Multifunctional Cosmetic Applicator
A multifunctional cosmetic applicator is an apparatus that is used to apply multiple different types of makeup. The apparatus includes a tubular body which is used to house a lip makeup dispenser and a wide makeup applicator. A second retraction mechanism is inserted in the tubular body and is used to extend or retract the wide makeup applicator in relation to the tubular body. The lip makeup dispenser provides a means of storing and applying makeup used on the lips. A first cap covers the end of the tubular body in which the lip makeup dispenser is located. A second cap is used to cover the end of the tubular body in which the wide makeup dispenser is located. A makeup container is connected to the second cap and holds makeup which may be applied using the wide makeup applicator.
The current application claims a priority to the U.S. Provisional Patent application Ser. No. 61/970,752 filed on Mar. 26, 2014.
FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates generally to cosmetics. More specifically, the present invention is a multifunctional cosmetic applicator that condenses four key makeup products into one compacted kit.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONCosmetics (colloquially known as makeup or make-up) are care substances used to enhance the appearance or odor of the human body. Often, people require multiple different cosmetics to enhance the appearance or odor of one or more features of the body. This is especially the case with cosmetics that come in different colors. While relying on multiple products may not be problematic in a home environment, it can become a hassle while on-the-go. In such situations, people are often limited in how many products they can carry at a given time.
Accordingly, there is a present need for an apparatus that combines the functions of multiple cosmetics into one tool. The present invention is the first cosmetic condensing four key makeup products in one compacted cylindrical kit. There are other inventions out there that contain lipstick and lip-gloss or pressed powder and mirror, four different brushes for eye brow or four different lip-gloss in one cylindrical detachable container. However after doing some research there is no invention currently existing with these four products in one compacted cylindrical design.
All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
With reference to
In a first embodiment of the present invention, the lip makeup dispenser 7 comprises a lipstick 8 and a first retraction mechanism 9, while the first cap 24 comprises a first base 25 and a first opening 26. The lipstick 8 is telescopically mounted into the first open end 2 by the first retraction mechanism 9. This allows the lipstick 8 to be extended during use or retracted for easy storage. The lipstick 8 is a form of makeup which is used to alter the appearance of the user's lips. In the preferred embodiment, the first cap 24 fits over the first open end 2 of the tubular body 1 such that the lipstick 8 is oriented normal to the first base 25 and is encircled by the first opening 26.
In the first embodiment, the first retraction mechanism 9 and the second retraction mechanism 17 are mechanically integrated with each other. In reference to
The first slide 13 is adjacently connected to the male threaded rod 12 and is positioned within the first section 4. The first slide 13 is connected to the lipstick 8 such that the lipstick 8 may be extended or retracted when the annular dial 10 is rotated. The first track 15 is internally connected along the first section 4 and the first slide 13 is slidably engaged to the first section 4 by the first track 15. This arrangement prevents the male threaded rod 12 from rotating, such that the male threaded rod 12 is able to move laterally when the annular dial 10 is rotated. The second slide 14 is adjacently connected to the male threaded rod 12, opposite the first slide 13 and is positioned within the second section 5. The second slide 14 is attached to the wide makeup applicator 6 such that the wide makeup applicator 6 moves with the male threaded rod 12 when the annular dial 10 is rotated. The second track 16 is internally connected along the second section 5 and the second slide 14 is slidably engaged to the second section 5 by the second track 16. This arrangement prevents the male threaded rod 12 from rotating, such that the male threaded rod 12 is able to move laterally when the annular dial 10 is rotated. In the preferred embodiment, the tubular body 1 is cylindrical in shape; however, in alternative embodiments, the tubular body 1 may be of any other shape. For shapes which are rectangular or non-circular in shape, the geometry of the tubular body 1 may act as the first track 15 and the second track 16. For example, if the tubular body 1 were rectangular in shape, the corners of the tubular body 1 would prevent the first slide 13 and the second slide 14 from rotating, but would allow the first slide 13 and second slide 14 to move laterally.
In reference to
In the alternative embodiment, the lip makeup dispenser 7 further comprises a fine makeup applicator 27. Moreover, the first cap 24 comprises the first base 25 and the first opening 26. The fine makeup applicator 27 is connected adjacent and normal to the first base 25. The fine makeup applicator 27 is used to collect lip gloss or other makeup liquids contained in the makeup receptacle 31 and apply said liquids to the user's body. The receptacle lateral portion 33 is encircled by the first opening 26. With this alignment, the fine makeup applicator 27 traverses into the first makeup receptacle 31, through the receptacle rim 32. Moreover, the first cap 24 covers the makeup receptacle 31 such that makeup is unable to spill out from the makeup receptacle 31.
In the alternative embodiment, because the makeup receptacle 31 does not need to be expanded or retracted, only the second retraction mechanism 17 is needed. In reference to
The second slide 14 is adjacently connected to the male threaded rod 12 and is positioned within the second section 5. The second slide 14 is attached to the wide makeup applicator 6 such that the wide makeup applicator 6 moves with the male threaded rod 12 when the annular dial 10 is rotated. The second track 16 is internally connected along the second section 5 and the second slide 14 is slidably engaged to the second section 5 by the second track 16. This arrangement prevents the male threaded rod 12 from rotating, such that the male threaded rod 12 is able to move laterally when the annular dial 10 is rotated.
The second cap 28 comprises a second base 29 and a second opening 30. The second cap 28 is used to cover the second open end 3 of the tubular body 1, such that no makeup present on the wide makeup applicator 6 soils any nearby objects, garments, or surfaces. The wide makeup applicator 6 traverses through the second opening 30 and into the second cap 28. The second cap 28 is attached adjacent to the tubular body 1, opposite to the first open end 2. In the preferred embodiment, the wide makeup applicator 6 is a brush; however, sponge, foam, or any other type applicator may be used in alternative embodiments.
The makeup container 18 comprises a lid 22, a mirror 23, a container rim 19, a container lateral portion 20, and a container base 21. The makeup container 18 is used to store makeup products which may be applied to the user's body via the wide makeup applicator 6. The container base 21 is perpendicularly and perimetrically connected to the container lateral portion 20. The container rim 19 is perimetrically connected to the container lateral portion 20 opposite the container base 21. The lid 22 is hingedly connected to the container rim 19. The lid 22 may be opened to access makeup inside the makeup container 18. The mirror 23 is connected across the lid 22, adjacent to the container rim 21. When the lid 22 is opened, the user is able to use the minor 23 to view the area in which makeup is being applied.
The present invention also provides a means of holding eyeliner, lip liner, or any other type of makeup pencil. In reference to
Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
