Abstract

A system comprising a, in particular cosmetic, flow-through applicator (170), a two-component cartridge, and a static mixer which is arranged between the two-component cartridge and the flow-through applicator (170).

Description

The present invention relates to a system comprising an in particular cosmetic flow applicator, a two-component cartridge, and a static mixer which is arranged between the two-component cartridge and the flow applicator.This application may be carried out using applicators for applying makeup or other substances (hereinafter called "pasty or flowable substance") such as medicaments to skin, hair or mucous membranes, for example in the interior of the nose. They are first dipped into the substance to be applied. In this case, they usually take up a part of the substance to be applied with their bristles or their outer circumferential surface. When the applicator is then pulled out of the substance, it must store the picked-up substance until it is applied to the desired location with rotating and sweeping movements.In order for a conventional applicator to be able to pick up and store the substance to be applied, its outer circumferential surface is generally flocked. As a result, the applicator obtains a texture in the depressions of which the substance to be applied is stored as a function of its viscosity and surface or boundary surface tension. However, this flocking process is relatively complex and time consuming. In order to flocking an applicator, the surface to be flocked must first be provided with an adhesive layer. Then, the flock fibers are applied to the wet adhesive and the adhesive must cure. Furthermore, flocked applicators can generally only absorb substances having a relatively high viscosity.Furthermore, the depressions produced by flocking are generally relatively weak. Accordingly, only a thin film of substance can be absorbed. Dispensing the substance upon deformation of the applicator is also often difficult.Also, such containers of substances are often not sufficiently sealed from the environment, so that the substances may be subjected to unnecessary aging effects.In general, it can be stated that there are hitherto no usable applicators which store the mass therein and release it again as soon as it is deformed as intended on account of its deformation.In the light of the above, the object is to specify an applicator in which mass can be stored more reliably and is in turn dispensed more correctly.According to the invention, this problem is solved by the features of claim 1.Such a system comprises a cosmetic flow applicator, a two-component cartridge, and a static mixer, which is arranged between the two-component cartridge and the flow applicator.By using a two-component cartridge as a reservoir for cosmetic applications, for example, materials can be stored for a longer period of time; also, such a material can be applied more specifically even with thicker and thinner layer thicknesses, since the substance can be applied better by means of the flow applicator. In addition, the substance with its exact composition can be discharged through the static mixer in order to achieve the best possible treatment results.The flow applicator can be couplable to the static mixer in a releasable manner. In this case, various flow applicators can be used for different skin sections in one and the same patient.The flow applicator can be couplable to the static mixer via an interface. In this case, it can be made easier for a user to switch between flow applicators.The interface may comprise a snap fit, a bayonet fit, a thread, a press fit, or a friction fit. By means of such interfaces, a flow applicator can be easily detachably coupled to the static mixer.The static mixer can be couplable to the cartridge in a releasable manner. In this case, a static mixer used can be exchanged between different sessions in the simplest way.The static mixer can be couplable to the cartridge via a connecting structure. In this case, it can be made easier for a user to change between static mixers.The connection structure may comprise a snap fit, a bayonet fit, a thread, a press fit, a plug and slide connection, or a friction fit. For example, the use of a plug-and-slide connection makes it possible to easily replace a static mixer; in addition, the substance stored in the cartridge is better protected against environmental influences by a valve in connection structures of this type,Alternatively, the static mixer may be non-detachably connected to the cartridge. This is particularly helpful in applications since such a system can be produced particularly cost-effectively.The flow applicator may comprise a plurality of bristles. For example, between 10 and 150 such bristles may be used. By means of bristles, substances can be applied particularly easily to a patient.Typically, such bristles may have a Shore hardness in the range of 25 to 95, in particular 40 to 60, measured on the Shore hardness scale A. Such bristles are particularly soft and flexible.The flow applicator may include a flexible outlet. By means of flexible outlets, substances can be applied particularly easily to a patient, since the outlet can adapt to the surface of the skin of a patient.The flexible outlet may have a Shore hardness in the range of 25 to 95, in particular 40 to 60, measured on the Shore hardness scale A. Such outlets are designed to be particularly soft and flexible.The flow applicator may include a rigid outlet. By means of a rigid outlet, particularly viscous substances can be better applied.The rigid outlet may have a Shore hardness in the range of 45 to 100, in particular 50 to 95, measured on the Shore hardness scale D. Such hard outlets are particularly suitable for viscous substances.The flow applicator may have a cannula outlet. Such cannula outlets are particularly suitable for point-like applications.The cannula outlet can have a Shore hardness in the range of 25 to 95, in particular 40 to 60, measured on the Shore hardness scale A. By means of such cannula outlets, the positioning of the outlet can be accomplished particularly accurately.The cannula outlet may have an outlet opening with an inner diameter in the range of 0.2 mm to 3 mm. By means of such cannula outlets, the discharge of the substance can be accomplished particularly accurately.The flow applicator may have one or more outlet openings. A suitable flow applicator can be provided for different substances.The flow applicator can have a plurality of outlet openings. Such applicators are particularly suitable for low viscosity substances.The plurality of outlet openings may be of different sizes. Alternatively, the plurality of outlet openings may be the same size. In this case, the substance can be applied particularly accurately to the patient.The plurality of outlet openings may have different outlet cross sections. Alternatively, the plurality of outlet openings may have equal outlet cross sections. In this case, the substance can be applied particularly accurately to the patient.The one or more outlet openings of the flow applicator can have a round, angular, rectangular, triangular and / or oval cross section. In this case, the substance can be applied particularly accurately to the patient.The flow applicator may have a beveled outlet. Alternatively or additionally, the flow applicator may have a V-shaped outlet. In this case, the substance can be applied particularly accurately to the patient.The flow applicator can be made of a plastic, silicone, metal, TPE, or PU foam. In this case, flow applicators can be provided on the one hand or flow applicators that can be used multiple times.A plurality of similar flow applicators can be provided. Alternatively or additionally, several different non-similar flow applicators can be provided. Such sets of flow applicators allow to switch between different flow applicators at one or more facilities.Further embodiments of the invention are described in the following description of the figures.

The dispensing outlet 12 is connected to the cartridge outlet 14 via a connection structure 18, see e.g. Fig. 2aThe dispensing outlet 12 comprises a mixer housing 22 having an outlet 28 via which one or more materials M stored in the cartridge 46 can be dispensed. In order to cover the cartridge outlet 14, the dispensing outlet 12 comprises a cover disc 32 which is connected to a collar 34. the collar 34 surrounds the cartridge outlet 14.At its end adjacent to the outlet 26, the mixer housing 22 comprises a connection 26, e.g. comprising a snap connection 30, via which a certain tip type can be connected to the dispensing outlet For example, an intraoral rotational tip (IOR) 64, as is illustrated for example in FIGS. 5, 13 and 14, can be connected to the outlet 28 of the dispensing outlet 12The end of the cartridge 48 remote from the dispensing outlet 14 comprises two gripping elements 36 by means of which the cartridge 46 can be held during use of the dispensing system 10. As shown in Figure 1b, a plunger 38 is movably disposed in the cartridge 46 to engage plungers (not shown) to dispense the material M from the cartridge 46 During use of the dispensing system 100, a user grasps the wings with his hand's fingers and can apply pressure to the plunger 38 with his thumb to push the material M stored in the cartridge 46 from the cartridge 46When the dispensing outlet 12 is placed on the cartridge 46, the dispensing outlet 12 is moved along a longitudinal axis A of the dispensing outlet 12 in the direction of the cartridge outlet 14 As soon as the dispensing outlet 12 bears against the outlet 14 of the cartridge, the latter is then moved in a direction T transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis A, as indicated by the arrows on the dispensing outlet 12 and the cartridge 46 in FIG. 1 c. In this connection, it should be noted that the longitudinal axis A of the dispensing outlet 12 is coaxial with the outlet 28 of the dispensing outlet 12FIGS. 2 a & b show sectional views of the dispensing system of FIG. 1 A mixing element 20 is arranged in the mixer housing 22. This mixing element 22 can have any desired shape. For example, a helical mixing structure may be used, as well as a mixing structure known as a T-mix or quad-mix structure may be used as the structure of the mixing element 20 Such mixing elements are known in the art and are used for the thorough mixing of multi-component material M.FIG. 2 ashows the dispensing outlet 12 which has been displaced axially relative to the cartridge outlet 14 along the longitudinal axis A before the dispensing outlet 12 has been displaced transversely to the cartridge outletFIG. 2 b shows the assembled dispensing system 10 after the dispensing outlet 12 has also been moved transversely to the dispensing outlet 12.The cartridge 46 has two cartridge chambers 42 for receiving a respective material M of a two-component material M, such as a curing agent and a corresponding binderThe respective material M can be dispensed from the respective cartridge chamber 42 via cartridge outlet channels 44In the drawing of Fig. 2a, the cartridge outlet channels 44 are closed, since a valve element 16 covers them. Transverse movement of the dispensing outlet 12 causes transverse displacement of the valve member 16 relative to the cartridge outlet channels 44 to open them by aligning through-bores 40 of the valve member 16 with the cartridge outlet channels 44In this regard, it should be appreciated that the through-bores 40 are configured to receive a portion of an inlet passage 24 of the dispensing outlet 12, wherein at least one of the one or more inlet passages 24 is configured to carry the valve member 16 with it when the dispensing outlet 12 is connected to the cartridge outlet 14The inlet channels 24 are configured to direct the respective material M stored in the respective cartridge chamber 42 from the cartridge 46 to the mixing element 20. The inlet channels 24 are aligned with the cartridge outlet channels 44 in the open position of the valve element 16, whereby the material M can be guidedIn this way, the respective material M stored in the respective first or second cartridge chamber 42 only comes into contact with the other of the respective materials M in the dispensing outlet 12 when the valve member is in the open position, thereby avoiding cross-contamination at the cartridge outlet 14.The connecting structure 18 shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 and FIGS. 5 to 11 is referred to as a so-called "plug and slide" connecting structure, since the mixer is first plugged onto the connecting structure 18 and is then displaced.FIGS. 3 ato c show different views of a second type of dispensing system 10, similar to the previous embodiments in connection with FIGS. 1 and. 2In contrast to the construction shown in