AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a compact cosmetic container with a removable protection layer for supporting a solid, liquid, paste, or powder cosmetic product. The purpose of the protection layer is to protect the product and indicate if the case or the product has been tampered with. The container can be assembled by combining a conventional housing with a godet or a conventional gut, or a pre-assembly component with the protection layer. The protection layer is at least partially transparent so that the product can be easily inspected without touching or contaminating it. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a simple and reliable compact cosmetic container with a removable protection layer for the protection of the cosmetic product.

Problems solved by technology

If the removable protection layer is found not to be as expected, it may be inferred that the case or the cosmetic product has been tampered with between the time of assembly and the time or purchase.

Embodiment Construction

[0026]Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a compact cosmetic container 10 according to an embodiment of the invention. The container 10 comprises a housing 12 formed with an aperture 14 for receiving a godet 16 supporting a cosmetic product 17. A godet is typically otherwise referred to in the field of cosmetic packaging as a godet tray, a tray or a platform that is adapted to support or hold a cosmetic product such as a pressed powder.

[0027]The housing 12 is formed from a lid portion 18 and a base portion 20, and the aperture 14 is formed in the center of the base portion 20.

[0028]Here, the godet 16 is inserted into the aperture 14 from below (as indicated by the arrow labeled “A”). When inserted, the top surface of the cosmetic product 17 is recessed from the upper surface 22 of the base portion 20. In other words, the assembled container 10 has a housing 12 with a recess 24 in which the cosmetic product 17 is supported.

[0029]The mouth of the recess 24 (i.e. the aperture 14) is co...
