Description

本発明は、プレストパウダー（粉末体を加圧して固形化したもの）の如きを内容物として装填した中皿を備えたコンパクト容器につき、蓋体を閉じた際の衝撃、構成部材の変位等によって発生することが懸念される内容物の割れを確実に回避しようとするものである。 The present invention relates to a compact container equipped with an inner pan such as a pressed powder (a powder body that has been solidified by pressurization), by impact when the lid is closed, displacement of components, etc. It is intended to reliably avoid the cracking of the content that is a concern.

化粧料の携帯に使用されるコンパクト容器は、普通、化粧料を使い切ったのちに新たに化粧料を補填して該コンパクト容器自体を長期間にわたって利用できるように中皿の取替えが可能になっている。 Compact containers used for carrying cosmetics usually have a replaceable inner plate so that the cosmetic containers can be used over a long period of time by supplementing with new cosmetics after the cosmetics are used up. Yes.

かかるコンパクト容器は、落下に伴う衝撃によって中皿に装填された内容物に割れが入るのを回避するために種々の緩衝構造が提案されているが（例えば、特許文献１参照）、蓋を閉めた際の衝撃に起因した内容物の割れや蓋を閉めた時の枠体の変形による割れ（枠体の変形により中皿の側壁が押圧されて内容物に割れが入る）がしばしば見受けられ、このような不具合に関する対策は今のところなされていないのが現状であった。
特開平3−31206号公報 For such a compact container, various buffer structures have been proposed in order to prevent the contents loaded in the inner dish from cracking due to an impact caused by dropping (for example, see Patent Document 1), but the lid is closed. Cracking of the contents due to impact at the time of cracking or cracking due to deformation of the frame when the lid is closed (the side wall of the inner plate is pressed by deformation of the frame and cracking the contents) is often seen, At present, no measures have been taken for such problems.

本発明の課題は、蓋を閉めた際の衝撃や構成部材の変位に起因した内容物の割れを回避できる新規なコンパクト容器を提案するところにある。 The subject of this invention exists in the place which proposes the novel compact container which can avoid the crack of the contents resulting from the impact at the time of closing a lid | cover, and the displacement of a structural member.

本発明は、弾性変位を可能とする隔壁の外側上部に係止片を有し、該隔壁及び周壁によって内容物装填用の中皿を入れ込む凹部空間を区画形成した容器本体と、この容器本体に枢支軸を介して開閉可能に揺動連結され、該係止片に連係させて容器を密閉状態に維持する蓋体とを備えたコンパクト容器であって、
前記中皿に、その側壁若しくは側壁から底面にかけて貼着され、少なくとも係止片が配設された前記隔壁の内側壁と該中皿の外周壁との間に隙間を形成するテープを設けたことを特徴とするコンパクト容器である。 The present invention has a container main body having a locking piece on the outer upper part of a partition wall that enables elastic displacement, and a partition space in which a content tray is inserted by the partition wall and the peripheral wall, and the container main body A compact container including a lid body that is swingably connected to be able to be opened and closed via a pivot shaft and is linked to the locking piece to maintain the container in a sealed state,
Provided with a tape that forms a gap between the inner wall of the partition wall and the outer peripheral wall of the inner plate, which is attached to the inner plate from the side wall or from the side wall to the bottom surface and at least the locking piece is disposed. It is a compact container characterized by.

上記の構成になるコンパクト容器において、前記テープの底面に位置する部位には、凹部空間の底部に貼り付く接着層を設けるのが好ましい。 In the compact container having the above-described configuration, it is preferable to provide an adhesive layer that is attached to the bottom of the recessed space at the portion located on the bottom surface of the tape.

また、前記隙間は、中皿の上端から下端に至るまでの寸法に対し、該中皿の上端から概ね1/3以上の深さとなるように構成するのが好ましい。 Further, it is preferable that the gap is configured to have a depth of about 1/3 or more from the upper end of the intermediate dish with respect to the dimension from the upper end to the lower end of the intermediate dish.

