  However, in the above-described conventional cosmetic container, the lid body must be manually turned to the closing position to close the lid body. For this reason, power was required for the lid closing operation.

  The present invention was devised in view of the above-described conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic container that can be easily closed by rotating the lid with a light force. To do.

  The cosmetic container according to the present invention includes a container main body, a lid that covers the upper surface of the container main body, and the container main body and one side portion of the lid that are vertically installed to connect them to the container main body. A cosmetic container having hinge means for pivotally opening and closing the lid body, wherein the hinge means urges the lid body in the closing direction from the middle of the closing operation to forcibly close the lid body. In order to stop the lid body biased in the closing direction at the closed position on at least one of the peripheral edge of the container body and the peripheral edge of the lid. A stopper that is engaged with either one of the peripheral edge of the lid and the peripheral edge of the container main body is projected.

  Between the peripheral side edge of the container body and the peripheral side edge of the lid body, a hook for detachably locking them is formed in order to maintain the closed state of the lid body. Features.

  In the cosmetic container according to the present invention, the lid can be closed by simply turning the lid with a light force.

  Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a cosmetic container according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the cosmetic container 1 according to this embodiment basically includes a container body 2, a lid body 3 that covers the upper surface of the container body 2, and the container body 2 and the lid body 3. A cosmetic container 1 having a hinge means 100 that is vertically provided on one side to connect them and pivots the lid 3 so that it can be opened and closed with respect to the container body 2. Is forced toward the closing direction from the middle of the closing operation to generate a forced closing operation, and is applied to at least one of the peripheral side edge 2a of the container body 2 and the peripheral side edge 3a of the lid 3 Is a stopper engaged with either one of the peripheral edge 3a of the lid 3 and the peripheral edge 2a of the container body 2 in order to stop the lid 3 biased in the closing direction at the closed position. 20 is projected.

  A hook piece between the peripheral edge 2a of the container body 2 and the peripheral edge 3a of the lid 3 is used as a hook for detachably locking the lid 3 in order to keep the lid 3 closed. 30 and a hook groove 31 are formed.

  The container body 2 is made of a synthetic resin material, and has a flat planar outer contour with a size that can be placed on the palm in a petal shape. The container body 2 is formed with a storage recess 2b for storing cosmetics such as cream and gloss.

  The lid 3 is made of a synthetic resin material, is formed in a petal shape substantially the same as the container body 2, and is connected to the container body 2 through the hinge means 100 so as to cover the upper surface thereof.

  The hinge means 100 includes a rotation shaft member 110 and a bearing member 120. The bearing member 120 includes a hollow cylindrical skirt portion 121 and a bearing portion 122 formed above the skirt portion 121 and formed in a cylindrical shape having an outer diameter smaller than that of the skirt portion 121. Inside the bearing portion 122, a fitting recess 123 having a square cross section is provided.

  The rotation shaft member 110 is slidable along the inner side surface of the cover member 111, the cover member 111, the rotation member 112 that is rotatably supported by the cover member 111, from the side closer to the bearing member 120. A locking member 113 that is disposed and engages with the rotation member 112 according to the rotation angle of the rotation member 112, a biasing member 114 that biases the locking member 113 in the direction of the rotation member 112, and a biasing member The cover bottom member 115 that abuts on the cover member 114 and is locked to the cover member 111 is integrally assembled.

  The cover member 111 constitutes the exterior of the rotating shaft member 110, and the outer shape and the inner shape are formed in a square shape, and a circular hole 111a is formed at the end on the bearing member 120 side, and the side surface is formed on the side surface. At least one locking hole 111b is formed. The hole 111a of the cover member 111 functions as a guide when the rotating member 112 rotates, and the inner side surface of the cover member 111 functions as a guide when the locking member 113 slides in the axial direction. .

  The rotating member 112 protrudes from the hole 111a of the cover member 111, and fits into the fitting concave portion 123a of the bearing member 120, and a cylindrical portion having substantially the same diameter as the hole 111a of the cover member 111. 112 b and an engaging recess 112 c that engages with the locking member 113 are formed. Here, the engaging recess 112c has a tapered shape in which an inclined surface that becomes narrower toward the back is formed.

