Description

  The present invention relates to a refill container, specifically, a refill container that houses and protects an inner dish filled with cosmetics.

  In recent years, compact containers for powder cosmetics such as foundations have a configuration in which an inner dish called a refill filled with cosmetics is mounted inside, and only the inner dish can be replaced. For this reason, only the middle dish filled with cosmetics is often sold. At this time, a refill container for storing the inner dish is used during transportation or sales display for reasons such as preventing scattering of the filled cosmetics.

  Such refill containers are, for example, JP 2002-119326 A (Patent Document 1), JP 2003-212255 A (Patent Document 2), JP 2003-265224 A (Patent Document 3), No. 2006-218032 (Patent Document 4) and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-275640 (Patent Document 5).

  Each of the refill containers disclosed in these publications is configured to cover the exposed surface from which the cosmetic is exposed, and includes a lid portion that covers the exposed surface and a side wall portion that surrounds the periphery of the middle dish, and the side wall portion and the lid A storage portion for storing the intermediate dish is configured by the portion. The storage unit firmly holds the outer periphery of the intermediate dish so that the intermediate dish is not detached from the refill container during transportation or display sales. And in order to ensure the prevention of detachment | leave from an inner plate, the latching | locking part which protruded to the storage part side is provided in the side wall part of the refill container. As a result of this locking portion holding the bottom surface of the middle dish, the middle dish is not easily detached from the refill container. Further, in order to reliably prevent the separation, for example, in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, a refill in which a concave portion provided on the bottom surface or side surface of the inner plate and a locking portion protruding to the storage portion side are engaged. A container is also disclosed.

  On the other hand, if the refill container firmly holds the middle dish, it becomes difficult to remove the middle dish during use. Therefore, in order to facilitate the removal, in the refill containers of Patent Documents 1 to 4, a part of the side wall is cut away so that both sides of the inner plate can be removed with fingers. Moreover, in the refill container of patent document 5, the separating line for opening this in the side wall part is provided.

JP 2002-119326 A JP 2003-212255 A JP 2003-265224 A JP 2004-275640 A JP 2006-218032 A

  However, since the refill containers disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 4 have a structure in which both sides of the middle dish are grasped with fingers and are forcibly removed halfway, in some cases, the removal is not successful, and the removed middle dish is dropped. Sometimes it ends up. If it does so, the crack (crack) will enter into the cosmetics with which the inside plate was filled, and the cosmetics scattered, and it had a situation where it could not be used in a severe case. In addition, a large load is applied to the side surface of the intermediate dish during removal. As a result, the rising part of the cosmetic material (the so-called burr part) formed along the inner wall surface of the inner plate tends to collapse, and the cosmetic material due to the collapse of the burr is scattered as powder on the exposed surface of the cosmetic material. It was supposed to prevent good application and to stain the user's clothes and surrounding areas. Furthermore, even if there is no problem in normal use, even if the impact is small enough to drop the compact lightly on the desk, not only the burr is broken, but the exposed surface of the cosmetic tends to be cracked or chipped.

  Moreover, in the refill container disclosed in Patent Document 5, it is necessary to cut the side wall portion along the separation line, and the removal is somewhat troublesome.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described background art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a refill container in which an inner dish can be taken out very easily without applying a load as much as possible.

  Therefore, in the present invention, in order to enable the removal of the intermediate dish from the refill container without having the intermediate dish, the crease part that protrudes toward the exposed surface where the cosmetic is exposed is provided on the lid of the refill container. Are provided in a direction crossing the lid portion, and a notch portion is formed in a side wall portion constituting the lid portion so that the lid portion can be bent.

  The refill container of the present invention includes a fold portion that protrudes toward the exposed surface where the cosmetic is exposed in a direction crossing the lid portion, and the lid portion on the side wall portions near both ends of the fold portion. Since the notch part which can be bend | folded is provided, if the both ends of a cover part are lifted, a cover part will be bent in V shape by a crease | fold part. At this time, the force acts so that the lid near the crease part pushes down the edge of the inner dish, and the engagement between the lid and the inner dish is released. Thus, when the refill container of the present invention is used, only the middle dish can be taken out without directly holding the middle dish with fingers.

