Abstract
An integral nail polish stirring system includes an integral nail polish stirring cap that with a cap button that when pressed causes a stirring shaft to rotate within the nail polish to stir the nail polish. The cap button has a helical drive shaft extending down into a cap cavity and through a drive platform aperture in a rotating drive platform that rotates the rotating drive platform when the cap button is pressed. The stirring shaft extends from the rotating drive platform opposite the cap button. A spring in the actuation chamber between the cap button and the rotating drive platform returns the cap button to a ready position. The stirring shaft may have a mixing paddle, or an applicator configured thereon. The integral nail polish stirring cap may be interchanged between nail polish containers.
Claims16
An integral nail polish stirring system comprising:
- a) a nail polish container comprising:
- i) a reservoir;
- ii) a container open end;
- b) a nail polish solution configured within the reservoir of the nail polish container and comprising:
- i) a first component;
- ii) a second component;
- c) an integral nail polish stirring cap removably configured over the container open end, the integral nail polish stirring cap comprising:
- i) a cap body forming a cap cavity;
- ii) a rotating drive platform configured within the cap cavity, the rotating drive platform comprising a drive platform aperture;
- iii) a cap button;
- iv) a helical drive shaft connected to the cap button and extending through the drive platform aperture, wherein the helical drive shaft extends along a drive axis;
- wherein the cap button is configured to actuate to rotate the rotating drive platform;
- d) a stirring shaft connected to the rotating drive platform an offset distance from said drive axis and extending-to an extended end configured within the nail polish within the nail polish container;
- wherein the stirring shaft rotates with the helical drive platform in a circle about said drive axis;
- wherein the stirring shaft comprises an applicator tip comprising an applicator brush on the extended end of the stirring shaft forming an applicator for application of nail polish solution to a person's nail;
- wherein the helical drive shaft is configured to rotate the rotating drive platform when the cap button is actuated toward the rotating drive platform, wherein the helical drive shaft rotates the rotating drive platform and wherein the rotating drive platform moves the stirring shaft in a circular motion about the drive axis to mix the nail polish solution.
