Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic container in which a decorative dish storage portion is formed on a container body, and in particular, a spring force of an engaging piece engaged with an outer peripheral surface of the decorative dish and a pressing force to stably hold the decorative dish. The present invention relates to a cosmetic container capable of individually setting the spring force of a piece.

  An example of a cosmetic container in which a decorative dish storage unit on which a replaceable decorative dish is detachably mounted is formed in the container body and the decorative dish is stably held in a mounted state is disclosed in, for example, Patent Literature 1 is known.

  The cosmetic container of Patent Document 1 is a cosmetic container that includes a container body and a lid that is hinged to the container body so that the container body is openable and closable. Two storage parts are formed in the body via a partition, one of which is formed as a decorative dish storage part, while an engaging groove is formed on the outer periphery of the decorative dish, A first engagement protrusion that can be engaged with the engagement groove of the dish is formed. Furthermore, a plurality of engaging pieces (“claws”) that are partitioned on both sides by vertical slits extending in the up-down direction are formed on the inner surface of the decorative dish storage portion facing the partition wall, and the lower ends of the engaging pieces Is formed at the free end, and on the inner surface thereof is formed a second engagement protrusion that can be engaged with the engagement groove of the decorative dish. Between these engagement pieces, the lower end is a free end, which is an elastically deformable pressing piece ("holding wall") having a larger spring force than the engaging piece. A protrusion having a protrusion amount smaller than that of the second engagement protrusion is provided. The convex portion presses the decorative dish in the direction of the first engaging protrusion in a state where the engaging groove of the decorative dish is engaged with the first and second engaging protrusions and the decorative dish is attached to the decorative dish storage section. By doing so, the engagement state of the decorative dish is stably held.

Further, when the decorative tray is mounted in the decorative tray storage portion, the lower end of the decorative tray presses against the upper surface of the second engagement protrusion, and the lower end side of the engagement piece is elastically deformed outward and pushed open. The dish is pushed in from above. When detaching the decorative dish from the decorative dish storage unit, first, the decorative dish is horizontally moved to the opposite side of the partition wall by pressing the pressing piece outward through the convex portion with the outer peripheral surface of the decorative dish. It is made to move, thereby releasing the engagement between the first engaging protrusion and the engaging groove, and the vanity plate is lifted and detached while being inclined obliquely so that the first engaging protrusion side is upward. .
Japanese Patent No. 3561560

  By the way, in the above background art, the spring force indicating the degree of elastic deformation of the engagement piece and the pressing piece or the strength of pressing back the decorative dish is set so that the pressing piece is larger. However, in reality, since the spring force of the engaging piece or the pressing piece changes depending on the shape, position, size, etc. of the engaging piece or the pressing piece, the spring force of the pressing piece is not necessarily the same as that of the background art. There is no need to set it to be greater than the force. In any case, however, each spring force is set to have an appropriate strength in each case such as when the vanity plate is attached to the vanity storage unit, when it is attached and stably held, and when it is detached. There was a need.

  Specifically, for example, with respect to the engagement piece, on the other hand, the second engagement protrusion and the engagement groove are formed so that the operation of mounting the decorative dish becomes smooth and elastically deforms to the outside appropriately. Since the engagement is not easily released, it is necessary to set the spring force to have an appropriate balance so as not to be elastically deformed to the outside excessively easily. In addition, with respect to the pressing piece, on the other hand, an operation for removing the decorative plate is performed so that the decorative plate is not easily elastically deformed outward in order to stably hold the decorative plate in a state where the decorative plate is mounted in the decorative plate storage unit. It is necessary to set the spring force to have an appropriate balance different from that of the engagement piece so as to be elastically deformed to the outside appropriately and flexibly in order to be smooth.

