Abstract:
1. Cosmetics unit comprising a container for receiving a cosmetic, a closure cap for the container, and an applicator, which is disposed on the closure cap, for applying the cosmetic, wherein two such cosmetics units can be connected with each other via a coupling device, wherein the cosmetics unit ( 1 ) has a coupling device ( 9 ) formed on the closure cap ( 3 ) for connection with a second cosmetics unit ( 1 ) comprising a corresponding coupling device ( 9 ), wherein the coupling device ( 9 ) has a coupling recess ( 10 ; 10 a ) extending perpendicularly to a central longitudinal axis ( 17 ) of the cosmetics unit ( 1 ), the coupling recess having an inner wall ( 12 ) spanning, relative to an insertion direction ( 17 a ) oriented perpendicularly to the central longitudinal axis ( 17 ), a circumferential angle range of more than 180° and thus forms at least one undercut ( 12 a ; 12 b ; 12 c ), and a coupling projection ( 11 ; 11 a ) formed to be complementary to the coupling recess ( 10 ; 10 a ), such that the coupling projection ( 11 ; 11 a ) of a first cosmetics unit ( 1 ) can be pushed into the coupling recess ( 10 ; 10 a ) of the second cosmetics unit ( 1 ) by means of a pushing motion in the insertion direction ( 17 a ) of the cosmetics units ( 1 ) to be connected, and wherein the coupling projection is received in the coupling recess in a positive fit in the pushed-in state.
