Description
- This invention relates to a screen cap, particularly to a double-layered screen cap applied to a cosmetics container.
- A conventional cosmetics container, as shown in
Fig. 1 , includes a bottle 1, ascreen cap 2 covered on the opening of the bottle 1 and bored with a plurality ofinsert holes 3, a transparent sticker 4 stuck to a location corresponding to theinsert holes 3 of thescreen cap 2 and acover 5 covered around the outer side of thescreen cap 2. Thus, cosmetic material, such as loose powder and the like, can be filled into the bottle 1 and then thescreen cap 2 and thecover 5 are orderly covered. In using, firstly, tear off the transparent sticker 4 and then, shake the bottle 1 and control the amount of the cosmetic material needed for use to pass through theinsert holes 3 and get to thescreen cap 2 and at this time, a user can employ a powder puff to touch the cosmetic material for carrying out making up. - However, after a user finishes applying cosmetics, since the transparent sticker 4 is apt to touch the cosmetic material and lose viscosity; therefore, the transparent sticker 4 can no longer adhere to the
screen cap 2 and hermetically seal theinsert holes 3. As a result, when a user carries along such a conventional cosmetics container, the cosmetic material in the cosmetics container can freely pass through theinsert holes 3 to touch and soil thecover 5 and further, when a user opens thecover 5, cosmetic material is easy to sprinkle out of the cosmetics container. - To improve the defects of the first conventional cosmetics container, a second conventional cosmetic container, as shown in
Fig. 2 , is to have theinsert holes 3 provided at one side of thescreen cap 2 and to employ arotary cover 6 to substitute for the transparent sticker 4, and therotary cover 6 is eccentrically provided with anopening 7 at a location aligned to theinsert holes 3. In using, only turn around therotary cover 6 to let theopening 7 aligned to theinsert holes 3 and thus the cosmetic material can be obtained for use, and when the cosmetic material is not in use, therotary cover 6 is turned around again to let theopening 6 and the insert holes staggered for restrictedly positioning the cosmetic material in the bottle 1. - Although foresaid improved screen cap can restrictedly position the cosmetic material in the bottle 1 yet, to enable the
rotary cover 6 to be turned around, a certain gap may be formed between therotary cover 6 and thescreen cap 2 and hence, the cosmetic material is still apt to get out of theinsert holes 3, pass through the gap and come out of therotary cover 6. -
US 3 850 350 A relates to another screen cap of the prior art that includes a cover having a hinge dividing the cover into two portions. - Therefore, the inventor of this invention thinks that the conventional screen cap of the cosmetics container has to be ameliorated and hence devises this invention.
- The objective of this invention is to offer a double-layered screen cap of a cosmetics container as defined in claim 1. Preferred features of the invention are set-out in the dependent claims.
- The double-layered screen cap is able to completely seal up the insert holes of the screen cap and surely restrict and position the cosmetic material in a cosmetics container for preventing the cosmetic material from getting out of the cosmetics container.
- The double-layered screen cap of a cosmetics container in the present invention includes a lower cap and an upper cap pivotally connected together by a connecting unit. The lower cap is formed with a bottom wall having a circumferential edge extended upward and formed with an annular wall, having an accommodating space enclosed between the bottom wall and the annular wall, and the bottom wall is bored with a plurality of insert holes. The upper cap to be covered on the accommodating space of the lower cap has an underside fixed with a plurality of projections corresponding to the insert holes of the bottom wall to be respectively and correspondingly inserted in the insert holes for sealing up the insert holes. The connecting unit is pivotally connected between the annular wall of the lower cap and a circumferential edge of the upper cap to enable the upper cap to be turned relative to the lower cap.
- The double-layered screen cap of this invention can be assembled in a cosmetics container. The cosmetics container is formed with a bottle for receiving cosmetic material therein, and the double-layered screen cap is set in an opening of the bottle. Thus, when the upper cap is covered on the accommodating space of the lower cap, the projections of the upper cap will be respectively and correspondingly inserted in the insert holes of the lower cap to hermetically seal up the insert holes for restrictedly positioning the cosmetic material in the cosmetics container and prevent the cosmetic material from getting out of the cosmetics container.

