Definitions

  • 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.
  • a cosmetic case for holding at least one sachet according to claim 1.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a cosmetic case for holding at least one sachet according to claim 10.
  • FIGS. 1 through 13 there is shown a cosmetic 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 the case 100.
  • the case includes a lid 105 connected to a base 110 by a hinge pin 115 along the rear portion 120 of the case 100.
  • the lid 105 includes a top surface 130 which extends to a terminal edge 132.
  • a shoulder section 134 extends from the terminal edge downwardly towards the base 110 and ends at a shoulder lip 136 along the entire shoulder section 134.
  • the inner surface 138 of the top surface 130 includes an indented profile 140 to accommodate a raised portion 182 defined on the sleeve 180 (described in greater detail below).
  • the lid 105 is hinged to the base 110.
  • the base 110 includes a lower surface 160, which terminates to a base edge 162 and then extends upwardly along a base side wall 164 to create a well 166 therebetween.
  • the base side wall 164 extends to a side wall upper edge 168.
  • the base side wall 164 further includes a gap 170 along the upper edge 168 and along the rear portion 120 to accommodate a flange 172 extending from the lid 105 and which aligns with openings for a pin 174 all to form the hinge pin 115.
  • the lower surface 160 accommodates a spring 176 that is compressed between the lower surface 160 and a platform 178. The spring 176 biases the platform away from the base such that when a sachet 200 is removed, the platform 178 pushes the next sachet upwards.
  • the case 100 includes a sleeve 180 that is removable from the base 110.
  • the substructure 210 includes a top ridge 212 extending radially inwards towards an inner periphery edge 214.
  • a inside surface wall 216 extends from the inner periphery edge 214 downwardly towards a lower ridge 218 that extends radially inward.
  • the lower ridge 218 is adjacent the lower surface 160. This also creates a sub-well 220.
  • the inside surface wall 216 includes a channel 222 extending from the inner periphery edge 214 to the lower ridge 218.
  • the channel 222 is wider near the inner periphery edge 214 and tapers to a narrower opening near the lower ridge 218.
  • the channel 222 further includes a notch 224 adjacent the channel at the lower ridge 218. This allows for the sleeve 180 to slide down and twist to secure in place.
  • the substructure 210 has an outside surface wall 226 that when the substructure 210 is positioned in the base well 166 extends at a height above the upper edge 168 of the base side wall 164. This prevents the upper edge 168 to come into contact with the shoulder lip 136; leaving a gap 228 between the lid and base when in a closed configuration.
  • the sleeve 180 includes a top surface region 184 extending inwardly into a sleeve well 186 with a defined sleeve well side wall 188.
  • the sleeve well 186 is shaped to accommodate the sachets.
  • the top surface region 184 further includes a raised portion 182 that has a curved 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 well side wall 188 includes a side opening 189 under the top surface region 184 to allow for the replacement of sachets.
  • outside of the sleeve well side wall 188 includes a pair of protruding knobs 190 positioned such that each knob slides in the channel 222 and notch 224 of the substructure 210.
  • substructure and the base are a unitary piece molded together to prevent separation or for ease of production.
  • the user twists the sleeve and pulls up to gain access to the side opening 189 to refill the sachets.
  • the sleeve can complete be removed but it is possible to prevent the removal of the substructure.
  • the substructure 210 includes an overhang stop 215 configured to catch a bottom ridge 187 defined at the bottom of the side opening 189 to prevent the removal of the sleeve from the substructure 210 but still allows access to the opening to refill the sachets.
