Definitions
- the present invention relates to lip balms and, more particularly, a lip balm having a spherical surface and manufactured using a hot pour process.
- Skin on and around the lips can often become chapped or otherwise damaged due to overexposure from elements such as sun and/or wind, particularly during athletic activities in which a person's face remains exposed to these elements for extended periods of time.
- the same skin can also become chapped or damaged while carrying out everyday non-athletic activities. For example, working outside in extreme cold, dry heat, or sun can also cause damage to the skin on the lips. Even working indoors or sleeping in dry conditions can cause the lips to chap, thereby leading to the development of cracks, which are often painful and can become infected.
- Lip balms are often applied to prevent chapped lips. When applied prior to exposure to sun, wind, dry heat, or other extreme conditions, the lip balm can provide suitable protection to the skin on and around the lips. Even when applied after the skin on the lips is chapped, the lip balm can prevent any further damage from occurring. In either case, by providing a protective layer of lip balm, the risk of an infection developing in the damaged skin is minimized.
- Lip balms are currently sold as emulsions, liquids, gels, or solids.
- the lip balms are generally packed in containers such as jars. Gels (and liquids on occasion) are typically dispensed from squeeze tubes.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to lip balms and, more particularly, a lip balm having a spherical surface and manufactured using a hot pour process.
- Skin on and around the lips can often become chapped or otherwise damaged due to overexposure from elements such as sun and/or wind, particularly during athletic activities in which a person's face remains exposed to these elements for extended periods of time. The same skin can also become chapped or damaged while carrying out everyday non-athletic activities. For example, working outside in extreme cold, dry heat, or sun can also cause damage to the skin on the lips. Even working indoors or sleeping in dry conditions can cause the lips to chap, thereby leading to the development of cracks, which are often painful and can become infected.
- Lip balms are often applied to prevent chapped lips. When applied prior to exposure to sun, wind, dry heat, or other extreme conditions, the lip balm can provide suitable protection to the skin on and around the lips. Even when applied after the skin on the lips is chapped, the lip balm can prevent any further damage from occurring. In either case, by providing a protective layer of lip balm, the risk of an infection developing in the damaged skin is minimized.
- Lip balms are currently sold as emulsions, liquids, gels, or solids. In emulsion or liquid form, the lip balms are generally packed in containers such as jars. Gels (and liquids on occasion) are typically dispensed from squeeze tubes. Solid lip balms are generally packaged in stick form and dispensable from tubes or from lipstick-type applicators.
- Solid lip balms are commonly manufactured using either a hot pour process or a bullet process. In the hot pour process, the lip balm ingredients are combined and heated in a liquefied phase. The liquid is then directly poured into the final consumer package, where it is cooled and solidifies. In the bullet process, the lip balm ingredients are also combined and heated in a liquefied phase. However, in the bullet process, the liquefied balm is poured into molds where it is cooled and solidified. The balm may then be cut into the desired shape and inserted into the consumer package.
- The choice of the method used for a particular product depends on the design/functionality of the package, the additives in the balm, and the desired characteristics of the lip balm (color, feel, shape, and the like).
- In one aspect, the present invention resides in a lip balm applicator product that is substantially spherical in shape. The applicator product comprises upper and lower portions that are connectable together to define the substantially spherical shape of the applicator product. A support platform is located in the lower portion and accommodates a quantity of lip balm having an arcuate surface that can be exposed upon separation of the upper portion from the lower portion.
- In another aspect, the present invention resides in a lip balm product comprising a composition of waxes and oils in solid form and formed to have an arcuate surface. The wax and oil composition can be eroded upon being drawn across a surface such as a user's lips. The composition is formed to have the arcuate surface using a hot pour process.
- In another aspect, the present invention resides in a method of manufacturing a lip balm. In such a method, a receptacle having a concave arcuate surface is provided. A lip balm material in a heated, liquefied phase is also provided and poured into the receptacle. Once poured, the heated, liquefied phase is allowed to solidify such that a surface of the solidified lip balm material has an arcuate configuration that corresponds to the concave arcuate surface of the receptacle.

