Description

The present invention relates to compact containers.

Conventionally, as shown in Patent Document 1 below, for example, a container body has a container body in which the contents are stored, a lid body that releasably closes the container part, and an application part to which the contents are attached. A compact container including a holding member is known. In this compact container, with the lid open and the storage section open, the applicator is brought into contact with the contents, the contents adhere to the tip of the applicator, and then the applicator is brought into contact with the area to be coated. By doing so, the contents can be applied to the area to be coated.

By the way, when the container body accommodates a plurality of types of contents, it is desirable to prepare an application section for each type of contents in order to avoid clouding of the contents. In this case, by forming each applicator to be removably attached to the gripping shaft, it is possible to reduce the storage space of the gripping shaft in the container body, thereby making it possible to downsize the compact container.

However, if the applicator is formed to be removably attached to the grip shaft, there is a problem in that it takes time and effort to attach and detach the grip shaft when the applicator is used.

Therefore, the present invention provides a compact container in which the applicator and the gripping shaft can be easily attached and detached.

A compact container according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a container main body having a storage recess that opens upward, and a lid that is connected to the container main body and closes the storage recess so as to be openable from above, The storage recess has a content storage part in which the contents are stored, a grip shaft storage part in which the grip shaft is stored, and an application part storage part in which the application part is attached to and detached from the grip shaft, and the container An opening is formed in a side surface of the main body and communicates with the applicator accommodating part and allows the gripping shaft to be inserted in the axial direction along the central axis thereof, and the applicator is connected to the gripping shaft. It is accommodated in the applicator accommodating portion with the connecting portion facing the opening.

According to the first aspect, the grip shaft attached to the applicator can enter the applicator housing through the opening. Therefore, the gripping shaft can be attached to the connecting portion of the applicator without removing the applicator from the container body. Furthermore, after the applicator attached to the gripping shaft is accommodated in the applicator accommodating section, the gripping shaft can be separated from the applicator and exited from the applicator accommodating section through the opening. Therefore, it is possible to save the effort of storing the applicator removed from the grip shaft in the container body. Therefore, the applicator and the grip shaft can be easily attached and detached.

In a compact container according to a second aspect of the present invention, in the compact container according to the first aspect, the gripping shaft rotates in one direction around the central axis relative to the applicator. A rotation regulating portion may be provided in the coating portion accommodating portion to regulate rotational movement of the coating portion in the one direction.

According to the second aspect, by rotationally moving the gripping shaft in one direction with respect to the container body, rotational movement in one direction of the applicator part that attempts to rotate together with the gripping shaft is restricted, so that the gripping shaft can be rotated in one direction. can be rotated in one direction relative to the application section. Therefore, since the grip shaft is detached from the application section, the grip shaft can be removed from the application section with a simple operation.

A method of using the compact container 1 and applicator 50 of this embodiment will be explained.
To attach the applicator 60 to the gripping shaft 70, the lid 40 is opened and the gripping shaft 70 is taken out from the container body 10. Next, the gripping shaft 70 is inserted into the connecting portion 62 of the applicator 60 in the applicator housing 23 through the first opening 36 of the container body 10 that corresponds to the applicator 60 to be used. Insert the tip. At this time, the connecting portion 62 comes into contact with the partition portion 31 and is restricted from shifting to the left. In the process of inserting the tip of the gripping shaft 70 inside the connecting portion 62, the engaged protrusion 71 of the gripping shaft 70 is undercut-fitted to the engaging protrusion 63 of the connecting portion 62, so that the application portion 60 is It is attached to the grip shaft 70. Thereafter, the applicator 50 is moved upward so that the applicator 60 passes through the upper opening of the applicator accommodating portion 23, and the applicator 60 is taken out from the container body 10 while being integrated with the grip shaft 70.

Subsequently, in order to remove the applicator 60 from the grip shaft 70, the applicator 60 is placed in the applicator accommodating portion 23 corresponding to the applicator 60 through the upper opening. Next, the grip shaft 70 is rotated in a predetermined direction around the central axis Q with respect to the container body 10. As a result, although the applicator 60 attempts to rotate together with the grip shaft 70, the rotation regulating convex portion 64 of the connecting portion 62 comes into contact with the upper end of the rotation regulating portion 32 of the applicator housing 23. The rotational movement of the connecting portion 62 relative to the connecting portion 62 is restricted. As a result, the connecting portion 62 and the gripping shaft 70 rotate relative to each other, the guide mechanism 51 functions, and the connecting portion 62 and the gripping shaft 70 are disengaged. In this state, by displacing the gripping shaft 70 to the right away from the container body 10, the gripping shaft 70 is removed from the applicator 60, and the applicator 60 is housed independently in the container body 10. .

