Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an annular member for a container.
  • the present invention also relates to a cosmetic package including said container, and a producing method of the annular member.
  • Foundation liquid is widely used in the field of a cosmetic.
  • a sponge is used for absorbing and storing the liquid foundation.
  • the sponge is steeped with the liquid foundation, and is placed in a cup located within a base of the container. The user then gently touches and taps the sponge by an applicator to collect the liquid foundation, and then applies the liquid foundation onto the skin.
  • the cup is provided with an annular stop ring, which prevents the sponge from falling out of the cup when the container is opened.
  • the annular member is for example a ring formed by bi-injection molding.
  • the bi-injection molding is also referred to as two-color injection molding or double injection molding.
  • the bi-injection molded ring according to the present invention simultaneously has two functions: the ring is used as an annular stop ring (for example made of PP) to prevent the sponge from falling out of the cup; and the ring is also used as an annular seal ring (for example made of TPE) to form a seal between the cover and the cup and thereby to prevent the liquid foundation from drying.

  • the seal ring may have a first side and a second side, which are opposite from one another, and are intended to be abutted against by a cover and a cup of the container, respectively, such that the seal ring provides an airtight sealing between the cover and the cup.
  • the hardness of the stop ring may be higher than that of the seal ring.
  • the stop ring may be for example made from polypropylene (PP), and the seal ring may be for example made from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).
  • PP polypropylene

  • the stopper of the stop ring of the annular member may extend inwardly beyond the opening of the cup, in order to prevent the absorber from falling out of the cup.
  • the absorber may be made from sponge or fabric.
  • the absorber may be used for absorbing and storing foundation liquid.
  • a cosmetic package including a shell assembly, an applicator and the container described above.
  • the container is placed in the shell assembly, and the applicator is placed on the cover of the container.

  • a wall away from the center of the annular member 4 is the outer wall.
  • the annular member 4 can be manufactured by the following method, the method including:
  • the seal ring 120 and the stop ring 110 are integrally formed by injection molding or bi-injection molding, however, it should be understood that the seal ring 120 and the stop ring 110 may also be combined together by assembling.
