Description

【０００１】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、化粧料容器に関するもので、より具体的には、容器本体と蓋体とをそれぞれの後端縁部で開閉自在に連結してなる化粧料容器に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、この種の化粧料容器においては、化粧料を充填した化粧皿を容器本体内に着脱自在に収納固定するために、実開平２−１０１０号公報に示されるような容器が公知となっている。この公知のコンパクトケースでは、器体と蓋体とが蝶番により開閉自在に蝶着され、器体内に収納凹所が形成され、ここに化粧料を収納した化粧料カートリッジが係合されている。この化粧料カートリッジの前端部には、支持片が前方に突出して形成され、一方、後端部には、保持片が下方に垂下して形成され、それぞれ収納凹所に係合可能になっている。また、器体内の化粧料カートリッジの後方部にはリフィールボタンが上下動自在に形成されている。このリフィールボタンの上端部には、押上片が立設されており、リフィールボタンを器体内に装着した状態では、押圧部が容器本体の下面から露出した状態で、押上片の上端部は化粧皿の保持片の下端部に当接している。そして、器体の下面からリフィールボタンを上方に押圧すると押上片の上端部が保持片の下端部を押上げ、これにより器体と化粧料カートリッジの保持片との係合が解除され、さらに化粧料カートリッジの前端部の支持片との係合も解除され、器体から化粧料カートリッジを取り出すことができるようになっている。
【０００３】
また、実開平３−１１９３１２号公報に示されるようなコンパクト容器では、コンパクト基台と蓋体とが蝶番により開閉自在に蝶着され、コンパクト基台内に収納凹所が形成され、ここに化粧料を充填した取り替え可能な中皿が係合している。コンパクト基台内にはガイド部が設けられ、このガイド部に沿って押しボタン部が上下動自在に設けられている。押しボタン部は、コンパクト基台の上端部から底部付近まで下方に延出し、さらに屈曲部を介してその先端部上面が中皿の下面に当接し、押し上げアームを形成している。また、コンパクト基台の底面には段部が設けられ、押しボタン部を押し下げた時、この段部の上面に押し上げアームの中程が当接するようになっている。さらに、中皿の外周面には係合突部が形成され、一方、押し上げアームの上面には突片が立設され、その先端部には中皿の係合突部と係合可能な係合突部が形成されている。そして、押しボタン部を上方から押し下げると、押し上げアームの中程が段部に当接し、屈曲部を介して先端部が上昇して中皿の底部を押上げ、これにより突片が外方に撓んでコンパクト基台と中皿との係合が解除され、中皿を取り出すことができるようになっている。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、かかる上記従来の化粧料容器にあっては、器体やコンパクト基台と、取り替え用の化粧料カートリッジや中皿との係合を解除するために、リフィールボタンや押しボタン部などの部品が別に必要であり、構造が複雑であるとともに、部品点数が多く、組付工程も複雑で、コストも高くなるといった問題点があった。
【０００５】
また、従来の化粧料カートリッジや中皿は、係合を解除する構造を形成するために器体やコンパクト基台と化粧料カートリッジや中皿との間に比較的広い空隙を設けなければならず、化粧料容器の大型化あるいは化粧料カートリッジや中皿を小さくしなければならないという問題があった。
【０００６】
本発明は係る従来の問題に鑑みてなされたもので、その目的は、容器本体内に交換皿を容易にかつ確実に装着することができ、一方、衝撃によって交換皿が偶発的に外れたりするおそれがない化粧料容器を提供することにある。さらに、容器本体と交換皿との係合を解除するための別途の組付部品が不要で、従って低コストで製造性がよく、また、無駄な空隙を極力排し、スペースを有効に活用できる化粧料容器を提供することにある。
