Abstract
A cosmetic applicator, such as a lipstick applicator, includes an inner cosmetic holder or cup in which a cosmetic mass or lipstick is securable, and which is disposed within a carrier sleeve fixed to a base and surrounded by a tubular member having an internal helical groove or thread receiving one or more cup keys extending through longitudinal slots in the sleeve into the helical groove, or meshing with the internal helical thread, so that relative turning between the tubular member and the carrier and base effects advancing and retracting movements of the cup and cosmetic mass along the carrier sleeve. The carrier sleeve has an unslotted forward extension on which an enclosing cap can be mounted which has substantially the same external diameter as the tubular member and base, resulting in an applicator of greater slimness than prior applicators, better appearance and requiring less material.
