[0001] This disclosure relates to a cosmetic container, and more particularly to a high-capacity
cosmetic brush.
[0002] As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional cosmetic brush includes a main body 1, a front
cover 2, and a rear cover 3. The main body 1 includes a liquid storage cavity 4 disposed
between the front cover 2 and the rear cover 3. The cosmetic brush further includes
a liquid conveying pipe 5, a brush sleeve 6, and a brush hair 7. A piston 9 is disposed
in the liquid storage cavity 4. A threaded rod 8 is disposed in the rear cover 3 and
connects to the piston 9. When in use, the rear cover 3 is rotated to drive the threaded
rod 8. The threaded rod 8 pushes the piston to move in the liquid storage cavity 4
to push the cosmetic liquid to flow to the liquid conveying pipe 5. To ensure the
full use of the cosmetic liquid, the moving distance B of the threaded rod 8 must
be greater than the length A of the liquid storage cavity 4. This reduces the storage
capacity of the liquid storage cavity 4.
[0003] Disclosed is a cosmetic brush that comprises two or three threaded sleeves and has
a relatively large material storage capacity.
[0004] Disclosed is a cosmetic brush, comprising: a main body; a front cover; a rear cover;
a brush assembly; and a piston. The main body comprises a front part, a rear part,
and a liquid storage cavity disposed between the front part and the rear part. The
front cover is disposed on the front part and the rear cover is disposed on the rear
part; the brush assembly is disposed in the front part; the piston is disposed in
the rear part; the brush assembly and the piston are disposed at two ends of the liquid
storage cavity, respectively; the rear cover is rotatably disposed relative to the
main body; the rear cover is provided with a rear cover sleeve, and the rear cover
sleeve is fixed on the rear cover; the rear cover comprises a threaded rod and a plurality
of threaded sleeves; the plurality of threaded sleeves is telescopic and is hinged
to one another via screw threads, and comprises an innermost threaded sleeve and an
outermost threaded sleeve; the threaded rod comprises a first end and a second end;
the first end of the threaded rod abuts against the piston, and the second end of
the threaded rod is in threaded connection to an innermost threaded sleeve of the
at least one threaded sleeve; the at least one threaded sleeve are hinged to one another
via screw threads; an outermost threaded sleeve of the at least one threaded sleeve
is in threaded connection to the rear cover; and the at least one threaded sleeve
is unable to rotate along with the rear cover circumferentially.

comprising second external screws; the inner surface of the rear cover can comprise
second internal screws corresponding to the second external screws.
[0010] As an improvement, the rear cover can comprise a plurality of circumferentially-disposed
ratchets; and the ratchets can be disposed between the main body and the rear cover.
[0011] Advantages of the cosmetic brush according to embodiments of the disclosure are summarized
as follows. When two or three threaded sleeves are employed, compared with conventional
cosmetic brushes with the same height and diameters as that of the cosmetic brush
of the embodiment, the threaded sleeves of the cosmetic brush of the embodiment occupy
less space but have larger extension distance, and the storage capacity of the cosmetic
brush is greatly increased.

[0014] To further illustrate, examples detailing a cosmetic brush are described below. It
should be noted that the following examples are intended to describe and not to limit
the description.
[0015] As shown in FIGS. 2-9, a cosmetic brush comprises a main body 1, a front cover 2,
a rear cover, a brush assembly, a piston 7. The main body 1 comprises a front part
and a rear part. The front cover is disposed on the front part and the rear cover
is disposed on the rear part. The main body 1 comprises a liquid storage cavity 3
(the capital letter A represents the length of the liquid storage cavity) disposed
between the front part and the rear part. The brush assembly is disposed in the front
part. The piston 7 is disposed in the rear part. The brush assembly and the piston
are disposed at two ends of the liquid storage cavity 3, respectively. The rear cover
8 is rotatably disposed relative to main body 1. The rear cover 8 is provided with
a rear cover sleeve 9. The rear cover sleeve 9 is fixed on the rear cover 8 axially
and radially.
[0016] The rear cover 8 comprises a threaded rod 10 and at least one threaded sleeve. The
threaded rod comprises a first end and a second end. The threaded sleeve can be one
or more as needed. The first end of the threaded rod abuts against the piston, and
the second end of the threaded rod is in threaded connection to the at least one threaded
sleeve. When a plurality of threaded sleeves is provided, the threaded sleeves are
telescopic and are hinged to one another via screw threads, and the second end of
the threaded rod is in threaded connection to the innermost threaded sleeve. The outermost
threaded sleeve is in threaded connection to the rear cover. The at least one threaded
sleeve is unable to rotate along with the rear cover circumferentially.
[0017] The outermost threaded rod comprises a plurality of axially-distributed grooves (not
shown in the figures), and the rear cover comprises a plurality of axially-distributed
ribs (not shown in the figures) corresponding to the grooves. This prevents the rotation
of the at least one threaded sleeve along with the rear cover circumferentially. The
piston comprises a polygonal depression 18. The first end of the threaded rod comprises
a polygonal terminal 19 corresponding to the polygonal depression 18. The polygonal
terminal 19 is inserted and clamped in the polygonal depression 18, thus preventing
the threaded rod from revolving on its axis circumferentially. The threaded rod can
only move axially.
[0018] The brush assembly comprises a liquid conveying pipe 4 communicating with the liquid
storage cavity, a brush hair 5 encircling the liquid conveying pipe, and a brush sleeve
6 sleeving the brush hair. Optionally, the brush assembly can be in other forms, for
example, comprise an applicator.
[0019] The second end of the threaded rod comprises a first protruding connector 12 comprising
first external screws 13; the inner surface of the threaded sleeve comprises first
internal screws 14 (the capital letter C represents the axial length of the first
internal screws) corresponding to the first external screws 13. The threaded rod engages
with the threaded sleeve via the first external screws and the first internal screws.
[0020] The threaded sleeve comprises a second protruding connector 15 comprising second
external screws 16; the inner surface of the rear cover comprises second internal
screws 17 (the capital letter B represents the axial length of the second internal
screws) corresponding to the second external screws 16. The threaded sleeve engages
with the rear cover via the second external screws and the second internal screws.
[0021] The rear cover 8 comprises a plurality of circumferentially-disposed ratchets 20.
The ratchets 20 are disposed between the main body and the rear cover, and can prevent
the rear cover from rotating reversely.
[0022] When in use, clockwise rotate the rear cover sleeve 9, the rear cover 8 rotates with
the rear cover sleeve 9, and the threaded sleeve 11 and the threaded rod 10 move in
the rear cover to push the piston to move in the liquid storage cavity 3, as shown
in FIG. 4. The cosmetic liquid is squeezed out. When the moving distance of the piston
equals to the length B of the second internal screws of the rear cover, the piston
temporarily stops moving. Continue clockwise rotating the rear cover sleeve 9, the
threaded sleeve 11 rotates synchronously, the threaded rod 10 moves axially in the
threaded sleeve 11, to push the piston to continue moving in the liquid storage cavity
3 until the moving distance of the piston reaches the length C of the first internal
screws 14 of the threaded sleeve, as shown in FIG. 5. Thus, the cosmetic liquid is
completely squeezed out.
[0023] Optionally, the threaded sleeve can be one or more. When two or three threaded sleeves
are employed, compared with conventional cosmetic brushes with the same height and
diameters as that of the cosmetic brush of the embodiment, the threaded sleeves of
the cosmetic brush of the embodiment occupy less space but have larger extension distance,
and the storage capacity of the cosmetic brush is greatly increased.
