First Claim
Patent Images
1. An applicator tip assembly for use in an appliance for applying skin formulations, comprising:
- a base portion, sufficiently rigid to be insertable onto and removable from a drive end of a motor for the appliance and further structurally configured and arranged to mate with a correspondingly configured drive end of the motor so that it moves with a linear oscillating action with the motor drive end toward and away from the skin of a user; and
a tip portion which is sufficiently soft to provide comfortable contact with the facial skin of a user, wherein the tip portion includes only one concave forward surface without an opening therethrough, circular in cross-section, configured to receive skin formulations, and wherein the base portion and the tip portion are so securely mated that they move together by the oscillating, linear action of the motor.
