., I v LIPSTICK HOLDER Howard F1 Rei'chenbach, Waterbury, Conn, as:
'signon to"Cresale Incorporated, waterliuryj onn-.,, a, corporation of Connecticut i :Application September 23, 1946, Serial time;
' Claims; (01. 20656-) This: invention relates to lipstick applicators and containers. 'theref-orj and more particularly toa; deviceeof the above: nature having means to positively prevent; the. tubular outside cover cap from off the. base thereof when not 1n use.
One objiecti'ofifie' present invention is to provide a horizontal cap-retaining ring adapted to rest upon an upstanding rib onthebase of the holder,. and. provided. with a series ofv depending outwardly bent spring fingers for pressing outwardly upon the inner surface of the bottom of the lipstick ca-pto hold it detachably in closed positiom Arfurther. object is to, provide :ailipsti'ck container of the above nature, in, winch the. slotted. metal shell surrounding the elevator is secured: to the base-by adseries of, intu.rned lugs which. are frictionally engaged in an annular intermediate recess formed in said base.
A further object is to provide a lipstick holder of the above nature, which will be simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, easy to install and manipulate, compact, ornamental in appearance, and very efiicient and durable in use.
With these and other objects in view, there has been illustrated on the accompanying drawing one form in which the invention may conveniently be embodied in practice.
In the drawings,
Fig. 1 represents a side view, partly in section, of the improved lipstick holder.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section view of the lipstick holder.
Fig. 3 is a side View of the same, as it appears when the cover cap is in raised position and out of contact with the spring fingers of the base ring.
Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view, taken along the line 44 of Fig. 2, looking in the direction of the arrows.
In the use of lipstick holders, due to the great variation in diameter of molded plastic parts, it is difficult to maintain a good friction fit between the tubular cover cap and the base of the holder. In fact, in mass production, the interior of such caps may vary as much as fifteen thousandths of an inch in diameter, and when closed upon the base some of the caps are likely to work loose and come ofi and cause the lipstick to soil the contents of the handbag or other receptacle.
The present invention eliminates the above and other disadvantages by providing a horizontal base ring having outstanding resilient spring fingers for engaging the inside of the cap.
The cap-holding ring has an open center and a fiat horizontal top band, from which dependa series of rounded spring fingers which areinclined outwardly to engage the inside of the cover cap, thus.detachably holding said cap in.
closed position;
Referring now; to the drawings in which like 7 reference numerals denote corresponding; parts" throughout the severalviews; the numeral III indicates a cyli-ndricaliopen-ended cover cap, preferably constructed of molded pla'stic. The cap l fl is provided with a thickened 'close'd' upperend I I, and is adaptedtobe mountedon a plasticbase I2 having a' bottom shallow recess I31 The base." I2 is provided with a shortouter'upstanding' rinr I4, within which is an intermediate upstanding rim I5, and an inner upstanding ri'rnf I6} The, rims I5 and it; are"; greater in height than the outer rim I4, 'a'sshowninFig; 2. V r
Located between th s P4, I5- andthe' rims I5, I iirespectively,"'rea pa of, annular recesses 1 & .a;
In order to reduce weight, the base I2 is also provided with a central circular recess I9 inside of the rim I6.
A lipstick 20, carried in an elevator 2i having'a side cylindrical lug 22, is adapted to slide up and down within a vertical slot 23 formed in a cylindrieal inner metallic shell 24said slot 23 extending about three-quarters of the length of said shell 24, as shown in Fig. 2.
Surrounding the inner shell 24 is a screw shell 25, preferably of plastic, which is adapted to rotate with respect to the inner shell 24, and is provided with a pair of reversed helical inner grooves 26, 25a. The top of the plastic shell 25 is provided with an inner shouldered annular recess 25a for receiving an outturned rim 3| formed on the upper end of the inner metal shell 24, for permanently holding the outer shell 25 loosely in operating position.
The bottom of the inner metal shell 24 is seated within the intermediate recess I 3, and is held frictionally rigidly therewithin by means of a plurality of inturned lugs 21, forced into said recess I8 durin the assembly operation.
In order to hold the outer cap I0 securely in detachable closed position, provision is made of an annular ring 28 having a horizontal circular inner section 29, and a plurality of uniformly spaced depending oval-tipped inclined spring fingers 3!). The fingers 3i! serve to frictionally engage the bottom of the cover cap II), as clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and detachably hold it from coming ofi, thus preventing the lipstick 20 from soiling the contents of the handbag or other receptacle for the lipstick holder. Preferably the bottoms of the spring fingers 30 should extend into the groove IT, as shown, for the purpose of preventing the tips of the fingers from digging into the cap or catching lint.
Operation In operation, after first removing the cap Hi, the lipstick 20 may be raised out of the plastic screw shell 25 by manually rotating said shellthe helical grooves 26 and 26a causing the lug 22 to travel upwardly in the vertical slot 23 of the inner metal shell 24. 1
When through using the lipstick, the screw shell 25 will be rotated in the reverse direction, causing the elevator and lipstick cake to be retracted to its lowermost position, shown in Fig. 2.
The cover cap ill will then be again placed over the outside of the shell 26, and pressed downwardly as far as it will go to the frictional locking position shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing.
One advantage of the present invention is that the inclined spring fingers 30 of the horizontal base ring 28 will prevent the interior lipstick carrier 2| from twisting in its holder shell 24 which would elevate the lipstick and cause it to rub off on the inside of the top of the cover cap.
While there has been disclosed in this specification one form in which the invention may be embodied, it is to be understood that this form is shown for the purpose of illustration only, and that the invention is not to be limited to the specific disclosure, but may be modified and em bodied in various other forms without departing from its spirit. In short, the invention includes all the modifications and embodiments coming within the scope of the following claims.
Having thus fully described the invention, what is claimed as new and for which it is desired to secure Letters Patent is:
1. In a lipstick holder, a lipstick-carrying elevator, a base, a cover cap, a metal shell secured to said base, said base having an annular exterior shoulder, and an annular cap-locking flat ring seated on said shoulder and having depending inclined spring fingers for detachably engaging the inside surface of the lower end of said cover cap frictionally when it is forced downwardly thereover.
2. The invention defined in claim 1, in which said base has an annular recess located within said shoulder into which said fingers extend.
3. The invention defined in claim 1, in which said spring fingers are oval-tipped.
4. The invention defined in claim 1, in which said spring fingers are widely spaced apart around the circumference of said base ring.
5. In a lipstick holder, a lipstick-carrying elevator, a base, a cover cap, a metal shell secured to said base, said base'having an annular exterior shoulder, and an annular cap-locking fiat ring seated on said shoulder and having depending inclined spring means for detachably engaging the inside surface of the lower end of said cover cap frictionally when it is forced downwardly thereover.
