Lip balm tube system

Abstract

A lip balm tube system including a container having a housing including an open top end, an inner-volume which contains a semi-soft cosmetic product such as lip balm, a content-level-indicator, and a lid, and a dispensing mechanism. The dispensing mechanism dispenses contents within the inner-volume. The content level indicator includes a transparent window which extends along a length of the housing of the container for viewing a relative content level of the contents within the inner-volume.

What is claimed is new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims: 
     
         1 . A lip balm tube system comprising:
 a container having;
 a housing including; 
 an open top end; 
 an inner-volume configured to contain a semi-soft cosmetic product; 
 a content-level-indicator; and 
 a lid; 
   a dispensing mechanism is housed within said housing and configured to dispense contents within said inner-volume;   wherein said container comprises said housing having said open top end, said inner volume, said content-level-indicator, and said lid, and said dispensing mechanism; and   wherein said content level indicator comprises a transparent window positioned and extends along a length of said housing of said container for viewing a relative content level of said contents within said inner-volume.   
     
     
         2 . The lip balm tube system of  claim 1 , wherein said housing with an exception of said content-level-indicator is non-transparent. 
     
     
         3 . The lip balm tube system of  claim 1 , wherein said container is rigid. 
     
     
         4 . The lip balm tube system of  claim 1 , wherein said container is flexible. 
     
     
         5 . The lip balm tube system of  claim 1 , wherein said dispensing mechanism is coupled to a platform able to dispense said contents via moving said platform from a bottom-end of said container towards said open top-end of said container. 
     
     
         6 . The lip balm tube system of  claim 5 , wherein said transparent window vertically extends from said bottom-end of said container towards said open top-end of said container. 
     
     
         7 . The lip balm tube system of  claim 6 , wherein said transparent window comprises an elongated profile. 
     
     
         8 . The lip balm tube system of  claim 7 , wherein said transparent window is a continuous linear viewing opening. 
     
     
         9 . The lip balm tube system of  claim 1 , wherein said semi-soft cosmetic product comprises a lip-product. 
     
     
         10 . The lip balm tube system of  claim 9 , wherein said lip-product comprises lip balm. 
     
     
         11 . The lip balm tube system of  claim 5 , wherein said semi-soft cosmetic product is supported on a top-surface of said platform. 
     
     
         12 . The lip balm tube system of  claim 11 , wherein said platform is positioned within said housing for supporting said semi-soft cosmetic product, said platform is visible through said transparent window as said platform is moved towards said open top end of said container. 
     
     
         13 . The lip balm tube system of  claim 1 , wherein said lid is removeable to expose said contents at said open top end. 
     
     
         14 . The lip balm tube system of  claim 1 , wherein said container comprises a cylindrical profile. 
     
     
         15 . The lip balm tube system of  claim 5 , wherein said dispensing mechanism comprises a disk configured outside of said housing and able to be manipulated by a user to raise and lower said platform. 
     
     
         16 . The lip balm tube system of  claim 5 , wherein said disk is positioned at said bottom-end of said container. 
     
     
         17 . A lip balm tube system comprising:
 a container having;
 a housing including; 
 an open top end; 
 an inner-volume configured to contain a semi-soft cosmetic product; 
 a content-level-indicator; and 
 a lid; 
   a dispensing mechanism is housed within said housing and configured to dispense contents within said inner-volume;   wherein said semi-soft cosmetic product comprises a lip-product;   wherein said lip-product comprises lip balm;   wherein said container comprises said housing having said open top end, said inner volume, said content-level-indicator, and said lid, and said dispensing mechanism;   wherein said container is rigid;   wherein said container comprises a cylindrical profile;   wherein said content level indicator comprises a transparent window positioned and extends along a length of said housing of said container for viewing a relative content level of said contents within said inner-volume;   wherein said housing with an exception of said content-level-indicator is non-transparent;   wherein said dispensing mechanism is coupled to a platform able to dispense said contents via moving said platform from a bottom-end of said container towards said open top-end of said container;   wherein said dispensing mechanism comprises a disk configured outside of said housing and able to be manipulated by a user to raise and lower said platform;   wherein said disk is positioned at said bottom-end of said container;   wherein said semi-soft cosmetic product is supported on a top-surface of said platform;   wherein said platform is positioned within said housing for supporting said semi-soft cosmetic product, said platform is visible through said transparent window as said platform is moved towards said open top end of said container;   wherein said lid is removeable to expose said contents at said open top end;   wherein said transparent window vertically extends from said bottom-end of said container towards said open top-end of said container;   wherein said transparent window comprises an elongated profile; and   wherein said transparent window is a continuous linear viewing opening.
