Abstract
A cosmetic dispenser is disclosed which include a socket having a dispensing opening and three orthogonal axes, one axis extending through the socket and the other two lying substantially in the plane thereof. An applicator member is retained in the socket and has an upper portion extending exteriorly of the dispensing opening and a skirt portion substantially retained within the socket. The applicator is adapted for rotation about the three axes, but stop means limit rotation of the applicator member about the two axes in the plane of the socket. In this manner when rotation occurs about the axes of limited rotation, the dispenser is operable to feed cosmetic across the skirt portion to the upper portion of the applicator member for application to a surface to be treated with the cosmetic.
