Fluid reservoir assembly
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A fluid reservoir assembly, comprising:
- a housing including a plurality of stops;
a stick insertable and removable from the housing along a path;
a support formed separately from the housing and received within the housing, wherein one of the support and the housing includes an inward projection and the other of the support and the housing includes a recess complementary to the projection, the projection being received in the recess;
a wiper received within the housing and supported by the support, the wiper resiliently biased toward the path; and
an actuator rotatably connected to the housing and configured to rotate relative to the housing between a first position and a second position without moving along the path, the actuator including a radially-outward projection, rotation of the actuator being limited by the plurality of stops, wherein rotation of the actuator from the first position to the second position causes the wiper to move away from the path without causing rotation of the wiper and the support relative to the housing, and wherein the actuator is formed separately from the housing and the support.

Abstract
A bottle assembly has a bottle for storing a fluid, such as a cosmetic fluid. An applicator for applying the fluid is configured to be insertable and removable from the bottle along a path. A sealing body is configured to seal the bottle. The sealing body has a channel width movable between a first width and a second width. The first width is large enough to accommodate the applicator and the second width is smaller than the first width. The channel is resiliently biased toward the second width.

7. A fluid reservoir assembly, comprising:
-
a housing having an opening; a stick removably secured over the opening and extending into the housing; a support formed separately from the housing and received within the housing; a wiper mounted on the support within the housing, the wiper resiliently biased toward the stick; and a rotatable actuator rotatably attached to an end of the housing, wherein rotation of the rotatable actuator relative to the housing causes the wiper to move in a direction away from the stick without causing rotation of the wiper and the support relative to the housing. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A fluid reservoir assembly, comprising:
-
a housing; a stick configured to be insertable and removable from the housing along a path; a support formed separately from the housing and received within the housing; a wiper received within the housing and supported by the support, the wiper resiliently biased toward the path; and a handle rotatably connected to the housing, wherein rotation of the handle relative to the housing causes the wiper to move away from the path without causing rotation of the wiper and the support relative to the housing. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
