Definitions

  • the field of the present invention generally relates to cosmetics and jewelry.
  • a person adorns jewelry to look and feel better.
  • a person applies cosmetics. Once the cosmetics have been applied, however, a person typically places the holder containing a respective cosmetic back into the drawer or purse where the cosmetic was originally found. As such, a person usually purchases their favorite cosmetics in pairs of two. One cosmetic is kept in their makeup drawer while the other is kept in their purse. This is expensive. This practice becomes even more costly when the cosmetic kept in the purse is inevitably lost and must be replaced.
  • Jewelry on the other hand, is purchased only once. Furthermore, jewelry is kept on the person at all times and is not lost as cosmetics are. Therefore, a device which combines the functionality of a cosmetic with the qualities of a piece of jewelry is desired.
  • the present invention is directed to a cosmetic device having a holder and a cover.
  • the holder includes a base and a first and second wall extending substantially normally therefrom to define a chamber for holding a cosmetic.
  • the holder has a rib circurnferentially surrounding each wall.
  • the cover is adapted to enclose the chamber, keeping its contents free of outside contaminants.
  • the cover is attachable to the holder by a variety of different means.
  • the cover is attached to the holder via a pin arrangement adapted to swivel the cover about the holder.
  • the cover can be attached to the holder by clasps.
  • the cover includes a first arm and an opposing second arm extending away from the cover. Each arm includes a clasp.
  • the rib has a first clasp holder and an opposing second clasp holder formed therein for matingly engaging with the respective clasp of the cover.
  • the cover can be attached to the holder via a hinge arrangement.
  • the cosmetic device is preferably a heart-shaped locket packaged as a cosmetic toy unit with heat resistant lip gloss contained within the chamber of the holder, a necklace engageable with a handle on the holder for supporting the cosmetic locket around the neck of the wearer, and a faux fur pouch for carrying the cosmetic locket and necklace. Rings, bracelets, and pots may similarly contain lip gloss and be packaged as a unit with the cosmetic locket.
  • Fig. 1 is a top planar view of the holder and cover of the cosmetic device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view of the holder taken along Section 2-2 of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 is a side planar view of the cover shown in Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 4 is a top planar view of the holder and cover of the cosmetic device according to another embodiment of the present invention.
  • Fig. 5 is a cross sectional view of the holder and cover taken along Section 5-5 of
  • Fig. 6 is a top planar view of the holder shown in Fig. 4.
  • Fig. 7 is a cross sectional view of the holder taken along Section 7-7 of Fig. 6.
  • Fig. 8 is a side planar view of the holder shown in Fig. 4.
  • Fig. 9 is a top planar view of the cover shown in Fig. 4.
  • Fig. 10 is a side planar view of the cover shown in Fig. 4.
  • the cosmetic device 10 is preferably a heart-shaped locket.
  • the shape of the cosmetic device 10 should not be limited to a heart, however.
  • Other shapes include geometric shapes such as a diamond, a pentagon, a hexagon, a circle, a triangle, a square, a rectangle, a cylinder, as well as non- geometric shapes such as a star, a flower, a peace-sign, a cross, a butterfly, an eye, a vase, a key, an apple, a gift-wrapped box, a starfish, a bell, a leaf, and the like.
  • the cosmetic device 10 need not be limited to one particular piece of jewelry such as a locket. Other pieces of jewelry include rings, bracelets, and pots.
  • the cosmetic device 10 has a holder 12, a cover 14, and a means for attaching 16 the cover 14 to the holder 12.
  • the holder 12 includes a base 22 and first and second walls 24, 26 extending substantially normally therefrom to define a chamber 28 for holding a cosmetic (not shown).
  • the holder 12 has a rib 27 circumferentially surrounding each wall 24, 26.
  • the rib 27 may have sparkles 32 (shown in Fig. 4 only) to enhance the overall decorative appearance of the cosmetic device 10.
  • the cover 14 may include an indicia 38 (shown in Fig. 4 only) thereon.
  • the indicia 38 is an embossed butterfly.
  • the cosmetic device 10 has a handle 18 defining a slot 19 for threading a necklace (not shown) therethrough.
  • the means for attaching 16 include, but are not limited to, a pin arrangement, a clasp arrangement, or a hinge arrangement. Figs. 1-3 illustrate the preferred pin arrangement. Figs. 4-10 illustrate the clasp arrangement.

  • Each arm 34, 36 has a clasp 20, 21.
  • Each clasp holder 30, 31 is adapted to matingly engage with its respective clasp 20, 21 , as best seen in Fig. 5.
  • this means for attaching 16 the cover 14 to the holder 12 is substantially similar to the clasp arrangement, except a hinge replaces one of the above-identified clasp configurations.
  • the cover 12 is attached to the holder 14 via a live hinge between a clasp holder 30, 31 and a respective clasp 20, 21.
  • a hinge comprising a metal pin connecting a clasp holder 30, 31 to a respective clasp 20, 21 may also be employed.
  • both the holder 12 and the cover 14 are preferably made of a clear plastic. If the plastic is tinted, however, lavender is the preferred tint. Clear plastic advantageously enables the wearer to view the true color of the lip gloss (not shown) contained within the chamber 28.
  • injection molding techniques commonly known in the art are employed to produce both the holder 12 and the cover 14.
  • the material choice of plastic is important due to its light weight and ability to insulate the lip gloss from the body heat of the wearer of the cosmetic device 10.
  • the preferred cosmetic locket is 1.5 inches high, 2 inches wide, and .5 inches deep. Importantly, these dimensions promote child safety because a young child will not be able to swallow a cosmetic locket manufactured to these preferred specifications.
  • lip gloss is injected into the chamber 28.
  • the necklace Prior to shipment to market, the necklace is inserted through the slot 19 in the handle 18.
  • the necklace is preferably a 24 inch matte silver chain, permitting the cosmetic locket to be worn as a piece of jewelry with or without the use of lip gloss.
  • the lip gloss is preferably heat or temperature resistant to prevent melting and potential leakage of the lip gloss from the cosmetic device 10.
  • the lip gloss has a sweet-flavored taste and smell, incorporating pearl essence particles that shimmer.
  • the color of the lip gloss may vary. All the ingredients of the lip gloss are Federal Drug Administration approved.
  • the cosmetic device 10 preferably a heart-shaped cosmetic locket
  • the pouch preferably 3 inches high and 3 inches wide, may vary in color.
  • the cosmetic locket can be packaged with a ring, bracelet and pots containing lip gloss for a complete set of functional jewelry items. In operation, the user opens the cosmetic device 10 shown in Figs. 1-3 by prying the cover 14 away from the holder 12 proximate the protrusion 17.
  • the cosmetic device 10 shown in Figs. 1-3 remains in one piece even while opened, thus promoting child safety and preventing loss of the cover 14.
  • each clasp 20, 21 is conveniently large enough such that a fingernail may be used to pry the respective clasp 20, 21 up and away from the holder 12.
  • the user merely pries away a clasp 20, 21 of the cover 14 away from the holder until the cover 14 is substantially normal to the holder 12 at the live or metal hinge configuration.
  • the instant invention provides its wearer the luxury of wearing a beautiful piece of jewelry and the convenience of having lip gloss accessible at any given time.
  • the lip gloss adorned as a piece of jewelry it solves the common problem of losing and replacing cosmetics.
  • costs are saved because the instant invention provides the wearer with a piece of jewelry, lip gloss, and a miniature purse in a complete package.