中皿を凹部空間に入れ込んだとき、該中皿の側壁と容器本体を構成する隔壁、周壁との相互間にはテープによって隙間が形成されるため、蓋を閉じたときの衝撃が直接伝播されたり、隔壁や周壁の変位によって中皿が押されることがなく、内容物の割れは回避される。 When the inner plate is inserted into the recessed space, a gap is formed by the tape between the side wall of the inner plate and the partition wall and the peripheral wall constituting the container body, so that the impact when the lid is closed propagates directly. And the inner pan is not pushed by the displacement of the partition walls and the peripheral wall, and the cracking of the contents is avoided.

以下、図面を用いて本発明をより具体的に説明する。
図１は本発明に従うコンパクト容器の外観斜視図であり、図中１は容器本体である。この容器本体１はその前面に弾性変位可能な隔壁1aが設けられ、この隔壁1a及びこれにつながる周壁1bによって内容物装填用の中皿を入れ込む凹部空間Ｍが区画形成されており、該凹部空間Ｍの底部には中皿を取替える際にピンやコイン等により中皿の底部から押し上げるための開口部1cが形成されている。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a compact container according to the present invention, in which 1 is a container body. The container body 1 is provided with a partition wall 1a that is elastically displaceable on the front surface thereof, and the partition wall 1a and a peripheral wall 1b connected to the partition wall 1a define a recess space M into which a content loading inner dish is inserted. At the bottom of the space M, an opening 1c is formed to push up from the bottom of the middle dish with a pin or a coin when the middle dish is replaced.

また、２は容器本体1に枢支軸（図示せず）を介して開閉可能に揺動連結された蓋体である。この蓋体２は揺動最先端の下面にフック2aが設けられており、このフック2aが隔壁1aの外側上部に設けられた係止片1dに連係することによって容器を密閉状態に維持する。 Reference numeral 2 denotes a lid that is swingably connected to the container body 1 via a pivot shaft (not shown). The lid 2 is provided with a hook 2a on the bottom surface of the rocking front end, and the hook 2a is linked to a locking piece 1d provided on the outer upper portion of the partition wall 1a, thereby maintaining the container in a sealed state.

３は容器本体１の凹部空間Ｍに入れ込むことができる中皿（底面を上にして表示）、４は開蓋時にフック2aの下端を蹴り上げることにより隔壁1aを内向きに弾性変位させてフック2aと係止片1dとの連係を解除して蓋体２の開放を可能とする押しボタン、５は中皿３の側面3aから底面3bにかけてその対向位置で貼着されたテープである。このテープ５は容器の要部断面を図２に示すように、隔壁1a、周壁1bの２箇所で中皿３との相互間にて隙間ｅを形成する。なお、図２に示した押しボタンは、容器本体前端に枢着された回転タイプのものとして示したが、本発明はこのような押しボタンに限るものではなくスライドタイプのものも採用可能であり、さらには、押しボタンを介することなくフック2aと係止片1dとを連係させるタイプのコンパクト容器としてもよい。 3 is an inner pan (displayed with the bottom face up) that can be inserted into the recessed space M of the container body 1, and 4 is an elastic displacement of the partition wall 1 a inward by kicking up the lower end of the hook 2 a when the lid is opened. A push button 5 that releases the linkage between the hook 2a and the locking piece 1d and enables the lid 2 to be opened is a tape that is attached at the opposite position from the side surface 3a to the bottom surface 3b of the inner plate 3. As shown in FIG. 2, the tape 5 forms a gap e between the inner plate 3 and two portions of the partition wall 1 a and the peripheral wall 1 b as shown in FIG. 2. The push button shown in FIG. 2 is shown as a rotary type pivotally attached to the front end of the container body, but the present invention is not limited to such a push button, and a slide type can also be adopted. Furthermore, a compact container of the type in which the hook 2a and the locking piece 1d are linked without using a push button may be used.

