Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Auftraggerät, insbesondere ein Schminkgerät mit einem ersten Bereich zum Speichern eines flüssigen, gelartigen oder pastösen Produkts. Dabei bezieht sich die Erfindung insbesondere auf ein Schminkgerät, das im Zusammenhang mit Wimperntusche bzw. Mascara oder dergleichen verwendet wird. Die Erfindung ist aber nicht auf diese Anwendung beschränkt.The invention relates to a coating device, in particular a make-up device with a first region for storing a liquid, gelatinous or pasty product. In this case, the invention relates in particular to a make-up device which is used in connection with mascara or mascara or the like. The invention is not limited to this application.

Auftraggeräte der oben genannten Art sind bekannt. Dabei handelt es sich herkömmlicherweise um sogenannte Tauchsysteme, bei denen eine Auftrageinrichtung bzw. ein Applikator in den ersten Bereich eingetaucht wird, um die Auftrageinrichtung mit dem Produkt zu beladen. Diese herkömmlichen Geräte sind verbesserungsbedürftig:Applicators of the above type are known. These are conventionally so-called dipping systems, in which an applicator or an applicator is immersed in the first area in order to load the applicator with the product. These conventional devices need to be improved:

Durch das Eintauchen der Auftrageinrichtung in das Produkt kann das Produkt verunreinigt, insbesondere verkeimt werden, wodurch es unbrauchbar werden kann. Damit die Auftrageinrichtung überhaupt in den ersten Bereich eintauchen kann, ist eine vergleichsweise große Öffnung erforderlich, was mit einer entsprechend großen Luftangriffsoberfläche im Hinblick auf das gespeicherte Produkt einhergeht. Dadurch besteht die Gefahr des Austrocknens bzw. des Alterns des gespeicherten Produkts. Darüber hinaus hinterläßt die Auftrageinrichtung bei zähen Produkten nach dem Eintauchen eine kraterartige Vertiefung, die mit einer Vergrößerung der Luftangriffsoberfläche einhergeht. Zudem könnte sich eine Anwenderin angesichts der kraterartigen Vertiefung veranlaßt sehen, beispielsweise mit Wasser "nachzuhelfen", weil sie den Eindruck gewonnen hat, das Produkt sei ausgetrocknet, wodurch erhebliche Kontaminationsrisiken verbunden sind. Es kommt hinzu, daß beim Beladen beispielsweise einer bürstenförmigen Auftrageinrichtung mit einem Stiel das Produkt auch auf den Stiel gelangt, wodurch der Stiel zunehmend verunreinigt wird. Überhaupt ist ein genaues Dosieren nicht möglich. Auch ist zu beobachten, daß herkömmlicherweise vorgesehene Abstreifer zwar radial, nicht aber axial wirksam sind, weshalb Klumpen des Produkts an der Auftrageinrichtung verbleiben, die zu Überdosierungen und Verschmieren beim Gebrauch, beispielsweise beim Schminken führen. Werden diese Klumpen beispielsweise an Kosmetikpapier abgestreift, geht Produkt verloren. Schließlich ist als problematisch anzusehen, daß ausgetrocknete Bröselreste, die sich unter Umständen auf der Auftrageinrichtung befinden, beim (Wieder-)Eintauchen in den ersten Bereich in das gespeicherte Produkt eingemischt werden.By immersing the applicator in the product, the product may be contaminated, in particular germinated, whereby it may become unusable. In order for the applicator to be able to immerse itself in the first area, a comparatively large opening required, which is associated with a correspondingly large air attack surface with respect to the stored product. There is a risk of dehydration or aging of the stored product. In addition, the applicator leaves on tough products after immersion a crater-like depression, which is associated with an increase in the surface of the air attack. Moreover, in view of the crater-like depression, a user could be induced to "help" with water, for example, because she had the impression that the product had dried out, which entailed considerable risks of contamination. It should be added that when loading, for example, a brush-shaped applicator with a handle, the product also reaches the stem, whereby the stem is increasingly contaminated. In general, a precise dosing is not possible. It can also be observed that conventionally provided scrapers are effective radially, but not axially, which is why clumps of the product remain on the applicator, leading to overdosing and smearing during use, for example when applying make-up. If these lumps are stripped off, for example, on cosmetic paper, product is lost. Finally, it is to be regarded as problematic that dried crumb remnants, which may be located on the applicator, when (re) immersing in the first area are mixed into the stored product.

