Sobald das Kosmetikprodukt verbraucht ist oder nicht mehr benutzt werden soll, kommt die bekannte Austauscheinheit als Ersatz für eine entsprechende Stifteinheit zum Einsatz, wobei die Austauscheinheit zusammen mit dem Basis-Stiftmodul den kompletten Kosmetikstift wieder ergibt.A generic cosmetic product exchange unit is known through public prior use. As soon as the cosmetic product is used up or is no longer to be used, the known exchange unit is used as a substitute for a corresponding pencil unit, with the replacement unit, together with the basic pencil module, returning the complete cosmetic pencil.

Die Austauscheinheiten, die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt sind, sind aufwändig in der Herstellung.The replacement units known in the art are expensive to manufacture.

Aus der WO 92/09220 A1 ist eine Mine für einen Kosmetikstift bekannt, die in eine rohrförmige Hülse eines Kosmetikstifts eingefüllt ist. Die Hülse wird im Inneren eines Griffteils des Kosmetikstifts montiert, wobei ein im Inneren des Griffteils vorspringender Ringwulst eine Schnappverbindung mit einer entsprechenden Ringnut der Hülse bildet. Die Mine kann über einen Stempel des Kosmetikstifts ausgeschoben werden.From the WO 92/09220 A1 a refill for a cosmetic pencil is known, which is filled in a tubular sleeve of a cosmetic pencil. The sleeve is mounted inside a handle portion of the cosmetic pencil, wherein an annular bead projecting in the interior of the handle portion forms a snap connection with a corresponding annular groove of the sleeve. The mine can be pushed over a stamp of the cosmetic pencil.

Die US 3 468 612 und die WO 87/07822 A1 zeigen einen Kosmetikstift mit einer Abdeckkappe.The US 3 468 612 and the WO 87/07822 A1 show a cosmetic pencil with a cap.

Ein weiterer Kosmetikstift ist aus der US 5 230 577 bekannt. Ein weiterer Sitft mit einer über ein Betätigungsrad betätigbaren Minen-Vorschubeinrichtung ist bekannt aus der JP 2001 252 132 A und aus der US 3 989 392 .Another cosmetic pencil is from the US 5,230,577 known. Another Sitft with a operable via an operating wheel mine feed device is known from the JP 2001 252 132 A and from the US 3,989,392 ,

Es ist daher eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Austauscheinheit der eingangs genannten Art derart weiter zu bilden, dass der Herstellungsaufwand hierfür vermindert ist.It is therefore an object of the present invention to further develop an exchange unit of the type mentioned in the introduction, so that the manufacturing outlay for this purpose is reduced.

Die Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine Austauscheinheit mit den im Kennzeichnungsteil des Anspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.The object is achieved by an exchange unit with the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß wurde erkannt, dass es nicht erforderlich ist, mechanische Wirkkomponenten der Vorschubeinrichtung des Kosmetikstifts in der Austauscheinheit zu verbauen. Derartige Wirkkomponenten der Vorschubeinrichtung sind bei der erfindungsgemäßen Austauscheinheit weggelassen und komplett im Basis-Stiftmodul verbaut. Es resultiert eine einfach aufgebaute Austauscheinheit, die entsprechend kostengünstig hergestellt werden kann. Die Austauscheinheiten können separat von den Basis-Stiftmodulen mit den Vorschubeinrichtungen befüllt, gelagert und vertrieben werden. Die Komplettierung der Basis-Stiftmodule zu den vollständigen Kosmetikstiften kann erst beim Kunden oder unmittelbar vor der Auslieferung erfolgen. Durch die Verwendung der Austauscheinheiten ist es möglich, die Vorschubeinrichtungen als hochwertige Mechaniken auszuführen, die zu einem entsprechenden Preis vertrieben werden können. Derartige Mechaniken können beispielsweise aus eloxiertem Aluminium hergestellt werden. Die hochwertigen Mechaniken können vielfach genutzt werden, indem jeweils wieder neue Austauscheinheiten zum Ersatz gegen verbrauchte Stifteinheiten eingesetzt und mit der Vorschubeinrichtung des Basis-Stiftmoduls verbunden werden. Es ist zudem möglich, die Austauscheinheiten mit unterschiedlichen Kosmetikprodukten, insbesondere auch mit unterschiedlichen Abmessungen, zum Beispiel mit unterschiedlichen Minendurchmessern zur Verfügung zu stellen. Benutzer können daher bei Kauf nur eines einzigen Basis-Stiftmoduls zwischen verschiedenen Kosmetikprodukten, zum Beispiel verschiedenen Farben, und auch verschiedenen Minendurchmessern wählen, ohne hierzu jeweils ein komplett neues Basis-Stiftmodul zu erwerben. Die Abschlusskappe, welche zum Lagern der Austauscheinheit das Austauschgehäuse auf der Seite der Kolben-Verbindungskomponente verschließt, schützt den Kolben.According to the invention, it has been recognized that it is not necessary to install mechanical active components of the advancing device of the cosmetic pencil in the replacement unit. Such active components of the feed device are omitted in the exchange unit according to the invention and completely installed in the base pin module. The result is a simply constructed exchange unit, which can be manufactured according to cost. The exchange units can be filled, stored and distributed separately from the base pin modules with the feed devices. The completion of the basic pen modules to the complete cosmetic pencils can be done only at the customer or immediately before delivery. By using the exchange units, it is possible to design the feeders as high-quality mechanisms that can be distributed at an appropriate price. Such mechanisms can be made for example of anodized aluminum. The high-quality mechanisms can be used in many ways, by each new exchange units used to replace worn pin units and connected to the feed device of the base pin module. It is also possible to exchange units with different cosmetic products, in particular with different dimensions, for example, to provide different diameters. Users can therefore choose between different cosmetic products, for example, different colors, and also different diameters when buying only a single base-pin module, without each purchase a completely new base pen module. The end cap, which closes the exchange housing on the side of the piston connection component for supporting the exchange unit, protects the piston.

