ABSTRACT:
DESCRIPTION
This invention is related to an improved perfume pen assembly structure, particular to a portable perfume pen, comprising a pen body serving as a perfume container. An atomizer comprising an atomizing nozzle and a pump body is provided at a tip portion of the pen body for spraying atomized perfume. A pen clip attached to a pen cap is provided to allow a user to clip the pen to a pocket or a pouch to enhance portability. The tubular container of the pen body includes an upper half section that is formed with an annular, protruding support flange of a shrunk diameter for supporting the pump body provided beneath the atomizing nozzle, which is secured to the support flange of the tubular container by means of a mounting cap. The mounting cap has a sealing diaphragm such that when the mounting cap is forced into the tubular container, the sealing diaphragm forms a seal with an inner wall of the tubular container so as to prevent perfume dissipation. The tubular container has an inner bottom edge that is formed with at least one protruding ring for engaging a groove formed at a corresponding location of an end cap thereby providing securing and sealing effects. The overall structure allows the perfume pen to accommodate various styles and enhances shaping variety. Modulated components further facilitate to reduce manufacturing cost. As compared with prior art, the perfume pen of this invention provides a greater variety of styles, colors, integrations, prevents loosening and leakage, and allows easiness in assembling the components.
Perfume is commonly used in enhancing the surrounding aroma in a living or a vehicle environment so as to provide a delightful sense of smell. The most commonly seen perfume is contained in a bottle container, which can be placed on a dressing table or carried in a personal pouch. There also exists a pen-type perfume bottle, the so-called perfume pen that is very popular among youngsters due to its portability and relatively low price. Due to the different consumer populations, the perfume pens are different from those deluxe perfumes used by gentlewomen, who are fastidious about the quality of perfume or the designs of perfume bottles. These perfume pens need to play up to the youngster population that favor colorful and flashy designs at an acceptable expense.
The commonly seen, commercially available perfume pens mostly include a pen body made of glasses for containing the perfume. Though glasses are of finer texture and better appearance, they are liable to fracturing while encountering exterior impact. While most youngsters clip the perfume pens to their collars or pockets, the glasses containers pose a potential threat to their safety due to their highly active life styles. On the other hand, if the pen body is made of plastic materials, the remnants of the runners as a result of injection molding may easily be formed at a bottom end of the pen body so as to affect the overall smoothness and appearance of the pen body, whereas a pen body that is integrally made of glasses or plastic material can only incorporate a singular color.
Furthermore, the atomizer is usually secured to a tip end of a pen body integrally made of glasses or plastic material by means of threads. Frequent playing of the pen or external vibration may easily disengage the threaded engagement so as to subject leakage of the perfume and cause a certain degree of troubles.
In view of the above, the “improved perfume pen assembly structure” of this invention is invented in an attempt to solve the above problems after diligent trials and researches.
It is thus a primary object of this invention to provide an improved perfume pen assembly structure comprising a container portion that is of a penetrated tube. The tube has a bottom end that is capped with an end cap and a tip end that is provided with an atomizer. Engagement of the atomizer is accomplished by resilience of rubber materials in a tight-fitting manner so as to replace the conventional threaded engagement such that the modulated components facilitate to reduce manufacturing cost, and that the components are separated so as to incorporate more than a singular color whereby the final product can render a greater variety of aesthetic appearances.
In order to clearly delineate the objects, characteristics and advantages of the present invention, a few preferred embodiments are specifically explained in detail in accompany with the drawings as follows.