Aus der DE 44 34 793 A1 ist ein Auftraggerät nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 bekannt. Dabei dient als Fördereinrichtung eine mit der Bezugszahl 22 bezeichnete Druckfeder.From DE 44 34 793 A1 an applicator according to the preamble of claim 1 is known. It serves as a conveyor designated by the reference numeral 22 compression spring.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, das Auftraggerät nach der DE 44 34 793 A1 zu vereinfachen.It is an object of the invention to simplify the application device according to DE 44 34 793 A1.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die gestellte Aufgabe durch ein Auftraggerät nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Erfindungsgedankens sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.According to the invention, the object is achieved by an applicator according to claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the inventive concept are the subject of the dependent claims.

Die Realisierung der Fördereinrichtung mit einem Drehantrieb macht das Auftraggerät besonders einfach. Ferner ist quasi eine "Automatik" dadurch verwirklicht, daß eine Betätigung des mit der Fördereinrichtung gekoppelten Schraubgewindes ein Verbringen der Auftrageinrichtung von einer Ruhestellung in eine Arbeitsstellung bewirkt.The realization of the conveyor with a rotary drive makes the applicator particularly easy. Furthermore, an "automatic" is quasi realized in that an actuation of the screw coupled to the conveyor causes a movement of the applicator from a rest position to a working position.

Darüber hinaus erfolgt bei dem Auftraggerät nach Anspruch 1 das Beladen einer Auftrageinrichtung nicht innerhalb des Speicherbereichs für das Produkt. Dadurch ist jegliche "Rückwirkung" ausgeschlossen. Insbesondere besteht nicht mehr das Problem der Verkeimung des gespeicherten Produkts. Darüber hinaus muß kein der Größe der Auftrageinrichtung entsprechender Zugang zu dem Produktspeicher (erster Bereich) vorhanden sein, wodurch die Gefahr des Austrocknens bzw. der Alterung wegen allzu großer Luftangriffsoberflächen nicht mehr gegeben ist. Auch besteht nicht die Gefahr, daß ein Stiel einer Auftrageinrichtung ungewollt mit dem Produkt verschmiert wird. Schließlich ist ausgeschlossen, daß Bröselreste in den ersten Bereich gelangen.Moreover, in the applicator of claim 1, the loading of an applicator does not occur within the storage area for the product. This excludes any "feedback". In particular, there is no longer the problem of germination of the stored product. In addition, no size of the applicator corresponding access to the product memory (first area) must be present, whereby the risk of drying out or aging due to excessive air attack surfaces is no longer given. Also, there is no risk that a stem of an applicator unintentionally smeared with the product. Finally, it is impossible that Bröselreste reach the first area.

Nach einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist mindestens ein Zuführkanal zum Zuführen des Produkts von dem ersten zu dem zweiten Bereich vorgesehen.According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, at least one feed channel is provided for feeding the product from the first to the second region.

Dabei kann die Fördereinrichtung prinzipiell beliebig ausgelegt sein. Nach einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist sie jedoch dazu ausgelegt, das Produkt von dem ersten Bereich in den zweiten Bereich zu drängen und/oder den Druck in dem ersten Bereich gegenüber dem Druck in dem zweiten Bereich zu erhöhen. Wenn der oben erwähnte Zuführkanal vorgesehen ist, wird bei Betätigung der Fördereinrichtung das Produkt durch den Zuführkanal hindurch von dem ersten Bereich in den zweiten Bereich gefördert.In this case, the conveyor can in principle be designed arbitrarily. According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, however, it is designed to urge the product from the first region into the second region and / or to increase the pressure in the first region in relation to the pressure in the second region. When the above-mentioned supply passage is provided, upon operation of the conveyer, the product is conveyed from the first area to the second area through the supply passage.