隔壁１aと中皿３とが接触した状態にあると、フック2aと係止片1dとの連係を解除すべく押しボタン４を押したとき該隔壁1aが弾性変位するためそれに伴って中皿３が押される一方、蓋体２を閉じた際には、その際の衝撃が隔壁1a、周壁1bを通して中皿３に伝播されるので内容物が割れるおそれがあるが、本発明に従うコンパクト容器は、隙間ｅが存在するため蓋体２を閉じた際の衝撃や隔壁1aの弾性変位に伴う押圧力が中皿３に直接伝播されることはなく、従って内容物は簡単には割れない。 When the partition wall 1a and the middle plate 3 are in contact with each other, the partition plate 1a is elastically displaced when the push button 4 is pressed to release the linkage between the hook 2a and the locking piece 1d. On the other hand, when the lid 2 is closed, the impact at that time is propagated to the inner plate 3 through the partition wall 1a and the peripheral wall 1b, so that the contents may break, but the compact container according to the present invention is Since the gap e exists, the impact when the lid 2 is closed and the pressing force associated with the elastic displacement of the partition wall 1a are not directly transmitted to the inner tray 3, and therefore the contents are not easily broken.

テープ５は、底面に位置する部位に凹部空間Ｍの底部に貼り付く接着層を設けることが可能で、これにより中皿３の凹部空間Ｍに対する設置をより確実にすることができる。また、テープ５を発泡性のタックラベルとして緩衝効果の向上を図ってもよいし、さらには図３に示すように中皿３の側壁にのみ貼着するようにしてもよい。なお、テープ５の幅は特に限定されるものではなく、自由に寸法設定することが可能である。 The tape 5 can be provided with an adhesive layer that adheres to the bottom of the recessed space M at a portion located on the bottom surface, whereby the installation of the inner tray 3 with respect to the recessed space M can be made more reliable. Further, the tape 5 may be used as a foaming tack label to improve the buffering effect, or may be attached only to the side wall of the inner tray 3 as shown in FIG. Note that the width of the tape 5 is not particularly limited, and can be freely dimensioned.

隙間ｅは図２に示すように中皿３の上端から下端に至るまでの寸法Ｈに対し、該中皿３の上端から概ね１／３以上の深さＨ_１になるようにテープ５を貼り付けるのがよく、これにより蓋体２を閉めた際の衝撃や隔壁1aが弾性変位した際の影響を著しく小さくできる。 As shown in FIG. 2, the tape 5 is affixed so that the gap H is a depth H ₁ of approximately 1/3 or more from the upper end of the intermediate dish 3 with respect to the dimension H from the upper end to the lower end of the intermediate dish 3. It is preferable to attach the cover 2 so that the impact when the lid 2 is closed and the influence when the partition wall 1a is elastically displaced can be remarkably reduced.

上掲図１においては、隔壁1aと中皿３との相互間と、その対向位置における周壁1bと金皿３との相互間の２面にそれぞれテープ５を配置する例を示したが、該テープ５は蓋体を閉じるときの衝撃や部材の変位の影響を極力小さくできれば隔壁1aが存在する部分のみ（１面）に配置してもよいし、これとは逆に４面にすべて配置することもでき、この点については限定されない。 In the above-mentioned FIG. 1, although the example which arrange | positions the tape 5 on each of two surfaces between the partition 1a and the intermediate plate 3 and between the peripheral wall 1b and the metal plate 3 in the opposing position was shown, The tape 5 may be arranged only on the part where the partition wall 1a exists (one side) if it can minimize the impact of closing the lid and the displacement of the member as much as possible. This point is not limited.

蓋を閉じた際の衝撃や構成部材の変位、押圧に起因した内容物の割れを回避できるコンパクト容器が提供できる。 It is possible to provide a compact container that can avoid cracking of contents caused by impact, displacement of component members, and pressing when the lid is closed.
