Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a small, handheld case, and more specifically to a cosmetic case that allows a user to remove a single-dose applicator pouch. Background Technology

[0002] Small cosmetic cases are well-known in industry. However, there is always a need to design and create unique cosmetic cases specifically designed and manufactured to address a particular purpose. This contrasts with cosmetic cases containing open cosmetics that may dry or spill. Therefore, the industry has developed cosmetic cases that contain pre-packaged single-dose sachets. These sachets may contain applicators, wipes, or creams for use on the face or hands, and are then discarded. However, cases containing these individual sachets are often not user-friendly and do not readily allow for single-dose refills. Therefore, there is a need for an invention that provides an easy-to-use and easily refillable cosmetic case, relative to existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In one embodiment of the invention, a cosmetic case is provided for accommodating at least one pouch. The case includes a base having a front portion and a rear portion, and an outer wall forming an internal hollow section. A lid, hinged to the base, provides a secure closure to the case. Within the base, a bottom insert, characterized by a flat top having a recessed section and a magnet, is positioned and secured. This bottom insert allows for easy removal and replacement of the pouch, thus ensuring user convenience.

[0004] Furthermore, a removable body insert is included, providing further organization with a lower section connected by side sections and an inclined upper section. The body insert is characterized by multiple channels for the pouch and is secured within the base using magnets. The inner cap, secured within the cap, includes a cavity and a closure mechanism involving magnets to ensure the cap remains closed when not in use.

[0005] The design of this cosmetic case, with its defined gap at the front, ensures easy opening of the lid when needed. This feature enhances the user experience, making it easy to access and replace the pouches as needed. Overall, this provides a compact and efficient solution for storing and organizing cosmetic pouches.

[0006] In another embodiment, an enhancement to the cosmetic case design is provided, focusing on the secure attachment of the bottom insert and body insert within the base. The bottom insert is secured to the bottom member of the base using a pair of diameter-extending end flanges and a pair of vertically extending side posts. These components engage with hooks and grooves on the bottom insert to ensure a stable connection.

[0007] Furthermore, a magnet is used to secure the body insert within the base. A bottom insert magnet positioned within a recessed section of the bottom insert attracts a lower body insert magnet positioned within a recess on the underside of the body insert. This magnetic connection ensures that the body insert remains firmly held in place within the base, even during movement or transport.

[0008] These claims also detail the closure mechanism of the inner cap, involving a magnet that holds the cap closed against the base. The inner cap magnet and the body insert magnet are designed to attract each other when the cap is closed, thereby ensuring a secure closure. These enhancements improve the overall functionality and usability of the cosmetic case, providing a safe and organized storage solution for cosmetic pouches.

[0009] In another embodiment of the invention, a cosmetic case is defined, focusing on a magnetic closure and attachment mechanism. The case includes a bottom insert and a body insert, the bottom insert having a magnet fixed within a recessed section, and the body insert having a lower magnet fixed within a recess on its underside. These magnets ensure a secure attachment between the insert and the base, preventing accidental displacement during use.

[0010] Furthermore, the closure mechanism of the inner cap is described in detail, including an inner cap magnet positioned within the front surface of the inner cap. This magnet attracts a magnet on the body insert positioned within the foremost channel of the body insert. This magnetic attraction ensures that the inner cap remains securely closed when the cap is in the closed position, thus providing a reliable closure mechanism for the box.

[0011] This cosmetic case is designed to ensure that the contents are stored securely and easily accessible when needed. The combination of a magnetic closure and a secure attachment mechanism provides a reliable and user-friendly storage solution for cosmetic pouches, making it ideal for both personal and professional use.
