Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dish frame in which left and right two housing sections and an operation section for releasing a closed state of a vessel body and an outer lid are integrally formed and fitted to the vessel body. The present invention relates to an airtight cosmetic container in which an inner lid for keeping the inside of a storage portion airtight is detachably provided on the plate frame.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As this type of hermetic cosmetic container, there is a container disclosed in, for example, JP-A-10-192043. The hermetic cosmetic container has a container body and a rear end portion of an outer lid pivotally hingedly openable and closable, and a hook means provided at a front end side.

[0003] The interior of the container body is divided into two parts in the front and rear substantially at the center, a makeup storage portion such as a puff is provided on the rear side, and a detachable storage portion for a refill container for storing cosmetics is provided on the front side. ing.

[0004] The refill container is composed of an inner container having a dish portion filled with cosmetics, and an inner lid for sealing the dish portion.

[0005] At the rear end of the inner container, there is provided an inner lid which is pivotally connected by a pin so as to be freely opened and closed. The inner lid presses a packing provided on the outer periphery of the dish portion to keep the inside of the dish portion airtight.

[0006] The refill container is housed in a front storage portion of the container body in a state where the entire periphery is surrounded by a side wall of the container body and is not exposed to the outside from the side of the container body.

The hook means comprises a recess provided at the front end of the container body and opened forward and upward, and an engaging portion which is suspended at the center of the front end of the outer lid and enters the recess. The projections provided are engaged with each other to keep the container body and the outer lid closed. In order to release the closed state, the engaging portion is deflected by the height of the engaged projection to release the engagement.

As a method for releasing the hook means, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 9-140441,
In order to facilitate the release of the engagement portion, a release operation portion made of an independent component is provided in front of the hook means, and when the release operation portion is operated, the engagement portion provided on the outer lid is pushed upward and There is known one that bends to release the engagement between the projections.

[0009]

However, in such a conventional airtight cosmetic container, since the inner lid is attached to the dish portion of the refill container filled with the cosmetic by pin connection, the inner lid can be easily mounted. Can not be removed. Therefore, in order to fill the dish portion with cosmetics in the manufacturing process of the hermetic cosmetic container, when the inner lid is opened with the refill container alone,
The weight balance is poor and it cannot be stably placed. In other words, when the inner lid of an empty refill container that is not filled with cosmetics is fully opened so that the cosmetics can be easily filled, the dish part tilts, and the dish parts are stably kept upward and filled with cosmetics. Therefore, there is a problem that work on a production line is difficult and mass production is difficult.

Further, since the inner lid is supported at the rear end side of the refill container and opens rearward, it overlaps with the outer lid having a mirror,
Since the usable range of the mirror is narrowed, and the opening angle of the inner lid is limited to a small value, there is a problem that it hinders the makeup operation.

Further, the hook means may be provided with a concave portion of the container body,
Since the container body and the outer lid are kept in a closed state by the engagement of the projections provided on the engagement portion suspended from the outer lid, the engagement portion must be engaged with the projections to open the outer lid. It is necessary to deflect by an amount or more to release the engagement, so that an excessive load is applied to the engagement portion and the engagement portion is easily broken. In addition, there is a problem that the container is supported with one hand, the engaging portion is bent with the other hand, and the outer lid is lifted upward, so that it is difficult to open and the usability is poor. In order to improve the usability, if the release operation part is provided as an independent part separate from the container body, middle frame, lid,
As the number of component parts of the cosmetic container increases, the assembling operation of the release operation unit is separately required, and the assembling process of the cosmetic container is complicated, so that the cost of the cosmetic container has to be increased. .

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention improves the filling property of the cosmetic, enables mass production by reducing the number of parts, and stores the cosmetic at the time of using the cosmetic. An object of the present invention is to provide an airtight cosmetic container having improved usability by widely exposing the container.

[0013]

In order to achieve the above object, in the hermetic cosmetic container of the present invention, a container body having a storage portion and a hinge provided at a rear end of the container body are pivotally opened and closed. Hook means provided at the front ends of both the outer lid to be attached, the container body and the outer lid in a closed state, A plate frame integrally formed with two receiving portions, a release operation portion of the hook means, and a supporting portion of the inner lid, and detachably attached to the supporting portion, and any one of the receiving portions is openably and closedly sealed. An inner lid for holding the inside in an airtight state is provided, and an opening is provided in one side wall formed by the container body and the outer lid, and the support is accommodated in the opening.

The operation of the hermetic cosmetic container of the present invention having the above-described structure will be described below. Since the release operation portion of the hook means is formed integrally with the plate frame, the number of components constituting the cosmetic container is reduced. Since there is no assembling operation of the release operation unit, the manufacturing time can be shortened.

[0015] Further, since the inner lid for sealing the one accommodating portion is detachably attached to the plate frame, the inner lid can be removed and the dish frame having the accommodating portion can be handled alone during the filling operation of the cosmetic. It is possible to fill the cosmetics while keeping the plate frame stationary in a stable state with the portion facing upward, and work efficiently, and work in a line for easy mass production.

Further, since the supporting portion of the inner lid is accommodated in the opening formed by the container main body and the outer lid, when the inner lid is opened, the inner lid moves from the container main body to the outside, and the upper lid is moved upward. The inner lid does not remain and the cosmetic can be exposed on the upper surface, and the inner lid does not interfere.

Further, since the opening is provided on one side wall where the hinge and the hook means are not provided, and the supporting portion of the inner lid is arranged on the side, the inner lid can be opened and closed in the horizontal direction, and the The inner lid does not become an obstacle when used as in the case of opening, and the outer lid and the inner lid having a mirror do not overlap as in the case of opening backward, so that the field of view of the mirror is not obstructed and the accommodation part is wide. Can be exposed. Therefore, the cosmetic can be smoothly adhered to the makeup tool, and the operability during handling is improved.
