It is configured to fit into the engaging recess 30.
At this time, the lower end of the first engagement portion 28 is in pressure contact with the buffer portion 13 of the elastic body 12, and the height H at which the buffer portion 13 protrudes from the lower surface of the second engagement recess 10 is the first After the engaging convex portion 29 gets over the second engaging convex portion 9, the lower end of the first engaging portion 8 is in contact with the buffer portion 13, and the first engaging convex portion 29 is the second while pressing the buffer portion 13. It is set so as to fit into the engaging recess 10.

Next, usage modes and operational effects of this embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 3, when the compact container is closed, the first engagement convex portion 29 of the first engagement portion 28 of the lid B is the second engagement portion 28 of the container main body A. The lower end of the first engagement portion 28 is in pressure contact with the buffer portion 13 of the elastic body 12.
Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the inner end face of the flip-up pressing portion 27 provided inside the lid frame 22 is in pressure contact with the flip-up convex portion 16 of the rear wall 2 of the container main body A.
In this state, the buffer portion 13 always pushes up the lower end of the first engaging portion 28 so that the hook-like first engaging convex portion 29 and the hook-like second engaging convex portion 9 are closely engaged with each other. Therefore, a stable engagement state is maintained and no rattling noise is generated.

When the front operation surface 11 of the container main body A is pressed from this closed state, the second engaging portion 8 is surrounded by the elastic body 12, and the bottom wall 1 and the front wall 3 are connected via the elastic body 12. Therefore, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 3, the first engaging protrusion 28 swings backward by the elasticity of the elastic body 12 and the first engaging portion 28 is pushed up by the buffer portion 13. The part 29 is disengaged from the second engagement recess 10 and the engagement is released.
In addition, as the engagement of the lid B is released, the spring-up convex part 16 of the elastic body 12 that has been pressed and deformed by the spring-up pressing part 27 is restored, and the spring-up pressing part 27 is pushed up at once. By simply pressing the front operation surface 11 of the container main body B and releasing the engagement with the lid B, the lid B is simultaneously flipped upward and can be used immediately.
In this embodiment, the flip-up convex portion 16 is provided so as to protrude from the rear surface of the rear wall 2 of the container main body A, but it may be provided on the upper surface of the rear wall 2, and in this case, the flip-up press The part 27 is configured to be pressed from the upper part of the flip-up convex part 16.

At this time, since the elastic body 12 is integrally formed with the container main body A by insert molding, the operation member is separately provided as in the conventional case by forming the second engaging portion 28 surrounded by the elastic body 12. It is not necessary to manufacture and incorporate it into the container body with a spring or the like, and since the spring-up convex portion 16 is formed by the elastic body 12, it does not require a separate means such as a spring for springing up the lid B. Became easier.
In addition, since the elastic body 12 is connected to the front wall 3 and covers the front operation surface of the second engagement portion, the front surface is continuous without the second engagement portion protruding forward. Forming a flat surface is excellent in terms of design. Furthermore, if the elastic body 12 is formed of an elastomer such as rubber, the operability is improved without sliding hands during operation.
In the present embodiment, the elastic body 12 is formed in the accommodating portion 6 from the molding path 17 with a certain area and further passes through the bottom wall 1 or the rear wall 2 of the container body A and extends to the outer peripheral surface. Although the part which surrounds the 2 engaging part 28 and the flip-up convex part 16 are formed, when it does in this way, integrated strength with the container main body A will become strong and durability will be good.

Next, when the lid B is closed, the first engagement convex portion 9 is in the second engagement while the first engagement portion 28 of the lid B and the second engagement portion 8 of the container body A rub against each other. After overcoming the convex portion 29, it begins to fit into the second engaging concave portion 30, but at that time, the lower end of the first engaging portion 28 starts to contact the buffer portion 13, and the first engagement portion 28 is pressed and deformed. The mating convex portion 29 is fitted into the second engaging concave portion 10.
At the same time, the flip-up pressing portion 27 of the lid B starts to come into contact with the flip-up convex portion 16 of the container main body A, and gradually presses the spring-up convex portion 16 while pressing and deforming.
As described above, the first engagement convex portion 29 is fitted into the second engagement concave portion 10, the lower end of the first engagement portion 28 is pressed against the buffer portion 13, and the flip-up pressing portion 27 is flip-up convex. The part 16 is in pressure contact and is completely closed.

  In this way, the first engaging convex portion 29 is fitted into the second engaging concave portion 10 while the lower end of the first engaging portion 28 of the lid B presses the buffer portion 13, and at the same time, the flip-up pressing portion 27 is Since the lid closes while being pressed against the flip-up convex portion 16, the elastic body 12 absorbs the impact when the engaging convex portions are engaged with each other by the elastic force and does not generate an unpleasant sealing sound. At the same time, the change in force for closing the lid B is reduced, and a good operation feeling can be obtained by soft touch.

  The compact container of the present invention is suitable for use in a compact container that stores cosmetics and the like, but the lid that opens and closes around the hinge axis engages the container body with a hook-shaped engaging portion. If it is a container of the form which does, it can be widely used, manufacture is easy and a favorable operation feeling is obtained.
