Please referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, FIG. 1 is an exploded structure view of a sealed lipstick tube in the embodiment, FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of part A of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the sealed lipstick tube.

This embodiment provides a sealed lipstick tube, including a housing base 1, a housing inner tube 2, a cartridge 3 for disposing a lipstick, a sealing sleeve 4, and a housing outer tube 5. The housing base 1, the housing inner tube 2, the cartridge 3, and the housing outer tube 5 each are tubular-shaped structures. An outer wall of the housing base 1 is provided with an annular engaging groove 11 around an axis of the housing base 1, and an inner wall of the housing inner tube 2 is provided with an annular engaging protrusion 21 around the axis of the housing base 1. The housing base 1 and the housing inner tube 2 are engaged together, by enabling the annular engaging protrusion 21 to be fitted and clamped in the annular engaging groove 11. The housing base 1 and the housing inner tube 2 are made of hard plastic material, and when the annular engaging protrusion 21 is fitted in the annular engaging groove 11, a buzzing sound is generated to remind the user to snap in place. The housing base 1 and the housing inner tube 2 cooperatively define an installation space 6, and the installation space 6 is larger than a volume of the cartridge 3. The cartridge 3 is mounted on the housing base 1 and is located in the installation space 6. The sealing sleeve 4 is fixed at the end of the housing inner tube 2 that adjacent to the annular engaging protrusion 21, and an inner wall of the sealing sleeve 4 abuts against the outer wall of the housing base 1. The sealing sleeve 4 can be fixed on, the housing inner tube 2 by means of injection molding to strengthen the firmness thereof. The housing outer tube 5 is sleeved on the outer wall of housing inner tube 2 and an outer wall of the sealing, sleeve 4 at the same time that is, the housing outer tube 5 simultaneously encapsulates the housing inner tube 2 and the sealing sleeve 4, thereby protecting the housing inner tube 2 and the sealing sleeve 4. In addition, the housing inner tube 2 and the sealing sleeve 4 can be designed as the same color, so that the appearance of the product is more neat and beautiful. In the present application, the sealing sleeve 4 is made of a TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) material with high strength and high elasticity, or a silicone material, or a mixed material of TPE and silicone. These materials can effectively improve the sealing performance of the sealing sleeve 4. Of course, the sealing sleeve 4 can also use other materials as long as it can have a proper sealing effect.

Further, referring to FIG. 2, the inner wall of the sealing sleeve 4 is provided with an annular sealing protrusion 41, and a cross-sectional of the annular sealing protrusion 41 is tapered. The annular sealing protrusion 41 utilizes a protruding portion, to abut against the outer wall of the housing base 1, thereby further improving the sealing effect of the sealed lipstick tube of the disclosure.

Further, referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, FIG. 4 is an exploded structure view of another perspective of the sealed lipstick tube in the embodiment, and FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of part B of FIG. 4. An annular fixing groove 42 is defined in the sealing sleeve 4. The annular fixing groove 42 matches the nozzle of the housing, inner tube 2 in shape and size. The annular fixing groove 42 engages with one end of the housing inner tube 2, that is, it is stuck at the nozzle of the housing inner tube 2. A plurality of fixing holes 22 are defined in the tube wall of the housing inner tube 2, uniformly distributed around the axis of the housing base 1. A plurality of fixing posts 43 corresponding to the plurality of fixing holes 22 are disposed in the annular fixing groove 42, and each fixing post 43 passes through a corresponding fixing hole 22. The annular fixing groove 42, the fixing holes 22, and the fixing posts 43 constitute a fixing mechanism, which can further strengthen the fixing of the sealing sleeve 4 on the housing inner tube 2 and prevent, the sealing sleeve 4 from falling off. So, the sealing and the waterproof performance of the sealed lipstick tube of the disclosure are ensured to be stable and effective.

Further, referring to FIG. 3, the cartridge 3 includes a cartridge base 31, a cartridge sleeve 32 a screwing tray 33, and a screwing rod 34. The cartridge base 31 is mounted on the housing base 1 by means of glue. An outer wall of the cartridge base 31 is provided with a plurality of fixing protrusions 311, and these fixing protrusions 311 can prevent the cartridge base 31 from rotating in the housing base 1. An end of the cartridge sleeve 32 is movably connected with an end of the cartridge base 31. In detail, a rotation fixing groove 321 is defined in the cartridge sleeve 32, the end of the cartridge base 31 is fittingly engaged in the rotation fixing groove 321 and forms a clearance fit with the cartridge sleeve 32, so that the cartridge sleeve 32 can be rotated about its axis relative to the cartridge base 31. The screwing tray 33 is disposed in the cartridge sleeve 32. The screwing rod 34 is threaded with and penetrates through a central portion of the cartridge base 31. The screwing rod 34 and the cartridge base 31 are engaged together by threads. One end of the screwing rod 34 is connected to the screwing tray 33. When in use, the user holds the cartridge sleeve 32, and then rotates the cartridge base 31 to control the extension and retraction of the screwing tray 33. A columnar lipstick may be positioned at the screwing tray 33 and received in the cartridge sleeve 32, as the rotation of the cartridge base 31, the lipstick can be correspondingly extended out from or retracted into the cartridge sleeve 32. The screwing tray 33 includes a number of rod-shaped fixing elements 331 fixed therein, the fixing elements 331 are configured for inserting, into the lipstick and thereby increasing the bond between the lipstick and the screwing tray 33. The fixing elements 331 are adjacent to the cartridge base 31, and are uniformly distributed around the axis of the cartridge base 31. The cartridge base 31 is coaxial with the housing base 1. Actually, the housing base 1, the housing inner tube 2, the cartridge 3, the sealing sleeve 4, and the housing outer tube 5 are coaxial. When the lipstick is not in use, the lipstick can be hidden in the cartridge sleeve 32. In this way, the effect of preventing the lipstick from being contaminated when not in use is achieved.

In summary, the design of the sealed lipstick tube of the present disclosure is simple. The engagement between the housing base 1 and the sealing sleeve 4 fixed on one end of the housing inner tube 2 is used for sealing, so that the sealing performance of the sealed lipstick tube of the present disclosure is good. In addition, the housing outer tube 5 is sleeved at the outer walls of the housing inner tube 2 and the sealing sleeve 4, the housing outer tube 5 is capable of protecting the housing inner tube 2 and the sealing sleeve 4, thereby increasing the service life of the sealing sleeve 4. Final, the housing, base 1, the housing inner tube 2, and the housing outer tube 5 form an integral structure, so that the appearance of the product is neat and beautiful.

The foregoing contents are detailed description of the disclosure in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments and concrete embodiments of the disclosure are not limited to these description. For the person skilled in the art of the disclosure, without departing from the concept of the disclosure, simple deductions or substitutions can be made and should be included in the protection scope of the application.
