Abstract

The present invention relates to a cosmetics case including a cover having a lock protrusion and a hinge protrusion; a base case to which the cover is pivotally connected; an intermediate case installed in the base case and in which a button and a spring are installed; a powder case receiving solid powder therein, installed in the intermediate case and supported by the spring; and a grinding member rotatably installed in a coupling groove of the intermediate case to grind the surface of the solid powder received in the powder case. The present invention provides the cosmetics case capable of rotating in both directions, in which rotation in one direction permits grinding of the solid powder and rotation in the other direction permits pressing down of the surface of the solid powder, thereby preventing the ground powder from being discharged outwards, and after use, the cover is closed to prevent impurities from being put into the solid powder.

Claims (15)

1. A cosmetics case for grinding solid powder, the cosmetics case comprising:

a cover having a lock protrusion and a hinge protrusion;

a base case to which the cover is pivotally connected;

an intermediate case installed in the base case and in which a button and a spring are installed;

a powder case for receiving the solid powder therein and installed in the intermediate case and supported by the spring; and

a grinding member rotatably installed in a coupling groove of the intermediate case for grinding the surface of the solid powder received in the powder case,

wherein the intermediate case comprises:

a receiving part that is open at its upper end for receiving the powder case,

spring fixing protrusions formed on the receiving part for fixing the spring,

a plurality of rotation preventing protrusions formed on an inner periphery of the receiving part for connection to the powder case,

a coupling groove formed around an outer periphery of the intermediate case,

a brim formed along the outer periphery of the intermediate case,

a coupling groove installed in the brim to accommodate the lock protrusion of the cover, and

a button installation protrusion formed at a portion of the brim and having a button installation hole, wherein the button is coupled to the button installation protrusion and supported by guide posts.

2. The cosmetics case of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the rotation preventing protrusions are biasedly formed on the inner periphery of the intermediate case, and each of the rotation preventing protrusions has a separation preventing protrusion formed at an upper end for preventing separation of the powder case supported by the spring from the intermediate case.
