Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a button-coupled air cushion case, and more particularly, to a button-coupled air cushion case capable of easily confirming the proper coupling of buttons. Background Art

[0002] Generally, a compact case for cosmetics (e.g., pact) is a portable case made by filling makeup base, foundation, powder, color cosmetics, etc. inside. In many cases, it is configured together with a lid to seal and protect the internal filler of the compact case.

[0003] This lid is configured to be assembled with the case. At this time, the lid can be formed to be opened and closed by methods such as insertion into the case, screw-based coupling, or hinge coupling. Among them, in the case of hinge coupling, in order to more firmly seal the lid and the case, it is formed into a structure in which two hooks are engaged and fastened. Here, in order to release the coupling of the hooks, at least one of the two fastened hooks needs to be moved in the direction of releasing the fastening. For this purpose, the compact case is configured with a button structure capable of pushing the hook inward. The button is usually configured such that one of its surfaces is exposed to the outside so that the user can press the button.

[0004] The conventional compact case has an integrated structure formed in the following manner: a button having a hook is formed on the lid and the hook of the lid is installed on a part of the lower case containing cosmetics, or it can be formed by inserting the button into the inside of the lower case for coupling, and is configured as a coupled structure for easy coupling of the lower case and the upper case.

[0005] In such a conventional compact case, when the button is formed in an integrated structure, if post-processing of the button is performed, heat is transferred to the entire button, and there is a problem that the button may be damaged. Also, in the case of an assembled button, when the button is assembled to the lower case, since the button is configured to be symmetric in shape in the up, down, left, and right directions, in the assembly process, the upper and lower surfaces of the button are often confused during assembly. When the upper and lower surfaces of the button are confused during assembly, the installation of the lower case and the lid is omitted, and there is a problem of an increase in the defect rate in the assembly process. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to solve the above-described problems, the button-combined powder puff case of the present invention is configured to include a button in an assemblable form, with a protrusion provided on at least one of the upper surface and the lower surface of the button, and the lower case includes a receiving portion for receiving the protrusion provided on the button.

[0007] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in a button-combined powder puff case, it includes: a lower case; an upper case fastened to the lower case; and a button configured to be combined with the lower case and detachable from the upper case, with a protrusion protruding downward formed on the lower surface of the button. In the structure where the button is normally combined with the lower case, the protrusion is disposed inside the lower case.

[0008] According to an embodiment, in the structure where the button is abnormally combined with the lower case, the protrusion is exposed outside the lower case.

[0009] According to an embodiment, the lower case includes an inner sidewall that is separated from the outer wall of the lower case inward to form a separation space for accommodating the button, and the separation distance between the inner sidewall and the outer wall is greater than the thickness of the button.

[0010] According to an embodiment, the button includes a main body portion and extension members formed to extend to the left and right sides of the main body portion. A first hook for detaching from and attaching to the upper case is formed on the main body portion, and the extension members are inserted into the separation space.

[0011] According to an embodiment, the upper case includes a lid portion that can be rotated by a hinge, and a second hook for detaching from and attaching to the first hook is formed on the lid portion.

[0012] According to an embodiment, the protrusion is formed on the lower surface of the main body portion of the button, and normal combination means that the button and the lower case are combined with the lower surface of the button facing downward.

[0013] According to an embodiment, abnormal combination means that the button and the lower case are combined with the lower surface of the button facing upward.

[0014] According to an embodiment, the extension members are formed to extend to the left and right sides from the inner corner portions of the main body portion, and the protrusion has a shape protruding downward on the lower surface of the inner corner portions of the main body portion.

[0015] According to an embodiment, the protrusion has a color different from that of the button.

[0016] According to an embodiment, the lower case includes a receiving portion configured to receive the protrusion when the button is normally combined.

[0017] Advantages of the Invention

[0018] According to various embodiments of the present invention, in the assembly process of the button - combined powder - puff compact case, when the button and the lower case are abnormally assembled, by forming a protrusion on the lower surface of the button to prevent the installation of the lower case and the upper case or the lid part during installation, the defect rate in the assembly process can be significantly reduced.

[0019] According to various embodiments of the present invention, when assembling the button and the lower case in the assembly process of the button - combined powder - puff compact case, by setting the color of the protrusion on the lower surface of the button to be different from the color of the main body part of the button, defects can be visually identified in the assembly process to reduce the defect rate.

