Abstract
Description
DESCRIPTIONTITLE OF INVENTION: [A COSMETIC CONTAINER]TECHNICAL FIELDThe present disclosure generally relates to the field of cosmetics and specifically relates to a cosmetic container.BACKGROUND
[0001] The following discussion of the background to the invention is intended to facilitate an understanding of the present invention only. It should be appreciated that the discussion is not an acknowledgement or admission that any of the material referred to was published, known or part of the common general knowledge of the person skilled in the art in any jurisdiction as at the priority date of the invention.
[0002] In the field of color cosmetics, highlighting powder is a finely milled powder that is typically applied after all base makeup has been completed. Depending on the desired effect, it is evenly distributed over various areas of the body, such as the face or shoulders. Common application zones include the brow bone, under-eye area, bridge of the nose, chin, shoulders, and even the calves. Highlighting powder serves multiple cosmetic functions, including brightening the skin tone, enhancing facial contours, concealing minor blemishes, and imparting a refined, radiant finish to the skin. Its ability to subtly reflect light makes it a popular product for achieving a luminous, dimensional makeup look.
[0003] Conventional cosmetic containers available in the market primarily comprises a bottle body and a detachable cap. During use, consumers are required to open the cap and manually retrieve a powder puff or brush for application. This method of use is not only cumbersome but also less hygienic, as it often exposes the internal product to environmental factors (e.g., moisture in the air). Moreover, such cosmetic containers are generally not well constructed for storing and dispensing loose powders or small particulate cosmetic materials like highlighting powder. The lack of an integrated and user-friendly dispensing mechanism can result in uneven application, product wastage, or reduced effectiveness.
[0004] Thus, there exists a need to develop an improved cosmetic container structure that facilitates convenient application while maintaining product integrity and storage stability, especially for formulations involving fine powders such as highlighting powder.SUMMARY

[0045] EMBODIMENT 1
[0046] As illustrated in FIGs. 1 and 2, a cosmetic container comprises a top cover (1 ), a connecting member (2), a cosmetic puff head (3), a flow guide (4), a bottom case (5), and an inner cap (6). The cosmetic container as a whole is flat in shape.
[0047] As shown in FIGs. 2 to 5, the top cover (1 ) is fitted onto an opening of the connecting member (2). The top cover (1 ) is flat in form (e.g., the top cover (1) is configured to be generally flat in shape), and its inner wall is symmetrically provided withtwo first grooves (1 1 ) (more specifically, the two first grooves (1 1 ) are provided on opposite sides of the planar inner surface of the flat top cover (1 )). The outer wall of the connecting member (2) is symmetrically provided with two first protrusions (21 ) that correspond to and engage with the first grooves (11 ), allowing the top cover (1) to be easily mounted onto the connecting member (2). This structure helps prevent the cosmetic puff head (3) inside the container from becoming contaminated when the top cover (1 ) is placed onto the cosmetic puff head (3).
[0048] As shown in FIGs. 6 to 8, the flow guide (4) is fixed on the connecting member (2), and the cosmetic puff head (3) is also fixed on the connecting member (2) and wraps around the flow guide (4). The flow guide (4) is provided with several through holes (41 ), and further comprises an integrated connecting portion (42) and an extension plate (43). Two protrusions (44) are symmetrically arranged on the connecting portion (42). The cosmetic puff head (3) is fixed to the connecting portion (42) via the protrusions (44) and is sleeved onto the extension plate (43), which stabilizes the puff head (3) and prevents it from wobbling. The cosmetic puff head (3) is hollow inside, and the extension plate (43) divides its interior into two inner chambers (31 ). The through holes (41 ) are symmetrically distributed on the connecting portion (42) on both sides of the extension plate (43), with each set of through holes (41 ) connecting the corresponding inner chamber (31 ) on the same side to the bottom case (5). This allows the highlighting powder to flow from the bottom case (5) through the through holes (41 ) into the respective inner chambers (31 ) on both sides, making it more convenient to use.
