[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

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

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A container body and a lid for opening and closing the upper surface of the container body are pivotally connected at respective rear portions, and a lower end of a hook hanging down from a front portion of the lid to a lower surface of an engaging ridge provided on a front portion of the container body. 2. Description of the Related Art There is known a compact container in which a lid is closed so as to be kept closed, and the hook is pushed up by a push button pivotally attached to the front surface of the container body to release the engagement and close the lid.

[0003]

The conventional compact container described above has the inconvenience of having to use both hands since the container is held by one hand and the push button is pressed by the other hand.

In the present invention, a notch is formed in both left and right side walls of a container body, an elastic ring is mounted on an upper surface of a bottom wall of the container body, and a front plate portion is formed by a front portion of the elastic ring and both left and right portions. And the connecting plate portion are protruded from the respective distal end portions, and the engaging plate portion and the pushing plate portion fitted into the notch are respectively erected, and attached to the upper end of the rear surface of the engaging plate portion. A hook hanging from the front of the lid was engaged with the lower surface of the engaging ridge, and the lid was provided so that the lid could be opened by pushing the pushing plate portion with one hand holding the container.

[0005]

A container body and a lid for opening and closing the upper surface of the container body are pivotally attached at respective rear portions, and the container body hangs down from the front of the lid to a lower surface of an engaging ridge attached to a front portion of the container body. In the compact container in which the lower end of the hook to be engaged is engaged to keep the lid closed, notches 5 and 5 are formed at the middle in the front-rear direction of the left and right side walls of the container body 1 and the upper surface of the bottom wall 3 of the container body. From the circular shallow groove 8 provided at the center, the front shallow groove 9 to the front part of the bottom wall 3, and the left and right lateral shallow grooves 10, 10 continuing to the notches 5, 5 at the left and right parts of the bottom wall 3, each extended, also loosely fitted into the circular shallow groove 8, the front-rear direction
The front plate portion 17 is inserted into the front shallow groove 9 and the horizontal shallow grooves 10, 10 from the front portion and the left and right portions of the elliptical elastic ring 16 having a long diameter.
And connecting plate portions 18 and 18 projecting from the respective leading end portions, the engaging plate portion 2 provided with the engaging ridge 19 at the upper end of the rear surface.
0 and the push plate 2 fitted into the notches 5 and 5
1 and 21 respectively, and the front plate 17
Between the front end and the front end of the front shallow groove 9, the push-in plate portions 21, 21 against the elasticity of the elastic ring 16 are pushed inward until the engagement between the engaging ridge 19 and the hook 29 is released. The gap 23 was formed so that the plate portion 17 could be advanced.

[0006]

When the push plate portions 21 and 21 are pushed inward from the state of FIG. 2 against the elasticity of the elastic ring 16, the elastic ring 16 is pushed from both left and right directions and extends back and forth, and together with the front plate portion 17, The engaging plate portion 20 moves forward, the hook 29 comes off from the lower surface of the engaging ridge 19, and the lid 24 is opened by the elastic restoring force of the mustache spring 28.
When the press-down plate portions 21, 21 are released, the elastic ring 16 resiliently returns the engaging plate portion 20, and from this state, if the front portion of the lid 24 is tilted forward, the hook 29 Are engaged to maintain the closed state.

It extends forward and backward, and the extended portion is engaged with the inner surface of the side wall of the container body. In addition, a gap 23 is formed between the front end of the front plate 17 and the front end of the above-described front shallow groove 9, and the length of the gap in the front-rear direction is set within the pushing plate 21, 21 which resists the elasticity of the elastic ring 16. The length is set such that the front plate portion 17 can be advanced by pushing in one direction to disengage the engagement between the engaging ridge 19 and the hook 29 described later.

Reference numeral 24 denotes a lid, which fits between the bearings 7 and 7 from the rear edge of the mirrored top plate 25 which opens and closes the upper surface of the container body 1 described above, and the bearing plate 26 hangs down. Plate and bearing part 7,
7 is pivotally connected with a pin shaft 27, and a spring 28 with a whisker for urging the lid in the opening direction is attached to the pivoted portion. Also, top plate 25
The hook 29 hangs down from the front part through the hook insertion hole 15 and is engaged with the lower surface of the engagement ridge 19.

Except for the spring 28 with beard, each member is formed of a synthetic resin material.

[0013]

[Effects of the Invention] The present invention has the above-described structure, and has notches 5 and 5 formed in the left and right side walls of the container body 1.
A front shallow groove 9 extends from a circular shallow groove 8 provided at the center of the upper surface of the bottom wall 3 of the container body to a front portion of the bottom wall 3 and a lateral shallow groove 1 extends to both left and right portions of the bottom wall 3.
0, 10 are respectively extended, and the front plate portion is inserted into the front shallow groove 9 and the horizontal shallow grooves 10, 10 from the front portion and both left and right portions of the elastic ring 16 loosely fitted in the circular shallow groove 8. 17 and connecting plate portions 18, 18, respectively, and an engaging plate portion 20 provided with an engaging ridge 19 at the upper end of the rear surface from each of the leading end portions, and a pushing fit into the notches 5, 5. Since the plate portions 21 and 21 are erected respectively, the pushing plate portions 21 and 21 are pushed inward by the operation of only one hand holding the container, and the front plate portion 17 is advanced, so that the lid 24 Hook 29
And the engagement ridge 19 can be disengaged,
The lid can be opened with one hand operation, which is extremely convenient. Also ammunition
The front plate 17 projects from the front of the sex ring 16 into the front shallow groove 9
Of the engagement plate 20 rising from the front end of the front plate.
