12b “MULTIPLE COSMETIC UNITS APPLICATOR”
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to applicators for applying a product to the consumer's body; in particular, to a cosmetic applicator containing at least multiple cosmetic units in which one unit can be moved independently of the other units.
DISCUSSION OF THE PREVIOUS STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE
Cosmetic applicators are developed in order to provide a cosmetic gloss agent for the lips, masks, lip liners, concealers, foundation, eye shadows and eye liners, etc., all from a cosmetic unit . This cosmetic unit can be a solid, a liquid container, or an element of the kind. Given the ease of design and manufacture, applicators typically contain only a single cosmetic unit.
Thus, users must have to carry a variety of applicators. For example, when applying a lip gloss, it may be interesting to have a lip liner on your hand as well. Thus, the user must remember to bring both items. This, of course, requires a number of items to be transported in a reduced space available for the handling of the items.
Therefore, there is a need for a simpler and easier-to-use cosmetic applicator that also avoids the known obstacles to having only one cosmetic unit per compartment.
Even when a user carries all items with him, it may happen that the cosmetic agents to be used are incompatible. In the example above, the lip gloss can include ingredients that have a contrary reaction to the lip liner. The conflict can be relatively negligible, with the liquefaction or greasiness of one or another cosmetic agent, even a more serious reaction, with burns or allergic reactions on the user's skin.
Therefore, there is an additional need to provide cosmetic agents that are compatible with each other. Since cosmetic agents can present themselves in different physical states, typically liquid, solid, or amorphous, there is a need for a cosmetic applicator providing such cosmetic agents compatible with their states.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention meets what is necessary. Featuring a cosmetic applicator employing at least a first and second cosmetic agent on a user's skin consisting of a compartment having an internal space, a first cosmetic unit comprising the first cosmetic agent located in the compartment, a second unit cosmetic comprising the second cosmetic agent located in the compartment, and a mechanism for advancing the second cosmetic unit relative to the first cosmetic unit from a recessed position to an advanced position.
The advance mechanism may be a sliding assembly, a girdling assembly, and / or a push button and a spring assembly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In this report, the term “cosmetic agent” is used to represent the cosmetic that is applied to the user, while the term “cosmetic unit” is used to designate the physical formation that includes the cosmetic agent. For example, the components of the lipstick that are used to cover and / or enhance the person's lips constitute the cosmetic agent, while the molded body, typically cylindrical, forms the means of transporting the lipstick being used from the applicator forming the unit cosmetic. Similarly, the liquid in a container would constitute the cosmetic agent, while the container would be the cosmetic unit. Given that experts in the field have an understanding of the above, there is no need for an exhaustive approach.
With respect to Figures 1 and 2, in a first embodiment of the present invention, an applicator of multiple cosmetic units includes a first cosmetic unit and a second cosmetic unit with freedom of movement in relation to the first cosmetic unit from an embedded position for a advanced position via a sliding assembly.
In this report, the expression “embedded position” refers to how much the second cosmetic unit is retracted in the compartment, while the expression “advanced position” is used when a portion accessible to the user, of any length, of the second cosmetic unit, is designed out of the compartment, so that the user can position the cosmetic agent retained in the cosmetic unit next to his body.
In this report, Figures 1a and 1b comprise frontal perspective views of an applicator of multiple cosmetic units 10 according to a first embodiment of the invention. Figures 2a to 2c comprise, respectively, a right side view of the multiple cosmetic unit applicator 10, a front view of the multiple cosmetic unit applicator 10, and a cross-sectional view of the multiple cosmetic unit applicator 10 taken from the side. along the BB line in Figure 2b.
Preferably, the applicator of multiple cosmetic units 10 is made of piers4, metal, and / or thermoplastic elastomers, rubber, manufactured from the use of blow molding, and assembled via snap-fit assemblies. However, any other types of materials, manufacture, and / or method of installation may be used. What is especially desired is to have certain portions of the compartment made from anodized plastic materials to give an improved and refined finish to the visual aspect.
