Publication number: 20120251221Abstract: An improved applicator comprises a reservoir member receiving a piston within a cavity therein, the piston being threadably actuated by a drive member that seals on the reservoir member in a rotatable relation. The piston selectively engages the reservoir member in a calibrated friction fit therebetween to ensure that the engagement is sufficient to squeegee a semi-liquid or semi-solid product contained within the reservoir cavity. Selective engagement also comprises piston anti-rotation being provided by an engaging portion of the piston comprising a shape having an elliptical cross-section that may be received within an interior surface of the reservoir member having a corresponding elliptical cross-section. Anti-rotation may alternatively be provided by an engaging portion of the piston comprising a generally cylindrical shape interrupted by a flat portion thereon, which may be received within an interior surface of the reservoir member having a corresponding cylindrical shape with a flat section.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2012Publication date: October 4, 2012Inventors: Diane C.

Patent number: 7210870Abstract: An applicator for dispensing a product that flows under pressure. The applicator has an exterior top surface, an exterior sidewall, and a base. The applicator has a chamber which constitutes a reservoir for holding the product to be dispensed. The reservoir has a top wall, a bottom wall and a side wall. The applicator has an orifice for dispensing product, and the orifice connects the top surface to the top wall. The chamber has a disk capable of traveling through the chamber forcing product through the orifice as it travels through the chamber. The disk has a product contact surface that contacts a major portion of the top surface when the travel of the disk is complete so that product remaining in the chamber is minimized.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2002Date of Patent: May 1, 2007Assignee: Cosmetic Concepts, Inc.Inventors: Diane C.