Ein Kosmetikstift 1 hat ein Stiftgehäuse 2 mit einem Kosmetikprodukt-Gehäuseabschnitt 3 und einem Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitt 4. Das Stiftgehäuse 2 mit dem Kosmetikprodukt-Gehäuseabschnitt 3 und dem Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitt 4 ist aus SAN-ABS gefertigt. Der Kosmetikprodukt-Gehäuseabschnitt 3 hat einen Konus-Gehäusekörper 5, der z. B. beim Lagern des Kosmetikstifts 1 von einer Abdeckkappe 6 abgedeckt ist. Die Fig. 2 zeigt die Abdeckkappe 6 aufgeschoben auf den Konus-Gehäusekörper 5, wobei die Abdeckkappe 6 an einen Umfangsbund 7 des Konus-Gehäusekörpers 5 anschlägt. Eine nicht näher dargestellte leichte Hinterschneidung des Konus-Gehäusekörpers 5 und der Abdeckkappe 6 sorgen dafür, dass die Abdeckkappe 6 am Konus-Gehäusekörper 5 bei Anlage am Umfangsbund 7 formschlüssig gehalten und damit gesichert ist. Gleichzeitig kann die Abdeckkappe 6 von einem Benutzer leicht vom Konus-Gehäusekörper 5 abgezogen werden.A cosmetic stick 1 has a pen housing 2 with a cosmetic product housing section 3 and a feed housing section 4. The pen housing 2 with the cosmetic product housing section 3 and the feed housing section 4 is made of SAN-ABS. The cosmetic product housing section 3 has a cone housing body 5, the z. B. is covered by a cap 6 when storing the cosmetic pencil 1. The Fig. 2 shows the cap 6 is pushed onto the cone housing body 5, wherein the cap 6 abuts against a peripheral collar 7 of the cone housing body 5. A not shown light undercut of the cone housing body 5 and the cap 6 ensure that the cap 6 is held positively on the cone housing body 5 when it rests against the peripheral collar 7 and thus secured. At the same time, the cap 6 can be easily removed from the cone housing body 5 by a user.

Dem Umfangsbund 7 benachbart weist der Konus-Gehäusekörper 5 dem Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitt 4 zugewandte Bajonettsegmente 8 auf, die bei montiertem Konus-Gehäusekörper 5 in einer entsprechenden inneren Umfangsausnehmung des Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitts 4 einrasten. Die Bajonettsegmente 8 bilden zusammen mit der entsprechenden Bajonettaufnahme im Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitt 4 einen Bajonettverschluss zur Verbindung dieser beiden Gehäusekomponenten. Anstelle eines Bajonettverschlusses ist auch eine Rastverbindung möglich.Adjacent to the circumferential collar 7, the cone housing body 5 has bayonet segments 8 facing the feed housing section 4, which engage in a corresponding inner circumferential recess of the feed housing section 4 when the cone housing body 5 is mounted. The bayonet segments 8 together with the corresponding bayonet mount in the feed housing section 4 a bayonet lock for connecting these two housing components. Instead of a bayonet lock and a snap connection is possible.

Im Konus-Gehäusekörper 5 ist ein Kosmetikprodukt in Form einer Mine 9 angeordnet. Letztere ist aus dem Konus-Gehäusekörper 5 aus einer Minenöffnung 10 von diesem ausfahrbar. Zum Ausfahren der Mine 9 dient eine im Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitt 4 untergebrachte Vorschubeinrichtung 11, die nachfolgend noch beschrieben wird.In the cone housing body 5, a cosmetic product in the form of a mine 9 is arranged. The latter can be extended from the cone housing body 5 from a lead opening 10 of this. For extending the mine 9 is a housed in the feed housing section 4 feed device 11, which will be described below.

