Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a compact case that stores cosmetics together with an applicator, and is intended to reliably prevent deformation such as warping of a lid that fits the case main body and seals the inside thereof.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A compact case is often used in a parallel type in which a container such as a drum filled with cosmetics is arranged side by side with an applicator such as a puff because of its ease of use, and the case body has a pair of long sides. It has a storage area that has a substantially rectangular shape partitioned by a pair of short sides, and holds the lid so that it can swing by a hinge on one long side, while a hook is provided on the other long side It was common to lock the lid to the case body.
[0003]
By the way, this compact case has a structure in which the hook engages with the lid at the center in the longitudinal direction of the long side portion of the case body, and the region excluding the hinge and the hook piece is the case body and the lid body. Is in a state of being simply put together through the seal member, and in particular, the lid is likely to be warped and deformed, and the seal member is disposed between the drum filled with the contents and the lid to provide an airtight seal. Even if a structure that enhances the performance of the lid is used, if the lid deforms greatly, the sealing performance may be adversely affected. For compact cases containing highly volatile contents, the quality of the contents The problem was left where it could not be held stably.
[0004]
For this reason, recently, in order to deal with this type of problem, the compact body has been designed to prevent the deformation of the lid by shifting the engagement position between the case body and the lid to a location close to the container filled with the contents. Has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).

Utility model registration No. 2536562.
[0006]
[Patent Document 2]
Utility model registration No. 2607411.
[0007]
However, although the compact case disclosed in the above document can suppress deformation of the lid in the region including the container filled with the contents, in other regions other than that, the case body and the lid are engaged. However, there was still a problem of weakening and there was still room for improvement.
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The subject of this invention exists in the place which proposes the novel compact case which can ensure the engagement of a case main body and a cover body, and can ensure the stable sealing performance.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention provides a storage area that is substantially rectangular and is partitioned by a pair of long sides and a pair of short sides, and a partition recess in which an applicator such as a puff and the like is placed. A case body arranged in parallel, a lid body that is swingably held via a hinge at one long side portion of the case body, and seals the storage area together with the case body, and the case body side or the lid body side Is a compact case made of a sealing member that seals the inside of the drum,
The other long side of the case body and at least the short side on the side where the drum is located are provided with an engaging part that engages the lid at the same time to prevent it from being released, and the engagement is simultaneously released by pressing. a hook piece to be provided,
The hook piece has a claw part that engages with the lid body, a piece main body that is elastically supported so as to be pressed on the wall surface of the long side part, and a claw part that engages with the lid body. It is a compact case which consists of a leg part which slides along the wall surface of a short side part at the time of pressing of this piece main body .
[0010]
It is preferable that the engaging portions of the long side portion and the short side portion are respectively positioned at the center of each side. The case body side on which the seal member is disposed refers to either the case body, the inner frame or the drum, and the lid side refers to the seal member fixing member disposed on the lid body, the inner lid or the portion. Any one of these shall be pointed out.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings.
1 to 6 show an embodiment of a compact case according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the case body, FIG. 3 is a front view of the case body, FIG. 5 is a side view of the case body, and FIG. 6 is a plan view of the lid.
[0012]
1 to 6, reference numeral 1 denotes a case body. The case body 1 is provided with an applicator such as a drum d and a puff filled with contents in an approximately rectangular storage area defined by a pair of long sides 1a and 1b and a pair of short sides 1c and 1d. The partition recesses e to be arranged are arranged in parallel.
[0013]
Reference numeral 2 denotes a lid body that is swingably held at one long side 1b of the case main body 1 via a hinge (pivot support pin) h, and is combined with the case main body 1 to seal the accommodation area. A mirror 4 provided on the back surface of the body 2 is a seal member provided in parallel with the mirror 3 on the back surface of the lid 2. The sealing member 4 matches the edge of the drum d when the lid 2 is sealed with the case body 1 and maintains the inside of the drum d in an airtight state.
[0014]
Reference numerals 5a and 5b denote engaging claws provided integrally with the lid 2, and 6 denotes the center of the other long side 1a of the case body and the center of the short side 1c on the side where the drum d is located. The engaging portions 7 that simultaneously engage with the engaging claws 5a and 5b of the lid 2 to prevent the lid from being released, and 7 are hook pieces that simultaneously release the respective engagements by pressing.
[0015]
The hook piece 7 has a claw portion 6a of the engagement portion 6 that engages with the engagement claw portion 5a of the lid body 2 and is elastically supported so as to be pressed against the wall surface of the long side portion 1a. A leg that has a claw portion 6b of the engaging portion 6 that engages with the engaging claw portion 5b of the first piece and is integrally connected to the piece main body A and slides along the wall surface of the short side portion 1c when the piece main body A is pressed. It consists of part B.
[0016]
The appearance of the hook piece 7 is shown in FIG.
[0017]
When the lid 2 is fitted to the case main body 1 and the storage area is sealed, the lid 2 is reliably engaged with its engaging claws 5 a and 5 b simultaneously with the claws 6 a and 6 b of the engaging portion 6. Sealed.
[0018]
Further, when the piece body A of the hook piece 7 is pressed according to the arrow in FIG. 1 to open the lid 2, the engagement between the claw portion 6a of the engagement portion 6 and the engagement claw portion 5a is released and the foot portion B slides along the wall surface of the short side portion 1c (arrow in FIG. 2), and the engagement between the claw portion 6b and the engagement claw portion 5b is released.
[0019]
As shown in the figure, the compact case according to the present invention is engaged with the lid body 2 at two positions of the claw portions 6a and 6b of the engaging portion 6. In particular, at the portion where the drum d is disposed, the lid body 2 is engaged. Is pressed into the case body 1 at three points (hinge h, claw portion 6b, claw portion 6a), so that the lid 2 is not deformed by warpage or the like, and the inside of the drum d is always kept airtight. Is done.
[0020]
In the above-described embodiment, the engagement portion between the case main body 1 and the lid body 2 is provided at two locations, a long side portion 1a located on the opposite side of the hinge h and a short side portion 1c on the side where the drum d is located. In the present invention, although not shown in the drawings, in addition to this, it is also provided on the short side portion 1d on the side of the partition recess e where the applicator such as a puff is arranged, and the hook piece 7 You may make it prevent the opening | release of the cover body 2 by providing the foot | leg part which engages and cancels | releases in an engaging part, and totals three places of engagement.
[0021]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, when the compact case is closed, the lid is engaged at at least two places on the case main body, so that deformation due to warpage of the lid is avoided.
