Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic container.

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 11, a compact that accommodates and carries solid cosmetics (molded cosmetics) such as a foundation has been on the market. This compact includes a container body 41 having a puff housing recess 42 and a decorative dish housing recess 43 formed in the front and back on the upper surface, and a lid body 44 that covers the upper surface of the container body 41. A rear end portion 44a of the lid body 44 is hinge-connected to a recess 41a provided at the rear end portion. In addition, a pair of left and right recesses 43a (see FIG. 12, only one recess 43a is shown in FIG. 12) are formed in the decorative dish receiving recess 43 so as to face each other. The elastic plates 45 are erected from the bottom surfaces of both the concave portions 43a, and the convex portions 45a are projected from the upper end portions of the two elastic plates 45. Further, a protrusion (not shown) is formed on the side surface of the decorative dish receiving recess 43. And in the state which accommodated the makeup | decoration dish 46 in the said makeup | decoration dish accommodation recessed part 43, the left-right paired recessed part 46a (refer FIG. 13) formed in the convex part 45a of the said both elastic board 45 on the right-and-left both sides | surfaces In Fig. 13, only one recess 46a is detachably engaged, and a recess (not shown) formed on the rear side of the dressing plate 46 is detachably engaged with the protrusion. doing. As described above, by using the elastic plates 45, the shock absorbing action of the elastic plates 45 is used, so that the compact may be accidentally dropped on the floor during transportation or use, or may be accidentally misplaced while being carried. Even when it is applied to the solid dish 47, the solid cosmetic 47 filled in the decorative dish 46 is prevented from being broken or broken by an impact such as when dropped. Further, the makeup plate 46 can be refilled (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In FIG. 11, 48 is a puff accommodated in the puff accommodating recess 42, and 49 is a hook piece for opening.

  However, in the above-described compact, since the recesses 46a are formed on the left and right side surfaces and the rear side surface of the dressing plate 46, the drop strength of the dressing plate 46 is reduced. In addition, a special mold that can form the recess 46a must be used as a mold for the decorative dish 46, which increases the cost of the mold and increases the compact cost. Therefore, without forming the recesses 46a and the like on the left and right side surfaces and the rear side surface of the dressing plate 46, the solid cosmetic material 47 and the like filled in the dressing plate 46 are prevented from being broken or crushed by an impact such as dropping. In addition, there is a strong demand to provide a cosmetic container that can be refilled with the decorative dish 46.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is possible to prevent the solid cosmetic filled in the inner dish from cracking or breaking without forming a recess or the like on the side surface of the inner dish. Furthermore, the object is to provide a cosmetic container that can be refilled with an intermediate dish.

  In order to achieve the above object, a cosmetic container according to the present invention includes a container main body having an upper dish receiving recess formed on an upper surface thereof, and a lid that covers the container main body. Concave portions are formed on both side portions, and flexible members are arranged in both the concave portions so as to oppose each other. Highly rigid portions are formed on these flexible members. In a state where the parts are brought into contact with opposite sides of the middle dish, the middle dish is clamped and held by the both flexible members and is accommodated in the middle dish accommodating recess, and the high-rigidity part and the middle dish A configuration is adopted in which the middle dish is prevented from coming out upward from the middle dish housing recess due to frictional resistance generated at both contact portions with the opposite side parts.

  That is, the cosmetic container of the present invention includes a container main body having an upper dish receiving recess formed on the upper surface, and a lid that covers the container main body, and the opposite sides of the inner dish receiving recess are opposed to each other. Concave portions are formed, and flexible members in which high-rigidity portions are formed are disposed in both the concave portions so as to face each other. Then, when accommodating and fixing the intermediate dish in the intermediate dish accommodating recess, the intermediate dish is positioned above the intermediate dish accommodating recess, and the intermediate dish is lowered and pushed into the intermediate dish accommodating recess. Do things. As a result, the opposing side portions of the inner plate come into contact with the portions of the flexible members projecting outward from the recess (formed on opposite sides of the inner tray housing recess). After lowering while expanding, the middle pan is allowed to come in contact with the high rigidity portions of both flexible members, and the high rigidity portions of both flexible members are in contact with opposite sides of the middle pan. It is held in the above-described middle dish receiving recess while being pinched and held by a flexible member. In this state, even if the cosmetic container is accidentally dropped on the floor during transportation, etc., and the inner plate tries to move up and down due to this impact, the high rigidity of the both high rigidity parts causes the high rigidity parts to A large frictional resistance is generated at both contact portions between the two high-rigidity parts and the opposite side parts of the middle dish, such as being hardly deformed in the vertical direction. This frictional resistance causes the middle dish to move up and down. This prevents the contact state from coming off, so that the middle dish does not slip upward from the middle dish housing recess.

