Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of application No. 202080035530.3, entitled “Makeup Pencil”, filed with the China Intellectual Property Office on May 25, 2020. Technical Field

[0002] The invention relates to a cosmetic pencil having a working end, a gripping area and a combing or brushing device. Background Art

[0003] The above-mentioned type of cosmetic pencil is known. Figure 1 . It has a brushing device attached to the end opposite to the working end. Therefore, if the brushing device is to be used after the working end has been used, the makeup pen must be rotated. This rotation greatly increases the difficulty of makeup work. Summary of the invention

[0004] It is therefore an object of the present invention to develop a pen of the above-mentioned type in such a way as to simplify its operation.

[0005] According to the invention, the set object is achieved by the combing or brushing device being located between the working end and the gripping area. In other words, the combing or brushing device is located on the same side of the hand holding the pen as the working end, which is why the pen does not have to be rotated when the brushing device is used after the working end has been used.

[0006] According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the combing or brushing device is movable in the axial direction. This design is particularly useful if the working end can be sharpened. In this way, the combing or brushing device can be moved to a suitable position according to the length reduced by sharpening. In this way, it can be located between the working end and the gripping area regardless of the length of the pen.

[0007] According to the invention, the combing or brushing device is also preferably kept rotationally fixed. This means that it can comb or brush by rotating around the longitudinal axis of the pen.

[0008] According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the combing or brushing device is hoop-shaped. In other words, the combing or brushing device or at least the supporting structure of the teeth or bristles of the brushing or combing device at least partially surrounds the pen so that the combing or brushing device is retained on the pen as a whole.

[0009] According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, combing or brushing device is pushed onto the penholder of pen.At this, the penholder of pen is understood to be the zone from the working end to the end opposite to the working end.

[0010] According to another preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the teeth and / or the bristles of the combing or brushing device are arranged in at least one row which surrounds the pen in an annular manner or which is parallel to the main axis of the pen.

[0011] Additionally or alternatively, it can be provided that the teeth and / or the bristles of the combing or brushing device are arranged in at least one row which circulates in a spiral around the pen.

[0012] The arrangement of the individual teeth and / or bristles can thus be optimally designed depending on the scope of application.

[0013] Finally, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that at least one element of the row has a plurality of teeth and / or bristles.

[0014] In other words, according to this design, it is provided that the teeth and / or bristles are arranged together in groups, wherein the individual groups are in turn arranged in at least one row. For example, these groups can be in the shape of "dots". BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a conventional cosmetic pen indicated as a whole by reference numeral 110, which has a working end 112, which is held in one hand to work with the working end 112. A brushing device 114 is located at the end opposite to the working end 112. The pen barrel portion located between the working end 112 and the brushing device 114 has a gripping area, which is indicated by reference numeral 116.

[0022] If you want to use the brushing device 114 to work, then Figure 1 The pen depicted in must correspond to Figure 1 b is rotated so that it follows Figure 1 The depiction in c is held.

[0023] In accordance with Figure 1 In the case of a conventional cosmetic pencil, the gripping area 116 is located between the working end 112 and the brushing device 114 .

[0024] Figure 2 An exemplary embodiment of a cosmetic pencil according to the present invention is shown. The cosmetic pencil as a whole is indicated by reference numeral 10. It has a working end 12, a brushing device 14 and a gripping area 16. However, unlike conventional cosmetic pencils, the gripping area 16 is not located between the working end 12 and the brushing device 14, but behind the brushing device 14 (seen from the working end 12). This means that if the brushing device 14 is to be used after the working end 12 has been used, the pencil does not have to be rotated.

[0025] Figure 3 Four further exemplary embodiments of a cosmetic pencil according to the invention are shown. Here, the brushing device 14 is respectively ferrule-shaped and - as in the embodiment according to Figure 2 In an exemplary embodiment of - is held rotationally fixed on the cosmetic pencil.

[0026] Figure 4 An exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown with a sharpenable working end 12. Here, Figure 4 a shows a makeup pencil before first use. Figure 4 b shows the situation after it has been sharpened several times. Figure 4 b's view is compared with that in Figure 4 a. In order to take into account the shortening of the pencil by sharpening, it is provided in this exemplary embodiment that the brushing device 14 is held in an axially movable manner, see arrow. This means that it can be located between the working end 12 and the gripping area 16, regardless of the overall length of the cosmetic pencil 10. It is again designed in the shape of a hoop.

[0027] In accordance with Figures 2 to 4 In the design, the brushing device shown in each case can also be designed as a combing device. Here, each bristle and / or tooth of the combing or brushing device can be arranged relative to each other in any desired mode.

[0028] However, in many cases it will be advantageous to arrange the bristles and / or teeth in at least one row that circulates helically around the pen 10. However, these rows can also be arranged in such a way that they circulate annularly around the pen or parallel to the pen main axis A ( Figure 4 ).

[0029] These rows can also be interrupted, such as according to Figure 5 Here, gaps are left between the rows of bristles or teeth that remain parallel to the main axis A of the pen, one of which is denoted by reference numeral 18, for example.

[0030] Figure 5 B shows an exemplary embodiment of a bundle 20 with several bristles, wherein several such bundles are distributed annularly around the pen. In other words, according to this embodiment, the bristles are grouped together to form "points", which in turn form a row that annularly surrounds the pen.

[0031] The features of the invention disclosed in the above description, the claims and the drawings may be essential, alone or in any combination, for the realization of the invention in its various embodiments.
