Description of the Related Art Generally, as shown in FIG. 5, a compact is formed by hinge-connecting a lid 2 to a rear end of a container body 1 provided with a concave portion 1a for accommodating cosmetics or the like on an upper surface. . In this compact, the lid is opened by engaging an engaging claw 5 vertically provided on the front edge of the lid 2 with an engaging projection 4 provided on the inner wall of the recess 3 on the front wall of the container body 1. Have maintained. When the lid is opened, the lid 2 is lifted upward to release the engagement between the engaging claw 5 and the engaging projection 4, and the lid 2 is further lifted. Thus, the lid can be opened.

[0003] However, in the above-mentioned compact, the container body 1 has to be held with one hand and the lid 2 has to be lifted with the other hand so as to pry open, and this operation is complicated. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, shaft holes (not shown) are formed in the left and right sides of the concave portion 3 provided in the front wall surface of the container body 1, and the push holes are formed in the left and right sides of the push button 7 in the shaft holes. There has been proposed a compact in which the shaft 6 is rotatably mounted. To change the compact from the closed state to the open state, hold the compact with one hand and press the push button 7 to the back side with the thumb to rotate the compact to the position indicated by the dashed line about the shaft 6. As a result, the push-up projection 7a of the push button 7 pushes the lower surface of the engaging claw 5 of the lid 2 upward, whereby the engagement between the engaging claw 5 and the engaging projection 4 is released, and the lid 2 is slightly opened. Then, from this state, the lid 2 is pushed up with the thumb to open the lid.

[0004] The compact can be operated with one hand. However, in the above-mentioned compact, since the shaft 6 of the push button 7 is attached to the shaft hole, if the shaft support is rattled, there is a problem that an unpleasant sound is generated when the device is carried. When the engagement between the engagement claw 5 of the lid 2 and the engagement protrusion 4 of the container body 1 is firm, a force pressing the push button 7 at the time of opening the lid acts on the shaft 6, However, there is also a problem that the push button 7 comes off from the shaft hole and comes off.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and has as its object to provide a compact that does not emit an unpleasant sound when carrying or the like and that the push button does not come off when the lid is opened.

In order to achieve the above object, a compact according to the present invention comprises a lid hingedly connected to a rear end of a container body provided with an accommodation recess on an upper surface, and an upper surface open recessed portion on a front wall surface of the container body. An engagement portion is provided at a front end portion of the lid, and an engaged portion detachably engageable with the engagement portion is provided at the inner surface of the recess, and the engagement of the lid is provided at the recess. A compact U-shaped push button for releasing the engagement of the parts, and a pair of slide bases extending back and forth on both left and right sides of the concave portion, In addition to projecting a retaining projection on the near side of the upper surface of the upper surface of the upper surface of the upper surface, the inner portion of the upper surface is formed on a sliding surface that is inclined upward toward the inner side, and a horizontal plate is provided on both of the sliding table portions. It is erected to form a sliding space between the lower surface of the horizontal plate and the bottom surface of the concave portion, and the U-shaped push button is substantially U-shaped in side view. A notch is formed at the approximate center of the piece to allow the engaging portion of the lid to pass therethrough, and a projection is formed at a portion corresponding to the sliding base portion sliding surface on the back surface of the left and right sides, and the substantially U-shaped portion is formed. By positioning the U-shaped lower piece of the push button in the sliding space and pressing the push button to the back side, the U-shaped upper piece of the push button was provided on the back surface of the left and right sides of the upper piece. The protrusion is moved rearward along the sliding surface of the slide base to elastically deform the left and right portions of the U-shaped upper piece upward, thereby pushing up the front end of the lid, and The engagement between the mating portion and the engaged portion is released.

[0007]

In other words, the compact of the present invention has a substantially U-shaped push button formed on the front wall surface of the container body and formed on the front wall of the container body on the left and right sides of the upper U-shaped piece. The protrusions are retained by the retaining protrusions of the pair of left and right slide bases opposed to the recess, and the U-shaped lower piece is positioned in the sliding space provided in the recess. It is provided in a state. When the compact is changed from the closed state to the open state, the compact is held with one hand and the push button is pressed to the back with the thumb. Thereby, the two protrusions formed on the U-shaped upper piece of the push button move rearward along the sliding surfaces formed on the upper surfaces of the pair of slide tables, and this movement causes the push button to move. The left and right sides of the U-shaped upper piece are elastically deformed to push up the front end of the lid, and the engagement between the engaging portion and the engaged portion is released. Therefore, from this state, the lid is further pushed up with the thumb and opened.

Next, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments.
