Description

  The present invention relates to a compact container suitable for containing a highly volatile cosmetic.

Conventionally, as a compact container for storing cosmetics containing a volatile component, in order to maintain the airtightness of the storage part, a screw type type lid is attached to the upper part of the storage part (Patent Document) 1), and a lid in which a packing is incorporated (see Patent Document 2) and the like in which the lid is brought into close contact with the opening of the accommodating portion by engagement.
Japanese Patent No. 3397502 JP-A-8-126521

  However, all of these compact containers have a complicated structure, a high manufacturing cost, and a problem that the container becomes heavier and bulky, and thus is less convenient than a normal one. Moreover, in order to maintain airtightness, it is necessary to firmly fasten the lid of the cosmetic container, but it is not easy to release it at the time of use, and it requires a lot of labor. .

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an excellent compact container that has a simple structure, is easy to use, and can sufficiently secure the airtightness of the cosmetic container. .

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a container body in which a cylindrical wall for containing cosmetics stands upright from the bottom surface, and an upper surface opening of the container body is closably opened and closed, and the cylindrical wall of the container body A lid provided with a cylindrical engagement wall that can be engaged with one end, and a hinge part that is hinged to the rear end of the container body at one end, and the other end is externally fitted to the engagement wall of the lid And a lid guide formed in a lid support portion that rotatably supports the lid in the horizontal direction, and a ridge A that extends intermittently in the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall of the container body. Is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the engagement wall of the lid body, and the protrusion B extending intermittently in the circumferential direction is formed from the position where the upper surface opening of the container body is covered. In a state where it is rotated and shifted by a predetermined angle in the horizontal direction, the engagement of the protrusions A and B is released, and the lid body is hinged. When the lid is moved from its position to a position that covers the upper surface opening of the container body, the ridge B enters and engages the lower side of the ridge A. The first gist is a compact container in which the lid is kept closed.

  In addition, the present invention is a compact in which the packing for making the inside air-tight when the engagement with the cylindrical wall of the container body is provided at the base of the inner peripheral surface of the engagement wall of the lid. The container is a second gist.

  That is, the compact container of the present invention is provided with an engaging wall that can be engaged with a cylindrical cosmetic container provided on the container body side directly on the lid, and this lid is hinged to the container body. The lid body guides the lid so as to be pivotable in the horizontal direction, and pivots the lid body in the horizontal direction like an arm, thereby releasing the engagement between the cosmetic container and the engagement wall. Can be opened and closed. Therefore, even if the engaging portion is tightened so that the cosmetic container is airtight, the lever can be easily released by the lever principle, which is easy to use. And the structure is simple and the manufacturing cost is not so high. Furthermore, since the lid is not directly hinged to the container main body and can be greatly opened above the container main body, there is an advantage that the hand enters the back of the container main body and the workability is good. And when the mirror is provided in the inner surface of the cover body, it has an advantage that it is easy to look into the mirror and make makeup easily.

  Further, among the compact containers, in particular, those provided with a packing for airtightly sealing the inside when engaging with the cylindrical wall of the container main body at the base of the inner peripheral surface of the engagement wall of the lid body. The airtightness of the cosmetic container can be further improved, which is more preferable.

  Next, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing the best mode for carrying out the compact container of the present invention. Moreover, the front view which shows the state which assembled these and put the hinge part down is shown to Fig.2 (a), and the bottom view is shown to the same figure (b).

  In these figures, first, reference numeral 1 denotes a container body having a substantially oval shape in plan view, and a cylindrical wall 2 for containing cosmetics and cosmetic accessories such as a cosmetic puff and a cosmetic brush upward from the bottom surface thereof. An annular wall 3 for housing is erected in a state of being arranged side by side. And the outer peripheral surface of the said cylindrical wall 2 is formed with the protrusion A extended intermittently in the circumferential direction, and it engages with the protrusion B provided in the engaging wall 6 by the side of the lid 5 mentioned later. It is like that. A notch recess 4 for hinge connection is formed at the rear end of the container body 1 (front side in FIG. 1 and lower side in FIG. 2A).

