Definitions

  • the invention relates to a product and a method according to the first part of the independent claims.
  • nail polish, nail hardeners, cuticle removers, top and bottom varnishes as well as other care products and pharmaceutical products are typically bottled in 5-15 ml glass bottles.
  • two stainless steel balls are added to the pigment-containing paints in order to suspend sedimented dyes and to reduce the higher viscosity of thixotropic paints in the idle phase, as appropriate for the application.
  • the plastic lid has a small application brush on the underside, which is dipped into the paint when the bottle is closed. When the vessel is screwed on, the lid serves as a brush handle and to apply the liquid to the nail.
  • An overview of manufacturing processes and compositions is provided, for example UMBACH, Wilfried. Cosmetics and hygiene. 3rd edition. Weinheim: Wiley-VCH, 2004. ISBN 3527309969. S.332 ff .
  • DE 4428275 A (ESCHMANN RONALD [DE]; ESCHMANN BARBARA [DE]) 02/15/1996 relates to a bottle with a brush and screw cap, which consists of a thread attached to the upper end of the bottle which meshes with a thread arranged on the other part, with the upper one between A seal is provided on the edge of the bottle and the lid, and the free end of the brush is connected to a seal which, under the influence of a spring or the bottle lid, makes a seal against the upper edge of the bottle, and the length of the brush from the brush tip to the seal essentially corresponds to the distance between the edge of the bottle and the bottom of the bottle.
  • the claimed invention is disclosed below in such a way that the technical problem on which it is based is correctly assessed and its Solution can be understood.
  • the bottle In order to reach the contents better, the bottle has to be tilted to rewet the brush or the cap has to be screwed completely onto the bottle neck in order to bridge its length. Both measures are hardly practicable and by no means make it possible to use the entire content.
  • the contents of a bottle according to the invention can be removed almost completely with a brush without repeatedly tilting the bottle or unscrewing its closure.
  • the volume of the bottle can be reduced as the fill level decreases so that little air remains in the bottle when it is closed again.
  • illustration 1 shows a bottle according to the invention in two different configurations. These should offer the possibility of accessing the entire contents despite the thread and of displacing the air flowing into the bottle when removing nail polish.
  • the bottle comprises a glass body (11) with a conventional thread for opening and closing the bottle.
  • the body (11) instead of a glass bottom, the body (11) has a circular opening in the present embodiment.
  • the bottom (12) of the bottle forms a two-part system, which in the present case consists of hard plastic.
  • the plastic floor is characterized by a two-part screw system. This system allows the inner counter-rotating element (122) to be guided into the body (11) by simply turning an externally accessible plastic ring (121). This reduces the volume inside the body (11).
  • the paint contained therein is conveyed upwards in the direction of the brush (14) when the base (12) is turned, as shown in the illustration.
  • a thin hard rubber plate (13) is attached to the movable plastic element and runs flush with the interior of the body (11). This plate (13) pushes the paint reliably and without leaking upwards.
  • the rod with the brush (14) attached in the screw cap is shortened in contrast to conventional bottles in order to enable the bottom (12) to be pushed up so that the brush (14) reaches the paint in the best possible way.
  • the rod is just long enough that the base (12) screwed completely into the body (11) touches the tip of the brush (14).
  • the transition (21) between the body and the floor is sealed so that no air can penetrate or paint can escape via the latter.
  • the ring (22) can be turned and the inner element (23) can be pushed upwards without any problems.
  • the height of the ring (22) corresponds to the distance by which the floor is to be screwed up. If the bottle is in the initial state, the element (23) is flush within the ring (22). By rotating it, the element (23) is pushed upwards as shown in the illustration.
  • the counter-rotating thread can be turned back to get the floor back into its Bring the starting position. Through the thread, the element can be moved towards the brush or away from it with millimeter precision.
  • the inner element (23) of the rotating mechanism is a solid hard plastic cylinder with an external thread. This thread complements the internal thread of the rotatable ring (22).
  • a sealing rubber or soft plastic plate (24) connects the surface of the element (23) protruding into the bottle with the wall of the bottle.
  • This flexible plate (24) forms the interface between the paint and the rotating mechanism and serves as a seal. It does not chemically react with nail polish. When the element (23) is screwed up, the outer edge of the plate (24) yields slightly and pushes any paint residue on the inner wall of the bottle upwards.
  • FIG. 3 serves as an illustration.
  • transition (31) between body and floor is also sealed here so that no air can penetrate or paint can escape.
  • body and ring (32) are rigidly connected to one another here.
  • the height of the ring (32) also corresponds to the distance by which the floor is to be screwed up. If the bottle is in the initial state, the element (33) is also here flush within the ring (32) surrounding it. However, its inner surface is provided here with flexible lamellae, which connect precisely and airtight with the element (33).
  • the inner element (33) of the rotating mechanism is a solid hard plastic cylinder with external soft lamellae that interact with the lamellae of the ring (32) as a flexible seal. By pressing against the element (33) from below, this can be moved piece by piece in the direction of the brush and screw cap. Here, the paint is also conveyed upwards through a soft rubber plate (34) as shown in the illustration.
  • This flexible plate (34) forms the interface between the paint and the rotating mechanism and serves as a seal. It does not chemically react with nail polish. When screwing up the element (33) gives the outer edge of the plate (34) and pushes any paint residue on the inner wall of the bottle upwards. In this way, the entire content can be moved to the brush without leaving any residue.
