  • Patent number: 11484108
    Abstract: A care instrument arranges a storage container and a peristaltic pump, with the storage container accommodating the care product, the peristaltic pump being configured to draw the care product from the storage container and deliver the care product to a surface of a housing. In this way, a user can apply care products while using the care instrument. By controlling the peristaltic pump by the control component, the care product is delivered to the surface of the housing in a timed and quantitative manner for precise and accurate delivery of the care product. The massaging component and the peristaltic pump can operate independently. When only the massaging component works independently, the care instrument functions in massaging, and when the massaging component and the peristaltic pump work together, the care product delivered to the surface of the housing may be further uniformly dispersed by the massaging component.

  • Patent number: 11464317
    Abstract: An applicator device includes a top and a bottom layer of a flexible material tightly connected at their borders. An edge constitutes a grip zone to handle the applicator. Parallel weakening lines in each layer define an application section and closely surround a pad of a material capable to retain an agent or an elevation constituting a confinement structure for an agent. The superposition of weakening line and border of agent carrying material or the elevation constituting a part of the confinement structure avoids a contact of the flexible material with the surface to be treated as the carrying material layer or the confinement structure serve as a spacer. As a consequence, the applicator is suited to be used on highly sensitive surfaces like skin or mucosa.

  • Patent number: 11457718
    Abstract: A rotating cosmetic applicator system features a unique rod/wiper relationship that causes the rod to rotate when it passes through the wiper. The applicator head rotates in one direction when the user inserts the applicator through the wiper, and in the opposite direction when the user removes the applicator through the wiper. The result is a more even loading of product onto the applicator head than with a conventional mascara system. A more even load of product on the brush will support a more consistent experience for the user.
