Z Clain- (Cl. Zim-56) The present invention relates to improvements in lipstick holders of the type comprising a tube accommodating the lipstick, and in elongation thereof lal casing containing a displacing member by means ofwhich the lipstick can be longitudinally displaced within the said tube.
In hitherto known lipstick holders of this type it is not always possible without fail to displace the lipstick in both directions within the lipstick tube, it being particularly diiiicult to draw the lipstick back intothe tubeafter having used it. Another defect in lipstick holders of known type is that when a lipstick is used up, the tube in which the lipstick is supplied, cannot be used again unless it is subjected to a somewhat arduous cleaning for the rernc-val of lipstick remnants, for which reason the tube is usually discarded.
The main object of the invention is to provide `a lipstick holder in which the said drawbacks of known lipstick holders of the type in question are eliminated.
Another object of the invention is to provide a lipstick holder having a long elegant `appearance of small diameter in which a relatively thin lipstick suitable for drawing line lines can be used.
`Yet another object of the invention is to provide a lipstick holder in which the lipstick is displaceable within its tube in either direction without risk of being damaged.
A further object of the invention is to provide a lipstick holder in which all the parts used can be manufactured at a low price to produce a relatively cheap holder.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a lipstick holder in which it is possible by simple means to remove the remnants of a used lipstick together with its carrier and insert a new carrier with a new lipstick.
It is also an object of the invention to provide la lipstick holder in which the locking head is rotatable within the displacing member to prevent rotation of the lipstick within its tube.
These and other objects of the invention will be evident from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. l shows in section a bushing constituting a displacement member,
Fig. 2 is a .tubular guide member for the bushing,
Fig. 3 shows in side elevation a slotted tube that coacts with the displacing member,
Fig. 4 shows in side elevation a casing for the lipstick holder,
Fig. 5 shows on an increased scale and in section a part of the lipstick holder including the members shown in Figs. 1-4, and with the lipstick carrier and displacing member interlocked,
Fig. 6 shows on a further increased scale the locking means in their relative position prior to be being interlocked,
Fig. 7 the parts shown in Fig. 6 in their interlocked position,
Fig. 8 is a section on line VIII-VIII in Fig. 6,
Fig. 9 is a longitudinal section through a part of a modified manner of construction of the lipstick holder, and
Fig. 10 shows in longitudinal section a part of another modification of the lipstick holder.
Referring particularly to Figs. 1-8, the lipstick holder comprises a bushing 1 of thin sheet metal which at its upper end is provided with an exterior annular depression 2, and 4at its lower end has a laterally projecting pin 3. The object of the depression and pin will be explained la'ter in the specication. Tube 1 is surrounded by a tightly fitting but freely movable tube 4, Fig. 2, which at its upper end has an external annular bead 5 and above this a number of longitudinal projections 6. The lower end of tube 4 is closed by means of a bottom plate 7. Between its lower end and the bead 5 tube 4 is provided with a longitudinal slot 8 in which the pin 3 on tube 1 fits. Another tube 10, Fig. 3, provided witha helical groove 9 throughout its entire length is adapted to fit around tube 4 in such a manner that pin 3 on bushing 1 projects through slot 8 into the groove 9. At the lower end of the helically grooved tube 10 there is provided a laterally projecting lug 11. The assembled bushing 1 and tubes 4 `and 10 are inserted in a casing 12 provided at its lower end with a cap 14, in which a notch 13 is formed for the lug I11 to prevent rotation of the slotted tube 10 in relation to the casing.
In the upper end of bushing 1 there is inserted a locking member 15, which has an annular recess engaging the inner side of the depression 2 in such a manner that the locking member can `be rotated but not longitudinally displaced within the bushing 1. The upper end of locking member 15 has locking head 16, the upper surface of which is rounded, and the lower end of which forms a shoulder 17, see Figs. 5, 6 and 7.
As shown in Fig. 5 the holder is provided with a detachable lipstick tube 19containing a lipstick 18, the lower end of which is iixed in the cup-shaped end of a' lipstick carrier 20 that can slide with some friction in tube 19. The lower side of the carrier 20 has two diametrically arranged, downwardly extending resilient iiaps 22 with inwardly projecting hooks 24. The lipstick carrier 20-24 is preferably made of a plastic substance, and the cupped end may be provided with barbs 23 by means of which the :lipstick is securely held. Instead of two resilient aps 22 there may be used for instance four, or any other suitable number.
When the parts 1, 4, 10 and 12 are assembled as shown in the lower end of Fig. 5, and it is desired to attach an assembled lipstick tube 19, lipstick 18 and lipstick carrier 20, the lipstick carrier flaps 22 project outside the lower end of the lipstick tube 19 as shown in Fig. 6. By means of the lipstick tube 19 the carrier 20 is pushed down sothat it abuts the head `16 of the locking member 1S, and the tube 19 continues to slide down the carrier 20 so as to press the flaps 22 whereby the hooks 24 engage the shoulder 17 of the locking head 16, see Fig. 7. The lipstick tube 19 is pressed down over the upper end of tube 4 until it abuts the bead 5, being at the same time clamped to tube 4 by means of the projections 6. When the lipstick tube 19 is held by one hand and the casing 12 is rotated by the other hand, the helically grooved tube 10 will cause the bushing 1 to slide upwardly and thus press the lipstick upwardly within the lipstick tube 19, until its upper end projects a suitable distance outside the upper end of this tube. After use the casing is rotated in the opposite direction, so that tube 10 and locking member 15 pull the carrier 20 and lipstick 18 down again into the lipstick tube 19.
When a lipstick is used up, or if another shade of lipstick is needed, the lipstick tube 19 is pulled up until the aps 22 are released, see Fig, 6, whereupon the carrier is withdrawn from the tube 19 and replaced by `a new carrier with a new lipstick in the manner explained above.
In the lipstick holder shown in Fig. 9 the casing 25 has an interior helical groove 26 that is engaged by a lug 27 on-the lower end of the lipstick tube 19a. The lipstick 18 is inserted in a carrier 20 of the above described construction. The locking head 28 coacting with the carrier 20 is attached to the upper end of 'a rod 29 rigidly attached to the lower end of the casing 25. Upon rotation of the casing by one hand while the lipstick tube 19a is held by the other hand, the latter tube will be moved down until the upper end of the lipstick is moved out of the tube 19a. When casing 25 is rotated in the opposite direction, the tube 19a is moved upward, until the lipstick is fully withdrawn into the tube. Insertion and removal of the lipstick land carrier take place in the same rnauner as explained in connection with Figs. -7.
The modication shown in Fig. comprises a casing 30 provided with an nteriorly threaded, rigidly attached nut 31 for an exteriorly threaded rod 32 which on its upper end has aI locking head 33. This locking head coacts with the lipstick carrier 20 as above described. This holder is intended for a lipstick that has such a consistency that it can be held while rotating the casing 30. The friction between the locking members 22 and 33 will allow the rod 32 to be screwed up through nut 31 `and thus displace the carrier 20 and lipstick. In this instance the carrier 20 must not t too tightly in the lipstick tube 19b.
All the lipstick holders described are provided with a detachable cover 34, see Figs. 5 and 9.
The invention is not restricted to the manners of construction illustrated since it will readily be understood that details of the various parts of the holders may be altered within the scope of the invention as defined in the following claims.
