Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
1. Field of the Invention The invention relates to an applicator for the application of cosmetic products and hair dye products such as mascara, the applicator comprising an oblong base body with a wand extension and a plurality of disc-like fitting elements which are arranged substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the base body at a distance from one another. 2. Background Art An applicator of the generic type is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,892,248. In this applicator, it is furthermore provided already that the discs are arranged asymmetrically relative to the base body in such a way that they stick out further on one side of the base body than on the other. Also, it is already known from EP 0 038 524 to injection-mold an envelope, which is made of a second material and carries the discs, around a core of a first material. Furthermore, this disclosure describes that the discs may be provided with recesses which are in line with each other in the longitudinal direction. Other applicators with disc-like fittings are known from EP 1 752 065 A1, U.S. Pat. No. 6,345,626 B1 and US 2002/0014251 A1. Expanding upon this, it is the object of the invention to design an applicator of the generic type in such a way as to optimize the transfer and application properties for the cosmetic product and, when used as a mascara applicator, to guarantee a reliable and defined separation of the lashes as well as an even application of color up to the tip of the lash. This object is achieved according to the invention that the fitting comprises at least two segments, in particular halves, whose fitting elements 4, 5 are arranged at different distances from each other when seen in the longitudinal direction. Seen in the circumferential direction, this produces a varying fitting density which causes excess mascara to be wiped off and thus removed from the lashes when the applicator is rolled along the lashes in a guided manner during the application. The fitting elements and the core of the applicator may be injection-molded as one piece from the same material or from different materials. In the second case, the core may consist of PP (polypropylene) and the fitting elements may consist of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), for example. The distance between the fitting elements, which are arranged at a smaller distance from each other, may amount to between 0.2 mm and 1.5 mm, preferably to approximately 0.6 mm. The distance between the fitting elements, which are arranged at a larger distance from each other, advantageously amounts to between 0.6 mm and 2.5 mm, preferably to approximately 0.9 mm. Likewise, an embodiment is conceivable in which the first fitting elements are injection-molded as one piece with a half of the base body and the second fitting elements are injection-molded as one piece with a second half of the base body and the two halves of the base body are connected with each other. Expanding upon this, it is conceivable as well for the halves of the base body to be connected with each other in one mold by means of two components (injection-molding). The first and/or second fitting elements advantageously comprise recesses which are in line with each other in the longitudinal direction, wherein the flanks of the recesses advantageously extend in the radial direction. The radially outer regions of the fitting elements may be provided with grooves which extend in the circumferential direction. The invention will hereinafter be described in more detail by means of a preferred embodiment in conjunction with the drawing.
