Abstract: A bottle/cap assembly with sweep-and-drain action includes a bottle, a cap and a sweep-and-drain mechanism. The bottle has in series, from the bottom to the top, a closed bottom, a body sidewall, a cylindrical neck sidewall, and an open top. The cap is configured and dimensioned to be rotatably received about the neck sidewall and includes a closed cap top to close the open top and prevent egress of liquid from within the bottle. The sweep-and-drain mechanism includes (i) a circumferentially spaced plurality of vertically extending grooves or slots in the bottle extending downwardly from the open top through said neck sidewall, and (ii) a circumferentially spaced plurality of radially extending vanes or wipers projecting downwardly from the closed cap top towards the open top.

Abstract: A container is provided comprising a transparent dome shaped enclosure having a lower open end forming a cover of the container, a seal member extending across the open end for defining within the transparent dome shape enclosure a chamber for containing and displaying a product, and a lower enclosure forming a base portion of the container and having an upper open end for receiving a cosmetic related product. The dome shaped cover preferably includes a partition or dividing wall which divides the dome shaped chamber into a first and second compartment for containing and displaying at least two different products (i.e. two types of cosmetic related products).

Abstract: A container for holding a liquid product to be applied by an applicator comprising a two piece plastic body having a base section and a top section. The top section further comprises an integral shoulder and neck section. The neck section of the top section includes an integral wiper element extending radially from an inner wall of the neck section for wiping excess liquid from an applicator.

Abstract: A co-molded makeup applicator assembly includes a resilient body and a rigid handle cover. The generally elongated and unitarily molded body is formed of a resilient material. The body has a first end and a second end, at least one of the first and second ends defining an applicator for applying makeup. The handle cover is co-molded over a portion of the body and is formed of generally rigid material. The handle cover cooperates with the body to form an integral handle and applicator assembly. Preferably, the handle cover is substantially coextensive with the body between the ends thereof and defines at least one longitudinally extending slot through which a portion of the body extends to facilitate non-slip grasping of the assembly.
