Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to containers for body care agents containing the active substance, in particular sunscreens, toothpastes or lotions.

[0002] Fillers of various body care agents for medicinal or cosmetic effects, consisting of a base and one or more special active substances, are known. Examples include sunscreens, which contain, for example, creams as base and various light-absorbing and / or light-reflecting substances as active substances.

[0003] Since the active substance is responsible for the original therapeutic or cosmetic effect, it is important to apply the active substance at the optimum concentration for the intended purpose. For this reason, known body care agents are usually produced mechanically at specific concentration levels of the active substance and are offered to the market. Thus, for example, sunscreens containing various so-called sunblock factors are present and must be selected according to the sensitivity of the skin type and the intensity of the sun incident light. This fixed stage of the active substance concentration has the disadvantage that the corresponding body care agents cannot flexibly meet the various requirements. Thus, in the case of an exemplary sunscreen, the user is forced to prepare a plurality of containers having various light-blocking factors.

[0004] Aids for the determination of the correct concentration of sunscreens are described, for example, in German Utility Model No. 29513070. This involves measuring the intensity of the UV radiation and, for example, depending on the adjusted value of the skin type and the sunblock factor of the sunscreen, the time during which the user may still be exposed to the sun without danger. A UV meter for calculation is described. Even with the use of such (complex) equipment, the disadvantage of providing sunscreens having only a fixed value of the shielding factor / active substance concentration becomes pronounced.

From U.S. Pat. No. 5,952,627 U1 U.S. Pat. No. 5,079,095 a mixing device is known which is designed especially for the optional mixing of the components of a sunscreen. In this case, the original sunscreen and diluent are stored in two separate compartments. They are brought into contact in a specific ratio in the adjacent mixing chamber, from which they can be transported outward by means of a spray pump. The required mixing ratio is determined by the user using the brown scale (Braeunun), which is provided with the device and which the user compares with the degree of brownness of his skin.
gsskala).

[0006] A disadvantage of the mixing devices described above is that the required mixing of the components in the mixing chamber leads to poor homogeneity when the drug is not very dilute. Also, for removal by spray layer value, it is necessary that the viscosity is small. However, this severely limits the spectrum of drugs that can be used and almost eliminates the use of long-lived, volume-saving concentrates.

[0007] Further, from U.S. Pat.
Adjustable dosing devices for sunscreens and the like are known in which the two substances can be stored separately and removed in an adjustable ratio by one common pump or two separate pumps. The mixing of the components takes place directly at the time of removal, ie on the way to the outlet of the device.

[0008] However, this results in an inadequate mixing of this, eventually resulting in areas with various sunscreens on the skin which can lead to local inflammation. There is a disadvantage that. Furthermore, for simultaneous mixing and transport, it is assumed that each substance is sufficiently liquid, since the resistance for the removal pump will be too large for manual operation unless each substance is sufficiently liquid. And

An apparatus for mixing the reactants, for example as required in the case of two-component adhesives, is described in DE 3738 960. In this case, after each component is squeezed out of the storage cartridge, a stirrer is provided which is driven by an electric motor which mixes the components together. The storage cartridge as well as the connecting tube emerging therefrom are described as disposable. This eliminates the need to clean the device after use and completely replaces the conduit so that there is no damage due to increased blockage of the conduit. On the other hand, when it is desired to use a device for a body care agent instead of a reaction component, it is extremely disadvantageous. Moreover, this results in a large amount of unnecessary waste. However, residues that are not completely removed from the mixing area age, clogging the conduits and making subsequent mixing insufficient.
A complete replacement of the disposable cannot be abandoned.

[0010] In contrast, the present invention comprises at least one active substance which allows the removal of a body care agent having an active substance concentration which is variable and can be adjusted over a wide range of use. The task has been to provide a container for at least one body care agent. In this case, the container can be used to better use up the substance and extend the expiration date, especially in this case ensuring a homogeneous mixing of the components, even with a substance of higher viscosity. It must be. In addition, contamination of the container with mixed residues must be avoided or minimized.

