Abstract
A compact assembly for storing a product therein includes a housing, a container member, and a resilient member. The container member is disposed within the housing. The container member defines a cavity to store the product. The resilient member is disposed between the housing and the container member. The resilient member cushions the container member to prevent forces acting on the housing from being applied to the container member.
Claims17
A compact assembly for storing a product therein, the compact assembly comprising:
- a housing;
- a container member disposed within the housing, the container member defining a cavity to store the product;
- a resilient member disposed between the housing and the container member, the resilient member cushioning the container member to prevent forces acting on the housing from being applied to the container member, and the resilient member is formed as a plurality of shock absorbers positioned between the housing and the container member, wherein each of the plurality of shock absorbers includes a support flange extending radially from an open first end, the support flange having a diameter greater than a diameter of an open second end;
- and
- a gasket having a plurality of apertures corresponding in diameter to the plurality of shock absorbers, wherein each of the plurality of shock absorbers extend through each of the plurality of apertures, and the gasket is fixedly secured to an interior surface of the housing to secure the plurality of shock absorbers to the housing.

A compact assembly for storing a product therein, the compact assembly comprising:
- a housing;
- a container member disposed within the housing, the container member defining a cavity to store the product;
- a resilient member disposed between the housing and the container member, the resilient member cushioning the container member to prevent forces acting on the housing from being applied to the container member, and the resilient member is formed as a plurality of shock absorbers positioned between the housing and the container member,
- wherein the plurality of shock absorbers are formed of a resilient material, the plurality of shock absorbers having an open first end, and the housing includes a plurality of posts, each of the plurality of posts are received within one of the respective open first ends of the plurality of shock absorbers so as to retain a position of the plurality of shock absorbers with respect to the housing,
- wherein each of the plurality of shock absorbers includes an open second end opposite the open first end, the container member includes a flange extending around the cavity, the container member includes a plurality of barbs that extend outwardly from an underside of the flange, and wherein each one of the plurality of barbs are received within the respective open second end of each of the plurality of shock absorbers such that the plurality of shock absorbers are retained between the housing and the container member;
- and
- a gasket having a plurality of apertures corresponding in diameter to the plurality of shock absorbers, wherein each of the plurality of shock absorbers extend through each of the plurality of apertures, and the gasket is fixedly secured to an interior surface of the housing to secure the plurality of shock absorbers to the housing.

A compact assembly for storing a product therein, the compact assembly comprising:
- a housing;
- a container member disposed within the housing, the container member defining a cavity to store the product;
- wherein the container member includes a platform portion and a floor portion separate from the platform portion, the platform portion having a flange bounding an opening and a cavity wall extending generally normal from an inner edge of the flange, and the floor portion having a plate portion that engages with the platform portion,
- wherein the floor portion includes at least one dampener disposed at a peripheral edge of the plate portion, the at least one dampener allows for relative movement between the platform portion and the floor portion upon engagement of the floor portion with the platform portion;
- a resilient member disposed between the housing and the container member, the resilient member cushioning the container member to prevent forces acting on the housing from being applied to the container member, and the resilient member is formed as a plurality of shock absorbers positioned between the housing and the container member;
- and
- a gasket having a plurality of apertures corresponding a diameter of the plurality of shock absorbers, wherein each of the plurality of shock absorbers extend through each of the plurality of apertures, and the gasket is fixedly secured to an interior surface of the housing to secure the plurality of shock absorbers to the housing.
