Description

Compact with lighting means {A COMPACT HAVING A LIGHTING MEANS}

The present invention relates to a compact used as a make-up tool, and more particularly, to a compact having lighting means to use the compact while reflecting its face to a mirror even in an environment in which sunlight or lighting is not sufficiently secured. .

In general, the compact is compactly manufactured so that cosmetics, drugs, etc. are put in a powder form or in a solid state sintered cream mixed with powder, so as to be portable and easy to use.

When the compact is applied to make-up, the powder is applied to the puff contained in the container, and the face or skin is knocked on to make-up.

1 shows an example of a general compact.

As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional compact includes a container 1 having a concave storage portion formed to store a solid 2, a puff 3 placed on the solid 2 so as to be pounded on the face by a powdered powder; It consists of a lid 4 which is openably coupled to the upper surface of the container 1 to protect the solid 2 and the puff 3. In particular, a small mirror 5 is attached to the inner surface of the cover 4 so that the compact can be used while illuminating his or her face outdoors or on the move. That is, when the cover 4 is opened to use the compact, the inner surface and face of the cover 4 when the cover 1 is opened about 120 degrees and the container 1 containing the solids 2 is leveled. The faces are able to face each other so that they can see their faces through the mirror (4) attached to the inner surface.

The attachment of the mirror 4 is recognized as an important means of improving the function of the compact, which can be conveniently used anytime and anywhere, and most compacts employ such a mirror.

By the way, the conventional compact equipped with a mirror can be used in places where there is sunlight or lighting without difficulty, but in the place where sunlight does not come in or at night where the illumination light is dark, the function of the mirror is not used to reduce the functionality of the compact. There was a downside.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a compact having a lighting means so as to illuminate one's face through a compact mirror even in an environment without sunlight or illumination light.

The present invention for realizing the above object is a compact container or a lid for storing a solid, a puff placed on the solid, a lid coupled to the top of the container so as to be openable and a mirror on the inner side of the lid, A battery is provided at one end, and a plurality of lighting means are provided on the inner surface of the cover corresponding to the outer circumference of the mirror, the lighting means and the battery are electrically connected, and the switching means is provided to selectively light the lighting means. It is characterized by.

The above objects and various advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the preferred embodiments of the invention described below with reference to the accompanying drawings by those skilled in the art.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail an embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 2 is a perspective view showing a compact having a lighting means according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA 'of Figure 2 according to the present invention, Figure 4 is a BB of Figure 2 according to the present invention It is a line cross section.

As shown in FIG. 2, the compact according to the present invention includes a container 1 having a concave storage portion for storing the solids 2, and a puff 3 placed on the solids 2 so as to be pounded on the face with powdered powder. And a lid 4 which is openably coupled to the upper surface of the container 1 to protect the solid 2 and the puff 3. On the other hand, a small mirror 5 is attached to the inner surface of the cover 4 so that the compact can be used while illuminating his or her face outdoors or on the move.

In particular, according to the characteristic elements of the present invention, a plurality of lighting means 11 is provided on the inner surface of the cover 4, so that even in the absence of sunlight or illumination light can see the face through the compact mirror (5) It is configured to.

To this end, the battery 10 is provided at one end of the compact container 1 or the cover 4, a plurality of lighting means 11 is provided on the inner side of the cover 4 corresponding to the outer periphery of the mirror 5 The lighting means 11 and the battery 10 are electrically connected to each other, and the switching means 13 are separately provided to selectively turn on the lighting means 11.

2 and 3, the battery 10 preferably uses a small lithium or mercury battery 10 in consideration of compact portability, and includes a storage unit for accommodating the battery 10. 10a) is formed in the margin space of the container 1 for storing the solids 2.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 4, the luminaire 11 is not only low power consumption, but also uses an excellent LED and light emission characteristics under low voltage, the mounting portion 11a for mounting the luminaire 11 is a mirror A plurality is formed on the inner side of the lid 4 along the outer periphery of (5). The mounting portion 11a may vary in number and position of formation depending on the shape and size of the mirror 5. For example, in the case of a compact employing a circular mirror 5, although not shown in the drawing, mounting portions for mounting the luminaire 11 at regular intervals along the circumference of the mirror 5 may be formed. It can be easily inferred.

In the exemplary drawing, in order to electrically connect the battery 10 installed in the container 1 and the luminaire 11 installed in the cover 4, it is considered that the cover 4 is hinged at the hinge portion 6. It is preferable to use a flexible printed circuit board 12 or the like. Even if the flexible printed circuit board 12 is repeatedly bent at the hinge portion 6, the flexible printed circuit board 12 may maintain a good electrical connection state.

On the other hand, if the battery 10 can be further miniaturized, the storage unit 10a for accommodating the battery 10 is installed in the margin space of the cover 4 without necessarily forming one end of the container 1. It is also possible. This does not have to go through the hinge portion for the electrical connection between the battery 10 and the lighting means 11, the electrical connection structure is much simpler and can improve the durability.

The switching means 13 is installed to cut off the power supplied to the luminaire 11 so that the luminaire 11 can be operated only when lighting is required, and the installation position thereof is considered to be a user's convenience. It is preferable to place it on the upper surface of the () or the inner surface of the lid (4).

In addition, it is possible to enable the luminaire 11 to be automatically activated according to the ambient conditions. 5 is a block diagram of a compact having a lighting means 11 equipped with an illuminance sensor according to the present invention, the knob switch 21 electrically connected when the cover 4 of the compact is opened, and the brightness of the surroundings. The illuminating sensor 23 capable of detecting and the switching transistor 23 is operated when the level value is higher than or equal to the level value set according to the level detected by the illuminance sensor 23. The control unit 20 which does not operate is additionally provided. The switching transistor 23 activates the luminaire 24. Such illuminance sensor 22 is preferably installed at one end of the inner surface of the cover 4 on which the mirror 5 is mounted.

In the above description, it should be understood that those skilled in the art can make modifications and changes to the present invention without changing the gist of the present invention as merely illustrative of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, even in an environment in which sunlight or lighting is not sufficiently secured, the compact can be used while illuminating his / her face on a mirror, thereby improving the functionality of the compact.
