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-mentioned prior art, since the engagement with the drum main body is achieved and maintained only by the elasticity of the spring plate, the elasticity of the spring plate is reduced by the engagement with the main body of the drum. It is necessary to make the drum strong enough to secure the stop assembly. Therefore, when assembling the drum to the main body, a large operating force is required, and the operation of assembling the drum to the main body is not easy. was there.

[0005] Further, when the drum is engaged with the main body, the drum is locked only in the front-rear direction and the vertical direction, but not in the left-right direction. The width of the drum was adjusted exactly to prevent the rattling of the drum with respect to the main body from occurring in the left and right direction.This, however, required high molding dimensional accuracy of the separate main body and drum. In particular, there is a problem that the allowable dimensional error range of the drum is narrowed.

Further, since the spring plate needs to be provided integrally with the main body having a complicated structure as compared with the drum, the structure of the main body is further complicated. There are problems that the structure becomes complicated and that it becomes difficult to form a spring plate that exhibits a desired elasticity.

Therefore, the present invention has been devised to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, and achieves the assembling and holding of the drum with respect to the main body by the locking force and the clamping force on the drum side. It is an object of the present invention to obtain a stable assembly of a drum with respect to a main body and a simple assembling, and to simplify the configuration of the main body.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention has a structure in which a locking ridge is provided on the upper edge of one side surface, and the side wall is extended across the bottom wall. A partition wall, a locking projection protruding from the bottom of the notch provided at the center of the partition wall, and an overhanging piece protruding from the upper edge of the other side surface of the side wall portion facing the one side surface of the partition wall, A drum storage portion having a butting piece that is located immediately below the overhanging piece and protrudes from a bottom wall portion facing the locking projection and that has a partition, and a lid that is openably and closably hinged at a rear end thereof. Having a short-cylindrical main body with a bottom, which is coupled, on the outer surface on the other side of the peripheral wall, a first projecting piece that is locked in a form sandwiched between the peripheral projection and the locking projection of the main body is provided in a hanging manner, It has a height equal to the height from the upper surface of the bottom wall of the main body to the locking ridge, and on the outer side of one side of the peripheral wall, And a second extension piece for engaging from the side,
A bottomed short cylindrical drum for accommodating cosmetics, wherein a first elastic piece is engaged with an engaging projection of the main body, and a second elastic piece is provided on the other side of the abutting piece of the main body. Having
It is in.

The main body has a bottomed short cylindrical outer frame in which a piece projects from the top surface of the bottom wall and a lid is hinged to the rear end, and a side wall fitted and assembled in the outer frame. And a short cylindrical middle frame body in which an outer flange-shaped top wall is continuously provided at the upper end, and a projecting piece, a partition wall, and a locking projection are integrally provided.

The overhanging piece is preferably provided over the entire width of the other side wall portion, and the locking projection is advantageously provided in a bridging manner over the entire length of the cutout.

It is preferable that the first bullet is suspended from the extension end of the first extension piece, and the second bullet is suspended from the extension end of the second extension piece.

It is effective to make the width of the first extension piece equal to the width of the notch, and it is effective to combine the first extension piece with the first bullet, the second extension piece and the second bullet. It is convenient to make the combination with the piece the same structure and the same size.

[0013]

In the state where the drum is assembled to the drum storage portion of the main body, the drum is configured such that the second elastic piece is elastically brought into contact with the abutting piece of the main body, and the peripheral wall is sandwiched by the locking projection of the main body. And the first projecting piece, the second extending piece is locked to the projecting piece of the main body, and the top surface of the peripheral wall is locked to the locking ridge of the main body from below, so that the two pieces cannot be detached. attached.

In this state, when the pull-up is performed while applying a pressing force to the extension end of the first extension piece fitted into the notch of the main body, the drum becomes elastic with the first and second elastic pieces. Disengaged to one side to release the locking of the top surface to the locking ridge of the main body. In this state, the other side, that is, the first extension one side is pulled up, and the peripheral wall and the first bullet are lifted. The locking projection is disengaged from between the pieces and the drum is pulled out of the drum housing.

In order to fit the drum into the drum housing of the main body, the second extension piece is inserted under the overhanging piece of the main body while the second elastic piece is pressed against the end piece of the main body. Then, while lowering the first extension piece side and inserting the first extension piece into the cutout of the main body, the locking projection of the main body is fitted between the peripheral wall and the first bullet, From the state in which the locking projection piece is fitted between the peripheral wall and the first bullet piece, the drum is slightly displaced to the other side by the elasticity of the first and second bullet pieces,
This is achieved by locking the top surface of the peripheral wall to the locking ridge of the main body from below.

As is apparent from the above-mentioned state of assembling the drum with respect to the drum accommodating portion of the main body, and the manner of operation of attaching and detaching the drum with respect to the drum accommodating portion, the assembling of the drum with respect to the main body has the resilience of the second resilient piece. Is achieved and maintained by the engagement force of the locking projection of the main body between the first bullet and the peripheral wall, and the operation of taking out the drum from the drum storage portion of the main body is performed by both the first and second operations. On the other hand, when the drum is elastically deformed, the mounting of the drum in the drum storage portion of the main body elastically deforms only the second bullet.

Since the first extension piece of the drum is fitted into the notch of the main body, the width of the first extension piece is made equal to the width of the notch of the main body, whereby the set of the drum with respect to the main body is set. This eliminates rattling in the width direction, and eliminates the need to provide a resilient portion on the main body side, thereby simplifying the structure of the main body.
