Description
FIELD OF INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a cosmetic compact, and
more particularly to a cosmetic compact comprising an interactive
drawer arrangement adapted to fully utilize and expose the upper
and lower drawers for providing a variety of cosmetics or jewelry
storage space with compact size.
BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
Description of Related Arts
[0002] Nowadays, a container for holding or storing items such as
cosmetics and jewelry is commonly used in our daily life especially
for lady. One of the most common types of decorative box is the
cosmetic container. It is usually fitted with a tray divided into
many small compartments. Because the cosmetic container is
portable, women always carry the cosmetic container with them.
However, the cosmetics container has several drawbacks.
[0003] On type of the conventional cosmetic container comprises
only one drawer tray. Due to the limited storage space of the
cosmetic container, it is not allowed for people to put all
different varieties of cosmetic items or jewelry inside. Even
though the user only puts all the small items in the trays, the
items are not organized. It is a hassle for the user to pick the
desired item in the cosmetic container, especially when the desired
item is hidden at the bottom of the tray and is covered by other
items. The only thing they can do is to grab all the items out, and
picks the right one, and then put them back in the tray. It
undoubtedly increases the chance of lost. Moreover, the procedure
of picking and storage is very time-consuming.
[0004] Another type of conventional cosmetic container comprises a
detachable upper tray removably supported in the case that the
bottom interior cavity of the case forms a bottom tray when the
upper tray is disposed in the case. Therefore, the user is able to
take out the upper tray to put the items into the case. However,
when the user wants to take the desired item at the bottom tray, he
or she must remove the upper tray. Such cosmetic container requires
relatively large tabletop area to support especially when the upper
tray is removed from the case.
[0005] The third type of conventional cosmetic container comprises
two different trays. When the cover is opened, the upper tray can
be pivotally and outwardly lifted up from the bottom tray such that
both the upper and bottom trays are fully exposed for the user to
access. However, once the upper tray is outwardly lifted from the
bottom tray, the center of gravity of the cosmetic container will
shift in responsive to the position of the upper tray. Therefore,
the cosmetic container will be supported in an unstable manner.
When the heavier items are placed on the upper tray, the cosmetic
container will be flipped over at the time the upper tray is
outwardly folded.
[0006] Furthermore, the common drawback of the above mentioned
containers is that the trays are designed not to detach from the
case. Once the user wants to clean the cosmetic container, the only
way he/she can do is to clean the surface of the cosmetics
container with a wet cloth. It is not only hard to clean, but also
impossible to clean well in detail. To sum up, it obviously can not
achieve the current needs based on the existing cosmetics
container.
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
[0007] A main object of the present invention is to provide a
cosmetics container, wherein the cosmetic compact comprises an
interactive drawer arrangement adapted to fully utilize and expose
the upper and lower drawer for providing a variety of cosmetics or
jewelry storage space with compact size.
[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide a
cosmetics container, wherein the overall weight of the upper and
lower drawers is supported by the engaging gear such that when the
upper and lower drawers are slid in the opposite opening
directions, the center of gravity of the cosmetic container will
remain the same in a stable manner.
[0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide a
cosmetics container, wherein both of the upper and lower drawers
slide away from each other through the engaging gears at the same
time such that it simplify the operation of the expose the upper
and lower drawers. In the same way, both the upper and lower
drawers are slid towards each other through the engaging gears at
the same time.
[0010] Another object of the present invention is to provide a
cosmetics container, wherein the gear is supported by the upper and
the lower groove of the sidewall and remains the supporting
distance constant such that it simplify the structure and minimize
the manufacturing cost.
[0011] Another object of the present invention is to provide a
cosmetics container, wherein the upper and lower drawers are
detachable such that the user is able to clean the detail of inside
and outside of the cosmetics container.
[0012] Another object of the present invention is to provide a
cosmetics container, wherein the upper and lower drawers are
enclosed with the cover not only to ensure the unintentional
folding operation of the upper and lower drawers but also to
enhance the aesthetic appearance of the cosmetics container.
