Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung richtet sich auf einen Pinsel zum Auftragen einer kosmetischen Flüssigkeit, insbesondere einen Nagellackpinsel, umfassend einen Stiel mit einem endseitigen Griffabschnitt, wobei an dem gegenüberliegenden Ende des Stiels wenigstens ein in axialer Richtung wegstehendes Borstenbündel angeordnet ist.The invention is directed to a brush for applying a cosmetic liquid, in particular a nail polish brush, comprising a handle with an end-side grip portion, wherein at least one bristle bundle projecting away in the axial direction is arranged at the opposite end of the handle.
Herkömmliche Nagellackpinsel sind üblicherweise an der Innenseite einer Schraubverschlußkappe für den Nagellackbehälter angeordnet. Zum Lakkieren eines Nagels umfaßt die Benutzerin die Schraubkappe, taucht den Pinsel in den Nagellack und trägt den Nagellack Strich für Strich auf.Conventional nail polish brushes are usually arranged on the inside of a screw cap for the nail polish container. To lacquer a nail, the user covers the screw cap, dips the brush in the nail polish and applies the nail polish line by line.
Dabei können sich Probleme ergeben, wenn der Lackvorrat, den der Pinsel beim Eintauchen aufnimmt, nicht ausreicht, um einen vollständigen Nagel zu lackieren. Es muß dann nämlich innerhalb eines Nagels der Auftragsvorgang unterbrochen werden und der Pinsel erneut eingetaucht werden.
Da zunehmend von den Benutzerinnen sehr schnell trocknende Lacke verlangt werden, kann es zu einem mindestens partiellen Antrocknen des bereits lackierten Fingernagelteils kommen, so daß mit dem dann neu eingetauchten Pinsel kein sauberer und völlig unsichtbarer Anschluß beim Lakkieren des noch unlackierten Teils des Fingernagels hergestellt werden kann.This can cause problems when the paint supply, which receives the brush when dipping, is not sufficient to paint a complete nail. It must then be interrupted within a nail, the job process and the brush to be submerged again.
Since increasingly rapidly drying paints are required by the users, there may be at least partial drying of the already painted fingernail part, so that no clean and completely invisible connection when Lakkieren the still unpainted part of the fingernail can be made with the then newly immersed brush ,
Ein weiteres Problem besteht darin, daß die Benutzerinnen den Fingernagel üblicherweise von der Nagelwurzel zum oberen Rand hin lackieren, d.h. beim Auftragsvorgang liegt der auftragende Pinsel vor dem zu lackierenden Bereich des Nagels, so daß der freie Blick behindert ist.Another problem is that the users usually paint the fingernail from the nail root to the upper edge, ie during the application process, the brush is in front of the area of the nail to be painted, so that the naked eye is obstructed.
Letztlich ist es für die Benutzerin bei herkömmlichen Nagellackpinseln auch schwer, visuell zu beurteilen, ob sich noch ein hinreichender Lackvorrat in einem Pinsel befindet, um gegebenenfalls den nächstfolgenden ganzen Nagel noch zu lackieren.Ultimately, it is also difficult for the user in conventional nail polish brushes to visually assess whether there is still a sufficient supply of paint in a brush, if necessary, to paint the next whole nail even more.
Aus DE 37 08 984 A1 ist ein Nagellackpinsel bekannt, wobei an zwei gesonderten, voneinander beabstandeten Stielen je ein Borstenbüschel befestigt ist. Diese Anordnung dient dazu, in unterschiedliche Teil-Vorratsbehälter eingetaucht zu werden, um auf diese Weise unterschiedliche Flüssigkeiten, welche z.B. unterschiedlich gefärbt sind, gleichzeitig auftragen zu können.From DE 37 08 984 A1 a nail polish brush is known, wherein a separate bristle tufts is attached to two separate, spaced apart stems. This arrangement serves to be submerged in different sub-reservoirs so as to provide different fluids, e.g. are colored differently, to be able to apply at the same time.
