SLIDING COLOR COSMETIC CASE

Abstract

Proposed is a sliding color cosmetic case comprising a lower sliding member, a color cosmetic case, an inclined protrusion member, and a sliding cover member. According to the present invention, when the lower sliding member of the color cosmetic case slides to one side, a mirror cover in which an application tip is embedded stands tilted so as to allow a user to easily see a mirror and easily take out the application tip.

[0025] Now, an explanation of a sliding color cosmetic case according to the present invention will be in detail given with reference to the attached drawing. If it is determined that the detailed explanation on the well known technology related to the present invention makes the scope of the present invention not clear, the explanation will be avoided for the brevity of the description.

[0026] FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a sliding color cosmetic case according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the sliding color cosmetic case according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state where the sliding color cosmetic case according to the present invention is used.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a sliding color cosmetic case according to the present invention includes: a lower sliding member 10 which is a rectangular box-shaped member whose top is open and bottom is closed and having left, right, and one side walls 11, 12, and 13 and a sliding side wall 14 located on the other side facing one side wall 13 in such a manner as to be higher than the left, right, and one side walls 11, 12, and 13; a color cosmetic case 20 which is a rectangular member located at the insides of the left, right, and one side walls 11, 12 and 13 of the lower sliding member 10 and having spaces 22 partitioned on top thereof to accommodate color cosmetic trays 21 therein and hinge coupling portions 23 formed on the sides toward the sliding side wall 14; an inclined protrusion member 30 which is a rectangular member located around the sliding side wall 14 of the lower sliding member 10 in such a manner as to be slantly coupled to the color cosmetic case 20 through a hinge shaft 31 and a spring 32 fitted to the hinge coupling portions 23 of the color cosmetic case 20 and having a mirror 33 attached to top thereof and an application tip storing slit 35 formed on the side surface facing the hinge coupling portions 23 to accommodate an application tip 34 therein; and a sliding cover member 40 which is a rectangular box-shaped member adapted to slidingly cover the lower sliding member 10, the color cosmetic case 20 located in the lower sliding member 10, and the inclined protrusion member 30 in such a manner as to allow a front surface as a sliding insertion surface 41 fitted to one side wall 13 of the lower sliding member 10 to be open and to allow left, right, top, underside, and rear surfaces 42, 43, 44, 45, and 46 to be closed.

[0028] The sliding cover member 40 has first and second holes 47 and 48 punched in the top surface 44 thereof and a transparent window 49 attached to the second hole 48.

[0029] The application tip storing slit 35 has protrusions 35a formed from the inner side surfaces thereof to prevent the application tip 34 from escaping therefrom when the inclined protrusion member 30 is slant. Further, notches 35b cut in a horizontal direction on the intermediate portions of the protrusions 35 so that the application tip 34 can be easily taken out from the application tip storing slit 35 and then conveniently used.

[0030] Next, an explanation of operations and effectiveness of the sliding color cosmetic case according to the present invention will be given.

[0031] Referring first to the coupling process of the sliding color cosmetic case, the color cosmetic case 20 and the inclined protrusion member 30 coupled to the color cosmetic case 20 through the hinge shaft 31 and the spring 32 are located in the lower sliding member 10. Next, the sliding insertion surface 41 as the front surface of the sliding cover member 40 is slidingly fitted to the side wall 13 of the lower sliding member 10.

[0032] After the sliding fitting, the color cosmetic case 20 and the inclined protrusion member 30 are displayed through the first and second holes 47 and 48 (See FIG. 2).

[0033] If the sliding side wall 14 of the lower sliding member 10 is drawn to the outside to use the color cosmetics, the inclined protrusion member 30 is drawn to slantly protrude from the color cosmetic case 20 by means of the spring 32. That is, the inclined protrusion member 30 gets inclined to allow the mirror 33 to be seen well by a user (See FIG. 3).

[0034] As the inclined protrusion member 30 slantly protrudes, the application tip 34 can be easily taken out from the application tip storing slit 35. Through the notches 35b, that is, the application tip 34 can be easily taken out from the application tip storing slit 35.

[0035] When the inclined protrusion member 30 slantly protrudes, simultaneously, the color cosmetic case 20 is drawn to the outside and thus displayed on the first hole 47 where the transparent window 48 does not exist.

[0036] As the transparent window is not provided on the first hole 47, that is, the color cosmetics in the color cosmetic trays 21 can be exposed to the outside so that they can be applied.

[0037] After the use of the color cosmetics, the application tip 34 is put into the application tip storing slit 35, and the lower sliding member 10 is pushed and inserted into the sliding cover member 40. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2, the mirror 33 of the inclined protrusion member 30 is displayed on the first hole 47, and the trays 21 of the color cosmetic case 20 are displayed through the transparent window 49 placed on the second hole 48. In this state, the mirror 33 can be always seen.

[0038] While the present invention has been described with reference to the particular illustrative embodiments, it is not to be restricted by the embodiments but only by the appended claims. It is to be appreciated that those skilled in the art can change or modify the embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
