Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cosmetic case capable of facilitating a segregated collection and normally reflecting an image without any deformation such as warp and distortion in mirror surface even in a synthetic resin mirror by forming the mirror out of the same synthetic resin as a case body and a cover body and by dispensing with its detachment therefrom. SOLUTION: This cosmetic case 1 is so constituted that a cover body 3 is connected to a case body 2 for storing cosmetic 4 by a hinge and constituted into a freely opened/closed thin box. The case body 2, the cover body 3, and a hinge pin 60 are formed of a synthetic resin. Annularly projected projections 32 are formed double and a mirror 5 is stuck thereto via a cushion material 8. The mirror 5 is formed of the synthetic resin into a thin film or a sheet so that the mirror face easily causes the deformation such as warp and distortion, however, only one point of the mirror 5 is stuck to the double projections 32, 32 and therefore the flatness of the mirror 5 surface is supported by the self possessing tension.

Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cosmetic container for accommodating cosmetics, and more particularly to a cosmetic container adapted to be separately collected using a mirror made of synthetic resin. Related to food containers. [0002] In general, a thin box container called a cosmetic container is used for carrying cosmetics. This compact is used by storing cosmetics in a thin container body and wiping it with a brush or the like.The lid is hinged to the rear end of the container body so that it can be opened and closed. The closed structure of the lid is generally maintained by engaging a hook provided between the front ends of the lid and the lid. [0003] In such a compact, both the container body and the lid are made of synthetic resin, so that the manufacture is facilitated, the weight of the entire container is reduced, and the decoration is diversified. [0004] However, in such a conventional compact, even when the container body and the lid are formed of synthetic resin, the mirror mounted inside the lid is made of glass. It is common to form. By the way, such a compact is discarded as garbage when it is used or damaged, but it is desirable that it is easy to separate and collect for recycling. However, as described above, since the mirror is made of glass with respect to the synthetic resin container body and lid,
At the time of sorted collection, it is necessary to remove the mirror for processing, and it is not possible to cope with sorted collection. In particular, there is a problem that removing the mirror made of glass requires great care so as not to get injured, and it takes a lot of trouble to remove the mirror. Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of such a conventional problem, and the mirror is made of a synthetic resin like the container body and the lid, so that the mirror is not required to be removed, so that it is easy to collect separately. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cosmetic container capable of displaying an image normally without deformation such as warpage or distortion of the mirror surface even when the mirror is made of a synthetic resin. [0007] In order to achieve the above object, a cosmetic container according to claim 1 of the present invention comprises a synthetic resin container main body for accommodating a cosmetic, and a container main body made of synthetic resin. It comprises a lid made of a synthetic resin that can be opened and closed freely, and a mirror made of a synthetic resin that is attached to only one or two places via a cushion material on the mounting receiving side. In the cosmetic container according to the first aspect of the present invention, the mirror is made of synthetic resin, and the container body and the lid are also made of synthetic resin. Become. For this reason, it is not necessary to separate each time when disposing as garbage. In addition, the mirror is attached by attaching only one or two places to the attachment receiving side via a cushion material. Since this mirror is a thin sheet made of synthetic resin and has flexibility and flexibility, the mirror surface is likely to be deformed such as warpage or distortion, but unlike the case of bonding at three or more points, single-point bonding Since the mirror surface is supported only at one point, the mirror surface is in a floating free state except for the bonding point, and the flatness of the mirror surface is maintained by the tension of the self. In addition, even in the case of two-point bonding, since the support is made in a state where the degree of freedom is allowed around the axis connecting the two points, even in this case, the flatness of the mirror surface can be maintained by the tension of the self. Further, when mounting the mirror, a cushion material is interposed in the bonding portion, so that the deformation on the mounting receiving side can be absorbed by the cushion material, and the deformation can be softened through the bonding portion. It is possible to prevent the mirror from deforming, such as warping or distortion, due to being transmitted to the mirror having the property, so that the image cannot be normally displayed. An embodiment of a cosmetic container according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a cosmetic container, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the lid side of the cosmetic container viewed from the inside, and FIG. It is the perspective view which disassembled the cover side partly. This cosmetic container 1 is formed into a thin box by hinge-connecting a container body 2 formed in a substantially elliptical planar shape and a lid 3 similarly formed in a substantially elliptical planar shape. Have been. A cosmetic 4 is stored in the container body 2, and a circular mirror 5 is attached to the inside of the lid 3. The container body 2, the lid 3 and the mirror 5 are each formed of a synthetic resin, and the mirror 5 is formed in a thin film or sheet shape. The rear end of the container body 2 has a concave portion 20 formed by cutting out a part of the center, and a protrusion fitted into the concave portion 20 is formed at the center of the rear end of the lid 3. 30 are formed. Then, in a state where the projection 30 is fitted to the recess 20, the hinge 6 is formed by passing the pair of hinge pins 60 from both sides of the recess 20 so as to straddle the projection 30 and stop the hinge 6. The hinge 6 is pivotally connected to the container body 2 around the hinge pin 60 as an axis. Hinge pin 60
Is also made of a synthetic resin, and is press-fitted into pin holes provided on both sides of the recess 20 and the projection 30. A hook 7 is formed on the opposite side of the hinge 6, that is, between the container body 2 and the front end of the lid 3. The closed state of the lid 3 is established by engaging the hook 7. Is to be kept. The hook 7 is attached to the container body 2
And a lid-side hook pawl 37 provided on the lid 3. Main unit hook hook 2
Numeral 7 is formed so as to protrude from the inner wall of the concave portion 21 formed at the front end of the container body 2, and a lid hook pawl 37 is formed to face a corresponding portion of the front end of the lid 3, and a lid hook pawl is formed. The hook claws 27 and 37 are disengaged by the resilience of the hook 37. The inner surface of the lid 3 is shallowly recessed to form a recess 31 slightly larger than the outer shape of the mirror 5, and a convex portion 32 projecting annularly is formed at the center of the recess 31. Are formed doubly, and the mirror 5 is fixed to the double projections 32, 32 via the cushion material 8. The cushion member 8 is formed of a soft member having an appropriate elasticity and a soft material, for example, a member such as a foamed resin member such as styrene foam or a foamed rubber member. It is formed in a plate shape. Since the mirror 5 is formed of a synthetic resin into a thin film or sheet, the mirror surface of the mirror 5 is liable to be deformed such as warping or distortion. However, here, the cushion material 8 is formed by the double convex portions 32 and 32.