[0013] Another object of the present invention is to provide a
cosmetics container, wherein the material of the cosmetics
container is in light weight and the structural configuration of
the cosmetics container is compact to enhance the portability
thereof.
[0014] Accordingly, in order to accomplish the above objects, the
present invention provides a container base comprising a container
base, a container cover coupling with the container base to enclose
the container base, and an interactive drawer arrangement.
[0015] The interactive drawer arrangement comprises an upper drawer
slidably coupling between two sidewalls of the container base, a
lower drawer slidably coupling between the sidewalls of the
container base at a position underneath the upper drawer; and an
interactive mechanism engaging between the upper and lower drawers
to interactively shift the upper and lower drawers between an
opened position and a closed position. At the opened position, the
interactive mechanism is driven to automatically and concurrently
shift the upper and lower drawers at two opposite opening
directions so as to fully utilize and expose the upper and lower
drawers. At the closed position, the interactive mechanism is
driven to automatically and concurrently shift the upper and lower
drawers at two opposite closing directions such that the upper and
lower drawers are fully packed and enfolded in a double decked
manner.
[0016] These and other objectives, features, and advantages of the
present invention will become apparent from the following detailed

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0022] Referring to FIG. 1 to 5 of the drawings, a cosmetic
container according to a preferred embodiment of the present
invention is illustrated, wherein the cosmetic container, which is
adapted for storing items such as cosmetics, watches and jewelries,
comprises a container base 10, a container cover, 20, and an
interactive drawer arrangement 30.
[0023] The container base 10 comprises a bottom wall 11 and two
opposed sidewalls 12. The container cover 20 is coupled with the
container base 10 to enclose the container base 10.
[0024] The interactive drawer arrangement 30 comprises an upper
drawer 31 slidably coupling between two sidewalls 12 of the
container base 10 and a lower drawer 32 slidably coupling between
the sidewalls 12 of the container base 10 at a position underneath
the upper drawer 31. Accordingly, the lower drawer 32 is supported
between the upper drawer 31 and the bottom wall 11 of the container
base 10. The interactive drawer arrangement 30 further comprises an
interactive mechanism 33 engaging between the upper and lower
drawers 31, 32 to interactively shift the upper and lower drawers
31, 32 between an opened position and a closed position.
[0025] At the opened position, the interactive mechanism 33 is
driven to automatically and concurrently shift the upper and lower
drawers 31, 32 at two opposite opening directions so as to fully
utilize and expose the upper and lower drawers 31, 32, as shown in
FIG. 3. At the closed position, the interactive mechanism 33 is
driven to automatically and concurrently shift the upper and lower
drawers 31, 32 at two opposite closing directions such that the
upper and lower drawers 31, 32 are fully packed and enfolded in a
double decked manner, as shown in FIG. 2.
[0026] As shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5, the container base 10 has a
U-shaped cross section to define the two sidewalls 12 upwardly and
parallely extended from two longitudinal edge of the bottom wall
11.
[0027] The container cover 20 comprises a first side panel 21
integrally and foldably extended from the container base 10, a top
panel 22 integrally and foldably extended from the first side panel
21 edge-to-edge, and a second side panel 23 integrally and foldably
extended from the top panel 22 edge-to-edge. Accordingly, the first
side panel 21, having a height corresponding to a height of each of
the sidewalls 12 of the container base 10, is integrally extended
from one of the transverse edge of the container base 10. The top
panel 22 has a size corresponding to a size of the bottom wall 11
of the container base 10. The second side panel 23 has a
corresponding size of the first side panel 21 that the height of
the second side panel 23 matches with the height of each of the
sidewalls 12 of the container base 10.
[0028] The container cover 20 is foldably enclosed the interactive
drawer arrangement 30 when the top panel 22 covers on top of the
upper drawer 31 while the first and second side panels 21, 23 forms
another two sidewalls of the container base 10 to enclose two
opposed sides of the upper and lower drawers 31, 32. In other
words, when the container cover 20 is folded to enclose the
container base 10, the upper and lower drawers 31, 32 cannot be
slid from the closed position to the opened position so as to
retain the upper and lower drawers 31, 32 at the closed
position.
