Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to cosmetic tool technology, specifically to a cosmetic applicator. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional applicator applicators are generally made of plastic, which doesn't provide good application and often requires multiple applications to achieve the desired effect, making it inconvenient to use. Currently, metal applicators have emerged, offering better makeup application. However, because of their smooth surface, metal applicators hold less product, requiring repeated refills from the container, which also presents inconvenience. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this application provides a cosmetic applicator having a first applicator and a second applicator with different hardness. The second applicator has a strong ability to carry material, thereby overcoming the disadvantage that the first applicator, which is made of only temperature-sensitive material, has a weak ability to carry material, and improving the material carrying capacity of the applicator.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problem is:

[0005] A cosmetic applicator includes a rod, a first applicator, a second applicator, and a connector. The rod is fixedly connected to the first applicator, and the second applicator is fixedly installed on the first applicator via the connector. The hardness of the first applicator is greater than the hardness of the connector, and the hardness of the connector is greater than the hardness of the second applicator. The first applicator is made of a temperature-sensitive material.

[0006] Optionally, the temperature-sensitive material includes metal, metal alloy, ceramic, glass, or stone; the material of the second coating component includes sponge, latex, silicone, or foam; the sponge includes foamed sponge, non-foamed porous sponge, or bio-based biomimetic sponge; and the material of the connector includes plastic.

[0007] Optionally, the first coating component is made of metal or metal alloy, and the second coating component is made of foamed sponge.

[0008] Optionally, the rod and the first coating component are integrally formed metal or metal alloy components; or, the rod and the first coating component are separate structures, with the first coating component fixedly installed inside the rod. The rod is made of plastic, and the first coating component is made of metal or metal alloy.

[0009] Optionally, both the first and second applicators have an applicating surface, which includes a flat surface and / or a curved surface.

[0010] Optionally, the first applicator includes a mounting portion and an applicator portion that are fixedly connected, the connector is fixedly installed inside the second applicator, and the mounting portion is fixedly installed inside the connector.

[0011] Optionally, a first groove is formed on the second coating member, a second groove is formed on the connector, the connector is embedded in the first groove, and the mounting part is embedded in the second groove.

[0012] Optionally, the second coating component and the connecting component are fixed together by at least one of interference fit, snap-fit, or adhesive bonding, and the connecting component and the first coating component are fixed together by at least one of interference fit, snap-fit, or adhesive bonding.

[0013] Optionally, the connector includes two spring pieces, with the second groove formed between the two spring pieces. Each spring piece is provided with an insert and a protrusion. The mounting part has a first embedding groove and a second embedding groove. The insert is inserted into the first embedding groove, and the protrusion is inserted into the second embedding groove.

[0014] Optionally, the inner wall of the spring extends toward the second groove to form the insert, and one end of the spring extends toward the outside of the connector to form the protrusion.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: In this application, the first applicator and the second applicator are two independently molded parts. The second applicator is installed on the surface of the first applicator using a connector. Since the hardness of the connector is between that of the first and second applicators, using the connector as a connecting medium for the first and second applicators overcomes the disadvantage of insufficient bonding strength when the first applicator is directly connected to the second applicator. When in use, the applicator is pulled out of the bottle. Since the hardness of the second applicator is less than that of the first applicator, the second applicator has a strong ability to carry the product, thus overcoming the disadvantage of the first applicator, which is made of only temperature-sensitive material, having a weak ability to carry the product. Therefore, this applicator has a large product carrying capacity and is more convenient to use. Since the hardness of the first applicator is greater than that of the second applicator, when using the second applicator for makeup application, the first applicator supports the second applicator, thereby improving the makeup effect. Because the hardness of the first and second applicators is different, it can meet the different makeup needs of users and broaden the functionality of the applicator. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described in this application are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such uses of the terms can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0028] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0029] Example: Figure 1-9 As shown, a cosmetic applicator includes a rod 100, a first applicator 200, a second applicator 300, and a connector 400. The rod 100 is fixedly connected to the first applicator 200, and the second applicator 300 is fixedly installed on the first applicator 200 via the connector 400. The hardness of the first applicator 200 is greater than that of the connector 400, and the hardness of the connector 400 is greater than that of the second applicator 300. The first applicator 200 is made of a temperature-sensitive material. The rod 100 is used to assemble onto a cap, which closes onto a bottle. The applicator is placed inside the bottle, which contains a product, including serums, essential oils, creams, and other cosmetic products. Both the first applicator 200 and the second applicator 300 can be used for cosmetic purposes.

[0030] In this application, the first applicator 200 and the second applicator 300 are two independently molded parts. The second applicator 300 is mounted on the surface of the first applicator 200 using a connector 400. Since the hardness of the connector 400 is between that of the first applicator 200 and the second applicator 300, using the connector 400 as a connecting medium overcomes the disadvantage of insufficient bonding strength when the second applicator 300 is directly connected to the first applicator 200. In use, the applicator is pulled out of the bottle. Because the hardness of the second applicator 300 is less than that of the first applicator 200, the first applicator 300... The second applicator 300 has a strong ability to carry product, thus overcoming the weakness of the first applicator 200, which is made of a temperature-sensitive material. This is especially true for thinner products. Therefore, this applicator has a large product capacity and is more convenient to use. Since the first applicator 200 is harder than the second applicator 300, it supports the second applicator 300 when applying makeup, thereby improving the makeup effect. The difference in hardness between the first and second applicators 200 can meet different makeup needs of users and broaden the applicator's functionality.