  The refill container of the present invention is a refill container in which a storage unit for storing the intermediate dish is configured by a side wall part that surrounds the side surface of the intermediate dish filled with the cosmetic and a cover part that covers the exposed surface where the cosmetic is exposed. And the crease | fold part which becomes convex toward the said exposed surface at the said cover part is provided in the direction which crosses the said cover part. Further, the side wall portion is provided with a notch portion that allows the lid portion to be bent near both ends of the crease portion. The crease portion is constituted by a groove having a substantially U-shaped cross section, for example. Further, the lid portion is provided with a pair of finger contact portions made of convex portions having a substantially triangular cross section in a side view inclined from both ends of the lid portion toward the substantially central portion thereof, It is composed of valleys formed by finger pads.

  The refill container of the present invention may include, for example, a pair of finger rests formed of plate-like portions extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the crease portions at the upper end of the side wall portion. In another embodiment, a pair of finger rests comprising depressions that can press a finger in a direction substantially perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the crease part on a side surface of the side wall part substantially perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the crease part. May be provided. In still another embodiment, there may be provided a finger contact portion made of a protrusion capable of pressing a finger in a direction substantially perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the crease portion in the vicinity of both ends of the lid portion. In yet another embodiment, a pair of finger contact parts each having a substantially triangular cross section inclined from the end of the lid part toward the substantially center of the lid part are provided to face each other. In the refill container provided with such a finger pad part, it becomes easy to apply force to the lid part through the finger pad part, and handling becomes even easier. In addition, since the load applied to the inner dish is reduced compared with the case where there is no finger pad, the influence on the cosmetic filled in the inner dish is reduced.

  The refill container of this invention may be equipped with the buffer wall part which forms the cross-sectional substantially U shape integrally with the said side wall part toward the upper direction from the lower edge of the said side wall part on the outer periphery of the side wall part. Also in this case, the buffer wall portion is provided with a notch portion that allows the lid portion to be bent near both ends of the fold portion, similarly to the side wall portion.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Needless to say, the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

  1 is a perspective view of a refill container 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view thereof, FIG. 3 is a plan view thereof, FIG. 4 is a sectional view thereof, and FIG. It is the perspective view seen from.

  The refill container 1 has a lid portion 10 that covers the exposed surface 3 from which the cosmetic filled in the inner tray 2 is exposed, and a side wall portion 20 that covers the side surface 2 a of the inner tray 2. The lid portion 10 and the side wall portion 20 form a storage portion 40 that stores the inner tray 2. Around the side wall part 20, a buffer wall part 30 that is integrated with the side wall part 20 and has a substantially U-shaped cross section is formed upward from the lower edge of the side wall part 20. The buffer wall portion 30 softens the impact applied from the outside.

  The lid portion 10 includes a lid peripheral edge portion 11 against which the edge of the middle tray 2 hits when the middle tray 2 is stored, and a lid facing portion 12 that faces the exposed surface 3 of the cosmetic. A step portion 13 is formed between the lid peripheral portion 11 and the lid facing portion 12, and the lid facing portion 12 has a structure that is one step higher than the lid peripheral portion 11. For this reason, there is no possibility that the cover part 10 and the exposed surface 3 of cosmetics will contact.

  The lid portion 10 has a crease portion 14 that crosses the lid portion 10 in the short direction of the lid portion 10 at substantially the center in the longitudinal direction of the lid portion 10. The fold portion 14 is formed of a groove 14a having a U-shaped cross section that protrudes toward the exposed surface 3, and is formed so as to cross the lid facing portion 12 from end to end. The lower end of the fold portion 14 is positioned at a substantially middle height of the step portion 13, and the folded lid portion 10 contacts the exposed surface 3 of the cosmetic when the lid portion 10 (fold portion 14) is folded. It is formed so as not to. The crease portion 14 may be provided in a part of the lid facing portion 12 without crossing the lid facing portion 12 from end to end, but preferably it completely crosses the lid facing portion 12. This is because the lid 10 is easier to bend.

