- the system may similarly accommodate such larger quantities therein.
- a cosmetic and/or skincare sampling system 100 includes a cosmetic and/or skincare product 101, a container 102, an applicator 120, and any number of product disks 140. While the illustrated examples depict a lipstick product, in other examples, the product 101 may be any number or combination of different cosmetic and/or skincare products.
- the product 101 may be in the form of a foundation, a concealer, an eyeshadow, a bronzer, a brow, a solid serum, a solid SPF product, a skincare item, a solid face balm, a bp balm, an applicator head such as a sponge, a brush, a solid blush, a solid contouring stick, an impregnated sponge or carrier capable of retaining a liquid skincare or cosmetic product, or a semi-solid skincare or cosmetic product.
- an applicator head such as a sponge, a brush, a solid blush, a solid contouring stick, an impregnated sponge or carrier capable of retaining a liquid skincare or cosmetic product, or a semi-solid skincare or cosmetic product.
- the container 102 includes a base 104 having an interior cavity 104a, a lid 106, and a hinge 105 that rotatably couples the lid 106 with the base 104.
- the lid 106 may be operably coupled with the base 104 via any number of suitable approaches such as, for example, a friction fit connection, a threaded connection, a magnetic connection, a vacuum or suction mechanism, and the like.
- suitable approaches such as, for example, a friction fit connection, a threaded connection, a magnetic connection, a vacuum or suction mechanism, and the like.
- the container 102 may be constructed from any number of suitable materials and/or combinations of materials such as, for example, metals, polymers, and the like. As illustrated in Fig. 1, the container 102 has a generally rectangular prismatic shape, though other suitable examples such as cylindrical are possible.
- the container 102 further includes a divider or top plate 108 having a number of openings 108a (e.g., six) dimensioned to receive a corresponding number of trays 110.
- the divider 108 may also include an applicator opening 108b dimensioned to receive the applicator 120.
- each tray 110 includes a support ledge 111 having a lower surface 11 la and an upper surface 11 lb, a sidewall 112 extending downwardly from the support ledge 111, and a lower surface 113.
- the lower surface 11 la of the support ledge 111 is adapted to rest on (i.e., is positionable adjacent to) the divider 108 such that the remainder sidewall 112 and the lower surface 113 are at least partially disposed within is in the opening 108a (and thus into the interior cavity 104a of the base 104).
- the lower surface 11 la of the support ledge 111 (and thus the tray 110) and the divider 108 may be coupled with each other using magnets, adhesives, a friction-fit coupling, and the like. Other examples are possible.
- the sidewall 112 and the lower surface 113 combine to define a cavity 114 which is dimensioned to receive and/or retain at least a portion of the product disk 140 and/or a quantity of cosmetic product 101 disposed thereon.
- the sidewall 112 may have a curved, angled and/or tapered surface relative to the lower surface 113. In these configurations, the sidewall 112 may act as a stop mechanism to retain and/or prevent the product disk 140 from advancing further in a downward direction into the cavity 114 by frictional engagement therebetween.
- such a stop mechanism may be in the form of a frictional engagement, a notch, a tab, a protrusion, and the like.
- the sidewall 112 may include a ledge region (not illustrated) to retain and/or prevent the product disk 140 from advancing further into the cavity 114.
- the applicator 120 includes a cap 121, an applicator base 122, and an applicator tube 124 having an applicator retention region 130 and an applicator release region 132.
- the applicator base 122 may be used as a handle a user grasps when applying the desired cosmetic product 101, and includes an opening 123 to receive a portion of the applicator tube 124.
- the applicator tube 124 includes a first end 124a, a second end 124b, the applicator retention region 130, and the applicator release region 132.
- the applicator tube 124 extends along a longitudinal axis “A”. In the illustrated example, the applicator tube 124 is generally cylindrical in shape, though other configurations are possible.
- the second end 124b of the applicator tube 124 is insertable into the opening 123 of the applicator base 122, and may be secured therewith via a number of approaches such as, for example, a threaded connection, a friction-fit connection, the use of protrusions and corresponding notches, and the like.
- the applicator base 122 and the applicator tube 124 may be movably coupled with each other such that relative axial movement therebetween may be permitted. Other examples are possible.
- the applicator retention region 130 is positioned at the first end 124a of the applicator tube 124 and is in the form of a countersunk region defining a sidewall 130a and a ledge 131 having a diameter that is less than the diameter of the first end 124a of the applicator tube 124.