Die Mine 9 steht mit einem im Konus-Gehäusekörper 5 geführten Kolben 12 in Schubverbindung. Dabei ist die Mine 9 in einer napfförmigen Auf nahme des Kolbens 12 gehalten. Die Mine 9 hat einen Durchmesser von 6 mm. Die Aufnahme des Kolbens 12 hat einen hierzu korrespondierenden Innendurchmesser. Auch andere Minendurchmesser sind möglich. Insbesondere ist auch ein Minendurchmesser von 8 mm möglich. An dem Kolben 12 ist eine Kolben-Verbindungskomponente 13 angeformt, deren Außendurchmesser im Vergleich zum Außendurchmesser des sonstigen Kolbens 12 verringert ist. Komplementär zu Bajonettsegmenten der Kolben-Verbindungskomponente 13 sind Umfangsaufnahmen einer hülsenförmigen Verbindungskomponente 14 einer Kolben-Schubstange 15 ausgebildet. Die Kolben-Schubstange 15 ist aus POM gefertigt. Die Kolben-Schubstange 15 steht mit dem Kolben 12 in Schubverbindung und ist auf der der Mine 9 abgewandten Seite des Kolbens 12 angeordnet. Über die aus den Verbindungskomponenten 13 und 14 gebildete Bajonettverbindung ist eine formschlüssige, sichere Verbindung zwischen dem Kolben 12 und der Vorschubeinrichtung 11, zu der die Kolben-Schubstange 15 gehört, geschaffen.The mine 9 is in thrust connection with a piston 12 guided in the cone housing body 5. The mine 9 is held in a cup-shaped acceptance of the piston 12. The mine 9 has a diameter of 6 mm. The receptacle of the piston 12 has a corresponding inner diameter. Other mine diameters are possible. In particular, a minimum diameter of 8 mm is possible. On the piston 12, a piston connecting component 13 is formed, whose outer diameter is reduced compared to the outer diameter of the other piston 12. Complementary to bayonet segments of the piston connection component 13, circumferential receptacles of a sleeve-shaped connection component 14 of a piston push rod 15 are formed. The piston push rod 15 is made of POM. The piston push rod 15 is connected to the piston 12 in thrust connection and is arranged on the side facing away from the mine 9 of the piston 12. About the The bayonet connection formed by the connection components 13 and 14 is a positive, secure connection between the piston 12 and the feed device 11, to which the piston push rod 15 belongs.

Zur Vorschubeinrichtung 11 gehört weiterhin eine Betätigungs-Schubstange 16. Letztere steht mit der Kolben-Schubstange 15 in Schubverbindung. Die Betätigungs-Schubstange 16 ist aus POM gefertigt. Dies geschieht über ein Anschlagpaar aus einem ersten Anschlag 17, der an der Betätigungs-Schubstange 16 angeordnet ist und einer axial längs der Kolben-Schubstange 15 hintereinander äquidistant zueinander angeordneten Mehrzahl von zweiten Anschlägen 18. In der in Fig. 2 dargestellten Vorschubstellung wirkt der erste Anschlag 17 der Betätigungs-Schubstange 16 mit den in der Fig. 2 am weitesten links angeordneten zweiten Anschlag 18 zusammen, so dass die Mine 9 in einer Ausgangsposition mit vollständig in das Stiftgehäuse 2 eingezogenem Kolben 12 vorliegt.The feed device 11 further includes an actuating push rod 16. The latter is connected to the piston push rod 15 in thrust connection. The actuating push rod 16 is made of POM. This is done via a stop pair of a first stop 17, which is arranged on the actuating push rod 16 and an axially along the piston push rod 15 in a row equidistant from each other arranged plurality of second stops 18. In the in Fig. 2 shown feed position acts the first stop 17 of the actuating push rod 16 with the in the Fig. 2 the leftmost second stop 18 together, so that the mine 9 is present in a starting position with fully retracted into the pin housing 2 piston 12.

Insgesamt liegen auf einer Höhe zwei Reihen zweiter Anschläge 18 vor, zwischen denen die Betätigungs-Schubstange 16 läuft.Overall, there are two rows of second stops 18 at one level, between which the actuating push rod 16 runs.

Dort, wo die Betätigungs-Schubstange 16 zwischen den beiden Reihen zweiter Anschläge 18 läuft, bis hin zum dem Anschlagpunkt 19 zugewandten Ende der Kolben-Schubstange 15 sind die beiden Schubstangen 15, 16 zueinander geführt, so dass eine definierte Relativbewegung der beiden Schubstangen 15, 16 zueinander möglich ist. Diese Führung geschieht durch eine komplementäre Querschnittsgestaltung benachbarter Abschnitte der Schubstange 15, 16. Bei dieser Führungseinrichtung handelt es sich um eine T-Nutführung.There, where the actuating push rod 16 between the two rows of second stops 18 runs up to the stop point 19 facing the end of the piston push rod 15, the two push rods 15, 16 are guided to each other, so that a defined relative movement of the two push rods 15, 16 is possible to each other. This guide is done by a complementary cross-sectional configuration of adjacent sections of the push rod 15, 16. In this guide device is a T-slot guide.

