Abstract
A device for the purpose of applying cosmetic product which can be made to shear cosmetic product held within its chamber prior to loading a portion of cosmetic product evenly onto the applicator head by way of separating the detachable container from the handle. After separation, the direction of the rotation motion is chosen and the device is activated. Once activated, the drive mechanism converts rotation motion into a reciprocating rotation motion thereby enabling the applicator head to simultaneously travel back and forth and rotate for purposes of applying cosmetic product. The applicator head via transfer vibration can be vibrated along or in conjunction with the reciprocation rotating motion for purposes of apply cosmetic product.
Claims19
An applicator for applying cosmetic product, the applicator comprising:
- a handle;
- a battery compartment in said handle wherein a battery power source having at least one battery is confined;
- a first switching means disposed in said handle between said battery power source and a DC motor whereby said first switching means selectively electrically controls the direction of current flow, so that said DC motor selectively turns normally, reversely or not at all;
- said DC motor having a rotatable motor shaft;
- said battery power source powers the rotation of said rotatable motor shaft on which is carried a mating male spline gear;
- a mating female slidable oblong multipurpose component having therein a closed end, an embedded looping cam groove track and a series of narrow keys having a series of corresponding grooves slidably connected to said mating male spline gear;
- a rotatable shaft having a first end and a second end, wherein said first end is centrally affixed to said closed end of said mating female slidable oblong multipurpose component;
- an applicator head connectable to said second end of said rotatable shaft;
- at least one bushing freely supporting said rotatable shaft;
- a profile formed by the shape of said embedded looping cam groove track;
- a stationary cam follower having a first end engaged with said embedded looping cam groove track of said mating female slidable oblong multipurpose component;
- a drive mechanism wherein said DC motor rotates said rotatable motor shaft and said mating male spline gear that is carried on said rotatable motor shaft in the same direction thereby transmitting said rotation to said mating female slidable oblong multipurpose component by way of the slidably connected said series of narrow keys of said mating male spline gear with said series of corresponding grooves of said mating female slidable oblong multipurpose component thereby enabling said stationary cam follower that is engaged with said embedded looping cam groove track of said mating female slidable oblong multipurpose component to begin to continuously dictate said embedded looping cam groove track profile to said mating female slidable oblong multipurpose component thereby causing said female slidable oblong multipurpose component and the centrally affixed said rotatable shaft which is freely supported by said bushing to reciprocate while being rotated;
- an open drive mechanism compartment in said handle housing several components of said drive mechanism;
- a reciprocating cycle wherein for every revolution of said rotatable motor shaft by said DC motor said applicator head simultaneously revolved once in the same rotational direction of said rotatable motor shaft and traveled at least once backward and at least once forward;
- and
- a detachable container comprising a matched outer helical ridge;
- a chamber having an opening and a surface stripper having an opening wherein said first opening is disposed on one end of said detachable container, said first opening communicating with said second opening within said first opening of said chamber wherein as said applicator head is removed from said detachable container said applicator head first passes through said opening of said surface stripper where said applicator head brushes or rubs against the wall of said opening thereby removing and distributing a cosmetic product evenly upon said applicator head and then passes through said opening of said chamber.
