  • Patent number: 11937682
    Abstract: A refillable dispenser for receiving consumable pods, such as deodorant pods and lipstick pods, that are gradually consumed during use, is provided. The refillable dispenser includes a base container, a pod housing for receiving the pod which is vertically displaceable within the base container, and a dispensing mechanism for moving the pod housing relative to the base container between an uppermost and a lowermost configuration. Lowering the pod housing in the base container causes an upper portion of the pod to extend through an opened top defined by the pod housing. In the uppermost configuration, a new pod introduced within the pod housing will have its upper portion extending through the opened top of the pod housing and will be dispensable therefrom, while in the lowermost configuration, an almost fully dispensed pod can be removed from the pod housing, or alternatively, the pod can be fully dispensed.

As the mechanism turns, the lift rises, pressing the reservoir against the bottom of the lips, forcing small amounts of gloss through a hole and onto the front of the lips. Micro-fissures in the lips evenly spread the gloss.

  • Patent number: 8747006
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to a flat box finisher for applying mud (or mastic or joint compound) over taped joints on walls and ceilings. Usually, paint or wallpaper is then applied over the finished mud. The flat box finisher has no external springs, but has at least one internal support bar which acts as a spring for applying pressure to a corresponding dry wall finishing handle affixed to the flat box finisher. The internal support bar is surrounded by the mud while the device is in use. As a result of having no external spring, the flat box finisher may be reduced in size for smaller jobs or difficult to reach areas of a room. The internal support bar may also eliminate problems with external springs, such as the spring wearing out or becoming damaged during use or storage.
