A container for a viscous liquid, gel or paste-like substances has a closure integrated into its cap. The closure operates via a partial turn from open to closed, without separating into multiple parts. Even when open, one-way valves prevent the container contents from escaping until the flexible body of the container is squeezed to expel the contents. An outer surface of the closure is provided with brush bristles, and expelled container contents emerge among the bristles. The brush may be used to apply the expelled contents onto a surface. A separate cap may be provided to cover the bristles when the container is not in use. The bottle and a portion of the closure may be formed integrally. The bottle may have an arbitrary shape, such as a cartoon animal, and/or an opening to accept a carabiner for hanging the container.

A nail manicure method comprising applying a protective coating to portions of the surface of a finger or toe nail or a cuticle adjacent thereto where the application of nail polish is not desired, optionally manipulating the protective coating into a desired shape, and applying nail polish to regions not covered by the protective coating. Once the nail polish has at least partially dried, the protective coating is removed to reveal an underlying area with defined regions of nail polish.

A toothbrush includes a handle, a head at a distal end of the handle comprising a bristle plate, a hole extending through the bristle plate, a plurality of bristles at least partially disposed in the hole and extending from the hole in a direction away from the head, and a reservoir in fluid communication with the hole. Fluid in the reservoir enters the tuft holes and is wicked out of the head of the toothbrushes by capillaries formed between the bristles.

A nail polish application apparatus, comprising a mounting element comprising a capsule compartment adapted to receive one or more capsules containing a nail polish fluid wherein the mounting element is moveable by actuator(s) in longitudinal axis crossing a nail polish applying space and in lateral axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and is rotatable by the actuator(s) around the longitudinal axis, a pressure applying element adapted to apply pressure on a body portion of the capsule(s) installed in the capsule compartment wherein the body portion defines a reservoir containing a nail polish fluid, the pressure builds an internal pressure in the reservoir forcing extrusion of the nail polish fluid to a nail polish applying element integrated with the capsule(s), sensor(s) adapted to generate sensory data depicting the nail polish applying space and a control unit adapted to operate the actuator(s) and the pressure according to analysis of the sensory data.

An applicator in which a through-hole in a plug cannot be distorted and therefore an air flow passage for a liquid application material can be secured, and liquid leakage from a core material impregnated with a liquid application material cannot be caused upon uncapping the applicator. The applicator includes: a body; an application member housed in the body; a storage section in which the liquid application material is stored; and a plug positioned on the rear end of the application member to penetrate and hold the application member into and in a through-hole that is bored in the plug, and can allow an rear-end-side tip part of the application member to be exposed on the storage section side, wherein the shape of the through-hole is formed in such a manner that the width of a gap between the through-hole and the application member penetrating in the through-hole can be adjusted.

A toothbrush includes a handle, a head at a distal end of the handle comprising a bristle plate, a hole extending through the bristle plate, a plurality of bristles at least partially disposed in the hole and extending from the hole in a direction away from the head, and a reservoir in fluid communication with the hole. Fluid in the reservoir enters the tuft holes and is wicked out of the head of the toothbrushes by capillaries formed between the bristles.

A handheld cosmetic tool includes a body, having a center receptacle holder; and two sides substantially surrounding the center receptacle; and receptacles disposed within the center receptacle holder; hollow tool appendages pivotally attached to the body and extending from the body; tool heads to be removably secured within each of the plurality of hollow tool appendages; the tool appendages fold toward a center of the body and into a compact position.

Disclosed herein is a cosmetic container including: a body part having an empty hollow shape, and provided with a cosmetic material accommodation portion therein; a supply part disposed to pass through the material accommodation portion of the body part, provided in a hollow tube shape, and configured such that an air discharge through hole is formed on one side of a partition disposed inside a hollow tube and a material introduction through hole is formed on the other side of the partition; a pressure member coupled to communicate with the entrance of the supply part at one end of the body part, and configured to inject air into the supply part; and a touch member coupled to communicate with the exit of the supply part at the other end of the body part, and configured such that a cosmetic material introduced through the material introduction through hole is transferred thereto.

A dispensing-by-rotation liquid cosmetic container includes a pen body, a piston, a threaded rod and a threaded cylinder, which are coaxially arranged. A pen cap is sleeved on the front end of the pen body. A receiving space is provided inside the pen body. A bristle assembly is fixedly arranged at the front end of the receiving space. The pen cap is sleeved on the bristle assembly. The piston is provided in the receiving space. The piston is in an interference fit with the inner wall of the pen body and moves axially along the inner wall of the pen body, and the piston is fixedly connected to the threaded rod. The threaded rod is rotatably connected to the threaded cylinder by an internal thread. The threaded cylinder and the pen body are axially snap-fitted and rotate relative to each other in the circumferential direction.

Provided is a cosmetic liquid applicator that allows easy determination as to the completion state of replacement of an application liquid tank. The cosmetic liquid applicator includes a front barrel to which an application liquid tank for storing a liquid cosmetic to be fed to an applying part is attached and a rear barrel attached to the front barrel to cover the application liquid tank. The front barrel has on its peripheral surface a male threaded portion and a first engagement portion formed in the circumferential direction and located in the rear of the male threaded portion while the rear barrel has on its inner circumferential surface a female threaded portion to mate with the male threaded portion and a second engagement portion to be engaged with the first engagement portion.
