Abstract

A separable nail polish container having base with a paint material housed therein, a base cover selectively and removably coupled to the base portion, and an applicator brush selectively and removably coupled to the base cover. The base defines an upper opening of a diameter sufficient to allow refilling of a paint material, i.e., a more viscous gel or paint material, wherein the base cover can be removed to expose the upper opening. The applicator brush is insertable and removably within the base cover and includes a plurality of bristles spanning toward a bottom wall of the base.

Claims

1. A separable nail polish container comprising:

a base having;

a bottom wall with a bottom outer surface and a bottom inner wall surface opposing the bottom outer surface; and

a sidewall surrounding the bottom wall and including a sidewall outer surface, a sidewall inner surface, and an upper end defining an upper sidewall opening with an opening diameter, the sidewall inner surface and bottom inner wall surface defining a container cavity housing a paint material therein and having a maximum container cavity diameter, the opening diameter at least 50% the maximum container cavity diameter;

a base cover having a lower sidewall selectively and removably coupled to the sidewall outer surface of the base in a threaded configuration, having an upper wall directly coupled to the lower sidewall of the base cover and covering the upper sidewall opening, and having an upper sidewall directly coupled to the upper wall of the base cover and defining an enclosed applicator channel; and

an applicator brush having a handle portion with a top end and a bottom end opposing the top end of the applicator brush, the applicator brush having an applicator stem coupled thereto, extending passed the bottom end of the handle portion, disposed within the enclosed applicator channel, and including a distal end with a plurality of bristles coupled thereto, the handle portion selectively and removably coupled to the upper sidewall in a threaded configuration.

2. The separable nail polish container according to claim 1, wherein:

the bottom inner wall surface is of a concave shape.

3. The separable nail polish container according to claim 1, wherein the bottom outer surface further comprises:

an enclosed recess disposed thereon, wherein the bottom outer surface is of a spherical shape.

4. The separable nail polish container according to claim 1, wherein:

the upper sidewall of the base cover is disposed in an orthogonal orientation with respect to an upper surface of the upper wall.

5. The separable nail polish container according to claim 1, wherein:

the upper sidewall of the base cover is disposed in an upright orientation with respect to an upper surface of the upper wall.

6. The separable nail polish container according to claim 1, wherein:

the base, the base cover, and the applicator brush are selectively and removably coupled to one another in a watertight configuration.

7. The separable nail polish container according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of bristles further comprises:

a distal end disposed proximal to the bottom inner wall surface of the bottom wall.

8. The separable nail polish container according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the lower sidewall and upper wall of the base further comprises:

a friction-inducing material disposed thereon.

9. The separable nail polish container according to claim 1, further comprising:

an annular-shaped paint barrier disposed on the upper surface of the upper wall, the annular-shaped paint barrier defining, with the handle portion of the applicator brush, an annular-shaped channel surrounding the handle portion of the applicator brush.

10. The separable nail polish container according to claim 1, wherein the handle portion of the applicator brush further comprises:

a labeling member selectively and removably coupled and frictionally retained thereto.

18. The separable nail polish container according to claim 1, wherein:

the upper sidewall of the base cover is disposed in an orthogonal orientation with respect to an upper surface of the upper wall.

11. A separable nail polish container comprising:

a base having;

a bottom wall with a bottom outer surface and a bottom inner wall surface opposing the bottom outer surface; and

a sidewall surrounding the bottom wall and including a sidewall outer surface 206, a sidewall inner surface, and an upper end 300 defining an upper sidewall opening 302, the sidewall inner surface and bottom inner wall surface defining a container cavity;

a base cover having a lower sidewall selectively and removably coupled to the sidewall outer surface of the base in a watertight configuration, having an upper wall directly coupled to the lower sidewall of the base cover and covering the upper sidewall opening, and having an upper sidewall directly coupled to the upper wall of the base cover and defining an enclosed applicator channel; and

an applicator brush having a handle portion 304 with a top end and a bottom end opposing the top end of the applicator brush, the applicator brush 106 having an applicator stem coupled thereto, extending passed the bottom end of the handle portion, disposed within the enclosed applicator channel, and including a distal end with a plurality of bristles coupled thereto, each having a distal end disposed proximal to the bottom inner wall surface of the bottom wall, the handle portion selectively and removably coupled to the upper sidewall in a watertight configuration.

12. The separable nail polish container according to claim 11, wherein:

the distal end of the plurality of bristles coupled thereto, each having a disposed proximal to the bottom outer wall surface of the bottom wall.

13. The separable nail polish container according to claim 11, wherein:

the upper sidewall opening of the upper end includes an opening diameter; and

the container cavity includes a maximum container cavity diameter, wherein the opening diameter is at least 50% the maximum container cavity diameter.

14. The separable nail polish container according to claim 11, wherein:

the opening diameter is at least 80% the maximum container cavity diameter.

15. The separable nail polish container according to claim 11, wherein:

the container cavity houses a paint material therein.

16. The separable nail polish container according to claim 11, wherein:

the lower sidewall of the base cover is selectively and removably coupled to the sidewall outer surface of the base in a threaded configuration; and

the handle portion of the applicator brush is selectively and removably coupled to the upper sidewall of the base cover in a threaded configuration.

17. The separable nail polish container according to claim 11, wherein:

the bottom inner wall surface is of a concave shape.