Die Betätigungs-Schubstange 16 hat auf ihrer vom Kolben 12 abgewandten Seite einen Anlage-Umfangsbund 19. Der Außendurchmesser des Anlage-Umfangsbundes 19 entspricht dem Innendurchmesser des Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitts 4. Ein dem Anlage-Umfangsbund 19 benachbartes freies Ende 20 der Betätigungs-Schubstange 16 trägt als Betätigungselement einen Bedienknopf 21, der auf das freie Ende 20 aufgerastet ist. Der Bedienknopf 21 ragt nach Art eines Bedienknopfes für einen Kugelschreiber aus dem der Mine 9 gegenüberliegenden Ende des Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitts 4 hinaus. In eine Gehäuseöffnung des Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitts 4, aus der der Bedienknopf 21 herausragt, ist ein nach Art einer Hülse geformter Stopfen 22 eingerastet, der vom Bedienknopf 21 durchdrungen wird. Der Bedienknopf 21 ist aus SAN-ABS gefertigt. Der Stopfen 22 ist aus SAN-ABS gefertigt. Eine innere Stirnwand des Stopfens 22 liegt am Anlage-Umfangsbund 19 der Betätigungs-Schubstange 16 an. Auf der dem Stopfen 22 gegenüberliegenden Seite liegt am Anlage-Umfangsbund 19 eine Kunststoff-Vorspannfeder 23 an. Die Kunststoff-Vorspannfeder 23 ist aus POM gefertigt. An ihrem gegenüberliegenden freien Ende stützt sich die Kunststoff-Vorspannfeder 23 an einen nach innen vorspringenden Umgangsbund 24 des Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitts 4 ab. Dieser Umfangsbund 24 ist einer Trennlinie zwischen dem Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitt 4 und dem Konus-Gehäusekörper 5 nahe benachbart.The actuating push rod 16 has on its side facing away from the piston 12 side a plant-Umfangsbund 19. The outer diameter of the Anlage-Umfangsbundes 19 corresponds to the inner diameter of the feed housing section 4. A the plant-Umfangsbund 19 adjacent free end 20 of the actuating push rod sixteenth carries as an actuating element a control knob 21 which is latched onto the free end 20. The control knob 21 protrudes in the manner of a control knob for a pen from the mine 9 opposite end of the feed housing portion 4 also. In a housing opening of the feed-housing section 4, from which the control knob 21 protrudes, a shaped like a sleeve stopper 22 is engaged, which is penetrated by the control knob 21. The control knob 21 is made of SAN-ABS. The plug 22 is made of SAN-ABS. An inner end wall of the plug 22 abuts the abutment circumferential collar 19 of the actuating push rod 16. On the opposite side of the plug 22 is located on the plant circumferential collar 19, a plastic biasing spring 23 at. The plastic biasing spring 23 is made of POM. At its opposite free end, the plastic bias spring 23 is supported on an inwardly projecting handle 24 of the feed housing section 4. This peripheral collar 24 is closely adjacent a parting line between the feed housing section 4 and the cone housing body 5.

Benachbart zur Stirnwand des die Bajonettsegmente 8 tragenden freien Endes des Konus-Gehäusekörpers 5 hat die Kunststoff-Vorspannfeder 23 einen Zwischenboden 25. Letzterer hat eine in etwa rechteckige Durchtrittsöffnung 26, durch die die Kolben-Schubstange 15 hindurchgeführt ist.Adjacent to the end wall of the bayonet segments 8 bearing free end of the cone housing body 5, the plastic biasing spring 23 has an intermediate bottom 25. The latter has an approximately rectangular passage opening 26 through which the piston push rod 15 is passed.

Teil der Vorschubeinrichtung 11 ist eine Anschlagwechseleinrichtung 27. Mit letzterer erfolgt zum Vorschub der Mine 9 ein Wechsel des ersten Anschlags 17 zwischen einem der zweiten Anschläge 18, mit dem der erste Anschlag 17 momentan zusammenwirkt und der auch als zweiter Momentanschlag bezeichnet wird, und einem axial benachbarten weiteren zweiten Anschlag 18, der auch als Ziel-Anschlag bezeichnet wird. Die Anschlagwechseleinrichtung hat einen Mitnehmerkörper 28, der an der Betätigungs-Schubstange 16 an deren freiem, dem Kolben 12 zugewandten Ende angeformt ist. Der Mitnehmerkörper 28 trägt beidseitig nach Art von Flügelstummeln die beiden auf gleicher Höhe angeordneten ersten Anschläge 17.Part of the feed device 11 is a stop changing device 27. With the latter is carried out to advance the mine 9, a change of the first stop 17 between one of the second stops 18, with which the first stop 17 currently cooperates and which is also referred to as the second instantaneous stop, and an axially adjacent further second stop 18, which is also referred to as a target stop. The abutment change device has a driver body 28 which is integrally formed on the actuating push rod 16 at its free, the piston 12 facing the end. The driver body 28 carries on both sides in the manner of wing stubs the two arranged at the same height first stops 17th