Nach einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist das Gerät einen von dem ersten Bereich getrennten Aufnahmebereich für die Auftrageinrichtung in der Ruhestellung auf.According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the device has a separate from the first region receiving area for the applicator in the rest position.

Dieser Aufnahmebereich kann beispielsweise derart gestaltet sein, daß die Auftrageinrichtung in der Ruhestellung vor Beeinträchtigungen geschützt ist.This receiving area can for example be designed such that the applicator is protected in the rest position from impairments.

Weiter bevorzugt schließt sich dabei der zweite Bereich derart an den Aufnahmebereich an, daß die Auftrageinrichtung den zweiten Bereich (Beladebereich) passiert, wenn sie zum Verbringen in die Arbeitsstellung aus dem Aufnahmebereich entnommen wird.More preferably, the second area adjoins the receiving area in such a way that the applicator passes through the second area (loading area) when it is removed from the receiving area for movement into the working position.

Diese Ausgestaltung trägt weiter zu dem bereits oben erwähnten "automatischen" Beladen der Auftrageinrichtung mit dem Produkt bei.This embodiment further contributes to the already mentioned above "automatic" loading of the applicator with the product.

Bei der Kupplung handelt es sich bevorzugt um eine Einwegekupplung.The clutch is preferably a one-way clutch.

Dadurch ist gewährleistet, daß die Fördereinrichtung nur dann betätigt wird, wenn die Auftrageinrichtung von der Ruhestellung in die Arbeitsstellung verbracht wird, nicht aber dann, wenn die Auftrageinrichtung von der Arbeitsstellung in die Ruhestellung verbracht wird.This ensures that the conveyor is only operated when the applicator is moved from the rest position to the working position, but not when the applicator is moved from the working position to the rest position.

Als besonders einfach wird es erfindungsgemäß bevorzugt, daß die Kupplung eine Ratschkupplung ist.Especially simple according to the invention it is preferred that the coupling is a ratchet coupling.

Um ein einfaches Betätigen zu gewährleisten, weist die Kupplung nach einer weiter bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung mindestens ein elastisches Ratschelement auf.In order to ensure a simple operation, the coupling according to a further preferred embodiment of the invention has at least one elastic ratchet element.

Weiter bevorzugt weist die Fördereinrichtung eine Kolben-Zylinder-Einrichtung auf.More preferably, the conveyor on a piston-cylinder device.

Der Drehantrieb weist dabei weiter bevorzugt eine Hohlspindel auf, deren Innenraum zum Aufnehmen und/oder Durchstecken der Auftrageinrichtung ausgelegt ist und auf deren Außenmantel ein Gewinde ausgebildet ist.The rotary drive further preferably has a hollow spindle, whose interior is designed for receiving and / or passing through the applicator and on the outer shell, a thread is formed.

Dadurch ist eine besonders kompakte Bauweise möglich.This makes a particularly compact design possible.

Bevorzugt ist ein Abstreifer zum Abstreifen von Produktresten von der Auftrageinrichtung nach Gebrauch der Auftrageinrichtung vorgesehen. Die Produktreste können nach dem Abstreifen einem Reservoir für Altmasse zugeführt werden.Preferably, a scraper for stripping product residues from the applicator is provided after use of the applicator. The product remains can be supplied to a reservoir for scrap after stripping.

Die Erfindung schafft weiter bevorzugt nicht nur das Auftraggerät nach den obigen Ausführungen, sondern auch ein solches Auftraggerät in Kombination mit einer Auftrageinrichtung für das Produkt.The invention further preferably provides not only the applicator of the above embodiments but also such applicator in combination with an applicator for the product.

