Cosmetic compact with pivoting tray

1. A compact for carrying a cosmetic, the compact comprising:

a base comprising a pair of hinge pins; and

a tray comprising lateral sides and longitudinal sides,

the tray having a first face opposed to a second face, the first face comprising a first storage space for storing a cosmetic and the second face comprising a second storage space for storing a cosmetic;

the tray comprising a pair of rails, each rail engaging a respective hinge pin of the pair of hinge pins;

wherein the pair of rails slides the tray relative to the base on the pair of hinge pins from a first longitudinal position to a second longitudinal position and vice versa, the second longitudinal position coinciding with a pivot point of the tray relative to the base;

wherein the tray pivots about the pivot point with respect to the base from a first lateral position to a second lateral position, the first lateral position making the first storage space accessible to a user and the second lateral position making the second storage space accessible to the user;

wherein the tray comprises a longitudinally oriented key for engaging the base in a longitudinal direction to secure the tray in the second lateral position; and

a cover connected to the base by a common hinge oriented substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of sliding of said tray.

2. The compact of claim 1 , wherein the tray comprises a magnetized surface for removably storing a cosmetic having a metallic surface in contact with the magnetized surface.

3. The compact of claim 1 , wherein the base comprises a bed for storing the tray.

4. The compact of claim 1 , wherein said key is co-linear with said rail.

5. A compact for carrying a cosmetic, the compact comprising:

a cover and a base forming a casing; and

a tray slideably and pivotably connected to the base, the tray having a first face opposed to a second face, the first face comprising a first storage space for storing a first cosmetic and the second face comprising a second storage space for storing a second cosmetic;

wherein the base comprises a pair of hinge pins and the tray comprises a pair of rails, each rail engaging a respective hinge pin of the pair of hinge pins for longitudinal and rotational movement relative to each other permitting the tray to be longitudinally movable and pivotable about a pivot point with respect to the base,

wherein the first storage space is accessible to a user when the tray is in a first lateral position with respect to the base, and the second storage space is accessible to a user when the tray is pivoted from the first lateral position to a second lateral position with respect to the base;

wherein the tray slides relative to the base from a first longitudinal position to a second longitudinal position and vice versa, the second longitudinal position coinciding with the pivot point of the tray relative to the base;

wherein the tray comprises a longitudinally oriented key for engaging the base in a longitudinal direction to secure the tray in the second position; and

wherein the cover is connected to the base by a common hinge oriented substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of sliding of said tray.

6. The compact of claim 5 , wherein the base comprises a bed for storing the tray when the casing is closed.

7. The compact of claim 6 , wherein the bed is flanked by a pair of upright walls, the walls comprising a recess, tray comprises a key for being engageably received by the recess.

8. The compact of claim 5 , wherein said key is co-linear with said rail.

9. A compact for storing a plurality of cosmetics, the compact comprising:

a tray for storing cosmetics in a first face and a second face opposed to the first face; and

a base having a pair of hinge pins received by a respective rail of a pair of rails disposed in the tray,

wherein the pair of rails slides the tray relative to the base on the pair of hinge pins from a first longitudinal position to a second longitudinal position and vice versa, the second longitudinal position coinciding with a pivot point of the tray relative to the base;

wherein the tray pivots about the pivot point with respect to the base from a first lateral position to a second lateral position, the first lateral position making the first face accessible to a user and the second lateral position making the second face accessible to the user;

wherein the tray comprises a longitudinally oriented key for engaging the base in a longitudinal direction to secure the tray in the second lateral position; and

a cover connected to the base by a common hinge oriented substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of sliding of said tray.

10. The compact of claim 9 , wherein the cosmetics are removably stored.

11. The compact of claim 10 wherein a surface of each face is magnetized and the cosmetic comprises a metal surface in contact with the magnetized surface.

12. The compact of claim 9 further comprising a top for closing on the base.

13. The compact of claim 12 , wherein the tray stores in a bed disposed in the base.

14. The compact of claim 9 , wherein said key is co-linear with said rail.
