Patent number: 10470549Abstract: A wiper for wiping a cosmetic applicator, having a first component, in particular a holding section, for fastening the wiper to a cosmetic reservoir, and at least two wiper arms arranged thereon and exhibiting wiping action. The invention aims to provide a wiper, in which the intensity of the wiping and the resistance with which the wiper opposes the withdrawal of the applicator and the actual applicator section are in a favourable ratio to one another, and an actuation from outside in order to achieve a change to the distal diameter of the wiper inside the applicator container is not necessary. This aim is achieved in that at least one of the wiper arms is fastened by means of at least one hinge to the first component, in particular the holding section.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2015Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: GEKA GmbHInventor: Friedrich Weigel
