摘要:
A protective outer shell for a cosmetic container, such as a lipstick container, having a tubular shell cover and a tubular shell base wherein the shell cover is positively retained on the shell base. The shell cover includes at least one radially inwardly extending rib extending along an inner surface of the cover. The rib cooperates with a locking member extending radially outward from the shell base so that the shell cover is moveable between a locked and unlocked position. In the locked position, rotational and axial movement of the shell cover relative to the shell base is limited to prevent accidental removal of the cover from the base.
摘要:
An improved cosmetic package, particularly for eye make-up such as mascara, comprising a container, a cap having an applicator extendable into the container and a wiping body within the neck of the container. The package is particularly suited for applicators having an irregular cross-section and provides for threaded cooperation between the cap and container by a construction wherein the cap and applicator are relatively rotatable about their common longitudinal axis. An alternative construction provides for the applicator to be fixed within the cap and the wiping body to be relatively rotatable with the container about their common longitudinal axis. These constructions allow applicators with irregular cross-sections to be used in containers where the cap and container attach by means of cooperating threads.
