Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a cosmetics container, and
more particularly a cosmetics container, which has a transparent
holding member having a lower side formed with three-dimensional
designs having convexities and concavities to mould cosmetics into
particular shape when the cosmetics are contained therein.
[0003] 2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
[0004] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, a conventional cosmetics
container includes a containing member 10, and a cover 20. The
transparent containing member 1 has a holding room 102 for
containing cosmetics therein. The cover 20 is pivoted to one edge
of the containing member 1 at one edge thereof. The cover 20 has an
engaging hook 201 formed on the opposite edge, while the containing
member 10 has an engaging protrusion 101 formed on the opposite
edge thereof so that when the cover 20 is closely together with the
containing member 10 to close the holding room 102, the cover 20
can be fixedly positioned on the holding room 102 with the hook 201
being engaged with the protrusion 101 of the containing member
10.
[0005] Cosmetics contained in the holding room 102 are presented
with designs on the upper surface. The designs are usually
three-dimensional, having convexities and concavities, to be more
attractive, and can be bicolor, and formed with trademarks.
However, the designs are prone to wear and disappear after the
cosmetics are used for a short time because they are formed on the
upper surface of the cosmetics. In addition, such designs cannot be
on the upper surfaces of liquid cosmetics such as paste-form
cosmetics, finger nail oils, and skin creams. The manufacturers
have to make designs on the covers or outer sides of the containing
members instead. Therefore, such containers have relatively limited
function.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] It is a main object of the present invention to provide a
cosmetics container, which has a transparent holding member having
a lower side formed with three-dimensional designs to mould
cosmetics into particular shape when the cosmetics are contained
therein; thus, the container together with cosmetics can be used as
ornaments, and the three-dimensional bottom side of the cosmetics
contacting the designs will not be damaged unless the cosmetics are
near to running out.
[0007] The cosmetics container of the present invention includes a
transparent containing member, and a cover. The transparent
containing member has a lower section and a surrounding section to
define a holding room usable for containing cosmetics therein. The
lower section of the containing member is formed with designs
having accordingly formed convexities and concavities on an upper
surface thereof so that cosmetics can be mounded into a
three-dimensional shape on a lower side by means of the designs
having uneven surfaces when the cosmetics are contained in the
holding room.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0008] The present invention will be better understood by reference
to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
[0009] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the cosmetics container
according to the present invention.
[0010] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the cosmetics container
of the present invention.
[0011] FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the cosmetics
container of the second embodiment of the present invention.
[0012] FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the cosmetics container of
the third embodiment of the present invention.
[0013] FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the conventional cosmetics
container as described in the Background.
[0014] FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the conventional
cosmetics container.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0015] Referring to FIG. 1, a cosmetics container of the present
invention includes a transparent containing member 1, and a
transparent cover 2.
[0016] The transparent containing member 1 has a holding room 12,
which is defined by a lower section and a surrounding section of
the containing member 1 for containing cosmetics therein. The
containing member 1 has an opening on top of the holding room
12.
[0017] Furthermore, the lower section of the containing member 1
has designs, which have convexities and concavities on an upper
surface thereof. Thus, when cosmetics are contained in the holding
room 1, the cosmetics can be mounded into a three-dimensional shape
on a lower side thereof. A wide variety of cosmetics can be
contained in the present container to be mould into particular
shape with the designs of the containing member 1, for example lip
cosmetics, powders, foundations, paste-form cosmetics, and skin
creams.
[0018] Referring to FIG. 4, the containing member 1 of the
cosmetics container further has compartmentalizing walls 14 on
borders between adjacent ones of the convexities and concavities of
the designs so that the holding room 12 is divided into several
compartments for containing cosmetics of different colors
therein.
[0019] The transparent cover 2 is pivoted to one edge of the
containing member 1 at one edge thereof. The cover 2 has an
engaging hook 21 formed on the opposite edge, while the containing
member 1 has an engaging protrusion 11 formed on the opposite edge
thereof so that when the cover 2 is pivoted to be closely together
with the containing member 1 to close the holding room 12, the
cover 2 can be fixedly positioned on the holding room 12 with the
hook 21 being engaged with the protrusion 11 of the containing
member 1.
[0020] Referring to FIG. 3, the cosmetics container can also be
made to consist of a transparent holding member 1, and a
transparent cover 2, which are separable from each other. The
present holding member 1 has a holding room 12, and
three-dimensional designs like that in the last embodiment. The
holding member 1, and the transparent cover 2 have threaded
portions 13, 22 respectively so that the cover 2 can be connected
to the containing member 1 to close the holding room 12 with the
threaded portion 22 thereof being screwed onto the threaded portion
13 of the containing member 1.
[0021] In using cosmetics contained in the containing member 1, the
appearance of the three-dimensional side of the cosmetics
contacting the designs will not be damaged unless a big proportion
of the cosmetics have been used because the three-dimensional side
is on the bottom of the cosmetics.
[0022] From the above description, it can be easily understood that
the cosmetics container of the present invention has advantages as
followings:
[0023] 1. Besides the original function, i.e. containing cosmetics,
the cosmetics container is relatively attractive due to the
three-dimensional designs formed in the transparent holding body,
and moulds cosmetics into particular shape with the designs in
order to increase attractiveness of the same. Therefore, the
container together with cosmetics is ornamental.
[0024] 2. When the containing member is provided with
compartmentalizing walls, and compartments, several cosmetics of
different colors can be contained in the container to provide users
with convenience, and the whole product is even more
attractive.
