Abstract: The present invention generally is a container for storing cosmetic or care products. More particularly, the invention relates to a cosmetic container comprising a receptacle and a cover wherein the cover comprises an integrated applicator wherein the applicator is retractable within the cover. There is provided a cosmetic container comprising a receptacle, said receptacle comprising a housing for storing a product; a cover, said cover comprising a housing that accommodates an applicator and a protrusion retraction mechanism assembly for operating the applicator such that the applicator is integrated within the cover; and an actuating means for actuating the operation of the protrusion retraction mechanism assembly.

Abstract: An adjustable applicator employed for application of a cosmetic or a care product such as for application of mascara, coloring strands of hair, for dental flossing or for applying pharmaceuticals or cleaning agents is provided. In one embodiment, an adjustable applicator includes an applicator element having a bore, a filament wherein the filament is housed inside the bore of the applicator element and a clasping means wherein the applicator element angularly deforms when a force is applied on the clasping means such that the angular deformation occurs on the radial axis of the applicator element. Also disclosed is a device for packaging and dispensing a substance that includes an adjustable applicator.

Abstract: An applicator assembly and in particular, relates to an adjustable applicator capable of being adjusted to retain variable quantities of a product is provided. Also disclosed is a container comprising an applicator assembly for storing and application of consumer products such as cosmetic, hair care or dental products. The applicator assembly is configured to comprise at least two applicator heads, wherein the applicator heads are arranged to be movable relative to each other thereby resulting in change in density of the bristles of the applicator assembly.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a dispensing mechanism assembly. In one embodiment, the dispensing mechanism assembly comprises a delivery screw, said delivery screw having at least one sidewall, said sidewall having a plurality of extensions extending along the longitudinal axis of the sidewall, a piston, a piston rod, said piston rod having a profile on its outer periphery to engage with the delivery screw; and an actuating means, said actuating means having a profile on its inner periphery to engage with the plurality of extensions on the delivery screw wherein the delivery screw having a novel structure allows the screw to perform dual function of a conventional screw and of an acoustic generating part. The delivery screw's novel structure reduces the number of parts required in the assembly and thereby lowers the manufacturing costs while providing a soft but firm sound during operation.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to containers for powder products. The present invention described herein relates to a container capable of generating powder in loose form.

Abstract: The present invention generally is a container for storing cosmetic or care products.

There is provided a cosmetic container comprising a receptacle, said receptacle comprising a housing for storing a product; a cover, said cover comprising a housing that accommodates an applicator and a protrusion retraction mechanism assembly for operating the applicator such that the applicator is integrated within the cover; and an actuating means for actuating the operation of the protrusion retraction mechanism assembly.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a delivery system for dispensing product(s). More particularly, the present invention relates to a delivery system for dispensing product wherein the system has a dispensing mechanism that prevents oozing out of the product after dispensing occurs. The delivery system comprises a body having at least one cavity for housing the product(s) and a plunger or a piston and rod assembly and a means for actuating the piston assembly wherein the piston assembly has a mechanism of dispensing which has an effective suck back effect.

Abstract: The present invention generally is a delivery system for dispensing product(s) in adjustable quantities comprising a body, said body having at least one cavity for housing the product(s) and a plunger or a piston and rod assembly, an actuator being in communication with the cavity in the body, said actuator having an inclined profile at one of its ends which is in communication with the body, and a means for changing the position of the incline of the actuator with respect to the body wherein changing the position of the inclined profile of the actuator with respect to the body delivers different quantities of the product(s).

Abstract: The present invention generally is a dispensing device for consumer products which is user-friendly and provides an easy application by the user. The device allows a user to simultaneously actuate while applying. The disclosed device provides for controllable dispensing of the product and is user friendly as it is one-hand operated. There is provided a device that provides an even application on the surface as there is present a shearing assembly inside it. The device of the present invention can be used to dispense a wide variety of consumer products such as cosmetic, cosmeceutical and care products such as nail enamel, foundation, hair treatment or skin care products.

Abstract: The present invention generally is a shearing assembly for a fluid material comprising a product inlet flow component, a shearing component, and a housing, said housing arranged to be in fluid communication with the product inlet flow component. The shearing component is enclosed in the housing such that the fluid is sheared when it flows via the shearing component while the flow of fluid is sealed when the shearing component is under the action of a force. Also disclosed is a device comprising said shearing assembly.

Abstract: The present invention generally is a shearing assembly for a viscous product comprising a product inlet flow component, a shearing component, and a housing, said housing arranged to be mounted on the product inlet flow component. The shearing component is enclosed in the housing such that the viscous product is sheared when it flows via the shearing component while the flow of the product is sealed when the shearing component is under the action of a force. Also disclosed is a device comprising said shearing assembly.

Abstract: A system for two consumer products, such as cosmetic products, pharmaceutical products, personal hygiene products and adhesive products, among others, is provided. The system provides for convenience in holding, storing and applying stick products and uses two different mechanisms independent of each other to control the two stick products.

Abstract: The present invention generally is a delivery system for simultaneously dispensing two products in metered quantities and in a predetermined ratio. In one embodiment the delivery system includes a barrel, said barrel accommodating a cartridge that forms the first chamber and the resulting free space forms the second chamber; a means for actuating the movement of the components; and an applicator head for applying the dispensed products. The two chambers in the delivery system are arranged in series so as to be in axial alignment with each other. The delivery system according to the present invention could be used for dispensing of cosmetic, skin care, hair care, oral care, personal care, pharmaceutical, wound care, orally administrable products, home-care or adhesives.
