[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ventilation structure for a space for accommodating a foundation application member such as a sponge or a puff in a compact case for cosmetics, especially for a foundation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a compact case for cosmetics differs in accessories and the like housed therein depending on the application. In a compact case for foundation, a water-absorbing coating member such as a sponge is housed.

FIG. 5 shows a ventilation structure formed at the bottom of a sponge accommodating portion 10 of a conventional compact case for a foundation. In this ventilation structure, vertical ribs 11 and horizontal ribs 12 are formed at regular intervals in both the vertical and horizontal directions in a lattice shape, and a large number of rectangular ventilation holes 13 are provided therebetween. The inside and outside of the sponge storage unit 10 are ventilated, and the sponge containing moisture placed on the sponge storage unit 10 is dried.

However, the vertical ribs 11 and the horizontal ribs 12 are formed at the same level with respect to the bottom surface of the sponge storage section 10, and the upper surfaces of the vertical ribs 11 and the horizontal ribs 12 are flat surfaces. Except for the vent hole 13, it is in a state of close contact, and there is a problem that sufficient drying cannot be performed at this location.

On the other hand, the vertical ribs 11 are formed to have the same thickness as the bottom of the sponge accommodating portion 10, and the horizontal ribs 12 are formed shorter than the vertical ribs 11. A relief portion 14 is formed, and a plurality of ventilation holes 13 formed in a row at regular intervals are in communication.

However, since both ends of these vertical ribs 11 are closed, when the compact is placed on a flat surface, the air escape portion 14 is in a sealed state, and there is a drawback that ventilation between the inside and outside of the compact cannot be performed. Was.

[0007]

The problem to be solved by the present invention is that the sponge, puff, etc., which are stored in the compact sponge storage section, are sufficiently dried except for the portion where the foundation coating member comes into contact with the ventilation hole. If the compact is placed on a flat surface such as a table, ventilation between the inside and outside of the compact will not be performed.

[0008]

Means for solving the problems of the present invention include a foundation and an application member storage section for storing a foundation application member such as a sponge or a puff. In a cosmetic compact case having a lattice-shaped ventilation portion for ventilating inside and outside at a bottom portion, the ventilation portion has first ribs arranged side by side at an appropriate interval on the surface side of the application member storage portion, and A second rib is formed on the outer surface side of the coating member housing portion and is arranged side by side at an appropriate interval so as to be orthogonal to the first ribs. A large number of ventilation holes are formed from each of the two ribs, and both ends of each of the inverted concave air escape portions formed between the second ribs are open.

[0009]

According to the above-mentioned makeup compact case, only the first rib makes line contact with the foundation application member such as sponge or puff having moisture, and the foundation application member can be dried evenly. Even if the case is placed on a flat base or the like, the air escape portion formed on the outer bottom portion of the case has both ends open, so that ventilation between the inside and outside is ensured.

[0010]

1 to 4 show an embodiment of a compact cosmetic case according to the present invention. In the compact case for makeup of this embodiment, a foundation 2 is provided in a vertically long case main body 1A, a sponge storage portion 3 is formed on the near side, and a mirror M is provided on an inner surface via a hinge 4 provided on a rear end portion. The lid 1B is openable and closable and unlockable by a lock mechanism 5 provided at the front end.

At the bottom of the sponge storage section 3, there is formed a ventilation section A having a lattice shape substantially the same size as the sponge to be stored. The ventilation portion A is composed of a plurality of first ribs 6 extending in the longitudinal direction and a plurality of second ribs 7 extending in the width direction and orthogonal to the first ribs 6. A ventilation hole 8 is formed at a location where the 6 and the second rib 7 intersect in a grid pattern.

The first ribs 6 are formed on the upper surface side of the sponge housing section 3 at regular intervals, and the tops thereof are formed in a curved shape convex upward. As shown in FIG. 3, the second rib 7 is located below the first rib 6,
, And both ends of these second ribs 7 extend to both sides in the width direction of the case body 1A. Therefore, an inverted concave air escape portion formed between the second ribs 7 is formed. Both ends of 9 are open as shown in FIG.

As described above, in the ventilation portion A formed in the sponge storage portion 3, only the first ribs 6 are formed on the inner surface side in the longitudinal direction, and the sponge contacts only the tops of these first ribs 6. Since the sponge is stored in a state, the sponge is ventilated over substantially the entirety, so that the sponge can be quickly dried. In particular, by making the top surface of the first rib 6 curved as in the present embodiment, the sponge is substantially It can be placed in a line contact state, and the ventilation action can be further improved.

On the other hand, the inside and outside of the sponge storage section 3 are ventilated through a large number of ventilation holes 8, but all the ventilation holes communicate with a large number of air escape portions 9 formed in the width direction.
Even when the compact case is placed on a flat surface, moisture does not stay in the sponge storage section 3 and the ventilation action is secured through both ends of the air escape section 9 to prevent the sponge from generating mold. can do.

In the above-described embodiment, a sponge has been described as an example of a foundation coating member, but a puff may be used.

[0016]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the moistened sponge or puff or other foundation-applied member accommodated in the compact case can be dried quickly and evenly over almost the entirety. Can be.

Further, even if the compact case is placed on a flat surface, it is possible to ensure the air permeability inside and outside the application member storage section such as a sponge.
