forth
above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following
detailed
description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings
wherein:

assembly
according to an embodiment of the disclosure.
Figure 2 is an exploded bottom front side perspective view of an embodiment of
the disclosure.
Figure 3 is a top view of an embodiment of the disclosure.
Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the disclosure taken

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to Figures 1 through 5
thereof, a new dispenser in the form of a makeup applicator assembly embodying
the
principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally
designated by
the reference numeral 10 will be described.
As best illustrated in Figures 1 through 5, the makeup applicator assembly 10
generally comprises an elongated tube 12 having an interior space 14, a bottom
end 16
and a top end 18. A bottom opening 20 extends through the bottom end 16 of the
tube
12. A chamber 22 is positioned in the interior space 14. The chamber 22 is
positioned
proximate the bottom end 16 of the tube 12. An item to be dispensed is
positioned in the
- 2 -

CA 02871875 2014-11-19
chamber 22. For example, makeup material 24 with an elongated applicator 26
may be
positioned in the chamber 22. A button 28 is coupled to and extends from the
top end 18
of the tube 12. A plunger 30 extends between the button 28 and the applicator
26. The
plunger 30 may also extend into the chamber 22.
A dispensing aperture 32 is positioned in the chamber 22. The applicator 26 is
extendable through the dispensing aperture 32. The dispensing aperture 32 is
positioned
proximate the bottom end 16 of the tube 12 wherein the applicator 26 is
extendable from
the bottom end 16 of the tube 12 when the button 28 is manipulated. A seal 34
is coupled
to the chamber 22 and the seal 34 covers the dispensing aperture 32. The
applicator 26 is
selectively extendable through the seal 34. The seal 34 has an outer perimeter
36 coupled
to an interior surface 38 of the tube 12. The seal 34 has an inner perimeter
40 defining a
central orifice 42 through which the applicator 26 extends and retracts. The
seal 34 has a
parabolic diametric cross-sectional shape 44. A plurality of balls 46 may be
positioned in
the chamber 22 wherein the balls 46 agitate the makeup 24 within the chamber
22 when
the chamber 22 is shaken. A plurality of bristles 48 is coupled to and extends
radially
from the applicator 26. An interior wall 50 is statically positioned in the
tube 12
proximate the chamber 22. The plunger 30 extends through the interior wall 50.
A
biasing member 52 is positioned in the tube 12 and abuts the interior wall 50.
The
biasing member 52 is coupled to the button 28 wherein the biasing member 52
urges the
button 28 outwardly through the top end 18 of the tube 12 and the applicator
26 into a
retracted position 54. The mechanism 66 may work in the same fashion as
extension and
retraction mechanisms commonly used in a writing implement.
A clip 56 is coupled to an exterior surface 58 of the tube 12. A perimeter
wall 60
defining the chamber 22 is positioned in the tube 12. An end 62 of the
perimeter wall 60
curves inwardly approaching the dispensing aperture 32.
In use, the button 28 is manipulated to actuate the plunger 30 extending the
applicator 26. Makeup material 24 from the chamber 22 is held on the bristles
48 to be
applied to a person such as on the eyelashes or another desired body part. The
balls 46
- 3 -

CA 02871875 2014-11-19
may be agitated within the chamber 22 prior to extension of the applicator 26.
The
applicator 26 is retracted back into the chamber 22 by further manipulation of
the button
28. The seal 34 holds the makeup material 24 within the chamber 22 allowing
the
assembly 10 to be stored in a desired location until needed.
While the embodiment described above refers to dispensing makeup material 24,
other embodiments may be used to dispense other items such as a pharmaceutical
product
(e.g. pills), or an agricultural product (e.g. fertilizer pellets). In such
embodiments, the
plunger 30 may directly or indirectly engage the item being dispensed. For
example,
pressing the button 28 may actuate the plunger 30 to push a pill or fertilizer
pellet from
the chamber 22 and out through the dispensing aperture 32 (e.g. through the
seal 34).
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the
optimum
dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the
disclosure, to
include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of
operation,
assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in
the art, and
all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and
described in the
specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the
disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles
of the
disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily
occur to
those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the claims to the exact
construction and
operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and
equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the claims.