【０００７】
【課題を解決するための手段】
かかる目的を達成するために本発明に係る化粧料容器では、容器本体と蓋体とをそれぞれの後端縁部で開閉自在に連結してなる化粧料容器において、容器本体内に摺動空間を空けて摺動自在に装着された交換皿と、交換皿と容器本体との間に形成され、交換皿を、その摺動を許容しつつ容器本体内に上下方向に係合させる係合手段と、容器本体に、その底部から摺動空間に向かって延出させて一体的に形成され、交換皿に圧接して交換皿を摺動方向反対側へ付勢しつつ交換皿の摺動で弾性変形される弾性変形部とを備え、交換皿の摺動により弾性変形される弾性変形部が、容器本体の底部に門形に切欠された容器本体の当該切欠部分内部に、交換皿の摺動方向に向かってかつ摺動空間に向かって屈曲された断面略Ｌ字状に延長形成されることを特徴とする。
また、本発明に係る化粧料容器では、容器本体と蓋体とをそれぞれの後端縁部で開閉自在に連結してなる化粧料容器において、容器本体内に摺動空間を空けて摺動自在に装着された交換皿と、交換皿と容器本体との間に形成され、交換皿を、その摺動を許容しつつ容器本体内に上下方向に係合させる係合手段と、容器本体に、その底部から摺動空間に向かって延出させて一体的に形成され、交換皿に圧接して交換皿を摺動方向反対側へ付勢しつつ交換皿の摺動で弾性変形される弾性変形部とを備え、摺動空間に向かって延出されて交換皿の摺動で弾性変形される弾性変形部が、容器本体の底部に形成された貫通孔に、当該貫通孔との間に空間を介して、交換皿の摺動方向に可撓変形可能に形成されることを特徴とする。
【０００８】
【作用】
本発明の作用について説明すると、容器本体内に摺動自在に装着される交換皿は、容器本体に一体的に形成した弾性変形部の作用で摺動方向反対側に付勢されるとともに、この交換皿と容器本体との間に形成した係合手段により容器本体に対して係合され、これらの相互作用によって交換皿は容器本体内に保持される。そして、蓋体を開放した状態で交換皿を摺動させると、この摺動は容器本体の弾性変形部の弾性変形によって許容され、この交換皿の摺動操作で係合手段が解除されることとなり、交換皿を容器本体から取り出して、新しい交換皿と取り換えることができる。
【０００９】
【実施例】
以下、本発明の好適な実施例を図に基づいて詳細に説明する。図１ないし図４は、本発明の第１実施例に係る化粧料容器を示す。本実施例は基本的には、容器本体２０と蓋体１０とをそれぞれの後端縁部で開閉自在に連結してなる化粧料容器において、容器本体２０内に摺動空間２７を空けて摺動自在に装着された交換皿４０と、交換皿４０と容器本体２０との間に形成され、交換皿４０を、その摺動を許容しつつ容器本体２０内に上下方向に係合させる係合手段としての第２の係合溝３３および第２の係合突条４８と、容器本体２０に、その底部２５から摺動空間２７に向かって延出させて一体的に形成され、交換皿４０に圧接して交換皿４０を摺動方向反対側へ付勢しつつ交換皿４０の摺動で弾性変形される弾性変形部としての可撓片２６とを備え、交換皿４０の摺動により弾性変形される可撓片２６が、容器本体２０の底部２５に門形に切欠された容器本体２０の当該切欠部分内部に、交換皿４０の摺動方向に向かってかつ摺動空間２７に向かって屈曲された断面略Ｌ字状に延長形成されて構成されている。
【００１０】
本実施例の化粧料容器は、図１および図２に示されるように蓋体１０，容器本体２０および交換皿４０より構成されている。蓋体１０は、容器本体２０とそれぞれの後端縁部で蝶番ピン１６によって開閉自在に枢着されている。蓋体１０の内面には鏡１１が接着され、前端縁部には爪片１２が垂下形成されている。また、爪片１２の下端内面には、第１の係合突起１３が一体的に形成されている。さらに、蓋体１０の後方中央部にはブロック体１４が垂下形成され、ブロック体１４の両側面には蝶番ピン挿通孔１５が穿設されている。