Mit dem Mitnehmerkörper 28 wirkt eine Auflauframpe 29 zusammen. Letztere ist im Zwischenboden 25 der Kunststoff Vorspannfeder 23 ausgeführt, die wiederum am Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitt 4 festgelegt ist. Die Auflauframpe 29 ist also am Stiftgehäuse 2 festgelegt.With the driver body 28 a ramp 29 acts together. The latter is carried out in the intermediate bottom 25 of the plastic biasing spring 23, which in turn is fixed to the feed housing section 4. The ramp 29 is thus fixed to the pin housing 2.

Auch die Kunststoff-Vorspannfeder 23 gehört zur Anschlagwechseleinrichtung 27.The plastic biasing spring 23 also belongs to the stop changing device 27.

Die axial hintereinander äquidistant zueinander angeordneten zweiten Anschläge 18 sind nach Art von Sägezähnen ausgebildet. Die jeweils steile, in der Praxis senkrecht ausgeführte Flanke dieser Sägezahn-Ausgestaltung stellt die zweiten Anschläge 18 dar. Zwischen diesen senkrechten Wandabschnitten verlaufen schräge Wandabschnitte 30. Die Neigung dieser schrägen Wandabschnitte 30 gegenüber einer Längsachse des Stiftgehäuses 2 ist derart gering, dass die Flügelstummel des Mitnehmerkörpers 28 in zur Vorschubrichtung entgegen gesetzter Richtung auf den schrägen Wandabschnitten 30 gleiten können, ohne dass hierbei die Kolben-Schubstange 15 relativ zum Stiftgehäuse 2 axial verlagert ist.The axially behind each other equidistantly arranged second stops 18 are formed in the manner of sawteeth. The respective steep, in practice perpendicular flank of this sawtooth configuration represents the second stops 18. Between these vertical wall sections extend oblique wall sections 30. The inclination of these inclined wall sections 30 relative to a longitudinal axis of the pin housing 2 is so small that the wing stubs of Mitnehmerkörpers 28 can slide in the direction opposite to the feed direction on the inclined wall portions 30, without in this case the piston-push rod 15 is displaced axially relative to the pin housing 2.

Der Kosmetikstift 1 wird folgendermaßen montiert:The cosmetic pencil 1 is mounted as follows:

Zunächst wird die Kunststoff Vorspannfeder 23 in den Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitt 4 bis zum Anschlagbund 24 eingeschoben. Ein Steg an der Stopfenseite des Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitts 4, der mit einer entsprechenden Nut am Umfang der Kunststoff-Vorspannfeder 23 zusammenwirkt, stellt sicher, dass die Kunststoff-Vorspannfeder 23 nur in einer vorgegebenen Orientierung in den Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitt 4 eingeschoben werden kann. Der Innendurchmesser des Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitts 4 ist auf den Außendurchmesser der Kunststoff Vorspannfeder 23 so abgestimmt, dass die beiden Teile in der Montageendposition leicht miteinander klemmen. Nun wird die Kolben-Schubstange 15 in die Kunststoff-Vorspannfeder 23 eingeführt. Dies geschieht in der Fig. 2 von links. Die Position und der Querschnitt der Durchtrittsöffnung 26 erlauben hierbei nur eine korrekte Einführorientierung der Kolben-Schubstange 15 in die Kunststoff-Vorspannfeder 23. Die Kolben-Schubstange 15 wird in die Kunststoff-Vorspannfeder 23 eingeführt, bis die Schubstangen-Verbindungskomponente 14 der Kolben-Schubstange 15 am Zwischenboden 25 der Kunststoff-Vorspannfeder 23 anschlägt. Anschließend wird die bereits mit dem aufgesetzten Bedienknopf 21 versehene Betätigungs-Schubstange 16 in der Fig. 2 von rechts her in den Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitt 4 eingesetzt und führungsmäßig in die Komplementärführung der Kolben-Schubstange 15 eingefädelt.First, the plastic biasing spring 23 is inserted into the feed housing section 4 to the stop collar 24. A web on the plug side of the feed housing section 4, which cooperates with a corresponding groove on the circumference of the plastic biasing spring 23, ensures that the plastic biasing spring 23 can be inserted into the feed housing section 4 only in a predetermined orientation. The inner diameter of the feed housing section 4 is matched to the outer diameter of the plastic biasing spring 23 so that the two parts easily clamped together in the final assembly position. Now, the piston push rod 15 is inserted into the plastic bias spring 23. This happens in the Fig. 2 from the left. The position and the cross section of the passage opening 26 in this case only allow a correct insertion orientation of the piston push rod 15 in the plastic biasing spring 23. The piston push rod 15 is inserted into the plastic biasing spring 23 until the push rod connection component 14 of the piston push rod 15 abuts the intermediate bottom 25 of the plastic biasing spring 23. Subsequently, the already provided with the attached control knob 21 actuating push rod 16 in the Fig. 2 inserted from the right into the feed housing section 4 and threaded leadership in the complementary guidance of the piston push rod 15.

