Abstract
A first elongated hollow member has a first open end and an opposite closed end with a plurality of small spaced openings therein. A hollow elongated capsule, adapted to be filled with cosmetic powder, closed at one end and open at the other, is removably slidable into and out of the first member. The capsule, when inserted in the first member, has its open end adjacent the second end of the first member and its closed end closing the first end of the second member. A second elongated hollow member has first and second open ends, the first member having its closed end disposed in the first end of the second member. The second member has a cam in the first end with openings aligned with the openings in the closed end of the first member. The second member has a cam follower disposed slidably in the second member, the follower and said cam always being engaged, the follower and cam having a first normal position of engagement at which the follower seals the cam openings and a second momentary position of engagement at which the follower exposes the cam opening. A third elongated hollow member has an open end. A brush has a plurality of essentially parallel bristles with powder applying tips, the brush being disposed in the open third member end, the brush carrying end of the third member being disposed in the second end of the second member and engaging the follower. The second member is slidable back and forth along the third member between a first normal position at which the cam and follower are in the first position of engagement and a second momentary position at which the cam and follower are in the momentary second position of engagement.