As described above, the compact container 1 of the present embodiment has a first opening in the side surface of the container body 10 that communicates with the applicator housing section 23 and allows the grip shaft 70 of the applicator 50 to be inserted in the axial direction. The configuration is such that a portion 36 is formed. Thereby, the grip shaft 70 attached to the applicator 60 can enter the applicator housing section 23 through the first opening 36 . Therefore, the grip shaft 70 can be attached to the connecting portion 62 of the applicator 60 without removing the applicator 60 from the container body 10. Further, after the applicator 60 attached to the gripping shaft 70 is accommodated in the applicator accommodating section 23, the gripping shaft 70 can be separated from the applicator 60 and exited from the applicator accommodating section 23 through the first opening 36. can. Therefore, it is possible to save the effort of storing the applicator 60 removed from the grip shaft 70 in the container body 10. Therefore, the applicator 60 and the grip shaft 70 can be easily attached and detached.

Furthermore, the grip shaft 70 is detached from the applicator 60 as it rotates in one direction relative to the applicator 60 . The applicator housing section 23 is provided with a rotation restricting section 32 that restricts rotational movement of the applicator 60 in one direction. According to this configuration, by rotationally moving the gripping shaft 70 in one direction with respect to the container body 10, rotation of the applicator 60 in one direction, which attempts to rotate together with the gripping shaft 70, is restricted, so that the gripping shaft 70 can be rotated in one direction. The shaft 70 can be rotated in one direction with respect to the applicator 60. Therefore, the gripping shaft 70 is detached from the applicator 60, so that the gripping shaft 70 can be removed from the applicator 60 with a simple operation.

The projecting pieces 72 that are adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction are separated by a notch that extends along the axial direction from the tip end edge of the grip shaft 70A. The projecting piece portion 72 is capable of being bent and deformed in the radial direction. The engaging claw 73 is provided at the tip of each projecting piece 72. The engaging claw 73 projects outward in the radial direction from the projecting piece 72 . The engaging claw 73 enters into the engaging recess 65 of the connecting portion 62A, thereby making an undercut fit to the connecting portion 62A. As a result, the grip shaft 70A is integrated with the applicator 60A, and the applicator 60A is restricted from detaching from the grip shaft 70A.

The connecting portion 62A and the gripping shaft 70A are provided with a restriction release mechanism 55 instead of the guide mechanism 51 of the first embodiment. The restriction release mechanism 55 includes an inclined surface 73a that faces one of the engaging claws 73 of the gripping shaft 70A in the circumferential direction. The inclined surface 73a comes into sliding contact with the opening edge of the engagement recess 65 as the connecting portion 62A and the gripping shaft 70A rotate relative to each other, and the engagement claw 73 is displaced radially inward while the protruding portion 72 is elastically deformed. let As a result, the undercut fitting of the engaging claw 73 is disengaged, and the applicator 60A becomes detachable from the gripping shaft 70A.

Even when the applicator 50A described above is housed in the compact container 1, the same effects as in the first embodiment can be achieved.

[Second embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 12. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment mainly in the configurations of the applicator and the applicator housing. Note that the configuration other than that described below is the same as that of the first embodiment.

The applicator 150 will be explained.
FIG. 8 is a plan view showing an example of the applicator accommodated in the compact container of the second embodiment, and shows a state in which the applicator is attached to the grip shaft. Note that in FIG. 8, a part of the connecting portion 162 is shown broken (the same applies to FIG. 9).
As shown in FIG. 8, the applicator 160 includes a connecting portion 162 instead of the connecting portion 62 of the first embodiment. The connecting portion 162 includes a columnar shaft portion 66 that extends in the axial direction, and a flange 67 that projects outward in the radial direction from the end of the shaft portion 66 on the chip 61 side.

FIG. 9 is a plan view showing a part of the applicator shown in FIG. 8, showing a state in which the applicator is separated from the grip shaft.
As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a groove 68 is formed in the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 66, into which an engaging portion 74, which will be described later, is inserted. A plurality of grooves 68 are provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. However, only one groove 68 may be provided. The groove 68 includes a guide portion 68a extending in the axial direction and a locking portion 68b extending in one circumferential direction from the guide portion 68a. The guide portion 68a is open at the end surface of the shaft portion 66 on the opposite side from the tip 61. The locking portion 68b extends from the end of the guide portion 68a on the chip 61 side so as not to connect to other grooves 68. The locking portion 68b is provided with a regulating protrusion 162a that restricts displacement of the engaging portion 74 disposed on the locking portion 68b toward the guide portion 68a. The regulating protrusion 162a projects inward in the width direction of the locking portion 68b from the side wall surface of the locking portion 68b. The flange 67 extends along the entire circumference in the circumferential direction. The outer shape of the flange 67 is circular.

