Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic container that uses a cosmetic contained in a container by adhering it to a cosmetic tool such as a puff or a brush.

  Since cosmetic containers are often carried when going out, it is required not only to have design properties but also to have excellent buffering properties and portability. In particular, in recent years, users are favored by smaller cosmetic containers. For this reason, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, cosmetic tools such as puffs and brushes used for makeup are not placed side by side next to a cosmetic dish (inner dish) filled with cosmetics, but a container body and a lid. A cosmetic container that has been reduced in size as a whole has been devised by providing a cosmetic tool space for accommodating a puff, a brush, and the like between the body and the body.

  Among the cosmetic tool spaces formed between the container body and the lid, the cosmetic tool housing recess formed on the upper side (opening side) of the step provided in the recess of the container body is usually Cosmetics that are larger in diameter than the cosmetic housing recess (or the inner tray housing recess) provided on the lower side, and have the powder solidified, such as teak and foundation, in addition to the purpose of housing puffs and the like as described above Is used as a work space for evenly adhering the cosmetic material to the puff or the like, or as a work space for mixing cosmetics of several colors with the puff or the like.

  FIG. 5 is a view of the conventional cosmetic container used in this way, as viewed from above with the lid opened, and FIG. 6 is an external view of the container main body (single unit) used in the cosmetic container. It is a perspective view. 5 and 6 are placed on a middle dish (symbol 3) filled with cosmetics and a plastic sheet (symbol 4) on the middle dish so that the structure of the container is easy to see. The illustration of a cosmetic tool such as a puff (reference numeral 5) is omitted. In consideration of the user's operation, the hook piece 1c side of the container body 1 is the front side of the container, the hinge connecting part side (reference numeral 1d side) of the container body 1 is the back side, and the front-back side direction of the container is The “front-rear direction”, the top-bottom direction of the container and the opening / closing direction of the lid will be described as “vertical direction”, and the left and right sides of the container from the front side to the back side will be described as “left-right direction”.

  The cosmetic container shown in FIG. 5 is a compact case for accommodating and carrying cosmetics. In this compact case, a cosmetic accommodating recess (inner dish accommodating recess 11) and a cosmetic tool accommodating recess 12 are formed. A container body 1 and a lid 2 that covers the upper opening of the container body 1 are provided. The lid body 2 is hingedly connected to the rear end portion (notch portion 1d) of the container body 1 through a coupling piece 2b extending from the lid body 2 by a coupling pin (not shown) or the like. It is hinged and can be opened and closed with respect to the container body 1.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the container body 1 has a deep dish shape including a bottom portion 1 b and a side portion 1 a, and a circumferential step is formed in the middle of the side portion 1 a, and two concave portions having different opening diameters. Are stacked up and down. The step recess on the lower side (inner side) from the step portion is a middle plate receiving recess 11 for receiving the inner plate filled with the cosmetic, and the step recess on the upper side (outer side) is larger than the step portion. In this example, it is a cosmetic tool receiving recess 12 for storing a puff or the like. The lower tray receiving recess 11 has a substantially cylindrical shape which is substantially the same shape as the receiving tray, and a bottom hole 1b is provided with a through hole (long hole) used for detaching the tray.

  In some cases, the inner dish storage recess 11 (cosmetics storage recess) is directly filled with the cosmetic without using the inner dish. Further, the side surface (the wall surface above the stepped portion) of the cosmetic device receiving recess 12 has a slope (so-called “mortar” shape) that gradually increases in diameter upward as shown in the figure. Cosmetics that are likely to jump out of the housing recess 11 are naturally returned to the inner tray housing recess 11.

  However, as described above, the conventional cosmetic container (compact case) as described above is configured so that the cosmetic in the middle dish accommodated in the middle dish accommodating recess 11 of the container main body 1 Since it is used while adhering to a puff or the like on the top (that is, in the cosmetic device receiving recess 12), it is rubbed with a puff or the like from the connecting portion (notch portion 1d) communicating with the outside of the container. In some cases, the cosmetics that have come to the body leak, and the user's hand and its surroundings, as well as the interior and surroundings of the cosmetic pouch containing the compact case, may be soiled. Therefore, improvement of this problem is demanded.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and while being small and lightweight with excellent portability, leakage of powdered cosmetics can be suppressed and used without soiling the user's hands and the like. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cosmetic container that can be used.

