Description
- The present invention relates to a cosmetic case for holding at least one sachet, and more particularly to a Cosmetic Case that allows the user to remove single dose applicator sachets.
- Small cosmetic cases are well known in the industry. However, there is always a need to design and create unique cosmetic cases specifically engineered to solve a purpose. As opposed to a cosmetic case that contains an open cosmetic, which can dry out or spill. As such, the industry has developed cosmetic cases to hold pre-packaged single dose sachets (see document
KR200457672Y1 - In one embodiment of the present invention there is provided a cosmetic case for holding at least one sachet according to claim 1.
- In another embodiment of the invention, the sleeve further includes a circular extension under the top surface region and around the terminal edge being sized to fit into a circular indentation defined on the top ridge of the substructure, thus when the sleeve well is fitted into the sub-well the sleeve is able to twist about the substructure.
- In yet another embodiment of the invention the at least one channel includes two channels distally positioned around the inside surface wall, each channel separately accommodating a protruding knob defined on the sleeve. It is also possible that the at least one channel is wider near the inner periphery edge and tapers to a narrower opening near the lower ridge.
- In further embodiments the lid includes: a lid top surface extending to a lid terminal edge; a lid shoulder section extending from the terminal edge downwardly towards the base and ending at a lid shoulder lip; and a lid inner surface defined about the lid top surface configured to include an indented profile. The indented profile on the lid inner surface is configured to accommodate a raised portion defined on the sleeve.
- In another aspect of the invention, the substructure has an outside surface wall that extends to a height above the base side wall upper edge, configured to prevent the base side wall upper edge to come into contact with the lid shoulder lip defining a gap between the lid and base when the case is in a closed configuration.
- The cosmetic case in a different embodiment may define the base side wall configured to include a gap along the base side wall upper edge and along the rear portion to accommodate a flange extending from the lid and which aligns with openings for a pin to form a hinge pin.
- The cosmetic case in yet a different embodiment may comprise an overhang stop extending over the sub-well and configured to come into contact with a portion of a bottom ridge defined at a bottom of the side opening in the sleeve to prevent the complete removal of the sleeve from the substructure.
- In another embodiment of the present invention there is provided a cosmetic case for holding at least one sachet according to claim 10.
- Numerous other advantages and features of the invention will become readily apparent from the following detailed description of the invention and the embodiments thereof, from the claims, and from the accompanying drawings.

- Referring now to the figures,
FIGS. 1 through 13 , there is shown acosmetic case 100. While the illustration of the case is in an octagonal polygon, the actual shape of the case can be changed while maintaining the functionality of thecase 100. The case includes alid 105 connected to abase 110 by ahinge pin 115 along therear portion 120 of thecase 100. - The
lid 105 includes atop surface 130 which extends to aterminal edge 132. Ashoulder section 134 extends from the terminal edge downwardly towards thebase 110 and ends at ashoulder lip 136 along theentire shoulder section 134. In addition, theinner surface 138 of thetop surface 130 includes anindented profile 140 to accommodate a raisedportion 182 defined on the sleeve 180 (described in greater detail below). - As provided the
lid 105 is hinged to thebase 110. Thebase 110 includes alower surface 160, which terminates to abase edge 162 and then extends upwardly along abase side wall 164 to create a well 166 therebetween. Thebase side wall 164 extends to a side wallupper edge 168. Thebase side wall 164 further includes agap 170 along theupper edge 168 and along therear portion 120 to accommodate aflange 172 extending from thelid 105 and which aligns with openings for apin 174 all to form thehinge pin 115. Thelower surface 160 accommodates aspring 176 that is compressed between thelower surface 160 and aplatform 178. Thespring 176 biases the platform away from the base such that when asachet 200 is removed, theplatform 178 pushes the next sachet upwards. - As mentioned above, the
case 100 includes asleeve 180 that is removable from thebase 110. This is accomplished by includes asubstructure 210 fitted and secured into the well 166 defined by thebase 110. Thesubstructure 210 includes atop ridge 212 extending radially inwards towards aninner periphery edge 214. Ainside surface wall 216 extends from theinner periphery edge 214 downwardly towards alower ridge 218 that extends radially inward. Thelower ridge 218 is adjacent thelower surface 160. This also creates asub-well 220. Theinside surface wall 216 includes achannel 222 extending from theinner periphery edge 214 to thelower ridge 218. Thechannel 222 is wider near theinner periphery edge 214 and tapers to a narrower opening near thelower ridge 218. Thechannel 222 further includes anotch 224 adjacent the channel at thelower ridge 218. This allows for thesleeve 180 to slide down and twist to secure in place. In addition, thesubstructure 210 has anoutside surface wall 226 that when thesubstructure 210 is positioned in the base well 166 extends at a height above theupper edge 168 of thebase side wall 164. This prevents theupper edge 168 to come into contact with theshoulder lip 136; leaving agap 228 between the lid and base when in a closed configuration. - The
sleeve 180 includes atop surface region 184 extending inwardly into a sleeve well 186 with a defined sleevewell side wall 188. The sleeve well 186 is shaped to accommodate the sachets. As noted above thetop surface region 184 further includes a raisedportion 182 that has acurved profile 183 that hangs over a portion of the sleeve well 186 in order to hold the sachets down against the force of the spring. The sleeve wellside wall 188 includes aside opening 189 under thetop surface region 184 to allow for the replacement of sachets. In addition, outside of the sleeve wellside wall 188 includes a pair of protrudingknobs 190 positioned such that each knob slides in thechannel 222 and notch 224 of thesubstructure 210. - Lastly, under the
top surface region 184 there is acircular extension 192 around theterminal edge 194 sized to fit into acircular indentation 213 on the substructure, thus when the sleeve well 186 is fitted into the sub-well 220 thesleeve 180 is able to twist about the substructure even if the outer profile is a polygon. The protruding knobs 190 acting within the channel and notch provide for twisting stops to prevent the sleeve from being over twisting or misaligned. - It is further possible that the substructure and the base are a unitary piece molded together to prevent separation or for ease of production.
- For use of the
case 100, the user twists the sleeve and pulls up to gain access to theside opening 189 to refill the sachets. In one embodiment the sleeve can complete be removed but it is possible to prevent the removal of the substructure. InFIG. 14 , thesubstructure 210 includes anoverhang stop 215 configured to catch abottom ridge 187 defined at the bottom of theside opening 189 to prevent the removal of the sleeve from thesubstructure 210 but still allows access to the opening to refill the sachets. - From the foregoing and as mentioned above, it is observed that numerous variations and modifications may be effected without departing from the scope of the appended claims, which define the invention.
