The upper retaining portion is mounted on an upper end of the longitudinally extending panel and has a corrugated surface defining a plurality of longitudinally extending recesses. The plurality of longitudinally stacked drawers are releasably secured to the longitudinally extending panel. The lower segment is mounted on the lower end of the longitudinally extending panel. The to outer portion has a central passage formed therethrough for removably receiving the inner portion. The outer portion includes a plurality of longitudinally stacked annular plates, with a plurality of semi-cylindrical shells each pivotally secured between adjacent ones of the plurality of longitudinally stacked annular plates.

Description

BACKGROUND1. Field[0001]The disclosure of the present patent application relates to the storage and transport of cosmetics, and particularly to a portable cosmetics container and a cosmetics kit including the portable container as well as a wide variety of cosmetic items.2. Description Of The Related Art[0002]Both personal users of cosmetics and cosmetics professionals, such as makeup artists, make use of a wide variety of different cosmetic items, such as, for example, lipsticks, eyebrow pencils, foundations, mascara and the like. In addition to the cosmetics applied directly to the recipient, a wide variety of different applicators and tools are used, such as brushes, makeup blenders, sponges, mirrors and the like. Since the working surface of a dressing table is flat and relatively large, there is not a general need for the cosmetics products to be small in size or to be capable of being stored together in a make-up bag or the like. However, when away from the home or a professio...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The cosmetics container is a portable device that can store and organize cosmetics and related items. It has a unique design with two portions: an inner portion and an outer portion. The inner portion has a longitudinally extending panel with a corrugated surface and a plurality of drawers for holding various cosmetic items. The outer portion has a central passage with a plurality of stacked annular plates and semi-cylindrical shells to form releasably covered chambers. The container can be used as a portable cosmetics kit with various types of cosmetic items and related items. The hollow cap is for holding a cosmetic blending sponge, and the lower segment has a cosmetic pencil sharpener. The surfaces of the longitudinally extending panel can be mirrored to reveal the releasably covered chambers. The invention provides a convenient and portable way to carry and use various cosmetic items.

Problems solved by technology

However, when away from the home or a professional environment, carrying and organizing such a large number of items becomes problematic.

However, it is often difficult to locate a required individual cosmetics product within the handbag or make-up bag, particularly when other personal items are also carried in the handbag.

Such cases, however, are utilitarian in use and do not give consideration to size or weight, thus making them difficult to transport and store.

Further, such cases typically include rows or racks of individual trays for storing different cosmetics, but these trays are meant for general usage and are not designed to conform precisely to the shapes of particular cosmetics products.

Thus, the products are often held very loosely, resulting in accidental breakage and spills of the cosmetics.

Further, such carrying cases typically use standard full-size cosmetics products and, as such, do not fully cater to the need to provide a compact package which allows a user to access each cosmetics product separately while also retaining the remaining cosmetics products securely in stored positions.

Since cosmetics products are inherently highly personalized to the particular user, and are sold in unnecessarily large sizes, such cosmetics packs are not likely to contain the entire set of cosmetics products desired by an individual and also continue to suffer from the problem of difficult transport and storage.