  The locking member 113 is formed in a quadrangular shape whose outer dimension is substantially equal to the inner diameter of the cover member 111, and has an inclined surface with a wide base at the end surface and narrows toward the tip, and the inclination angle is the rotation member 112. A taper-shaped engagement convex portion 113 a corresponding to the inclination angle of the engagement concave portion 112 c is formed, and is urged toward the rotating member 112 in the axial direction by the action of the urging member 114. Accordingly, the locking member 113 is accommodated so as not to rotate with respect to the cover member 111 and to be slidable in the axial direction.

  For this reason, when the engaging recess 112c of the rotating member 112 is engaged with the engaging convex 113a of the locking member 113, the rotation of the rotating member 112 is stopped. Further, when a force is applied to the rotating member 112 to rotate, the inclined surface of the engaging concave portion 112c slides along the inclined surface of the engaging convex portion 113a, whereby the biasing force of the biasing member 114 is obtained. Against this, the locking member 113 moves in a direction away from the rotating member 112, and the engaging concave portion 112c is detached from the engaging convex portion 113a. When the rotating member 112 is further rotated so that the engaging concave portion 112c reaches the inclined surface of the engaging convex portion 113a, the engaging member 112c is engaged along the inclined surface of the engaging convex portion 113a urged by the urging member 114. The inclined surface of the mating recess 112c automatically slides, and the engagement recess 112c engages with the engagement projection 113a. Here, the position at which the engagement convex portion 113a and the engagement concave portion 112c are engaged and the rotation of the rotation member 112 is stopped is defined as a rotation stop position. Further, a position where the engagement recess 112c starts to slide automatically along the inclined surface of the biased engagement projection 113a is defined as a rotation start position.

  Note that the engagement recess 112c and the engagement protrusion 113a described above may have shapes that engage with each other, and therefore, one engagement recess 112c may be a protrusion and the other engagement protrusion 113a may be a recess. .

  The cover bottom member 115 is formed with a hole having the same shape as the outer shape of the biasing member 114 in order to support the biasing member 114. This is the urging member support portion 115a. Further, a locking projection 115 b for locking in the locking hole 111 b of the cover member 111 is formed on the side surface of the cover bottom member 115. For this reason, the cover shaft 111 is covered with the cover bottom member 115, and the locking projection 115b of the cover bottom member 115 is locked to the locking hole 111b of the cover member 111, whereby the rotary shaft member 110 is integrated. It becomes.

  As described above, when the hinge unit 100 is rotated by applying a force to the bearing member 120, the bearing member 120 moves relative to the rotation shaft member 110 via the rotation member 112 fitted to the bearing member 120. When it rotates and reaches the rotation start position, it automatically rotates to the rotation stop position.

  The rear end portion of the container body 2 has an outer diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the skirt portion 121 of the hinge means 100, and is housed in a size that allows the skirt portion 121 to rotate about the axis inside. A recess 4 is formed. A first hinge hole 4 a is formed below the storage recess 4 in a rectangular shape that is substantially equal to the outer diameter of the cover member 111 of the rotation shaft member 110. On the other hand, the second hinge hole 5 is formed in a circular shape substantially equal to the outer diameter of the bearing portion 122 of the bearing member 120 at the rear end portion of the lid 3.

  In the hinge means 100, the rotation shaft member 110 is fitted into the first hinge hole 4a via the storage recess 4, and the bearing portion 122 is fitted into the second hinge hole 5, and is fixed to each by ultrasonic bonding or the like. The In this manner, the container body 2 and the lid body 3 are connected in the vertical direction by the hinge means 100, so that the lid body 3 is pivoted so as to be freely opened and closed with respect to the container body 2.

  Further, since the rotation shaft member 110 is fixed to the first hinge hole 4a so as not to rotate, and the bearing member 120 is fixed to the second hinge hole 5 so as not to rotate, the bearing member 120 is fixed. However, by automatically rotating the rotation shaft member 110 from the rotation start position to the rotation stop position, the lid body 3 is urged toward the closing direction to generate a forced closing operation.

  A stopper 20 that engages with the peripheral edge 2a of the container body 2 projects on the peripheral edge 3a of the cover 3 in order to stop the cover 3 biased in the closing direction at the closed position. Established. The stopper 20 is formed at the front end of the lid 3 so as to protrude toward the opposite side of the turning direction, and is formed to hang from the projection 21, and at the closed position of the lid 3, It is comprised by the nail | claw part 22 contact | abutted with the peripheral edge part 2a. In the present embodiment, the stopper 20 is formed slightly rearward in the turning direction from the tip of the peripheral edge 3 a of the lid 3, but if it is the peripheral edge 3 a on the rear side in the turning direction of the lid 3. , It can be formed anywhere. Moreover, you may form in the peripheral side edge part 2a of the container main body 2 of the side which overlaps with the peripheral side edge part 3a of the turning direction front side of the cover body 3. FIG.