Figures 1 and 2, the construction shown in Figure 3 comprises only the collar 34 on one side of the dispensing outlet 12 which covers one side of the cartridge outlet 14. The valve element 16, the connecting structure 18 and the connector 26 can be formed identically to one another, as can the mixing element and the housing 22In this connection, it should be noted that the collar 34 may cover between 5% and 90% of an outer surface of the cartridge outlet 14, in particular between 10% and 75% of the outer surface of the cartridge outlet 14, in other words the collar 34 would then not surround the entire outer surface of the cartridge outlet 14FIGS. 4 a& b show further views of the dispensing system 10 from FIG. 3, wherein the transverse movement of the dispensing outlet 12 in the direction T transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis A is emphasized after the dispensing outlet 12 has been arranged on the cartridge outlet 14Figures 5a-d show different views of a third type of dispensing system 10, similar to the previous embodiments in connection with Figures 1 and 2, the difference in construction being that the cartridge 46 has a cylindrical shape instead of a rectangular shape and that the dispensing outlet 12 comprises only one cover disc 32 but no collar 34Also indicated is the valve element 16 which, like the valve element of all types of dispensing systems 10 shown herein, cannot be removed from the connecting structure 18 during normal use of the dispensing system. Moreover, like all other valve elements shown here, the valve element 16 can slide relative to the connecting structure 18 only along an axis in the direction T transverse to the longitudinal axis AAs indicated for example in FIG. 4 a, a part of the discharge outlet 12 can be inserted into the valve element 16, namely the inlet ducts 24, which are formed together in a distributor 80 with vanes 48By displacing the dispensing outlet 12 transversely to the cartridge outlet 14, the manifold 80 is clamped between a base 72 of the cartridge outlet 14 and a component with arms 50 of the cartridge outlet 14 to prevent axial movement of the dispensing outlet 12 relative to the cartridge outlet 14 in the open position of the valve member 16FIG. 5 bshows a perspective view of the third type of dispensing system 10 of FIG. 5 a, FIG. 5 cshows the dispensing system with the valve element 16 in the closed position, i.e. before it has been displaced transversely, and FIG. 5 dshows the dispensing system 10 after the dispensing outlet 12 has been displaced transversely into the open position of the valve element 16As shown in Figures 6a-6c, the dispensing valve member 16 is received in one or more channels 54 in the cartridge outlet 14. These channels 54 are shaped complementarily to the dispensing valve member 16 to facilitate sliding movement of the dispensing valve member 16 relative to the cartridge outlet 14As indicated, the valve element 16 includes a protrusion 52 that protrudes from the valve element 16 generally in the direction of the longitudinal axis A.The protrusion 52 may be held by a member 50 of the cartridge 46 at the cartridge outlet 14 in a position as indicated in Figure 6a, namely between opposing arms 50 protruding from the cartridge walls 74 into the cartridge outlet 14 The arms 50 have an open end 84 that is convexly curved to receive the cylindrically shaped protrusion 52 therein in the closed position of the valve member 16.The part of the dispensing outlet 12 configured to take along the projection 52 is one of the inlet channels 24, which has a part which likewise has a cylindrical shape and which can be clamped between the convex open ends 84 of the opposing arms 50 in the open position of the valve element 16. Thus, a respective inlet duct 24 may move relative to the component 50The valve element has bulges 56 on its side opposite to the side with the projection 52. The protrusions 56 extend parallel to the sliding direction of the valve element 16.Each of the protrusions 54 is received in a respective one of the one or more channels 54. The channels 54 are shaped complementarily to the protrusions and thus also ensure a seal between the valve element 16 and the cartridge outlet 14 in the closed position of the valve element 1As indicated, for example, in FIG. 6 a, two components 50 are provided at the cartridge outlet 14 and two inlet channels 24, each inlet channel 24 being movable relative to a respective one of the components 50.In the closed position of the valve member 16, the curved surfaces of the arms act as hooks hooking the projection 52 therebetween, while the projection 52 is clamped between the arms 50, a first web 58 is clamped between the base of the cartridge outlet 14 and the arms 50, thereby forcing the protrusions 56 into sealing engagement with the channels 54. This interference so to speak presses the valve element 16 in the direction of the cartridge outlet in order to maintain the closed positionIn the open position, the valve element 16 is carried by the inlet channels 24 of the dispensing outlet 14 to displace it transversely of the cartridge outlet 14, thereby releasing the protrusion 52 from the "hooks" formed by the curved surfaces of the open ends 84 of the arms 50 The cylindrical portions of the inlet channels 24 are then positioned between the open ends 84 of the arms 50 and also hooked therebetween to ensure proper positioning of the valve element 16 in the cartridge outlet 14Figures 7a & b show further sectional views of the second type of dispensing system 10. In this connection, it should be noted that a respective vane 48 may engage between a respective arm 50 and the valve member 16In this regard, it should be noted that such wings 48 and arms 50 may be provided with all types of dispensing systems 10 shown hereinTo assist in inserting the wing 48, or the respective wing 48, into engagement under a respective arm, each wing 48 may include one or more beveled surfaces 78. These are provided so that, while the wings are guided under an arm, axial pressing of the dispensing outlet 12 towards the cartridge outlet 14 can also be achievedFigures 8a-h, except Figure 8c, show views of the valve member 16.The valve element 16 includes two recesses 80 parallel to the protrusion 52 configured to receive a respective vane connected to one of the inlet passages 24The position of these recesses 80 and through-holes 40 provide coded alignment means that ensure proper placement of the dispensing outlet 12 on the cartridge outlet 14 in only one orientation. This is due to the shape and positioning of the corresponding partAs shown in FIGS. 8a and 8c, the through-bores 40 and the cartridge outlet channels 44 are not arranged mirror-symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis AAs indicated in FIGS. 8 b, 8 d, 8 fand 8 h, the protrusions 46 of the plate-shaped valve element 16 are arranged on a side of the valve element 16 which is opposite the side with the protrusion, wherein the through-holes 40 extend between the sides.FIGS. 9 ato f show views of a dispensing outlet of the second type of dispensing system 10 The inlet channels 24 of the dispensing outlet 12 are likewise arranged in a non-mirror-symmetrical manner with respect to the longitudinal axis A. They are positioned complementary to the through-holes 40 and the cartridge outlet channels 44 to ensure proper positioning of the inlet channels with respect to the cartridge outlet channels 44 in the valve member open positionAs shown in the various views, the vanes 48 protrude from the inlet channels 24 in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A.Figures 10a and b, and 11a and b, show views of a cartridge of the second type of dispensing system 10 configured for use with the cartridge outlet as shown in Figure 9 in conjunction with the valve member 16 shown in Figure 8The cartridge 46 comprises the cartridge outlet 14, in which the valve element 16 can be arranged displaceably. The valve member 16 may be disposed between the bottom 72 of the cartridge outlet 14 and the arms 50 that project inwardly from an outer wall 74 of the cartridge 46FIGS. 12 a- e show different views of a fourth type of dispensing system 10 The dispensing system 10 further includes a closure ring 66 disposed at the dispensing outlet 12. The views shown in Figures 12a-12c are similar to those shown in connection with the third type of dispensing system 10, wherein the manifold 82 can be clamped between the arms 50 and the base 72 of the valve member 16FIG. 12 d shows the dispensing outlet 14 in the open position of the valve member 16 after the closure ring 66 has been rotated.Figure 12e shows the shutter ring 66 having a guide slot 68 integrally formed therewith. To hold the guide slot 68 in place, a web 70 projects from the inner surface of the closure ring 66The projection 52 is forcibly guided in the guide slot 68. Using the fourth type of dispensing system 10, rotation of the closure ring 66 is converted via the protrusion 52 and the guide slot 68 into axial sliding movement of the valve member 16 to displace the valve member 16 from the closed position to the open position and vice versaIn order to effect the opening and closing movement of the valve element 16, the guide slot 68 has a kidney-shaped extension in order to guide the projection 16 of the valve element 16 in the direction T transversely to the longitudinal axis AFigures 13a & 13b show another type of dispensing outlet 12, Figure 13a shows a perspective view of the dispensing outlet 12 and Figure 13b shows a sectional view taken along section line A:A of Figure 13a.The dispensing outlet 12 is configured for use in the dispensing system 10, as shown in the foregoing. The dispensing outlet 12 includes the mixing element 20 disposed within the housing 22, and the IOR 64. The dispensing outlet 12 can be attached to a cartridge (see, e.g., FIG. 5 b) via one of the connection structures 18 described above in connection with any types of dispensing systems 10The IOR 64 includes an outlet 63 through which material is dispensed, the outlet 63 being located at a first end 67 of a cannula 65 of the intraoral rotational tip (IOR) 64 The first end 67 is disposed opposite a second end 69 of the cannula 65, the cannula 65 being connected to an inlet container 138 of the IOR 64 at the second end 69The cannula 65 includes a passage 134 for directing material dispensed from the cartridge 46 via the dispensing outlet 12 into the IOR 64 via the outlet 63 of the IOR 64.In this connection, it should be noted that other types of connection means other than those described herein may also be usedThe IOR 64 is attached to an outer surface 112 of the housing 22 such that the IOR 64 can rotate relative to the mixing element 20, but cannot be moved axially, i.e., cannot be moved along the longitudinal axis A, but can be rotated about the longitudinal axis AThe IOR 64 includes an inlet 118 formed in a body 140 of the inlet container 138 disposed at the end 19 of the dispensing member 12, e.g., a static mixer or a dynamic mixer The end 19 of the dispensing outlet 12 is inserted into the inlet 118 of the inlet container 138 and snap-fit therein via two snap-fit connections 30The end 19 of the outer surface 112 of the housing 22 has a circumferentially extending lip 122. In the example shown in FIG. 13 b, the lip extends completely around the exterior 112 of the housing 22, however, it should be appreciated that the lip 122 may include two or more partial lips (not shown) The function of the lip 122 is to provide a portion of the snap connection 120 via which the IOR 64 is secured to the housing 22. The attachment is selected so that the IOR 64 cannot be removed from the housing 22 during normal useFigures 14a-c show views of the intraoral rotational tip 64 of Figures 13a and 13b. In Figure 14a, the IOR 64 is mounted on the dispensing outlet 12. The IOR 64 includes the inlet container 138 for securing the cannula 65 to the dispensing outlet 12The end 19 of the outer side 112 of the housing 22 is inserted into the inlet 118.The inlet 118 further includes two apertures 124. These openings 124 are part of the snap connection 30, and in this connection it should be noted that the snap connection could also be produced without these openings 124As viewed from an inlet opening 126 of the inlet 118, the inlet 118 includes two circumferentially extending ribs 128 each disposed on one of the openings 124, the openings 124 being disposed downstream of the respective circumferentially extending rib 128 as viewed from the inlet opening 126When the IOR 64 is snapped into the dispensing outlet 12 via the inlet container 138, the two ribs 128 engage behind the peripheral lip 122. This axially secures the IOR 64 to the dispensing outlet 12The inlet 118 of the IOR 64 includes an inner surface 129 with a plurality of