Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(a) Field of the Invention

The present invention provides a cylinder-type cosmetic container, and more particularly provides an improved cylinder-type cosmetic container structure which enhances steadiness and firmness when pulling out the drawers of the cosmetic container.

(b) Description of the Prior Art

The procedure for putting on make-up includes first applying a skin care product and then a foundation make-up, compact powder and honey powder, after which color make-up is applied. Moreover, because color depth of the skin of each person is different, in addition to some people requiring the application of melanin spot covering cream to cover up melanin spots on the facial skin, thus, the make-up procedure further includes the even application of an appropriate foundation make-up color to enable the skin to present a smooth, lustrous visual effect. The final color make-up portion can be roughly divided into eye shadow and blusher, which are applied to the eyelids and cheeks respectively, thereby providing a more three-dimensional effect to the face. Because color make-up is separated into cool colors and warm colors according to the four seasons of spring, summer, fall and winter, as well as there being powder and lustrous color make-up according to what is popular at the time, thus, not only has this resulted in many different color shades of eye shadow and blusher color, moreover, they are separated into powder form and cream form, and the same color make-up is also separated into different color depth. In fact, it is impossible for the user to have prepared at the same time many different colored eye shadow and blusher, and frequently uses a make-up brush to blend more than two make-up colors and create the most suitable color tone. In particular, many people like to adopt the same color system for the eye shadow portion and apply eye shadow of different color depth in layers on the eyelids, thereby conceiving a simple hazy effect, which is a most safe and simple technique to prevent mismatching and overreaching oneself.

However, because conventional cosmetic containers only provide for holding multiple colors of eye shadow, blusher and compact powder, while some will come with lipstick, but lack an implement tray to enable the user mix make-up colors by themselves, and are often limited to only a few make-up colors contained within the cosmetic container, resulting in the user being unable to mix a color shade which is more suitable to themselves. Moreover, when pulling out the drawers of cosmetic containers of the prior art, it is extremely easy for the drawers to sway and move unsteadily because of the block portions being at the rear of the drawers, causing irritation in use.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Hence, in light of the shortcomings of the aforementioned prior art, the inventor of the present invention, has designed a new improved structure for a cylinder-type cosmetic container as disclosed in the present invention which enables the drawers to move more steadily and firmly, and prevents swaying thereof when pulling out the drawers of the cosmetic container.

A primary objective of the present invention lies in: A cylinder-type cosmetic container structured from an upper case, a lower case, upper drawers, lower drawers and a cover, the cover covering one side of the upper and lower cases. The upper case retains an upper inner housing, and lower two sides extending from the upper inner housing are respectively provided with a stop strip, and at least one slide groove is provided distant from end areas of the stop strips. Protruding portions on two sides at a tail end of each of the upper drawers insert into the slide grooves. Moreover, the lower case retains a lower inner housing, and lower two sides extending from the lower inner housing are respectively provided with a stop strip, and at least one slide groove is provided distant from end areas of the stop strips. Protruding portions on two sides at a tail end of each of the lower drawers insert into the slide grooves. Accordingly, the protruding portions on the two sides at the tail end of the drawers enable the drawers to move more steadily and firmly, and prevent swaying thereof when pulling out the drawers. Furthermore, there is a specific width between the slide grooves and the stop strips, and the widths are sufficient to ensure the drawers remain steady and do not sway when in use.