  On the other hand, when taking out the intermediate dish from the intermediate dish accommodating recess, a hole or the like drilled in the bottom wall of the intermediate dish accommodating recess is used, and a rod or the like is inserted from below the hole or the like. After pushing up the lower surface of the middle dish at the tip, and removing the contact state between the high-rigidity parts of the two flexible members and the opposite side parts of the middle dish, the middle dish is further moved along the two flexible members. It is moved upward and is ejected by jumping out from the above-described dish receiving recess. Thus, in the present invention, it is not necessary to form a recess or the like on the side surface of the intermediate dish, and the intermediate dish can be accommodated and fixed in the intermediate dish accommodating recess using a flexible member formed with a highly rigid portion. Because of this, the drop strength of the pan does not decrease. Moreover, even if the cosmetic container is accidentally dropped on the floor during transportation or use, or is accidentally applied to another object while being carried, the impact of the flexible member will be applied due to the buffering action of the flexible member. Since it can be buffered and transmitted to the inner dish, it is possible to prevent the solid cosmetics filled in the inner dish from cracking or breaking. Moreover, since the intermediate dish can be easily taken out from the intermediate dish accommodating recess, the intermediate dish can be refilled.

  In the present invention, the “flexible member” may be anything as long as it has flexibility. Examples of such a “flexible member” include a leaf spring made of synthetic resin or metal. Further, the flexible member may be manufactured separately from the container main body, or may be integrally formed with the container main body, or the flexible member may be detachably provided on the container main body. Alternatively, it may be fixed to the container body with an adhesive or the like. In addition, the “high rigidity portion” may be anything as long as it has high rigidity. For high rigidity, the pan is moved up and down by, for example, accidentally dropping the cosmetic container on the floor during transportation while the pan is held between both flexible members. Even when trying to do so, the high rigidity portions of the two flexible members come into contact with opposite side portions of the inner plate such that the high rigidity portions of the both high rigidity portions hardly deform in the vertical direction. What is necessary is just to produce a predetermined frictional resistance in the portion. Further, when the intermediate dish is accommodated in the intermediate dish accommodating recess, both opposite side portions of the intermediate dish are lowered while abutting against both the flexible members, and are smoothly held and held by the high rigidity portions. Things are good. As such a “high-rigidity portion”, one having a hardness equivalent to that of metal (for example, iron) is preferable, but when the inner plate is a metal plate, one that is harder than the metal material of this metal plate If the inner dish is a resin dish, it may be harder than the resin material of the resin dish. In addition, by forming the entire flexible member with high rigidity, a high rigidity portion may be provided on a part of the flexible member (for example, the tip), or a part of the flexible member (for example, for example, Only the tip portion may be formed in the highly rigid portion. In this case, the part of the flexible member and the other part may be molded from resin materials having different rigidity, and after forming the entire flexible member with high rigidity, a fine groove is formed in the other part. You may make it provide a softness | flexibility by forming.

  In addition, both the flexible members have claw portions extending in a downwardly inclined manner from the back side of the recess toward the outside of the recess, and the leading end portions of both the claw portions are formed with high rigidity, and the inside of the dish receiving recess is If it is configured such that the tip portions of the two claw portions are brought into contact with the opposite side portions of the accommodated inner plate with the downward inclination, both the claws extend in the downward inclination even if the intermediate plate moves upward. Since the opposite side parts of the inner plate can be pressed downward at the tip of the part, a large frictional resistance is generated at the contacted part, and this large frictional resistance causes the cosmetic container to be accidentally placed on the floor during transportation. Even when it is dropped, the middle dish can be prevented from coming out of the middle dish housing recess.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a cosmetic container according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a synthetic resin container body, 2 is a synthetic resin lid body for covering the container body 1, and 3 is filled with a solid cosmetic (molded cosmetic) 3a such as a foundation. A metal or synthetic resin decorative dish (medium dish) 4 is a puff. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the container main body 1 has a substantially rectangular decorative dish receiving recess (inner dish receiving recess) 1 a on the upper surface of which the decorative dish 3 is stored and fixed, and the puff. 4 is formed, and four corners (the front right corner and the left rear corner facing each other, and the right rear facing each other) of the decorative dish housing recess 1a are formed. A leaf spring arrangement in which metal leaf springs (flexible members) 11 (only two leaf springs 11 facing each other are shown in FIG. 3) are disposed at the corners on the side and the corner on the left front side. The installation recessed part 12 is formed so that it may extend outside along the two diagonals of the said cosmetic dish accommodation recessed part 1a from each said corner | angular part. Each leaf spring 11 is bonded to and fixed to the back side surface of each leaf spring disposing recess 12 (the back side surface is formed as a flat surface), and the vertical piece portion 11a It consists of a pressing piece (claw part) 11b that extends downwardly from the upper end part toward the outside of the concave part 12 for disposing the leaf spring (that is, the inside of the decorative dish housing concave part 1a) (see FIG. 4). ), The leaf springs 11 on the right front side and the left rear side face each other, and the leaf springs 11 on the right rear side and the left front side face each other. Further, since each of the leaf springs 11 is made of metal, the whole (of course, the tip end of each of the pressing piece portions 11b) is formed with high rigidity. The tip portions of the pressing piece portions 11b are in pressure contact with the four corners of the vanity plate 3 in a downwardly inclined posture in a state where the vanity plate 3 is accommodated in the vanity receiving portion 1a. I am doing so.

