    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a safety cover for the hands or feet of a baby to prevent them scratching themselves and which can be applied and removed easily. The safety cover comprises an elongated elastic cuff ring with a plurality of separate gripping elements arranged on its interior surface such that they span a majority of the length of the inner surface. This design allows the elongated cuff to simply be folded back on itself to disengage the gripping elements from skin contact. When folded, the safety cover can be applied or removed with no effort, and the structure of the cuff ring also causes it to maintain an elastic tension about the wrist or ankle of a child while folded to facilitate use as a normal glove, mitten or sock.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a refillable cosmetic container configured such that a refillable inner container filled on the inside with cosmetic material is removably inserted inside an outer container and can be replaced with a new container when all of the cosmetic material has been used. The inner container can be replaced after being easily removed from the outer container by switching to an unlocked state by turning a container support counterclockwise a certain angle, for example, 90°. Since the outer container can be continuously reused by discarding only the inner container having a simple structure, it is possible to decrease environmental pollution and significantly reduce the cost of manufacturing the cosmetic container.
