Patent Application
20200054111
The present invention relates to a cover and more particularly to a cover for cosmetics.
Nowadays, the cover for cosmetics in the market such as the container of lipstick, facial cream, lotion, or palette is made of plastic. Usually, the plastic cover for cosmetics is painted or designed in overall appearance to enhance the value of cosmetics. However, the cosmetic with plastic cover still looks cheap for most of consumers, and the rigid material like plastic is easy to be damaged and cracked when carried. Also, the plastic cosmetic cover is more likely to cause environmental pollution. Therefore, there remains a need for a new and improved design for a cover for cosmetics to overcome the problems presented above.
The present invention provides a cover for cosmetics which comprises a main body having an outer surface at an outer periphery thereof, and the outer surface is covered by a cork layer which is made of compacted cork.
In one embodiment, the main body is a container for a lipstick, a lip cream, or a lip gloss; the main body comprises a base and a first upper cover which are configured to fit together, and the cork layer is configured to cover the outer surfaces of the base and the first upper cover through the mold extrusion process.
In another embodiment, the main body is a container for a facial cream or a lotion, and the cork layer is adhered to and covers the outer surface of a second upper cover of the main body through the mold extrusion process.
In still another embodiment, the main body is a palette which has a plate and a lid, and the cork layer is adhered to and covers the outer surfaces of the plate and the lid through the mold extrusion process, and an inner surface of the lid comprises a mirror.
In a further embodiment, the outer surface of the main body comprises at least a locating groove, and when the cork layer is adhered to and covers the outer surface of the main body through the mold extrusion process, an inner surface of the cork layer is squeezed into the locating groove to form an engaging rib.
In still a further embodiment, the cork layer is adhered to and covers the outer surface of the main body through a sheet winding way.
Comparing with conventional cover for cosmetics, the present invention is advantageous because: (i) the outer surface of the main body is covered by the cork layer, which enables the main body to have high-quality appearance; (ii) the cork layer can protect the main body and achieve the effect of environmental protection; and (iii) when the main body is carried by a bag, the cork layer can prevent damages or scratches on the main body and a lining of the bag due to rubbing against each other.