- the sidewall 130a and the ledge 131 define a cavity and are dimensioned to receive and engage a portion of the product disk 140.
- the applicator retention region 130 is integrally formed with the applicator tube 124. But in other examples (not illustrated), the applicator retention region 130 may be operably coupled with the first end 124a of the applicator tube using any number of suitable approaches such as, for example, a friction-fit engagement. However, other arrangements are possible.
- the applicator retention region 130 is generally hollow and defines an interior cavity 130b.
- the first end 124a of the applicator tube 124 (and thus the applicator retention region 130) is obliquely angled relative to the longitudinal axis A, though other relative configurations are possible. Accordingly, in this configuration, the first end 124a of the applicator tube 124 has a generally planar, ovoid shape.
- the applicator release region 132 is also positioned at the first end 124a of the applicator tube 124. In these examples, the applicator release region 132 is in the form of at least one cutout, channel, or opening 133 formed along the sidewall 130a and extending downwardly towards the ledge 131.
- the product disk 140 is in the form of a body having a first or lower side 140a, a second or upper side 140b, and an outer sidewall 140c.
- each of the first and second sides 140a, 140b are generally planar.
- the first side 140a of the product disk 140 includes a product receiving surface 144.
- the product receiving surface 144 is dimensioned to receive a sample quantity of product 101 thereon.
- the product receiving surface 144 may accommodate a quantity of lipstick sufficient for between approximately two and approximately ten applications. Other examples of suitable quantities are possible.
- the product 101 protrudes outwardly from the product receiving surface 144 and forms an oval shape, though other arrangements are possible depending on the desired application style and/or profile.
- the product disk 140 also includes at least one throughbore 142 extending between the first side 140a and the second side 140b. As illustrated in Fig. 4, the throughbore or throughbores 142 allow either a portion of the product 101 to be disposed therethrough and/or alternatively may operate as a window or visual indicator that allows a user to determine the appearance (e.g., the shade, color, and/or other visual characteristic) of the product 101 disposed on the product receiving surface 144 of the product disk 140 when positioned within the cavity 114 of the tray 110. In some examples, the at least one throughbore 142 allows a layer of product 101 to be disposed on the second side 140b of the product disk 140.
- the throughbore or throughbores 142 allow either a portion of the product 101 to be disposed therethrough and/or alternatively may operate as a window or visual indicator that allows a user to determine the appearance (e.g., the shade, color, and/or other visual characteristic) of the product 101 disposed on the product receiving surface 144 of the product disk
- the product disk 140 further includes a disk release mechanism 146 in the form of at least one protrusion 148.
- the at least one protrusion is located on the outer sidewall 140c of the product disk 140.
- the at least one protrusion may be located on or near the first side 140a and/or the second side 140b of the product disk as desired.
- the protrusion 148 is in the form of a wing or lever extending radially outwardly from the body 140c of the product disk 140.
- a user may engage the protrusion 148 to decouple the product disk 140 from the applicator tube 124.
- At least a portion of the outer sidewall 140c of the product disk 140 is dimensioned and configured to be received and/or nest within the ledge or countersunk region 131 of the applicator retention region 130.
- the second side 140b of the product disk 140 may be at least partially disposed within the interior cavity 130b of the applicator retention region 130.
- the product disk 140 is dimensioned such that it may be positioned adjacent to and/or at least partially within the cavity 114 of the tray 110.
- the outer sidewall 140c of the product disk 140 may have a dimension that is smaller than the corresponding dimension of the periphery of the cavity 114 of the tray as defined by the sidewall 112. Accordingly, at least a portion of the body of the product disk 140 (i.e., the first side 140a) may be positionable and/or nestable within the cavity 114 of the tray 110.
- the tapered configuration of the sidewall 112 may serve as a physical restriction that prevents the product disk 140 from being disposed further into the cavity 114 of the tray 110.
- a space or gap may be formed between the product receiving surface 144 of the product disk 140 and the lower surface 113 of the tray 110 that is sufficiently sized to retain the product 101. Accordingly, the product 101 may be safely disposed within the cavity 114 without being damaged by the sidewall 112 and/or the lower surface 113 of the tray 110.
- the second side 140b of the product disk 140 in addition to a portion of the outer sidewall 140c may extend upwardly from the upper surface 11 lb of the support ledge 111.
