Abstract:
1. A cosmetic container comprising: a receptacle, the receptacle comprising: a housing for storing a cosmetic product; a cover, the cover comprising an upper section and a lower section; an applicator integrated in the cover and movable between protruded and retracted positions, the applicator picking the cosmetic product through the receptacle when the applicator is in the protruded position; and a rotational apparatus to move the applicator between the protruded and retracted positions; wherein the upper section and the lower section of the cover are connected through the rotational apparatus and wherein the upper section and the lower section of the cover are rotated with respect to each other to protrude and retract the applicator; wherein the applicator is in a completely protruded and retracted position when the upper section and the lower section are in completely flush and contiguous alignment; wherein the rotation of the upper section of the cover with respect to the lower section in a first direction causes misalignment of the upper and lower sections such that the upper section and the lower section of the cover are no longer flush and contiguous with each other; wherein the misalignment indicates initiation of protrusion or retraction of the applicator; wherein further rotation in the first direction of the upper section of the cover with respect to the lower section causes flush and contiguous re-alignment of the upper section and the lower section of the cover indicating that the applicator is completely moved to the protruded position; and wherein further rotation of the upper section of the cover with respect to the lower section in reverse direction causes flush and contiguous re-alignment of the upper section and the lower section of the cover indicating that the applicator is completely moved to the retracted position.