[0049] As illustrated in FIGs. 2, 5, 9, and 10, the connecting member (2) is fixedly sleeved onto the opening of the bottom case (5). The bottom case (5) is flat in shape, with its outer wall symmetrically provided with two second grooves (51) (more specifically, the two second grooves (51 ) are formed on opposite sides of the planar outer surface of the flat bottom case (5)), while the inner wall of the connecting member (2) is symmetrically provided with two second protrusions (22), which are configured to engage with the second grooves (51 ). The inner cap (6) is fixed inside the top cover (1 ), and the outer wall of the inner cap (6) fits closely against the inner wall of the top cover (1), preventing direct contact between the cosmetic puff head (3) and the top cover (1 ).
[0050] The cosmetic container can be used simply by opening the top cover (1), offering great convenience. During use, the highlighting powder travels from the bottomcase (5) through the through holes (41 ) to the cosmetic puff head (3), where it adheres to the surface of the puff head (3). When the cosmetic puff head (3) is gently tapped against the face or other areas, the skin receives a natural highlighting effect. The powder can be evenly applied by the cosmetic puff head (3), producing smooth, natural makeup with good adherence. Once the top cover (1 ) is closed, the dual protection provided by the inner cap (6) and the through holes (41 ) helps prevent the highlighting powder stored in the bottom case (5) from being affected by external acidic or alkaline environments, thereby prolonging its shelf life and preserving its quality.
[0051] EMBODIMENT 2
[0052] Unlike Embodiment 1 , and referring to FIGs. 4, 5, 7, and 1 1 to 14, the cosmetic container in the present embodiment features a cosmetic puff head (3) with a first side (33) that is closed and a second side (34) provided with at least one powder-dispensing hole (32) penetrating the surface of the cosmetic puff head (3). When the powder inside the cosmetic puff head (3) is subjected to pressure (e g., when the user taps or presses the puff head (3) during makeup application, causing the internal powder to compress), the powder is discharged through the powder-dispensing hole (32) in the form of visible particles. That is to say, compared with traditional cosmetic puff heads (3) that dispense powder through micron-scale fiber pores in the fabric wrapped around the puff surface, the present application provides a design featuring powder-dispensing holes (32) with significantly larger apertures. These holes (32) are deliberately formed openings, distinct from the inherent fiber pores of the puff material, and are dimensioned to allow the highlighting powder particles to pass through in aggregated form.
[0053] By utilizing a single-sided powder-dispensing hole (32) design on the cosmetic puff head (3), the highlighting powder (or powder) is discharged directionally and concentratedly from one side, enhancing application precision and effectiveness while avoiding the waste typically associated with traditional double-sided dispensing designs. Moreover, the large-aperture structure in this design effectively reduces the risk of clogging caused by sweat, sebum, or impurities, thereby ensuring stable powder output even during long-term use.
[0054] In some embodiments, the cosmetic puff head (3) includes a plastic layer and bristles disposed on the outer surface of the plastic layer. In other words, the cosmetic puff head (3) adopts a double-layer structure in which the inner layer is formed frominjection-molded plastic, and the outer surface is flocked. The highlighting powder is configured to be dispensed only from one specific side of the plastic layer: i.e., the side corresponding to the second side (34) of the cosmetic puff head (3), where the powderdispensing holes (32) are located.
[0055] In some embodiments, at least one hollow hole is provided on the extension plate (43) to connect the two inner chambers (31 ) inside the cosmetic puff head (3). During the powder-dispensing process, powder stored in the inner chamber (31 ) corresponding to the powder-dispensing hole (32) is preferentially and directionally discharged through the powder-dispensing hole (32). As the powder in that inner chamber (31 ) decreases, powder from the other inner chamber (31 ) is gradually and directionally replenished into it via the hollow hole on the extension plate (43), thereby limiting the powder-dispensing rate. This prevents an excessive amount of powder from accumulating in the inner chamber (31) and avoids uncontrolled powder release. In other words, by regulating the volume and flow direction of the powder, this configuration provides a directional and stable dispensing mechanism with controllable dispensing speed for the cosmetic puff head (3).
