Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a cosmetic container, and
more particularly to a cosmetic container having a label that is
received in and attached to a recess provided on the container and
can therefore last for a long time.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] FIGS. 1 and 2 are exploded and assembled perspective views,
respectively, of a conventional cosmetic container 1 frequently
found in the market. The cosmetic container 1 mainly includes a cap
11 and a body 12. A label 121 in the form of a sticker or a thin
sheet bearing the brand of the cosmetic contained in the cosmetic
container 1 is generally directly attached to an outer surface of
the body 12. Such a label 121 tends to spoil an overall appearance
of the cosmetic container 1 and is easily separable from the body
12 after a period of time. That is, the label 121 does not last
long on the cosmetic container 1.
[0003] It is therefore tried by the inventor to develop an improved
cosmetic container to eliminate drawbacks existed in the
conventional one.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] A primary object of the present invention is to provide a
cosmetic container that enables a label to attach thereto over a
prolonged time.
[0005] Another object of the present invention is to provide a
cosmetic container that shows an enhanced overall appearance.
[0006] To achieve the above and other objects, the cosmetic
container of the present invention includes a cap, a body, and a
label. Either the cap or the body is provided with a recess, in
which the label is received without protruding from the recess to
give the whole cosmetic container a smooth, complete, and beautiful
appearance.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0007] The structure and the technical means adopted by the present
invention to achieve the above and other objects can be best
understood by referring to the following detailed description of
the preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings,
wherein
[0008] FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a conventional
cosmetic container;
[0009] FIG. 2 is an assembled view of FIG. 1;
[0010] FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of a cosmetic
container according to a first preferred embodiment of the present
invention;
[0011] FIG. 4 is an assembled view of FIG. 3;
[0012] FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing a first manner of
attaching a label to the cosmetic container of FIG. 3;
[0013] FIG. 6 is a sectional view showing a second manner of
attaching a label to the cosmetic container of FIG. 3; and
[0014] FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of a cosmetic
container according to a second preferred embodiment of the present
invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0015] Please refer to FIGS. 3 and 4 that are exploded and
assembled perspective views, respectively, of a cosmetic container
2 according to a first preferred embodiment of the present
invention. As shown, the cosmetic container 2 includes a cap 21, a
body 22, and a label 222 received in and attached to a recess 221
provided on the body 22.
[0016] FIG. 5 is a sectional view of the cosmetic container 2 of
FIG. 3 showing a first manner of attaching the label 222 to the
recess 221 on the body 22. As shown, the label 222 has a size
identical to that of the recess 221 and can therefore be fitly laid
on a top of the recess 221.
[0017] FIG. 6 is another sectional view of the cosmetic container 2
of FIG. 3 showing a second manner of attaching the label 222 to the
recess 221 on the body 22. As shown, the label 222 is firmly
received in the recess 222 via a layer of adhesive or glue 223
applied on the top of the recess 221.
[0018] Please refer to FIG. 7 that is an exploded perspective view
of a cosmetic container 2 according to a second preferred
embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the cosmetic
container 2 in the second embodiment also includes a cap 21, a body
22, and a label 222 received in and attached to a recess 211
provided on the cap 21.
[0019] As in the first preferred embodiment, the label 222 in the
second preferred embodiment may be received in the recess 211 in
any one of two manners, namely, being fitly laid on a top of the
recess 211 directly or via a layer of adhesive or glue applied on
the recess 211.
[0020] In either manner, the label 222 may always be attached to
the cosmetic container 2 over a prolonged time. Moreover, it is
noted the label 222 in the recess 221 or 211 is flush with an outer
surface of the body 22 or the cap 21 of the cosmetic container 2
without protruding from the recess 221 or 211. And, there is not
any gap or clearance left between the label 222 and the cosmetic
container 2 after the label 222 is fitly laid on or firmly adhered
to the recess 221 or 211, giving the whole cosmetic container 2 a
smooth and complete outer surface. However, it is understood the
above two manners for attaching the label 222 to the recess 221 or
211 on the body 22 or the cap 21 of the cosmetic container 2 are
mentioned by way of example, and not intended to limit the present
invention.
[0021] Since the label 222 included in the present invention is
usually a colored and thin sticker or sheet bearing a brand or
other instruction information about the cosmetic contained in the
cosmetic container 2, it is possible for external light to project
through and be refracted from the label 222 and the body 22 or the
cap 21 to create a fantastic beauty for the whole cosmetic
container 2.
[0022] In the present invention, the label 222 is attached to the
body 22 or the cap 21 of the cosmetic container 2 in the manners
best for attracting consumers to effectively increase the demands
for the cosmetic.
[0023] The following are some of the advantages making the present
invention superior to the cosmetic container of the prior art:
[0024] 1. The label 222 received in the recess 221, 211 will last
for a prolonged time. [0025] 2. The label 222 received in the
recess 221, 222 gives the whole cosmetic container 2 an enhanced
beauty.
[0026] The present invention has been described with some preferred
embodiments thereof and it is understood that many changes and
modifications in the described embodiments can be carried out
without departing from the scope and the spirit of the invention
that is intended to be limited only by the appended claims.
