Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is a compact container in which a lid and a container body are connected via a hinge member, and in particular, the interior of the container body can be exposed by overlapping the inner surface of the lid on the back side of the container body. The present invention relates to a compact display container.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Since the compact container for display needs to be used after wiping off the cosmetic material as the contents, it is generally configured by combining a lid with a flat container body having a large opening. In many cases, the container main body and the lid are pivotally supported at one end, and a mirror is attached to the inner surface of the lid for use in use.
[0003]
In recent years, when displaying compact containers at stores, it is preferred to put the compact container in a transparent display package with the lid of the compact container open, and actually show the color of the cosmetics in the container to the purchaser. . However, when the lid of the container is opened, there is a limit to the opening angle of the lid, and since it is generally opened only up to about 180 degrees, it is twice as large as when the lid is closed. For this reason, the area for display is also required twice, which is disadvantageous for a limited area.
[0004]
On the other hand, there has conventionally been proposed a compact container for a display configured such that an open lid is accommodated on the back side of the container body. An example of a conventional compact container will be described with reference to FIG.
[0005]
As shown in the figure, the container body 50 is provided with a filling portion 50a for filling a compact (not shown), and a brush 50b and the like are attached. A boss portion 50c, which is a cylindrical protrusion, is provided on the side surface of the container body 50.
[0006]
On the other hand, the inner surface of the lid 51 is provided with a slide groove 51a corresponding to the boss portion 50c. Therefore, the lid 51 that has closed the container body can be rotated with the boss portion 50c positioned at one end of the slide groove 51a, and after opening at about 180 degrees, the boss portion 50c is slid into the slide groove 51a. By moving the mirror 51b, it is possible to store the mirror 51b along the back side of the container body.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the compact container configured as described above, since the boss portion 50c needs to slide smoothly in the slide groove 51a, it must be engaged with a certain amount of play. Further, since the boss portion 50c serving as the rotation support shaft is worn by sliding on the slide groove 51a, the engagement between the boss portion 50c and the slide groove 51a is further loosened with use.
[0008]
However, it is preferable that the lid 51 can stop rotating at an arbitrary angle in order to use the mirror 51b attached to the inner surface. For this purpose, the rotation support shaft connecting the container body 50 and the lid body 51 needs to have a certain degree of rotational resistance, and it is difficult to satisfy them together.
[0009]
In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a compact display container that can store a lid on the back of the container and can stop the lid at an arbitrary angle with respect to the container body.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, a typical configuration of a compact container for display according to the present invention includes a container body that is open on one side and can be filled with cosmetics, and is pivotally supported at one end of the container body. And a lid capable of sealing the opening of the container body, and the connecting member includes a sliding plate and a connecting hinge portion integral with the sliding plate, and the sliding member is connected to the sliding member. When the moving plate is fitted into the slide groove of the lid, the connecting member is slidably attached to the lid so as to follow the surface of the lid on the container body side . A compact container for display.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
An embodiment of a compact container for display according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a compact container according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view for explaining the operation of the compact container, and FIG. 3 is a view for explaining a state in which the compact container is housed in an exhibition package for display.
[0012]
The compact container shown in FIG. 1 is comprised from the container main body 1, the cover body 2, and the connection member 3 which connects these. The container main body 1 is provided with a filling portion 1a filled with the cosmetic 5 and is greatly opened on one side. Moreover, the main body hinge part 1b is provided in the end of the container main body 1, and the engaging part 1c is provided in the edge | side of the side facing this.
[0013]
The lid body 2 has a mirror 6 attached inside, and has a locking portion 2a that engages with the engaging portion 1c of the container body 1 at one end. In addition, slide grooves 2b are provided inside both side surfaces of the lid 2 so that the connecting member 3 can be fitted therein.
[0014]
The connecting member 3 includes a connecting hinge part 3 a and a sliding plate 3 b, and the connecting hinge part 3 a and the main body hinge part 1 b are connected by a spring pin 4. As a result, the connecting member 3 is pivotally supported by the container body 1 so as to be rotatable with a predetermined resistance.
[0015]
The sliding plate 3 b of the connecting member 3 is formed substantially equal to the width of the lid body 2, and both ends thereof can be fitted into the slide grooves 2 b of the lid body 2 and can slide. On the other hand, a restricting means 2c for restricting the movement of the connecting member 3 is provided on the inner surface of the lid 2 so that the connecting member 3 does not move in the slide groove 2b until a predetermined force is applied.
[0016]
Therefore, the position of the connecting member 3 is fixed by the restricting means 2 c at one end of the lid body 2 and is rotated by the spring pin 4. As a result, the lid 2 is also rotated with respect to the container main body 1, and is fixed to the container main body 1 by engaging the engaging portion 2a with the engaging portion 1c.
[0017]
Further, when the lid 2 is opened, the lid 2 can be slid with respect to the connecting member 3 by applying a predetermined force, and the lid is placed on the back side of the container body 1 as shown in FIG. The inner surface of the body 2 can be positioned facing each other.
[0018]
Next, the operation of the compact container configured as described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 2 (a), a compact container is sold in a transparent display package 7 as shown in FIG. Can choose while actually looking at the color of cosmetic 5. Moreover, the area occupied for display can be minimized by setting the occupation area to the same level as the closed state of the lid.
[0019]
In the compact container sold in such a form, the lid body 2 is first slid and pulled out from the back surface of the container body 1 as shown in FIG. Then, by applying a predetermined force or more, the sliding plate 3b gets over the established means 2c, and the movement of the lid 2 relative to the connecting member 3 is restricted as shown in FIG. 2 (c).
[0020]
By rotating the lid body 2 by 180 degrees in this state, the lid body 2 can be closed with respect to the container body 1 as shown in FIG. In normal use, the lid body 2 is opened and closed as shown in FIGS. 2 (c) and 2 (d).
[0021]
Here, since the connection hinge portion 3 a between the container body 1 and the connection member 3 is pivotally supported by the spring pin 4, the cover body 2 has a frictional resistance against rotation. A so-called free stop function that stops at an arbitrary angle can be provided.
[0022]
Further, by separately providing the spring pin 4 that is the rotating shaft and the sliding plate 3b, the sliding plate 3b can be provided with play with respect to the slide groove 2b, and can be configured to slide smoothly. it can. Similarly, since the rotating shaft does not wear due to friction caused by sliding, there is no possibility of losing the frictional resistance of the rotating shaft.
[0023]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the compact container according to the present invention, the container main body and the connecting member are rotatably connected and the connecting member and the lid are slidably connected to each other. Can satisfy the required functions. That is, the rotation axis of the container body and the connecting member is configured to be provided with a predetermined rotational resistance so that it can be stopped at an arbitrary angle, and the sliding mechanism between the connecting member and the lid is provided with play. And can be configured to slide smoothly.
[0024]
Further, the rotating shaft of the lid is not worn by sliding of the lid, and the container having excellent durability of the movable part can be obtained.