  Next, 5 is a lid that covers the upper surface of the container body 1, and a cylindrical engagement wall 6 that can be engaged with the cylindrical wall 2 of the container body 1 is formed downward from the ceiling surface. Yes. A protrusion B extending intermittently in the circumferential direction is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the engagement wall 6 and engages with the protrusion A provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall 2 on the container body 1 side. (See FIG. 3). In addition, the mirror 7 is affixed on the part in which the said engagement wall 6 is not formed among the ceiling surfaces of the said cover body 5 (refer FIG. 4, FIG. 5).

  Further, 8 is a lid guide disposed between the container body 1 and the lid body 5, and one end side is formed at the hinge portion 9 for hinge connection with the rear end portion of the container body 1, and the other end. The side is formed in a lid support portion 10 that is fitted on the engagement wall 6 of the lid 5 and rotatably supports the lid 5 in the horizontal direction. The hinge part 9 is inserted into the notch recess 4 of the container body 1 and is inserted into the container body 1 by hinge pins 11 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) respectively inserted from the left and right ends of the rear part. 1 is attached so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction. Further, a protrusion 10a extending in the circumferential direction is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the lid support portion 10, while the outer peripheral surface of the engagement wall 6 fitted inside is formed in the circumferential direction. An extending groove 6a is formed. Therefore, when the protrusion 10a and the groove 6a are lightly engaged, the cover 5 is prevented from coming off from the cover guide 8.

  According to the above configuration, normally, as shown in FIG. 3, the cylindrical wall 2 of the container body 1 and the engagement wall 6 of the lid 5 are engaged by engaging the protrusions A and B with each other. Then, the cosmetic container is hermetically sealed in the cylindrical wall 2 and the lid 1 is closed. In use, the lid 5 is rotated in the horizontal direction like an arm to release the engagement, and the lid The body 5 can be opened integrally with the lid guide 8 by rotating in the vertical direction (see FIG. 5). Then, as in the case of using a normal compact container, for example, makeup such as applying cosmetics to the face using the puff 12 accommodated in the annular wall 3 can be performed. At this time, the lid 5 is not directly hinged to the container main body 1 and is greatly opened above the container main body 1, so that the hand enters the back side of the container main body 1 and the workability is good. And it has the advantage that it is easy to look into the mirror 7 provided on the inner surface of the lid 5 and to make makeup easily.

  Further, when a lot of volatile components are blended in the cosmetic and high airtightness is required during storage, it is necessary to set so that the engagement between the cylindrical wall 2 and the engagement wall 6 is tightly formed. In this case, the lever can be easily released by the lever principle, so that it is easy to use. And it has the advantage that the structure is simple and the manufacturing cost is not so high.

  In addition, in this invention, in order to improve the airtightness of a cosmetics accommodating part, as shown in FIG. 6, the annular packing which consists of an elastic body in the engaging wall 6 inner peripheral surface root part of the cover body 5 is shown, for example. 20 can be pasted.

  Further, instead of the packing 20 as described above, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, a flexible inward flange piece 21 is extended to the base portion of the inner peripheral surface of the engagement wall 6. You may make it improve airtightness.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, the configuration of the portion that hinge-connects the container body 1 and the lid guide 8 is not limited to the above example, and any hinge structure conventionally used for opening and closing a compact container is used. There is no problem.

  And this invention does not necessarily need to be used for the use as which high airtightness is requested | required. The mechanism for opening and closing the lid 5 is not only interesting, but, as already mentioned, the lid 5 can be opened largely upward from the upper surface of the container body 1, so that it is easier to use than a normal compact container. Because it is good.

It is a disassembled perspective view of one Example of this invention. (A) is the front view of the said Example, (b) is the bottom view. It is AA 'sectional drawing of Fig.2 (a). It is BB 'sectional drawing of Fig.2 (a). It is explanatory drawing of the usage condition of the said Example. It is a fragmentary sectional view which shows the modification of the said Example. It is a fragmentary sectional view which shows the other modification of the said Example.
