According to the invention, provision is made such that the apparatus can adopt a second operating state in which the longitudinal axes of both of the objects held by it enclose a second angle different from the first angle.
An applicator instrument assembly (1; 1a; 1*) comprising a collecting element (10), on which at least two applicator instruments (20a-1; 20b-1; 20c-1, 20c-2, 20c-3; 20a-1, 20a-2, 20a-3, 20a-4) each having a respective main axis (H) substantially determined by the elongate extent of the instrument are bunched. An applicator instrument has at least one active end with a cap (30a; 30a-1, 30a-2; 30b; 30b-1, 30b-2; 30c; 30d; 30d-1, 30d-2, 30d-3, 30d-4) and possibly a passive end (40), and at least one connecting element (60; 60a; 60b; 60c; 60d) for connection to the collecting element in the region of the passive end and/or on the cap. The collecting element is connected to each applicator instrument by way of the respective connecting element.
The invention relates to a pin having a longitudinal axis and a handle grip, wherein the inner contour of the handle grip comprises at least one concave segment in a first section plane transverse to the longitudinal axis. According to the invention, the inner contour of the handle grip comprises at least one convex segment in a second section plane intersecting the first section plane at the longitudinal axis (figure 3).
The invention concerns a pen or pencil comprising a casing, the outside contour of which forms two or more gripping surfaces (12, 14, 16). According to the invention it is provided that there is at least one intermediate region (18, 20, 22) which is between two adjacent gripping surfaces in the peripheral direction and in which the outside contour of the casing is radially within a notional intersection line (24) of the two adjacent gripping surfaces. The invention further concerns a casing of such a pen or pencil.
An applicator device (1) for the application of products like writing fluids and cosmetic compositions including an applicator unit (10) having a casing (2) and at least one applicator member (12) with at least one applicator tip (14), wherein there is additionally provided a gripping element (30) having at least one overload protection (32) for the applicator tip (14), wherein the gripping element (30) with the at least one overload protection (32) is coupled to the applicator unit in such a way that the gripping element (30) moves reversibly relative to the applicator unit (10) when a defined axial load is exceeded along the longitudinal axis of the applicator unit in the direction of the applicator tip (14).
The invention relates to a device for storing and applying a fluid product (12), comprising a tank (10) for storing the product in free form, a conveyor conduit (14) projecting into the tank, an applicator device (18) connected to the conveyor conduit, and a passage (22) which has a first and a second mouth opening (24, 26) and in which a portion (30) of the conveyor conduit is disposed, wherein the first mouth opening of the passage is disposed in the tank, the second mouth opening is connected to the interior of the tank only by way of the conveyor conduit, and the conveyor conduit projects out of the passage beyond the first mouth opening into the tank. According to the invention, in any position of the device with respect to the direction of the force of gravity the volume of the tank that is beneath the first mouth opening is greater than a nominal filling volume of the device.
