Abstract

A device for applying a removable substance in the form of a baton, has a substance carrier and a protective sleeve so that the substance carrier can be made to move relative to the protective sleeve. A movement part has a longitudinal slot in which the substance carrier is guided by a peg, and the substance carrier can be moved between a retracted position and an extended position. The longitudinal slot has a retaining portion assigned to the extended position, the central longitudinal axis of which runs at an angle to a central longitudinal axis of a movement portion of the longitudinal slot. The central longitudinal axis of the retaining portion and the central longitudinal axis of the movement portion enclose an obtuse angle.

Claims (28)

1. A device ( 1 ) for applying a transferable substance (M) in the form of a stick, comprising:

a substance carrier ( 2 ),

a protective sleeve ( 4 ) for the substance carrier ( 2 ), wherein the substance carrier ( 2 ) is configured to be displaced relative to the protective sleeve ( 4 ) in order to displace a free end region of the substance (M) into a freely projecting position, and

a movement part ( 5 ) with a longitudinal slot ( 6 , 6 ′), in which the substance carrier ( 2 ) is guided with a peg ( 7 ) engaging into the longitudinal slot ( 6 , 6 ′) such that the substance carrier ( 2 ) can be moved between a retracted position and an extended position,

wherein the longitudinal slot ( 6 , 6 ′) has a retaining portion ( 9 ) assigned to the extended position,

wherein a central longitudinal axis (y) of said retaining portion extends at an angle to a central longitudinal axis (z) of a movement portion ( 8 ) of the longitudinal slot ( 6 , 6 ′),

wherein the central longitudinal axis (y) of the retaining portion ( 9 ) and the central longitudinal axis (z) of the movement portion ( 8 ) include an obtuse angle (a),

wherein the substance carrier ( 2 ) is accommodated in a counter-retaining cylinder ( 3 ), in an inner wall of which a control groove ( 26 ) for the peg ( 7 ) is formed,

wherein the control groove ( 26 ) has assigned to the extended position an inclined surface ( 27 ) that leads to a transition to the cylindrical inner surface ( 28 ) of the counter-retaining cylinder ( 3 ), and

wherein the peg ( 7 ) is not or only partially in overlap with the inclined surface ( 27 ) in the extended position.

2. A device ( 1 ) for applying a transferable substance (M) in the form of a stick, comprising:

a substance carrier ( 2 ),

a protective sleeve ( 4 ) for the substance carrier ( 2 ), wherein the substance carrier ( 2 ) is configured to be displaced relative to the protective sleeve ( 4 ) in order to displace a free end region of the substance (M) into a freely projecting position, and

a movement part ( 5 ) with a longitudinal slot ( 6 , 6 ′), in which the substance carrier ( 2 ) is guided with a peg ( 7 ) engaging into the longitudinal slot ( 6 , 6 ′), such that the substance carrier ( 2 ) can be moved between a retracted position and an extended position,

wherein the longitudinal slot ( 6 , 6 ′) has a retaining portion ( 9 ) assigned to the extended position,

wherein a central longitudinal axis (y) of said retaining portion extends at an angle to a central longitudinal axis (z) of a movement portion ( 8 ) of the longitudinal slot ( 6 , 6 ′),

wherein friction cams ( 24 ) are formed on the substance carrier ( 2 ) and in frictional contact with the inner surface ( 29 ) of the movement part ( 5 ) during the displacement of the substance carrier ( 2 ),

wherein the friction cams ( 24 ) are designed non-circular with a longer dimension (a) and a shorter dimension (b), and wherein the longer dimension (a) essentially is realized in a direction of the movement portion ( 8 ), and

wherein, in a view of an outer edge ( 25 ) of the friction cam ( 24 ) from radially outside, the greatest dimension in the transverse direction is realized eccentric to the greatest dimension in the longitudinal direction.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the retaining portion ( 9 ) has a catch projection ( 31 ), which is configured to be overrun by the peg ( 7 ), in order to retain the substance carrier ( 2 ) in the extended position.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein two opposing longitudinal slots ( 6 , 6 ′) are formed.

5. The device according to claim 4 , wherein an overrunnable catch projection ( 31 ) is formed in the respective retaining portion ( 9 ) of both longitudinal slots ( 6 , 6 ′).

6. The device according to claim 4 , wherein two pegs ( 7 ) are provided for respectively engaging into one of the longitudinal slots ( 6 , 6 ′).

7. The device according to claim 6 , wherein a control groove ( 26 ) is formed in the counter-retaining cylinder ( 3 ) for each peg ( 7 ).

8. The device according to claim 7 , wherein both control grooves ( 26 ) have an inclined surface ( 27 ) assigned to the extended position.

9. The device according to claim 2 , wherein, in a standing position of the device ( 1 ), in which its longitudinal axis (x) essentially is oriented vertically and the opening for displacing the substance (M) outward in a sliding manner is directed upward, the greatest dimension in the transverse direction is realized underneath a center of the greatest dimension in the longitudinal direction of the catch projection ( 31 ).

10. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the outer edge ( 25 ) of the friction cam ( 24 ) has a drop-shaped contour.

11. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the obtuse angle is between 100 and 170 degrees.
