Container and applicatior unit

Abstract

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.

       3 . A container and applicator unit according to  claim 2 , wherein the applicator ( 2 ) is formed by a comparatively soft material selected from a group consisting of rubber, a thermoplastic elastomer, each of a Shore hardness A of 5 to 100.  
   
   
       4 . A container and applicator unit according to  claim 2 , wherein the applicator ( 2 ) is formed by a PU/PE foam of a pore count of approximately 40 to 100 ppi.  
   
   
       5 . A container and applicator unit according to  claim 2 , wherein the applicator ( 2 ) is formed by a material selected from a group consisting of rubber, TPE or PVC with a flock coating of a material selected from a group consisting of artificial silk, rayon or polyamide.  
   
   
       6 . A container and applicator unit according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one passage ( 9 ) is a supply line which discharges by the side of the applicator ( 2 ), stands out from the applicator top ( 1 ) and ends in particular in the vicinity of the front end of the applicator ( 1 ).  
   
   
       7 . A container and applicator unit according to  claim 6 , wherein the end of the at least one passage ( 9 ) has an outlet ( 10 ) that is skewed towards the applicator ( 2 ).  
   
   
       8 . A container and applicator unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one passage ( 14 ) mouthes into a tubular interior ( 11 ) of the applicator top ( 1 ) by an in particular skewed tip ( 12 ), with an initially central passage, which proceeds from the applicator top ( 1 ), then branching into a plurality of at least partially decentralized passages ( 14 ) and mouthing into a plurality of decentralized outlets.  
   
   
       9 . A container and applicator unit according to  claim 8 , wherein the outlets are covered by thin membranes ( 14   a ) of a material selected from a group consisting of plastic material or sealing material, such as hot-melt adhesive, which are removable when put to use.  
   
   
       10 . A container and applicator unit according to  claim 8 , wherein the applicator ( 2 ) comprises a plurality of hollow fibers ( 20 ), which serve as passages and have a plurality of decentralized outlets.  
   
   
       11 . A container and applicator unit according to  claim 1 , wherein a central passage ( 11 ) discharges into a distribution passage ( 14 ) with a plurality of outlets for an applicator ( 2 ) in the form of a brush.  
   
   
       12 . A container and applicator unit according to  claim 11 , wherein the outlets ( 14 ) are enveloped in the shape of a U by the core ( 18 ) of an applicator brush.  
   
   
       13 . 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.  
   
   
       14 . 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.  
   
   
       15 . 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.  
   
   
       16 . A container and applicator unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the anti-adhesive layer is Teflon (PTFE).
