METHOD OF MAKING LIPSTICK SAMPLERS

摘要

A method of manufacturing disposable, single use lipstick samplers using a dipping process. In a preferred form, a reservoir (10) containing molten lipstick wax material (12) is provided, and a spindle (14), which is disposed above the reservoir (10), is advanceable toward and retractable away from the reservoir (10). A plastic cup-shaped form (16) having an apertured (39) tip (26) is applied to the spindle (14), which is thereafter advanced so as to submerge the tip (26) of the form (16) into the molten liquid wax material (12). The spindle (14) and coated form (28) are then removed from the reservoir (10), and gas pressure is applied through the spindle (14) to the aperture (39) of the tip (26) of the form (16), so as to blow off excess lipstick wax material (30a) therefrom. The form (16) is allowed to cool so as to solidify the wax material (12), and thereafter is fitted with a cover, removed from the spindle (14a), and suitably packaged.