The multi-cosmetic applicator 10 includes a lid 11 and a housing 12. The lid 11 is dimensioned, preferably to fit over a substantial portion of an upper housing body 12a which is sealed via a bushing 12c from a housing body. lower compartment 12b.
The lower body 12b consists of an internal space 12d which can be an empty space or can be configured as a container for the first cosmetic agent used by the first cosmetic unit 14a. The upper body 12a defines a substantially longitudinal internal space that initially houses a second cosmetic unit 14b and the mechanism for advancing the second cosmetic unit relative to the first.
Preferably, compartment 12 is designed to present an attractive shape and at the same time be ergonomically designed to fit the shape of the user's hand. An ergonomic model can include any desired shape that is appropriate. According to the illustration, the lower body 12b can be outlined as a die for a nozzle, while the lower body of compartment 12a can be wider, with the shape of a wrap.
The upper body of compartment 12a includes an opening 12e, suitable for passing both the first cosmetic unit 14a and the second cosmetic unit 14b through such an opening. Opening 12e defines an end close to compartment 12, while the tip of the lower body of compartment 12b defines a far end. The upper body of the compartment 12a also includes a notch 12f oriented substantially longitudinally through which a sliding assembly 16 is adjusted.
Preferably, the first cosmetic unit 14a has a small width-to-length ratio and extends well within the internal space 12d by pulling the first cosmetic agent. For example, the cosmetic unit 14a may have a pencil-shaped appearance, substantially cylindrical in cross-section and having a significant length. In this report, cosmetic unit 14a stretches the entire length of compartment 12 and stretches a portion beyond the close end of compartment 12 to provide the user with an accessible portion 15a.
On the other hand, the second cosmetic unit 14b consists of a second cosmetic agent having, preferably, a greater width-to-length ratio than the first cosmetic unit 14a. For example, the second cosmetic unit 14b is shaped like a lipstick, with a substantially cylindrical cross-section and relatively shorter than the first cosmetic unit.
The cosmetic unit 14b is positioned on the cosmetic unit 14a, including the longitudinal channel 14c that accommodates the first cosmetic unit 14a. The channel 14c extends longitudinally through the second cosmetic unit 14b and can have any shape suitable for the cross section that allows the cosmetic unit 14b to have its movement unimpeded in relation to the first cosmetic unit. Thus, it should be appreciated that the channel 14c includes a peripheral opening around the cosmetic unit 14a.
Using the sliding assembly (to be described below), the second cosmetic unit is moved selectively in relation to the first cosmetic unit from a position embedded in compartment 12 (Figure 1a), so that an accessible portion 15b the user, of any size, of the second cosmetic unit 14b extends beyond the far end of the compartment (Figure 1b).
In this report, for example, cosmetic unit 14a may consist of a lip liner, having a significantly smaller diameter than the second cosmetic unit 14b, such as a lip gloss. The first of the cosmetic units can be solid, semi-solid, or a waxy product, as well as a pencil for the eyes, an eyeliner, masks, lipsticks, lip liner, lip balm, eyebrow shapers, concealers, foundations, blush, etc.
To move the second cosmetic unit, the multi-cosmetic applicator 10 includes a sliding assembly 16. The sliding element 16 may include a key 16a having a composite surface for providing a palpable response to the user. The slide assembly 16 includes spaced arms 16b that connect to a bushing 16c that holds the second cosmetic unit. Preferably, the bushing 16c includes a transverse base with an opening having a suitable size to allow movement of the second cosmetic unit in relation to the first.
When the user pushes the slide assembly 16 via the key 16a, longitudinally towards the opening and the compartment 12d, the second cosmetic unit 14 advances through the opening 12d and a portion 15b is conveniently positioned for the user.
With respect to Figures 3 and 4, in a second embodiment of the present invention, an applicator of multiple cosmetic units includes a first portion of the compartment that rotates in relation to a second portion of the compartment and advances a second cosmetic agent in relation to the first cosmetic agent from an embedded position to an advanced position.
