Make-up pen for applying liquid make-up material

The invention relates to a make- up pen for applying flowable make-up material, in particular a nail polish brush, with a hollow handle serving as a cover for a container containing the material and a shaft # attached to the handle and protruding therefrom at its free end Application element for applying the make-up material is attached.

In known make-up pens of the type described above, which are used to apply nail polish , eyebrow make-up, etc., the handle / in which the shaft is attached is designed as a lid that fits onto a container for the make-up. Material can be attached or screwed on *. The shaft with the application element attached to it (paintbrush, pad, brush) protrudes so far from the handle that it extends to the bottom of the container when the handle is screwed or attached * Its length is thus sufficient to accommodate the user in connection with the handle to serve as a handle for the safe application of the make-up material.

For reasons of taste and space, especially if the make-up material is in the respective When only a small amount of use is required, it is often desirable to keep the container small and short.

In the known containers designed in this way, however, this has the consequence that the protruding from the handle The shaft is correspondingly shorter and its function which supports the safe application of the make-up material thereby forfeit. Because the user can now only grasp the handle with pointed fingers when applying? the already short shaft is immersed in the make-up material in the container without one Soiling of the fingers cannot be detected.

The invention seeks to remedy this, i.e. to propose a make-up pen of the type specified at the beginning, in connection with short, small make-up containers can be used, but nevertheless enables safe guidance during application without the risk of contamination.

According to the invention, this is achieved in that the shaft can be telescopically pushed in and out in the handle is attached.

This training is available when applying the make-up material a shaft length is available, which is the length of the shaft protruding from the handle and additionally composed of a length that corresponds approximately to the length of the handle itself. As this additional Length of the shaft in the closed state of the container is housed int the inside of the handle, i.e. nichijin comes into contact with the make-up material the user in a manner known from the larger containers ago the make-up pen both on the handle and grasp on part of the shaft length and thus handle it properly.

The shaft can be simply slidably guided in the handle so that it can be pushed in and pulled out therein. The end-

pull when releasing the handle from the associated container can be done in such a way that the protruding shaft is clamped in the container neck or on a scraper possibly arranged in the container and then pulled out The bottom of the container is automatically pushed back into the handle. According to a preferred embodiment, a projection is formed on the shaft, preferably in the vicinity of the application element, which is suitable for engaging behind the container neck or a stripper provided therein when the shaft is pulled out of the container, so that the shaft is clamped is not necessary

According to a further development of the invention, the shaft can be loaded by a spring arranged in the handle and can be pushed out of the container by this spring when the handle is released. In this case, the user only needs to release the handle from the container, the shaft being automatically pushed out to the desired length by the spring without additional manipulation. In order to prevent the application element from being damaged when the container is closed and the application element rises up on the container bottom under spring tension, a stop or the like can ajtl the shaft. be provided, which is supported on the container neck or a scraper provided therein, if necessary, without the application element being pressed against the container bottom.

It goes without saying that the handle itself can be designed so that it can accommodate the telescopic handle according to the invention Contains sliding guide of the shaft, but that it is also possible to provide an insert in the handle, who takes over this function, with the rest of the

Handle is designed in a conventional manner as a screw or plug-in cover.

Further advantages and features of the invention emerge from the following description of two exemplary embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings .

1 shows a longitudinal section through a first, simpler embodiment of a make- up stick according to the invention in the state inserted in a container and

FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal section, analogous to FIG. 1, of a second embodiment.

The make-up pen according to the invention shown in Fig. 1, which is for example a nail polish brush, consists essentially of a handle 1 and a shaft 2, which _{carries at its free end an application element 3 f} here in the form of an absorbent pad. The handle 1 is designed as a screw cap and for this purpose has an internal thread, not shown, at its end facing the applicator element 3, with which it can be screwed onto a container for make-up material designated as a whole by 4. The container 4 consists of a glass bottle with a capacity of only about 2 to 3 cm and has a container neck 5 to which a stripper 6 made of plastic is attached, for example by being pressed on. The wiper 6 protrudes with a wiper lip 7 into the container neck 5, covers its outside and has an external thread onto which the handle 1 with the mentioned internal thread can be screwed. In addition, the wiper 6 contains an O-ring 8 for sealing purposes, which in the closed state of the container

- 7 rests sealingly on the shaft 2 of the make-up pen.

The shaft 2 has a circumferential annular rib 9 close to the applicator element 3, and carries on its Application element facing away from the upper end of a collar

a disk 11 with a hole 12 is inserted into the handle 1 at a distance from its screw end, in which the shaft 2 is slidably displaceable. The play between the shaft 2 and the hole 12 can be chosen to be sufficiently small so that wobbling of the shaft is largely prevented.

For applying makeup material it is due to the The design shown possible to pull the shaft 2 out of the handle 1 by an additional length corresponds to the distance between the disc 11 and the collar. Is the sealing seat of the O-ring sufficient? tight, the pulling takes place already with the unscrewing of the handle 1 from the container 4, because the O-ring 8 holds the shaft 2 in place until the collar 10 comes to rest against the disk 11. Is the tight fit of the O-ring is not sufficiently tight, so the user can after unscrewing the handle 1 and before complete withdrawal of the shaft 2 from the container 4, the annular rib 9 on the wiper lip 7 for Bring it into contact and then pull the shaft 2 out of the handle 1 by pulling gently. When screwing on again of the handle 1 on the container 4, the shaft 2 pushes itself by pushing the applicator element 3 on the bottom of the container back into the handle.

In the embodiment of FIG. 2 is in a handle 21 an insert 22 pressed in or glued in, the approximately

has an annular collar 23 with a hole 24 in its longitudinal center. The diameter of the hole 24 is dimensioned so that there is a slight slide for a shaft 25 of the makeup pen. At its free end, the shaft 25 carries an applicator element 26 _t here in the form of a hairbrush. At its upper end facing away from the applicator element 26, the shaft has

25 a collar 27 which is displaceable in a cylinder-like guide 28 of the insert 22. By doing Bund 27 are not shown recesses or the like. provided to allow easy movement without drag to allow due to displaced air.

At its upper end, the shaft 25 also has an axial bore 29 into which a prestressed Compression spring 30 is used. The compression spring 30 is supported between the bottom of the bore 29 and the closed one End of the handle 21.

At the lower end of the insert 22 facing the applicator element 26, there is an internal thread on the inside thereof provided, by means of which the handle 1 is attached to an external thread (not shown) on the container neck 31 can be screwed on. A scraper is located in the container neck 31 32 attached, the bore tapers down to a wiper lip 33. The shaft 25 i & t equipped approximately in its longitudinal center with a thickening 34, which corresponds to the diameter of the bore of the scraper 32 is adapted at the upper end so that a sealing function is obtained in the inserted state will. Between the thickening 34 and the application element

26, the shaft 25 also has a shoulder 35 which, in the inserted state, is located on the wiper lip supports. As a result, the bias of the compression spring 30 is absorbed so that the application element 26 does not fall

• · ί; ϊ: ·: J.

the spring force is pressed onto the container bottom.

When the handle 21 is released from the container, the shaft 25 is relieved by the relaxing compression spring 30 pushed out of the handle until the collar 27 comes to rest on the annular collar 23. When closing again of the container, the shoulder 35 is supported on the wiper lip 33, so that by the Aufschi Auben the handle 21 on the container, the compression spring 30 is biased again.

In a modification of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, it is possible to directly design the insert 22 itself as a handle. In this case, only the upper end of the insert 22 has to be covered by a lid or the like. are closed, on which the shaft 25 and the compression spring 30 can be supported.
