Abstract
A self-contained portable liquid cosmetic delivery system for both color makeup and skin care applications is provided. The system includes a spray nozzle assembly having both a liquid path and air path communicates with the housing containing a peristaltic and diaphragm pumping systems. A removable cartridge assembly that allows for very quick changing of cosmetic, while also including a cartridge housing that not only configured to enable the use of a peristaltic pump and diaphragm pump to selectively dispense liquid cosmetic contained in the cartridge housing, it can be manufactured at a reduced cost thus making the same easily cleanable and essentially disposable.
Claims15
A hand held self contained airbrush system comprising:
- a housing;
- a liquid cartridge assembly contained within the housing said liquid cartridge assembly comprises:
- a liquid reservoir pouch and
- a flow check valve assembly for preventing liquid contained in the pouch from drying when not in use, wherein the flow check valve assembly further comprises:
- a valve outer cover having one end in permanent connection with the liquid reservoir pouch and an upper end;
- a ball bearing positioned in contact with the upper end of the valve outer cover;
- a spring 36 having one end in contact with the ball bearing and an opposing end;
- and
- an inner surface housing retaining said ball bearing and spring in positioned against said valve outer cover;
- said spring and said ball bearing cooperating to provide an air-tight seal to the reservoir pouch when not connected to the housing;
- a diaphragm pump configured to generate air and being in communication with the housing to provide air into a nozzle spraying chamber;
- and
- a spray nozzle assembly configured to attach to the nozzle spraying chamber, the spray nozzle assembly having a liquid path centrally disposed there through, and an air passage way configured annularly around the liquid path such that the liquid and air meet at a tip of a spray nozzle assembly.
