Abstract: A coin-operated dispenser is disclosed for spraying a liquid cosmetic in a controlled manner. It has the features of a coin-operated, public vending machine, but instead of delivering a pack of cigarette or candies, it delivers a liquid cosmetic under pressurized air through a spray gun which has a trigger. The spray gun is mounted at the end of a flexible tube. A push-button on the machine enables the selection of a desired one of many liquid cosmetic products. A push button switch on the spray gun permits a user to manually control the flow of sprayed cosmetics. A timer limits the time period for each spraying, when the preset coin amount has been introduced in the machine and a display indicates to the user the time remaining for dispensing the product. Accordingly, the user knows precisely how much time is remaining after he releases the trigger, thus permitting sharing of the product by more than one person.
