(30) The case body 100 has the shape of a general disc, and the outer peripheral surface of the handle part 210 fills the open portion of the side peripheral wall 150 of the case body 100, while being smoothly connected to the disc-shaped side peripheral wall 150.

(31) FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the cover 300 of the slide type cosmetic compact case of FIG. 2.

(32) The cover 300 includes a cover plate 310 facing the upper plate 110 of the case body 100, a side peripheral surface 330, the hinge coupling part 331, and a locking part 333.

(33) The hinge coupling part 331 protrudes downwardly from one side end of the side peripheral surface 330 and is thus coupled to the case body 100.

(34) The locking part 333 protrudes downwardly from the other side end of the side peripheral surface 330 opposite to the hinge coupling part 331 and covers the outer peripheral surface of the brush unit 200 inserted into the slide storage part 105 from outer side thereof.

(35) The handle part 210 has a coupling groove 211 formed concavely on the outer peripheral surface thereof toward the slide storage part 105 at a position corresponding to the guide groove 111 of the case body 100.

(36) The locking part 333 of the cover 300 is inserted through the guide groove 111 of the case body 100 into the coupling groove 211 of the handle part 210 from top thereof.

(37) When viewed from the outside, the coupling groove 211 of the handle part 210 includes a bottom surface located toward the slide storage part 105 and a locking slot formed on the bottom surface.

(38) The locking part 333 of the cover 300 has a protrusion 3331 locked onto the locking slot of the handle part 210.
