In consideration of the user's operation state, the vertical direction in FIGS. 1 and 2 is the vertical (top and bottom) direction of the cosmetic container, the left and right and the front and back directions in FIGS. ) Direction.

  The cosmetic container according to the present embodiment is a compact case that can replaceably accommodate a refill filled with a solid cosmetic F such as a powder foundation in an inner dish 4. As shown in FIG. A container body 1 having an open refill housing recess 1a, an inner frame 2 covering the refill housing recess 1a, an inner dish 4 filled with a solid cosmetic F, and a lid that covers the upper surface opening of the container body 1 5. Moreover, between the said container main body 1 and the inner tray 4, it is extended toward the outer side from the bottom part 3b, the side part 3a erected from the peripheral part of this bottom part 3b, and the upper end of this side part 3a. A shallow dish-shaped middle dish tray 3 comprising a bowl 3c is disposed, and the middle dish 4 is accommodated and held in a middle dish accommodating recess 3d formed inside the middle dish tray 3. It is like that.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the inner tray 3 is housed in the refill housing recess 1a of the container body 1, and the outer edge portion 3f of the flange 3c stands in the refill housing recess 1a. An intermediate tray housing recess 3d composed of a side portion 3a and a bottom portion 3b is sandwiched between a tray mounting portion 1d provided and a tray holding portion 2b protruding from the lower surface of the middle frame 2. The container body 1 is supported in a state where a gap (a gap S2 between the side face 1c and a gap S2 between the bottom face 1b) is opened without contacting the side face 1c and the bottom face 1b of the refill housing recess 1a. This is a feature of the cosmetic container of the present invention.

  The cosmetic container will be described in detail. The container main body 1 is made of resin, and a refill housing recess 1a for housing the below-described middle dish 4 and middle dish tray 3 is formed on the upper surface thereof. As shown in FIG. 3, the refill housing recess 1a has a concave shape composed of a bottom surface 1b and a side surface 1c, and a plurality of tray mounting portions 1d are erected on the edge of the bottom surface 1b along the side surface 1c. .

  Further, a groove-like engaging portion 1e that engages with the convex shape of the engaging portion 2c provided on the inner frame 2 described later is formed on the side surface 1c of the refill housing concave portion 1a. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the notch part which has a convex part for engaging with the hook (illustration omitted) provided in the front edge part of the cover body 5 in the front end (near side) side of the container main body 1 is shown. 1 f is formed, and a notch 1 g used for hinge connection with the rear edge of the lid 5 is formed on the rear end (back) side of the container body 1. Further, a hole 1h for inserting a rod or the like used for taking out the inner tray 4 is provided in the bottom surface 1b of the refill housing recess 1a.

  The intermediate tray 3 accommodated in the refill accommodating recess 1a of the container body 1 is formed by vacuum forming a resin sheet having a thickness of about 0.1 to 1.5 mm. 3 is a shallow dish shape. In FIG. 3, a part is notched and drawn so that the shape of the tray tray 3 can be easily understood.

  The side portion 3a of the middle tray 3 is erected from the edge of the bottom portion 3b, and an inner tray accommodating recess 3d is formed on the inner side thereof. The flange portion 3c having a predetermined protruding width is extended. As shown in FIG. 4B, the flange 3c is composed of a bent portion 3e that extends from the upper end of the side portion 3a and temporarily goes downward, and an outer edge portion 3f that extends horizontally outward from the tip side. A space S3 is formed between the bent portion 3e and the side portion 3a.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the outermost outer edge portion 3f of the flange portion 3c is located between the tray placing portion 1d in the refill housing recess 1a and the tray holding portion 2b of the middle frame 2 described later. When sandwiched (gripped), the intermediate tray 3 forms a gap S1 between the side portion 3a and the side surface 1c of the refill accommodating recess 1a, and the bottom portion 3b and the bottom surface of the refill accommodating recess 1a. A gap S2 is formed between 1b and 1b. As a result, when the side 3a and bottom 3b of the tray tray 3 are subjected to external swinging or impact, the side 3a and bottom 3b are connected to the side 1c and bottom of the refill housing recess 1a. It does not come into contact with 1b.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, convex portions 3g projecting inward from the side portions 3a are provided at the four corners in the middle tray receiving recess 3d of the middle tray 3, so that the middle tray 4 is When inserted into the intermediate dish receiving recess 3d, each of the protrusions 3g engages with and holds the groove-shaped recess 4c provided on the peripheral side wall 4a of the intermediate dish 4. Further, the bottom 3b is provided with a hole 3h for inserting a rod or the like used for taking out the inner tray 4 as with the bottom 1b of the refill housing recess 1a.

