Definitions

  • Tne present invention relates to stick holder devices of the type adapted to hold a stick of solid consumable material, such as cosmetics or other toiletry materials.
  • the invention is particularly, but not exclusively concerned with lipstick holders
  • Such stick holders commonly comprise a base member which carries the stick and a tubular cap which fits onto the base member to cover the stick when it is not being used.
  • a base member which carries the stick
  • a tubular cap which fits onto the base member to cover the stick when it is not being used.
  • the base member As a tube and to arrange for the cosmetics stick to be withdrawn into the base tube before replacement of the cap.
  • the stick is seated in a cup which is axially movable within the base tube.
  • the twist-advance mechanism in the known construction is relatively complicated and requires a large number of cooperating parts.
  • the component parts must be made to a relatively high tolerance so that they fit together precisely.
  • a relatively complicated procedure is required for assembling the numerous components of the device. This generally results in high manufacturing costs which necessarily are passed on as a high purchase price to the consumer.
  • the present invention seeks to alleviate, at least partially, the outstanding disadvantages of the known arrangements
  • a holder assembly for a stick of consumable material e.g. a cosmetic
  • the assembly comprising a handle member including a portion for holding an end portion of a said stick, and a cover member movably connected to said handle member in such a way that it can be manually engaged and manipulated so as to be moved relative to said handle member axially of the stick for selectively concealing and exposing said stick.
  • the cosmetics stick is held firmly and immovably in the handle portion, and the cover member, which is preferably a sleeve, is itself manipulated, there being no separate twist advance mechanism to complicate the structure.
  • the interconnecting parts can be made non-circular in cross-section, thereby greatly increasing the design possibilities.
  • the interconnection of the cover and handle members may alternatively be such as to provide a twist-and-pull action whereby the cover will be simultaneously twisted and pulled to advance it to the stick-concealing position. This may prove more acceptable to the consumer, now long accustomed to using a twisting action in the above-described conventional twist-advance lipstick devices.
  • a holder assembly for a cosmetics stick comprising a handle member including an outer tube and fixed therein a portion for holding an end portion of a cosmetics stick element, and a sleeve connected to said handle member so as to be movable relative to said handle member axially of the cosmetics stick for the selective exposure and concealment of said stick, wherein said tube and said sleeve are of corresponding non-circular cross-section.
  • the handle portion preferably comprises an outer tube and a stem or column extending centrally and coaxially within the tube, one end of the stem being adapted, or carrying a cup which is adapted, to receive and firmly hold an end of the cosmetics stick.
  • this stem is fixed at its other end to an end base wall of the outer tube.
  • the displaceable sleeve may be fitted within the outer tube of the handle so as to be axially movable from a first retracted position in which it lies substantially wholly within the outer tube of the handle, but with an end portion projecting therefrom so as to be manually engageable, and in which. the cosmetics stick -i-s fully or substantially fully exposed, and an extended position in which it projects substantially from the open end of the outer tube to conceal and protect the cosmetics stick.
  • a cap which fits onto the end of the outer tube and which is of sufficient length to accommodate the cosmetics stick when concealed by the sleeve in its extended position.
  • a stick cosmetics holder assembly 1 comprises a tubular base member 2 which is closed at one end by an end wall 3. At its other end, the base tube 2 is open.
  • the end wall 3 is formed centrally with an internal cylindrical projection 4 onto which the base end of a central cylindrical stem, or column 5 is a tight push-fit.
  • the column 5 is rigidly fixed to the base cylinder 2.
  • the column 5 is formed with an enlarged cylindrical cup 6 into which the base portion 7 of a cosmetics stick element 8 can be firmly seated. Accordingly, the base tube 2 and the central column 5 fixed therein together constitute a handle for the device in which the cosmetic stick 8 is firmly held.
  • a cylindrical cap 9 push fits onto the open end of the base cylinder 2 to provide a closed cylindrical container for the cosmetics stick.
  • the cylindrical wall of the cap 9 may be formed adjacent its lower open end with an internally projecting circumferential bead 10 which abuts against a corresponding bead, or a plurality of circumferentially spaced projections 11 adjacent the upper open end of the base tube 2 to limit the degree to which the cap 9 can be pushed telescopically onto the base tube.
  • a protective sleeve 12 which is of slightly lesser diameter than that of the base tube 2 and which fits telescopically therein so as to be axially slidable relative thereto.
