Abstract: Described is a refilling container for refilling a writing, painting or drawing implement, a cosmetic applicator implement or the like, wherein the implement (44) comprises an applicator member (48) which projects out of a casing and which has a capillary conveying action, for a fluid of relatively low viscosity, a reservoir for the fluid, which is in fluid communication with the applicator member (48), and a vent passage (78) in the vicinity of the applicator member (48). The refilling container (10) is provided with a neck portion (58). The implement (44) to be refilled can be inserted with its applicator member (48) and with a casing portion (46) adjoining the applicator member (48), into the neck portion (58) of the refilling container, in such a way that the neck portion (58) is sealed off by the casing portion (46) and a fluid communication is formed through the vent passage (78) between the refilling container (10) and the reservoir in the implement (44).

Abstract: A device for applying liquid mascara comprises a reservoir for accommodating the mascara and an applicator having an applicator surface with a ribbed profile. At least the part of the applicator which forms the applicator surface comprises a material for conveying the liquid mascara by a capillary action. That material may be a directed fibre material or a porous sintered plastic material.

Abstract: An applicator device for a spreadable material in the form of a stick including a shaft-like gripping portion, and a screw portion connected to the gripping portion in axial alignment therewith and rotatable relative to the gripping portion. The screw portion encloses the stick of material, while secured to the screw portion within same is a screwthreaded sleeve mounted in screwthreaded engagement on a screwthreaded spindle which is mounted axially movably and non-rotatably in the gripping portion, so that the rotation of the screw portion and therewith the screwthreaded sleeve relative to the gripping portion causes axial movement of the spindle within the gripping portion. A pushing assembly engaging the stick is provided at the front end of the spindle and comprises a piston connected to the front end of the spindle and adapted to bear against the end face of the stick and a piston sleeve which surrounds the piston and embraces the end of the stick.

Abstract: An applicator device for nail-varnish has a dosing pump device operating in the axial direction, which cooperates with an actuating element which can be actuated transversely to the axis.
