ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a combination lotion dispenser and pen and more particularly pertains to providing a writing instrument that also dispenses lotion and tells time and can be worn around a wearer's neck.
The use of lotion applicators is known in the prior art. More specifically, lotion applicators heretofore devised and utilized for the purpose of applying lotion are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
By way of example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,018,543 to Martinez discloses a cylindrical container for aftershave lotion. U.S. Pat. No. 5,185,942 to Decker discloses a lotion containing apparatus in which the lotion is contained in the upper and lower shoe sole. U.S. Pat. No. Des. 302,244 to North discloses an ornamental design for a lotion container.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objective and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not describe a combination lotion dispenser and pen for providing a writing instrument that also dispenses lotion and tells time and can be worn around a wearer's neck.
In this respect, the combination lotion dispenser and pen according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of providing a writing instrument that also dispenses lotion and tells time and can be worn around a wearer's neck.
Therefore, it can be appreciated that there exists a continuing need for new and improved combination lotion dispenser and pen which can be used for providing a writing instrument that also dispenses lotion and tells time and can be worn around a wearer's neck. In this regard, the present invention substantially fulfills this need.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In the view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of lotion applicators now present in the prior art, the present invention provides an improved combination lotion dispenser and pen. As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved combination lotion dispenser and pen and method which has all the advantages of the prior art and none of the disadvantages.
To attain this, the present invention essentially comprises a housing having a truncated upper end, an arcuate lower end and a tubular intermediate portion therebetween. The truncated upper end has an internally threaded recess formed therein. The arcuate lower end has an elongated bore extending inwardly thereof. A pen cartridge is removably received within the elongated bore. The pen cartridge has a cap removably disposed thereover. A clock is secured within the tubular intermediate portion of the housing. The clock has an LED disposed therein. A bulbous rubber container is coupled with respect to the housing. The container has a threaded extension disposed on a lower end thereof for coupling with the internally threaded recess of the truncated upper end of the housing. The container has an opening through an upper end thereof. The opening has a cap removably coupled therewith. The cap has an eyelet disposed on an outer surface thereof. The container has a dispensing hole within a side wall thereof whereby lotion within the container will dispense outwardly thereof upon squeezing of the container. An elastic necklace is coupled with the eyelet of the container.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved combination lotion dispenser and pen which has all the advantages of the prior art lotion applicators and none of the disadvantages.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new and improved combination lotion dispenser and pen which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new and improved combination lotion dispenser and pen which is of durable and reliable construction.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved combination lotion dispenser and pen which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such a combination lotion dispenser and pen economically available to the buying public.
Even still another object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved combination lotion dispenser and pen for providing a writing instrument that also dispenses lotion and tells time and can be worn around a wearer's neck.
Lastly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved combination lotion dispenser and pen including a housing having a truncated upper end, an arcuate lower end and a tubular intermediate portion therebetween. The truncated upper end has an internally threaded recess formed therein. The arcuate lower end has an elongated bore extending inwardly thereof. A pen cartridge is removably received within the elongated bore. A bulbous rubber container is coupled with respect to the housing. The container has a threaded extension disposed on a lower end thereof for coupling with the internally threaded recess of the truncated upper end of the housing. The container has an opening through an upper end thereof. The opening has a cap removably coupled therewith. The container has a dispensing hole within a side wall thereof whereby lotion within the container will dispense outwardly thereof upon squeezing of the container.
These together with other objects of the invention, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the invention, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and the specific objects attained by its uses, reference should be had to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which there is illustrated preferred embodiments of the invention.
