  However, in a conventional compact container with a three-sided mirror, if the force to open the sleeve mirror is excessively applied, the central mirror sometimes floats from the lid.

  On the other hand, an object of the present invention is to provide a compact container with a multifaceted mirror including a central mirror and one or more sleeve mirrors, in which the central mirror is firmly attached to a lid.

  The present inventor attaches the central mirror to the central mirror frame and joins the central mirror frame to the lid outer member to form the lid. It has been found that the attachment strength of the central mirror with respect to external force is remarkably improved by providing a joint at a specific site.

That is, the present invention is a compact container comprising a container body for storing cosmetics, a lid body butterfly attached to the container body, and a polyhedral mirror comprising a central mirror and at least one sleeve mirror,
The central mirror and the sleeve mirror are attached to the central mirror frame and the sleeve mirror frame, respectively.
The sleeve mirror frame is attached to the left and right ends or one end of the central mirror frame via hinges,
The lid comprises a lid outer member and a central mirror frame joined to the inside of the lid outer member,
Provided is a compact container in which the joint between the lid outer member and the central mirror frame is located at the outer peripheral edge of the central mirror frame.

  According to the compact container of the present invention, when the lid outer member and the central mirror frame are joined to form the lid, the joint between the lid outer member and the central mirror frame is the central mirror frame. It is located in the outer peripheral edge part. On the other hand, when a force to open the sleeve mirror excessively is applied, the sleeve mirror frame hits the outer peripheral edge of the central mirror frame and presses it. This pressing force acts in the direction of pressing the joint between the lid outer member provided on the outer peripheral edge of the central mirror frame and the central mirror frame.

  In addition, when the compact container is dropped with the lid closed, and the impact force in the thickness direction is applied to the compact container, the impact force is applied to the outer peripheral edge of the central mirror frame. This acts in the direction of pressing the joint between the outer member and the central mirror frame.

  Therefore, the compact container of the present invention has an improved mounting strength of the central mirror with respect to the force for excessively opening the sleeve mirror and the external force applied with the compact container closed.
