der im Reservoir befindlichen flüssigen Wimperntusche in Verbindung steht, ist gewährleistet, daß jeweils nur diejenige Menge an Wimperntusche zur Auftragfläche durch Kapillarwirkung nachgefördert wird, die durch den Auftragvorgang jeweils entnommen wird. Der Nachschub an Wimperntusche zur Auftragfläche ist somit selbstregelnd, so daß ein zu einem übermässigen Auftrag führender Überschuß nicht auftreten kann. Die auf die Augenwimpern aufzutragende Menge an Wimperntusche kann durch die Anzahl der Auftrag- oder Auskämmvorgänge bestimmt werden. Aufgrund der selbsttätigen Regelung der richtigen Zufuhrmenge an Wimperntusche bedarf es keinerlei weiterer konstruktiver Maßnahmen, um eine jeweils richtig dosierte Menge zur Auftragfläche zu fördern. Der Applikator kann deshalb ständig mit der in dem Reservoir aufgenommenen Flüssigkeitsmenge in Verbindung stehen, ohne daß ein Auslaufen oder Verschmieren zu befürchten ist. Zweckmässigerweise besteht der ganze Applikator aus dem kapillar fördernden Material und ragt mit einem Verbindungsteil in das Reservoir hinein.Due to the use of a liquid by capillary action promoting material for at least the part forming the application surface of the applicator, which is connected to the liquid mascara in the reservoir, it is ensured that only that amount of mascara is added to the application surface by capillary action that by the application process is removed. The replenishment of mascara to the application area is therefore self-regulating, so that an excess leading to an excessive order cannot occur. The amount of mascara to be applied to the eyelashes can be determined by the number of application or combing operations. Due to the automatic regulation of the correct amount of mascara, no further constructive measures are required in order to deliver a correctly metered amount to the application area. The applicator can therefore be in constant communication with the amount of liquid received in the reservoir without fear of leakage or smearing. The entire applicator expediently consists of the capillary-conveying material and projects into the reservoir with a connecting part.

Insbesondere bei einem kapillar fördernden Material, das aus zueinander parallel verlaufenden Fasern besteht, ist der Fördereffekt für Flüssigkeit in Faserlängsrichtung sehr ausgeprägt, während er quer zur Faserlängsrichtung nur gering ist. In Fachkreisen ist es daher bekannt, daß Querschnittsunterbrechungen in einem derartigen Material die Fähigkeit zur Flüssigkeitsförderung herabsetzen und daher vermieden werden müssen. Das mag ein Grund dafür sein, daß kapillar förderndes Material bisher zwar für kosmetische Schminkgeräte vorgeschlagen worden ist, deren Applikator eine geschlossene Auftragfläche oder Auftragspitze aufweist, jedoch nie für Maskara-Stifte eingesetzt wurde, deren Auftragfläche am Umfang eines im wesentlichen stift- oder zylinderförmigen Applikators angeordnet und durch eine kräftige Profilierung unterbrochen ist.In particular in the case of a capillary-conveying material which consists of fibers running parallel to one another, the conveying effect for liquid in the longitudinal direction of the fiber is very pronounced, whereas it is only slight across the longitudinal direction of the fiber. It is therefore known in the art that cross-sectional interruptions in such a material reduce the ability to convey liquid and must therefore be avoided. This may be one reason why capillary-promoting material has so far been proposed for cosmetic make-up devices, the applicator of which has a closed application surface or application tip, but has never been used for mascara pens, the application surface of which is essentially a pen-shaped or cylindrical applicator arranged and interrupted by a strong profile.

Bei dem erfindungsgemässen Gerät wird nun gerade der durch die Unterbrechungen der Auftragfläche in Form von Ringrippen geminderte Fördereffekt quer zur Längsrichtung des Applikators ausgenützt, um die Hohlräume des Rippenprofils nicht übermässig mit Wimperntusche anzufüllen und dadurch den obengenannten Selbstregelungseffekt zu erhalten.In the device according to the invention, the conveying effect transverse to the longitudinal direction of the applicator, which is reduced by the interruptions of the application area in the form of ring ribs, is now used in order not to overly fill the cavities of the rib profile with mascara and thereby to obtain the self-regulation effect mentioned above.

