  However, the conventional compact container has room for improvement in operability.

  This invention is made | formed in view of the situation mentioned above, Comprising: It aims at providing the compact container which can improve operativity.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes the following means.
A compact container according to the present invention includes a container main body having a storage part for storing contents and a lid part for opening and closing the storage part, and an operation frame externally fitted to the container main body so as to be movable in the radial direction. In the outer peripheral edge of the container body, three or more fixing parts capable of fixing the housing part and the lid part are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction. A pair of magnetized bodies that are separately provided in the housing portion and the lid portion and sandwich the operation frame body in the container axial direction and can be magnetically attached to each other are provided, and the operation frame body is configured to close the lid portion The operation frame that is moved in the radial direction between the holding position to be held in the position and the release position to release the holding while adjusting the separation distance between the pair of magnetic adherends, and located at the holding position. The body is arranged coaxially with the container axis, and the three or more fixed bodies are arranged. The operation frame bodies positioned at the release position are moved in the radial direction from the holding position toward the pair of fixing portions adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction. In addition, the distance between the two fixed portions is smaller than the distance between the fixed portions other than the two fixed portions.

In the present invention, when the operation frame body is located at the holding position, the distance between the pair of magnetized bodies in each of the three or more fixed portions is equal to each other. It is possible to stably hold the lid in the closed position by making the fixing strength of the fixing portion, which is the strength of magnetic adhesion, equal to each other in all the fixing portions.
When opening the cover and opening the housing, the operation frame is moved in the radial direction toward the pair of fixing parts adjacent in the circumferential direction, and moved from the holding position to the release position. At this time, among the three or more fixed parts, the spacing between the pair of magnetic attachments in the two fixed parts located on the moving side along the radial direction is a pair of magnetic fields in the fixed parts other than the two fixed parts. It is possible to make the fixing strength of the fixing parts other than the two fixing parts weaker than the fixing strength of the two fixing parts while securing the fixing strength of the two fixing parts. Therefore, by moving a portion of the lid portion that is located on the opposite side along the radial direction toward the upper side that is the lid portion side with respect to the accommodating portion along the container axial direction, the lid portions are The accommodating portion can be opened by rotating around a rotation axis passing through the fixed portion.
As described above, according to this compact container, the pair of fixing portions that are the centers of rotation of the lid portion are appropriately selected, and the operation frame body is moved from the holding position to the release position toward the both fixing portions. Thus, the lid can be opened and closed in various directions, and the operability can be improved.

  The operation frame body is externally fitted to the container body so as to be movable in both a first direction and a second direction that are orthogonal to the container axis and orthogonal to each other, and the fixing portion is disposed in the first direction. Four spaced apart in the circumferential direction so as to constitute four corner portions in a rectangular shape formed by the pair of first side portions extending and the pair of second side portions extending in the second direction. The operation frame body that is disposed and located at the release position is moved from the holding position toward the pair of fixing portions adjacent in the circumferential direction in the first direction or the second direction. Also good.

In this case, when the operation frame is moved from the holding position to the release position, the operation main body is moved in the first direction or the second direction.
When the operation frame is moved in the first direction, regardless of which side of the first direction it is moved, between the pair of magnetized bodies in the two fixed portions located on the moving side along the first direction Is less than the separation distance between the pair of magnetized bodies in the two fixed portions positioned on the opposite side along the first direction, and the fixed strength of both fixed portions on the opposite side is It can be made weaker than the fixing strength of the two fixing parts. Therefore, by moving the portion of the lid located on the side opposite to the moving side upward, the lid is rotated around the rotation axis extending in the second direction through both fixed portions on the moving side. Can be made. Thereby, a cover part can be opened from the both sides of a 1st direction by changing suitably the direction of the 1st direction which moves an operation frame.
In addition, when the operation frame is moved in the second direction, a pair of magnetic attachments in the two fixed portions located on the moving side along the second direction, regardless of which side of the second direction is moved. The spacing distance between the bodies is smaller than the spacing distance between the pair of magnetized bodies in the two fixed portions positioned on the opposite side along the second direction, and the fixing strength of both fixed portions on the opposite side is It can be made weaker than the fixing strength of both fixed parts on the moving side. Therefore, similarly to the case where the operation frame is moved in the first direction, by moving the portion located on the non-moving side of the lid portion toward the upper side, the lid portion is moved to both the fixed portions on the moving side. And can be rotated around a rotation axis extending in the first direction. Thereby, a cover part can be opened also from the both sides of a 2nd direction by changing suitably the direction of the 2nd direction which moves an operation frame.
As described above, according to this compact container, the operation frame body is externally fitted to the container body so as to be movable in both the first direction and the second direction, so that the lid portion is simply placed on one side or the second direction in the first direction. The compact container can be opened and closed not only from one side in two directions but from both sides in the first direction and both sides in the second direction, so that the compact container can be opened and closed in various directions. It is possible to prevent the structure from becoming complicated.