In this report, Figures 3a and 3b consist of perspective views of an applicator of multiple cosmetic units 30 according to the second embodiment of the invention. Figures 4a to 4c consist, respectively, of a front view of cosmetic applicator 30 in an advanced position, a cross-sectional view of cosmetic applicator 30 taken along line AA of Figure 4a, and a view along the cosmetic applicator 30 in an advanced position.
Preferably, the multi-unit applicator 30 is made of plastic, metal, and / or thermoplastic elastomers, rubber, manufactured from blow molding, and installed through snap-fit assembly. However, any other materials, fabrication, and / or installation method may be used. It is particularly desirable to have certain portions of the compartment made from anodized plastic materials to provide an improved and more refined appearance.
In this report, the cosmetic applicator 30 includes a lid 31 and a compartment 32. Preferably, the lid 31 is designed to fit over a substantial portion of an upper body of compartment 32a which is sealed via a sleeve 32 from a lower body 32b.
The lower body of compartment 32b comprises an internal space 32d which can be configured in the form of an empty space or a container for a first cosmetic agent used by a first cosmetic unit 34a. The upper body 32a defines a substantially longitudinal internal space that initially houses a second cosmetic unit 34b and the mechanism for advancing the second cosmetic unit relative to the first.
Similar to the applicator of multiple cosmetic units 10, in this report, the first cosmetic unit 34 preferably has a smaller width-to-length ratio reaching well within the internal space 32d to pull the first cosmetic agent. For example, the cosmetic unit 14a may have a main pencil shape, with a substantially longitudinal cross-section having a significant length. In this report, cosmetic unit 34a stretches the entire length of compartment 32 and stretches a portion beyond the end close to compartment 32, enabling the user to access an accessible portion 35a.
On the other hand, the second cosmetic unit 34b comprises of a second cosmetic agent and preferably has a greater width-to-length ratio than the first cosmetic unit 34a. For example, the second cosmetic unit 34b is shaped like a lipstick, with the cross-section substantially cylindrical and relatively shorter than the first cosmetic unit.
The cosmetic unit 34b is positioned on the cosmetic unit 34a thus including the longitudinal channel 34c which accommodates the first cosmetic unit 34a. The channel 34c extends longitudinally through the second cosmetic unit 34b and can have any suitable cross-sectional shape that allows the cosmetic unit 34b to have its movement unimpeded in relation to the first cosmetic unit. Thus, it should be noted that the channel 34c includes a peripheral clearance around the cosmetic unit 34a. In one embodiment, the cosmetic unit 34a is attached to an end away from the body 32b.
Using the sliding assembly (to be described later), the second cosmetic unit is moved selectively in relation to the first cosmetic unit from a position embedded in the compartment (Figure 3a), so that a portion accessible 35b to the user, from any size, of the second cosmetic unit 14b extends beyond the far end of the compartment (Figure 3b).
In this report, for example, cosmetic unit 34a may consist of a lip liner, the diameter of which is significantly smaller than the second cosmetic unit 34b, such as a lip gloss. The first of the cosmetic units can be solid, semi-solid or a waxy product, such as an eye pencil, eyeliner, mask, lipstick, lip liner, lip balm, eyebrow shaper, concealer, foundation, blush, etc.
To move the second cosmetic unit, the multi cosmetic unit applicator 30 has a sliding assembly 36 included. The sliding assembly 36 includes a sleeve 36a that houses the second cosmetic unit 34b and a socket 36b configured for the insertion of a helical guide 36c and cylinder 36d featuring a channel 36e.
An upper portion of the housing 36b fits within the upper body of the compartment 32a while a lower portion comprising approximately half of the cylinder 36c is arranged in the lower body of the housing 32b. In this report, body 32b rotates with respect to body 32a and rotates with slide assembly 36. Basically, the lower portion of the cosmetic applicator rotates, while the upper portion of the body remains stationary and the cosmetic unit is projected longitudinally.
The bushing 36a further includes pins 36f apart from one another making the path within the guide 36c and being switched close to the body 32a in an internal peripheral groove disposed in the body 32a. The guide 36c is positioned on the inner surface of the bushing and is configured to have a helical surface. By rotating the lower body of compartment 32b, the bushing girds and moves with respect to the geometric axis of the multi-unit applicator 30.