[0029] According to the preferred embodiment, the upper and lower
drawers 31, 32 are horizontally and parallely mounted between the
sidewalls 12 of the container base 10 such that the upper and lower
drawers 31, 32 are slid outwardly in the opposite direction at the
opened position. In other words, the upper and lower drawers 31, 32
are slid inwardly in the opposite direction at the closed
position.
[0030] Each of the upper and lower drawers 31, 32 contains a
plurality of organizing compartments 311, 321 with different sizes,
such that the organizing compartments 311, 321 are fully exposed
when the upper and lower drawers 31, 32 are slid at the opened
position, while only the organizing compartments 311 of the upper
drawer 31 are exposed when the upper and lower drawers 31, 32 are
slid at the closed position. In other words, the user is able to
select different configurations of the cosmetic container by
closing the container cover 20 to enclose all the organizing
compartments 311, 321 of the upper and lower drawers 31, 32, by
opening the container cover 20 to only expose the organizing
compartments 311 of the upper drawer 31, or by sliding out the
upper and lower drawers 31, 32 concurrently to fully expose all the
organizing compartments 311, 321 of the upper and lower drawers 31,
32.
[0031] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the interactive mechanism 33
comprises two elongated upper guiders 331 mounted at two sides of
the upper drawer 31 respectively, two elongated lower guiders 332
mounted at two sides of the lower drawer 32 respectively, and two
engaging gears 333 rotatably engaging between the upper and lower
guiders 331, 332 such that when the upper drawer 31 is slid at the
opening direction, the engaging gears 333 are driven to rotate to
drive the lower drawer 32 to concurrently slide at the opposed
opening direction.
[0032] It is wroth to mention that both the upper and lower drawers
31, 32 are slid away from each other through the engaging gears 333
at the same time to the opened position such that it simplify the
operation of the expose the upper and lower drawers 31, 32. In the
same way, both the upper and lower drawers 31, 32 are slid towards
each other through the engaging gears 333 at the same time to the
closed position.
[0033] As shown in FIG. 1, the container base 10 further has two
upper sliding grooves 13 provided at the sidewalls 12 to slidably
engage with the upper guiders 331 respectively, and two lower
sliding groves 14 provided at the sidewalls 12 below the upper
sliding grooves 13 to slidably engage with the lower guiders 332
respectively, such that the upper and lower drawers 31, 32 the
guided to slide between the opened position and the closed
position. Accordingly, when the upper drawers 31 is slidably
mounted between the sidewalls 12 of the container base 10, the
sliding engagement between the upper sliding grooves 13 and the
upper guiders 331 can evenly distribute the overall weight of the
upper drawer 31, especially the items are stored therein, to the
sidewalls 12 of the container base 10. Likewise, when the lower
drawers 32 is slidably mounted between the sidewalls 12 of the
container base 10, the sliding engagement between the lower sliding
grooves 14 and the lower guiders 332 can evenly distribute the
overall weight of the lower drawer 32 to the sidewalls 12 of the
container base 10. Therefore, when the upper and lower drawers 31,
32 are slid between the sidewalls 12 of the container base 10, the
upper and lower drawers 31, 32 can keep the stably sliding movement
thereof.
[0034] Each of the upper guiders 331 has a bottom teething track
3311 engaging with an upper portion of the respective engaging gear
333. Correspondingly, each of the lower guiders 332 has an upper
teething track 3321 engaging with a lower portion of the respective
engaging gear 333. It is worth to mention that the upper guiders
331 can be built-in with the upper drawer 31 that the bottom
teething tracks 3311 are spacedly formed at a bottom side of the
upper drawer 31. Likewise, the lower guiders 332 can be built-in
with the lower drawer 32 that the upper teething tracks 3321 are
spacedly formed at a top side of the lower drawer 32.
[0035] Accordingly, when the upper drawer 31 is slid outwardly, the
engaging gears 33 are driven to rotate through the engagement of
the bottom teething tracks 3311 respectively. The rotation of the
engaging gears 33 will drive the lower drawer 32 to slide at the
opposite direction of the upper drawer 31. In other words, when the
upper drawer 31 is horizontally slid between the sidewalls 12 of
the container base 10, the lower drawer 32 will automatically be
slid at the opposite direction of the upper drawer 31.
