    Abstract: A vanity case which comprises a case body having a cavity, a lid coupled to the back section of the case body, and a tray frame received in the cavity of the case body so as to be slidable forwards and backwards. The lid has an engaging hook piece in the front of its underside. The tray frame has an engaging protrusion and the tray frame is always biased backwards. When the lid is closed, the engaging hook piece of the lid engages with the engaging protrusion of the tray frame. A rear end wall is integrally formed on the rear end of the tray frame in the middle so as to straddle a back wall of the case body, and when the rear end wall is pushed toward the front, the tray frame is moved forwards, thereby releasing the engagement between the engaging protrusion and the engaging hook piece.

  • Publication number: 20070090106
    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.

  • Patent number: 6332682
    Abstract: Disclosed is an improved hinge structure for joining a temple and a front or lens rim together in eyeglasses. It comprises two semicolon-like rotary pieces each having a step-like circular extension integrally connected to its triangular block. The step-like circular extension has a through hole made therein. The semicolon-like rotary pieces are so combined that their step-like circular extensions are laid on each other, with a flat washer sandwiched therebetween. The semicolon-like rotary pieces are joined together by inserting a pivot pin in the through holes of the step-like extensions with another flat washer laid on one side of the so combined rotary pieces, and with the outward-curved resilient washer laid the other side of the so combined rotary pieces. The pivot pin is swaged against the so combined rotary pieces. The triangular blocks of the rotary pieces are to be fixed to the temple and the front or lens rim of the frame.
