Claims11
A cosmetic dispenser for applying a cosmetic product to a surface, the dispenser comprising:
- a body having a reservoir holding the cosmetic product, the body having a first magnetic retention mechanism portion with a first magnetic pole;
- a head removably coupled to the body, the head comprising:
- an applicator disposed in the head;
- and
- a second magnetic retention mechanism portion with a second magnetic pole, the first and second magnetic poles being rotatable relative to each other to induce an attraction and a repulsion between the first and second magnetic poles, removably coupling the second magnetic retention mechanism to the first magnetic retention mechanism portion, and thereby removably coupling the head to the body;
- multiple pipes defining a delivery passageway, wherein the multiple pipes extend through at least a portion of the applicator and are configured to deliver the cosmetic product from the reservoir to the surface.

A cosmetic dispenser comprising:
- a body having a reservoir containing a cosmetic product;
- a head removably coupled to the body;
- a brush disposed in the head for application of the cosmetic product to a surface;
- multiple pipes forming a delivery passageway configured to deliver the cosmetic product from the reservoir to the surface, wherein the multiple pipes extend through at least a portion of the brush;
- an electromagnetic retention mechanism located on the body;
- and
- a ferromagnetic member located on the head, wherein the electromagnetic retention mechanism located on the body attracts the ferromagnetic member to removably couple the head to the body when the electromagnetic retention mechanism is actuated.
4 more elements
A cosmetic dispenser for applying a cosmetic product to a surface, the dispenser comprising:
- a body having a reservoir for holding the cosmetic product, the body having a first retention mechanism portion;
- a head removably coupled to the body, the head comprising:
- an applicator disposed in the head;
- a second retention mechanism portion removably coupled to the first retention mechanism portion, thereby removably coupling the head to the body, wherein actuation of the first or second retention mechanism slightly deforms the body, disengaging the first retention mechanism from the second retention mechanism;
- and
- multiple pipes defining a delivery passageway, wherein the multiple pipes extend through at least a portion of the applicator and are configured to deliver the cosmetic product from the reservoir to the surface.