[0036] According to the preferred embodiment, each of the upper and
lower guiders 331, 332 further has a corresponding stopper end
3312, 3322 and an opposed opening end 3313, 3323, as shown in FIG.
5, wherein each of the engaging gears 333 is stopped being rotated
at the stopper ends 3312, 3322 of the upper and lower guiders 331,
332 to retain the upper and lower drawers 31, 32 at the opened
position. The stopper ends 3312 of the upper guiders 331 are formed
at one side of the upper drawer 31 wherein the stopper ends 3322 of
the lower guiders 332 are formed at another side of the lower
drawer 31 with respect to the upper drawer 31. Therefore, when the
upper and lower drawers 31, 32 are slid at the opened position, the
distance between the stopper ends 3312 of the upper guiders 331 and
the stopper ends 3322 of the lower guiders 332 is reduced until the
stopper end 3312, 3322 of the upper and lower guiders 331, 332
reach the engaging gear 333. Once the stopper end 3312, 3322 of the
upper and lower guiders 331, 332 reach the engaging gear 333, the
upper and lower drawers 31, 32 cannot be further slid with respect
to the sidewalls 12 of the container base 10.
[0037] When the upper and lower drawers 31, 32 are slid at the
closed position, the distance between the stopper ends 3312 of the
upper guiders 331 and the stopper ends 3322 of the lower guiders
332 is increased. In other words, the distance between the opening
ends 3313 of the upper guiders 331 and the opening ends 3323 of the
lower guiders 332 is reduced. It is worth to mention that when the
upper and lower drawers 31, 33 is kept sliding after the closed
position, the upper and lower drawers 31, 32 are slid out of the
container base 10 through the opening ends 3313, 3323 of the upper
and lower guiders 331, 332.
[0038] Accordingly, the traditional container does not provide the
slide-out configuration of the tray. Once the user wants to clean
inside the cosmetic container, especially the bottom wall 11 of the
container base 10, the user is able to slidably detach the upper
and lower drawers 31, 32 from the container base 10. Then, the
upper and lower drawers 31, 32 can be slid to engage with the
engaging gears 333 to mount the upper and lower drawers 31, 32 back
between the sidewalls 12 of the container base 10. In other words,
the present invention also provides a simple but secure assembling
operation of the upper and lower drawers 31, 32.
[0039] The engaging gears 333 are rotatably affixed to the
sidewalls 12 of the container base 10 to retain the engaging gears
333 in position. More particularly, a center of each of the
engaging gears 333 is coupled at the respective sidewall 12 at a
position between the upper and lower sliding grooves 13, 14.
Accordingly, the engaging gears 333 can substantially support the
weight of the upper drawer 31 and thus retain the distance between
the upper and lower drawers 31, 32. Since the engaging gears 333
are supported at the middle of the sidewalls 12 of the container
base 10, the center of gravity of the cosmetics container will keep
at the center thereof even though the upper and lower drawers 31,
32 are slid outwardly so as to maintain the stabilization of the
cosmetics container of the present invention.
[0040] It is worth to mention that the engaging gears 333 are
rotatably mounted at inner sides of the sidewalls 12 of the
container base 10. The upper and lower sliding grooves 13, 14 are
formed at the inner sides of the sidewalls 12 of the container base
10 to receive the upper and lower guiders 331, 332. The width of
each of the upper and lower drawers 31, 32 is slightly smaller than
a distance between the sidewalls 12 of the container base 10.
Therefore, when the upper and lower drawers 31, 32 are slidably
mounted between the sidewalls 12 of the container base 10, the
interactive mechanism 33 hidden within the container base 10 so as
to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the cosmetic container of
the present invention.
[0041] One skilled in the art will understand that the embodiment
of the present invention as shown in the drawings and described
above is exemplary only and not intended to be limiting.
[0042] It will thus be seen that the objects of the present
invention have been fully and effectively accomplished. The
embodiments have been shown and described for the purposes of
