  • Patent number: 6558061
    Abstract: A dispenser includes a brush fixed to a powder reservoir having a tuft of hair and a tuft holder provided with a first powder supply orifice. The reservoir is closed by a shutter in which a second powder supply orifice is formed, and that can be turned manually with respect to the tuft holder to align the first and second orifices. The shutter of the reservoir includes a central duct with a bottom in which the second orifice is formed. The tuft holder has a lower tubular part with a bottom wherein the said first orifice cooperates with the central duct to provide axial securement and free rotation, an upper tubular part fitting tightly around the said tuft and a said first skirt. The dispenser includes a guide that has an axial displacement tab, the lower end of which supports a radial pin, and the central duct carries a helical ramp on its outer surface that cooperates with the pin such that rotation of the guide causes an axial movement of the guide.

  • Patent number: 6345627
    Abstract: A cosmetic case tray is translationally mounted within the case base. Engageable clasp members are respectively mounted to the lid and the tray for releasably securing the lid and base together. A push button is located at a front end of the case and is mounted to the tray for displacing the tray rearwardly within the base upon actuation of the push button in a rearward direction. A horizontally extending member is mounted to a rear end of the tray for horizontally transferring rearwardly exerted force from the push button, to an internal surface of the lid, thereby pushing the lid sufficiently open to hingedly separate the lid and base thereby exposing a cosmetic product.
