  • Patent number: 9801460
    Abstract: A retractable cosmetic implement may be movable between multiple different use positions. In one example, the cosmetic implement may include a housing elongated along a longitudinal axis, a multi-stop positioning mechanism disposed within the housing, an applicator coupled to the positioning mechanism at a first end of the housing, and a push-button for engaging the positioning mechanism, the push-button disposed at a second end of the housing. By actuating the positioning mechanism, the applicator may move through an opening to a partially extended position and/or a fully extended position from a retracted position. The applicator may have a material characteristic, such as a density of bristles, affected by its position relative to a rim of the opening applying a force against the applicator.

  • Patent number: 9427072
    Abstract: An applicator system for applying a product includes a handle (e.g., housing) and at least a first applicator and a second applicator. A mechanism, such as a pivot mechanism or a slide mechanism, enables the first applicator and the second applicator to be placed in at least two different positions. In a first position, the first applicator may be aligned with (e.g., adjacent to) the second applicator to define a continuous applicator perimeter that is longer than either the perimeter of the first applicator or the perimeter of the second applicator. In a second position, the first applicator may be positioned at an opposite end of the split-tip applicator relative to the second applicator.
