Container and applicator unit
A container and applicator unit, in particular test unit, comprises a container for a cosmetic. An applicator top is placed thereon, having an applicator that stands out from the top in a principal sense of extension. The applicator, at least by sections, is rotationally symmetrical or plurally symmetrical in relation to an axis of symmetry that is parallel to the principal sense of extension. At least one passage, which, at least by sections, is decentralized from the axis of symmetry of the applicator, leads from the container to the applicator. The result is a container and applicator unit by which to enable a cosmetic to be spread uniformly on the surface of application.
1. A container and applicator unit comprising a container for a cosmetic; an applicator top ( 1 ) that is placed on the container, having an applicator ( 2 ) which extends out therefrom wherein the applicator ( 2 ) comprises only a plurality of separate fibers ( 20 ) engaged to each other at an upper side of the applicator top,
wherein all of said fibers are hollow and each serve as an extension of a passage through the applicator top from an inside of said container and have a plurality of decentralized outlets,
wherein free ends of all of said fibers are aligned in the same plane to form a common application surface which is inclined to the longitudinal axis of the applicator so that a free end of the applicator is wedge shaped,
wherein two wedge shaped cutting edges formed as a unit with he applicator top extend down from a bottom side of said applicator top, pierce a perforated upper wall on the container and form a lower part of the passage from the inside of said container through the applicator top into said hollow fiber, and
wherein a central axis of the fibers, the passage and the cutting edges are coaxial with the longitudinal axis ( 4 a ) of the applicator unit.
2. A container and applicator unit according to claim 1 , wherein the applicator ( 2 ) comprises a plurality of individual fibers ( 4 ), with at least the free ends of the individual fibers ( 4 ) being treated.
3. A container and applicator unit according to claim 1 , wherein the applicator ( 2 ) comprises a plurality of individual fibers ( 4 ), with at least the free ends of the individual fibers ( 4 ) being coated.
4. A container and applicator unit according to claim 1 , wherein the applicator ( 2 ) comprises a plurality of individual fibers ( 4 ), with at least the free ends of the individual fibers ( 4 ) having an anti-adhesive layer.
5. A container and applicator unit according to claim 4 , wherein the anti-adhesive is Teflon (PTFE).
6. A container and applicator unit according to claim 1 , wherein the applicator unit is a test unit.