FIG. 2 is a perspective exploded view of the lip balm applicator ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 3 is a schematic view of a portion of a receptacle of the lip balm applicator ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 4 is a schematic representation of a hot pour process of manufacturing a lip balm having an arcuate surface. - As is shown in
FIG. 1 , a lip balm applicator product having a lip balm composition is designated generally by thereference number 10 and is hereinafter referred to as “applicator 10.”Applicator 10 comprises areceptacle 12 having the lip balm composition located therein. Thereceptacle 12 is substantially spherical in shape. The present invention is not limited in this regard, as thereceptacle 12 may be substantially cylindrical with rounded surfaces, egg-shaped, ovate, or the like. Thereceptacle 12 comprises anupper portion 14 and alower portion 16, the portions being separable from each other along a line L that extends substantially circumferentially about the receptacle perpendicular to a major axis M extending longitudinally through the receptacle. Aninterior surface 19 of theupper portion 14 of thereceptacle 12 is defined by a concave surface having a spherical or arcuate topography. Although various surfaces described herein are referred to as being spherical, it should be understood that the term “spherical” includes arcuate surfaces. - The
upper portion 14 and thelower portion 16 are connectable together via any suitable means such as the interengagement of threads. The present invention is not limited in this regard, as other mechanisms may be used to connect theupper portion 14 and thelower portion 16 together (e.g., engaging surfaces that fit together frictionally). The lip balm composition is located in thelower portion 16 and is hereinafter referred to as “lip balm 20.” - The outer surface of the
receptacle 12 includes adepression 18 formed partly on theupper portion 14 and partly on thelower portion 16. Thedepression 18 is a divot formed in thereceptacle 12 that accommodates the thumb of a user to facilitate the opening and closing of the receptacle by alternatingly separating and connecting theupper portion 14 and thelower portion 16. - Upon separation of the
upper portion 14 from thelower portion 16, thelip balm 20 is revealed. Thelip balm 20 is mounted in thelower portion 16 on a support platform and is defined by a quantity of suitable lip balm material formed or otherwise configured to have a spherical shape that includes aspherical surface 22. The spherical shape andspherical surface 22 allows the lip balm material to extend above the upper edge of thelower portion 16, thereby facilitating the uninhibited application of the lip balm to a user's lips. The present invention is not limited to thelip balm 20 being configured to have a spherical shape andspherical surface 22, however, as other configurations are within the scope of the present invention. - Referring now to
FIG. 2 , the support platform on which thelip balm 20 is mounted is designated generally by thereference number 30. Thesupport platform 30 is a wheel having anouter rim 32 andthreads 17 located thereon. A plurality ofprongs 50 is located along a lower edge of the outer rim 32 (the edge opposite the threads 17) to facilitate the connection of thesupport platform 30 to connecting structure such asridges 38 in thelower portion 16. In the assembly of thereceptacle 10, theprongs 50 allow thesupport platform 30 to be snapplingly received onlower portion 16. - The
support platform 30 includes a plurality ofspokes 34 that extend from theouter rim 32 and that terminate at ahub 36. Both the widths of thespokes 34 and the diameter of thehub 36 are selected to provide a suitable area on which thelip balm 20 can be supported. Thespokes 34 extend from thehub 36 at equal angles and connect with an inner surface of theouter rim 32. The present invention is not limited to the use of spokes and hubs, as the area bounded by theouter rim 32 can be solid. Although theouter rim 32 is described as being substantially circular, a portion along the edge of the outer rim is flattened to allow for the accommodation of thedepression 18. - Referring now to
FIG. 3 , both theupper portion 14 and thelower portion 16 of thereceptacle 12 comprise a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) injection molded over a plastic form comprising acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) copolymer. Accordingly, the defining surfaces of both theupper portion 14 and thelower portion 16 comprise abottom layer 26 of ABS copolymer covered by atop layer 28 of TPE. The present invention is not limited to thebottom layer 26 being ABS copolymer, however, as the bottom layer in one or both of theupper portion 14 and thelower portion 16 can be polyethylene (PE). In such an alternate configuration, the tactile sensation to the user is slightly different upon handling thereceptacle 12. In any configuration, the material of thetop layer 28 provides a desirable tactile sensation to the user of theapplicator 10, namely, by providing a soft surface that can be easily gripped, thereby facilitating the easy opening and closing of thereceptacle 12. - The
lip balm 20 comprises a quantity of suitable lip balm material. One exemplary lip balm material is a composition that is at least in part a blend of beeswax, coconut oil, olive oil, and jojoba oil that can be eroded when drawn over a surface (e.g., lips). The present invention is not limited to the lip balm material being a blend of such wax and oils, however, as other materials (e.g., petrolatum and petrolatum-based compounds) are within the scope of this disclosure. The blend of beeswax, coconut oil, olive oil, and jojoba oil can also include various ingredients including, but not limited to, emollients, ultraviolet protective agents, moisturizers, vitamins, aloe vera, colorants, fragrances, and the like. Drawing the material over a surface such as the lips causes the material to transfer to the surface as a film. - The spherical
outer surface 22 of thelip balm 20 defines a mound-shaped quantity of the lip balm material. The spherical or mound shape provides desirable tactile sensations and use benefits as compared to stick (tubular) forms of the lip balm material. Desirable tactile sensations result from the spherical shape having a larger exposed surface area (as compared to the stick forms of the lip balm material) and the tactile sensation of a curved surface against the lips. Use benefits include the ability to apply the lip balm material to both lips simultaneously. - Referring now to
FIG. 4 , thelip balm 20 is manufactured from the lip balm material using a hot pour process. In using the hot pour process, the lip balm ingredients are combined and heated in a liquefied phase and poured into the final consumer packaging, which in this case is thereceptacle 12. In preparation for the hot pour process, thesupport platform 30 is assembled with theupper portion 14 and inverted such that the support platform is level and vertical with regard to the upper portion. Orienting the assembledupper portion 14 andsupport platform 30 in this manner allows for the heated and liquefied phase to be poured into the upper portion and retained therein. Theinterior surface 19 of theupper portion 14 may be coated with a release agent prior to pouring the heated and liquefied phase, which thereby allows for efficient and clean removal of the upper portion by the user when using the finished product. - After the heated and liquefied phase is poured into the
upper portion 14 and filled to a level F to cover at least a portion of thespokes 34, the liquefied phase is cooled or allowed to cool. Thespokes 34 provide surfaces onto which the solidified lip balm material can adhere. The present invention is not limited to the solidification of the lip balm material around spokes, however, as the support platform can include any suitable configuration of surfaces around which the lip balm material can solidify. Upon sufficient solidification of the lip balm material, thelower portion 16 is inserted onto the assembled and filledupper portion 14 andsupport platform 30. - The use of the hot pour method in manufacturing the
lip balm 20 defined by thespherical surface 22 provides cost benefits over similar methods that use the bullet method. In particular, using the hot pour method obviates the need for an intermediate step in which hot liquid is poured into separate molds, thereby also eliminating the need for additional equipment (molds). Furthermore, the additional steps of removing solidified product from molds and processing and handling the solidified product are avoided. - Although this invention has been shown and described with respect to the detailed embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of skill in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the invention. In addition, modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the invention without departing from the essential scope thereof. Therefore, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the particular embodiments disclosed in the above detailed description, but that the invention will include all embodiments falling within the scope of this disclosure.
