Patent ID: 7789581

Claim:
An applicator device for applying a cosmetic material in the form of a lead, comprising a holding part having an axial length, an interior, and an exit opening ( 10 ), the interior is adapted to receive a lead material (KM), a rotary part ( 20 ) into which the holding part ( 10 ) is fitted and which is axially fixedly but rotatably connected to the holding part ( 10 ) at a coupling portion ( 16 ) thereof by way of a counterpart coupling portion ( 26 ) provided on the rotary part ( 20 ), a rotary mechanism ( 40 ) for axial displacement of the lead material (KM), arranged in the rotary part, and a protector member ( 30 ) for covering the exit opening ( 14 ), wherein the protector member ( 30 ) has a fitting opening ( 34 ) at one end ( 30 b ) and is closed at its other end ( 30 a ) and wherein the protector member ( 30 ) can be reversibly fitted on to the rotary part ( 20 ), wherein the axially fixed, rotatable connection between the coupling portion ( 16 ) of the holding part ( 10 ) and the counterpart coupling portion ( 26 ) of the rotary part ( 20 ) is formed in a region which extends from the exit opening ( 14 ) of the holding part ( 10 ) a maximum of ⅓ of the axial length of the holding part ( 10 ) on the holding part ( 10 ), wherein the rotary part ( 20 ) has an axial length and the axial length of the holding part ( 10 ) is shorter than the axial length of the rotary part ( 20 ).
