Well I think that this was the one I tried..I tried it in Light/Medium as I'm very pale..I really think that there's something about my skin that doesn;t take well to selftanners of any kind, including this one. I turned yellow and stripy, despite my ultra careful application, whereas my friend went very pale brown and even..great! So, my rating is for my experience with the product, although I know others have had better ones!

I tried this last night for the first time. It is very moisturising and feels very nice on the skin, the smell is lovely going on but eventually does fade to that typical fake tan smell (not half as bad as JandJ holiday skin though)
this morning there is a hint of colour but is unfortunately a tad streaky on my legs. A good product but i would probably try others before purchasing again. UPDATE, this looks great after about the third application and exfoliating every two days, i love it now and no streaks!!

The best product ever! In just some days you look like you have been in the sun.But one thing that is kind of tricky, is that you have to wash away all the cream on your hands.Some days after your hands are much lighter comparing to your skin.

I usually don't use self tanners because on my pale skin they just turn out uneven, orangey or streaking. However this bodylotion / light selftanner from Dove really is what I've been looking for. I apply evenly, massage into skin, wash hands and some hours later I've got a nice glowy tan that isn't unnatural. Nice soft scent in the beginning, then the self tanning smell comes along, but it isn't too bad. I did notice some streaking the first time I applied this, probably because I didn't cover my body evenly, now, when I've used it a few times I've managed to get a streak free natural glow.

LOVE the fragrance - smells just like Burn's Asian Pear Persimmon fragrance. But it wears off after a couple of hours, and smells like weak fake tan. :( Have only applied once so far, so can't comment on its tanning ability, but since it sure smells like fake tan I'm sure it will do it's job. Plus it's bloody cheap!

This has a lovely fragrance and texture. It�s easy to apply, absorbs quickly and doesn�t leave my skin with a greasy residue. Best of all, it does take the ghostly white edge off pale skin. I prefer it over the Johnson�s Holiday Skin because it is less greasy, smells nicer and produces a slightly deeper tan. Will be repurchasing.

1797 $5 Small Eagle, 16 Stars AU55 NGC. BD-3, R.6....Click the image to load the highest resolution version.
Rare 1797 Small Eagle Five, AU55
1797 $5 Small Eagle, 16 Stars AU55 NGC. BD-3, R.6.
Bass-Dannreuther Obverse Die State a, Reverse Die State c. A very
rare coin that Bass-Dannreuther estimates exists only to the extent
of 20-25 pieces in all grades, this is nonetheless the most
"common" of the three known 1797 Small Eagle varieties. On the
obverse star 1 pierces the lowest curl, and the 1 in the date also
touches that curl. The last 7 in the date touches the bottom of the
bust. Star 16 virtually touches the tip of the bust, and all of the
crowded stars on both the left and right sides of the obverse touch
or nearly so. This so-called "common" variety represents the first
of three uses of this obverse die, two of which are unique. The
second pairing is with the unique Reed-Parmelee BD-4 1797 Small
Eagle coin, and the third is the unique BD-5 1797 Large Eagle, 16
Star Obverse coin, now in the Smithsonian, previously owned by
Waldo Newcomer, Colonel Green, and King Farouk.
16 Stars, BD-3 Variety
Only Four Finer Coins at NGC
On the reverse of this specimen, the two wreath ends match at their ends, and there are two berries, both outside of the wreath. Several prominent die cracks appear: one from the rim between IT through the eagle's left wing; one from the lower rim through the eagle's perch to his right (facing) leg; one connecting the right wing with the tail feathers; and a fourth from the tail feathers through the last A in AMERICA to the rim. Bass-Dannreuther estimates that about 1,000 to 1,500 coins were minted with this reverse in its single use, which is completely explainable by die failure as the various cracks progressed to the terminal state. This coin shows much luster clinging to the orange-gold surfaces. Under a loupe a couple of nicks and scratches show on Liberty's bust and neck, and a pinscratch run across the eagle's breast. While those scrapes and abrasions require mentioning, they will certainly fail to dampen enthusiasm for this exceedingly rare and beautiful coin from the early days of U.S. numismatics. Census: 1 in 55, 4 finer (6/12).

