  • Patent number: 10070711
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cosmetic material compact container provided with a dome-shaped refill container cover coupled to a refill container, wherein the refill container cover has a dome shape to minimize the amount of cosmetic material evaporation. Also, a sealing protrusion is provided in all directions at the bottom end of the of the refill container cover to effectively seal a cosmetic material accommodating space in the refill container, thereby allowing the cosmetic material to function effectively for a long time. In addition, a stopper protrusion is formed on a hinge-coupling part on the refill container cover and a stopper hook is formed on a hinge-coupling part on the refill container so that east fixing and coupling is enabled without requiring connection by a hinge pin, thereby reducing the number of parts, and in turn, reducing manufacturing cost and man hours, and ultimately improving production quantity.

  • Patent number: 7673636
    Abstract: A loose powder container is provided. The powder container includes a cap and a receptacle for storing the loose powder. The cap includes a brush integrated into the cap. The cap also comprises two sections, such that, in an initial position an upper section is aligned with respect to a lower section of the cap. Clockwise rotation of the upper section in order to misalign it with the lower section of the cap, results in the brush protruding from the cap. The brush is completely protruded when the upper section of the cap is re-aligned with the lower section of the cap upon a 180 degree rotation in the clockwise direction. The fully protruded brush is twirled around to pick loose powder through a perforated layer comprised in the receptacle. The brush is retracted upon anti-clockwise rotation of the upper section, to align it in the initial position with the lower section.
