Abstract

The mascara brush (1) has a base body (2) and a number of bristles (3) extending away from the base body. The bristles have an essentially conical envelope curve and are molded with the base body in one piece of the same material. The bristles are densely arranged on the base body at no more than 0.3 mm apart.

Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf ein Bürstchen zum Auftragen eines Kosmetikums auf menschliche Haare, insbesondere ein Mascara-Bürstchen, umfassend einen Grundkörper und eine Mehrzahl sich vom Grundkörper weg erstreckender Borsten.The invention is directed to a brush for applying a cosmetic to human hair, in particular a mascara brush, comprising a base body and a plurality of bristles extending away from the base body.

Herkömmlicherweise wurden Mascara-Bürstchen dadurch hergestellt, dass eine Vielzahl von Borsten zwischen einem haarnadelförmig umgebogenen Drahtabschnitt durch Verdrillung desselben festgelegt wurden. Diese Herstellungstechnik bedingt konstruktive Beschränkungen hinsichtlich der Ausgestaltung des fertigen Bürstchens, weshalb in jüngerer Zeit zunehmend durch Spritzgießen hergestellte Bürstchen realisiert und auf den Markt gebracht werden. Bei diesen Bürstchen sind die Borsten ebenfalls durch Spritzgießen hergestellte Elemente, d. h. es handelt sich nicht um Borsten im ursprünglichen Sinn. Der Einfachheit halber wird nachfolgend diese Terminologie aber durchgehend beibehalten.Conventionally, mascara brushes have been made by setting a plurality of bristles between a hairpin-shaped bent wire section by twisting them. This production technique requires design restrictions with regard to the design of the finished brush, which is why more recently produced by injection molding brushes are realized and brought to market. In these brushes, the bristles are also injection molded elements, i. H. they are not bristles in the original sense. For the sake of simplicity, however, this terminology will be retained throughout.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein durch Spritzgießen hergestelltes Mascara-Bürstchen so auszugestalten, dass bei vorteilhafter, wirtschaftlicher Herstellbarkeit gute Transfereigenschaften für das auftragende flüssige Produkt sowie vorteilhafte Kämm- und Separationseigenschaften für die Haare bzw. Wimpern erreicht werden.The object of the invention is to design a mascara brush produced by injection molding in such a way that good transfer properties for the applied liquid product as well as advantageous combing and separation properties for the hair or eyelashes are achieved with advantageous economic manufacturability.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöstThis object is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1

Mit anderen Worten weisen die Borsten eine kegelförmige Grundform auf, die jedoch an der Spitze, im Bereich der Mantelfläche oder im Basisbereich von einer strengen Kegelform abweichend strukturiert sein kann.In other words, the bristles have a conical basic shape, which, however, may be structured differently at the tip, in the region of the lateral surface or in the base region of a strict conical shape.

Günstigerweise sind die Borsten an ihrer Basis derart dicht an dicht am Grundkörper angeordnet, dass der Abstand benachbarter Borsten und deren Basis maximal 0,3 mm beträgt.Conveniently, the bristles are arranged at their base so close to the body that the distance between adjacent bristles and their base is 0.3 mm maximum.

Der Grundkörper der Bürste kann unterschiedliche Querschnittsgeometrien aufweisen und ist im vorliegenden Fall vorzugsweise rund.The main body of the brush may have different cross-sectional geometries and is preferably round in the present case.

Der Kegelwinkel der Hüllkurve jeder Borste kann zwischen 1,5° und 40° liegen.The cone angle of the envelope of each bristle can be between 1.5 ° and 40 °.

Der Durchmesser der im Querschnitt kreisförmigen Basis der Borsten liegt mit Vorteil zwischen ca. 0,3 mm und 0,8 mm, vorzugsweise bei ca. 0,5 mm. An dem Grundkörper können in Längsrichtung in Abhängigkeit von dem Kegelwinkel der Umhüllenden jeder Borste zwischen ca. 18 und 100 Borsten angeordnet sein, wobei der Grundkörper einen Durchmesser von ca. 1,0 mm bis 5,6 mm aufweisen kann. Die Länge des Grundkörpers beträgt dabei ca. 15 mm bis 30 mm.The diameter of the cross-sectionally circular base of the bristles is advantageously between about 0.3 mm and 0.8 mm, preferably about 0.5 mm. Depending on the cone angle of the envelopes, each bristle can be arranged between approximately 18 and 100 bristles in the longitudinal direction on the base body, wherein the base body can have a diameter of approximately 1.0 mm to 5.6 mm. The length of the body is about 15 mm to 30 mm.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Variante weist wenigstens ein Teil der Borsten einen nicht-kreisförmigen Querschnitt auf.In an advantageous variant, at least a part of the bristles has a non-circular cross-section.