Health – including physical and mental well-being – is an important determinant of overall quality of life.
Many Rhode Islanders currently face barriers to quality healthcare; 14.6% of adults did not have health insurance in 2010 (lower than the national average but the highest rate in New England).
People without primary care or health insurance defer care or use hospital emergency rooms in times of crisis, driving up the costs of healthcare for everyone.
Rhode Island has tremendous responsibilities and opportunities in implementing new federal reforms.
Within the health sector, specific funds are available that extend our grantmaking. The FUND FOR A HEALTHY RHODE ISLAND aims to strengthen the primary care system by offering grants that improve access to primary care for Rhode Islanders. The RIGHA Foundation Fund supports projects, programs, and organizations that support healthcare in Rhode Island. The fund does not directly support medical research. For additional Information or to apply to either program, please contact YVETTE MENDEZ, HEALTHY LIVES GRANT PROGRAMS OFFICER.

South Park man dead after single-car accident in Washington County
Canonsburg police are investigating the death of a 38-year-old South Park man, who was found unresponsive following a low-speed traffic accident Thursday, according to Washington County Coroner Timothy Warco.
Mark Anthony Fox of Patrick Place died at the Canonsburg Hospital emergency room.
Witnesses reported seeing a Chevrolet pick-up truck pull onto Cavasina Drive from a restaurant parking lot. The vehicle, traveling at a low speed, struck two other vehicles and then a sign pole, where it came to a stop.
Fox was unresponsive. Witnesses removed him from the car and began CPR before he was taken to the hospital.

Vimeo Finances Web Series 'High Maintenance'
The online streamer will fund six new episodes that will air exclusively on Vimeo on Demand.
Vimeo is entering the original programming game with web series High Maintenance.
Created by casting director Katja Blichfeld (30 Rock), actor Ben Sinclair (The Big C) and Regarding Entertainment manager Russell Gregory, the 13-episode web series premiered on Vimeo last year. Now the New York-based online streamer has agreed to finance six new episodes that will launch exclusively on Vimeo on Demand later this year.
The deal is the first to result from IAC-owned Vimeo's pledge to invest $10 million in content licensing and distribution through the site's paid Vimeo on Demand platform.
"We're all huge fans of High Maintenance and couldn't be happier to make our first original programming investment in a show that's developed organically on Vimeo," said CEO Kerry Trainor.
VIDEO: Joss Whedon Releases His Latest Film via Vimeo for $5
High Maintenance, produced by Janky Clown Productions, tells the story of a weed dealer (Sinclair) as he delivers his product to a diverse set of clients. Downton Abbey's Dan Stevens and comedian Hannibal Buress have both appeared in the series.
"We're elated to be working directly with Vimeo to make our series with the creative control a television network would never afford us," Blichfeld and Sinclair said in a joint statement. "Vimeo is a platform that truly celebrates filmmaking."
Blichfeld and Sinclair are represented by Creative Artist Agency and attorney Kim Jaime at Jackoway Tyerman.

Seems clothes do make the man – at least when you're portraying Steve Jobs.
Photos of Ashton Kutcher on his way to the set of Jobs – the forthcoming indie movie about late Apple visionary Steve Jobs – emerged Friday and the resemblance between the two is undeniable. At least in the wardrobe department.
Kutcher, 34, sports long hair, a black mock turtleneck, jeans and sneakers in the photo.
As the Hollywood Reporter reported last month, Jobs will trace the late CEO's journey from California hippie to computer visionary.

DARPA Cheetah sets robot running record (video)
Last time we reported on the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) here on Pocket-lint it was busy losing a $300 million aircraft at sea (probably).
But, rather than sit about crying over spilt milk, the clever bods at the US agency responsible for the development of new technology for use by the military have been hard at work developing this robot cheetah.
Yes, you read that correctly. A US defence agency working on a robot cheetah. Good luck to whatever country the US decides to bring freedom to next. Although there's no indication that the robo-cheetah will see military action. For now, it is content to run and run and run - like a cyborg feline version of Forrest Gump.
Reaching speeds of 18mph, DARPA is claiming it has broken land speed records for legged robots - the previous best was 13.1mph, set in 1989.
"The robot's movements are designed to mimic those of fast-running animals in nature. The robot increases its stride and running speed by flexing and un-flexing its back on each step, much as an actual cheetah does," agency says.
"The current version of the Cheetah robot runs on a laboratory treadmill where it is powered by an off-board hydraulic pump, and uses a boom-like device to keep it running in the centre of the treadmill. Testing of a free-running prototype is planned for later this year."
A free-running robot cheetah. Not scary. Not scary at all.

