Patent number: 5163581Abstract: A dispenser cartridge loaded with identical mini-compacts containing a test sample of a particular cosmetic such as lip gloss or eye shadow, thereby making it possible for consumers, before purchasing this cosmetic, to try out the sample. The cartridge, which is vertically mounted, includes a gravity-feed channel accommodating a stack of mini-compacts, the lowermost of which rests on a ledge in alignment with an exit slot. Below the slot is a slidable ejector which when pulled out acts to withdraw the lowermost mini-compact through the slot. And when the ejector, after the withdrawn mini-compact is removed therefrom, is pushed back, then the mini-compact, which is now lowermost, falls on the ledge in readiness for the next ejector action. The cartridge, when exhausted, is refillable through a channel inlet at the upper end of the cartridge.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 1990Date of Patent: November 17, 1992Assignee: Anna Young Associates, Ltd.Inventor: Carl M.