Aus DE-GM 83 04 403 U1 ist ein Pinsel zum Auftragen von Reinigungs- und Schmierstoffen bekannt, der zwei Borstenbüschel umfaßt. Am Stiel kann stirnseitig eine Öffnung vorgesehen sein, die zum Zuführen von Schmiermittel aus einem Vorratsbehälter dient. Zu diesem Zweck ist der vorbekannte Pinsel auf einen Sprühkopf aufsetzbar.From DE-GM 83 04 403 U1 a brush for applying cleaning and lubricants is known, comprising two bristle tufts. On the stem, an opening may be provided on the front side, which serves for supplying lubricant from a storage container. For this purpose, the previously known brush can be placed on a spray head.
Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Pinsel der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbessern, daß der Nagelauftrag vereinfacht und das Lackierergebnis optimiert wird.Proceeding from this, the present invention seeks to improve a brush of the type mentioned so that the nail job is simplified and the painting result is optimized.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß wenigstens zwei im proximalen Stielbereich unter Ausbildung einer Ausnehmung voneinander beabstandete, sich distal hiervon wenigstens teilweise überlappende Borstenbündel vorgesehen sind.This object is achieved in that at least two in the proximal stem area to form a recess spaced apart, distally thereof at least partially overlapping bristle bundles are provided.
Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird erreicht, daß die Auftragsbreite pro Strich verbreitert wird, so daß sich innerhalb eines Nagels weniger Ansätze ergeben. Die Speicherkapazität für Nagellack wird erhöht, wobei auch der freie Zwischenraum im proximalen Bereich aufgrund der Kapillarwirkung als Speicherreservoir zur Verfügung steht. Gleichzeitig läßt sich der Füllzustand dieses Reservoirs optisch kontrollieren und eröffnet der freie Zwischenraum zwischen den wenigstens zwei Borstenbündeln einen Durchblick auf die zu lackierende Fläche.By this configuration it is achieved that the application width per stroke is broadened, so that there are fewer approaches within a nail. The storage capacity for nail polish is increased, whereby the free space in the proximal area is available as a storage reservoir due to the capillary action. At the same time, the filling state of this reservoir can be visually checked and opens the free space between the at least two bristle bundles a view of the surface to be painted.
Vorzugsweise ist der Stiel durch wenigstens zwei Rohrkörper gebildet, wobei in jedem Rohrkörper ein Borstenbündel befestigt wird. Die Befestigung kann in herkömmlicher Weise, z.B. durch Stanzen oder durch das Einbringen von vorgefertigten Borstenbündeln erfolgen.Preferably, the stem is formed by at least two tubular body, wherein in each tube body, a bristle bundle is attached. The attachment may be in a conventional manner, e.g. by punching or by the introduction of prefabricated bristle bundles.
Zur Schaffung eines weiteren Lackreservoirs kann vorgesehen sein, daß der wenigstens abschnittsweise innen hohle Stiel wenigstens eine seitliche Ausnehmung aufweist, durch die beim Eintauchen kosmetische Flüssigkeit, insbesondere Nagellack, in den Innenbereich des Stiel eindringen kann und von dort weiter zu den Borstenbündeln.To create a further paint reservoir can be provided that the at least partially inside hollow handle has at least one lateral recess through which cosmetic liquid, in particular nail polish, can penetrate into the interior of the stem during immersion and from there to the bristle bundles.
Die distalen Enden der Borstenbündel können durch eine gemeinsame Schnittlinie beschnitten sein, welche insbesondere senkrecht zur gemeinsamen Längsachse, schräg zur gemeinsamen Längsachse oder annähernd kreisabschnittförmig hierzu verläuft.The distal ends of the bristle bundles can be trimmed by a common cutting line, which extends in particular perpendicular to the common longitudinal axis, obliquely to the common longitudinal axis or approximately circular segment-shaped thereto.
Alternativ kann vorgesehen sein, daß jedes Borstenbündel individuell beschnitten ist, wobei hierdurch eine Längenabstufung oder auch zwei nebeneinanderliegende Spitzen realisierbar sind.Alternatively it can be provided that each bundle of bristles is individually trimmed, whereby a length or two adjacent peaks can be realized thereby.