screen cap 100 of a cosmetics container in the present invention, as shown inFigs. 3 and4 , includes alower cap 10, anupper cap 20 and a connectingunit 30 combined together. - The
lower cap 10 is formed with abottom wall 11 having its circumferential edge circularly provided with anannular wall 12, having an accommodating space enclosed between thebottom wall 11 and theannular wall 12, and thebottom wall 11 is bored with a plurality ofinsert holes 14. In this preferred embodiment, theinsert holes 14 are arranged in an asterisk-like shape and positioned at an intermediate portion of thebottom wall 11. Theannular wall 12 has its top edge expanded outward to form afirst stop lip 15, its inner side circularly provided with anannular engage recess 16 and its outer side disposed with a plurality of bulgy tighteningblocks 17 spaced apart and having anair passageway 18 formed between every two tighteningblocks 17. - The
upper cap 20 to be covered on theaccommodating space 13 of thelower cap 10 has its underside provided with a plurality ofprojections 21 corresponding to theinsert holes 14 of thelower cap 10 to be respectively and correspondingly inserted in theinsert holes 14 for sealing up theinsert holes 14, and eachprojection 21 has a free end formed with aguide slant 22. Further, theupper cap 20 has a circumferential side provided with asecond stop lip 23 corresponding to thefirst stop lip 15 of thelower cap 10, and anengage block 24 corresponding to theengage recess 16 so that theengage block 24 can be engaged with theengage recess 16 of thelower cap 10. Furthermore, theupper cap 20 has the circumferential edge of its underside annularly formed with a guide camberedsurface 25 and has its topside recessed and formed with anaccommodating groove 26 and also provided with apull handle 27 at a location adjacent to theaccommodating groove 26. - The connecting
unit 30 is pivotally assembled between theannular wall 12 of thelower cap 10 and the circumferential edge of theupper cap 20 for movably connecting them together to enable theupper cap 20 and thelower cap 10 to be turned relatively. In this preferred embodiment, the connectingunit 30 is integrally connected between thefirst stop lip 15 of thelower cap 10 and thesecond stop lip 23 of theupper cap 20. - Referring to
Fig. 5 , the double-layeredscreen cap 100 is to be received in acosmetic container 200, such as a face powder case. Thecosmetics container 200 consists of abottle 201 and acover 202 covered on the opening of thebottle 201, and the double-layeredscreen cap 100 is positioned between thebottle 201 and thecover 202 of thecosmetic container 200. In using, firstly,cosmetic material 300 like loose powder is filled in thebottle 201 and then, thelower cap 10 is jammed in the opening of thebottle 201 and theupper cap 20 is covered on thelower cap 10, letting theupper cap 20 guided by the guide camberedsurface 25 to be smoothly received in theaccommodating space 13 of thelower cap 10. At this time, theprojections 21 of theupper cap 20 will be respectively and correspondingly inserted in theinsert holes 14 of thelower cap 10 to seal up theinsert holes 14 for restrictedly positioning thecosmetic material 300 in thecosmetics container 200 and preventing thecosmetic material 300 from getting out of thecosmetics container 200. Lastly, apowder puff 400 is set in theaccommodating groove 26 of theupper cap 20 and thecover 202 is covered on thebottle 201, thus finishing filling of thecosmetic material 300. - Referring to
Fig. 6 , since theprojections 21 of theupper cap 20 have their free ends respectively formed with aguide slant 22; therefore, when theupper cap 20 is covered on thelower cap 10 and received in theaccommodating space 13 of thelower cap 10, theprojections 21 can be guided by theirguide slants 22 to be surely inserted in thecorresponding insert holes 14 and theupper cap 20 can be smoothly covered on thelower cap 10. - Referring to
Fig. 7 , theannular wall 12 of thelower cap 10 has its inner side circularly cut with theengage recess 16, while theupper cap 20 has its outer circumferential wall provided with theengage block 24 at a location corresponding to theengage recess 16; therefore, when theupper cap 20 is covered on thelower cap 10, the engageblock 24 is able to be engaged with theengage recess 16, able to firmly fix theupper cap 20 and thelower cap 10 together. Thus, theupper cap 20 can be prevented from opening by itself when thecosmetics container 200 is bumped, and theprojections 21 can be insured to be stably inserted in theinsert holes 14 for hermetically sealing theinsert holes 14. - Referring to
