Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention relates to cosmetic containers and more particularly to a cosmetic powder container including integrally formed cover and shell and having characteristics of saving assembly time and decreasing manufacturing cost, and being reliable in use.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Conventionally, make-up powder is stored in a cosmetic powder container for the purposes of decreasing time of exposing the powder to the atmosphere and portability.
- A conventional
cosmetic powder container 30 is shown inFIG. 8 and includes afirst shell 31 having aknuckle 34 along a side edge, and asecond shell 32 having two spaced knuckle members (not numbered) along a side edge. Theknuckle 34 is received between the knuckle members so that ahinge pin 33 may be inserted into the cylindrical bores of theknuckle 34 and the knuckle members, thereby hingedly attaching the first andsecond shells - However, the conventional
cosmetic powder container 30 suffers disadvantages including excessive number of components, time consuming and labor intensive assembly, relatively high cost of themetal hinge pin 33, and theknuckle 34 being liable to break. - Thus, the need for improvement still exists.
- It is therefore one object of the invention to provide a cosmetic powder container Comprising a cover; a shell; and a hinge formed integrally with both the cover and the shell and connected thereto so that a predetermined angle of rotation between the cover and the shell is allowed; wherein the hinge includes a flexible interconnection having one end formed with a side edge of the shell and the other end formed with a side edge of the cover; and wherein the shell includes a receptacle formed on a top.
- The above and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken with the accompanying drawings.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cosmetic powder container according to a first preferred embodiment of the invention, the container being open; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a cosmetic powder container according to a second preferred embodiment of the invention, the container being open; -
FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view ofFIG. 2 ; -
FIG. 4 is another exploded perspective view ofFIG. 2 ; -
FIG. 5 is a detailed view of the area in circle A ofFIG. 4 ; -
FIG. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view ofFIG. 5 , the container being open; -
FIG. 7 is a view similar toFIG. 6 , the container being closed; and -
FIG. 8 is an exploded view of a conventional cosmetic powder container. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 to 7 , acosmetic powder container 10 in accordance with the invention comprises the following components as discussed in detail below. - A
hexagonal cover 12, ahexagonal shell 14 and ahinge 18 are formed integrally. Thehinge 18 includes aflexible interconnection 181 having one end formed with an intermediate portion on a side edge of theshell 14 and the other end formed with an intermediate portion on a side edge of thecover 12. Theshell 14 includes acircular receptacle 141 formed on a top. Thecover 12 includes ahexagonal opening 121 through a substantial portion thereof, and ahexagonal fitting member 122 fastened in theopening 121. - Preferably, the

hinge 18 further includes two spacedbent members 182 on either end of theinterconnection 181. Thebent member 182 has one end formed integrally with the side edge of theshell 14 and the other end formed integrally with the side edge of thecover 12. - Preferably, the
bent members 182 can increase structural strength of thecontainer 10 so that thecover 12 and theshell 14 can be secured together. Otherwise, twist and/or obliqueness may occur. - The
shell 14 further includes a disc shapedprojection 142 formed on an underside, a plurality ofmounting holes 1421 around the side edges of theshell 14, and a plurality ofelongated cavities 1422 around the circular edge of theprojection 142. Ahexagonal mounting member 20 is releasably secured to the underside of theshell 14 and includes a plurality oftabs 201 on a top and two opposite bossedholes 202 each between twoadjacent tabs 201. Thetabs 201 are inserted into thecavities 1422 and the bossedholes 202 are inserted into themounting holes 1421 for securing themounting member 20 to the underside of theshell 14. - Preferably, a
stem 161 is formed on an inner surface of thecover 12, ahole 162 is formed on a top surface of theshell 14, and thestem 161 is configured to insert into thehole 162 to secure thecover 12 and theshell 14 together when thecontainer 10 is closed. - Preferably, an angle of the
cover 12 with respect to theshell 14 is 120-degree when thecontainer 10 is open. - Preferably, the
fitting member 122 is a lens so that an individual may clearly see what is stored in thereceptacle 141 through thefitting member 122. - Alternatively, the
fitting member 122 is a mirror on an inner surface of thecover 12 so that an individual may see the face of himself/herself at thefitting member 122 after opening thecontainer 10 for make-up. - Preferably, the
cover 12 and theshell 14 are formed integrally with thecover 12 and theshell 14 being of the same color. Alternatively, thecover 12 and theshell 14 are formed integrally with thecover 12 and theshell 14 being of different colors. Both configurations can render an aesthetic appearance. - Alternatively, both the
cover 12 and theshell 14 are of a shape different from the one shown inFIG. 1 orFIG. 2 . - As shown in
FIGS. 4 and 5 specifically, theinterconnection 181 is bent. Thus, thecover 12 may pivot a maximum opening angle about theshell 14 by flexing theinterconnection 181 when opening thecontainer 10, and vice versa. - Preferably, the maximum opening angle is 120-degree.
- Preferably, the
receptacle 141 is configured to store cosmetic powder, face powder, and mascara. - While the invention has been described in terms of preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modifications within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
