Definitions

  • This invention relates to the field of cosmetic packaging, in particular cosmetic packaging that is attractive and at the same time provides multiple cosmetic products in a form that conserves space particularly in a women's purse, pocket book or other carrying device.
  • Cosmetics is a major industry today with a myriad of different products. Many consumers use a variety of such products as lip treatments, facial powders and creams, eye shadow, eye liner, nail polish etc. Moreover, users of cosmetics frequently have an active lifestyle and partake of many activities during the day. Unfortunately, many cosmetic products can become smudged, worn away etc., over time during the day. As a result, there is a desire by many users to carry many of these products along with them during the day and re-apply them as needed. Many users carry these items in a purse, pocket book, back pack, satchel or other carrying device.
  • One approach to solving the space issue is to provide smaller products i.e, travel or purse size cosmetic products such as mascara, perfume, powder, lip treatments, etc. that are small in size thus increasing the number of items that can be stored in a purse. While these petite items enhance the portability aspect of the product being packaged, there is a downside in that the quantity of product present in the package is reduced thus reducing the value to the consumer.
  • Another problem with the smaller sized packages is the difficulty that the user has in finding the desired product in a reasonable period of time. In a large purse or pocketbook where there are a number of items both cosmetic and non cosmetic stored, the smaller size of the travel versions of the product have a tendency to become buried in the bottom of the purse thus rendering it difficult to locate the item.

Description

  • The present application is a continuation-in-part of our co-pending application Ser. No. ______, filed ______, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.[0001]
    • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • This invention relates to the field of cosmetic packaging, in particular cosmetic packaging that is attractive and at the same time provides multiple cosmetic products in a form that conserves space particularly in a women's purse, pocket book or other carrying device. [0002]
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Cosmetics is a major industry today with a myriad of different products. Many consumers use a variety of such products as lip treatments, facial powders and creams, eye shadow, eye liner, nail polish etc. Moreover, users of cosmetics frequently have an active lifestyle and partake of many activities during the day. Unfortunately, many cosmetic products can become smudged, worn away etc., over time during the day. As a result, there is a desire by many users to carry many of these products along with them during the day and re-apply them as needed. Many users carry these items in a purse, pocket book, back pack, satchel or other carrying device. [0003]
  • Although carrying devices such as purses come in a variety of sizes they all share one common feature. Frequently, no matter how large the purse or pocket book, it is never quite large enough or light enough for the active consumer. There always seems to be a need to add more items to the purse. Yet users are constrained by size and space limitations. Frequently, there is insufficient room for each of the items desired to be included by the consumer. Similarly, many of the cosmetic products come in large sizes that take up considerable volume in the carrying case. [0004]
  • One approach to solving the space issue is to provide smaller products i.e, travel or purse size cosmetic products such as mascara, perfume, powder, lip treatments, etc. that are small in size thus increasing the number of items that can be stored in a purse. While these petite items enhance the portability aspect of the product being packaged, there is a downside in that the quantity of product present in the package is reduced thus reducing the value to the consumer. Another problem with the smaller sized packages is the difficulty that the user has in finding the desired product in a reasonable period of time. In a large purse or pocketbook where there are a number of items both cosmetic and non cosmetic stored, the smaller size of the travel versions of the product have a tendency to become buried in the bottom of the purse thus rendering it difficult to locate the item. [0005]
  • Accordingly, there is a need for an improved cosmetic package for cosmetics that is capable of being stored in a purse handbag or other accouterment in as little space as possible. [0006]
    • OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
  • It is an object of the present invention to provide a cosmetic container that occupies less space in a purse or bag. [0007]
  • It is an object of the present invention to provide a combination package for carrying two or more cosmetic products preferably different cosmetics products in a single package. [0008]
  • It is an object of the invention to provide a combination package for carrying two or more products and wherein there is at least one roll on applicator for applying a product. [0009]
  • It is an object of the invention to provide a combination package for carrying two or more products where the product contained in each portion of the combination package is the same product. [0010]
  • It is an object of the present invention to provide a roll on applicator in one portion of the device and a device for applying an eye product in the second portion of the device. [0011]
  • It is an object of the present invention to provide a roll on applicator containing a product containing a fragrance and a second roll on applicator containing an lip product in a single unitary package. [0012]
  • It is an object of the present invention to provide a roll on applicator for dispensing a product and device for applying a nail product in a single package. [0013]
  • It is an object of the present invention to provide dual container wherein the first portion of the container is a roll on applicator for applying a product containing a fragrance and the second portion of the container contains a nail product. [0014]
  • It is an object of the present invention to provide a roll on applicator for dispensing a product and a device for applying a facial product in a single package. [0015]
  • It is an object of the present invention to provide dual container wherein the first portion of the container is a roll on applicator for applying a product containing a fragrance and the second portion of the container contains a facial product. [0016]
  • It is an object of the present invention to provide a lip product that may be applied by a container having a rollerball type dispenser and a device for applying an eye product in a single package. [0017]
  • It is an object of the present invention to provide a lip product that is applied by a container having a rollerball type dispenser and a device for applying a facial product in a single package. [0018]
  • It is an object of the present invention to provide a lip product that is applied by a container having a rollerball type dispenser and a device for applying a nail product in a single package. [0019]

