Tilt action pump

A device for dispensing a cosmetic product, the device comprising:

• a container configured to hold a volume of cosmetic product;
• and
• a cosmetic dispensing system coupled to an open upper end of the container and comprising:
• a pump assembly disposed within an open upper end of the container;
• a driver connected to the pump assembly;
• an actuator connected to the driver;
• and
• a tip connected to the actuator and having an outlet for dispensing cosmetic product, the tip defining a curved upper surface of the device;
• wherein the tip is configured to be tilted relative to the container to deliver a portion of the volume of cosmetic product to the outlet, wherein the tip is pivotably connected to the actuator on a first side of the tip, and a bottom surface of the tip is separated from an upper surface of the actuator by a space on a second side of the tip, wherein the first and second sides are opposite each other;
• wherein the driver includes an elongated member extending into the space, wherein an upper end of the elongated member contacts the bottom surface of the tip;
• wherein manually tilting the tip moves the bottom surface of the tip through the space towards the upper surface of the actuator, the bottom surface of the tip applying a downward force on the elongated member, which applies a downward force on the pump assembly, thereby activating the pump assembly, and expelling the portion of cosmetic product from the outlet.

A device for dispensing a cosmetic product, the device comprising:

• a container configured to hold a volume of cosmetic product;
• and
• a cosmetic dispensing system coupled to an open upper end of the container and comprising:
• a collar connected to the open upper end of the container;
• a pump assembly disposed within the collar;
• and
• a tip connected to the collar and pump assembly, the tip having an outlet for dispensing cosmetic product, the tip defining a curved upper surface of the device, the tip having a first side and a second side opposite the first side;
• wherein the tip is configured to be moved from a rest position to a tilted position relative to the container to actuate the pump assembly and deliver a portion of the volume of cosmetic product to the outlet, wherein the tip is pivotably connected to the collar on the first side of the tip, and a lower edge of the tip is spaced apart from an upper edge of the collar by a gap on the second side of the tip;
• wherein the pump assembly includes an upper portion extending across the gap when the tip is in the rest position;
• wherein manually tilting the tip moves the lower edge of the tip across the gap towards the upper edge of the collar, the tip applying a downward force on the upper portion of the pump assembly, thereby activating the pump assembly, and expelling a portion of cosmetic product from the outlet.