  In addition, the said collar part 3c is good also as a shape where the horizontal outer edge part 3f extends outward directly from the upper end of the said side part 3a, without providing the bending part 3e. Moreover, as resin which comprises the said tray tray 3, polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) etc. can be used, and PET is used suitably especially. The thickness of the inner tray 3 depends on the type of the resin, but is generally about 0.1 to 1.5 mm, preferably 0.2 to 1. mm after vacuum forming (shaping) as a tray. It is formed to be 0 mm. Moreover, since it is a vacuum-formed product, all the parts of the tray do not necessarily have the same thickness.

  Further, the collar portion 3c of the intermediate tray 3 does not necessarily have to be continuous in the circumferential direction, and may be formed at least at a portion sandwiched between the tray mounting portion 1d and the tray holding portion 2b. That's fine. However, from the viewpoint of absorbing the vibration by increasing the amount of bending of the flange 3c to disperse the vibration as a whole, the flange 3c (the bent portion 3e and the outer edge 3f) is continuous in a circumferential shape (the entire circumference). It is desirable to provide it. In the above embodiment, the inner tray 3 is a vacuum molded product, but it can also be a molded product by injection molding.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the middle frame 2 fitted into the upper part of the refill housing recess 1 a of the container body 1 has its middle frame body 2 a along the edge of the upper surface opening of the container body 1. A large opening (hollow part) through which the inner tray 4 can be inserted vertically is provided in the frame shape. On the lower surface of the middle frame main body 2a, the flange portion 3c of the intermediate tray 3 is sandwiched between the tray mounting portion 1d at a position corresponding to the position where the tray mounting portion 1d of the container main body 1 is formed. A tray pressing portion 2b is provided so as to project from the tray pressing portion 2b and has a convex portion that engages with a groove-like engaging portion (engaged portion) 1e of the container body 1. A joint portion 2c is formed.

  With the above configuration, when the middle frame 2 is fitted into the upper part of the refill housing recess 1a, the engaging portion 2c having the convex portion is a groove-like engagement formed on the side surface 1c of the refill housing recess 1a. The container 1 is fixed in a state of being engaged with the joint 1e and covering the edge of the upper surface opening of the container body 1 and the vicinity thereof. At the same time, the tray pressing portion 2b inserted into the refill housing recess 1a presses the flange portion 3c of the intermediate tray 3 disposed in advance in the refill housing recess 1a from above, and the lower tray is placed. It is sandwiched between the part 1d and fixed.

  Next, the intermediate dish 4 accommodated in the intermediate dish tray 3 has a concave shape composed of a bottom plate 4b and a peripheral side wall 4a, and a solid cosmetic F such as a powder foundation is filled in the concave part. Further, as described above, a groove-like concave portion 4c that engages with the convex portion 3g of the side portion 3a of the inner tray tray 3 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral side wall 4a of the inner tray 4. When the intermediate dish 4 is accommodated in the intermediate dish accommodating recess 3d, the convex part 3g is fitted into the concave part 4c to hold the intermediate dish 4. In addition, as the intermediate dish 4, you may use either resin or metal. In the case of the metal middle dish 4, the middle dish 4 may be held on the middle dish tray 3 using an adhesive such as hot melt.