Das kapillar fördernde Material kann ein gerichtetes Fasermaterial oder ein porös gesintertes Kunststoffmaterial sein. Um eine einwandfreie Kapillarförderung zu ermöglichen, muß die Kosmetiktusche hinreichend fließfähig oder flüssig sein. In Frage kommen Pigmentdispersionen mit feinstkörnigen Pigmenten, wie sie bereits für Lidstrich-Geräte (Ink-Liner) bekannt und in Verwendung sind. Diese Dispersionen werden durch das Kapillarmaterial in der oben geschilderten Weise gefördert.The capillary-promoting material can be a directional fiber material or a porous sintered plastic material. To enable perfect capillary delivery, the cosmetic ink must be sufficient be fluid or liquid. Pigment dispersions with very fine-grain pigments, as are already known and used in eyeliner devices (ink liners), are suitable. These dispersions are conveyed through the capillary material in the manner described above.

Durch Art und Auswahl der an sich bekannten faserförmigen oder gesinterten Kapillarmaterialien lässt sich die Förderintensität bestimmen. Falls die Kosmetiktusche in dem Reservoir des Geräts freifließend aufgenommen ist, kann eine geringere Kapillarität des Materials angezeigt sein. Die Kosmetiktusche kann aber ihrerseits in einem dochtförmigen Speicherelement als Reservoir aufgenommen sein. In diesem Fall muß die Kapillarität oder kapillare Saugwirkung des Applikators die kapillare Haltewirkung des Speicherelements übertreffen und wird daher in der Regel verhältnismässig stark ausgeprägt sein.The delivery intensity can be determined by the type and selection of the known fibrous or sintered capillary materials. If the cosmetic ink is received in the reservoir of the device in a free-flowing manner, less capillarity of the material may be indicated. The cosmetic ink can in turn be accommodated in a wick-shaped storage element as a reservoir. In this case, the capillarity or capillary suction effect of the applicator must exceed the capillary holding effect of the storage element and, as a rule, will therefore be relatively strong.

Das an sich bekannte kapillar fördernde Material, das erfindungsgemäß für den Applikator eingesetzt wird, erlaubt die Ausbildung aller bekannten Profilierungen, welche für den Einsatzzweck bekannt und geeignet sind. So kann bei Ausbildung des erfindungsgemässen Auftraggeräts als Maskarastift die Profilierung des Applikators in Form von Ringrippen gestaltet sein, die im Achsschnitt sägezahnförmig sind und um den im übrigen zylindrischen Umfang des Applikators verlaufen. Auch eine ggf. im Achsschnitt sägezahnförmige schraubenförmige Rippe kann vorgesehen sein. Die Rippen können auch je nach Bedarf unterbrochen oder nur an einer Längsseite des Applikators vorgesehen sein.The capillary-promoting material which is known per se and which is used according to the invention for the applicator permits the formation of all known profiles which are known and suitable for the intended use. Thus, when the application device according to the invention is designed as a mascara pin, the profile of the applicator can be designed in the form of ring ribs which are sawtooth-shaped in the axial section and run around the rest of the cylindrical circumference of the applicator. An optionally sawtooth-shaped helical rib can also be provided. The ribs can also be interrupted as required or provided only on one long side of the applicator.

Die Profilierung des Applikators kann z.B. durch Schleifen mit entsprechend profilierten Scheiben hergestellt werden. Bei gesintertem Kunststoffmaterial ist auch eine Herstellung der Profilierung schon beim Sinter- oder Formvorgang des Applikators denkbar.The applicator can be profiled, for example, by grinding with appropriately profiled discs. In the case of sintered plastic material, it is also conceivable to produce the profiling during the sintering or molding process of the applicator.

