Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for applying cosmetic liquids, in particular perfume, with a housing for receiving a liquid supply and with a rotatably mounted ball in a bearing seat at the application end of the housing, which protrudes with a part of its surface from the application end.
  • the need to rotatably support the ball in order to be able to effect the application process allows the use of only relatively viscous liquids in the known devices of this type, if a reliable seal should be guaranteed when not in use.
  • the known devices are less suitable for low-viscosity cosmetic liquids, such as perfume, because the bearing seat of the ball does not provide sufficient tightness against them, so that leakage must be feared in the lying and unused state.
  • devices for applying cosmetic liquids which do not belong to the above-mentioned genus are also known, in which the application surface is formed by a fixed membrane made of tissue or foam permeable to the liquid, below which a spring-loaded valve with a valve body which can be actuated through the membrane is arranged. By pressing the membrane against the skin, the valve is opened so that liquid can escape, penetrate the membrane and be applied to the skin.
  • the arrangement of the valve means that these devices are leak-proof, but they are applied through rubbing contact with the skin ', as a result of which impurities in the skin, grease and the like are deposited on the outer surface of the membrane over time. This is perceived as unsanitary.
  • a common disadvantage of the two known devices discussed above is that the amount of liquid applied to the skin depends on the amount of liquid supplied to the ball bearing seat or the back of the membrane, which in turn depends on the position of the device (more or less tilting). fluctuates.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a leak-proof device of the type mentioned which can also be used for low-viscosity cosmetic liquids, in particular for perfume, and which allows the liquid to be applied evenly to the skin regardless of the position of the device.
  • this object is achieved in that the ball is in contact with at least part of its surface facing the housing interior with a body made of capillary material connected to the liquid supply.
  • the cosmetic liquid is not supplied directly to the spherical surface facing the interior of the housing, but via the capillary material of the body in contact with the sphere, i.e. -so controlled according to the eligibility of this body. Liquid is only sucked out of the body and fed back from the liquid supply due to its capillary action, as long as liquid is released on the skin by a rolling movement of the ball. If no liquid is dispensed, there is essentially no liquid supply through the body made of capillary material. As a result, the sealability of the ball in its bearing seat is sufficient even when using relatively low-viscosity cosmetic liquids.
  • Another significant advantage is that the contact of the ball with the body made of capillary material means that any contaminants absorbed by the skin are constantly stripped off the body and remain inside the device. As a result, the spherical surface itself always remains clean and hygienic.
  • the body made of capillary material forms part of the bearing seat of the ball and expediently rests against the ball under elastic prestress.
  • This system can either be caused by the fact that the body is slidably arranged and under a spring load or due to the fact that the body held immovably in the application end of the housing consists of an elastically deformable material and is installed in deformation against the ball.
  • the body either has a spherical bearing recess for the ball or forms it on account of its elastic deformability, so that the ball is sufficiently wetted with liquid for a strong application.
  • the elastic preload of the ball causes it to be pressed against the sealing lip of the bearing seat on the application side, which further improves the seal when not in use.
  • a wick 2 made of capillary material is accommodated as a liquid reservoir.
  • the open end of the housing 1 is closed by a guide cap 3 fitted with a tight fit, which tapers conically towards the front and holds a holder 4 made of thin stainless steel sheet.
  • the guide cap 3 has on its inside a number of radially inwardly projecting ribs 5, the rear-facing end faces serve as a stop for the wick 2 and the radially inward-facing longitudinal sides form a continuation of the receiving bore 6 for the socket 4.
  • the socket 4 sits with a neck-like part-7 sealed in the receiving bore 6 and widens outside of this for receiving a ball 8, preferably made of Teflon.
  • the ball 8 is held in a bearing seat, which is formed on the one hand by a bent circumferential sealing lip 9 of the socket 4 and on the other hand by the front end face of a body 10 made of capillary material.
  • the body 10 is held in the neck part 7 of the holder 4 and, with its rear end, projects a piece immovably into the wick 2. It consists of an elastically deformable fiber material, for example synthetic fibers, which are bound together by means of a resin, and presses the ball 8 against the sealing lip 9 due to an elastic deformation. As a result, the front end face of the body 10 rests in the form of a dome on the back of the ball 8 .
  • the guide cap 3 has a circumferential collar 11 with which it is supported on the end face of the housing 1 and which also serves to support a closure cap 12 of the device.
  • the outwardly widened part of the holder 4 allows the mounting of a ball 8 which is large in relation to the diameter of the housing and whose diameter is, for example, 1 cm. With a releasable fastening of the socket 4 in the guide cap 3, it is possible, after the consumption of the liquid contained in the wick 2. amount to refill and use the device again.
  • the part of the ball 8 protruding beyond the lip 9 is placed on the skin and the ball is rotated by rubbing. Since the ball 8 is supplied with liquid on the back by the body 10 made of capillary material, it remains constantly wetted during the rolling process, so that through the contact liquid can be released onto the skin. In the unused state, ie when no liquid is removed from the spherical end face of the body 10, no liquid flows through this body either. Possibly. liquid accumulating behind the bearing seat over time is prevented from escaping by the pressure of the ball 8 on the sealing lip 9.
  • Liquid on the surface of the ball which for some reason has not been applied to the skin and is returned to the inside of the bearing seat, is wiped off, along with any contamination that may be present, on the edge of the spherical end face of the body 10, so that it always remains on the ball only that amount of liquid is present which corresponds to the supply through the body 10.