Solid Purchase Sandra from Tucson, AZ on 11/26/2014 – Verified Buyer
These chairs are great. They are solid (heavy) and look true to form as depicted in the photos. I would have rated them a 5, except one chair arrived with some rust on the arm rail. We didn't want the hassle of returning the chair or waiting until a replacement piece could be shipped. In any event, the product (with the exception of this one random flaw) is very good. Pros: Very sturdy, solid and true to picture. Cons: rust on a scratch of one piece of assembly.

Men Are from Mars Women Are from Venus
Peter Story on Men Are from Mars Women Are from Venus
Based on the hit book by John Gray that sold more than 50 million copies worldwide, Men Are from Mars Women Are from Venus brings the differences between the sexes to life. The evening of vignettes and quips that has already stormed Europe unfolds as Peter Story—seen on CSI and the Tonight Show with Jay Leno—commands the stage. The story-telling prowess that earned him an appearance on NPR's The Moth Radio Hour animates comedic send-ups and earnest anecdotes that brush the bounds of theater, covering topics that include dating, marriage, and such delicate bedroom questions as whether it's appropriate to drink out of the waterbed.

Let me just start my saying how much I LOVE my Whitehaus sink. We spent a good amount of money gutting and completely renovating our kitchen. However, the sink is the #1 item that we get complemented on all the time. Everyone that comes into our kitchen is blown away by how gorgeous it is. The look of it isn't the only thing that I love. The quality is great too. We originally contemplated a double sink. I am so glad we went with this one instead. I remember dealing with your company was a pleasure as well. It shipped very fast and everything was in tact.

UPDATED--The California State Highway Patrol says all lanes along Interstate 5 have reopened in both directions at the state route 2 interchange following a truck crash and fire Saturday that shut them down.
The one area that remains closed is the northbound interchange to northbound I-5, which will remain that way until further notice.
The truck was loaded with thousands of gallons of fuel with the resulting fire causing damage to an underpass.
Don't these fuel tankers ever learn to slow down on a curve, this has happened repeatedly.

