Benefits of technology

[0008]In that respect the invention is based on the surprisingly simple realisation that the use of a body which is not of a spherically symmetrical configuration as the mixing device leads to a better result upon shaking. In particular the required shaking time is shortened, with a given desired degree of homogenisation. Conversely, a given shaking time with an elongate mixing device leads to better homogenisation than with a ball.
[0016]In a further preferred feature according to the invention the mixing device can have at least one axial and / or radial opening. Such openings promote swirling movement and turbulence in the product upon being shaken and thus homogenisation thereof.

Problems solved by technology

Conventional storage devices have to be shaken for a comparatively long time until satisfactory homogenisation of the product occurs.

Embodiment Construction

[0028]The device shown in FIG. 1 includes a storage means 10 delimited by a wall 12 and a bottom 14. It has a screwthread 16 on to which a grip portion 18 can be screwed. When the grip portion 18 is screwed on to the screwthread 16 as shown in FIG. 1, an applicator device 20 is in the rest position. In that rest position it can be loaded with a cosmetic product in the storage means 10. The applicator device 20 is removed from the storage means 10 for applying the cosmetic product.

[0029]A mixing device 20 shown in FIG. 1 is in the form of a roller. Its end faces of which one is identified by way of example by reference 23 are cupola-shaped. The ratio of its longitudinal dimension L to its transverse dimension Q is about 4.5:1. Its longitudinal dimension L is also greater than the extent B of the bottom 14. On the other hand, its transverse dimension Q is less than the spacing A of the applicator device 20 in the rest position from the wall 12 of the storage means 10.

Abstract

A device for storing a fluid or gel-like cosmetic product, comprising a storage compartment for the product and an elongated mixing device which is freely movable in the storage compartment.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention concerns a device for storing a fluid or gel-like product, in particular a cosmetic product, comprising a storage means for the product and a mixing device which is freely movable in the storage means.[0002]Devices of the above-indicated kind are known. These involve for example what are referred to as DIP systems in which the product is removed from the storage means by means of an applicator device.[0003]As numerous relevant products have a tendency to separate out into the individual constituents of their mixture, the arrangement has the above-mentioned mixing device. Usually this involves a ball. When the device is shaken the ball moves through the product stored in the storage means, whereby a homogenising effect is produced.[0004]Conventional storage devices have to be shaken for a comparatively long time until satisfactory homogenisation of the product occurs.[0005]The object of the invention is to develop the device of the kind ...