[0056] As illustrated in FIG. 12a and 12b, in some embodiments, the upper surface of the connecting member (2) is provided with a slot (23), and the inner cap (6) is provided with a latch block (61 ) that engages with the slot (23). The latch block (61 ) refers to a structural projection formed on the inner cap (6), designed to engage with the slot (23) on the connecting member (2) to achieve a mechanical locking when the top cover (1 ) is closed. Specifically, in some embodiments, the latch block (61 ) is configured to be positioned at the edge of the bottom portion of the inner cap (6), and a receiving space (7) with a discharge opening (71 ) is formed between the latch block (61 ) and the inner wall of the top cover (1 ), wherein the discharge opening (71 ) is configured to allow residual powder accumulated in the receiving space (7) to fall out when the top cover (1 ) is removed, thereby exposing the discharge opening (71 ).. In some embodiments, the latch block (61 ) and the inner cap (6) may be integrally formed as a single component.
[0057] In some embodiments, as illustrated in FIGs 12a and 12b, the latch block (61 ) is provided with a first inclined surface (62) on the side near the central axis of the cosmetic container, and a second inclined surface (63) on the side away from the central axis. The angle between the first inclined surface (62) and the horizontal plane is greaterthan the angle between the second inclined surface (63) and the horizontal plane. When the top cover (1) is closed onto the connecting member (2), the latch block (61 ) enters the slot (23) and squeezes out the residual powder in the slot (23) along the more gently sloped second inclined surface (63), allowing the powder to be stored in the receiving space (7). The powder collected in the receiving space (7) can partially fill the gap between the inner cap (6) and / or the top cover (1 ) and the connecting member (2), thereby enhancing the sealing effect and isolating the internal components from external air and moisture. If air inadvertently enters the receiving space (7) and the powder absorbs moisture and forms clumps, those clumps can further contribute to sealing performance by blocking the gap. This helps to maintain the quality of the highlighting powder both within the cosmetic puff head (3) and inside the bottom case (5). When the user opens the top cover (1 ) for subsequent use, any potentially contaminated powder or clumped material in the receiving space (7) can be removed or dislodged and fall out during the opening motion (e.g., shaken loose while opening the top cover (1 )).
[0058] In some embodiments, a third inclined surface (64) is provided at the bottom of the slot (23), corresponding to the second inclined surface (63), such that the second inclined surface (63) and the third inclined surface (64) are cooperatively configured to form a channel (65) for guiding residual powder out of the slot (23) and into the receiving space (7). In some embodiments, the second inclined surface (63) and the third inclined surface (64) are arranged in parallel, thereby defining a tunnel-like channel between them, allowing residual powder to be effectively displaced and directed into the receiving space (7) when the latch block (61 ) moves into the slot (23), accordingly reducing the likelihood of powder accumulation inside the slot (23) that may otherwise obstruct the proper and secure insertion of the latch block (61 ).
[0059] In some embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 12b, the cross-sectional shape of the slot (23) is an irregular V-shape (or a semi-V shape configuration). For example, the bottom forms a pointed tip or a flatted tip; the side closer to the central axis of the cosmetic container is perpendicular to the horizontal plane (90 degree), while the side farther from the central axis forms a 45-degree angle with the horizontal plane. In other words, the angle between the first inclined surface (62) and a horizontal plane is configured to be greater than an angle between the second inclined surface (63) and the horizontal plane. This configuration could facilitate the smooth extrusion of powder from the slot (23) through the second inclined surface (63) (more specifically, the channel (65) formed bythe second inclined surface (63) and the corresponding third inclined surface (64), preventing powder accumulation at the bottom that could interfere with the engagement of the inner cap (6).
