Description

This disclosure generally relates to a delivery system for cosmetics, hair care products, body care products, and/or skin care products, and more specifically to a product tray including a mesh member configured to distribute force across the upper surface of a product contained within a cavity. Cosmetics, hair care products, body care products, and/or skin care products are typically provided in a product tray with a cavity. The user transfers a certain amount of the product to the applicator by pressing a preferred applicator (such as a brush, sponge, or finger) against the product in the cavity. During the transfer, both the amount of product dispersed on the applicator and the position of the product on the applicator are important for the purpose of subsequent application. Some product trays, or the housings in which they are held, prevent certain types of applicators from accessing the product in the cavity, thus allowing the desired amount of product to be dispersed and/or hindering the optimal placement of the product on the applicator. For example, if the product tray or housing has relatively high side walls that completely enclose the cavity, and the applicator is as long as the width of the cavity, contact between the applicator and the sides of the cavity may prevent the applicator from collecting the product along its entire length. Areas of the cavity that are difficult to access (e.g., the corners and edges of the cavity) often retain product even when more accessible areas (e.g., the center of the cavity) are empty. As a result, the retained product becomes difficult to use, or the retained product is wasted if the product tray is discarded when the more accessible areas are empty. Therefore, improved accessories with enhanced functionality are needed. The examples within the scope of this disclosure relate to methods for manufacturing applicators for applying cosmetic substances. In one example, the product tray includes a cavity, a product, and a mesh member. The cavity is defined by a bottom, sides, and a strip. The strip is configured to pivot relative to the bottom. The product is placed within the cavity and has a top surface. The mesh member is connected to the sides and strip and extends across the cavity. The mesh member is configured to distribute forces applied to the strip or the mesh member across the top surface of the product by pivoting the strip. In one method, the strip can be formed integrally with the base. In one method, the strip may be separate from the bottom and connected to the bottom. In one method, the mesh member may have a porosity determined at least partially by the viscosity of the product. In one method, the sides may be immobile relative to the bottom. In one method, the bottom may include a first side edge, a rear edge, a second side edge, and a front edge. The sides may be connected to the bottom at the first side edge, the rear edge, and the second side edge. The strip may be connected to the bottom at its front edge. The sides may include a first side surface, a rear surface, and a second side surface. The first side surface may be connected to the first side edge of the bottom. The rear surface may be connected to the rear edge of the bottom. The second side surface may be connected to the second side edge of the bottom. In one method, the strip can be configured to pivot at an angle of approximately 10 to 45 degrees relative to its base when force is applied. In one method, the strip may contain a flexible material. In one example, the housing for the product tray includes a bezel, casing, port cover, and cap. The bezel has a chamber for the product tray. The chamber is defined by a base, a lateral interface, and a front access port. The front access port has an opening region with an outer circumference defined by the base and the lateral interface. The bezel is disposed within the casing. The port cover is configured to selectively cover the front access port. The cap is connected to the casing and configured to selectively cover the bezel. In one method, the port cover can be rotatably connected to the cap. In one method, the port cover can be rotatably connected to the casing. In one method, the cap may have a top surface. The port cover may include a shield for the opening area of the forward access port and a lip positioned at an angle to the shield. The lip may be positioned adjacent to the front surface of the cap when the port cover covers the forward access port. In one method, the housing may further include a storage compartment for the applicator. The storage compartment may be located between the casing and the cap. A mounting surface for the applicator may be provided within the casing. The casing may have a bottom surface. An applicator opening may be provided in the bottom surface for access to the storage compartment. In one example, a cosmetic compact assembly includes a product tray and a housing. The product tray has a cavity at