【００１１】
容器本体２０の前端部には切欠凹所２１が形成され、その奥面には蓋体１０の第１の係合突起１３と係合可能な第２の係合突起２２が形成されている。また、容器本体２０の上面には、交換皿４０を収納する凹部２３が形成され、この凹部２３を画成し、かつ容器本体２０の周壁を構成する前壁２４の中央部内面は、内方に突出して形成されている。
【００１２】
また、容器本体２０の前壁２４内方の中央部底部２５は、図３に示されるように、門形に切欠され、その内部には前方向に向かって、さらに上方向に向かって屈曲した断面略Ｌ字状の可撓片２６が延長して形成されている。この可撓片２６の先端部内面には第１の係合突部２８が形成されている。
【００１３】
さらに、容器本体２０の後端中央部には、切欠凹所２９が形成され、その両側端が蝶番片３０，３０となっている。この蝶番片３０，３０には、蝶番ピン挿通孔３１，３１が穿設され、蝶番ピン１６によって蓋体１０と開閉自在に蝶着されている。
【００１４】
さらにまた、凹部２３を画成し、かつ容器本体２０の周壁を構成する後壁３２の両端部内面には、係合手段を構成する第２の係合溝３３，３３が形成され、その下方部は傾斜面となっている。
【００１５】
交換皿４０は、容器本体２０の凹部２３内に収納可能な幅で、前後方向の長さは凹部２３より短く形成され、上面に化粧料を収納する複数の凹所４１，４１および筆等の化粧具を収納する凹所４２が形成されている。また、交換皿４０の周壁上端部には、これより外方に向かって水平に延出させて、鍔部４３が一体的に形成され、その端部は容器本体２０の凹部２３の周壁上端部を覆っている。さらに、この鍔部４３の前端中央部には容器本体２０の切欠凹所２１に対応する切欠凹所４４が形成され、後端中央部には容器本体２０の切欠凹所２９に対応する切欠凹所４５が形成されている。さらにまた、切欠凹所４５の中央部は、後方に突出する押圧部４６が形成されている。
【００１６】
また、交換皿４０の前端壁外面中央部には、可撓片２６に形成された第１の係合突部２８と係合する第１の係合溝４７が形成されている。さらに、交換皿４０の後端壁両端部外面には、容器本体２０の第２の係合溝３３，３３と係合して、係合手段を構成する第２の係合突条４８，４８が形成され、その下方部は傾斜面となっている。
【００１７】
上記のような構成の交換皿４０を略水平に容器本体２０の凹部２３内に上方から押し込むと、容器本体２０の可撓片２６の第１の係合突部２８が交換皿４０の前端底部に当接し、可撓片２６は若干外方に可撓変形して、第１の係合突部２８が交換皿４０の第１の係合溝４７と係合する。同時に、交換皿４０の後端壁両端部外面の第２の係合突条４８，４８は、その下方部に形成された傾斜面を介して、容器本体２０の第２の係合溝３３，３３と係合し、これにより、交換皿４０は可撓片２６により後方向に付勢された状態で凹部２３内に固定される。この際、凹部２３内壁２４と交換皿４０の前端壁との間には摺動空間２７が形成されている。
【００１８】
上記のようにして交換皿４０を容器本体２０に組み付けた後、容器本体２０と枢着された蓋体１０を閉じると、蓋体１０の第１の係合突起１３と容器本体２０の第２の係合突起２２とが係合し、蓋体１０は図２に示す閉止位置を占める。この際、蓋体１０のブロック体１４の内面と凹部２３後壁３２の切欠凹所２９との間には空間Ａが形成され、押圧部４６はこの空間Ａ内に、その先端部がブロック体１４の内面に近接した状態で延長されて、交換皿４０を前方へ押すことができるようになっている。そして化粧料を収納する複数の凹所４１および筆等の化粧具を収納する凹所４２が形成された交換皿４０は凹部２３内に確実に収納固定される。
【００１９】
