DE1052649B - Device for storing and applying liquid or other spreadable fillings, in particular nail polish - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a device for storing and applying nail polish, which consists of a consists of a sealable container by screw cap and one exiting reversibly from the container opening Has application brush. Such devices are both rigid and elastically deformable Known container.

In the case of the devices with a rigid container, the extension and retraction of the is guided in a sleeve Brush achieved by tilting or re-erecting the container and the drainage of the nail polish after Dab the brush on the fingernail and push the brush back into the container. Here the brush shaft designed as a valve cone is vented and the container opening for the outlet of the Nail polish released.

The known nail polish applicators with an elastically deformable, tube-like design Containers have a storage that separates the tube and the tube neck for the likewise valve-like design Brush shaft. The brush is extended after removing the cap by applying pressure by hand on the tube body below a conical extension arranged on the brush shaft against a Compression spring in the direction of the tube neck while at the same time releasing the product connection path between Tube and brush.

Both the dosing of the material to be applied caused by dabbing the brush on the fingernail as well as the dimensioning of the leaking product, which is controlled by pressure cone and spring, is imprecise and inexpedient. In the first case, is the brush too soft or the brush shaft depending on how full the container is too heavy, the brush bends without opening the container and wetting the brush. In the second case a dosage of the nail polish is from the possibly completely filled one Tube neck not achievable because the metering valve is not at the tube outlet, but between the tube and Tube neck is arranged; refilling can only be carried out when the contents of the tube neck have been used up regulate the same and thus the brush wetting from the tube.

These disadvantages are avoided according to the invention by the brush by the at Pressure on the container becomes effective pressure of the filling material from the container opening into the working position is extended and held in it, but when the pressure on the container is released, through the resulting suction is retracted again.

In this way, an extremely fine and safe metering of the filling material is possible, which with the brush movement caused by pressure or suction.

According to the invention is fixed in the container opening sealed by a removable closure or a removable guide sleeve for the brush that protrudes into the container and is open on both sides, in which the brush slides with its shaft. To limit the brush movement are on stops are provided on both sides of the guide sleeve. Guide sleeve and container space are also through openings located above the upper edge of the completely retracted brush shaft connected to the Allow the filling material to enter and the brush to be wetted, but this happens when the brush shaft slides forward be closed by this.

An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawing. It shows

Fig. 1 a longitudinal section through the closed container with application device for liquids, with the brush sunk into the sleeve,

Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal section as before, but with an extended, ready-to-work brush, and

Fig. 3 is a side view of the closed container.

The elastically deformable container 2 , equipped with pressure bulges 1 and a rounded bottom, has at its opening 3 a guide sleeve 4 which protrudes into the container and is open on both sides, in which the shaft 5 and brush 6 are axially displaceable. The container is sealed by the removable closure 7. 8 To limit the brush movement, the guide sleeve has stops 41 and 42 on both sides. Above the upper edge of the completely retracted brush shaft, there are openings 44 in the guide sleeve

attached, which connect the general container space with the brush bristle receiving space of the guide sleeve. Handling and mode of operation of the subject matter of the invention are explained below: After removing the closure 8, the brush wetted with the filling material is extended by the pressure of the filling material on the brush shaft, which becomes effective when pressure is applied to the container, and is held in the working position when the pressure on the container is released the resulting suction is retracted again. This pressure and suction effect on the filling material and brush caused by the deformation of the container has been shown to still exist when, after the container has been largely emptied, the brush shaft is no longer completely surrounded by the filling material. Apparently, the excess pressure of the enclosed air on the filling material closing the container opening is then sufficient to move it together with the brush. As a result of the round bottom of the container, a horizontal storage of the device is inevitably ensured and thus direct wetting of the brush bristles is achieved through the openings 44 even when the container is largely empty and their hardening after prolonged unused storage is avoided. Patent claims: 1. Device for storing and applying liquid or other spreadable Filling goods, in particular nail polish, consisting of an elastically deformable container whose Opening is sealed by a removable closure, and one from the container opening reversibly exiting application brush, characterized in that the brush by the at Pressure on the container becomes effective pressure of the filling material from the container opening into the working position is extended and held in it when the pressure on the container is released but is retracted again by the resulting suction. 2. Apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that fixed or removable in the container opening a protruding into the container, open on both sides guide sleeve (4) is attached for the brush, in which the brush (6 ) slides with its shaft (5). 3. Apparatus according to claim 2, characterized in that stops (41, 42) are provided for limiting the brush movement in the guide sleeve (4) on both sides. 4. Apparatus according to claim 2, characterized in that in the guide sleeve (4) above the upper edge of the fully retracted brush shaft (5) lying openings (44) are attached, which thereby the general container space with the brush bristles (6) receiving space Connect the guide sleeve and thus enable the filling material to enter and the brush to be wetted, which, however, are closed by the brush shaft (5) sliding forward.
