Definitions

  • the invention relates to an applicator device for applying a liquid medium according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such an applicator device is known from the EP 0 743 830 B1 , The production of such an applicator device is complicated.
  • the protective sleeve surrounds the applicator tip so that damage or undesired deformation of the applicator tip due to rapidly flowing medium or due to a possibly present mixing body in the reservoir is practically excluded.
  • a protective function can also fulfill a protective sleeve, the inner diameter of which is constant in the region of an applicator tip, which is thus not formed to be complementary to the applicator tip.
  • Such a protective sleeve can be manufactured with a comparatively low production cost due to its constant inside diameter in the region of the applicator tip.
  • the protective sleeve adapts automatically to the height of the container due to the resilient sleeve section. One and the same protective sleeve can therefore for reservoir different height can be used. This reduces the manufacturing costs for the protective sleeve.
  • a protective sleeve according to claim 2 can be manufactured with mass production techniques and requires no assembly of individual parts.
  • the resilient sleeve portion as separate from the star section of the protective sleeve part, which is subsequently connected to the star section be made.
  • the resilient sleeve portion may be made of metal, for example.
  • the design of the resilient sleeve portion according to claim 5 can be produced with little effort.
  • the entire resilient sleeve section with the ring sections can in particular be manufactured in one piece from plastic.
  • This resilient sleeve portion may in turn be integrally formed on the star section.
  • a latching connection according to claim 6 leads to a simple assembly of the applicator.
  • the latching connection is formed by complementary latching sections formed on the one hand on the protective sleeve and on the other hand on the reservoir.
  • the protective sleeve can have a circumferential groove and the reservoir can have a peripheral bead complementary thereto.
  • the circumferential groove and the protective sleeve have the peripheral bead complementarily shaped for this purpose.
  • the locking connection leads to a backup in particular a protective sleeve, which is compressed in the assembled state with small storage containers.
  • the protective sleeve can also be integrally formed on the reservoir. This is particularly desirable when the protective sleeve and the reservoir are made of the same plastic material.
  • Hook elements according to claim 7 allow a secure connection of the protective sleeve in the reservoir. As far as such hook elements are used, can be dispensed with a latching connection according to claim 6.
  • An embodiment of the hook elements according to claim 8 is inexpensive.
  • a stopper body according to claim 9 represents a simple measure for limiting the penetration depth of the applicator. Such a limitation can also be effected by a screw connection of the applicator, which is basically known from the prior art, to the reservoir.
  • a protective sleeve according to claim 10 advantageously combines several functions.
  • the protective sleeve can be made, for example, from a material which is harder than the other reservoir, and thus fulfill the function of a counter-stop body particularly well.
  • An applicator device 1 serves for applying a liquid medium, which is stored in a storage container 2.
  • the liquid medium may be a cosmetic medium, but also another medium, such. A correction fluid or an ink.
  • the reservoir 2 is made of plastic. Alternatively, it is possible to manufacture the storage container 2 made of glass or metal.
  • the applicator device 1 has an applicator 3, of which in the Fig. 1 only a lower portion, but not an upper portion is shown with an applicator handle.
  • the applicator 3 has at its end immersed in the reservoir 2 an applicator tip 4 for applying the Medium, which may for example be designed in the manner of a brush.
  • the applicator tip 4 can also be designed in the manner of a sponge or in any other manner suitable for applying the medium.
  • the applicator 3 surrounds in the reservoir 2, a protective sleeve 5.
  • the latter is made of plastic polypropylene (PP).
  • the protective sleeve 5 can also be made of polyoxymethylene (POM).
  • the protective sleeve 5 is connected in the region of an upper container wall 6 of the reservoir 2 via a latching connection 7 with the reservoir 2.
  • To the locking connection 7 includes a circumferential groove 8 in the protective sleeve 5, in which a complementary executed circumferential spring or circumferential bead 9, which is integrally formed on the upper container wall 6, engages.