  In addition, the operation frame body is externally fitted to the housing portion of the container main body, and the upper magnetic attachment body provided on the lid portion of the pair of magnetic attachment bodies is connected to the container from the lid portion. The surface that protrudes toward the lower side that is the housing portion side along the axial direction and faces downward in the upper magnetic attachment body is the surface that faces the upper side that is the lid portion side along the container axial direction in the operation frame body. It may be formed in a convex spherical shape that abuts and protrudes downward.

In this case, in order to open the lid from the first direction, when the operating frame is moved in the first direction from the holding position toward the release position and the lid is rotated about the rotation axis, The upper magnetized bodies of both fixed parts located on the moving side are tilted toward the moving side in the first direction on the operation frame while the surface of the upper magnetized body is in contact with the surface of the operation frame. Accordingly, the lid portion can be smoothly rotated around the rotation axis.
Similarly, in order to open the lid from the second direction, the operation frame is moved in the second direction from the holding position toward the release position, and the lid is rotated in the second direction in the same manner. The upper magnetized bodies of the two fixed portions located on the moving side of the body are tilted toward the moving side in the second direction on the operating frame body with the surface of the upper magnetized body contacting the surface of the operating frame body. By inserting, the lid can be smoothly rotated around the rotation axis.
As described above, according to the compact container, the surface of the upper magnetized body is formed in a convex spherical shape that is convex toward the lower side, so that the lid portion is in either the first direction or the second direction. Even when opening from the direction, the lid can be smoothly rotated about the rotation axis, and the operability can be further improved.

  In addition, an arrangement recess in which the upper magnetic adhesion body is arranged is provided on the surface of the operation frame, and a wall surface of the arrangement depression is provided with a first outer wall surface facing inward in the first direction, and the first A second outer wall surface facing inward in two directions, and in a state where the operation frame body is located at the holding position, the first outer wall surface extends from the outer side in the first direction to the upper magnetized body. The second outer wall surface faces the upper magnetic attachment body from the outer side in the second direction, and the first outer wall surface and the second outer wall surface are concave portions that are recessed downward. It may be formed in a curved surface shape.

In this case, when the operation frame is moved in the first direction from the holding position toward the release position in order to open the lid from the first direction, the upper portions of the two fixed portions located on the opposite side of the first direction are moved. As the operation frame moves in the first direction while bringing the surface of the magnetized body into contact with the first outer wall surface of the placement recess, the upward movement of the upper magnetized body is guided by the first outer wall surface and moved upward. The magnetized body gradually rises, and the distance between the pair of magnetized bodies is adjusted smoothly. Thereafter, the lid is rotated about the rotation axis, and the upper magnetic attachments of the two fixed portions located on the moving side in the first direction are tilted toward the moving side in the first direction on the operation frame. Then, the upper magnetized body falls down so that the convex spherical surface formed by the surface of the upper magnetized body follows the concave curved surface formed by the first outer wall surface of the arrangement recess. Thereby, the upper magnetic attachment is supported by the first outer wall surface, and the lid portion can be stably held in the open posture.
Further, when the operation frame is moved in the second direction from the holding position toward the release position in order to open the lid from the second direction, the upper magnets of the two fixed portions located on the opposite side of the second direction are moved. The operating frame moves in the second direction while bringing the surface of the adherend into contact with the second outer wall surface of the arrangement recess, so that the upward movement of the upper magnetized body is guided by the second outer wall surface and The adherend gradually rises, and the spacing between the pair of magnetic adherends is adjusted smoothly. Thereafter, the lid is rotated about the rotation axis, and the upper magnetic attachments of the two fixed portions located on the moving side in the second direction are tilted toward the moving side in the second direction on the operation frame. Then, the upper magnetized body falls down so that the convex spherical surface formed by the surface of the upper magnetized body follows the concave curved surface formed by the second outer wall surface of the arrangement recess. Thereby, the upper magnetic attachment is supported by the second outer wall surface, and the lid portion can be stably held in the open posture.
As described above, according to the compact container, the first outer wall surface and the second outer wall surface are each formed in a concave curved surface shape that is concave toward the lower side, so that the lid portion is formed in the first direction and the second direction. When opening from any of the directions, the lid can be opened smoothly and the lid can be stably held in the open posture, and the operability can be further improved.