Only one part of the mirror 5 is fixed via the mirror, and the mirror 5 is supported only at the center part, so that the mirror part is in a free floating state except for the center part, and is also elastic and soft. Since it is adhered through the material 8, the flatness of the mirror surface can be maintained by the tension of its own, and the mirror surface of the mirror 5 is not deformed such as warpage or distortion, and the image is projected normally. Can be. In order to attach the mirror 5, a method of fixing the three points is also conceivable. If the three points are adhered, a flat surface can be formed so that the mirror 5 is preferable. However, the mirror 5 is made of a thin film or sheet and is flexible. Due to the nature and flexibility, if they are fixed at three points, they may be adhered while remaining deformed in a plane defined by the three points. Also, the attachment of the mirror 5 is not point bonding,
Since the bonding surface is a relatively wide partial bonding, the mounting is stable. On the other hand, if the bonding surface is too wide,
The deformation of the lid 3 is easily transmitted to the mirror 5 through the adhesive surface, and thus the mirror may be deformed such as warp or distortion, so that an image may not be normally displayed. In this embodiment, since the cushion material 8 is interposed on the bonding surface, the deformation on the lid 3 side is absorbed by the cushion material 8 and is not transmitted to the mirror 5 side. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the external force for deforming the mirror surface from being transmitted to the mirror 5. With the above configuration, the cosmetic container 1 of the present embodiment has the mirror 5 formed of a thin film or sheet of synthetic resin, and the container body 2, the lid 3, and the hinge 6 (hinge pin 60). Similarly, all the constituent members are made of the same material because they are formed of synthetic resin. For this reason, there is no need to separate them each time when discarding them as garbage, and conventional glass mirrors were difficult and dangerous to remove,
Since there is no need to separate such mirrors, separate collection is extremely easy and safety is high. FIGS. 4 to 6 show a second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the lid side of the cosmetic container viewed from the inside, and has the same components as those in the first embodiment. The same reference numerals are given and duplicate descriptions are omitted. In this embodiment, the container main body 2a has a substantially rectangular shape, and a substantially rectangular mirror 5a is provided on the concave portion 31a without forming a convex portion on the concave portion 31a inside the lid 3a.
1a is fixed via a square cushion member 8a. Even in such a configuration, the cushion member 8a has a predetermined thickness and the mirror 5a is supported only at the central portion, so that the other portion of the mirror surface is in a free floating state.
The flatness of the mirror surface is maintained by the tension of the self. Therefore, similarly to the first embodiment, no deformation such as warpage or distortion occurs on the mirror surface of the mirror 5a, and an image can be normally displayed. Further, similarly to the first embodiment, the mounting surface of the mirror 5a is a relatively wide partial bonding, so that the mounting is stable, and the cushioning material 8a is interposed on the bonding surface. Therefore, the deformation on the side of the lid 3a is absorbed by the cushion material 8a, and is not transmitted to the mirror 5a, and the external force for deforming the mirror surface can be prevented from being transmitted to the mirror 5a. In the above embodiment, the case where the mirror is adhered to the lid at only one location is exemplified. However, the mirror may be adhered at two locations separated by a considerable distance from the recess. Of course. Even with such two-point bonding,
Since the support is a state in which the degree of freedom is allowed around the axis connecting the two points, the flatness of the mirror surface can be maintained by the tension of the self. In the above embodiment, the lid is exemplified as the attachment receiving side for attaching the mirror.
The attachment receiving side in the present invention may be any component that constitutes a cosmetic container, and may be, for example, any of a container body, an inner lid, a partition plate, and the like provided therein. As described above, in the cosmetic container of the present invention, the mirror is made of synthetic resin, and the container body and the lid are also made of synthetic resin.
All of the constituent members are made of the same material. For this reason, it is not necessary to separate each case when discarding as garbage, and conventional glass mirrors were difficult and dangerous to remove, but such mirrors are not required to be separated, making separate collection significantly easier. High safety. Further, the mirror is attached by attaching only one or two places to the attachment receiving side via a cushion material. Since this mirror is a flexible and flexible thin sheet made of synthetic resin, the mirror surface is likely to be deformed such as warpage or distortion, but unlike the case of bonding at three or more points, single-point bonding Since the mirror surface is supported only at one point, the mirror surface is in a floating free state except for the bonding point, and the flatness of the mirror surface is maintained by the tension of the self. Further, even in the case of two-point bonding, since the support is made in a state where the degree of freedom is allowed around the axis connecting the two points, the flatness of the mirror surface can be maintained by the tension of the self even in this case. Therefore, no deformation such as warpage or distortion occurs on the mirror surface of the mirror, and an image can be normally displayed. Further, when mounting the mirror, a cushion material is interposed in the adhesive portion, so that the deformation on the mounting receiving side can be absorbed by the cushion material, and the deformation can be softened through the adhesive portion. It can be prevented that the image cannot be normally displayed due to the deformation of the mirror surface, such as warpage or distortion, transmitted to the mirror having the property.
