  • Patent number: 6889696
    Abstract: A cosmetic container with spring-biased mirror is provided. The cosmetic container has a lower compartment containing a mirror frame and mirror concealed within. The mirror frame is held in place against the force of the spring by a first flexible hinge which abuts a sidewall of the lower compartment. When the user desires to access the mirror, they press downwards upon a second flexible hinge in the tray of the container which holds the cosmetic. The flexible hinge in the tray is in relationship with the flexible hinge in the mirror frame. Thus, a downwards force applied to the flexible hinge in the tray transmits the downward force to the flexible hinge in the mirror frame. This force disengages the flexible hinge in the mirror frame from the sidewall of the lower compartment, thus permitting the spring to urge the mirror frame and mirror from their concealed position to their exposed position where the mirror is available for use.
