Abstract
Cosmetic containers having multiple levels, a lid, and a base, in which the opening of the lid also provides access to at least first and second levels having one or more compartments for products and/or applicators. The base may contain a first level, and be coupled via a first linkage to a second level. The lid may be coupled by a pivot assembly to the base and to the second level by a second linkage. The overall assembly may allow access to both the first level and the second level on opening the lid.
Claims20
A multiple level container comprising:
- a base comprising a base perimeter;
- a lid configured to be pivotably coupled to the base,
- a first level disposed within the base and comprising one or more first level compartments;
- a second level coupled between the lid and the base and comprising one or more second level compartments, the second level having a first end and a second end opposite the first end;
- a lid hinge assembly coupling the base and the lid;
- a first linkage assembly coupling the base and the second level, the first linkage assembly having a first end coupled to the base at a first pivot point and a second end coupled to the first end of the second level at a second pivot point;
- and
- a second linkage assembly coupling the second end of the second level and the lid,
- wherein the lid hinge assembly and linkages are configured and arranged such that, when the lid is opened from a closed position to an access position, the lid rotates via the lid hinge assembly and the second level pivots via the first linkage assembly and the second linkage assembly to provide simultaneous access to the one or more first level compartments and the one or more second level compartments.
