[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a compact cosmetic container.

[0002]

[Prior art]

2. Description of the Related Art There is known a compact container comprising a dish-shaped container body for accommodating cosmetics and the like, and a lid member provided with a rear portion pivotally attached to a rear portion of the container body so that the upper surface of the container body can be opened and closed. ing.

[0003] In order to maintain the lid closed, these conventional containers are provided with hooks, which are vertically provided from the front end of the lid and projecting engagement ridges at the lower end thereof, are engaged with locking projections provided at the front end of the container. It is pressed from above and elastically engaged. In the case of using the engagement means between the hook and the locking projection, the hook that protrudes larger than the front part of the lid when the lid is opened impairs aesthetic appearance, and the shape of the container is a product image. It is desired to eliminate such hooks in cosmetic containers that tend to be directly connected.

The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and proposes an excellent compact cosmetic container which eliminates hooks and enables good engagement and disengagement of a lid.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the container of the present invention has an upward step 8 formed along the outer peripheral edge of the upper surface of the peripheral wall 7 and a front center of the peripheral wall 7 is recessed rearward. The container body 2 provided with the formed concave portion 9 is fitted with the peripheral wall 12 in the stepped portion 8, and the rear end portion is connected to the container body 2.
A lid 3 rotatably connected to the rear end and having an upper surface openable and closable on the upper surface of the container 2; a stepped surface 8a on both sides of the recess 9 and a lid opposed to the raised surface 8a; A concave / convex engaging means is provided between the inner surface of the peripheral wall 12 and the lid 3 is configured to be lockable. The push button 4 housed in the concave portion 9 and pivotally mounted on both sides is provided so as to be swingable. A downwardly inclined surface 16 is provided at the front lower surface of the front end of the lid 3 so as to descend forward.

[0006]

When the lower part of the push button 4 is pushed backward from the state shown in FIG. 1, the upper surface of the push button 4 pushes up the inclined surface 16 of the lid. Is done. At this time, since the upper surface of the rear part of the push button 4 is initially in contact with the rear part of the inclined surface 16, the contact sliding distance with the inclined surface 16 rising with the rotation of the push button 4 is maintained long with a small rotation width. The lid can be opened with good power transmission efficiency.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 5 show an embodiment of the present invention, in which a cosmetic compact container 1 comprises a container 2 and a lid 3.
And a push button 4.

The container body 2 has a rectangular plate shape, and has a horizontally long rectangular cosmetic storage recess 5 at the center front and a cosmetic filling recess 6 at the rear of the recess 5. Also, peripheral wall 7
An upwardly-facing step 8 having substantially the same width is provided along the outer peripheral edge of the upper surface, and a recess 9 for storing a push button is provided by recessing the center of the front surface of the peripheral wall 7 backward in a horizontally long rectangular shape. . Further, the center of the rear surface of the peripheral wall is depressed forward so that the fitting concave portion is pivotally mounted on the rear end of the lid.
10 are drilled. Small protrusions 11, 11 as one of the concave and convex engaging means are respectively provided on the stepped surface 8a near the left and right of the concave portion 9 for storing the push button.

The cover 3 has a peripheral wall fitted into the upward step 8.
12 Forming a downward-facing rectangular dish with a top wall 13 extending from the upper end, a bearing portion 14 hanging down from the center of the rear end portion is hung down in the fitting recess 10 and the lower end portion is rotatably pivoted. Container 2
The upper surface is closed so that it can be opened and closed. Further, small recessed stripes 15 and 15 as the other of the concave and convex engaging means fitted with the respective projections 11 are formed at positions corresponding to the respective projections 11 on the front inner surface of the peripheral wall 12. The lid 3 can be locked to the container 2. Further, a downwardly inclined surface 16 is provided at the center of the front portion of the peripheral wall 12 above the concave portion 9 of the container body, which is downwardly directed forward.

The push button 4 is in the form of a rectangular plate having a horizontally long front surface, and the center of the upper part on both sides is pivotally connected to the inner side walls of the recess 9 so as to be pivotable back and forth. At the rear of the upper surface of the push button 4, there is provided a projection 17 whose upper surface forms an inclined surface that comes into contact with the downward inclined surface 16 of the lid 3.

The above members are all made of synthetic resin. In the figure, reference numeral 18 denotes a mirror.

In the present invention, the means for engaging the concave and convex portions of the container 2 and the lid 3 is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and a concave ridge may be provided on the container 2 and a projection may be provided on the lid 3. Alternatively, ridges may be provided on both.

[0014]

As described above, the container according to the present invention is provided with concave and convex engaging means between the stepped vertical surface on both sides of the concave portion of the container body and the peripheral wall surface of the lid opposed to the vertical surface. Because the structure is designed to be able to stop, each unevenness is small enough to function enough to lock the lid, so there is no need for a large hook unlike the conventional product, eliminating the inconvenience that impairs aesthetics when the lid is open Is what you do. In addition, since the push button is provided at the center of both engagement means, the lid push-up surface of the push button and each engagement portion can be provided very close, and the engagement can be released with a smaller force. There are also benefits you can do.

Further, a downwardly inclined surface is provided on the lower surface at the center of the front end of the lid so as to descend forward, and at least the upper surface of the rear portion of the push button is in contact with the rear portion of the inclined surface. Since the engagement of the portions can be sufficiently released, the force can be efficiently transmitted, the depth of the container body concave portion can be reduced, and a wide variety of design forms can be adopted.
