Abstract
An applicator system for containing and dispensing a cosmetic substance may include a container defining a cavity and including an open first end, a dispensing mechanism operably coupled with the first end of the container, and an applicator. The dispensing mechanism includes an elongated body that includes first and second ends and an actuator assembly operably coupled therewith. The applicator is operably coupled with the actuator assembly and is positioned at or near the first end of the elongated body and the first end of the container. Upon engaging the actuator assembly, the applicator is urged towards the cavity of the container to collect a quantity of cosmetic substance.
Claims17
An applicator system for containing and dispensing a cosmetic substance, the system comprising:
- a container defining a cavity containing a cosmetic substance and including an open first end, an extension portion, and a base portion removably coupled with the extension portion;
- a dispensing mechanism operably coupled with the first end of the container, the dispensing mechanism including an elongated body and an actuator assembly operably coupled therewith, the elongated body having a first end and a second end;
- an applicator operably coupled with the actuator assembly and being positioned at or near the first end of the elongated body and the first end of the container;
- wherein upon engaging the actuator assembly, the applicator is urged towards the cavity of the container to collect a quantity of cosmetic substance,
- the applicator configured to be positioned within the extension portion of the container when the base portion of the container is decoupled from the extension portion.
A dispensing mechanism for an applicator system containing a cosmetic substance, the dispensing mechanism comprising:
- an elongated shell having a first end and a second end, the first end including a throughbore and a lower surface;
- an actuator assembly at least partially disposed within the elongated shell, the actuator assembly including a button and a piston member operably coupled with the button, the piston member including a rod and a piston head having an applicator coupling mechanism, the rod disposed through the throughbore of the first end of the elongated shell and the piston head configured to be positioned against the lower surface of the first end of the elongated shell;
- and
- an applicator including a base and a compressible member operably coupled therewith, the base including a piston member coupling mechanism to operably couple with the applicator coupling mechanism of the piston member.
