BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a compact container capable of detachably attaching a cosmetic storage drum to a main body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Japanese Patent Publication No. Sho 62-8801 discloses a compact container in which a cosmetic storage drum is detachably attached to a main body so that a portable cosmetic can be refilled. There is a technology disclosed in US Pat.

[0003] In this conventional technique, a drum is stored in a drum storage portion formed in a main body while being elastically urged forward.
The front lower end of the drum is locked, and the upper surface of the rear end edge of the drum is locked and fitted.When replacing the drum, the drum is slightly retracted against the elasticity to release the lock on the front end. Thus, the drum can be detached from the drum accommodating portion, and there is an advantage that the drum can be easily replaced.

[0004]

However, in the above prior art, the spring plate, which is a part for applying elastic force to the fitted and assembled drum, is simply erected in such a form that the tip is in elastic contact with the drum. With this configuration, the tip of the spring plate needs to be elastically contacted with the most protruding portion of the rear surface of the drum, and there is a problem that the configuration of the drum or the spring plate is limited.

Further, the spring plate in the prior art is such that the distal end portion is displaced back and forth by elastic deformation while the proximal end is fixed, so that the proximal end is immovable. It is necessary to provide a space between the drum and the drum, apart from a gap that allows the spring plate to be elastically deformed, enough to release the front end face of the drum from the drum storage section of the main body. For this reason, the setting of the dimensional relationship of the main body with respect to the drum is troublesome, and a gap that cannot function as a storage space must be provided, so that the miniaturization of the compact container cannot be sufficiently achieved. there were.

Therefore, the present invention has been devised in order to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, and urges a pressing force forward on a drum fitted and assembled in a drum storage portion of a main body. It is an object of the present invention to make it possible to displace the entire part to be moved in the front-rear direction, thereby simplifying the combined structure of the main body and the drum and not forming a useless space in the compact container. .

[0007]

Means for solving the above-mentioned problems are as follows: a partition wall piece which is erected on a bottom wall and has a locking ridge protruding at an upper end of a rear surface; On the rear side wall portion facing the rear surface, a notch formed in the bottom wall, and a pressing piece provided via a telescopic arm piece that is elastically displaceable back and forth,
And a projecting piece protruding from the front end edge of the rear top wall, which is positioned above the pressing piece, and having a short-bottomed cylindrical main body having a drum storage section defined therein. To
It has a lid that is hinged so that it can be opened and closed freely. At the lower end of the front surface, a locking piece that locks from below on the locking ridge of the main body is projected, and the height from the upper surface of the bottom wall of the main body to the lower surface of the overhanging piece is raised. A bottomed short cylindrical cosmetic having a width equal to the height and a front-rear width in which the rear surface is elastically contacted with the pressing piece of the main body in a state where the locking piece is locked to the locking ridge of the main body. Having a storage drum.

[0008] An inner kerf provided on the bottom wall in a loop shape curved left and right toward the rear, and a left and right curve parallel to the inner kerf and formed in a loop from the bottom wall to the rear side wall. It is preferable to form a telescopic arm piece on the bottom wall portion by the provided outer cut groove, and to integrally form a pressing piece at the rear end of the telescopic arm piece on the rear side wall portion.

It is preferable that a protrusion having a height higher than that of the engaging piece of the drum is provided at the upper end of the front surface of the pressing piece, and it is preferable that the overhanging piece be provided over the entire width of the drum housing.

A main body is a bottomed short cylindrical outer frame body hinged to a lid at a rear end, and a bottomed short cylindrical shape fitted and assembled in the outer frame body to form a drum housing. It is effective to form a frame.

The drum is constructed by projecting locking pieces at the lower ends of the front and rear surfaces. Also, the drum is formed by projecting protruding eaves having substantially the same height as the locking pieces at the upper edges of the front and rear faces. It is preferable that the engaging concave portion is further depressed at the center of both front and rear surfaces.

[0012]

In the state where the drum is assembled to the drum storage portion of the main body, the rear surface of the drum is elastically contacted with the pressing piece of the main body, and the locking piece is locked from below the locking ridge of the main body. And the rear end of the upper surface is in contact with the lower surface of the overhanging piece of the main body, so that the main body cannot be detached.

In this state, when the drum is pulled up while applying a pressing force to the front surface of the drum, the drum is retracted integrally with the pressing piece against the elasticity of the telescopic arm piece, and is locked to the locking ridge of the main body. Since the locking of the piece is released and the front end thereof is lifted from the drum housing, the drum is pulled out of the drum housing in this state.

[0014] The fitting of the drum into the drum storage portion of the main body is performed by moving the pressing piece backward between the projecting piece and the bottom wall while reversing the elasticity of the telescopic arm piece. This is achieved by inserting the locking piece over the locking ridge and then lowering the front end of the drum to lock the locking piece to the locking ridge.

