  • Patent number: 6336460
    Abstract: A sealable container comprised of a container body to which an internal hinged lid is installed as means of sealing or exposing an internally located substance-containing space, and a separate external cover that screws onto the container body. When attached, the external cover presses downward onto the internal lid to seal the lid against the substance-containing space. A hinge mechanism, consisting of a hinge pin and specific hinge boss design, is located between the container body and internal lid. The hinge boss incorporates a yoke with an elongated channel able to grip the hinge pin while also sliding along the hinge pin in a linear direction as the internal lid moves downward against the substance-containing space.

  • Patent number: 6283129
    Abstract: A cosmetic case includes a push piece integrally formed to a tray in order to reduce a number of parts and to simplify the assembly thereof. The tray 14 for containing a cosmetic material P is received within a storage cavity 12c of a case body 12. The tray 14 and a cover 16 are pivotably joined with a rear extremity of the case body 12 by means of a single hinge 24. A hook mechanism 26 comprises a first latch 26a provided on the case body 12 and a second latch 26b provided on the cover 16. A push piece 30 for releasing the engagement of the hook mechanism 26 is integrally formed on the peripheral wall 14b of the tray 14, and has a pair of cantilever arms 30a and 30b, and a push button 30c. Each arm 30a and 30b has elasticity by itself and the push button 30c is integrally formed between a pair of the arms 30a and 30b to be movable by bending deformation of the arms 30a and 30b. The push button 30c of the push piece 30 is disposed within a recess 28 of the case body 12, and projects outside.
