Abstract

A dispensing opening plate for applicators for cosmetic preparations. The plate comprises at least one dispensing opening that comprises one or more teeth or prongs which extend from an inner wall of the opening into a center of the opening.

Claims (20)

1. A container which comprises a cosmetic preparation therein, wherein the cosmetic preparation comprises particles and the container comprises a dispensing opening plate, which plate comprises at least one dispensing opening that comprises one or more teeth or prongs which extend from an inner wall of the opening into a center of the opening, a ratio of an average diameter of the particles to a diameter of the at least one dispensing opening being from 1:1 to 0.5:1.

2. The container of claim 1 , wherein the particles have a diameter of from 0.5 mm to 5 mm.

3. The container of claim 1 , wherein a ratio of an average diameter of the particles to a diameter of the at least one dispensing opening is from 1:1 to 0.8:1.

4. The container of claim 1 , wherein a smallest free diameter (d f ) of the at least one dispensing opening defined by the teeth or prongs is smaller than a largest free diameter (d i ) without the teeth or prongs by 10% to 50%.

5. The container of claim 1 , wherein a smallest free diameter (d f ) of the at least one dispensing opening defined by the teeth or prongs is from 0.5 mm to 3 mm.

6. The container of claim 1 , wherein a largest free diameter (d i ) of the at least one dispensing opening without the teeth or prongs is from 1 mm to 5 mm.

7. The container of claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the at least one dispensing opening is from 1 mm to 2 mm, the teeth or prongs reducing a free opening to from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm.

8. The container of claim 1 , wherein the at least one dispensing opening is substantially frustoconical in shape, a larger diameter thereof being present on a surface side which is oriented toward an interior of the container.

9. The container of claim 1 , wherein a periphery of the dispensing opening is one of rounded and provided with a chamfer or hollow.

10. The container of claim 1 , wherein the teeth or prongs are positioned in the dispensing opening such that they are offset inward into the dispensing opening, as seen from an outer dispensing opening plate surface, by a distance which corresponds to 10% to 75% of the average particle diameter.

11. The container of claim 1 , wherein the particles are nipped or split by the teeth or prongs projecting into the at least one dispensing opening as they pass through the opening.

12. The container of claim 1 , wherein the preparation is at least one of an antiperspirant preparation and a deodorant preparation.

13. The container of claim 12 , wherein the preparation is in gel form.

14. The container of claim 1 , wherein the particles are free-floating.

15. A container which comprises a cosmetic preparation therein, wherein the cosmetic preparation is at least one of an antiperspirant preparation and a deodorant preparation in gel form which comprises therein free-floating particles having a diameter of from 0.5 mm to 5 mm and wherein the container comprises a dispensing opening plate, which plate comprises at least one dispensing opening that comprises one or more teeth or prongs which extend from an inner wall of the opening into a center of the opening, a ratio of an average diameter of the particles to a diameter of the at least one dispensing opening being from 1:1 to 0.8:1.

16. The container of claim 15 , wherein a smallest free diameter (d f ) of the at least one dispensing opening defined by the teeth or prongs is smaller than a largest free diameter (d i ) without the teeth or prongs by 10% to 50%.

17. The container of claim 15 , wherein a smallest free diameter (d f ) of the at least one dispensing opening defined by the teeth or prongs is from 0.5 mm to 3 mm.

18. The container of claim 17 , wherein a largest free diameter (d i ) of the at least one dispensing opening without the teeth or prongs is from 1 mm to 5 mm.

19. The container of claim 15 , wherein the teeth or prongs are positioned in the dispensing opening such that they are offset inward into the dispensing opening, as seen from an outer dispensing opening plate surface, by a distance which corresponds to 10% to 75% of the average particle diameter.

20. The container of claim 15 , wherein the particles are nipped or split by the teeth or prongs projecting into the at least one dispensing opening as they pass through the opening.