[0020] According to various embodiments of the present invention, by reducing the defect rate in the assembly process of the button - combined powder - puff compact case, the human resources invested in the assembly process can be effectively managed.

[0021] According to various embodiments of the present invention, in the injection - molding process of the button - combined powder - puff compact case, in order to injection - mold the protrusion, instead of deforming the shapes of all the cores, the shape of at least one of the upper core or the lower core is deformed to be able to injection - mold to a position that does not overlap with the side core. Thus, the defect rate can be significantly reduced at a minimum cost with respect to the deformation of the manufacturing process.

[0022] The effects of the present invention are not limited to the above - mentioned effects, and those skilled in the art should be able to clearly understand other effects not mentioned according to the description of the claims. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0040] Figure 1 It is a perspective view of a button - combined powder compact case 100 based on an embodiment of the present invention.

[0041] As shown in the figure, the button - combined powder compact case 100 may include a lower case 110, an upper case 150, and a button 130.

[0042] The lower case 110 may have a receiving space for cosmetics. For example, the cosmetics may include impregnated cosmetics such as foundation, cream, shadow, etc., which are impregnated with a cosmetic composition in a sponge or polyurethane foam. However, it is not limited thereto, and various cosmetics may be used as long as they can be accommodated in the receiving space (RS).

[0043] The lower case 110 may include a bottom plate and side walls that extend upward from the peripheral portion of the bottom plate and together with the bottom plate form the receiving space. The lower case 110 may be provided with a material having sufficient heat resistance at the filling temperature of the cosmetics and having appropriate strength and hardness. For example, the lower case 110 may be provided with an excellent polyurethane photocurable resin having sufficient heat resistance and tensile properties at a filling temperature of about 80°C or higher.

[0044] The lower case 110 may be fastened to the button 130. For example, the button 130 may be inserted into the inside of the lower case 110. The lower case 110 may have an open surface to expose the button 130 portion for the user to press. Through the open surface of the lower case 110, a part of the button 130 can be exposed to the outside in a state fastened to the lower case 100, and through the exposed button 130 portion, the user can press the button 130.

[0045] The lower housing 110 can be fastened to the upper housing 150. The buttons 130s can be disposed between the lower housing 110 and the upper housing 150. In a state where the lower housing 110 and the upper housing 150 are fastened, the buttons 130 can be disposed between the two housings.

[0046] The upper housing 150 can have an annular shape. The edge portion of the upper housing 150 can be fastened to the lower housing 110. Through the opening of the upper housing 150, a receiving space for accommodating cosmetics can be formed.

[0047] The upper housing 150 can include a lid portion (170, refer to Figure 2 ) that can be rotated through a hinge (not shown). In order to provide a space for the hinge structure of the lid portion 170, a coupling groove 120 can be formed. The lid portion 170 can be rotated through the hinge structure. The lid portion can be rotated to close or open the opening of the upper housing 150.

[0048] Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of a button-coupled powder puff case 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0049] The lower housing 110 can be configured to be coupled to the buttons 130. The buttons 130 can be disposed between the lower housing 110 and the upper housing 150. Openings can be formed on the upper surface and the lower surface of the lower housing 110, and the openings formed on the upper surface and the lower surface can be configured to have different sizes.

[0050] Openings can be formed on the upper surface and the lower surface of the upper housing 150, and the openings formed on the upper surface and the lower surface can be configured to have different sizes. The lower surface of the upper housing 150 can be formed to have a size that can be inserted into the opening formed on the upper surface of the lower housing 110 for coupling. The upper surface of the upper housing 150 can be sealed by the lid portion 170.

[0051] The lower housing 110 can include an inner sidewall 112 that is separated inward from the outer wall of the lower housing 110 to form a separation space 114 for accommodating the buttons 130. Here, it can be configured that the separation distance between the inner sidewall 112 and the outer wall 111 is greater than the thickness of the buttons 130. A support portion 113 can be formed to protrude from the upper surface of the inner sidewall 112. Instead, the support portion 113 can be formed in a protruding shape at a portion where the inner sidewall 112 contacts the buttons 130.

