【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、前端面が開口したケース状の外ケース内に中板をスライドさせて出し入れ可能に収納してなるスライドケースに関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、中皿の端部にピン軸を介して揺動アームを揺動自在に軸着すると共にその先端にピンを植設し、かつこの中皿を収納する外ケースの内部に中央部溝とフック状溝とを連設して設け、前記揺動アームのピンをフック状溝に導入して係合するように構成したスライドケースがあった（例えば、特許文献１参照）。
【０００３】
また、外ケースと中皿との相隣接する面の何れかの一方に係合手段を有する揺動アームを揺動自在に一体的に突設し、かつ相対向する他方の面に該揺動アームを揺動させながら案内し得る湾曲ガイド溝と前記係合手段と係合する係合手段とを設けて構成したスライドケースがあった（例えば、特許文献２参照）。

【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、上記従来のスライドケースでは、揺動アームが固定された一端を中心に他端を回動するよう構成されている。このため、中板後端おいてスライド方向に揺動アームの長さ分のスペースが必要となり、中板後端の大きな面積が外ケース内に残ってしまい、中板を突出させて使用する使用面積が限られてしまうという問題があった。
【０００６】
そこで本発明は、スライドケース後端おいてスライド方向の長さを短くでき、中板を突出させて使用する使用面積を増やすことができるスライドケースを提供することを目的とする。
【０００７】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために本発明に係るスライドケースは、前端面が開口したケース状の外ケース内に中板をスライドさせて出し入れ可能に収納してなるスライドケースにおいて、前記中板の後端に前記中板を前方へ付勢する付勢手段を設け、前記中板は該中板のスライド方向と交差する方向に形成された摺動溝と、ピンが突設され、前記摺動溝に沿って移動可能な摺動部材を有し、前記外ケースは前記ピンが係合する直線溝部と、フック状溝部と回帰溝部とによりなる環状の溝部を連続して形成した案内溝を有し、前記中板を前記外ケース内へ前記付勢手段に抗して押圧すると、前記摺動部材の前記ピンが前記案内溝の前記直線溝部から前記フック状溝部へ案内され、この押圧を解除すると前記付勢手段の働きによって前記フック状溝部と係合して前記中板は前記外ケース内に留め置かれ、前記中板を再び前記付勢手段に抗して押圧すると前記ピンが前記フック状溝部から前記回帰溝部に案内され、この押圧を解除すると前記付勢手段の働きにより前記ピンが前記回帰溝部を通り直線溝部に案内され、前記中板が前記外ケースの前端開口から前方へ押出されるよう構成したことを特徴とする。
【０００８】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明に係るスライドケースの実施形態について、図を用いて説明する。図１に示すように、スライドケース１は、外ケース２、中板３から構成されている。
【０００９】
ケース状の外ケース２は、前端面に開口部２ａを有し、外ケース２内に中板３をスライドさせて出し入れ可能に収納する。開口部２ａ近傍のスライド方向と直交するケース幅方向両端の側面には抵抗部材５が設けられている。抵抗部材５は中央が中板３を付勢するように湾曲した板バネであり、一端５ａを外ケース２に固定し、他端５ｂを移動可能としている。
【００１０】
中板３は、化粧料等を収納する凹部３ａを有し、前端面に３を外ケース２から引き出すための把手６を形成しており、中板３を外ケース２から引出した際に凹部３ａが外ケース２外に露出するよう形成されている。また、図２、図３に示すように、凹部３ａの裏面には凹部３ｂが形成され、凹部３ｂには鏡４が装着されている。
【００１１】
中板３の背面と外ケース２の奥面との間には、中板３を前方へ付勢する付勢手段としてのバネ７が設けられている。図３に示す中板３が外ケース２に収納された後退位置から図２に示す中板３が外ケース２から引き出された引き出し位置となるように、バネ７が中板３を付勢している。なお、バネ７の代わりにゴム、スポンジ、磁石等を用いて中板３を付勢してもよい。
【００１２】
中板３は、底面の凹部３ａ、凹部３ｂより後端側に、中板３のスライド方向（矢印Ｘ方向）と交差するケース幅方向（矢印Ｙ方向）を長手方向とする摺動溝３ｃを形成している。摺動溝３ｃには摺動溝３ｃに沿って移動可能な摺動部材８がはめ込まれている。摺動部材８はケース幅方向中央かつスライド方向奥側にピン８ａを突設し、ピン８ａの先端は外ケース２の底面よりも下方へ突出している。
【００１３】
外ケース２は、底面にピン８ａが係合する案内溝２ｂを有している。案内溝２ｂは、直線溝部Ａと、環状の溝部（フック状溝部Ｂと回帰溝部Ｃ）を連続して形成している。フック状溝部Ｂと回帰溝部Ｃの間にはピン８ａに当接して案内する「へ」字状の案内突片２ｃが形成されている。
