Definitions

  • Suchldevices have several Vdisadvantages among which are the inability to use the whole of thecosmetic material, the presence of a( metal edge capable of inicting a cut and that' th'e initial point on the forward end Vof the cosmeticstickisquickly Worn down to -a ilat ysurface and cannot be reformed without considerable waste Vof -matriaL
  • the object ofthe present invention is to provide an improved holder for cosmetics which will enable the same to be used in ⁇ paste form, be applied by a device having an end which will retain its shape, and be used up almost to the vend so that the amount of waste is reduced to a negligible minimum.
  • a holder according to the present invention comprises broadly in combination a container for the cosmeticV having one end closed, a casing adapted to receive said container and means for removing the cosmetic from the container for lapplication by the user, said means consisting of a plunger or applicator having a stem which is insertable into the open end of. the container to contact the cosmetic paste and be smeared 4with a covering of the same for subsequent application by the user.
  • the invention also contemplates the provision of a container which may be supplied to the v.user already lled with cosmetic paste, said container being insertable in the casing of the cosmetic holder according to this invention and be movable longitudinally therein, so that the plunger or applicator end may maintain contact lwith the paste as it is used up, said container Vbeing adapted to react with the holder casing to resist ejection under normal pressure of the A'plunger or applicator.
  • Fig. 2 is an exploded view ofthe arrangement Vaccording to Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 is a similar view to Fig. 1 but showing aholder having a casing of different shape.
  • Fig. 4 is anoutside view of the arrangement shown in Fig.' 3.
  • Fig. 5 is 'a section to an enlarged scale on the line 5 5 'ofA Fig. 3 showingone method of locking the plunger or applicator in the casing when not in use. f
  • Figs. ⁇ 6 and 7 show to an enlarged scale and partly in section, the preferred shape of the removable end of the plunger or applicator and also show alternativemethods of securing the removable end to the plunger orapplicator stem, and alternativemethod's of forming the surface of the said removable end to ensure suitable retention of the paste covering.
  • the charged container - is inserted, closed end first,V into a tubular casing b, said casing being open at both ends so as to permit theentry of the container jat oneend and its projection throughV the other.
  • T o prevent said container from passing completely through the casing, and to Aprevent its -accidenta1'ejection,- the bore Vof said casinglis reduced at one end to provide a. shoulder c-.which is engaged by a ange d surrounding the open end of the 'container a (see Figs. 1 and 3);
  • the cosmetic paste is removed from thereontainer as required and applied to the skin of the user by means-of a plunger or applicator, one
  • the pointed or conical shaped end of the plunger or applicator stem is shown at c and is made as a separate piece, of rubber or other suitable material, such end portion either being moulded in position on the stem of the plunger or applicator, or alternatively is removable therefrom for substitution by a replace- 4ment should wear occur or the same be damaged fing of paste.
  • the plunger is' then removed from the casing and the l' shaped end, smeared ⁇ with. paste. is applied to the skin of the user.
  • the position of the container Within the casing is adjusted by pushing said container into the casing so that the shaped end e of the plunger or applicator stem is maintained in contact with the paste, and to permit the escape of air from the container during such operation the surface of such shaped -end is, for preference, provided with flutes or grooves g. Y
  • Thel surface of the shaped end e may however be roughened, or broken in any suitable manner to ensure that an adequate supply of paste will be collected and retained by said surface when the shaped end is pressed into contact with the paste.
  • the outer or closed end h 'Lof the container is made the same pointed or :conical shape as the end e of the plunger or applicator stem.
  • a threaded flange i formed on one end of Figl 6 by form- Y or applicator is the plunger or applicator stem, which is screwed 4into a correspondingly threaded portion lc in the rear end of the bore of the casing, theperiphery of said flange being knurled to assist the user to .screw up or unscrew the plunger or applicator.
  • the stem of the plunger or applicator is drilled to receive, in detachable engagement, an eye- @brow pencil l of conventional stick form, the said pencil being detachably mounted in a flange m Vwhich is provided with a thread n adapted to be screwed into a similarly threaded portion o formed in the outer end of the bore of the suspectunger or applicator stem.
  • the casing may be made of any suitable matefrial such as metal, or be moulded in a synthetic resinous substance andthe exterior shape of said .casing may be circular as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 or square as shown in the modified Yarrangement ,in Figs. 3-5.
  • Figs. 3-5 show also a modified form Yof locking means for retaining the plunger or applicator Within the casing, when not in use.
  • the upper Vend of the bore of the casing is formed with four 'equally spaced projections p the plain flange of fthe plunger or applicator being provided with an uequivalent number of similarly spaced depressions or indentations q.
  • the plunger or applicator When no1'l in use, the plunger or applicator is inserted into the casing, as in the previous arrangement so that the flat surfaces r register with the prietisge 12 and, @109k .Said plunger@ applicator in position. the flange' 'is partially rotated so that the indentations q on the plunger flange are moved into engagement with the projections p.
  • the projections p can be utilized to prevent the container from falling freely out of the casing by causing said projections to be an interference fit with the flange d, in which case it will be necessary to press firmly on the open end of the container when assembling .the same in the casing so that the flange will pass the projection.
  • Fig. 6' shows to an enlarged scale the preferred shape of the shaped end of the plunger or applicator.
  • Other shapes can of course be used such, for example, as the spherical shaped surface shown in Fig. 3 but it has been found that the shape shown in Fig. 6 has the advantage that the cosmetic paste can be applied more skillfully and Withgreater accuracy to the skin of the user.
  • the cosmetic paste can be supplied to the user in the usual form either in tubes or Wrapped, but it is preferred that the sameshould be supplied Valready charged into the container, so that the user can dispense with an emptied container and substitute forl the Vsame a refill, the refill containers thus supplied having their open end'closed by avlabel or cover which preferably bears an lidentification mark giving the' shade, quality and/or other particulars of the cosmetic paste contained therein. It is not necessary that the rell'cont'ainers shall all be tof one size as the holder ofthe present'invention when made to take the largest size rell is also capable of taking a refill of any ofthe smallersizes.
  • V- To prevent the shaped end e, when the same is ,made as a separate piece, from becoming accidentally detached from the plunger or applicator stem,.it is preferred that the same should be ⁇ Vk'e'yed or secured ⁇ in position by interlocking means, and this can be effected as shown in Fig. 6 by providing the end of the plunger or applicator lstem with circumferential grooves s'which engage with corresponding circumferential projections t formed in the interior of the recess in the shaped end e, or, as Yshown in Fig. 7, by providing the stem with an enlarged or mushroom shaped portion'u which engages with a similar shaped recess in the shaped end e;