Die Spitzen der Borsten definieren eine Hüllkurve, die einen Durchmesser von ca. 4 mm bis 16 mm aufweisen kann.The tips of the bristles define an envelope, which may have a diameter of about 4 mm to 16 mm.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass die Spitzen einer ersten Mehrzahl von Borsten eine zylindrische Hüllkurve definieren und die Spitzen einer zweiten Mehrzahl von Borsten eine hiervon abweichende, innerhalb der zylindrischen Hüllkurve liegende Geometrie ausbilden.In a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the tips of a first plurality of bristles define a cylindrical envelope and the tips of a second plurality of bristles form a different geometry lying within the cylindrical envelope.

Die Länge der Borsten liegt mit Vorteil zwischen 1,0 mm und 7 mm.The length of the bristles is advantageously between 1.0 mm and 7 mm.

Die Borstenoberfläche kann glatt ausgebildet sein oder eine Struktur aufweisen.The bristle surface may be smooth or have a structure.

Die Borsten können kranzartig um die Längsachse des Bürstchens angeordnet sind, wobei pro Kranz 3 bis 53 Borsten vorgesehen sind.The bristles can be arranged like a wreath around the longitudinal axis of the brush, wherein 3 to 53 bristles are provided per ring.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung erläutert. Dabei zeigen:

Fig. 2
einen Schnitt längs der Linie II-II in Fig. 1
The invention will be explained with reference to a preferred embodiment in conjunction with the drawings. Showing:
Fig. 1

Fig. 2
a section along the line II-II in Fig. 1

Ein in der Zeichnung dargestelltes Mascara-Bürstchen 1 umfasst einen Grundkörper 2 und eine Mehrzahl von Borsten 3, die mit dem Grundkörper 2 einstückig aus dem gleichen Kunststoff gespritzt sind. Der Grundkörper 2 ist mit einem Stielansatz 4 verbunden, der zur Verbindung mit einem in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten Stiel dient.An illustrated in the drawing mascara brush 1 comprises a base body 2 and a plurality of bristles 3, which are integrally molded with the base body 2 of the same plastic. The main body 2 is connected to a handle lug 4, which serves for connection to a handle, not shown in the drawing.

Die Borsten 3 haben eine kegelförmige Form mit einem Kegelwinkel α.The bristles 3 have a conical shape with a cone angle α.

Aus Fig. 2 ist erkennbar, dass die Borsten 3 an der einen Seite des im Querschnitt runden Grundkörpers 2 kürzer sind als auf der anderen Seite.Out Fig. 2 It can be seen that the bristles 3 are shorter on one side of the body 2, which is round in cross-section, than on the other side.

Es können beispielsweise folgende Dimensionierungen vorgesehen sein:

  • Kegelwinkel α der Borsten 3: 8,2°
  • Durchmesser der Borsten 3 an ihrer Basis: 0,3 mm
  • Durchmesser des Grundkörpers 2: 1,5 mm
  • Außendurchmesser der Hüllkurve der Borstenspitzen: 4 mm
  • Die Borsten sind kranzförmig angeordnet mit zwölf Borsten 3 pro Kranz.
  • Der Abstand A benachbarter Borsten 3 im Fußbereich beträgt 0,2 mm.
For example, the following dimensions can be provided:
  • Cone angle α of the bristles 3: 8,2 °
  • Diameter of the bristles 3 at their base: 0.3 mm
  • Diameter of the main body 2: 1.5 mm
  • Outer diameter of the envelope of the bristle tips: 4 mm
  • The bristles are arranged in a circle with twelve bristles 3 per ring.
  • The distance A of adjacent bristles 3 in the foot region is 0.2 mm.
