Description

Mask pack case

[0001] The present invention relates to a mask pack case that holds a plurality of mask packs, stores the mask packs in an unfolded state so that they are convenient to separate and retrieve one by one, and prevents the fabrics from getting tangled and leakage caused by shaking during storage.

[0002] Generally, mask packs are used to nourish the facial skin and cultivate elastic skin. They are impregnated with various nutrients to supply various nutrients to the skin, and are also impregnated with a beauty solution mixed with natural oils, lotions, etc., that helps with skin care.

[0003] Existing mask packs are provided with various packaging methods and cases, such as individual plastic packaging and cases for purchasing multiple packs.

[0004] Existing mass-produced mask packs are folded multiple times, which causes the inconvenience of unfolding and results in lifting due to the creases. Additionally, there is a risk of cross-contamination as the product must be handled multiple times during the unfolding process, and there are issues such as contamination of the surrounding area caused by the contents falling out during the unfolding process.

[0005] Therefore, the objective of the present invention is to provide a mask pack case in which multiple mask packs are stored in an unfolded state and can be conveniently used without the process of unfolding them.

[0006] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a mask pack case that minimizes the entanglement or folding of fabrics caused by shaking until all of the mask pack is used, by forming a plurality of protrusions protruding from the bottom surface of the case so that eye holes, nose holes, or mouth holes formed in the mask pack are inserted.

[0007] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a mask pack case that allows for travel and portable use by preventing leakage even without separate sealing packaging, enables product production in a general production process without dedicated production equipment for sealing as a separate sealing process is unnecessary, allows for material and production cost reduction as there is no sealing process, and reduces costs as the produced mask fabric can be stored in the case in an unfolded state, eliminating the need for folding.

[0008] To achieve the above objective, the mask pack case of the present invention comprises a main body portion in which a plurality of mask packs are stacked and embedded, a cover portion that is openably mounted on the main body portion and sealably covers the open upper surface of the main body portion, a hinge portion formed between the main body portion and the cover portion to openably connect the main body portion and the cover portion, and a locking portion formed between the main body portion and the cover portion to sealably lock the main body portion and the cover portion. The main body portion has a protrusion portion formed therein to insert the eye hole and mouth hole of the mask pack embedded in the main body portion to maintain the mask pack in an unfolded state and to prevent the mask packs from getting tangled or folded, and the cover portion has an insertion groove portion formed therein to insert the upper end of the protrusion portion to prevent the mask pack from detaching from the protrusion portion.

[0009] The above-mentioned protrusions include a first protrusion and a second protrusion into which the two eye holes of the mask pack are inserted, and a third protrusion into which the mouth hole of the mask pack is inserted, and are formed to protrude vertically from the bottom surface of the main body and can be molded integrally with the main body.

[0010] The above insertion groove includes a first insertion groove into which a first projection is inserted, a second insertion groove into which a second projection is inserted, and a third insertion groove into which a third projection is inserted, and can be integrally molded with the cover portion.

[0011] A silicone coating layer for sealing may be formed on the inner surface of the main body and the cover.

[0012] A flange portion extending outward is formed on the upper edge of the main body portion, and a concave groove portion with an open upper surface is formed on the flange portion; a convex portion is formed on the lower edge of the cover portion to be inserted into the concave groove portion; the locking portion is connected to the cover portion to enable bending movement, and may include a locking rod having a hook portion protruding inward and a handle portion protruding outward at its end, and a locking projection portion formed to protrude downward from the lower surface of the flange portion of the main body portion to engage with the hook portion.

[0013] As described above, the mask pack case of the present invention stores multiple mask packs in an unfolded state, making it convenient to use as there is no need for a separate unfolding process when using them.

[0014] In addition, by forming multiple protrusions on the bottom surface of the case so that eye holes or mouth holes formed in the mask pack can be inserted, the phenomenon of the fabrics getting tangled or folded due to shaking can be minimized until all of the mask pack is used.

[0015] In addition, the case itself is sealable, so leakage does not occur even without separate sealing packaging, making it suitable for travel and portable use. Since a separate sealing process is unnecessary, the product can be manufactured in a general production process without dedicated production equipment for sealing. The absence of a sealing process allows for material savings and reduced production costs. Furthermore, since the produced mask fabric can be stored in the case in an unfolded state, folding is unnecessary, which further reduces costs.

[0022] Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. In this process, the size or shape of components illustrated in the drawings may be exaggerated for clarity and convenience of explanation. Furthermore, terms specifically defined in consideration of the configuration and operation of the present invention may vary depending on the intent or convention of the user or operator. The definitions of such terms should be based on the content throughout this specification.

[0023] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a mask pack case with the lid portion opened according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a mask pack case with the lid portion closed according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a plan view of a mask pack case with the main body portion closed according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a mask pack case with the lid portion closed according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0024] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4, a mask pack case according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a main body (10) in which a plurality of mask packs are stacked and stored, a cover part (12) which is mounted to be openable and closable on the main body (10) and covers the open upper surface of the main body (10) and stores the mask packs stored in the main body (10) in a state that maintains moisture content, a hinge part (14) formed between the main body (10) and the cover part (12) so that the cover part (12) is connected to the main body (10) in an openable and closable manner, and a locking part (16) formed between the main body (10) and the cover part (12) so as to be sealable and locked between the main body (10) and the cover part (12).

