Abstract:

A cosmetic case is provided that includes a frame and a plurality of vertically tiered compartments for the storage of cosmetics and other personal items. The compartments of the plurality are independent and can each pivot laterally to an open position about a pivot shaft associated with the frame. The case is provided with a mirror which can occupy either a storage position or a viewing position. The mirror storage position can be located in the frame or in a compartment, preferably an uppermost compartment that is hinged on a horizontal axis. Optionally, the case can include a second pivot shaft enabling desired compartments each to pivot in an opposed lateral direction to an open position so that more than one compartment can be opened without interfering with access. Preferably the compartments are provided with a releasable retaining means in the closed position, and preferably the frame is provided with a carrying member.
