Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic container (compact), and intends to realize various uses of the container.

  Cosmetic containers such as compacts generally have an internal space that can store contents such as eye shadows, eye liners, and foundations together with applicators (puffs, etc.), and the makeup status can be grasped on the inner surface of the lid. A mirror is assembled.

Normally, the mirrors assembled in this type of container are processed into various shapes such as a circle and a rectangle according to the shape of the lid, but any mirror is placed inside the lid via an adhesive or the like. The area that is normally fixed to the side and is projected on the mirror is always limited (see Patent Document 1). For example, in a container equipped with a vertically long mirror, the makeup situation is horizontally long. When it is desired to project, it is necessary to change the orientation of the container itself, and it is impossible to use in various ways depending on the usage situation.
Registered Utility Model No. 2538831

  An object of the present invention is to propose a cosmetic container that is easy to use and can be used in a wide variety of ways without requiring an extra operation so that a mirror provided on the inner surface of the lid can be rotated.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described conventional problems, and includes a case main body having a compartment recess for accommodating at least one of cosmetics and an applicator, and the case main body, which can be opened and closed. For a cosmetic container provided with a lid that closes the compartment recess, the lid is provided with a mirror that is rotatably held on the inner surface thereof in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction,
The mirror is fitted into the mirror main body, the circular first thin sheet or film fixedly held on the inner surface of the lid, and the first thin sheet or film so that it can be rotated and cannot be pulled out. Comprising a second thin sheet or film having an opening and holding the mirror body fixedly via an adhesive layer;
A first tapered portion that tapers toward the inner side surface of the lid is provided on the outer edge of the first thin sheet or film,
On the inner edge of the opening of the second thin sheet or film, a sliding surface is formed when the mirror body rotates toward the inner side surface of the lid and matches the first tapered portion. It is characterized in that it is provided with a second taper portion that forms a locking claw that prevents it from being pulled out.

  By rotating the mirror provided on the inner surface of the lid clockwise or counterclockwise within the inner surface, it is possible to change the projected area without requiring operations such as changing the container itself. (Especially in the case of mirrors with different vertical and horizontal lengths, the direction can be changed in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction, and when a concave mirror is incorporated in a part, the part can be set at a position where it can be easily seen). The range of how to use the container is further expanded.

  By using the first and second thin sheets or films as the members constituting the mirror turning mechanism, the thickness of the cosmetic container is not affected at all.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings.
1 to 4 are views showing an embodiment of a cosmetic container according to the present invention, FIG. 1 is an external perspective view showing a state in which the lid is closed, and FIG. 2 is a view showing the lid of the container in FIG. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the container shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is an external perspective view showing each part of the container in FIG. 1 in an exploded state.

Reference numeral 1 in FIGS. 1 to 4 denotes a case body. The case main body 1 is provided with a plurality of compartment recesses M ₁ and M ₂ for storing applicators such as cosmetics and puffs (see FIG. 2).

Reference numeral 2 denotes a lid that is fitted to the case body 1 via the pivot S so as to be opened and closed and closes the partition recesses M ₁ and M ₂ . A circular convex portion 2a having a flat tip is formed at the center of the inner surface of the lid 2, and a concave portion 2b is formed on the sidewall (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

Reference numeral 3 denotes a mirror that passes through the recess 2b of the lid 2 and is held so as to be rotatable clockwise or counterclockwise within the inner surface thereof. And the mirror 3 mirror body (mirror itself) 3a, a frame 3b for holding the mirror body 3a, circular first thin fixed held via the adhesive layer T ₁ on the convex portion 2a of the lid 2 and the sheet (or film) 3c, become a mirror body 3a from the second thin sheet (or film) 3d which is fixed and held to the frame 3b via the adhesive layer T ₃ while fixing and holding via the adhesive layer T ₂ The second thin sheet 3d is formed with an opening 3d ₁ that can be rotated to the first thin sheet 3c and cannot be pulled out. Here, the adhesive layers T ₁ , T ₂ and T ₃ are preferably provided close to the end edge on the rotating portion side in order to suppress deformation of the thin sheets 3c and 3d.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a first taper portion provided on the outer edge of the first thin sheet 3c. As shown in FIG. 3, the first taper portion 4 has a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape that tapers toward the inner surface of the lid 2. Reference numeral 5 denotes a second taper portion provided at the inner edge of the opening 3d ₁ of the second thin sheet 3d. The second taper portion 5 is similar to the first taper portion 4 in the lid 2. It has a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape that tapers toward the inner surface, forms a sliding surface when the mirror 3 rotates in conformity with the first tapered portion 4, and the second thin sheet 3d. A locking claw is formed to prevent the slipping out.

  The cosmetic container having the above-described configuration can be used by rotating the mirror 3 as shown in FIG. 5 with the lid 2 opened, and projects without the need to move the container itself. The area can be changed.

  In the present invention, the case where the mirror main body 3a is held by the frame 3b is shown as an example. However, the installation of the frame 3b can be omitted by a technique such as rounding the edge of the mirror main body 3a. In this case, there is an advantage that the number of parts can be reduced and the thickness of the cosmetic container can be made thinner.

  The cosmetic container shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is of a type in which the width end of the frame 3b protrudes from the width end of the lid 2 and the case body 1, but the width of the frame 3b is the lid. You may set to the same dimension as the width dimension of the body 2 and the case main body 1, and it is not limited about this point. In particular, the cosmetic container shown in the embodiment has a unique shape as compared with the external shape of this type of general container (vertically long compact), so that the discrimination power as a product is high. . The container can also be applied to a circular shape, an oval shape, or a square shape.

  Although not shown, a pair of convex portions or concave convex portions that contact each other are provided between the lid 2 and the frame 3b or the mirror main body 3a, and the convex portions contact each other when the mirror 3 rotates. The mirror 3 can be positioned by inserting a convex portion into the concave portion.

  For the first taper portion 4 and the second taper portion 5, the cross-sectional shape may be changed stepwise if possible, and the shapes can be appropriately changed as necessary.

  An easy-to-use cosmetic container that can rotate the mirror and can be used in various ways can be provided.

It is the external appearance perspective view which showed embodiment of the cosmetics container according to this invention. It is the external appearance perspective view which open | released the cover body about the container of FIG. It is the figure which showed the cross section about the container of FIG. It is the figure which showed each part of the container of FIG. 1 in the decomposition | disassembly state. It is the figure which showed the use condition of the cosmetics container according to this invention.