The present invention relates to applicators that may be used to apply cosmetics, medicine or the like.
Cosmetic applicators comprising a wand, or handle, formed by injection molding and having a foam tip attached to one end of the handle are known. The tip is usually made of two pieces of foam rubber which are heat sealed together. When the pieces of foam are heat sealed, a hard ridge forms therealong. Disadvantageously, this hard ridge can be irritating to sensitive areas of skin, such as the area around the eyes.
Conventional applicators have other undesirable characteristics in that the handle tends to disconnect from the foam tip, sometimes termed the sponge portion, due to deterioration of the adhesive after use or when it is used in a rough manner. There are generally two types of connecting means which give rise to this problem. In one type of connecting means, adhesive is applied to one end of the handle and then the handle is inserted into an opening between the pair of sponge pieces so that it is adhered to them. In the other type, the applicator may be made by preforming a sponge block then plunging the handle into it. Both types of applicator connecting means are disadvantageous.
Several patents attempt to address the aforementioned deficiencies of the prior art, i.e., the undesirable disconnection of the tip from the wand. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,746,238 to Levine discloses a handle having helical ribs formed at the handle end. Fibrous material is evenly deposited over the ends and assumes the shape of the ribbed ends. Disadvantageously, the exterior surface of the applicator, where the fibrous material is deposited, is uneven. Thus, the exterior surface is not smooth and the cosmetic medium deposited in the crevasses can not be applied to the intended area and therefore is wasted.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,003,660 to Oohinato et al. discloses a core rod and a sponge portion at an inner end of the core rod. The sponge portion is molded integral with the core rod and then subjected to foaming. The sponge portion is provided with disconnection preventive means at the inner end of the core rod; the disconnection preventive means is coated with a rubber film so that the sponge portion is firmly connected to the core rod via the rubber film. Despite its asserted advantages, the patentee admits that the design is undesirable because the tip portion "is liable to be disconnected from the core rod due to a low magnitude of resistance between the core rod and the sponge portion when it is designed in smaller dimensions as is the case with a . . . small-sized applicator." U.S. Pat. No. 5,003,660, Col. 1, lines 42-46 (emphasis added). The Oohinato et al. method of manufacture is also undesirable if the sponge portion material is prefabricated prior to applicator assembly.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,932,277 to Borah discloses a moistening device. FIG. 11 illustrates a screw threaded fastener with a central stem having spiral grooves resembling a screw head, which holds the sponge in place and prevents it from becoming displaced from the receptacle while it is being used. In addition, the Borah patent shows that the screw is flat. The Borah patent is disadvantageous, however, because the foam tip does not completely surround the screw; thus, the exposed screw could cause injury if it came into contact with sensitive areas, such as the sensitive skin of the eyes.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,491,274 to McNeill discloses an applicator tip made of a single piece of synthetic foam having a non-uniform thickness. Col. 2, lines 50-52; and Col. 3, lines 9-13. The applicator wand has, for example, projections which engage the applicator tip and secure it to the wand. The shape of the McNeil applicator tip and wand, however, could make manufacturing difficult due to the non-uniformity of the tip and the shape of the preferred wand head.
Also a source of difficulty is how to assemble in mass production a cosmetic applicator made from a solid piece of foam. The difficult arises when a cavity in a foam applicator tip is attempted to be created because foam is a flexible material. A foam tip has a tendency to compress when a cutting tool is pressed against the tip which may result in either the creation of a non-uniform cavity or no cavity at all.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,401,130 to Halford, et al. discloses a swab article having a bore in the body of the swab. The bore is created by a rotating, hollow cylindrical tool. The cylindrical tool may not, however, be effectively used to create an appropriate cavity for a wand end having a flat head.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,212,847 to Melcher et al. discloses a swab and method of manufacturing. Melcher et al. discloses that if the pad portion is formed without a slit, then the slit can be formed with a hand operated knife, a movable blade or burned with a hot electrode. A hand operated knife and a movable blade, however, may have the disadvantage with creating a cavity as described above. Similarly, the use of a hot electrode on a cosmetic applicator tip may be disadvantageous because it may leave unsightly hard ridges.
