Cosmetic container having a clean finish

Abstract

A cosmetic container is provided for a liquid product such as nail polish or lip gloss, said container comprising a container reservoir and a neck portion defining an opening and forming a cylindrical passage to the reservoir. The neck portion includes an upper surface comprising a raised lip immediately adjacent to the opening and terminating in a transition extending down and out towards the outer surface. The neck portion further includes an outer surface upon which are disposed outer threads. Closure of the container and access to the liquid product stored therein is accomplished by use of a hollow cap comprising a top having a roof and a downwardly extending wall having internal threads disposed thereon to engage the outer threads on the neck portion, and a brush extending from said roof, said brush comprising an elongated stem extending downwardly from said roof and terminating in bristles mounted thereto at the end of said stem.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A cosmetic container for liquid products including: 
 a container reservoir;    a neck portion defining an opening and forming a cylindrical passageway into said reservoir, said neck portion having an outer surface and an upper surface including a raised lip immediately adjacent to said opening and terminating in a transition, said neck portion further including outer threads disposed on said outer surface; and    a hollow cap including a top having a roof and a downwardly extending wall with internal threads disposed thereon to engage the outer threads on said neck portion and a brush extending from said roof, said brush including an elongated stem extending downwardly from said roof and terminating in bristles mounted thereto at the end of said stem.    
     
     
         2 . The cosmetic container of  claim 1 , wherein said transition has a rectangular, cross-sectional shape.  
     
     
         3 . The cosmetic container of  claim 1 , wherein said transition has a rounded, cross-sectional shape.  
     
     
         4 . The cosmetic container of  claim 1 , further including an interior container mass disposed within said container, said interior container mass being higher in molecular attraction than said outer surface, wherein the molecules making up said liquid products are attracted to said interior container mass and thereby migrate toward said mass.  
     
     
         5 . A cosmetic container for liquid products including: 
 a container reservoir;    a neck portion defining an opening and forming a cylindrical passageway into said reservoir, said neck portion having an outer surface and an upper surface including a raised lip immediately adjacent to said opening and terminating in a transition, said neck portion further including outer threads disposed on said outer surface; and    a hollow cap including a top having a roof and a downwardly extending wall having internal threads disposed thereon to engage the outer threads on said neck portion.
