Abstract: A crayon comprising a holding portion, a cartridge for receiving a refill of a predetermined color and a cover characterized in that the cartridge is of the color of the refill, and a part of the cartridge is visible from the exterior, more specifically even when the cartridge is held by the holding portion and the cover is fitted on to the cartridge.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pen comprising a holding area (10), a cartridge (12) for receiving a refill (14) of a predetermined colour and a protector (16). One part (38) of the cartridge (12) is visible from the outside when the cartridge (12) is held by the holding area (10) and the protector (16) is attached to the cartridge (12). According to the invention, the cartridge (12) has the same colour as the refill, but the colour of the holding area (10) and the colour of the protection system (16) are different from the colour of the refill (14).

Abstract: A device for applying a liquid, paste or gel product to the skin, with a reservoir for the product, an abutment connected by at least one feed channel to the reservoir, and an applicator element that is provided with a plurality of passages for the product and whose outside surface forms an applicator surface. The applicator element is held flexibly and/or movably with respect to the abutment so that it can assume at least one working position in which it, together with the abutment, borders a space to accommodate a predetermined quantity of the product, and where the space is reduced in size under deformation of the applicator element and/or movement of the applicator element with respect to the abutment.

Abstract: A cosmetic applicator for applying a cosmetic product to the skin has a primary reservoir and a secondary reservoir with a conduit interconnecting the primary reservoir with the secondary reservoir. A flexible member is provided for compressing the cosmetic product for feeding same to an application element.

Abstract: A process for producing a stick-like implement, having a first sleeve, having a second sleeve with an insertion section for insertion into the first sleeve, it being possible for the two sleeves to be rotated with respect to one another in the inserted state, having an externally threaded element which is coupled to the second sleeve in a rotationally fixed but axially displaceable manner and is designed to mesh with an internally threaded element which is coupled to the first sleeve in a rotationally fixed manner, with the result that rotation of the two sleeves with respect to one another results in axial displacement of the externally threaded element in relation to the sleeves, and having a filler element which, in the case of corresponding axial displacement of the externally threaded element on account of rotation of the two sleeves with respect to one another, is pushed out of a sleeve opening.

Abstract: Described is a cosmetic pencil (10) having a casing shank portion (12) and a casing front portion (14). A cosmetic stick (24) is displaceable by of a drive element (22) in relation to the front casing opening (40) of the casing front portion (14). In order to be able to move the cosmetic stick (24) both out of the casing and also back into the casing, the drive element (22) is in the form of a tubular stick holding member (26) which is arranged in the casing front portion (14) movably axially in opposite directions. The cosmetic stick (24) which projects out of the stick holding member (26) is fixed with a rear fixing portion (42) in the stick holding member (26).

Abstract: Described is an application system (10) having an applicator (16) and a container (12) in which a liquid application medium (14) is disposed. The applicator (16) has a handle (18) and an applicator member (20) which can be wetted with the liquid application medium, and it can be introduced into the container (12) through an opening (26), with the applicator member (20) leading. Starting from the opening (26), extending into the container (12) is a sleeve (32) which is sealingly fixed to the container (12) with its upper end portion (36) and which at a middle portion (42) is provided with at least one aperture (44) through which the inside of the sleeve (32) is communicated with the interior of the container (12), which surrounds the sleeve (32). The sleeve (32) is also provided with a shaping portion (48) which serves for re-shaping the applicator member (20).

Abstract: In a process for the production of a pencil stick, a pencil stick produced by the process and a pencil having such a stick, a stick material is introduced into a thin-wall tube portion forming a mold, from one end thereof, the tube portion comprising a sharpenable plastic material.