一方、上記のように固定された交換皿４０を外す場合は、図４に示すように、蓋体１０を開放して、交換皿４０の押圧部４６を容器本体２０の後壁３２の外方から前方へ水平に押圧すると、可撓片２６の先端部が外方に可撓変形し、交換皿４０の後端壁の第２の係合突条４８が容器本体２０の第２の係合溝３３から離脱して係合が解除する。そしてさらに、交換皿４０の第１の係合溝４７から可撓片２６の第１の係合突部２８を離脱させることができて、交換皿４０は後方上方部へ抜き出される。そして、これにより化粧料を収納する複数の凹所４１および筆等の化粧具を収納する凹所４２が形成された交換皿４０は容器本体２０から離脱されることとなる。
【００２０】
このように、本実施例の化粧料容器によれば、容器本体２０と交換皿４０との係合および解除のための別部品が不要であり、従って構造が簡単で製造性が良く、低コストで生産することができる。
【００２１】
そして、容器本体２０と交換皿４０との係合を解除する際には、蓋体１０を開放した後、交換皿４０の押圧部４６を容器本体２０の後壁３２の外方から前方へ水平に押圧するだけで、可撓片２６の先端部が外方に可撓変形し、交換皿４０を容易に解除することができ、優れた脱着性を確保することができる。一方、装着する際には新しい化粧料や筆等の化粧具を収納した交換皿４０を上方から挿入するだけで、可撓片２６の先端部が外方に可撓変形し、その後この可撓片２６の付勢作用で交換皿４０の第２の係合突条４８と容器本体２０の第２の係合溝３３とが確実に係合し、衝撃によって交換皿４０が偶発的に外れたりするおそれがない。このように、本実施例では、交換皿４０の装着および離脱をバランスよく行うことができる。
【００２２】
また、この実施例のように交換皿４０には化粧料を収納する凹所４１のみならず筆等の化粧具を収納する凹所４２が一体に設けられており、化粧料のみならず化粧具も一緒に交換することができる。
【００２３】
なお、本実施例では、係合箇所２８，３３，４７，４８をそれぞれ容器本体２０の前後方向に形成しているが、この係合箇所２８，３３，４７，４８は交換皿４０の前方への摺動で外れる構成とすれば、容器本体２０の左右方向に形成してもよい。
【００２４】
図５は、本発明の第２実施例に係る化粧料容器を示す。この実施例では、蓋体１０ａの前端部内面角部にストッパ１７が突出形成され、蓋体１０ａを閉止した際に交換皿４０ａの鍔部４３ａの前端中央部に形成された切欠凹所４４ａの前端部に当接し、蓋体１０ａの閉止状態で交換皿４０ａが前方にずれるのを防止している。なお、その他の構成並びに作用は上記第１実施例の場合と同様である。
【００２５】
図６ないし図９は、本発明の第３実施例に係る化粧料容器を示す。本実施例は基本的には、容器本体２０ｂと蓋体１０ｂとをそれぞれの後端縁部で開閉自在に連結してなる化粧料容器において、容器本体２０ｂ内に摺動空間２７ｂを空けて摺動自在に装着された交換皿４０ｂと、交換皿４０ｂと容器本体２０ｂとの間に形成され、交換皿４０ｂを、その摺動を許容しつつ容器本体２０ｂ内に上下方向に係合させる係合手段としての第２の係合溝３３ｂおよび第２の係合突条４８ｂと、容器本体２０ｂに、その底部２５ｂから摺動空間２７ｂに向かって延出させて一体的に形成され、交換皿４０ｂに圧接して交換皿４０ｂを摺動方向反対側へ付勢しつつ交換皿４０ｂの摺動で弾性変形される弾性変形部としての可撓片３６とを備え、摺動空間２７ｂに向かって延出されて交換皿４０ｂの摺動で弾性変形される可撓片３６が、容器本体２０ｂの底部２５ｂに形成された貫通孔３５に、当該貫通孔３５との間に空間３８を介して、交換皿４０ｂの摺動方向に可撓変形可能に形成されて構成されている。この実施例では、容器本体２０ｂの上面に、容器本体２０ｂの前方への摺動空間２７ｂを空けて、交換皿４０ｂを収納する凹部２３ｂが形成されている。また、容器本体２０ｂの前壁２４ｂ内方の底部２５ｂの両側部には、図６および図７に示されるように、矩形の貫通孔３５，３５が形成され、これら貫通孔３５には容器本体２０の中心部側から両端に向かって、かつ摺動空間２７ｂ内に突出させて板状の可撓片３６，３６が形成されている。この可撓片３６は、連結部３７を支点として貫通孔３５の前壁側との間に空間３８を介して前方に可撓変形可能で、その上端部内面には第１の係合突部３９が形成され、その上方部は傾斜面となっている。
