Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf eine Farbkosmetik-Einheit, insbesondere eine Mascara-Einheit, umfassend einen Behälter für die Farbkosmetik und eine auf ein Außengewinde des Behälterhalses aufschraubbare Schraubkappe, in welcher ein Stiel mit einem Applikator befestigt ist.The invention is directed to a color cosmetic unit, in particular a mascara unit comprising a container for the color cosmetics and a screw cap that can be screwed onto an external thread of the container neck, in which a stem is attached with an applicator.

Derartige Mascara-Einheiten sind beispielsweise bekannt aus DE 197 44 181 A1, DE 42 16 525 A1 sowie DE 198 32 403.Such mascara units are known, for example, from DE 197 44 181 A1, DE 42 16 525 A1 and DE 198 32 403.

Die DE 44 16 448 beschreibt eine technische Lösung zur exakten Positionierung der Schraubkappe relativ zu dem Behälterhals.DE 44 16 448 describes a technical solution for exact positioning the screw cap relative to the neck of the container.

Aus DE 195 08 836 ist es bekannt, eine Schraubkappe so auszugestalten, daß beim Zuschrauben nach Erreichen der Endposition ein spürbarer und hörbarer Klick-Effekt auftritt.From DE 195 08 836 it is known to design a screw cap that when screwing on after reaching the end position a noticeable and audible click effect occurs.

Bei einer Farbkosmetikeinheit der in Betracht stehenden Art kann es sich beispielsweise um ein Haarfärbemittel, um eine Nagellack-Einheit oder eine Mascara-Einheit handeln. Nachfolgend wird beispielhaft im wesentlichen von einer Mascara-Einheit gesprochen.In the case of a color cosmetic unit of the type in question, it can be for example a hair dye, a nail polish unit or trade a mascara unit. The following is essentially an example spoken of a mascara unit.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Gebrauchs- und Handhabungseigenschaften einer solchen Farbkosmetikeinheit zu verbessern, insbesondere ein optimales Öffnen und Schließen zu erzielen, wobei gleichwohl eine kostengünstige spritz- und blastechnische Herstellbarkeit gewährleistet sein soll. The invention is based, the use and handling properties the task to improve such a color cosmetic unit, in particular to achieve an optimal opening and closing, nevertheless a cost-effective injection and blow molding manufacturability guaranteed should be.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das Gewinde am Behälterhals eine Steigung von größer als 2 mm, insbesondere ca. 3 mm, aufweist, wobei das Gewinde vorzugweise einen Gewindegang umfaßt.This object is achieved in that the thread on Container neck an incline of greater than 2 mm, in particular approximately 3 mm, has, the thread preferably comprising a thread.

Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird erreicht, daß die Benutzerin zum Öffnen und Schließen der Einheit nicht umgreifen muß, sondern die einmal erfaßte Schraubkappe durch eine einzige Drehung öffnen oder schließen kann, weil eine Öffnung bereits mit einer halben oder dreiviertel Umdrehung möglich ist. Weiterhin ermöglicht es ein derart steiles Gewinde, den Abstand zwischen dem unteren Rand der Schraubkappe und der Schulter des Behälters praktisch gegen Null zu bringen.This configuration ensures that the user can open it and closing of the unit does not have to encompass, but the one that has been grasped Screw cap can open or close by a single turn because opening is possible with a half or three-quarter turn is. Furthermore, such a steep thread enables the distance between the bottom of the screw cap and the shoulder of the container to bring practically to zero.

Um einen derartigen Behälter mit einem solchen steilen Gewinde formtechnisch herstellen zu können, ist vorgesehen, daß das Gewinde im Bereich der Mittellängsebene des Behälters entsprechend der Formtrennebene beiderseits Unterbrechungen aufweist. Vorzugweise wird das Gewinde also durch einen Gewindegang mit zwei sich um 180° gegenüberliegenden Unterbrechungen realisiert.In terms of shape, around such a container with such a steep thread To be able to manufacture, it is provided that the thread in the area the central longitudinal plane of the container corresponding to the mold separation plane shows interruptions on both sides. The thread is therefore preferred through a thread with two interruptions 180 ° opposite each other realized.

