Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a cosmetic compact that accommodates cosmetics such as funny, lipstick, eye shadow, and blusher.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the conventional cosmetic compact has a container-like main body 101 for storing contents 100 such as a lipstick, and covers the opening of the main body 101 and is hinged to the main body 101 (not shown). It consists of a lid 102.
The main body 101 and the lid 102 are connected by a hinge, and the outward projection 103 of the main body 101 and the inward projection 104 of the lid 102 are engaged with a portion facing the hinge (the engagement margin is X in the drawing), thereby the lid 102 is closed.
[0003]
When opening the lid 102, as shown in FIG. 9, a hook piece 105 is used and the engagement is forcibly pushed up by the hook piece 105. Reference numeral 106 denotes a puff placed on the contents 100, and reference numeral 107 denotes a mirror attached to the lid 102.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the conventional cosmetic compact described above, as shown in FIG. 9, by pushing the hook piece 105, the inward projection 104 of the lid 102 is pushed upward from the outward projection 103 of the main body 101, and meshing (meshing allowance X) is performed. Release the lid 102. The cosmetic compact needs to have a large engagement allowance X in order to prevent the lid 102 from opening due to an impact such as when the cosmetic compact is dropped.
[0005]
When the engagement allowance X is increased, the force for pressing the hook piece 105 during use increases, and the feeling of use deteriorates. When the feeling of use is emphasized and the meshing allowance X is made small, there is a problem that the lid 102 opens and the contents 100 are scattered when dropped.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, the present invention provides a makeup comprising a container-like main body and a lid that covers the opening of the main body and is hinged to the main body so that the lid does not open when the cosmetic compact falls. In the compact for use, a lock groove is engraved on the outer peripheral surface facing the hinge of the lid, and a portion facing the hinge of the elliptical elastic ring fixed to the hinge side of the main body is provided to engage with the lock groove, When the elliptical elastic ring is pressed from the direction orthogonal to the straight line connecting the hinge and the locking groove, the elliptical elastic ring is released from the engagement with the locking groove and the lid is opened.
[0007]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The present invention will be described in detail below based on specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cosmetic compact includes a container-like main body 1 and a lid 2 that covers the opening of the main body 1 and is hinged to the main body 1 (not shown). A horizontal lock groove 3 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the lid 2 facing the hinge. On the other hand, the base end side of the elliptical elastic ring 4 is fixed to the hinge portion of the main body 1, and further, as shown in FIG. 11 is engraved, and the elastic ring 4 is fitted into the holding grooves 11 and 11. The depth of the holding grooves 11 and 11 is set deeper than the depth x of the lock groove 3 (see FIG. 1) so that the elastic ring 4 is not disengaged from the holding grooves 11 and 11.
[0008]
A portion facing the hinge side of the elastic ring 4 fixed to the hinge side of the main body 1 engages with the lock groove 3 to close the main body 1 with the lid 2.
Reference numeral 12 denotes contents such as lipstick, eye shadow, and blusher, reference numeral 13 denotes a puff placed on the contents 12, and reference numeral 14 denotes a mirror attached to the inner surface of the lid 2. When the elastic ring 4 is pressed from a direction orthogonal to the straight line connecting the hinge and the lock groove 3, the elastic ring 4 is bent, disengaged from the lock groove 3, and the lid 2 is opened.
[0009]
As shown in FIG. 3, the elastic ring 4 is set so as to be fixed at the hinge portion and engaged with the lock groove 3. The main body 1 and the lid 2 are circular in a plan view, the elastic ring 4 is an ellipse, and the short side portion corresponds to the hinge and the lock groove 3 portion.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, when the lid 2 is opened, as shown in FIG. 4, when the cover 2 is pushed from the direction perpendicular to the straight line connecting the hinge of the elastic ring 4 and the lock groove 3, the hinge of the elastic ring 4 is The part opposite to is distorted and the cover 2 is released from the lock groove 3.
[0010]
When closing the lid 2, simply holding the lid 2 closes the opening of the main body 1, and the elastic ring 4 engages with the lock groove 3 of the lid 2.
When the compact is dropped, as shown in FIG. 5, since the impact is applied to the elastic ring 4 from only one side, the elastic ring 4 moves slightly along the lock groove 3 and the elastic ring 4 comes off the lock groove 3. Without the lid 2 being opened.
[0011]
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, since the conventional compact has the hook piece 105, the front shape is determined.
However, in the compact of the present invention, the front shape is smart as shown in FIG.
[0012]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the present invention is a cosmetic compact comprising a container-shaped main body and a lid that covers the opening of the main body and is hinged to the main body, and a lock groove is formed on the outer peripheral surface facing the hinge of the lid, The part of the elliptical elastic ring fixed to the hinge side of the main body that opposes the hinge is provided to engage the lock groove, and the elliptical elastic ring is pressed from the direction perpendicular to the straight line connecting the hinge and the lock groove. Then, since the oval elastic ring is a cosmetic compact in which the engagement with the flexible lock groove is released and the lid is opened, the lid does not open even when the cosmetic compact is dropped. Further, even if the meshing allowance X is increased, it is not necessary to press a small hook piece, so that it is difficult to deteriorate the feeling of use.
[0013]
Further, the present invention is smart as a cosmetic compact because an elastic ring is used for opening and closing the compact.
Furthermore, since the present invention only requires pressing the elastic ring as compared with the conventional opening and closing by the hook piece, the opening and closing of the compact becomes extremely easy and is suitable for use by elderly people.
[0014]
Furthermore, since the present invention does not require a hook piece as in the prior art, the molding of the main body and the lid is extremely easy, and an inexpensive cosmetic compact can be provided.