  Moreover, the lid body 5 that covers the upper surface of the container body 1 is substantially plate-like formed of the same resin as the container body 1 as shown in FIG. 1, and on the inner surface side (the container body 1 side), A mirror is attached. The lid body 5 is attached to the rear end side (back side) of the container body 1 so as to be openable and closable by a hinge connecting portion (not shown). Note that the shape and opening / closing structure of the lid 5 are appropriately changed depending on the structure and design of the container body 1.

  According to the cosmetic container as described above, the middle dish 4 filled with the cosmetic F is passed through the hollow portion provided inside the frame-shaped middle frame 2 that covers the upper surface opening of the container body 1. 3 can be detachably accommodated and held in the middle dish accommodating recess 3d.

  In the cosmetic container, the middle dish 4 is accommodated and held by the middle dish tray 3 with the gap S1 and the gap S2 being opened with respect to the side surface 1c and the bottom surface 1b of the refill accommodation recess 1a, respectively. Yes. Thereby, even if the cosmetics container of this embodiment receives the impact from the outside etc. at the time of carrying etc., the impact is not transmitted directly from the container main body 1 to the inner tray 4, but the said tray mounting part It is transmitted only through the flange portion 3c of the intermediate tray 3 sandwiched between 1d and the tray holding portion 2b. In addition, the cosmetic container has a bent portion 3e for increasing the amount of bending of the collar portion 3c formed in a part of the collar portion 3c of the intermediate tray 3, so which direction of the container body 1 Even if it receives an impact from the above, this impact can be effectively absorbed and mitigated by the bending of the flange 3c. Therefore, the cosmetic container of the present embodiment can prevent cracking of the solid cosmetic F filled in the inner dish 4 regardless of the direction from which the container body 1 is impacted.

  Next, the arrangement of the tray mounting portion 1d erected in the refill housing concave portion 1a of the container body 1 and the positional relationship between the convex portion 3g for holding the intermediate pan provided on the intermediate tray tray 3 corresponding thereto. Will be described. FIGS. 5A to 5D are all plan views showing examples of the shape of the container body 1 used in the cosmetic container of the present invention. 5 (a) to 5 (d), the middle tray 3 and its flange 3c are represented by phantom lines (two-dot chain lines) and provided opposite to the tray placing portion 1d. The tray holding part (2b) on the side of the middle frame (2) for clamping the collar part 3c is not shown. Moreover, Fig.5 (a) is the container main body 1 of the same shape as the said embodiment (FIG.1, FIG.2).

  First, the container main body 1 in FIG. 5A is similar to the above embodiment in that each tray mounting portion 1d (a pair of three mounting portions disposed on the upper and lower sides in the drawing) in the refill housing recess 1a. The group and a pair of mounting portions arranged on the left and right sides) are erected at substantially equal intervals in the circumferential direction at positions excluding the vicinity of the corner of the refill housing recess 1a. In addition, each convex portion 3g (two-dot chain line) in the middle tray receiving recess 3d of the middle tray 3 has a corner portion of the middle tray receiving recess 3d that is different in phase in the circumferential direction from each tray placing portion 1d. It is formed in the vicinity of the corners of the refill housing recess 1a.

  In this way, each tray placing portion 1d is provided at a position where the collar portion 3c of the inner tray tray 3 can be evenly distributed and supported in the circumferential direction, and each convex portion supporting the inner tray 4 (not shown). By providing the portion 3g at a position shifted from the circumferential position of each of the tray mounting portions 1d, the impact received from the outside is not transmitted straight to the intermediate dish 4, and the impact is transferred from the container body 1 to the intermediate dish 4. It is possible to take a sufficiently long path. That is, even when the cosmetic container receives an external impact or the like, the impact is interposed between the tray mounting portion 1d and the convex portion 3g provided at a sufficiently long distance. It is possible to more reliably prevent the shock from being sufficiently absorbed and relaxed by the bending of the portion 3c and the impact being transmitted to the inner tray 4.

