  • Patent number: 10017003
    Abstract: A cap (1) for a pen or pencil (100) has an opening (2) for the introduction of the pen or pencil (100) and a sealing bead (3) that extends radially inwards and runs around the longitudinal axis (L) of the cap (1) with a closed contour. The cap (1) has at least one first component (K1) with a first flexibility and a second component (K2) with a second flexibility that is greater than the first flexibility. The interior (7) of the cap (1) in the region lying opposite the opening (2) in relation to the sealing bead (3) and in the region of the sealing bead (3) is delimited by the first component (K1). The second component (K2) lies on the outside in the region of the sealing bead (3) along a closed contour on the first component (K1). The adjustability of the cap (1) by a force acting in the radial direction in the region of the sealing bead (3) is greater than in a region lying opposite the opening (2) in relation to the sealing bead (3).

  • Patent number: 9265328
    Abstract: An applicator device for applying a mass in the form of a stick (1) extending longitudinally along a longitudinal axis (M), comprising a rotatable part (10) through which the stick (1) is guided and which has an exit opening (12) for the stick (1), a hollow shaft (41) coupled to the rotatable part (10) via an axially fixed rotatable connection for axially advancing the stick (1), a body (20) fixedly connected to the hollow shaft (41), and a cap (30) for the rotatable part (10), which is detachably connected to the hollow shaft (41), the axially fixed rotatable connection being formed by a coupling portion of the rotatable part (K.2) and a complementary counterpart coupling portion (K.1) of the hollow shaft (41) in a coupling portion (K) in which the hollow shaft (41) and the rotatable part (10) engage with each other.

  • Patent number: 7789582
    Abstract: An applicator device for a fluid, pasty, gel-like, wax-like or powder product, comprising an applicator having a working region, a first conveyor having a first conveyor element, a second conveyor having a second conveyor element, a first adjusting element and a second adjusting element which are rotatable relative to each other, wherein at least in a first operating position the first conveyor responds to rotation of the two adjusting elements relative to each other and at least in a second operating position the second conveyor responds to rotation of the two adjusting elements relative to each other, and actuation of the second conveyor causes axial displacement of the second conveyor element with respect to the first and second adjusting elements, more specifically by equal distances.

  • Publication number: 20060222440
    Abstract: A process for the production of a pencil comprising a front casing portion having a longitudinal axis, and a lead holder with a holding region which is adjustable in its internal dimensions transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis. The lead is at least partially introduced into the holding region while a front end of the holding region is outside the front casing portion of the pencil or is aligned with a front opening of the front casing portion and the front end of the holding region is pushed from the front into the front casing portion.
