Method for loading cosmetic material into a container and solidifying said cosmetic material

摘要

Loading and solidifying of a cosmetic material is achieved by supplying a viscous cosmetic material into a container having a slidable bottom plate, closing an upper open end of the container by a presser, compressing the cosmetic material by pressing the bottom plate of the container upwardly, and squeezing solvent from the cosmetic material through a porous absorbent element secured in either the presser or a supporting block. The container includes a frame in which the bottom plate is slidably fitted. The supporting block has a recess to hold the container and a drive for pressing the bottom plate upwardly. The supporting block and/or the presser has a hollow space maintained at sub-atmospheric pressure, and the porous absorbent element is secured in the hollow space at a position adjacent the container.
