  • Patent number: 6827213
    Abstract: A cosmetic container (10) comprises a housing assembly (1, 3, 4, 7, 9) with an annular projection (8) and a cap assembly (11, 12) with an inner cap member (12) engageable with the annular projection. The inner cap member has a wall portion (15) between upper and lower annular external swells (16, 17), which is deformed to provide air-tight engagement with the annular projection in a capped condition. The lower swell (16) comprises a plurality of spaced segmental annular projections (161) formed substantially around the outer surface of the inner cap member and one or more of dotty projections (162) positioned substantially within each space between adjacent two of the segmental annular projections. The lower swell acts as a first stopper for preventing removal of the cap assembly from the housing assembly, whereas the upper swell acts as a second stopper for preventing excessive insertion of the housing assembly into the cap assembly.

  • Patent number: 6070725
    Abstract: A cosmetic container (10) comprises a housing assembly (1, 3, 4, 7, 9) with an annular projection (8) and a cap assembly (11, 12) with an inner cap member (12) engageable with the annular projection. The inner cap member has a thin wall portion (15) defined between a pair of upper and lower annular external swells (16, 17), which is deformed to provide air-tight engagement with the annular projection in a capped condition. The lower swell (16) acts as a first stopper against removal of the cap assembly from the housing assembly, whereas the upper swell (17) acts as a second stopper against excessive insertion of the housing assembly into the cap assembly.

  • Patent number: 5873667
    Abstract: In a cosmetic container an outer body portion surrounds a main body portion and is rotatable with respect thereto. Rotation of the main body moves a cosmetic holder up and down within the main body. An insert sleeve is fixedly secured to the outer body and surrounds the main body. The upper portion of the outer body is formed to provide an integral active portion positioned between the main body and the insert sleeve with gaps therebetween. The active portion of the outer body is provided with an inwardly projecting circular rib at an intermediate portion thereof which rotatably contacts the outer peripheral surface of the main body. The opposite end of the active portion of the main body elastically engages with the inner peripheral portion of the insert sleeve. Thus, the active portion of the outer body will act as a spring and can be deformed appropriately within the space between the main body and the insert sleeve.

  • Patent number: 5749664
    Abstract: An outer body surrounds a main body and is rotatable with respect to the main body to move up and down a cosmetic holder received in the main body. An insert sleeve is coupled integrally to the upper end portion of the outer body, by welding, integral-forming or any other suitable coupling device. The main body has an annular projection on its outer peripheral surface, which rotatably and elastically contacts with a lower portion of the insert sleeve. In an embodiment, the insert sleeve has a downwardly extending tongue which may be deformed elastically and contact with the projection of the main body. The projection is spaced apart from the outer body.

  • Patent number: 5597252
    Abstract: An outer body surrounds a main body and is rotatable with respect to the main body to move up and down a cosmetic holder received in the main body. A casing surrounds the outer body and is rotatable simultaneously with the outer body. The bottom end of the main body is enlarged to form a circumferentially outward projecting bottom extension to be engaged within an annular recess formed cooperatively by the lower end portions of the outer body and the casing. The bottom extension preferably comprises a cylindrical wall portion and an enlarged bead portion formed in the middle of the cylindrical wall portion and projecting outwardly therefrom.

  • Patent number: 5348410
    Abstract: A cylindrical cosmetic container includes an inner tubular member (1) formed with axially extending slots (2); an outer tubular member (7) formed with a spiral groove (9) and rotatably fitted to an outer circumferential surface of the inner tubular member; and a movable cup member (11) for mounting thereon a cylindrical cosmetic (15) to be accommodated within the inner tubular member, and the movable cup member having projection pins (13) attached on an outer circumferential surface thereof and engaged with the spiral groove of the outer tubular member through the slots of the inner tubular member. The inner tubular member (1) is formed with a bridge portion (101) at a base end portion thereof; and the bridge portion is further formed with a projection portion (103) which is brought into elastic contact with the base end portion of the outer tubular member.