【００１４】
直線溝部Ａはスライド方向に延びた直線状の溝であり、フック状溝部Ｂは直線溝部Ａのスライド方向後端からフック状に屈曲した溝であり、回帰溝部Ｃはフック状溝部Ｂから後方へ迂回湾曲して直線溝部Ａに連通する溝である。
【００１５】
ここで、中板３の収納、引き出し動作について説明する。図４に示すように、まず、中板３を引き出し位置から外ケース２内へバネ７に抗して押圧すると、摺動部材８のピン８ａが案内溝２ｂの直線溝部Ａを通って案内突片２ｃに当たり、フック状溝部Ｂへ移動するようにケース幅方向に変位する。この際、摺動部材８はピン８ａの移動に伴って摺動溝３ｃに沿ってケース幅方向に変位する。
【００１６】
ここで、中板３に加えていた押圧力を除去すると、バネ７の付勢力が効いてピン８ａはフック状溝部Ｂの壁面Ｂ１に沿ってフック部Ｂ２に係止され、中板３が後退位置に固定され、外ケース２に収納された状態となる。この後退位置において、ピン８ａはフック部Ｂ２と係合するため中板３が外ケース２から不用意に滑り出ることはない。
【００１７】
次に、再び中板３をバネ７に抗して押圧すると、ピン８ａが回帰溝部Ｃの壁面Ｃ１に沿って角部Ｃ２に変位する。ここで、中板３に加えていた押圧力を除去すると、バネ７の付勢力が効いてピン８ａは回帰溝部Ｃの壁面Ｃ３に沿って直線溝部Ａへ押し出される。このピン８ａの移動に伴って、摺動部材８は摺動溝３ｃに沿ってケース幅方向に変位する。
【００１８】
そして、直線溝部Ａへ押し出されたピン８ａは、バネ７の付勢力により直線溝部Ａのスライド方向前端へ移動し、中板３が開口部２ａから外ケース２外に押し出される。中板３が外ケース２外に押し出される際に、抵抗部材５が中板３を付勢しているため、中板３と外ケース２ががたつくことがない。また、中板３に押圧された抵抗部材５の変形にあわせて他端５ｂが変位するため、中板３に所定値以上の圧力がかかることを防止し、中板３の適当な押し出し速度で中板３を押し出すことができる。
【００１９】
使用者は、このように、中板３の大きな部分が、外ケース２より露出するので、内部の凹部３ａに収納された化粧料及びその裏面に装着された鏡４を使って化粧することができる。
【００２０】
化粧後、上述のごとく、中板３を外ケース２内に押し込んでピン８ａをフック部Ｂ２に係止させることで、中板３が不用意に滑り出す心配なく、スライドケース１をハンドバック等に入れて持ち運ぶことができる。
【００２１】
以上説明したように、中板３には中板３のスライド方向と交差する方向に形成された摺動溝３ｃと、ピン８ａが突設され、摺動溝３ｃに沿って移動可能な摺動部材８を設け、外ケース２にはピン８ａが係合する直線溝部Ａと、フック状溝部Ｂと回帰溝部Ｃとによりなる環状の溝部を連続して形成した案内溝２ｂを設け、中板３を外ケース２に出し入れ可能に構成した。これにより、中板３には凹部３ａ以外にスライドケースの後端において摺動溝３ｃの幅分のスペースを取ればよく、中板３を突出させて使用する化粧料、鏡４を使用面積を増やすことができる。
【００２２】
また、摺動部材８はケース幅方向中央かつスライド方向奥側にピン８ａを突設したことにより、中板３の突き出し面積をより大きくすることができ、使用面積をさらに増やすことができる。
【００２３】
尚、本実施形態にかかるスライドケース１の中板３は化粧料等を収納する凹部３ａ、と鏡４を装着する凹部３ｂとを有するものとして説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、化粧料等のみ、または、鏡４のみを有するものであってもよい。
【００２４】
また、中板３のスライド方向後端に、抵抗部材５と係合する凹部等のストッパ機構を設け、中板３が外ケース２から出た状態で固定されるような構成としてもよい。
【００２５】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、中板には該中板のスライド方向と交差する方向に形成された摺動溝と、ピンが突設され、前記摺動溝に沿って移動可能な摺動部材を設け、外ケースには前記ピンが係合する直線溝部と、フック状溝部と回帰溝部とによりなる環状の溝部を連続して形成した案内溝を設け、中板を外ケースに出し入れ可能に構成した。これにより、中板３には使用面積以外にスライドケースの後端において摺動溝の幅分のスペースを取ればよく、中板を突出させて使用する使用面積を増やすことができる。
【００２６】
また、外ケースの開口部に中板をスライド方向と直交する方向に付勢する抵抗部材を設けたことにより、中板と外ケースのがたつきを防止し、中板の押し出し速度を調整することができる。

[0008]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
An embodiment of a slide case according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the slide case 1 includes an outer case 2 and a middle plate 3.
