  • Publication number: 20180008024
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of using the structure of an existing bag (or baby carrier) and attaching another bag (or baby carrier or other items) by means of an attachment point between the existing bag thus allowing another bag (or multiple bags) to be used without its strap or to be joined together as one bag. This allows multiple bags and items of various kinds to be attached to one another for any reason utilizing a peculiar clip and webbing system comprising an S-shaped clip which holds onto webbing, rests upon the webbing and accepts webbing, while also securing it, in order to support another item.

  • Publication number: 20180008026
    Abstract: A lipstick case may comprise an outer tube, a control unit, an axle tube, a pushing rod, a guiding tube and an inner tube. A housing space is formed inside the outer tube, and a lid is connected at a rear end of the outer tube after the components such as the control unit, axle tube, etc. are received inside the housing space. Also, the lid is engaged with the control unit, so that the pushing or pulling force can be solidly transferred from the outer tube through the lid to the control unit. The present invention is preferable that a user can control a lipstick core of the lipstick case to stick out or receive in the inner tube by simply pushing or pulling action. Also, a user has no need to worry about losing the lid of the lipstick case thereby improving the practicality.
