Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf ein Mascara-Bürstchen umfassend eine Seele aus verdrillten Drahtabschnitten, zwischen welchen eine Mehrzahl von Borsten festgelegt ist, die sich von der Seele wegerstreckt, wobei ein mit Borsten nicht besetztes freies Ende der Seele mit einem Stiel verbunden ist.The invention is directed to a mascara brush comprising a core of twisted wire sections between which is fixed a plurality of bristles which extend away from the core, with a bristle unoccupied free end of the core connected to a shaft.

Derartige Mascara-Bürstchen dienen dazu, Mascara-Flüssigkeit aus einem Vorratsbehälter auf die Augenwimpern der Benutzerin zu transferieren. Dabei ist es wichtig, daß die Bürstchen einerseits eine gute Transferkapazität besitzen und andererseits hinreichende Kämm- und Separationseigenschaften, wenn mittels der Bürstchen die Mascara-Flüssigkeit aufgetragen wird.Such mascara brushes serve to transfer mascara liquid from a reservoir onto the user's eyelashes. It is important that the brushes on the one hand have a good transfer capacity and on the other hand sufficient combing and separation properties when the mascara liquid is applied by means of the brush.

Zur Optimierung und Individualisierung der Eigenschaften derartiger Mascara-Bürstchen ist es bekannt, unterschiedliches Borstenmaterial oder Mischungen unterschiedlicher Borsten zu verwenden.To optimize and individualize the properties of such mascara brushes, it is known to use different bristle material or mixtures of different bristles.

Aus der DE 44 46 521 A1 sind Mascara-Bürstchen bekannt, bei welchen die Seele ösenartig gebogen ist.From DE 44 46 521 A1 mascara brushes are known in which the soul is bent like an eye.

Die DE 38 35 843 A1 beschreibt ein Mascara-Bürstchen mit Fasern, die durch Auslösen eines Bindemittels aufspaltbar sind.DE 38 35 843 A1 describes a mascara brush with fibers which can be split by triggering a binder.

In DE 198 47 733 ist ein Bürstchen offenbart, bei welchem die Hüllkurve der Borstenspitzen an der konvex vorgewölbten Seite des Seele im Längsschnitt annähernd kreisbogenabschnittförmig und an der konkav zurückspringenden Seite der Seele wenigstens längs einer Schnittlinie annähernd linear ist.In DE 198 47 733 a brush is disclosed in which the envelope of the bristle tips on the convexly bulging side of the soul in longitudinal section approximately circular arc portion-shaped and at the concave recessed side of the soul at least along a section line is approximately linear.

Die DE 296 18 479 U beschreibt ein Mascara-Bürstchen, bei welchem die Borsten so beschnitten sind, daß sie einerseits im Querschnitt gesehen derart asymmetrisch sind, daß sich zur einen Seite die Borsten von den verdrillten Drahtabschnitten kürzer und zur anderen Seite weiter weg erstrekken, und daß andererseits im Längsschnitt gesehen die Borsten ebenfalls asymmetrisch derart beschnitten sind, daß sie unterschiedliche Längen aufweisen.DE 296 18 479 U describes a mascara brush in which the bristles are cut so that, on the one hand, they are asymmetrical in cross-section such that, on the one hand, the bristles extend shorter from the twisted wire sections and farther away towards the other side, and on the other hand, seen in longitudinal section, the bristles are also asymmetrically trimmed to have different lengths.

Aus der DE 93 16 562 U ist ein Bürstchen bekannt, bei dem die durch die verdrillten Drahtabschnitte gebildete Bürstenseele in sich nochmals verdrillt ist, so daß ein zylindrischer innerer Hohlraum vorliegt.From DE 93 16 562 U a brush is known in which the brush core formed by the twisted wire sections is twisted in again, so that a cylindrical inner cavity is present.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Mascara-Bürstchen zu schaffen, welches ein neuartiges, ansprechendes Design aufweist und bisher nicht bekannte Applikationsmöglichkeiten eröffnet.The invention has for its object to provide a mascara brush, which has a novel, attractive design and opened previously unknown application options.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Draht-Seele eine wellenförmige Konfiguration aufweist.This object is achieved in that the wire core has a wavy configuration.

Hierdurch wird zum einen beim Drehen des noch im Vorratsbehälter befindlichen Bürstchens ein ausgeprägter Rühreffekt erzeugt, der zu einer Vergleichmäßigung und Aufrührung der Pigmente in der Mascara-Flüssigkeit führt. Zum anderen wird während des Auftrag- und Kämmvorganges erreicht, daß die Wimpern von den Borsten aus unterschiedlichen Winkeln beaufschlagt werden und dementsprechend ein sehr gleichmäßiger Auftrag der Mascara-Flüssigkeit erfolgt.In this way, on the one hand when turning the brush still in the reservoir a pronounced stirring effect is generated, which leads to a homogenization and agitation of the pigments in the mascara liquid. On the other hand, during the application and combing process ensures that the eyelashes are acted upon by the bristles from different angles and, accordingly, a very uniform application of the mascara liquid.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, daß die Mittellängsachse der Wellenkonfiguration versetzt ist gegen die Mittellängsachse des Stiels.In a further embodiment of the invention can be provided that the central longitudinal axis of the shaft configuration is offset from the central longitudinal axis of the stem.

Eine andere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung sieht vor, daß die Borsten an dem freien Ende des Bürstchens sich halbkreisförmig zu beiden Seiten der Mittellängsachse wegerstrecken.Another advantageous embodiment provides that the bristles at the free end of the brush extend semicircular on both sides of the central longitudinal axis.

Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch realisiert werden, daß die Seele am freien Ende nach hinten auf den Stiel zu umgebogen ist.This can for example be realized in that the soul is bent over at the free end to the rear of the stem.

Weiterhin kann vorgesehen sein, daß der Abschnitt der Seele zwischen Stiel und Bürstenbesatz gegenüber der Längsachse um einen spitzen oder stumpfen Winkel bzw. um 90° gebogen ist, wobei die Längsachse des Besatzes selbst sich parallel zur Längsachse des Stiels erstreckt.Furthermore, it can be provided that the portion of the core between the handle and brush trim with respect to the longitudinal axis is bent at an acute or obtuse angle or 90 °, wherein the longitudinal axis of the trim itself extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of the stem.

Die Erfindung richtet sich auch auf eine Mascara-EinheitThe invention is also directed to a mascara unit

Bei einer solchen Mascara-Einheit ist mit Vorteil vorgesehen, daß diese ein Mascara-Bürstchen der vorstehend beschriebenen Art und einen Behälter zur Aufnahme von Mascara-Flüssigkeit, in welchen das Bürstchen eintaucht, umfasst, wobei wenigstens ein Teil der Borsten des Besatzes des Bürstchens im eingetauchtenIn such a mascara unit is advantageously provided that it comprises a mascara brush of the type described above and a container for receiving mascara liquid in which the brush is immersed, wherein at least a portion of the bristles of the stocking of the brush in submerged

Zustand die Innenwand des Behälters berührt. Es kann auf diese Weise ein Umrühr- und Abstreifeffekt realisiert werden.Condition touches the inner wall of the container. It can be realized in this way a stirring and stripping effect.

Der Behälter kann einen Durchmesser zwischen 9,0 mm und 18,0 mm und eine Länge von 25 mm bis 80 mm aufweisen.The container may have a diameter between 9.0 mm and 18.0 mm and a length of 25 mm to 80 mm.

Es kann vorteilhafterweise vorgesehen sein, daß der Behälter einen nichtrunden Querschnitt aufweist und die runde Umhüllende der Querschnittskonfiguration des Behälters einen Durchmesser von 9 mm bis 25 mm besitzt.It can be advantageously provided that the container has a non-circular cross-section and the round envelope of the cross-sectional configuration of the container has a diameter of 9 mm to 25 mm.

Der Behälter kann in Längsrichtung gesehen unterschiedliche Querschnitte aufweisen, wobei die kreisförmigen Umhüllenden einen Durchmesser von 5 mm bis 18 mm aufweisen.The container may have different cross sections when viewed in the longitudinal direction, the circular envelopes having a diameter of 5 mm to 18 mm.

Bei einer weiteren Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, daß die Längsachse des Bürstenbesatzes eine derartige Neigung relativ zur Längsachse des Stiels und damit zur Behälterlängsachse aufweist, daß der Besatz parallel zu einem Innenwandabschnitt des Behälters an diesem im eingetauchten Zustand des Bürstchens anliegend angeordnet ist.In a further embodiment, it is provided that the longitudinal axis of the brush attachment has such an inclination relative to the longitudinal axis of the handle and thus to the container longitudinal axis that the trim is arranged adjacent to an inner wall portion of the container at this in the immersed state of the brush.

Zwischen den verdrillten Drahtabschnitten sind Borsten 3 eingeklemmt, welche radial nach außen wegstehen. In den in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen sind die Borsten büschelartig angeordnet, wobei in der Regel allerdings eine gleichmäßige Borstenverteilung längs der verdrillten Drahtabschnitte vorgesehen ist.Between the twisted wire sections bristles 3 are clamped, which protrude radially outward. In the embodiments shown in the drawing, the bristles are tuft-like, but usually a uniform bristle distribution along the twisted wire sections is provided.

Die Seele 2 ist gewellt ausgebildet, d. h. sie ist mit Ausbauchungen 4 versehen, welche sich in unterschiedliche Richtungen erstrecken.The soul 2 is formed wavy, d. H. it is provided with bulges 4, which extend in different directions.

Die Seele 2 weist ein freies Ende 5 auf, welches nicht mit Borsten besetzt ist und welches in einem Stiel 6 befestigt ist.The core 2 has a free end 5, which is not occupied by bristles and which is fixed in a handle 6.

Die Mittellängsachse 7 des Stiels definiert eine Mittellängsachse des gesamten Bürstchens 1, wobei die Seele 2 relativ zu dieser Mittellängsachse - in Fig. 1 nach unten - versetzt verläuft, so daß die die Wellentäler verbindende Gerade 8 einen Abstand a von der Mittellängsachse 7 aufweist.The central longitudinal axis 7 of the handle defines a central longitudinal axis of the entire brush 1, wherein the core 2 relative to this central longitudinal axis - In Fig. 1 down - staggered, so that the troughs connecting straight line 8 has a distance a from the central longitudinal axis 7.

Bei der in Fig. 2 dargestellten Ausführungsform ist die Seele 2 an ihrem dem Stiel 6 abgewandten Ende um einen Krümmungsmittelpunkt 10, der einen Abstand b von der Mittellängsachse 7 aufweist und in der Zeichnung oberhalb derselben liegt, um etwa 200° umgebogen, so daß ein halbkreisförmiger Abschnitt 11 von radial nach außen stehenden Borsten ausgebildet wird.In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, the soul 2 is at its end remote from the handle 6 to a center of curvature 10, which has a distance b from the central longitudinal axis 7 and in the drawing above the same, bent by about 200 °, so that a semicircular portion 11 is formed by radially outwardly projecting bristles.