[0052] The lower housing 110 may include a coupling groove 120. The hinge 160 may be disposed in the space formed by the coupling groove 120. The hinge 160 may be configured to enable the cover portion 170 of the upper housing 150 to rotate. The coupling groove 120 may be formed at a position opposite to the button 130, but is not limited thereto.

[0053] The lower housing 110 may be fastened to the upper housing 150 in a state of accommodating the button 130. In the lower housing 110, the button 130 can be accommodated in the separation space 114 between the outer wall 111 and the inner wall 112. Instead of forming a protrusion on the inner side surface of the inner wall 112 that contacts the button 130, a protrusion is formed on the other side surface that is opposite thereto, whereby the lower housing 110 can be fastened to the upper housing 150.

[0054] The upper housing 150 may include a cover portion 170 that can rotate through the hinge 160. The cover portion 170 may be configured to be detachable from a part of the button 130. A second hook 152 may be formed on the outer peripheral portion of the lower surface of the cover portion 170, and the second hook 152 may be configured to be fastened to a part of the lower housing 110.

[0055] The outer peripheral portion of the lower surface of the cover portion 170 may be configured to contact the outer peripheral portion of the upper surface of the upper housing 150. A height difference may be formed on the lower surface of the cover portion 170. A protrusion may be formed on the upper surface of the upper housing 150 in a shape corresponding to the height difference formed on the lower surface of the cover portion 170. Thus, there is a structure in which the height difference on the lower surface of the cover portion 170 engages with the protrusion on the upper surface of the upper housing 150, so that the cover portion 170 can close the upper housing 150.

[0056] The button 130 may be configured to be coupled to the lower housing 110 and detachable from the upper housing 150. The button 130 may include a main body portion 131 and extension members 135 formed to extend to the left and right of the main body portion 131 (refer to Figure 4 ). The main body portion 131 of the button 130 may include a first hook 134 formed on the upper surface to be detachable from the cover portion 170, and the first hook 134 may be configured to be detachable from the second hook 152 formed on the outer peripheral portion of the cover portion 170.

[0057] The extension member 135 of the button 130 can be configured to be inserted into the separation space 114 formed between the outer wall 111 and the inner wall 112 of the lower housing 110. The extension member 135 of the button 130 can be supported by the support portion 113 formed on the upper surface of the inner wall 112 provided on the lower housing 110 and / or on one surface in contact with the button of the inner wall 112. The main body portion 131 of the button 130 can move in a state where the extension member 135 is supported by the support portion 113. For example, if the user presses the main body portion 131 to apply pressure thereto, the main body portion 131 can move back and forth inside the lower housing 110. As an embodiment, when the first hook 134 provided on the button 130 is fastened to the second hook 152 provided on the cover portion 170, the fastening between the first hook 134 and the second hook 152 is released by the back-and-forth movement of the button 130, so that the cover portion 170 can be detached and attached.

[0058] Figure 3 FIG. is a view showing a structure in which the lower housing 110 and the button 130 are combined according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 FIG. is a bottom view of the button 130 fastened to the button-integrated powder compact case according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 FIG. is a cross-sectional view showing examples of normal combination and abnormal combination of the lower housing 110 and the button 130 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0059] As Figure 3 shown, the button 130 is combined into the separation space formed between the outer wall 111 and the inner wall 112 of the lower housing 110. The extension member 135 of the button 130 can be inserted into the separation space to be combined with the lower housing 110 and is supported by the support portion 113 formed on the upper surface of the inner wall 112 and / or on one surface in contact with the button of the inner wall 112. As an embodiment, when the main body portion 131 of the button 130 moves back and forth inside the lower housing 110, the extension member 135 is supported by the support portion 113, and only the main body portion 131 can move back and forth.

[0060] The button 130 may include a main body portion 131, a first hook 134, an extension member 135, and a protrusion 132. The extension member 135 may be formed to extend to the left and right sides of the main body portion 131, the protrusion 132 may be formed to protrude downward on the lower surface of the button 130, and the first hook 134 may be formed on the inner side of the opening formed on the upper surface of the main body portion 131.

[0061] As an embodiment, the extension member 135 may be formed to extend from the inner corner portions of the main body portion 131 to the left and right sides, and the protrusion 132 may have a shape protruding downward on the lower surface of the inner corner portions of the main body portion 131.

