  • Patent number: 9386836
    Abstract: Provided is a cosmetic case having a sealing function which prevents a gap from being formed between a main body and a cover, thus preventing cosmetics from being contaminated during a process of distribution. In the cosmetic case, a suction member can be reliably attached to the main body by suction force so that a gap is prevented from being formed therebetween. Therefore, cosmetics contained in the main body can be prevented from being contaminated during a process of distribution, and the weight of cosmetics can be maintained. Furthermore, when the user presses a button member, a cover opens and, simultaneously, the suction force of the suction member is removed, thus allowing the user to easily open the cover and suction cover unit.

  • Patent number: 9390570
    Abstract: A virtual touch-control lock includes a processing module electrically connected to a latch device. A storage module, at least one image pick up device, and an input platform including a transparent or non-transparent non-touch-control screen are electrically connected to the processing module. The input platform is configured to permit a user to proceed with handwriting on the input platform and/or touching the input platform. The at least one image pick up device picks up a handwriting trace of the handwriting and/or the touching sequence. The handwriting trace and/or the touching sequence is transmitted to the processing module and is compared with authorized door-opening identification information stored in the storage module. The identification result is used to control movement of a latch of the latch device from the latching position to the unlatching position or to permit the latch to move from the latching position to the unlatching position.