- any number of product disks 140 may be removably retained within individual cavities 114 of trays 110, which in turn are disposed within respective openings 108a of the divider 108, which is disposed within the interior cavity 104a of the base 104.
- Each of these disks 140 may include samples of the product 101 having different visual characteristics (e.g., varying colors or shades, sheen levels (e.g., matte, satin, or sheer), and/or may have varying degrees of transfer resistance).
- a user may determine which product 101 sample they wish to apply by viewing the product 101 through the throughbore 142 of the product disk 140 (or alternatively by simply viewing the portion of product 101 that is disposed on the second side 140b of the product disk 140).
- the user may position the first end 124a of the applicator tube 124, and more specifically, the applicator retention region 130, near the second side 140b of the product disk 140, and may move the applicator 120 towards the product disk 140 in axial direction (along axis A) such that the second side 140b of the product disk enters the interior cavity 130b of the applicator retention region 130.
- the outer sidewall 140c of the product disk 140 is nested within the ledge 131 of the applicator retention region 130 to retain the product disk 140 within a portion of the interior cavity 130b thereof.
- Such an engagement between the product disk 140 and the applicator retention region 130 may be a friction-fit connection.
- the at least one protrusion 148 of the disk release mechanism 146 is at least partially disposed within the cutout 133 of the applicator release region 132.
- a user may then lift the applicator 120 away from the tray 110, which will in turn cause the product disk 140 to be removed therefrom.
- the user may then apply the sample of the product 101, which is disposed on the outwardly -facing first side 140a of the product disk 140, as desired.
- the sidewall 130a and the ledge 131 cooperate to retain the product disk 140 in a secure manner.
- the engagement between the applicator 120 and the product disk 140 may generate a tactile feedback to alert the user that the applicator 120 and the product disk 140 are fully coupled together.
- at least a portion of the product disk 140 and/or the applicator retention region 130 may be formed from a magnetic material that causes the product disk 140 to be magnetically secured with the applicator 120.
- the user may place the cap 121 onto the applicator base 122 while the product disk 140 is coupled with the applicator 120 for the purposes of storage.
- the product disk 140 may be decoupled from the applicator 120 by manually sliding or pushing the protrusions 148 out of the cutout 133 of the applicator release region 132.
- a user positions the first side 140a near and/or within the cavity 114 of the tray 110 and urges the protrusion 148 in an axial direction out of the first end 124a of the applicator tube 124.
- the sidewall 112 may include a magnet that assists with retaining the product disk 140 within the cavity 114.
- a user may couple a different product disk 140 therewith to apply the desired product 101 or may return the applicator to the applicator cavity 116 as desired. So configured, a user may quickly selectively sample any number of varying cosmetic and/or skincare products 101 to determine a desired product for subsequent purchase.
- the applicator tube 124 may be dimensioned to accommodate a full-sized quantity of product 101 to allow for the use of the same applicator 120 used to sample varying products 101.
- the applicator tube 124 may include an advance/retract mechanism.
- the applicator tube 124 may be removed from the base 122 when the user determines which full-sized product they wish to purchase, and a replacement applicator (not illustrated) may be inserted into the base 122 that includes a full-sized quantity of product 101.
- the product disks 140 may be reused and/or recycled upon returning them to the manufacturer, thereby potentially reducing overall component and manufacturing costs.
- the protrusions 148 may not be disposed within a cutout 133 when the product disk 140 is coupled with the applicator tube 124. Rather, the protrusions 148 may abut the first end 124a of the applicator tube 124 (i.e., an end of the sidewall 130a of the applicator retention region 130). In such an arrangement, the protrusions 148 extend in a radial distance beyond an exterior diameter of the applicator tube 124, and as such, a user may urge the product disk 140 from the applicator tube 124 in a similar manner as described above.
- Figs. 12 & 13 illustrate an alternative applicator tube 224 having an applicator release region 232 in the form of a push-to-release mechanism 233.
- the push-to-release mechanism 233 is disposed on the applicator tube 224, and may be depressed by a user to cause an urging member disposed at the first end 224a of the applicator tube 224 to engage the second side 240b of the product disk 240 to urge the product disk 240 from the applicator retention region 230.
- the applicator retention region 130, the applicator release region 132, and the disk coupling mechanism 146 may have opposite configurations whereby the applicator is inserted into a portion of the product disk. Other arrangements are possible.