With respect to Figures 5 and 6, in a third embodiment of the present invention, an applicator of multiple cosmetic units includes a first cosmetic unit and a second cosmetic unit with the ability to move in relation to the first cosmetic unit from an embedded position to a advanced position via a push button and spring assembly.
In this report, Figures 5a and 5b consist of perspective views of applicator of multiple cosmetic units 50 according to an embodiment of the invention in which certain portions of the compartment are shown as transparent. Figures 6a to 6c consist, respectively, of a right side view of the multiple cosmetic unit applicator 50, a front view of the multiple cosmetic unit applicator 10, and a cross-sectional view of the multiple cosmetic unit applicator 50 taken along line AA in Figure 6b.
Preferably, the applicator of multiple cosmetic units 50 is made of plastic, metal, and / or thermoplastic elastomers, rubber, manufactured from the use of blow molding, and assembled via pressure fitting assembly. However, any other materials, and / or method of assembly can be used.
It is especially desired to have certain portions of the compartment made with anodized plastic materials for and providing an improved and more refined appearance.
The multi-cosmetic applicator 50 may include a lid, not shown, and a compartment 52. The lid, if provided, is preferably sized to fit over a substantial portion of an upper portion of compartment 52.
The compartment defines a substantially longitudinal internal space that houses a first cosmetic unit 54a, a second cosmetic unit 54b, a spring that together with a push button promotes the advance of the second cosmetic unit in relation to the first cosmetic unit.
Preferably, compartment 52 is designed to present an attractive shape and, at the same time, be ergonomically designed to fit with the user's hand. An ergonomic model can include any shape that is desired.
The compartment 52 contains a nearby opening 52a suitable for passing both the first cosmetic unit 54a and the second cosmetic unit 54b through an opening and a remote opening 52b in which a push button is positioned (to be described later).
Preferably, the first cosmetic unit 54a has a small width-to-length ratio being attached to the remote opening. For example, cosmetic unit 54a may have a main pencil shape having a substantially cylindrical cross section and having a significant length. In this present report, cosmetic unit 54a stretches a portion of the length of the compartment.
On the other hand, the second cosmetic unit 54b consists of a second cosmetic agent and preferably has a greater width-to-length ratio than the first cosmetic unit 54a. For example, the second cosmetic unit 54b has a lipstick shape, with the cross section being substantially cylindrical and being relatively shorter than the first cosmetic unit.
The cosmetic unit 54b is positioned around the cosmetic unit 54a, thus including the longitudinal channel 54c that accommodates the first cosmetic unit 54a. The channel 54c projects longitudinally through the second cosmetic unit 54b and can have any suitable cross-sectional shape that allows the cosmetic unit 54b to move unimpeded in relation to the first cosmetic unit. Thus, it should be noted that the channel 54c includes a peripheral clearance around the cosmetic unit 54a.
Using the push button and the spring (to be described later), the second cosmetic unit is moved selectively in relation to the first cosmetic unit from a position embedded in compartment 52 (Figure 5a) so that an accessible portion 55b the user, of any size, of the second cosmetic unit 54b, extends beyond the far end of the compartment (Figure 5b).
In this report, for example, cosmetic unit 54a may consist of a lip liner whose diameter is significantly smaller than the second cosmetic unit 54b, such as a lip gloss. The first of the cosmetic units can be a solid, semi-solid or waxy product, such as an eye pencil, eye liner, mask, lipstick, lip liner, lip balm, eyebrow shaper, concealer, foundation, blush, etc.
For moving the second cosmetic unit, the multi cosmetic unit holder 50 includes a push button 56a, a spring 56b, and a chuck 56c. The spring 56b is skewed against a bushing 56c. The bushing 56c is substantially cylindrical and retains a lower portion of the second cosmetic unit 54b. The push button 56a is skewed against the bushing at a lower edge of the bushing or is integrated with the bushing, while the spring 56b is skewed against the bushing at an upper edge of the bushing. The spring 56a is skewed at a close edge against a peripheral edge in the opening 52a. A substantially cylindrical guide 56d is retained in a lower part of compartment 52 limiting the path of the push button by engaging a protrusion close to the push button.