inner surface ribs 130 disposed thereon, as shown in FIG. 6 b. The inner surface ribs 130 extend parallel to each other and the longitudinal axis AAs indicated in Figure 14c, the dispensing outlet 12 has the outlet 28 aligned with a passage 134 (see Figure 14a) of the IOR 64, with the material to be dispensed exiting the outlet 114 and then the passage 134As is further indicated in FIG. 14 c, the outer side 112 of the housing 22 has one or more outer side ribs 132 arranged on the outer side 112. The outer side ribs 132 extend parallel to one another and to the longitudinal axis AThe inner surface ribs 130 are configured to mate with the outer side ribs 132. In this manner, the IOR 64 can be rotated about the longitudinal axis A and the dispensing outlet 12. The IOR 64 may be positioned relative to the dispensing outlet 12 depending on the engagement positionIn this manner, the IOR 64 of the dispensing outlet 12 can be positioned, for example, on a tooth of a patient to be treated, and the cartridge attached thereto can be rotated, for example, by a dentist, to properly dispense the material at a desired angleFigures 15a-c show another type of IOR 64 connected to the discharge outlet 12 as explained in connection with Figure 1. Of course, the IOR may be used in conjunction with any of the output outlets 12 discussed hereinA plate 142 is connected to the body 140 of the inlet container 138 by webs at the portion of the inlet container 138 where the cannula 65 is attached to the body 140The plate 142 has a flat outer surface 146 that serves as a positioning aid for the finger during a dispensing operation so that a user can securely hold the IOR 64 to, for example, a patient's tooth during dispensing.The plate 142 is connected to the body by one or more material webs 144, wherein the present example has three such webs 144 In this connection, it should be noted that it is possible to provide between two and six webs 144.Figures 16a-16c show another type of dispensing system 10. this dispensing system 10 is similar to the design shown in connection with Figure 12The difference is that the locking ring 66 includes a blocking member 148 disposed on an inner surface 150 of the locking ring 66.The linkage structure 18 further includes a pivot member 152 pivotable about a pivot axis 154, the pivot member 152 including first and second wings 156, 158The rocker element 152 can be brought into and out of engagement with the closure ring 66 by the pivoting movement about the pivot axis 154, i.e. the second wing 158 can be brought into and out of engagement with the closure ring 66. This allows the rocker element 152 to be brought into and out of engagement with the locking element 148 of the locking ring 66The connection structure 18 further includes a frame 160 protruding toward the discharge outlet 12. An inner shape of the frame 160 is matched to an outer shape of the manifold 80, the two respective shapes only receiving an insertion of the discharge outlet into the outletThis allows frames of the interconnect structure in one orientation, thereby forming coded alignment meansThe rocker 152 is configured to pivot between two arms 162 of the frame 160, for example, the first wing 156 and the second wing 158 of the rocker 152 each abut one of the arms 162 of the frame 160 once the manifold 80 is inserted into the connection structure 18In this regard, it should be noted that upon insertion of the manifold 80 and the inlet channels 24 into the connecting structure 18, a portion of the manifold 80 is configured to deflect the rocker member 152, e.g., the first lobe 156 of the rocker member 152 pivoting the rocker member 152 out of engagement with the closure ring 66, e.g., the blocking member 148 of the closure ring 66 will then no longer engage the second lobe 156 because it is pivoted out of engagement with the blocking member 148, such that the closure ring 66 may be rotated to attach the dispensing outlet to the cartridge 46 and open the valve member 16The multicomponent cartridge 46 can thus be filled with materials M selected from the group consisting of topical medicaments, medical liquids, wound care liquids, cosmetic and / or skin care preparations, dental liquids, veterinary liquids, adhesive liquids, disinfecting liquids, protective liquids, paints and combinations of the aforementionedSuch materials M and hence the delivery system 10 can therefore be useful in the treatment of target areas such as the nose (e.g., antihistamine creams, etc.), ears, teeth (e.g., implant shapes or buccal applications (e.g., aphites, gingival treatment, mouth ulcers, etc.), eyes (e.g., the precise deposition of drugs on eyelids (e.g., chalazion, infection, anti-inflammatory, antibiotics, etc.), lips (e.g., herpes), mouth, skin (e.g., antifungal agents, anti-pigment stains, acne, warts, psoriasis, agents for the treatment of skin cancer, Agents for removing tagetigos, wound healing, scarring, staining, anti-pruritic agents, etc.), other dermatological applications (e.g. skin, nails (e.g. antifungal or strengthening formulas, etc.) or cytological applications.Figures 17a-c show several types of cosmetic flow applicators 170. These can be detachably coupled to the dispensing outlet 12 and together with the dispensing system 10 form a system, in particular a cosmetic application system.The cosmetic application system thus comprises the flow-through applicator 170, a two-component cartridge, and a static mixer (20, 22), which is arranged between the two-component cartridge and the flow-through applicator 170.The flow applicator 170 is detachably couplable to the mixer housing 22 of the static mixer. The mixing element 20 is arranged in the mixer housing 22 in a manner known per se. The flow applicator 170 can be coupled to the static mixer via an interface 180. In the example shown, the interface 180 is a snap fit that cooperates with the connector 26.The static mixer can be detachably coupled to the cartridge by means of the plug and slide connection described, for example, in FIGS. 2 to 4.As shown in FIG. 17 a, the flow applicator 170 may include a plurality of bristles 172. Such bristles 172 have, for example, a Shore hardness in the range from 25 to 95, in particular from 40 to 60, measured on the Shore hardness scale A.As in Figures 17b and c (1 to 3), the flow applicator 170 may include a flexible outlet 174. The flexible outlet 174 may have, for example, a Shore hardness in the range from 25 to 95, in particular from 40 to 60, measured on the Shore hardness scale A.Alternatively, as in Figure, the flow applicator 170 may include a rigid outlet 176. The rigid outlet 176 may have, for example, a Shore hardness in the range from 45 to 100, in particular from 50 to 95, measured on the Shore hardness scale D.As in the examples of Figures 17c (1-3), the flow applicator 170 may include a cannula outlet 178. The cannula outlet 178 may have a Shore hardness in the range of 25 to 95, in particular 40 to 60, measured on the Shore hardness scale A. In the example shown, the flow applicator 170 has outlet with an inner diameter of 0.9 mm. Such outlet openings may typically have a diameter in the range of 0.2 to 3 mm.As shown, the flow applicator 170 may include one or more outlet ports (see, for example. FIGS. 17 b 1, 17 b 3 and 17 b 4).The one or more outlet opening of the flow applicator 170 may have a round, angular, rectangular, triangular, and / or oval cross-section.As can be seen from FIG. 17 b 1 or 17 c 5, for example, the flow applicator 170 can have a beveled outlet.As shown in FIG. 17 b 5, the flow applicator 170 may have a V-shaped outlet.The flow applicator 170 may be made of a plastic, silicone, metal, TPE, or PU foam.Various flow applicators 170 may thus be releasably coupled to the static mixer via a suitable interface 180. Various applicators are described below which can likewise be provided by means of such an interface 180 and are thus coupled to the static mixer according to the invention.The mode of operation of a first applicator unit or of the applicator element is explained with reference to FIGS. 18 to 39. For reasons of clarity, the (main) ribs 208, connecting ribs 209, nodes 210 and intermediate spaces 211 of the individual embodiments are provided in all figures with only exemplary reference numerals.In FIG. 18, the applicator 202 of an applicator unit 201 is illustrated in a side view. The applicator 202 comprises an applicator member 203 and a coupling part 215 adjoining it. The applicator 202 can be connected to the coupling part 215 by a handle 204 of the applicator unit 201, which handle is not shown in FIG. 1.The applicator element 203 of the applicator 2 serves to absorb a liquid and apply it at the desired location. The applicator member 203 consists of a wall 205 or a net 205 which encloses a cavity. The net 205 is formed by a plurality of main ribs 208 and a plurality of connecting ribs 209.The main ribs 208 of the applicator element 203 extend from the coupling part 215 to the tip 212 of the network 205, wherein the main ribs 208 merge into one another both in the region of the coupling part 215 and in the region of the tip 212 of the network 205. At the coupling part 215, the main ribs 208 also merge into the coupling part 215. The region of the applicator element 203 in which the main ribs 208 merge into the coupling part 215 represents the proximal end of the applicator element. The region in which the main ribs 208 merge into the tip 212 of the network 205 represents the distal end of the applicator member 203.The main ribs 208 extend from a point on the longitudinal axis L of the applicator element 203 in the region of the coupling part 215 to an end point of the network 205, which end point likewise lies on the longitudinal axis L and represents the tip 212 of the network 205. Between the distal end and the proximal end of the applicator member, the main ribs 208 do not extend along the longitudinal axis L. Rather, each main rib 208 represents a convex bulge of the network 205. Together, the main ribs 208 here form a flag-like shaped network 205. Moreover, each main rib 208 ideally extends spirally about the longitudinal axis L of the applicator member 203.The connecting ribs 209 each extend - mostly all - between two main ribs 208, each connecting rib 209 beginning at a junction 210 on a first main rib 208 and ending at a junction 210 on a main rib 208 adjoining the first main rib 208.Both the main ribs 208 and the connecting ribs 209 have a substantially circular cross section. However, the cross sections of the main ribs 208 are always (in other cases predominantly) larger than the cross sections of the connecting ribs 209.Between the main ribs 208 and the connecting ribs 209 are the openings 211. These also form the openings 211 of the network 205. Through these openings 211, the liquid can enter the hollow interior of the applicator element 203 or emerge therefrom.In order to fill the applicator member 203 with the liquid, it is immersed in a container containing the liquid. The liquid flows by the hydrostatic pressure in the container through the openings 211 into the interior of the applicator element 203. In some cases, the applicator element 203 and the container can be matched to one another such that the applicator element 203 can be pressed from the inside against the wall of the container in the completely or partially immersed state and can thereby be deformed such that (additional) liquid can pass into the applicator element 203. However, if the applicator 202 or the applicator element 203 is now pulled out of the container containing the liquid, the liquid does not flow out of the interior of the applicator element 203 by itself. This is because the interstices 211 of the network 205 are so small that the combination of surface tension and interfacial tension prevents the liquid from exiting the interior of the applicator member 203.In order to be able to apply the liquid to the desired surface 214, the applicator member 203 is pressed with its network 205 against the surface 214 to be applied. In many cases, the main ribs 208 and, as a rule, the connecting ribs 209 are elastically deformed. This deformation causes, on the one hand, the interstices 211 of the network 205 to expand or to change at least in the region of the network 205 which is pressed against the surface 214. As a result, the surface tension that is present is no longer sufficient to hold the liquid inside the applicator element 203. In addition, by pressing the network 205 against the surface 214 and the elastic deformation of the network 205 occurring in the process, contact is established between the liquid located in an opening 211 in the region of pressing the network 205 and the surface 214. This also creates an interfacial tension between the surface 214 and the liquid. This pulls out a portion of the