Rotating Cosmetic Container with Latching Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cosmetic compact containers are inconvenient as they require users to wash and waste cosmetic material on their hands, and inefficiently utilize space due to design flaws in rotating mechanisms and empty spaces formed between container bodies and lids.
Innovation Solution
A compact container with a rotating contents container design featuring a button frame, support, and rotation frame with latching protrusions that automatically rotate the contents container by a predetermined angle, coupled with grips and partitioned spaces to prevent empty spaces and efficiently use inner space, allowing for easy access and use of different cosmetic materials.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the support is lifted up to rotate the contents container, then the gel foundation remaining in the lower portion can be accessed, but the rotation frame requires manual manipulation which reduces convenience
Solution Approach 1:
The rotation frame is designed to automatically rotate to a predetermined angle when the support is lifted up, eliminating the need for manual manipulation. The first and second latching protrusions engage with each other during the lifting motion, causing the rotation frame to self-rotate and position the gel foundation for access without user intervention
Solution Approach 2:
The latching protrusions are pre-positioned on the button frame and rotation frame respectively, so that when the support is lifted, the engagement of these protrusions automatically triggers the rotation of the rotation frame to the correct position before the user needs to access the gel foundation
2Volume of stationary object
If grips are inserted through the container body to prevent empty spaces, then space utilization is improved, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The grips are integrated with the first and second contents lids, forming a unified structure. The insertion holes and through holes in the container body and button frame are aligned to guide the grips, merging the gripping function with the lid structure and eliminating the need for separate gripping mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The grips serve multiple functions: they provide gripping points for the contents lids, prevent empty spaces between the container body and lids, and are guided through aligned holes in the container body and button frame, combining several structural requirements into a single integrated feature

AI summary
The present invention relates to a compact container having a rotating contents container, in which a button frame integrally formed thereon with a button is coupled to the inside of a container body, a support is hinged to the inside of the container body, a rotation frame is rotatably coupled to the inside of the support, a contents container accommodating an impregnation member is fixedly coupled to the inside of the rotation frame, wherein first and second latching protrusions are formed on the button frame and the rotation frame, respectively, to be latched to each other, thus the second latching protrusion of the rotation frame is latched to the first latching protrusion of the button frame when lifting the support from the container body to rotate the contents container, such that the rotation frame is automatically rotated at a predetermined angle, thereby improving the convenience of use.
