Abstract

A cosmetic casing assembly has a base assembly, a cover, an engaging device and a resilient member. The base assembly has at least one recess defined in the base assembly. The cover is pivotally connected to the base assembly. The engaging device is mounted between the base assembly and the cover to hold the cover at a closed condition relative to the base assembly. The resilient member is pliable, is mounted between the base assembly and the cover and has a first positioning segment, a second positioning segment and a bent resilient segment. The first positioning segment is connected to the base assembly. The second positioning segment is connected to the cover. The bent resilient segment is formed between the positioning segments. Accordingly, the pliable resilient member can provides a gentle force for opening the cover relative to the base assembly.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A cosmetic casing assembly comprising:
 a base assembly having at least one recess defined in the base assembly;   a cover pivotally connected to the base assembly;   an engaging device mounted between the base assembly and the cover to hold the cover at a closed condition relative to the base assembly; and   a pliable resilient member mounted between the base assembly and the cover and comprising
 a first positioning segment connected to the base assembly; 
 a second positioning segment connected to the cover; and 
 a bent resilient segment formed between the positioning segments. 
   
     
     
         2 . The cosmetic casing assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein
 the base assembly comprises
 a bottom housing; and 
 a cosmetic holder mounted in the bottom housing, wherein the at least one recess is defined in a top surface of the cosmetic holder; and 
   the cover is pivotally connected to the cosmetic holder.   
     
     
         3 . The cosmetic casing assembly as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the bottom housing has a positioning rib formed in the bottom housing; and
 the first positioning segment of the resilient member is mounted around the positioning rib and squeezed between the bottom housing and the cosmetic holder.   
     
     
         4 . The cosmetic casing assembly as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein
 the second positioning segment of the resilient member further has at least one mounting hole defined through the second positioning segment; and   the cover further has
 at least one mounting stub formed on the cover and mounted respectively in the at least one mounting hole in the second positioning segment of the resilient member; and 
 a squeezing lid attached to and engaging the at least one mounting stub of the cover to squeeze the second positioning segment of the resilient member between the cover and the squeezing lid. 
   
     
     
         5 . The cosmetic casing assembly as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein
 the cosmetic holder has two pivot mounts formed separately on an edge of the cosmetic holder;   the cover further has two pivot posts formed on an edge of the cover and respectively mounted rotatably in the pivot mounts on the cosmetic holder to pivotally connect the cover to the cosmetic holder; and   the resilient member is mounted between the pivot mounts on the cosmetic holder.   
     
     
         6 . The cosmetic casing assembly as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the engaging device comprises
 two engaging buttons mounted respectively on two sides of the bottom housing of the base assembly; and   two hooks formed on the cover and engaging respectively the engaging buttons on the base assembly.   
     
     
         7 . The cosmetic casing assembly as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the bottom housing of the base assembly further has
 two button sockets formed respectively on the sides of the bottom housing and respectively holding the engaging buttons inside; and   multiple holding tabs formed in the bottom housing and respectively spaced from the button sockets and abutting with the engaging buttons.   
     
     
         8 . The cosmetic casing assembly as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein
 each engaging button has
 an engaging hole defined in the engaging button and having an inner surface; and 
 a hooking portion formed on the inner surface of the engaging hole; and 
   the hooks on the cover are mounted respectively into the engaging holes in the engaging buttons and engaging detachably the hooking portions in the engaging holes when the cover is closed relative to the base assembly.   
     
     
         9 . The cosmetic casing assembly as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the cover further has a mirror mounted on the cover. 
     
     
         10 . The cosmetic casing assembly as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the resilient member is made of silicon gel. 
     
     
         11 . The cosmetic casing assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the base assembly has a positioning rib formed in the base assembly; and
 the first positioning segment of the resilient member is mounted around the positioning rib.   
     
     
         12 . The cosmetic casing assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein
 the second positioning segment of the resilient member further has at least one mounting hole defined through the second positioning segment; and   the cover further has
 at least one mounting stub formed on the cover and mounted respectively in the at least one mounting hole in the second positioning segment of the resilient member; and 
 a squeezing lid attached to and engaging the at least one mounting stub of the cover to squeeze the second positioning segment of the resilient member between the cover and the squeezing lid. 
   
     
     
         13 . The cosmetic casing assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein
 the base assembly has two pivot mounts formed separately on an edge of the base assembly;   the cover further has two pivot posts formed on an edge of the cover and respectively mounted rotatably in the pivot mounts on the base assembly to pivotally connect the cover to the base assembly; and   the resilient member is mounted between the pivot mounts on the base assembly.   
     
     
         14 . The cosmetic casing assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the engaging device comprises
 two engaging buttons mounted respectively on two sides of the base assembly; and   two hooks formed on the cover and engaging respectively the engaging buttons on the base assembly.   
     
     
         15 . The cosmetic casing assembly as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the base assembly further has
 two button sockets formed respectively on the sides of the base assembly and respectively holding the engaging buttons inside; and   multiple holding tabs formed in the base assembly and respectively spaced from the button sockets and abutting with the engaging buttons.   
     
     
         16 . The cosmetic casing assembly as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein
 each engaging button has