  However, in the above background art, the pressing piece is described as “a holding wall (pressing piece) between the claws (engaging pieces)” (claim 1). By forming a piece, it is automatically formed between them. That is, the engagement piece and the pressing piece are partitioned by the same vertical slit. Therefore, when the length of the vertical slit is adjusted to set the spring force of the engaging piece, the spring force of the pressing piece is automatically set. As a result, the engaging piece or the pressing piece The spring force of each could not be set individually.

  The present invention has been devised in view of the above-described conventional problems, and is a decorative container in which a decorative dish storage portion is formed on a container body, and an engagement piece that is engaged with the outer peripheral surface of the decorative dish. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cosmetic container capable of individually setting a spring force and a spring force of a pressing piece that is pressed to stably hold a decorative dish.

A cosmetic container according to the present invention includes a container main body in which a decorative dish storage portion on which a decorative dish is detachably mounted and a lid body that is hinged to the container main body so as to be openable and closable. A first engaging recess and a second engaging recess are provided on opposite sides of the outer peripheral surface of the decorative dish, respectively, and the first counter part is provided on one side of the inner peripheral surface of the decorative dish storage part. While providing the 1st engagement protrusion which can be engaged with 1 engagement crevice, on the side facing the above-mentioned one side of the inner skin of the above-mentioned vanity storage part,
The first slit portion is partitioned and formed elastically deformable with one end as a free end, and the second slit portion is provided with an engagement piece provided with a second engagement protrusion that can be engaged with the second engagement recess. It is connected to the engagement piece and is formed so as to be elastically deformable with one end as a free end, and is set to a projection amount smaller than that of the second engagement projection and presses the vanity plate in the direction of the first engagement projection. And a pressing piece provided with a convex portion.

  In the cosmetic container according to the present invention, the spring force of the engaging piece that is not engaged with the outer peripheral surface of the decorative dish and the spring force of the pressing piece that is pressed to stably hold the decorative dish are individually provided. It becomes possible to set.

  The dressing plate 7 is also made of synthetic resin, and its planar shape is substantially rectangular along the inner peripheral surface of the dressing plate storage portion 2. The decorative dish 7 is pushed into the decorative dish storage unit 2 from above and attached. The lower end portion 7a of the cosmetic dish 7 on the front end side (hereinafter simply referred to as the front end side) of the cosmetic container 1 and the lower end portion 7b on the rear end side (hereinafter simply referred to as the rear end side) of the cosmetic container 1 are slanted. It has been cut into

  A groove-shaped first engaging recess 11 extending horizontally is formed on the front end side (hereinafter referred to as front end side outer peripheral surface 7 c) of the outer peripheral surface of the decorative dish 7. A second engagement recess 12 having the same dimensions and shape as the first engagement recess 11 is formed on the rear end side (hereinafter referred to as the rear end outer periphery 7d) facing the front end outer periphery 7c. .

  On the front end side (hereinafter, referred to as the front end side inner peripheral surface 2 a), which is one side of the inner peripheral surface of the decorative dish storage portion 2, the first engagement concave portion 11 is positioned at a position corresponding to the first engagement concave portion 11. Two first engaging protrusions 13 that can be engaged are formed. These first engaging protrusions 13 are integrally formed with the inner peripheral surface of the vanity storage part 2 and have a substantially rectangular vertical cross section, but the upper surface extends to the front end side (rear end side). It is cut diagonally to descend.

  The rear end side (hereinafter referred to as the rear end side inner peripheral surface 2b) of the inner peripheral surface of the vanity storage unit 2 facing the front end side inner peripheral surface 2a is lined at a position equidistant from the center to the left and right. Each of the flexible pieces 15 is formed in a symmetrical arrangement and is formed by L-shaped and inverted L-shaped slits so as to be elastically deformable with the upper end as a fixed end. These flexible pieces 15 are configured by connecting two parts to each other. That is, the engaging piece 16 corresponding to the L-shaped vertical line portion and the pressing piece 17 corresponding to the horizontal line portion are connected to each other. The lower end of each flexible piece 15 faces the lower end of the rear end side inner peripheral surface 2b, and the upper end of the flexible piece 15 is about the middle of the rear end side inner peripheral surface 2b in the vertical direction and the upper end. Located at height.

