Abstract
A personal care product applicator with a hollow body, a cap, a base, and a lift. The cap is configured to couple with a top end of the body. The base is rotatably coupled to a bottom end of the body and has a top surface with a first anchor. The lift is positioned within the body and has a threaded outer surface that is configured to engage with a threaded inner surface of the body. The lift also has a bottom surface with a second anchor. The lift is rotatably fixed to the base through a spring attached to the first anchor and the second anchor. When the base is rotated in a first direction, the body raises the lift with respect to the body and when the base is rotated in a second direction, the body lowers the lift with respect to the body.
Claims18
An applicator comprising:
- a hollow, cylindrical body extending between a top end and a bottom end, the body having a threaded inner surface, wherein an interior volume of the body is configured to hold a meltable solid;
- a cap configured to slidably couple with the top end of the body and enclose the interior volume;
- a base rotatably coupled to the bottom end of the body, the base having a top surface with a first anchor extending up from the top surface and a plurality of clips extending up from the top surface surrounding the first anchor, wherein the first anchor is configured to provide a secure attachment point to the base and the plurality of clips are configured to engage with the bottom end of the body to rotatably couple the base to the body;
- and
- a lift positioned within the body, the lift having a threaded outer surface configured to engage with the threaded inner surface of the body, the lift further having a bottom surface with a second anchor extending down from the bottom surface and configured to provide a secure attachment point to the lift, wherein the lift is rotatably fixed to the base through a spring with a first end of the spring attached to the first anchor and a second end of the spring attached to the second anchor, and wherein when the base is rotated with respect to the body, the lift rotates with the base;
- wherein, when the base is rotated in a first direction, the threaded outer surface of the lift engages with the threaded inner surface of the body to raise the lift with respect to the body and when the base is rotated in a second direction opposite the first direction, the threaded outer surface of the lift engages with the threaded inner surface of the body to lower the lift with respect to the body.
