Abstract
A container assembly of a perfume bottle includes two oppositely and reversedly combined container bodies, two junction plates respectively mounted to the container bodies, and two caps respectively covered on the container bodies. The perfume bottles can be placed in the container bodies with their nozzles aligned to the nozzle holes of the container bodies. The two container bodies can be pushed to slide in reverse directions to expose their nozzle holes and the nozzles of the perfume bottles, thus, facilitating the perfume to be sprayed out of the saddle heads of the perfume bottles when the caps are pressed downwards. The container assembly for perfume bottles is designed to accommodate different perfume bottles therein, convenient in use and carry, quick to be opened and closed, and provided with a delicate and elegant appearance.
Description




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




1. Field of the Invention




This invention relates to a container of perfume bottles, particularly to one suitable to different perfume bottles to be inserted therein, convenient in use and carry, quick to be opened and closed, and provided with a delicate and elegant




2. Description of the Prior Art




Generally, a known conventional perfume bottle


1


has a nozzle


10


disposed on: the bottle body and a cap


11


covered thereon, as shown in FIG.


1


. In operation, the cap


11


is taken off, and then the nozzle


10


is pressed downwards to spray perfume from the bottle body. However, in practice the conventional perfume bottle


1


has the following disadvantages.




2. It is difficult to close the cap


11


tightly so that the perfume disposed in the bottle body is liable to leak out. This is very inconvenient in use.




2. The cap


11


has to be covered on the nozzle


10


exactly aligned to the bottle body; otherwise, the cap


11


is easy to escape from the bottle body, which is very inconvenient, in use.




3. The cap


11


and the bottle body are put together by combining two separate articles so that the cap


11


is easy to fall or lose. The perfume bottle


1


without the cap


11


is hard to be placed properly and is unable to stop the perfume to leak out or prevent the nozzle


10


from being polluted to influence the quality and the scent of the perfume.




SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION




The main purpose of the invention is to offer a container assembly of a perfume bottle suitable for different perfume bottles installed therein, convenient in use and carry, and quick to be opened and closed.




To achieve about object, the present invention provides a container assembly of a perfun


3


bottle includes two oppositely arranged container bodies, two junction plates respectively mounted to the container bodies, and two caps respectively covered on the container bodies. The perfume bottles can be placed in the container bodies with their nozzles aligned to the nozzle holes of the container bodies. The two container bodies can be pushed to slide in reverse directions to expose their nozzle holes and the nozzles of the perfume bottles, thus facilitating the perfume to be sprayed out of the saddle heads of the perfume bottles when the caps are pressed downwards. The container assembly for perfume bottles is designed to accommodate different perfume bottles therein, convenient in use and carry, quick to be opened and closed, and provided with a delicate and elegant appearance.

33


and the rectangular slide slot


42


and the engagement of the at least one engagement block


43


and the slide slot


32


, and the loose fit-in relationships of the slide block


35


and the slide groove


44


and of the ball

44


and the slide groove


34


. In such application, the nozzle holes


25


,


25


′ of the first and the second container bodies


2


,


2


′ and the nozzles


51


of the perfume bottles


5


can be exposed, thus facilitating the perfume to be sprayed out of one of the saddle heads


50


of the perfume bottles


5


when a related cap


6


is pressed downwards, as shown in FIG.


5


. When closing the container of she present invention, it is only necessary to push the first and the second container bodies


2


,


2


′ back to their initial positions.
