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: 8561621Abstract: The present invention relates to an applicator (1) having an applicator element (8) for applying a product, conveyed to the application zone (5) from a separate reservoir, onto a strand of hair or of fibers comparable therewith, and having a strand gripper (12) movable back and forth between a closed position and a opened position. A strand gripper (12) of this kind serves to select and subsequently guide the hair or strands during actual product application. For improved guidance of the hair or strands during product application, the strand gripper (12) comprises a guidance surface (13) that, with the gripper (12) in the closed position, entirely overlaps the application zone (5) and holds the strand in contact with the application zone (5), by preference presses it onto the application zone (5).Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2010Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: Henkel AG & Co.

Publication number: 20130020340Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetics container for a liquid or pasty cosmetic product, which includes a storage container and a closure cap. The closure cap can be detachably locked on the storage container in its closing position using a locking device. The locking device includes a clip lever that is disposed on the outside of the storage container, or on the outside of the closure cap. The clip lever may be pivotably mounted with a hinge, and may include a latching arm pointing away from the hinge and a pressing arm pointing in the opposite direction away from the hinge. The latching arm may be configured with a latching member that is capable of engaging in a positive fir with a corresponding latching member formed on the storage container or cap such that this positive fit can be released again by manually applying a pressing force onto the pressing arm.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2012Publication date: January 24, 2013Applicant: GEKA GMBHInventors: Manuela Geuther, Werner Fischer
