Abstract

Bottle for containing and preserving varnishable products, comprising a container body (2) in which the product is kept, which ends with a collar (3) having a mouth (4) through which the product can be taken. The bottle has a brush (5) inserted in the mouth of the container, the upper part of which is a stem (51) and the lower part of which is formed by bristles (52) immersed in the product when the brush is inserted in the mouth. In an intermediate region, the stem has an annular projection (53) which abuts on the edge of the collar. Said projection is so positioned as to allow the bristles to reach the bottom of the container.

Description

TITLE: BOTTLE FOR CONTAINING VARNISHABLE PRODUCTS
The present invention relates to a bottle for containing products that can be distributed by varnishing. In particular, the present invention relates to a bottle for containing varnish, e.g. nail varnish.
Bottles of this kind normally consist of a container body ending with a collar having a mouth through which the varnish can be taken. The varnish taking operation is carried out by inserting an elongated brush into said mouth. The bottle cap is normally associated with the brush, so that the brush, when the cap is closed, stays inside the container. The cap is normally applied to the container through an external thread on the collar and an internal thread in the cap itself. Other possible means of constraint between the cap and the container body include snap-on caps, pressure caps, etc.
One of the most common problems suffered by this type of bottles is the difficulty in taking the last remnant of product (i.e. varnish) from the bottle. In this case, in fact, the brush has to be inserted almost all the way down to the base of the container. Actually, in such a situation it is difficult to reach the residual product because the thread does not allow the brush to get to the bottom, and one should screw on the cap with the brush and then unscrew it again.
The present invention overcomes the above-mentioned drawbacks by providing a bottle which offers more comfort of use in comparison with the above-mentioned known types. One aspect of the present invention relates to a bottle for varnishable products having the features set out in the appended claim 1. Further auxiliary features are set out in the appended dependent claims.
The features and advantages of said bottle will become more apparent from the following description of one embodiment thereof referring to the annexed drawings, which specifically illustrate the following:
• Figure 1 shows a schematic exploded longitudinal view of the bottle according to the invention;
• Figure 2 shows a schematic longitudinal view of the bottle according to the invention in the assembled condition;
• Figure 3 shows a schematic exploded side section of the bottle according to the invention;
• Figure 4 shows a side section of the bottle according to the invention in the assembled condition.
With reference to the above Figures, the bottle for containing and preserving varnishable products according to the present invention essentially comprises a container body 2 where the product is kept, which ends with a collar 3 having a mouth 4 through which the product can be taken. In the illustrated embodiment, the body has a substantially tapered or partially cylindrical shape with an oval or round cross-section. The present invention is likewise applicable to containers having different shapes and cross- sections, e.g. quadrangular, rectangular, rhomboidal, hexagonal, octagonal, etc.
The product contained in the container is a varnishable product, e.g. varnish or gel.
In the mouth of the container an elongated brush 5 is inserted, the upper part of which is a stem 51 and the lower part of which is formed by bristles 52 immersed in the product when the brush is inserted in the mouth. In an intermediate region, the stem has an annular projection 53 which abuts on the edge of the collar. The position of said projection is such as to allow the bristles to reach the bottom of the container, so that the product can be taken without any difficulty even when only a last remnant thereof is left in the container.
External to the brush, there is an annular sleeve 6 to be fitted over the brush itself and coupled to collar 3, thus acting as a bottle cap. In particular, said sleeve has an inner thread 61 adapted to be coupled to a matching external thread 31 on collar 3.
Said annular sleeve advantageously continues the silhouette of the container, so that the container and the sleeve form a homogeneous body.
On the top edge of said sleeve there is a ring 62, which, when the sleeve is screwed to collar 3, presses against the top surface of the annular projection 53, thereby ensuring that the bottle is hermetically sealed.
The varnish taking operation is carried out by inserting the elongated brush into said mouth after having removed the annular sleeve. In this manner, when only a small quantity of product is left in the bottle, the brush can reach down to the base of the container and take the remnant of product .

Claims

1. Bottle for containing and preserving varnishable products, essentially comprising a container body (2) in which the product is kept, which ends with a collar (3) having a mouth (4) through which the product can be taken, a brush (5) inserted in the mouth of the container, the upper part of which is a stem (51) and the lower part of which is formed by bristles (52) immersed in the product when the brush is inserted in the mouth,
characterized in that
in an intermediate region, the stem has an annular projection (53) that abuts on the edge of the collar, said projection being so positioned as to allow the bristles to reach the bottom of the container,
and that an annular sleeve (6) can be fitted over said brush and coupled to the collar (3), thus acting as a bottle cap.
2. Bottle according to claim 1, wherein said sleeve has an inner thread (61) to be coupled to a matching external thread (31) on the collar (3) .
3. Bottle according to claim 1, wherein the container has a substantially tapered or partially cylindrical shape with an oval or round cross-section.
4. Bottle according to claim 3, wherein the container has a quadrangular or rectangular or rhomboidal or hexagonal or octagonal cross-section.
5. Bottle according to claim 3, wherein said annular sleeve continues the silhouette of the container, so that the container and the sleeve form a homogeneous body.
6. Bottle according to claim 1, wherein on the top edge of said sleeve there is a ring (62), which, when the sleeve is constrained to the collar (3), presses against the top surface of the annular projection (53), thereby ensuring that the bottle is hermetically sealed.