  The engagement piece 16 is defined by the first slit portion 18 so as to be elastically deformable with the upper end portion of the flexible piece 15 as a fixed end and the lower end side as a free end. The first slit portion 18 is composed of two vertical slits and one horizontal slit, and is located closer to the center (hereinafter referred to as the inner side) of the rear end side inner peripheral surface 2b. An inner first slit portion 18a extending vertically from the height of the upper end to the height of the lower end of the rear end side inner peripheral surface 2b, and the left and right ends of the rear end side inner peripheral surface 2b with respect to the inner first slit portions 18a. It is located on the near side (hereinafter referred to as the outer side) and extends from the same height as the upper end of each inner first slit portion 18a to a position slightly above the middle in the vertical direction of each inner first slit portion 18a. 1 slit part 18b and the lower 1st slit part 18c which extends outside from the lower end of the inner side 1st slit part 18a and demarcates the lower side of an engagement piece are comprised. The length of the inner first slit portion 18a determines the length dimension L1 from the fixed end of the engagement piece 16.

  The lower end of each engagement piece 16 faces the lower end of the rear-end-side inner peripheral surface 2b, that is, the bottom surface 2c of the decorative dish storage portion 2, but is positioned slightly above the bottom surface 2c. Therefore, the lower end of the engagement piece 16 is a free end, and the engagement piece 16 can be elastically deformed based on the upper end thereof, that is, the upper end positions of the inner and outer first slit portions 18b. The engaging piece 16 is integrally formed with a second engaging protrusion 14 that can be engaged with the second engaging recess 12 at a height slightly above the lower end and in the middle in the left-right direction. The vertical cross-sectional shape of the second engagement protrusion 14 is substantially rectangular, but its upper surface is cut obliquely so as to descend toward the tip side (front end side).

  A pressing piece 17 is provided integrally with the engaging piece 16 from a portion below the outer first slit portion 18 b of the engaging piece 16. The pressing piece 17 is partitioned by a second slit portion 19 separate from the first slit portion 18 so as to be elastically deformable with the connecting portion with the engaging piece 16 being the inner end portion as a fixed end and the outer end as a free end. Has been. The second slit portion 19 includes two horizontal slits and one vertical slit, and an upper second slit portion 19a that extends laterally outward from the lower end of the outer first slit portion 18b, and a lower first slit. A lower second slit portion 19b extending laterally from the outer end portion of the slit portion 18c, and an outer second slit portion connecting the outer end portions of the upper second slit portion 19a and the lower second slit portion 19b up and down. 19c. The length of the upper second slit portion 19a determines the length dimension L2 from the fixed end of the pressing piece 17.

  The lower end of each pressing piece 17 faces the lower end of the rear-end-side inner peripheral surface 2b, that is, the bottom surface 2c of the decorative dish storage portion 2, but is positioned slightly above the bottom surface 2c, so that the cosmetic container 1 is movable in the front-rear direction. Accordingly, the pressing piece 17 can be elastically deformed with the outer end side as a free end. On the pressing piece 17, a convex portion 20 for pressing the dressing plate 7 in the direction of the first engagement protrusion 13, that is, on the front end side, is integrally formed at a position along the lower end and along the outer end portion. Yes. The vertical cross section of the convex part 20 is a horizontally long rectangular shape.

  The engaging piece 16 and the pressing piece 17 are elastically deformed from the respective fixed ends to the outer side or the inner side of the cosmetic tray storage portion 2, that is, the rear end side or the front end side of the cosmetic container 1 in this embodiment. It is made possible. The setting of the spring force, which is the force indicating the ease of elastic deformation and also the force that pushes back the decorative plate 7 when elastically deformed by the decorative plate 7, sets the length dimensions L1 and L2 from the respective fixed ends. By adjusting, each of the engaging piece 16 and the pressing piece 17 can be performed individually so that each of the engaging piece 16 and the pressing piece 17 has an appropriate spring force.

