AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a cosmetic compact with a double folding lid and a mirror on the lid. The compact is designed to open from a closed position to a fully open position with the mirror directed towards the user. The lid may be biased to close or fully open based on its weight. The technical effect of this design is that it provides a convenient and user-friendly way to access and use the included cosmetic products.

Problems solved by technology

However, in other examples, no spring bias is provided, and the design biases toward open or shut lid positions based on geometry and weight, without the added complexity of spring biasing.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cosmetic compact having a folding lid and mirror, with the lid closed. The cosmetic compact 10 includes a base 20 on which a first lid section 40 and a second lid section 60 lie. The first lid section 40 includes a mirror 50 that is visible when the lid is closed, as shown by FIG. 1.

[0026]The overall structure defines three pivots shown at 90, 92, 94. A rear pivot 90 couples the second lid section 60 to the base 20. The center pivot 92 couples the first lid section 40 to the second lid section 60. The front pivot 94 couples the first lid section 40 to the base 20. The rear pivot 90 is fixed relative to the base 20, however, the center pivot 92 and front pivot 94 move relative to the base as shown below in FIGS. 9 and 10 as the lid is opened. Any suitable materials may be used for the various parts shown and the mirror. For example, glass, thermoplastics, thermoset materials, metals, ceramics, and / or natural materials (wood, stone, etc.) maybe ...

Abstract

A cosmetic compact container having a folding lid with a mirror on the folding lid. The compact includes a base and first and section lid sections. One of the two lid sections may include a mirror. An example may enable a user to view the mirror both in the closed and open configuration. Another example may include a particular opening configuration in which the lid is biased to close during a first stage of opening and, after reaching a selected “amount” of opening, the lid is biased to finish opening. Such biasing may be accomplished without the use of a spring.
