DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the direction from a connecting portion 21 to a covering portion 23 in FIG. 3 is the front-rear direction, and the longer end of a holder 1 is in the left-right direction. The terms “upper”, “lower”, “left”, “right”, “front”, “rear”, “inside”, “around”, etc. indicating orientations or positional relationships are merely used for the purpose of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicate or imply that the indicated assembly or element must have a particular orientation or be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and are thus not to be understood as limiting the present utility model.

As shown in FIGS. 1-4, an environmentally friendly cosmetic case comprises a holder 1 and a case cover 2 for covering the holder 1, wherein the case cover 2 and the holder 1 are made of a wood material or a bamboo material such that the cosmetic case is more environmentally friendly, and the case cover 2 comprises a connecting portion 21, an elastic portion 22 and a covering portion 23 which are sequentially arranged; when the case cover 2 in the present utility model is unfolded and flattened, the connecting portion 21, the elastic portion 22 and the covering portion 23 are located on the same horizontal plane, and the connecting portion 21, the elastic portion 22 and the covering portion 23 are of an integrally formed structure; the elastic portion 22 is provided with several notches 221 which are arranged at intervals and penetrate upper and lower end faces of the elastic portion 22 such that the elastic portion 22 can be elastically deformed; the connecting portion 21 and the covering portion 23 can both be reversed by the elastic portion 22; and the holder 1 is connected to and arranged at an upper end of the connecting portion 21, and in the present utility mode, the holder 1 is integrally connected to the connecting portion 21 by glue, and the connecting portion 21 is covered at the lower portion of the holder 1.

The front end of the holder 1 is provided with a protrusion 11, and the covering portion 23 is provided with a snap groove 231 that is in snap engagement with the protrusion 11.

The elastic portion 22 is provided with several rows of notches 221 arranged at intervals, the notches 221 between adjacent rows are alternately arranged, and the notch 221 has a triangular cross section and the notches 221 between adjacent rows are arranged in opposite directions. By the above arrangement, the elasticity of the elastic portion 22 is increased, and the elastic portion 22 is easily bent such that the covering portion 23 covers the holder 1.

On two sides of the protrusion 11 are arc portions 12 extending outwardly, and that the arc portions 12 are provided on two sides of the protrusion 11 facilitates the disengagement of the protrusion 11 from the snap groove 231, thereby facilitating opening of the covering portion 23, and that the arc portions 12 extend outwardly facilitates clamping of the protrusion 11 to the snap groove 231.

The protrusion 11 is provided with a dividing groove 13 dividing the protrusion 11 into two parts, the longitudinal section of the dividing groove 13 is of a Y-shaped structure, and a vertical portion of the dividing groove 13 penetrates the protrusion 11, which is convenient to close the protrusion 11 so that the protrusion 11 is disengaged from the snap groove 231; by providing the dividing groove 13, the snap groove 231 presses the protrusion 11 inward when the cosmetic case is closed, and in this state, the protrusions 11 on two sides of the dividing groove will always have opposite acting forces to clamp the snap groove 231, thereby ensuring that the covering portion 23 does not automatically open due to vibration.

Two sides of the protrusion 11 are provided with symmetrical inclined grooves 14, and by adding the inclined grooves 14 on two sides of the protrusion 11, the elasticity of the protrusion 11 when in clamping is effectively improved, such that the protrusion 11 extends outwardly to come into snap engagement with the snap groove 231.

The upper end of the holder 1 is provided with several grooves 15 capable of holding cosmetics; in the present utility model, there are two rows and three columns of small grooves 15 and a large groove 15 in front of the small grooves 15; and with the above arrangement, it is convenient for the holder 1 to hold different types of cosmetics.