  Here, when the convex portion 20 is pressed by the decorative dish 7 and the pressing piece 17 is elastically deformed, the pressing force is transmitted to the engaging piece 16 to which the pressing piece 17 is connected regardless of the amount. Therefore, the engagement piece 16 is also elastically deformed somewhat. In other words, the engagement piece 16 does not actually be a complete fixed end for the pressing piece 17 but behaves as a relative fixed end. On the other hand, the upper end portion of the engagement piece 16 is connected to the rear end side inner peripheral surface 2b of the decorative dish storage portion 2, and the rear end side inner peripheral surface 2b is deformed by the elastic deformation of the engagement piece 16. There is no fixed end. Therefore, the elastic deformability of the engaging piece 16 is determined only by the spring force of the engaging piece 16, but the elastic deformability of the pressing piece 17 is determined by the spring force of the pressing piece 17 itself and the spring force of the engaging piece 16. Determined in combination. Therefore, in order to set the spring force of the pressing piece 17 by adjusting the length dimension L2 or the like, it is necessary to determine the spring force of the engaging piece 16 in advance as a procedure thereof, and also the engaging piece. It is necessary to set in consideration of the combined action of 16 spring forces.

  However, in some cases, the pressing force of the pressing piece 17 on the convex portion 20 is practically hardly transmitted to the engaging piece 16. For example, the spring force of the engaging piece 16 is sufficiently large, or the length dimension L2 of the pressing piece 17 is sufficiently large, so that the spring force of the pressing piece 17 is sufficiently small. In such a case, the engaging piece 16 behaves as a substantially complete fixed end with respect to the pressing piece 17. As a result, in such a case, it is not necessary to consider the spring force of the engagement piece 16 in combination when setting the spring force of the pressing piece 17, so that the setting of the spring force of the pressing force becomes very easy. preferable.

  The dimensions in the front-rear direction of the decorative dish 7 and the amount of protrusion of the engagement protrusions 13 and 14 and the convex portion 20 toward the decorative dish 7 are set as follows. In other words, in a state where the decorative dish 7 is mounted on the decorative dish storage unit 2, the convex portion 20 of the pressing piece 17 abuts the rear end side outer peripheral surface 7 d of the decorative dish 7 and presses the decorative dish 7 toward the front end side. Thus, the front end side outer peripheral surface 7 c of the decorative dish 7 is brought into close contact with the front end side inner peripheral surface 2 a of the decorative dish storage portion 2. At this time, each first engagement protrusion 13 is engaged in each first engagement recess 11. In this state, the pressing piece 17 is in a state where it is not elastically deformed substantially on the rear end side or the front end side (see FIG. 4). Further, at that time, there is a gap between the rear end side outer peripheral surface 7d of the decorative plate 7 and the rear end side inner peripheral surface 2b of the decorative plate storage portion 2 by the protruding amount of the convex portion 20. Each of the second engaging protrusions 14 provided on the joining piece 16 is set to have a protruding amount larger than that of the convex portion 20, so that it passes through the gap and protrudes into the second engaging concave portion 12. Are combined.