  Further, a small hole 14 for inserting a rod or the like (not shown) is formed in the left end portion of the bottom wall of the decorative dish receiving recess 1a, and when the decorative dish 3 is taken out from the decorative dish receiving recess 1a. Used for Further, a front notch recess 16 is formed in the front end portion of the container body 1 at the center in the left-right direction, and a hook piece 17 for opening the lid is rotatable in the front notch recess 16. It is fixed. A rear notch recess 18 is formed in the rear end of the container body 1 at the center in the left-right direction. Hinge shafts (see FIG. 5) are formed on the left and right side walls of the rear notch recess 18. A pair of left and right hinge shaft insertion holes (not shown) through which the two insertion holes (not shown) are inserted are formed to face each other.

  On the other hand, the lid 2 can be detachably attached to an engaging portion 16a (see FIGS. 1 and 2) projecting from the rear side wall of the front notch recess 16 of the container body 1 from the front end portion of the lower surface thereof. An engaged portion 2a (see FIG. 1) to be engaged is projected. In addition, a hinge connecting portion 19 (see FIG. 1) that can be accommodated in the rear notch recess portion 18 of the container body 1 hangs down from the left and right center portion of the rear end portion of the lower surface of the lid body 2. A hinge shaft insertion hole (not shown) through which the hinge shaft (not shown) is inserted is formed in a portion of the hinge connecting portion 19 corresponding to the left and right through holes of the container body 1. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 20 denotes a mirror adhered and fixed to the lower surface of the lid body 2.

  In the above configuration, when the decorative dish 3 is accommodated and fixed in the decorative dish accommodating recess 1a of the container body 1, the decorative dish 3 is positioned above the decorative dish accommodating recess 1a (see FIG. 5), Then, the decorative plate 3 is lowered and pushed into the decorative plate containing recess 1a. As a result, the four corners of the dressing plate 3 come into contact with the pressing piece portions 11b of the leaf springs 11 projecting outward from the recesses 12 for disposing the leaf springs. The inside of the recessed part 1a descends and is placed on the bottom surface of the decorative dish receiving recessed part 1a. In this state, the four corners of the dressing plate 3 are held by the pressing pieces 11b of the leaf springs 11 and are housed in the dressing plate housing recess 1a (see FIGS. 6 and 7). At this time, since the pressing piece portions 11b of the leaf springs 11 are inclined downward, the tip portions of the pressing piece portions 11b are in contact with the four corners of the vanity plate 3 downward, and the above As described above, since the tip of each pressing piece 11b is highly rigid, the cosmetic dish 3 is moved up and down from the cosmetic dish receiving recess 1a by, for example, dropping the cosmetic container on the floor by mistake during transportation. Even if it tries to move, the tip of each of the pressing pieces 11b is not deformed in the vertical direction, so that the contact state is not removed and the dressing plate 3 is prevented from coming out upward.

  On the other hand, when taking out the decorative dish 3 from the decorative dish receiving recess 1a, a stick or the like (not shown) is inserted from below the small hole 14 of the decorative dish receiving recess 1a, and the decorative dish 3 is inserted at the tip of the stick or the like. After the bottom surface is pushed up and the contact state is removed, the dressing plate 3 is further moved upward to jump out of the dressing plate receiving recess 1a and to be taken out from the dressing plate storing recess 1a.

  As described above, in this embodiment, it is not necessary to form a recess or the like on the side surface of the dressing plate 3, and the dressing plate 3 can be housed and fixed in the dressing plate housing recess 1 a using the leaf spring 11. Therefore, the drop strength of the decorative dish 3 does not decrease. In addition, even when the cosmetic container is accidentally dropped on the floor during transportation or use, or when it is accidentally applied to another object while being carried, the cushioning action of each leaf spring 11 causes the cosmetic dish 3 to It is possible to prevent the filled solid cosmetic 3a from being broken or broken. In addition, even if the cosmetic container is accidentally dropped on the floor during transportation or the like, the pressing plate portion 11b of each leaf spring 11 prevents the dressing plate 3 from coming out upward from the dressing plate receiving recess 1a. be able to. In addition, since the decorative dish 3 can be easily taken out from the decorative dish accommodating recess 1a, the decorative dish 3 can be refilled.

  FIG. 8 shows the main part of the container body 1 used in another embodiment of the cosmetic container of the present invention. In this embodiment, the container body 1 is made of synthetic resin (for example, made of a hard resin such as PC (polycarbonate) or POM (polyacetal)), and each leaf spring disposing recess 12 of the vanity receiving recess 1a. The leaf springs 22 (FIG. 8 and FIG. 10 only show two opposite leaf springs 22) are formed integrally with the container body 1 when the container body 1 is formed. is there.
