DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, a new makeup applicator assembly embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.
As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the makeup applicator assembly 10 generally comprises an elongated tube 12 having an interior space 14, a bottom end 16 and a top end 18. A bottom opening 20 extends through the bottom end 16 of the tube 12. A chamber 22 is positioned in the interior space 14. The chamber 22 is positioned proximate the bottom end 16 of the tube 12. A makeup material 24 is positioned in the chamber 22, with an elongated applicator 26 also being positioned in the chamber 22. A button 28 is coupled to and extends from the top end 18 of the tube 12. A plunger 30 extends between the button 28 and the applicator 26. The plunger 30 may also extends into the chamber 22.
A dispensing aperture 32 is positioned in the chamber 22. The applicator 26 is extendable through the dispensing aperture 32. The dispensing aperture 32 is positioned proximate the bottom end 16 of the tube 12 wherein the applicator 26 is extendable from the bottom end 16 of the tube 12 when the button 28 is manipulated. A seal 34 is coupled to the chamber 22 and the seal 34 covers the dispensing aperture 32. The applicator 26 is selectively extendable through the seal 34. The seal 34 has an outer perimeter 36 coupled to an interior surface 38 of the tube 12. The seal 34 has an inner perimeter 40 defining a central orifice 42 through which the applicator 26 extends and retracts. The seal 34 has a parabolic diametric cross-sectional shape 44. A plurality of balls 46 may be positioned in the chamber 22 wherein the balls 46 agitate the makeup 24 within the chamber 22 when the chamber 22 is shaken. A plurality of bristles 48 is coupled to and extends radially from the applicator 26. An interior wall 50 is statically positioned in the tube 12 proximate the chamber 22. The plunger 30 extends through the interior wall 50. A biasing member 52 is positioned in the tube 12 and abuts the interior wall 50. The biasing member 52 is coupled to the button 28 wherein the biasing member 52 urges the button 28 outwardly through the top end 18 of the tube 12 and the applicator 26 into a retracted position 54. The mechanism 66 may work in the same fashion as extension and retraction mechanisms commonly used in a writing implement.
A clip 56 is coupled to an exterior surface 58 of the tube 12. A perimeter wall 60 defining the chamber 22 is positioned in the tube 12. An end 62 of the perimeter wall 60 curves inwardly approaching the dispensing aperture 32.
In use, the button 28 is manipulated to actuate the plunger 30 extending the applicator 26. Makeup material 24 from the chamber 22 is held on the bristles 48 to be applied to a person such as on the eyelashes or another desired body part. The balls 46 may be agitated within the chamber 22 prior to extension of the applicator 26. The applicator 26 is retracted back into the chamber 22 by further manipulation of the button 28. The seal 34 holds the makeup material 24 within the chamber 22 allowing the assembly 10 to be stored in a desired location until needed.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure.