As is apparent from the above-mentioned state of the main body being assembled to the drum housing and the manner of operation of attaching and detaching the drum to and from the drum housing, the pressing piece of the main body is formed by an elastic arm which is elastically deformable in the longitudinal direction. Since it is provided,
Due to the elastic deformation of the telescopic arm, the entire arm moves in the front-rear direction, so that the pressing piece may hinder the displacement of the drum in the front-rear direction with respect to the drum accommodating portion for attachment / detachment. Absent.

Further, since the entire pressing piece is displaced back and forth, the position of the rear surface of the pressed drum is not limited. Therefore, a gap is formed between the pressing piece and the rear surface of the drum when pressed against the drum. There is no need to form it.

[0017]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The main body 1 has a bottomed short rectangular cylindrical outer frame body 2 having a mirror 19 fixed to the inner surface and a hinge piece 18 protruding from the rear end, and a hinged piece 18 hinged to the rear end. ,
An inner frame body 3 having a bottomed short rectangular cylindrical body composed of a bottom wall 4 and a side wall 5 fitted into the outer frame body 2 and having a top wall 6 continuously provided in an outer flange shape from the upper edge of the side wall 5; It is composed of

At a substantially central portion of the middle frame 3, a partition wall piece 8 having a low height in the form of traversing left and right is provided with a bottom wall 4 and left and right side walls 5.
By providing the partition wall pieces 8, the inside of the middle frame 3 is divided into a front tool storage section 16 and a rear drum storage section 15. At the upper edge of the center of the rear surface of the partition wall piece 8, a locking ridge 9 is provided in a laterally ridge shape.

In the rear half portion of the bottom wall 4 located behind the locking ridge 9, an inner kerf 11 which is curved left and right in a form crushed back and forth is formed in a loop shape with the front side as a base end. Outside the inner cut groove 11, the bottom wall 4 is positioned parallel to the inner cut groove 11, and the outer cut groove 10 rising continuously from the bottom wall 4 to the rear side wall 5 is formed on the front side. A state in which a telescopic arm piece 12 that advances and elastically deforms in the front-rear direction on the bottom wall 4 and a rear end of the telescopic arm piece 12 on the rear side wall 5 by being drilled in a loop as an end. Thus, a pressing piece 13 having a protruding piece 14 protruding from an upper edge of the front surface is provided in an upright state.

At the front edge of the rear top wall 6, a projecting piece 7 is projected in a laterally projecting strip shape over its entire length. The projecting height of the projecting piece 7 is determined by the locking piece 21 of the drum 20. In order to secure abutment with the upper surface of the rear end portion of the drum 20 in a state of being locked to the locking ridge 9, the value is set to be larger than the height of the locking ridge 9 projecting.

The drum 20 for storing and holding the cosmetic 24 is
A ridge-shaped locking piece 21 that locks from below into the locking ridge 9 protrudes from the lower end edge of the center of the front and rear surfaces of the short rectangular tube having a bottom that is fitted into the drum housing 15 with almost no gap. At the same time, an eave piece 23 having a protruding height substantially equal to that of the locking piece 21 is protruded from the upper end edges of the front and rear surfaces over the entire lateral width range, and furthermore, the engaging recess 22 is shallowly depressed at the center of the front and rear surfaces. With such a configuration, the front-back direction is eliminated and the handling is convenient.

The overhanging piece 23 of the drum 20 has a larger width at the front and rear surfaces of the drum 20, so that the locking piece 21 is locked on the locking ridge 9 and the rear upper face of the drum 20 is extended. 7 is securely locked from below.

The engaging recess 22 provides a place where the protruding piece 14 of the pressing piece 13 abuts.
2 to prevent the pressing piece 13 pressed against the drum 20 from being displaced to the left and right.
The pressing action of the pressing piece 13 against the zero is made stable.

The locking piece 21 and the eaves 23 of the drum 20
The reason why the protrusion heights of the locking pieces 21 and the locking projections 9 are released is that one of the locking pieces 21 and the eaves pieces 23 is released when the drum 20 is taken out of the drum storage portion 15. This is to prevent the main body 1 from hitting the rear side wall 5 before being removed.

When the inner frame 3 is fitted into the outer frame 2 and assembled, the distance between the pressing piece 13 and the rear side wall of the outer frame 2 is slightly smaller than the height of the projection of the locking ridge 9. A gap with a large value is formed, and the pressing piece 13 elastically deforms the telescopic arm piece 12 to be able to retreat by the gap.

[0026]

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, the following effects can be obtained. Since the pressing piece that holds the engagement of the drum with the main body is configured to move the whole in the front-rear direction, the drum is caught on a part of the pressing piece, which is inconvenient for the operation of attaching and detaching the drum to and from the main body. Does not occur at all, and a smooth and reliable operation of attaching and detaching the drum can be obtained.

Since the pressing piece is configured to be displaced in the front-back direction, there is no danger that the drum will hit the immovable portion of the pressing piece when the drum is attached or detached. There is no need to provide a space for “escape”, and it is only necessary to adopt a configuration in which the pressing piece simply abuts on the drum. Therefore, there is no need to form a useless space in a compact container that is a portable article, and the internal space is effective. It can be used, and the setting of the assembling dimensional relationship between the main body and the drum is simplified.
