Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a compact, and more particularly, to a compact in which an ice pack loading chamber is provided in addition to the puff storage chamber.

Conventionally, compacts have been provided in various formats. However, these compacts have conventionally been studied solely from a design perspective, taking into consideration the aesthetic appearance of the container, the storage space for puffs and cosmetics, the arrangement of mirrors, and ease of handling during use.

The present invention is completely different from such a conventional compact design concept, and has been made with the intention of providing a compact that can keep the puffs stored therein in a cooled state.

In hot seasons such as summer, especially when going out, makeup often comes off due to the temperature and sweating.

For women, makeup smearing is a problem not only for their appearance but also for their psychological well-being.

Conventionally, cosmetics that are relatively resistant to fading have been commercially available, but they are not sufficient. For consumers, there were no suitable ways to deal with makeup smearing, such as going into a temporarily air-conditioned room and lowering the body temperature of the skin surface, or applying cold towels to the skin surface.

However, cold towels are inconvenient to carry around all the time, and phenomena such as makeup being transferred to the towels and makeup peeling off in some areas have been observed.

In light of the current situation, the present invention provides a compact device that allows the user to carry constantly cooled puffs. That is, the present invention is a compact device characterized in that a puff storage chamber and a cold pack loading chamber are provided in separate rooms, and the cold pack loading chamber is loaded with a cold pack.

The puffs stored in the puff storage chamber are always maintained in a sufficiently cooled state by the ice pack loaded in the cold pack loading chamber.

Further, in the compact of the present invention, it is essential that the puff storage chamber and the cold pack loading chamber are separated into separate rooms. By providing separate compartments, it is possible to prevent the aromatic odor of the cosmetics attached to the puffs from transferring to the ice pack or the cold pack loading chamber. Therefore, as will be described later, even when the ice pack enclosing bag is taken out of the compact and cooled in a general household refrigerator, there is no problem such as the aromatic odor of the cosmetics in the compact being transferred to food etc. in the refrigerator.

Further, the ice pack is not particularly limited as long as it can keep the puffs stored in the puff storage chamber in a cooled state for several hours or more when the compact is left at room temperature after being cooled in advance. The length of time that a puff can be kept in a cool state depends on the type and amount of ice pack, the temperature at which the ice pack is pre-cooled, as well as the structure of the compact, the space capacity of the puff storage chamber, the material of the puff, etc. Usually, substances conventionally known to have a cold preservation function, such as ethylene glycol,
Propylene glycol, calcium chloride, and others may be used without particular limitation.

As a mode of loading the ice pack into the cold pack loading chamber, the cold pack loading chamber is configured to be openable and closable, and for example, a bag made of synthetic resin or the like with the cold pack sealed in advance may be loaded into the loading chamber with the bag. It is desirable to have a mode in which it can be taken out freely. In such a case, before going out, take out only the bag containing the ice pack from the compact, cool it in a general household refrigerator, for example, and then place it in the ice pack loading chamber of the compact before going out. You can set it up and carry it with you. By doing this, there is no need to cool the compact itself in the refrigerator, and there is no problem such as the aromatic odor of the cosmetics inside the compact being transferred to the food etc. in the refrigerator. However, if there is no concern about such adverse effects, configure the cold pack loading chamber as a sealed chamber with an injection port with a lid, inject the cold pack through the injection port, and place the entire compact in a refrigerator etc. It is also possible to adopt a mode in which the water is cooled.

Further, in order to improve the cooling effect of the puffs, it is generally preferable that the ice pack loading chamber be provided adjacent to the puff storage chamber. However, depending on the case, it is possible to appropriately adopt a mode in which, for example, a cosmetic storage chamber is provided between the ice pack loading chamber and the puff storage chamber.

By using the compact of the present invention as described above, the puff is kept sufficiently cooled at all times, and by pressing the skin surface covered with makeup with this cooled puff, the body temperature of the skin surface is lowered and the makeup is prevented from fading. Ru. Furthermore, even if your make-up comes off, you can easily reapply your make-up using this puff.
