2. Description of the Related Art As a representative example of a conventional compact container, a refill container as an inner plate having an inner lid as an opening / closing lid is detachably assembled in a cassette shape into a cosmetic container as an outer case. JP-A-09-09882
No. 9 is known.

In the compact container disclosed in the prior art, a refill container is removably housed left and right by a partition wall in a case body in which a container body and a lid body are hinged so as to be freely opened and closed. It is divided into a detachable storage section and a makeup storage section, and the detachable storage section has a cylindrical structure without a bottom wall so that the thickness of the entire compact container can be made as small as possible. Hinge part,
By facing the notch formed in the side wall of the container body and operating the hinge portion of the refill container to attach and detach the refill container, safe and smooth attachment and detachment processing of the refill container can be obtained. Like that.

According to the above-mentioned prior art, the entire container can be made thinner and the safety of the refill container at the time of attachment / detachment operation can be enhanced. Because it is a structure to be installed, it will be absolutely large in a plane, so if you dislike it, even if the thickness becomes large to a certain extent, attach it to the detachable storage part with an open lower surface to make it sufficiently small in a plane On the refill container
A configuration in which a makeup storage section is formed has been proposed.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned prior art, since the lower surface of the opened detachable storage portion is the lower surface of the entire case, when the case is locked in the closed position, that is, when the container body is closed. When engaging the open / close locking function formed at the center of the front end of the lid, a fingertip for applying a pressing force toward the lid to the container body is exposed on the open lower surface of the container body. Abutting against the front end portion of the lower surface of the refill container to exert a lifting force, thereby deteriorating the engagement of the refill container with the container body;
There was a problem.

As described above, if the engagement of the refill container with the container body is deteriorated, the case cannot be stably held in the closed position, and the refill container cannot be safely stored and held. And cannot be used for opening and closing.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, and the deterioration of the engagement of the refill container with the container main body due to a part of the closing operation force of the fingertip with respect to the case. It is an object of the present invention to prevent the occurrence of the occurrence, and to obtain a secure and stable closed state of the case, and also to obtain a safe storage and holding of the refill container by the case.

[0008]

Means for Solving the Problems In the present invention for solving the above technical problems, the means according to the first aspect of the present invention is to provide a bottom inner flange piece around the opening edge of the lower end so as to prevent it from falling out. A case lid, which is an outer lid, is hinged to the rear end of the ring-shaped case main body that forms a storage section that is open to the door so that it can be opened and closed freely,
A case with an open / close locking function to maintain the closed position between the case body and the tip of the case lid, and a detachable fitting assembly to the storage section of the case body to tightly open and close cosmetics. A refill container, and a detachable assembly of the refill container with respect to the storage portion of the case body of the case, achieving the plurality of assembling locking function portions,
Separately from the assembling locking function portion, the storage portion of the case main body and the front end portion of the refill container located near the opening and closing locking function portion between the case body and the case lid, in the detaching direction of the refill container. The present invention is to provide a detachment prevention locking function portion which exerts a strong locking force against the movement of the moving object.

The refill container is inserted into the storage portion formed in the case body of the case in such a manner that the lower peripheral edge is locked to the bottom inner flange piece so that it cannot be pulled out downward. The insertion assembled state is stably held by the locking force of the attached locking function portion and the detachment prevention locking function portion.

[0010] Opening and closing of the case is performed by releasing and achieving the locking of the opening / closing locking function part. When the case is brought into the closed position, the tip of the case body and the case lid are pinched by a fingertip. This is generally achieved.

At this time, even if a part of the holding force applied to the lower surface of the case body acts on the lower surface of the refill container as a force for detaching the refill container from the case body, that is, as a pushing-up force, Since the lower part of the refill container on which a part of the force acts is the front end part close to the disengagement prevention locking function, the refill container is not detached from the case body by the disengagement prevention locking function. The case can be brought to the closed posture while maintaining the stable insertion assembly of the refill container with respect to the main body.

When the inserted and assembled refill container is detached from the case body, a pushing force is applied to the rear half of the lower surface of the refill container exposed on the lower surface of the case body to engage the rear portion of the assembled locking function portion. After the lock is released, the locking between the front side portion of the assembled locking function portion and the detachment prevention locking function portion is released to achieve the locking.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a structure in which the assembled locking function portion according to the first aspect of the present invention is disposed at four locations in the left, right, oblique and front and rear directions. The configuration is such that it is arranged at a position located forward of the functional unit.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the assembling locking portions are arranged at four positions on the left, right, oblique and front and rear sides, the assembling locking force acts substantially uniformly over the entire circumference of the refill container. In such a state, it is possible to obtain a sufficient space for providing the detachment prevention locking function portion at the front end of the refill container.

[0015] Further, since the detachment prevention locking function portion is located on the front side of the assembled locking function portion, when a pushing force is applied to the front half of the lower surface of the refill container, this pushing force is released. Department will take the strongest,
Thereby, the detachment prevention locking function portion functions most effectively against the pushing force acting on the front half of the lower surface of the refill container.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided an assembling locking portion in which the assembled locking function portion according to the first aspect of the present invention protrudes from an inner peripheral surface forming a housing portion of a case body, and a refill container. The tongue is attached to the outer surface of the tongue and is attached to the outer surface of the tongue. It is composed of a locking piece and a detachment prevention recess formed in the outer peripheral surface of the refill container.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the assembled locking piece, which is a functional portion of the assembled locking function section on the refill container side, is provided on the elastically deformable tongue piece, By elastically deforming the tongue piece, the engagement assembly of the refill container to the case body can be relatively easily released.

On the other hand, the slip-off preventing piece and the slip-off preventing recess forming the slip-preventing and locking function portion are not elastically deformed or hardly elastically deformed.
In the state where the refill container is properly inserted and assembled in the storage part of the case body, the detachment prevention locking function part exerts extremely strong locking force, and even if a pushing force acts on the lower half of the lower part of the refill container, Ensuring a stable engagement of the refill container with the case body.
