Abstract

A cosmetic package for a cosmetic, a care or pharmaceutical product which can be applied onto keratinous substrates such as skin, lips, under eyes, eyelids, cheeks, or eyebrows or any other part of the body. The cosmetic package comprises a base, a pivot frame connected to the base, and a plurality of cosmetic containers. The plurality of cosmetic containers has a plurality of reservoirs and a plurality of applicators removably coupled to the respective plurality of reservoirs. The pivot frame is configured to have a closed position and at least one open position. In the open position of the pivot frame, caps of the plurality of applicators can be disengaged from the respective plurality of reservoirs. In a closed position of the pivot frame, the pivot frame prevents the caps of the plurality of applicators from disengaging from the respective plurality of reservoirs.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cosmetic package comprising:
a base with a plurality of reservoirs;
a pivot frame secured to the base;
a plurality of applicators, wherein each applicator of the plurality of applicators is removably attached to a respective reservoir of the plurality of reservoirs;
wherein each of the plurality of reservoirs accommodates a cosmetic or a care product;
wherein each of the plurality of applicators comprises a rod, a cap at a proximal end of the rod and an applicator tip at a distal end of the rod;
wherein the cap includes at least one sidewall and a radial through hole formed in the at least one sidewall;
wherein a release button is slidably received and located within the radial through hole formed in the at least one sidewall of the cap;
wherein the at least one sidewall of the cap, that receives the release button, is always exposed to an external environment;
wherein the release button and a portion of the at least one sidewall of the cap, that receives the release button, are not configured to be covered by the pivot frame;
wherein when the cap is secured to a respective reservoir of the plurality of reservoirs, the cap is completely positioned outside said respective reservoir while the applicator tip is positioned inside said respective reservoir;
wherein the pivot frame is configured to have a closed position and at least one open position;
wherein in the open position of the pivot frame, the pivot frame is at a non-zero degree angle with respect to a vertical axis of the base;
wherein in the open position of the pivot frame, each of the plurality of applicators can be disengaged from a respective reservoir of the plurality of reservoirs by pushing in a release button present in the respective cap;
wherein in the closed position of the pivot frame, the pivot frame is at a zero degree angle with respect to the vertical axis of the base and prevents the plurality of applicators from disengaging from the plurality of reservoirs of the base; and
wherein in the closed position of the pivot frame, the pivot frame covers the caps of the plurality of applicators from at least a top side of the caps without abutting the caps such that there is a minuscule gap between the caps and the pivot frame which prevents the plurality of applicators from accidentally popping out from the plurality of reservoirs by restricting an axial movement of the plurality of applicators in an upward direction.

2. The cosmetic package according to claim 1 , wherein at least two cosmetic products housed in respective ones of the plurality of reservoirs are different from each other and/or at least two applicators of the plurality of the applicators housed in respective ones of the plurality of reservoirs are different from each other.

3. The cosmetic package according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of reservoirs has a plurality of neck portions; wherein the plurality of neck portions is formed by a collar that is fitted to a proximal end of the plurality of reservoirs; and wherein each of the plurality of the neck portions of the collar fits over a respective opening of each of the plurality of reservoirs.

4. The cosmetic package according to claim 3 , wherein each of the caps comprises a cap body adapted to be detachably fitted around the plurality of neck portions of the collar, and wherein the cap body houses a spring and an elastic member, and wherein the release button is integral with the elastic member.

5. The cosmetic package according to claim 4 , wherein the elastic member has an oval shape which engages with a conical portion of the plurality of the neck portions of the collar for keeping the cap body from coming off the base, and wherein when the release button is pushed in by pressing, the elastic member is deformed into a circular shape having a larger diameter than a diameter of a cylindrical rim portion of the respective neck portion of the plurality of the neck portions of the collar and disengages from the conical portion of the respective neck portion of the collar.

6. The cosmetic package according to claim 5 , wherein when the release button is pushed in, the cap is spontaneously pushed up by a force of the spring.

7. The cosmetic package according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of reservoirs of the base is identical and regularly spaced from the plurality of reservoirs while extending parallel to one another.

8. The cosmetic package according to claim 1 , wherein the pivot frame rotates at least 60 degrees but less than 180 degrees with respect to the vertical axis of the base.

9. The cosmetic package according to claim 1 , wherein the pivot frame includes a back wall, a top wall, a left sidewall and a right sidewall.

10. The cosmetic package according to claim 9 , wherein the pivot frame is rotatably attached to the base through a pair of recesses and a pair of protrusions, and wherein inner surfaces of the left sidewall and the right sidewall of the pivot frame include the pair of recesses that mate with the corresponding pair of protrusions on outer surfaces of an upper left edge and an upper right edge of the base.

11. The cosmetic package according to claim 10 , wherein the cosmetic package is configured to allow the pivot frame to rest about at least two different angular positions with respect to the base, and wherein the base includes a pair of projections on outer surfaces of both an upper left edge and an upper right edge of the base, and the pivot frame includes a pair of bumps on the inner surfaces of the left sidewall and the right sidewall of the pivot frame.

12. The cosmetic package according to claim 11 , wherein when in a first resting position of the pivot frame, the pivot frame is at a zero degree angle with respect to the vertical axis of the base and corresponds to the closed position of the pivot frame, and wherein in a second resting position, the pivot frame is at a non-zero degree angle with respect to the vertical axis of the base and corresponds to the open position of the pivot frame.

13. A cosmetic package comprising:
a base;
a pivot frame secured to the base;
a plurality of cosmetic containers removably secured to the base;
wherein each of the plurality of cosmetic containers includes a reservoir;
wherein at least one of the plurality of cosmetic containers includes a corresponding applicator associated with said reservoir;
wherein the reservoir accommodates a cosmetic or a care product;
wherein the applicator comprises a rod, a cap at a proximal end of the rod and an applicator tip at a distal end of the rod;
wherein the cap includes at least one sidewall and a radial through hole formed in the at least one sidewall;
wherein a release button is slidably received and located within the radial through hole formed in the at least one sidewall of the cap;
wherein the at least one sidewall of the cap, that receives the release button, is always exposed to an external environment;
wherein the release button and a portion of the at least one sidewall of the cap, that receives the release button, are not configured to be covered by the pivot frame;
wherein when the cap is secured to the reservoir, the cap is completely positioned outside the reservoir while the applicator tip is positioned inside the reservoir;
wherein the pivot frame is configured to have a closed position and at least one open position;
wherein in the open position of the pivot frame, the pivot frame is at a non-zero degree angle with respect to a vertical axis of the base;
wherein in the open position of the pivot frame, the applicator can be disengaged from the respective reservoir by pushing in the release bu
