  • a reservoir tube can be spin-welded, ultrasonic welded, or otherwise bonded to a neck, preferably before sealing.
  • a neck/reservoir combination can be injection molded as a single piece.
  • the wall thickness will be greater than when extruded components are used.

  • Couplers can include, without being limited to, beads (e.g., snap bead rings), clamps, claws, clips, keys, threads, and wedges. Claws (e.g., crab claws), clips, snap beads, and threads are preferred.
  • Couplers can restrain movement in one or more directions by means such as frictional and mechanical engagement, elastic deformation, and inelastic deformation.
  • the provision of one or more couplers on the neck permits the use of various applicator heads for specific cosmetic applications. Provision of a suitable coupler can also permit the interchange of applicator heads for flexibility of application of a cosmetic mass contained in a single reservoir.
  • a coupler will substantially restrain movement of the neck with respect to the applicator head in the axial direction, such that the head will not be substantially pushed into or pulled out of the neck while in storage or use.
  • the coupler will also substantially restrain movement of the neck with respect to the applicator head in the radial direction, such that the applicator head does not rotate substantially with respect to the neck, although this need not be the case and, in other embodiments, such freedom of rotation will be preferred.
  • the applicator head can be inserted into the neck or the neck can be inserted into the head, preferably the former.
  • the inner wall of the neck includes at least one, preferably two, inner couplers
  • the outer wall of the applicator head includes at least one, preferably two, outer couplers

  • the outer wall of the applicator head includes an outer coupler
  • the interior of the applicator head communicates with the interior of one or more of the neck and the reservoir.
  • an applicator/container combination optionally, but preferably, includes a cap removably engaged with the applicator head outer coupler.
  • Preferred applicator heads include a tip portion including one or more discharge openings and a plurality of fibers (e.g., bristles or flocking) disposed at the application end (e.g., the outer surface) of the tip, to aid in dispersing and applying the cosmetic mass.
  • the applicator head preferably is rigid, and can be made from the same materials identified above for construction of containers. Suitable applicators heads are commercially available under the designations Tl, T2, and T3, from Cosmolab, Inc., of Lewisburg, Tennessee, for example.
  • Any cosmetic mass having a viscosity suitable for dispensation via a tube can be loaded into a container disclosed herein and used in an applicator disclosed herein.
  • Suitable cosmetics include eyeshadows, eyeliners, lip liners, and lip colors, and are known to those in the art and available for commercial purchase.
  • the applicator head in an embodiment wherein the applicator head is joined to the reservoir (e.g., by bonding or integral formation), then preferably the applicator head includes a rigid base portion adjacent the reservoir and the rigid base portion includes a coupler for engagement with a removable cap.

  • the applicator 10 also includes a tubular neck 20 joined to the reservoir 12, a tubular applicator head 22 disposed within the interior of the neck 20, and a cap 24 removably engaged with the neck 20.
  • the interior of the neck 20 communicates with the interior of the reservoir 12.
  • Figure 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of the applicator 10, as indicated in Figure 1, enlarged to show details.
