Abstract
Perfume bottle structure including an upper casing and a lower casing mated with each other. The upper and lower casings are respectively housed in two frame bodies and the surfaces of the upper and lower casings are disposed with replaceable decorative articles. A perfume container is placed in the lower casing and connected with a base seat for firmly locating the perfume container. A fixing seat is mounted at bottom end of the lower casing for freely firmly locating the perfume bottle at desired places. The top end of the upper casing is formed with a cylindrical cavity in which a cylindrical sleeve is fitted. A decorative cap is engaged with the cylindrical sleeve for opening/closing the perfume bottle.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a novel perfume bottle structure which achieves a decorative effect and can be firmly freely placed at desired places.
A conventional perfume bottle has monotonous pattern without any decorative effect. Moreover, after a period of use and the perfume contained in the perfume bottle is exhausted, it is impossible to open the perfume bottle for replacing the perfume. Under such circumstance, the entire perfume bottle will lose its function and must be discarded. This leads to waste of resource.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a novel perfume bottle structure including easily detachable decorative articles and frame bodies, whereby the assembly of the perfume bottle can be changed to enhance the appearance.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide the above perfume bottle structure which has simple structure and can be easily mass-produced.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide the above perfume bottle structure which is equipped with a fixing seat having double-face gum so that the perfume bottle can be freely firmly located at a desired place to achieve a decorative effect.
The present invention can be best understood through the following description and accompanying drawings wherein:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Please refer to
FIGS. 1 and 2
. The perfume bottle structure
1
of the present invention includes an upper casing
10
, a lower casing
20
and a perfume container
30
.
As shown in
FIG. 1
, the upper casing
10
is a semi-elliptic casing the top end of which is formed with a perforation
11
. The upper casing
10
is further formed with several grooves
12
at equal intervals. The grooves
12
downward extend from the perforation
11
to the edge of an open end. A decorative article
13
is replaceably disposed on a surface defined between each two adjacent grooves
12
. The edge of inner wall face of the upper casing
10
is formed with projecting locating plates
14
. The lower casing
20
is formed with corresponding recesses
241
, whereby when the upper and lower casings
10
,
20
are mated with each other, the locating plates
14
are inserted into the recesses
241
. The upper casing
10
is housed in a frame body
15
having similar profile and slightly larger dimension. The top end of the frame body
15
is formed with a cylindrical cavity
151
. The periphery of the cavity
151
is formed with several slits
152
and a central through hole
153
. A locating post
158
is disposed on one side of the through hole
153
. A cylindrical sleeve
154
having same structure but slightly smaller dimension is received in the cavity
151
. The sleeve
154
is formed with a central through hole
153
and an arch slide slot
157
beside the central through hole
153
corresponding to the locating post
158
for the locating post
158
to slidably insert therein. A decorative cap
155
with free pattern is fitted in the central through hole
153
of the cylindrical cavity
151
. A screw is passed through the sleeve
154
to lock the decorative cap
155
with the sleeve
154
. In addition, a lug
156
is disposed on the edge of the opening of the frame body
15
.
The lower casing
20
has a semi-elliptic structure basically identical to that of the upper casing
10
. The bottom end of the lower casing
20
is formed with a perforation
21
. The periphery of the lower casing
20
is further formed with several grooves
22
at equal intervals. The grooves
22
upward extend from the perforation
21
to the edge of an open end. A decorative article
23
is replaceably disposed on a surface defined between each two adjacent grooves
22
. The perfume container
30
is placed into the internal chamber of the lower casing
20
. The inner wall face of the lower casing is annularly formed with several dents
24
at equal intervals. The edge of the inner wall face is formed with recesses
241
. The lower casing
20
is housed in a frame body
25
with similar profile but slightly larger dimension. The bottom end of the frame body
25
is formed with a through hole
251
. A tripod-like fixing seat
252
is disposed around the outer face of the through hole
251
. Each leg of the fixing seat is disposed with double-face gum
253
for reliable standing. A screw is passed through the fixing seat
252
and the through hole
251
to lock the fixing seat
252
with a stop block
211
so as to associate the fixing seat
252
, the frame body
25
and the lower casing
20
into an integral body. In addition, a connecting arm
254
is disposed on the edge of the opening of the frame body
25
corresponding to the lug
156
.
The perfume container
30
contains a perfume therein. One end of the perfume container
30
is formed with a narrowed neck section having an opening
31
sealed by a cover body
32
. A wick
33
is positioned in the container
30
for absorbing the perfume and releasing the perfume into the air,. The periphery of the bottom face of the perfume container
30
is formed with notches
34
at equal intervals and is equipped with a base seat
35
. The inner wall face of the base seat
35
is formed with ribs
351
at equal intervals corresponding to the notches
34
, whereby the perfume container
30
can be fitted into the base seat
35
and rotated so as to engage with the base seat
35
. In addition, the bottom of the base seat
35
is disposed with several locating projections
352
for inserting into the dents
24
of the inner wall face of the lower casing
20
so as to associate the base seat
35
with the lower casing
20
.
According to the above arrangement, when assembled, the upper and lower casings
10
,
20
are respectively assembled with the frame bodies
15
,
25
which are snugly fitted into the grooves
12
,
22
of outer surfaces of the upper and lower casings
10
,
20
. Then the lug
156
and connecting arm
254
of the two frame bodies
15
,
25
are connected with each other by means of an insertion pin, whereby the two frame bodies
15
,
25
can be opened or closed. Then the base seat
35
is placed into the lower casing
20
with the locating projections
352
inserted into the dents
24
. At this time, the perfume container
30
is placed in with the ribs
351
of the base seat
35
passing through the notches
34
of the perfume container
30
. Then the perfume container
30
is rotated to firmly associate with the base seat
35
as shown in
FIG. 3
to form a complete perfume bottle structure as shown in FIG.
2
.
Prior to use, as shown in
FIGS. 4 and 5
, the two frame bodies
15
,
25
together with the upper and lower casings
10
,
20
are opened to form a state as shown in FIG.
4
. Then the cover body
32
of the perfume container
30
is screwed open and then the upper casing
10
and the frame body
15
are closed to form a state as shown in FIG.
5
. In use, the decorative cap
155
is manually rotated to drivingly rotate the cylindrical sleeve
154
. At this time, the slits
152
of the periphery of the sleeve
154
are communicated with the slits
152
of the cylindrical cavity
151
of the upper casing, permitting the perfume to evaporate and dissipate over the air.
By means of the fixing seat
252
of the lower casing
20
, the perfume bottle
1
can be stand stably on any place. Moreover, the double-face gum
253
of the bottoms of the legs of the fixing seat
252
enable the perfume bottle
1
to be fixed at a specific position.
It should be noted that the decorative articles
13
,
23
can be replaceably fixed on the surfaces of the upper and lower casings
10
,
20
by means of double-face gum or screws in a convenient manner.
The above embodiment is only used to illustrate the present invention, not intended to limit the scope thereof. Many modifications of the above embodiment can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
