  • Publication number: 20120018331
    Abstract: An enclosure (1) for a lipstick comprising at least two enclosure parts (2, 3), the two enclosure parts (2, 3) are rotated relatively to one another and at least one of the at least two enclosure parts (2, 3) comprises an opening (4) and a closing mechanism, comprising two lids (5, 6) by which the opening (4) in one of the at least two enclosure parts (2, 3) is closed and a tubular element (8), which rotates relatively to one of the enclosure parts (2, 3), when the enclosure parts (2, 3) are rotated in relation to one another, each of the two lids (5, 6) and the tubular element (8) comprise means, which move the two lids (5, 6) when the tubular element (8) is rotated, so the lids (5, 6) close or open the opening (4) and the means of the tubular element (8), interacting with one of the two lids (5, 6) and the means of the tubular element (8), interacting with the other of the two lids (5, 6) are arranged on two different circular paths on the tubular element (8).

  • Patent number: 7438549
    Abstract: The invention relates to a compound storage unit (1) for a molding process, in particular for producing lipsticks comprising a container (2) for moldable compounds, wherein said container consists of a housing (3), a heating device (4) which heats the moldable compounds and disposed in the housing (3) of the container (2), a mixing device (5) for mixing the heated compounds in the container (2), a dispenser device (6) for extracting the compounds from the container (2), a fixing device (7) for removably fixing the container (2)to a molding device (20) for molding the compounds and a corresponding molding device 20) for molding compounds by means of a mould, a corresponding molding system and a transport carriage (30). The aim of the invention is to develop a storage unit and a molding device which make it possible to substantially reduce the standstill time of the molding device for exchanging the moldable compound.