When the push button is triggered by the user, the second cosmetic unit moves relative to the first cosmetic unit via a known type of push button mechanism, such as a pen.
With respect to the modalities of Figures 1 to 6, the first cosmetic unit, internal unit comprises and provides a liquid cosmetic agent. The liquid cosmetic agent can be, without being limited to skin care serums, lotions, solutions, sunscreen preparations, self-tanning preparations, color enhancement preparations, brightness enhancement preparations, preparations which include film-forming for the improvement of the attributes of resistance to wear, properties of resistance to humidification and perspiration; a rouge for the face, cosmetic colorants, optical brighteners, fluorescent materials or for brightness as desired with regard to visual effects.
For this purpose, the cosmetic unit can consist of any natural materials or suitable synthetic substrates that include, without limitation, cotton, linen, silk or polyesters, raions, acrylics, acetates, triacetates, polyolefins, and lyogels. Such substrate materials can be impregnated with the liquid cosmetic agent for later supply during use of the first cosmetic unit. Preference is given to highly absorbent substrate materials.
In one or more modalities related to the modalities of Figures 1 to 6, the first cosmetic unit, the inner unit, instead of comprising and providing a liquid cosmetic agent, contains and provides a solid, semi-solid, or waxy cosmetic agent . In this report, each of the modalities contains a capture mechanism that maintains an accessible portion 15a, 35a, or 55a sufficient for the user of the cosmetic unit external to the compartment.
Such a capture mechanism can be automatic, such as a spring set or it can be manual, where the user fits the first cosmetic unit and advances it forward.
In one or more modalities related to the modalities of Figures 1 to 6 or unrelated to them, an external cosmetic unit can contain and supply a liquid cosmetic agent. Thus, Figures 7 to 9 illustrate a fourth embodiment of a multi-cosmetic applicator according to one embodiment of the present invention.
In the present report, Figures 7a and 7b consist of perspective views of the applicator of multiple cosmetic units 70 according to an embodiment of the invention. Figure 8 consists of a cross-sectional view of your multi-cosmetic applicator and Figures 9a and 9b consist of your perspective view from the top.
The applicator of multiple cosmetic units 70 can be constructed in substantially the same manner as taught with respect to any of the previous modalities, with the inclusion of mechanisms for advancing the second cosmetic unit, in this case, the cosmetic unit 74b, in relation to the first cosmetic unit, in this case, the cosmetic unit 74a. The units are dimensioned to substantially allow movement of the second cosmetic unit 74b with respect to the first and advance a user accessible portion 75b, external to compartment 72, to provide a second cosmetic agent. When the second cosmetic unit 74b is embedded, a user-accessible portion 75a of the cosmetic unit 74b is external to the compartment for supplying a first cosmetic agent.
Preferably, compartment 72 includes an internal space 73a which can consist of an empty space or can be used as a container for the second cosmetic agent. In this report, the internal space 73a is sealed, preferably to any other container. One or more flexible compartment portions 73b are positioned in fluid communication with the internal space 73a for infusing the second cosmetic unit with the second cosmetic agent.
In order to advantageously enable delivery of the cosmetic agent on a surface close to the cosmetic unit 74b, a plurality of openings 74c (Figure 9a) are located opposite to a smooth surface (Figure 9b). Each of the cosmetic units can vary in size to enable controlled application with varying areas and allowing for variable dosage or scaled treatments.
With respect to Figures 10, 11, and 12, in an additional embodiment of the present invention, an applicator of multiple cosmetic units includes a first, second and third cosmetic unit that are moved with respect to each other and to the compartment from a recessed position to an advanced position via one or more sliding assemblies.
In this report, the expression “embedded position” is used when a cosmetic unit is retracted in the compartment, while the expression “advanced position” is used when a user-accessible portion, of any size, of the second cosmetic unit is extended beyond the compartment. , so that the user can position the cosmetic agent included in the cosmetic unit next to his body.
