Definitions

  • the invention relates to an improved cosmetic container which provides for holding, storage and use of various kinds of cosmetic products such as pressed powders, gloss, etc.
  • Cosmetic pans or inserts are typically filled with a product by a machine, and then glued into a cosmetic case. Alternatively, the cosmetic product can be placed directly into the cosmetic case (without the use of a pan).
  • the cosmetic case usually has a bottom and a lid, and often time comprises a mirror.
  • Cosmetic powder make-up such as, for example, blush, is often provided to consumers in a 'pressed powder' form. Pressed powder is loose powder that has been compacted under pressure into a cake-like block. Powder cake cosmetics are packed by using a powder press to press the color powders into metal or plastic pans. Pressed powder cosmetics are generally provided in a shallow metal or plastic pan.
  • a cosmetic material mixed with a binder and dissolved in a solvent (or slurry) is poured into a metal or plastic pan, or directly into a recess in the cosmetic case and then dried by vaporizing the solvent to solidify the cosmetic material.
  • Back injection molding processes are known in the cosmetic art.
  • a cosmetic slurry or other flowable base is injected through a hole in the back, or bottom (which may be oriented upwards), of a plastic (or other type) pan structure to form a finished cosmetic product.
  • a cosmetic base can be metered into a pan through its open top.
  • the cosmetic is formulated which that the resulting powder product releases cosmetic with relative ease when a user wipes a surface of the cake.
  • a powder product formulated to release cosmetic readily may be relatively fragile and may crumble with relative ease if not properly supported.
  • Other varieties of cosmetic products such as lip colors, lip gloss, cream, mousse, or cake type products are also produced and available in similar form (shallow pans, recesses, and/or inserts). Either the pans are individually installed into cosmetic cases, or, several pans of pressed powders in different colors are selected and then manually installed into a cosmetic compact or casing.
  • Cosmetic materials available to the consumers in the market place are very numerous. The particular cosmetic assortment which an individual consumer purchases is entirely dependent upon that consumer's subjective preferences. A typical consumer of cosmetics normally desires an assortment of cosmetics which includes the desired colors, tints and hues to satisfy the consumer's preferences.
  • a typical packaging of cosmetics supplies traditionally comprises pre-selected, fixed containers of cosmetic materials. They can be found with a single product or having a variety of both colors and types.
  • refillable cosmetic cases are either manufactured of magnetic material or have a magnet attached to the bottom of the pan.
  • refill cosmetic cases typically only accept refill pans or inserts of the same brand.
  • the refill pan is typically of a shape, size, and/or geometry that can 'fit' or 'mate' into the case.
  • the individual cosmetic inserts can be offered to the consumer independent of the compact case into which they will be positioned. Consumers will be able to choose only those preferred cosmetics which are desirable for purchase and assemble them in a compact case, holder, display, or other means, so as to establish a personal and unique arrangement of cosmetics.
  • Airtight refill containers have been disclosed in US 7314051, US 5950639, JP 2000128203.
  • the disclosed containers provide for airtight housing of cosmetic material by various mechanical means.
  • JP 2000128203 also provides for improved productivity by improving filling properties of the cosmetic material and improves usability of the cosmetic case.
  • JP 2006263188 provides a sliding compact container capable of rendering the cosmetic housing airtight in closed state.
  • US 6978791 provides cosmetic compact cases which are convenient to open and close by providing a soft and elastic front structure connected to its latching device.
  • US 6526990 provides netted refill containers which prevent the cosmetic material from accumulating on one side by forming the space between top surface of the cosmetic material and the netting as small as possible.
  • the netted refill containers also prevent the quality of the cosmetic material from changing.
  • US 20070187284 disclose refill containers that hold and protect an internal tray filled with the cosmetic material.
  • the said container comprises a mounting portion and an engaging portion. In a mounted state, the engaging portion catches the internal tray in a manner as to prevent the internal tray from being disengaged from the mounting portion.
  • the cosmetic case provides the cosmetic and cosmetic pan protection against damage, etc.
  • the cosmetic pan independent of its case i.e. without the case is not adequately protected.
  • Typical cosmetic pans are constructed of thin metal or plastic, which, without the protection of its case, can easily be deformed, shocked, and/or impacted, causing damage and/or breakage to the cosmetic product.
  • the container and refill pans are designed together i.e. the case is usually designed to accept and/or mate with refill pans with a specific geometry and size to ensure a perfect fit.
  • the case is usually designed to accept and/or mate with refill pans with a specific geometry and size to ensure a perfect fit.
  • refill pans are not used with their refill cases i.e. a case, compact, holder and/or display that was not designed specifically for accepting that geometry and/or shaped refill pan, the pan often times is not adequately protected. Refill pans used independent of their intended cases can suffer damage.
  • Excess space surrounding the pan can result in damage to the cosmetic product and/or cosmetic refill pan upon movement and/or shock because the refill pan can hit the side of the case, and/or another pan, and/or the dividers/separators/inserts that may be inside the case.
  • Refill pans of different geometries placed adjacent to each other can cause uneven pressures to the refill pans upon movement and/or shock potentially resulting in damage to the cosmetic product and/or cosmetic refill pan. Damage of refill pans can cause wastage of the cosmetic material.
  • the refill pans generally do not have a logo or a brand displayed on them which indicates the source of origin of the cosmetic products. This is generally because refill pans were intended and/or designed to be used with the case specifically designed and made available by that manufacturer/brand. The logo or brand which indicates the source of origin of the cosmetic products is traditionally on the case.

  • the present invention also relates to a protective continuous frame for housing at least one cosmetic container.
  • the said frame is continuous and runs through the periphery of the container and comprises an open top portion for housing the container.