  Next, the operation of the cosmetic container 1 according to this embodiment will be described. When mounting the dressing plate 7 in the dressing plate storage unit 2, the dressing plate 7 is inserted into the dressing plate storage unit 2 from above, and the front end side lower end portion 7a and the rear end side lower end portion 7b of the dressing plate 7 are respectively set to the first. Further pressing is performed from the state where the upper surface of the first engaging protrusion 13 and the second engaging protrusion 14 are in contact with each other. Then, on the rear end side, the rear end side lower end portion 7b of the dressing plate 7 and then the rear end side outer peripheral surface 7d press each second engagement protrusion 14, and each engagement piece 16 is elastically deformed to the rear end side. Push to open. On the other hand, on the front end side, the front end side lower end portion 7a and the front end side outer peripheral surface 7c of the vanity plate 7 dodge while sliding on the first engagement protrusions 13, and the vanity plate 7 descends. At this time, the front end side lower end portion 7a and the rear end side lower end portion 7b of the vanity plate 7 and the upper surfaces of the first and second engaging protrusions 13 and 14 are all cut away so as to be inclined downward. The dressing plate 7 can be smoothly pushed downward. At this time, if necessary, the pressing piece 17 is also pressed by the decorative dish 7 through the convex portion 20, and the pressing piece 17 is elastically deformed toward the rear end side and pushed open.

  When the vanity plate 7 is lowered as described above, the first engagement protrusions 13 and the second engagement protrusions 14 are positioned at the heights of the first engagement recesses 11 and the second engagement recesses 12, respectively. Thus, each engagement piece 16 is elastically restored, each second engagement projection 14 is engaged with each second engagement recess 12, and each first engagement projection 13 is engaged with each first engagement recess 11. By combining, it is mounted in the decorative dish storage unit 2.

  Here, in order to make the operation of lowering the dressing plate 7 smooth, it is preferable that each engagement piece 16 is set to a spring force that can be elastically deformed to the rear end side appropriately and flexibly. Therefore, it is preferable that the rear end side is not easily elastically deformed so that the engagement is not easily disengaged. That is, the engagement piece 16 is preferably set so as to have such a moderately balanced spring force.

  In a state where the engagement protrusions 13 and 14 are engaged with the engagement recesses 11 and 12 and the decorative dish 7 is mounted on the decorative dish storage part 2, the convex part 20 of the pressing piece 17 is the rear end of the decorative dish 7. By pressing the side outer peripheral surface 7d, the decorative plate 7 is pressed to the front end side, and the front end side outer peripheral surface 7c of the decorative plate 7 is brought into close contact with the front end side inner peripheral surface 2a of the decorative plate storage unit 2, As a result, the first and second engagement protrusions 13 and 14 are engaged with the first and second engagement recesses 11 and 12, respectively.

  Further, when the decorative dish 7 is detached from the decorative dish storage part 2, first, the decorative dish 7 is horizontally moved to the rear end side by using the operation cutout part 3c formed in the partition wall 3b, so that the convex The portion 20 is pressed by the decorative dish 7 and the pressing piece 17 is elastically deformed and pushed open to the rear end side, and the engagement between the first engagement protrusions 13 and the first engagement recesses 11 on the front end side is released. While doing so (see FIG. 5), the decorative plate 7 is tilted and lifted away so that the first engaging projection 13 side of the decorative plate 7 is upward.

  At the beginning of the detachment operation, when the decorative plate 7 is moved to the rear end side and the convex portion 20 of the press piece 17 is pressed, as shown in FIG. 5, the press piece 17 is displaced to the rear end side. The engagement piece 16 is not displaced at all from the position of the engagement state shown in FIG. That is, in the present embodiment, the spring force of the engaging piece 16 and the spring force of the pressing piece 17 are set so that the pressing force to the convex portion 20 of the pressing piece 17 is hardly transmitted to the engaging piece 16. . In such a case, as described above, when setting the spring force of the pressing piece 17, it is not necessary to consider the spring force of the engaging piece 16 in a complex manner, so that the setting of the spring force of the pressing force is facilitated. Therefore, it is preferable.

