Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims benefit under 35 U.S.C. .sctn. 119
from Korean Patent Application No. 2004-18966, filed on Jul. 05,
2004, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by
reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] 1. Field of the Invention
[0003] The present invention relates to a case for safekeeping of a
makeup brush, and more particularly, to a case for safekeeping of a
makeup brush which is able safekeep in a single case various kinds
of makeup brushes used for women's makeup, makes it convenient to
check if it is present or lost, and enables to keep the case in a
standing position stably during the use of a makeup brush.
[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0005] Generally, there are a large variety of makeup brushes used
for women to put on makeup, including a brush for applying
foundation or powder to one's face for base makeup or solid makeup,
a mascara brush for applying mascara to ones' eyelashes, a brush
for applying a lipstick to one's lips, and so on.
[0006] The aforementioned makeup brushes are generally housed in
their corresponding cosmetic case. In order for women to apply
makeup to their face, eyelashes and lips, they should take out a
brush housed in the corresponding case by cosmetic items, and then
get cosmetic content on the brush and apply it to their face.
[0007] To put on makeup to the face in this way, as the case now
stands, the user has to take out one of those brushes housed by
cosmetic items to use it, and then put and keep it again by
cosmetic items after use.
[0008] As set forth above, it is troublesome to frequently get a
makeup brush in and out of the case in the use of a necessary
makeup brush, the contents put on the makeup brush may contaminate
the case because the makeup brush in use has to be stood on the
cosmetic case for a while so as to use another makeup brush, and
further there is a possibility of loss.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0009] The present invention has been proposed to solve the
aforementioned problems, and it is an object of the present
invention to provide a case for safekeeping of a makeup brush which
can be used safely in a standing position by storing a wide variety
of makeup brushes in a single safekeeping case, and allows to check
if it is present or lost and check for a safekeeping status at a
glance.
[0010] To achieve the above object of the present invention, there
is provided a case for safekeeping of a makeup brush, comprising: a
transparent window opening and closing member for supporting a case
body from both sides; and a plurality of stored makeup brushes
intercepted to be prevented from being easily released from the
case body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0019] A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be
described in detail with reference to the accompanying
drawings.
[0020] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention. FIG.
2 is a perspective view of a makeup brush when stored according to
the present invention. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view
according to the present invention. FIG. 4 is a sectional view
taken along line `A-A` of FIG. 2. FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken
along line `B-B` of FIG. 2. FIG. 6 is a plane view of a makeup
brush fixture according to the present invention.
[0021] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the case for safekeeping of a
makeup case comprises: a rectangular case body 3 having an opening
1 formed on the top part and first and second stopping grooves 2
and 2a formed on the upper ends of both side walls; a pair of
opening and closing members 6 hingeably coupled to both sides of
the body 3 to vertically rotate symmetrical to each other, and
having protuberances 5 formed at both sides of an inner wall 4
adjacent to hinged portions so as to be coupled to the first and
second stopping grooves 2 and 2a, each of the opening and closing
members 6 having a coupling protuberance 6b and a fixed coupling 6a
formed on the upper ends thereof; and a makeup brush fixture 10
having a plurality of brush handle insertion slots 8 and a
plurality of brush handle interceptors 9 formed respectively at the
upper part and lower part thereof so as to be inserted into the
opening 1 of the body 3 and store a makeup brush 7.
[0022] Intercepting long protuberances 9a are formed facing each
other on the inner peripheries of the brush handle interceptors
9.
[0023] Rounds 11 are formed on the outer sides of the upper ends of
the opening and closing members 6 so that the case body can be kept
in a standing position more stably when the opening and closing
members are rotated.
[0024] Front surfaces or front and rear surfaces of the opening and
closing members 6 are made of a transparent body so as to be able
to check for a safekeeping status of the makeup brush 7 housed in
the case body 3 or check if it is lost or not.
[0025] In the case for safekeeping of a makeup brush as set forth
above, when the make brush 7 is inserted into the brush handle
insertion slot 8 of the makeup brush fixture 10, the pair of
intercepting long protuberances 9a formed on the inner periphery of
the brush handle interceptor 9 intercepts and fixes the brush
handle.
[0026] Meanwhile, the fixing couplings 6a of the pair of opening
and closing members 6, hingeably coupled to both sides of the case
body 3 in order to safekeep the makeup brush housed in the body,
are rotated upward so as to be coupled to the coupling
protuberances 6b formed on the opening and closing member at the
opposite side, the protuberances 5 of the opening and closing
member 6 are released from the second stopping grooves 2 of the
case body 3 and slid to be coupled to the first stopping grooves
2a, and at the same time the upper part of the case body 3 is
closed. In this state, the makeup brush 7 is safely kept in the
case.
[0027] If it is desired to use the makeup brush to put on makeup,
with the case body 3 closed by the coupling of the opening and
closing members 6, a given force is applied to the upper end so
that the fixed couplings 6a are released from the coupling
protuberances 6b, and then the opening and closing members 6 each
are rotated in a downward direction upon the hinged portions as the
axis, whereby the round portions 11 are positioned on the same line
as the lower end of the case body 3.
[0028] At this time, the protuberances 5 of the opening and closing
member 6 are slid as being released from the first stopping grooves
2 of the case body 3, and then coupled and fixed to the second
stopping grooves 2a. By this, the case body 3 can continuously
maintain a safe standing position.
[0029] The foregoing embodiment and advantages are merely exemplary
and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention. The
present teaching can be readily applied to other types of
apparatuses. Also, the description of the embodiments of the
present invention is intended to be illustrative, and not to limit
the scope of the claims, and many alternatives, modifications, and
variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
[0030] As described above, the present invention has no possibility
of loss because the case body is not easily released even if
collapsed by inserting a variety of makeup brushes into the brush
handle fixture and intercepting the brush handles by means of the
brush handle interceptors, makes it possible to use the makeup
brush in a safe standing posture because the opening and closing
members support the makeup brush from both sides of the case body,
offers convenient safekeeping and carrying functions by storing a
plurality of makeup brushes in a single safekeeping case whose
opening and closing members are made of a transparent body, and
allows to check if the makeup brush is present or lost and check
for a safekeeping status at a glance.