What is desired, therefore, is an applicator comprising a wand having an attached tip, wherein the tip is reliably secured to the wand without disconnection even after extended and rough use, wherein the tip is made so that it does not have any hard ridges that could irritate the user, wherein the tip completely surrounds one end of the wand, wherein the tip is also attached to the wand by an adhesive which is applied during the assembly process which does not require drying for further handling, wherein the applicator is inexpensive to manufacture and can be quickly and easily assembled.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cosmetic applicator having a tip and a wand, wherein the tip is reliably secured to the wand and does not disconnect even after prolonged or rough usage.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a cosmetic applicator of the above character having a tip having a smooth and seamless outer surface which is not irritating to the user.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide an applicator of the above character wherein the tip is made of a single piece of foam rubber having a uniform thickness.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a cosmetic applicator of the above character which is inexpensive to manufacture and which can be quickly and easily assembled.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a method of making a cosmetic applicator wherein the foam tip can be attached to a wand in a continuous, mass production fashion.
It is another object of the invention to provide a cosmetic applicator of the above character wherein the tip is attached to the wand via a threaded wand end and an adhesive which is applied during the assembly process to permit the assembled wand and tip to be handled prior to the adhesive drying.
To overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and to achieve the objects and advantages listed above, an applicator for the application of a cosmetic medium and the like is disclosed which comprises a wand, or handle, having at least one threaded end and a tip, made from a single piece of foam rubber, preferably latex foam rubber, and having an interior cavity with an open-end mouth. The threaded end of the wand is positioned substantially in the interior cavity of the tip and extends rearwardly therefrom. An adhesive is inserted at least partially inside the interior cavity of the tip and secures the tip to the threaded end of the wand.
A semi-automated method of manufacturing the applicator is also disclosed and comprises the following steps. First, a plurality of foam rubber tips are simultaneously cut from a single sheet of polymeric foam, preferably latex foam rubber. Second, the latex foam tips are positioned on a motorized turntable. The turntable rotates to a station where a slit is cut into the foam head. Then, the turntable rotates to a station where a handle, or wand, with a helically threaded screw head having adhesive applied to it is inserted and rotated into the slit.
The applicator of the present invention has two important features which are advantageous over the prior art. The first feature is the tip, which is comprised of a single piece of foam rubber. Because the tip is made of a single piece of foam rubber, it is seamless, i.e., the outer surface of the tip is smooth and has no rough edges which could cause discomfort to a user when using the applicator on sensitive areas of the skin. This is in contrast to the prior art applicators, wherein two pieces of foam, usually urethane foam, are heat sealed together, resulting in a hard ridge about the circumference of the pad.
The second advantageous feature of the applicator of one embodiment of the present invention is the threaded portion of the handle. It sufficiently engages the applicator pad and secures the pad to the handle so that the applicator may be handled, packaged and shipped before the adhesive completely dries. This is unlike conventional manufacturing processes, wherein the adhesive must dry before the applicator can be handled. Thus, many more applicators can be manufactured in a unit of time when compared to conventional applicator manufacturing processes. Once the adhesive dries, the tip is held onto the wand by the adhesive and the threads.
The invention and its particular features and advantages will become more apparent from the following detailed description when considered with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a front view of the first embodiment of the applicator with a partial cutaway of the applicator tip;
FIG. 3 is a side view of the first embodiment of the applicator shown in FIG. 2 with a partial cutaway of the applicator tip;
FIG. 4 is a bottom view of a wand of the applicator shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is top view of a wand of the applicator shown in FIG. 1;
FIGS. 6-15 are schematic views showing the method of assembling the cosmetic applicator;
FIG. 16 is a front isometric view of the mold assembly used for the method of assembly shown in FIGS. 6-15;
FIG. 17 is a top view of the mold assembly shown in FIG. 16 having a partial cutaway of the top half of the mold; and
FIG. 18 is a top view of an assembly "line" assembling the applicator shown in FIG. 1 in accordance with the method shown in FIGS. 6-15.
An applicator 10 for applying cosmetics, medicine and the like is shown in FIGS. 1-5. It should be noted that for the sake of clarity all the components and parts of applicator 10 may not be shown and/or marked in all the drawings. As used in this description, the terms "front," "back," "top," "bottom," etc. refer to applicator 10 when in the orientations illustrated in FIGS. 1-5.
Applicator 10 is designed to apply cosmetics, but can carry any suitable medium. Reference to the applicator as a cosmetic applicator is exemplary only and is not intended to be limiting.
As illustrated in FIGS. 1-3, an applicator 10 comprises a wand or handle 12 having two ends 14, 16 and a tip 18 attached at one end 14. Adhesive 20 is one of the means used to secure the tip 18 to the end 14 of the wand 12, as discussed in more detail hereinbelow.
The wand or handle 12 is made of any suitable non-corrosive material, such as plastic, glass, wood or any suitable metal or other material having sufficient rigidity for its intended purpose. Any suitable method of manufacturing the wand 12 may be used. Most preferably, the wand 12 is made of plastic formed by injection molding.