  Further, the wall surface of the placement recess is provided with a first inner wall surface facing outward in the first direction and a second inner wall surface facing outward in the second direction, and the operation frame body is in the holding position. The first inner wall surface faces the upper magnetic adherend from the inner side in the first direction, and the second inner wall surface faces the upper magnetic adhering body from the inner side in the second direction. You may face each other.

  In this case, since the first inner wall surface and the second inner wall surface are provided on the wall surface of the arrangement recess, the upper portion can be opened even when the lid portion is opened from either the first direction or the second direction. The first inner wall surface restricts the magnetized body from slipping out from the placement recess to the inside in the first direction, and the second inner wall surface restrains the upper magnetized body from slipping out from the placement recess to the inside in the second direction. Can do. Therefore, for example, when the upper magnetized body is caused to fall down to open the lid, the upper magnetized body is prevented from coming out of the arrangement recess, and the upper magnetism body is retained in the arrangement recess. Thus, the lid portion can be smoothly rotated around the rotation axis.

For example, the magnetic pole on the surface of the lower magnetized body 24 becomes the S pole (first pole), and the upper magnet The magnetic pole on the surface of the adherend 25 (below the main body portion 28) is an N pole (second pole).

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the operation frame 12 is formed of a synthetic resin material and a nonmagnetic material that is not magnetically attached to the magnet, like the housing portion 13. The operation frame body 12 is externally fitted to the accommodating portion 13 in the container body 11 so as to be movable in both the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. The operation frame body 12 is formed in a rectangular shape in plan view extending in both the first direction D1 and the second direction D2, and is loosely fitted in the circumferential groove 16b of the housing portion 13.

As shown in FIG. 1, the connecting portion 30 extends linearly in the first direction D1 or the second direction D2. The connecting portion 30 is provided with an operating piece 30a that protrudes outward in the radial direction.

  The operation frame body 12 has a pair of magnetized bodies between a holding position as shown in FIG. 3 for holding the lid portion 14 in a closed position and a release position as shown in FIG. 6 for releasing the holding. It is moved in the radial direction while adjusting the separation interval between 24 and 25. The operation frame body 12 located at the holding position is arranged coaxially with the container axis O, and the operation frame body 12 located at the release position is arranged in the radial direction from the holding position, in the present embodiment, the first direction D1 or the second direction. D2 is moved toward the pair of fixing portions 23 adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction.

  In a state where the operation frame 12 is located at the holding position, the compact container 10 is formed point-symmetrically with respect to the container axis O. Further, the abutting portion 29 and the connecting portion 30 are located inside the container main body 11 in the radial direction, and do not protrude from the container main body 11 outward in the radial direction. Furthermore, the bottom wall surface 32 of the placement recess 31 abuts the surface of the upper magnetic body 25, the first outer wall surface 33a faces the upper magnetic body 25 from the outside in the first direction D1, and the second outer wall surface 33b. Is opposed to the upper magnetic body 25 from the outside in the second direction D2, the first inner wall surface 33c is opposed to the upper magnetic body 25 from the inner side in the first direction D1, and the second inner wall surface 33d is It faces the body 25 from the inside in the second direction D2. As a result, the portion of the contact portion 29 that continues to the upper magnetic body 25 from the outside in the first direction D1 gradually becomes thicker toward the outer side in the first direction D1, and the upper magnetic body 25 is The portion that continues from the outside in the direction D2 becomes gradually thicker toward the outside in the second direction D2.