  Next, the container main body 1 shown in FIG. 5 (b) includes each tray placement portion 1d (one placement portion disposed on each of the upper and lower sides in the drawing and the left and right sides) in the refill housing recess 1a. 1 each of the mounting portions) is erected substantially at the center of each side of the refill housing recess 1a. In addition, each convex portion 3g (two-dot chain line) in the middle tray receiving recess 3d of the middle tray 3 has a corner portion of the middle tray receiving recess 3d that is different in phase in the circumferential direction from each tray placing portion 1d. It is formed in the vicinity of the corners of the refill housing recess 1a. Even with this arrangement, as in the example of FIG. 4A, a path through which the impact received from the outside is not transmitted straight to the intermediate dish 4 but the impact is transmitted from the container body 1 to the intermediate dish 4 (not shown), It can be taken long enough. Therefore, in this cosmetic container, the impact received from the outside is sufficiently absorbed and mitigated by the bending of the flange portion 3c interposed between the tray mounting portion 1d and the convex portion 3g, and the impact is applied to the inner plate 4. Can be reliably prevented from being transmitted.

  Next, the container main body 1 shown in FIG. 5 (c) corresponds to an arrangement opposite to that in the example of FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b), and each tray mounting portion 1d in the refill accommodating recess 1a. The two corners of the refill accommodating recess 1a are two pairs of two placement unit groups arranged on the upper and lower sides in the drawing and two pairs of placement unit groups arranged on the left and right sides. It is erected in the vicinity of the portion so as to be substantially equidistant in the circumferential direction. Moreover, each convex part 3g (two-dot chain line) in the middle dish accommodating recessed part 3d of the middle dish tray 3 differs in the phase of the circumferential direction from each said tray mounting part 1b (3a). ) Is formed at substantially the center of each side. Even in this configuration (arrangement), as in the example of FIGS. 5A and 5B, the impact received from the outside is not transmitted straight to the inner tray 4, and the impact is transferred from the container body 1 to the inner tray 4 (illustrated). (Omitted) can take a sufficiently long route. Therefore, in this cosmetic container, the impact received from the outside is sufficiently absorbed and mitigated by the bending of the flange portion 3c interposed between the tray mounting portion 1d and the convex portion 3g, and the impact is applied to the inner plate 4. Can be reliably prevented from being transmitted.

  Next, the container main body 1 ′ shown in FIG. 5 (d) includes a circular middle dish tray 3 ′ (also including a flange 3′c) that holds and holds a circular middle dish (not shown); Similarly, it is an example using a container main body 1 ′ having a circular refill accommodating recess 1′a, and in this case as well, each tray mounting portion 1′d (four in this example) in the refill accommodating recess 1′a is used. ) Are erected so as to be equidistant in the circumferential direction of the refill accommodating recess 1′a. Moreover, each convex part 3'g (two-dot chain line) in the middle dish accommodating recessed part 3'd of the middle dish tray 3 'is at a position where the phase differs from the tray mounting part 1'd in the circumferential direction. It is formed so as to be equidistant in the circumferential direction of the side portion 3′a of the middle tray 3 ′. Also with this configuration, as in the example of the rectangular container body 1 in FIGS. 5A to 5C, the impact received from the outside is not transmitted straight to the circular inner tray, and the impact is not affected by the container body. The path from 1 'to the circular inner tray can be made sufficiently long. Therefore, in this cosmetic container, the impact received from the outside is sufficiently absorbed and alleviated by the bending of the flange 3'c interposed between the tray placing portion 1'd and the convex portion 3'g, It is possible to reliably prevent an impact from being transmitted to the circular inner tray.

  It should be noted that the tray mounting portion 1d (1'd) standing in the refill housing recess 1a of the container body 1 and the corresponding convex portion for holding the intermediate pan provided on the intermediate tray 3 corresponding thereto. Regarding the position of 3g (3′g), in addition to the above four examples, many variations are conceivable. However, in any cosmetic container, the tray mounting portion 1d (1′d) of the container body 1 and the tray pressing portion 2b of the middle frame 2 that faces the tray mounting portion 1d (1′d) It is desirable to disperse and provide the portions 3c at positions where they can be evenly supported in the circumferential direction.

  Next, examples will be described together with comparative examples. However, the present invention is not limited to the following examples.