Der Applikator kann anstelle einer im wesentlichen zylindrischen Gestalt auch kegelförmig oder mit einer Wölbung nach außen verjüngt sein. Ein an seinem freien Ende zu einer Spitze auslaufender Applikator, insbesondere wenn er im übrigen sich über seine ganze Länge verjüngt und dabei eine leichte tonnenförmige Wölbung nach außen aufweist, lässt sich mit besonderem Vorteil zugleich als Maskarastift und als Ink-Liner verwenden. Auf diese Weise erfüllt das erfindungsgemässe Gerät zwei Zweckbestimmungen im einem.Instead of an essentially cylindrical shape, the applicator can also be conical or tapered outwards with a curvature. An applicator tapering to a tip at its free end, particularly if it otherwise tapers over its entire length and has a slight barrel-shaped curvature towards the outside, can be used with particular advantage at the same time as a mascara pencil and as an ink liner. In this way, the device according to the invention fulfills two purposes in one.

Das in Fig. 1 dargestellte Gerät nach der Erfindung weist einen rohrförmigen Schaft 1 aus Kunststoff auf, der in seinem Inneren ein Reservoir 2 für Kosmetiktusche bildet. Der Schaft 1 ist an seinem vorderen Ende durch einen Dichtkörper 3 verschlossen, durch den hindurch ein Verbindungsteil 4 eines im Ganzen mit 5 bezeichneten Applikators geführt und abgedichtet gehalten ist. Das Reservoir 2 kann ein dochtförmiges Vlies- oder Fasermaterial sein, welches die Kosmetiktusche in kapillar gebundener Form aufnimmt. Auf das vordere Ende des Schaftes 1 ist eine den Applikator 5 über deckende Kunststoffkappe 6 aufgesteckt.The device shown in Fig. 1 according to the invention has a tubular shaft 1 made of plastic, which forms a reservoir 2 for cosmetic ink in its interior. The shaft 1 is closed at its front end by a sealing body 3, through which a connecting part 4 of an applicator, designated as a whole by 5, is guided and kept sealed. The reservoir 2 can be a wick-shaped non-woven or fiber material which receives the cosmetic ink in a capillary-bound form. On the front end of the shaft 1 is the applicator 5 covering plastic cap 6 attached.

Der Applikator 5 setzt sich aus dem erwähnten Verbindungsteil 4 sowie einem Teil 7 zusammen, der eine Auftragfläche mit einer Profilierung 8 bildet und in dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel in seinem Endteil 9 konisch zu einer Spitze ausläuft. In dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel besteht der Applikator 5 vollständig aus einem kapillar fördernden Fasermaterial oder einem porös gesinterten Kunststoff, z.B. Polyäthylen oder Polypropylen. Ein derartiges Material ist z.B. aus Polypropylenpulver mit einer durchschnittlichen Teilchengrösse von 25 bis 50 µ, vorzugsweise von 30 bis 40 µ, erzeugt, wobei das Polypropylenpulver bei einer Temperatur von etwa 150 bis 160°C gerade unterhalb des Schmelzbereiches des Polypropylens gepresst und dadurch gesintert wird. Hierdurch entstehen kapillar wirksame Poren oder Kanäle mit einer Breite in der Grössenordnung von l0 bis 60 µ.The applicator 5 is composed of the mentioned connecting part 4 and a part 7, which forms an application surface with a profile 8 and, in the exemplary embodiment shown, tapers conically in its end part 9 to a tip. In the embodiment shown, the applicator 5 consists entirely of a capillary-promoting fiber material or a porous sintered plastic, e.g. Polyethylene or polypropylene. Such a material is e.g. produced from polypropylene powder with an average particle size of 25 to 50 μ, preferably 30 to 40 μ, the polypropylene powder being pressed at a temperature of approximately 150 to 160 ° C. just below the melting range of the polypropylene and thereby being sintered. This creates capillary-acting pores or channels with a width of the order of 10 to 60 μ.