[0062] When the button 130 is combined with the lower housing 110, it can be classified as a normal combination 500 or an abnormal combination 510 according to whether the lower surface of the button faces upward or downward. The normal combination is equivalent to the button 130 being combined with the lower housing 110 in such a way that the lower surface of the button 130 faces downward, and the abnormal combination is equivalent to the button 130 being combined with the lower housing 110 in such a way that the lower surface of the button 130 faces upward.

[0063] When the button 130 is combined with the lower housing 110, the protrusion 132 can be disposed inside the lower housing 110, and the lower housing 110 can include a receiving portion 136 configured to receive the protrusion 132 when the button 130 is normally combined. As an embodiment, the button 130 can be inserted into the separation space between the outer wall 111 and the inner wall 112 of the lower housing 110, and the protrusion 132 can be received in a part of the receiving portion 136 formed on a part of the lower housing 110 that contacts the lower surface of the main body portion 131.

[0064] When the button 130 is abnormally combined with the lower housing 110, the protrusion 132 can prevent the cover from being combined with the button 130 as it contacts the outer peripheral portion on the lower surface of the cover. As an embodiment, when the abnormal combination is such that the upper surface of the button 130 is inserted into the separation space of the lower housing 110 facing downward, the protrusion 132 can prevent the abnormal combination of the button 130 and the lower housing 110 as it protrudes more than the height of the upper surface of the lower housing 110.

[0065] As an embodiment, the protrusion 132 can have a color different from that of the button 130. For example, when the button 130 is combined with the lower housing 110, in order to prevent abnormal combination, the button 130 can be configured such that the color of the main body portion 131 is different from the color of the protrusion 132. By configuring the colors of the main body portion 131 and the protrusion 132 of the button 130 differently, the abnormal combination can be visually confirmed during the assembly process. On the other hand, although the protrusion 132 is shown and described above as being provided in a protruding form at the inner corner of the main body portion, it is not limited thereto. For example, the protrusion 132 can also be formed in a different pattern form at the inner corner of the lower surface of the main body portion 131.

[0066] Figure 6 It is a diagram showing a first embodiment of the combination of the lower housing and the button based on an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 It is a diagram showing a second embodiment of the combination of the lower housing and the button based on an embodiment of the present invention.

[0067] Figure 6The first embodiment shown is a top view 600 and a front view 610 showing the abnormal combination of the lower housing 110 and the button 130. The abnormal combination may correspond to the combination of the button 130 and the lower housing 110 in such a way that the lower surface of the button 130 faces upward. In the structure where the button 130 and the lower housing 110 are abnormally combined, the protrusion 132 may be exposed outside the lower housing 110.

[0068] As an embodiment, it may be configured as follows: In the structure where the button 130 and the lower housing 110 are abnormally combined, as the protrusion 132 is exposed outside the lower housing 110, the lower housing 110 and the upper housing cannot be fastened. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the defect rate of the manufacturing process in which the cover portion that cannot be fastened to the upper housing and the button 130 cannot be assembled and disassembled due to the abnormal combination in the manufacturing process. Additionally, by configuring the colors of the button 130 and the protrusion 132 differently, it is possible to visually identify the abnormal combination in the assembly process.

[0069] Figure 7 The second embodiment shown is a top view 700 and a front view 710 showing the normal combination of the lower housing 110 and the button 130. The normal combination corresponds to the combination of the button 130 and the lower housing 110 in such a way that the lower surface of the button 130 faces downward. In the structure where the button 130 and the lower housing 110 are normally combined, the protrusion 132 may be disposed inside the lower housing 110.

[0070] As an embodiment, it may be configured as follows: When the lower housing 110 and the button 130 are normally combined, the protrusion 132 provided on the button 130 is received in the receiving portion on the lower housing 110, whereby the lower housing 110 and the upper housing 150 combined with the button 130 can be fastened.

[0071] As an embodiment, openings may be formed on the upper surface and the lower surface of the button 130, and the openings formed on the upper surface and the lower surface of the button 130 may be formed in different sizes. For example, the size of the first opening 137 formed on the lower surface of the button 130 may be smaller than the size of the second opening 138 formed on the upper surface of the button 130.

[0072] In the above, the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications and changes can be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention described in the following claims.
