Abstract
The cosmetic dispenser is comprised of a barrel that is closed at a lower end by a screw and elevator assembly and on the upper end by an integrally molded top wall. The integrally molded top wall has a weakened area at its periphery and a gripping means such as a loop whereby the top wall can be removed by severing the weakened area. The removed top wall is discarded and the screw turned to raise a portion above the sidewalls. The integrally molded top wall can be integrally molded with the barrel or it can be integrally molded to an adaptor which fits onto the top of the barrel to provide a compound curved top edge for comfort in applying the cosmetic to a skin surface. In this latter embodiment the top wall has a peripheral weakened area whereby the top wall is removed by severing this top wall at the peripheral weakened area. The structure of these embodiments provides a positively sealed and easily opened cosmetic dispenser.
