Abstract
Abstract The present invention concerns a container containing dehydrated cosmetic substances placed in a case and ampoules of physiological serum or some other solution. These substances, stored at ambient temperature, are impregnated with serum before being brought to freezing temperature prior to use. According to FIG. 1 the device is characterized by an isothermic plastic case (1) containing the substance and two ampoules (2) of serum placed separately in a container.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
A device for storing a freezable substance of fetal or cosmetic origin at ambient temperature, comprising: an isothermic case for containing a dehydrated fetal or cosmetic substance, said case having a generally cylindrical wall, a closed end and an open end; a cover for closing and reopening the case, said cover including a base portion and an annular portion extending from the base portion, said annular portion sized and shaped to fit in a sealing engagement with a portion of the generally cylindrical wall defining the open end of said case; and means for communicating a rehydrating substance from an external source to within the closed case.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
107 words
A device for storing a freezable substance of fetal or cosmetic origin at ambient temperature, comprising: an isothermic case for containing a dehydrated fetal or cosmetic substance, said case having a generally cylindrical wall, a closed end and an open end; a cover for closing and reopening the case, said cover including a base portion and an annular portion extending from the base portion, said annular portion sized and shaped to fit in a sealing engagement with a portion of the generally cylindrical wall defining the open end of said case; and means for communicating a rehydrating substance from an external source to within the closed case.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
A device according to claim 1, wherein the means for communicating comprises at least one orifice disposed in the base portion of the cover; said at least one orifice adapted for receiving a rehydrating substance from the external source.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
A device according to claim 1, further comprising a member projecting from an inside surface of the base portion of the cover to within the closed case for supporting the fetal or cosmetic substance when it is rehydrated and frozen.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
A device according to claim 1, wherein the cover is formed of an isothermic plastic.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
A device according to claim 1, wherein the external source comprises at least one ampoule and the rehydrating substance is a physiological serum.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
52 words
A device according to claim 1, wherein an end portion of the case, adjacent to the open end thereof is cylindrical; a remaining portion of the wall of the case forms a truncated cone; and the closed end of the case is disposed at the smaller end of the truncated conical wall.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
38 words
A device according to claim 3, wherein the member has a first end integral with the base and a second end projecting within the closed case; and a hole is formed in the second end of the member.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
161 words
A method for preparing a freezable substance of fetal or cosmetic origin for cosmetological application, comprising the steps of: (A). containing a dehydrated or cosmetic fetal substance in a closed device, at ambient temperature, said device comprising: an isothermic case for containing a dehydrated fetal or cosmetic substance, said case having a generally cylindrical wall, a closed end and an open end; a cover for closing and reopening the case, said cover including a base portion and an annular portion extending from the base portion, said annular portion sized and shaped to fit in a sealing engagement with a portion of the generally cylindrical wall defining the open end of said case; and means for communicating a rehydrating substance from an external source to within the closed case; (B). separately containing a rehydrating substance; (C). mixing the dehydrated fetal or cosmetic substance with the rehydrating substance by introducing said rehydrating substance into the closed device; and (D). freezing the rehydrated substance.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
161 words
A method for preparing a freezable substance of fetal or cosmetic origin for cosmetological application, comprising the steps of: (A). containing a dehydrated or cosmetic fetal substance in a closed device, at ambient temperature, said device comprising: an isothermic case for containing a dehydrated fetal or cosmetic substance, said case having a generally cylindrical wall, a closed end and an open end; a cover for closing and reopening the case, said cover including a base portion and an annular portion extending from the base portion, said annular portion sized and shaped to fit in a sealing engagement with a portion of the generally cylindrical wall defining the open end of said case; and means for communicating a rehydrating substance from an external source to within the closed case; (B). separately containing a rehydrating substance; (C). mixing the dehydrated fetal or cosmetic substance with the rehydrating substance by introducing said rehydrating substance into the closed device; and (D). freezing the rehydrated substance.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
