  In the contact lens case described in Patent Document 3, a plane mirror is attached to the outside of the container. The container is a contact lens arranged vertically, and the mirror corresponds to a cylindrical bottom, plane, or side. Attached to the part.

  In the case with a mirror described in Patent Document 4, a concave mirror is attached to the inside of the case lid.

  A contact lens that has a mirror on the outside of the case so that the user of the contact lens can easily see the mirror without opening the lid when it is necessary to check the contact lens condition. The challenge is to get a case.

  It is an object of the present invention to provide a contact lens case that can be easily attached and detached using a mirror for those who are attached to a magnifier instead of a plane mirror and have low vision. .

  Contact lenses can be attached and removed in various situations. For example, when dust enters the eyes, it is necessary to remove the contact lens in a hurry. Daily attachment / detachment is not always performed in a certain place. When the place where the case is placed is high, it is desirable that the mirror surface is inclined and the inclination angle is large. On the other hand, when the height for placing the case is low, the mirror surface is preferably not inclined or has a small inclination angle. In addition, when the place where the case is placed is narrow, a case having a length in the horizontal direction may be placed vertically. Therefore, it is desirable that the mirror surface can be easily set at various angles and various projection conditions depending on the user's preference, time, place, and purpose. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to obtain a mirror attached to a contact lens case that can easily set various angles and various projection conditions.

  In the invention according to claim 1, two containers arranged in parallel, a container base for connecting the containers, and two lids each having the two containers and having a mirror attached to the upper surface A contact lens case, wherein the upper surfaces of the two containers are inclined at an angle α with respect to the container base, and the mirror is inclined at an angle β with respect to the lid, Solve the problem.

  That is, in the present invention, the containers are arranged in parallel rather than in series. A container here is a container which puts a preservation | save liquid and a contact lens at the time of use. By attaching the mirror to the lids of the containers arranged in parallel, the user can project both eyes on the mirror at once, and can obtain more effects by attaching the mirror. The shape of the container may be circular or polygonal. In short, a contact lens may be included. The shape of the lid is not limited as long as the shape corresponds to the container, such as a circle or a polygon. The mirror attached to the lid may be any shape such as a circle, a polygon, or a star. What is necessary is just to be able to project the eyes of the user.

  The inclination with which the container is provided may be obtained by providing a difference in the thickness of the container base, or may be obtained by partially attaching a foot to the container base.

  The angle α and the angle β may be equal. The sizes of the angles α and β are determined according to the size of the contact lens case. Further, when determining the angle, it is necessary to set the angle so that the preservation solution to be put into the container does not spill. The bottom surface of the part that accommodates the contact lens preferably has the same inclination as the surface on which the case is placed, regardless of the inclination of the mirror surface.

  Since the mirror is attached to the upper surface of the outer side of the container, when the mirror is attached to the inner side of the lid of the container, the mirror can be adjusted to an angle that is easy for the user to see depending on the angle of the lid. However, if the mirror is provided outside the container and the mechanism for adjusting the angle is not provided, the user can extend his neck and bring his face to the top of the container. It was necessary to take a peeping attitude. This is not necessary if the container is pinched by hand and tilted. However, when attaching or detaching the contact lens, both hands are used, so it is easier to use without having to pinch the container. Therefore, it is desirable that the mirror surface itself be inclined.

  2. The contact lens according to claim 1, wherein when the lid is attached to the container, the inclination of the mirror with respect to a horizontal plane can be changed depending on a position where the lid is attached to the container. The problem is solved depending on the case.

  Depending on the position where the lid is attached to the container, for example, the position where the high part of the container and the high part of the lid coincide, the position where the high part of the container and the low part of the lid coincide, and the height of the container This means a position where the portion with the middle position matches the portion with the high lid height, and the like.

  The means for “matching” each part is, for example, providing one protrusion at a position on the inside of the lid that divides the circumference into four, and providing a groove for receiving the protrusion of the lid at a corresponding position of the container. Well-known techniques are used.

In order to complete the liquid leakage, a known packing may be provided inside the lid.

  According to claim 3, the problem is solved by the contact lens case according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the mirror is a convex mirror.

  By making the mirror a convex mirror, it is possible to enlarge what is reflected in the mirror. There are various types of mirrors that can be obtained in various angles as mirrors attached to the lid, and that the mirrors are convex mirrors. The user of the contact lens case according to the present application can obtain the best reflection of the mirror, the best reflection of time, place and purpose.

  By providing the mirror on the outside of the case instead of on the inside, when it is necessary to quickly check the contact condition, the mirror can be seen without opening the lid, which can be easily handled.

  By attaching the mirror to the lids of the containers arranged in parallel, the user can project both eyes on the mirror at once, and can obtain more effects by attaching the mirror.

  Moreover, what is reflected in a mirror can be enlarged by making a mirror into a convex mirror.

  By using a magnifying glass instead of a plane mirror, the contact lens can be easily attached and detached for those who have reduced visual acuity.

  In addition, the number of mirrors attached to the lid is obtained with various angles, and the mirrors are convex mirrors. As a result, the user of the contact lens case according to the present application can obtain the best reflection of the mirror, the best reflection of time, place, and purpose.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in Example 1.

In addition, when the lid 10 is attached to the container, when the container 10 is frequently attached so that the high part of the container and the low part of the lid coincide with each other, the mirror surface is inclined as shown in FIG. Minus the angle β. For example, when the angle α and the angle β are the same angle, the inclination is zero. 5 to 8 will be described with respect to the lid and the container, in addition to other combinations. Each figure is an explanatory view seen from above, and the container base is in an invisible position, but the direction in which the bh of the container base exists is indicated by an arrow. FIG. 5 shows the same state as shown in FIG. 4A, and FIG. 7 shows the same state as shown in FIG. In the state shown in FIG. 5, the mirror is most inclined, which is suitable when the mirror is viewed with the container placed at a high position. In the case of the state shown in FIG. 7, the inclination of the mirror is the slowest or not inclined, which is suitable when the container is viewed at a low position. The state shown in FIGS. 6 and 8 is suitable when the space for placing the case is narrow and the case needs to be placed vertically long.

  In Example 2, the mirror 13 is a convex mirror as shown in FIG. By using a convex mirror as the mirror, it is possible to enlarge what is reflected in the mirror during use. Enlarging makes it even easier to attach and remove contact lenses.