  In order to achieve the above object, a cosmetic container of the present invention includes a container body having a recess for accommodating a cosmetic material that opens toward the top of the container, and a lid that covers the upper surface opening of the container body. A notch portion that communicates with the recess is provided at the rear end portion of the container body, and a connecting piece portion that protrudes downward from the rear end portion of the lid body is fitted into the notch portion. A cosmetic container in which a connecting piece and a rear end of the container body are hingedly connected, and the lid is attached to the container body so as to be openable and closable, wherein the container body has a recess and a notch A cosmetic container in which a partition wall for preventing leakage of the cosmetic to the outside is formed at the boundary portion of the first aspect is defined as a first gist.

  Further, according to the present invention, the concave portion of the container main body is formed by a step portion formed in the middle of the side surface of the concave portion, a stepped concave portion having a large opening diameter, and a stepped concave portion having a small opening diameter formed near the center thereof. The stepped recess is a cosmetic receiving recess, and a partition wall for preventing the cosmetic from leaking to the outside is provided at the boundary between the stepped recess and the notch. The cosmetic container is a second gist.

  In order to make the cosmetic container compact, the inventors have followed a structure in which a cosmetic tool housing recess for housing a puff or the like is provided between a container body and a lid body that covers the container body. Then, we studied whether the leakage of cosmetics during container use could be reduced. As a result, powdered cosmetic is provided by providing a partition wall for preventing cosmetic leakage at a notch that connects (communicates) the concave portion inside the container containing the inner dish (cosmetic) and the outside of the container. Was able to be pushed back effectively, and the present invention was reached.

  As described above, the cosmetic container of the present invention is provided with the notch for connecting the hinge of the lid at the rear end of the container body, and the recess for accommodating the cosmetic inside the container passes through the notch. In a cosmetic container that communicates with the outside of the container, by providing a partition wall for preventing cosmetic leakage at the boundary portion between the concave portion and the cutout portion of the container body, the cosmetic that is about to leak out from the cutout portion is provided. It is pushed back and the leakage of cosmetics during use can be greatly suppressed. In addition, according to the method using the said partition wall, it is not necessary to add a new member to a cosmetics container, and there exists an advantage that the problem on a container manufacture (molding process) does not generate | occur | produce.

  Further, among the cosmetic containers of the present invention, the concave portion of the container body is formed by a step portion formed in the middle of the side surface of the concave portion and a stepped concave portion having a large opening diameter and a small opening formed near the center thereof. In the case where the stepped recess is a cosmetic containing recess, the partition wall for preventing leakage of the cosmetic to the outside is divided into the stepped recess and the notch. It is provided at the boundary part. Thereby, the leakage prevention effect of the cosmetics similar to the above can be acquired.

  In the cosmetic container of the present invention, in particular, the partition wall is erected from the bottom surface of the stepped recess along the edge of the notch, and both end portions of the partition wall are A container in which the corner formed by the end of the partition wall and the side surface of the stepped recess is an obtuse or rounded curved surface so as to be gently connected to the side of the stepped recess is a container Cosmetics, dust and the like are not easily collected in the corners formed inside the main body, and are easy to clean and remove. Thereby, the inside of a cosmetics container can be kept clean.

  Furthermore, among the cosmetic containers according to the present invention, those whose protrusion height from the bottom of the concave portion of the partition wall is set to 0.1 mm or more and 2.0 mm or less are rubbed with a puff or the like and pulverized. Even when the cosmetic material reaches the upper end surface of the partition wall, the partition wall does not come into contact with the mirror or the like disposed inside the lid body, so that the mirror or the like is not soiled. Further, even in the case of a cosmetic container that houses a puff or other cosmetic tool in the stepped recess, a gap is formed between the cosmetic tool and the upper surface of the partition wall, so the cosmetic tool is pushed up (pressed) to the lid side. There is an advantage that the cosmetic material adhering to the cosmetic tool does not stain the mirror of the lid. Furthermore, since this partition wall has a low height, it is possible to use a large puff or the like that is easier to use without pressing the space for housing the cosmetic tool.
