Abstract
Stabilizing cosmetic trays adapted to restrain cosmetic items in a steadfast emplaced position are provided by equipping the cosmetic tray beds with a cohesive and adhesive thermoset overlay typically provided by overlaying a bed of the cosmetic tray therewith. The overlay adhesively restrains emplaced cosmetic items until physically removed by force from the overlay by the cosmetic user.
Claims34
A cosmetic tray equipped to restrain an emplaced cosmetic item at a stowable position until manually removed therefrom, said cosmetic tray comprising a supportive base for supporting cosmetic items placed thereupon and a cohesive and adhesive stabilizing thermoset polymerizate overlay characterized as having an adhesion release strength of at least 300 gf/cm2 overlaying the supportive base.
A method for manufacturing a cosmetic tray adapted to restrain cosmetic items emplaced within the tray, said method comprising:
- a. providing a cosmetic tray equipped with a supportive base;
- b. preparing an cohesive and adhesive thermoset elastomeric overlay having a cured adhesion release strength of at least 300 gf/cm2 and a cohesive capacity to cleanly release from the cosmetic items without leaving more than a minuscule amount of residue upon release therefrom;
- and
- c. applying the overlay or a thermosetting precursor of the overlay to the supportive base to provide the cohesive and adhesive elastomeric overlay possessing sufficient adhesiveness to restrain the cosmetic items thereupon.
A cosmetic container combination having a supportive base which is supportive of cosmetic items placed thereupon, comprising a cohesive and adhesive thermoset viscoelastomeric overlay disposed upon the supportive base, wherein the overlay has sufficient adhesiveness to restrain the cosmetic items placed thereupon at a desired stabilized position while also allowing for a release of the cosmetic items from the overlay by applying a sufficient counteracting manual force to separate the cosmetic items from the overlay with the overlay being further characterized as cohesively separating from the cosmetic items while leaving no more than trace amounts of the overlay upon the cosmetic items separated therefrom while the overlay remains firmly bonded to the supportive base upon the separation of the cosmetic items therefrom.
A method of retrofitting a conventional cosmetic tray, said method comprising:
- a. providing a cohesive and adhesive viscoelastomeric insertable overlay sized to mate onto a supportive bed of the cosmetic tray with said insertable overlay being characterized as having an adhesion release strength of at least 300 gf/cm2 and sufficient cohesiveness so as to remain substantially intact upon an adhesive release of the overlay from the supportive bed and
- b. inserting the overlay onto the supportive bed so as to provide a cosmetic container adapted to adhesively restrain cosmetic items emplaced thereupon.
