Benefits of technology

This patent describes how an up-twist force on a cosmetic container helps it extend and allows for easy removal of the wheels when they are used. It also makes sure that the wheel cannot rotate too much during use, which improves safety and usability.

Problems solved by technology

This patent describes a problem with traditional containers used for holding makeup products such as mascara, eye shadow, blushers, rouge, and other similar items. These types of cosmetic products are commonly stored together inside these containers without any protective features. However, this can lead to accidental turnings of the wheels during storage or use. Additionally, it makes them difficult to handle due to their weight and size. There is also a risk of losing the product if someone tries to apply it onto oneself while carrying around.

Embodiment Construction

[0031]FIGS. 1A-1B exemplarily illustrate front perspective views of a container protection apparatus 100. The container protection apparatus 100 prevents a wheel 108 of a cosmetic container 106 exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. 10A-10B, from being inadvertently turned by a user. For purposes of illustration, the detailed description refers to a cosmetic container 106 exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. 10A-10B, for example, a lip balm container, a lipstick container, etc.; however, the scope of the container protection apparatus 100 disclosed herein is not limited to preventing inadvertent turning of a wheel 108 of only a cosmetic container 106, but may be extended to include preventing inadvertent turning of a wheel 108 on any type of container. The container protection apparatus 100 comprises an open-ended generally cylindrical protector 101 that is coaxially positioned around the cosmetic container 106 having a wheel 108 at a lower end 106b of the cosmetic container 106, about a central

Abstract

A container protection apparatus comprises a protector and one or more flanges disposed along a circumference of the lower end of the protector. The flanges extend inwardly toward a central axis of the protector and flex about the lower end of the protector. An expandable longitudinal slot runs down the length of the protector from its upper end to its lower end. When the protector is coaxially positioned, force fitted, and moved down the length of the container having a wheel at its lower end, till the lower end of the protector projects beyond a lower edge of the wheel, the width of the longitudinal slot narrows, the inner surface of the protector snap-fits around the outer surface of the container, and the flanges engage with a cylindrical surface and a lower surface of the wheel, thereby preventing the wheel from being inadvertently turned.
