Cosmetic brush applicator system

Abstract

An integrated cosmetic brush applicator system having both a brush section and reservoir section in which the brush can be pushed to an extended applicator position moveable out from the brush section an automatically pushed back into a retracted storage position when the brush section is tightly connected to the reservoir section. A push button assembly enables the brush to manually be pushed out from its retracted to an extended position permitting the brush to be used to apply cosmetic material. The brush is in contact with the reservoir section to allow cosmetic material to coat the brush when the system is in the closed position.

1 . A cosmetic brush applicator system comprising a brush section and a reservoir section,
 said brush and reservoir sections comprising connecting means to connect said sections to be a single unit and to separate said sections to permit said brush section to apply cosmetic material,   said brush section comprising a brush housing and movable button assembly to push said brush from a retracted to an extended position,   said brush being held in said brush section in a retracted position when said brush and reservoir sections are connected together,   said movable button assembly connected to said brush to allow a user to manually move said brush to said extended position,   said reservoir section comprising a compartment holding said cosmetic material to be applied by said brush,   said cosmetic material being transferred from said reservoir section to said brush when said brush and reservoir sections are connected together, and   said button assembly comprising a bearing surface and said reservoir section comprising a surface which bears against said bearing surface to push said brush from said extended to said retracted positions as said brush and reservoir sections are connected together.   
     
     
         2 . A cosmetic brush applicator system as in  claim 1 , wherein said cosmetic material is a powder. 
     
     
         3 . A cosmetic brush applicator system as in  claim 1 , wherein said reservoir section comprises a cosmetic material storage compartment, a cosmetic material applicator cavity and a sifter located between said storage compartment and said applicator cavity, cosmetic material passing through said sifter to be available in said applicator cavity to permit said brush to acquire said cosmetic material when said brush and reservoir sections are connected together. 
     
     
         4 . A cosmetic brush applicator system as in  claim 3 , wherein said connecting means tightly connects said brush and reservoir sections and enables said unit to be shaken, permitting cosmetic powder to pass from said storage compartment through said sifter into said applicator cavity to be deposited on said brush. 
     
     
         5 . A cosmetic brush applicator system as in  claim 1 , wherein said movable button assembly comprises a flange which slides along and bears against an inner surface of said brush housing. 
     
     
         6 . A cosmetic brush applicator system as in  claim 1 , further comprising a removable end cap covering said compartment of said reservoir section permitting cosmetic material to be loaded into said compartment. 
     
     
         7 . A cosmetic brush applicator system as in  claim 1 , further comprising magnetic elements attached on opposite sides of said system for magnetically coupling to cosmetic containers which themselves have magnetic couplings connected on opposite sides thereof.