Beim Einschieben der Bestätigungs-Schubstange 16 in den Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitt 4 kommt der erste Anschlag 17 der Betätigungs-Schubstange 16 zunächst mit dem in der Fig. 3 am Weitesten rechts liegenden zweiten Anschlag 18 der Kolben-Schubstange 15 in Eingriff. Die Betätigungs-Schubstange 16 schiebt die Kolben-Schubstange 15 beim weiteren Einschieben so lange vor sich her, bis der Mitnehmerkörper 28 der Betätigungs-Schubstange 16 auf die Auflauframpe 29 aufläuft. Dabei gerät der erste Anschlag 17 außer Eingriff mit dem zweiten Momentananschlag 18. Die Kolben-Schubstange 15 kann dann in der Fig. 2 nach rechts bis in die Ausgangsposition zurückgedrückt werden. Nun wird der Stopfen 22 in den Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitt 4 eingedrückt und eingerastet. Hierbei wird die Kunststofffeder zwischen dem Umfangsbund 19 und dem Umfangsbund 24 leicht vorgespannt.When inserting the confirmation push rod 16 in the feed housing section 4, the first stop 17 of the actuating push rod 16 comes first with in the Fig. 3 the far rightmost second stop 18 of the piston push rod 15 in engagement. The actuating push rod 16 pushes the piston push rod 15 during further insertion so long ago until the driver body 28 of the actuating push rod 16 runs onto the ramp 29. It gets the first stop 17 disengaged from the second instantaneous stop 18. The piston push rod 15 can then in the Fig. 2 pushed back to the right to the starting position. Now, the plug 22 is pressed and engaged in the feed housing section 4. Here, the plastic spring between the peripheral collar 19 and the peripheral collar 24 is slightly biased.

Bei einer Betätigung des Bedienknopfes 21, also bei einem Einschieben von diesem in das Stiftgehäuse 2, wird durch den Eingriff des ersten Anschlags 17 mit dem zweiten Momentananschlag 18 die Kolben-Schubstange 15 durch die Betätigungs-Schubstange 16 zunächst um einen Vorschubweg vorgeschoben, der mindestens so groß ist, wie der Abstand zwischen zwei zweiten Anschlägen 18. Nach diesem Vorschubweg ist der Mitnehmerkörper 28 soweit auf die Auflauframpe 29 aufgelaufen, dass der erste Anschlag 17 mit dem zweiten Momentananschlag 18 außer Eingriff kommt. Ein weiterer Vorschub der Kolben-Schubstange 15 findet daher, unabhängig davon, ob der Bedienknopf 21 noch weiter in das Stiftgehäuse 2 eingedrückt wird, nicht mehr statt. Beim Loslassen des Bedienknopfes 21 wird letzterer aufgrund der Vorspannung der Kunststoff-Vorspannfeder 23 wieder in die in der Fig. 2 dargestellte Ruhestellung zurückgeschoben, bis der Umfangsbund 19 am Stopfen 22 anliegt. Bei diesem Zurückschieben gleitet der Mitnehmerkörper 28 auf den schrägen Wandabschnitten 30 der Kolben-Schubstange 15. Die Kolben-Schubstange 15 wird hierbei relativ zum Stiftgehäuse 2 axial nicht verlagert, so dass in der Ruhestellung des Bedienknopfes 21 der erste Anschlag 17 nunmehr mit dem zweiten Ziel-Anschlag 18 in Eingriff kommen kann, der dem vorherigen zweiten Momentananschlag 18 axial, und zwar in Fig. 2 axial rechts, benachbart ist.Upon actuation of the control knob 21, so with an insertion of this in the pin housing 2, the piston push rod 15 is first advanced by the operation push rod 16 by a feed path by the engagement of the first stop 17 with the second instantaneous stop 18, the at least is as large as the distance between two second stops 18. After this feed path of the driver body 28 has accumulated so far on the ramp 29, that the first stop 17 with the second instantaneous stop 18 is disengaged. Another feed of the piston push rod 15 is therefore no longer independent of whether the control knob 21 is pressed further into the pin housing 2. When releasing the control knob 21, the latter is due to the bias of the plastic bias spring 23 back into the in the Fig. 2 shown rest position pushed back until the circumferential collar 19 abuts the plug 22. During this pushing back the driver body 28 slides on the inclined wall portions 30 of the piston push rod 15. The piston push rod 15 is hereby not axially displaced relative to the pin housing 2, so that in the rest position of the control knob 21, the first stop 17 now with the second target Stop 18 can be engaged, which is the previous second instantaneous stop 18 axially, in Fig. 2 axially right, adjacent.

