  • Patent number: 11510480
    Abstract: A device for applying a cosmetic product. The device includes a handling cap for holding, moving and maneuvering the device. The device also includes a rod portion having a first end associated with the handling cap and a second end section having a second end portion that terminates the device. The device further includes an application portion extending along a main axis and having a support member with two ends and radial application members. The application portion is hingedly mounted in an articulation zone by, for example, a rack and toothed wheel on a second end portion of the rod portion and about a pivot axis. The application portion can thereby be pivoted between a centered position and an inclined position. The articulation zone, rack and toothed wheel and the pivot axis may be spaced apart in a median section of the support member.

  • Patent number: 10413035
    Abstract: A casing for a cosmetic article has a base having an inner surface which accommodates a mirror. A lid is rotatably and directly mounted to the base, the lid being rotatable, relative to the base, between a closed position and an opened position. An intermediate tray is located between the base and the lid for accommodating the cosmetic article and covering the whole base, the intermediate tray being slidably mounted to the base so as to be movable relative to the base between a retracted position, in which the intermediate tray substantially covers the inner surface of the base, and an extended position, in which the intermediate tray exposes the inner surface of the base. The intermediate tray being further rotatably or slidably mounted to the lid so as to be movable relative to the lid. Rotation of the lid from the closed position to the open position causes the tray to slide from the retracted position to the extended position.
