Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent
Application No. 10-2005-0026299, filed on Mar. 30, 2005, in the
Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is
incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND
[0002] 1. Field of the Invention
[0003] The present invention relates to a cosmetics and cosmetic
goods keeping case, and more particularly, to a cosmetics and
cosmetic goods keeping case formed of an upper body and a lower
body coupled with each other in which a pressing inclined segment
is formed in an internal space formed in the lower body, a cosmetic
goods receiving device into which cosmetic goods are inserted is
coupled with the pressing inclined segment, steps formed in the
lower body are coupled with a cosmetics receiving case that slides
by left and right protruding rails, a locking step formed in the
front end of the upper body is locked in a locking groove formed in
the front part of the cosmetics receiving case, an elastic spring
is made elastic by pressing the cosmetics receiving case so that
the locking step formed in the upper body is released from the
locking groove formed in the cosmetics receiving case and that the
upper body is opened, the cosmetics receiving case is pulled so
that the cosmetic goods receiving device received in the internal
space is elastically rotated by a torsion spring and that the
cosmetic goods can be easily taken out and inserted, and the
cosmetics receiving case is received so that the cosmetic goods
receiving device is pressed and that the cosmetic goods receiving
case is received in the internal space to be stably kept.
[0004] 2. Discussion of Related Art
[0005] Women first apply skin toners and lotions to their faces and
then, apply mascaras, eye shadows, and lipsticks to their
faces.
[0006] Cosmetic goods such as mirrors, brushes for mascaras, eye
shadows, and lipsticks, and so on are to be prepared in order to
apply the mascaras, eye shadows, and lipsticks.
[0007] The cosmetic goods may be included in the cosmetics but are
commonly separated from the cosmetics so that the plurality of
cosmetic goods are to be received in a cosmetics and cosmetic goods
keeping case.
[0008] In a conventional cosmetic goods keeping case, since brushes
are simply received, a brush collides with the other brushes so
that different cosmetics are mixed with each other and that it is
difficult to re-use the brushes. Also, the brushes are deeply
received in the lower part of the cosmetic goods keeping case so
that it is difficult to take out the brushes.
[0009] In order to solve the problems, as illustrated in FIGS. 7
and 8, a cosmetic goods keeping case in which cosmetic goods for
various purposes are kept is used.
[0010] The cosmetic goods keeping case is a top-opened square box.
A first circular hole 110a is formed in one end and a bracket 110b
having a second circular hole 110c is formed in the other end. The
cosmetic goods keeping case also includes a receiving case 110 on
whose inner bottom a mirror 112 is provided, a cosmetic goods
receiving device 114 that is rotated based on a hinge pin 114a
inserted into the first circular hole 110a of the receiving case
110 and in which brush setting grooves 114b into which grips 116a
of a plurality of brushes 116 are inserted are formed, a torsion
spring 118 whose linear extension part in one end extended from a
coil is fixed to the receiving case 110 and whose linear extension
part in the other end extended from the coil is fixed to the
cosmetic goods receiving device 114 so that a force that makes the
cosmetic goods receiving device 114 erect is applied, and a cover
120 that is rotated based on a hinge pin 120a of a side surface
part 120b inserted into the second circular hole 110c of the
bracket 110b of the receiving case 110, that is formed transparent
to cover the receiving case 110, and in whose one end a locking
protrusion 120c locked to a locking groove 110d of the receiving
case 110 is formed.
[0011] In the cosmetic goods keeping case having the above
structure, the cover 120 is closed in a state where the brushes 116
are inserted into the brush settling grooves 114a of the cosmetic
goods receiving device 114 and then, the cosmetic goods receiving
device 114 is forcibly pressed to be received in the receiving case
110 and is rotated. In the cosmetic goods keeping case, when the
cover 120 is opened by releasing the locking protrusion 120c of the
cover 120, the cosmetic goods receiving device 114 is erected by
the elastic force of the torsion spring 118 provided in the hinge
pin 114a. At this time, the plurality of brushes 116 inserted into
the brush settling grooves 114a may be selectively taken out.
[0012] Therefore, when a user desires to apply make-up while
carrying the cosmetics and cosmetic goods in the receiving case
110, the user releases the locking protrusion 120c of the cover 120
from the locking groove 110d of the receiving case 110 to open the
cover 120. At the same time, the cosmetic goods receiving device
114 is automatically erected by the torsion spring 118. At this
time, the user selects the brush 116 to be used and then, applies
make-up with one hand holding the receiving case 110 and the other
hand holding the grip 116a of the brush 116 while looking at the
mirror 112 attached to the bottom of the receiving case 114.
[0013] However, in the conventional cosmetic goods keeping case,
since the force that presses the cosmetic goods receiving device
114 is removed when the cover 120 is opened, the cosmetic goods
receiving device 114 is rapidly erected by the elastic force of the
torsion spring 118. Therefore, the brushes 116 inserted into the
brush settling grooves 114a deviate from the brush settling grooves
114a. In order to prevent the brushes 116 from deviating from the
brush settling grooves 114a, the user must erect the cosmetic goods
receiving device 114 while softly pressing the cosmetic goods
receiving device 114.