Im folgenden ist die Erfindung anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels unter Bezugnahme auf die beiliegende Zeichnung mit weiteren Einzelheiten näher erläutert. Dabei zeigen

FIG. 1
a schematic longitudinal sectional view of a makeup device according to a preferred embodiment of the invention and
FIG. 2
a schematic perspective view of the detail y in Figure 1.

Das in der Zeichnung dargestellte Auftraggerät ist ein Schminkgerät. Es hat ein Griffstück 10, in das ein Stiel 12 mit einer Auftrageinrichtung 14 an seinem freien Ende fest eingesteckt ist. In der in Figur 1 gezeigten Ruhestellung ist das Griffstück 10 auf einen Behälter 16 aufgeschraubt. Dazu weist der Behälter 16 ein Außengewinde 18 auf. Das Griffstück hat ein Gewinde 20. In den Behälter 16 ist eine Hohlspindel 22 drehbar eingesetzt. Die Hohlspindel 22 weist ein Außengewinde 24 auf, das mit einem Innengewinde 26 eines Kolbens 28 kämmt. Der Kolben 28 ist bezüglich des Behälters 16 zwar axial verschieblich, jedoch undrehbar gehalten.The applicator shown in the drawing is a make-up device. It has a handle 10, in which a handle 12 with an applicator 14 fixed at its free end is plugged in. In the rest position shown in Figure 1, the handle 10 is screwed onto a container 16. For this purpose, the container 16 has an external thread 18. The handle has a thread 20. In the container 16, a hollow spindle 22 is rotatably inserted. The hollow spindle 22 has an external thread 24, which meshes with an internal thread 26 of a piston 28. Although the piston 28 is axially displaceable relative to the container 16, but held non-rotatably.

Im mittleren Bereich des Behälters 16 ist ein Speicher 30 für ein Kosmetikprodukt, beispielsweise Mascara ausgebildet. Ein Zuführkanal 32 unmittelbar oberhalb eines Kammerbodens 33 verbindet den Speicher 30 mit einem Beladebereich 34.In the middle region of the container 16, a memory 30 for a cosmetic product, for example, mascara is formed. A feed channel 32 immediately above a chamber floor 33 connects the memory 30 to a loading area 34.

In der in Figur 1 dargestellten Ruhestellung befindet sich die Auftrageinrichtung 14, die beispielsweise die Form einer Bürste hat, in einem Aufnahmebereich 36. Zwischen dem Aufnahmebereich 36 und dem Beladebereich 34 liegt ein Abstreifer 38 zum Säubern der benutzten Auftrageinrichtung. Der Aufnahmebereich 36 ist von einem Reservoir 40 für Altmasse umgeben. Den unteren Abschluß des Behälters bildet ein Endboden 42.In the rest position shown in Figure 1, the applicator 14, which for example has the shape of a brush, in a receiving area 36. Between the receiving area 36 and the loading area 34 is a scraper 38 for cleaning the used applicator. The receiving area 36 is surrounded by a reservoir 40 for waste. The lower end of the container forms an end floor 42.

Wie Figur 2 zu entnehmen ist, hat der Stiel 12 im Querschnitt eine Kontur mit vier Ratschnasen, von denen eine beispielhaft mit der Bezugszahl 44 bezeichnet ist. Die Hohlspindel 22 ist mit einer elastisch federnden Ratschzunge 46 versehen. Die Zahl der Ratschnasen 44 ist nicht auf vier beschränkt. Sie liegt bevorzugt im Bereich von eins bis sechs. In gleicher Weise können auch mehrere Ratschzungen 46 vorgesehen sein.As can be seen from FIG. 2, the handle 12 has in cross-section a contour with four ratchets, one of which is designated by the reference number 44 by way of example. The hollow spindle 22 is provided with an elastically resilient Ratschzunge 46. The number of bates 44 is not limited to four. It is preferably in the range of one to six. In the same way, a plurality of countersinks 46 may be provided.