As used herein, the terms "wand" and "handle" designate any elongated, stem-like piece of material. The rigidity or stiffness of the wand or handle 12 may vary with its intended usage, such as the medium it is intended to carry.
The wand 12 has at least one end 14. In the first embodiment of the cosmetic applicator, shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the applicator wand has a threaded end. The threaded wand end 22 has a helical rib and a substantially flat head 23, which is covered by the foam rubber tip 18. This flat head prevents persons using the applicator 10 from being injured should the applicator 10 be applied too forcefully.
In the second embodiment of the cosmetic applicator, shown in FIGS. 12-14, the applicator wand has a flat head. Most preferably, the cosmetic applicator has a flat head and uses the thermoplastic attachment as described below.
The tip 18, also termed an applicator sponge or pad, is made of any suitable foam rubber, but is preferably made of latex foam rubber. The tip 18 may be formed into any shape, but preferably it is somewhat elongated and sized sufficiently so that it is not only well suited to fit one end 14 of the wand 12 but is also suitably shaped for applying cosmetics or other media to the skin.
The adhesive 20 can be either an adhesive generally used by manufacturers or can be a hypoallergenic thermoplastic material attachment that, when heated, seeps into the open cells of the tip 18 and creates an attachment after the thermoplastic cools. When the thermoplastic material is melted during assembly, it flows into the open cells 17 of the foam material of the tip 18. When the thermoplastic cools to a solid material, the thermoplastic is embedded in the foam cells 17 of the applicator tip providing an effective attachment between the applicator tip 18 and the wand 12. An advantage to using a thermoplastic material is that it cools and solidifies quicker than most adhesives.
The thermoplastic material used to attach the applicator tip 18 and the wand 12 must have a melting temperature between the temperature of hot water ordinarily found in a residential home, about 140 degrees Fahrenheit, and the melting temperature of the wand 12, approximately 180 degrees Fahrenheit. The melting temperature of a latex applicator tip 18 is greater than 250 degrees Fahrenheit. The thermoplastic material can be a material such as polypropylene, acrylic, styrene, cellulosic, vinyl, nylon or a fluorocarbon so long as its melting temperature is approximately between 140 and 180 degrees Fahrenheit, the melted material can migrate through an applicator tip to create an attachment, and the material is hypoallergenic. The preferred type of thermoplastic is Dexter EVA Polyshot Coolmelt, which is a hot melt glue.
Preferably, the tip 18 is stamped from a single piece of foam rubber 28 of substantially uniform thickness, as shown in FIG. 6, and sized to cover the threaded end 22 of the wand 12. Most preferably, the tip 18 is about one-half to about three-quarters centimeters in width. Because of its construction from a single piece of latex foam rubber, the tip 18 has an outer surface which is substantially smooth. This design is more advantageous than the design of conventional applicator tips. As discussed earlier, applicator tips of the prior art are generally made of two pieces of urethane foam which are heat sealed together; a hard ridge forms therealong, which can be irritating to a user's sensitive skin areas. In contrast, the tip 18 of the present invention 10 has no hard ridges because there is no need to heat seal two pieces of foam rubber together. Thus, the tip 18 is less irritating to a user. The edges 19 may be ground smooth or to any desired shape.
A method of manufacturing applicators in accordance with the present invention, which generally comprises the following steps, is illustrated in FIGS. 6-15. First, as shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of applicator tips 18 are formed from a single piece of latex foam rubber 28. As shown in FIG. 9, each applicator tip is individually placed within a bottom half 32 of a mold 31 which also has a top half 30. The interior of the mold 31 is fitted to the shape of the applicator tips 18. The top half 30 of the mold 31 is closed upon the bottom half 32 so that the applicator tip 18 is fitted inside the mold 31.
Next, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, four pins 34 are then slid into four pinholes 36 within the mold 31, two pinholes 36 being in each the top half 30 and the bottom half 32 of the mold 31. The four pins 34 pierce the applicator tip 18 such that two pins 34 are closer to the front of the applicator tip 18 and two pins 34 are closer to its back. Next, the bottom half 32 of the mold 31 is then pulled away a small distance from the top half 30 such that the pins 34 pull the front face of the applicator tip 18 away from the back face as shown in FIG. 10. Alternatively, the pins 34 could be arranged to pull one side of the tip 18 away from the opposing side. A slit 24 is then formed in the applicator tip 18 by inserting a cutting tool 38 into the applicator tip 18 while the top 30 and bottom 32 halves of the mold 31 are separated as shown in FIG. 11. A wand end 22 having an adhesive 20 applied to it, shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, is inserted into the slit 24 of the applicator tip 18. The applicator 10 is then ready to be removed from the mold 31.
Advantageously, when either a wand with a threaded end 22 with adhesive or a flat head 22 having thermoplastic attachment is used, the assembled applicator 10 does not require curing or drying for further handling. Thus, more applicators 10 may be produced per unit of time because one does not have to wait for the adhesive 20 or thermoplastic to dry.