  In the operation frame body 12 located at the holding position, the separation intervals between the pair of magnetic bodies 24 and 25 in the three or more fixing portions 23 are equal to each other. Thereby, in the state where the operation frame body 12 is located at the holding position, the fixing strength of the fixing portion 23 which is the strength with which the pair of magnetic attachment bodies 24 and 25 are magnetically attached to each other is equal to each other in all the fixing portions 23. Thus, the lid portion 14 can be stably held in the closed posture.

  In the compact container 10, when the operation frame body 12 is moved from the holding position to the release position in order to open the lid portion 14 and open the storage portion 13, the operation frame body 12 is moved in the first direction D1 or the second direction D2. , And move toward the pair of fixing portions 23 adjacent in the circumferential direction. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, among the three or more fixing parts 23, between the pair of magnetic bodies 24, 25 in both fixing parts 23 located on the moving side along the first direction D1 or the second direction D2. Is smaller than the separation interval between the pair of magnetic adherends 24 and 25 in the fixing portion 23 other than the two fixing portions 23.

  For example, when the operation frame 12 is moved in the first direction D1, regardless of which side of the first direction D1 is moved, two frames positioned on the moving side along the first direction D1 are used. As the operation frame body 12 moves in the first direction D1 while the surface of the upper magnetized body 25 in the fixed portion 23 abuts on the first inner wall surface 33c of the arrangement recess 31, the upper magnetized body 25 moves upward. Is guided by the first inner wall surface 33c, and the upper magnetized body 25 gradually rises. At this time, the surface of the upper magnetic attachment body 25 of the two fixed portions 23 located on the opposite side along the first direction D <b> 1 is in contact with the first outer wall surface 33 a of the placement recess 31, while the operation frame body 12. Is moved in the first direction D1, the upward movement of the upper magnetic body 25 is guided by the first outer wall surface 33a, and the upper magnetic body 25 is gradually raised.

  Here, as described above, since the curvature of the first inner wall surface 33c is smaller than the curvature of the first outer wall surface 33a, the upper magnetized body 25 positioned on the counter-moving side in the first direction D1 is It rises more than the upper magnetic body 25 located on the moving side in the first direction D1. As a result, the spacing between the pair of magnetic adherends 24 and 25 in the two fixed portions 23 located on the moving side along the first direction D1 is set to the two positions located on the non-moving side along the first direction D1. This is smaller than the separation interval between the pair of magnetic bodies 24 and 25 in the fixing portion 23. As a result, it is possible to make the fixing strength of both the fixing portions 23 on the counter-moving side weaker than the fixing strength of both the fixing portions 23 on the moving side, while securing the fixing strength of both the fixing portions 23 on the moving side.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, the lid portion 14 is then moved upward in the first direction D <b> 1 by moving a portion of the lid portion 14 located on the opposite side in the first direction D <b> 1 to the upper side. The housing portion 13 can be opened by turning the two fixing portions 23 around the rotation axis passing through the both fixing portions 23.
At this time, the upper magnetized bodies 25 of the fixed portions 23 located on the moving side are moved to the moving side on the operation frame 12 while the surface of the upper magnetized body 25 is brought into contact with the surface of the operation frame 12. By making it fall down, the cover part 14 can be smoothly rotated around the rotation axis. Further, at this time, the upper magnetic body 25 falls down so that the convex spherical surface formed by the surface of the upper magnetic body 25 follows the concave curved surface formed by the first outer wall surface 33a of the arrangement concave portion 31. Supported by the first outer wall surface 33a of the placement recess 31, the lid portion 14 can be stably held in the open posture. Further, at this time, the upper magnetized body 25 abuts against the first inner wall surface 33c, so that the upper magnetized body 25 can be prevented from coming out of the arrangement recess 31 in the first direction D1.

  On the other hand, when the operation frame 12 is moved in the second direction D2, the two positions located on the moving side along the second direction D2 are the same regardless of which side of the second direction D2 is moved. As the operation frame body 12 moves in the second direction D2 while the surface of the upper magnetized body 25 in the fixing portion 23 abuts against the second inner wall surface 33d of the arrangement recess 31, the upper magnetized body 25 moves upward. Is guided by the second inner wall surface 33d, and the upper magnetized body 25 gradually rises. At this time, the surface of the upper magnetic attachment body 25 of the two fixed portions 23 located on the opposite side along the second direction D2 is in contact with the second outer wall surface 33b of the arrangement recess 31 while operating the operation frame body 12. Is moved in the second direction D2, the upward movement of the upper magnetic body 25 is guided by the second outer wall surface 33b, and the upper magnetic body 25 is gradually raised.