  In the side wall portion 20, a cut portion 21 having a substantially inverted V shape in a side view is formed near both ends of the fold portion 14. Further, the buffer wall 30 is also formed with a cut portion 31 having a substantially inverted V shape in a side view near both ends of the fold portion 14. When the side surface of the refill container 1 is viewed from the end side of the fold portion 14, the cut portion 21 of the side wall portion 20 and the cut portion 31 of the buffer wall portion 30 are formed at substantially overlapping positions. The left and right two edges of the side wall portion 20 formed by the cut portion 21 and the left and right edges of the buffer wall portion 30 formed by the cut portion 31 are connected by a connecting portion 32 having curved surfaces on the left and right sides. The cut portion 21 and the cut portion 31 enable the lid portion 10 to be bent at the fold portion 14. Therefore, as long as the function is exhibited, the shape of the cut portion 21 and the cut portion 31 is not limited, and a structure simply cut may be used. The connecting portion 32 is not an essential configuration. Further, the cut portion 21 and the cut portion 31 may be of a small width, and unlike the refill containers disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the cut portion 21 and the cut portion 31 cannot be used because they are not wide enough to pinch the inner tray 2 with fingers.

  Engagement projections 22 projecting toward the storage portion 40 are provided at four locations inside the side wall portion 20. The engagement protrusion 22 supports the bottom of the middle tray 2 and prevents the middle tray 2 from falling out of the storage portion 40. However, the engagement protrusion 22 is not essential, and the inner dish 2 may be configured to hold the inner dish 2 over the entire circumference of the side wall part 20 by making the inner circumference of the side wall part 20 slightly smaller than the outer circumference of the inner dish 2. .

  The refill container 1 is integrally formed from an elastically deformable material such as various plastic materials such as polypropylene, polyethylene, and polyethylene terephthalate. For integral molding, for example, a vacuum molding method or an injection molding method is used. The refill container 1 made of such an elastically deformable material has a good engagement with the inner tray 2. In addition, an elastic body such as rubber having a strong elastic force can be used, but a material having a small yield point that allows easy bending of the lid 10 is preferably used rather than a material having a strong elastic force. This is because when the elastic force is strong, a large force is required to bend the lid portion 10 and it is difficult to remove the inner tray 2.

  The storage of the intermediate dish 2 in the refill container 1 is substantially the same as the conventional refill container 1. That is, the cosmetic is filled in the intermediate dish 2 and the refill container 1 is covered from above the intermediate dish 2 with the exposed surface 3 facing upward. When the middle plate 2 is taken out, the lower edge on both sides of the side wall portion 20 at the position where the fold portion 14 is sandwiched is sandwiched from above with, for example, a finger of one hand, for example, a thumb and an index finger. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, force is applied to both fingers so as to lift the lower edge of the side wall portion 20 on both sides, and the lid portion 10 is bent at the fold portion 14. Then, a force acts in a direction in which the lid peripheral edge portion 11 in the vicinity of the crease portion 14 pushes the upper end of the edge of the inner tray 2 downward. Thus, the engagement at the engagement protrusion 22 is released, and the inner tray 2 is taken out from the refill container 1. In addition, the inner tray 2 can be taken out using both hands instead of one hand. For example, the lower edge of the side wall 20 is lifted by the index finger while the both ends of the lid 10 are pressed with both thumbs. Then, as in the case of taking out with one hand, a force acts in a direction in which the lid peripheral edge portion 11 in the vicinity of the fold portion 14 pushes the upper end of the edge of the inner tray 2 downward, and the engagement at the engagement protrusion 22 is released.

  As described above, when the refill container 1 of the present invention is used, the intermediate dish 2 can be taken out without directly holding the intermediate dish 2 with a finger. In addition, since the lever principle is used, the inner tray 2 can be taken out with a relatively small force, so even a person with weak fingertip force can take it out without difficulty. In addition, since a strong force is not applied to the inner dish 2 during removal, no load is applied to the cosmetic filled in the inner dish 2, and a state close to the state at the time of manufacture can be maintained. As a result, it is possible to reduce the adverse effects of being dropped during compact use. From such a viewpoint, in the present invention, it is preferable to provide the fold portion 14 at a position where the principle of leverage can be utilized to the maximum, such as providing the fold portion 14 near the center of the refill container 1 in the longitudinal direction.

  FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a refill container 1 which is another embodiment of the present invention. The refill container 1 has substantially the same configuration as the refill container 1 of the first embodiment, but a pair of finger rests 50 are provided on the side surface of the buffer wall 30 that is substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the folds 14 are arranged. Is different in that. The finger pad portion 50 is formed of a depression that can press the finger in a direction substantially orthogonal to the direction in which the fold portion 14 is arranged. As a result of the finger fitting to the finger rest portion 50, the take-out operation is facilitated. It also serves as a mark for applying a finger in the extraction operation.

  8 is a plan view of a refill container 1 according to still another embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the refill container 1, and FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the refill container 1. In this refill container 1, in the refill container 1 of the first embodiment, a pair of finger pads made of a plate-like member extending from the upper end of the buffer wall 30 to the outer peripheral side substantially orthogonal to the arrangement direction of the fold part 14. A portion 51 is provided. The finger rest 51 is a member for facilitating lifting both ends of the lid 10 when removing the inner tray 2. The lid 10 can be easily bent by lifting the finger rest 51 upward. In addition, although not shown, in the refill container 1 including the finger pad portion 51 formed of a plate-shaped portion, the buffer wall portion 30 may further include a finger pad portion 50 formed of a depression shown in the second embodiment. This makes it easier to operate with both hands. The finger contact portion 51 made of a plate-like member may be provided on the outer peripheral side from the lid peripheral edge portion 11.

  FIG. 11 is a schematic perspective view of a refill container 1 according to still another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of the refill container 1. This refill container 1 has a pair of finger rests 52 that are symmetric with respect to the fold part 14 in the vicinity of both ends of the lid part 10 in the refill container 1 of the first embodiment. This finger rest 52 is also a member for facilitating removal of the inner tray 2. Each finger pad 52 is formed of a hollow convex part having a substantially triangular cross section in a side view inclined from the end of the cover part 10 toward the substantially center of the cover part 10, and the pair of finger pad parts 52 as a whole. As shown in FIG. The pair of finger rests 52 are not formed on the entire lid facing portion 12 but are formed only on the center portion of the lid facing portion 12 while leaving both ends of the lid facing portion 12 in the arrangement direction of the fold portion 14. ing.

  In addition, each finger contact portion 52 is formed larger than the lid facing portion 12 in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the fold portion 14 is arranged, and protrudes to the outer peripheral side of the side wall portion 20. And the side wall part 20 which forms the accommodating part 40 is also protruded and formed in the outer peripheral side according to the protrusion to the outer peripheral side of the side wall part 20. As shown in FIG. In accordance with this, the buffer wall 30 is also formed to protrude to the outer peripheral side. As a result, in the portion where the finger rests 52 at both ends of the lid 10 are formed, a space 24 is formed between the side wall 20 and the side wall of the middle dish 2 when the middle dish 2 is stored. However, since the four corners of the storage unit 40 are in contact with the middle dish 2, the point of firmly holding the middle dish 2 remains unchanged. Further, in the illustrated refill container 1, the engagement protrusions 22 are formed in the vicinity of the four corners of the storage portion 40, and the retainability of the inner tray 2 is enhanced. Few.

  In this refill container 1, a valley 14 b formed by a pair of opposing finger contact portions 52 becomes a part of the fold portion 14, and the valley 14 b and the finger contact portion 52 are not formed on the lid facing portion 12. A fold portion 14 is formed from a groove 14a having a substantially U-shaped cross section. That is, the crease portion 14 formed of the groove 14a having a substantially U-shaped cross section is formed on both sides of the fold portion 14 formed of the valley 14b formed by the pair of finger contact portions 52.

  This refill container 1 can also be used without any difference from the refill containers 1 of the above embodiments. Since the refill container 1 has the finger contact portions 52 that are raised at both ends of the lid portion 10, the refill container 1 has a structure that can be easily picked with one hand. As a result, it is easy to take out the inner tray 2. The entire crease portion 14 can also be constituted by a valley 14b constituted by a pair of finger rests 52. However, as in this embodiment, the crease portion 14 has a substantially U-shaped cross section on both sides of the crease portion 14 constituted by the valley 14b. When the fold portion 14 formed of the groove 14a is provided, the lid portion 10 tends to be surely bent as compared with the case where the entire fold portion 14 is constituted by the valley 14b. Moreover, the cover part 10 is bend | folded without breaking right-and-left balance by comprising the crease | fold part 14 which consists of the groove | channel 14a of a substantially U-shaped cross section substantially on both sides of the crease | fold part 14 which consists of troughs 14b.

