Patent number: 9420869Abstract: A refillable lipstick is provided. In one implementation, a high-quality permanent lipstick dispenser incorporates a magnetic catch that enables replacement of the lipstick within the dispenser. Lipstick refills may be installed and removed from the dispenser with a refill cap that has an extraction lever. The refill cap may be made decorative. In one implementation, the refill cap and extraction lever make and break an attachment between a magnetic cup provided with the lipstick and the magnetic catch inside the permanent decorative dispenser. In an implementation, a swivel-up dispenser extends and retracts the lipstick. At extension, the user can twist a derailer, which then provides an additional groove for further extending and raising the lipstick from the dispenser for removal by the refill cap. A working cap is provided to cap the lipstick between refills.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2011Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Inventors: Kuo Yu Huang, Zoilo Luis Alviar

Patent number: 9386840Abstract: Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide dispensing and/or application of product from a reservoir of an applicator device or dispenser. A feeder device disposed within the reservoir expels the product from the reservoir when the feeder device is advanced from a first position to a second position within the reservoir. An applicator may be coupled to the reservoir to apply product expelled from the reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2011Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Inventors: Kuo Yu Huang, Zoilo Luis Alviar

Patent number: 8550738Abstract: A dispenser includes a flow-through gasket and a lower valve having a reservoir for containing a product. The flow-through gasket has at least aperture to provide a product delivery passage when the dispenser is selectively rotatable along a helical guide slot to a raised position. When the dispenser is selectively rotatable along the helical guide slot to a retracted position, the dispenser is in a stored state. In some examples, the flow-through gasket may be made of a material having elastomeric properties.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2008Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: HCT Asia LtdInventors: Timothy Thorpe, Luis Alviar

Patent number: 8534948Abstract: A dispenser includes a cam path and a mating guide pin to provide a closed position or an open position for the dispenser. The dispenser is selectively rotatable causing the mating guide pin to travel along a cam path to rotate between slanted, unslanted, and slanted downward positions. The mating guide pin in the cam path causes the open position to allow product delivery and causes the closed position to provide a seal to prevent product leakage. In an implementation, the dispenser is selectively guidable along a helical guide slot to an upward position for product application and to a downward position to retract the applicator. When the dispenser is selectively rotatable along the helical guide slot to a retracted position, the dispenser is in a stored state.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2009Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: HCT Asia LtdInventors: Timothy Thorpe, Luis Alviar

Patent number: 8286648Abstract: Described herein are containers having a bottom portion, a bottom sifter, a dial sifter, and a removable cover having pins. A bottom sifter and a dial sifter are rotatably engaged, and both have at least one sifting hole for sifting materials with a powder-like consistency. Either the surface of the bottom sifter facing the dial sifter or the surface of the dial sifter facing the bottom sifter may have at least one raised portion, and the remaining surface may have at least one recessed depression. The dial sifter may have one or more cavities to engage the pins in the cover, thereby rotating the dial with the rotation of the cover. The dial sifter may be a bottom fill sifter.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2011Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: HCT Asia Ltd.Inventors: Timothy Thorpe, Luis Alviar

Patent number: 8047214Abstract: A dispenser includes a housing having a reservoir for containing a product. The dispenser includes a flow-through gasket with a concave shape top having a plurality of apertures. The dispenser provides a product delivery passageway through the flow-through gasket when the dispenser is in an open position. The dispenser prevents leakage by providing a seal with the flow-through gasket when the dispenser is in a closed position. In some examples, the flow-through gasket with the concave shape top may be made of a material having elastomeric properties.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2008Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: HCT Asia LtdInventors: Timothy Thorpe, Luis Alviar

Patent number: 8025067Abstract: A sifting apparatus and container for storing and dispensing material, such as cosmetic powder are described. Two sifters are arranged so their holes are not aligned, and a resilient material is placed between the sifters to create a gap that allows powder to pass out from a storage cavity to a surface accessible by the user. In a second configuration, at least one of the sifters is displaced toward the other sifter to reduce or eliminate the gap, thus reducing or preventing the flow of material through the sifters.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2008Date of Patent: September 27, 2011Assignee: HCT Asia, LtdInventors: Timothy Thorpe, Luis Alviar

Publication number: 20100119287Abstract: A dispenser includes a flow-through compressible gasket and housing having a reservoir for containing a product. The flow-through compressible gasket has a at least one aperture to provide a product delivery passage when the dispenser is in an open position and to prevent leakage when the dispenser is in a closed position. In some examples, the flow-through compressible gasket may be made of a material having elastomeric properties. Thus, the compressible flow-through compressible gasket provides a seal for the dispenser.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2008Publication date: May 13, 2010Applicant: HCT Asia, Ltd.Inventors: Timothy Thorpe, Luis Alviar
