Abstract
Disclosed is a compact for containing a loose powder, such as cosmetic finishing powder, including a base, a cover, a sifter, and a platform compressible against the sifter. The platform may comprise an inner portion flexibly coupled to an outer portion via a gasket disposed on at least a portion of a bottom surface of the inner portion. The compact may have an open position and a closed position. In the closed position, the cover may apply a downward force on the inner portion, compressing the gasket against the sifter and creating a seal to isolate the loose powder.
Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 13/951,348, filed Jul. 25, 2013, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- Cosmetic materials such as those used for cosmetic foundation or finishing are typically provided as a compacted or a loose material. Loose materials, including loose powder, are becoming more common in part because loose material provides improved coverage of the material on a surface. The loose material may be provided in a container with a base, cover, and perforated divider or sifter so that the container may be opened and the powder may be shaken out of the perforations and applied to an applicator.
- A typical loose powder container will have a means for opening and closing the cover, such as a threaded screw-type mechanism. Some containers may also include a sealing platform, internal lid, or rotating sifter held in place over the perforated divider. These features prevent loose material from moving up through the perforations during handling and/or jostling of the container, such as the movements associated with carrying the container in a handbag, pocket, or purse.
- Although some users apply cosmetic products in their homes without concern for time, many apply cosmetic products hurriedly, for instance while driving a car, using a public restroom, working in an office, walking, or taking a break. In these uses, interfacing with additional features and locking mechanisms can become burdensome for the user, especially when the vessel contains a fine powder. The multiple internal components and locking mechanism in some loose powder compacts may make it difficult for a user to cleanly and easily access the contained material in a hurried manner. Accordingly, there remains a need for improved cosmetic containers.
- The detailed description is set forth with reference to the accompanying figures. In the figures, the left-most digit(s) of a reference number identifies the figure in which the reference number first appears. The use of the same reference numbers in different figures indicates similar or identical items.

- One implementation of this disclosure is directed towards a compact with a compressible platform and a vessel for containing cosmetic product. The vessel of the compact may be configured to contain a loose powder, such as finishing powder, and provide access to the powder with the actuation of a single closing mechanism to minimize user interactions. For instance, the compact may include a cover pivotably coupled to a base, a sifter disposed within the base, and a compressible platform disposed above the sifter. The compressible platform may include an inner portion flexibly coupled to an outer portion via a gasket that couples to a bottom surface of the inner portion and a bottom surface of the outer portion. In some examples, the gasket may be comprised of silicone, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), and/or any other compressible material. When the cover is moved into a closed position, it may make contact with and vertically displace the inner portion of the compressible platform, compressing the gasket on the bottom surface of the inner portion against the sifter to create a seal.
- In other implementations, a living hinge may be included for flexibly coupling the inner portion to the outer portion. Additionally or alternatively, a liner may be positioned on the bottom surface of the inner portion. In this implementation, when the cover is moved to the closed position, it displaces the inner portion, bending the living hinges, and compressing the liner against the sifter.
- In some implementations, a push button locking mechanism may be situated on an outer surface of the compact to release the cover from the closed position when actuated. The coupling portion of the gasket, being deformed when the inner portion is depressed, may provide an upward force that returns the inner portion to a position substantially level with the outer portion when the locking mechanism is released.
- In some implementations, the platform may include a receptacle for receiving and holding a cosmetic applicator. The receptacle may be defined by a top surface of the inner portion and sidewalls extending upwardly from a perimeter of the inner portion. The cosmetic applicator may comprise a sponge, a brush, or a flocking
- Multiple and varied example implementations and embodiments are described below. However, these examples are merely illustrative and other implementations and embodiments of a loose powder compact with a compressible platform may be implemented without departing from the scope of the disclosure. For instance, the implementations, or portions thereof, may be rearranged, combined, used together, may omit one or more portions, and/or may be otherwise modified to arrive at variations on the disclosed implementations.
- Illustrative Loose Powder Compact with Compressible Platform
- The embodiments shown in the figures are presented by way of example. The components shown in the figures may be combined as desired to create a loose powder compact having various configurations. As noted above, components shown in the figures may be rearranged, combined, modified, duplicated, and/or omitted in some configurations.

