The invention relates to a mixer system for producing a cosmetic product. The invention also relates to a bottle for dispensing a cosmetic product. The mixer system is used to produce a cosmetic product from capsules (7, 8, 9) containing the raw materials needed in the composition of such a cosmetic product, namely the cosmetic texturiser, the cosmetic active ingredient and, optionally, a cosmetic fragrance. The invention is intended to be used in the cosmetics industry.

The present invention relates to a device (1) for manufacturing a customized product, preferably a customized cosmetic product, by mixing at least two components housed in a respective container, at least one of the containers being a capsule (4), and at least one other container being a pot (2), said containers are each provided with at least one identification code (3), the identification code (3) of the capsule and of the pot being identical or different, and in that said device (1) for manufacturing a customized product comprises at least one means for reading said identification code (3) of the capsule, at least one means for reading said identification code (3) of the pot, said reading means possibly being a single reading means in the case where the identification code (3) of the capsule and of the pot are identical, and at least one means for writing and rewriting identification codes of the capsule and/or of the pot. The present invention also relates to the use of the device according to the invention for preparing a customized product and to a method for checking and monitoring containers and their content for manufacturing a customized product.

Improving health and experience of a cosmetic product user, the robotic cosmetic mix bar of the present invention is disclosed. The robotic cosmetic mix bar allows the user to select safe ingredients tailored to their own unique hair and skincare goals. In one embodiment, the robotic cosmetic mix bar contains a robotic arm surrounded by a dispenser and multiple processing stations. Based on a user input indicating a type of cosmetic product and the ingredients to include in the cosmetic product, the robotic arm obtains the desired ingredients from the dispenser and, by transporting the ingredients from one processing station to another, the robotic arm facilitates the processing of the ingredients. The processing of ingredients can include boiling, cooling, mixing, whisking, blending, etc. Within approximately two minutes, the cosmetic product built according to the user specifications is delivered to the user.

A makeup fluid management and supply device and method are provided. The method includes the steps of: receiving a cosmetic style template sent from a user device; selecting a makeup bottle by the control module in accordance with a makeup application step of the cosmetic style template and moving the makeup bottle to a using position by the driving module; reading a label information of the makeup bottle; sending the label information to the management unit so as to perform a validation procedure on the makeup bottle; rotating, in response to a positive validation result, the makeup bottle by the driving module so as to perform a makeup fluid mixing procedure on the makeup bottle; and driving, by the driving module, the makeup bottle to move in a first direction until the makeup bottle is squeezed so as to obtain a makeup fluid of the makeup bottle.

The present teachings contemplate a dispensing apparatus for cosmetic samples, the apparatus comprising a retail point of sale dispenser; a carrier including a plurality of mounts and a plurality of containers removably attached to the carrier via the plurality of mounts; with vertical and horizontal translational components; one or more information retrieval devices; a user interface including a data interface adapted to store information on the one or more information retrieval devices; a transparent panel covering at least a portion of the dispensing apparatus and wherein the one or more information retrieval device are adapted to be maintained in the possession of a user; and wherein the apparatus dispenses cosmetic samples based on user input.

The invention relates to a fluid mixing device which mixes a base fluid with one or more additive fluids coming from respective containers, said device being characterised in that it is quick and easy to use and in that no traces are left between uses. The device comprises a first module (1) for extracting at least one first fluid contained in at least one base fluid container (23), a drag, extrusion and discharge mechanism (2), a second module (3) for extracting one or more second fluids or additive fluids from one or more additive containers (24), a mixing tank (4) provided with a hole for the discharge of the final mixture, a battery-powered electronic control board (27), wherein a single stepper motor is used for applying pressure to the base fluid container and the additional fluid container(s), and the drag, extrusion and discharge mechanisms (2) are actuated.

A portable custom cosmetic pigment dispenser creates a cosmetic pigment mixture that closely matches a person's skin color. The device is constructed with an RGB sensor at one end that scans the skin and records it in the RGB color space. A processor converts the RGB information into a CYMK+W color space. In an embodiment, a user is presented with a sample of the color as determined by the processor, and has an opportunity to accept or modify the color. Specific quantities of colored pigment are selected based on the corresponding weightings in the CYMK+W space.

A tattoo ink mixing apparatus has a housing having a cavity, a plunger movable between a first position and a second position, and a dynamic member disposed in the cavity and adapted to engage with the plunger distal end. The dynamic member moves in response to movement of the plunger and alternatively creates a suction force and an expulsion force in the opening of the distal end of the housing as the plunger moves between its first and second positions.

According to an aspect of this disclosure, there is provided a fluid processing apparatus including: a housing with a space formed therein; a fluid receiving part removably coupled to the housing and receiving a fluid therein; and a conveying part accommodated in the space of the housing and coupled to the fluid receiving part to be in fluid communication therewith, wherein the conveying part includes: a pump member coupled to the fluid receiving part and providing a conveying force to the fluid; and a mixing nozzle which is in communication with the pump member, and into which the fluid flows after having passed through the pump member.