According to the present invention, the object comprises, according to the invention, a base area for accommodating a basic substance of a body care agent and, separately, at least one active substance area for accommodating an active substance, A body as described above, in which the base region and one or more active substance regions are connected to one mixing region, into which the basic substance and the active substance concentrate can be metered in for mixing. Solved by containers for care agents.

[0012] In this case, according to the invention, the mixing zone has a stirring member which can be mixed in order to obtain a homogeneous mixture of the basic substance and the active substance. This is, in particular,
It is also possible if one or two substances have a higher viscosity and can only be mixed poorly by themselves. The homogeneity of the mixed product ensures that the desired effect is also achieved, but this is absolutely necessary for the protection of the skin, for example in the case of sunscreens That is. Furthermore, it allows the use of more viscous concentrates, which reduces the required dimensions of the device,
Reduce waste volume.

[0013] Furthermore, according to the invention, a transport means for active transport of the mixture is arranged before the outlet of the container. This also ensures the availability of the container for (high) viscous media. In addition, the active carrier ensures that after each mixing step, the mixing area is in fact completely drained. It is therefore free of residues which can damage the aging and / or damage subsequent mixing.

[0014] Also, minimizing the size of the mixing zone to the unavoidably required volume is useful for minimizing the mixture residue remaining in the container.

The mixing zone and the conveying zone up to the outlet are preferably operated at a lower pressure than the storage zone for the substances to be mixed. Alternatively, the supply of each component can be performed by overpressure.

In the case of the device according to the invention, the base substance and the active substance are, as usual, mechanically mixed together and then, instead of being provided in fixed concentration values,
In each area, they are first stored separately from each other. The connection of the two zones for the base and active substance concentrates and one mixing zone transfers the desired precisely meterable amounts from the respective substances to the mixing zone, for the first time a careful mixing Thus, it is possible to produce a uniform finished body care agent. This makes it possible, in particular, to adjust the active substance level to an optimum according to the respective requirements. Another advantage of the device according to the invention is that the base substance and the active substance are two
It is kept separate until just before use, so that the negative interaction due to circumstances between the base substance and the active substance can be blocked. This may be the case, for example, when these substances react with each other and thus lead to mutual collapse. Furthermore, the life of body care agents is usually always limited by the life of short-lived components. However, if the base substance and the active substance are kept separate from each other, if one of the two hurts, it can be replaced and continue to be used without replacing another component . Thus, the device according to the invention has the further advantage of extending the life of the product and producing less waste.

The principle of optional mixing of the individual components can be developed in a cascade. Thus, in the case of an independent embodiment of the invention (or alternatively in combination with the device according to the invention as described above), the container is provided with further separate components for the base substance and / or the sub-components of the active substance. It has a reservoir and a mixing area. For example, a base substance can be produced from oil and water in a first mixing chamber. In this case, if desired, the consistency / viscosity of the base substance can be varied from emulsion to cream. The outlet of this first mixing chamber leads into the second mixing chamber, where the mixing of the one or more active substances takes place. These agents may themselves be mixed together from the lower components. Thus, for example, UV
Protecting agents, fragrances, cosmetics and the like can also be mixed together to form active substance combinations. In this case, each component can be introduced from a different area or patrone (exchangeable or refillable unit). Thereby, the emulsifier and / or
Alternatively, it is possible to obtain a preservative-free base substance. Of course, the above-mentioned mixing method can also be carried out carefully and in cascade in any of a number of steps.

For the realization of a transport means for the active transport of the mixture, all known devices, such as gear pumps, wing pumps or piston pumps, are basically suitable,
In this case, of course, corresponding reductions in size and weight are being pursued. Basically, one of the integrated components of the vehicle, for example one of the mixing chambers as the chamber of the piston stroke pump
One embodiment is possible. As conveying means, screws which convey the mixture along its axis by rotation about its longitudinal axis are particularly advantageous.

[0019] Advantageously, the transporting means and / or the stirring element are operated by electric energy.
In this case, it is particularly useful to have the operation of the transporting means and the stirring member performed by the same member, for example an electric motor. Control of the motor speed and / or control of the outlet cross section of at least one variable discharge nozzle and / or delivery of the equipment and one or more active substances into the mixing chamber by means of such means In particular, a particularly precise dosing of the individual substances is also possible.

