the combined structure is insert molded onto the first end of the tubular sleeve as a single piece.
3. The cosmetic container of claim 1 wherein:
the tubular sleeve is an extruded tube having a thickness of 0.1 mm to 2 mm;
the combined structure is separately formed and then attached to the tubular sleeve by at least one of mechanical force, adhesive, or welding.
4. The cosmetic container of claim 1 wherein the dispenser comprises an exterior having at least one tab, slot, annular protrusion or indentation for securing to a first applicator adapted for securing to the dispenser, and the cosmetic container further comprises the first applicator.
5. The cosmetic container of claim 4 wherein the first applicator comprises a metal or ceramic applicator.
6. The cosmetic container of claim 4 wherein the outer cap further comprises a stem having a second applicator thereon, the cosmetic container further comprising a wiper adapted for placement within the inner cap, wherein the stem and second applicator are configured to pass through the wiper.
7. The cosmetic container of claim 1 , further comprising an O-ring adapted for placement around the outer side of the inner cap to provide a seal between the inner cap and the outer cap.
8. The cosmetic container of claim 1 , wherein the tubular sleeve defines a single cavity, wherein the outer cap includes a second applicator, wherein the first applicator and the second applicator are each in fluid communication with the single cavity.
9. The cosmetic container of claim 8 , wherein the second applicator is disposed within the single cavity when the outer cap is disposed on the inner cap.
10. A cosmetic container, comprising:
a tubular sleeve defining a cavity and having a first end with a first opening and a second end with a second opening, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween,
a combined structure including an upper sidewall and a dispenser, the combined structure attached to the first end of the tubular sleeve, the upper sidewall having an inner side and an outer side, the outer side including outer threads, the upper sidewall having an outer diameter less than an outer diameter of the tubular sleeve, the dispenser having a passageway extending to at least a portion of an interior of the tubular sleeve;
a cap assembly having an inner cap and an outer cap, wherein the inner cap is molded onto the second end of the tubular sleeve, the inner cap having outer threads on an outer side of the inner cap;
wherein the outer cap has a bottom and an outer wall, the outer wall having inner threads configured to engage with the outer threads of the outer side of the inner cap;
wherein the second opening allows access to the cavity of the tubular sleeve; and
wherein the dispenser extends longitudinally beyond the outer threads, away from the tubular sleeve.
11. A cosmetic container, comprising:
a tubular sleeve defining a cavity and having a first end with a first opening and a second end with a second opening, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween;
a combined structure including an upper sidewall and a dispenser, the combined structure attached to the first end of the tubular sleeve, the upper sidewall having an inner side and an outer side, the outer side including outer threads, the upper sidewall having an outer diameter less than an outer diameter of the tubular sleeve, the dispenser having a passageway extending to at least a portion of an interior of the tubular sleeve;
a cap assembly having an inner cap and an outer cap, wherein the inner cap is molded onto the second end of the tubular sleeve, the inner cap having outer threads on an outer side of the inner cap;
wherein the outer cap has a bottom and an outer wall, the outer wall having inner threads configured to engage with the outer threads of the outer side of the inner cap;
wherein the second opening allows access to the cavity of the tubular sleeve; and
wherein an outer diameter of outer wall of the outer cap and the outer diameter of the tubular sleeve are the same.