    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • The dual cosmetic container [0038] 10 of the present invention has a central body or sleeve 11 (See FIG. 1A) that has a first end 12 and a second end 13 and which may be hollow throughout its entire length or at least have two portions thereof each for receiving and preferably retaining an end of a receptacle containing a products such as one of many different types of cosmetic type products. The sleeve 11 may have a cross-section or any shape, however, the cross-section will typically be round or square, elliptical or ovoid. In one embodiment, the sleeve may have two sections 14 and 15 which are connected by a sidewall 16. The first section 14 and the second section 15 are preferably opened and are preferably threaded on their interior surface so that they are adapted to receive a threaded end of a receptacle which contains a product. Alternatively, the first section 14 and the second section 15 may be adapted to receive and connect with the end of a receptacle that has any other type of connecting means such as a bayonet fitting or a snap fitting for retaining a receptacle in the sleeve. In some instances a friction fit may also be satisfactory. The receptacles may be held in place by any other means known to those skilled in the art.
  • In one embodiment, the [0039] sections 14 and 15 may have a pair of conventional threaded caps, see FIG. 1C, inserted into the sleeve with the caps in a head to head relationship. The caps have a side wall 17, an end wall or head wall 18 and an open end 19, the interior of which may be threaded. When two caps are inserted into the sleeve, the end wall 18 of each are typically in contact with each other or the sidewall 16. The open ends of the sleeve 12 and 13 correspond to the open end of the caps 19. The body or sleeve 11 may be any length but it is preferably only of sufficient length to contain the pair threads or other receiving means for receiving a pair receptacles as well as the center wall, if present, that separates the products contained in each receptacle. The sleeve 11 may be made of any suitable material such as a metal or plastic, preferably a polished of matte metallic finish. Where caps are inserted into the sleeve, the central body 11 may also be any length but is preferably only of sufficient length to accommodate the caps at the first and second ends and the end walls of the caps. Where a pair of threaded caps are placed in a head to head relation in the sleeve preferably, the center axis 20 of each cap is preferably generally lined up with the other cap in a generally straight line. In addition, the center axis 21 of the sleeve and the center axis 20 of each of the caps preferably similarly line up in a generally straight line. Although depicted with the caps in an end to end relation one skilled in the art will appreciate that the ends need not be in a head to head position but rather, the heads may be off set.
  • Removably attached to each cap is a [0040] receptacle 22 for containing a product such as a cosmetic product. This receptacle may be of any shape. However, in a preferred embodiment the central body 11 is round in its cross section and the receptacles are also round and both the central body and the receptacles have diameters that are generally similar. In a more preferred embodiment the diameter of the receptacles and the diameter of the central body 11 are generally the same. In another preferred embodiment the cross-section of the receptacles and the cross-section of the central body are not round but are generally the same shape.
  • In one embodiment, at least one receptacle may be provided on its open end with a [0041] roller ball applicator 23 for applying product onto the user. In order to prevent essential oils and/or moisture from unnecessarily escaping from the receptacle the roller ball may have a spring that seats the ball firmly in the rim 24 of the receptacle. The arrangement of the rollerball and spring are described in more detail in our U.S. Pat. No. 5,526,960, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. The rollerball of the present invention may be colored as described in more detail in our U.S. application Ser. No. 09/515,955 the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
  • In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 one of the [0042] receptacles 22 is intended for a product containing a fragrance including but not limited to a perfume containing product and the other receptacle 25 is for an eye product, a lip product, or other product that may be applied by a doe foot type applicator 27. A doe foot applicator is an applicator that has a soft absorbent material at the end of the applicator. Doe foot applicators are usually used for applying lip products, facial products eye products and others. The perfume product may be any product that contains a fragrance and can be a liquid, a semi-liquid or pasty consistency or an solid. The perfume product may be dispensed in any suitable fashion such as by a small orifice in the threaded end of the receptacle. Alternatively, the perfume may be dispensed by means of a spray applicator removably connected to the receptacle or a rollerball applicator as discussed above. The eye product may be a mascara, an eye liner, etc. In another embodiment the eye product may be dispensed by a rollerball arrangement in a receptacle similar to the receptacle 22 as described above, by an applicator 26 that extends from the cap into the receptacle or other suitable means. In one embodiment the applicator may be a doe foot applicator 27. Alternatively, instead of a doe foot applicator 27, a brush like a mascara brush can be used. Also, one or both ends of the applicator may have a cosmetic serum present and be applied by any of the applicator means described
  • In another embodiment, the [0043] rollerball receptacle 22 may contain a liquid lip product, lip stain, lip gloss or other lip product.
