AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a lipstick extractor and dispenser device that can be used with a tubular lipstick applicator. The device includes a tubular body with a closed end and an open end, an extractor associated with the open end, and a dispenser that can move within the extractor. The extractor has a helical or pitched thread and a guide slot, and it can rotate to capture and dispense lipstick from the applicator. The device allows for easy and convenient use of lipstick.

Problems solved by technology

A problem associated lipstick dispensers is that when the cup shaped base has been moved to its upper limit, the lipstick remaining in the cup shaped base does not extend beyond the open end of the dispenser and therefore is unavailable to the user.
However, these devices are ineffective and fail to completely extract all of the lipstick from the cup shaped base of the lipstick container.
In addition, prior art extractors are incompatible with the lipstick containers from different manufacturers.
Finally, prior art extractors do not enable the extracted lipstick to be withdrawn into or dispensed from the extractor following extraction.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]FIG. 1 shows the lipstick extractor and dispenser device D according to the present invention. The device includes a sleeve member or tubular body 2. As best shown in FIG. 2, the tubular body 2 has a first end 6, second end 4, interior wall 8, exterior wall 10, and a helical thread or groove 12 extending within the interior wall 8 from the first end to the second end and as shown in FIG. 2.

[0021]As best shown in FIG. 1, the device further includes a tubular extractor 14 that is received within sleeve member 2. The tubular extractor 14 has a first end 16, a second end 18 and a side wall 13 extending between the first and second ends. The first end 16 is fixedly secured to a knob 20 and as best shown in FIG. 4. Rotation of knob 20 will causes axial rotation of extractor tube 14. The opposite end of the device is provided with a removable cap 38.

[0022]The second end 18 of tubular extractor 14 is provided with a series of rib members or parallel grooves 22 that extend the longitud...

Abstract

A device for extracting lipstick from a lipstick applicator comprising a plunger, the plunger having a series of rib members along one end of the plunger that run parallel to its longitudinal axis, a pin is disposed at the other end of the plunger and traverse to the longitudinal axis of the plunger, a tubular extractor, the extractor having a guide slot through its side wall, one end of the extractor has a series of rib members, the rib members extend parallel to the extractors longitudinal axis, the plunger is coaxially received within the extractor and the pin extends through the slot to guide travel of the plunger in the extractor whereby when the ribbed end of the extractor is inserted within a lipstick applicator having lipstick to be extracted, lipstick will be captured within the ribbed end of the extractor. The extracted lipstick may be dispensed from the device by selectively moving the plunger. One embodiment provides a threaded sleeve to guide the plunger pin as the extractor is rotated.
