Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic container, which securely holds an intermediate dish as a refill container filled with the cosmetic in a partition recess formed in a main body portion of the container, and drops the container by, for example, dropping the container. Even when an impact is applied to itself, it is intended to reduce the impact of the impact on the pan as much as possible.

  Cosmetic containers such as compacts generally have an internal space that can store contents such as eye shadows, eyeliners, and foundations together with applicators (puffs, etc.). From the point of view of practical use, the new contents can be replaced with the middle dish after it is used up.

  Usually, the inner pan applied to this type of container is held in association with an engaging means such as an undercut directly or via a frame on the main body of the container, and is provided on the bottom wall of the main body of the container. It can be easily removed by pushing up the middle dish through the hole, but if an impact is applied to the container itself, such as dropping, the impact will be transmitted to the middle dish as it is. There is a problem that the contents (dry-type cosmetics, etc.) are cracked.

As a prior art regarding this point, a longitudinal elastic member and a lateral elastic member are arranged between the decorative plate and the container body, respectively, and the impact from the vertical direction and the horizontal direction acting on the decorative plate is applied to each elastic member. There is known a cosmetic container that absorbs (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2004-283386 JP

  By the way, even if it exists in the said conventional cosmetics container, the absorption function of the impact with respect to a decorative dish is still not enough, and the further improvement was calculated | required.

  The subject of this invention exists in the place which proposes the cosmetics container from which the impact absorption performance was improved more.

The present invention relates to a makeup provided with an inner tray provided with a recess for filling and holding cosmetics, a main body portion provided with a compartment recess for storing the inner tray, and a lid body that can be opened and closed with the main body portion. In the container,
Provided in the compartment recess of the main body part so as to be tiltable via a pivot, and provided with a lever for holding the inner tray at a plurality of locations,
The lever includes a leg portion that abuts the bottom surface of the bottom wall of the intermediate plate and pushes up the intermediate plate, and an arm connected to the leg portion and connected to the peripheral wall of the intermediate plate to prevent the escape from the partition recess. The cosmetic container is characterized.

  In the cosmetic container having the above-described configuration, the arm can be provided with an elastic piece on the back surface thereof that abuts against the wall portion of the main body portion and applies a linking force to the peripheral wall of the inner tray.

  Further, the inner plate can be provided with an inner lid that seals a recess for filling and holding cosmetics. The inner lid is in contact with the opening of the inner plate and shock-absorbing at the contact portion. It is desirable to arrange the sheets that form the layers. Furthermore, in the lever, at least the contact portion with the inner dish can be made of a soft material.

  When the inner pan is in a sealed state (the inner lid is closed or the lid is closed), the inner pan is pushed up by the legs of the lever and is lifted from the bottom wall of the main body. Even if an impact is applied, the impact transmitted to the inner dish is extremely reduced.

  When the inner pan is in the open state (the inner lid is open or the lid is open), the push-up by the leg is released, and the lever arm falls on the pivot as a fulcrum and the peripheral wall of the inner pan As a result, it is possible to reliably prevent the middle dish from coming out of the compartment recess.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings.

  Reference numeral 1 in the figure denotes an inner dish having a recess N for filling and holding cosmetics. The inner tray 1 includes a peripheral wall 1a and a bottom wall 1b integrally connected to a lower end of the peripheral wall 1a. Undercut engagement convex portions 1c are provided at a plurality of locations on the outer periphery of the peripheral wall 1a.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a main body portion of the container. The main body 2 is composed of a peripheral wall 2a and a bottom wall 2b that are integrally connected at the lower end of the peripheral wall 2a. Inside, a partition recess M that houses the inner tray 1 and an applicator such as a puff are provided. compartment recess M ₁ for housing are formed.

  Reference numeral 3 denotes an inner lid that is installed on the peripheral wall 2a of the main body portion 2 via a pivot S so as to be able to be opened and closed, and is fitted to the opening of the inner tray 1 so as to keep the inside sealed. The inner lid 3 includes a top wall 3a that fits in the opening of the middle plate 1, and a side wall 3b that is integrally formed on the edge of the top wall 3a and that is positioned outside the peripheral wall 1a of the middle plate 1.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a lid (see FIG. 1 (c)). This is the inner surface of the lid 4 is mounted a mirror e, are openably supported by a pivot S ₁ to the main body portion 2 of the container. Reference numeral 5 denotes a lever having an L-shaped cross section as shown in an example provided at four locations on the edge (partition wall) of the partition recess M of the main body portion 2.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the lever 5 has a leg portion 5a (horizontal arrangement, see FIG. 4) having a protruding portion t protruding upward at the tip, and a rear portion of the leg portion 5a. It consists of an arm 5b (vertical arrangement, see FIG. 4) that has a claw P connected to the end and protruding toward the peripheral wall 1a of the inner tray 1 and is provided on the partition wall 2c (see FIG. 5) of the main body 2 It is tiltably supported through the pivot S _2.