liquid located in the opening 211 when the applicator member 203 is lifted.FIG. 19 shows the applicator unit of FIG. 18 in a three-dimensional view.In FIG. 20, the applicator unit 201 of FIG. 18 is illustrated in a three-dimensional view. The handle 204 of the applicator unit 201 is also visible. The applicator 202 with its coupling part 215 is attached to the handle 204. With reference to FIG. 19, the spiral-shaped course of the main ribs 208 about the longitudinal axis L of the applicator element 203 can be clearly seen.It can also be clearly seen how all the main ribs 208 merge into one another in the region of the tip 212 of the network 205. Tip 212 also represents a trigger or pin 212. On the one hand, the trigger pin 212 can be used to spread liquid already applied to the surface 214 or to draw fine lines through the applied liquid. On the other hand, the applicator member 203 can be pressed with its tip 212 substantially orthogonally against the surface 214. During this process, elastic deformation of the network 205 also takes place. This leads to a widening of the openings 211, which in turn triggers an exit of the liquid located in the applicator element 203. In some cases, the pin 212 may be made so long as to form a lever arm by means of which deformation of the network 205 can be more easily achieved, resulting in more than insignificant liquid ejection.In FIGS. 21 to 23, different regions of the applicator element 203 are shown in detail. FIGS. 21 and 22 show very clearly the nodes 210 from which the connecting ribs 209 extend.Figure 22 also shows that both the main ribs 208 and the connecting ribs 209 have a roughened surface. This ensures that the interfacial tension between the fins and the liquid also increases. Thus, the liquid is better retained in the applicator member 203 due to the roughened surface of the main and connecting ribs 208 and 209.FIG. 23 again clearly shows the spiral-shaped course of the main ribs 208.Fig. 24 shows another example of an applicator unit 201. Here, the applicator member 203 is formed by a net 205 of constant outer diameter and bristles 213. The outer diameter of the mesh 205 is greater than the diameter of the stem 204, but ideally is minimal, typically only 8% to 15%. In this case, the net 205 also consists of ribs 208, no additional connecting ribs being provided between the ribs 208. Each rib 208 extends spirally about the longitudinal axis L of the applicator member 203, which is not shown. In this case, each rib 208 circles around the longitudinal axis L a plurality of times. Ribs 208 are provided which extend in opposite spirals. Two ribs 208 cross each other at the nodes 210. In the area between the ribs 208 and the nodes 210, the network 205 is provided with interstices 211. These open the path into the interior of the applicator element 203. Ideally, the ribs 208 define a circular cylindrical applicator member 203 having a fully or substantially constant diameter along the longitudinal axis. Preferably, a plurality of bristles 213 are attached to each rib 208. These usually protrude from the ribs 208 in the radial direction of the application element 203. The diameter of the bristles 213 is usually smaller than the diameter of the ribs 208 by at least a factor of 5.The applicator element 203 shown in FIG. 24 is open on its end face. When the applicator element 203 is pulled out of the container filled with liquid, liquid only adheres in the intermediate spaces 211 of the network 205 because of the boundary and surface tension. As a result, less liquid is applied to the surface 214 per application process. This may be advantageous depending on the application. In some cases, the amount of liquid released and then applied per application cycle can be controlled by guiding the applicator member 203 (relative to its longitudinal axis) in a more or less horizontal direction while it is being pulled out of the reservoir and during the actual application process.The handle 204 of the applicator unit 201 shown in FIG. 24 merges at its end facing away from the applicator 202 into the handle 216.In FIG. 25, a further application unit 201 is shown. In this, the application element 203 consists of a preferably plumen-like network 205. The net 205, in turn, is formed by the main ribs 208 and the connecting ribs 209. Connecting ribs 209 are provided between two main ribs 208 only on one half side of the net 205. In this way, the applicator element 203 can be given a type of "spoon function" with a corresponding design and corresponding adjustment of the fluid viscosity. As long as such an applicator 202 is pulled out of the reservoir and guided in alignment as shown in Figure 25, it does not dispense any or only a reduced amount of liquid (upon contact with the target surface), while a predominant amount of liquid is still held in the network 205 of the main 208 and connecting 209 ribs, which form a kind of lower half shell. If the applicator element 203 is now rotated or tilted by or (in the case of tilting) about its longitudinal axis by a certain amount, then an increased quantity of liquid is discharged from the interior of the applicator element to the outside via the region still located at the top in FIG. 25, which is provided with fewer or (as here) no connecting ribs.The connecting ribs 209 are preferably circular rings here. Each of these circular connecting ribs 209 is tangent to a main rib 208 at two opposing locations. In this way, an improved liquid-holding, but nevertheless easily deformable network 205 is produced, which can therefore be caused to discharge liquid even with lower forces-even if the ribs 208, 209 are not designed to be too thin and are therefore relatively robust with respect to unintentional deformations, they do not immediately suffer damage in the sense of permanent deformation. The contact surfaces of the adjoining ribs 209 with the main ribs 208 represent the nodes 210. These are not labeled with reference numerals in FIG. 25.Since the mesh 205 is convexly curved about the longitudinal axis L of the applicator element 203 and all main ribs 208 run spirally about the longitudinal axis L, the areas between in each case two main ribs 208 at the distal and proximal end of the applicator element 203 are smaller than in the central area of the applicator element 203. Accordingly, the circles formed by the connecting ribs 209 also have a smaller diameter in the region of the distal and proximal ends of the applicator element 203 than in the central region of the applicator element 203. The cross sections of the connecting ribs 209, however, are ideally all of the same size.FIG. 26 shows an applicator unit 201, the applicator element 203 of which has a spherical network 205. The spherical network 205 is composed of the main ribs 208 and the connecting ribs 209. The main ribs 208 extend from the coupling part 215 of the applicator 2 as spherical spirals to the end of the applicator element 203 which is remote from the coupling part 215. The connecting ribs 209 have a smaller cross section than the main ribs 208 and each extend between two main ribs 208. Each connecting rib 209 begins at a node 210 on a first main rib 208 and ends at a node 210 on a second main rib 209. The nodes 210 are not provided with reference numerals.Such a spherical shape (generally corresponding or substantially approximating the mathematical spherical shape) can be deformed particularly strongly. Nevertheless, it always elastically returns to its original shape. This spherical shape therefore helps to control the dispensing by the elastic deformation particularly well and in a user-friendly manner. If necessary, a squeezing dispensing can also be superimposed, which is of interest in particular for liquids with higher viscosity: the user can compress the ball body reversibly and elastically to such an extent that the volume enclosed by the ball body is reduced to such an extent that the liquid to be dispensed is pressed out and is dispensed not only by changing the surface tension and / or capillarity.This spherical shape is to be used for skin treatment. The user can intuitively hold the applicator. It is not necessary to align the shape according to the application area.It may be particularly attractive to provide the spherical body of Fig. 26 with the "spoon function" which will be explained with reference to Fig. 25 of the corresponding corrugation which is not shown in Fig. 26, as will be explained below merely by way of example.FIG. 27 shows an applicator unit 201 which likewise has an applicator member 203 having a spherical network 205. Here too, the network 205 consists of main ribs 208 which run as ball spirals and connect connecting ribs 209. The connecting ribs 209 are circular rings, each of which is a circular ring.This is because the main rib 208 contacts at two opposite points. However, connecting ribs 209 are not provided between all adjacent main ribs 208.Rather, two adjacent main ribs 208 are alternately connected to connecting ribs 209, but the next two main ribs 208 are not. This can be clearly seen in FIG. 28, which shows a plan view of the applicator 202 shown in FIG. 27.Figures 29 to 31 show applicators 2 whose applicator members 203 each consist of two substantially or completely separate cage-like networks 206, 207.The ribs 208 of the applicator member 203 shown in FIG. 29 extend spirally about the longitudinal axis L of the applicator member 203, wherein the two substantially mutually separated networks 206 and 207 are formed by the same ribs 208. The first network 206 is configured such that the radius of the spirals along which the ribs 208 run first increases continuously and finally decreases again continuously. The same applies to the second network 207. In the region of the transition between the network 206 and the network 207, the design is preferably selected such or the spiral radius is thereby preferably so small that the liquid located within the applicator element 203 does not pass from one network into the other on account of surface and boundary surface tension. No connecting ribs are provided between the ribs 208.Preferably, the networks 206 and 207 are designed such that they have a greater than only insignificantly different elasticity. Ideally, this forms a two- or multistage dose applicator element 203: the bulky, usually "wide-mesh" network 206 can, during use, first be deformed in such a way that it delivers the predominant part of the liquid stored in its interior until the smaller, usually "narrow-mesh" network 207 delivers the predominant part of the liquid stored in its interior.The applicator members 203 of the applicators 2 shown in Figures 13 and 14 also consist of two nets 206 and 207. However, the first net 206 adjacent the coupling part 215 has a plumen-shaped configuration; optionally, that described for FIG. 25 can be used here. The second net 207, on the other hand, forms a ball. Here, the one described for Fig. 26 or Fig. 27 may be optionally applied. Connecting ribs 209 are provided between the main ribs 208 of the two networks 206 and 207.Figure 32 shows the transition area of an applicator member 203 formed by two networks 206 and 207. It can be seen that the main ribs 208 of the first network 206 merge with the main ribs 208 of the second network 207.Fig. 33 shows an applicator unit 201 of the same type. Here, the mesh 205 forming the applicator member 203 consists of the main ribs 208 which extend helically with a constant radius about the longitudinal axis L of the applicator member 203. In either case, a plurality, typically two, of main ribs 208 that are generally parallel to one another are connected by a plurality of connecting ribs 209. The connection may be ladder-like. In other words, each connecting rib 209 may form a kind of "ladder bar" which extends substantially perpendicular to the main rib areas which it connects. In other cases, a connection may be more advantageous in which the connection is produced at an angle, for example in that the longitudinal axis of the respective connecting rib 209 has an angle of approximately 45° to the local longitudinal axis of the main rib 208 in the connection region of the connecting rib 209. Such a construction in many cases facilitates the springing. The stiffness of the applicator 2 can thus also be set very advantageously. It is noteworthy in this applicator 202 that it is here formed by pairs of main ribs 208 screwing parallel to each other, which are connected in pairs by connecting ribs 209. Adjacent pairs of ribs 208 are not connected to one another, or are connected to one another only to a slight extent, by connecting ribs 209. In this manner, the applicator 202 includes at least one fully free helical outlet groove and at least one helical retention portion.The outer diameter of the network 205 predominantly has a constant