As the stirring member, a known means, for example, a screw or a paddle can be used. In order to avoid the problem of leakage, it is also possible to operate the stirrer, which is correspondingly arranged in the mixing zone, only by magnetic coupling with a rotating magnetic field. It is particularly advantageous if the electrical energy required for this is taken from accumulators, batteries or solar cells. This kind of energy supply independent of the power supply system is particularly important when the container with the body care agent has to be used outdoors. This is mostly the case in the case of, for example, sunscreens. Furthermore, in the case of a sunscreen, the sunscreen itself is
It is required only in the case of strong sunlight and is only used, so the use of solar cells is indicated. Of course, any further electrical devices further present in the device depending on the circumstances can also be provided in this way.

Furthermore, the container can be simplified by providing one or possibly a plurality of correspondingly arranged stirring transporters which simultaneously fulfill the function as transporting means and / or stirring element. Can be. Furthermore, it is also possible that the respective directions of movement (rotation) of the stirring and conveying devices arranged in sequence are different. Such a stirring and conveying device can be realized by, for example, a suitable screw conveyor that performs mixing at the same time as conveying. In this case, the starting point of the screw conveyor penetrates into the mixing zone (from a tube closely adjacent to the helix of the screw), where it inter alia mixes under reflux of the mixed components. Targeted transport starts only when the mixture reaches the next intermediate section of the screw conveyor.

The agitating and conveying device also has the form of a turbine, since the mixing and the conveying are carried out simultaneously by the use of its turbine blades. In this case it is particularly advantageous if the angle of use of the blades can be varied for the main functions of mixing and transport, but this means that at low angles of use (up to 0 °)
The mixing takes place exclusively or predominantly, whereas at steep use angles, in particular, they are transported. In this way, the mixing period can have a very good effect and can be adapted to the individual components.

In addition, the mixing zone may have an inlet for air or a cleaning agent. The inflow of air is often important to ensure complete evacuation of the mixing area. That is, when the supply of the components to be mixed is stopped, a reduced pressure or a vacuum may be generated in the mixing area by continuing the pump discharge of the mixed product. The discharge of the mixing zone will therefore no longer proceed anymore, ie, there will be an undesired residue of the mixture there. However, this can be prevented if air can be introduced later through the inlet. In this way, the volume discharged from the pump is replaced by air, so that the pump can be completely discharged from the mixing area.

[0024] Similarly, the inlet can also be used for filling with a cleaning agent if the container has to be cleaned. Finally, in exceptional cases, it is also possible to supply another active substance to the mixing process via this inlet.

In another embodiment of the invention, the mixing zone and the supply line and the corresponding valve may be temperature-treatable (cooling or heating), which can be used for multiple mixing zones. This applies to all mixing zones / feed tubes in the case of a cascading arrangement of devices having). The increase in temperature can affect, for example, the viscosity of the mixing components, and the mixture to be removed is pre-heated to make it more comfortable for the user. Furthermore, the production of the base lotion requires a temperature treatment, which promotes or at first fulfills the desired chemical-physical reaction of the separately supplied medium.

The base region and the active substance region may have a display device for the state of filling. Advantageously, the indicator is associated with a filling condition monitoring which automatically shuts off the mixing and transporting steps after the complete discharge of an area. This eliminates the useless and potentially harmful operation of the device.

The body care agent produced at the final active substance concentration in the mixing zone is withdrawn from the mixing zone via an outlet which can advantageously be closed. In this case, it is particularly advantageous for the discharge to take place in small portions. This allows for more accurate dosing of the body care agent during use.

Furthermore, it is important within the scope of the present invention to schedule special controls for the supply from the storage container, the interaction of the stirring element and the conveying element. Therefore, in particular, the supply of the mixed components must be interrupted and the corresponding valve must be closed, while the stirring process is continued on the other hand. Furthermore, in order to ensure complete evacuation of the mixing zone, the conveying member must be operated at least as long as the agitating member (preferably for a further period of time).