  • Figure 4 shows a bottle according to a third embodiment in two different configurations. These should offer the possibility of accessing the entire contents despite the thread and of displacing the air flowing into the bottle when removing nail polish.
  • This bottle also comprises a glass body (41) with a conventional thread for opening and closing the bottle.
  • the body (41) has a circular opening instead of a glass bottom.
  • a two-part hard plastic system forms the bottom (42) of the bottle. Slipping the body (41) onto the outer ring (422) of the two-part base (42) closes the bottle airtight. The glass edge of the body (41) sits flush on the lower edge (43) and is sealed there.
  • the plastic base (42) is characterized by a two-part screw or pressure system. This system makes it possible, by simply turning the inner element (421) into the body (41), to convey the paint contained therein upwards in the direction of the brush (44) as shown in the illustration. This reduces the volume inside the body (41).
  • a thin hard rubber plate (431) is attached to the movable plastic element and is flush with the interior of the body (41). This plate (431) pushes the paint reliably and without leaking upwards.
  • the rod with the brush (44) fastened in the screw cap is shortened in contrast to conventional bottles in order to enable the bottom (42) to be pushed up so that the brush (44) reaches the paint in the best possible way.
  • the rod is just long enough that the base (42) screwed completely into the body (41) touches the tip of the brush (44).
  • the ring (422) has a diameter adapted to the body (41).
  • the body (41) can thus be fitted onto the ring (422) with an exact fit.
  • a mating thread for the element (421) is provided on its inside.
  • the foot or lower edge (43) of the base (42) adapts to the thickness of the glass and thus allows it to be connected to the body (41).
  • the movable element (421) of the construction is embedded precisely in the ring (422) by means of a thread.
  • the height of this thread determines the distance by which the element (421) can be moved within the body (41) in order to transport the paint in the direction of the brush (44) and screw cap. This is done by turning or pushing.
  • the element (421) can be guided deeper into the body (41) in a user-friendly manner using recessed grips (45) or, in the case of a rotating mechanism, unscrewed again.
  • the plate (431) in contact with the lacquer consists of a non-reactive substance.
  • the plate (431) is used to completely transport the paint from the starting point in the direction of the bottle opening.
  • Figure 6 shows a bottle according to a fourth embodiment in two different configurations. These should offer the possibility of accessing the entire contents despite the thread and of displacing the air flowing into the bottle when removing nail polish.
  • This bottle also comprises a glass body (51) with a conventional thread for opening and closing the bottle.
  • the body (51) has a circular opening instead of a glass bottom.
  • the bottom (52) of the bottle comprises a cylindrical hard plastic element (522). Placing the body (51) on the base (52) closes the bottle airtight in the same step. The glass edge of the body (51) sits flush on the lower edge (53).
  • the plastic base (52) comprises a sealing lip (521) which runs around the body (51) and serves as a standing surface in the initial state, which is flexible on the element (522). is formed so that this pushes the plate (531) towards the brush (54) when it is pressed into the body (51) together with the sealing lip (521). This reduces the volume inside the body (51).
  • the lacquer contained therein is conveyed upwards in the direction of the brush (54) when the bottom (52) is pressed.
  • the rod with the brush (54) fastened in the screw cap is shortened in order to enable the bottom (52) to be pushed up so that the brush (54) reaches the paint in the best possible way.
  • the rod is just long enough that the base (52) screwed completely into the body (51) touches the tip of the brush (54).
  • the in Figure 7 The bottom part shown is characterized by its accuracy of fit with respect to the body (51) and its flexibility when manually pressing on its underside.
  • the element (522) prevents air from entering the body (51).
  • the volume and fit of the element (522) are selected so that no uneven displacement of the base (52) into the body (51) is possible.
  • the soft plastic or molded onto the element (522) When the element (522) is pushed in, the rubber lip (521) hugs the inner surface of the body (51) and ensures that the paint is secured and completely transported.
  • the element (522) can be continuously conveyed along its longitudinal axis in the direction of the brush (54) by manual pressure.
  • a small projection on the inside of the body (51) forms a stop so that the base (52) cannot damage the brush (54).
  • Figure 11 shows two glass bodies joined together.
  • the lower body as shown in the illustration has the shape of a drinking glass, that is to say a base with a straight cylindrical glass wall that closes evenly and reveals a circular opening. Around this opening lies a flexible sealing ring that scrapes the paint off the inner wall of the second body.
  • the shape of the upper body as shown in the illustration corresponds to a conventional nail polish bottle without a bottom.
  • the diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the lower body.
  • This upper body is placed on top of the lower body.
  • the space between the two bodies is sealed by lamellae, which are attached in a circle at short intervals on the edge of the two glasses and function in opposite directions.
  • the outside of the lower body is evenly spaced with slats.
  • the slats cover a third of the outer wall.
  • the inside of the upper body is provided with lamellae at regular intervals, which spatially complement the complementary shaped lamellae of the lower body. In this way, an ideal seal can be achieved even when the internal volume is reduced.
  • the volume of the bottle can be reduced by inserting the lower body into the upper body.
  • the lamellas define the distances at which the two bodies can be pushed, screwed or otherwise guided into one another in steps.
  • An optional thread made of soft material allows both bodies to be twisted into one another in order to reduce the volume inside.
  • the invention can be used, for example, in manufacturing.
