Abstract

A snap hinge compact is provided. The snap hinge compact includes an upper cover and a box body. The upper cover includes a hinge slot configured at one side of the upper cover. The box body includes a recessive slot adapted for correspondingly matching with the hinge slot. The box body includes a hinge shaft disposed in the recessive slot for engaging with the hinge slot. The hinge shaft is rotatably coupled with the hinge slot. The hinge shaft has two ends secured to two sides of an inner wall of the recessive slot, respectively. Comparing with the conventional snap hinge compact, the hinge shaft of the snap hinge compact of the present invention achieves an improved strength. Therefore, when the hinge slot is engaged with the hinge shaft or the upper cover is turned to rotate around the hinge shaft, the hinge shaft is not likely to be broken.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A snap hinge compact, comprising:
 an upper cover, comprising a hinge slot configured at one side of the upper cover; and   a box body, comprising a recessive slot positioned at one side of the box body adapted for correspondingly matching with the hinge slot, and a hinge shaft disposed in the recessive slot for engaging with the hinge slot,   wherein the hinge shaft is rotatably coupled with the hinge slot, and the hinge shaft has two ends secured to two sides of an inner wall of the recessive slot, respectively.   
     
     
         2 . The snap hinge compact as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein an inner wall of the hinge slot comprises an outwardly declining surface, an inwardly recessive arcuate surface, and a flat surface, wherein the outwardly declining surface is positioned at an outside of the inwardly recessive arcuate surface, and the flat surface is positioned at an inside of the inwardly recessive arcuate surface. 
     
     
         3 . The snap hinge compact as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the box body comprises at least one accommodating region for containing cosmetics therein. 
     
     
         4 . The snap hinge compact as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the upper cover further comprises a protrusion member disposed at another side of the upper cover opposite to where the hinge slot is positioned, and the box body further comprises a receiving slot positioned at another side of the box body opposite to where the recessive slot is positioned for correspondingly matching with the protrusion member, wherein the protrusion member comprises a first engaging block and the box body further comprises a second engaging block configured in the receiving slot adapted for engaging with the first engaging block. 
     
     
         5 . The snap hinge compact as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the box body comprises a projecting edge adapted for engaging with a bottom of the upper cover.
