3 Claims.
This invention relates to cosmetic devices of the general character embodied in our joint application for patent filed September 10, 1938, Serial No. 229,342, which has matured into Patent No. 2,193,509 issued March 12, 1940, and wherein is disclosed and claimed a device by which acosmetic or other preparation can be directly applied to the surface to be treated, Without smearing or waste of the preparation.
An object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic device which is characterized structurally by a minimum number of simply constructed parts forming a compact and inexpensive article, and functionally related in a manner to enable the preparation to be economically used, and naturally and artistically applied by eliminating the use of the fingers as applicators.
Another object of the invention is to provide a cosmetic device in which a. receptacle for the preparation, and an applicator carrying closure for the receptacle, are telescopically related in a manner to enable the over-all length of the device to decrease automatically as the preparation is used, so as to accordingly increase the compactness of the device. A'further object of the invention is to provide a cosmetic device in which the telescopically arranged receptacle and closure are diametrically proportioned in a manner for the closure to have a suiiiciently snug friction fit on the receptacle in its initial telescoped position on the latter, to be retained connected to the receptacle against accidental separation therefrom, and'f or the closure to be freely rotatable relative to the receptacle in other telescoped positions of adjustment so as to enable a film of they preparation inthe receptacle to be transferred to the applicator in response to a rotary or oscillatory motion of the latter by correspondingly manipulating the closure.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a. cosmetic device having means for preventing any of the preparation inadvertently or carelessly deposited from the applicator onto the mouth of the receptacle as the closure is inserted or withdrawn, from being smeared on the outer surface of the receptacle by the closure when applied thereto, the said means also permitting the free flow of air between the telescoped portions of the receptacle and closure in order to prevent the formation of an air pocket which would interfere with relative axial motion between the receptacle and closure.
Another object of the invention is to provide Application July 21, 1939, Serial No. 285,710
a cosmetic device in which the applicator is structurally characterized to facilitate the transfer of a film of the preparation thereto from the receptacle.
With these and other objects in view, the invention resides in the combinations and arrange'ments of elements as set forth in the following specification andparticularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawing,
Figure 1 is a central longitudinal sectional of Figures 1 and 2, respectively.
Referring specifically to the drawing, the invention broadly comprises a receptacle R, and-a closure C therefor, carrying an applicator A, all preferably molded of a suitable plastic.
The receptacle R is a tubular, cylindrical body ID, the cylindrical bore H of which is of uniform diameter from the one closed end of the body to the other open end or mouth thereof. The body i0 varies in diameter externally with its greatest diameter at and adjacent to its open end as indicated at l2, from which the body tapers to decrease in diameter towards its closed end.
The closure 0 is in the form of a deep cup shaped cap l3, provided internaly with several circumferentially spaced, longitudinally extending'ribs i4, and is of a uniform inside diameter except for a portion at its open end which is slightly constricted as indicated at i5. The ribs I 4 follow the described internal diametric variation of the closure and co-act at the constricted portion IS with the greatest diameter I2 01' the receptacle to provide a relatively snug or close friction fit between the receptacle and closure in the initial or slightly telescoped position of the two as shown in Figures 1 and 4, all for a purpose to be later described.
From the closed end of the closure projects internally thereof a centrally located socket It in which is permanently secured by a suitable adhesive, the cylindrical shank or stem i! of the applicator A, the shank extending from the closure co-axially with respect thereto, and having on its free end a head I8 of substantially conical form, with respect to which the bottom of the bore l I of the receptacle is complementary as shown at 19.
The conical surface of the head I8 is provided with a radiating series of grooves 2!! or is suitably roughened by serrations, pockets or other means to facilitate the transfer of the contents. of the receptacle to the applicator inthe opera-;
tacle against loss therefrom.
To transfer cosmetic to the head It, the closure R- is telescoped further onto the receptacle a slightLdistance which, as shown by Figure 2, isv
suiiicient to frictionally free the closure from the receptacle as the constricted portion lb of .the closure clears the greatest diametered portion I! of the receptacle. The closure is now freely rotatable so that with the head ill in contact with the cosmetic, a film of the latter will be trans ferred to the head. The transference of cosmetic asrthey readily pick up the substance.
The applicator is now withdrawn from the receptacle, and the cosmetic on the head i8 is applied to the lips exactly as'desired, without .the necessity of using the fingers as applicators for such purpose. i
As the cosmetic is used, the closure C is naturally telescoped further that the over-all length of the. device is reduced to increase its compactness, as shown by Figure 3- Should any of the cosmetic'be transferred from the applicator head 18 to the outer edge of -.the receptacle R at the mouth of the bore H as a grooves facilitate this.
'into the receptacle for air in the closure and thus eliminate diillculty in applying the closure to the receptacle and removing the closure therefrom.
What is claimed is:
1. A device of the class described comprising a receptacle; a closure telescopically receiving the receptacle and carrying anapplicator insertible transferring a portion of the latters contents to the applicator; and means interrupting the circumferential contact of the receptacle and closure at intervals to-reduce to a minimum the smearing by the closure on the outer peripheral surface of the receptacle, any of *the contents of the latter which is transferred to the mouth of the receptacle from the applicator,
hy contact of the latter with the receptacle mouth.
2.Adevice of the class described comprising a receptacle; a closure telescopically receiving the onto the receptacle so receptacle and carrying an applicator insertible into the receptacle for transferring a portion of the latters contents to the applicator; and a plurality of longitudinally extending ribs on the internal Wall of the closure, spacing such wall from the outer wall of the receptacle and operable to reduce to a minimum, the smearing of any of the receptacle's contents from the mouth thereof onto the outer surface of the receptacle by the closure during telescoping movement thereof.
3. A cosmetic device comprising a tubular receptacle member closed at one end and open at the other for receivingand holding a supply of plastic cosmetic material, the exterior of said member tapering inwardly from the open end thereof, a cover comprising an elongated tubular member, alsoclosed at one end and open at the other end, the internal bore of said cover member being of a diameter suillcient to freely telescope about the largest exterior diameter of said reresult of inaccurate insertion or withdrawal of the applicator, the ribs ilwill prevent the cosmetic from being smeared over the outer surface of the body ill, as the ribs space the internal wall of the closure from the periphery of the body and present only a very small surface circumferentially, to produce a wiping action upon the cosmetic. To further reduce the possibility of smearing the cosmetic on the outer surface of the body, the outer or leading ends of the ribs are.
taperedto a point as indicated at Na in Figure 1-. Furthermore, the ribs prevent the trapping of ceptacle member, an applicator fixed upon the closedend of said cover member and extending within said cover member toward the open end thereof to engage and remove portions of the contents of the receptacle when the cover is telescoped thereon, said cover member having a con-v striction of its bore immediately adjacent the open end thereof to engage the large end of .said receptacle to thereby prevent acciedntal; removal of the cover while permitting free rotational and longitudinal movement of said cover and applicator when the said receptacle end is telescoped within said cover member at all other positions of the cover on the receptacle.-