Die Funktion des in der Zeichnung dargestellten Schminkgerätes ist wie folgt:The function of the make-up device shown in the drawing is as follows:

Wird das Griffstück 10 von dem Behälter 16 abgeschraubt, wozu eine Drehbewegung des Griffstückes 10 relativ zu dem Behälter 16 erforderlich ist, so nimmt der sich mit dem Griffstück 10 drehende Stiel 12 über die Ratschnasen 44 und die Ratschzunge 46 die Hohlspindel 22 mit. Diese Drehung der Hohlspindel 22 führt dazu, daß sich über die Gewindepaarung 24/26 der Kolben 28 in Figur 1 nach unten verschiebt. In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel beträgt die Steigung der Gewindepaarung 24/26 ca. 0,4 mm, weshalb der Kolben 28 um die genannten 0,4 mm in Figur 1 nach unten bewegt wird. Dadurch wird Mascara aus dem Speicher 30 über den Zuführkanal 32 in den Beladebereich 34 gedrängt. Wegen des Abschraubens des Griffstücks 10 von dem Behälter 16 bewegt sich aber gleichzeitig mit der beschriebenen Absenkung des Kolbens 28 das Auftragelement 14 in Figur 1 nach oben an dem Abstreifer 38 vorbei und durch den Beladebereich 34 hindurch. In dem genannten Beladebereich wird es über den Zuführkanal 32 mit Mascara beladen.If the handle 10 is unscrewed from the container 16, to which a rotary movement of the handle 10 is required relative to the container 16, so takes the rotating handle 10 with the handle 12 via the Ratschnasen 44 and the Ratschzunge 46, the hollow spindle 22 with. This rotation of the hollow spindle 22 causes the piston 28 in FIG. 1 to shift downward via the thread pairing 24/26. In the illustrated embodiment, the pitch of the thread pairing 24/26 is about 0.4 mm, which is why the piston 28 is moved downwards by the mentioned 0.4 mm in FIG. As a result, mascara is forced out of the store 30 via the feed channel 32 into the loading area 34. Because of the unscrewing of the handle 10 of the container 16 but moves simultaneously with the described reduction of the piston 28, the applicator element 14 in Figure 1 upwards on the scraper 38 and through the loading area 34 therethrough. In the loading area mentioned, it is loaded with mascara via the feed channel 32.

Da der Kolben 28 sich genau um den erwähnten Hub nach unten bewegt, ist eine genaue Portionierung der Mascara beim Beladen der Auftrageinrichtung 14 möglich. Soll mehr oder weniger auf die Auftrageinrichtung 14 geladen werden, muß nur das Verhältnis der Steigungen der Gewindepaarungen 24/26 und 18/20 geändert werden. Ein Kolbenhub von 0,2 - 0,7 mm hat sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen.Since the piston 28 moves downwards precisely by the mentioned stroke, an exact portioning of the mascara during loading of the applicator 14 is possible. If more or less load on the applicator 14, only the ratio of the slopes of the thread pairs 24/26 and 18/20 must be changed. A piston stroke of 0.2 - 0.7 mm has proved to be advantageous.

Wird das Griffstück 10 nach Auftragen des Kosmetikprodukts wieder auf den Behälter 16 aufgeschraubt, so rutscht die von den Elementen 44 und 46 gebildete Kupplung durch, weshalb sich der Kolben 28 nicht bewegt. Der Abstreifer 38 streift Mascarareste von der Auftrageinrichtung 14 ab. Die Reste sammeln sich in dem Reservoir 40 für Altmasse. Somit fungiert der Abstreifer 38 als Reinigungsvorrichtung für die Auftrageinrichtung 14, d.h. vor dem nächsten Beladen mit Mascara wird die Auftrageinrichtung 14 durch Abstreifer gesäubert. If the handle 10 is screwed back onto the container 16 after application of the cosmetic product, then the coupling formed by the elements 44 and 46 slips through, which is why the piston 28 does not move. The wiper 38 strips mascara residues from the applicator 14. The residues accumulate in the reservoir 40 for waste. Thus, the scraper 38 functions as a cleaning device for the applicator 14, i. before the next loading with mascara the applicator 14 is cleaned by scrapers.