Furthermore, continuous production of mixed products is possible with the device according to the invention. For this reason, the mixing is advanced using the START function until it is terminated using the STOP function. In the simplest case, START and STOP only represent the connection / disconnection of all active mixing means and transport switches. Advantageously, special start-up and end-up steps, for example, the above-mentioned follow-up operation of the conveying device are thus carried out.

In another embodiment of the invention, the base area and / or the active substance area are detachably connected to the container. This can be achieved, for example, by means of standardized threads, bayonet verschluesses, clamping devices and the like. The advantage here is, on the one hand, that the entire container can be disassembled and thus more easily cleaned. Easy-to-maintain degradability of the device can also include, inter alia, a mixing zone with a stirring element and an outlet with a corresponding conveying means and nozzle. This facilitates repeated use of the device. In particular, however, it is also possible for the detachably connected area to be a storage container which can be obtained from the store or, if necessary, refilled in a multi-system (Mehrweg system). In this case, if the detachably connected area is designed as a replaceable patrone (corresponding to an injection) and / or a refillable patrone having a piston for discharging the patrone contents, It is particularly advantageous. The transfer of the base substance or active substance concentrate into the mixing zone is thus facilitated. Another way of drinking in this regard is to design the corresponding area as a flexible container, which squeezes the contents out of the container and squeezes it out and transfers it into the mixing area.

One independent embodiment of the present invention relates to a special container for the manufacture of tailored sunscreens. The container has a mixing unit for the production of a mixture consisting of at least one basic substance and at least one active substance. Suitable for the mixing unit are, for example, various embodiments which are evident from the prior art. Thus, in particular, containers with mixing units as described above within the scope of the invention are suitable.

The container for the sunscreen is characterized by having, by means of the mixing unit, a calculation unit for the measurement of the actual sunscreen factor which controls the composition to the demand of the sunscreen. This achieves automatic conversion of the sunscreen factor calculated based on the measurements and / or inputs into the composition of the sunscreen. The user no longer has to worry about the correct implementation of the mixing and the observance of the composition, which, on the one hand, makes the device easier for the user to use, or on the other hand, the safety of errors. It is extremely useful.

In the following, containers according to the invention for the production of tailored sunscreens are described, generally without limitation, in relation to one of the abovementioned containers having a mixing unit.

In one particularly advantageous embodiment, the device according to the invention comprises a measuring unit and / or a receiving unit and a software and control unit connected to a computing unit with programmed or programmable storage functions. are doing.

The measuring unit is particularly suitable for filling with a sunscreen,
An ultraviolet-sensitive meter for measuring the V-ray is used.

However, a more accurate value is obtained by a world-known UV index as long as the value for the location can be applied to the place of use of the device. There is a method of manually inputting the above values as a structure of a questionnaire.

Another advantageous embodiment consists in that the device according to the invention is provided with a receiving unit which can directly record signals relating to the respective weather data. According to the invention, not only modern digital systems are relevant for this device. Similarly, conventional analog processing equipment can be used.

The corresponding UV index or a corresponding value is transmitted by a local radio station that uses a radio frequency that can be received by the device according to the invention, for example a pulse signal of an atomic clock. be able to.

In another variant of the device, the container may be provided with a barometer. Similarly, it may have another measuring device capable of grasping other environmental data and weather data, for example, an (external) thermometer and / or a hygrometer.

In addition to environmental data, user data may be measured to optimally adjust the composition of the body care agent to the user. For example, in the case of the manufacture of day creams and / or night creams or anti-wrinkle creams (lotions, emulsions, etc.), the amount of sebum (by a sebaceometer), the skin moisture (by a keratometer) and / or (
It is a measurement of the pH value of the skin (by a skin pH meter). The production of sunscreens advantageously involves the measurement of the melamine content in the skin.

In particular, the device according to the invention may already be equipped with a programmed and menu-controlled interrogation function. Thus, data necessary for a calculation operation to be performed can be input. For this purpose, for example, a sheet keyboard (Folien
tastatur) is suitable. Furthermore, the multiple coverage of the keyboard used is important, for reasons defined by the notation and / or the corresponding assignment of the installed software.

