Definitions
- the present invention relates to a nail-polish dispenser and applicator device.
- polishes used in cosmetics to color the nails or make them shiny are usually contained in small jars provided with a closure which inwardly forms a small brush; by means of said brush, the polish is spread on the nails.
- the application of the polish with the brush is generally difficult and requires quite some time, since it is necessary to apply a thin and uniform layer of polish.
- to carry the jars of polish in a bag is risky, due to their fragility.
- Nail-polish dispensers have recently been proposed which are provided with a spreader felt pad which impregnates itself with the polish to be applied by virtue of the pressure exerted on the nail. Such dispensers, however, have turned out to be functional only with very liquid polishes which fulfil the required function only in a very limited manner.
- the aim of the present invention is to eliminate the above described disadvantages by devising a device which allows to dispense and apply in a simple and rapid manner a thin layer of polish on the nails.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a nail-polish dispenser which is simple in concept, easy and safe to transport, as well as relatively economical in cost so as to be convenient even when designed for a limited number of doses of polish.
- the present nail-polish dispenser and applicator device comprising a tubular body composed of a tank for the polish and a top portion provided with a polish dispensing outlet, from one side whereof there extends a row of bristles adapted to spread said polish on nails.
- the nail-polish dispenser and applicator device is susbtantially composed of a tubular body 1 in plastic material composed of a nail-polish tank 2 in the shape of a truncated cone and having a substantially hemispherical bottom 3.
- the body 1 On top of the tank 2, the body 1 consists of a top portion 4 having a tapered portion 5 aligned with the axis of said tank.
- the portion 5 is provided with a region 6 of coupling to the tank 2 consisting of two concentric cylindrical elements 7 and 8 between which the neck of the tank 2 is forcibly coupled; this coupling can be improved by means of a retention tooth or even with a metallic band closed after filling or the like, not illustrated here for the sake of clarity.
- the portion 5 is axially provided with a small dispensing hole 9 from a side whereof extends a row of bristles 10 which have a direction parallel to the axis of the body 1 and are adapted to facilitate the uniform spreading of the polish on the nails.
- a cap 11 in the shape of a nose cone and inwardly provided with an axial pin 12, adapted to be inserted in the hole 9, is adapted to be mounted on the portion 5.
- a small ball can be included in the tank 2 for a better mixing of the polish by shaking the body 1; in order to prevent the ball (not illustrated in the drawings) from obstructing the hole 9 a plurality of pins 13 are provided on the inner side of the portion 5.
- a small cylindrical border 14 is provided on the outside of the base of the portion 5 whereto the inner mount 15 of the cap 11 performs a slightly forced sealing coupling advantageously by means of small tooth.
- the cap can have its end flattened perpendicular to the longitudinal axis to provide a resting base for the dispenser.
- the portion 5 forms a monolithic structure with the bristles 10 and is obtained, like the cap, by molding plastic materials.
- the row of bristles can be passed several times on the nail to provide a thin and uniform layer of polish.
- the ball optionally provided inside the tank allows to perform a better mixing of the polish before its dispensing: besides this, the pin 12, by occluding the small hole 9, avoids the evaporation of the solvent.
- the dispenser therefore allows to provide the intended amount of polish and to then easily perform its application without risks of spilling, stains or the like.
- the releasing action of the tank after the pressure exerted to dispense the polish, determines a counterpressure which returns the polish into the tank, preventing any losses.
- the tank can be made to store a limited quantity of polish so as to allow frequent replacements in order to always have fresh polish which, as is known, tends to dry very easily.
- the materials employed, as well as the shapes and dimensions, can be any according to the requirements without thereby abandoning the scope of the invention.