The tip of the gripping shaft 170 is formed into a cylindrical shape that is open toward the applicator 160 side. The tip of the gripping shaft 170 can be inserted into the connecting portion 162 of the applicator 160 . The leading edge of the gripping shaft 170 abuts against the flange 67 of the connecting portion 162 . This restricts the grip shaft 170 from approaching the applicator 160.

An engaging portion 74 that protrudes radially inward is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the tip of the gripping shaft 170. A plurality of engaging portions 74 are provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. The engaging portions 74 are provided in the same number as the grooves 68 of the applicator 160 . The engaging portion 74 enters into the locking portion 68b of the groove 68 of the application portion 160, and displacement in the axial direction is regulated. As a result, the applicator 160 is in a state where it is restricted from detaching from the grip shaft 170 (the state shown in FIG. 8). When the engaging portion 74 is displaced from the locking portion 68b of the groove 68 to the guide portion 68a over the regulating protrusion 162a as the connecting portion 162 and the gripping shaft 170 rotate relative to each other, the engaging portion 74 is allowed to be displaced in the axial direction. As a result, the applicator 160 becomes detachable from the grip shaft 170.

The compact container 101 will be explained.
FIG. 10 is a plan view of the compact container of the second embodiment, showing the lid open state. FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view of a portion corresponding to the line XI-XI in FIG. 10. Note that FIG. 10 shows a state in which an inner lid 17, which will be described later, is opened.
As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the container body 110 is provided with an applicator housing section 123 instead of the applicator housing section 23 of the first embodiment. The applicator accommodating section 123 accommodates the applicator 160 one by one. The applicator accommodating part 123 accommodates the applicator 160 in a state where the direction in which the chip 61 and the connecting part 162 of the applicator 160 are lined up is along the left-right direction. At this time, the applicator 160 is accommodated in the applicator accommodating part 123 with the chip 61 facing the content accommodating part 21 side and the connecting part 162 facing the first opening 136 described later. The upper opening of the applicator housing section 123 is formed so that the applicator section 160 can pass therethrough while remaining in the posture arranged in the applicator housing section 123 .

The applicator housing section 123 is provided with a rotation regulating section 132 . The rotation regulating portion 132 has a pair of protrusions 132a that protrude inwardly in the front-rear direction from both front and rear wall surfaces. The protruding portion 132a has a constant thickness in the front-rear direction and extends from the bottom surface of the applicator housing portion 123 to the upper opening. The protruding portion 132a extends from a midway point in the left-right direction of the applicator accommodating portion 123 toward the content accommodating portion 21 side. In this embodiment, the protruding portion 132a extends to the end of the application portion accommodating portion 123 on the content accommodating portion 21 side. The pair of protrusions 132a are formed at intervals in the front-rear direction. The pair of protruding parts 132a are arranged to sandwich the chip 61 and the flange 67 of the connecting part 162 when viewed from above. The pair of protrusions 132a are in pressure contact with the flange 67 of the connecting portion 162. Thereby, the rotation regulating section 132 regulates the rotation of the connecting section 162 with respect to the container main body 110.

Note that the outer shape of the flange 67 of the connecting portion 162 is not limited to a circular shape. The flange 67 only needs to be restricted from rotating between the pair of protrusions 132a, and may have a non-circular (for example, polygonal) outer shape. By making the outer shape of the flange non-circular, the degree of pressure contact between the pair of protrusions 132a and the flange can be weakened, and rotation of the flange can be restricted by abutment of the flange against the protrusion 132a.