[0025] The main body (10) is open on its upper surface and has a size that allows a mask pack to be stored in an unfolded state, and a silicone coating layer (not shown) may be formed on its inner surface to prevent leakage of the stored mask pack or drying out of moisture.

[0026] The cover portion (12) covers the open upper surface of the main body portion (10), and a coating layer (not shown) made of silicone material may be formed on its inner surface.

[0027] That is, a silicone coating layer is formed on the inner surface and the surface in contact with each other of the main body (10) and the cover (12) to perform the function of sealing the case, prevent leakage from the main body (10) to the outside, and also prevent the moisture of the mask pack from drying out.

[0028] The main body (10) has an eye hole, nose hole, and mouth hole for the mask pack inserted therein to maintain the mask pack in an unfolded state, and a protrusion is formed to prevent the individual mask packs from getting tangled or folded due to shaking of the case, etc.

[0029] For example, the protrusions are formed such that the first protrusion (20) and the second protrusion (22), into which the two eye holes of the mask pack are inserted, and the third protrusion (24), into which the mouth hole of the mask pack is inserted, protrude vertically from the bottom surface of the main body (10). At this time, the protrusions are formed integrally during the insert injection molding of the main body (10), so a separate process for forming the protrusions is unnecessary.

[0030] In the cover portion (12), an insertion groove is formed so as to protrude downward, into which the upper end of the projection is inserted. The insertion groove includes a first insertion groove (30) into which the first projection (20) is inserted, a second insertion groove (32) into which the second projection (22) is inserted, and a third insertion groove (34) into which the third projection (24) is inserted. Likewise, the insertion groove is also formed integrally during the molding of the cover portion (12), so a separate process for forming the insertion groove is not required.

[0031] When the cover part (12) is closed to the main body part (10), the insertion groove part is inserted into the upper part of the protrusion part, so that the upper part of the protrusion part is closed. Therefore, even if the case is shaken or turned upside down, the mask pack is not detached from the protrusion part, and thus, the mask packs embedded in multiple places can be prevented from being crumpled or bent.

[0032] And a plurality of pin portions (80) that support the upper surface of the mask pack are formed on the cover portion (12).

[0033] As shown in FIG. 5, a flange portion (40) extending outward is formed on the upper edge of the main body portion (10), and a concave groove portion (42) with an open upper surface is formed in the flange portion (40), and a convex portion (44) formed to protrude from the lower surface of the cover portion (12) is inserted into the concave groove portion (42) and sealed together.

[0034] That is, on the upper surface of the flange portion (40), a first contact surface portion (50) is formed on the inner upper surface of the concave groove portion (44), and a second contact surface portion (52) is formed on the outer upper surface of the concave groove portion (44); on the lower surface of the cover portion (12), a third contact surface portion (54) is formed on the inner side of the convex portion (44), and a fourth contact surface portion (56) is formed on the outer side of the convex portion (44).

[0035] When the convex portion (44) is inserted into the concave groove portion (42), the third contact portion (54) comes into mutual contact with the first contact portion (50), and the fourth contact portion (56) comes into mutual contact with the second contact portion (52), thereby sealing the space between the main body portion (10) and the cover portion (12). At this time, a silicone coating layer is formed on the first contact portion (50), the second contact portion (52), the third contact portion (54), and the fourth contact portion (56), so that when they are in close contact with each other, they can perform a sealing function.

[0036] The main body (10) and the cover (12) are square in shape, and a hinge part (14) is formed on one side, and a locking part (16) can be formed on at least one of the remaining three sides.

[0037] The locking part (16) is integrally formed with the cover part (12) and connected to the edge of the cover part (12) so as to allow for bending movement. It includes a locking rod (60) having a hook part (62) protruding inwardly at its end and a handle part (64) protruding outwardly so that a user can grasp it with their hand, and a locking projection part (66) formed to protrude downwardly on the lower surface of the flange part (40) of the main body part (10) so that the hook part (44) is caught thereon.

[0038] In the manufacturing process of the cover part (12), the locking rod (60) is formed integrally with the cover part (12), so a separate manufacturing process for forming the locking rod (60) is unnecessary.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 6, the hinge portion (14) includes a hinge projection (70) formed on one side of the main body portion (10) and a hinge groove portion (72) formed on one side of the cover portion (12) into which the hinge projection (70) is rotatably inserted. A stopper projection (74) is formed to protrude at a certain angle in the hinge groove portion (72) to limit the rotation angle of the hinge portion (14), and a stopper surface portion (76) is formed in the hinge projection (70) to contact one side of the stopper projection (74) and limit the opening angle of the cover portion (12).

[0040] That is, the opening angle (A) of the cover portion is limited so that it does not open more than 120 degrees. When the cover portion (12) opens to 120 degrees, the stopper projection (74) is caught on the stopper surface (76) to prevent the cover portion (12) from opening any further.

[0041] In this way, the opening angle of the lid is set to 120 degrees or less, thereby increasing the utilization of space on the vanity and ensuring that the opened state is maintained stably.

[0042] In this embodiment, the invention has been illustrated and described by way of specific preferred embodiments; however, the invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various changes and modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention.
