Multi-movement cosmetic device

Abstract

A multi-movement cosmetic assembly includes a housing defining an interior; a drive system disposed within the housing; a sleeve received within the housing; and a drive shaft positioned in the sleeve. The drive system is operably coupled to the sleeve and the drive shaft such that actuation of the drive system causes (i) the sleeve to move laterally back and forth to oscillate relative to the housing, and (ii) the drive shaft to rotate relative to the housing.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A multi-movement cosmetic assembly, comprising:
 a housing defining an interior;   a drive system disposed within the housing;   a sleeve coupled to the housing; and   a drive shaft positioned in the sleeve;   wherein the drive system is operably coupled to the sleeve and the drive shaft such that actuation of the drive system causes (i) the sleeve to move laterally back and forth to oscillate relative to the housing, and (ii) the drive shaft to rotate relative to the housing.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the drive shaft is configured to be received by an attachment removably positioned within the sleeve, wherein the attachment includes an abrasive member, and wherein the attachment is operably coupled to the drive shaft when the attachment is received in the sleeve such that a rotation of the drive shaft causes a corresponding movement of the abrasive member. 
     
     
         3 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the attachment is carried by the sleeve to move laterally therewith in a reciprocating motion relative to the housing. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein movement of the sleeve is not a function of movement of the driveshaft. 
     
     
         5 . A multi-movement cosmetic assembly, comprising:
 a device including:   a housing defining an interior;   a drive system disposed within the housing; and   an attachment configured to be removably coupled to the housing;   wherein the drive system is operably coupled to the attachment when the attachment is coupled to the housing such that actuation of the drive system causes the attachment to simultaneously move laterally back and forth to oscillate relative to the housing and rotate relative to the housing.   
     
     
         6 . The multi-movement cosmetic assembly of  claim 5  further comprising a drive shaft operable coupled to the drive system and the attachment, the drive shaft applying a rotational force to the attachment. 
     
     
         7 . The multi-movement cosmetic assembly of  claim 6  wherein the lateral movement of the attachment is not a function of movement of the driveshaft. 
     
     
         8 . The multi-movement cosmetic assembly of  claim 5  further wherein the lateral movement is substantially perpendicular to an axis of a longest dimension of the housing.