  • This sleeve 12 is a close fit to the handle so that it can firmly retain any axial position relative thereto.
  • the sidewall of the cup may be formed with a cut-out 6a defining an outwardly biased spring finger 6b which resiliently bears on the inner surface of the sleeve 12. The force with which this finger so bears, and the resulting resistance to movement of the sleeve can be preset as required by the pre-stressing of the finger.
  • the sleeve 12 is provided with a radially inwardly projecting annular flange 13 which limits the outward movement of the sleeve from the base tube 2, so as to inhibit mutual separation of these two components and thereby retain their interconnection.
  • Figures 2 and 4 illustrate the arrangement when the sleeve 12 is fully extended so as to conceal and protect the cosmetics stick 8. In this position, the flange 13 abuts against the lower annular surface 14 of the cup 6 so as to prevent further outward movement of the sleeve 12.
  • the sleeve 12 is moved from the retracted position of Figure 1 by holding the base tube 2 with one hand and gripping and axially pulling the exposed end portion 12a of the sleeve 12 with the other hand.
  • the sleeve 12 in its fully extended position conceals the whole length of the cosmetics stick 8 to provide full protection therefor, and the cap 9 fits onto the base tube 2 over the extended sleeve.
  • the device When not in use, the device will normally be stored with the sleeve fully extended and the cap 9 in position.
  • the cap 9 When it is desired to use the device, the cap 9 will be removed and the sleeve 12 retracted by gripping the portion 12a and axially pushing the sleeve 12 into the base ⁇ cylinder 2 either fully so as to expose the whole of the cosmetics stick, or partly so as to expose an end portion thereof of suitable length.
  • the sleeve 12 is moved by a simple push-pull action.
  • the arrangement could be modified, for example by providing a helical groove or slot in the column 5 and a spigot projecting inwardly from the inner edge of the flange 13 into the groove or slot, so as to cause sleeve 12 to be guided into a simultaneous axial and rotational movement relative to the base tube 2.
  • the sleeve 12 and inside of the base tube would necessarily be circular cylindrical whereas in the arrangement of Figures 1 to 4 these components may be made of any desired cross-sectional shape, e.g. elliptical, square, hexagonal etc. as no relative rotation of these parts is required.
  • Figures 6 and 7 illustrate two such non-circular cross-sectional configurations.
  • all of the 'interconnected components are of corresponding cross-sectional shapes, though it will be appreciated that from the design aspect it is the shape of the base tube 2, cap 9 and cover sleeve 12 which is most important.
  • the device is simple to assemble, the assembly procedure comprising the steps of inserting the sleeve 12 into the base tube 2 and then positioning the column 5 axially within the sub-assembly and pushing it firmly onto the base projection 4.
  • the cosmetic stick 8 can then be firmly pushed into the cup 6, and finally the cap 9 placed over the assembly.
  • the overall diameter of the device can be reduced, thereby making the device more compact.
  • the above described- device can be made tamper proof whilst still allowing the cosmetics stick to be viewed for colour etc.
  • This can be accomplished, for example, by providing an annular tear-off strip 15 shown in Figure 2 around the base of the sleeve 12.
  • This strip is temporarily fixed by means of an annular groove adjacent the base of the sleeve, and projects radially outwardly sufficiently to abut the upper edge of the open end of base tube 2 so as to prevent the sleeve 12 being moved from its fully extended position whilst still allowing the end of the cosmetics stick 8 to be viewed when the cap 9 is removed.
  • this strip 15 can be removed to allow the sleeve to be retracted for exposure of the stick.
  • the handle and sleeve may be made transparent without the device becoming visually unattractive.
  • Figure 5 illustrates a construction incorporating some modifications to the construction of Figures 1 to 4.
  • a sealing disc 36 which may be integrally formed with the base of the tube 2, optionally being provided to seal the lower opening of the cylindrical column.
  • the cup 6 is initially formed as a separate element and is shaped so as to snap-fit, or be otherwise assembled to the top of the column 5.
  • the column 5 need not be cylindrical; it could be of cruciform or other suitable cross-section. As in the embodiment of Figures 1 to 4, the Figure 5 arrangement can be made of non-circular cross-section, e.g. as in Figures 6 and 7.
  • the cosmetic stick element may comprise other types of solid product, e.g. compressed coloured powders such as eye-shadow and facial blusher make up compositions, or non-cosmetic product, such as lip salve, shaving soap etc.