[0009]
The case-shaped outer case 2 has an opening 2a on the front end surface, and the middle plate 3 is slidably housed in the outer case 2 so as to be taken in and out. Resistance members 5 are provided on both sides in the case width direction orthogonal to the sliding direction near the opening 2a. The resistance member 5 is a leaf spring whose center is curved so as to urge the middle plate 3, and has one end 5a fixed to the outer case 2 and the other end 5b movable.
[0010]
The middle plate 3 has a concave portion 3a for accommodating cosmetics and the like, and a handle 6 for pulling out the 3 from the outer case 2 is formed on the front end surface. 3 a is formed so as to be exposed outside the outer case 2. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a concave portion 3b is formed on the back surface of the concave portion 3a, and a mirror 4 is mounted on the concave portion 3b.
[0011]
A spring 7 is provided between the rear surface of the middle plate 3 and the back surface of the outer case 2 as urging means for urging the middle plate 3 forward. The spring 7 urges the middle plate 3 so that the middle plate 3 shown in FIG. 3 is pulled out of the outer case 2 from the retracted position where the middle plate 3 is stored in the outer case 2. ing. Note that the middle plate 3 may be biased by using rubber, sponge, magnet, or the like instead of the spring 7.
[0012]
The middle plate 3 has a sliding groove 3c having a longitudinal direction in the case width direction (arrow Y direction) intersecting with the sliding direction of the middle plate 3 (arrow X direction) on the rear end side of the concave portions 3a and 3b on the bottom surface. Has formed. A sliding member 8 that can move along the sliding groove 3c is fitted in the sliding groove 3c. The sliding member 8 has a pin 8 a protruding from the center in the case width direction and the back side in the sliding direction, and the tip of the pin 8 a protrudes below the bottom surface of the outer case 2.
[0013]
The outer case 2 has a guide groove 2b on the bottom surface with which the pin 8a is engaged. The guide groove 2b has a straight groove portion A and an annular groove portion (a hook-shaped groove portion B and a return groove portion C) formed continuously. Between the hook-shaped groove portion B and the return groove portion C, there is formed a "L" -shaped guide protrusion 2c which comes into contact with and guides the pin 8a.
[0014]

Next, when the middle plate 3 is pressed again against the spring 7, the pin 8a is displaced to the corner C2 along the wall surface C1 of the return groove C. Here, when the pressing force applied to the middle plate 3 is removed, the biasing force of the spring 7 is effective, and the pin 8a is pushed out to the linear groove portion A along the wall surface C3 of the return groove portion C. With the movement of the pin 8a, the sliding member 8 is displaced in the case width direction along the sliding groove 3c.
[0018]
The pin 8a pushed into the linear groove A moves to the front end in the sliding direction of the linear groove A by the urging force of the spring 7, and the intermediate plate 3 is pushed out of the outer case 2 from the opening 2a. When the middle plate 3 is pushed out of the outer case 2, the resistance member 5 urges the middle plate 3, so that the middle plate 3 and the outer case 2 do not rattle. Further, since the other end 5b is displaced in accordance with the deformation of the resistance member 5 pressed by the middle plate 3, it is possible to prevent the pressure above the predetermined value from being applied to the middle plate 3, and to set the middle plate 3 at an appropriate pushing speed. The middle plate 3 can be extruded.
[0019]
Since the large portion of the middle plate 3 is exposed from the outer case 2 in this way, the user can make up using the cosmetics stored in the internal recess 3a and the mirror 4 attached to the back surface. it can.
[0020]
After the makeup, as described above, the middle plate 3 is pushed into the outer case 2 and the pin 8a is engaged with the hook portion B2, so that the slide case 1 is put in a handbag or the like without worrying that the middle plate 3 slips carelessly. Can be carried around.
[0021]
As described above, the sliding groove 3c formed in the direction intersecting with the sliding direction of the middle plate 3 and the pin 8a protrude from the middle plate 3, and the sliding that can move along the sliding groove 3c. The outer case 2 is provided with a guide groove 2b in which a linear groove A in which a pin 8a is engaged, and an annular groove formed by a hook-shaped groove B and a return groove C are formed continuously. Is configured to be able to be taken in and out of the outer case 2. Thus, the middle plate 3 may have a space corresponding to the width of the sliding groove 3c at the rear end of the slide case in addition to the concave portion 3a. Can be increased.
[0022]
In addition, since the sliding member 8 has the pin 8a protruding at the center in the width direction of the case and at the back side in the sliding direction, the area of protrusion of the middle plate 3 can be increased, and the use area can be further increased.
[0023]
Although the middle plate 3 of the slide case 1 according to the present embodiment has been described as having the concave portion 3a for storing cosmetics and the like and the concave portion 3b for mounting the mirror 4, the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, it may have only cosmetics or the like or only the mirror 4.
[0024]
Further, a stopper mechanism such as a concave portion that engages with the resistance member 5 may be provided at the rear end of the middle plate 3 in the sliding direction, and the middle plate 3 may be fixed in a state of being protruded from the outer case 2.
