Modular cosmetic container

Abstract

A modular cosmetic container comprises an outer case and an inner case which is pivotally disposed in a receiving space of the outer case and is provided with a containing space for placing cosmetic products. The upper surface of the outer case is a flat surface without any protrusion. An extending wall extending downwardly along the lateral side of the outer case forms a recess for retaining the upper wall of another outer case. Hence, a plurality of the modular cosmetic containers can be stacked and jointed together in the manner of lateral holdfast, such that the upper wall of one outer case is snugly fitted into the recess defined by the extending wall of another outer case.

1 . A modular cosmetic container comprising: 
 an outer case having a open receiving space defined by an upper wall, a lower wall and a side wall connecting said upper wall to said lower wall, said upper wall having a flat upper surface without any protrusion, pivoting holes being respectively formed at predetermined corresponding positions on said upper wall and said lower wall, said outer case having an extending wall extending downwardly along the lateral side of said lower wall to form a recess below said lower wall, said recess suitable for engaging said upper wall of another outer case in the manner of lateral holdfast; and    an inner case corresponding in size and shape to the receiving space of said outer case, said inner case having a containing space for placing cosmetic products therein, the upper and lower ends of said inner case respectively provided with a pivot for insertion into pivoting holes of said outer case, said inner case is further provided at the lateral side with a curved projection for easily releasing a lock of the inner case from said receiving space.    
   
   
       2 . The modular cosmetic container of  claim 1  wherein said side wall is provided at the edge side thereof with a retaining projection for locking said inner case, and said inner case is provided at a predetermined position of the outer side wall thereof with a retaining recess for engaging said retaining projection.
