A lip balm receptacle, comprising: a curved, multi-layered upper portion, formed by a single two-step overmolding injection process. The curved, multi-layered upper portion comprising: i) an interior layer having an outer surface that identifies the lip balm flavor contained in the lip balm receptacle; and ii) an exterior layer. The exterior layer may have a) an outer surface with a different texture, material, or visual appearance than the outer surface of the interior layer; and b) a durable cutout design that comprises at least one aperture through said exterior layer exposing the outer surface of the interior layer.

A device for dispensing a cosmetic product may include a base, a screw, a piston, a sealing member, and a body. The screw and piston are threadingly engaged such that rotation of the body and base in opposite directions results in the screw and piston being moved upwards into the body, driving the cosmetic product out through an opening in an upper surface of the body.

A spill proof denture container for protecting a denture from environment pollution and microorganisms is provided. The spill proof denture container includes a lid with internal threads in the inner side, a lower portion with external threads, and a retractable strainer with holes. The lid is adapted to open and close the spill proof denture container. The internal threads of the lid screw over the external threads of the lower portion to close the spill proof denture container. The retractable strainer includes a handle to withdraw from or place back the retractable strainer to the lower portion of the spill proof denture container. When the retractable strainer is removed out from the lower portion, the tiny holes allow proper drainage of liquid from the retractable strainer to the lower portion of the spill proof denture container.

A fluid dispensing apparatus and method of operation is provided. The fluid dispensing apparatus has a housing, a central control unit positioned at least partially within said housing, the central control unit being in communication with a user interface. The apparatus houses a plurality of cartridges located at least partially within said housing for storing a plurality of liquid products and have an opening for the output of liquid. A plurality of engagement racks are within the housing, and the cartridges engage with the engagement racks to control output of the liquid based on commands from said central control unit. The apparatus also has a mixing dish for collecting output of the liquid products and removes excess fluid from cartridge openings during engagement of the apparatus.

A dispenser includes a container designed to receive a cartridge with an open or partially open end, the cartridge featuring an internal cavity for storing a product and has open or partially open ends. Within the cavity, a movable platform engages the product to control its expulsion facilitated by a force exerting element that is inherently biased to move the platform. The dispenser also includes a roller at the container's end, which selectively restricts or permits product expulsion, allowing user control over the dispensing rate.

The device comprises a container that is transparent, at least in part, and that contains a transparent cosmetic composition; a cap that is suitable for closing the container, preventing any of the composition from leaving the container; and an applicator that is fastened to the cap, and that includes at least one transparent portion that extends into the composition when the container is closed by the cap. The transparent portion of the applicator and the composition have respective refractive indices that present a difference that is less than or equal to 0.075, preferably less than or equal to 0.05, or even less than or equal to 0.03.

Disclosed is a container for a pump dispenser, the container comprising: a body defining a chamber for storing a product and defining an opening at a first end of the chamber through which the product is dispensable from the chamber; and a protrusion extending from the body into the chamber at a second end of the chamber opposite from the first end of the chamber, the protrusion having a sharp distal end in the chamber. Also disclosed is a refill container comprising a body enveloping a cavity storing an oral, personal or home care composition, wherein the composition comprises water in an amount of less than 98% by weight, based on a total weight of the composition.

Cosmetic dispensers including a base, for example, having a cavity and an interior surface where the interior surface includes a spiral recess. The cosmetic dispenser may further include a pedestal assembly received within the cavity of the base. The pedestal assembly can include a pedestal having a base plate at a first distal end of the pedestal and a cup member at a second distal end opposite the first distal end. The cup member may be configured to receive a cosmetic that extends above the cup member. The sleeve may be movably received within the cavity, and can include at least one engaging element coupled to the spiral recess. The engaging element may be configured to slide along the spiral recess to raise and lower the sleeve. In embodiments, the sleeve is configured to completely surround the cosmetic in a raised first position, and is configured to at least partially not surround the cosmetic in a lowered second position.

A dispensing article having a piston with indicium provides messaging to users.

According to an embodiment of the present invention is provided a container. The container includes: a first container part for storing a given content therein; a second container part having couplers disposed on a top thereof in such a way as to surroundingly fix the outer peripheral surface of the first container part thereto; and a locking part rotatably coupled to the couplers in such a way as to surround the outer peripheral surfaces of the couplers, wherein each coupler has a pressurizer bent inward therefrom, if the locking part rotates in a first direction with respect to the couplers, to allow the outer peripheral surface of the first container part to be pressurizedly fixed thereto.
