Definitions

  • the invention relates to a storage and application device for liquid, in particular nail polish.
  • nail polish bottles but also other storage and application devices are often constructed as follows: They have a body (often in the form of a glass vial), which encloses a storage space.
  • a body often in the form of a glass vial
  • at least a part of the body is designed as a hollow neck with an external thread.
  • the hollow neck ends at an end face.
  • the hollow neck may also be referred to as a bottleneck.
  • the storage and Applizier realizeden a closure and Applizierappel.
  • This consists of an internal thread having, screwed onto the external thread cap and an applicator connected to the cap applicator, at its free end an applicator, for example in the form of a brush, is formed.
  • the brush consists of a hair body formed from a variety of hair.
  • the applicator takes the minimum distance from the bottom of the storage room only with screwed cap.
  • the cap should not be screwed during use (in the present case when painting the fingernails), which is also difficult, since this requires both hands.
  • the applicator carrier extends through the closure cap so that its first end is outside the closure cap and is connected thereto by means of a spring.
  • the applicator carrier can thus be displaced in relation to the closure cap in such a way that the distance of the applicator from the closure cap is increased.
  • the described storage and application device can thus basically partially solve the problem outlined above, it has numerous practical disadvantages.
  • the one-handed operation is relatively difficult because at the same time the body (the vial) must be held and pressed onto the first end of the applicator carrier.
  • the effort that one must operate to achieve the necessary tightness in the storage condition very high.
  • the production cost is high.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a storage and application device for liquid of the type mentioned above, with which can solve the aforementioned problems and which is also easier and less expensive to manufacture compared to the prior art.
  • the storage and applicator according to the invention for liquid, in particular nail varnish has a container interior having reservoir for liquid, which has a container opening equipped with a container opening, which has an end face and one with a External thread equipped jacket surface, wherein a closure and Applizierica is provided, which has an internal thread, screwed onto the external thread cap and an applicator with the cap coupled applicator with Aufschraubbegrenzungsstoffn for abutment with the end face, wherein the applicator on an end facing away from the cap an applicator for applying the liquid, and wherein an acting between the cap and the applicator applicator elastic element is present, such that the closure cap upon contact of the Aufschraubbegrenzungsstoffn to the end face under tensioning the elastic member relative to the applicator from a use position into a screwed-on closure position is guided axially movable by means of guide means, wherein the guide means formed on the applicator stop and a stopper formed on the cap Counter-stop, which together define
  • the inner part is formed as a sleeve, so it is a component open on both sides, resulting in great advantages in the production.
  • the caps are made of plastic, in particular these are plastic injection molded components.
  • the cost of the tool (injection mold) plays a major role. The simpler the shape is built, the easier is the demolding of the molded plastic component and the cheaper the plastic injection molded parts are to produce.
  • the inner part is cap-shaped and has a trained as a stop shoulder on the inner shell. The demolding of such a cap-shaped component with internal shoulder is relatively complicated and therefore expensive.
  • the demolding can be done much more cost-effective, since the inner part is designed as a sleeve, whereby in particular the counter-stop, which cooperates with the stop on the applicator, much easier to demold and thus produce is two shapes can be used, which can then be extended by the oppositely disposed openings of the sleeve with ready-molded plastic sleeve.
  • the inner part has an inner jacket and a cylindrical outer jacket.
  • the stop has a first and a second stop surface and the counter-stop on a first and second counter stop surface, wherein for specifying the use position first stop and first counter-stop and to specify the closing position second stop and second counter Stop in the system to each other.
  • both the screwed-on closure position and the use position are predetermined by stop and counter-stop.
  • the first and second stop surfaces facing each other and spaced apart in the axial direction.
  • first and second mating abutment surfaces are remote from each other.
  • the counter-abutment surfaces are formed by end faces of a protrusion dipping into the annular groove.
  • the projection is designed as an annular stop collar.
  • the annular groove has over the dipping projection a significantly larger axial extent.
  • the stop is formed on the applicator carrier. Accordingly, it is preferred that the counter-stop is formed on the inner part of the closure cap. In principle, however, it would also be possible to form the counter-stop on the applicator carrier and the stop on the inner part of the closure cap. It is advantageous, however, that the stop in the form of an annular groove on the applicator carrier and the counter-stop in the form of a projection, in particular annular stop collar on the closure cap is formed.
  • fixing means are provided for fixing the inner part in the outer part, which are designed such that the outer and inner parts are rotationally fixed and fixed relative to each other relatively immovable in the axial direction.
  • the fixing means comprise interlocking means on the one hand the outer part and on the other hand on the inner part, which engage radially in one another and thereby provide an axial securing of the inner part in the outer part.
  • the inner part of the internal thread is expediently formed on the inner jacket of the inner part.
  • the elastic element acts on the closure cap away from the applicator carrier and biases it into the use position when the threads do not mesh with one another.
  • the elastic element is designed as a spring, in particular compression spring.
  • the compression spring is supported on the one hand on the applicator carrier and on the other hand on the outer part of the closure cap, in particular on a roof section of the closure cap.
  • the applicator carrier has a shank portion, at the free end of which the applicator is arranged and has a diameter portion which is larger than the shank portion, wherein the screw-on limit means are formed by an annular shoulder at the transition between the bearing portion and the shank portion.
  • anti-rotation means for preventing rotation between the closure cap and the applicator carrier are present between the bearing section of the applicator carrier and the inner part of the closure cap.
  • the anti-rotation means by a polygonal profile the bearing portion on the one hand and the inner shell of the inner part on the other hand formed.

  • the storage container 13 has a belly section 14 which surrounds the container interior 12, wherein a belly section 14 is not absolutely necessary. It is essential that the reservoir 13 has a container neck 15, the one of Channel-like container opening 16 is interspersed. The interior of the container neck 15, so the channel-like container opening 16 is not filled, but the highest level is usually just below the container neck 15. The container opening 16 is used in this case only for access to the container interior 12.
