Multifunctional compact mirror case

Abstract

A multifunctional compact mirror case which has a transparent case body, a transparent lid, and a mirror frame having a double-sided plane mirror unit and set in the case body, with a convex lens part and a concave lens part formed on opposite outer surfaces of the case body and the lid. The compact mirror case thus provides a convex mirror function formed by a combination of the plane mirror unit and the convex lens part, a concave mirror function formed by a combination of the plane mirror unit and the concave lens part, and a plane mirror function formed by the plane mirror unit. Thus, a user selectively uses the convex mirror function or the concave mirror function while closing the lid on the case body, and uses the plane mirror function after opening lid from the case body. In the multifunctional compact mirror case, upper and lower plane mirrors are set in the mirror frame while overlapping with each other and facing oppositely to form the double-sided plane mirror unit. The case body has the convex lens part on its lower surface, and seats the mirror frame therein, thus providing the convex mirror function. The lid is coupled to the case body at a hinged joint, and has the concave lens part on its upper surface to provide the concave mirror function.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A multifunctional compact mirror case, comprising: 
 a mirror frame to support therein upper and lower plane mirrors which overlap with each other while facing oppositely to form a double-sided plane mirror unit;    a case body having inner and outer rings to form a fitting groove between the inner and outer rings so as to hold the mirror frame on the case body; and    a lid having a hinge boss which is coupled at both ends thereof to hinge shafts of the case body, thus forming a hinged joint around which the lid is opened or closed relative to the case body.    
     
     
         2 . The multifunctional compact mirror case according to  claim 1 , wherein the case body is made of a transparent plastic material, with a lower surface of the case body being depressed at a central area thereof, thus forming a lower depression on the lower surface of the case body and a thick lower rim along an outside edge of the case body, the lower depression of the case body being convex downward on a surface thereof to form a first lens part.  
     
     
         3 . The multifunctional compact mirror case according to  claim 1 , wherein the case body has a frame seating depression on an upper surface thereof to seat the mirror frame having the double-sided plane mirror unit, and a thick lower rim formed along an outside edge of the case body, with the inner and outer rings formed along an upper surface of the lower rim and the fitting groove defined between the inner and outer rings to hold the mirror frame on the upper surface of the case body having the frame seating depression.  
     
     
         4 . The multifunctional compact mirror case according to  claim 1 , wherein the case body is provided at a side thereof with two hinge holders which are spaced apart from each other to define a space between the two hinge holders, with the hinge shafts provided on inside surfaces of the two hinge holders to extend toward each other and inserted into both ends of a hinge hole formed in the hinge boss of the lid, thus forming the hinged joint around which the lid is opened or closed relative to the case body.  
     
     
         5 . The multifunctional compact mirror case according to  claim 1 , wherein the lid is made of a transparent plastic material, with an upper surface of the lid being depressed at a central area thereof, thus forming an upper depression on the upper surface of the lid and a thick upper rim along an outside edge of the lid, the upper depression of the lid being concave on a surface thereof to form a second lens part.  
     
     
         6 . The multifunctional compact mirror case according to  claim 1 , wherein the lid and the case body are constructed such that an upper surface of the lid forms a concave mirror function and a lower surface of the case body forms a convex mirror function when the lid is closed on the case body.  
     
     
         7 . The multifunctional compact mirror case according to  claim 1 , wherein the lid and the case body are constructed such that the upper plane mirror forms a plane mirror function and a lower surface of the case body forms a convex mirror function when the lid is open from the case body.  
     
     
         8 . The multifunctional compact mirror case according to  claim 1 , wherein a lower surface of the case body is depressed at a central area thereof, thus forming a lower depression on the lower surface of the case body and a thick lower rim along an outside edge of the case body, the lower depression of the case body being concave on a surface thereof, thus allowing the lower surface of the case body to form a concave mirror function.  
     
     
         9 . The multifunctional compact mirror case according to  claim 1 , wherein an upper surface of the lid is depressed at a central area thereof, thus forming an upper depression on the upper surface of the lid and a thick upper rim along an outside edge of the lid, the upper depression of the lid being convex on a surface thereof, thus allowing the upper surface of the lid to form a convex mirror function when the lid is closed on the case body.  
     
     
         10 . The multifunctional compact mirror case according to  claim 1 , wherein the lid and the case body are constructed such that the multifunctional compact mirror case have a convex mirror function, a concave mirror function and a plane mirror function, due to the double-sided plane mirror unit which is fabricated by the upper and lower plane mirrors set in the mirror frame that is seated along the fitting groove of the case body.