Although the modalities of Figures 10 and 11, and 12 are illustrated with respect to three cosmetic units, the limitation of the number of cosmetic units and mechanisms for advancing the cosmetic units to two or an increase in the number of units are also considered by the present modality. cosmetics and mechanisms for advancing cosmetic units to four (4) or even more.
In this report, Figures 10a and 10b comprise, respectively, a perspective view on the right side, and a perspective view on the left side, for a multiple cosmetic unit applicator 100 according to an additional embodiment of the invention. Figures 11a and 11b comprise, respectively, a partial view along and a front perspective view of the applicator of multiple cosmetic units 100. Figures 12a to 12e consist, respectively, of a right side view of the multiple cosmetic unit applicator 100, a partial view along the side of the multiple cosmetic unit applicator 100, and a partial view along the top of the cosmetic applicator 100 multiple cosmetic units 100, a cross-sectional view of the dual cosmetic applicator 100 taken along line AA of Figure 12a, and a partial view along a detail of area B of Figure 12a.
Preferably, the multi-unit applicator 100 is made of plastic, metal, and / or thermoplastic elastomers, rubber, manufactured with the use of blow molding, and installed through a press fit assembly. However, any other materials, fabrications, and / or assembly methods may be used. It is particularly desirable to have certain portions of the compartment made of materials from anodized plastic for an improved and refined appearance.
The multi-cosmetic applicator 100 includes a compartment 112 having an upper body 112a and a lower body 112b which are removably attached or joined by any known mechanism. The upper body 112a defines a substantially longitudinal internal space 112c for one or more sliding assemblies and cosmetic units. The lower body 112b comprises an internal space 112d configured to receive a portion of one or more cosmetic units when in an embedded position.
The internal space 112d can be an empty space or it can also comprise one or more containers, each of which can accommodate a different cosmetic agent or the same cosmetic agent as taught in this specification. If the cosmetic agent is fluid, one or more containers may be in fluid communication with one or more of the corresponding cosmetic units.
Preferably, compartment 112 is designed to present an attractive shape while being ergonomically designed to fit the user's hand. An ergonomic model can include any desired shape that is determined to be suitable. As shown, the lower body 112b can be configured to taper a nozzle while the upper body of compartment 112a has a much wider shape. The upper and lower bodies can be joined together via a ring portion 112c.
The upper housing body 112a includes an opening 112f, suitable for passing a first cosmetic unit 114a, a second cosmetic unit 114b, and a third cosmetic unit 114c through an opening. Opening 112f defines an end close to compartment 112, while the spout of the lower body compartment 112b defines a far end. The upper housing body 112a further substantially includes one or more longitudinally oriented notches 112g in which the corresponding sliding assembly 116 is adjusted.
Each of the three cosmetic units has a substantially longitudinal shape that once in a recessed position extends from an end close to compartment 112 through inner space 112c to inner space 112d to an end distant from the cosmetic unit. In cross section, each cosmetic unit can take any shape. It may be preferable for each cosmetic unit to have the largest unit portion; for example, a segment of a circle or a portion of a triangle. Giving the possibility of unimpeded independent movement; each cosmetic unit being spaced, spaced laterally from each other. Thus, it should be noted that the opening 112f includes a peripheral clearance to allow the movement of the cosmetic units.
With the use of the sliding assembly (to be described later), each cosmetic unit is moved selectively, one in relation to the other cosmetic units from a position embedded in compartment 112, to a portion accessible 115 to the user, of any size, of one or more cosmetic units extending beyond the far end of the compartment. When in an advanced position, each of the cosmetic units extends beyond a portion close to the compartment 112 providing a user accessible portion 115.
To move the cosmetic units, the multi-unit applicator 100 includes one or more slide sets 116. Each slide set 116 may include a key 116a having a composite surface for providing a tangible response to the user. Each slide assembly 116 includes a hinge 116b that connects to a sleeve 116c for retaining the cosmetic units.
When the user pushes the slide assembly 116 via the key 116a, longitudinally towards the opening and the compartment, the respective cosmetic unit advances through the opening 112f and a portion 1156 is conveniently located for the user.
