Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a cosmetics container
having an outstanding appearance, and more particularly to a
cosmetics container, wherein the reflective face of the top cover
co-operates with the colored plate to produce a colorful optical
reflective effect, and the refractive face of the top cover
produces a refractive effect, thereby enhancing the aesthetic
quality of the cosmetics container.
[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0004] A conventional cosmetics container in accordance with the
prior art shown in FIGS. 13-15 comprises a main body 10, and a top
cover 20 mounted on the main body 10. The main body 10 has a top
formed with an annular lip 12. The lip 12 of the main body 10 has
an inner wall formed with a chamber 11 and an outer wall formed
with an outer thread 121. The top cover 20 has an inside formed
with a mounting recess 21 to receive the lip 12 of the main body
10. The mounting recess 21 of the top cover 20 has a wall formed
with an inner thread 211 screwed on the outer thread 121 of the lip
12 of the main body 10.
[0005] However, the consumer cannot directly see cosmetics
contained in the chamber 11 of the main body 10, thereby largely
decreasing attraction to the consumer. In addition, the main body
10 and the top cover 20 of the conventional cosmetics container
lacks variation of colors or patterns, thereby decreasing the
aesthetic quality of the conventional cosmetics container.

a cosmetics container, wherein the reflective face of the top cover
co-operates with the colored plate to produce a colorful optical
reflective effect, and the refractive face of the top cover
produces a refractive effect, thereby enhancing the aesthetic
quality of the cosmetics container so that the cosmetics container
has an outstanding appearance.
[0007] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a
cosmetics container, wherein the colored plate can be removed and
replaced, thereby enhancing variation of the aesthetic quality of
the cosmetics container.
[0008] In accordance with the present invention, there is provided
a cosmetics container, comprising:
[0009] a main body; and
[0010] a top cover mounted on the main body and having a bottom
wall provided with a reflective face directed toward the main body
to produce an optical reflective effect.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0027] Referring to the drawings and initially to FIGS. 1-6, a
cosmetics container in accordance with the preferred embodiment of
the present invention comprises a main body 30, a top cover 40, and
a colored plate 50.
[0028] The main body 30 is made of transparent or translucent
material. The main body 30 has an inside formed with a receiving
space 31 containing cosmetics 33 (see FIG. 5) therein. The main
body 30 has top face provided with a stepped annular protruding
flange 32 extending upward therefrom. The protruding flange 32 of
the main body 30 has an outer periphery provided with a plurality
of equally spaced inverted L-shaped snapping plates 321.
[0029] The top cover 40 is made of transparent or translucent
material. The top cover 40 is mounted on the main body 30 and has a
bottom face formed with a circular mounting recess 41 to receive
the protruding flange 32 of the main body 30. The mounting recess
41 of the top cover 40 has an inner periphery provided with a
plurality of equally spaced rectangular locking blocks 411 each
snapped into a respective one of the snapping plates 321 of the
protruding flange 32 of the main body 30. The mounting recess 41 of
the top cover 40 has a bottom wall provided with an annular
reflective face 412. The reflective face 412 of the mounting recess
41 of the top cover 40 has a periphery provided with a stepped edge
413 rested on the protruding flange 32 of the main body 30. The top
cover 40 has a top face provided with a multi-angled refractive
face 42.
[0030] The colored plate 50 is bonded on a surface of the stepped
edge 413 of the mounting recess 41 of the top cover 40 and is
located under the reflective face 412 of the top cover 40. The
colored plate 50 is a circular plate having a single color,
multiple colors or laser patterns.
[0031] In assembly, the top cover 40 is mounted on the main body 30
and the protruding flange 32 of the main body 30 is mounted in the
mounting recess 41 of the top cover 40. Then, the top cover 40 is
rotated relative to the main body 30, so that each of the locking
blocks 411 of the top cover 40 is rotated and snapped into a
respective one of the snapping plates 321 of the protruding flange
32 of the main body 30 as shown in FIG. 6, thereby locking the top
cover 40 on the main body 30.
[0032] In practice, the reflective face 412 of the top cover 40
co-operates with the colored plate 50 to produce a colorful optical
reflective effect, and the refractive face 42 of the top cover 40
produces a refractive effect, thereby enhancing the aesthetic
quality of the cosmetics container so that the cosmetics container
has an outstanding appearance. In addition, the colored plate 50
can be removed and replaced, thereby enhancing variation of the
aesthetic quality of the cosmetics container.
[0033] Referring to FIGS. 7-12, a cosmetics container in accordance
with another embodiment of the present invention comprises a main
body 30, a top cover 60, and a colored plate 70.
[0034] The main body 30 is made of transparent or translucent
material. The main body 30 has an inside formed with a receiving
space 31 containing cosmetics 33 (see FIG. 11) therein. The main
body 30 has top face provided with a stepped annular protruding
flange 32 extending upward therefrom. The protruding flange 32 of
the main body 30 has an outer periphery provided with a plurality
of equally spaced inverted L-shaped snapping plates 321.
[0035] The top cover 60 is made of transparent or translucent
material. The top cover 60 is mounted on the main body 30 and has a
bottom face formed with a circular mounting recess 61 to receive
the protruding flange 32 of the main body 30. The mounting recess
61 of the top cover 60 has an inner periphery provided with a
plurality of equally spaced rectangular locking blocks 611 each
snapped into a respective one of the snapping plates 321 of the
protruding flange 32 of the main body 30. The mounting recess 61 of
the top cover 60 has a bottom wall provided with an annular
reflective face 612. The reflective face 612 of the mounting recess
61 of the top cover 60 has a periphery provided with a stepped edge
613 rested on the protruding flange 32 of the main body 30. The
reflective face 612 of the mounting recess 61 of the top cover 60
has an inner side provided with a convex lens 614.
[0036] The colored plate 70 is bonded on a surface of the stepped
edge 613 of the mounting recess 61 of the top cover 60 and is
located under the reflective face 612 of the top cover 60. The
colored plate 70 is an annular plate having a single color,
multiple colors or laser patterns.
[0037] In assembly, the top cover 60 is mounted on the main body 30
and the protruding flange 32 of the main body 30 is mounted in the
mounting recess 61 of the top cover 60. Then, the top cover 60 is
rotated relative to the main body 30, so that each of the locking
blocks 611 of the top cover 60 is rotated and snapped into a
respective one of the snapping plates 321 of the protruding flange
32 of the main body 30 as shown in FIG. 12, thereby locking the top
cover 60 on the main body 30.
[0038] In practice, the reflective face 612 of the top cover 60
co-operates with the colored plate 70 to produce a colorful optical
reflective effect, and the convex lens 614 of the top cover 60
produces an optical amplifying effect, thereby enhancing the
aesthetic quality of the cosmetics container so that the cosmetics
container has an outstanding appearance. In addition, the colored
plate 70 can be removed and replaced, thereby enhancing variation
of the aesthetic quality of the cosmetics container.
[0039] Although the invention has been explained in relation to its
preferred embodiment(s) as mentioned above, it is to be understood
that many other possible modifications and variations can be made
without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is,
therefore, contemplated that the appended claim or claims will
cover such modifications and variations that fall within the true
scope of the invention.
