A method for operating a drink maker within a vehicle using a single hand, the method comprising: a. providing a stirrer; b. placing a cup on a seating associated with a heating mechanism, said placed cup containing a liquid and an essence, wherein the liquid and the essence are separated by a ring-shaped partition; c. automatically sensing a presence of the placed cup on said seating; d. automatically turning on a heating mechanism for warming said liquid; e. automatically sensing a temperature relating to the temperature of said liquid; f. automatically turning off said heating mechanism upon sensing a first predetermined temperature; g. said partition enabling mixing of said liquid and said essence upon warming to a second predetermined temperature, said second predetermined temperature is lower than said first predetermined temperature; h. inserting said stirrer through the ring when the liquid is at the second predetermined temperature; i. stirring the liquid with said stirrer, and j. removing said placed cup from said seating.

An applicator system comprises a container and an applicator. The container is configured to contain a substance to be applied using the applicator. The container is further configured to support the applicator in an accessible orientation in use. For example, the container can comprise a first chamber that is open at an end thereof. The first chamber can be arranged to receive and locate at least an active end of the applicator therein and to hold the applicator in the accessible orientation in use. The container can also comprise a second chamber that is arranged to receive and hold therein the substance to be contacted by the active end of the applicator in use.

A cosmetic vessel includes a vessel body for accommodating cosmetic contents; a brush rod guide member of a cylindrical member, the upper and lower parts of which are opened, which is provided with a flange protrusion laid on the opening portion of the vessel body at a center, an upper cylindrical tube formed on the upper portion of the flange protrusion, and a lower cylindrical tube formed at a lower portion of the flange protrusion, an inner diameter of which is narrowed gradually; and a shoulder member of a cylindrical member, the upper and lower parts of which are opened and the upper and lower sides thereof are stepped with respect to a middle portion thereof.

The present invention relates to a cosmetics container simultaneously preventing leftover cosmetics therein and having an airtight function and, more specifically, to a cosmetics container simultaneously preventing leftover cosmetics therein and having an airtight function, the container having a rotating member rotatably coupled to a container main body, having a cosmetics guide tube extending from the lower side of the rotating member so as to be inserted into the container main body, and having threads formed on the outer periphery of the cosmetics guide tube so as to allow a piston to be screw-coupled to the outer side thereof such that the piston screw-coupled to the cosmetics guide tube of the rotating member pushes the cosmetics accommodated in the container main body up into the cosmetics guide tube while moving downwards by the rotation of the rotating member, and thus the cosmetics can be applied to an applicator even if a brush rod is not inserted into the lower part of the container main body. The present invention provides a cosmetics container simultaneously preventing leftover cosmetics therein and having an airtight function, the container comprising: a container main body in which cosmetics are accommodated; a rotating member rotatably coupled to the container main body, and having a cosmetics guide tube extending from the lower side thereof so as to be inserted into the container main body; a container cap for opening and closing the container main body; a brush rod extending from the lower side of the container cap so as to be inserted into the cosmetics guide tube, and having an applicator provided at the end portion thereof; and a piston screw-coupled to the outer periphery of the cosmetics guide tube of the rotating member while the outer peripheral surface thereof comes in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the container main body.
