Description

  The present invention relates to a compact used for storing cosmetics, and is intended to securely hold a drum as a refill container filled with cosmetics in a main body portion and to realize simple attachment / detachment. It is.

The compact generally has an internal space that can store cosmetics such as eye shadows, eyeliners, and foundations together with applicators such as puffs, especially for cosmetics from the viewpoint of realizing continuous use of the container body. A detachable cosmetic filling drum adapted to the internal space is incorporated so that only new cosmetic can be replaced after it is used up (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Utility Model Registration No. 2517071

  Normally, this kind of cosmetic filling drum is usually fixed to the main body portion of the compact container by being undercut fitted or fixed by a plurality of legs provided on the inner frame. It can be done easily.

  By the way, in a compact in which a drum having a square planar shape having a corner portion formed by a constant R or a drum having a round planar shape is mounted, and having a structure in which the drum is supported by the corner portion, It is common to adopt a cross-sectional shape with the same radius as the corner of the drum as for the part, but since such a leg is difficult to elastically deform itself, a large force is required for attaching and detaching the drum. There is a problem that is necessary, and when impact force is applied compactly due to inadvertent dropping, etc., the impact force is transmitted to the drum as it is through the legs (the impact absorption effect due to deformation is small), so the drum There was a risk of easily falling out of the internal space.

  An object of the present invention is to propose a novel compact capable of solving the conventional problems as described above.

The present invention comprises a drum having a corner portion or a curved surface for filling and holding cosmetics, and a container body having an openable / closable lid and having a storage space for detachably storing the drum therein. Compact,
An end-fixed flat plate having a wide surface facing each corner or curved surface of the drum in the storage space of the container body , the upper end being fixed to the container body, and the lower end being a free end Provided with an elastic piece,
On the wide surface of the plate-like elastic piece, a fitting rib or a fitting groove having the same R shape as the corner or curved surface of the drum is formed,
On the corner or curved surface of the drum, a fitting groove for undercut fitting to the fitting rib or a fitting rib for undercut fitting to the fitting groove is formed,
The compact is characterized in that the drum is sandwiched and supported between the opposing wide surfaces of the plate-like elastic pieces and held in the storage space .

  In the compact configured as described above, it is desirable that at least one of the plate-like elastic pieces also serves as a removal lever that releases the undercut fitting by elastically displacing the fixed end as a base point. In order to easily release the undercut fitting, it is preferable to extend the free end of the elastic piece.

  Further, the storage space can be provided with a pressing piece that elastically presses the side wall portion of the drum and presses and supports the drum in cooperation with the plate-like elastic piece.

  Further, the storage space includes a container main body or a base incorporated in the container main body, and an oscillating body that is pivotally connected to the container main body or the base and is retractably held and has at least one plate-like elastic piece. The rocking body can be provided with a lever that is gripped when the rocking body is raised, and a tongue piece that is positioned at the bottom of the drum and pushes up the drum in association with the raising of the rocking body.

  An elastically deformable flat plate-like elastic piece having a rectangular cross section is arranged at a location located at a corner portion of the drum (or a curved surface in the case of a round planar shape), and the same as the corner portion of the drum on the wide surface. When an R-shaped fitting rib or fitting groove is provided and undercut fitting is performed at the corner, the plate-like elastic piece is easily deformed, so that it can be attached and detached with a relatively small force.

  Further, even if an inadvertent impact is applied to the compact, the impact is effectively absorbed by the deformation of the plate-like elastic piece, so that the undercut fitting is not easily released and the drum does not fall out.

  The drum storage space is configured by at least two of the container main body or the base body and the rocking body, and the drum can be easily removed by pushing up the drum by lifting the rocking body.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings.

  1 (a) to 1 (c), 2 (a), 2 (b) and 3 show a compact embodiment according to the present invention, and FIG. 1 (a) shows a state in which a lid is removed. FIG. 1B is a diagram showing a cross section of the front surface with the lid attached, and FIG. 1C is a diagram showing a cross section of the side surface with the lid attached. 2A and 2B are an enlarged view of a main part of FIG. 1A and a cross-sectional view thereof, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the main part of FIG.

  1-3, reference numeral 1 is a container body, 2 is a lid body that is supported on the container body 1 through a pivot pin so as to be opened and closed, and 3 is an example having a substantially square planar shape for filling and holding cosmetics. It is the drum shown by.

  Reference numeral 4 denotes a flat plate-like elastic piece provided in the storage space of the container body 1. The plate-like elastic piece 4 has a wide surface facing each of the corner portions 3a to 3d of the drum 3 as shown in FIG. 4 as an external perspective view thereof, and as shown in FIG. It is elastically deformable with the fixed end 4a as a base point.

Reference numeral 5 denotes an R-shaped fitting rib provided integrally on the wide surface of the plate-like elastic piece 14 (see FIG. 2). The fitting rib 5 has the same shape as the corner portion of the drum 3. The drum 3 is supported by undercut fitting at the fitting groove portions provided in the corner portions 3 a to 3 d of the drum 3.

  Further, 6 is a pressing piece that supports the drum 3 in cooperation with the plate-like elastic piece 4 by elastically pressing the concave portion (flat surface) of the side wall portion excluding the corner portion of the drum 3, and 7 is a lower surface of the drum 3. The packing 7 is disposed between the storage space of the drum 3 and the packing 7. The packing 7 has a function of absorbing an impact applied to the drum 3.

  5 (a) and 5 (b) show the main part of a conventional compact. In the conventional compact, the leg portion 8 has a curved shape along the corner portion of the drum 3 as shown. Therefore, it has high rigidity and is difficult to be deformed, and requires a large force for attaching and detaching the drum 3 and has a small damping function with respect to the impact force, which may cause the drum 3 to fall off or the leg portion 7 to be damaged. However, the compact of the present invention has a flat plate-like elastic piece 4 corresponding to the leg of the conventional compact, and can be flexibly deformed. There is no inconvenience.