On the other hand, user-related data such as name, age, skin type corresponding to dermatological classification, well-known skin incompatibility, allergies and prior sunburn degree are input. On the other hand, data on the location, such as date, time, received or manually entered UV index and / or if they are not available, the corresponding auxiliary values,
For example, a value of a meter, a place (or longitude and latitude), an altitude, a value of a barometer, and the like are input.

Further, for example, the respective concentrations of the base and active substance used from the corresponding area, the start, duration, expected end of the sunbathing and in particular the time relating to the activities in between (eg bathing, sports, etc.) Is required.

It is self-evident that most of these data are constant and correspondingly recognized and stored by programs or computers. For each use, only the necessary changes are identified or recognized and / or received.

Furthermore, the device according to the invention may also include an interface (wired or wireless, for example infrared), whereby externally captured and measured values / data and program execution are transferred. The basic programming required for this can be carried out, for example, directly at the time of purchase, for example, with a pharmacist.

Based on the data at hand, the calculation unit calculates the optimal light protection factor (LSF or SPF = Sun Protecting Factor) to use. Furthermore, it is possible to directly input individual LSFs at the same time.

In order to be able to produce the desired discharge medium, at least the concentration of the base region and one or more active substance regions as well as the mixed prescription (Mischfor
mel) or the mixing ratio must be known. Based on this, the required dosing or composition of the active substance and the base substance is determined using the entrusted prescription.

The control unit has taken over the production of the consumption medium. In addition, this control unit is responsible for the central control and the time coordination of the implementation of the dosing, filling, mixing and discharging of the mixing area and the switching on and off of the switches of the corresponding stirring means and / or transport means.

If the body care agent has to be used outdoors, as is the case, for example, with sunscreens, the outer dimensions of the container according to the invention must be reduced, so that the bag can be used without difficulty. Or in your baggage. The outer dimensions in this case should typically not exceed 20 × 20 × 10 cm.

The containers according to the invention are preferably filled with a skin-compatible base substance, which is present as an oil, emulsion, cream, jelly, emulsion, gel, aqueous alcoholic solution, aqueous solution, ointment or lotion. In this case, as in the general case, it is also possible that the base substance already contains one or more active substances of a certain minimum standard.
In the above case, the additional dosing and mixing with the other active substances is only necessary if necessary, i.e.
Required if higher active substance concentrations are required.

A container of the abovementioned type may be filled in particular with one active substance, in which case the tanning agents are preferably benzophenone derivatives, hydroxy-naphthoquinone, phenylbenzoxazole and phenyl Benzimidazole, digalloyl trioleate, aminobenzoate, salicylate, alicyclic dienone, cinnamate, benzalazine, aromatic urea derivative, sulfonamide,
Coumarin derivatives, phenylglycoxylic acid derivatives and mink oil, avocado oil,
Mandel oil, sesame oil, peanut oil, olive oil, safflower oil or coconut oil are used.

Examples of chemicals that can be used as sunscreen filters include, for example, 3-
(4'-trimethylammonium) benzylidene-bornan-2-one-methyl sulfate, 3,3,5-trimethyl-cyclohexyl-salicylate, 2-
Hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzophenone, 2-phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulfonic acid and salts thereof, 3,3 '-(1,4-phenylenedimethine)
-Bis (7,7-dimethyl-2-oxo-bicyclo- [2.2.1] heptane-
1-methanesulfonic acid) and salts thereof, 1- (4-tert-butylphenyl) propane-1,3-dione, 3- (4'-sulfo) benzylidene-bornan-2-one, 4-bis (polyethoxy) ) Aminobenzoic acid-polyethoxyethyl ester,
4-dimethylaminobenzoic acid-2-ethylhexyl ester, salicylic acid-2-
Ethylhexyl ester, 4-methoxycinnamic acid-isoamyl ester, 4-methoxycinnamic acid-2-ethylhexyl ester, 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone-5-sulfonic acid and their sodium salts, 3- (4'-methyl)
Benzylidene-bornan-2-one, 3-benzylidenebornan-2-one, 4
-Isopropylbenzyl salicylate, 2,4,6-trianiline-p- (carbo-2'ethyl-hexyl-1'-oxy) -1,3,5-triazine, 3-imidazol-4-yl-acrylic acid And their ethyl esters, N- [2- (and 4) -2-oxoborn-3-ylidene-methyl) benzyl] acrylamide-polymer. For example, body sunscreens in the form of micropigments based on titanium dioxide or zinc oxide are also advantageous.