Fig. 4 bis 6 zeigen eine Kosmetikprodukt-Austauscheinheit 31 für ein Basis-Stiftmodul 32 des Kosmetikstiftes 1. Das Basis-Stiftmodul 32 umfasst sämtliche Komponenten des Kosmetikstiftes 1 ohne den Kosmetikprodukt-Gehäuseabschnitt 3, den Kolben 12 und die Mine 9. 4 to 6 show a cosmetic product replacement unit 31 for a base post module 32 of the cosmetic pencil 1. The base post module 32 comprises all the components of the cosmetic pencil 1 without the cosmetic product housing section 3, the piston 12 and the refill 9.

Die Kosmetikprodukt-Austauscheinheit 31 hat ein Austauschgehäuse 33, welches identisch ist zum Kosmetikprodukt-Gehäuseabschnitt 3, also den Konus-Gehäusekörper 5 und die Abdeckkappe 6 aufweist. Eine auf das Austauschgehäuse 33 aufgesetzte und mit diesem über einen Bajonettverschluss verriegelte Abschlusskappe 34 verschließt das Austauschgehäuse 33 auf der Seite des Kolbens 12. Die Abschlusskappe 34 ist aus Polypropylen (PP) hergestellt. Eine im Bereich der Stiftgehäuse-Längsachse am Boden der Abschlusskappe 34 angeformte Auflage 35 dient zur definierten Anlage der Kolben-Verbindungskomponente 13. Im Austauschgehäuse 33 der Kosmetikprodukt-Austauscheinheit 31 sind die Mine 9 und der Kolben 12 in gleicher Orientierung und Lage zum Konus-Gehäusekörper 5 wie beim Kosmetikprodukt-Gehäuseabschnitt 3 des Kosmetikstifts 1 angeordnet.The cosmetic product replacement unit 31 has a replacement housing 33 which is identical to the cosmetic product housing section 3, that is to say the cone housing body 5 and the cover cap 6. A mounted on the replacement housing 33 and locked with this via a bayonet cap 34 closes the exchange housing 33 on the side of the piston 12. The end cap 34 is made of polypropylene (PP). In the region of the pin housing longitudinal axis at the bottom of the end cap 34 molded support 35 serves for defined conditioning of the piston connection component 13. In exchange housing 33 of the cosmetic product exchange unit 31, the mine 9 and the piston 12 in the same orientation and position to the cone housing body 5 as the cosmetic product housing portion 3 of the cosmetic pencil 1 arranged.

The feed housing section 40 is made SAN-ABS manufactured. At stub axles 41, which are led out on both sides of the operating wheel 39, gears 42 are formed on the operating wheel 39 respectively. The gears 42 mesh with two parallel rack sections 43 of a piston push rod 44 of the cosmetic pencil 1 after the Fig. 7 to 9 , The piston push rod 44 is made of POM. To the rack sections 43, facing the piston 12, the push rod connecting body 14 is formed, which is identical to the push rod connecting body 14 of the embodiment according to the Fig. 1 to 3 is executed. The piston push rod 44 in turn passes through the passage opening 26 of the plastic biasing spring 23.

Die Achsenstummel 41 des Betätigungsrads 39 sind in Rastaufnahmen 45 eines Blenden-Gehäuseabschnitts 46 eingerastet. Der Blenden-Gehäuseabschnitt 46 ist aus SAN-ABS hergestellt. Der Blenden-Gehäuseabschnitt 46, der das Betätigungsrad 39 umgibt, ist wiederum in eine Aufnahme des Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitts 40 eingerastet.The stub axles 41 of the actuating wheel 39 are latched in latching receptacles 45 of a diaphragm housing section 46. The bezel housing portion 46 is made of SAN-ABS. The bezel housing section 46, which surrounds the operating wheel 39, is in turn latched into a receptacle of the feed housing section 40.

Auch bei der Montage des Kosmetikstifts 1 nach den Fig. 7 bis 9 wird zunächst die Kunststoff-Vorspannfeder 23 in den Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitt 40 eingeführt, wie dies im Zusammenhang mit der Montage des Kosmetikstifts 1 nach den Fig. 1 bis 3 erläutert wurde. Anschließend wird der Stopfen 22 in den Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitt 40 in der Fig. 8 von rechts her eingeschoben und eingerastet. Nun wird die Kolben-Schubstange 44 in der Fig. 8 von links her durch die Durchtrittsöffnung 26 in die Kunststoff-Vorspannfeder 23 eingeführt. Das Betätigungsrad 39 wird in die Rastaufnahme 45 des Blenden-Gehäuseabschnitts 46 eingerastet und anschließend wird der Blenden-Gehäuseabschnitt 46 in die Aufnahme des Vorschub-Gehäuseabschnitts 40 eingerastet. Durch Drehen des Betätigungsrades 39 kann die Mine 9 aus der Minenöffnung 10 heraus geschoben oder wieder zurück in das Stiftgehäuse 2 hinein geschoben werden.Also with the assembly of the cosmetic pencil 1 after the Fig. 7 to 9 First, the plastic biasing spring 23 is inserted into the feed housing portion 40, as in connection with the assembly of the cosmetic pencil 1 after the Fig. 1 to 3 was explained. Subsequently, the plug 22 in the feed-housing portion 40 in the Fig. 8 inserted and locked in place from the right. Now, the piston push rod 44 in the Fig. 8 introduced from the left through the passage opening 26 in the plastic biasing spring 23. The actuating wheel 39 is latched into the latching receptacle 45 of the diaphragm housing section 46 and then the diaphragm housing section 46 is latched into the receptacle of the feed housing section 40. By turning the operating wheel 39 the mine 9 can be pushed out of the mine opening 10 or pushed back into the pin housing 2 again.

