Dispenser With A Cam Path
First Claim
1. A cosmetic dispenser comprising:
- a lower valve having a reservoir for containing a product, the lower valve having at least one aperture;
an upper valve coupled to the lower valve, the upper valve having at least one aperture and at least one raised section;
at least one cam path located on the lower valve;
at least one mating guiding pin located on the upper valve coupled to the at least one cam path;
a collar with a helical guide slot located on the collar of the dispenser, the collar covers the lower valve and the upper valve;
the dispenser being selectively guidable in a spiral motion between;
i) an upward position for the dispenser to apply the product, andii) a downward position to store the dispenser; and
an applicator coupled to the upper valve for applying the product.

Abstract
A dispenser includes a cam path and a mating guide pin to provide a closed position or an open position for the dispenser. The dispenser is selectively rotatable causing the mating guide pin to travel along a cam path to rotate between slanted, unslanted, and slanted downward positions. The mating guide pin in the cam path causes the open position to allow product delivery and causes the closed position to provide a seal to prevent product leakage. In an implementation, the dispenser is selectively guidable along a helical guide slot to an upward position for product application and to a downward position to retract the applicator. When the dispenser is selectively rotatable along the helical guide slot to a retracted position, the dispenser is in a stored state.

12. A cosmetic dispenser comprising:
-
a lower valve having a reservoir for containing a product, the lower valve having at least one aperture; an upper valve coupled to the lower valve, the upper valve having at least one aperture and at least one raised section; at least one mating guide pin located on the lower valve; at least one cam path coupled to the at least one mating guide pin located on the upper valve; the dispenser being selectively guidable in a spiral motion with the mating guide pin travelling along the cam path between; i) an upward slanted position for the dispenser to be in an open state, wherein the at least one aperture in the lower value is selectively alignable with the at least one aperture in the upper valve, and ii) a flat unslanted position for the dispenser to be in a closed state, wherein the at least one aperture in the lower valve is selectively alignable with the at least one raised section in the upper valve; and an applicator coupled to the upper valve for applying the product. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