  • the protective sleeve 5 predetermines an inlet opening for the penetration of the applicator 3 into the storage container 2. At this height can be integrally formed on an inner wall 10 of the protective sleeve 5, a sealing ring 11 which in the Fig. 1 The sealing ring 11 seals the inner wall 10 against an outer wall 12 of the applicator 3 from.
  • a penetration depth of the applicator 3 into the reservoir 2 is limited by a stop collar 13, which is firmly connected to the applicator 3 and can be integrally formed on this. In the deepest penetration position of the applicator 3, the stop collar 13 comes to rest on an upper end wall of the protective sleeve 5.
  • An inner diameter I s of the protective sleeve 5 is constant apart from the sealing ring 11.
  • the inner diameter I s in the region of the applicator tip 4 in the in the Fig. 1 shown lowest penetration constant.
  • This inner diameter I s is greater than the outer diameter A a of the immersed in the reservoir 2 and thus disposed within the protective sleeve 5 applicator third
  • the protective sleeve 5 extends to a bottom 14 of the storage container 2 and abuts this via a resilient sleeve portion 15.
  • An axial extent F s of the resilient sleeve portion 15 is in the position of the protective sleeve 5 after Fig. 1 in which the resilient sleeve portion 15 is almost completely spring-loaded, about half as long as the entire axial length L s of the protective sleeve 5. In this rebound position, the resilient sleeve portion 15 has extended spring gaps 16.
  • Fig. 3 shows the protective sleeve 5 more in detail.
  • the resilient sleeve portion 15 is integrally formed on a hollow cylindrical star section 17 of the protective sleeve 5.
  • the spring portion 15, so the resilient sleeve portion has a plurality, in the illustrated embodiment according to Fig. 3 a total of seven, spaced apart from each other via the spring interstices 16 and mutually elastically displaceable ring elements 18.
  • springs of the resilient sleeve portion 15 pivot adjacent ring elements 18 about fixed hinge axes 19, which are predetermined by the Anformungsabmalee two adjacent ring elements 18.
  • the protective sleeve 5 To rest on the ground 14, the protective sleeve 5 has an annular end collar 20.
  • FIG. 2 shows a further embodiment of an applicator device 1.
  • Components which correspond to those described above with reference to FIGS Fig. 1 and 3 have the same reference numbers and will not be discussed again in detail.
  • the applicator device 1 according to Fig. 2 differs from the one after Fig. 1 only by the height H of the reservoir 2. At the reservoir 2 after Fig. 1 This height H 1 is greater than the reservoir 2 after Fig. 2 (Height H 2 ).
  • the protective sleeve 5 has in the applicator 1 after the Fig. 1 and 2 the same function and ensures that the applicator tip 4 is protected.
  • an optionally provided in the reservoir 2 mixing ball 21 can not come into contact with the applicator tip 4 due to the protective sleeve 5 and deform it, since the size of the spring gaps 16 is smaller than the diameter of the mixing ball 21st
  • the resilient sleeve portion 15 is not integrally formed on the star section 17, but the resilient sleeve portion 15 is a separate spring which is connected to the star section 17.
  • the spring may, for example, be a metal spiral spring.
  • the entire protective sleeve 5 may be made of metal.
  • Embodiments for securing the protective sleeve 5 in the reservoir 2 are described below with reference to the 4 and 5 explained in more detail. Components which correspond to those described above with reference to Fig. 1 to 3 have already been described, bear the same reference numbers and will not be discussed again in detail.
  • a circumferential spring or circumferential bead 23 which is integrally formed in a height of the upper container wall 6 arranged portion of the protective sleeve 5.
  • Fig. 5 In the execution after Fig. 5 are on the rigid portion 17 of the protective sleeve 5 more, in the illustrated embodiment, three hook elements 24 integrally formed.
  • the three hook elements are arranged distributed in the circumferential direction about the longitudinal axis of the protective sleeve 5. Free ends of the hook elements 24 are inclined and in the assembled state of Protective sleeve 5 to the upper container wall 6 back from the star section 17.
  • the hook elements 24 engage behind in the Fig. 5
  • hook elements are provided on the type of hook elements 24, can on a tongue and groove locking connection, as above in connection with the 4 and 5 explained, be waived.
