Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic case that accommodates a cosmetic refill in a replaceable manner.

Conventionally, various cosmetic cases are known. For example, the cosmetic case described in Patent Document 1 has a cassette (tray) for storing a refill (foundation) and a main body case. The refill is installed in the concave portion of the cassette, and is inserted into the main body case from an opening provided on the side surface of the main body case together with the cassette, and is prevented from falling off from the main body case by a door member that closes the opening. The door member is formed with elastic protrusions for urging the cassette in the insertion direction, and the main body case is formed with elastic protrusions for urging the cassette toward the opening. Is held in a state in which rattling is prevented.
Utility Model Registration No. 3014586

However, since the refills have different sizes and shapes depending on the manufacturer and series, it is necessary to replace the cosmetic case for each refill size. For example, the cassette described in Patent Document 1 did not have a special structure or the like for storing refills of different sizes. The main body case has rails and can accommodate only a dedicated cassette.
Then, this invention makes it a subject to provide the cosmetic case with high versatility which can accommodate cosmetics refills interchangeably irrespective of the magnitude | size etc. of cosmetics refills.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is a cosmetic case having the following configuration.
According to the first invention, the cosmetic case has a cassette and a main body case, and the cassette has an opening through which the refill is inserted from the side, an opening window that opens the upper surface of the refill, and the refill from the opening. The stopper which prevents dropping off and the flange part which covers the upper end outer peripheral part of the refill and prevents the refill from dropping off from the opening window are provided. Between the cassette and the refill, an upper urging portion that urges the refill upward and presses the upper peripheral portion of the refill against the flange portion, and a lateral urge that urges the refill in the insertion direction or the opening direction. And a front-rear direction urging portion that urges the refill in the front-rear direction substantially perpendicular to both the urging directions of the side urging portion and the upper urging portion. It is configured to be energized and held.

Accordingly, refills having different sizes and the like can be accommodated in the cassette without play. For example, refills having different thicknesses can be held without backlash by the upper biasing portion. Alternatively, refills having different lengths in the left-right direction or the front-rear direction can be held without backlash by the side biasing part or the front-rear direction biasing part.
Further, since the cosmetic case has the cassette and the main body case separately, for example, the refill can be easily inserted into the cassette by removing or tilting the cassette from the main body case.

According to the second invention, the main body case has a recess for storing the cassette and a support mechanism for supporting the cassette in a tiltable manner. The cassette is tilted so that the opening is positioned above the main body case without being detached from the main body case, and the refill can be exchanged from the opening.
Therefore, without removing the cassette from the main body case, the cassette can be tilted to take out the refill from the opening of the cassette, and a new cassette can be inserted into the cassette from the opening. Therefore, the refill can be easily exchanged.

  According to the third invention, the cassette has a plurality of upward biasing portions. These upper urging portions are provided at positions where they do not slide in contact with the adhesive provided at the center of the lower surface of the refill when the refill is inserted into the cassette. One upper urging portion urges the refill insertion tip portion accommodated in the cassette upward, and the other pair of upper urging portions urges the vicinity of the front and rear end portions of the refill upward. It has become.

Therefore, even if the refill is of a type in which an adhesive is provided on the lower surface of the refill, the refill can be easily inserted into the cassette without being disturbed by the adhesive. The refill after insertion is urged by the upper urging portion, and the adhesive is lifted from the cassette. This prevents the refill from adhering to the cassette.
The refill is urged upward at at least three sites. Therefore, the refill is urged upward with a good balance.

  According to the fourth invention, the main body case includes an opening into which the refill is inserted from the side, an opening window that opens the top surface of the refill, a stopper that prevents the refill from falling off the opening, and an upper end of the refill. And a flange portion that covers the outer peripheral portion and prevents the refill from falling off the opening window. Between the body case and the refill, there is an upper urging portion that urges the refill upward and presses the outer periphery of the upper end of the refill against the flange portion, and a lateral attachment that urges the refill in the insertion direction or the opening direction. And a front-rear direction urging portion that urges the refill in the front-rear direction that is substantially perpendicular to both the urging directions of the side urging portion and the upper urging portion. It is configured to be energized and held.

  Therefore, refills having different sizes and the like can be accommodated in the main body case without backlash. For example, refills having different thicknesses can be held without backlash by the upper biasing portion. Alternatively, refills having different lengths in the left-right direction or the front-rear direction can be held without backlash by the side biasing part or the front-rear direction biasing part.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 1, the cosmetic case 1 includes a cassette 3 into which the refill 10 is inserted, a main body case 2 that houses the cassette 3, an inner lid 4, and a main body cover 5.

That is, the cosmetic case 1 has a cassette 3 and a main body case 2 as shown in FIG. 1, and between the cassette 3 and the refill 10, an upper biasing portion 3g, 3h as shown in FIG. The urging portion 3e and the front-rear direction urging portion 3f have a configuration in which the refill 10 is urged and held in three directions by these urging portions (3e, 3f, 3g, 3h).

Therefore, the refills 10 having different sizes can be accommodated in the cassette 3 without backlash. For example, the refills 10 having different thicknesses can be held without backlash by the upper biasing portions 3g and 3h. Alternatively, the refills 10 having different lengths in the left-right direction or the front-rear direction can be held without backlash by the side biasing part 3e or the front-rear direction biasing part 3f.
Further, since the cosmetic case 1 has the cassette 3 and the main body case 2 separately, the refill 10 can be easily inserted into the cassette 3 by tilting the cassette 3 from the main body case 2.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the main body case 2 has a recess 2b for accommodating the cassette 3, and a support mechanism (2d2, 2d3) for supporting the cassette 3 so as to be tiltable. As shown in FIG. 2, the cassette 3 is tilted so that the opening 3a is positioned above the main body case 2 without being detached from the main body case 2, and the refill 10 is inserted from the opening 3a. Yes.
Therefore, without removing the cassette 3 from the main body case, the cassette 3 can be tilted to take out the refill 10 from the opening 3a of the cassette 3, and a new cassette 3 can be inserted from the opening 3a. Therefore, the refill 10 can be easily replaced.

  The cassette 3 has a plurality of upper urging portions 3g and 3h as shown in FIG. These upper urging portions 3g and 3h are provided at positions that do not slide in contact with the adhesive provided at the center of the lower surface of the refill 10 when the refill 10 is inserted into the cassette 3. Then, one upper urging portion 3g urges the insertion tip of the refill 10 accommodated in the cassette 3 upward, and the other pair of upper urging portions 3h moves the vicinity of the front and rear end portions of the refill 10 upward. It is configured to be energized.

Therefore, even if the refill 10 is of a type in which an adhesive is provided on the lower surface of the refill 10, the refill 10 can be easily inserted into the cassette 3 without being disturbed by the adhesive. Then, the refill 10 after being inserted is urged by the upper urging portions 3 g and 3 h, and the adhesive is lifted from the cassette 3. Therefore, the refill 10 is prevented from adhering to the cassette.
The refill 10 is biased upward at at least three sites. Therefore, the refill 10 is biased upward with a good balance.