【００２６】
一方、交換皿４０ｂの鍔部４３ｂの前端両端部側下方には、爪片５０，５０が垂下形成されている。この爪片５０の先端部下方外面には、容器本体２０ｂの第１の係合突部３９，３９と係合する第２の係合突部５１，５１が形成され、その下方部は傾斜面となっている。
【００２７】
上記のような構成の交換皿４０ｂを略水平に容器本体２０ｂの凹部２３ｂ内に上方から押し込むと、交換皿４０ｂの爪片５０は容器本体２０ｂの前壁２４ｂ内方の底部２５ｂの可撓片３６と当接し、容器本体２０ｂの可撓片３６は空間３８内に若干可撓変形し、爪片５０の第２の係合突部５１は、傾斜面を介して、第１の係合突部３９と係合する。同時に交換皿４０ｂの後端壁中央部外面の第２の係合突条４８ｂは、傾斜面を介して、容器本体２０ｂの第２の係合溝３３ｂと係合し、これにより、交換皿４０ｂは可撓片３６により後方向に付勢された状態で凹部２３ｂ内に固定される。
【００２８】
一方、上記のように固定された交換皿４０ｂを外す場合は、図８および図９に示されるように、蓋体１０ｂを開放して、鍔部４３ｂの押圧部４６ｂを容器本体２０ｂの切欠凹所４５ｂの外方から前方へ水平に押圧すると、交換皿４０ｂの爪片５０の第２の係合突部５１が可撓片３６の第１の係合突部３９に圧接し、可撓片３６は連結部３７を支点として空間３８内に可撓変形し、これにより交換皿４０ｂの後端壁の第２の係合突条４８ｂが容器本体２０ｂの第２の係合溝３３ｂから離脱して、両者の係合が解除する。さらに、爪片５０の第２の係合突部５１を、容器本体２０ｂの第１の係合突部３９から離脱させることができて、交換皿４０ｂは後方上方部へ抜き出される。そして、これにより化粧料を収納する複数の凹所４１ｂおよび筆等の化粧具を収納する凹所４２ｂが形成された交換皿４０ｂは容器本体２０ｂから離脱されることとなる。なお、その他の構成並びに作用は上記第１実施例の場合と同様である。
【００２９】
【発明の効果】
以上のように、本発明に係る化粧料容器では、容器本体と蓋体とをそれぞれの後端縁部で開閉自在に連結してなる化粧料容器において、容器本体内に摺動空間を空けて摺動自在に装着された交換皿と、交換皿と容器本体との間に形成され、交換皿を、その摺動を許容しつつ容器本体内に上下方向に係合させる係合手段と、容器本体に、その底部から摺動空間に向かって延出させて一体的に形成され、交換皿に圧接して交換皿を摺動方向反対側へ付勢しつつ交換皿の摺動で弾性変形される弾性変形部とを備え、交換皿の摺動により弾性変形される弾性変形部が、容器本体の底部に門形に切欠された容器本体の当該切欠部分内部に、交換皿の摺動方向に向かってかつ摺動空間に向かって屈曲された断面略Ｌ字状に延長形成されたり、あるいは、摺動空間に向かって延出されて交換皿の摺動で弾性変形される弾性変形部が、容器本体の底部に形成された貫通孔に、当該貫通孔との間に空間を介して、交換皿の摺動方向に可撓変形可能に形成されることを特徴とするので、容器本体と交換皿との係合を解除する際には、蓋体を開放した後、交換皿を摺動するだけで、弾性変形部が変形し、係合手段を容易に解除することができ、交換皿の優れた脱着性を確保することができる。
【００３０】
一方、装着する際には交換皿を上方から挿入するだけで、弾性変形部が弾性変形し、この弾性変形の復元に伴う付勢作用と係合手段とにより交換皿を容器本体内に確実に係合保持でき、衝撃によって交換皿が偶発的に外れたりするおそれがない。
【００３１】
このように、本発明では、交換皿の装着および離脱をバランスよく行うことができ、容器本体と交換皿との係合および解除のための別部品が不要であり、従って構造が簡単で製造性が良く、低コストで生産することができる。
【００３２】
また、容器本体と交換皿との間に無駄な空隙も極力排することができるので、スペースを有効に活用できる。