A heating device 40 can be employed, however, if the drying or curing time is desired to be faster or if heat is a required part of the attachment process. FIG. 15 shows a heating device heating the applicator tip 18, the wand 12 and the adhesive 20 through an opening 35 in the bottom mold 32.
The preferred embodiment for the jig to assemble the applicator tip is a mold assembly 42, shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, which contains the upper 45 and lower 47 mold housings, mold 31, pins 34 and pin holders 37, 39, 41, 43. The upper 45 and lower 47 mold housings are connected by a hinge 44 and open and swing away from each other at the hinge 44. The top 30 and bottom 32 halves of the mold 31 are connected to upper 45 and lower 47 mold housings, respectively. Pin holders 37, 39, 41, and 42 each have a pinhole 36 to accept a pin 34. The left pin holders 37, 41 and the right pin holders 37, 43 can all move towards the mold 31 such that the pins 34 can pierce an applicator tip 18 in a mold 31, and move away from the mold 31 such that the pins 34 can be removed. The top 30 and bottom 32 halves of the mold 31 are replaceable so as to allow the molding apparatus 42 to hold different types of applicator tips 18 having different shapes.
The preferred embodiment of a revolving assembly line 51 is shown in FIG. 18. The assembly line 51 comprises a revolving round table 68 having eight mold assemblies 42, wherein one mold assembly 42 is affixed to the round table 68 at every one eighth of a revolution. The round table sits upon a larger table 70 having eight stationary stations: the loading station 46, the pin insertion station 48, the cut station 50, the first idle station 52, the insert handle station 54, the fuse glue station 56, the unload station 58, and the second idle station 60.
In operation, each mold assembly 42 beings the assembly process at the loading station 46, visits each station while rotating clockwise, and completes the assembly process at the unloading station 58. When a mold assembly 42 visits a station, either a process is completed upon the mold assembly 42 or the mold assembly 42 remains idle. The round table 68 then revolves around one eighth of a turn until each mold assembly 42 reaches its next station. This procedure is repeated until each mold assembly reaches the unloading station 58, which is the end of the assembly line 51. While the assembly line is active, all eight mold assemblies 42 are either undergoing a process or remaining idle.
The assembly procedure on the revolving assembly line begins with cutting out the applicator tips 18 from a sheet of latex foam 28. The applicator tips 18 are delivered to the assembly line 51 by the applicator tip conveyor 62. An applicator tip 18 is loaded into the mold assembly 42 at the loading station 46 by placing an applicator tip 18 in the bottom mold 32 and closing the top mold 30 onto the bottom mold 32.
After inserting an applicator tip 18 into the mold assembly, the round table 68 revolves clockwise to the pin insertion station 48. The pins of the mold assembly are pushed into the mold assembly which pierces the applicator tip 18 and holds it in place as shown in FIG. 9.
The mold assembly then revolves to the cut station 50. The bottom half 30 and top half 32 of the mold 31 are separated slightly such that the pins 34 exert a force upon the applicator tip 18 and stretch it as shown in FIG. 10. A cutting tool 38 is inserted into the applicator tip 18 as shown in FIG. 11 to create an opening 24 in the applicator tip 18.
After creating an opening, the mold assembly 42 rotates to a first idle station 52 in which no process is performed upon the mold assembly 42.
The mold assembly 42 then revolves clockwise to the insert wand station 52. The bottom half 30 and top half 32 of the mold 31 are still separated slightly such that the opening 24 is spread and made ready to receive a wand end 22. A pre-glued wand 12 is then taken from a wand conveyor 64 and the end 22 of the wand 12 is inserted into the opening 24 of the applicator tip 18 as shown in FIG. 14.
The mold assembly 42 then revolves to the fuse glue station 56. At this station, the glue 20 is dried or cured. The drying process can be accelerated by applying heat from a heating device 40 such as a hot air gun.
The mold assembly then rotates to the unload station 58. First, the pin holders 37, 39, 41, 43 are slid away from the mold assembly 42 to remove the pins 34 from the applicator tip 18. Next, the top half 30 of the mold 31 is separated from the bottom half 32 and the cosmetic applicator 10 is removed in its assembled state. The assembled cosmetic applicator 10 is placed upon a cosmetic applicator conveyor 66 which transports the applicators 10 to be handled or packaged. The tip 18 of the applicator 10 can be buffed or shaped at a buffing station 72.
The mold assembly 42 then rotates to a first idle station 52 in which no process is performed upon the mold assembly 42. The above procedure is then repeated beginning at the next station, the load station 46.
From the foregoing description, it can thus be seen that the applicator 10 of the present invention provides and inexpensive and yet highly effective swab that can be quickly, easily and inexpensively manufactured in a process that is almost entirely automated.
It should be understood that the foregoing is illustrative and not limiting and that obvious modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention. Accordingly, reference should be made primarily to the accompanying claims, rather than the foregoing specification, to determine the scope of the invention.
