Abstract: A cosmetic compact including a hinge, the hinge including a spine having at least two extensions and at least two protrusions extending from the at least two extensions; a base, the base including at least two receivers and at least one opening configured to receive at least one pan; and a cover, wherein the cover and the base are connected to one another via the hinge. The spine having (1) a locked position wherein the extensions are configured to wrap around the base and the at least two protrusions are configured to be removably locked into the at least two receivers thereby securing the at least one pan within the at least one opening, and (2) an unlocked position wherein the at least two protrusions are configured to be removed from the at least two receivers thereby providing access to the at least one opening.

Abstract: A cosmetic compact being incorporated with outer wrap material. The cosmetic compact including a cover, the cover including a frame and a top panel, the frame including four sidewalls; a cosmetic holder, the cosmetic holder including a platform and a bottom panel, the platform including four sidewalls, a hinge; and an outer wrap material, wherein the top panel, the bottom panel and the hinge are affixed to the outer wrap material in a first step and (1) the frame is fixedly secured the top panel and (2) the platform to be fixedly secured to the bottom panel in a second step thereby allowing the outer wrap material to be incorporated into the cosmetic compact.

Abstract: A method of making a polymer film having a surface with nanofibrils.

Abstract: A process for making an article having a structured surface. The process comprises providing a tool that comprises a negative of a desired structured surface, contacting the negative surface of the tool with a fluorochemical benzotriazole to form a coated surface thereon, contacting the coated tool to a resin to form the structured surface on the resin, and removing the resin from the tool to form an article having a surface having the desired positive structured surface.