FIG. 1 illustrates a loose powder compact 100 in an exploded view. The loose powder compact 100 may include abase 102, acover 104, and aplatform 106. In some embodiments, thecover 104 may pivotably couple to thebase 102 via ahinge arrangement 108 on a rear side of the compact 100. For instance, thehinge arrangement 108 may include aprotrusion 110 that extends away from thecover 104 and fits into agap 112 on thebase 102. - In some examples, the
platform 106 may also be pivotably coupled to thebase 102. Theplatform 106 may include afirst protrusion 114 and asecond protrusion 116 that mate with afirst flange 118 and asecond flange 120 on either side of thegap 112, respectively. The first andsecond protrusions gap 112 is maintained and theprotrusion 110 of thecover 104 may fit in thegap 112, mating to the first andsecond protrusions hinge arrangement 108 may allow both thecover 104 and theplatform 106 to be hingedly coupled to thebase 102 simultaneously, as illustrated inFIG. 2 . Vessels with this configuration may, in some instances, be referred to as a “wet/dry” construction. - In some embodiments, the
cover 104 and/orplatform 106 may be coupled to thebase 102 using various other coupling arrangements. For instance, there may be a single hinge connected to both thecover 104 and theplatform 106, or there may be multiple separate hinges. The coupling arrangement may include a spring-loaded hinge. The coupling arrangement may provide for thecover 104 and/orplatform 106 to be removably coupled to thebase 102, such as a snap-fit. The coupling arrangement may be positioned at the rear side of the compact 100, or on a left side, a right side, a front side, or a combination thereof. The coupling arrangement may have a single degree of freedom, such as the single axis of rotation illustrated above, or it may have multiple degrees of freedom, such as a lifting motion, twisting motion, compressing motion, sliding motion, rotating motion, or combinations thereof. - In some embodiments, the
cover 104 and/or theplatform 106 may be removably coupled to thebase 102 in another manner. For instance, the loose powder compact 100 may have a substantially round form factor, providing a screw-type connection. Thecover 104 and/orplatform 106 may be coupled to the base 102 with a living hinge. Further, theplatform 106 may lack any hinge feature and may couple to the base merely by resting in accordance with a downward gravitational force. - In some non-limiting embodiments, the
base 102,cover 104, and/orplatform 106 may be comprised of plastic, metal, ceramic, glass, carbon-fiber, stone, wood, composites thereof, combinations thereof, or any other type of material sturdy enough to maintain its shape and function during use. Thebase 102,cover 104, and/orplatform 106 may be comprised of the same materials, different materials, or any combination thereof. - In some examples, the
cover 102 may comprise a substantially rectangular form factor, with a planar top 120 and a plurality ofplanar sides 122 extending away from theplanar top 120. Amirror 124 may be disposed on an underside of the planar top 120, the mirror being exposed when thecover 104 is in anopen position 200, as shown inFIG. 2 . Other features may be positioned on the underside of the planar top 120, such as an applicator (e.g. brush) or a cosmetic product (e.g. compact powder). The exterior of thebase 102 and/or cover 104 may provide surfaces on which branding, advertisements, user directions, product information, or other text and/or images may be displayed. - The
cover 104 may include alocking mechanism 126 disposed on one of the plurality ofplanar sides 122 for maintaining thecover 104 in a closed position 400 (shown inFIG. 4 ) and/or releasing thecover 104 into theopen position 200. In some embodiments, thelocking mechanism 126 may include a push-button tab configuration wherein depressing a push-button 128 moves adeflectable tab 130 allowing it to release from a cavity 202 (shown inFIG. 2 ). Various types of locking mechanisms may be used in other embodiments, such as hooks-and-loops, magnetic connectors, sliding locks, spring-loaded buttons, pull tabs, pins-and-hooks, or any other mechanism that maintains thecover 104 in theclosed position 400 and can be actuated by a user to release thecover 104. -
FIGS. 3 and 4 show the compact 100 in theopen position 200 and theclosed position 400, respectively. In some embodiments, outer edges of thecover 104 may align with outer edges of the base 102 when the compact 100 is in theclosed position 400. The base 102 may comprise an inner cavity, orpot 302 defined by a plurality ofwalls 304 extending upward from abottom surface 306 of thebase 102. A cosmetic product (not shown) may be disposed within thepot 302. In some examples, thebase 102 and/or thepot 302 may be comprised of a transparent or translucent material making the cosmetic product within externally viewable. For instance, thebase 102 and/or thepot 302 may comprise clear polymer, ceramic, glass, crystal, or combinations thereof. In some embodiments, thebase 102 may not be rectangular, but rather circular, oval, triangular, or any other shape, regular or irregular, configured to align with thecover 104. Likewise, thecover 104 may be any of the aforementioned shapes, a substantially similar shape as thebase 102, or a substantially different shape than thebase 102. - In some embodiments, a
sifter 402 may be positioned above thepot 302. For example, thesifter 402 may extend to the plurality ofwalls 304, enclosing the cosmetic product in thepot 302. Thesifter 402 may be substantially planar with a perimeter comprised of anelevated lip 404. Theelevated lip 404 may rest on aledge 406 disposed around an inner surface of the plurality ofwalls 304. - As illustrated in
