Lifting and Resetting Assembly for a Container Cap

The present invention relates generally to a cosmetic container. More specifically, the present invention relates to a lifting and resetting assembly, and a container cap having the lifting and resetting assembly.

The cosmetic containers containing cosmetic liquid (such as cream containers, etc.) are usually covered and sealed by a cap, through a connection between the cap and the cosmetic container. The cap can cover the liquid drainage channel on the cosmetic container to prevent the leakage of cosmetic liquid. In order to improve the absorption effect of makeup liquid, some cosmetic containers add physiotherapy components (such as phototherapy lamp panels) to the cap to achieve a phototherapy effect on the skin.

However, the treatment components inside the cap must be moved some distance to avoid sufficient installation space to connect the cap to the cosmetic container. When phototherapy is required, the physiotherapy component needs to be moved in the opposite direction to extend the cap. Therefore, there is a need for a mechanism in which reciprocating movement of the physiotherapy components is there inside the cap.

In the context of the specification, the phrase “storage device” refers to a non-volatile storage memory such as EPROM, EEPROM, flash memory, or the like.

In the context of the specification, the phrase “communication interface” refers to a device or a module enabling direct connectivity via wires and connectors such as USB, HDMI, VGA, or wireless connectivity such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, or Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN) implemented through TCP/IP, IEEE 802.x, GSM, CDMA, LTE, or other equivalent protocols.

In the context of this specification, terms like “light”, “radiation”, “irradiation”, “emission” and “illumination”, etc. refer to electromagnetic radiation in frequency ranges varying from the Ultraviolet (UV) frequencies to Infrared (IR) frequencies and wavelengths, wherein the range is inclusive of visible light, UV and IR frequencies and wavelengths. It is to be noted here that UV radiation can be categorized in several manners depending on respective wavelength ranges, all of which are envisaged to be under the scope of this invention. For example, UV radiation can be categorized as, Hydrogen Lyman-α (122-121 nm), Far UV (200-122 nm), Middle UV (300-200 nm), and Near UV (400-300 nm). The UV radiation may also be categorized as UVA (400-315 nm), UVB (315-280 nm), and UVC (280-100 nm) Similarly, IR radiation may also be categorized into several categories according to respective wavelength ranges which are again envisaged to be within the scope of this invention.
