Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic container suitable for containing cosmetics such as foundations and eye shadows, and is added by dropping the structure without complicated and difficult to use structure of the cosmetic container. By effectively absorbing and mitigating inadvertent impacts, the cosmetics are surely avoided from cracking and crushing.

  Cosmetic containers typified by compact are such that the container body and the lid are connected via a pivot so that they can be opened and closed. The hook provided on the lid is linked to the hook on the container body, so that the container body can be secured. And the push piece exposed from the side wall of the container body is pushed in to release the linkage between the hooks so that the lid can be opened. By replacing the entire plate, the container is reused to effectively use the resources.

  By the way, in the case of this type of cosmetic container, if the cosmetic loaded in the inner plate is made of a solid material, the cosmetic container is made by impact force when the cosmetic container is accidentally dropped. In order to eliminate such problems, it has been proposed to protect the cosmetics from impacts from the outside by floatingly supporting the dish frame when the container is not in use. However, the conventional cosmetic container cannot avoid the efficient manufacture of the container because the structure of the conventional cosmetic container is inevitable, and it cannot be said that it is easy to use. There was still some room for improvement.
