Publication number: 20100101600Abstract: Disclosed herein is a cosmetic case. The cosmetic case opens a discharge port of a main body by a support unit that is pushed backwards when a puff is pressed, and closes the discharge port when the puff is released, thus stopping discharging powder. The cosmetic case for containing powder is constructed so that a control unit controls the discharge of powder to the puff, using the simple support unit having thin legs, thus allowing the powder to be discharged only when necessary. Further, the cosmetic case has the simple support unit, so that the manufacture and assembly of the cosmetic case is easy, and the smooth flow of powder is permitted, and has no part in which the powder may be caught or accumulated, thus allowing the support unit to perform an excellent support function for a lengthy period of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2007Publication date: April 29, 2010Inventor: Sun-Ah Kang

Publication number: 20090041530Abstract: A hand-held cosmetic powder applicator brush apparatus for applying cosmetic powders such as facial powders and other powders to a user. The brush apparatus comprises a housing having a chamber for holding a powder to be dispensed and a valve mechanism for selectively opening and closing the chamber to a brush mounted on the housing so that powder in the housing may be dispensed to the bristles of the brush. The valve is operable by rotating an upper housing section such as a sleeve on the housing in a first direction to cause such opening. When the brush is not used, the upper housing section is rotated in the opposite direction to cause the valve mechanism to close. There is also a shield which extends around a portion of the brush to engage and protect the bristles when an outer cap is placed over the brush.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2007Publication date: February 12, 2009Inventors: David M.

Publication number: 20040035438Abstract: Disclosed is an improved powder case capable of efficiently dispensing contained powder. The powder case comprises a storage member 30 having a storage portion 31 for containing powder and a bellows portion 32 for enabling contraction/expansion of the storage portion 31; and a puff 40 coupled to a first end of the storage member 30 and for absorbing powder therefrom and discharging the same to the outside. A covering cap 50 is coupled with the puff 40 when the powder case is not used to prevent leak of powder and to protect the puff 40 from moisture. The puff 40 is made of a porous material such as sponge to facilitate penetration of powder and to provide soft touch to the skin. The powder case can efficiently dispense powder under compressed air obtained through contraction/expansion of the bellows portion in order to facilitate the use thereof. Since the bellows portion is contracted while the puff is contacted against the skin, powder can be efficiently discharged in compressed air.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2003Publication date: February 26, 2004Applicant: F.S.