diameter. This is substantially the same size as the diameter of the stem 204. At the end of the applicator element 203 facing away from the handle 204, the network 205 forms a dome. At the end of the handle 204 remote from the applicator member 203, the applicator unit 201 also has a handle 216, which has a corrugation.FIG. 34 shows how the applicator 202 shown in FIG. 33 or its applicator element 203 elastically deforms when it is pressed against the surface 214 to be treated. Under bending stress, the applicator element 203 on its pressure side contracts in an concertina-like manner and expands in an concertina-like manner on its tension side.The surface 214 may therefore be a skin area, possibly also the outer circumferential surface of one or more hairs or a mucosa. FIG. 35 shows an applicator 202 of an applicator unit 201, the applicator member 203 of which consists of a network 205 with semicircular ribs 208 arranged in a straight line. The interior of the applicator member 203 which receives the liquid is accordingly not continuous. Rather, the interior space is formed by the regions enclosed between the semicircular ribs 208 and the supporting element 218 supporting them. The liquid is held in place by the surface and interfacial tension of these regions. The ribs 208 are provided on their side facing away from the support element 218 with through-holes 219, through which the liquid can escape from the regions between the ribs 208 and the support element 218 when the ribs 208 are elastically deformed. Five bristles 213 are also located at the free end of the support element 218, wherein it is also conceivable to provide more or fewer bristles 213 on the support element 218. A side view of the applicator 2 is shown in Fig. 36.Fig. 37 shows an applicator 202 of an applicator unit 201 with an applicator member 203 formed by a dome-like network 205. The dome-like network 205 is formed by a plurality of main ribs 208 running spirally around the longitudinal axis L, not shown, of the applicator element 203 and additional connecting ribs 209. The outer diameter of the network 205 is predominantly constant starting from the coupling part 215. Only in the region of the free end of the applicator element 203 does the diameter of the network 205 decrease in such a way that it closes the free end of the applicator element 203 in the form of an elliptical paraboloid. The main ribs 208 and the connecting ribs 209 each have a circular cross section with the same diameter.The net 205 of the applicator member 203 of the applicator 202 of FIG. 38 is composed exclusively of circular ribs 208, each circular rib 208 adjoining the respective adjacent circular ribs 208 such that they merge into one another and form nodes 210. Starting from the coupling part 215, the net of 205 initially has a constant outer diameter. In the region of the end of the applicator element 203 facing away from the coupling part 215, the diameter of the network 205 decreases in such a way that it closes the free end of the applicator element 203 in the form of an elliptical paraboloid. The ribs 208 are also provided with bristles 213 which project orthogonally to the circular surface enclosing the respective rib 208. The bristles 213 taper at their free end.FIG. 39 illustrates a further embodiment with an integrated auxiliary device for dispensing and receiving liquid.The applicator member is constructed in accordance with the teachings and options disclosed in this specification. A difference from what has been disclosed above is that the proximal end of the applicator member is "open", see the opening referred to as "Op". A movable push rod or piston Pi, which can be guided inside a hollow shaft (not shown here), can be pushed in this way along the arrow designated as "Aro" into the interior of the cage-like application member 203. In this way, the user has the possibility of forcing a complete or at least predominant expression of the active ingredient or of the liquid now inside the cage constituting the application member here.

Here, the rings 320 are preferably attached to the rod 319 in such a way that they each project vertically onto the longitudinal axis L with a respectively larger ring section 321 and a smaller ring section 322.In addition, it is preferably such that the rings 320 alternately oscillate about a center line M, which extends radially as viewed from the rod 319, preferably by up to plus minus 25° better by up to plus minus 15°. This is illustrative of FIG. 54. It is often preferred that a ring 320 having a positive angle of attack relative to the centerline M be followed by a ring 320 having a negative angle of attack, which in turn is followed by a ring 320 having no angle of attack, which row preferably runs substantially all over the rod 319 so on.The applicator 301 is generally preferably made of plastic, produced by means of additive manufacturing and is embodied integrally as a single part in this case.FIGS. 55 to 58 show an example of a fifth embodiment of the applicator 301, wherein the longitudinal axis L of the applicator is drawn in FIG. 55.

The shell 323 thus formed preferably has a boat shape with a more pointed bow and one opposite the more blunt stern.Such an imaginary shell 323 has a shell opening 329, which is preferably partially closed by means of at least one additional field 328. This additional panel 328 in turn preferably consists of main ribs 330 which are connected to one another by transverse ribs 331. However, these transverse ribs 331 are preferably arranged straight and not zigzag-shaped. Thus, a screen structure with openings is also produced in this additional field 328.The applicator 301 is generally preferably made of plastic, produced by means of additive manufacturing and is embodied integrally as a single part in this case.FIGS. 59 to 61 show an example of a sixth embodiment of the applicator 301, wherein the longitudinal axis L of the applicator is drawn in FIG. 60.

The tip of the applicator element 302 at its distal end DE preferably forms a cone-like region without holes.The applicator 301 is generally preferably made of plastic, produced by means of additive manufacturing and is embodied integrally as a single part in this case.First, FIG. 62 shows a further preferred exemplary embodiment of a further applicator 401 according to the invention. The applicator 401 comprises a handle coupler 402, an applicator base part 403, and a mobile applicator part 404. The mobile applicator part 404 is held on the applicator base part 403 by means of a spring element 405. Preferably, the spring element 405 integrally merges in one piece with the applicator base part 403.The spring element 405 is preferably designed here as a spiral which continuously wraps increasingly tightly from the applicator base part 403 to the mobile applicator part 404. The spring element 405 preferably merges integrally in one piece into the mobile applicator part 404. At the end, here in the center of the spiral, the mobile applicator part 404 increases in size and / or the spiral increases in size in such a way that the mobile applicator part 404 is formed by it. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the winding plane of the entire spiral is preferably substantially a plane, wherein it can be advantageous if the mobile applicator part 404 protrudes beyond the outer edge of the spiral in the direction away from the applicator base part 403. The spiral is preferably inclined by approximately 30° to 50° with respect to the applicator longitudinal axis L of the coupling piece 402, which improves the application ergonomic significantly.Figs. 63 and 64 show a second preferred embodiment of the applicator 401 according to the invention.The applicator 401 comprises a handle coupler 402, an applicator base part 403, and a mobile applicator part 404. The mobile applicator part 404 is held on the applicator base part 403 by means of a spring element 405. Preferably, the spring element 405 integrally merges in one piece with the applicator base part 403.The spring element 405 is preferably designed here as a spiral which continuously wraps increasingly tightly from the applicator base part 403 to the mobile applicator part 404. The spring element 405 preferably merges integrally in one piece with the mobile applicator part 404. The mobile applicator part 404 can be pushed back under the influence of the forces occurring during application. For this purpose, the center of the continuously more closely winding spiral-in which the mobile applicator part 404 is preferably located, which ideally also increases at the end side-in the unloaded state essentially perpendicular to the winding plane rises above the winding edge forming the outer edge of the spiral. In the exemplary embodiment shown, different winding planes are to be seen which rise from one another and merge into one another, wherein the mobile applicator part 404 forms the outermost point of the applicator element 406 in a raised manner above all winding planes. Under load, the mobile applicator part 404 can preferably be pushed back such that the spiral forms a substantially planar spiral. Here too, the spiral is preferably inclined by approximately 30° to 50° with respect to the central longitudinal axis L of the coupling piece 402, which improves the application ergonomics to a decisive extent.Figs. 65 and 66 show a third preferred embodiment. The applicator 401 comprises a handle coupler 402, an applicator base part 403, and a mobile applicator part 404. The applicator member 406 comprises a plurality of telescoping elements 407, wherein the applicator base part 403 and the mobile applicator part 404 belong to these telescoping elements 407 and further telescoping elements 407 are additionally interposed between the applicator base part 403 and the mobile applicator part 404. The mobile applicator part 404 preferably has a rounded end face. Often, it has the smallest diameter of all telescopic elements 407. Each applicator part 403, 404 and 407 forming the telescope is connected to the immediately following applicator part by a spring element 405 which is preferably connected integrally in one piece in each case. The spring elements 405 have the effect that the telescoping is possible at all only by being able to be pushed back under load and thus first enabling a mobile applicator part 404. In this case, FIG. 66 shows the compressed, loaded state of the applicator element 406.The mobile applicator part 404, the spring elements 405 and the applicator base part 403 are also preferably substantially aligned along the applicator longitudinal axis L.Figs. 67 and 68 show a fourth preferred embodiment.The applicator 401 comprises a coupling piece 402 for a handle, an applicator base part 403, and a mobile applicator part 404 which can be pushed back under the influence of the forces occurring during the application. The constrained, deformed state under load is illustrated in FIG. 7. The mobile applicator part 404 is held on the applicator base part 403 by means of a spring element 405.The spring element 405 preferably runs spirally and is particularly preferably a cylindrical or barrel helical spring, the spring windings of which, as viewed in the direction of the applicator longitudinal axis L, are arranged one behind the other.The applicator base part 403 merges at its proximal end preferably into the spring element 405, preferably integrally in one piece. The mobile applicator part 404 in turn preferably merges integrally in one piece with the distal end of the spring element 405. The mobile applicator part 404, the spring element 405 and the applicator base part 403 are preferably at least substantially aligned along the applicator longitudinal axis L. The mobile applicator part 404 usually forms a cap which, on its side facing away from the spring element 405, forms an application surface which is often spherical but usually closed in itself.An applicator 401 may generally be configured to be made of at least two different materials. However, it is also possible for an applicator 401 to consist of the same material throughout.An applicator 401 can also have additional bristles and / or knobs and / or knob-like elements and / or flocking. These elements are preferably provided on the outer side of the applicator element 406. The bristles are preferably perpendicular to their placement base.An applicator according to the invention can also be produced from post-consumer recycling material. Thus, even the various materials of the applicator 401 may be post consumer recycling materials.The applicator 401 can preferably be used for the application of medical, cosmetic, pharmaceutical or dental products.The applicator 401, or parts thereof, is preferably manufactured by 3D printing.As used in the specification and claims of this application, the following