Container for an applicator mass, particularly for a toilet product or a cosmetic product
First Claim
1. Container for a mass applicator, comprising:
- a reservoir vessel (12) having an opening;
a closure (14) for said opening;
an applicator (30) having an axis and having a periphery radial that is disposed at varying distances from said axis within the same plane at right angles to said axis, said applicator being movable along said axis to selectively immerse said applicator in said vessel and to selectively withdraw said applicator through said opening of said vessel;
an applicator mass stripper (80) for engaging a peripheral portion of said applicator, said applicator mass stripper being disposed in said vessel at a position where said stripper can engage said applicator as said applicator is withdrawn through said opening, the angle between a predetermined point on said stripper and a predetermined point on said periphery with respect to said axis being changeable to vary the engagement between said applicator and applicator mass stripper; and
means, operationally connecting said applicator and said applicator mass stripper and providing at least one detent position between said applicator and applicator mass stripper, for providing at least one preselected angle between said predetermined point on said stripper and predetermined point on said periphery with respect to said axis.

Abstract
The invention relates to a container for an applicator mass, particularly for a toilet product or a cosmetic product, the container including a reservoir vessel 12, a closure 14, an applicator 30 which is immersible into the reservoir vessel, and an applicator mass stripper 80 which can be brought into engagement with the applicator. Applicator 30 and stripper 80 are designed and arranged relative to one another in such a manner that if the rotation angle orientation of applicator 30 relative to stripper 80 is different, the length of the circumference of the applicator which is in stripping engagement with the stripper is different. An additional apportioning stripper 60 may be provided to keep clean shaft 32 of applicator 30.

37. Container for a mass applicator, comprising:
-
a reservoir vessel having an opening; a closure for said opening; an applicator having an axis and having a periphery that is disposed at varying radial distances from said axis within the same plane at right angles to said axis, said applicator being movable along said axis to selectively immerse said applicator in said vessel and to selectively withdraw said applicator through said opening of said vessel; and an applicator mass stripper disposed in said vessel at a position where said stripper can engage said applicator for wiping a portion of the periphery thereof as said applicator is withdrawn through said opening, the angle between a predetermined point on said stripper and a predetermined point on said periphery with respect to said axis being changeable to vary the size of the portion of said periphery that is wiped. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40)
