  • Publication number: 20120282009
    Abstract: The invention relates to a quick-fastening applicator closure comprising a cap-side closure member and a container-side closure member which are twisted relative to one another in order to fix the applicator on the storage container associated with it. A multi-start, preferably double-start, short-threaded portion is provided on at least one of the closure members, whose threads are designed in such a way that the two closure members can be brought from a position in which the threads of the short threaded portion grip for the first time into a fully closed position with a rotary movement less than a ? rotation relative to one another, with additional retaining elements being provided which hold the two closure members firmly against each other in addition to the thread friction that is present anyway, once they have reached their fully closed position.

  • Publication number: 20120279876
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetics container for a liquid or pasty cosmetic, comprising a storage container having a removal opening, and a closure cap for opening and closing this removal opening. The closure cap can be detachably locked in its closing position on the storage container using at least one latching device that acts between the closure cap and the storage container. The cosmetics container further comprises at least one locking device which is able to assume at least one release position and at least one blocking position, and which in the blocking position blocks the latching element in such a way that a lock existing between the closure cap and the storage container cannot be released and the closure cap thus cannot be moved out of its closing position.

  • Patent number: 8292531
    Abstract: The cosmetics unit comprises a storage container for receiving a cosmetic substance therein, an applicator that can be immersed into the cosmetic substance, and an adjustable wiper part unit disposed on a container opening of the storage container, for wiping off cosmetic substance from the applicator. The wiper part unit comprises a deformable wiper, a neck part, and an adjustment sleeve accessible from the outside. The wiper is disposed between the container opening and the neck part. The adjustment sleeve encloses the container opening, the wiper and, partially, the neck part. The adjustment sleeve is rotatably mounted on the neck part as well as on the storage container, so that an axial distance between the container opening and the neck part, an axial dimension of the wiper, and a surface area of a wiper opening of the wiper can be altered by a rotational movement of the adjustment sleeve.