Günstigerweise ist dabei vorgesehen, daß auch - als solche an sich bekannte - Drehbegrenzungsanschläge im Bereich dieser Unterbrechungen angeordnet sind, was es ermöglicht, für diese Drehbegrenzungsanschläge eine optimale Formgebung vorzusehen, wobei die Herstellung trotzdem einfach ist. Conveniently, it is provided that - also known as such - Rotation limit stops arranged in the area of these interruptions are what makes it possible for these limit stops to be optimal To provide shape, but the manufacture is still simple is.

Das Gewinde bzw. die Gewindeabschnitte sind vorzugsweise als asymmetrisches Trapezgewinde ausgebildet, wobei die zur Behälter-Öffnung hin orientierte Flanke des Gewindes flacher ist als die gegenüberliegende Flanke. Hierdurch wird ein hoher Schließdruck erzielt.The thread or the thread sections are preferably as asymmetrical Trapezoidal thread formed, the towards the container opening oriented flank of the thread is flatter than the opposite flank. As a result, a high closing pressure is achieved.

An der Innenseite des Behälterhalses kann eine Ringnut vorgesehen sein zur Aufnahme eines Ringwulstes, der an der Außenseite einer in den Behälterhals einsetzbaren Abstreifeinrichtung ausgebildet ist.An annular groove can be provided on the inside of the container neck for receiving a ring bead on the outside of one in the container neck usable stripping device is formed.

Erfindungsgemäß kann ein grob koextusionsgeblasener Behälter vorgesehen sein mit einer Innenschicht aus einem Materialgemisch von LDPE und HDPE, einer Mittelschicht aus EVOH und einer Außenschicht aus einem Materialgemisch von LDPE und HDPE. Durch diese Materialauswahl werden optimale Barriereeigenschaften erzielt.According to the invention, a roughly coextrusion-blown container can be provided be with an inner layer of a material mixture of LDPE and HDPE, a middle layer made of EVOH and an outer layer made of one Material mix of LDPE and HDPE. Through this choice of materials optimal barrier properties achieved.

Grundsätzlich kann für den Behälter auch PVC (Polyvinylchlorid), PET (Polyethylenterephthalat), Polypropylen, Polyamid und Polyethylen verwendet werden. Die Schraubkappe kann aus Poypropylen, POM (Polyoximethylen), ABS (Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol-Copolymere) oder Polyethylen bestehen. Für eine Übersteckkappe für die Schraubkappe kann das Material Polypropylen, Polyamid, ABS und SAN (Styrol-Acrylnitril-Copolymere) angesetzt werden.In principle, PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PET can also be used for the container (Polyethylene terephthalate), polypropylene, polyamide and polyethylene are used become. The screw cap can be made of polypropylene, POM (Polyoxymethylene), ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers) or Polyethylene exist. For a push-on cap for the screw cap the material polypropylene, polyamide, ABS and SAN (styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers) can be scheduled.

Die Wanddicke des Behälters kann zwischen 0,3 und 5,0 mm liegen. Letztlich kann noch vorgesehen sein, daß der Innendurchmesser des Behälterhalses sich zum unteren Ende des Behälterhalses hin konusartig verjüngt, wobei die Abstreifeinrichtung in diesen Konus eingesetzt ist. The wall thickness of the container can be between 0.3 and 5.0 mm. Ultimately can also be provided that the inside diameter of the container neck tapers conically towards the lower end of the container neck, the scraper device being inserted into this cone.

Bei einer anderen bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß der Behälter aus glasklarem Polyamid besteht. In diesem Zusammenhang können Wandstärken von 6 bis 25 mm verwendet werden, wobei durch derart hohe Wandstärken bei einem glasklaren Material eine ganz besondere optische Anmutung erzielt wird.In another preferred embodiment it is provided that the Container made of clear polyamide.