definitions should be applied:"A", "an", "an" and "the / s" as being prior may refer to either the singular or the plural, unless the context indicates otherwise."Soft" in the present application means that a material is not rigid and is capable of spontaneously resuming its normal (original) shape after it has been stretched or compressed.Geometric shapes and aspects relate to overall shapes and shapes.The present invention provides and comprises forms and aspects that do not differ substantially from the form or aspect specified. For example, "round" therefore includes shapes that are substantially similar and only slightly different from a perfectly round shape, for example due to tolerances and manufacturing constraints. Therefore, "round" forms include those that are substantially similar in function or capability to a round shape and / or that one of ordinary skill in the art would consider to be substantially similar to a round shape.Numerical values in the present application refer to average values. Unless otherwise indicated, numerical values are numerical values that are the same when reduced to the same number of significant numbers, and numerical values that differ from the indicated value by less than the experimental error of the conventional measurement technique of the type described in the present application for determining the value.Figure 69(a) shows a cap (600) according to the present invention. The cap (600) has a top (501), a head (502), a base (503) and an inlet (504). Although, as shown in Fig. 69(a), the outer surfaces of the head (502) and the base (503) of the cap (600) are irregular, they could be smooth. In this embodiment, there is a conical surface between the head (502) of the cap (600) and its base (503). Such a cap may be used with, for example, a bristled flow applicator 170.To illustrate the invention, the individual regions of the cap (600) will first be defined below with reference to Figure 69(b), which shows a cross-sectional view of the cap. As can be seen from the figure, the inner part of the head (502) of the cap (600) comprises a protrusion (505), a fitting portion (506), and an alignment portion (507). The inner surface of the cap (600) has a conical shape starting from the top (501) of the cap to the fitting portion (506), and the radius of the cone increases from the top (501) to the fitting portion (506). The alignment portion (507) starts in the head (502) of the cap, preferably after the fitting portion (506) ends, and has a cylindrical shape. The alignment portion (507) extends into the region between the transition from the head (502) to the base (503) of the cap (600), and the alignment portion (507) may follow a smooth curvature as shown in Figure 69. The smooth curvature allows the cap (600) to seat on the applicator (700) and directs the bristles of the applicator (700) smoothly into the alignment portion (507). The inner surface of the cap (600), at which a transition from the head (502) to the base (503) takes place, could alternatively have a conical geometry. The base (503) of the cap (600) comprises a connecting portion (508) and an inlet (504). The connecting portion (508), as shown in Figure 69(b), can threadably connect the cap to the container (515). The connecting portion (508) of the present invention is not specifically limited and may comprise a threaded or bayonet connection or a snap fit connection or a snap fit connection. Figure 69(b) shows that the bottom of the base (503) may have a conical inner surface at the inlet (504).Figure 69(c) is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the cap head (502). As can be seen from the figure, the protrusion (5) extending from the top (501) of the cap (600) (and typically towards the inlet (504) and thus entering the applicator (700) and its application part or bristles (511) has a body (509) and a tip (510). The body (509) of the protrusion (505) may be cylindrical or conical, but generally must be rigid. When the tip (510) seals the outlet (514) of the applicator (700), the body (509) of the protrusion (505) must not move or deform to prevent it from contacting the bristles. The tip (510) may be rigid or soft, preferably soft, more preferably made of soft polymer, most preferably of elastomer or silicone. The head of the cap (600) further comprises a fitting portion (506) and an alignment portion (507). The alignment portion (507), which is preferably cylindrical, begins in the area at the transition between the head and the base of the cap. The fitting portion (506) overlies the alignment portion (507). As can be seen from the figure, the inner radius of the cap (600) varies in the fitting portion (506). From the direction of the underside of the base upwards (from bottom to top), the fastening portion comprises an abrupt decrease in the inner radius. Between the two radius changes of the fitting portion (506) is a cylindrical inner surface.Figure 69(d) shows an enlarged cross-sectional view of the tip (510) of the protrusion. The tip (510) has a conical surface and preferably an additional cylindrical surface below the conical surface. The cylindrical surface having a radius smaller than the outlet (514) of the applicator (700) penetrates and seals the outlet (514) of the applicator (see Fig. 71(b)).Figure 70(a) shows a schematic view of the applicator (700). The applicator (700) comprises an application part (511), a neck (512), an outlet (514) and a connection base (513). As can be seen from the figure, the outer surface of the neck (512) is preferably cylindrical. The outer radius of the applicator may form a smooth curve as it decreases from the neck (512) to the top of the applicator (700), as in this figure. In other embodiments, the neck (512) may be tapered, cod-like, curved, tapered, bulbous, wide, narrow, cylindrical, bulbous, candle-like, stepped, nozzle-like, corrugated, lipped, or various combinations thereof as possible. One skilled in the art will understand that the shape and size of the cap (600) and its inlet (504), head (502), and various parts are selected accordingly to supplement the shape of the applicator (700) and its neck (512).Figure 70(b) shows a cross-sectional view of the applicator (700). Here it can be seen that the outlet (514) starts from the bottom of the part of the applicator (700) and extends into the neck (512) of the applicator (700).Figure 70(c) shows an enlarged cross-sectional view of the narrow point of the outlet (514) of the applicator (700). This narrow point is the point at which the tip (510) of the protrusion (505) of the cap (600) seals the outlet (514) of the applicator (700).Figure 71(a) shows a schematic view of the assembly (800) comprising the cap, applicator (700), and container. The size of the container shown in the figure can be increased or decreased as required.Figure 71(b) shows a cross-sectional view of the assembly (800) of the present invention. As can be seen from the figure, the cap (600) of the present invention closes the outlet (514) of the applicator (700) while its bristles are exactly centered to allow the protrusion (505) of the cap (600) to penetrate without damaging the bristles. It will be appreciated that the protrusion (505) is configured to cooperate with the outlet (514) of the applicator (700). For example, the protrusion (505) seals the outlet (514) by contacting the surface of the outlet (514) to form a seal in this figure. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other interaction mechanisms are possible, for example, the protrusion (505) may lock to or enter the outlet (514). As shown herein, the head (502) has an internal cavity having a shape and / or diameter suitable for allowing a predetermined portion of the application member (511) and the neck (512) to enter and cover the head (502) and be protected thereby. This figure thus shows an example of how complementary shapes can be selected and used for the cap (600) and applicator (700). By varying the internal cavity dimensions to those of the application part (511) and neck (512), the penetration of the application part (511) and the neck (512) into the head (502) can be controlled. The applicator (700) is attached to the container via its connection base (513) and can be removed from the container.Figure 72 shows a cross-sectional view of an upper portion of the assembly (800') including a dosing device (516). The dosing device (516) has an inlet (518), a temporary storage reservoir (517) and an outlet (519). As can be seen from the figure, the outlet (519) of the dosing device is connected to the outlet (514) of the applicator (700). The dosing device (516) may be located in any part of the container. The assembly (800') may optionally include a button (520) (in dotted lines)).Figure 73(a) shows a schematic view of an assembly (800") comprising a cap (600), an applicator (700), a container (515), and a button (520). In this figure, the button (520) is located on the side surface of the container (515).Figure 74(b) shows a cross-sectional top view of the container through the center of the button (520). The button (520) is separate from the container and may be manufactured together with the container or manufactured separately and subsequently attached to the body of the container. The button (520) may be located on any part of the container including its bottom. The knob (520) may be circular or polygonal.Figure 74 shows a cross-sectional view of the assembly (800"') of the present invention comprising a pouch (521). As can be seen from the figure, the outlet of the pouch is connected to the outlet (514) of the applicator (700). The assembly (800"') may optionally include a button (520) (in dotted lines).ExamplesTests were performed using an applicator and a container similar to those in Figs. 69 to 71. The condition of the bristle applicator was evaluated after repeated use, respectively. Photographs were taken after every 30 cycles of use (cap opening and closing).As can be seen from Fig. 75, the bristles of the applicator are not damaged even after 150 cycles of opening and closing the cap of the present invention.The fastest overview of the applicator nozzle 901 of FIG. 76 can be obtained with reference to FIG. 77. Fig. 77 shows the applicator spout 901 forming part of the applicator cap 902 of the invention, which Fig. 84 shows as a whole.It can be clearly seen in FIG. 77 that the applicator nozzle 901 comprises a fastening section 6, which serves for placing on, screwing on and preferably for latching on a storage container, not shown, or another feed device, not shown here, such as a dispensing gun. If designed as a disposable sleeve with a disposable container, the latching is preferably designed such that it forms a seal because it cannot be released again without tools or without destruction. Furthermore, the applicator sleeve 901 comprises a neck portion 905, which preferably has a smaller diameter than the fastening portion 506, generally over its entire length. Finally, the applicator spout 901 comprises a set of bristles 3. The particular features of the set of bristles 3 and dispensing tube 904 and cap 910 with its spike 911 closing the dispensing tube will be explained in more detail later.The end of the applicator sleeve facing the fastening portion 506 is referred to here as proximal end and the end of the applicator sleeve facing away from the fastening portion 906 is referred to as distal end.The neck portion 905 of the applicator spout is preferably designed such that it forms the longest of the different portions of the applicator spout in the direction parallel to the longitudinal axis L of the applicator spout.The outer jacket of the neck portion 905 preferably forms a cone angle KW between 7° and 10° with the applicator nozzle longitudinal axis.The cooperation according to the invention of the neck portion 905 of the applicator nozzle with the closure cap is shown in FIG. 83 and above all in FIG. 83a.As can be seen here well, the conical seat of the neck portion 905 of the applicator spout 901 and the preferably likewise conical inner seat 912 of the closure cap already interact in a centering manner with one another even before the spike 911 has started to enter the dispensing tube 904. This means that the closure cap and the applicator nozzle are each designed to be so long in the direction of the nozzle longitudinal axis L that, starting from the moment at which it comes to rest on the neck portion 905 of the applicator nozzle over the full surface of its inner circumference for the first time, the closure cap can be pushed along the neck portion by more than the length corresponding to the depth of penetration of the spike 911 into the interior of the dispensing tube. In this way, the required precentration is achieved in order to allow the mandrel 911 to reliably penetrate into the dispensing