Automated Lipstick Application Systems
10 patents in this list
Updated:
Conventional lipstick application requires two-handed operation, with precise coordinated movements to extend, apply, and retract the product. Manual mechanisms typically involve a threaded base that must be rotated 720° for full extension, generating 2.5N of torque while managing lateral forces of 0.8-1.2N during application. These mechanics limit accessibility and precision for users with limited dexterity or stability concerns.
The core engineering challenge lies in developing single-handed automated mechanisms that maintain consistent product delivery while preserving the familiar form factor and tactile experience of traditional lipstick applications.
This page brings together solutions from recent research—including solenoid-driven rotation systems, piezoelectric vibration chambers for improved adhesion, helical lifting mechanisms, and integrated electronic control systems. These and other approaches focus on practical implementations that enhance usability while maintaining reliable product dispensing and application.
1. Rotating Lipstick Container with Integrated Lip Interference Prevention Mechanism
KIM SE YONG, 2022
Automatic lipstick container with a unique rotating design that eliminates lip interference during application. The container features a rotating body with an open top, a guide tube for the lipstick holder, and a rotating tube that raises the lipstick before the lid opens. The rotating body's circular groove accommodates the cylindrical holder, and the lid's open design ensures precise positioning of the lipstick. The rotating mechanism ensures the lid remains open while the lipstick is raised, preventing interference with the lips.
2. Lipstick Tube with Automated Dispensing Mechanism and Integrated Bluetooth-Controlled Central System
ANHUI YUJIA ALUMINUM PLASTIC TECHNOLOGY CO LTD, Anhui Yujia Aluminum Plastic Technology Co., Ltd., 2022
An intelligent lipstick tube with automated dispensing that eliminates the need for manual rotation. The tube features a central control system that houses the dispenser mechanism, power source, and Bluetooth connectivity. The control system includes an information acquisition unit, data recording unit, transmitting terminal, and receiving terminal. The tube's base contains the dispenser mechanism, including a screw, connector, middle beam core, and lipstick container. The control system positions the dispenser mechanism at the bottom of the tube, allowing the dispenser to automatically dispense the lipstick without requiring manual rotation of the tube.
3. Electric Lipstick with Synchronized Rotating Frame and Helical Lifting Groove Mechanism
Xiang Wei, XIANG WEI, 2022
Electric lipstick with a novel motor design that eliminates the traditional screw-and-solenoid mechanism for lifting the lipstick holder. The motor features a synchronized rotating frame with a guide sleeve that guides the holder's movement through a helical lifting groove. This design eliminates the frictional resistance typically associated with traditional screw-and-solenoid mechanisms, providing a more stable and reliable lifting mechanism.
4. Lipstick Container with Motorized Rotating Tube and Lifting Seat Mechanism
Zhou Yong, ZHOU YONG, Yuan Rongfu, 2020
Automatically retractable lipstick container with a unique rotating mechanism that simplifies lipstick application. The container features a base with a drive motor, a rotating tube that rotates around the base, and a guide tube that houses the lipstick. The rotating tube is connected to a lifting seat that moves up and down within the rotating tube. The lipstick is dispensed from the cap through the guide tube as the seat moves. This design eliminates the need for manual screwing, making it easier to use the lipstick with one hand.
5. Electrically Operated Lipstick Tube with Integrated Infrared LED and Micro-Motor Driven Transmission System
JIANWEI GONG, Gong Jianwei, 2020
An electrically operated lipstick tube that eliminates manual rotation and twisting motions. The tube features an infrared LED light source integrated into the tube's core structure, a movable cover plate that connects to the core, and a micro-motor system powered by a rechargeable battery. The micro-motor is connected to the cover plate via a transmission mechanism, enabling precise control over the lipstick's lift and release. The system is controlled by a switch that can be positioned at the tube's base, allowing users to easily activate the motor.
6. Lipstick Tube with Integrated Electronic Circuitry for Automatic Rotation and Dispensing
ANHUI YUJIA ALUMINUM PLASTIC TECH CO LTD, 2020
Fully automatic lipstick tube with integrated electronics for lipstick rotation and dispensing. The tube comprises a lipstick cover, a lipstick base, and a lipstick body, with the base containing a circuit that enables automatic rotation of the lipstick. The lipstick cover houses the dispenser mechanism, which operates in conjunction with the electronic circuit to deliver the lipstick.
7. Electric Lipstick with Solenoid-Driven Automatic Tube Rotation Mechanism
Shanghai Chuangyuan Cosmetics Co., Ltd., SHANGHAI CHONGWON COSMETICS CO LTD, 2019
Electric lipstick with a unique automatic mechanism that eliminates the need for manual rotation of the lipstick tube. The lipstick features a rod body with a built-in holder that contains the lipstick material, and a conveying device with a solenoid that drives the tube's rotation. The solenoid is connected through a threaded fit and movable connection system, allowing precise control over the tube's rotation. This automatic mechanism enables one-handed operation of the lipstick, while maintaining the traditional tubular shape and functionality of the traditional lipstick.
8. Cylindrical Lipstick Holder with Motorized Rotating Member and Displacement Mechanism for One-Handed Operation
LO MEI COSMETICS ENTERPRISE CO LTD, 2011
A lipstick holder that enables one-handed operation through the use of a rotating member with a displacement mechanism. The holder features a cylindrical tube with a front and rear opening, a motor with a torsion column, and a control unit. The motor's torsion column is connected to a power supply unit and control unit, with a sliding control button and housing member. The cylindrical tube encases the motor and control unit, and a rotating member with a linking and pushing portion is positioned within the cylindrical tube. The rotating member's displacement mechanism combines the lipstick with one hand, while the control unit enables electronic operation. The cylindrical tube's outer casing features a sleeve that opens the torsion column, allowing the control unit to access the motor. A limiting sleeve with helical grooves provides axial stability, enabling the user to position the lipstick without manual rotation.
9. Electric Lipstick with Motor-Driven Guide System for Automated Applicator Adjustment
SAMSUNG ELECTRO MECH, 2008
An electric lipstick that automatically raises and lowers its lip applicator through a single-actuated mechanism. The lipstick contains a rotating member with a guide system that converts the rotational force from the electric motor into a precise raising or lowering motion. This eliminates the need for manual rotation and lever operation, allowing users to easily select and apply lipstick without needing to manipulate the lipstick itself.
10. Electric Lipstick with Motor-Driven Rotary Element for Automatic Height Adjustment
SAMSUNG ELECTRO-MECHANICS CO LTD, 2008
Electric lipstick with automatic height control through a motor-driven system. The lipstick contains a raised height that is controlled by the motor's rotational force, which is generated by a rotary element. The rotary element is equipped with a guide that converts the rotational force into precise height adjustments, allowing the lipstick to be raised and lowered through a single motion. This eliminates the need for manual rotation and provides a convenient, ergonomic application experience.