  Further, here, in the state where the decorative dish 7 is mounted in the decorative dish storage unit 2, the pressing dish 17 causes the decorative dish 7 to be held stably without causing backlash in the front-rear direction. It is preferable to be pressed with a sufficiently strong force, that is, to have a spring force that does not cause the pressing piece 17 to elastically deform excessively easily toward the rear end side. However, on the other hand, when the decorative dish 7 is detached from the decorative dish storage portion 2, it is preferable that the operation is smooth and the elastic deformation to the rear end side is reasonably flexible. That is, it is preferable that the pressing piece 17 is set so as to have a spring force with an appropriate balance different from that of the engaging piece 16.

  As described above, in the cosmetic container 1 according to the present embodiment, the first engagement recess 11 and the second engagement are respectively formed on the front end side outer peripheral surface 7c and the rear end side outer peripheral surface 7d of the decorative dish 7 facing each other. A joint recess 12 is provided, and a first engagement protrusion 13 that can be engaged with the first engagement recess 11 is provided on the front end side inner peripheral surface 2a of the decorative dish storage portion 2, and is opposed to the front end side inner peripheral surface 2a. The rear end side inner peripheral surface 2b is provided with a second engagement protrusion 14 that can be elastically deformed by the first slit portion 18 with the lower end side as a free end, and can be engaged with the second engagement recess 12. The engagement piece 16 and the second slit portion 19 are connected to the outer and lower portions of the engagement piece 16, are formed to be elastically deformable with the outside as a free end, and project less than the second engagement protrusion 14. Set the amount of the decorative plate 7 in the direction of the first engagement protrusion 13, that is, the front Since the pressing piece 17 provided with the convex portion 20 to be pressed to the side is provided, the engaging piece 16 and the pressing piece 17 are partitioned from the first slit portion 18 and the second slit portion 19 which are independent from each other. As a result, the spring force of the engaging piece 16 and the spring force of the pressing piece 17 are respectively the length dimension of the inner first slit portion 18a that determines the length dimension L1 of the engaging piece 16, and the pressing force. By adjusting the length dimension of the upper second slit portion 19a that determines the length dimension L2 of the piece 17, it is possible to individually set each of them to have an appropriate strength.

  Next, each modification of the cosmetic container 1 according to the present invention will be described. In each drawing, the same or equivalent components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals. Description of parts that are not different from the first embodiment is omitted.

  FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment of the cosmetic container 1 according to the present invention. In this modification, the shape of the left and right flexible pieces 15 is the same as that of the first embodiment, but the engaging piece 16 is positioned at the position of the pressing piece 17 in the first embodiment, and the pressing piece 17 is It is formed at the position of the engagement piece 16 in the first embodiment. Accordingly, the first slit portion 18 that defines the engagement piece 16 includes an upper first slit portion 18d that is the same as the upper second slit portion 19a in the first embodiment, and a lower second slit in the first embodiment. The lower first slit portion 18c is the same as the slit portion 19b, and the outer first slit portion 18b is the same as the outer second slit portion 19c in the first embodiment. In addition, the second slit portion 19 that defines the pressing piece 17 includes an inner second slit portion 19d similar to the inner first slit portion 18a in the first embodiment, and an outer first slit portion in the first embodiment. An outer second slit portion 19c similar to 18b and a lower second slit portion 19b similar to the lower first slit portion 18c in the first embodiment are configured. The second engagement protrusion 14 is formed in the engagement piece 16 at the same height position as in the first embodiment and in the middle in the left-right direction. The convex portion 20 is formed at a position along the lower end and the outer end portion in the pressing piece 17. Even in such a modification, it is a matter of course that the same operations and effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained.

  FIG. 7 shows a third embodiment of the cosmetic container 1 according to the present invention. In this modified example, the shape of the left and right flexible pieces 15 is not L-shaped or inverted L-shaped, but is formed in a rectangle having the upper side as a fixed end. The inner half of each flexible piece 15 is configured as an engaging piece 16 and the outer half is configured as a pressing piece 17. The outer side of the engagement piece 16 and the inner side of the pressing piece 17 are connected to each other. Accordingly, both the engagement piece 16 and the pressing piece 17 are formed so as to be elastically deformable with the upper side as a completely fixed end and the connecting portion as a relative fixed end.