tube 904, which is of delicate design, and to prevent it from striking the wall of the dispensing tube 904, with less careful pushing, in such a way that either this and / or the mandrel are deformed and no secure sealing is achieved.A configuration is preferred in which the closure cap must already slide along at least 1.5 mm, preferably at least 2 mm, in a form-fitting manner on the applicator nozzle 901 in the direction of its end stop or in the direction of the applicator longitudinal axis (or in the direction of the applicator longitudinal axis, which generally coincides with the applicator nozzle longitudinal axis) before the spike 911 starts to penetrate into the dispensing tube 904. In this way, a particularly good precentration is achieved.Ideally, the applicator nozzle 901 and the closure cap have, at least in sections, respective conical seats provided for interaction with one another, the cone angles of which are identical or substantially identical, + / -2°.The inner diameter of the inner seat 912 of the closure cap 910 is preferably smaller than the outer diameter of the neck portion 905 with which it comes into full-surface contact for the purpose of precentration-in such a way that the closure cap, in the course of its further being pushed onto the neck portion until reaching its end position in the radial direction-even before any latching members are passed over and ensure further expansion-is expanded more than only insignificantly, preferably by at least 0.2 mm, better by at least 0.35 mm, and / or that the outer diameter of the neck portion 905 is compressed by at least such an amount in the radially inward direction, cf. also the black arrows in FIG. 83 a. In this case, the conical seat, via which the two said parts are in contact, is preferably designed so flat in the manner described above that the closure cap can nevertheless be pushed up to its end position without the need for a force exertion which is perceived as unpleasant by the user / user. Precisely this clamping of the closure cap 910 on the neck portion 905 leads to a very precise and reliable precentration.It should also be noted that the attachment section 906 of the applicator sleeve, due to its jump in diameter with which it merges into the neck section 905 of the applicator sleeve, forms a radially outwardly projecting stop 917 for the free end ring surface of the closure cap. The closure cap abuts against this stop 917 when it is in the fully closed position, cf. FIG. 83.In this state, the latching elements 916 (preferably latching beads) of the neck portion 905, which are preferably formed only locally at two or better three points along an imaginary circumferential circle, then also engage in the latching element 913 of the closure cap, which latching element is usually formed continuously in the circumferential direction, and this can also be clearly seen with reference to FIG. 83. It should also be noted that only locally acting latching elements are advantageous for the invention--since the closure cap is already expanded in the radial direction independently of and even before reaching or passing over the latching elements for the purpose of precentration--an excessively large further expansion is thus prevented by the latching elements, which would then be perceived as being difficult.Optionally, the applicator spout is provided with ribs 921 on the inside. These ribs may be locally attached at, for example, three evenly distributed spaced locations. These ribs then impart increased rigidity to the neck portion of the closure cap, so that the latter can only be pressed elastically inward in the radial direction to a lesser extent, and instead the deformation which occurs when the closure cap is pushed on is largely applied by the latter. It should be noted, however, that these ribs 921 can also serve only or additionally other purposes, for example by being designed as locking ribs which prevent unauthorized unscrewing of the applicator nozzle from the cosmetics storage container.It should be noted that the precentration according to the invention provides a very large free space for the configuration and arrangement of the bristles, because it prevents or substantially prevents the bristles from being unintentionally caught and overloaded with the closure cap 910 during their pushing-on, so that they stand out in an uncontrolled manner immediately.The bristles 903 are preferably injection molded bristles, which are ideally manufactured in a single shot together with the rest of the applicator spout 901. In this way, the bristles 903 pass without any batches into the rest of the applicator sleeve 901, so that gaps or the like which are prone to germination, as are found in subsequently inserted or tufted bristles, are dispensed with. Furthermore, injection-molded bristles also have the advantage that, with a correspondingly small bristle diameter and a correspondingly high injection pressure, the polymer molecule chains are highly oriented in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the bristle during injection molding. This gives the bristle similar properties to those bristles made from extruded filaments where a similar effect occurs in extruding the filament.It can be seen that the conically shaped neck portion 905 of the applicator nozzle preferably merges behind the last third of the applicator nozzle with a jump in diameter into the dispensing tube 904, which is likewise an integral component of the applicator nozzle, i.e. merges integrally into the neck portion 905 of the applicator nozzle. Due to this jump in diameter between the neck portion 905 and the dispensing tube 904, a shoulder 907 is formed here, which surrounds the dispensing tube 904, i.e. a type of end face.The bristles 903 are "set up" on this end face, i.e. they extend from this end face and are preferably oriented such that their longitudinal axis runs parallel to the longitudinal axis L of the applicator nozzle. Here, "parallel" is preferably understood to mean a parallelism which is absolute except for unavoidable tolerances; in individual cases, a parallelism of up to + / -5° may suffice, but this is not preferred.The bristles, as best seen in Figure 79, form a plurality of rims, e.g., three rims K1, K2 and K3, which surround the periphery of the dispensing tube 904 and are each illustrated in Figure 79 by an imaginary curved section drawn with a thick solid line.In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the bristles 903 of all the rims K 1, K 2 and K 3 are all longer than the dispensing tube 904 in the direction of the longitudinal axis L of the spout, cf. FIG. 77. The bristles of each bristle rim are-viewed in the circumferential direction-preferably in alignment one behind the other, their center lines thus intersect a common, imaginary root circle. In some cases, the bristles may be permitted to be raised with some alternate left-right offset from the root circle so that their centerline is adjacent to the imaginary root circle up to + / -40% of the bristle root diameter.It is also noteworthy that the bristles 903 preferably have a conical outer circumferential surface and a diameter which lies between 1.5 mm and 0.45 mm, measured at the bristle base, i.e. at the location at which the bristle 903 merges into the neck portion of the closure cap. If this transition takes place with a fillet or fillet, measurement is carried out in the still undisturbed region of the respective bristle 903 above the fillet or fillet.The length of the bristles in the direction of their longitudinal axis (generally the axis of symmetry) is preferably between 3.5 mm and 7 mm, ideally between 4 mm and 6 mm.Generally, it can be said that the distance between bristles aligned in the circumferential direction is preferably smaller than the bristle root diameter.Bristles within the meaning of the invention are preferably structures whose length in the direction of their longitudinal axis is greater than their maximum diameter by at least a factor of 7. Such long and thin bristles are very flexible. Preferably, the bristle tip (free bristle end) can be deflected laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bristle in a reversible-elastic manner by an amount which corresponds to at least four times, preferably at least six times, the maximum bristle diameter.Ideally, the set consists of at least 36, preferably at least 44 individual bristles, which provides a sufficiently high substance-holding capacity because of the associated increased capillary action.The dispensing tube 904, which is designed in a special manner, allows the realization of a novel application behavior, which is not yet known.The precentration according to the invention thereby promotes the formation of a bristle carrier tube to a particular extent.The dispensing tube 904 has a considerable extent in the direction of the applicator nozzle longitudinal axis L, and its length in this direction corresponds preferably to 45% to 70% of the length of the longest bristles 903 in the direction of the applicator nozzle longitudinal axis.In this way, the dispensing tube 904 discharges the cosmetic emerging via its mouth, unlike hitherto, not only into the foot region of the bristles 903, i.e. into the region of the shoulder 907, but also centrally into the bristle set. In this way, it is particularly well possible to apply or incorporate the cosmetic substance with the aid of the bristles without losing cosmetic substance, because it is namely held by the bristles 903 in the region in which it is to be applied.In order to keep the cosmetic product in the best possible position after it leaves the mouth of the dispensing tube 904, where the application is to take place, the bristle covering is preferably designed in the manner which can be seen with reference to FIG. 81 :Immediately adjacent to the dispensing tube 904 is a row of very closely spaced bristles 903, which here, in this embodiment, form the rim K3. These bristles 903 are preferably those bristles which have the smallest maximum diameter and which are usually also shorter (as viewed in the direction of the applicator nozzle longitudinal axis L) than the other bristles, usually by at least 20%. These bristles are also preferably spaced apart such that the distance between two bristles 903 directly adjacent in the circumferential direction is less than 50% and more preferably less than 40% of the maximum bristle diameter, also measured in the bristle base region. These bristles have a pronounced holding function and ensure that the cosmetic dispensed via the dispensing tube 904 cannot escape immediately into the outer region of the bristle covering, which is of considerable advantage in particular there if it is intended to apply to vertically oriented surfaces, such as, for example, to eye brows.In the radially outward direction, this is followed by a bristle row which here forms the ring K 2. These bristles preferably have a greater maximum bristle diameter than the bristles of the innermost rim just described. They are then overall more solid, i.e. their diameter at a specific distance from the shoulder 909 is in each case greater than the diameter of the bristles of the first ring at the same distance from the shoulder 909. They thereby ensure that the user intuitively maintains the mouth of the dispensing tube 904 at a distance from the main part being treated, which helps to avoid unpleasant pitting. The distance between two bristles directly adjacent in the circumferential direction is here preferably at least 50%, better at least 60%, of the maximum bristle diameter, likewise measured in the bristle base region, so that these bristles can satisfy the distribution function provided to them.Again in the radially outward direction, this is followed by a further bristle row, which here forms the rim K 3. Ideally, these bristles have the same diameter as the aforementioned bristles of the second bristle row or are at least more densely than the bristles of the first ring, in the above-mentioned sense.However, these bristles 903 of this ring are preferably set up more closely than the bristles of the immediately preceding ring K 2, preferably such that the distance between two immediately adjacent bristles, again viewed in the circumferential direction, is less than 50% of the maximum bristle diameter, likewise measured at the bristle base.Noteworthy is the configuration of the dispensing tube 904. As can be seen very well with reference to FIG. 77, the dispensing tube 904 is preferably designed such that its inner lateral surface and preferably also its outer lateral surface run conically.The dispensing tube 904 preferably has its largest diameter at its root portion above the location where it is attached to the neck portion 905 of the applicator spout. The maximum outer diameter Dmax of the