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.
Claims11
A compact assembly for storing a product therein, the compact assembly comprising:
- a housing that includes a plurality of posts;
- a container member disposed within the housing, the container member defining a cavity to store the product, that includes a flange extending around the cavity, and includes a plurality of barbs that extend outwardly from an underside of the flange;
- a resilient member formed as a plurality of shock absorbers formed of a resilient material 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
- a gasket having a plurality of apertures corresponding in diameter to a diameter of the plurality of shock absorbers, wherein
- each of the plurality of shock absorbers comprise an open first end and an open second end opposite the open first end;
- each of the plurality of posts are received within one of the open first end of the plurality of shock absorbers so as to retain the position of the plurality of shock absorbers with respect to the housing;
- each of the plurality of barbs are received within the 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
- 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;
- and
- 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,
- 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, and
- 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.
