The present invention relates to a lip pen assembly with light bulbs which are activated when the lip pen is in use status and are turned off when the lip pen is received in the container.
A conventional lip stick assembly is shown in
The present invention intends to provide a lip pen assembly with lights which are automatically turned on when the lip pen is removed from the container, and are turn off when the lip pen is inserted into the container again.
The present invention relates to a lip pen assembly that includes a container and a neck is connected to an end of the container through which a lip pen is inserted into the container. The lip pen has a base and a recess is defined in a first side thereof, the neck is inserted into the recess. A plurality of apertures are defined through a second side of the base. A shank of the lip pen is connected to the first side of the base and has an applying head on a distal end thereof. A seal ring is mounted on the shank and received in the recess of the base. A plurality of protrusions extend from the seal ring and movably extend through the apertures of the base. At least one light bulb extends through the base and has a first pole and a second pole. The first pole is located on the second side of the base. At least one battery has a first end contacting the second pole and a second end of the at least one battery is removably in contact with the first pole. A biasing member has a first end contacting the first end of the at least one battery and pushes the at least one battery toward the first pole. A second end of the biasing member is inserted into an opening of a cover and biases against an inner end of the cover. The cover is removably connected onto the base.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a lip pen assembly with light bulbs which are automatically turned on when the lip pen is removed from the container and are turned off when the lip pen is inserted into the container.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a lip pen assembly with light bulbs wherein the user's hand is not restricted at a certain position when using the lip pen.
The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to
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
As shown in
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.