[0060] In some embodiments, the latch block (61 ) is made of a flexible or elastic material (such as rubber) operable to be squeezed into the slot (23). If powder remains at the bottom of the slot (23) and cannot be fully discharged along the second inclined surface (63), the flexible / elastic latch block (61 ) can undergo slight deformation to conform to the shape of the slot (23), thereby maintaining a sealing effect.
[0061] In some embodiments, the bottom of the connecting member (2) is provided with a third groove (24). When the connecting member (2) engages with the second groove (51 ) of the bottom case (5) via the second protrusion (22), the top opening of the bottom case (5) enters the third groove (24) and further interlocks with the connecting member (2), thereby enhancing the overall connection strength.
[0062] In summary, the cosmetic container having the above-described structure achieves a balance between efficient powder application and container sealing through the combination of a directional, anti-clogging dispensing structure and a residual powder recovery structure. While ensuring effective sealing, the design also improves user convenience during use.
[0063] The cosmetic container of the present invention enables immediate use simply by opening the top cover (1 ), thereby enhancing user convenience. During application, the highlighting powder is transferred from the bottom case (5) to the cosmetic puff head (3) via the through holes (41 ) of the flow guide (4), where it adheres to the surface of the puff head (3). When the puff head (3) is gently tapped against the user’s face or other target areas, the powder delivers a natural highlighting effect. The cosmetic puff head (3) allows for smooth and even application, resulting in natural-looking makeup with a silky texture and strong adherence. Once the top cover (1) is closed, the dual protection provided by the inner cap (6) and the through holes (41) helps shield the highlighting powder stored in the bottom case (5) from external acidic or alkaline environments, thereby extending the product’s shelf life and maintaining its quality over time.
[0064] Furthermore, the present application provides a cosmetic container capable of directing the discharge of highlighting powder in a controlled manner while also achievingeffective anti-clogging performance. The cosmetic container can further be equipped with a residual powder recovery structure, thereby achieving a balance between application efficiency and sealing reliability. Specifically, the cosmetic puff head (3) adopts a singlesided powder-dispensing hole (32) design, which allows the highlighting powder to be released in a concentrated manner from one side. This configuration enables more precise and targeted application while minimizing product waste typically associated with conventional double-sided powder-dispensing puff heads, for example, where highlighting powder may be unintentionally discharged from the side not in contact with the skin during use. Unlike traditional puff heads that rely on micron-scale fiber pores in fabric to release powder, the present design utilizes a large-aperture structure, which significantly reduces the risk of clogging caused by sweat, oil, or impurities. As a result, stable and consistent powder-dispensing performance is maintained over prolonged use.
[0065] During the dispensing process, the powder stored in the inner chamber (31 ) corresponding to the powder-dispensing hole (32) is discharged first in a directional manner. As the powder in this inner chamber (31) becomes depleted, powder from the other inner chamber (31 ) gradually and directionally replenishes it through the hollow hole provided on the extension plate (43), thereby regulating the dispensing rate and ensuring sustained output.
[0066] In addition, residual powder generated during use and entering the slot (23) can be collected and stored in the receiving space (7) via the steeply inclined second inclined surface (63) as the top cover (1 ) is closed. The powder stored in the receiving space (7) can partially fill the gap between the inner cap (6) and / or the top cover (1 ) and the connecting member (2), thereby enhancing the sealing effect and preventing external air and moisture from infiltrating the container. This configuration helps preserve the quality of both the highlighting powder adhered to the cosmetic puff head (3) and the powder stored inside the bottom case (5). Upon reopening the top cover (1 ), any potentially contaminated or moisture-absorbed and clumped powder stored in the receiving space (7) may be removed or fall out, thereby maintaining product hygiene and integrity for subsequent use.
[0067] It should be further appreciated by the person skilled in the art that variations and combinations of features described above, not being alternatives or substitutes, may be combined to form yet further embodiments falling within the intended scope of theinvention. As would be understood by a person skilled in the art, each embodiment, may be used in combination with other embodiment or several embodiments.