FIG. 5 , thesifter 402 may include a plurality ofperforations 500. In some examples, the plurality ofperforations 500 may be arranged in anarray 502. The plurality ofperforations 500 may extend to the plurality ofside walls 304, or they may span only a portion of thesifter 402. Thesifter 402 may be permanently coupled to thebase 102, in some embodiments, and removably coupled to the base 102 in others so thepot 302 may be refilled once the cosmetic product has been depleted. In other embodiments, thesifter 402 may be a wire mesh, rigid cloth, or any other construction that limits the dispensing rate of the cosmetic product. Thesifter 402 may be comprised of plastic, metal, ceramic, glass, stone, wood, carbon-fiber, composites thereof, combinations thereof, or any other type of rigid material that may be perforated. - Some embodiments of compact 100 may include the
platform 106 disposed between thesifter 402 and thecover 104. As disclosed above, theplatform 106 may be coupled to thebase 102 viahinge arrangement 108. Returning toFIG. 2 , theplatform 106 may comprise aninner portion 204 and anouter portion 206 disposed around theinner portion 204. Theinner portion 204 may be flexibly coupled to theouter portion 206 with agasket 208. In some embodiments, thegasket 208 may be a silicone sheet that couples to an underside of theouter portion 206, projects into a gap 308 (shown inFIG. 3 ) between theinner portion 204 andouter portion 206, and at least partially couples to an underside of theinner portion 204. Agasket bulge 310 may be formed by the projection into thegap 308 of thegasket 208. - In some examples, the
inner portion 204 may be depressible relative to theouter portion 206. For instance, thecover 104 may come in contact with theinner portion 204 when the compact 100 is moved into theclosed position 400, imparting a downward force on theinner portion 204. Thegasket bulge 310 may deform so that theinner portion 204 moves downward relative to theouter portion 206 in a substantially linear path. In some examples, abottom surface 312 of theinner portion 204 may come in contact with thesifter 402 when compressed by thecover 104. Thegasket 208 may be disposed on and coupled to thebottom surface 312 of theinner portion 204 such that it abuts thesifter 402 and creates a seal against the plurality ofperforations 500 of thesifter 402 when theinner portion 204 is depressed by thecover 104. Consequently, the cosmetic product disposed in thebase 102 may be isolated when the compact 100 is in theclosed position 400. - The
cover 104 may be held in theclosed position 400 by thelocking mechanism 126, as described above. When thelocking mechanism 126 is actuated, thecover 104 may be moved into theopen position 200, removing the downward force thecover 104 may have imparted on theinner portion 204. In the absence of the downward force, the deformation of thegasket bulge 310 may provide an upward force, returning theinner portion 204 to a raised position and releasing the seal theinner portion 204 had formed against thesifter 402. - In some embodiments, the
hinge arrangement 108, or thelocking mechanism 126, or both may be spring-loaded. This stored potential energy, in theclosed position 400, may be released upon actuation of thelocking mechanism 126, causing the cover to spring or “pop” open. - In some examples, opening the compact 100 and separating the seal of the
inner portion 204 against thesifter 402 with a single actuation of asingle locking mechanism 126, with or without spring-loaded assistance, may make the compact 100 easier to use quickly and cleanly than previous designs. - In some embodiments, the
gasket 208 may comprise a silicone sheet, as disclosed above. However, thegasket 208 may comprise any type of material with flexibility and compression such as thermoplastics, semi-solid gels, foams, and/or rubber. Alternatively, a living hinge (not shown) may be used to flexibly couple theinner portion 204 to theouter portion 206. In such examples, a liner (not shown) may be coupled to thebottom surface 312 of theinner portion 204 to compress against and seal thesifter 402 when the compact 100 is in theclosed position 400. Although thegasket 208 is illustrated inFIG. 6 as coupling the entire perimeter of theinner portion 204 to theouter portion 206, thegasket 208 or living hinge may flexibly couple only a section of theinner portion 204 to theouter portion 206. - In some embodiments, the
cover 104 may be movable in a direction substantially parallel to thebase 102. For instance, thebase 102 may have a sliding channel disposed on an outer surface configured to mate with a tab protruding from thecover 104 to guide a sliding motion. In this instance, thecover 104 may compress theinner portion 204 against thesifter 402 when in theclosed position 400, and may be slid away from the base 102 to release theinner portion 204 from thesifter 402. - As illustrated in
FIGS. 6 and 7 , some embodiments of theplatform 106 may include anapplicator 600 received by areceptacle 700. Thereceptacle 700 may be a space defined on a top surface of theinner portion 204 bysidewalls 702 extending substantially upward from a perimeter of theinner portion 204. Theapplicator 600 may be a sponge, as illustrated inFIGS. 6 and 7 , a brush, or a flocking (not shown). Additional features may be disposed in thereceptacle 700 for holding theapplicator 600 in place, such as a snap retention fitting (not shown). - In another embodiment, the
receptacle 700 may be configured to receive a cosmetic product different from the cosmetic product contained in thebase 102. For instance, the receptacle could receive a compact powder, cream, wax, liquid, and/or gel. - Although the loose powder compact has been described in language specific to structural features and/or methodological acts, it is to be understood that the disclosure is not necessarily limited to the specific features or acts described. Rather, the specific features and acts are disclosed as illustrative forms of implementing the loose powder compact.
