DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the lip pen assembly of the present invention comprises a container 10 having a space 102 defined therein and cosmetic product is received therein. A cap 103 is connected to an open end of the container 10 and a neck 104 extends from the cap 103. The neck 104 includes outer threads and a through hole 1041 is defined through the neck 104, the through hole 1041 communicates with the space 102 of the container 10. A rubber insertion 11 is inserted into the through hole 1041 of the neck 104 and includes an insertion body 111 and a passage 112 is defined axially through the insertion body 111. A flange 113 extends radially outward from an end of the insertion body 111 and contacts against an end of the neck 104. A mirror 101 is connected to an outside of the container 10.

A lip pen 12 has a base 121 and a handle 122 connected to the base 121. A recess 1211 is defined in a first side of the base 121 and includes inner threads. A shank 123 of the lip pen 12 extends from a center of the recess 1211. The neck 104 can be inserted into the recess 1211 in the base 121 by an engagement of inner threads in the recess 1211 and the outer threads on the neck 104, and the shank 123 is inserted through the through hole 1041 of the neck 104 and inserted into the space 102 in the container 10. An applying head 124 such as a brush is connected to a distal end of the shank 123. A plurality of apertures 1213 are defined through a second side of the base 121. A seal ring 13 has a central hole 131 and the shank 123 extends through the central hole 131. The shank 123 is received in the recess 1211 of the base 121. A plurality of protrusions 132 extend from the seal ring 13 and movably extend through the apertures 1213 of the base 121. The handle 122 has slits 1221 defined therein and the base 121 is located between the slits 1221. A plurality of receiving holes 1212 are defined through the base 121,

Two light bulbs 14 extend through the base 121 and each have a first pole 141 and a second pole 142. The light bulbs 14 can be light emitting diodes. The first pole 141 is located on the second side of the base 121. A cover 17 is removably connected to the base 121 and has an opening 171. A biasing member 16 such as a spring and a battery unit 15 including two batteries is received in the cover 17. The battery unit 15 has a first end is biased by a first end of the biasing member 16 so that the battery unit 15 is pushed toward the first pole 141. A second end of the biasing member 16 is inserted into the cover 17 and biases against an inner end of the cover 17.

When the cover 17 is connected to the base 121 and the lip pen 12 is inserted into the container 10, the seal ring 13 is pushed by the neck 104 so that the protrusions 132 pushes the battery unit 15 to compress the biasing member 16 so that the first poles 141 of the light bulbs 14 are no in contact with the battery unit 15 as shown in FIG. 3.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 4A, when the user remove the cover 17 from the base 121 to pull the shank 123 of the lip pen 12 from the container 10, the neck 104 does not push against the seal ring 13 so that the protrusions 132 are pushed by the battery unit 15 and the biasing member 16, the battery unit 15 is then in contact with the first poles 141 so as to activate the light bulbs 14. When the cover 17 is connected to the base 121, and the shank 123 is inserted into the container 10 again, the seal ring 13 is pushed by the neck 104 and the protrusions 132 push the battery unit 15 to compress the biasing member 16 to disconnect the first poles 141 and the battery unit 15. The activation of the light bulbs 14 are controlled by the position of the neck 104 and the recess 1211 of the base 121 of the lip pen 12, so that the user can use the lip pen assembly without any limitation.

While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