dispensing tube 904 is preferably at most 5.5 times the maximum bristle diameter here. On the other hand, it is preferred that the dispensing tube 904 be substantially thicker throughout than the individual bristles. Its smallest outer diameter is preferably at least 3 times the maximum bristle diameter. The smallest diameter of the dispensing tube 904 is preferably found where the dispensing tube 904 forms a mouth through which the cosmetic is dispensed outwardly into the bristle set. The wall thickness of the dispensing tube 904, which is usually constant along the length of the dispensing tube, is preferably quite small and then has at most the amount of the maximum bristle diameter, + / -15% when viewed generously.It can be clearly seen in FIG. 77 that the dispensing tube 904 is connected to the neck portion of the applicator spout via a thin point 908 which is usually continuous in the circumferential direction and is thus annular. This thin location is a location where the wall thickness is locally reduced, and is preferably locally less than the wall thickness of the dispensing tube 904 itself. This thin area 908 is preferably designed such that it produces a considerable notch effect, i.e. intentional weakening. This thin portion 908 then has the result that the entire dispensing tube 904 can execute a certain pivoting movement about the thin portion 908, which functions as a type of hinge, in the direction transverse to the applicator nozzle longitudinal axis L.This configuration allows the dispensing tube 904 to align itself under the influence of the forces which the pin 911 of the closure cap 910 exerts when entering the mouth of the dispensing tube 904, in such a way that a good interaction with the pin 911 of the closure cap is possible and the pin 911 of the closure cap can enter the dispensing tube 904 deeper.It is also important to note that the relatively thin wall thickness with which the dispensing tube 904 is embodied here additionally leads to the dispensing tube not being absolutely rigid, but rather having a certain elasticity in itself. Together with the fact that the dispensing tube is shorter than the bristles surrounding it, this leads to the dispensing tube 904 not being perceived as a hard, needle-like foreign body, for example, during the application or massage of the cosmetic substance, but being so soft that its occasional contact with the skin area to which the cosmetic is to be applied does not appear to be further disruptive.Figures 81 and 82 show the details of cap 910.As can be seen, the closure cap 910 is equipped with a conical inner seat 912.In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the closure cap 910 is tapered on the inside over its entire length, but the mentioned inner seat 912 only takes up a part (preferably only a part of less than 35%) of the closure cap inner length and / or has a greater taper than the remainder of the closure cap. The inner seat 912 preferably has a cone angle KW between 7° and 10°.At its open end, the closure cap is also provided with a latching member 913, which is designed here in the form of a latching groove.From the inner end face of the closed end face of the closure cap 910, a spike 911 for closing the opening of the applicator spout or of the dispensing tube 904 that discharges the cosmetic protrudes inward. The mandrel 911 is generally positioned coaxially with the central longitudinal axis LVK.This mandrel 911 preferably has a conical stem section 914 and a preferably cylindrical or less conical centering section 915. With this centering section, the mandrel first penetrates into the dispensing tube 904. It is ideally designed in such a way that toward the end of the closing movement, its more powerful conical stem section 914 penetrates into the mouth of the dispensing tube 904 and expands it elastically, so that a not inconsiderable elastic prestress exists between the mandrel and the inner surface of the mouth of the dispensing tube and a tight closure is thereby ensured.What is not shown here is the fact that the mandrel is preferably again provided at its free, inwardly projecting end with a conical section which centers the mandrel on first contacting the mouth of the dispensing tube 904 and thereby facilitates the penetration of the mandrel into the mouth of the dispensing tube 904.What can be clearly seen on the other hand from FIG. 83 is the advantage that results from the conical inner lateral surface of the dispensing tube 904: the mandrel 911 actually produces a considerable pressing only in the region of the mouth of the dispensing tube 904 (i.e. at least to less than 1 / 4, better to less than 1 / 6 of the length of the dispensing tube), while it can easily be inserted into the dispensing tube 904 by the interior of the dispensing tube 904 widening in the radial direction in the direction of the longitudinal axis. In this way, the mandrel can be pushed into the dispensing tube 904 quite deeply and reliably, without an exo-ribitantly rising pressure occurring very rapidly between the mandrel and the dispensing tube 904 as soon as the mandrel also penetrates only slightly deeper into the dispensing tube 904.In this exemplary embodiment, the fastening section 906 of the applicator sleeve 901 is designed in such a way that it has an inner skirt 919, which is inserted in particular into the mouth of the associated cosmetics storage container, which is not shown here in detail, so that the mouth of the cosmetics storage container is forced between the skirt 919 and the outer wall 920 of the fastening section 906 and is thus securely sealed. Otherwise, the locking element still falls onto the fastening section 906, which is shown here as a circumferential locking section 918, with the aid of which the applicator nozzle 901 can be locked onto the neck of the cosmetics storage container or else onto a corresponding flange of a gun supplied with the cosmetic by a metering pump.Independently of what has been claimed hitherto, protection is also claimed for an applicator, preferably in the form of an applicator nozzle, which is in any case equipped with a bristle covering which is preferably injection-molded integrally onto an end ring surface and which is grouped annularly around a dispensing tube 904 which projects outwards from the end ring surface in the direction of the applicator nozzle longitudinal axis L and projects beyond the end ring surface and forms the orifice which dispenses the cosmetic, bristles which accommodate the dispensing tube between them projecting from the end ring surface, and the orifice of the dispensing tube (as viewed in the direction along the bristle longitudinal axes) being above the bristle roots and below the free end of the bristles.Further Embodiment Possibilities of the InventionFIG. 84 shows a variation of the first exemplary embodiment in which the bristles, unlike in the first exemplary embodiment, are not formed integrally with the applicator sleeve 901. Instead, the distal end face of the applicator spout is provided with a mounting recess, preferably in the form of a groove 922, which is preferably configured to be circumferentially closed upon itself and to encircle the dispensing tube 904. It serves for fastening or receiving a bristle carrier 923. Ideally, the receiving recess and the bristle carrier are matched to one another such that the bristle carrier can be clamped in the receiving recess in a frictionally locking manner and / or locked in a positively locking manner.The bristle carrier is provided with a plurality of bristles, each spaced apart from one another over the entire length by an intermediate space. The bristles are integrally injection-molded onto the bristle carrier or are formed as bristles of extruded filaments and, likewise all spaced apart from one another over the entire length, are integrally connected to the bristle carrier 923 in such a way as will be explained in the same way below for a further modification.Apart from this, the statements already made for the first exemplary embodiment apply to these bristles.The bristle carrier and the bristles can be produced separately from the applicator nozzle, which brings with it two advantages, which can each be realized alone or together:On the one hand, a special plastic material can be used for the bristle carrier and the bristles, which plastic material better supports the loads to which the bristle set is exposed in the applicator according to the invention. On the other hand, it becomes possible in a particularly simple manner with greatly reduced tool complexity to use one and the same spout applicator for the application of cosmetics with the most varied viscosities without having to make compromise in the application behavior. This is because the applicator closure according to the invention can be combined with different bristle carriers, which each have different types of crew and / or crew densities, to form a system with which different requirements can be taken into account, and protection is also claimed for this purpose.It should also be noted that, in this modification of the first exemplary embodiment, too, the dispensing tube can be flexible and fastened to the applicator sleeve forming a thin point-not shown here-as has been described in detail for the first exemplary embodiment.FIG. 85 shows a further modification of the first exemplary embodiment with the aid of a detail illustration of the spout applicator shown in FIG. 77.Here, the bristles-unlike that which may be in the first embodiment-are not integrally connected to the applicator spout because they have not been injection molded together with the applicator spout. Instead, the bristles here consist of extruded filaments or fibers. Each of the filaments is spaced apart from the adjacent filaments over the entire length, i.e. there is no tuft. Before the injection molding of the applicator sleeve, each filament or the respective beginning of an extruded continuous fiber wound up on a reel has been introduced into the injection mold in such a way that the material of the sleeve forming the distal end face has flowed around and embedded the ends projecting into the injection mold. In this case, preferably at least partially, the embedded fiber or filament ends are welded or bonded to the bushing material. Otherwise, the fiber or filament ends also have sufficient hold in the spout material by form-fitting.The production of the bristles from extruded fibers or filaments possible in this way is of particular interest for the invention.Due to the fact that the dispensing tube protrudes far into the bristle covering and the bristle covering has the task of keeping the cosmetic that has exited via the dispensing tube in the area of the treated skin portion for a still long period of time, the bristle covering is on the one hand subjected to strong bending loads, while on the other hand it must maintain its precise shape for as long as possible in order to be able to fulfil its holding function.In order to meet this, the use of bristles made of extruded material has proven particularly successful. This is because extruded bristles have a "bend recovery capability" which, although it approaches bristles injection-molded under certain requirements, cannot be fully achieved to date. This is of considerable importance especially in those applicators whose bristle set ultimately consists only of a narrow ring of very fine bristles which are subjected to high bending stresses in both the radially inward and the radially outward direction during use (because of the free space which the dispensing tube forces in the center).Here too, for the sake of completeness, it should be noted that, in this modification of the first exemplary embodiment as well, the dispensing tube can be flexible and fastened to the applicator spout forming a thin point-not shown here-as has been described in detail for the first exemplary embodiment.Quite generally, with reference to all exemplary embodiments, the following should be noted:In order to generate the application behavior according to the invention, it is particularly favorable if a specific bristle-air ratio is present at the distal end face of the applicator sleeve 901:The interior 924, which is delimited by the imaginary, generally rotationally symmetrical, enveloping surface which is applied to the free outer circumferential surface of the bristle covering and the distal end surface of the bristle covering, and by the distal end surface of the applicator sleeve and by the dispensing tube 904 protruding therefrom, is ideally filled with bristles to the extent of at least 30%, better to the extent of at least 40%, while the remaining volume is an air space.The interior 924 joined in said manner is well seen from Fig. 86, it is the space that lies within the conspicuous black solid line.List of
