Benefits of technology

[0009]To solve the aforementioned problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a container which enables consumers to use all skin care products in the bottle and minimize residual skin care products, especially remaining products / substances at the bottom.
[0010]Accordingly, the present invention discloses a container having an elongated lower body portion and an elongated upper body portion. The elongated lower body portion includes a solid bottom portion, an open top, and a generally geometrical sidewall to define a bowl-like space. The elongated upper body portion has a dispensing head and a generally geometrical sidewall to define a hollow space with a longitudinal distance greater than a depth of the bowl-like space. Normally, the elongated upper body portion is connected to the elongated lower body portion to form a container body to be adapted for containing the substance, such as cosmetics or skin care products. consumers may use them from the dispensing head. On the other hand, the elongated upper body portion is further adapted to disconnect from the elongated lower body portion to facilitate obtaining the remaining substance for consumers from the bowl-like space of the elongated lower body portion.

Problems solved by technology

Skin which appears wrinkled, discolored, rough, flabby, or malformed gives an unhealthy or unattractive impression to others.
A prime cause of skin wrinkling and roughness is dehydration of the scarf skin, especially the stratum corneum.
However, most of those products are viscous liquids, such as conditioners, body lotions, sun screens, moisturizers, makeup remover, facial treatments, makeup foundations, etc., which pose particular difficulties in dispensing.
The viscosity of these liquids makes it difficult to dispense them from standard, top-opening containers because the liquids tend to stay at the bottom of the container even when the container is inverted.
It often takes considerable patience on the part of the consumer to wait until the viscous liquid reaches the opening or the dispensing spout on the top of the container after the container is inverted.
However, most of the skin care products or cosmetics do not have larger volumes products.
Such a refillable container is difficult to be adapted for those products.
After refilling a couple of times, the remaining products may have expired, which may breed bacteria or deteriorate.
If the consumers continue to use, skin injury could occur.

first embodiment

[0025]Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a respective view of a container in accordance with the present invention.

[0026]The container includes an elongated lower body portion 20 and an elongated upper body portion 10. The elongated upper body portion 10 is connected to the elongated lower body portion 20 to form a container body 100 to be adapted for containing a substance therein for use from a dispensing head 11. The substance may be, but not limited to, hair care products (shampoos, conditioners, hair sprays, hair gels, hair lotions, etc.), body care products (body oils, body lotions, liquid body soap), skin care products (moisturizers, makeup remover, facial treatments, toners), sun care products (sun screens, self tanning lotions), beauty products (nail polish remover, bubble baths, liquid makeup, after shave lotions, perfumes), and other cosmetics, such as mascaras, make-up foundations, etc., in particular viscous liquids.

[0027]As shown in FIG. 1, the dispensing head 11 is a di...

second embodiment

[0032]Please see FIGS. 3A and 3B, which are explosive and sectional views respectively of the second embodiment in accordance with the present invention. A waterproof gasket 40 is placed between the lower connecting portion 22 and the upper connecting portion 12 to prevent the substance to leak from the container body 100 when the elongated upper body portion 10 is connected to the elongated lower body portion 20. The waterproof gasket 40 may be an O-ring, which commonly made of rubber.

third embodiment

[0033]As shown in FIG. 4A, which is an explosive view of the container in accordance with the present invention. The lower connecting portion 22 is fit tightly to the upper connecting portion 12. However, the tight fit will cause the elongated upper body portion 10 and the elongated lower body portion 20 to be difficult to detach. And the substance may leak from the container body 100. Therefore, pleases see FIG. 4B, the elongated upper body portion 10 is connected to the elongated lower body portion 20 by a adhesive 41.

[0034]The adhesive 41 may be a hot-melt adhesive. The consumer could disconnect the elongated upper body portion 10 and the elongated lower body portion 20 by a little heating. The heating time or temperature depends on the property of the adhesive 41. On the other hand, the adhesive 41 may be a water-proof adhesive to prevent the substance to leak from the container body 100. Moreover, the adhesive 41 may be a combination of the hot-melt adhesive and the water-proof...

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a container, and more particularly but not by any way of limitation, to a container having an elongated upper body portion being further adapted to disconnect from an elongated lower body portion to facilitate obtaining of all skin care products therein and minimizing residual skin care products.[0003]2. Related Art[0004]Human beings have been conscious of and concerned about the condition and appearance of their skin since the beginnings of recorded history.
