Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a cover and more
particularly to a cover for cosmetics.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Nowadays, the cover for cosmetics in the market such as the
container of lipstick, facial cream, lotion, or palette is made of
plastic. Usually, the plastic cover for cosmetics is painted or
designed in overall appearance to enhance the value of cosmetics.
However, the cosmetic with plastic cover still looks cheap for most
of consumers, and the rigid material like plastic is easy to be
damaged and cracked when carried. Also, the plastic cosmetic cover
is more likely to cause environmental pollution. Therefore, there
remains a need for a new and improved design for a cover for
cosmetics to overcome the problems presented above.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The present invention provides a cover for cosmetics which
comprises a main body having an outer surface at an outer periphery
thereof, and the outer surface is covered by a cork layer which is
made of compacted cork.
[0004] In one embodiment, the main body is a container for a
lipstick, a lip cream, or a lip gloss; the main body comprises a
base and a first upper cover which are configured to fit together,
and the cork layer is configured to cover the outer surfaces of the
base and the first upper cover through the mold extrusion
process.
[0005] In another embodiment, the main body is a container for a
facial cream or a lotion, and the cork layer is adhered to and
covers the outer surface of a second upper cover of the main body
through the mold extrusion process.
[0006] In still another embodiment, the main body is a palette
which has a plate and a lid, and the cork layer is adhered to and
covers the outer surfaces of the plate and the lid through the mold
extrusion process, and an inner surface of the lid comprises a
mirror.
[0007] In a further embodiment, the outer surface of the main body
comprises at least a locating groove, and when the cork layer is
adhered to and covers the outer surface of the main body through
the mold extrusion process, an inner surface of the cork layer is
squeezed into the locating groove to form an engaging rib.
[0008] In still a further embodiment, the cork layer is adhered to
and covers the outer surface of the main body through a sheet
winding way.
[0009] Comparing with conventional cover for cosmetics, the present
invention is advantageous because: (i) the outer surface of the
main body is covered by the cork layer, which enables the main body
to have high-quality appearance; (ii) the cork layer can protect
the main body and achieve the effect of environmental protection;
and (iii) when the main body is carried by a bag, the cork layer
can prevent damages or scratches on the main body and a lining of
the bag due to rubbing against each other.

described can be used in the practice or testing of the invention,
the exemplary methods, devices and materials are now described.
[0022] All publications mentioned are incorporated by reference for
the purpose of describing and disclosing, for example, the designs
and methodologies that are described in the publications that might
be used in connection with the presently described invention. The
publications listed or discussed above, below and throughout the
text are provided solely for their disclosure prior to the filing
date of the present application. Nothing herein is to be construed
as an admission that the inventors are not entitled to antedate
such disclosure by virtue of prior invention.
[0023] In order to further understand the goal, characteristics and
effect of the present invention, a number of embodiments along with
the drawings are illustrated as following:
[0024] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the present invention provides a
cover for cosmetics which comprises a main body (10) having an
outer surface (11) at an outer periphery thereof, and the outer
surface (11) is covered by a cork layer (12) which is made of
compacted cork to enable the main body (10) to have a cork material
texture. Also, the cork layer (12) is adapted to protect the main
body (10) and achieve the effect of environmental protection.
[0025] Referring FIGS. 1 to 3, in one embodiment, the main body
(10) is a container for a cosmetic such as lipstick, lip cream, and
lip gloss. The main body (10) comprises a base (101) and a first
upper cover (102) which are configured to fit together, and the
cork layer (12) is configured to cover the outer surfaces (11) of
the base (101) and the first upper cover (102) through the mold
extrusion process.
[0026] In another embodiment, referring to FIG. 4, each of the
outer surfaces (11) of the base (101) and the first upper cover
(102) has at least a locating groove (111) (the locating groove
(111) on the base (101) is not shown in FIGs.). The cork layer (12)
is adapted to cover the outer surfaces (11) of the base (101) and
the first upper cover (102) through the mold extrusion process, and
an inner surface of the cork layer (12) is squeezed into the two
locating grooves (111) to form two engaging ribs (121) so as to
improve the connection between the cork layer (12) and the outer
surfaces (11).
[0027] In still another embodiment, referring to FIG. 5, the cork
layer (12) is adhered to and covers the outer surface (11) of the
main body (10) through a sheet winding way.
[0028] In a further embodiment, the main body (10) is a container
for a cosmetic such as facial cream and lotion. Referring to FIGS.
6 and 7, the cork layer (12) is adhered to and covers the outer
surface (11) of a second upper cover (103) of the main body (10)
through the mold extrusion process, and a bottle portion of the
main body (10) is made of glass which is see-through.
[0029] In still a further embodiment, the main body (10) is a
palette, referring to FIGS. 8 and 9. The palette comprises a plate
(104) and a lid (105), and the cork layer (12) is adhered to and
covers the outer surfaces (11) of the plate (104) and the lid (105)
through the mold extrusion process, and an inner surface of the lid
(105) comprises a mirror.
[0030] In a particular embodiment, referring to FIG. 10, each of
the outer surfaces (11) of the plate (104) and the lid (105)
comprises a plurality of locating grooves (111) such that when the
cork layer (12) is adhered to and covers the outer surfaces (11) of
the main body (10) through the mold extrusion process, the inner
surface of the cork layer (12) is squeezed into the locating
grooves (111) to form the engaging ribs (121) so as to improve the
connection between the cork layer (12) and the outer surfaces
(11).
[0031] Comparing with conventional cover for cosmetics, the present
invention is advantageous because: (i) the outer surface (11) of
the main body (10) is covered by the cork layer (12), which enables
the main body (10) to have high-quality appearance; (ii) the cork
layer (12) can protect the main body (10) and achieve the effect of
environmental protection; and (iii) when the main body (10) is
carried by a bag, the cork layer (12) can prevent damages or
scratches on the main body (10) and a lining of the bag due to
rubbing against each other.
[0032] Having described the invention by the description and
illustrations above, it should be understood that these are
exemplary of the invention and are not to be considered as
limiting. Accordingly, the invention is not to be considered as
limited by the foregoing description, but includes any
equivalents.
