Patent number: 8985386Abstract: A plastic container having a container body and a permanently attached container lid is provided. The container lid is attached to the container body by a living hinge such that the entire plastic container is a one-piece construction. The container lid is pre-curved such that in an open state the container lid is curved. However, when the container lid mates with the container body in a closed state, at least a portion of the container lid that was previously curved becomes substantially planar such that portions of the lid remain biased into the container body. The container can also incorporate a carrying feature for receiving and positioning articles therein, as well as a sealing chamfer for reducing the likelihood of the ingress of foreign matter into an interior cavity of the container.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2014Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: Sussex IM, Inc.Inventor: Keith S.

However, when the container lid mates with the container body in a closed state, at least a portion of the container lid that was previously curved becomes substantially planar such that portions of the lid remain biased into the container body. The container incorporates at least one projection that acts as a detent-catch mechanism to secure the lid to the body. The projection reduces the likelihood that the seal formed between the lid and the container when in a closed position will be inadvertently broken.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2010Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: Sussex IM, Inc.Inventor: Keith S.

Patent number: 6199559Abstract: A container for storing makeup is disclosed. The container includes a cover having a first interface, the first interface having a first periphery. The container also includes a base for holding a cosmetic substance, the base having a second interface, the second interface having a second periphery corresponding to the first periphery. The container also includes a generally hermetic seal providing a channel associated with the first interface and a peripheral rim associated with the second interface. The container includes a discharge for reducing the air pressure integral with the first or the second interface. The first interface and the second interface provide a substantially hermetic seal when the cover is closed with respect to the base.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1999Date of Patent: March 13, 2001Assignee: Rexam Cosmetic Packaging, Inc.Inventors: Carol J.

Patent number: 5655553Abstract: A container such as a compact for removably holding a plurality of removable articles such as makeup pans is disclosed. The compact has a bottom portion including a platform equipped for removably holding the articles, a bottom wall having openings therein each of which is aligned with a respective article, and an article ejector disposed between the platform and the bottom wall. The ejector has a connecting member which communicates with buttons and locator members such as upstanding bosses, for aligning the respective buttons each with an underlying bottom wall opening and a removable article. When pressure is applied through an opening onto a button, the button moves and ejects the article from its holder means. The compact has a retaining receptacle which can be an inverted U-shaped channel cooperative with the locator members for retaining them and thereby retaining the ejector in its aligned operative position.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 1995Date of Patent: August 12, 1997Assignee: Mary Kay Inc.Inventors: Timothy L.