Bei beiden Ausführungsformen, also bei der Ausführungsform nach den Fig. 1 bis 3. mit dem Bedienknopf 21 zum Minenvorschub und bei der Ausführung nach den Fig. 7 bis 9 mit dem Betätigungsrad 39 zum Minenvorschub ist der Profilquerschnitt der Kolben-Schubstange 15 bzw. 44 auf den Innenquerschnitt der Durchtrittsöffnung 26 in der Kunststoff-Vorspannfeder so abgestimmt, dass beim Verschieben der Kolben-Schubstange 15 bzw. 44 eine Reibung in der Führung durch die Durchtrittsöffnung 26 auftritt. Diese Reibung ist bei der Ausführung nach den Fig. 1 bis 3 größer als die Reibung zwischen der Kolben-Schubstange 15 und der Betätigungs-Schubstange 16. Dies unterstützt, dass bei der Rückkehr der Betätigungs-Schubstange 16 von der Betätigungs- in die Ruhestellung die Kolben-Schubstange 15 nicht unerwünscht von der Betätigungs-Schubstange 16 mitgenommen wird. Bei der Ausführung nach den Fig. 7 bis 9 bewirkt die Reibung zwischen der Kolben-Schubstange 44 und der Innenwand der Durchtrittsöffnung 26, dass ein gewisser axialer Druck auf die Mine 9 bei der Benutzung ausgeübt werden kann, ohne dass dies dazu führt, dass sich die Mine 9 unerwünscht in das Stiftgehäuse 2 zurückschiebt.In both embodiments, ie in the embodiment of the Fig. 1 to 3 , with the operating button 21 for lead feed and in the execution of the Fig. 7 to 9 with the operating wheel 39 for lead feed the profile cross-section of the piston push rod 15 and 44 is matched to the inner cross section of the passage opening 26 in the plastic biasing spring so that when moving the piston push rod 15 and 44, a friction in the guide through the passage opening 26 occurs. This friction is in the execution of the Fig. 1 to 3 greater than the friction between the piston push rod 15 and the actuating push rod 16. This assists that upon return of the push rod 16 from the actuation position to the inoperative position, the piston push rod 15 is not undesirably carried along by the actuation push rod 16 becomes. In the execution of the Fig. 7 to 9 causes the friction between the piston push rod 44 and the inner wall of the passage opening 26 that a certain axial pressure on the lead 9 can be exercised in use, without causing the mine 9 undesirably pushes back into the pin housing 2.

Bei einer nicht dargestellten Variante des Kosmetikstifts 1 nach den Fig. 7 bis 9 hat das Betätigungsrad 39 nicht zwei seitliche Zahnräder 42, sondern es liegen zwei drehfest miteinander verbundene und parallel zueinander angeordnete Radabschnitte vor, zwischen denen ein drehfest mit beiden Radabschnitten verbundener Zahnradabschnitt angeordnet ist. Der Zahnradabschnitt kämmt dann mit einem zugeordneten Zahnstangenabschnitt einer Kolben-Schubstange des alternativen Kosmetikstifts. Im Unterschied zur Kolben-Schubstange 44 des Kosmetikstifts 1 nach den Fig. 7 bis 9 hat die Kolben-Schubstange dieser alternativen Variante genau einen Zahnstangenabschnitt. Ein vergleichbares Betätigungsrad mit zwei Radabschnitten ist bekannt aus der EP 0 714 638 B1 und wird dort für ein Applikationsgerät für Dentalmasse eingesetzt.In a variant of the cosmetic pencil 1, not shown, after the Fig. 7 to 9 the actuating wheel 39 does not have two lateral gears 42, but there are two non-rotatably connected and mutually parallel wheel sections, between which a non-rotatably connected to both wheel sections gear section is arranged. The gear portion then meshes with an associated rack portion of a piston push rod of the alternative cosmetic pencil. In contrast to the piston push rod 44 of the cosmetic pencil 1 after the Fig. 7 to 9 Has the piston push rod of this alternative variant exactly one rack section. A comparable operating wheel with two wheel sections is known from the EP 0 714 638 B1 and is used there for an application device for dental material.