[0031] Optionally, the temperature-sensitive material includes metal, metal alloy, ceramic, glass, or stone; the material of the second coating component 300 includes sponge, latex, silicone, or foam; the sponge includes foamed sponge, non-foamed porous sponge, or bio-based biomimetic sponge; and the material of the connector 400 includes plastic. Metal or metal alloy materials include steel, iron, aluminum, copper, zinc, aluminum alloy, copper alloy, etc.; and plastic materials include polypropylene, polycarbonate resin, polyethylene terephthalate-1,4-cyclohexanediol, high-density polyethylene, etc.

[0032] In one possible implementation, the first applicator 200 is made of metal or a metal alloy, and the second applicator 300 is made of foamed sponge. In use, the second applicator 300, made of foamed sponge, carries a larger amount of product and can quickly apply it to the area to be made up. Then, the first applicator 200, made of metal or metal alloy, spreads the product evenly, improving makeup application efficiency. The first applicator 200 also provides a cooling sensation, enlarging pores and allowing the product to penetrate deeper before shrinking back, thus improving skin absorption and the evenness of the product application. This application combines the temperature-sensitive first applicator 200 and the sponge-made second applicator 300 into a single applicator, making it convenient for users to carry and saving storage space. It also overcomes the limitation of using only the first applicator 200 for thinner products, thus broadening the applicator's application range.

[0033] like Figure 1-2As shown, in one possible embodiment, the rod 100 and the first coating component 200 are integrally formed metal or metal alloy parts; in another possible embodiment, the rod 100 and the first coating component 200 are separate structures, with the first coating component 200 fixedly installed inside the rod 100. The rod 100 is made of plastic, and the first coating component 200 is made of metal or metal alloy. Designing the rod 100 and the first coating component 200 as an integral part simplifies the processing and installation process and improves the product's quality; designing the rod 100 and the first coating component 200 as separate structures reduces processing difficulty and cost.

[0034] Optionally, both the first applicator 200 and the second applicator 300 are provided with an applicating surface, which includes a flat surface and / or a curved surface. The exposed surfaces on the first applicator 200 and the second applicator 300 are the applicating surfaces, and different makeup effects can be achieved by using applicating surfaces of different shapes and hardness.

[0035] like Figure 3-5 As shown, the first applicator 200 includes a mounting portion 210 and an applicator portion 220 that are fixedly connected. A connector 400 is fixedly installed within the second applicator 300, and the mounting portion 210 is fixedly installed within the connector 400. The applicator portion 220 has an applicating surface. Since the connector 400 is embedded within the second applicator 300 and the mounting portion 210 is embedded within the connector 400, the bonding strength between the first applicator 200, the second applicator 300, and the connector 400 is high.

[0036] like Figure 3-9 As shown, a first groove 310 is formed on the second coating part 300, a second groove 410 is formed on the connector 400, the connector 400 is embedded in the first groove 310, and the mounting part 210 is embedded in the second groove 410.

[0037] The second applicator 300 is fixed to the connector 400 by at least one of the following methods: interference fit, snap-fit, or adhesive bonding. The connector 400 is also fixed to the first applicator 200 by at least one of the following methods: interference fit, snap-fit, or adhesive bonding. In one possible embodiment, the connector 400 is fixed to the second applicator 300 by adhesive bonding, and the connector 400 is fixed to the first applicator 200 by snap-fit, effectively preventing the second applicator 300 from falling off.

[0038] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and 9As shown, the connector 400 includes two spring pieces 420, with a second groove 410 formed between the two spring pieces 420. Each spring piece 420 is provided with an insert 421 and a protruding edge 422. The mounting part 210 has a first embedding groove 211 and a second embedding groove 212. The insert 421 is engaged in the first embedding groove 211, and the protruding edge 422 is engaged in the second embedding groove 212. The connector 400 and the mounting part 210 are connected by the first embedding groove 211 and the insert 421, and the second embedding groove 212 and the protruding edge 422, which improves the bonding strength between the connector 400 and the first coating part 200.

[0039] like Figure 9 As shown, in one possible implementation, two spring pieces 420 are arranged in parallel. The inner sidewall of the spring piece 420 extends into the second groove 410 to form an insert 421, and one end of the spring piece 420 extends outward toward the connector 400 to form a protruding edge 422. The first applicator 200, the second applicator 300, and the connector 400 are all elongated structures. The first groove 310 is formed along the length direction of the second applicator 300 and extends through the entire length direction of the second applicator 300. The second groove 410 is formed along the length direction of the connector 400 and extends through the entire length direction of the connector 400.

[0040] When in use, the applicator is taken out of the bottle, and the second applicator 300, made of foam sponge, carries more product. The product is then quickly applied to the area to be made up using the applicator surface of the second applicator 300. The product is then spread evenly using the applicator surface of the first applicator 200, made of metal or metal alloy, to complete the makeup application process, thus improving the efficiency of makeup application.

[0041] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