The arm 5b of the lever 5 is formed with an inclined portion that abuts on the convex portion 3c provided on the lower surface of the inner lid 3 (contacts with the inclined portion d) at the tip portion 5b ', and when the inner lid 3 is closed enters into between the convex portion 3c is the inner tray 1 and arm 5b (see FIG. 4), the arm 5b while sliding at the tip 5b of the arm 5b ', the fulcrum pivot S ₂ from tilting (the inner tray 1 In this way, the engagement between the claw portion P and the convex portion 1c of the inner tray 1 is released (see FIG. 4).

Reference numeral 6 denotes a claw portion integrally formed on the back surface of the partition wall 2c of the main body portion 2 (see FIGS. 3, 4, and 5). When the inner lid 3 is closed, the claw portion 6 engages with the claw portion 3d ′ of the hanging piece 3d provided on the side wall 3b to hold the inner tray 1 in a sealed state. Reference numeral 7 denotes an elastic piece that can be arbitrarily provided on the back surface of the arm 5b. When opening the inner lid 3, utilizing the repulsive force by the arm 5b of the lever 5 is fall down toward the peripheral wall 1a of the inner plate 1 and the pivot S ₂ as a fulcrum, providing the elastic pieces 7 on the back of the arm 5b As a result, the arm 5b is forcibly tilted toward the peripheral wall 1a of the intermediate dish 1, thereby making it possible to increase the linkage force of the intermediate dish 1 with respect to the peripheral wall 1a, and the claw P to the convex part 1c of the peripheral wall 1a. Engage it securely to prevent it from coming out of the compartment recess M of the inner tray 1 (see FIG. 3).

  8 is a sheet that is disposed on the inner surface of the inner lid 3 and that fits into the opening of the inner tray 1. This sheet 8 is in contact with the inner tray 1 to improve airtightness and forms an impact buffer layer at the contact portion, and is composed of a soft member such as rubber, elastomer or foam. Further, 9 is a projection for stabilizing the arrangement posture by contacting the lower surface of the bottom wall of the intermediate dish 1 with the lid 4 and the inner lid 3 being opened.

  In the cosmetic container having the above structure, when the inner lid 3 and the lid body 4 are closed (see FIGS. 2 and 4), the inner plate 1 is pushed up by the leg portion 5a of the lever 5, and the bottom of the body portion 2 is Since it is lifted from the wall 2b and is sandwiched between the legs 5a and the seat 8, the impact transmitted to the inner plate 1 is extremely reduced even if an impact is applied to the container due to dropping or the like. .

  When the inner lid 3 and the lid body 4 are opened, the arm 5b falls toward the inner tray 1, the claw portion P abuts on the peripheral wall 1a of the inner tray 1, and the convex portion 1c engages with the claw portion P. Therefore, the inner tray 1 does not easily come out of the partition recess M.

  The legs 5a and arms 5b of the lever 5 can be made of a soft material such as rubber or elastomer in order to reduce the impact force in the middle dish 1, but the rigidity to push up the middle dish 1 cannot be secured. If there is a concern, at least a portion thereof (especially, a contact portion (convex portion t) with the inner dish 1) may be a soft material.

  Regarding the leg portion 5b of the lever 5, its width dimension L (see FIG. 5) including the convex portion t can be changed as appropriate. For example, the width dimension L is substantially the same as the width of the bottom wall 1a of the inner tray 1. If they are set equally, the inner tray 1 can be stably held at two locations opposite to each other. In this case, only two levers 5 are required (simplification of structure, reduction of components) Can). Further, when, for example, a circular one is used as the inner tray 1, the levers 5 are preferably provided at three positions at equal intervals, and this stabilizes the positioning posture.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, for a cosmetic container of the type provided with an inner lid 3 for sealing the concave portion N of the inner dish 1, the inner lid 3 is provided with a convex portion 3c, and the convex portion 3c is connected to the arm 5b and the middle portion. The case where the intermediate plate 1 is pushed up by the legs 5a by interposing between the plates 1 is shown as an example. However, for example, a refill type container in which a lid is attached to the intermediate plate 1 can also be adopted. . Further, in the case where the inner tray 1 not provided with the inner lid 3 is disposed in the partitioning recess M of the main body portion 2, the convex portion having the same function as the convex portion 3c provided in the inner lid 3 is provided as the lid body 4. The lever 5 may be provided directly and tilted using the convex portion, and this point is not limited.

  In particular, when the inner tray 1 without the inner lid 3 is disposed in the partition recess M of the main body portion 2, a sheet 8 that forms an impact buffer layer is disposed on the lid body 4.

  It is possible to provide a cosmetic container that can reduce the influence of the impact force on the middle dish as much as possible.
