Cosmetic case

Abstract

A cosmetic case includes a base, first and second cover members, and first and second fastening units. The base confines a first receiving space that opens upwardly. The first cover member is connected pivotally to the base and is movable between covering and uncovering positions to cover and uncover the first receiving space. The second cover member is connected pivotally to and cooperates with the first cover member to confine a second receiving space, and is movable between covering and uncovering positions to cover and uncover the second receiving space. The first fastening unit is provided on the base and the first cover member for retaining releasably the first cover member at the covering position on the base. The second fastening unit is provided on the first and second cover members for retaining releasably the second cover member at the covering position on the first cover member.

1 . A cosmetic case comprising:
 a base confining a first receiving space that opens upwardly;   a first cover member connected pivotally to said base and movable between covering and uncovering positions to cover and uncover said first receiving space;   a second cover member connected pivotally to said first cover member, cooperating with said first cover member to confine a second receiving space, and movable between covering and uncovering positions to cover and uncover said second receiving space;   a first fastening unit provided on said base and said first cover member for retaining releasably said first cover member at the covering position on said base; and   a second fastening unit provided on said first and second cover members for retaining releasably said second cover member at the covering position on said first cover member.   
   
   
       2 . The cosmetic case as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said base includes a base wall and a peripheral wall that extends upwardly from a periphery of said base wall and that cooperates with said base wall to confine said first receiving space. 
   
   
       3 . The cosmetic case as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said first cover member includes a cover wall, and said second cover member includes a top wall and a surrounding wall that extends from a periphery of said top wall, said top wall and said surrounding wall of said second cover member cooperating with said cover wall of said first cover member to confine said second receiving space. 
   
   
       4 . The cosmetic case as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein said peripheral wall of said base has a forked rear wall part, said cover wall of said first cover member having a rear pivot end and a base coupling portion that projects downwardly from said rear pivot end and that extends into said forked rear wall part of said peripheral wall of said base, said cosmetic case further comprising a pivot pin that passes through said base coupling portion and that connects pivotally said first cover member to said forked rear wall part of said peripheral wall of said base. 
   
   
       5 . The cosmetic case as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein said cover wall of said first cover member has a rear pivot end and a cover coupling portion that projects rearwardly from said rear pivot end, said surrounding wall of said second cover member having a rear pivot end formed with a pair of pivot lugs that extend downwardly and that are respectively adjacent to opposite ends of said cover coupling portion of said cover wall of said first cover member, said cosmetic case further comprising a pivot pin that passes through said cover coupling portion and said pivot lugs to connect pivotally said second cover member to said cover coupling portion of said cover wall of said first cover member. 
   
   
       6 . The cosmetic case as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein said first fastening unit includes an engaging groove formed in said peripheral wall of said base, a resilient tab that extends downwardly from said cover wall of said first cover member, and a projection that protrudes from said resilient tab to engage said engaging groove when said first cover member is at the covering position on said base. 
   
   
       7 . The cosmetic case as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said first cover member includes a cover wall, and said second cover member includes a top wall and a surrounding wall that extends from a periphery of said top wall, said top wall and said surrounding wall of said second cover member cooperating with said cover wall of said first cover member to confine said second receiving space. 
   
   
       8 . The cosmetic case as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein said cover wall of said first cover member has a top surface, said first cover member further including a frame-shaped rib that protrudes from said top surface of said cover wall at a location corresponding to said second cover member. 
   
   
       9 . The cosmetic case as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein said rib is in a form of a rectangular frame and includes parallel left and right segments and front and rear connecting segments that bridge said left and right segments. 
   
   
       10 . The cosmetic case as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein said cover wall of said first cover member has top and bottom surfaces, said second fastening unit including an engaging hole that is formed through said top and bottom surfaces of said cover wall, and an anchoring component that extends downwardly from said surrounding wall of said second cover member to engage said engaging hole when said second cover member is at the covering position on said first cover member. 
   
   
       11 . The cosmetic case as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a tray disposed in said first receiving space and formed with a plurality of compartments.
