Abstract (en)

[origin: US5738067A] PCT No. PCT/EP95/01838 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 21, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 21, 1997 PCT Filed May 16, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/31121 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 23, 1995A cosmetics container is provided having a housing (1) which is coverable by a cap (2). The housing protectively contains a cosmetic or medicinal preparation such as a lipstick or ointment which can be extruded for application to the skin. In solid lipsticks, problems often arise as a result their temperature-dependent characteristics. To avoid such problems, the container of the invention is for use with a pumpable fluid preparation in the form of a paste or viscous liquid. The container acts as a dispenser, having a push-button actuator (10, 20') operable to pump the preparation in a skin contact element (31) with an applicator surface (32) and a dispensing valve (33). In a particularly useful embodiment, the skin applicator surface (31) is arranged in a plane which is inclined in relation to a longitudinal axis (x-x) of the housing (1).
