Patent number: 8702333Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2012Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: GEKA GmbHInventor: Manuela Geuther

Patent number: 8528572Abstract: The part of a cosmetics unit is an applicator in the form of a brush (1). It is implemented as a sandwich injection-molded part consisting of two different plastic component s (9a, 11a). A first inner plastic component (11a) is injected by means of a single joint injection point (14) into a second outer plastic component (9a). The first inner plastic component (11a) and the second outer plastic component (9a) precisely rest against each other everywhere with regard to their contours. A connecting area is formed, so as to be free of gaps everywhere, between the first inner plastic component (11a) and the second outer plastic component (9a). The second outer plastic component (9a) completely encloses the first inner plastic component (11a), with the exception of the injection point (14). The sandwich injection-molded part (1) has a total weight of at most 10 g.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2008Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Geka GmbHInventors: Friedrich Schwab, Dieter Wolfsgruber