Fig. 8 , since theannular wall 12 of thelower cap 10 has its outer side provided with the plurality of bulgy tighteningblocks 17 and theair passageway 18 is formed between every two tighteningblocks 17; therefore, when thelower cap 10 is jammed into the opening of thebottle 201, thelower cap 10 can be tightly fastened to the inner wall of thebottle 201 by means of the tighteningblocks 17, thus reinforcing fixation of thelower cap 10 in thebottle 201. In addition, in a course of jamming thelower cap 10 into thebottle 201, air in thebottle 201 can flow out of thebottle 201 via theair passageways 18 to enable thelower cap 10 to be smoothly set in the opening of thebottle 201. - Referring to
Fig. 9 , to employ thecosmetic material 300 in thecosmetics container 200 to carry out making up, a user needs only to open thecover 202 and take out thepowder puff 400 and then remove theupper cap 20 out of theaccommodating space 13 of thelower cap 10 by thepull handle 27 to actuate theprojections 21 to disengage from theinsert holes 14. Subsequently, thebottle 201 is shaken to control the amount of thecosmetic material 300 needed for use to pass through theinsert holes 14 and get into theaccommodating space 13 of thelower cap 10 and at this time, the user can employ thepowder puff 400 to touch thecosmetic material 300 for carrying out making up. Since theupper cap 20 and thelower cap 10 are pivotally connected together; therefore, in a course of applying cosmetics, it is unnecessary to additionally look for a place for storing theupper cap 20, thus not only preventing theupper cap 20 from losing, but also avoiding theupper cap 20 being soiled when theupper cap 20 is deposited at some other places. - Since the insert holes 14 of the
lower cap 10 in the first preferred embodiment is arranged in an asterisk-like shape and positioned at an intermediate portion of thebottom wall 11. Therefore, when thebottle 201 is shaken, a great amount ofcosmetic material 300 will come out of insert holes 14, but too muchcosmetic material 300 is not suitable for a user who needs only a littlecosmetic material 300 to fix her makeup. Therefore, a second preferred embodiment of a double-layered screen cap of a cosmetics container in the present invention, as shown inFig. 10 , is to have the insert holes 14 of thebottom wall 11 arranged in a semicircular shape and provided at one side of thebottom wall 11 to enable a user to get a small amount ofcosmetic material 300 by obliquely shaking thebottle 201. -
Fig. 11 andFig. 12 are a perspective view and a cross-sectional view of a third preferred embodiment of a double-layered screen cap of a cosmetic container in a using condition in the present invention. In some applications, thecosmetics container 200 may have thebottle 201 containing at least two storingspaces 204 that are separated by apartition 203, so that the two storingspaces 204 can be used to receive at least two differentcosmetic materials 300. As adaptation to this, in the present embodiment, the double-layeredscreen cap 100 has at least oneretaining wall 19 running diametrically through it inside theannular wall 12, so that at least two accommodating spaces are defined by thebottom wall 11, theannular wall 12, and the retainingwall 19. Additionally,upper caps 20 are quantitatively identical to theaccommodating spaces 13, so as to cover theaccommodating spaces 13, respectively. Also, there are connecting units 30quantitatively identical to theaccommodating spaces 13, for connecting between theupper caps 20 and thelower caps 10. Therein, thebottom wall 11 has an underside provided with apositioning recess 191 positionally corresponding to the retainingwall 19. Thepositioning recess 191 is configured to engage with thepartition 203, so that the double-layeredscreen cap 100 can fittingly cover thecosmetics container 200. Thereby, a user may selectively open one of theupper caps 20 capping the verycosmetic material 300 he/she wants to use. In this way, the cosmetic container is versatile for it can provide separate storage and individual provision of different materials.