  On the claw portion 22 of the stopper 20, a hook piece 30 that detachably locks the lid body 3 with respect to the container body 2 protrudes toward the container body 2 side in order to maintain the closed state of the lid body 3. Is done. A hook groove 31 for detachably engaging the hook piece 30 is provided on the peripheral edge 2a of the container body 2. The hook piece 30 and the hook groove 31 constitute a hook between the container body 2 and the lid 3. In the present embodiment, the hook piece 30 is formed on the claw portion 22 of the stopper 20, but the position where the hook piece 30 is formed is not limited to this, and the peripheral edge portions 3 a and 2 a of the lid body 3 and the container body 2. It can be anywhere. The hook groove 31 is formed in the peripheral side edges 2a and 3a of the container body 2 and the lid body 3 corresponding to the hook groove 30 for detachably locking the hook piece 30.

  Next, the operation of the cosmetic container 1 according to this embodiment will be described. To manufacture the cosmetic container 1, the hinge means 100 is fitted into the first hinge hole 4 a of the container body 2 from the rotating shaft member 110 side, and the first hinge hole 4 a and the cover member 111 are bonded. Then, the container body 2 is covered with the lid body 3, the bearing member 120 is fitted and adhered to the second hinge hole 5, and the container body 2 and the lid body 3 are connected via the hinge means 100.

  When the cosmetic container 1 is used, when the container body 2 is opened, the lid body 3 is turned in the opening direction. When the lid 3 is turned, the inclined surface of the engaging concave portion 112c of the rotating member 112 of the hinge means 100 slides along the engaging convex portion 113a of the locking member 113, and the engaging concave portion 112c is engaged. Detach from the convex 113a. When the lid 3 is further pivoted in the opening direction, the inclined surface of the engagement recess 112c slides along the engagement projection 113a, so that the lid 3 corresponds to the rotation start position of the hinge means 100. The vehicle automatically turns from the position where it stops, stops at the position corresponding to the rotation stop position, and is released.

  On the other hand, when the container body 2 is closed, the lid body 3 is turned in the closing direction. As in the above opening operation, the bearing member 120 automatically rotates with respect to the rotation shaft member 110 from the rotation start position of the hinge means 100, whereby the lid 3 is forcibly closed toward the closing position. Operation occurs. The urged lid 3 is stopped at the closed position when the stopper 20 is engaged with the peripheral edge 2 a of the container body 2.

  Further, the lid 3 urged to the closing position by the forced closing operation is held in the closed state by engaging the hook piece 30 provided in the stopper 20 with the hook groove 31.

  In particular, in the cosmetic container 1 according to the present embodiment, the swing when closing the lid 3 by using the hinge means 100 that automatically rotates from the rotation start position determined appropriately to the rotation stop position. Since the forced closing operation occurs in the middle of the operation, the lid 3 can be closed with a light force. For this reason, even after the cosmetic is scraped off with a finger or the like, the closing operation is performed only with the hand holding the cosmetic container 1 without closing with the finger with the cosmetic. Can be done easily.

  Similarly, when the lid is opened, since the forcible opening operation is generated by the hinge means 100 from the middle of the turning operation, it can be opened with a light force. Furthermore, since the lid 3 stops at an appropriately determined open position, the usability for makeup is good.

  Even when the closing position of the lid body 3 where the container body 2 and the lid body 3 exactly overlap each other and the rotation stop position of the hinge means 100 are slightly shifted in the assembly stage of the cosmetic container 1, By providing the stopper 20, the swiveling operation of the urged lid 3 can be reliably stopped at the closed position. For this reason, the hinge means 100 can be assembled without worrying about a slight positional shift of the hinge means 100, and workability can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, the rotation stop position of the hinge means 100 is aligned with the closed position of the lid 3, but the rotation stop position may be set to a position further rotated than the closed position of the lid 3. . Even in this case, the lid 3 can be stopped at the closed position by the stopper 20. Since the lid 3 is engaged in the biased state and the hook piece 30 is locked by the hook groove 31, the closed state can be more reliably maintained.