FIG. 12 is a right side view of the compact container of the second embodiment. Note that FIG. 12 shows the lid 40 in an open state with a solid line, and the lid 40 in a closed state with a virtual line.
As shown in FIGS. 10 and 12, the applicator accommodating portion 123 communicates with the first opening 136. As shown in FIGS. The first opening 136 is formed on the right side surface 110a of the container body 110, and opens the applicator housing section 123 to the right. The first opening 136 is provided for each applicator housing section 123. The first opening 136 opens to the right independently of the upper opening of the applicator housing section 123 . The first opening 136 allows the tip of the gripping shaft 170 to be inserted therethrough in the axial direction. The opening edge of the first opening 136 is located on the outside of the entire applicator 160 accommodated in the applicator accommodating section 123 when viewed from the opening direction of the first opening 136 . Thereby, the first opening 136 allows the applicator 160 to be inserted therethrough. Note that in this embodiment, the second opening 37 of the first embodiment is not formed in the right side surface 110a of the container body 110, and the grip shaft accommodating portion 27 opens only on the upper surface of the container body 110.

As shown in FIG. 10, the compact container 101 further includes an inner lid 17. The inner lid 17 covers the content storage section 21 inside the lid body 40. The inner lid 17 is formed into a rectangular flat plate so as to cover all the content storage sections 21 but not to cover the application section storage section 123 and the grip shaft storage section 27. The inner lid 17 is connected to an edge (left edge) on the upper surface of the container body 110 on the opposite side to the applicator accommodating section 123 with the content accommodating section 21 interposed therebetween. Thereby, the inner lid 17 can be opened and closed in the left and right directions with respect to the container body 110. In this embodiment, the inner lid 17 is integrally molded with the container body 110 and is rotatable relative to the container body 110 using a connecting portion between the inner lid 17 and the container body 110 as a hinge. However, the inner lid may be provided separately from the container body 110.

A method of using the compact container 101 and applicator 150 of this embodiment will be explained.
To attach the applicator 160 to the gripping shaft 170, the lid 40 is opened and the gripping shaft 170 is taken out from the container body 110. Note that there is no need to open the inner lid 17 when taking out the applicator 150 from the container body 110. Next, the tip of the gripping shaft 170 is inserted into the connecting portion 162 of the applicator 160 in the applicator housing section 123 through the first opening 136 of the container body 110 that corresponds to the applicator 160 to be used. Extrapolate. At this time, the connecting portion 162 is restricted from being displaced to the left by, for example, friction between the pair of protrusions 132a and the flange 67.

When the tip of the gripping shaft 170 is inserted into the connecting portion 162, the engaging portion 74 of the gripping shaft 170 is caused to pass through the guide portion 68a of the groove 68 of the connecting portion 162. Then, the grip shaft 170 is rotated relative to the container body 110 while the tip of the grip shaft 170 is in contact with the flange 67 of the connecting portion 162 . As a result, although the applicator 160 attempts to rotate together with the gripping shaft 170, the flange 67 of the connecting portion 162 comes into pressure contact with the pair of protrusions 132a of the rotation regulating portion 132, and the rotation of the connecting portion 162 with respect to the container body 110 is restricted. be done. As a result, the connecting portion 162 and the gripping shaft 170 rotate relative to each other, and the engaging portion 74 of the gripping shaft 170 rides over the regulating protrusion 162a of the connecting portion 162 and is displaced from the guide portion 68a of the groove 68 to the locking portion 68b. When the engaging portion 74 enters the locking portion 68b of the groove 68, the applicator 160 is restricted from detaching from the grip shaft 170, and the applicator 160 is attached to the grip shaft 170. Thereafter, by moving the applicator 150 to the right so that the applicator 160 passes through the first opening 136 of the container body 110, the applicator 160 is taken out from the container body 110 with the applicator 160 integrated with the grip shaft 170. It will be done.

Subsequently, in order to remove the applicator 160 from the grip shaft 170, the applicator 160 is placed in the applicator accommodating part 123 corresponding to the applicator 160 through the first opening 136 of the container body 110. Next, the grip shaft 170 is rotated relative to the container body 110. As a result, although the applicator 160 attempts to rotate together with the gripping shaft 170, the rotation of the connecting portion 162 relative to the container body 110 is restricted by the rotation regulating portion 132, as in the case where the applicator 160 is attached to the gripping shaft 170. Ru. As a result, the connecting portion 162 and the gripping shaft 170 rotate relative to each other, and the engaging portion 74 of the gripping shaft 170 rides over the regulating protrusion 162a of the connecting portion 162 and is displaced from the locking portion 68b of the groove 68 to the guide portion 68a. When the engaging portion 74 enters the guide portion 68a of the groove 68, the application portion 160 becomes detachable from the grip shaft 170. Thereafter, by moving the gripping shaft 170 to the right, the gripping shaft 170 is removed from the applicator 160 while allowing the engaging portion 74 to pass through the guide portion 68a of the groove 68, and the applicator 160 is independently attached to the container body. 110.