The base and active ingredient areas may also contain sunscreens and other ingredients normally present in cosmetics. This includes, for example, emulsifiers, solvents, preservatives, dyes, oil components, antioxidants and radical scavengers, complexing agents, aromatic substances and the like.

Of course, in this case as well, it is also possible, as in the general case, for the various active ingredients to be stored, possibly in the various active substance areas, and to be added and mixed at individual rates.

In particular, it is also conceivable within the scope of the present invention to use commercially available sunscreen containers as base and active substance areas. This only requires that the threaded cap of such a sunscreen container be removed and that the container be screwed into the corresponding receptacle in the container according to the invention. In this case, it is possible to use a sunscreen having a low sunscreen factor and a very high sunscreen factor in the container according to the invention, respectively, so that by mixing these, any intermediate between the sunscreen factors is obtained. Value can be adjusted.

The containers according to the invention are advantageously used for the storage of sunscreens whose shielding factor can be adjusted to the demand by mixing.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be illustratively described with reference to the drawings.

The container 1 according to the invention mainly comprises an active substance area 2, a base area 3 and a mixing area 4.
Consists of The active substance area 2 and the base area 3 are separated from one another and are each connected to the mixing area 4. In the case of the system according to the drawings, the two aforementioned areas are formed as patrones. For example, it is clear that the patrone for the base 3 has a piston 8 for squeezing out the patrone contents. A piston of this kind is not necessary in the case of the active substance area 2, since it is basically also possible to actively pump out the contents of the patrone.

In the case of a connection between the storage patrones 2 and 3 and the active substance area 4, there is advantageously a valve 10, which prevents a backflow of the substance from the active substance area 4 into one of the patrones. I have. For simplicity of dosing, storage patrone 2 and 3, respectively,
Further, it may have a scale that can read, for example, how many milliliters of the contents are being extruded.

In the mixing region 4, the amounts of the base and the active substance concentrate introduced therein are mixed into a uniform substance. This is the motor 7 in the case of the device according to the drawing.
This is performed using a stirrer 6 driven by a stirrer. In this case, the electrical energy of the system is advantageously derived from solar cells, which can be mounted outside the container 1.

The finish-mixed sunscreen can be removed from the mixing area 4 via the outlet 5. For this, it is conveyed by the screw 12 from the mixing area 4 towards the outlet. In the case of the example described, the screw 12 is likewise driven by the motor 7. It is therefore also possible to connect the stirrer 6 and the screw 12 at various times, in particular in the order "stirrer → stirrer and screw → screw".

In order to be able to completely empty the mixing area 4 after closing the valve 10, the liquid volume pumped out of this must be recompensated. This can take place, for example, by means of the inlet 11 of the mixing zone 4, in which case the valve is such that nothing can reach outside through said inlet.

In addition, the container is fitted with a meter 9 which must measure the main UV light and adjust the light-blocking factor accordingly or select the mixing ratio between the basic substance and the active substance. Is also conceivable. According to the invention, the meter can be controlled by a program. This program includes the use of basic factors as well as mixtures for the determination of sunscreen factors. Information that can use the program includes, in detail: 1. Types of sunscreens The data for the height of the sunscreen factor are the following data: a) the sensitivity of your own sunlight b) the degree of prior sunburn c) the type of skin d) the intensity or intensity of the sun rays e) the location, altitude and season , Daytime f) ozone content g) air cleanliness h) period of use 3. Time of use (15-20 minutes before leaving the sun) 4. Frequency of use (every 1 to 4 hours) Sweating 6. Contact with water (rinse in the bath)