[0014] When the used brushes 116 are inserted into the cosmetic
goods receiving device 114 and then, the cosmetic goods receiving
device 114 is kept in the receiving case 110 and the cover 120, the
force that erects the cosmetic goods receiving device 114 is
applied by the elastic force of the spring 118 so that the brushes
116 settled in the cosmetic goods receiving device 114 always
contact the internal surface of the cover 120 to be pressed and
that the brushes 116 are deformed when the brushes 116 are kept in
the receiving case 110 for a long time.

the pin shaft 29 on one side of the lower part of the cosmetic
goods receiving device 30 so that the elastic force is always
applied to the cosmetic goods receiving device 30. Therefore, when
the cosmetics receiving case 40 is pulled to be opened, the
cosmetic goods receiving device 30 is automatically erected.
[0032] The operations and effects of the cosmetics and cosmetic
goods keeping case according to the present invention having the
above structure will be described as follows.
[0033] As illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the cosmetic goods
receiving device 30 in which the plurality of cosmetic goods 36 are
received is received in the internal space 25 of the lower body 20
to be elastically pressed by the torsion spring 34 and is pressed
and fixed by the cosmetics receiving case 40. The locking step 12
formed in the front part of the upper body 10 to correspond to the
lower body 20 is inserted into and locked to the locking groove 42
formed in the front part of the cosmetics receiving case 40.
[0034] At this time, the cosmetic goods receiving device 30
received in the internal space 25 of the lower body 20 is supported
by and pressed by the cosmetics receiving case 40 provided in the
upper part.
[0035] The user carries the cosmetics and cosmetic goods keeping
case in a state where the plurality of cosmetic goods 36 are
settled and the cosmetics receiving case 40 is provided so that the
upper body 10 and the lower body 20 are closed. When the user
wishes to use the brushes that are the cosmetic goods 36, as
illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the user softly presses the pressing
plate 44 formed in the front part of the cosmetics receiving case
40 and softly lifts the upper body 10 so that the locking step 12
of the upper body 10 coupled with and fixed to the locking groove
42 formed in the front part of the cosmetics receiving case 40 is
taken out, that the upper body 10 is released to be opened, and
that the cosmetics receiving case 40 slightly protrudes by the
elastic force of the elastic spring 21b formed in the front part of
the lower body 20.
[0036] The user pulls the lower part of the pressing plate 44
formed in the front part of the cosmetics receiving case 40 in a
state where the upper body 10 is rotated to be opened so that the
force of the lower body 20 that presses the cosmetic goods
receiving device 30 is released and that the cosmetic goods
receiving device 30 is erected by the elastic force of the torsion
spring 34. At this time, the cosmetic goods receiving device 30 is
supported by the rear end of the cosmetics receiving case 40 to be
rotated and erected so that it is possible to prevent the cosmetic
goods 36 from deviating unlike in the conventional art where the
cosmetic goods receiving device is rapidly erected.
[0037] The user takes out and uses the various cosmetic goods 36
settled in the cosmetic goods receiving device 30 erected by
releasing the locking step 12 and by opening the cosmetics
receiving case 40 in a state where the upper body 10 and the lower
body 20 are closed.
[0038] The user uses the various cosmetics 49 received in the
cosmetics receiving parts 46 formed in the cosmetics receiving case
40 using the cosmetic goods 36 taken out from the cosmetic goods
receiving device 30.
[0039] Therefore, in the cosmetics and cosmetic goods keeping case
according to the present invention having the above structure, the
cosmetic goods receiving device 30 is erected by opening the upper
body 10 and the cosmetics receiving case 40 so that the user can
easily take out the cosmetic goods 36 settled in the settling
grooves 32 of the cosmetic goods receiving device 30 and can apply
make-up using the cosmetics 49 received in the cosmetics receiving
parts 46 of the cosmetics receiving case 40 while looking at the

[0040] When the user completes applying the make-up, the user keeps
the cosmetic goods 36 in the settling grooves 32 of the cosmetic
goods receiving hole 30 and pushes the pressing plate 44 of the
cosmetics receiving case 40 so that the rear end of the cosmetics
receiving case 40 presses the pressing inclined segment 31 formed
in the front part of the cosmetic goods receiving device 30, that
the force applied to the cosmetic goods receiving device 30 is made
small, and that the cosmetic goods receiving device 30 is rotatably
received in the internal space 25 of the lower body 20.
[0041] In this state, the upper body 10 is rotated in the lower
part of the cosmetics receiving case 40 while pressing the pressing
plate 44 of the cosmetics receiving case 40 that slightly protrudes
to the rear part. Therefore, the locking step 12 of the upper body
10 is locked to the locking groove 42 formed in the cosmetics
receiving case 40 so that the upper body 10 can be firmly coupled
with and fixed to the lower body 20 and the cosmetics receiving
case 40.
[0042] In the cosmetics and cosmetic goods keeping case according
to the present invention, as described above, the elastic spring is
made elastic and the locking step formed in the upper body is
released from the locking groove formed in the cosmetics receiving
case by pressing the cosmetics receiving case received in the lower
body so that the upper body can be opened. When the cosmetics
receiving case is pulled, the cosmetic goods receiving device
settled in the internal space is elastically rotated by the torsion
spring to be erected so that it is possible to easily take out and
insert the cosmetic goods. When the cosmetics receiving case is
received, the cosmetic goods receiving device is pressed and is
settled in the internal space so that it is possible to stably keep
and carry the cosmetics and cosmetic goods keeping case.
