    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved assembling structure of intermediate tube of lipstick, which is an improvement of assembling positioning structure of intermediate tube of lipstick that realizes comfortable and smooth rotation control in out-feeding lipstick, generally including a plurality of equally divided and slightly convexly raised elastic flange plates that are formed on a circumferential surface of a rotary base to which an intermediate tube is assembled, whereby the intermediate tube, when assembled, shows a point elastic pushing positioning assembling with respect to the rotary base so that when the rotary base is rotated to control the internally received lipstick holder to raise or lower, an effect of safe use that is realized by positive engagement and shaking-free rotation control. As such, the assembling structure of lipstick is made stable and positive and comfort and safety of the use of the lipstick are ensured.

  • Patent number: 8591129
    Abstract: The lipstick assembly has an outer tube, a middle tube, a rotational control base, and a lipstick base. A vertical groove is configured on an inner surface of the outer tube for joining and confining the middle tube to move only up and down. Helical grooves are configured separately in an upper section and a lower section on an inner surface of the middle tube. The lower helical groove is joined to the rotational control base whereas the upper helical groove is joined to the lipstick base. When the rotational control base is twisted in one direction, the middle tube is raised upward to force a cap of the outer tube to open. Then, by twisting the rotational control base in an opposite direction, the middle tube is retracted and the cap automatically seals the lipstick assembly.

  • Patent number: 8500352
    Abstract: The present invention is a mechanically operating device used for packaging and applying a product. A molded product traverses through a barrel as an actuator sleeve is rotated. The actuator sleeve rotates an actuator, propelling a driver through the barrel. The driver is keyed into the barrel using a clutch washer—the clutch washer prevents the rotation of the driver. Mechanical actuating splines on the actuator engage the threads of the driver. The forward motion of the driver transversely pushes a cup out from an orifice of the barrel. The molded product is fitted within the cup. A cap is hermetically sealed to a barrel to create dynamic vapor chamber that prevents any contamination or alteration of the molded product. Primary and secondary seals between the barrel and the cap as well as between the cup and the barrel maintain the airtight feature of the dynamic vapor chamber.

  • Patent number: 8277136
    Abstract: A stick-shaped material extruding container for performing forward and backward movements of a stick-shaped material without trouble and prevent detachment of the stick-shaped material by an impact. A movable body having a piston-like extruding portion, closely attached within a filling member, is arranged within a container. The stick-shaped material is loaded in the filling member so as to be closely attached to the filling member and the piston-like extruding portion. When the stick-shaped material is pushed by a forward movement of the piston-like extruding portion to appear from an opening of the container, a sucking action is generated due to decompression between the piston-like extruding portion and the stick-shaped material by a backward movement of the piston-like extruding portion to retract the stick-shaped material, and the decompression prevents falling off of the stick-shaped material from the container.