  Here, as described above, since the curvature of the second inner wall surface 33d is smaller than the curvature of the second outer wall surface 33b, the upper magnetic body 25 positioned on the counter-moving side in the second direction D2 is It rises more than the upper magnetized body 25 located on the moving side in the second direction D2. As a result, the spacing between the pair of magnetic bodies 24 and 25 in the two fixed portions 23 located on the moving side is such that the distance between the pair of magnetic bodies 24 and 25 in the two fixed portions 23 located on the non-moving side. It becomes smaller than the separation interval. As a result, it is possible to make the fixing strength of both the fixing portions 23 on the counter-moving side weaker than the fixing strength of both the fixing portions 23 on the moving side, while securing the fixing strength of both the fixing portions 23 on the moving side.

Therefore, after that, by moving the portion of the lid portion 14 that is located on the side opposite to the second direction D2 in the upward direction, the lid portion 14 is moved away from the two fixed portions 23 on the movement side in the second direction D2. The accommodating part 13 can be opened by turning around a turning axis passing through both the fixed parts 23 as the center.
At this time, the upper magnetized bodies 25 of the fixed portions 23 located on the moving side are moved to the moving side on the operation frame 12 while the surface of the upper magnetized body 25 is brought into contact with the surface of the operation frame 12. By making it fall down, the cover part 14 can be smoothly rotated around the rotation axis. At this time, the upper magnetized body 25 falls down so that the convex spherical surface formed by the surface of the upper magnetized body 25 follows the concave curved surface formed by the second outer wall surface 33b of the arrangement concave portion 31, and the upper magnetized body 25 is Supported by the second outer wall surface 33b of the placement recess 31, the lid portion 14 can be stably held in the open posture. Further, at this time, the upper magnetized body 25 abuts against the second inner wall surface 33d, so that the upper magnetized body 25 can be prevented from coming out of the arrangement recess 31 in the second direction D2.

  As described above, according to the compact container 10 according to the present embodiment, the pair of fixing portions 23 to be the center of rotation of the lid portion 14 is appropriately selected, and the operation frame is directed toward the both fixing portions 23. By moving the body 12 from the holding position to the release position, the lid 14 can be opened and closed in various directions, and the operability can be improved.

  Further, the operation frame body 12 is externally fitted to the container body 11 so as to be movable in both the first direction D1 and the second direction D2, so that the lid portion 14 is simply placed on one side in the first direction D1 or in the second direction D2. Can be opened and closed from both sides of the first direction D1 and both sides of the second direction D2, so that the compact container can be opened and closed in various directions. It can suppress that the structure of 10 becomes complicated.

  In addition, since the surface of the upper magnetized body 25 is formed in a convex spherical shape that protrudes downward, the lid 14 can be opened from either the first direction D1 or the second direction D2. In addition, the lid portion 14 can be smoothly rotated around the rotation axis, and the operability can be further improved.

  Furthermore, since the first outer wall surface 33a and the second outer wall surface 33b are each formed in a concave curved surface shape that is concave toward the lower side, the lid portion 14 is placed in either the first direction D1 or the second direction D2. Even when opening from the direction, it is possible to smoothly open the lid portion 14 and to stably hold the lid portion 14 in the open posture, and the operability can be further improved.

  Since the first inner wall surface 33c and the second inner wall surface 33d are provided on the wall surface of the placement recess 31, the lid 14 can be opened from either one of the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. Even so, the upper magnetized body 25 is regulated from the placement recess 31 to the inside in the first direction D1 by the first inner wall surface 33c, and the upper magnetized body 25 is moved from the placement recess 31 to the inside in the second direction D2. The escape can be regulated by the second inner wall surface 33d. Therefore, for example, when the upper magnetic body 25 is tilted down to open the lid portion 14, the upper magnetic body 25 is restricted from coming out of the placement recess 31, and the upper magnetic body 25 is placed in the placement recess 31. The lid 14 can be smoothly rotated around the rotation axis, and the like.
