Abstract
A cosmetic container includes a threaded rod, a sleeve, a nut, a ratcheted wheel, a shell, a lining and a button. The nut is connected to the sleeve and inserted in the shell so that they are not allowed to translate or rotate relative to one other. The threaded rod is engaged with the nut. The shell is connected to the sleeve so that they are not allowed to translate or rotate relative to each other. The ratcheted wheel is movably inserted in the shell. The lining is inserted in the shell so that they are not allowed to translate or rotate relative to each other. The button is partially inserted in the lining so that they are not rotatable but translatable relative to each other. Every time the button is pushed, a cosmetic product is extended from the sleeve by the threaded rod.
Claims15
A cosmetic container comprising:
- a shell formed with an internal face;
- stationary ratchets attached to the internal face of the shell;
- a sleeve non-movably connected to the shell;
- a nut non-movably inserted in the shell;
- a non-circular threaded rod engaged with the nut;
- a ratcheted wheel movable in the shell and comprising:
- a non-circular aperture for receiving the non-circular threaded rod so that the ratcheted wheel is not rotatable but translatable relative to the non-circular threaded rod;
- and
- ratchets engageable with the stationary ratchets;
- and
- a button comprising a tube not rotatable but translatable in the shell and teeth formed at an end of the tube and engaged with the ratchets of the ratcheted wheel, wherein every time the button is pushed, the teeth push and disengage the ratchets of the ratcheted wheel from the stationary ratchets to allow the teeth of the ratcheted wheel to slide on the teeth so that the ratcheted wheel is translated and rotated in the shell, thereby rotating and translating the non-circular threaded rod relative to the nut to extend a cosmetic product from the sleeve.