  The first slit portion 18 that defines the engagement piece 16 extends vertically to define the inner side of the engagement piece 16, and an inner first slit portion 18a that determines the length dimension L5 of the engagement piece 16. The engaging piece 16 includes a lower first slit portion 18c that extends to the left and right to define a lower end and determines a lateral dimension L7 of the engaging piece 16. The second slit portion 19 that defines the pressing piece 17 extends vertically to define the outer side of the pressing piece 17, and the outer second slit portion 19 c that determines the length dimension L 6 of the pressing piece 17 and the pressing piece 17. The lower second slit portion 19b extends to the left and right to demarcate the lower end of the pressing piece 17 and determines the lateral dimension L8 of the pressing piece 17. The second engagement protrusion 14 is formed at the same height position as in the first and second embodiments and at a position along the inner side of the engagement piece 16. The convex portion 20 is formed at a position along the lower end and along the outer side of the pressing piece 17.

  The spring force of the engagement piece 16 and the spring force of the pressing piece 17 can be set independently by individually adjusting the dimensions L5 and L7 of the inner first slit portion 18a and the outer second slit portion 19c, respectively. Is possible. Therefore, generally, the length dimension L5 of the engaging piece 16 and the length dimension L6 of the pressing piece 17 are different from each other, and the entire flexible piece 15 has a staggered shape (side-down L-shaped shape). . FIG. 7 shows a case where the lengths L5 and L6 of the engaging piece 16 and the pressing piece 17 happen to be equal to each other. In this modified example, the lateral lengths L7 and L8 that determine the boundary (connecting portion) between the engaging piece 16 and the pressing piece 17 are convenient, A line that separates the piece 16 and the pressing piece 17 does not exist clearly. However, for example, when the lateral dimension L7 of these engagement pieces 16 and the lateral dimension L8 of the pressing piece 17 are sufficiently long, the pressing force to the pressing piece 17 through the convex portion 20 is, for example, left and right It is not transmitted to the engagement piece 16 located at a distance far in the direction, that is, the elastic deformability of each other is effectively determined independently by the spring force of each other, and it is not necessary to consider both spring forces in combination. Even in such a modified example, the same operation and effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained. However, when the lateral dimensions L7 and L8 are sufficiently long, the engagement pieces 16 and When setting the spring force of the pressing piece 17, it is easy and more preferable because it is not necessary to consider the spring force of each other in a complex manner.

  In each of the embodiments described above, the shapes of the engagement piece and the pressing piece are all rectangular. However, the shape is not limited to this, and may be, for example, a semicircular shape, a U shape, or a V shape. Even in such a case, the spring force of the engaging piece and the pressing piece can be individually set by adjusting the dimensions of the first slit portion and the second slit portion separately as in the above embodiments. Is possible.

  In any of the above embodiments, the first and second engaging recesses and the first and second engaging protrusions are always provided at the same height position, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, it may be provided at various height positions. Also, the shape of each engagement recess, each engagement protrusion, and projection is not limited to those of the above embodiments, and may be various shapes. Further, the positions of the second engaging protrusion and the convex portion in the engaging piece and the pressing piece, respectively, are not limited to those in the above-described embodiments, and various changes can be made. The height position of the convex part may be located above the second engagement protrusion. In any of the above embodiments, the engagement pieces and the pressing pieces are arranged one by one on the left and right sides sandwiching the central portion of the inner peripheral surface of the rear end side of the decorative dish storage portion. It is not limited to the arrangement, and the number of both is not particularly limited. In each of the above embodiments, the first engagement recess and the first engagement protrusion are on the front end side of the cosmetic container, and the second engagement recess, the engagement piece, and the pressing piece are on the rear end side of the cosmetic container. However, the present invention is not limited to such an arrangement.