  The member for making it easy to take out the inner tray 2 may have various shapes other than the above embodiment. FIG. 13 is a schematic perspective view of a refill container 1 which is still another embodiment. The refill container 1 includes a pair of finger rests 53 made of protrusions that are substantially upright with respect to the lid facing portion 12 at both ends of the lid facing portion 12. Each finger contact portion 53 is a wide, substantially columnar object that is substantially parallel to the arrangement direction of the fold portion 14, and is formed symmetrically about the fold portion 14. The side wall on the outer peripheral side of each finger rest 53 has a curved portion 53a curved inward. By sandwiching the finger rest 53 with, for example, the thumb and index finger of one hand, the inner plate 2 can be taken out. In this embodiment, the presence of the bending portion 53a makes it easy to pick the pair of finger rests 53 with one hand. This is because the curved portion 53a fits the finger. The finger contact part 53 can also be comprised from such a protrusion. The curved portion 53a is not an essential configuration.

  FIG. 14 is a perspective view of a refill container 1 which is still another embodiment of the present invention. The refill container 1 uses an inner dish 2 having a notch 2b at the bottom as shown. On the side wall portion 20 of the refill container 1, an engagement protrusion 22 that engages with the cutout portion 2b is formed. Thus, the present invention can also be applied to the refill container 1 having a structure in which the notch 2b is formed and the inner tray 2 is held by the notch 2b. Since the refill container 1 of the present invention has a structure that bends at the crease portion 14, it is easy to disengage from the intermediate dish 2. In such a refill container 1, the intermediate dish 2 can be easily centered without being gripped by a finger. Only dish 2 can be removed. Although not shown, the present invention can also be applied to an inner dish having a notch on the side surface described in Patent Documents 1 and 2.

  FIG. 15 is a plan view of a refill container 1 according to still another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view of the refill container 1. In the said Example, although the case where the buffer wall part 30 was provided around the side wall part 20 which comprises the accommodating part 40 was demonstrated, in the refill container 1 of this invention, the buffer wall part 30 is not an essential element. For example, the refill container 1 shown in FIG. 15 does not have the buffer wall part 30, and the side wall part 20 has a side wall peripheral part 23 whose lower end edge is formed slightly wider on the outer peripheral side. And the finger pad part 54 which consists of a pair of plate-shaped member is extended in the direction which cross | intersects the crease | fold part 14 in the said side wall peripheral part 23 at the outer peripheral side. This refill container 1 can also be used in the same manner as the refill containers 1 of the above embodiments. For example, the finger rest 54 may be lifted with the thumb and forefinger of one hand, the lower surface of the finger rest 54 is supported with the index finger, and both ends of the lid facing portion 12 are pushed downward with the thumb. In this case, the lid portion 10 is bent at the fold portion 14, and the engagement with the inner tray 2 can be released.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the refill container 1 in which the inner tray 2 is rectangular in plan view and the fold portion 14 is provided at substantially the center in the longitudinal direction of the lid portion 10 has been described. Is not necessarily limited to this position. The present invention utilizes this principle, so to speak, with the contact point between the fold portion 14 and the upper end of the side wall 2b of the inner tray 2 as a fulcrum. Therefore, in the present invention, it can be said that it is a preferred embodiment to arrange the fold portion 14 so that the lid portion 10 can be bent with a smaller force. However, for example, the lid part 10 may be provided substantially in the center in the short direction in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the inner tray 2, or the crease part 14 may be provided in the diagonal direction of the lid part 10. In these cases, the finger contact part 51 made of the plate-like part extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the crease part 14, and is made of the finger contact part 52 made of the convex part or a projection. What is necessary is just to form the finger rest part 53 so that force may be applied to the direction orthogonal to the arrangement direction of the said crease | fold part 14. FIG. Needless to say, the present invention can also be applied to the refill container 1 that accommodates the middle dish 2 that is square in plan view and the middle dish 2 that is circular or elliptical in plan view.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the refill container which can take out only an inside dish without picking out an inside dish is provided. Thereby, cosmetics, such as a compact, become easier to use for the user.
