Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] (a) Technical Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to make-up applicator, and in
particular, an electric applicator with various type of
electrically operated components such as eye-lashes brush, etc.
[0003] (b) Description of the Prior Art
[0004] Recently, as a result of technology advancement, there are
numbers of devices which function to provide a pleasant looking to
females. In particular, to beautify the eyes of a lady is an
important role for a beautician to enhance an attractive appearance
on the face. Devices such as eye-lashes' cream and lashes
applicators are both used to cause attractive of eyes.
[0005] Conventionally, eye-lashes cream is applied manually onto
the lashes. The applicator has to be rotated constantly in order to
enable the cream is evenly applied onto the lashes. However, it
normally takes awhile to complete the process, accordingly it is an
object of the present invention to provide an electric make-up
applicator which allows the lashes cream to be applied conveniently
and evenly.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] The primary purpose of the present invention is to provide
an electric make-up applicator having a rotating shaft and a power
supply unit to provide power to a power unit. An electric make-up
applicator comprising a body, mounted with a power unit, having a
rotating shaft and a power supply unit to provide power to the
power unit; and a tooling device mounted onto the rotating shaft
and having a make-up tool; thereby, the power unit causes the
tooling device to rotate so as to supplement make-up on the face of
a user.
[0007] Still another object of the present invention is to provide
a an electric make-up applicator, wherein the rotating shaft is
engaged with the polygonal shaped tooling device, allowing the body
to disengage with the tooling device and the rotating shaft drives
the tooling device to rotate.
[0008] A further object of the present invention is to provide an
electric make-up applicator, wherein the body is mounted with a
direction-shifting switch to allow the tooling device to rotate in
different direction.
[0009] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an
electric make-up applicator, wherein the body is mounted with a
speed-regulating switch to allow the tooling device to regulate the
speed of rotation.
[0010] Yet a further object of the present invention is to provide
an electric make-up applicator, wherein the tooling device is
replaced with a lens cap to cap the body when the body is separated
from the tooling device.
[0011] The foregoing object and summary provide only a brief
introduction to the present invention. To fully appreciate these
and other objects of the present invention as well as the invention
itself, all of which will become apparent to those skilled in the
art, the following detailed description of the invention and the

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0018] The following descriptions are of exemplary embodiments
only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or
configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following
description provides a convenient illustration for implementing
exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the
described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement
of the elements described without departing from the scope of the
invention as set forth in the appended claims.
[0019] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 5, there is shown an electric
lashes applicator comprising a body 10, a covering member 20
mounted of the body 10 for protection and aesthetic effect, a
make-up tooling device 30 connected to the powered rotating shaft
of the body, a cap 40 mounted on the tooling device 30 for
protection and material storing, a lens-cover 50 mounted at the
body 10. The body 10 of the applicator causes the tooling device 30
to rotate so as to supplement make-up on the face.
[0020] In accordance with the present invention, the body 10 is
provided with a power unit 11 having a motor 12 mounted therein.
The motor 12 has a shaft 121 which rotates. The cross-sectional
view of the rotating shaft 121 is a rectangular shape, or a
polygonal shape, and is provided with a pair of protrusions 122
corresponding to each other (only one protrusion has been shown).
The external section of the body 10 is provided with a
direction-shifting switch 13 and a speed regulation switch 14, such
that the rotating shaft 121 will produce different rotating
direction and various rotating speed. One end of the power unit 11
is provided with a power supply unit 15 to provide power to the
power unit 11. The power supply unit 15 can be batteries 16, and
the inner wall is provided with a protruded block 17. The protruded
block 17 is engaged with a slot 18 of the power unit 11 so that the
power supply unit 15 is engaged with the power unit 11 and is
unloadable to replace the batteries 16.
[0021] The covering body 20 is moveably mounted to the external
section of the body 10 which can protect the body 10. On the body
20, at an appropriate section, a notch 21 is provided so as to
avoid the direction-shifting switch 13 and the speed regulating
switch 14. The body 20 can be of any color, shape to provide a
designed logo or mark so that the body 10 has an aesthetic
appearance.
[0022] The tooling device 30 is mounted at the body 10 and in
accordance with the present invention, the applicator is used as an
eyelashes brush. Of course, in accordance with the present
invention, other tooling device can be used. The body 10 is mounted
with a brush body 31 so as to obtain eyelashes lotion. One end of
the tooling device 30 has a seat body 32 and the external surface
of the seat body 32 is provided with protruded threads 33
facilitating hand-grip and rotating. The tooling device 30 is
provided with a connection hole 34 corresponding to the shape of
the rotating shaft 121 for connection to allow rotating by the
rotating shaft 121. There are two recesses 35 provided within the
connection hole 34 such that when the connection hole 34 connects
with the rotating shaft 121, the protrusion 122 can be engaged with
the recesses 35. Thus, the tooling device 30 can be mounted to the
body 10 and can also be easily unloaded.
[0023] The cap 40 is provided with a threaded section 41 and is
secured to the seat body 32 of the tooling device 30 for protecting
the tooling device 30 when it is not being used. The cap 40 has a
storage space for storing mascara which is obtainable when the
tooling device 30 is extended thereto.
[0024] The lens cap 50 has a lens body 51 and before the tooling
device 30 is connected to the body 10, the lens cap 50 can be
engaged with the body 10.
[0025] Referring to FIG. 3, there is shown a preferred embodiment
on the application of the applicator on the eyelashes. The tooling
device 31 with mascara rotates and the brush body 31 of the tooling
device 30 is also rotated, the mascara is easily applied onto the
eyelashes. The tooling device 30 can be unloaded for easy
carrying.
[0026] In application, the speed of rotating of the brush body 31
can be adjusted by the switch 14.
[0027] Referring to FIG. 4, the direction of rotation of the brush
body can be changed to adapt to the externally curved
eyelashes.
[0028] Due to the fact that the tooling device 30 is engaged with
the body by an engaging structure, the assembly and disassembly
operation is simple and convenient. This will facilitate
replacement of the tooling device 30.
[0029] It will be understood that each of the elements described
above, or two or more together may also find a useful application
in other types of methods differing from the type described
above.
[0030] While certain novel features of this invention have been
shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is
not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be
understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and
changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in
its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without
departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
