  • Patent number: 7870862
    Abstract: A vanity case in which a lid is coupled to part of peripheral walls of its case body pivotably and a slide piece is slidably mounted in the case body such that when the slide piece is at a first position, the lid is closed against the case body and that when the slide piece has moved from the first position to a second position, the lid is open relative to the case body. Formed through adjacent part of a bottom wall of the case body to one of the peripheral walls is a slit extending along the peripheral wall such that the peripheral wall adjacent to the slit bends inwards when an inward external force is exerted on the peripheral wall, and the deformation of the peripheral wall acts as an external force on the slide piece to make the slide piece move to the second position.

  • Patent number: 7753228
    Abstract: A case body is provided with a cover which opens from and closes against the case body. The cover includes a hinge boss rotatably attached to the case body through a hinge pin. On the opposite side of the hinge pin is provided a hook mechanism with which the cover is engaged with the case body to form a closed state. A pressure member contacts and presses to the hinge boss to reduce the rotation speed of the hinge boss. A radius reduction portion is formed so that the outer dimension of the hinge boss is reduced gradually as the cover is getting closer to its full-opened position in order to weaken a frictional contact function with the pressure member.

  • Patent number: 7703627
    Abstract: A vanity case which comprises a case body having a cavity, a lid coupled to the back section of the case body, an inner plate received in the cavity, and a slide piece housed in between the case body and the inner plate. The lid has an engaging claw piece formed hanging down on the front of its underside; the slide piece has an engaging arm protruding above and is always biased backwards. When the lid is closed, the engaging claw piece engages the engaging arm. A rear end wall in the rear of the case body is formed to be elastically deformable toward the front, and when the rear end wall is pushed toward the front, the slide piece whose rear end is opposite the rear end wall is moved forwards, thereby releasing the engagement between the engaging arm and the engaging claw piece and opening the lid.

  • Publication number: 20070215494
    Abstract: [Object] To provide a cosmetic container with a cover adapted to rotate on a gentle pace, in which it is realized to improve operability for opening and closing the cover with use of a hook mechanism. [Solution] A case body 2 is provided with a cover 9 which opens from and closes against the case body 2. The cover 9 includes a hinge boss 12 rotatably attached to the case body 2 through a hinge pin 13. On the opposite side of the hinge pin 13 is provided a hook mechanism 7 with which the cover 9 is engaged with the case body 2 to form a closed state. The case body 2 is further provided with a pressure member 27 which contacts and presses to the hinge boss 12 to reduce the rotation speed of the hinge boss 12. The hinge boss 12 is provided with a radius reduction portion 31 which is formed by that the outer dimension of the hinge boss 12 is reduced gradually as the cover is getting closer to its full-opened position in order to weaken a frictional contact function with the pressure member 27.
