Abstract
A cosmetic loose powder dispenser for loading loose facial powder onto a retractable cosmetic brush. The dispenser includes three compartments: the first compartment houses the retractable cosmetic brush; the second compartment is the cap for the cosmetic brush and contains small holes in the closed end of the cap for dispensing loose powder; and the third compartment, also cap-like, serves as a reservoir for storage of loose powder. When all three compartments are joined together, the small holes in the closed end of the brush cap, in conjunction with the natural agitation encountered by the dispenser, such as when transported in a pocket or purse, allow an appropriate amount of loose powder to be loaded on the brush tips for a quick touch up by the user in a less messy and more convenient manner.
Claims3
A cosmetic loose powder dispenser comprising:
- a first compartment containing a cosmetic brush, having natural or synthetic bristles, and said cosmetic brush is retractable;
- and a second compartment which is the cap for said first compartment and the closed end of said cap contains small holes allowing for dispensing of loose powder;
- and a third compartment, a cap-like reservoir for storage of loose powder, which fits onto the aforementioned closed end of the brush cap of said second compartment, and means for attaching said powder reservoir can be fixed, friction-gripped, or threaded onto the brush cap, and when said powder reservoir is attached to the brush cap by being threaded or friction-gripped, said powder reservoir is refillable;
- and when the three compartments are joined together in a unitary structure, such that the brush tips in said first compartment are in close proximity to the small holes in the closed end of the brush cap in said second compartment, so that the holes working together with the natural agitation encountered by said dispenser, such as in a pocket or purse, permit an appropriate amount of loose powder, stored in said third compartment, to be loaded on the brush tips, whereby user by manually pulling apart the brush compartment from the now combined second and third compartments and by releasing the retracted brush to full extension, similar to opening and accessing a tube of lipstick, can quickly and easily apply the powder loaded on the brush tips.
The cosmetic dispenser of simple design will require no complex mechanism for dispensing loose powder onto the brush tips, will be inexpensive and easy to fabricate, and will provide a means for quick touch ups by users of loose powder in a less messy and more convenient manner.
The cosmetic dispenser could be tube-shaped and made of metal, plastic, or a combination of metal and plastic.