Infolge der Ausbildung des Applikators 5 aus dem vorstehend geschilderten kapillar fördernden Material bewirkt die dargestellte Verbindung des Applikators mit dem Reservoir 2, daß aus letzterem durch die Kapillarwirkung Kosmetiktusche angesaugt und bis zur Auftragfläche des Applikatorteils 7 gefördert wird. Ist der Applikator 5 mit der Kosmetiktusche gesättigt, so erfolgt kein weiterer Nachschub und ein Tropfen oder Verschmieren des Applikators findet nicht statt. Wird beim Gebrauch des hier beispielsweise als Maskarastift ausgebildeten Geräts von der Auftragfläche Kosmetiktusche auf die Augenwimpern aufgetragen, dann bewirkt die bei Entnahme von Kosmetiktusche aus der Auftragfläche einsetzende Kapillarwirkung an der Oberfläche ein weiteres Nachfördern von Tusche entsprechend der entnommenen Menge.As a result of the formation of the applicator 5 from the capillary-promoting material described above, the connection shown between the applicator and the reservoir 2 causes cosmetic ink to be sucked in from the latter by the capillary action and conveyed to the application surface of the applicator part 7. If the applicator 5 is saturated with the cosmetic ink, there is no further replenishment and there is no dripping or smearing of the applicator. If, when using the device designed here, for example, as a mascara pencil, cosmetic ink is applied from the application surface to the eyelashes, then the capillary action on the surface, which takes place when cosmetic ink is removed from the application surface, causes a further re-feeding of ink accordingly the withdrawn quantity.

Anstelle der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Ausbildung des Applikators 5 können - neben weiteren,hier nicht gezeigten Abwandlungen - die in den Fig. 2 bis 5 dargestellten Formen und Profilierungen Anwendung finden. Diese eignen sich durchwegs zur Anwendung als Maskarastift, wobei die Ausführungsformen gemäß den Fig. 1 und 5 außerdem als Ink-Liner einsetzbar sind. In Fig. 2 ist der Applikator im wesentlichen zylindrisch und trägt eine Anzahl von im Achsschnitt sägezahnförmigen Ringrippen 51, die geschlossen um den Umfang des Applikators herumlaufen. Gemäß Fig. 3 weist der ebenfalls im wesentlichen zylindrische Applikator eine schraubenförmig verlaufende Ringrippe 52 mit Sägezahnprofil auf. Nach Fig. 4 sind nur an einer Längsseite des Applikators sägezahnförmige Rippen 53 ausgeformt, während gemäß Fig. 5 der Applikator im wesentlichen eine sich zu einer Spitze verjüngende, leicht tonnenförmig gewölbte Form hat und in seinem hinteren Abschnitt Ringrippen 54 der in Fig. 2 gezeigten Art aufweist, deren Durchmesser jedoch entsprechend der Verjüngung des Applikators zur Spitze hin kleiner wird.Instead of the design of the applicator 5 shown in FIG. 1, the shapes and profiles shown in FIGS. 2 to 5 can be used, in addition to further modifications not shown here. These are all suitable for use as mascara pens, and the embodiments according to FIGS. 1 and 5 can also be used as ink liners. In Fig. 2 the applicator is substantially cylindrical and carries a number of sawtooth-shaped ring ribs 51 in the axial section, which run closed around the circumference of the applicator. According to FIG. 3, the applicator, which is also essentially cylindrical, has a helical rib 52 with a sawtooth profile. According to FIG. 4, sawtooth-shaped ribs 53 are formed only on one long side of the applicator, while according to FIG. 5 the applicator essentially has a slightly barrel-shaped shape tapering to a tip and ring ribs 54 of the one shown in FIG. 2 in its rear section Has type, whose diameter, however, becomes smaller towards the tip in accordance with the taper of the applicator.
